Chapter 290 Thomas: Huh?
A legendary feat, a limited epic feat, and a rare feat. The settlement rewards of these two tasks this time are quite rewarding!
The rare specialty "Disaster Breaker" gives a decent improvement to this level of expertise. The highlight is the limited epic specialty "Forbidden Observer" and the legendary specialty "Hunting God's Heir·Lost Seed"—— The former provides immunity to moderate status abnormalities, which is quite a bully; while the latter not only greatly improves the basic attributes, but also provides more authority slots, both of which are specialties that greatly increase Luo Xiu's strength!
Luo Xiu looked at the content on the panel happily, and after browsing it from beginning to end, he confirmed the settlement result.
In addition to the two mission rewards, Luo Xiu also opened his mailbox and received all the kill rewards.
In the previous battlefield, Luo Xiu also killed several "fourth-level destiny" extraordinary beings, and the kill reward of one of the [Ku Tu] warriors revealed a rare specialty.
[Steel Body (Rare): Your body is as tough as steel that has been tempered thousands of times. 】
【Your "Physique" attribute is increased by 6 points, your health is increased by an additional 10%, and the "physical damage" you receive is reduced by 10%. 】
[…]
A slightly improved specialty, Luo Xiu confirmed that it was resolved, and then closed the panel, carefully feeling the changes in his body after becoming stronger again.
He felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, and every muscle was stretching as much as possible, trying to greedily absorb the outside air; and his already surging spirituality became more abundant, and he felt tired from the previous battle. , and it was quickly swept away.
This is a wonderful feeling, as if you are in a good hot spring bath, which makes you linger.
While feeling the changes in his body, his attention was also focused on the wind and grass on the battlefield, searching for fish that had slipped through the net like a minesweeper.
There were indeed several groups of Dark Army soldiers who took advantage of the terrain to hide, but they were quickly discovered and captured by the side court knights who were cleaning the battlefield.
Besides them, Luo Xiu did not notice that there were also spiritual reactions from hostile "Triple Destiny" or above extraordinary people on the battlefield.
……
About an hour passed.
The preliminary statistics of the war have been completed. Lord Nelson, who was commanding the army, temporarily stepped down from his post and made a special trip to the city wall to pay homage to the church's "presiding officer"... No, Luo, who should be the "bishop" now. Repair to report statistical results.
"Greetings to you, Lord Luo Xiu." Nelson bowed to Luo Xiu, and then said:
"According to the instructions of Lord Baines, I am here to share the joyful results of the battle with you. .”
"We annihilated a total of 38,000 members of the Dark Army, captured more than 24,000 people, seized more than 20,000 weapons and supplies, and 130,000 gold coins."
"Among them, the obelisk The warlocks of the Academy also recovered a lot of extraordinary materials, including the demon dolls that were damaged by the 'Hidden Elder' Babron in the battle. The two Masters are ready to try to crack and restore them."
"Again. Thank you for your intervention, Lord Luo Xiu. Without the power of you and Lord Hubert, we would not have been able to achieve such a great victory."
"Sir Baines specifically stated that this capture would be impossible. Half of the weapons and supplies and the gold coins seized will belong to the church. This is the wish of the side court and Lord Baines’s gratitude to you.”
Half of the supplies and gold coins? Baines is quite generous this time... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
According to the usual practice, the side court, the church and the obelisk courtyard each take a quarter of the spoils, while the remaining quarter is used to increase the army's combat power and deal with various aftermath matters.
But this time... it may have something to do with his promotion to the "fifth destiny" and defeating the two enemy "saints" with Hubert. Baines gave him extra face.
"Yes, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded calmly.
Seeing Luo Xiu accept this "gift", Lord Nelson showed a look of joy on his face and said:
"Thank you again, Lord Luo Xiu. This time, Hong Maple The city should be at peace for a while.”
"I hope so." Luo Xiu responded to him lightly, and then said, "I noticed that the new 'refugees' who joined Red Maple City seemed to be unusually heroic in their battles - you can consider rewarding them. What, this is just my suggestion.”
“Yeah, indeed.” A look of approval appeared on Lord Nelson’s face, and he said, “I will discuss this matter with Mr. Baines. ."
......
After that, Lord Nelson said goodbye to Luo Xiu and returned to Baines.
The temporary sentry post that Luo Xiu took was quickly replaced by a dozen side court knights and warlocks from the Fangbei Academy, so Luo Xiu returned to the church first.
After returning, he quickly summoned the "deacons" of the church and asked each of them to lead the clergy to inform the players of the "Church Patrol" that they would award celebration rewards.
……
Evening.
When Thomas and several other "Church Patrol" players were participating in cleaning the battlefield to earn more commissions, a cleric approached them.
The cleric told them about the convening of the "priest" Rossiu Carlos, and Thomas's face flashed with excitement.
"You said that the officiant will come back to us...to hand out awards?" Thomas asked.
After the cleric opposite nodded in affirmation, Thomas put down the work of cleaning the battlefield and said to the "church patrol" next to him: "Let's go back first - our own rewards are definitely better than those hired by the army. The rewards are more delicious, and the work here is almost done.”
The players around him nodded in agreement, and Thomas ended his work and went to the church’s special commission office to receive one. After receiving the commission of two silver coins issued by the mansion, he followed the clergy back to the church.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Thomas returned to the church, where most of the church patrols had gathered.
When choosing a job at that time, about 900 players chose to become "Church Patrollers", and this time the church only summoned them specifically, and the scale was compared to the first "refugee" entry. The city will be much smaller.
Most of the players have not yet gone offline at this time. They came here as soon as they were informed by the clergy, full of expectations for what kind of rewards the church will give out.
In the expectant eyes of more than 800 players who were still online, the leader of the church, Luo Xiu Carlos, finally appeared.
This time, he did not ride the "Golden Pegasus" like when he first met. Instead, he suddenly emerged from the center of the altar and looked around with a smile.
——He has been waiting here for a long time!
Only under the influence of the specialty "Hidden Mist", players who have not yet reached the extraordinary level cannot detect his aura at all!
Looking at the surprised, surprised, and envious expressions on the faces of the players below, Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"This is the second time we have gathered here - coming from afar. The guests are also my new colleagues.”
“I am very sad that you encountered such a tragic disaster on your first day here.”
"But I am equally excited - you have shown enough courage and belief to survive such a disaster and to be reunited like now!"
"The 'Death God's Heir' has been Being purified, it was you who protected the people of the city from the undead summoned by Him; when the Dark Army's 'Executioner' led the invasion, it was you who were at the forefront and withstood the greatest pressure!"
"You may have some secrets, but I now believe that you have unlimited potential."
"You are the best gift that Zhurixuxu gave me...my new comrades."
"On behalf of the church and also on behalf of Red Maple City, I welcome you once again and welcome your joining."
After a pause, Luo Xiu continued:
"Now, as agreed before, I will reward you and assign you a new residence."
-Rewards and shelter! Thomas keenly captured these two keywords, and the excitement on his face became increasingly apparent.
Although as "players" they can indeed spend the night by "going offline", Thomas, a senior RPG player, always feels that something is missing.
But now, the chief priest of the church finally confirmed this personally, which made Thomas feel a surge of joy in his heart.
He heard Luo Xiu Carlos continue to say:
"The church will issue a gold coin to each of you. In addition, for every 'abnormal undead' you purify, you will receive An additional reward of three silver coins!"
"For every Dark Army soldier you kill, you will also receive a reward of one silver coin!"
"These additional rewards will be given to you! There is no cap. You can go to the mission house to pick it up tomorrow morning. "
"It's already late at night, my colleagues. I think you are already exhausted physically and mentally and need a place to rest. , to replenish the spirit.”
“After that, the church’s priests will lead you to the new area where the church will live. Each of you will have an entire room.” br>
After saying that, Luo Xiu walked down the Xumo Altar, and his figure immediately disappeared from the attention of the players.
Maiyev, the chief officer of the mission, walked up to the altar. With a wave of his hand, dozens of clergymen appeared around the guards. "They are the priests of the mission." Mayev said, "Follow them, and they will lead you to your residence."
...
< br>The evening gathering ended quickly, and Thomas left the church with the clergymen and headed for the suburbs of Red Maple City.
According to the leading cleric, it was about half an hour's walk to his residence. Thomas thought about the rewards he deserved on the way.
In the previous "Death Catastrophe" and the defensive war outside the city, Thomas purified a total of six aberrant undead and killed twenty-seven Dark Army soldiers, that is to say ——He can get a total of 1 gold coin and 45 silver coins!
After more than half a day of in-depth experience, Thomas has learned from other NPCs that the currency officially issued by his "Norland Empire" is a decimal system among copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.
On top of the "gold coins" there seems to be something called a "platinum coin", which can be worth 100 gold coins, but Thomas has not yet come into contact with it.
But Thomas doesn’t care about this. For him, playing games is a long and arduous process. As long as you play for a long time, you will get everything. Thomas is not in a hurry.
Putting his thoughts back to the current harvest - Thomas was pleasantly surprised to find that he would be rewarded with a total of 5 gold coins and 5 silver coins! This is almost ten times his existing savings!
All his current savings add up to 6 gold coins and 2 silver coins... Thomas suddenly felt that he had suddenly become rich.
After suddenly becoming rich, he also began to think about how to spend the money.
Maybe you can get yourself a better set of equipment? Thomas thought... "Frost Moon" happened to be an apprentice in the dwarf's forging manor, maybe he could consult her.
So, on the way to his residence, Thomas opened the chat channel in his mind while sightseeing the scenery along the streets, and glanced at what the players were discussing enthusiastically.
Except for the players who have become "Church Patrollers", most other players who have jobs already have corresponding residences.
The "city wall guards" with the second largest number are directly stationed in the barracks, the "construction workers" live in the workers' dormitories with vacancies, and the smallest number of "blacksmith apprentices" are rented directly from the forging manor. Living in a private house next to it...
But in general, they do not have a relatively independent and private place to live, which makes Thomas full of expectations for the place he is about to get.
After browsing through what the players were discussing, Thomas clicked on the friends bar and found the avatar frame of "Frost Moon 123".
The channel panel of "God's Destiny" has a friend function - when he met Shuangyue before, Thomas added her, and her current avatar is still bright, indicating that she is still online. .
Opening the friend’s chat channel, Thomas quickly entered a few lines——
"Hey, are you still online? Shuangyue?"
"I have something to ask you."
"..."
"What's the matter?" Shuangyue replied quickly Got him.
"I want to customize a weapon - with a budget of five gold coins, aren't you an apprentice blacksmith? Do you have any recommendations?"
"?"
"You Where did you get the five gold coins? Did you commit a crime? "
... What the hell is a crime?
Thomas was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Shuangyue should have thought that he had committed the "evil deed" of the famous player.
That includes but is not limited to - murder, robbery, etc... In a sense, as long as the risks are ignored, this is indeed the fastest way to make money.
"No, it's just a bounty given to us by the church."
Thomas quickly answered her:
"Just now the church's chief priest, Luo Xiu, summoned us and said that all church patrols Reward 1 gold coin, purify 1 'distorted undead' and give 3 additional silver coins, kill 1 Dark Army soldier and give 1 silver coin..."
"That's it, my record is almost the same. Get these, a total of 5 gold coins and 5 silver coins."
"..."
"..."
Shuang Yue was silent.
Silence is the Red Maple City tonight.
After a long time, a line of sour text popped up in the chat box that Thomas was staring at -
"...Is it too late to change jobs now?"
"May I ask for you?" Thomas answered immediately.
"Forget it." Shuangyue quickly replied, "You want to forge a weapon? Five gold coins... It seems that only weapons of 'green rare' quality can be forged, or the kind of inferior quality. "
"But, well, even if it's just a 'green rare', it's still in the category of extraordinary weapons, and it's definitely much more powerful than ordinary weapons."
"Do you want to customize it? If necessary, I can help you ask the forger who brought me, it should be cheaper."
"..."
Five gold coins, you can only customize "green" in the forging manor. Rare" weapons? Hmm... It seems to be okay, after all, it is already the third level of extraordinary weapon quality... Thomas thought.
Previously, Thomas had learned that the quality of equipment from bottom to top is "gray rough", "white common", "green rare", "blue rare" and so on... five pieces It seems worthwhile to exchange gold coins for a third-level extraordinary weapon.
"Okay." Thomas replied to Shuangyue, "Then I'll go find you tomorrow."
"Okay." Shuangyue responded to him quickly, and then said, "I It’s time to go to bed. It’s quite late.”
“Yeah.”
"Good night."
"..."
After that, Shuangyue's head turned gray.
After Shuangyue went offline, Thomas also closed the panel, and while thinking about going to the forging manor tomorrow, the clergyman he led suddenly stopped.
“We are here.”
The clergyman said, “Just in front, the church has built a new residence for the saints here. Since you are already the ‘church patrol’, this is where you are. This is my future residence.”
Following the guidance of the cleric, Thomas looked forward.
Then, his eyes widened in disbelief -
A series of small Nordic-style villas with three or four floors came into his field of vision.
They are lined up peacefully on both sides of the street, the glass of the windows reflects the moonlight flickeringly, and the autumn chrysanthemums and bluebells planted on the spacious terrace are swaying and swaying gently in the wind——< br>
The light blue moonlight shines through the gaps between the treetops like silk and satin on the eaves of these small villas. The green light spots flow and jump on their white walls, bringing a refreshing sense of movement to the quiet late night.
“...?”
Thomas was silent, his pupils began to tremble.
"Other players either live in military camps, construction site dormitories, or residential buildings..."
"I live in a villa?"
"...Huh?"
“…”
Looking at the villa in front of him, Thomas fell into deep thought.
