Chapter 19: So Many Quests!

  After repairing all of my equipment at the weapon shop, I immediately went to the armor shop. Earlier on the street, a little boy told me that the owner of the armor shop needed help.

  After saying a few words, I indeed received a task:

  Blacksmith's Troubles

  Task content: Master Smith recently lacked a rare copper ore that can only be produced in the eastern part of the city, Half Edge Mountain, when forging excellent armor for the army. The apprentice of the iron shop went to join the army to resist the spread of the plague in Luoshan Town, so there is currently a shortage of manpower to mine. Hope you can go to Half Edge Mountain to collect 20 pieces of this ore back, but that kind of ore is usually guarded by the lone wolf people, be sure to be extra careful!

  ……

  I checked the level of the Lone Wolfman, it's a 18-20 level monster. With my current strength, I might still be a bit struggling, but let's take it on first and see!

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: You have obtained "Miner's Iron Shovel"! You have learned the skill "Trial Excavation"!

  I took a look at the shovel and it turned out to be an iron shovel specifically for mining, without any special properties, and its attack power was also pitifully 1-1!

  As I came out of the armor shop, I suddenly found that in front of the large cathedral across the street, an old minstrel was singing and talking about ancient ballads, and a soldier was driving him away.

  I immediately walked over to talk to the soldier, only to see him looking at me with a gloomy expression and saying: "This minstrel is singing songs that have been banned by the Church, if we chase him away again, the Kingdom's Church might burn him alive as punishment!"

  I hastily asked what kind of ballad was forbidden, the soldier immediately shut his mouth and no matter how I asked him, he only told me to leave quickly.

  Damn it, this must be a hidden task!

  That minstrel gathered up his lute and sauntered into a small alley, I hurried to follow him and asked: "Excuse me, why was the song you were singing banned by the Vatican?"

  The bard lifted his face, full of wrinkles and dirt, with a pair of vacant eyes, looked at me and said: "Young man, that was two years ago. Now many people have begun to forget it, but Princess Misha is still living in pain. I thought I could save her, but everything seems to be too late."

  "Can you be more specific? Maybe I can help a little!"

  "Oh, it's like this, three years ago a mysterious plague spread across the continent, and many famous healers sent by the kingdom couldn't solve the problem. Even the beastman shaman who came was helpless. Princess Misha, the heir to the throne, personally went to investigate the source of the plague, but unfortunately, she found nothing. Not only that, but in the second year after her return, she suddenly contracted a strange plague. All the court wizards thought the princess couldn't be cured and might spread it, so the king had no choice but to lock her up in the underground chamber of the plague cemetery on the west side of the city. Recently, a group of filthy undead mages appeared at the plague cemetery, heaven knows if the princess can continue to live!"

  The bard muttered to himself in a low voice: "If we can find the golden needle grass, perhaps the princess's plague can be driven away. Why is the king so ruthless?"

  "I immediately replied: 'Where can I find that kind of grass? I should be able to help!'"

  The minstrel's eyes regained some of their luster: "Really? Young man, are you willing to help me?"

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: Do you accept the plea of the Treatment Master?

  I naturally chose yes, and the task followed suit:

  The Will of the Treatment Master (Only One)

  Task content: Help Therapist Lance find Golden Needle Grass. Golden Needle Grass is a plant that grows in the valley of Half Edge Mountain, guarded by the abandoned Beastman Shamanist Nicola. Defeat Nicola and retrieve the Golden Needle Grass to hand over to Therapist Lance.

  ……

  It turns out that this minstrel is actually the originally famous healer Lance, no wonder he still insists on saving the princess, he has already found the formula to cure the princess's illness! There should be a follow-up task for this mission, with Lance's current moral character, I estimate that he doesn't even have the ability to rescue the princess from the undead mage.

  After accepting three tasks, I wandered around the city for nearly half an hour again and didn't receive any more tasks. It seems that there are only so many tasks available in the city.

  "Have you received any tasks?"

  Lu Xuehan said excitedly: "I received a mission to clean up the farm, what about you?"

  "I've also received that task, let's do it together! Wait for me at the east gate of the city!"

  "Alright."

  It wasn't long before Lu Xuehan arrived, with a sweet smile spreading across her beautiful face. She received the task, and seemed so happy about it?

  Without saying much, they headed directly to Matthew's farm in the direction indicated by the task, and as the sky gradually darkened, a thick fog floated over the abandoned fields.

  Not far away, several dilapidated small wooden houses are scattered in the abandoned fields, and many snake-headed monsters are wandering on the weedy fields.

  "I'll take care of healing and cursing, you focus on attacking!" Lu Xuehan said calmly, it seems this girl still has some understanding of the game.

  Lu Xuehan's delicate little hand waved lightly, and a cloud of gray smoke enveloped the nearest snake-headed person.

  Snakehead

  Level: 13

  Attack: ???

  Defense: ???

  ……

  I rushed up immediately and struck a heavy blow, followed by a combo, "142" "52" "58" three digits floated from the monster's head, the fast-paced continuous strikes of the combo made its body move back slightly.

  First-level combos can only hit two attacks, and sometimes even just one attack. I don't know if it will be possible to hit seven or eight in a row later on. Because the attack speed is quite fast, the target that was hit by the combo falls into a temporary daze state. This is probably also the biggest advantage of combos - striking first is definitely not wrong.

  With the blessing of Lu Xuehan's curse, I found it quite easy to kill monsters. Sometimes after killing 7 or 8 monsters in a row, Lu Xuehan would give me a big healing spell. The level 1 big healing spell could add more than 120+ blood, which was pretty good, except that the skill guidance time was a bit long and required about 5 seconds of preparation to release.

  A field a field killed the past, after I and Lu Xuehan cleared up the monsters in the farm, both of us also collected all the snake head people's eyes needed for the task.

  I took a look at the time and it was already 9 o'clock, it seemed that Xu Lin and the others saw me and Lu Xuehan doing our task, so they didn't disturb us and let us go eat. I'm fine, but I don't know if Lu Xuehan can hold on anymore.

  "Are you hungry?" Lu Xuehan blinked and said.

  I secretly smiled and said: "Let's go back underground first, let's come again after dinner!"

  "Alright."
