Since the system became my girlfriend

Chapter 167 Asking for help

“According to the information provided by our teacher, our scouts discovered a necromancer laboratory in Lani Valley. Both our teacher and I want to destroy that laboratory. This time, I have other matters to attend to, so the task of destroying the laboratory will be led by our teacher. However, our teacher wants to take you with him, so I had someone summon you here,” Lord Daryl said to Su Rui.

“Marshal Salo values ​​me so highly, I will certainly do my best to help the Grand Marshal complete his mission!” Su Rui said immediately.

"Alright, alright!" Marshal Salo nodded with a smile. He insisted on bringing Su Rui along simply because he felt he had wronged the mercenary last time and wanted to take this opportunity to help him get some benefits.

"Alright, get ready, and then set off with your teacher!" Daryl said to Su Rui, then turned to Marshal Salo: "Teacher, I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."

"Go ahead and get busy!" Salo said to Lord Daril with a smile.

Lord Daryl then turned and left the hall, leaving only Su Rui and Marshal Salo.

"Grand Marshal, when do we depart?" Su Rui asked.

“If you’re ready, we’ll set off now!” Marshal Salo said.

“Alright!” Su Rui nodded, then suddenly took out a letter and said to Marshal Salo, “Grand Marshal, I suddenly remembered, I think I’ve seen the name Lani Valley in this letter before!”

"Oh?! Let me see!" Marshal Salo immediately said.

Su Rui then handed the letter to Marshal Salo. This letter was the one Su Rui had picked up when he and Lord Daril killed that Sansas last time. It mentioned Lani Valley and said that some kind of experimental subject was to be transferred to Lani Valley.

"Hmph! So that's where these undead came from! It turns out it was the Moraka Brotherhood causing trouble!" Marshal Salo roared after reading the letter.

"Grand Marshal, shall we depart now?" Su Rui asked.

"No rush! Your letter provided important intelligence, and I will remember that. I will reward you handsomely after this mission is completed!" Marshal Salo said to Su Rui.

"So what do we need to do now?" Su Rui asked.

“Dalil and I originally planned to destroy that laboratory because, according to the scouts, it wasn’t very big and there weren’t many undead creatures nearby, so we only prepared one squad of soldiers. But if this involves the Moraka Brotherhood and it’s an important laboratory, one squad of soldiers is obviously not enough! We need reinforcements!” Marshal Salo said.

"I see!" Su Rui nodded.

"By the way, mercenary, since you're here, could you do me another favor?" Marshal Salo said to Su Rui.

"Grand Marshal, please give your orders!" Su Rui said immediately.

"I need you to go to Tarrenburg for reinforcements!" Marshal Salo said, taking out a token. He then told Su Rui, "Take this to Tarrenburg, find General Kova, and ask him to send three more squads of soldiers!"

"Ding! Marshal Salo has issued you a mission: Request for assistance! Accept?"

"Yes, Grand Marshal!" Su Rui immediately accepted the mission.

"Alright, here's a map to Tarrenburg. Be careful, the road there is dangerous. Don't linger on the road, and come back quickly!" Marshal Salo said to Su Rui.

"Yes!" Su Rui took the token and map, and then prepared to set off.

"Wait a minute!" Salo stopped Su Rui.

"Grand Marshal, is there anything else you need?" Su Rui asked.

“Go out the back door, and I’ll have someone prepare a horse for you!” Salo said.

"Thank you, Grand Marshal!" Su Rui bowed to Marshal Salo, then immediately turned and left.

Upon arriving at the back gate of the city lord's mansion, Su Rui found a soldier already waiting for him, leading a horse.

"Here, this is what the Grand Marshal asked me to give you!" The soldier handed the horse's reins to Su Rui.

"Ding! You have acquired a warhorse!"

Warhorse

Use: To ride a mount.

Effect: Increases movement speed by 150%!

Note: If you are hit by a heavy blow or a crowd control skill, you will fall off your horse!

After exiting the back gate of the city lord's mansion, Su Rui mounted his horse and rode straight south of the city, following the direction on the map.

After leaving the south gate of Xuanwu City, Su Rui carefully controlled his warhorse to gallop on the main road. The monsters in the south of the city were all at least level 30. If he lured one out, Su Rui could only pray that he wouldn't be knocked off his horse. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to escape from those level 30 monsters.

"It feels pretty good to ride a horse!" Su Rui felt happier and happier as he ran. Given his financial situation, it was impossible for him to ride a horse in real life. Only in the game could he have this experience.

Su Rui has been playing the game "Source" for a while now. The most criticized thing about this game is traveling. It can take half an hour to travel. But after getting a mount, it's a completely different story. Su Rui suddenly felt like he was driving a sports car.

Unfortunately, the monsters in the south of the city were too high-level, so it was impossible for players to appear there at this time. Therefore, no one could see Su Rui riding his warhorse so impressively.

About an hour later, Su Rui finally saw the legendary Tarrenburg!

This was a military fortress. Far from the castle, Su Rui saw roadblocks and barricades, so he had to slow his horse down. After going a little further, Su Rui saw the rangers coming and going.

"Who are you?!" A soldier of level seventy or above rode up to Su Rui on his warhorse. His hand was on the hilt of his saber, and if Su Rui showed the slightest hostility, the soldier would draw his sword and attack.

"I am a messenger sent by Marshal Salo!" Su Rui immediately showed the token given to him by Marshal Salo.

"Marshal Salo's orders? Follow me!" The ranger immediately turned his horse around and galloped off with Su Rui toward Tarrenburg.

With the ranger leading the way, Su Rui was not questioned again until he arrived at the gates of Tarrenburg.

"What's this guy doing?" the soldier guarding the city gate asked.

"He's one of Marshal Salo's men!" the ranger said, then turned and left.

"Mercenary, do you have any proof?" the gatekeeper asked.

"This is Marshal Salo's token!" Su Rui immediately presented the token!

"Open the gate!" After confirming Su Rui's identity, the guards at the city gate did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately opened the city gate and let Su Rui in.

After entering the castle, Su Rui rode his warhorse straight to the inner city.
