I can't be an NPC

Chapter 104 A dragon in disguise?
Led by the four players, Li Wen met the man who was said to be giving them a mission.

The man has light green curly hair, a warm smile, and a somewhat bookish temperament.

The clothes on his body are not like civilian linen, but silk, which looks quite smooth.

Is a mage?

The mage living in a small place is probably one of the few strong men in the village, no wonder he was able to come out to ask for help.

Seeing Li Wen, the man asked with a surprised smile.

"Do you have any help?"

Go up to the Seine River, "Yes, my lord, please lead us to your village, we will help you get rid of those evil guys."

The man rubbed his hands expectantly, "Okay! Okay! I'll take you there right away."

Li Wen raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

All the way over the mountains.

On the peak of a small hill, several people looked down at the mountain village in a valley.

By this time it was approaching dusk.

The windmill turns gently in the evening wind, and the waterwheel weakly brings up clear streams. The streams passing by the village are gurgling, brisk and melodious.

Smoke rises from the chimneys of every household, and the setting sun casts a layer of golden light on the mountain village, which looks peaceful and happy.

"Those evil guys are entrenched in the village, and our village is up to adventurers."

The man exhorted the players sincerely.

"Leave it on us."

Seeing the backs of the four descending the mountain, Li Wen and the man nodded in satisfaction.

What a vibrant young man, so...

"Why are you still here?"

"I should ask you this... Your village is in trouble, and you're here to watch a play?"

The man's face is serious.

"It is precisely because of this that I want to keep the remaining fire. If they also fail, then I have to tell more compatriots the news."

"Sauce purple~"

Li Wen didn't ask, but started to inquire about the news on his own, "Since you live nearby, have you heard the rumors that there are green dragons in the forest where we were just now?"

The man was slightly surprised, "Are you here to find that green dragon?"

"Ah."

"That's just a rumor, no one has seen it."

"But those of us who are in other places have heard that someone has seen the green dragon. You live near here for no reason, don't you know?"

With a kind smile on Li Wen's face, he tilted his head and looked at the other party and said.

The man shrugged helplessly, "Then I don't know, no one here has seen it. What are you looking for him for?"

Li Wen shrugged.

"Friend~"

The man smiled even brighter, "It turns out that there are really people who can be friends with the giant dragon, so you must be a very powerful professional, right?"

"good."

"Then can you please take action and save our village? I can pay you enough!"

With his hands behind his back, Li Wen looked at the backs of those players who had almost disappeared before his eyes.

"I'm here to lead the apprentices to practice."

"But your apprentice seems to have limited ability?"

"That's the challenge they have to face as well."

"Then goodbye... this great mage, I have to find more helpers to save my hometown."

The man said, slowly retreating.

As the man left, Li Wen let out a soft breath.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Wen realized that his back was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

Realizing a certain possibility, Li Wen began to unfold the ritual spell - Leomeng's Hut as calmly as possible.

Only when he was under the protection of the spell effect did Li Wen's heart start beating violently.

He began to recall the description of the green dragon in the "Monster Illustrated Book"——

[Green dragons may not be as powerful or destructive as some of their relatives, but they are born and instinctive liars, and they lie as easily as they eat and drink, and they are good at it.They love intrigue, preferring deceit and double-dealing to achieve their goals more than any other means.Any beast will hunt, but they will use their skill and intelligence to trick their prey into falling into their trap.To a green dragon, weak creatures are either prey or pawns, and to it, almost all creatures are weak. 】

[However, they have the inherent arrogance of giant dragons, so that they are unwilling to let go of their arrogant figure while deceiving.So they often show their flaws in playing poor characters who are suffering.And if people who turn a blind eye to such flaws will only get a "stupid" evaluation after being played by them. 】

[At the same time, green dragons are also among the chromatic dragons most likely to encroach on nearby humanoid communities.Some green dragons intimidate their neighbors into submission, while others manipulate and participate in local political and commercial interests.A green dragon might use bribes and threats to gain the cooperation of certain chosen members of a community, then use its proxies to gain as much power as possible before other humanoids discover its underlings.Green dragons may not have grand goals in this manipulative behavior; they simply enjoy the process and the action.If territories and resources do not overlap, green dragons may reach an agreement to peacefully coexist with their neighbors.However, anyone entering into such a treaty should exercise great vigilance.Green dragons have an unholy penchant for gaming such agreements. 】

Of course, the players don't care about all the camouflage of the aborigines. They are naturally separated from the game world, and it is difficult for them to find the green dragon's indifference to human compatriots when playing humans.

However, Li Wen will not ignore this sense of disobedience.

Moreover, the nature of green dragons makes them like to intervene in human affairs and take pleasure in it.

There is a strong man like Helen sitting in Jianfeng City, and the city is well-defended, so it's okay for him to interfere.

However, it would be unrealistic to say that there are no rumors about it in the small towns and villages around Jianfeng City.

If chromatic dragons can restrain their evil desires, they will not be enemies in the eyes of humans.

When he realized this, Li Wen didn't show any abnormality, and even took the initiative to speak out.

And sure enough, when he said that he was a friend of Green Dragon, the sarcasm in the eyes of the other party was undisguised.

Li Wen never expected that the target he was looking for might appear in front of his eyes in this form.

The nature of the green dragon is to play with intelligent creatures. If it finds out who is beyond its plan, there are only two possible outcomes——

One is to be ruthlessly shredded, as the price of a smart person; the other is to be subjected to more complicated tests by it, until it plays with it in the palm of its hand.

When you don't know whether this green dragon has a tyrannical temperament, pretending that you haven't noticed anything abnormal is the way to live longer.

Never before has Li Wen's need for the trigger technique been so strong.

If you have the protective spells specified by the trigger technique attached to your body, then even if you fall into the situation just now, you won't panic.

After all, a possible humanoid dragon is close at hand, and if it suddenly explodes, I may not have enough time to hang up the spells one by one, or even simply open the portal to the space of the corrupted moon.

And just relying on the arcane defense feature on his body, Li Wen didn't know if he could save his own life, and he didn't intend to try.

Of course, these are Li Wen's guesses.

But even if the man wasn't a green dragon in disguise, he wasn't human in all likelihood.

Right now, there is another more realistic problem...

How can Ah Zhi and the others attack this guy who may be in the form of a green dragon, and at the same time, prevent him from knowing that it is his own gesture.

If you find everything, you can't just return empty-handed.

……

Players have their own set of strategies for exploring the world and completing tasks.

Every time you arrive at a brand new map, the first thing to do is... bind the resurrection point.

Otherwise, if one is not careful and dies back to the city, the journey will be in vain.

……

It wasn't until the night was dark that Li Wen, who was in Leomeng's hut, saw the figures of several people coming back.

After making sure that there were no abnormalities around, Li Wencai walked out.

"what's the situation?"

"What about the grown-up?"

Looking up, down, left, and right along the banks of the Seine.

"He's off to get more help."

Miss Ranger puffed her cheeks.

"Damn it! You don't even believe us!"

Li Wen asked again: "What's the situation in the village?"

General Quansheng replied: "We didn't go in, but just observed around for a while. We didn't find any abnormalities, and we didn't see the phenomenon of oppression that the adult said. Those civilians seem to be living a normal life."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Ah Zhi giggled, "It's getting late, I have to go to bed."

Miss Ranger is also like this, "Me too, girls can't stay up late."

"sleep?"

Li Wen's face darkened.

"How can you sleep at this age? Only those who have no effect on this world will rest! You are the elite, the pillars of this world, and there is a village that is suffering in front of you waiting for your rescue! You How did you manage to sleep? Go! Sneak in if you can’t find any news from the outside. There are no unreasonable commissions, understand?”

"..."

The four players looked at each other, and then responded.

"Understood, my lord."

"and many more!"

While talking, Li Wen took out a few slices of dried carrots from his pocket, and approached several people, "Hold them in his mouth."

After spending three second-level spell slots and one third-level spell slot, and slapping everyone with a second-level spell—dark vision, Li Wen waved his hand, "Go."

60nd Level Spell—Darkvision (Modification): You touch a willing creature and grant it the ability to see in the dark. For the duration of the spell, the creature has darkvision out to 0.5 feet.Release time: 8 seconds.Duration: up to [-] hours.Cooldown: None.Casting Range: Reach.

Even professionals, if they don't have relevant specialties or characteristics, their vision in the dark will not be very good.

The night has never been friendly to humans, which is why most players are reluctant to go out in the wild in the dark.

Among the low-level spells, there are two spells that can make people see in the dark-light spell and dark vision.

One is a trick, and the other is a second-ring spell.

But one is to allow oneself to see things, and the other is to light up the environment to create bright conditions, and the forms of achievement are different.

While the lighting technique allows oneself to observe the environment, it also exposes oneself to the eyes of others. Li Wen doesn't like it.

After not needing to light up the exclamation mark on the top of his head, Li Wen replaced the light technique he had learned with freezing rays.

Looking at the backs of the four of them leaving, Li Wen said in a calm tone: "The dark night is often a breeding ground for hidden sins, keep your eyes open."

The green dragon may like to cheat, but when interacting with players, he also needs to follow the rules set by the gods—equal exchange.

Whether that man is a green dragon or not, he will never do meaningless things.

The greater possibility is to borrow a knife to kill someone.

There must be something wrong in this village.

Li Wen was not very interested in the entanglement between the village and the green dragon itself.

He just wanted to take advantage of the contradiction between the two and squeeze both sides as much as possible.

In other words, let the player beat both sides.
