Chapter 126 Escorting our "weak" NPC
It's a long journey.

Since following the 'fox hunter' Miram on the road to Leon Territory, the 60 undead have gradually become listless after the excitement of the previous two days.

They are looking forward to the emergence of new game content and are eager to escape from the terrible situation where they can't do anything. The long journey is wearing away their patience bit by bit.

During this journey, the 'fox hunter' Milam gradually came to understand the undead. She knew that the undead would disappear out of thin air, but would reappear after a period of time.

They don't seem to need sleep, or they disappear when they sleep.

The restless wind blew along the high slope from the front, and the foul smell it brought made all the undead people nervous. Whenever this smell appeared, it was the time for the Lizardmen to appear.

Miram quickly took off the two crossbows. Her fighting instinct made her point the arrows in the direction they should be aimed at at the first moment, and she gently pulled the trigger.

Puff, the stench is even stronger.

The cunning lizardmen hiding in the dark jumped out. They were huge, two heads taller than Miram, and were completely upright lizards with red tongues constantly sweeping outside their mouths.

The lizardman who jumped out first was hit in the shoulder by a tricky arrow. Milam's archery skills were amazing, and she was able to capture the enemy's weakness in the first time.

The lizard man leaped up, aiming directly at Miram.

She moved her body backward quickly, pushing off the ground with her long legs, making Milam look as if she was being pulled backward by an invisible rope.

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard, first a "boom" and then a "pop". The lizard's tail, which looked thicker than its body, whipped the air and the ground.

The most delicious piece of meat is hidden in the tail!
The strong wind caused by the heavy object hitting the ground blew towards Miram, brushing the hair on her forehead, making her feel itchy. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken care of her hair for a while, and it somewhat blocked her vision.

But long hair can also hide scars.

The lizardman failed to pounce on her and was in a bad mood, but he quickly changed his attack method. He rushed towards Miram, bent over, seemingly on all fours, but actually with his front limbs in the air. As he ran, his long tail swung wildly, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.

It was like a big rock flying close to the ground.

Miram opened his mouth and swallowed the stench and fierce wind, adjusted his state, and ran forward as the opponent approached.

Getting closer, touching... She stepped on the lizard man's head, and then her body flew into the air.

It didn't look like a collision, but more like the lizard man deliberately sent his head over as a stepping stone, just to make it easier for Miram to step and jump higher.

She leaped into the air, adjusting herself in midair, upside down.

Two crossbows were already pointed at the lizardmen.

puff!puff!
Two arrows with special effects pierced the lizardman's eyes and pierced his chin. His flight was suddenly interrupted.

Boom! Another sound. Maybe because it looks like stone, it makes a huge noise every time it moves.

The lizard man fell to the ground.

Milam landed lightly, her mood calm. For her, this was just a battle that did not interest her at all. Her fighting style was relaxed and agile, and she had never been defeated.

The remaining undead surrounded them, but the fate that awaited them would not change in the slightest.

The arrows slaughtered the Lizardmen easily. Milam was like a butterfly flying on the battlefield, free and elegant.

The undead people cheered and rushed forward.

Tasting the madness of the undead... She had expected this.

And she discovered that the undead were very obsessed with "killing".

Milam cares a lot about who kills his prey in the end, as it is the hunter's honor.

Listening to them complain like “I didn’t get any kills again”, Milam always feels very good.

Finally, Leon received it.

The towering city walls stood before the undead like a cliff. Passing through the gate that was large enough to accommodate several ox carts passing side by side, the undead could not help but sigh.

"A bit rubbish..."

It's true that hearing about someone is worse than seeing them in person.

The dirt road, the low slope, and everywhere there were pits of manure or mud mixed together that you couldn't tell.

There are not many houses along the road, and most people live in tents.

The pedestrians coming and going were divided into different levels.

The undead people who had high expectations started to regret after entering the Leon Territory.

This place is indeed better than Persimmon Town, because Persimmon Town looks like a refugee camp, where a group of doomsday residents who have no food to eat and no bottom line use all kinds of tricks to take advantage.

The NPCs are rejecting the undead, and the undead are also rejecting these NPCs who have no bottom line.

No matter how dirty I play, I still want to make friends with honest people.

This is why Star Dragon Outpost can retain the undead and why Lind's reputation among the player community ranks among the top five.

Top ten: first, Miss Miko, second, Miss Brittany, third... He is also the only male NPC who can enter the top ten, which is enough to show the value of Lind himself.

They thought they could see the real magical world by entering Leon Territory, but they found out that they were wrong.

An imaginary medieval magic world: chatting in the tavern, playing cards, teaming up to kill monsters, watching the funny dwarf performances, and exchanging a few words with the beautiful NPCs.

The real medieval magic world: rickety dying people, infectious diseases, mutated bodies, and people are divided into different classes.

Normal people from a harmonious society will never accept that people are divided into different classes. It would be very uncomfortable to see them. What era are we in now and they are still playing with feudalism?

So when they saw the interior of Leon City, their first thought was... Star Dragon Outpost was more suitable.

In any case, they successfully joined the Leon Territory.

Miram put in a lot of effort in this. She explained the situation of the undead in detail to the great Lord Leon, which attracted Lord Leon's high attention.

"Are we suddenly transformed into patrol soldiers?" Sweet Mushroom put on a set of leather armor and a leather hat. The sudden distribution of equipment made him feel like tears welling up in his eyes.

The undead next to him had the same reaction.

So this is what it feels like to join the main city. So happy! Newbies get free equipment!
"Wait, what's the reward for our patrol mission?"

60 Undeads suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was the gameplay still so vague? Could it be that the game mode of Star Dragon Outpost had not been updated yet? But since there was a mission, let's do it.

Spread out patrols.

Sweet Mushroom suddenly saw a man in leather boots kicking someone, and a skinny and hunchbacked woman used her body to protect the child under her.

The muddy leather boots stepped on the woman, leaving wet and smelly footprints on her already tattered cotton coat.

Here comes the mission!

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Sweet Mushroom rushed over, and seeing that his shouting was useless, he kicked him: "Fuck you, are you fucking deaf?"

The man got up, turned around and ran without saying a word.

"Are you okay?" Sweet Mushroom looked at the woman, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The woman didn't dare to talk to him, she just got up and ran away with the child in her arms.

"Fuck, why is this game so frustrating!" Sweet Mushroom cursed in his heart.

The patrol continued, and the arrival of the undead did improve the atmosphere in Leon County, and there were indeed fewer fights on the streets.

But when the undead people gathered together, a question arose.

"How long do we have to wait?"

"When will the mission be issued?"

“When will the reward be given?”

With this question in mind, the undead people found the leader in charge of defending the city.

"Working for Lord Leon is your obligation when you are granted asylum! There are so many people who want to do this job but can't, and you still want a reward?"

Why do we need rewards when we are given food and work to do? This is already a great blessing from heaven, okay?

The other party thinks that it is unreasonable for immortals to exist.

The undead also felt that Lord Leon was unreasonable.

They don't even give us a chance to do cyber corvée! Look at those Celestial Dragons at Star Dragon Outpost, they only need a broom to play Quidditch, and we're still here as city management officers.

Sweet mushrooms are off duty.

He thought it was ridiculous. As an office worker, he thought he could put on the helmet to play games and sleep after get off work, killing two birds with one stone. But who knew that he would still be working after putting on the helmet.

It's fine if I just go to work, the life of a worker is so cheap, but you don't even give me a reward. What's the difference between this and my boss asking me to work overtime but not paying me overtime pay?

It’s all for the good of the territory/company, so be dedicated.

If he could defeat them, he would have killed every NPC here.

Fortunately, there was a shift change time, so Sweet Mushroom could stroll around. He guessed that the game should have a hidden plot, which would allow him to obtain the magic potion to complete the upgrade.

Sweet Mushroom took a stroll and found that the city of Leon was clearly divided into different classes. The outermost class was the lowest class, and people were no different from feces.

In the middle are ordinary residents, such as patrolling soldiers, merchants, and so on, all of whom are active here. It really feels like a little bit of a magical world, and people's expressions are relatively normal.

The innermost part is Lord Leon's private territory, and Sweet Mushroom is not allowed to enter.

"Brother, what's in there?" He approached a soldier. They were all dressed the same, so it was not difficult to start a conversation. "I just got here, and you can't let me in."

"Only those who are trusted by Lord Leon can enter." The soldier raised his chin with some pride.

"That's right, that's right." Sweet Mushroom rubbed his hands: "Can you talk to your brother? I'll treat you to a meal."

"Eat?" The soldier's eyes lit up. "I do know what's going on inside, but it's just this meal..."

"No big deal!" Sweet Mushroom patted his chest. He had no money anyway, so he was just talking nonsense.

"Inside is Lord Leon's private residence, but it's more than that." The soldier pulled Sweet Mushroom aside, laughing secretly at his stupidity. He wanted to treat himself to a meal for something that anyone knew.

"The residences of the nine lords are also inside. In addition, there are 9 knights and various shops, including potion shops, armor shops, blacksmith shops, etc. They all serve Lord Leon."

"So it's inside!" Sweet Mushroom was delighted.

"That meal" the soldier came over and rubbed his hands.

"Next time, next time for sure!"

Sweet Mushroom, who was thinking about how to sneak in, trotted away, leaving the soldier standing there cursing.

……

"A new mission?" Sister Li Wansui held the lion badge and asked her beloved Baisi beside her, "Do you want to take it?"

[Mission: There is a strong sense of uneasiness coming from the west. Perhaps it is the cry of the Great Rift Valley disaster, or the strange sound in the deep sea. Escort a team to investigate near the western harbor village. Try to avoid fighting, ensure the safety of the team members, and find out the problem; Limited number of people: 20; Reward: 10 points]

The 10-point reward is not something many undead people are interested in.

However, when the Harbor Village was mentioned, some people realized that it was one of the novice villages. It was said that it had been incorporated into the NPC of Leon County, but it had not yet set out for Leon County.

Is it possible that a new siege is about to begin?
But the mission description doesn't seem like it.

Then there is only one other possibility, there must be a new plot. Just looking at the mission description, you can tell that it will be a big one.

The 20 undeads were quickly gathered, and it was quite interesting for them to go to the Harbor Village. I have already dressed up like a god, so it’s not too much to show off in front of you.

The "weak" NPCs that need protection from the undead also appear.

There are four people in total: 'Frost Archer' Lance, 'Star Dragon Sentinel Knight' Reed, Leo, and 'Mad Secret Messenger' Renzo.

For some reason, when the undead looked at this weak team that needed protection, they had a very strong and strange feeling in their hearts.

Who protects whom?
