"Bite!"
Special Mission - "Imperial Edict" Delivered
Quest Description: Seraphina has a very important item that needs to be delivered to Dragonborn Village. Escort her safely and convey her "message" correctly to receive a reward.
Task Requirements: Priority will be given to those with higher strength and physique, those with higher trust levels with NPCs in Dragonborn Village, and those who live closer to the bank. This task can only be completed by one person.
Quest Reward: 5 Silver Coins
Another special mission?
At this moment, the hundred players in the castle and White Wax Town looked up from their busy work and began to read the mission description that had suddenly appeared in front of them, but their reactions were not the same.
White Wax Town:
"Only 5 silver? Brothers, let's keep running the dungeon! I've got my eye on that archer's arm, everyone help me get two more!"
"The drop rate on easy difficulty is too low, and there are two drops already. I wonder how long it will take to complete."
"We can't beat ordinary opponents either, so what's there to say..."
"Then I'll take one too..."
"I want one too."
Shattered Castle:
"Brothers, we have a new mission."
"The reward is a bit meager..."
"Dude, you're already looking down on five silver coins? Did you get a little cocky after making some money from a long quest?"
"Mind your own business? I'm quite comfortable with being covered in dust right now, so I'm not going to deliver food for the Dragon People."
"It's okay, buddy. Running around with a bucket is just a matter of time; the sooner you familiarize yourself with the routes, the easier it will be to join the food delivery industry."
"Are you going to curse me again?"
"..."
Thanks to the recent conclusion of a large-scale, long-term quest, players are not short of money for the time being, which is also partly due to having money but nowhere to spend it.
In short, most players weren't interested in this temporary quest. The few who were interested were either too far away or their main attributes weren't strength and constitution. Coupled with the trust requirement, the quest ultimately fell to [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ].
Seraphina sat behind the counter, her eyes scanning the players in front of her:
"You have the aura of Dragonborn, but you are not Dragonborn. That's strange."
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] Standing in front of the bank counter, he wondered why accepting a task had turned into a "political vetting."
Seraphina thought for a moment and then suddenly said:
"I remember now, you're the guy who told me last time that you wanted to become Dragonborn. So it was you, no wonder..."
"It seems you've achieved some results. Here, I'll leave this to you. Make sure you deliver it for me."
"Here's your payment, take it."
Perhaps because she had once transformed into a half-dragon, Seraphina spoke to [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] in a more lenient tone than the average player, and even opted for prepayment, showing no concern whatsoever that the deliveryman would abscond with the money.
Perhaps this is the change brought about by building good relationships, or rather, increasing trust?
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] He walked along, thinking, carrying that large roll of yellowed papers.
Among players, his wealth was already limited, and now he has become an investor in [ Steady and Sure Biology Laboratory ] as an experimental subject, which has made his already meager situation even worse.
Therefore, there is practically no trust between him and Seraphina, but he does have some connection with the Dragonborn Village...
Thinking about this, [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] probably understood what was going on—building good relations with the Dragonborn was equivalent to indirectly building good relations with Seraphina, which made perfect sense. It seems that the game had put thought into this aspect of its design.
However, the thought of going to Dragonborn Village made him a little apprehensive. He hoped the village chief wouldn't bring up his daughter again, since he wasn't currently thinking about dating a character from a game.
Besides... this isn't my original body, it just feels a little strange...
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] Looking at the wilderness before him, he suddenly realized that it was about five kilometers away from Dragonborn Village.
This is not a short distance, and if we want to complete the task faster, we'll need to use some tricks.
As he pondered, [ the Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] suddenly thought of a question:
There is occasional contact between the Upperstream Village and Midstream Village, so the Midstream Village should already know about Ed's victory and the Second Holy See's triumph, but the Dragonborn Village...
His last visit there was to inquire about how to become Dragonborn, and it's been almost a week. Those people probably still don't know that the castle has already achieved a great victory.
It seems I've made the right choice in accepting this mission. Not only do I need to deliver what Seraphina wants, but I should also publicize this great victory.
What could be a better sign of a perfect victory than the fact that this newly minted Dragonborn has survived?
No.
He put Seraphina's package into his pocket, Lion Hidden in the Eyes, he took out a Alienation disposable syringe from the other side of his coat.
He rolled up his sleeves, patted the muscles in his arms, and then, following the techniques taught by [ Evergreen Tree ], quickly and accurately inserted the syringe, slowly pushing in the reddish medicine.
A surge of power began to coursing through his body. Although the dosage was only one-third of the previous one, he could still feel the burning pain emanating from his internal organs.
Having learned from his previous experience, he was noticeably more skilled at channeling power this time.
A dozen seconds later, a young Dragonborn appeared on the wilderness.
His height and build had not increased to an absurd degree as last time, and his clothes showed no obvious tears or burns.
The scales beneath his skin shimmered with a crimson sheen, and the two horns on his head resembled two torches in the dark night.
"Call."
He exhaled a scorching breath, [ with Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] casually crushed a disposable plant-based syringe, and twisted his joints, making a series of cracking sounds.
After making a rather childish starting motion, he began to sprint across the desolate wilderness in early autumn.
Dragonborn Village, outer wall.
The two Dragonborn guards continued their tedious patrol, as it was still daytime and there was no danger whatsoever.
Just as the two were lamenting how mundane their lives were, one of them suddenly pointed to the wilderness to the west:
"Look what that is!"
"It can run so fast? It looks like a person, but I'll keep checking."
"Wait a minute, why does it feel like Dragonborn to me?"
"Impossible! Who in our village looks like that?"
"Holy crap, it's an alien Dragonborn!"
"Quickly notify the village chief!"
[The arrival of foreign Dragonborn ] is one of the major issues that the Dragonborn Village needs to pay attention to, as their great master says that He has only this one clan in the village.
Therefore, in theory, all foreign Dragonborn are descendants of other dragons, and dragons have never represented peace, not even with other dragons.
