Chapter 68 The Guilty Magician
With the appearance of the server-wide announcement of the new world-class mission, all players knew the news.
"Oh shit, a new world quest! Oh shit, there's also a divine weapon!"
"A new world-class mission! Then the previous world-class mission is considered completed ."
"Ah, a world-class mission only rewards 100 points. The planner is really stingy."
"I can tell from the looks of it that you don't like playing games. Look at the content of the quest. This is a serial world quest! It's not completely over yet. This is the first stage of the end."
"I'm so envious of the three gangsters. They all have magical weapons, but we can only get 100 points."
"If anyone is a friend of Congge, please send a private message and ask Congge to take out the artifact and show everyone its properties! This is the number one artifact of the God of Death, Scourge!"
Players were discussing excitedly. In addition to the new world quest content, what everyone was most concerned about was the artifacts obtained by the three legion commanders.
"Looking for Brother Cong, I found a Brother Cong to look at the artifact..."
"Cong Ge, be good and come out quickly so that the dads can see what the artifact looks like!"
"Listen, Brother Cong. I promise we'll just watch and won't rob."
Whether it is the world public screen or the game forum, players are everywhere looking for Xu Ercong.
There were even quite a few undead players and players wearing human skins gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for Xu Ercong to come out.
This phenomenon attracted the attention of many local NPC residents in the main city of the North.
"What are these undead and undead summoners doing? Why are they surrounding the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I don't know. Could it be that the villain in the City Lord's Mansion is doing some evil magic ?"
"How can you say that about the great magician! He is now the Lord Mayor of the City!"
"What do you think... could it be that this group of undead are holding some evil summoning ritual? I seem to hear this group of undead calling out someone's name again."
Because of the gathering of undead players, the NPCs also gathered and watched from a distance.
Faced with the strange behavior of the undead, the NPCs were confused and puzzled.
At some point, an old man who claimed to be the guardian of the magic academy suddenly appeared in the crowd and shouted, "I know! This is the special biological behavior that Bear Grylls once recorded in the magic knowledge book!"
"I guess this is some special group behavior of the undead. I have evidence! Bear Grylls once said that the souls of the undead are very similar to humans..."
The old man was spitting out saliva and throwing out one theory after another, which frightened the surrounding NPC residents.
…
"Xu Ercong! Brother Cong, come out quickly!"
"Let's take a look at what the artifact looks like!"
"Brother Cong, what do the three major clubs think about the new world-class mission?"
"Brother Ercong, when will you take us to the temple to grab points?"
Faced with the players' questions, Xu Ercong stayed indoors and did not answer questions from the club's top management.
It’s not that Xu Ercong is stingy, it’s because the God of Death hasn’t given him the artifact yet, so what can he show to everyone?
Seeing that Xu Ercong did not come out, the players went to the player forum and made a fuss for a while, but then they calmed down.
The players' excitement only lasted for a short while. Although the reward for the artifact sounded impressive, according to insider information, the three gangsters had not yet obtained the artifact.
This made many players who were feeling jealous suddenly feel balanced, realizing that artifacts were not that easy to obtain.
Xu Xiaofan had indeed been staying in the City Lord's Mansion these past few days, going out for a stroll from time to time.
Although there had long been rumors and evidence posts about the Grim Reaper appearing in the Northern City in the game forums, players had not been able to find any trace of Xu Xiaofan.
Because Xu Xiaofan had already used his divine power to change his clothes, he looked just like an ordinary NPC native to the Esk Continent and was easily overlooked.
In addition, Long Aotian was a tight-lipped guy and refused to share any information about Xu Xiaofan with others, so the players had not discovered Xu Xiaofan.
Most of the players couldn't find the God of Death, but only a small number of players were still trying their luck, searching for Xu Xiaofan's whereabouts around the Northern City.
After entering the Northern City, most players have gradually begun to focus on the local NPCs, and began to try to contact them and find ways to dig out some tasks.
Even the two major forces recognized in the city, the Adventurer's Tavern and the Magician's Guild, are harassed by countless players all day long... no, they are visited by countless players.
It’s okay if you ignore me, and it’s OK if you refuse to see guests. I have plenty of ways and time anyway.
How can an honest and decent NPC be a match for the players?
In addition, in the eyes of NPCs, these players are undead and undead summoners, and they all have close relationships with several big villain-level undead summoners who occupy the Northern City.
The local bigwigs in the city didn't dare to kill these undeads casually, and they were annoyed by the players' pressure, so they simply followed the players' requests and issued a few tasks for the players to pass the time.
But who would have thought that the players not only completed many of the tasks that the NPCs had deliberately set to make things difficult for them, but also completed them very well.
But the key point is that after completing the task, the players began to pester the NPCs for task rewards.
To be honest, the people of the continent of Esk have never seen such rogue behavior!
It is you undead who are supposed to do the quest, and after completing the quest you still have the audacity to come and ask for the quest reward.
"Isn't this robbery? Where can I find the mission reward for you?"
A young magician from the Magicians' Guild roared angrily: "Please stop bothering me. Don't think I won't kill you just because you are a talking undead!"
"I'm telling you, it's not just the Temple that has the means to kill the undead!"
Faced with the young magician's threat, the Skeleton Berserker player was stunned, and then said aggrievedly: "NPC brother, this is what you did wrong. I worked so hard to complete the task, and not only did you not give me a reward, you also wanted to kill me."
"Is there something I didn't do well enough? If I did something wrong, tell me!"
"Is it because I haven't collected enough red bird grass? Then I'll go collect some more for you."
Faced with the aggrieved, sincere and clinging undead, the young magician felt a headache.
You said to kill it. Indeed, this undead did nothing wrong and even helped me a small favor.
But you said you don't want to kill him. This guy is too annoying. He wants tasks and rewards, but you don't plan to issue bounty tasks at all!
The most important thing is that behind this group of undead stood several powerful villains with unpredictable strength, and these villains seemed to be undead summoners from an academic background.
After all, we are all related...
"NPC brother, are you really not going to give me the mission reward? Is it because I haven't completed the mission yet? Did I miss any prerequisites for the mission?"
The Skeleton Berserker player was reflecting on himself. His sincere tone and attitude made the young magician feel guilty.
The young magician looked at the undead standing in front of him. It was actually an extremely evil creature.
But at this moment, the young magician actually felt a little pity for it, as if he had really done something wrong.
What a nice undead creature, putting so much thought into helping me.
Even after being rejected and scolded by myself, I still reflect on whether I have done anything wrong.
The temple says that all undead are evil, but I think these undead are pretty good. They are such honest and hardworking creatures.
Thinking of this, the young magician felt even more guilty.
