Chapter 116 Running for the Lord

Lu Ping met up with Leng Wa, An Li, Bing Jiling and other six people in the village at the foot of the mountain, but Phantom was not there, and Lu Pingmi did not reply to him.

On the way, Lu Ping told everyone the whole story, the goal: to kill the arbitrator Slien!
"We killed Slien, and Harmondale, which has lost its lord, has lost its last backbone. Erasia and Tula Leon will definitely come to snatch it, and Castor will also come to avenge Slien, so humans The world is in chaos..." Lu Ping analyzed for everyone, "This is the result that the ambitious Archibald wanted. We have made great contributions, and of course Archibald will not treat us badly. The Rank Laboratory is the top production place of potions and magic items in the entire continent! In the future, Archibald will make a comeback and regain control of the kingdom of the undead and the wizard guild, we are all great veterans and great heroes!"

"Brother Lu, are there really many treasures in the Kelanke Laboratory?"

"It's not a lot, it's a huge amount! I randomly broke into a room, and there were hundreds of eggs, including dragon eggs! My little firebird was hatched from one of these eggs..."

Excited, Lu Pingquan shook out, and the crowd immediately surrounded him, Leng Wa shouted: "I want dragon eggs!"

Bing Jiling immediately rolled his eyes at him: "Didn't you have a bull? A donkey and a bull are a perfect match!"

Leng Wa didn't dare to talk back to her, and said honestly: "If you go to a higher place, there are better ones you can change!"

Everyone is infinitely fascinated, if I can go in and pick an egg...

Slightly smiled and asked: "Brother Lu, if we make great achievements, we will have a chance to get dragon eggs or something like that?"

Morale can be boosted or not, Lu Ping said: "Of course, as long as it makes him happy, let alone an egg, treasures, eternal potions, and powerful scrolls are up to you. Uh, let's kill Slien first."

Everyone chattered and asked: "How to kill?"

"You can't kill him head-on, you can only outwit the invincible! There is no unsolvable task, so there must be a way to kill him that is not too difficult, and now we just want to find this method..."

The seven people were full of confidence and passion, and walked up the mountain while talking. When they arrived at the House of Stars, Lu Ping did not rush to knock on the door, but wandered around with his companions.

The House of Stars is located on the top of a high mountain. It is impossible to flood it with water, roll over huge rocks, etc., and it is impossible to set it on fire. There is not even anything to burn around. How can it burn the people inside the thick stone wall?And there may be a protection like a magic circle here, which makes it invulnerable.

Lu Ping said: "We must first find a way to get in, and only when we get inside can we have a chance to assassinate or kill him."

An Li said: "Maybe there is an entrance on the roof. We need to find a flying scroll and fly to the sky to have a look."

Leng Wa said: "No, even if there is an entrance above, there must be a deadly trap. I said the best way is to dig a hole in the ground!"

"Hmph, orcs just don't have brains, don't you see that the ground is full of rocks?" Hongyue said disdainfully, "Unless we find a few hundred catties of explosives... yes, we can use explosives to kill him!"

Everyone rolled their eyes: "Where is the explosive?"

Hongyue has nothing to say, at least so far, they haven't heard of such things as explosives in the game.

Smiling slightly, he said, "We can invite more experts to lie in ambush outside, trick him out and launch an attack together. If he is a magician, his HP won't be too high, and his physical defense won't be too high..."

Lu Pingdao: "No, it's too risky. A high-level magician must have a magic shield. We may not be able to break through his defense. Once he counterattacks, a group killing magic can knock us all down, and he It won't come out easily."

Wenwen shouted: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, just trick him into beating himself, and commit suicide!"

Everyone was stunned, but Lu Ping's eyes lit up. This guy has a bad temper. If you provoke him with some words, he might go crazy...

With a sound of "Dang", the small iron door of the House of Stars opened, and a black-bearded middle-aged man wearing a mage's robe and holding a skeleton staff stood at the door, looking at everyone coldly, causing everyone to back away a few times in fright. step.Could it be that he also heard the speech in the team channel?

Slien looked displeased: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "I'm here to report to you. I have already gone to see King Parson and Queen Catherine. They...they didn't read your letter at all, so I brought it back."

What Lu Ping said was of course a lie. The letter to Parson had already been sent, and the letter to Catherine was not handed in because it was unnecessary. At this time, he took it out and waved it to Slien.

Slien didn't get angry, and said coldly: "They will pay the price for their arrogance and ignorance. Diya is now stronger than ever. As long as they dare to act rashly, the undead army will crush their capital!"

Lu Ping cursed secretly: You bastard is the most arrogant person in the world!

Slien continued: "You came at a good time. I just received a letter from the four lords of Harmondale. They are very busy now and have no time to manage the daily affairs of Harmondale. In this chaotic period, Harmondale It is impossible to be without a master for a day, so they decided to choose some outstanding heroes from the people to temporarily replace the lord of Harmondale, and if managed well, they may become permanent lords."

Lu Ping stood there in a daze, and the others also stared wide-eyed, not fully understanding what was going on for a while.

Slien said: "The method of selection is that Harmondale, Erasia, and Tula Leon send ten representative teams to participate in the competition. I am the notary of this competition. Each representative team consists of six people. Treasure hunts, puzzle solving, duels and other links will be completed, and the winning team will become the temporary lord of Harmondale."

Lu Ping immediately turned several thoughts in his mind. It seemed that the four lords were really under house arrest, so Castor wanted to choose some other people to be the lords. They were temporary lords, but in fact they were just puppets of Casca.But even if it is a puppet, it is also a "substitute lord". The power is very powerful. It is the person who actually controls the entire Harmondale. It is much stronger than the guild occupying a few NPCs to collect taxes. The players have just established the guild. What is the concept of becoming a lord directly?And with the backing of the undead, you can do it on an equal footing with Catherine and Parson. If you become the acting lord of Harmondale, you can drive away the annoying people, and you can choose which guild you are happy to keep. A power group under his own control...

Then you can't kill Slien, and you can't complete Archibald's mission. How do you choose?

Leng Wa asked, "Can I represent Harmondale in the competition?"

"The captain must have the nationality of the country. There can only be six people at most. You can go to the town hall to sign up." Slien showed a cunning smile, "The messenger must be in It's been a few days on the road, so you can start preparing now, Erasia and Tula Leon will get the news a few days later."

This can be regarded as an advantage, Lu Ping asked: "Then what about the date and place of the competition?"

"The time will be ten days later, and the competition venue will be in Harmondale." Slien showed a smirk again: "I am a notary, and I cannot favor anyone in the competition, but I also belong to Harmondale Residents, I still hope you win the final victory. You have plenty of time to prepare, but they have to move faster, if no one comes to participate by then, the championship will be yours."

It will take two or three days for Erasia and Tula Leon to receive the news. There must be more than ten teams who signed up, so there will be an elimination in their own country first, and then the players will rush to Harmondale. I was a little nervous, but Lu Ping and the others had a full ten days to prepare, which took advantage of the situation.

After Slien finished speaking, he closed the iron door, began to chant spells, cast the magic of the gate of time and space, and soon disappeared with a ball of white light.

Lu Ping said: "I finally know how to kill him!"

Everyone asked: "What method?"

"We can't kill him in the House of Stars, but if he becomes a notary in the city, he will have a chance!"

An Li asked, "Are we going to kill him?"

This question is really difficult to answer, Lu Ping said: "This may be Casto's way to fight back against Archibald. The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Anyway, there are still ten days. Let's take one step at a time."

Hongyue asked: "Then who are we going to participate in the competition?"

There were already seven people present, and one of them had to quit. There was no duplicate occupation among the seven people, so it was not good for anyone to quit, and no one wanted to quit, because the contestant would be one of the lords of Harmondale.

Lu Ping looked at this and that, his head was as big as a bucket, while Leng Wa, Bing Jiling, Wei Xiao, Hong Yue, and Wen Wen all looked at An Li, only she was an "outsider"!
An Li immediately said: "Don't look at me, my fighting power is no worse than yours, this time being on the hero list is proof."

To go to the competition, of course, choose someone with strong fighting power, so there is really no reason to rule out An Li.

Wenwen pursed her lips: "I'm probably the worst in PK, so I won't go, and you can drink the medicine yourself."

Lu Ping said: "No, you have to add auxiliary magic to us and heal me, and the combat power of the priest is only slightly worse than that of the mage. Although you are weaker in single battles, you cannot live without you in group battles."

Bingjiling said: "Brother Lu, don't be embarrassed. I will withdraw. My attack power is not high, and I don't know how to attack in groups. It won't be very effective."

Lu Ping shook his head again: "No, you are a mage killer. If you can kill the opponent's mage immediately, the balance of victory will be tilted towards us."

Slightly smiled and said: "Then I'll quit, it's almost as good as you and Leng Wa in close combat."

Lu Ping still shook his head: "If you don't even have a shield warrior, what kind of team is it?"

Leng Wa yelled: "That means I'm going to quit? I'm redundant? An Li, tell me yourself, you can get a place on the hero list because you summoned the air elementals, and the heads-up is yours." advantage, but group battles won't work, your magic attack is too low, there is nothing to say, you quit!"

An Li glared at him immediately: "Smelly beast, are you the captain? It's not up to you to decide who will go!"

"You, you, I'll kill you first!"

Lu Ping yelled: "Shut up! Don't make noise, don't fight! Also, don't disclose this news. If anyone dares to disclose it early, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

It was rare for everyone to see him so angry, they were so frightened that they shut their mouths and did not dare to speak. After a while, Leng Wa asked hesitantly, "Then who will go to the competition?"

Lu Pingdao: "Harmondale only has us as a team. You can wait until the last day to sign up. Start preparing for the battle now, and then decide on candidates. Those with strong strength and good cooperation will go."

Bingjiling, Hongyue and the others were secretly delighted. The four of them ate, lived, and played together, and they almost never separated. Needless to say, they cooperated with each other tacitly. In terms of strength, they were no worse than An Li.

An Li and Leng Wa are not to be outdone, they are also very confident in themselves.

Slightly smiled and asked: "Then do you want to inform Phantom? He seems to be qualified to represent Harmondale, right?"

Lu Pingdao: "No, don't inform him, just pretend that we don't know. If he has any ideas, he can pull a team by himself. In short, we don't have his share here. During this time, work hard to level up, train, Dabao, no matter what the channel is, as long as there are suitable top-grade equipment, skill books, and magic books, I can lend you money to buy them, no matter how expensive they are!"

Leng Wa raised her arms and shouted: "Brother is mighty!"

Lu Ping now has more than 1000 gold coins in his hand. Of course, he has a lot of money, but there are very few opportunities to buy truly top-quality equipment, and there is almost no dark red equipment in the auction house.At present, the easier way to obtain dark red equipment is to kill red-level bosses, but the big bosses are almost all captured by the big guild, and the things that are exposed are of course the elites of the big guild.

In order to snatch the position of the lord of Harmondale, all the dormant masters will jump out. Lu Ping is not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight, but he doesn't have much confidence in a team fight. It cannot be compared with the Grand Guild's team, and it is definitely not easy to win the final victory.

The only advantage is that I know the news earlier than others and have more time to prepare.

On the way back, Lu Ping was still having a headache about the selection of candidates. How to make arrangements to maximize the viability of the team?There are a total of eight occupations in the game, but only six can be selected at most, so two occupations must be removed.Under normal circumstances, elders and archdruids feel worse, and they are unpopular professions, so most teams will not choose these two professions; the advantage of thieves is ingenuity, which is not easy to play in the ring, and their offense and defense are not very good. Ideal, so there is a greater chance of being excluded...

Maybe some teams will send a lot of close combat, because heroes and warriors have a great advantage in open places. Six warriors use charge to approach at the same time, and they can kill the opponent's priest, mage, and sniper in a blink of an eye. It is quite terrifying.In order to deal with such a team, at least three close combats are needed to stop them, so Wei Xiaoxiao and Leng Wa have to fight.

Slien said that the competition also includes treasure hunting, puzzle solving, etc., so the team members should not be too single. Priests and mages are also necessary. Hongyue and Wenwen are also confirmed. The ice cream bell is on.

If An Li couldn't compete, she would definitely be furious; Bing Jiling, as the leader of the four girls, would be wrong if she didn't participate, so what should I do?
There is another question, if Archibald must kill Slien, what should he do?
