Chapter 182
The four camps to which players belong each have their own strengths, weaknesses, and special attributes.
As a player of the Knight of Light, not only will you not be infected by the plague, you will also receive many generous benefits.
As for werewolf players, in addition to having their strength doubled, they are also the natural enemies of witches and civilians.
However, civilians will be protected by the Knights of Light. In addition, all civilians are also endowed with the only existing universal light nature.
This means that even if they do nothing and just stay alive, the system will give them a fixed amount of league points.
The league points of civilian players are calculated on a daily basis and distributed uniformly at 8:00 am every day, but today is not included.
After all, they entered the game at 9:30 in the evening, which was not yet the time when points were distributed to civilian players.
Otherwise, the players rushing to the top of the list at this moment would probably all be ordinary players.
There is a big difference between the Spring League and the Autumn League. There are no honor points or team points in the Spring League, only league points.
League points are very difficult to obtain. Unless you complete the tasks assigned by the plot NPC or kill players from the enemy camp, you can get a small amount of league points.
It is not like the Autumn Joint Tournament, where there are thousands or tens of thousands of reward points. Every point obtained in the Spring Tournament represents the death of a player.
When a player's personal league points reach 50 or above, bounty points will appear on him, and the bounty points will increase as the player's points increase.
This means that as long as you hunt down a high-scoring player, you can get extra bounty points from that player, thereby encouraging competition between players.
The biggest difference between the Spring and Autumn Leagues is the settlement method between the Spring and Autumn Leagues.
The spring season adopts an equal points system, while the autumn season adopts a total points system.
A team's final score is the average of all members' scores.
Even if the team has many affiliated teams, the final score is the average of the main team and the affiliated teams.
This means that in the spring season, having more affiliated teams is no longer a plus, but a burden that will hinder the team's performance.
Therefore, Yitu restricted the participation of other affiliated teams of Handian and only brought Huasan's former team, Xingheng.
And just now, after reading the information columns of other teams, Yitu realized that except for the Plum King's Night King's Lieqi, which still brought four affiliated teams, the Diamond King's Berserker and the Heart King's Chi Que did not bring any affiliated teams.
It was precisely because the Night King's affiliated team had too many members that they were naturally assigned to the civilian camp by the system, and for a moment they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
The Madman was assigned to the werewolf camp, on the same side as Jiang Hanyu's Demon Fang.
Chi Que of the Red Heart King belongs to the Knights of Light and can barely work in the same place with the second-ranked Black Crow Team.
In the remaining witch camp, in addition to the members of Handian and Xingheng, there is also a non-throne player team, Feiye, ranked in the top ten.
Fei Ye's current ranking is still ahead of Han Dian, ranking sixth.
Yitu hadn't met them yet, but he had already anticipated that their relationship would not be very pleasant.
Because according to the current game background setting, the only ongoing story mission is called: The Final Entrustment of the Witch Clan Chief.
Yitu didn't have the key to the door lock. Just when he was wondering whether to use violence to open the door directly, he heard light footsteps behind him.
Under the dim candlelight, there was an infinitely elongated figure, with a pointed witch hat almost poking through the top of the head.
"What are you doing here? You're not in your right mind."
It was a wrinkled woman's face, wearing a dark red robe, with a hunched back, and a rather rude tone.
The system popped up a prompt message very timely. Yitu took a quick look and found that the woman was one of the elders of the witch clan, named Kayla.
Kayla is 36 years old this year, but she looks as haggard as someone in her sixties or seventies.
She took out the key to the iron gate from her pocket and spoke to Yi Tu with shaking hands, her tone still very unfriendly.
"Don't you know that the chief is gathering the tribesmen and has something important to say?"
"What a bunch of dirty things that only know how to eat!" Kayla lowered her head and kicked away several of the rats that were hiding under Yitu's robe.
"Didn't they lead the way for you? When did the witch whistle lose its power over these idiots?"
Hearing the name of the witch whistle, Yitu's heart moved, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Elder Kayla, I heard... that the patriarch is dying, so he summoned us with a witch whistle. Is this true?"
Kaila raised her eyelids and sneered:
"Since you already have the answer in your heart, why do you deliberately ask more questions?"
"Come on, you idiot who panics at the slightest sign of trouble! What are you waiting for?"
Despite Kayla's repeated ridicule, Yitu's emotions remained calm. After all, he couldn't argue with a plot NPC.
"Hello, Elder Kayla, can we wait a little longer? It seems like two more companions are coming over."
Yitu looked at the movement of the other members, Shen Yueshu and Chu Xiyin were approaching.
"Huh? How did you know?" Kayla turned around in confusion.
"Because I heard the sound of mice." Yitu made up an excuse.
"You're lying, I didn't hear anything!" Kayla muttered.
At this time, the figures of Shen Yueshu and Chu Xiyin finally appeared one after another.
Shen Yueshu first saw Yitu, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and then she saw the plot NPC Kaila standing beside her, and immediately changed her words:
"I guess we're not too late."
Kayla snorted, opened the iron door and walked in.
"Do you know why the number of us witches is decreasing? It's because of you stupid, ignorant guys like you!"
"Although the Knights of Light disdain to dig holes in the ground, those crazy civilians will stab us to death just for a bite of food!"
"And you! How dare you disobey the elders' warnings and run around everywhere! I really want to turn you all into obedient mice!"
"At least, witch whistles are always effective against mice, especially..." As they walked, Keira suddenly turned around and grinned at the three of them, saying nervously:
"Those incredibly strong ratmen!"
Yitu couldn't help but frown. He and Shen Yueshu looked at each other, and none of them responded to Kaila's words.
According to the current story background, the chief of the witch tribe is old and about to die. Before she dies, she will hand over the witch whistle to the descendant she is most satisfied with and trusts.
Through the systematic introduction, it was not difficult for them to know the function of the witch whistle.
A regular whistle summons 10 to 100 rats, a short whistle summons 5 to 30 giant rats, and a long whistle summons 1 to 4 wererat.
Even though they still don't know how powerful the so-called ratmen are, there is only one witch whistle. Instead of giving it to others, it is safer to hold it in their own hands.
Yitu knew this clearly, and the other captains of the witch camp naturally understood it as well.
Following Keira forward, we passed through dozens of underground passages that looked like a maze. The witches had set up too many confusing settings here.
Until they came to a stone wall with scars from being gnawed, Kayla kicked the group of mice that followed her obediently.
"Ho! Go! Everyone, go open the door!"
At her command, the mice began to chirp non-stop and climbed up through the cracks in the wall.
Their crawling is not irregular; on the contrary, they move forward one by one along a fixed route, as if they have psychic powers.
The wet claws left one footprint after another on the bricks. No one knew what mechanism was hidden in it. After the mice crawled along the unique track, a short protruding brick suddenly popped out in the middle.
Kayla slapped those guys down with her sleeves, and the moment she reached out to pull out the short brick, the stone wall opened to both sides with a "bang".
Yitu looked around and saw that the simple hall was filled with people wearing wizard robes like them, some of them were players, and some were NPCs.
"Kayla, why are you here just now!" A short man ran up and whispered:
"Your sister is crazy! She actually disobeyed the witch tribe's agreement and wants to give away the witch whistle reward!"
Kayla's expression changed, and she hurried over with the man.
The remaining three people, Yitu, quickly found their teammates and sat in the corner.
"Why are you three so late? Fei Ye's people arrived early." Xu Heng asked in a low voice.
Yitu was also helpless, "The birthplace is random, bad luck... Who did you come in with?"
He looked at Song Jingchen and Huasan and asked.
Fu Heng pointed at the group of people sitting on the right, which was clearly also a team.
"The four of us were randomly assigned to the Silver Cat Team. A special NPC brought us in."
Yitu nodded, his eyes met with a man with a scar at the corner of his eye, but quickly looked away again.
The captain of the Silver Cats, Wei Wu.
Silver Cat ranks 67th on the team rankings, which is not high, and it almost never takes the initiative to conflict with other teams.
Yitu only had the most basic understanding of them, and his attention was quickly drawn to the elderly woman sitting in the chief seat in the hall.
That was Jacqueline, the leader of the witch clan, and hanging on her chest was the witch whistle, which was only seven or eight centimeters long.
The witch's whistle is made of rat bones and petrified claws. Whenever a rat plague breaks out, the witch will use this whistle to move the rats to other places.
But as history evolved, civilians' misunderstanding of witches deepened and they became demonized again, causing witches to become evil beings that everyone wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.
Standing on Jacqueline's right is Kayla, one of the elders, and Kayla is Jacqueline's younger sister.
After the two sisters had a conversation, even though Kayla was furious, she still couldn't change her sister's decision.
"Today..." Jacqueline's voice sounded very old, and her throat seemed to have been polished by sandpaper.
"I've gathered everyone here because I have something very important to tell you."
Jacqueline used up all her strength and forced a tired smile.
"As you can see, I am approaching the end of my life, embracing death and reuniting with my beloved brother and son."
Since only witches with the purest bloodline can blow the witch whistle, the witch tribe has always married close relatives for many years.
Therefore, the average life expectancy of the witches is very short, only thirty or forty years old. Although most of them do not have obvious disabilities, their life expectancy is greatly reduced.
Jacqueline's husband, who was also her and Kayla's biological brother, died in a manhunt ten years ago.
"Before I leave, I should pass on the witch whistle according to tradition, hoping that the witch community will have a bright future."
At this point, Jacqueline showed a hint of self-mockery on her face:
"But I think the witch tribe will no longer have any future."
"What awaits us is only darkness, rats, famine, and plague."
"The King of Adrian, the soldiers of Adrian, they firmly believed that it was us who brought disaster upon them, that it was we who sowed the red flowers on the skin of the common people!"
"What a ridiculous statement!"
"I no longer pray that the king of this country can reform himself, and that the nobles of Adrien can accept the existence of foreigners."
"My heart is failing, but my eyes are burning with vengeance!"
"Yes, that's right. Before I die, I want to take one last look at Leslie Burke's sword, the sword of light that killed my husband ten years ago and my son ten years later!"
"Who can kill Leslie Burke? Who can take back the Sword of Light? Let it and its owner's soul dwell in the filthy underground, being eaten by rats, and never be reborn!"
After Jacqueline shouted this, her cloudy eyes widened so much that they almost popped out of their sockets.
Her hands tightly grasped the witch whistle on her chest, twitching as if she was about to die.
"Whoever takes back... that sword can get... my... witch whistle."
As soon as Jacqueline finished speaking, a system task prompt popped up in front of everyone.
[Witch Mission 1: Retrieve the Sword of Light signed by Leslie Burke and obtain the Witch Whistle from Jacqueline, the Witch Clan leader.]
[Task Completion Reward: 5 League Points]
[Please note: This mission is a mandatory mission for non-players, and the time limit is 24 hours.]
[During this period, players are not allowed to attack plot NPCs or forcibly seize the witch whistle. Otherwise, they will receive a warning and have their league points deducted!]
After reading the last tip, Yitu looked at his current league points, 0.
If I attack the plot NPC, then...is it very likely that my league points will become negative?
Of course, he was just thinking about it and didn't really want to do it.
After Jacqueline was taken away by other NPCs, only they, the players, were left in the hall.
Yi Tu was just about to take Xu Heng and the others away when someone suddenly blocked their way.
Fei Ye's men did not remove the team logo floating above their heads. It flashed brightly three times before disappearing automatically.
The man in the lead was wearing a pair of black gloves and walked to a distance of about one meter from Yitu with his hands crossed, then stopped.
"Hello, I've heard a lot about you, Queen of Hearts."
"I'm Feiye's captain, Shen Shi."
Yitu raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Shi, a man with an overly delicate appearance.
"Hello, Captain Feiye, you're blocking my way right now... obviously you have something else to say?"
Yitu's tone is casual, but if you listen carefully, you can hear some impatience.
Chen Shi was obviously a little stunned by his attitude. The Queen of Hearts seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
In fact, he quickly realized this and immediately expressed his attitude:
"I'm sorry, Feiye doesn't have any ill will towards Handian. Since we belong to the same camp, we can't say that we have a very pleasant time, but I think there should be no problem in basically getting along."
"Of course, the tasks issued by the system, I think..."
Yi Tu, who had already understood the meaning of his words, interrupted calmly:
"fair play."
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "This is naturally the best."
Yitu smiled at him, then took two steps forward and said softly:
"Don't worry, Captain Shen. Unless you're stupid, I don't think it will be Fei Ye's turn until we've dealt with the players from other factions..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi froze in place, but those people had already passed by and walked away.
"team leader!"
Shen Shi looked at the man's leaving back, his face darkening.
“It’s different.”
"What's different?" asked Fei Ye's team members.
Shen Shi shook his head, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.
"The mission only lasts 24 hours. As soon as tomorrow morning comes, we will go find Leslie Burke."
Here, Yitu brought Xu Heng and others back to the underground rat's nest where the witch lived. The room was very low and narrow, and only one room could be occupied by one person.
Xu Heng sighed beside him, "I thought things were bad enough in the Silent Realm, but the facts prove it, haha."
Because the room was too small and had no soundproofing, everyone else could hear what Xu Heng said. It was a real rat's nest.
"We must complete this witch mission and get the whistle." Shen Yueshu's mind was still on the mission. "Just now, in the hall, besides us and Xing Heng, there were seven other teams. The number of people is not small."
"The only real threat is Fei Ye, don't worry about the others." Huasan said lazily.
"Leslie Burke is an NPC. If we want to find him, we'll probably have to find a way to infiltrate the Knights of Light, or create unrest to lure them out," Song Jingchen analyzed.
"I'm afraid the former won't work, but the latter can still be tried. The only worry is that this task is not as simple as it seems." Chu Xiyin added.
"The Black Crow Team belongs to the Knights of Light." Ou Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
There are risks in obtaining the Witch Whistle, and the risk is most likely to involve a direct confrontation with the Knight of Light.
The attributes set by the game are very unfavorable to them, not to mention that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot down, and it is not the right time yet.
"No need to confront them head on. I can find Leslie Burke."
At this time, Yitu spoke lightly.
Shen Yueshu's heart moved, "Yitu, what are you going to do?"
Yitu grabbed the gray mouse that was squatting on top of his head, and pressed its soft belly. The little thing started squeaking non-stop.
He smiled. "Rats are everywhere."
That night, Yitu threw the mouse in his hand away, then slowly closed his eyes and lay down.
The little thing controlled by divine consciousness crawled very fast in the sewer, but this little mouse seemed not to be familiar with the terrain.
It took Yitu a long time to finally climb to the ground. There was no one in sight on the empty street.
Excellent.
The temple where the Knights of Light live stands out among a group of red-tiled buildings.
The golden palace was tall, majestic and magnificent. No one knew that a little mouse had sneaked in along the corner of the wall.
