Carter, the hunter, walked around the night to a remote clearing at the back of town, and pointed to the path ahead that was barely visible if you were not careful, shaded by trees and weeds, and said: "You can cross this road to the lake, and in the middle of the lake there is a deserted house, said to be hundreds of years old, and the house is full of old portraits, and the people of the town see the dead as the girl in the portrait." ”

That's why they knew that the dead who appeared by the lake had been dead for hundreds of years.

"Is the deceased a girl......" Night felt a little disappointed after listening to Carter's explanation, because what happened in the town was suspected to be related to necromancy, and there was only one NPC in this game who was proficient in necromancy, and that was the great magician Ambrose! These known events, combined with the clues of the mission, led her to speculate that what happened in the town should be related to Ambrose, but now Carter's explanation proves her guess wrong.

"The kids in the town love to carry the adults to that house for adventure games. Carter, the hunter, didn't hear what the night said, and said to himself: "I used to sneak in to play when I was a child, and although I haven't been there for a long time, I still remember the girl in the portrait......"

Carter had a look of remembrance, but halfway through speaking, he seemed to remember something, patted his head and said, "By the way, do you still have that magic necklace I gave you?"

"That's what you say?" Nightshade pulled a necklace from the collar of the mage's robes. The drop rate of cosmetic items in this game is very low. The necklace has the lowest drop rate in the category of jewelry, and she has never played better, so she still wears this magic necklace without changing it.

"That's it. Carter recognized it at a glance. A little embarrassed, he said, "This magic necklace is what I found in that house...... You know, the people in town think the house is ownerless, so when we play adventure games, if we find something interesting little things, we will take them home as a mysterious treasure from the adventure......"

The night didn't expect this magic necklace to have such a origin, and used the identification technique to check it carefully-

It is a magic necklace that has been blinded by the dust of time. Only a faint ripple of magic remained.

The description on the necklace is the same as before, there is nothing special about it, and the night does not tell why. I stopped researching, put away the necklace and prepared to cross the trail and go to the lake to have a look.

"I'm ......" Hunter Carter followed her for two steps before hesitating and stopped, "I won't go, I'm waiting for you here...... If something happens. You shout at me. ”

"Go back. I'll look for you again if there's something to do. Night, knowing that he was afraid to see the long-dead maiden by the lake, simply let him go, and by herself she used her staff to sweep away the knee-deep weeds, and walked along the faintly visible path.

The trail was narrow and long, and winding among the trees, and she walked for five or six minutes at night before she saw the lake, and then she looked back. The trees and grass were so dense that it was no longer possible to see the town of Yar and the way it came. So hidden, no wonder she came to Yar several times, but never found a lake here.

Since it is difficult for players to discover this lake, and the NPCs are too scared to come, then at this moment, there is naturally no half of a figure near the lake, and even the scenery in front of them is stationary, the only change is the flowing clouds slowly drifting in the sky, and the reflection of the flowing clouds on the clear lake surface.

The night has seen a lot of pleasing scenery in the game, but this quiet lake scenery still made her lose her mind for a moment before continuing to act and walking towards the lake.

There is a suspension bridge leading to the center of the lake by the lake, but it is in disrepair, not only the hanging rope is rotten and broken, but even the wooden planks on the bridge deck are broken in the damp environment, and fresh moss and mushrooms have grown in some places.

It was a three-storey house, with an abandoned garden in front of it, enclosed in a carved iron fence, and when it was night to cross the fence, through the garden, and then up the stone steps, I reached for the gate on the ground floor.

The door was hidden there, and it opened with a "squeak", but the light in the room was so dim that she couldn't see what was going on inside for a while, so she didn't walk in immediately, and she didn't want to hear a series of footsteps with leather boots on the ground in the room a moment later, and she came straight to the door from far and near unhurriedly......

Is there someone in the room? or, is there a monster?

In the case of the surrounding environment is extremely silent, the slightest abnormal sound can make people's hearts beat nervously, not to mention the sound of footsteps that sounds a little mysterious. Although Ye Shi was not too afraid, he also clenched his staff and took two steps back, and only after taking precautions did he raise his voice and ask, "Who is it?"

"It's me. ”

The night just wanted to break the oppression caused by the footsteps in the silence, just say something casually, and didn't expect anyone to answer, so when she really heard the answer, she was stunned, and looked at the long figure that was gradually approaching inside the door with a surprised face, until the figure was completely clear, she was sure that she had no auditory hallucinations and no dazzle, and then asked very curiously: "You, why are you ......here?"

"Guess!" the figure leaned against the doorframe, a smile in her slightly low voice, obviously teasing her, "If I say I'm hiding here to scare you, would you believe it or not?"

The devil believes!

"Cold light-" The night raised his staff, and said with some black lines: "Is it okay to speak seriously?"

That's right, the person who appeared in this house was Hanguang, they had just separated, and Yeji didn't expect him to follow, let alone appear here before him. So I was really surprised when I met him.

"Mission. Hanguang then explained: "After I separated from you, I found a letter from the Pastors' Association in my mailbox, asking me to come over, so I stopped by. As a result, I received the same task as you. ”

Night raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "The same mission?"

"Hmm. Hanguang nodded slightly and said, "Find out the reason for Ambrose's fall." ”

When he said this, the night was even more puzzled: "Didn't you say that this is the main quest......?

"yes, the main quests are generally complicated, and it makes no sense that you did so many pre-quests to get to this point, and I didn't do anything to get the same quest as you. Hanguang smiled bitterly: "I didn't understand this at first, but then I thought about it, the reason why I was able to receive this task." Presumably because I triggered Christol's Emblem quest. ”

Christol ...... The Frost Dragon......

When he mentioned this, Night immediately remembered that he had met him in the ruins of the seabed, when he triggered Christol's Emblem mission. The person who was sent by the head of the priests' association to investigate the undersea ruins coincided with the progress of the task she was doing at that time, so this is also the case now?

Seeing that she understood a little, Han Guangcai continued: "After the investigation task is completed. I've also had quite a few follow-ups. It's just that I didn't pay attention at the time, and I didn't think about it in the direction of the main quest, until I went to the Priests' Guild just now and received the same quest as you, that I thought that those follow-ups were probably part of the main quest. ”

As they were talking, suddenly there was a series of brisk footsteps from inside the door, and then a slightly familiar female voice sounded in the night: "Hanguang, Hanguang, what are you doing by the door......?"

Halfway through the conversation. The voice paused, apparently seeing the night.

And the night saw the owner of the voice. It's really no stranger, it turned out to be the former vice president of the Sword and Rose Guild, and now the president of the Sanctuary Rose Guild, sonorous rose!

"Ha! you're here too!" Sonorous Rose was first surprised when she saw the night, and then she was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over two steps, laughing and teasing her: "Did you also take Ambrose's mission and come here to look for clues, or did you come to accompany your family Hanguang on a mission after a day of missing each other?"

After being with those people in the temple guild for a long time, this kind of Cheng dù's ridicule couldn't change her face at all, and at the moment she just didn't hear the second half of the sonorous rose's words, and said with a slight smile: "I'm talking to Hanguang about this task, could it be that you also took it?" but it was a step ahead of me." ”

Sonorous Rose originally thought that the night was here to accompany Hanguang to do the task, but when she heard her say this, she realized that she had a mistake, and she was stunned for a moment, looked at her and then looked at Hanguang and said: "So the three of us have taken the same task?

Ye Ye also felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, but then her mind moved, and she asked her again: "This mission should be a follow-up for you, right?"

"It's a follow-up mission. Sonorous Rose nodded, and did not hide it: "You should have fought the Plague Heart dungeon, right? The first task I took was triggered by an item dropped by the last boss in this dungeon, and after I handed this item to the Thieves Association, the head of the association asked me to investigate the truth about the destruction of the city of Plague Heart." ”

Ye Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It turned out that the reason for the destruction of the city was related to necromancy?

"Yes. This time it was Hanguang who answered, and he continued: "Rose just told me that she also had several twists and turns when she did this mission, and she helped her a lot with Librarian, so after receiving the task issued by the Thieves Association asking her to track down the cause of Ambrose's fall, she went directly to find Adrian, but she didn't find the NPC like us, so she found it according to the clues given by Dora. ”

"That's right. Sonorous Rose added, "As soon as Dora said it at the time, I thought that what happened here in Yar Town was very similar to the background events of Plagueheart, so I am sure that there must be clues here." ”

I still remember the background events of the Plague Heart very clearly at night, and in retrospect at this moment, it is really very similar to what happened here in Yar Town, so the reason why the three of them were able to receive the same task is really not a coincidence, but this so-called main quest is more complicated than they imagined, just like a dense large spider web, which is structured by countless side quests, and the three of them have come together along these side quests, and they are about to approach the center of the spider web, and the spider crouching there waiting to catch their prey is probably the necromancer AmbroseI just don't know who is the prey and who is the hunter in the end!.
