Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 82: The End of Brother Feng
The layout of the tavern in Alterac City is different from that of other places: there is a large counter on the street, and the counter is filled with large oak barrels. Adventurers who have been fighting monsters return to the city in the evening and spend fifty copper coins to buy a bottle of dwarven liquor.
——This happened three months ago. Ever since the price of yeti fur skyrocketed, more and more adventurers have come to the city, and the price of dwarven liquor has also risen to one silver coin.
Most of the adventurers stood at the door, drank their wine in a hurry and then logged off. If they were willing to spend twenty more copper coins, they could buy a bowl of stew or roasted wild boar ribs and have a big meal.
But most of these adventurers who drink dwarven liquor are low-level trumpets or those who are just collecting materials , and they are probably not that generous.
Only those big characters above level 40 would gather in groups of three or five to reserve a table, order wine and meat, sit down and eat and drink slowly, and chat about where a wild BOSS has spawned and which place has a new dungeon that can be conquered.
Occasionally, hero players would show up. They were all wealthy people who were not short of money. They would be very generous when ordering dishes, often ordering a large table of food, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and at the end they would pay the bill with a gold coin, leaving behind a crowd of envious looks.
Among these players, Qingfeng Lanhuai is a unique one. He is the only hero player who is reluctant to spend money to buy meat.
He is an elf with the typical sissy face of elves. In order to enhance his individuality, a scar was deliberately added when his face was shaped. However, he does not look fierce at all. Instead, he has an indescribable wretched temperament. Although he is a hero, his equipment is very rotten, and the only equipment he has is a dragon bone longbow that is acceptable.
Because his name contains the word "feng", people jokingly call him Brother Feng.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Feng? Are you going to rob some boss's house again?"
He did not answer, but said with a dark face: "Give me two bottles of dwarven liquor and a set of hard bread." Then he took out two silver coins.
"You are so rich! Which unlucky player did you betray this time?"
Qing Feng Lan Huai's face flushed immediately, "You idiots, what do you know about betrayal? I am upright and have a clear conscience."
This remark only drew a round of boos.
The story about Qingfeng Lanhuai is widely circulated among the adventurer community, and the former members of Dragon's Sorrow have made great contributions to it. Everyone knows that Qingfeng Lanhuai was once the president of a large guild. For the sake of 100,000 yuan, he led the players in the guild to be cannon fodder, and let a black dragon BOSS wipe out the whole group in one wave.
After the incident was exposed, the morale of the guild became scattered and most of them left.
Later, he used the 100,000 yuan to build a heroic account and took the remaining members to steal the home of the Black Dragon BOSS. However, they were blocked by the Black Dragon who had returned. Many members were killed or injured. Qingfeng Lanhuai jumped off a cliff to escape and broke his leg. He managed to escape with his life, but since then, the Dragon's Sorrow Guild has been completely disbanded.
But this guy had a strange idea and actually gave himself the same name, which caused his past embarrassing stories to spread along with the disbanding of the guild. Everyone knew that he was unreliable and loved to betray his teammates, which led to fewer and fewer people willing to team up with him. His performance also became worse and worse, and he could only play SOLO alone.
Qingfeng Lanhuai drank a bottle of dwarven liquor, and a slight drunken DEBUFF appeared on his head. This DEBUFF did not cause any special harm, it just made people dizzy. It was said that many people who liked to drink in real life would go into the game to experience this feeling, because it was cheap and harmless.
Every time this happened, someone would ask, "Qingfeng Lanhuai, have you really been the guild president? Why are you still doing so badly?"
Qingfeng Lanhuai immediately looked depressed and uneasy. A layer of gray covered his face and he uttered some pale excuses: too much pressure... forced by life... those people didn't listen to orders, I was too bad at the game and so on.
Before this time, everyone started laughing: the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The only one who didn't laugh was Qingfeng Lanhuai. He looked at the mocking faces of the adventurers around him and the disdainful eyes of the heroes, and just cursed in his heart.
Damn it, damn it, these bastards, I just got 100,000 yuan, do you have to keep saying it every day? This broken plot has been played out too much.
When we went to attack the Dark Dragon's Lair, I also gave the orders with all my heart. If it weren't for those useless guys who didn't listen to my orders and just messed around, we might have killed the Black Dragon Morpheus long ago.
By then, I can get the equipment worth 100,000 yuan, wouldn’t that be great?
You two pieces of trash, Sword of the Dawn and God of Midnight, I sacrificed so much to be your bait, but you guys failed in the end. If you could win, would I become a laughing stock?
Those trolls who are just trying to make a fuss deserve to be damned. Do you understand that a hero is not judged by his success or failure? I have endured so much for the sake of the overall situation. What's wrong with taking 100,000 yuan? Isn't it for the development of the guild that I use 100,000 yuan to build a hero account?
I am so clear about the righteousness of this matter, why can't you bunch of trash understand it?
And that black dragon Morpheus, why don’t you die, you bastard black dragon? If you were dead, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
Unfortunately, no matter how much I cursed in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud.
Qingfeng led him out of the tavern. The cold wind of Alterac calmed him down a little. He looked at the tall and thick walls around him and thought that he could no longer stay in this shabby place, Alterac. He should go to Stormwind Kingdom to have a look. It is impossible for the Dark Portal to remain closed forever. As long as the orc army invades the East Continent and the war breaks out, he will find a chance to make a name for himself sooner or later.
With his master-level archery skills, taking down a few orc bosses is like a piece of cake.
As soon as I walked into the square, I heard an impassioned speech.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Brave adventurers, stop and listen to my voice. An arduous mission is waiting for you to join, and a great honor is waiting for the true brave to obtain.
An evil black dragon is lurking in the land of Alterac, tormenting my people. People live in fear, trembling under the shadow of the black dragon.
Beautiful girls were sacrificed, brave soldiers died in the fire, incompetent nobles stood by and watched. Only I, Prince Aidan of Alterac, chose to stand up and vowed to repel evil and save this kingdom from the clutches of the dragon.
Are you willing to fight alongside me and become a dragon-slaying warrior? For Alterac, for this world, contribute your part of the strength.
I know that not everyone dares to face the wrath of the dragon, and I know that not everyone has the courage to fight evil.
If you fight, you may die.
If you run away, you can at least survive a little longer.
Many years later, you die of old age in your bed, and looking back, you realized that you once had the opportunity to save the world and you once had the opportunity to write a legend.
Are you willing to trade all of this for today, just one chance, to come back here and fight with me against that terrible dragon? It may kill us, but it cannot destroy our will. We want to let the world know that there are still true warriors among humans who are willing to fight to the death for justice and glory, homeland and loved ones! "
Qingfeng Lanhuai rolled his eyes as he listened nearby. This bastard is quite eloquent. If you didn't know him, you would think he was an NPC. He knew very well that King Aiden had no son at all. All these princes were the king's children.
He looked at the title of prince on Prince Aidan's head and couldn't help feeling envious and jealous. What a rich man! He even had the title of prince.
At first, he also wanted to get the title of prince, but the price was too expensive. The prince background of Quel'Thalas cost four million. There was no other way. The popularity of elves was too high. In the end, he could only open a civilian template.
Originally he thought that the title of prince might mean a more distinguished status and he could get discounts on purchases or something, but later he found out that it was not the case. Not to mention the various invisible benefits, just the weekly story missions made him jealous. The weekly missions all gave story points, which, although not much, was a stable income.
Moreover, the BOSS in the weekly quests are usually refreshed at fixed locations. As long as you go there, the plot campaign will be 100% triggered. As a prince, you can even recruit soldiers for free to fight. After the battle, you will get plot points, reputation, and equipment. It's simply a big gift package.
As soon as Qingfeng Lanhuai saw the situation in front of him, he knew that most likely they were short of cannon fodder for the weekly quest and were recruiting adventurers. However, he had to admit that the way he issued quests was quite ceremonial, and the lines of his speech were somewhat like the pre-war speeches in Hollywood epic blockbusters, and were quite inflammatory.
But it’s 2030 now, no one will still believe this, right?
But as soon as he came up with the idea, the adventurers who were watching came forward to sign up.
"Oh yeah! Count me in as Prince Aidan! Human warrior Eternal Leo reports for duty. As long as I'm here, humanity will never fail!"
"And me, for justice and glory! Knight Aragorn is willing to serve you, and I will let the evil black dragon taste the sharp blade in my hand."
"I am also willing to fight alongside you, Your Highness. My name is Lilith, and I am a priest. Although I am not good at fighting, I will support you from behind."
"Prince Aidan, if you don't mind that we are of low rank, we are all willing to join you."
Qingfeng Lanhuai was speechless when he saw this. (Damn, you bunch of stupid newbies, can't you see that they are trying to trick you into being cannon fodder? And you're still fighting for justice and glory, and saving the world? It's so funny.)
He groped his way closer and lightly tapped the golden exclamation mark, triggering the task.
【Mission name: The Dragon Slayer of Alterac.】
Mission content: Assist Prince Aidan to eliminate the black dragon that is wreaking havoc in the area around Dragon Roar Peak.
Mission text: Brave adventurers, stop and listen to the voice of Prince Aidan. A difficult mission is waiting for you to join...
Mission rewards: 2000 experience points, title [Dragon Slayer], and the choice of Bone-stripping Spear or Snake-man Curved Sword.
Do you accept, yes/no. 】
Damn, such a bad reward, it's obvious that they are trying to get adventurers to work for free.
2000 experience points is a lot, but it takes an hour to get to Dragon Roar Peak, and another hour to complete the task and come back. Including the time spent fighting the BOSS, the three-hour task only gives 2000 experience points. It's too rip-off.
The title of Dragon Slayer sounds impressive, but the title displayed in the reward column is just an ordinary blank title without any attribute bonus. This title is just for looking good, and only those small accounts with little knowledge will be interested in it.
The equipment rewarded as missions is even more rubbish. I don't know where these blank weapons came from. These alien weapons look very cool, but they are often not easy to use. There are no matching weapon skills. The weirder the weapon, the faster you die. This rule also applies to the game.
You still have the nerve to issue tasks with such a meager reward.
What made Qingfeng Lanhuai even more incomprehensible was that there were actually quite a few people who accepted the task. He really didn't know what these people were thinking?
He wanted to leave, but suddenly he noticed the level of Prince Aidan, which was only level 12, and a melee fighter. This meant that the main output was from the adventurers and his crossbowmen. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and a good plan emerged.
