Chapter 57 Scarlet Letters

Four or five gray coyotes were gathering on the side of the road, seemingly tearing at something.

Sensing the approach of the elves, the coyotes turned their heads immediately, dark yellow bloodthirsty wolf eyes stared at him coldly, the figure was lowered, and there were continuous threatening low-pitched roars from the throat.

The last generation of dragonborn frowned, the elf’s innate keen eyes, let him clearly see what the coyotes were tearing at.

It was a mutilated corpse!

He took a slow step back and took off the longbow behind him. It is a reward for the Caravan Guard training mission, and the attribute is also very good in the eyes of the last dragonborn.

【Guard Longbow】, blue quality Wind Attribute magic bow, Olivendi caravan guard standard weapon.

Able to add Wind Attribute magic power to the shot arrows to increase the speed and formidable power of the arrows.

Comes with three blast arrows per day, one piercing arrow skill.

Meanwhile, the coyotes let go of their prey and scatter like grey arrows in an attempt to surround the elves.

Three white-feathered arrows appeared between the elf’s fingers, and the flexible Wind Element wrapped the arrow body layer by layer, and then the bow was like a full moon, and the three light azure arrows of the wind shot at the wolves instantly.

At the same time, the wild grass at the foot of the wolves suddenly grew wildly, and the tenacious plants instantly entangled the legs of several coyotes, and even had venomous barbs on them, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not. break free.

Second Rank Nature Spell – Manipulate Plants!

The challenge level of the gray coyote is only the 15th level. Although there are five, it is still far from the opponent of the last dragonborn.

In the end, the five gray coyotes swallowed their last breath unwillingly, and contributed four [incomplete wolf skins] and one [complete wolf skins] to him.

After slaying the wolves, the last dragonborn looked towards that mutilated dead body.

Judging from her clothes, the deceased seemed to be a female imperial civilian, but she not only had marks of being bitten by wolves, but also had piercing scars from swords.

“Is it a sudden mission? Or is it just a simple unfortunate encounter with a bandit?”

Adhering to the good habits of players, the last dragonborn began to search for corpses without any psychological pressure. .

Because this is a game after all, the system provides two ways for players to get spoíls of war.

First, as in normal 3D games, call up the panel next to the dead and select the option to get spoíls of war. The player’s character will automatically use the hand of the mage to take out the item carried by the deceased.

How many spoíls of war can be found depends on the item’s hiddenness, as well as the player’s attribute and search skills.

The other is the real mode, which has nothing to do with character attributes. How many things can be found depends on the player’s own ability.

The advantage of this method is that the search skill attribute can be ignored in the early stage. However, the disadvantage is that some highly hidden items cannot be found directly by players.

No matter which method you choose, after the search is over, the player’s search skills will improve a bit.

A moment later, the last Dragonborn found 6Silver Coin 32Copper Coin from the dead body, a black iron necklace, and a stack of letters soaked in dark red blood.

“xiu—— these days, robbers don’t look down on Silver Coin, can’t even magic stop the pace of inflation?”

The elf blew a little surprised. Whistle, and then opened the letter with some curiosity.

‘Dear, Elsa’

‘How is the situation at home? Are the children growing up healthy? ‘

‘Sorry, as husband and father, I have not been able to fulfill the responsibilities of these two identities. ‘

‘This time, the mercenary group received a large order, and the White Rose Legion needed to secretly escort a batch of supplies from Wind Valley City to Fort Manchenko. The journey back and forth takes at least six months. ‘

‘Although this mission is more risky than before, the bounty of this mission is worth all my income for the past three years. ‘

‘With this money, you don’t have to work all day long, and eldest son also has the tuition fee to enter the professional Academy, we will usher in a bright future. ‘

‘Thanks to Gloria Your Majesty’s kindness, even if we are just civilians, we have the right to send future generations to the Academy. ‘

‘Don’t worry, my love, take care of the children and wait for me to come back! ‘

‘Love you, Wood’

After reading the letter, a prompt pops up on the panel:

[system hint: trigger random encounter task ‘Dead’]

[Task introduction: You found a deceased who unfortunately died in the mouth of the wolves, but the sword scars on her corpse obviously indicate that there is a hidden secret behind her. ]

[quest requirements: read all letters: 1/4]

[quest rewards: none]

“triggered story missions?”

The spirit of the last Dragonborn suddenly came to the fore. Such a mission introduction and requirement obviously meant that this was the beginning of a certain side story mission.

The reason he was interested in this mission was because the name ‘White Rose Legion’ was mentioned in the letter.

In the background plot, the White Rose Legion nominally belongs directly to the royal family of the Gloria Empire, and is one of the garrison troops sent by the royal family to the borders of the empire.

A part of the taxes paid to the royal family by the four major provinces each year will be directly allocated to Legion as military expenses.

Different from the previous caravan guards, as a border guard, the White Rose Legion is a real elite, with an average challenge level of 60.

If he can get on the line, he can take off in a short time.

While daydreaming, the Last Dragonborn opened the second letter.

‘I’m sorry, Aisha’

‘I can’t give up this mission. If I ask, the regiment leader will definitely demote me to an alternate team member. ‘

‘You said you had a bad premonition. I admit, this mission is more dangerous than ever, but it’s still within our tolerance. ‘

‘I have also heard the rumors on the road, but there are more than 100 of us, and the leader is a powerful warrior of sixth rank Peak. Even if he encounters bandits and so-called evil magicians, he is completely able to protect himself. ‘

‘Even if those aristocrats deserve to die, at least their gold coins are innocent. ‘

‘Be obedient, wait for me at home, I will come back safely. ‘

‘Love you, Wood’

“Oh, it smells like Flag.”

The last dragonborn instinctively spit out a slot, and his hands I kept opening the third letter.

The order of the letters is well determined. The envelope of each letter is marked with the date of dispatch, from the old one to the new one.

‘Dear, Elsa’

‘We have arrived in Greyhawk City, less than three days away from our destination Fort Manchenko. ‘

‘You said that the bad feeling in your heart is getting stronger and stronger? It’s okay, it’s all here, I can’t stop before the finish line. ‘

‘Well, anyway, a big bounty is on the way. at worst I’ll spend more money and send a letter to my house every fifteen days to tell you how I’m doing, okay? ‘

‘Love you, Wood’
