Chapter 405: The Development Plan for the Female Exploration Hero
"To obtain the quest items, follow the instructions below..."
Looking at the latest information that appeared in his eyes, Zhang Yang smiled silently. If he was a newbie, he would most likely be fooled.
How could he not know the nature of the Wanderer System or the Wanderer Camp? Everything he did was too smooth these past two days. He benefited from the fact that the demon blood could be enchanted and strengthened, so he didn't care about anything else.
However, the demon gold cannot be taken lightly, because its function is to summon and communicate with creatures from the outside world.
In other words, if he follows this prompt, there is a high probability that he will summon the real owner of the Wanderer Camp. What will happen then?
It's easy to tell with your toes that the cuckoo must have taken over the magpie's nest. The best possible ending is that he will become a wage earner again. Do you really think that it's a good thing for a system to fall from the sky when you reach middle age?
After thinking about it, Zhang Yang dismantled the altar and put everything into the fire. When the flames were burning vigorously, he put the demon gold in and began to chant at the same time - "In the name of Zhang Yang, the Lord of Qingming Realm, the founder of Tianjian Sect, the farmer of all realms, and the fisherman of all heavens, I communicate with the six major sequences and shuttle between reality and illusion. Those who are destined to be with me, come quickly and obey my orders."
Zhang Yang recited this spell three times in one breath, and then he stared at the demon gold in the flames. After more than ten seconds, the demon gold suddenly melted like jelly. Then someone took a straw and sucked it from the other side of the sky. In the blink of an eye, the jelly-like demon gold was consumed, and even the blazing fire was instantly extinguished.
The wind howled and ashes flew everywhere. After a moment, a line of words appeared under the fire.
"Don't rush to reunite. The current situation in Qingming Realm is not good. There are too many barbarians in the main trunk of the Long River of Time. There are always some unknown existences that want to invade our world. So we can't take you back for the time being. Or, you can develop on your own. Maybe in the future we will need you to save our lives. Remember, remember."
Zhang Yang erased the line of words. At the same time, a picture appeared in his mind. It was the outside of the Qingming Realm crawling with all kinds of strange creatures. Even though this picture only lasted for a moment, he felt a chill all over his body. It was too terrifying.
Did the main body run into trouble? Zhang Yang frowned for a moment. He had worked hard for half his life, racking his brains, making all kinds of calculations, and sacrificed his little cousin countless times to accumulate the wealth of Qingming Realm. But in the end, he became the target of exploitation and oppression in the six major sequences of the heavens and myriad worlds.
This is the consequence of having no background, no foundation, and no civilization to support you. After all, the power of one person is too weak.
"Hey, Juche, you're on your own."
Sighing, Zhang Yang stopped thinking about it. He was just a small account and didn't even have any plug-ins. What else could he do? His current strength was not even as strong as a hair of the main body. All his efforts at this moment were just to survive as long as possible.
"Wait, if the main body dies, won't I be the only Zhang Yang in the world?"
"Hahaha, my inner demon is really scary."
After a burst of laughter, Zhang Yang went to collect the spoils in a happy mood. He got two black cloaks, two sets of blood-stained chain mail, two sets of black heretic leather armor, two shields, two cursed maces, two hammers, two hunting horses, an armored warhorse, and 240 silver dinars. He looked like he had made a fortune.
However, there is still a problem, that is the sacrifice that was kidnapped on the altar, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was originally unconscious, but now she is awake, staring with big eyes and trembling.
"Where is your home?"
Zhang Yang squatted down, pulled the rag out of the girl's mouth and asked.
The girl shook her head and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Zhang Yang then understood that if the pagans kidnapped a girl and encountered resistance, their entire family would of course be killed.
"Do you have any other relatives?"
The girl continued to shake her head.
"Then there's nothing we can do. I'll give you 10 silver dinars and you just leave it to fate." Zhang Yang stood up. This seemed to be the best solution.
"I'm going to kill all those bastards. They killed my whole family!"
The girl suddenly shouted hysterically, "If you are a mercenary captain, please take me with you. Just give me a sword and I can do anything for you."
"Huh?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, mainly because the word "mercenary captain" irritated him.
"I am in good health and have worked as a maid in a nobleman's house. I know some words and can do math, and I can seriously learn combat skills." The girl continued to shout, speaking very clearly, so Zhang Yang used the Wanderer System to take a look at her attributes.
"Carly, 18."
"Status: Maid (female citizen)."
"Upgradeable routes: Level 4 female citizen < Level 10 female attendant < Level 20 female guard < Level 30 female cavalry < Level 40 female adventurer < Level 60 female adventurer hero."
"Health: 60"
"Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 6, Intelligence 8, Charisma 10."
"Skills: Persuasion level 3, Trading level 1."
"Proficiency: One-handed 45 points, two-handed 0, long pole 0, throwing 0, bow and arrow 0, crossbow 60."
"Equipment: 0."
——
"What rubbish attributes. However, for my ambition to be a mercenary captain, it's not a problem to keep her. Well, raising her into an adventure heroine should be a great sense of accomplishment, right?"
After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Yang made a decision.
"In that case, then just follow me. You will be free when I die."
After helping Carly up, Zhang Yang picked out a relatively complete set of leather armor from a pile of equipment and put it on her, and then helped her onto the hunting horse. For the time being, this was a powerless burden, but for the great goal of becoming a mercenary captain, what was this little trouble? On the way back, Zhang Yang also added some attributes to himself.
He first increased intelligence, which gave him two skill points. He put all of them into mounted archery, which would be very helpful for him to throw on a galloping warhorse. It is expected that the throwing accuracy will increase by 20%.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang brought Carly back to the camp, only to be shocked to find that the camp was brightly lit and it seemed that the caravan was planning to set off overnight.
Before he could get close, he saw Tonks running out angrily.
"Theo! Are you crazy? Uh, who is she?"
"What's going on, Tonks, what happened?"
"How dare you say that? Because you sneaked out and I woke up to find you gone. Lucas is going to fire you!"
"What?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
"You really did go looking for trouble with those heretics. I'm sorry, Mr. Theo, but I'm just a businessman who wants to make some dinars, not a righteous knight. I don't want to cause any trouble, Lord Tonks, please understand my difficulties."
At this time, the caravan leader Lucas came over with a gloomy face and spoke directly.
"Hey, Lucas, the situation may not be that serious. Look, hasn't Theo come back? We set off overnight, and those cultists won't know it's us, right?" Tonks said with a smile.
"terribly sorry!"
After saying only this, the caravan leader turned around and left.
Zhang Yang was speechless and helpless at the same time.
Tonks hesitated for a moment, but finally stayed. The two of them watched the caravan set off again, feeling very annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Tonks." Zhang Yang finally spoke. After all, it was he who implicated Tonks.
"It's nothing, Theo. At least you did something I didn't dare to do. Your performance today was like that of a brave and righteous knight. This broken caravan, bah, is really not qualified to hire us. However, Theo, our reputation as a mercenary will definitely be infamous. Those people will spread this matter all over the continent."
Tonks sighed, frustrated.
"Hehe! Tonks, I want to form a team, a mercenary team that only obeys our own orders." Zhang Yang suddenly said at this time.
Tonks was stunned for a moment, then blinked, and after a long while she suddenly reacted, and immediately shouted fiercely: "What? You want to be the captain of the mercenaries! Oh, damn, I should have been the captain, boy, I am the captain!"
"Haha, sure, do you have dinars?" Zhang Yang laughed proudly.
"Theo, this isn't fair, I took my armor in exchange for the weapon!" Tonks responded quickly.
"Ha, Tonks, but I saved your life too, you should return the favor."
"Bah, this is still unfair. I am a powerful warrior, I am invincible, and you, I can beat you with one hand. Anyway, for our lives and the future of the team, I should be the captain of the mercenary group."
Tonks was so anxious that she didn't even care about her image.
"Okay, let's decide it with a battle. Let's pick a group of enemies and see who kills more. He will be the captain." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Well, sure, it's settled!" Tonks agreed readily. Just kidding, he is a regular soldier of the Kingdom of Sarion, a noble! "Okay, let's go back to Sarion now and sell these spoils. Well, you can choose a piece of chain mail from them, and this warhorse is for you. By the way, let me introduce you. This is the poor creature I saved after killing those cultists. Her name is Carly. All her family members died, and she decided to join us to take revenge on the cultists."
"Carly, this is my good friend Tonks. If you want to learn combat skills in the future, you'll have to ask him for help."
Zhang Yang introduced Tonks and Carly to each other, but they didn't seem to be attracted to each other. Carly was like a little white rabbit, trembling and unable to speak, while Tonks was not interested in women who were not very pretty. After all, as the heir to a village who once had the right of virginity, this guy still had a lot of bad habits.
They returned along the same route, which was familiar to them. At dawn the next day, the three of them successfully returned to the city of Sarion, found a weapon shop, sold the excess weapons and equipment, and sold a hunting horse on the street. In the end, they obtained 1,200 silver dinars. Including the money they looted from the cultists, their total property had reached 1,430 silver dinars.
Such a large amount of wealth made Tonks extremely happy, even though he had previously had much more wealth than this.
"We should recruit a few good fighters first, and then go kill those bandits. Our mercenary group will definitely become the guests of King Ulrich, and perhaps we can even get a fiefdom in the end based on our military achievements."
Tonks was ambitious.
Zhang Yang chuckled. He wanted to say, "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?" Xiao Tang, you have a very narrow mind.
