57. Rena's plan
Contract quests, both in-game and in the real world, are common quest types.
Or rather, mass tasks.
Mercenaries, adventurers, and adventurers can occasionally receive such contract quests in their respective guilds. Of course, these contract missions like adventurers and mercenaries are basically relatively competitive, so there is often a certain degree of mortality in many cases even for missions such as F-rank.
However, for mercenaries and adventurers, they can only blame themselves for their inferior skills when they die, and whether there will be revenge is another matter.
In the classification of task levels, tasks such as F-level and A-level can only be seen by players, and the judgment of NPCs is just the classification of higher-level contracts, intermediate contracts, and lower-level contracts. For example, A-level tasks are superior contracts; B-level and C-level tasks fall under the category of intermediate contracts; Then the three levels of D, E, and F are the scope of the subordinate contract.
On top of the higher-level contract, there is also a special contract, which is commonly known as the S-level mission in the player's mouth.
However, this kind of S-class mission usually requires the cooperation of several people to complete, and there is basically no situation where a single person can complete it. And basically all S-class quests will not appear on the taskbar, but will require a specific summons to receive such quests.
Like Sean, being able to receive an A-level mission here at the Potter Tavern is already reaching the top. And in the eyes of Old Porter and Little Porter, Sean's situation can only be regarded as a novice. No matter how high the evaluation of him is at this time, if there is not enough task completion rate and completion to support it, even if there is an S-class mission. They won't take Sean into account in the first place.
That's the reality.
In the darkness of the night, Sean stepped out of an alley, and behind him, a faint smell of blood filled the air.
In the alley, a total of six corpses were lying.
No more, no less, exactly the same number of strong men who had left the Potter Tavern after Sean.
Originally, for such a person, Sean also felt that it was not necessary to kill them all. It would have been nice to teach him a lesson, because he knew that the slums of Ludao were also areas where the law of the jungle was believed, and it was even more naked than the outside world. It's just that those people who have bad intentions still want to kill people. Then Sean felt that he didn't have any need to keep his hand, and certainly he wasn't cruel or mad enough to take pleasure from ravaging his opponents.
Each of these six strong men was killed with a direct blow, without wasting even a little bit of strength.
"Your Excellency." After coming out of the alley. Pass around a corner. Rena stepped out of the shadow in the corner of the wall and followed Sean.
"Are you familiar with the terrain of the royal capital?" Sean asked.
"Yes." Rena nodded.
Whenever you go to a new place, if you are sure that you want to stay or stay for a long time, then familiarizing yourself with the terrain is the first priority for mercenaries or adventurers. Although Rena, who was born as a mercenary, now has her own title and fiefdom, she still maintains many of the habits of the mercenary period, and these good habits allow her to gain a lot of benefits in many ways.
So these days, although Rena has been walking around the royal capital like everyone else, she has also clearly engraved almost all the terrain of the entire royal capital in her mind.
"I need you to help me chart a course of action." Sean said softly. "I just got a ...... assignment"
"Mission?" Rena looked at Sean in disbelief.
With Sean's current identity, the only person who can give him a task is probably the current King Lane. But Sean didn't leave the palace at this time. Naturally, it is impossible to have a private visit with King Lane, so it is really difficult for Rena to understand what kind of situation Sean is talking about.
Seeing Rena's appearance, Sean knew what Reina was thinking, so he explained with a smile: "It's just to make some extra money, it's not a big task, it's actually just killing someone." ”
"Will this affect you in any way, my lord?" Rena's brows furrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "After all, with your current status......"
"No, it won't." Sean shook his head, "Unless you're more familiar with me, it's hard to recognize me as I am." …… This time, the target is not a big person, just an ordinary businessman, I just took an assassination commission so I went to kill someone. As for other details, disputes, or whatever, I don't want to think about it. ”
"In that case, please leave this task to me, sir." Rena whispered.
"No need, I'll just come." Sean shook his head in refusal.
Contract tasks like this need to be completed by the person receiving the task in person to be able to exchange for rewards. Although I don't know what exactly is going on, there are indeed people in the game who asked relatives and friends to help solve the mission goal, but after the mission target died, he himself was unable to complete the task, and it directly showed that the mission failed. So even though it's in the real world, Sean still doesn't dare to risk letting Rena try.
After all, this quest is a reward of five proficiency points.
It is considered the task with the highest reward value in the Potter Tavern, and the next task with proficiency point rewards is three, which are three points and two points.
In other words, if Sean is sharp enough, then he can farm four tasks here at the Potter Tavern that can increase proficiency points, and finally be able to obtain ten proficiency points. The two that Xuefeng started there are a total of twelve proficiency points. Although this was still six points short of Shaun's desired eighteen proficiency points to increase agility, Sean did not expect to be able to get eighteen proficiency points before the martial arts festival began.
In the remaining nearly half a month, Sean is only preparing three to five days to brush off these four tasks that increase proficiency points, and the remaining nearly ten days are ready to be used to transform his dead bones. Although his intuition made Sean feel that the dead bones would definitely involve a huge mission, and it might even be an epic or even mythical mission, but in the current situation of completely lacking enough clues, Sean is really too lazy to explore.
Of course, the most important thing is that, judging from the clues that have been available so far, this mission will have to go to trouble with a devil lord or demon commander.
An existence like this is already an existence beyond the legend.
In the game, it is said that the rank of 12 and above is the update content after the sixth expansion.
One can imagine how difficult the task is.
So Sean only thought about it a little and decided to give up.
Under Sean's description, Rena quickly recognized where Sean was on a mission.
"Rosaun Hall." Rena began, "I think this is the best place to start. ”
"Reason."
"This is a high-level guild hall, which is basically a place where money is not recognized, although it will definitely be very strict in terms of guards, but it also gives us enough opportunities to take advantage of." Rena opened her mouth and analyzed, "No matter what your identity is, as long as you can have enough money, then you can get enough space and permissions here. ”
"Not bad." Sean nodded in satisfaction, "However, this hall seems to allow retinues to enter. ”
"Yes." Rena nodded, "But basically, there is a special place for your entourage to rest, as long as your target is not resting in a public place, then his entourage can definitely only rest and wait in a specific place, this is your chance." ”
"What about the evacuation route?" Sean thought about it for a while, and found that the idea provided by Rena is still very concise and clear, and the most important thing is that it is very feasible, although the randomness and surprise are also not low, but Sean does not think there will be much trouble in this regard, because he can use the player's experience to make up for these problems.
"Because of the existence of something in the guild hall itself, this guild hall has a total of six exits, including two underground tunnels." "But my lord, you don't need to leave through the underground tunnel, you can leave from the south side, and after coming out, you can go through the corner and enter the Earl's Avenue, where there is a Earl's Square, where many people gather throughout the day. ”
Places with high crowd density are indeed good places to shake off the tracking or other unexpected situations that may be pursued.
At this point, Rena's theory is naturally correct.
It's just that Sean can't tell if this is caused by Rena's past survival experience, or if it's an ability trained by William. But in any case, the ability that Rena has now has completely demonstrated that Rena is now a very qualified commander.
"I see, just do what you say." Sean thought about it and realized that he really couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded in agreement.
"One more thing, please keep in mind, sir." Rena said very seriously.
"What?" Sean asked.
"There are four roads leading to Earls Square, two of which are very prosperous, one that leads directly out of town, and one that leads to the ghetto." Rena looked at Sean and said very carefully, "No matter what the circumstances, you can't choose these paths to leave. ”
"So?"
"Your Excellency, you must choose a place where no one can find you, remove all your disguises and possible clues, and then choose a place to rest. …… At that time, I will pick you up with Cecilia. ”
Hearing Rena's words, Sean instantly understood what she meant.
Think backwards! (To be continued......)
