Elena flushed. The magic archer lowered her head and revealed a rare gesture similar to that of a baby girl. She raised her hand and took the short bow out of Fei’s hand lightly; her voice was soft, like the fluttering of a mosquito, “Thank you, Mister.”
“Eh……Elena, don’t call me mister anymore. From now on, just call my name directly.” Fei was a little captivated by this mercenary’s looks. He was stunned for a little bit and scratched his head as he smiled.
Elena replied, “Alright, Mister Fei.”
“……”
……
Killing the Countess wasn’t hard.
The location of the quest was at the 【Forgotten Tower】 in the 【Black Marsh】. After entering the tower, they had to go to the deepest floor at level 5 to find the hidden Countess. Every level in the 【Forgotten Tower】 was filled with all kinds of monsters and demons, including some mini-bosses too. The difficulty here was much higher; it was obvious that compared with the moors and plains outside, the underground environment were more suitable for higher leveled dark and undead creatures. Fei and Elena spent a tremendous amount of effort to get to the underground level 5 floor in the 【Forgotten Tower】.
Fei had a good plan; if the situation didn’t turn out well, he would open up a town portal and send Elena back to 【Rogue Encampment】 first and try to take down Countess by himself using the shameless kiting and running tactic. However, as soon as they entered the fifth level, the short bow in Elena’s hands bloomed with blue frost arrows continuously; like a call from the Grim Reaper, the final boss Dark Hunter Countess didn’t even have a chance to chant her magic spell. She was shot by the frost arrows accurately and had a hard time moving. Fei immediately took the opportunity and charged at the Countess while swinging his new axe. In a couple of strikes, the dark hunter had fallen to the ground.
“Damn, why was that so easy?” Fei was surprised.
He realized that Elena’s strength had increased beyond his expectations. That level of damage was equal to the attack of a level 8 magic archer, but Fei clearly remembered that this female rogue was only level 5 when he entered the Diablo world last time. “How did her strength increase this fast?”
When Fei was stunned and thinking, new changes occurred –
Numerous white lightning strikes exploded from the Countess’ corpse and the whole tower began to shake, as if there was a huge earthquake and the sky was falling down. Suddenly, a golden treasure chest appeared out of nowhere; it was surrounded by a white cloud of haze. The chest was like a gold mine, and gold coins flooded out of the opening non-stop.
“Damn! I’m rich!” All Fei could see were gold coins.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered in a layer of gold coins. The gold lights were flashy and bright. There were so many coins that the floors looked like it was layered in gold bricks. The “clinking” sounds of heaven from coins falling out of the chest stopped after about twenty seconds, and then the chest disappeared.
Fei turned around and looked at Elena. He saw the same thing again; it looked like the natives in the Diablo World couldn’t see all the items and rewards that were dropped from the monsters and bosses; Elena hadn’t seen this magnificent scene, and she held onto her bow and guarded Fei. After feeling Fei’s gaze, Elena’s white face turned red instantly; she lowered her head and looked helplessly as she didn’t know what to do.
Fei was stunned yet again by the hot mercenary’s reaction. He really wanted to flirt with her, but before that, he picked up all the items and gold coins first.
It was a little disappointing when the Countess died; not a single rare item had dropped from the final boss in the 【Forgotten Tower】. There were only a couple blue magic items, but at least there were over 5000 gold coins.
After he cleaned up the battleground, Fei looked at his experience bar.
He needed 5 of 6% before he could get to level 13. One hour had passed by already; it was the same as his estimate; more experience would be needed each level, and his leveling speed would slow down as a result.
After killing the Countess, Fei and the hot mercenary immediately rushed to the next quest location – 【Monastery Gate】 at 【Tamoe Highlands】 to complete Charsi’s request. This monastery was the holy place where nuns and monks served god. However, after the monsters and demons took over, it became a miserable hell. What was worth mentioning was that the final boss for the novice map 【Rogue Encampment】- Andariel was also hiding at this place.
