Chapter 412: Loyal Immortal
"What do you mean?"
Laleda was a little confused when he received the invitation. As one of the top-ranked guilds in the game, the combat effectiveness of the undead around him was also very good. Basically, they all had a set of graduated abyss suits, which could be considered one of the main combat forces.
Although there were some embarrassing situations due to the previous operations, it was just a waste of time. He has money and people who are willing to work hard, so he can catch up.
It is still the largest caravan currently developed. The undead people of the Black Swamp Kingdom are the best trading partners. Selling some equipment, potions, etc. can cause them to scramble for them.
He looked at the other dozen or so undead who were also invited. They were also among the best in the Rand Kingdom. For example, Basalt Shield, My Ring Will Not Lose, Niao Niao's Place, etc., all had their own famous battle scenes and even their own operating tutorials.
Even if you are taught, you may not necessarily learn it, and yet you are respected as a big shot.
It's a big deal that I also feel a headache when I meet these people. It's nothing else. These people are not only lucky, but also very technical in operation and have a very high combat awareness. He is no match for them in a real fight.
"We were all invited by Prince Bloodless today. There is only one possibility. Our attributes or reputation have reached the conditions to activate the hidden plot."
"But that's not right." When Silkless Legs heard this discussion, he frowned, "If we were to ask who has the highest reputation in the entire Black Swamp Kingdom, it would definitely be Sydney's younger brother."
Everyone else, even the one who pulled the big one, had to nod in agreement.
The first person to catch a bandit and make him his subordinate in the Rand Kingdom was Sydney's younger brother. It was also Sydney's younger brother who engaged in pyramid schemes after coming to the Black Swamp Kingdom. This guy's strength is pretty good, but not top-tier. But in terms of reputation, no one can compare to Sydney's younger brother. He has become the "Leader of the Beggars' Gang" in the Black Swamp Kingdom.
"I don't know, we'll know when we go and see."
"It must be a hidden mission, but I don't know what it has to do with Thousand Faces City."
With strange thoughts in mind, the undead came to the tent of the Bloodless Prince. Since the Rand Kingdom had issued the main quest, they, as knights' squires, must listen carefully to the orders of their queen.
The tent housed more than a dozen undead beings, making it seem a bit crowded.
The Bloodless Prince felt his scalp tingling when he looked at the undead, especially when he saw the aura of the abyss emanating from their bodies.
"You are God's chosen ones, and this world needs your help."
Sure enough, here comes the plot!
First talk about values, and then use the moral kidnapping statement "If you don't save the world, the world will collapse", which is very consistent with the character that the immortal has given himself.
"But do you really think you should continue like this?"
"What do you mean?" someone asked.
Everyone looked over. Who loves white silk? Why is this guy wandering around here if he doesn't want to take pictures of the skirts of female NPCs? Seeing his serious expression and the broadcasting tone, you know he must be broadcasting live.
Ever since the live streaming function was enabled in the game, many people who work late at night or are casual players like to watch it. If you don't rush to catch up with levels and progress and keep a calm mind, the game will become very leisurely, and it is also a pleasure to watch others suffer in killing monsters.
Baisi, who had won the love of many fans with a video before, finally reached a new level in her career after the live broadcast function was opened.
Because of his favorite Baisi's popularity among the NPCs in the Rand Kingdom, he was able to obtain important information that was difficult for other bloggers to obtain, so naturally the number of his fans increased.
"Do you know that the old nobles in this world have gone completely crazy?" The Bloodless Prince said seriously, "They are dominated by crazy bloodlines, and they will do anything to achieve their goals."
"Killing the old nobles is our goal." The Bloodless Prince said, "Only by killing the old nobles can the world be stable."
Because of Lind's existence, the old nobles successfully regained the entire Rand Kingdom in the internal beta version, but it was different in other areas. The new nobles were the ones who remained rational. They hunted down the old nobles and eliminated the alienated and distorted old nobles in the fortresses and castles one by one.
So there is nothing wrong with the Bloodless Prince's thinking.
"What do you want us to do?"
"The Kingdom of Rand is now controlled by the old nobles. You can also come to the Black Swamp Kingdom. We will create a new era without the old nobles. Don't be bewitched by the old nobles!" The Bloodless Prince opened his arms and tried to invite.
The undead people looked at each other, then quietly sent messages to each other, and some even felt unhappy and directly created a temporary chat group.
"He wants to instigate us to rebel. Our Rand Kingdom just helped stabilize the situation in the Black Swamp Kingdom. Are the nobles so wicked?"
"Do you want to agree?"
"Let's see what chips he gives us."
"You'll betray me if I give you a bargaining chip?"
"I'm about to be promoted to an apprentice knight, and I won't betray you anyway!"
Are you kidding? You will be able to become a real noble lord in no time, and you will also get "coat of arms" rewards, weapon and armor rewards, etc. It took so long to accumulate experience points to level up. Only a fool would betray you.
"I think it's very likely that he's a double agent, but we must definitely reach a consensus."
Some people choose to be double agents, some choose to inform Lind directly. No matter which one, someone will be in trouble, so they must determine what to do next in order to share the reward.
"What can you give?"
The Bloodless Prince paused. His previous judgment was indeed correct. The undead had no concept of loyalty and they would serve whoever paid the highest price. It must be like this.
"The Black Swamp Kingdom possesses countless wealth," Prince Bloodless suddenly paused. He suddenly remembered that the group of people in front of him were about to take down the Black Swamp Kingdom, and only the Thousand Faces City was still struggling. Ordinary rewards might not be taken seriously by them.
"I can give you blessed weapons." He gritted his teeth. It was not easy for him to obtain blessed weapons.
"what?"
"Fuck, is this the same mission as before!" I caught Pikachu and realized what was happening.
Previously, the Kingdom of Rand launched a long-term mission, asking the undead to hand in various blessed weapons in exchange for a large amount of rewards.
But the undead had never seen that thing before. They only knew that Lind's weapon seemed to be a blessed weapon.
Someone posted in the forum that blessed weapons have stronger attribute bonuses than ordinary weapons and rarely have negative effects. The strength will be greatly improved after equipping, and the weapons also have the special attribute of not losing durability.
nice one!
But it's not enough.
"how much do you have?"
"What?" The Bloodless Prince thought he had misheard.
How many? Isn't one enough?
"One, it can bring the blessing of moonlight and heal any injury." Ostis was able to get to this point with the help of treasures.
Although the healing process is slow, it can heal everything and there will be no aftereffects as long as the time is long enough.
He was unwilling to let Ostis hand him over, and he also believed that the undead would not accept it. It didn't matter. This was just a topic. The key was what came next.
Wusimeitui reacted faster and said in the group chat: "I think there are two directions for this mission. One is to agree to him, and then we go back and kill Rania, the Red Knight, Tione... Linde."
With each name he called out, the undead man's expression changed slightly.
Rania is such a beautiful and noble queen. I wouldn't be angry even if she stepped on my face while wearing black stockings. How could I possibly hit her!
This is the final result. If you don’t believe me, change to white silk and continue stepping on it.
The Red Knight is a bit difficult to beat.
Tione...Nude of the Nuclear Explosion, is growing mushrooms.
Lind? I hit Lind?!
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
"For the second option, we pretend to agree and then report to Lind. I think the second option is the correct direction for the game to develop. Let Lind deal with the Bloodless Prince himself and take away the blessed weapon. Maybe we can unlock new equipment."
Everyone's eyes lit up. If that's the case, don't say hey, it's really possible!
If everyone present could get a weapon or equipment, and there was no uneven distribution of the spoils, it would not be impossible for them to counterattack Lind.
But the benefits given by the Bloodless Prince are not enough.
The benefits are not enough to make them give up the experience points they have spent half a year on, their status in the game, the houses they have purchased, the NPCs they support, the points they have not spent, etc.
Linde's deep bundling in various aspects has finally paid off at this moment.
The undead people, who seemed to have never communicated with each other, suddenly said in unison: "Yes!"
Ostis was stunned.
He did have some thoughts when he suggested that there were problems with the old nobles, but there was absolutely no problem with the overall direction. There had once been a very loyal old noble in his camp, but he went straight out of control after awakening his power.
This kind of situation has happened more than once, and almost no one, regardless of gender, age or status, is spared.
In Ostis's plan, it was not a one-day thing to persuade the undead to rebel. His plan was to first propose a goal, which would make the undead hesitate but unable to complete it, and then give them a simpler task. In layman's terms, it is called drawing a pie in the sky, learning without a teacher.
It's like a carrot tied in front of the undead, hanging them and forcing them to move forward step by step.
It is true that Ostis’ target is the old nobles, but what he really needs is to completely control the powerful undead army. As long as his own voice begins to appear in this army, they will soon all join his army.
What Ostis didn't expect was that the undead had no loyalty at all and agreed without even thinking.
The next words he wanted to say were completely choked in his throat.
Watching the undead leaving, Ostis was thinking.
"Are they lying to me? Impossible! But why did they agree so quickly?" As soon as he had a similar thought, he overturned his own assumption.
Just like the undead would investigate and study the people of the Black Swamp Kingdom, and then use that information to steal, defraud, engage in pyramid schemes, rob, etc. against them.
Ostis was also observing the undead, and he was no worse than the undead in collating information. He was very sure that the undead he invited did not get along with each other on a daily basis, and their relationship was very bad, and some of them would even fight each other directly.
Through several "missions", Ostis gradually discovered that the undead really had no loyalty at all and could easily betray anyone, including his friends.
As long as the price is high, you can even betray your teammates and sell them directly.
But the agreement was given too quickly, which made Ostis feel uneasy.
……
When Lind was chatting with the Crystal Mage, he received the message sent back by the Undead.
"The Bloodless Prince Ostis wants to kill me, and he's also planning to instigate a rebellion among the undead?"
Although both are the protagonists of this version, the gap between Ostis and William is too big.
As expected, the soldiers are responsible for bravery and fearlessness, while the commander is left with only his heart.
Lind admired the Bloodless Prince very much, but he did not appreciate his idea of wanting to kill him, just like he always told others that he did not want to live forever, but only wanted to retire when he was older.
In fact, he is willing to wait until he experiences the boredom of immortality before considering the pain of immortality. Once he reaches the legendary level, his lifespan will easily be thousands of years, so his next goal is to reach the legendary level.
If he wasn't afraid of death, if he didn't want to live longer, why would Linde do such a thankless job as an immortal nanny and show up so frequently to make his presence felt?
He just wanted to make the undead people realize that he was an important NPC and not to attack him easily.
Is it more respectful of the undead to have an NPC who is afraid of death or to have great ambitions and does not care about the length of his life? Obviously, it is the latter.
If Lind could die at his peak, he would successfully occupy a place in the hearts of the undead with his BE aesthetics.
Lind's response was simple. He asked the undead to capture Ostis, at least bring back his body, and hand over the so-called blessed weapon.
Crazy rewards for battle points!
In order to ensure that Ostis could be captured, he also passed the message to Wen and asked Wen to take charge of it. The expedition of the Black Swamp Kingdom was entirely handed over to Wen.
After Lind leaves this area, the NPCs under his command may hold on or continue to spread, but no matter what, they must learn to be an NPC who can bring positive emotional value to the undead.
Always remember that NPCs are in the service industry, so leave the hard work to the undead, unless you want to show your presence and make them feel that you are about to issue a task.
……
"Catch or bring back the body, isn't it just the body?"
A big one was holding a mission scroll. As the knight squires of the Kingdom of Rand and loyal undead warriors, they handed over important information, so they got a response.
There is a scroll with the seal of the Kingdom of Rand, and the exquisite quill pen writing is like a painting, with each square character being visually twisted.
If we don’t mention the convenience, the scrolls issued through a series of procedures make it easier for them to feel involved.
But when I think about taking on a dozen tasks in the future and having to stuff a dozen scrolls in my pocket, I feel upset.
Games don't have to be that realistic.
"He's too strong, one realm higher than us. We definitely can't defeat him without using our full strength, so let's just chop him to death."
"No, my Three No Sister is here, we don't have to do anything, let's just watch the CG."
"Who? Sanwumei?"
"Wen Raven."
Wen's way of thinking has always been simple. She doesn't like to use emotions. After determining a goal, she will take into account all the factors that can help achieve the goal. Nothing else matters.
So after getting Lind's news, Wen chose to kill the undead instead of letting them deal with him or taking action himself.
In Wen's eyes, Lind, who has eliminated a large crack, is her 100%. Ostis, who wants to kill Lind, is an enemy that must be eliminated.
In the past, Ostis controlled a strong force and was a hero himself, so he would be the main force against the Great Rift. But now that Wen and the undead have solved the Great Rift once, Ostis's power has become less important.
Ostis was waiting for the undead to give him an answer. He was very conflicted, but he had doubts about the undead's loyalty.
As the Bloodless Prince, Ostis possesses heroic strength. Even though he is not good at fighting, he is stronger than the heroic knights of the same level.
A terrifying pressure suddenly came from afar.
A figure wearing armor that looked familiar to him.
"The Song White Knights of Everfrost?" Ostis recognized the other party's armor style.
There are not many Sun Churches in the Kingdom of Black Swamp, but the Sun's Proof, as one of the Three Gods, is still very well-known.
The undead from before followed behind him.
The murderous aura was boiling.
what happened?
Wen, who has always used suicide attacks as his main fighting style, tiptoed and rushed forward quickly. His speed was so fast that even the immortals could not react.
The distance from her to Ostis was connected by a sharp and blinding light.
The sky brightened.
The undead around him subconsciously closed their eyes.
When the light faded, Wen had already begun to severely injure Ostis by injuring the enemy by a thousand and injuring himself by eight hundred.
"Puff!" Ostis vomited blood.
The immortal agreed so quickly and decisively, without any hesitation at all.
He didn't expect that he had miscalculated. This group of people were not without bottom line. Madness was just their deliberate disguise. They were all Lind's most loyal warriors!
But why did the undead who had joined your camp before also defect to your side? Isn’t your loyalty too random?
The sword flashed again, and Ostis hastily swung his sword to counterattack, trying to force Wen Raven back, but he didn't expect that Wen did not react to the sword stabbing at his heart, but instead accelerated the speed of his attack.
Fight!
The sword pierced Wen's heart, and Ostis breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had only lost a leg.
But... not dead!
Wen stepped back, pulled out the sword, and the wound healed quickly.
Her fierce attack came again, and Ostis had a limp in one leg. He quickly pulled out the necklace and the moonlight enveloped his body, but the healing speed was too slow.
The undead looked at Ostis who had fallen to the ground, completely unaware that he was the son of the Black Swamp Kingdom's version, and instead continued to comment on him.
"Oh my god, he feels so weak. Can we win if we just fight him?"
"Bullshit, this is a CG, a boss battle."
Wen pulled off Ostis's moonlight necklace, put it in his pocket, and turned around: "Attack Thousand Faces City!"
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, an undead man shouted: "Riven City is under siege by greenskins, what the hell! What should I do?"
