"What did Daniel ask you to find me for?" He slowly raised his head and his soulless gaze locked onto Jack.
Jack took out the letter from his backpack: "The reason for finding you is written in the letter."
"Swish!"
The thin man got up from the stone. In the next second, he directly reached Jack, took the letter, and opened it to read.
So fast!
Jack secretly clicked his tongue.
This didn't seem like the speed that an obsidian-level BOSS should have. Was he really resurrected by Daniel?
"So that's it."
After a moment, he raised his head and carefully sized up Jack: "I said why there was an evil and strange aura on you. Hehe, Dark Swordsman... It seems that the chaotic times are coming. Besides many heroic figures born in the Light Faction, many creatures that bring disaster to the world have also reappeared."
"..."
Jack was speechless.
"Daniel hopes that I teach you some skills of the Undead Swordsman." He put away the letter and said calmly, "Okay, but the rules of this world restrict me. If you want to learn, you must first complete the quest I issue."
The rules of this world restrict you?
Hearing this, Jack couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "How do you all view... the rules of the world?"
It seemed that these natives all saw things extremely clearly and knew the so-called "process". This was too incredible for NPCs.
Wasn't the official of "Eternal" afraid that the NPCs would do some unexpected behaviors that would cause the entire game to crash?
Or was it that their knowledge of the "rules" was also some kind of special setting?
"Rules are rules. Since they exist, only obey." The man's mouth curved into a meaningful smile. His dull eyes were calm and he looked straight at Jack, "Even the Ten Ancient Demon Gods couldn't break them. Let alone me."
"Then will you pursue breaking the rules?" Jack continued to ask.
The man shook his head: "I'm afraid before I break them, the rules will wipe me out... Alright, some things are too early for you. When you grow into a Dark Swordsman that makes the world tremble, then pursue the answer. As for now... Kill some Rotten Bones to prove that you are qualified for me to teach you the skills of killing."
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Proof of Qualification]!
"Yes!"
Jack naturally wouldn't refuse.
[Proof of Qualification] (Difficulty: B)
Introduction: As the mysterious strongman in the Ghost Marsh, the Undead Swordsman · Cheriel requires you to prove that you have enough strength for him to teach you the skills of killing.
Quest Requirements: Kill 1,000 Rotten Bones
...
One thousand?!
Jack looked at the number required by the quest and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your attack is relatively good, but your overall strength is weak and still needs tempering." As if seeing through Jack's thoughts, Cheriel explained, "Otherwise, you don't even have the qualification to receive my teachings."
"Okay." Jack nodded.
He could understand the meaning in the other party's words.
Obviously, Cheriel was reminding him that his level was too low and didn't meet the minimum requirements for skill learning.
Cheriel waved his hand: "Go. Just call me when the quest is completed."
With that, he stepped into the mist. In just two seconds, he disappeared without a trace. The speed was incredibly fast.
Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock at night. Jack decided to stay up late and finish the quest first.
In the siege battle a week later, as one of the defending BOSSes of the city, he was very dangerous. He must improve his strength as much as possible within the limited time to avoid falling into the hands of players or NPCs sent by the Light Faction to attack the city.
