Chapter 22 Come here, polish my spear

Chapter 22 Come here, polish my spear

After some consideration, the last dragonborn decided to accept Anvis' invitation.

Isn't it just becoming an NPC's follower? For the sake of a hidden mission, what does this little thing matter? [System prompt: You have become Anvis's follower. ]

"Very well, what's your name?"

When asking this question, Anvis's expression was a little subtle.

He actually remembered this ID. In his previous life, he was a professional mage player famous for his cool moves. He was nicknamed [Blue-Eyed Dragonborn] and was said to be the former captain of Baiguang Esports.

I just didn't expect that his character's name was so sexy.

"I……"

The elf was suddenly speechless at this very normal question, and he began to regret not following the system's advice.

"Laboratory Dragonborn? Are you a slave who escaped from the laboratory of a certain spellcaster?"

But what he didn't expect was that the pink-haired girl suddenly frowned and blurted out his character's name.

"Or do you actually have no name?"

The noble boy in front of him also shook his head, and looked at him sympathetically with his clear blue eyes. The pity in his eyes was so obvious that the elf couldn't help but feel angry.

In the ears of Anvis and Erica, the elf did not pause, but directly said his name.

But what shocked the young nobleman was that, in his eyes, the elf's lips only opened briefly, and the lip movements did not match what he heard at all! "Then, your name will be Rivers."

[System prompt: Avis changed your name to [Rivers]]

Avis turned to Erica.

"I remember you had a short spear in your ring, didn't you? Give me one."

The girl curiously took out a short spear and handed it to Avis. Avis took the spear and handed it to the elf in front of him who was stunned by the system prompt.

"Well, now for your first task. Come here, polish my spear—

If you polish it to my satisfaction, I will give you this spear as a reward."

[System prompt: You have triggered the task 'Polish']

[Item Level: E]

[Task introduction: Don't tell me you have to wipe it all night too. ]

[Task requirements: Continuously polish the spear until Avis is satisfied]

[Reward: 1000 experience points, Black Steel Spear]

What the hell kind of mission is this?

The last dragonborn took the spear expressionlessly and greeted the plot developer warmly in his heart.

Forget it, since this is a piece of fine equipment, I have to be patient...

………

The game props in "Mysterious Era" are divided into the following categories according to their quality, from low to high: inferior, ordinary, excellent, magic, master, heirloom, and epic.

The corresponding colors are: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red.

An excellent weapon is already a very good equipment in the early stage of the game.

After polishing the spear for two hours, Anvis was finally satisfied with the elf's work, gave him the spear, and then threw him another task.

【Drain cleaning】

[Quest requirements: Bring back the right ears of 100 drain rats to prove your bravery]

[Mission deadline: five days]

[Reward: 20,000 experience points]

Erica looked at the green-haired elf's receding back with a complicated expression. She wanted to say something, but because of her status, she couldn't speak.

"Curious why I would do this?"

Seeing the curiosity in his little maid's pink eyes, Avis smiled mischievously, "Secret."

Ignoring Erica's helpless look, Avis stopped and stood still, analyzing the information obtained from this test with a deep gaze.

He can indeed use various items as rewards to issue tasks to players. This behavior is essentially no different from recruiting other natives, except that the player has an additional visual panel.

The only difference is that players can get experience rewards from each task, and the amount of the reward seems to be related to the difficulty of the task.

Players are a great help to him in his current situation.

The vast majority of players are in the Chaos Camp, and profit is their top priority, which happens to be the advantage of his camp.

Moreover, most of these players who obtained the internal testing qualifications will become the big names and trendsetters in the player community in the future.

Their behavior and choices often have an impact on the entire player group.

All you need to do is guide them, tie them to your chariot with benefits, and make them feel a sense of camp identification.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then when their own camp is in crisis in the future, they will naturally do their best to defend their own interests.

Anvis made an agreement with the last dragonborn that if the elf proved his bravery to him and returned here in five days, he could receive the next task.

He has his own things to do and can't always stay here as a quest NPC.

Avis has already thought about what to let the elves do next.

With the 100x experience buff from the deleted beta test, five days was enough for him to reach level 20 or so, becoming a qualified tool man, just enough to be thrown into the caravan as an apprentice guard.

In the early stages of the game, following a caravan was almost the only way for players to travel to other towns, which coincided with the needs of beta test players to open maps.

The caravan's destination this time is the imperial capital. It will pass through many large and small cities along the way, as well as a series of systematic training tasks that will allow it to upgrade quickly without having to worry about the elves rejecting it.

Although the caravan was assigned to Duke Carrot, Anvis only got the caravan itself. The high-ranking family guards who were protecting the caravan were actually temporarily loaned to him by the family.

His current move of recruiting players can be fully explained by the reason of cultivating his own team.

Through the elf's game panel, Avis also learned the current time in the 'real world'.

The first day of the internal test was exactly three days after he traveled through time.

After seeing off the elf, the master and servant went to the caravan encampment in the city of Karlas.

It was a wide area near the west city gate, where a large number of caravans coming from afar stopped to rest and replenish supplies.

They brought rare trade goods from all over the continent to Karlas, such as Parthia's silk fabrics and handmade cashmere carpets, the gemstone jewelry and exquisite snuff bottles from the desert capital, and ancient stone carvings and handicrafts excavated from ancient ruins cities...

These bulk commodities will be sold to the local Chamber of Commerce. They are the favorite commodities of the local upper class and nobles, and they are in short supply. As long as they are successfully transported to Karras, they will be sold at a crazy good price! At the same time, the caravan members will also sell some rare commodities privately to make some extra money for themselves.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone accepts, and the caravan leader simply turns a blind eye to it.

All merchants who know this will send people to wait here, so that when a new caravan arrives, they can rush to buy the private goods of the caravan members as soon as possible.

Those are all real first-hand good things!

Anvis received news early on that a caravan from the Distant Kingdom Federation would arrive in the city of Karlas today.

As the uncrowned king of the North, the direct descendant of the Olivendi family was naturally treated differently from ordinary merchants. The family's staff had already cleared the area in advance so that Anvis could choose the goods first.

That caravan also received a notice that an important person was coming to purchase an item, and everyone rushed to put out all their goods, praying to the gods and the moon in the hope that Avis would be interested in their things.

The family messenger who informed the caravan had already announced: No matter what Anvis chose, the Olivendi family would buy it at ten times the original price! As Anvis looked at it, his eyes were attracted by an exquisite silver cage.

There was a blue-gray kitten in the cage, staring at him with a pair of bright blue-green eyes. Its two round white paws were restlessly scratching the cage, which was very cute.
