C178 Blood Knight
Yu Yue stared blankly at the towering building in front of him. The blood-red building was like a torch, causing his blood to boil.
A new mission! It was a new mission with a reward so good that it could explode!
"'Ding... Grand Knight passive system forced acceptance quest - Midnight Ferocious Shadow. ' Midnight Ferocious Shadow: There has been a huge problem with the interior of the majestic Blood Red Castle recently. Due to unknown reasons, every once in a while, the female servant living in the Blood Red Castle would mysteriously disappear. This brought a lot of trouble to the people living in the Blood Red Castle. The root cause of the incident was found and the murder weapon was solved. Reward: Blood Knight title."
Hearing the sweet female voice of the system, Yu Yue clenched his fists in excitement.
A new Knight title! Blood Knight title!
Every new Knight title represented a new passive skill that could be learned. And every time he learned a new passive skill, it would increase his strength by a large amount. How could he not be excited!
Summoning out the Grand Knight passive system, a golden window instantly engraved itself on his retina.
He found the quest "Midnight Vicious Shadow" and carefully read it.
The prompt just now was not the complete version of the quest. There were other conditions for the quest in the quest column.
The conditions for failure of the quest. All humans in Blood Red Castle were killed. Special Mission Punishment: Every person who was killed would have one skill point randomly deducted from the knight branch.
Seeing this ridiculous punishment, he almost fainted.
The punishment for this mission was too terrifying!
Although he didn't know how many humans lived in Blood Red Castle, he estimated that a conservative estimate would require at least 10 people to manage such a large castle. According to the calculations of 10 people, one person would lose a skill point randomly. 10 people would be 10 skill points!
This was even more painful than killing him. The things he had obtained had suddenly been lost. There was nothing more painful than this. In the game world, there were two types of pain that were the most obvious. One was the loss of equipment after death. The other was the skill's Forgotten.
And the punishment for this quest was precisely one of them.
Although the reward for this quest seemed to be very good, there was still a huge crisis hidden within.
If the mission really failed, then he would be able to return to the days before liberation and lose most of his passive abilities.
If he lost "hardened skin" This skill, which was already extremely useless to him, was still fine, but he was afraid that he would lose a very useful passive ability like "Fatal Strike" and "Critical Rage.
Besides, he hadn't had the time to use the' Critical Rage 'yet. If he used it directly, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Looking at the towering fortress, he knew that there was no way he could escape from this mission. Furthermore, he needed to complete this mission as soon as possible, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer.
Judging from the introduction, the Blood Red Castle was full of dangers everywhere. Yu Yue would be severely punished even if he died. He couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
His excited mood gradually calmed down, and he started to think about how to complete this sudden mission.
Unlike the missions assigned by the Grand Knight system previously, most of these missions had legitimate reasons to be completed. The mission in front of him had a difficult problem - he had no reason to enter Blood Red Castle.
In fact, this problem had already been discovered on the way to Qiluo City and the mission to protect the entire Saber Mercenary Group.
That was, the Grand Knight's passive system had given him a mission, and this mission belonged to an illusory existence. Only Yu Yue knew about it. It was not issued by people related to it, and those people did not know about it either. This made it very difficult for Yu Yue to forcefully integrate with them.
He could not knock on the door and say, "Hello, please let me stay in your fortress. I have a mission that needs to be completed in your home. Thank you for your cooperation."
If he openly said it out loud, it would be easy for others to scold him for being crazy.
The last time he protected the Mercenary Group, he could pretend that he was traveling with them and muddle his way through. This time, he was helpless when faced with such a castle that did not have any interaction with anyone. It was obvious that it was a big family castle.
However, what kind of person was the Sword God happy about? That was a famous high-end game player from back then.
Although he had always been famous for his marvelous sword techniques, before this, he had been a player at the level of a skeleton player. He had practiced all kinds of game techniques, missions, and monster farming techniques to perfection. All kinds of game routines had been memorized by his heart.
After some thought, an idea gradually formed in his mind.0
With a smile on his face, he stood up from the stone stool on the side of the road, left the surroundings of Blood Red Castle, and walked far away.
...
Half an hour later.
In front of the large courtyard in Blood Red Castle.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" The knocking on the door was loud and clear.
"It's here! Please wait a moment!" A crisp female voice came from the courtyard, followed by a series of jogging sounds, "Creak." The door opened.
As a maid in Blood Red Castle, liu Xin opened the door and looked at the strange man standing outside.
The man's face was slightly chubby, but his face was kind and comfortable. He wore a gray vest and a cloth cap on his head. There was a black and white pattern on the cap. This pattern looked very mysterious and seemed to have a great reason.
If anyone on Earth saw it, they would definitely blurt out, isn't this the Yin-Yang Diagram!?
But Liu Xin didn't understand these things. She was just a little maid.
"Sir, may I ask what you need?" She politely asked.
Needless to say, this fat man was Yu Yue. At this moment, he had his head held high and his chest puffed out. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he had a leisurely expression on his face. He did not reply to the little maid's question. Instead, he passed through the maid and sized up the Blood Red Castle in the distance. His lips moved and he clicked his tongue lightly.
Then, he curled his lips and shook his head lightly.
For a long time, Yu Yue did not speak. He just stood there calmly.
This silence made the little maid feel very awkward. She forced a smile and asked again: "Uh... Sir, may I ask what you need?"
Yu Yue looked at her and then slowly opened his mouth.
"I looked from afar and inadvertently found a corner in the east. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds covered it. This... is a sign of inauspicious!" Yu Yue's tone was rather mature. As his voice rose and fell, even the surrounding air became mysterious. He was like a fortune-teller.
However, the little maid did not know what Feng Shui was. She looked up at the sky and saw that the weather was clear. The sky was blue and the clouds were white. Surprisingly, it was a sunny day. There was no bad luck at all.
"But... I think the weather is very good." The little maid revealed a sweet smile. "The sky is very clear and the air is fresh. I really like the weather."
"You little girl, what do you know!" Yu Yue suddenly raised his voice and glared at the little maid. He shouted in a reprimanding tone: "Ignorant! Ignorant, my little girl!"
"But... The little maid was shocked by Yu Yue's inexplicable scolding, and tears almost fell down her face.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little maid. With a gloomy expression, he said quietly, "In your home, is there something bad happening recently? Is it because of frequent bloody calamities? Will... people die?!"
This sentence was like a headshot, hitting the little maid until she was confused.
Her face was filled with shock, and she couldn't help but let go of her voice: "You... How did you know!?"
Although Yu Yue's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth curled up cunningly.
