Chapter 438 Bard One-day Experience Card
"Can I ask carefully, what happened to the series of Orion disappearances before Captain Daqi entered the Forest of Eternal Winter?" David did not rush to take over the task, but asked a series of questions: What is the general situation of Captain Qi's subordinates?"
David used these questions to keep talking to the sheriff, and quickly confirmed that the sheriff named Shane in front of him was not a purely brainless NPC, but a living 'person'.
The other party has his own life and ideas, and is not a mechanical tool just to complete the work of posting tasks.
As for why the sheriff would trigger a conversation similar to a game NPC when he saw him, it was all based on the basic common sense of this continent.
David learned from Sheriff Shane by the way, some basic common sense information that he didn't ask from Asegos.
There are many cities in the entire Yaneira continent. These cities are their own countries and have no ownership relationship with each other.
That is to say, the Yaneira Continent is still in the city-state era, and there are large areas of disorder between forces.
At the same time, there are various races such as humans, forest elves, dark elves, mountain dwarves, crypt dwarves, half-orcs, half-demons, etc. on the continent of Yaneira.
Some of these races are scattered all over the continent, and some are gathered into tribes, and villages and towns form their own forces.
Generally speaking, people take care of their own affairs, and no one will take care of things that are not within the scope of the territory—this has given birth to a group of special groups: adventurers.
Adventurers are similar to mercenaries, and there is almost no big difference between the two. They all earn rewards by accepting various commissions. The composition of adventurers is very complicated, and they can be of all races.
But adventurers have a few things in common: they have extraordinary abilities and like to wander around!
Generally speaking, nine out of ten unfamiliar faces who are not locals and seem to have never encountered trouble are adventurers.
"By the way, are you a bard?"
"Your vision is really sharp, how did you see it?"
"I've been a sheriff for many years, and I've seen some adventurers. Handsome young men like you who can speak well are basically bards."
David smiled and drank the wine that Sheriff Shane had invited. After looking around, he entered the Everwinter Forest to investigate what happened to Captain Dach and his men.
"Good luck!"
David nodded, smiled and left this small hotel that also runs a tavern with Laura.
Standing on the largest gravel road in Everwinter Town, David ignored Laura's question: "Bard?"
"What? Can't I work as a bard part-time?" David pointed to his face. Is there any problem with pretending to be a bard because of his charm?
"Can you play the piano? Or sing?"
"Do you want to hear me sing?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't heard you sing... Maybe you can sing to cheer me up when I encounter enemies or beasts later."
"Good suggestion, that's it!"
After a brief turn around in Everwinter Town, according to the information David asked from Sheriff Shane, he headed towards the depths of the Everwinter Forest.
These two men were brave and skilled, they didn't rest in the town for one night, and waited until the next morning before entering the forest.
They don't think there is anything in the forest that can threaten them. As for the element that caused Dutch and his team to disappear...
"Do you think we'll meet the Predator? Or the Alien?"
Laura looked at the portrait of Captain Dach that she got from Sheriff Shane in her hand. The Terminator's sense of sight finally reminded her where she had seen this 'drama' before.
"Should be the Predator?"
The team led by the governor of Forest State, this is obviously the plot of the Predator. Although there are some changes in it, the general direction remains the same.
"If it's an alien, we shouldn't be contacting Dutch, it should be Ripley."
"Is Ripley on the list?"
"No."
The two walked through the forest freely. The thick snow did not make them feel any difficulty. Neither of them needed to observe carefully. They could find the most correct route by relying on peripheral vision and feeling.
Both David and Laura have rich experience in wild survival. With the improvement of their respective qualities and the learning of a lot of 'hunter' knowledge, their abilities in this area have been greatly strengthened.
"It's getting dark." Laura looked up at the night sky with the beautiful aurora. She didn't expect to see such a beautiful view here: "Go on or rest for a night?"
"Keep going, I have a hunch that I will find something soon."
"Hope you feel right!"
David's feeling was very accurate, and after another hour of walking, David and Laura found the clues of Dutch team.
Those were a few soldiers who died in a terrible state. The broken corpses were just thrown there, and one of them was stripped of its skin and hung on a tree beside it.
David scanned around, but didn't find Dach's body, but found the Predator hiding in the dark and preparing to **** him, and Dach's head hanging by his waist.
"..."
David felt very speechless. This Predator thought he couldn't find him because he was invisible? Innocent!
Winking at Laura who was on the side, Laura secretly replied with an expression of "I found out too", then without warning, she held the mechanical bow that had deformed into her hand, and took out an arrow from the ring.
Draw the bow!
Infused with Holy Light!
Holy Light Shot!
Boom!
The whole set of movements was done in one go, and the moment Laura let go, the Predator had already been hit firmly by the holy light shot. Inflicted heavy damage and also lifted the Predator's invisibility.
Looking at the flickering light and electric current on the Predator, it seems that this powerful arrow broke the stealth function of the Predator.
The fallen Predator did not lose consciousness, and his excellent combat awareness allowed him to launch a counterattack immediately. The plasma cannon on his shoulders emitted beams of light. Although they missed David and Laura, they formed a barrage of bullets. Dust, snow, and sawdust from tree trunks were blasted everywhere, trying to cover his next move.
The Predator's response cannot be said to be bad, if it is an ordinary adventurer... well, ordinary adventurers may be directly attacked by him, just like Dach's team.
Facing David and Laura at this time, his resistance was all meaningless dying struggles. The barrage formed by the plasma beams, as well as the dust and snowflakes in the sky could not stop Laura at all.
The Predator, who had no idea that he had been 'marked', was hit by several arrows one after another, one of which accurately shot the shoulder cannon.
Unable to stand anymore, the predator kneeling on the ground looked at the approaching humans. The woman who looked neither tall nor strong knocked herself down so easily. My doubts: Are women on this planet so powerful?
However, in the next second, his doubts were shattered by a strange and loud voice:
"You are my little apple, I can never love you too much..."
The loud, high-pitched voice was heard far away in the silent night, but this is not the point. The point is that the Predator and Laura fell into a state of confusion at the same time. They all shot crookedly.
"..."
The arrow was taken out again, it was still an arrow filled with holy light. After perfectly controlling the strength, the arrow exploded the Predator's chest, killing the enemy while leaving the whole body behind.
"Fill up the wine and let you stay... Huh?" David was singing happily, and suddenly felt something, and looked at the Predator who had just been shot by Laura in surprise: "It seems that this plan has something wrong. "
"Are you upgraded?"
"I'm so powerful, it's not so easy to upgrade." David closed his eyes and felt it carefully: "It just feels like I finally have a connection with the land under my feet, and I no longer resist each other like I did at first."
"This is good news." Laura just remembered that David should have killed the Predator, but just now her whole mind was buzzing. David's singing was terrible, but fortunately it didn't affect anything: "In addition , you sing very well, don't sing again in the future."
"..." David had just decided that he would act as a bard on the continent of Yaneira.
I didn’t expect that I would be forced to be laid off after being a bard for less than a day: "I just used shadow magic to sing, but it didn't have any effect?"
"No, the effect is so good that even I was affected." Only then did Laura understand why the Predator became sluggish and why her mind suddenly became inflexible. Influenced by Wei's singing: "However, when did you master the magic of shadows?"
"Temporarily extracted from the shadow space." The joint effect of learning to sneak is to let David know how to 'connect' the shadow space.
Now that he knows where that world is, it is not difficult for a spellcaster like him to draw some energy to come here.
He didn't plan to store shadow energy in his body, and he used it immediately. Anyway, it was not difficult for David.
However, unless I can solve the problem of not distinguishing between friend and foe as soon as possible, I will have no chance to continue singing with shadow magic.
Especially when David and Laura returned to Everwinter Town with the corpses of the Predator and Dutch, and learned that the entire town had a collective nightmare last night, he knew that his career (bard) was indeed Come to an end.
Speaking of which, I had an idea before that the main character was a bard...
