Chapter 108: Brilliant Crystal
Slowly approaching from the end of the road was a long line of vehicles pulled by giant rhino-like beasts of burden.
On both sides of the convoy, mercenaries carrying various weapons and with scratches and wear on their armor followed the team and guarded the convoy tightly in the center.
One thing they have in common is that there is a bloody lion head printed on the chest of each mercenary's armor.
Tutuji: "It's the Blood Lion Mercenaries, target confirmed!"
Upon learning that the target had appeared, the many players who were chatting lightly seemed to have changed into different people in an instant. Including the kitten Tiramisu, everyone's expression became extremely serious.
Nyarlathotep: "Attention, everyone. When the magic trap is triggered, that's when we attack."
Nyarlathotep: "If the enemy is too strong, don't fight them. First, confirm what they are transporting. Once you have the sample, get away immediately!"
Naya finally confirmed the plan with everyone on the channel, then closed the channel, his dark golden eyes fixed on the tortuous business road in the distance.
He is not a wizard, but has transformed into a dragon vein sorcerer through a blood transformation ceremony.
Although the blood purity is not high, this is the magic profession that can gain powerful combat power the fastest during the internal testing period.
Boom boom boom!!!
As everyone watched anxiously, something strange happened on the distant trade route! As the long team passed by, a carefully camouflaged rock on the roadside suddenly exploded!
The violent compressed dragon flames formed a huge flame explosion, indiscriminately engulfing all beings within a range of twenty steps! The next moment, five black shadows with hidden identities suddenly attacked the turbulent team from different directions!
………
"Is that so?"
A day later, after reading the letter in his hand, Anvis roughly understood the experiences of the followers he had released during this period.
Not knowing what mission he had received, he led some people to rob the supply team of the White Rose Legion, and then discovered that they were smuggling the Empire's first-class contraband - [Glorious Crystal].
After several elite White Rose Legion members hiding in the team reacted, they immediately took action to silence the witnesses.
The players paid the price of five people to cover the successful escape of the Last Dragonborn.
"Should I say, you are worthy of being a player?"
After putting away the magic letter, Avis tapped the table lightly with his fingers, speechless at the last dragonborn's ability to cause trouble.
It was obvious that the elf had triggered some important plot quest, otherwise those players would never have risked their lives to protect him and escape.
Although the internal beta test gave a hundred times the experience, it only took four or five months of game time to find a way to get involved in the plot of the empire's high-level forces.
This ability to stir up trouble is so terrifying——
Then again, as the elite legion of the imperial family, the White Rose Legion had fought in the bloody years after the destruction of the empire. It was known as the "Bloody Rose" and made great contributions to the stability of the empire.
But now, they have appeared in incidents of smuggling contraband.
I'm afraid that this elite army, which once fought against a real adult dragon, has become rotten to a certain extent internally.
Avis sighed softly. Although it was regrettable, it did not surprise him.
The current situation of the White Rose Legion is actually a microcosm of the general situation of the upper echelons of the empire.
The long period of peace has paralyzed most people. They take it for granted that under the rule of a powerful empire, war will never come again.
As a result, strict discipline became lax, the sharp sword blade gradually rusted, the bright flags were covered in dust in the warehouse, and the loyal will began to corrupt.
The glory of the bleeding rose in the past has long faded over the years.
But these peaceful days will soon be over. The iron hand of changing times will wake up all those who are immersed in the beautiful dreams of the old times.
The emergence of magical constructs, the rebels, and the new nobility was like an earthquake, which was about to end the rule of the old nobility, which was as shaky as a dilapidated building.
In fact, even if the old aristocratic camp still maintained half of its combat effectiveness in its heyday, the rebels would not be able to capture cities and advance straight into the enemy territory with an almost overwhelming force as they did in the previous life.
To put it bluntly, it means that the teammates are just giving up and can't carry the team! Do you think the opponent is strong? I raised them!
Although Avis knew history, that didn't mean he could reverse the trend of the era. Even if he tried his best to stop it, he could only slow down the pace of the times.
Fortunately, the 'mission' given to him by the wishing spell was only to restore the glory of the Olivendi family, rather than to maintain the rule of the old noble power from collapse.
On the other hand, although his elf followers received the mission, the challenge level of this mission was not enough to be handled by the current strength of the players alone.
Even though they got the key plot props, as the price of attacking the convoy, the Last Dragonborn team has been put on the blacklist of the White Rose Legion and some underground forces of the empire.
The Brilliant Crystal is a secret product unique to the Gloria Empire and a very precious strategic resource.
Its greatest use is to help sixth-level professionals improve their mental synchronization, and it can also play a good effect in breaking through the bottleneck of the sixth level to the seventh level.
Once the synchronization between the spirit and body of a sixth-level professional reaches 99%, he can attempt a breakthrough.
The seventh level is the second watershed for professionals.
Even if you are at the peak of level 6, you are still a mid-level professional. Only when you reach level 7 or above can you be a true high-level professional.
The biggest difference between the two is that seventh-level professionals are already qualified to mobilize the power of nature on a large scale.
From being an individual strongman, it began to transform into a real mobile natural disaster.
In the short battle, the Last Dragonborn stole a large box of about ten units of Radiant Crystals.
A unit of high-quality Brilliant Crystal can increase the mental synchronization of a professional who has just entered the sixth level by 2.5% to 5%.
Once this kind of smuggling is discovered by the royal family, the consequences will be enough to make many people behind it pay the price.
Perhaps the elves did not seem to leave any clues, but Avis knew that with the players' current hiding methods, they would never be able to hide from the prophetic magic of the high-level prophet.
Their only hope of completing the mission now lies in their in-game character identity as the Last Dragonborn.
Nominally, the elf is his wandering follower 'Rivers'.
This identity will affect some of the missions and plots received by the last dragonborn.
For example, the story mission related to the smuggling of the White Rose Legion, which is currently being forcibly triggered by the Last Dragonborn.
Normally, no matter what the reason was for the elves to attack the transport team.
But after discovering the inside story of the White Rose Legion's involvement in smuggling, the next task will only be: [Survive and deliver this important information to the Imperial Family, or to other high-level forces]
But now, Avis is sure that the mission objectives of the last dragonborn definitely include a special option compared to the normal process -
[Report the important intelligence you have obtained to the person you are loyal to]
Gu——→Recommendation ticket
Happy New Year everyone -
