50. Chapter 50 blood debt must be paid in blood
Unaware of the gaze behind him, when he walked out of the monastery, Roddy's mind almost immediately sorted out the emotions about Sally, like a machine without any feelings. In a few minutes, only his mind would have plans for future careers.
I habitually glanced at the taskbar, and the task chain "The Fallen of Priest Nilda" was opened. The prompt above is "Try to find clues where you pick up the ring."
Roddy closed it casually and did not intend to continue to do this task - because the level span of this task chain is extremely large, and the opening conditions are only 1 level, but in the third step, you must reach level 10 or above, and in the seventh step, you need to have a team of 10 people. The last step even requires players to break through to level 30 of the advanced profession before completing it. Although the harvest is extremely abundant and even enough to increase the reputation of the "Rose Cross" temple to "reverence", because they can only be used in "priest" professions, he does not want to do such tasks without any profit.
I looked at the character's status. Because the final level of the task itself is very high, I rewarded a lot of experience points when opening this task chain. Even the starting step with the lowest reward is given 4,000 experience points.
Including the task of "Saving the Duke's Daughter Sally" shown before, Roddy found that he had the qualification to jump to two levels directly. He did not hesitate and directly selected the upgrade button to upgrade to level 5, leaving the experience of upgrading to level 6 as insurance, and then took out the box given to him by Bishop Benjamin and opened it with a "click".
There is a very simple necklace in the box, and the pendant is the most commonly used symbol of the "Rose Cross" sect - the Holy Triangle.
Exquisite Holy Triangle Pendant
Excellent necklace
Part: Neck
+2 Strength
Equipment: The reputation of the "Rose Cross Temple" has been increased to "friendly".
"God's eyes are always on the world."
A necklace that is better than nothing, Roddy thought about it and replaced the "mysterious necklace" - attributes, secondly, it was unexpected for Roddy to improve his reputation to "friendly". The temple of "Rose Cross" is abundant in supplies, but it is not sold to the public in normal times. Only people with reputation above "friendly" can buy some affordable and high-quality things in the military office of this religious force. Roddy happened to need to change his arms, and this necklace gave him a better choice.
"Francis Armament Depot. Here."
Looking up to confirm the direction, Roddy stepped towards the location of the equipment for sale in the "Sanctuary" he remembered. However, when he was about to close the equipment bar, he suddenly saw the ring on his fingers that was found in the Cave of Kemara Beast - because he was promoted to level 5, the attributes of the ring itself were activated.
However, Roddy's attributes have soared because of the Safari suit. The attribute bonus provided by the ring is not enough, but he still instinctively glanced at the task prompts that were activated because of the level standard:
"You gently wiped the ring and found a line of light golden words on it: hlukji'smier."
Just such a simple sentence made Roddy raise his eyebrows. As a technical otak, he is not only proficient in human Bolinga, but also has some knowledge in other languages, because this background knowledge is the key to mastering a game, especially when facing tasks, you can quickly find a clue. And now, it is obviously time for Roddy to bring this knowledge into use.
Roddy could not confirm the meaning of this line of handwriting, but he could see that this was a text belonging to the elves. However, elves were divided into wood elves, dark elves, high elves, etc. He could only see from the spelling that this was a spelling method belonging to the wood elves, and he recognized that the meaning of one of the words was "light".
Light? The wood elves believe in a primitive god who is half human and half deer. In a sense, it has some connection with the "Druid" sect. The wood elves have small groups, and there are few clergymen and law vassers. However, there is a kind of sacrifice that seems to be related to "light" - it is a profession that players cannot choose: "Guardian of Light".
Roddy only heard about this profession. It seemed that the other party's function was to fight against demons and undeads or something. It sounded similar to paladins in human religions, but it existed earlier and almost disappeared later. Only a few NPCs were left to survive in the world, and few people saw it.
"Ha... It seems that the elves and the undead have a good holiday."
Roddy sighed, but also found something wrong with the ring. It is logical that any task should have verbal prompts on the "task content", such as the "Nilda Priest's Fallen" before, which would prompt where to go to continue to look for clues. However, this ring has no similar text description at all. Roddy thought about it, glanced around, flashed into an empty alley, raised her fist and pointed the ring forward, and said, "hlukji'smier!"
Nothing happened.
"It seems not a magic prop."
Roddy murmured to himself and put down his hand and took steps to leave here, but after taking a few steps, he felt something was wrong, because the reflections on the walls on both sides of the light seemed to have changed slightly - Roddy, who was extremely vigilant, concentrated on thinking for a moment, then slowly raised his palm, and after shaking it a few times, he finally understood what the problem was.
It turned out that the ring was emitting light.
Because the sun was strong at this moment, Roddy did not notice any change before, and it was not until he walked into the dark that the uniqueness of the ring was highlighted.
"Lighting ring? What is this?"
Shaking the "flashlight" in his hand, Roddy, who was helpless, read the elf words on the ring again, and the light disappeared. He was a little confused about the function of the ring, but he had no idea for a moment. So he walked out of the alley while thinking and headed towards the Frans Military Guard.
Roddy was about to buy enough military supplies and left the main city, because the orcs on the border were still his main source of experience now. With new equipment and weapons and higher levels, Roddy would definitely let the orc bastards understand what the real "harassment tactic" is.
...
April 588 of the Elon calendar should be counted as a turning point in the history of the Kingdom of Karen.
Francis's siege and killing against Sally ended in a complete failure this month. His original plan was completely disrupted. The impact not only made the count feel frustrated, but in a sense, it also made the witch doctor Sarota who had secretly connected to him very depressed.
Let your vision look further northwest from the village on the edge of the Kingdom of Nolan Village - fly over the endless grassland and cross hundreds of kilometers... When the tent community sprouts like mushrooms after a rain appeared in your vision, you entered the territory of the Orc Kingdom.
The sheep and cattle stroll on the meadows, and the grazing orcs occasionally sing rough songs. Because of poverty, most of them wore simple animal skins, with rough skins and sad faces - and this is also a portrayal of the entire orc kingdom.
Nomads are not completely "poor". If they exchange their cattle and sheep for gold coins in the human kingdom, I am afraid that every herder will live much better than the farmers in the Karen Kingdom. But after all, it is very cruel... The hostility to the human kingdom and the isolation of the Tasman undead in the south make these herders unchanged, just like guarding the mountains of gold and silver without spending. The high-priced cattle and sheep can only be used to keep them for the winter themselves.
A kingdom composed of 90% grassland and 10% desert, when it comes to living conditions, it is much more difficult than the Karen Kingdom.
The ruling structure is loose, and the kingdom is composed of tribes ruled by more than a dozen chiefs, and there is far from being "unity". Among them, "Rohar's Hammer" should be regarded as a tribe in the mid-range power of the entire orc kingdom.
At this time, in a village of Rohal's Hammer, some **** were being brought up by enduring pain in a huge tent.
There was blue and white smoke in the air, and some strange fragrance of medicine could be smelled at the tip of his nose. The injured orc was lying on the bed covered with animal skins, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain. But after all, there was no anesthetic in this era, and he could not bear it.
The orc was as strong as a bear, and it could even be said to be a big guy in the clan, but his usual majestic appearance seemed extremely depressed at this time - beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and his green face was twisted because of pain.
A wound that slashed across the back was exposed to the air, and the bones were visible. It seemed that because it had been delayed for too long, it was full of traces of ulceration and pus. However, most of the rotten meat was cleaned up by a knife, and herbs were applied, and then tightened with a bandage.
Coarse hemp bandages are considered valuable items in the orc kingdom. It can be seen that he is highly valued at this time.
"Okay, Xhosa."
A faint voice sounded beside me, appearing peaceful and powerful.
The orc named Xhosa immediately stood up and knelt down on the ground regardless of the pain, and whispered: "Thanks to Lord Sarota, Xhosa swears to follow your footsteps to the death!"
This kind of discourse seems somewhat flattering or artificial in the human kingdom, but it is extremely important in the mouths of orcs.
Sarota, who is the "chief witch doctor" of the tribe, reached out and pulled him up, let the other party sit on the wooden chair beside him, and asked in that calm tone: "Then...Xosa, tell me in detail what you encountered."
"Yes! Lord Sarota, we..."
The orc, who was sitting in a well-positioned manner, exhaled and began to narrate his experience in a low voice.
Xhosa, who was injured on his back, returned to the village yesterday. He fainted at the entrance of the village, and the wound on his body was severely purified, leaving almost half his life. The orc who spent nearly a month traveling through the grassland and finally hiking back to the village ate almost everything he could eat along the way...weeds, rabbits, dead rats, in short, he hiked through the grassland hundreds of kilometers just to tell the witch doctor about bad news.
The intention to establish outposts in the Kingdom of Karen has been noticed by humans.
And the outpost where Khosa is located has suffered an unprecedented heavy blow!
Combined with the news that the raiding force had damaged ten wolf cavalry some time ago, the witch doctor who already had a high status in Rohal's Hammer, clenched the bone dice in his hand slightly after listening to Xhosa's report, squinted his eyes, and sighed as if he was talking to himself:
Chapter completed!
