Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 83: Dragon Roar Peak
Looking at more and more players accepting the tasks, Murphy felt secretly pleased.
It seems that I did the right thing.
He understands the mentality of the players very well. For those who only care about their spare time and equipment, they will not come even if you talk a lot but don't have good mission rewards.
His impassioned speech is mainly aimed at those game players who simply like to experience the plot and those newbies who want to experience boss battles.
For this type of player, the sense of epic is sometimes more important than gold coins and equipment.
Look, after some agitation, we have the cannon fodder.
Murphy accepted everyone who met the grade requirements, and soon he had recruited more than ten people.
At this time, a heroic player, an elf ranger master, walked out of the crowd .
Murphy was a little surprised. If there was one more hero in the team, it would undoubtedly be more secure. Moreover, the opponent was level 38 and a ranged hero, which would be very useful against the black dragon.
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Your Highness, do you need some really good fighters?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "You want to join my team?"
"Yes, but I am not interested in false reputation. I have no shortage of weapons and sufficient combat experience. I do not need further training. I would rather prove my worth in battle. I want half of the black dragon's drop. Promise me, and my bow will fight for you."
Murphy was speechless for a while. Damn, this guy is really fucking greedy. If I give you half of the drop, won't I lose money? Don't use those empty tricks to deal with such people.
"I can only give you one drop, and I must choose the first one. You can choose the second one."
"Two, the rest is yours."
"One."
"...One at a time, but I must choose first."
"One, you pick the second one, otherwise forget it."
Qing Feng Lan glared at Prince , thinking, you are too confident, a mere level 12 melee hero, do you think the quest bosses are all fools? Can't you fly in the sky and spit fire? I am a ranged hero...
He suddenly smiled: "Okay, just one at a time."
But I thought in my heart, you forced me to do this.
Murphy didn't take it seriously. It would be safer to bring one more ranged hero. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. As long as the black dragon is killed, everything will be fine.
In fact, he was somewhat skeptical about making such a big fuss. With his equipment and skills, it was more than enough for him to kill a young black dragon. With so many subordinates joining the battle, it was not impossible for him to give it a try even against an adult dragon.
But it’s better to be safe than sorry. After all, you can’t be resurrected during plot events, so it’s better to be on the safe side.
Seeing that the number of people had gathered, he waved his hand and said, "Move out - the enemy is at Longhou Peak!"
The mighty "army" set out on the journey to conquer the black dragon. Murphy rode his horse at the front of the team, followed by neat formations of kingdom crossbowmen and sparse groups of adventurers.
Those newbies who have just started playing the game are quite excited. This is about slaying a dragon, fighting against a mythical monster that can fly, breathe fire and weigh dozens of tons. The thought of it is exciting.
Those RPG fans have even started preparing their appearance poses and lines to say, and then they will directly record them and post them on video websites to earn some traffic.
Only Qing Feng was stopping him from sending messages to several of his friends.
Even someone as notorious as Qingfeng Lanhuai always has some decent friends, all of whom are former core members of the Dragon's Sorrow, and they are like brothers.
"Lakeside Knight, Star Sage, Xu Shenxian, Black Cat, Wushang Zhonglin, Xiao Bieli, are you all in place?"
Lakeside Knight: "We are here, there are sixteen brothers in total, and we have already arrived at Dragon Roar Peak."
Qingfeng Lanhuai (Ranger Master): "Only sixteen? Why so few? At least come as a group."
The Star Realm Sage: "Just be content. You only have sixteen of us here because of us. By the way, why don't we see the BOSS you mentioned? Qingfeng, you won't betray our brothers again, will you?"
Qingfeng Lanhuai (Ranger Master): "Damn, am I that kind of person? Don't worry, I won't be wrong this time. The quest BOSS didn't show up because the person who accepted the quest hasn't arrived yet. This kind of plot quest BOSS can only be triggered by the person who accepted the quest. You just need to hide and wait for Aidan to summon the BOSS. I will be the first to attack and establish hatred, and then I will immediately quit the team and join your team. Then all the drops from the BOSS will be ours."
Immortal Xu: "Qingfeng, what kind of boss is this time?"
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Black Dragon."
Black Cat: "I'm not going to make a fuss, Qingfeng, you bastard, are you going to play dirty again? Come and attack the Black Dragon again? We have been wiped out twice before, and I have Black Dragon PTSD now."
Qingfeng Lanhuai was almost broken by the scolding, but he also knew that he was in the wrong.
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Don't worry, this is a mission boss, it will definitely not be too strong. It will probably be a young dragon, a skeleton-level boss, at most a terrifying level one. We may not be able to defeat it with our strength. Don't forget that we used to be professional dragon slayers."
Wu Shangzhonglin: "Qingfeng, ah Qingfeng, we are brothers, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I don't bother to bother with you about the shit you did before. This is the last time we trust you. If it works, we will still be brothers. If things go wrong again... I hope you can remember that everyone chooses their own path, and no matter how bitter the consequences are, you have to accept them."
Qingfeng Lanhuai's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely remembered hearing people mention Wu Shang Zhonglin during an offline gathering of the guild before. He seemed to have a considerable background and was very influential. When he heard his threatening words, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Don't worry, it will be absolutely fine."
He closed the message bar, feeling inexplicably nervous.
It shouldn't be a problem.
Bah, bah, bah, how could anything happen? Don’t scare yourself.
An hour later, the mighty 'army' finally approached the hillside near Longhou Peak.
Murphy rode on an Alterac horse and walked at the front of the team, wearing a Nordic Knight suit with a sword hanging around his waist. He didn't have the dragon-slaying greatsword, but before the battle began, he had to at least maintain his image as a prince.
"That's the Dragon Roar Peak ahead, Your Highness." A local villager who led the way said in a trembling voice, "The black dragon roams there. Sometimes the sky is filled with dragon roars, and the sound is so terrifying that even the devils would be scared and dare not show their heads. Sometimes it crashes into the mountain peaks, shaking the earth , and can be heard even dozens of miles away.
The nearby residents have all fled, and even the monsters have disappeared, no one dares to stay here any longer..."
Murphy didn't take it too seriously. These NPC villagers particularly loved making a fuss. After all, they were set up to be a group of ordinary people, serving to highlight the power of heroes and adventurers and to enhance the atmosphere of the plot.
Don't take what he says too seriously.
He looked down the mountain and could vaguely see the ruins of a castle.
"What is that place?"
"That is Black Rock Castle, the castle of Earl Daval. The surrounding land and mountains were all the Earl's fiefdoms. However, ever since the black dragon began to wreak havoc, his castle was destroyed and Earl Daval has disappeared."
Count Daval? Never heard of him. Probably not a famous character.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Don't worry, old man. After today, you don't have to worry anymore. I, Aidan, will liberate this land from the shadow of the dragon. Don't you agree, brave adventurers? Let's unite and move forward!"
A cheer sounded behind them, and the team marched towards Longhou Peak in orderly steps. As they got closer, Longhou Peak gradually became clearer.
Murphy looked at the mountain in surprise. Alterac was covered with snow everywhere, and Dragon's Roar Peak was no exception. However, the raised upper part of Dragon's Roar Peak was pitch black, gleaming in the sun with the luster of obsidian, and there was not a single speck of snow on it.
Looking at the map , they had already completely entered the mission area. Looking at the empty sky around them, Murphy thought, where is the dragon?
