Chapter 5: The Goblin's Trap
There were only twenty points of damage. Wang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw his damage number. In his previous life, he played with elemental mages. At first, he used the flame ball to attack the enemy, which was at least 30+ damage. Unexpectedly, the arcane mage's attack was much weaker than the flame mage.
However, his current intelligence attributes are too low and his spell level is not high. It would be strange if he beats high.
After the dog kowtower fell to the ground, Wang Mo got his first experience after his rebirth. It took only more than twenty seconds for a level 1 dog kowtower. The five-man team was killed. It only took ten points of experience for each person, and upgrading required two thousand points of experience. The difficulty can be imagined.
Faith piously cleaned up what the dog-headed man exploded. He took out the sweat-condensed candle on the dog-headed man's body. The light of this candle is very bright and durable. After ignition, it can allow everyone within a radius of fifteen yards to obtain a visual effect of +1.
However, if you don’t go to a deep cave or a dungeon, this thing is useless. It’s best to sell it to the store to exchange for a few copper plates.
Except for Wang Mo, everyone else bought some bandages and food to a higher degree. After sitting on the ground eating and drinking, he recovered his health and mana, the team continued to go on the road.
They walked a thousand feet into the gravel wasteland along the southeast direction, and stopped and stopped along the way. When they met about two dog-headed people, they would stop and lead them to kill them. It was easy to go up from level one to level two. Wang Mo also patiently followed them to kill monsters and increase their experience. His performance was quite normal. As the way, the experience bar also increased by half.
There are other players around who are killing monsters, and they dare not attract too many at once. When encountering more than three kobolds, two teams usually need to cooperate to lead and kill them separately. Although these kobolds are very strong, there are too many players. They have seen countless kobolds' corpses in just a short period of time.
At the end of each battle, the other four people in the team would eat bread and drink water to recover, with Wang Mo being the exception. It was not that he didn't want to buy food and bandages, but after purchasing two spells and mage swords, he really had no money. However, his faith and piousness saw his difficulties and gave him two water bags and a dozen bread.
After dealing with another group of dog-headed men, Wang Mo looked at the small map and said that it was not far from that place. He was careful that he could still walk through such a little road.
"Sorry, my mission location has arrived, I have to leave the team and do the mission first." While the four people were sitting on the ground to recover, Wang Mo said, "He had no need to hide it at all. Each player could receive more or less several tasks, some of which were not all about killing monsters and collecting things. There were too many strange tasks.
"Oh? What task can be shared?" Ai Duanqingshen showed an interesting look. The thief was obviously not a scheming person and said bluntly.
Faith looked at him with devout words, and knew that such questions were generally unquestionable.
"It's just a small task, which allowed me to find a missing NPC, which is a single-player task that cannot be shared." Wang Mo said with a smile.
"Do we need to wait for you to come back here?" Xin Xiansheng raised his head and said. Although the cooperation was not long, such a short time of team formation was quite smooth. He also felt a little favorable to this mage player he accidentally met.
"No need, that NPC will take me back to the town. You can clean it up first. Maybe I will team up with you to upgrade after completing the mission." Wang Mo looked at the distance and said, of course, this was perfunctory. After completing the mission, he was directly upgraded to level 2. Why are you going to kill?
"Okay, I wish you a smooth mission." Faith said with a pious smile, "Let's kill the monsters here first. Be careful with the four people, and you can also kill the lonely kobolds. Just go and do the mission."
Wang Mo nodded, thinking in his heart that his faith character is indeed so kind, so he chose to leave the team.
"System prompt: Player magic melody leaves the team."
After saying goodbye to the four people from the Cross Rose Team, Wang Mo sorted out the mage's robe. Although he did not have the ability to survive in the wild, he could still identify the direction. He found the east and walked over there.
"Captain, what mission do you think he is going to do?" The only "outsider" in the team left. The love-breaking wounded immediately couldn't help asking faith piously. Although there were many strange tasks, there were definitely not many tasks that needed to go deep into the gravel wasteland one-quarter mile to do. He was quite curious.
"Who knows, love is broken, next time you need to change your problem, always ask about other people's secrets, this means you don't care about the melody, if you are someone else, I'm afraid you will directly fight you." Faith piously shook his head, then frowned.
"Hehe, you are used to being curious." Ai Duanqing shrank his neck, lowered his head and played with the dagger in his hand.
After the four-person team recovered, they stood up and continued to walk forward to find the lonely kobold.
After leaving the team, Wang Mo continued to walk eastward. The journey was very smooth. He did not encounter a kobold or even a player. Not long after, he found a tall figure far away in a pile of rocks.
That is the ogre bodyguard Shart. This guy is almost twice as tall as Wang Mo. He is more than ten feet tall. He is wide and covered with thick and strong flesh. He is leaning against the rocks and sighing. Although the ogre is greedy and cruel, he is stupid and honest. He rarely betrays his employer as long as he collects money. If he changes to an ordinary human bodyguard, he will run away with a commission at this time.
Wang Mo walked straight into the pile of rocks and came to Schalt. The tall ogre was sitting on the ground taller than Wang Mo. He looked at the little human dwarf in front of him curiously and gasped for two breaths.
"Shart, your employer Mogot asked me to take you back to find him, and he will be waiting for you in Slandra Town." Wang Mo came to the ogre and spoke directly. The mage was born to be proficient in multiple languages. Although he didn't know the ogre language, he could still speak the common language in the mainland.
"Employer?" Ogre Shart opened his eyes wide, and a happy expression appeared on his hideous face. He stood up against a huge stone, but soon the expression on his face gradually changed, turning into a frightening hideous expression.
"Weak human, you are lying!" Schalt roared and waved his fist, but had not attacked yet, but just roared at Wang Mo, his eyes turned red, "You don't have a token from your employer... don't... don't want to deceive... Schalt!"
The ogre's words were intermittent, obviously not very skilled in the common language of the mainland. His muscles swelled up, his eyes turned red, and he looked quite scary.
If the player who accidentally receives this task comes to find Schalt, he will definitely suffer. The ogre Schalt will kill the player and then rush to Slandra Town suspiciously. At this time, the cunning and treacherous goblin merchant will appear at the exit of the town. He can take Schalt away without paying a penny.
All of this is a trap designed by the goblin merchant Mogoth himself. He deliberately did not give the player his token, so that he could find Schalt without paying a little price. Most players who received this task would eventually curse and hide the NPC cheating father, but they were helpless. In the legend of Carlando, there was a task trap, but he was just accidentally.
There are only two ways to avoid this situation. One way is to use absolute force to defeat Schalt and drive him back to Slandra Town. At this time, the goblin merchant has to pay the player a lot of experience and only a little money left. Then, in order to make up for his losses, he will issue a follow-up mission and ask the player to help him retrieve the lost goods in the wasteland. After finding them, he can get more rewards.
Another method is that a player accidentally discovered in his previous life. The rookie received the task with a mage sword. After finding Schalt, the low-IQ ogre mistakenly thought the mage sword as the employer's personal sword, and thus obediently returned to Slandra Town with the rookie. After finding the goblin, the goblin could only pay and issue subsequent tasks.
Later, the rookie posted the guide to the forum and became popular in a short period of time. It became the fastest way for newcomers born in Slandra to level 2. After completion, they could also receive a large amount of remuneration. The price of all this was just about an hour of hard work and the price of four silver coins.
Wang Mo thought he could not deal with the ogre bodyguard who was up to level 15, so he prepared a mage sword before he came.
"Wait! Big man, who said I don't have a token? Look at what this is!" Wang Mo calmly took out the mage's sword from his backpack and shook it in front of the ogre's eyes.
The ogre Sharte was obviously stunned, and his red eyes gradually calmed down. He looked at the mage sword in Wang Mo's hand with some excitement, and said vaguely: "It's the sword of the Mogoth employer...human...take me to find the employer..."
"Of course!" Wang Mo put away his sword with satisfaction and received a system prompt.
"System prompt: Found Ogre Shart: 1/1 (completed)"
"Follow me, big man!" Wang Mo greeted the ogre Shart, then took the lead in walking in front and walked towards the town of Slandra. The ogre Shart scratched his head and followed behind with huge steps.
In this process, with the support of the ogre Shart, Wang Mo could almost be rampant here. Those first-level kowtowers did not even dare to challenge Shart's majesty. When Wang Mo saw those kowtowers running away in scatter, he even felt sorry for him that it would be great if they rushed up and were killed by Shart, and he could get experience.
Along the way, Wang Mohu walked in front of Schalt with a powerful force. He hid his name and walked with the ogre Schalt, which led to the players he met on the road even treating him as an NPC. Some players even tried to come up and see if there were any tasks. His expression remained unchanged and ignored, and just walked forward.
Under such circumstances, they quickly returned to Slandra Town, looking away from the entrance of the town, the figure of the goblin merchant appeared in his sight, and Wang Mo could vaguely see that the guy's face was obviously a little surprised and surprised.
"Grass! Look! Ogre!" A player passing by the entrance of the town was about to go to the Chenxi Square to form a team when he suddenly accidentally discovered the tall figure on the distant horizon. After staring in confusion, he jumped up as if his tail was burned and exclaimed.
Players who were active near the exit of Slandra Town looked up and found the ogre.
"Damn! There are really ogres! What's the situation? Hidden mission or monsters attack the player's settlement?"
"Day, how much level is this guy? Why can't I see his level?"
"You're two! Ogres are at least level 10 monsters, it's weird if you can see them! Do you think you have divine insight!"
Players near the entrance of the town stopped to watch. They were not afraid of monsters attacking the players' settlement. The militia in the town were at least at level 20. Of course, they were not afraid of this ogre. They were just curious about how an ogre appeared here.
Of course, Wang Mo expected this situation. He had no money to buy a travel cloak that covered his identity, but he had a way to deal with it. In order not to be surrounded by players like national treasures, he began to use "magic tricks". This time he was lucky and successfully used it once.
There was a little blue light flashing on Wang Mo's fingers. The collar of his apprentice robe was rapidly extended, and a not-so-awk-even awkward hood was extended. He covered the hood on his head, lowered his head and hid his face in the shadow, successfully concealing his identity.
Magic tricks are like the stealth of a thief. They are the most basic and useful skill of an arcane mage. He is the key to the arcane mage's wishes and is widely used. You can use him to make unfit equipment quite compatible, or you can dye white clothes black, or you can keep you clean and fresh after thirty days without taking a bath. As long as your arcane mastery and mysterious knowledge level is sufficient, you can do everything you want.
Although with Wang Mo's first-level arcane mastery and mysterious knowledge, as long as a high-level player uses his skills, he can easily see through such a bad trick, whether it is dispersed or the Eye of God, Wang Mo just calculated that it is impossible for someone to reach the second level to learn the simplest insight skills at the primary level to dare to do this.
However, after receiving the reward this time, he will first buy a travel cloak.
"Hey? Look, there seems to be a human in front of that ogre!" As the distance got closer, the thieves and hunters with higher vision attributes finally discovered this, and they exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! Is there someone, is it a player?" More and more players discovered Wang Mo and they began to talk.
"It's npc. This guy is wearing a hood and can't see his face clearly..."
Wang Mo quickly approached the entrance of Slandra Town with the ogre. In order to conceal his failure in the trap, the goblin Mogoth had already changed into a happy expression, although it looked a little reluctant. This thin goblin also aroused the curiosity of some players. Some people tried to go up and find some tasks, but the goblin ignored him.
At the entrance of the town, Goblin Mogoth greeted the "heroic" adventurer he commissioned and his bodyguard Schalt.
"Ah! Shart, you idiot, where have you gone? Leaving your employer and running away is not something a qualified ogre bodyguard should do. You elm head!" Mogot jumped up and scolded as soon as he saw Shart, with an unscrupulous expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
Wang Mo stood aside, looking at Shalt's hideous face with shame, the players next to him stepped aside and looked at this scene curiously. Due to Shalt's majesty, he did not dare to come up because of Shalt's majesty, because if they took the initiative to provoke trouble, Shalt would not be punished by the town militia to kill them.
Goblin Mogot scolded him for a while, and Schalt kept accepting the lesson of his employer timidly. Finally, Goblin closed his mouth with an unsatisfactory look, turning his head to Wang Mo who was silent on the side with an unnatural look.
"Well... My respected adventurer, thank you for finding this idiot for me. I should have paid you a large amount of remuneration... But in fact, I only have these pitiful silver coins. If you feel unsatisfied, please help me find the goods scattered on the gravel wasteland... I brought those things from the City of Commerce, but they were lost in the chaos. If you can help me find them, I am willing to pay you a gold coin... No! The reward for two gold coins." The goblin merchant was thinking about what to say to make him pay a little less. He hesitantly issued a second mission to Wang Mo.
"System prompt: Whether to accept the task 'goblin merchant's goods'."
accept!
Just as Wang Mo accepted it, the experience value of the previous task completed entered his attribute bar. Wang Mo quickly snatched more than a dozen pitiful silver coins from the goblin merchant's hand without hesitation, tightened his hood and ran into the town as if he was escaping, and even used the sprint to accelerate and knocked away a thief player.
At this moment, the upgraded golden light suddenly rose from his feet!
