Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

"She's your brother? But you two look..."

Feili blurted out the words subconsciously, and when Ye Qing touched her lightly, she realized that she was still rash and immediately covered her mouth.

Although it is unclear what the background of the young captain in front of him is, he probably has some mission.

Ye Qing did not rush to speak, but slowly put away his justice to show that he had no hostility.

"Two adventurers, I sincerely hope that you will not reveal this secret. In exchange, I will introduce you to the nobles of the empire."

Captain Zhengtai was like a seasoned businessman at this moment and started to discuss terms with Ye Qing and the others.

Seeing his look, Ye Qing had no intention of pressing him any further.

"Dear Captain, my companion and I were the ones who acted rashly just now. I haven't asked for your name yet."

There is obviously room for communication with such an NPC, and Ye Qing hopes to take this opportunity to improve his favorability.

Captain Shota was a little surprised, but still pointed to the old wooden sign on the table.

"Just call me Captain Rhodes."

Chapter 57 Cape of the Sea

"Captain Rhodes...please forgive my friend and I for our rudeness just now. We will definitely keep this secret for you."

Ye Qing sighed softly. She really didn't expect that the captain would have such a special situation.

Rhodes should not be a first name, but a last name.

Although Captain Ye Qing had no impression of him, she did have an impression of the last name Rhodes.

The four great nobles of the empire: Hades, Limon, Falion, and Rhodes

These will be the four major NPC camps that are very important in the upcoming plot of the Empire. Ye Qing originally planned to follow his past mission route.

When Ye Qing thought of this, he frowned immediately.

It seems that there are exactly four ships coming to pick up the adventurers. Could it be that the other three...

"Adventurer, it's not that I don't trust you. Plus, you saved my soldiers before, so logically I owe you a favor, but..."

It is hard to imagine that such words would come out of the mouth of a half-grown boy like Rhodes.

The maturity that was not in line with his age, and the strange "girl" Lola who followed him, all made Ye Qing and Feili full of curiosity about him.

Having said this, Rhodes took out a slightly yellowed parchment from his drawer.

The task prompt popped up in front of Ye Qing and Feili. Without any hesitation, they clicked the confirmation button.

Mission: Rhodes's Contract

Mission Description: Sign a confidentiality agreement with Rhodes. If violated, 5 points of the player's current random attribute will be deducted.

Mission Reward: 30% of the favorability reward for the Rhodes camp

"Sign this contract. After you arrive in the empire, I will introduce you to the nobles of the empire and provide more convenience for your actions in the empire."

Rhodes handed the parchment to the two men, and as the button to confirm the mission was pressed, a bright red emblem appeared on the parchment.

Ye Qing and Feili also had an inexplicable feeling, as if when this contract was established, they were bound by something.

This feeling is not very good, at least for Ye Qing.

"Phew...you two, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you just saved my personal soldiers, please accept this small gift."

After taking back the parchment scroll and seeing the bright red emblem on the contract, Captain Shota seemed to feel relieved.

He pushed a wooden box that had been prepared on the table forward and slowly opened it.

"This is!!"

Even Ye Qing couldn't help but breathe faster at this moment.

Legendary Material: Cape of Poseidon

Material description: A broken horn from the sea beast Leviathan. Ordinary iron and fire cannot melt it, but it seems that using it directly as a weapon is also a good choice.

"Leaves? Do you want to take them?"

Fili was still relatively cautious. She didn't react the moment the "girl" Lola appeared just now. She was a little worried that this would happen again.

After seeing the message in the private message channel, Ye Qing walked straight forward.

"Captain Rhodes, I believe you can see the value of this thing. But saving the soldiers and keeping it secret is not enough to exchange for such a treasure, right?"

Is this thing valuable?

Of course it is valuable! There are only five sea beasts in the entire Valar Sea, and Leviathan is the most ferocious one among them.

Even in the later stages when players and NPCs jointly launched a dungeon, the failure rate of the Leviathan crusade mission remained high.

Not to mention collecting such complete materials from Leviathan, it is simply a fantasy!

Even if Fili didn't know the value of this thing, as someone who had experienced it, Ye Qing knew its value very well.

"It seems that Miss Ling is a connoisseur of goods. Yes, I am handing this thing over to you, and I also hope to ask you for a favor."

Rhodes nodded slightly, and it was obvious that Ye Qing's knowledge was recognized by him. This time he put on the Poseidon Cape just to test Fili and Ye Qing again.

After hearing what Rhodes said, Ye Qing still kept his hand on the box.

"And what do you wish?"

The task panel popped up again, and this time even Ye Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

The reason was simple: the development of this mission had completely exceeded the imperial voyage that she remembered.

Limited Time Mission: Protect Captain Rhodes

Mission Description: There are countless threats waiting for you on the way to the Empire's Valar Sea. Please protect Captain Rhodes' safety before the ship arrives safely at the Empire.

Mission Reward: Cape of the Sea Emperor

Tip: The integrity of Cape Poseidon depends on the player's task completion. Please complete the task actively.

Good guy!

Ye Qing had no doubt that if he had taken the Poseidon Horn directly, the system would have given him a piece of junk with zero integrity, or the girl Laura would have come up and started fighting.

"We have accepted this mission."

Ye Qing nodded and took the lead in pressing the button to accept the task.

At the same time, on other ships.

"If you know what's best for you, get out of here! I won't keep you company!"

Feng Liaoyuan glared at the naval soldiers in front of her. She never expected that she had just completed a combat mission, but ended up being entangled by these naval soldiers.

The man she knocked down just now didn't seem to be an ordinary person, which was why he was surrounded by this group of people.

Many people simply waited outside to see Feng Liaoyuan make a fool of herself. The noisy noises around her made her veins pop out.

"Everyone, please give way."

A lazy voice came from behind the soldiers, and a young man in a golden robe with a deer pattern separated the crowd and came to Feng Liaoyuan with two soldiers.

"Who are you?"

Feng Liaoyuan held the staff vigilantly, the Red Dragon spell was ready to be unleashed.

The two soldiers led by the young man in the deer-patterned robe are both level 70, which is obviously higher than the surrounding soldiers, which is enough to illustrate their specialness.

"This is not the place to talk, but... Miss Feng, I believe I have a mission, and the conditions are definitely difficult for you to refuse."

The young man in the deer-patterned robe did not make any gestures. Instead, he looked at Feng Liaoyuan with great interest, with his hands behind his back, waiting for her answer.

task?

Having said that, Feng Liaoyuan came to his senses a little.

"I was wondering why there is an urgent challenge right at the start...Okay, let's find a place where it's convenient to talk."

Feng Liaoyuan snorted. After all, there was no need to worry about anything happening in the game world. No matter how realistic this thing was, it was still under control.

"Then please follow me to the bottom of the cabin for a chat, Miss Feng."

Chapter 58 Helper

This kind of thing happened not only on the ship where Feng Liaoyuan was, but also on the other two ships.

Some of the more outstanding players were invited by the captain and went to the bottom of the cabin or the captain's room, where they received a task that surprised them quite a bit.

However, at this moment, they still don't know what these tasks will trigger in the next voyage.

After leaving the cabin, Ye Qing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

From the moment the Rhodes family appeared, she began to realize that the plot had changed drastically.

In the original voyage version of the Empire, ships heading to the Empire had to face sea beasts and monsters from the ocean, and most players would accumulate favorability with the Empire camp at this time.

But everything changed. The intervention of the four major families prevented what should have happened from happening, and also provided a path that had never been seen before.

"Ye Zi, it's a protection mission, does that mean there will be monsters attacking us during this entire voyage?"

Naturally, Fili had taken on escort missions before. Since she was going to protect the young captain, she naturally had to do her homework in advance.

Based on Fili's understanding of Ye Qing, although she didn't know how much Ye Qing knew about the new map, it would not be wrong to ask Ye Qing.

"There will definitely be monsters, but we haven't reached the sea area where monsters will appear yet. I am more worried about other things..."

Many possibilities have emerged in Ye Qing's mind, but the biggest possibility may be a confrontation between players.

If Rhodes can recruit protectors, then families like Limon and Hades can also recruit protectors, or assassins.

By this calculation, three days seems too "long".

"How many of us are on this ship?"

While Ye Qing was asking Fili, he had also opened the guild interface and sent a message to everyone.

"Besides Bai Xue and I, it seems that there is only Xiao Xin here. However, Xiao Xin came here with her friends. Manying and Yueliang are both part-time workers and don't have time..."

While Fili was talking, Ye Qing also noticed that Huaze Baixue had not yet quit the guild, probably wanting to wait until she reached the Empire before quitting the guild.

Sea of ​​clouds fantasy...

Ye Qing had a pretty good impression of this guild, but now was not the time to reveal the mission information.

Even if they want to cooperate, they have to go through "negotiation" first. In terms of numbers alone, Ye Qing has no advantage at all, and she can't stay on the boat for three days without rest.

"Xiao Xin replied. She said she is at the bow. Shall we go over there now?"

Feili soon received a reply from Zhao Xin, and judging from the reply...

"She seems to be in a little trouble. We need to hurry."

Just as Fili said, Zhao Xin, who was now at the bow of the ship, really ran into some "little trouble".

At this moment, she was holding a figure tightly with both her arms, and at the other end of the figure was a huge, red tentacle!

The jet on his waist had already been activated, but with Zhao Xin's strength, he could hardly maintain this stalemate.

"What the hell is this!!!"

Zhao Xin clenched her teeth. She didn't dare to use the jet on her waist to bomb the tentacles, for fear that she would not be able to hold on to the tentacles if she changed direction.

More and more players noticed this place, but most people just stood by to watch the fun.

Who knows if this is her job? If she interferes, she might end up in a thankless situation.

"It's over, it's over..."

The young man who was tightly wrapped by the tentacles had a look of defeat on his face. He now felt as if he was about to be torn into two pieces by a huge force, and he had no control over himself.

Who would have thought that just standing at the bow of the ship and enjoying the scenery, you would suddenly be swept away by a tentacle?

Just when the young man was ready to be ejected, a figure suddenly passed by him.

"Hold on tight, Xiao Xin!!"

The red and gray dagger suddenly spun and slashed through the red tentacles, and inky blood began to gush out from the tentacles.

The healing light also fell, causing the youth's health points, which had been lost due to the tearing of the tentacles, to continue to rise.
