Chapter 12 Secret Meeting in Tavern
It was not until a few people finished their food that the mayor and the guard captain did not return. The old man's face was filled with deep worries. Although the captain was straight, there was no smile on his face.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Loken asked loudly while picking his teeth.
The old mayor reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Yes, although there are a few zombies wandering outside the city, they do not pose any threat for the time being."
"Then don't be frowning." Loken said as he stood up and patted the mayor's shoulder, and walked out with burps carelessly. Several of his subordinates also stood up and followed him out. Yi Xuan was the last to get up and looked back when he went out. The mayor Dika and the guard captain were frowning and whispering something. It seemed that they were more worried about the situation in front of him than these mercenaries.
In any case, in the next two days, zombies continued to gather around the town, but these zombies seemed like headless flies, just wandering around the town and did not take any offensive measures. The mayor and the guard captain seemed very nervous about this situation, and increased the guards and shifts to defend the city, but because they were afraid that the other party would ambush outside the city, they did not dare to go out of the city to kill monsters in the end.
In this way, the mercenary group members would no longer have the place to use their skills. They swayed around the town every day, and Yi Xuan was happy to be idle. Taking advantage of this time, they began to collect various information constantly. First, Yi Xuan walked around the town, trying to find one or two familiar NPs, but it was futile after a while. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the town, most of them had already evacuated, and even the famous NPC Yi Xuan could not find any trace.
Not only the townsmen, Yi Xuan found that some shops and the NPCl in the blacksmith shop were missing. It seemed that the town could not function normally. If the Knights of Light were out of the way three days later, even if the people from the dark camp did not attack the city, the people in the city would not live long.
After visiting the town, Yi Xuan, who had nothing to find, began to develop the only little resources and established a good relationship with a few people from the Falcon Mercenary Group. These men lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, so they also advocated martial arts. Since Yi Xuan was a hero who killed the Death Knight, they naturally respected Yi Xuan. After a day or two, Yi Xuan also learned a lot of information about the world from them, but this information was relatively scattered, and basically it was analyzed through the previous task process that they usually talked about when talking about the mountains. Therefore, it was not very systematic. In addition, these mercenaries had limited knowledge, and it sounded that their activity map was not very big, so if you want to know more, you might have to learn from other channels in the future.
According to the existing information, Yi Xuan can be sure that this world is neither World of Warcraft nor Diablo. According to the events, characters and locations of the incidents they mentioned, Yi Xuan has already thought of several different games, but it seems that they do not account for a large proportion.
Therefore, it seems that this should be a world reorganized by various games. This is in line with the character of the Death Arcade Hall. Their first floor game consoles also have all kinds, ranging from simple shooting, practical to racing, and complex to computer games. They are almost all-encompassing. Although Yi Xuan has always been a simple game, he knows some other games every day. Therefore, he guessed that the second floor should be a collection of various computer games. As for other game elements, I guess he will encounter more and more in the future.
Since this game cannot be treated as a game, some of the game knowledge Yi Xuan remembered before may not make sense here, so Yi Xuan feels that it is better not to be too preconceived.
However, although there are many game elements, the division of the gangs in this world is very simple. Yi Xuan has already experienced it before. One is the Guangming Camp, which represents justice. The corresponding one is the Dark Camp. They each have many heroes in different games. These mercenaries have not seen much, but the Baron Rivendell that Yi Xuan met before is considered a big H6 in this place.
These two camps are not only different names, but their relationship is simply incompatible. Although the Light Camp believes that the people in the Dark Camp are evil, the Dark Camp also denounces the people in the Light Camp for being hypocritical. Because of the contradiction between the ideas and the attributes, the two sides have been fighting each other all year round, which is similar to the battle between the World of Warcraft Alliance and the Horde, but the darkness and light here are more obvious.
The neutral camp is a product derived from the two camps' long-term battles. Most of the people in these neutral camps are civilians or people with no extreme beliefs. They advocate freedom, but later some speculators appeared, such as the Falcon mercenaries whom Yi Xuan followed, who took on some small tasks from the two factions and earned rewards. Because there is no gang or belief, it will help them, no matter whether it is light or dark, there is no moral burden for them.
In this way, the neutral camp gradually grew up and became the third force in the world. However, the neutral camp was sandwiched between the two and its strength was relatively weaker.
Light and darkness are the main contradictions in this world, and their attitudes towards the neutral camp are relatively ambiguous. Moreover, due to balance, neither the light camp nor the dark camp dares to push the neutral camp to the opposite side. Therefore, although the neutral camp is not strong and has not formed a scale, it can still maintain independence and autonomy.
However, it is just independent. Because the people in the neutral camp do not have unified leadership and do their own affairs, it is a bit difficult to develop their territory strength like the two major camps of Light and Darkness. After Yi Xuan learned this information, he gradually regretted his choice. It seems that this so-called neutral camp is actually the meaning of Shanyu. Although he joined a so-called mercenary group, Yi Xuan had already understood after getting along for a few days. These people had no strength at all, but were just relying on their cleverness to survive. He had known that he should have taken two tasks in time.
While chatting with the mercenary group, Yi Xuan also seized every opportunity to create opportunities to contact Deka Kane. As a famous NP and the only sage here, he should know much more information than those of the mercenary team, right?
Unfortunately, although Deka Kane was quite polite to him, this kind of politeness was only maintained in basic etiquette, and it was mostly because he had a desire to be in a relationship with the mercenary team. Behind the politeness was a cautious and cautious approach. If Yi Xuan had been trapped with him for two days, the old man didn't say anything about the extra things. Obviously, because of the camp, the old man didn't trust Yi Xuan very much, which made Yi Xuan feel even more frustrated. He thought in his heart that if he had chosen the Light Camp, his treatment would have been completely different.
Yi Xuan was busy, and two days had passed without realizing it. Their mission was to guard the city for three days. Now it seemed that there was another day that the mission was completed so easily and happily, but Yi Xuan was not very relaxed because he knew that it was likely to be the tranquility before the storm.
Although Tristram strengthened the guards and the guards seemed very nervous, they had been calm outside the city for the past two days, but the number of undead outside the city was gathering more and more. There were three or two kittens at the beginning, and gradually grew to hundreds.
When Yi Xuan was fine, he also went up to the city wall and found that those who appeared were basically low-level undead, skeletons, zombies, etc., swaying aimlessly outside the city.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Yi Xuan for killing the Death Knight before entering the city. Without the leadership of a senior figure, these undead did not know how to launch an attack, so at least the town is safe for the time being.
However, so many people have become a hidden danger. Yi Xuan feels that people in the dark camp should not be so easy to let go. A more fierce battle is likely to start in the next two days. If you want to mobilize these undead spirits, it is probably the other party who will send other leaders here, is it another Death Knight? Or is Rivendell coming in person?
"Don't worry, these things can't cause any storm." Luo Ken's thick voice suddenly rang behind Yi Xuan, scaring Yi Xuan. Because he was paying close attention to the zombies below, Yi Xuan did not notice that anyone came behind him.
Looking back, Loken squinted his eyes and was full of zombies under the city with interest. This is rare. In the past two days, the people guarding the city in the mercenary team basically assigned the seven or eight public-faced NPs, and Loken, Locke and others had no mission to defend the city. In the past two days, they were basically in a state of full sleep and full sleep. I don’t know why they suddenly became so active today and came up to the city wall. Is it because of a discovery of conscience?
Although Loken said that the undead below was not afraid, the residents in the city did not seem to think so. The atmosphere in the entire small town became more and more depressing, and the residents in the city all looked worried.
Not only these residents, Yi Xuan also began to instinctively feel the approaching of danger, because this world is different from the world he lives in. Everything has infinite possibilities in the places where he lives. Take the current siege for example. It may happen to him, and it may also change due to the influence of some things.
But this is the game world, and everything happens and develops according to certain rules. Since they are receiving tasks that they are going to defend for three days, it is normal that they can't let them spend these three days safely. Although Yi Xuan accidentally killed the Death Knight, the people in the Dark Camp will definitely take other measures.
And generally speaking, the defensive tasks similar to the current situation in the game cannot be smooth sailing. Although everything has been calm these two days, the enemy may launch a strong attack at the last moment. And even if the dark camp no longer attacks, whether to turn against Tristrim in three days is a question. He is always a little worried about Loken. Although he looks big and thick on the surface, his occasionally clever cleverness and treacherous appearance still left a deep impression on Yi Xuan. Therefore, he has always been not very relieved of the opponent, especially the expression of Loken on the wall today. It seems that he is not worried about the siege at all, and he even has a little confidence. With his understanding of Loken's strength, the opponent should not have such confidence.
As the sun rose into the sky on the third day, Yi Xuan's heart became tense, and how things would develop depends on today.
The day was still calm and the sky gradually darkened. After a few more hours, the three-day city defense mission was over. Yi Xuan felt a little relieved after a day and came to the only tavern in the town.
After arriving at the tavern, I found that the Falcon Mercenary Group had already been here. When I saw Yi Xuan coming in, Loken greeted him with a smile: "Hey, I came here so late, aren't you afraid that there would be no supper?"
As we spoke, dinner was served, and everyone was different. In front of us was a huge clay pot with pig legs sticking out inside, and there was thick broth inside.
"Guys, today is the last day, and the task is about to be completed. Everyone should have a hard meal. I'm afraid something will happen tomorrow." Loken said as he reached out to grab the pig's legs, and started to bite it, and his face was rubbed with lard.
Archer Shamiya was much more gentle than that. She cut a piece of pork from the basin in front of her and put it on her plate. She slapped his red nose and asked, "Boss, do you mean?"
Loken chewing the flesh in his mouth, bent over, and lowered his voice: "Once the task is handed over tomorrow, our employment relationship with the Light Camp will be completed, and we can continue with other tasks..." Loken said as he said that.
Yi Xuan's heart trembled. The things he was worried about were indeed coming. Yi Xuan did not take food from the basin, but asked with some concern: "Other missions? Does it mean 'Drug of Tristrime, that mission?"
"But there are quite a few people in the city, and we only have a dozen of us. Can we do it?" The archer immediately became nervous when he heard this conversation. He was afraid of fighting against the undead, but fighting against these guards in turn was also worrying.
Yi Xuan nodded immediately, obviously agreeing with the archer's opinion.
However, Loken said indifferently: "Hehe, don't worry about this. You have seen all the militiamen. They are all new recruits and have no combat power at all. And even if there are other accidents, we are not afraid, because we have other help." As he said this, Loken bit the pig's leg hard, looking inexplicably proud.
"Other help? What is that?" Yi Xuan frowned. Loken's help made him a little disgusted. Although it was a game and interests were paramount, Loken's naked speculation still made him feel a little disgusted.
"Roger, let's talk." Loken greeted the small thief and began to concentrate on gnawing on his pig's legs.
Yi Xuan immediately turned his attention to Roger. When Loken mentioned it, he remembered that he had not seen this little thief in the past two days. Originally, Yi Xuan thought he was going to participate in the city guard mission, but now it seems that he didn't know what he had conspired with Loken.
Rogge is much more cautious than Loken and dares not speak loudly. He looks around with a mysterious look, confirming that the tavern owner is preparing a meal behind him, and then he whispered to the people opposite him: "I quietly left the city yesterday."
"Get out of the city?" Yi Xuan said in a daze, thinking that the guards were so strict that although they were mainly aimed at the dead outside, it was not easy to go out without knowing it.
The thief suddenly felt a little proud when he saw Yi Xuan's strange appearance and said with a smile: "It's not difficult for me to leave the city." Yi Xuan also suddenly realized in his heart that since he was a thief, he must have the ability to sneak.
Therefore, Yi Xuan stopped talking and continued to listen to the thief saying: "Outside the city, I met a necromancer who was sent by the Dead Council to replace the Dead Destruction Plan. According to him, there are more than 200 zombies outside the city. As long as he gives orders, these undead will immediately turn into a state of rampage. As long as we can find an opportunity to open the city gate tomorrow, the undead army will rush in and destroy the entire Tristrime."
