"When will the new leader of the Black Falcon mercenaries be selected?" Ian asked.
"Lame Kelvin is already rushing back. They will probably arrive at our station before tonight's evening. Then Ser Harrison (the landlord) will send people to notify the mercenary captains at all nearby stations to return. This will take at least half a month. It will be at least a month before the new leader is officially elected," Dorian, the 'adopted son', made some calculations and came to a conclusion.
"I don't have time to wait until a month later," Ian frowned, and then asked, "You said before that your status in the mercenary group is ranked third at most, so who are the first two?"
"Lame Kelvin and Ser Harrison. Lame is the confidant of the adoptive father and the deputy leader of the mercenary group. Most of the forces under the adoptive father should support him, and Ser Harrison is the deputy leader of the mercenary group. Another faction, after all, he provided the headquarters for the mercenary group."
"In other words, as long as we have the support of these two people, there is no need to go through the process of campaigning for group leader, right?" Ian found the key point directly.
"Theoretically, that's the case, but I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy to handle."
"I will take care of the difficult things, and you go and prepare," Ian directly ordered Dorian and his three men. "We will set off later and try to get to Ser Harrison's castle before tonight."
Seeing Ian's insistence, Dorian stopped talking, gave a little salute, and left the room with the others.
"Ser Grantham, you and your people will all come with me later. The deployment at the inn remains unchanged. We will give up the control of the Kingsroad. We will only control this inn for the time being, with Denzel, the Dornishman, in charge of command."
Ser 'Twenty-Five' also took the order and left.
Then Ian used his eyes to send Jenny away, so that he and Rohr were the only two people left in the room.
"Okay, let's do the test now." Ian was going to use Rohr for the first step of the test.
After all, according to the setting that the NPCs rewarded by the system were not bionic people, Rohr himself was also a native of this world.
If Rohr's request could not trigger the task, he would find another way to find someone else to test it.
"So first, let's start with the simplest thing." Ian handed a golden dragon to Rohr. "Remember what I'm going to say next. You read it to me again. If you can help me wash these cups clean, I will pay you this golden dragon as a reward."
"If you can help me wash these cups, I will pay you this golden dragon as a reward." Rohr didn't ask why, just picked up an empty cup on the table and handed it to Ian.
Ding! A prompt sounded in Ian's mind, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and logged into the system to check.
Triggered Mission: Wash the Cup
Mission objective: Clean Rohr's cup.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon.
Additional reward: unknown.
[Accept (consumes 1 point)] [Reject]
"What the fuck? Is that really possible?" Ian suddenly showed a delighted expression.
"Ser? What on earth are you doing?" Rohr finally couldn't bear it any longer. His curiosity was always stronger than that of other religious dead men.
"You can understand it as some kind of religious ceremony," Ian said with a smile as he clicked to reject it. There was a ready-made explanation available, so he didn't need to make it up anymore.
Sure enough, Rohr just lowered his head piously and stopped asking any more questions.
"Then next, use this golden dragon as a reward and ask me to help find Blackfyre's national treasure," Ian continued to order.
"If you can help me find Blackfyre's national restoration treasure, I will pay you this golden dragon as a reward." When he spoke for the second time, Rohr seemed to be much more familiar with it.
Triggered Mission: Blackfyre's Treasure of the Restoration
Mission description: A bandit group known as the 'Ghosts of White Walled City' has been operating near White Walled City. It is said that they are looking for the wealth that Earl Butterwell hid in order to launch the second Blackfyre Rebellion. Rohr hopes that you will help him find this treasure.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon.
Additional reward: unknown.
[Accept (consumes 1 point)] [Reject]
"Yeah!" Ian clenched his fist, "It's true!"
[Accept]
Optional Mission 2: Blackfyre's Treasure of the Restoration
Mission description: Find Blackfyre's Restoration Treasure.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon.
Additional reward: unknown.
Current remaining points: 12
Blackfyre's Restoration Treasure! Well, at least the treasure of Earl Butterwell, Lord of White Walled City. How much does that cost? Fifty thousand gold dragons? Or one hundred thousand?
Ian didn't have much hope for a bigger number. After all, no matter how rich the Earl of White Walled City was, he was just an Earl of the Riverlands, not the Hightower family of Oldtown.
Wait, Ian stroked his chest to calm down his excitement, and he suddenly realized that the bug he found seemed a bit too big.
After all, the triggering mechanism of the optional mission was too simple. It could be triggered by just finding someone and asking them to plead to you.
If this bug was used by players to obtain intelligence, wouldn't it be too fatal?
If you issue a task to capture N players at a certain location, you only need to look at the triggering of the task to confirm how many players are there.
Then, you can narrow down the area in the mission to lock the players' more specific locations.
Thinking of this, Ian shook his head. After grabbing the first blood, he successfully got rid of the threat of the assassination mechanism of the standings, so much so that he forgot the fear that the planning brought to him at the beginning.
How could Yi Gou, who has seven levels of success in digging holes, allow such a fatal bug to exist?
Could this be another trap?
"Then let's talk about this next," Ian suddenly became alert, and he planned to continue the test. "If you can help me go to King's Landing to find Duke Eddard Stark for a duel, then I will destroy this golden dragon. Pay you."
"King's Landing? I think the Lord of Winterfell is afraid at this moment."
"Don't worry, just do it," Ian interrupted Rohr.
"If you can help me go to King's Landing to duel with Lord Eddard Stark, then I will pay you this golden dragon."
Ding! The system beep sounded again.
Triggered Mission: Challenge Eddard Stark
Mission objective: Find Lord Eddard Stark in King's Landing, challenge him to a duel, and defeat him.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon.
Additional reward: unknown.
[Accept (consumes 1 point)] [Reject]
Grass! Ian's face darkened instantly.
This garbage system not only triggered the task, but also did not correct the error message! Using the system to obtain information was indeed a pit planned for players!
"Okay, here's the next sentence," Ian decided to give the system another punch. "If you can help me find the acolytes of the Scourge hiding in the north and destroy them, I will use this golden dragon as the reward and pay it to you."
"If you can help me find the acolytes of the Scourge Legion hiding in the north and destroy them, I will pay you this golden dragon as a reward." The confusion in Rohr's eyes deepened.
Triggered Mission: Acolytes of the Scourge Legion
Mission goal: Find the Scourge acolytes hiding in the north and destroy them.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon.
Additional reward: unknown.
[Accept (consumes 1 point)] [Reject]
"..." Isn't it true that meat and vegetables are not taboo? Ian pinched his eyebrows.
His plan to use the system to obtain intelligence was completely foiled.
Well, if you think about things on the bright side, at least you, who have completed this test, won't be like some other players who don't know this mechanism, completely believing the information in the task description like an idiot, or even doing something that is not probably mission accomplished, isn't it?
