Chapter 37: World Mission
As we all know, the four words "unkind invitation" are usually not followed by any good words. Unlike "a big responsibility from heaven", which can only be used for one's own misfortune, the former is usually something that is originally related to the person involved.
It's irrelevant, but being 'invited' will cause a lot of trouble and other nonsense.
If the person sitting here was Tan Mo, he would have probably already walked away as soon as the other person finished speaking, or he immediately started to figure out how to preemptively find something to do before the other person tricked him.
Drag the other party down...
However, Mo Tan did not have such thoughts at this time. On the contrary, he really hoped to do something for the Lin Jing caravan that had just helped him solve a big problem, so he immediately made a sound of listening.
Posture: "Please speak~"
Yaya on the side was playing with his fingers with a sad face and muttering: "If you don't want to... please? If you don't please please?"
It seemed that Elder Broken Branch didn't care that she followed him. It seemed that mosquito coils had begun to appear in the girl's big watery eyes.
"Many years ago, our tribe made an agreement with a group of natural beings." Elder Broken Branch gently stroked his long leek-like beard and whispered in the sharp voice of the forest elf: "Ten thousand years of
Time, even if the forest elves are a long-lived species with a lifespan almost equal to that of the elves, it is long enough for us, just like a story."
Mo Tan nodded, his eyes focused and clear.
"Shang Wang Nian... Wu?" Ya Ya muttered in a low voice.
Mo Tan: "......."
"But some time ago, those beings who had disappeared for who knows how many years suddenly contacted us." Elder Broken Branch was not disturbed by the barking (...), and just played with the leeks on his chin and continued:
"They want our clan to fulfill their promise, and the sooner the better."
"So the purpose of this caravan is actually..." Mo Tan was very smart and had already made some basic associations after hearing this.
He had heard from McGonagall before that the forest elves rarely set foot outside the forest where they live. They usually have fixed channels and channels for trade with other races, and he has almost never heard of them organizing long-distance travel.
Such things as caravans.
So although it couldn't be called big news, this incident still puzzled Jiu Mengzi for a long time.
And the answers now seem to be starting to emerge...
"Wow!" Yaya tugged on Mo Tan's sleeve, and his expression suddenly became very excited: "Hey, Wang Nian!"
This girl is simply an atmosphere killer!
Perhaps because he always cared for small animals, Mo Tan subconsciously reached out and patted Yaya's head, then pinched her ears and signaled the dog lady to be quiet for a while.
Then……
Sorry, there are no settings for sensitive parts, blushing, etc. Yaya just shrank his neck obediently and really calmed down.
"Well, then let's continue." Elder Broken Branch saw that Mo Tan's 'True Serenity Soothing' was quite effective, so he continued: "As you think, our purpose this time is to fulfill the agreement in the past. Lin Jing has always been
We are a trustworthy race, and even if it is a favor from thousands of years ago, our race will always remember it in our roots."
Hmm... It probably means something similar to remembering it in your heart...
"But the journey to complete the mission was not smooth." Duanzhi suddenly looked serious (as Mo Tan guessed) and said in a deep voice: "Because the matter is so important, in order to confuse those evil people, our clan sent twenty-one caravans.
We went out at the same time, both in terms of route and scale, but they were still all targeted."
Mo Tan frowned slightly: "Evil people? Are you talking about...the group of people who attacked the caravan last time?"
"They are just a part of it." Broken Branch shook his head and said: "Some time ago, unknown forces suddenly spread rumors throughout the continent, claiming that our clan was about to escort a treasure to a certain place, but that plan could no longer be delayed.
, we could only embark on the journey within the specified time, and in a hurry we thought of this way of confusing the public."
Mo Tan had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and just nodded lightly: "What can I do to help you?"
"The caravan will be out again soon." Broken Branch whispered: "But no one can guarantee that those greedy chaos and evil people will come again, so I want to ask you to help me keep this..."
Click!
When the Lin Jing elder said this, he broke off his right arm and handed it to Mo Tan.
What's going on? Yan Zhixing mutilated himself? Or is this arm, which is not much thicker than a wheat stalk, the legendary unicorn arm that lasts for thousands of years?
"Huh?" Although the latter's ability to accept is really not weak, he was still a little confused for a moment: "I don't understand very well."
"It would be a strange thing for me named 'Broken Branch' to have sound limbs." Elder Lin Jing chuckled, raised his remaining left hand and lightly scratched the wheat stalk in front of Mo Tan: "It's just that
It’s just a little bit of a deception.”
A distorted curtain of light appeared in front of Mo Tan, and then he heard Yaya beside him, who had been trying to stay calm, let out an 'ouch' in surprise.
"It's crazy!!"
After the disguise faded away, the 'broken arm' has completely transformed into something else. It looks like a prism-like pure white crystal with four colors of blue, green, crimson and light gold faintly shining on it. Observe carefully.
If you do, you will also find that there are countless lines wandering inside.
"I hope you can keep this thing temporarily for a few days." Broken Branch raised the crystal in front of Mo Tan and said solemnly: "Whether I saw it with my own eyes or the mother tree's feedback, I was told that you are worth it.
trust."
Of course Mo Tan is trustworthy at this moment, and he knows this very well, and now that he thinks about it, he redeemed himself before... The girl's scene should have been seen by Elder Broken Branch, and the feedback from the so-called mother tree may have something to do with it.
Maybe it's related to his 'lawful good' alignment.
But he still didn't take it rashly...
"Thank you for your trust." Mo Tan said with some embarrassment: "But it may be difficult for me to complete this task with my strength. To be honest, even the sand goblins I encountered last time could be defeated as long as the number is slightly larger.
I chopped it, so..."
Unexpectedly, Elder Broken Branch shook his head: "The target of those villains should only be our forest elf caravan, so there is no reason to find you. And if this contracted object is not in our hands, the other party may not necessarily kill them all.
, after all, Mr. McGonagall and the others are not weak."
"That is to say." Mo Tan said thoughtfully: "This way you will be much safer?"
"Exactly."
"Okay." Mo Tan finally agreed, taking the crystal prism in front of him that looked like it had a lot of history, and solemnly said: "I will try my best to protect it."
This means that in the game, if it were in reality, Mo Tan might not dare to accept this thing at this moment, not for anything else, but mainly to protect himself...
After all, Mo Tan was capable of such things as accidentally switching personalities and slicing or reselling things that were entrusted to him.
【Eternal Crystal】
The only mission item, equipment
Equipment restrictions:???
Attributes:???
Traits:Core power source
[Note: In most cases, this thing is useless, even if it is used for lighting, it is too heavy.]
In short, it is - although I don't understand it, I feel it is powerful.
Then a system prompt sounded in Mo Tan's ears.
[You have entered the world mission: escort the eternal crystal, mission reward: none; failure penalty: world collapse degree 3%]
???
Mo Tan suddenly felt his shoulders sink!
It doesn’t matter that there are no mission rewards...
But what is the degree of collapse of this world?
It was just a mission, just a favor, why did the event level suddenly rise to such a high level!?
"Someone will come to pick you up in three days." Elder Broken Branch nodded to Mo Tan: "Then our caravan and Captain Mag will set out on their way first."
Mo Tan nodded stiffly, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After a few more pleasantries, Elder Broken Branch and his two followers said goodbye and left, while Mo Tan put the influential eternal crystal into his bag under Yaya's curious eyes.
Although the latter was a little regretful about the fact that "The Shining Glitter is gone", he was not too surprised. After all, space magic props do not seem to be uncommon in this world.
After appeasing the dog girl for a while, Mo Tan left the Adventurer's Guild alone. Although the former had a great affection for him, Mo Tan had no idea of turning her into his bound girl.
At first, he was a little worried that the current meeting with Yaya would not put the latter in danger. After all, although Broken Branch said that this commission was relatively safe, the previous large-scale attack still made him a little scared.
The second thing is that he is planning to change his account to take a look at the situation on the Fenrir team, and is eager to find a place where no one is around to log off...
If you think about it from another angle, being offline is also of great benefit to protecting that eternal crystal.
However, there was an incident on the way.
Knowing that Mo Tan could no longer travel with the caravan for some reason, Mag immediately stopped him on the road and told Mo Tan to work hard to improve his strength and adventurer level. When he became a little stronger, he quickly considered whether to
After saying something like joining the Savage Dragon Mercenary Group, he was given another prop.
[Safety Escape Device Version 2714]
Disposable consumables
Use: Eject you 'safely'.
[Remarks: The latest escape device of the Goblin Engineering Alliance can allow you to quickly stay away from danger while enjoying a refreshing and elegant journey. Its safety is absolutely guaranteed. ps: Don’t believe it]
To be honest, without the last sentence, Mo Tan felt that he would be even more grateful to this dwarf warrior with a bold personality.
It's getting late

When Mo Tan appeared in front of the Fenrir team's station, night had already arrived in the Innocence Continent. In the real world, it was difficult to see the stars intertwining in the sky to form a magnificent scene.
Shining light on a certain land that is in the distant future for them...
However, even though he wanted to stay a little longer, Mo Tan rushed to the military camp after going online. After all, he knew that he might be kicked offline at any time, and he didn't know which 'self'...
Some of his thoughts during the day made him a little uneasy.
"Yo!" A clear voice interrupted the increasingly ominous thoughts. Yin Na, the sharpest-eyed among the team, spotted Mo Tan immediately and immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "Our commander is here."
Ned, who was naked from the waist up and had a thick roll of gauze wrapped around his waist, glared at her, then smiled at Mo Tan, who was walking towards him, and said, "Actually, it's okay if you don't come. Let's take a break for these two days."
"I'm not worried about you guys." Mo Tan shrugged: "So come and take a look."
Salazar, whose arm was tightly clamped by the wooden board, shook his head, leaning on the wooden stake next to the fire and showing Mo Tan a sly smile: "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
"Hey!" Crabbe, who was almost wrapped in bandages, shouted dissatisfied: "Is there someone seriously injured here? Hei Fan, come and help!"
Futaba, who seemed to be online all night, stood next to Yinna and snorted: "Ignore that big guy, he's just pretending. Just now he tried to trick me into giving him a massage, saying it was to relax his muscles."
"Then what~" Mo Tan also relaxed completely at this moment, and asked with a smile: "You ignored him?"
"No." Yinna said with a sweet smile: "Sister Futaba asked Salazar to teach her some joint skills, and then helped Crabbe loosen his muscles and bones."
The strong orc man who couldn't continue acting turned over and sat up, sighing with a bitter look on his face: "You almost burned my head off with a fireball."
Everyone burst out laughing happily~
The most effective way to bring people closer together is through the experience of working together to overcome some huge crises...
"Have a good rest for two days. I have applied for a holiday for everyone." Ned said and went into the barracks and took out a small bag: "And this time we have made a small contribution, and there is money in it!"
"Hey! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!"
"Hei Fan hasn't come yet, and I also want to cover him up for a while..."
"Tsk, tsk, captain, you are not kind."
"Get out! How many times have you drank with me!"
"Ah~I'm waiting for Hei Fan to come back~~It's so romantic~"
"Yinna, believe it or not, I can hit you even though I'm injured!"
"Sister Futaba, save me!"
"No, don't you think the captain is cute when he is shy..."
"That's too much, you guys!!"
…
Somewhere on the edge of the Fire Fang territory not far from Dieyan City
"Lord Karon! We can prepare to retreat. The chief said that we must bring that bastard back as soon as possible!"
"What's the hurry..." The orc officer who was responsible for guarding and escorting a certain fugitive looked up at the starry sky and said softly: "I have to wait for that guy to come over. He will definitely come. I can feel it, within the next few days.
, soon, soon..."
The heavy fanged battle ax crashed to the ground, and the blood-red eyes were filled with resentment and hatred...
"Only blood...can wash away..."
The thunderous war cry exploded, almost shattering the eardrums of the messenger guard.
"humiliation!!"
