"Sister Elena, is this the Barbarian warrior you can't forget? Wow, he's completely different from what I imagined. I never thought Barbarian could be so handsome!"
"Hehe, yeah, look at his muscles, they're really well-developed... No wonder he can walk fearlessly through the monster-infested wilderness all by himself!"
"Warrior, you must take good care of Elena, okay? She's the most beautiful and charming [ Flower of the Rogue ] in the camp, and also the strongest and most reliable magic archer... Hehe, you have no idea how worried Elena has been these past few days since she heard you were going to challenge the fallen paladin Grace Griswold in Hell Town alone. She even calls your name in her sleep!"
A group of young, beautiful Rogue, like blooming flowers, surrounded Sun Fei and Elena like sparrows, chattering and teasing them with ambiguous expressions and smiles.
Among them were even a few bolder young Loli who playfully walked over with giggles and reached out their cool little hands to touch Sun Fei's well-developed pectoral muscles and biceps. These cold-faced female warriors, who usually fought and bled to protect the demons in the [ Rogue Encampment ] and the wilderness, showed a rare mischievousness.
Surrounded by a group of beautiful women, Sun Fei was overwhelmed. He felt a series of dark lines cascading down his forehead like a waterfall, while Elena's delicate, fair face was also flushed. No wonder they say women are tigers. Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Sun Fei immediately grabbed Elena's hand and ran away, followed by a chorus of silvery laughter from the girls.
"I really envy Elena; that Barbarian warrior is such an upright fellow!"
"Yes, Elena is very lucky. It's rare to see such friendly adventurers."
"Hehe, if I were Elena, I'd make him my man right away..."
At the entrance of the mercenary tent, the girls watched the two walk away, their eyes filled with envy. In this world where even survival was difficult to guarantee, love was always a luxury. An honest and friendly adventurer like Sun Fei was the perfect dream lover in the hearts of many female Rogue, but most of them ended up as a farmer's wife, bearing the next generation for the camp.
The Barbarian is currently Sun Fei's highest-level character, boasting the strongest attack and defense. Sun Fei had long ago decided to focus on developing Barbarian Barbarian, leveling it up as quickly as possible to rapidly increase his own strength. Other classes, such as Mages and Paladins, are temporarily designated as support roles by Sun Fei.
Before officially venturing into the wilderness to kill monsters and level up, Sun Fei needed to make some preparations.
Because he damaged his Barbarian character's two-handed greatsword in the battle on the stone bridge in the real world while trying to cleave it, Sun Fei had to go to the female NPC blacksmith Charsi to buy equipment. This time, he spent 2,000 gold coins to buy a super two-handed greatsword with a damage value of 1-30. Its appearance was similar to the original damaged greatsword, but the maximum damage value was increased by 3 points. This was already the axe weapon with the highest damage value from the female blacksmith.
After purchasing the equipment, Sun Fei suddenly noticed a golden exclamation mark above the female NPC blacksmith Charsi's head. He was immediately struck by the thought that a new quest was available. So, Sun Fei tried to chat with the melancholy brown-haired girl, and sure enough, after about twenty seconds, he received a quest from Charsi to find a hammer in the [ Barracks ] that could be used to forge magical equipment.
After receiving the mission, we set off immediately.
After some planning and considering the quest map, Sun Fei decided to complete the third beginner quest triggered by his previous quest—killing the Countess of the [ Forgotten Tower ]—before fulfilling the female NPC blacksmith Charsi's request. He and the overjoyed Elena traveled to the [ Dark Wood ] via the Teleport magic circle at the [ Rogue Encampment ].
At this time, it was noon in the Diablo World, and surprisingly, it wasn't raining. Even the dark clouds that never seemed to dissipate had unexpectedly disappeared. The Sun was overhead, and its warm rays shone on the two of them, making them feel very comfortable.
Having chosen their direction and drunk Stamina Potion, the two of them, like a young couple eloping, ran wildly towards the [ Black Marsh ].
"Oh, right, Elena, you might need this bow..." During their run, the two slayed many monsters. Sun Fei suddenly remembered that he had obtained a golden piece of equipment last time, the [ Miserable Feather Short Bow ], which he had specially kept for Elena. He immediately took it out of his backpack and handed it to the beautiful mercenary.
This is a very light and delicate short bow, with a pale gold color. The curved bow body is engraved with mysterious and profound patterns, and a thin golden thread that emits a soft light connects the two ends of the bow body, exuding a faint magical power, just like a beautiful work of art.
A blush crept onto Elena's face.
The powerful archer lowered her head, revealing a rare, girlish demeanor. She gently took the short bow from Sun Fei's hand, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and said, "Thank you, sir."
"Uh... Elena, don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me by my name." Sun Fei was a little stunned by the beautiful mercenary's coquettish manner. After a moment of hesitation, he scratched his head and chuckled.
Elena: "Yes, Sun Fei."
Sun Fei: "..."
The task of strangling the countess is relatively simple.
The mission takes place in the Forgotten Tower within the Black Marsh. After entering the tower, one must descend five underground levels to find the Countess hidden within. Each level of the Forgotten Tower is filled with various monsters, including mini-bosses, making it quite challenging. Clearly, compared to the wasteland outside, this underground environment is more suitable for dark creatures. Sun Fei and Elena struggled immensely to reach the fifth underground level of the Forgotten Tower.
Sun Fei had made many plans: if things went wrong, he would immediately open Teleport to send Elena back to the [ Rogue Encampment ], and then continue to use his sneaky escape tactics to wear down the Countess. However, upon entering the fifth floor, Elena's shortbow unleashed a barrage of blue Ice Arrow. The Dark Countess, the chief boss of the [ Forgotten Tower ], hadn't even had time to unleash her own magic before being easily struck by Elena, her body covered in blue ice, making it difficult for her to move. Seeing this as a golden opportunity, Sun Fei charged forward, wielding his great axe. In a flash of cold light, the Dark Countess collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated.
"Holy crap, how could it be so easy?" Sun Fei was stunned.
He discovered that Elena's strength had increased beyond his expectations. Her attack power just now was comparable to that of an 8th-level magic archer. However, Sun Fei clearly remembered that when he last entered the Diablo World, this Valkyrie was only 5th-level. How could her strength have increased so quickly in such a short time?
Just as Sun Fei was lost in thought, another change occurred—
Suddenly, a burst of white lightning erupted from the countess's fallen corpse, causing the entire [ Forgotten Tower ] to tremble as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking. Then, a golden treasure chest suddenly appeared out of thin air, enveloped in a cloud of milky white light. With crisp 'swish, swish, swish' sounds, the chest, like a treasure bowl, continuously overflowed with gold coins...
"Holy crap, I'm rich this time!" Sun Fei's eyes were filled with gold coins.
Enveloped in a dazzling display of jewels, the entire hall was instantly covered with a vast expanse of glittering gold coins. The coins shimmered and swelled in immense numbers, so densely packed that from a distance it looked as if the floor were paved with gold bricks. The crisp, rustling sound was like heavenly music. The golden treasure chest emitted gold coins for a full twenty seconds before slowly disappearing.
Looking around, the entire hall floor was covered in gold coins.
Sun Fei turned to look at Elena and noticed that, just like many times before when he killed monsters, the native inhabitants of the Diablo World seemed completely oblivious to the dropped equipment rewards and the shocking scene from just moments ago. The beautiful mercenary acted as if nothing had happened, holding her longbow and vigilantly watching her surroundings. When she felt Sun Fei's gaze fall upon her, Elena's fair face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head, looking somewhat flustered.
Sun Fei was stunned by the mercenary's coquettish demeanor, and his heart fluttered.
He quickly bent down to pick up the equipment and gold coins from the ground.
To Sun Fei's slight disappointment, perhaps the countess felt that her death was too humiliating. As the chief boss of the [ Forgotten Tower ], she was killed without even releasing a small flame, so she didn't drop any good equipment. There were only a few ordinary blue equipment pieces on the ground, but there were quite a few gold coins. Sun Fei counted them and found that there were more than 5,000 of them.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Sun Fei checked the Barbarian ' current experience points.
He discovered that he was still about 50-60% away from reaching level 13, and an hour had already passed. Just as he had guessed, the more experience points were needed to level up, the slower the leveling speed became.
After defeating the Countess, Sun Fei and the beautiful mercenary Elena headed straight to their next mission location—the monastery in [ Tamoe Highlands ]—to complete the quest from the blacksmith NPC Charsi. This monastery was originally a sacred place where nuns and monks served God, but after being taken over by demons, it became a desolate Hell. It's worth mentioning that the lair of the ultimate boss of the entire newbie village [ Rogue Encampment ], the massacre of Sister Andariel, is hidden here.
