Chapter 37 - Job 1
Bat beast, as the name suggests, is a large flying beast with bat wings. As for its scientific name “Nevalkya Dragon”, it is estimated that no one will know except the old scholar who specializes in natural science.
As a member of the dragon’s subspecies family, the bat beast, like most members of its family, is huge and powerful, and of course, it can also fly. However, compared to most other carnivorous Yalongs, herbivorous bats are relatively gentle and easy to be domesticated. As a result, the Federation began large-scale captivity of this flying behemoth and used it as the most commonly used means of transportation.
Generally speaking, grass-eating animals are docile, but docile animals are not aggressive, and animals that are not aggressive are of course not able to fly fast. The bat beast has strong endurance, and can even fly nonstop for seven or eight consecutive days, but let ’s talk about speed … For example, Lu Xi took the private floating boat Nicakron from Rasell from Colorful Rose Island to Eliashar, it took a total of three and a half weeks; if it is replaced by a bat beast, even if it is part-time, this time will increase to more than half a year.
So, when these sloppy beasts could fly large beasts, flapping their wings, and carrying the fivesome to their destination, it was already 4pm on September 4th.
“It’s so dangerous. In an hour or two at night, things will be big.” Lu Xi smiled happily.
“I suspect that the headquarters has just pinched the time. If there is a delay, we will all be finished.” Carol took out a handkerchief from where he was, sticking the sweat on his forehead.
“Hee hee, if the time is not so tight, in fact, the young master still wants to spend a night in Daro Shure?” Yeroweil smiled with his mouth covered. After a long journey, everyone was tired, but the girl of the dark elf was still energetic and energetic.
I should say, is it really an elf?
“This is of course. Although it is a military stronghold, it is considered to be the closest town in the Federation to Namoa. I heard that you can taste the freshest hotpot of Namoya Shanzhen. I’ve got a five-star evaluation of the fantastic food. “Said here, Carol’s expression solidified, and the mouth began to show signs of saliva. Obviously, at this time, his soul was already with Shan Zhen’s dinner …
“As long as the exam is finished, I think everyone is willing to enjoy the food with you.” Lu Xi said with a smile, “But now the task is still important, but finally caught up.”
“Yeah, even though you are late, you will not be regarded as a deserter as the officer said; however, it is entirely possible to fail the exam.” Carol nodded.
“Anyway, let’s report to Major Lawrence first.” Sai Xiliu made the above summary, as if he had already claimed himself as the captain.
For such an attitude, Lu Xi shrugged helplessly, and Carol directly made a dissatisfied hum with his nasal cavity, and Yi Luoweier smiled unexpectedly deeply, as for Primula, of course, always expressionless.
Job One is a very small floating island. Strictly speaking, even the island is not even counted. At most, it is a rock cliff floating in the sky. The Federal Army carefully used the space and volume of this island, hollowed out the rock, and finally built a small depot in it, which can accommodate up to 500 people.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Job 1, such a small fortress with large sesame seeds, was actually equipped with a special beast stable and a squad of twenty-horned eagle cavalry. This surprised Lu Xi a little bit.
Several people gave the bat to the stable’s horseman, and asked for the way. Then he carried his luggage to the office of the principal of the fortress, Major Lawrence.
Such a small fortress with a resident strength of not more than 300 people is probably rarely equipped with a dedicated combat magician. Now, there were actually three people dressed as magicians walking by with a swing, which immediately caused a very high return rate. If not in a disciplined barracks, I am afraid it will cause onlookers.
After all, it is a fortress built by hollowing out a floating rock. Its interior is naturally not spacious. The occasional weapon racks and boxes placed on the aisle make the space more narrow, but it is spotlessly cleaned. Obviously, it is often carefully maintained . The sergeant who passed by Lu Xi and his colleagues looked at these young men dressed as magicians with some surprise, but at most they looked at them curiously, and soon turned their attention back to their work. on.
Major Lawrence ’s office is located on the top floor of the fortress. The room is not large, and there is only a desk, a bookcase, and a small sofa.
The person in charge of the castle is a man between about thirty-five and forty years old. He wore a well-fitted officer’s uniform, a school officer’s sword hung around his waist, and a pair of closed white wings remained behind him.
Yes, Young Lawrence is a wing man.
Generally speaking, the Federal Army Department generally separates the Wings into thousands of people or even tens of thousands of people to use their flying advantages to ensure their powerful guerrilla warfare. However, occasionally, some wingmen and individuals also joined the army and became officers of the standing army. Therefore, the person in charge of Job One is a wingman officer. Although it is rare, it is not without precedent.
So, after spending a short period of surprise, Lu Xi learned the same as everyone else, very formally maintaining an upright posture in front of the major, but his eyes turned around the wings behind each other.
Now, Major Lawrence’s wings are put away, not even careful not to notice. However, when preparing to fly, the wingspan spread can be said to exceed three meters.
Think about the magnificent snow-white wings that can cover the sun when the winged people with more than 10,000 people rise into the sky. What kind of spectacular scene should it be.
The wingman officer carefully read the order of the crowd, and the trio of candidates had to stand in front of him with a solemn attitude. As for the two servants, they could only wait outside the office.
After a few minutes, Major Lawrence raised his head from the order, and looked at the people with a non-kind gaze lukewarmly.
“Seychelle Moore?”
“Here!” The girl took a step forward and did her best to raise her chest. Of course, no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible to make the barren **** fuller.
“Lucy Berencaster?”
“Here!” Lu Xi can only try to make herself appear to be a little more energetic, and go one step forward to continue to stand upright.
“Carroll Rossetti?”
“…… Ah, yes, come.”
“In the army, the chief named, the only answer is‘ to ’! You are a first offense this time, I do n’t want to hear other answers next time, understand?”
“Understood!”
“Very good.” Major Lawrence nodded in satisfaction. He pondered for a while, then said with a straight face: “To be honest, I don’t welcome you. Job 1 doesn’t welcome you either.”
Er, this is really a depressing opening.
Lu Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, then glanced at his companions with the afterglow of the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, Carol’s face was green for a while, and red for a while; Sexilyu took a sigh of relief, and seemed to be ready to talk to the other party immediately.
“It’s said that the magicians of your Learning Alliance are the pillars of the country. As for whether it is true, I don’t understand such a deep truth. I only know: most of you magicians are noble and free guys! Although the Austrian power you have is the most powerful weapon on the battlefield, as a soldier, even the newly recruited soldiers are more qualified than your gangsters. “
Although you are telling the truth, can you not be so direct? Did n’t you see that these two “waste masters” are already thinking about unloading you?
“To tell you the truth: If there is not a situation that requires magical power to solve it, even if it is a military training like this, I will never take you in!”
“But I didn’t expect it: I just submitted an application for magical assistance, and actually sent me the three of you rookie apprentices. Damn, what does the headquarters think of me here? Kindergarten? Just sent me a bookworm , A dude, plus a … “The major looked at Lu Xi’s face carefully,” plus a girly … “
“You!” Carol was furious and stepped forward angrily, but was stopped by Lu Xi’s hand. The latter exchanged a glance with the blushing Secilyu, smiled slightly, and asked, “Anyway, the headquarters sent us in, maybe we believe that we have the ability to solve the problem. As for What is the situation, you have to talk to us. “
Major Lawrence froze a little, and looked at Lu Xi up and down with a meaningful look.
“Are you called Lucy Berencaster?”
“Exactly.”
“Bellencaster? It’s no wonder.” The major sent out an emotion of unknown meaning, and then walked to the map of the Wall Mountain: “Come and see.”
This is a detailed military map of Mount Yobo, a branch of the Namoa Mountains, clearly marked from the geography of mountains and rivers to artificial buildings.
“Here,” Major pointed to a place in the mountains marked with a mine symbol. “It is about a day away from Job 1 and it is a mysterious silver mine!”
“Mithril?” Carol and Seychelle exclaimed at the same time.
“Yes, it’s the Mithril.” The major nodded. “You all should know that a few years ago, our Eastern Army had launched a large-scale campaign against Mount Namoa.”
Several people nodded. This matter is a very big piece of news even in the world. The commander of the Eastern Legion, Gary, also determined the name of his leading enemy of the Federation and the number one enemy of the Black Flag Wings.
“Frankly speaking, the operation was not a success. Although we won several battles, the Black Flag wing people also withdrew inside the mountain and we guerrillas. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, we had to withdraw our troops.”
“Hmm.” The three nodded and still didn’t understand the meaning of the other party telling them old news.
“However, even after retreating. Our army took the opportunity to build several fortresses and barracks on the mountain, so it controlled a part of the mountain in western Namoa. And this Mithril mine is just under our control. Inside.”
“Wait, I have never heard of any news about the Mithril Mine seized by the Federation.” Carol said aloud.
Seeing the two companions looking at himself, he quickly laughed and said, “Oh, our family is in the ore business. If the Federation really finds new mines, or robbed enemy mines, it is impossible I hid our intelligence network. “
“You don’t know it’s normal,” Major Lawrence said. “Because ah, the headquarters has blocked the news. This mythical silver mine, which is the property of the Eastern Army, is the so-called small vault. Do you understand ?”
“Uh? Understand.”
“I mean-Xiaojinku! Do you really understand?”
Seeing Saixiru’s expression, Lu Xi hurriedly lowered her posture as quickly as possible: “Understand. You can rest assured, we fully understand!”
“Huh, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.” The major looked at Sai Xiliu’s dissatisfied expression. “Even if someone said it, one was the 40,000 soldiers of the Eastern Legion, and the other was an apprentice of the magician. Who do you believe in?”
“Naturally I believe in you. So, is the situation you said related to the Mithril Mine?”
Major remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded helplessly and sighed, a faint embarrassment appeared on his face.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say it. Actually, there … haunted …”
Before crossing, Lu Xi, who was a completely atheist, would certainly sniff at such rumors. However, he is now living in the mysterious, ubiquitous Gaby continent. So, when the major said this slowly, Lu Xi suddenly felt an unpleasant shade coming from his neck.
“Ahaha ~ It’s so cold in September, the weather in the east is really bad …” Lu Xi smiled dryly.
“Yeah yeah.” Carol also dryly conformed.
(System prompt: Trigger D-level mission “Haunted Mine”. Task content: As the most important small vault of the Eastern Legion, the Job Mystery Silver Mine is now starting to be haunted, and the workers have no intention of working. Please solve it as soon as possible, otherwise The internal welfare of the legion will definitely be affected badly, and it will also affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the legion. Victory reward: experience value 1000. Failure penalty: the success rate of the A-level mission “Union’s Trial” cannot be estimated. Negative effects.)
The so-called ghost, according to the Templar Church, is that after the death of the soul, because of the strong obsession with the world, the soul cannot calmly ascend to heaven or sleep, and has to wander sadly in the world, becoming immortal and immortal , A special existence that does not perish, this is the so-called ghost, that is, the ghost.
Of course, the former is a so-called natural ghost; there is also a so-called artificial ghost in the world of nature.
The necromancers of the council of the dead use powerful spiritual magic and undead magic to imprison the souls of the dead and turn them into servants and armies driven by themselves.
If it is the latter, the problem is easier to deal with. The magical skills of the priest and the paladin can free the painful ghost from the imprisonment of the necromancer and ascend to the sky safely. It is not possible. Arcane magic can also directly burn the ghosts and attribute them to invisible, but the efficiency is not as high as the magic; or No longer, find a way to kill the necromancer who controls the ghost, and the ghosts can be liberated.
Fear of being the so-called naturally formed ghost.
Ghosts formed naturally often have strong obsessions and resentments in the world, and this idea can easily become a source of its strength. Every natural ghost has a very strong curse ability and dark magic power, and it is invisible. Normal warriors and weapons not only can’t hurt them, but also are easily invaded by the pervasive curse and dark magic power. Even how to die is inexplicable. .
However, since it is only a D-level mission, it should not be a ghost that is too difficult to deal with.
“Because of the haunting, the mine has been shut down for almost a month. Now, to prove that you are not a” waste master “, please resolve this incident as soon as possible.” The major said so, and waved his hand decisively, his expression seemed so Chic and resolute.
Lu Xi finally resisted the urge to compare with his middle finger, after all, he just sighed helplessly.
“I now ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ I really hope to be a ghost of a necromancer.” Carol sighed.
“Don’t you ever think, can these magic apprentices beat the Necromancer?”
“You … don’t scare me. I would rather die with undead forces than to be killed inexplicably by a ghost.”
“Well, there is a saying: The goddess will only give people a trial that can pass. So, let’s go back and discuss it, there is no way to be a human.”
“Hope, hope so.”
“Sai Xiliu, let’s go. Xei Xiliu?” Lu Xi shouted each other a few times, and found that the girl was standing in a daze, completely frozen from expression to body.
“Sai Xilu, what’s the matter with you?” Lu Xi patted her shoulder and found that there was no response, and then pranked her hand and squeezed her cheek, but still no response.
“Sai Xiliu!” Lu Xi raised her voice.
“Ah!” The girl screamed loudly, and the decibel was at least twice that of Lu Xi. Even Major Lens was shocked, let alone two magicians who were closer.
Lu Xi squatted down subconsciously, covering her ears, clenching her teeth, and resisting the other party’s cry with difficulty. At this decibel, it is estimated that even the spiritual attack of the undead “succubus screaming” should be overshadowed.
Lasted a few seconds, but in the eyes of everyone in the room, it was at least a few hours long. Lu Xi shook some dizzy head, stood up, and saw Sei Xiliu squatted into the corner with his head. There was a tear in her eyes, and she whispered in a choked voice: “Ghost … The ghost is the most annoying … The ghost … woo …”
嘞? This girl will also sell cute? I thought she only had the “excellent student” attribute.
