Chapter 253: Return to Yar

The high-level epic equipment in the game usually comes with special effects after collecting a set, and after the night takes over the task, the set of equipment that Langton gives her can increase the speed of mana recovery, but the current level of the night is not enough, and it is useless to put it on, so I had to temporarily put that set of equipment in the storage box.

As for what to do with the investigation task she received, Ye Xiao didn't have a clue yet, and after discussing it with Hanguang, she decided to try her luck in the library first to see if she could find out what news from Adrian.

She was right in this way, because when this series of quests first started, she got a follow-up clue from the librarian Adrian, which showed that Adrian was an indispensable part of these quests, and an important NPC that could promote the progress of the quest, but I don't know if it was bad luck or her wrong idea, when she rushed to the library, she actually pounced.

Adrian was not in the library, but he searched the library in the dark and cold light, but found a little girl of six or seven years old in the corner of a shelf, who was kneeling on the ground, nibbling on the apple in her hand, and flipping through the picture books spread out in front of her.

There are no players of such a young age in the game, and just looking at the little girl's extremely obvious Western features, he also knows that she should be an NPC, so Hanguang squatted down, touched the little girl's hair, and asked her in a low voice, "Do you know where the librarian has gone here?"

"Do you mean Adrian?" the little girl was not afraid of life at all, and had an apple in her mouth. "I don't know where he is, he's been going out a lot lately, and he's been gone for days at a time." But he always left a small bag of silver coins for me to buy something to eat. ”

As she spoke, she pulled the pink ribbon tied around her neck, pulled out a small money bag that was hanging close to her body, and said softly, "You know what? My father is a cook, and he cooks a lot of delicious food......

The little girl was halfway through her words, when she suddenly stared at the night standing behind Hanguang, and a confused look appeared on her little face. As if trying to think of something, he muttered, "Master, why do I think you look familiar?"

It's not just that she looks familiar to the night. The night looked at her and felt very familiar, but she didn't think about it for a while, and when she asked like this, the night felt that the little face in front of her coincided with a certain face in her memory. Unconsciously asked tentatively, "You are." Dora?"

"Yes, I'm Dora!" the little girl cried out cheerfully, "You know my name!

Ye Shi nodded, not only had she seen it, she had also done the task of escorting her!

The NPC named Dora in front of her is the little girl who Nightlight had escorted in the misty forest outside Yar, her father Tibas is the chef of Yarl Town, and Nightlight learned the cooking skills from him, just after recognizing this little girl. The night felt strange instead, and he took two steps closer and crouched down in front of her. Asked her, "Isn't your home in Yar, why are you here now?"

Dora shrank when she heard this question, a look of fear appeared on her little face, and she whispered, "Yar Town...... The town of Yar is now haunted......"

"Haunted?" was a surprise to the night, and she wondered what it would look like if it was also haunted in the game, a skeleton, a ghost, or a wraith?

After continuing to ask, the night understood what had happened.

There is a lake near the town of Yar, where the townspeople used to see the long-dead wandering around the lake, as Dora called a haunting. Of course, there are more monsters in this game, if you just see the dead come out and wander, the people in the town are not too afraid, the reason why they are terrified, it is because everyone who has seen the dead, after going back, without exception, will fall into a high fever coma, and then the skin on the body begins to fester, some of them die, and what is even more terrible is that after the people in the town bury the dead, within three or five days, those dead will become zombies, and crawl out of the grave by themselves, staggering around the town......

As Dora spoke, she recalled the scene that frightened her, her eyes quickly sparkled, and her voice trembled: "A lot of people I know are sick and dead...... Adelion was passing by our town, and after seeing the sick people, he told the mayor that they were all infected with necromancy...... My father, fearing that something would happen to me, begged Adrian to take me out of town, and I followed him here......"

Speaking of this, Dora's tears fell, her face was full of worry, and she looked at the night and pleaded: "My father said that Yar Town is our home, and he will stay there until the matter is over, and he will not leave with me, I am very worried, and I don't know how he is now, Mage, can you please help me go to Yar Town?"

The night came to find Adrian to find out the news, and she didn't want to take on any other tasks, but looking at Dora, who was crying pitifully, she still softened her heart, and besides, Dora's mission seemed to involve necromancy, and maybe it was related to Adrian's whereabouts, and she might be able to find the librarian in the town of Yar, so she nodded and agreed to Dora's request.

After coming out of the library, Nightlight felt that she could handle the two unfinished tasks at hand alone, so she asked Hanguang to go about his own business, and she rushed to the town of Yar alone.

After leaving the city, she first used the magic teleportation array, and then transferred to the flying mount, and in three or five minutes, the night had already arrived at the destination, but she did not rush in, but lowered the flight altitude, and flew around the town of Yar, and sure enough, after seeing the lake and the zombies wandering around the town that she didn't notice at the beginning, she picked a place where there were no players and landed, and walked into the town as low-key as possible.

Yar Town is a low-level town where novices gather, and the NPCs here are only twenty or thirty levels, and the level has not increased after becoming zombies, so it can't threaten the players who come here for task trading at all, so the zombies on the road leading to the town have been cleared, and the night is unimpeded all the way through, and occasionally a zombie blocking the way is refreshed, and she waved her staff and went straight away.

After entering the town, she did not delay, and went directly to Dora's house to find the chef Tibas, but when she reached the door, she saw a paladin rushing out of it shouting bad luck, and if she hadn't reacted quickly and dodged, the two would have almost collided.

"You're here to learn how to cook, too?" the paladin asked her apologetically, but without waiting for her to answer, he said to himself: "If so, I advise you not to go in, the chef is lying there unconscious, you better go somewhere else to learn." ”

Ye Shi frowned slightly and said, "Comatose?"

"yes. The paladin said depressedly: "Others say that this town has recently been cursed, and I still don't believe it when one or two NPCs are unconscious every day, but I still came to this chef to learn how to cook, but he was fine when I took the task just now, and when I finished the task and came to hand it in, he was in a coma, what a bad luck!"

As he spoke, he shook his head and walked in the direction of leaving town, and the night stood still and thought about his words for a moment, thinking that things were too coincidental, why did she just take over Dora's visitation mission, and this chef Tibas passed out? Could it be that Dora's quest is the condition used to trigger Tibas's coma? So how will the next quest develop? What should she say to Dora when she returns? She won't coax a crying little girl, even if it's an NPC!

The night rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and finally entered Dora's house, and saw Tibas fall to the ground, as if he had suddenly passed out, so he moved him to the bed, and then reached out to test the temperature on his forehead, and found that it was really hot, it was the kind of high fever that Dora said, but probably because of the onset of the disease, Tibas did not seem to be abnormal on the outside, and the skin was intact, and there was no sign of ulceration.

These discoveries can only verify Dora's statement, but they can't solve any problems, and the night has sorted out his thoughts, and feels that if he wants to save people, he still has to investigate the cause of the incident first, so he walks out of Dora's house and goes to find the hunter Carter.

This time she was lucky, Carter didn't go out hunting, he didn't go into a coma like Tibas, and he even remembered her, and when he saw her, he recognized her as a kind mage who had given him a skill book.

Night's description of the kind mage is really helpless, but he can't be serious with the NPC, so he directly asks Carter about what has happened in the town recently.

Carter's account is not much different from Dora's, that is, it is more detailed, but as he gradually talks about the cause of the incident, there is a detail that catches the attention of the night, and she can't help but interrupt Carter and ask, "You said that the dead man that the townspeople first saw by the lake was someone who had been dead for hundreds of years?"

"yes, that's the weirdest part of the whole thing. Carter's face showed a confused look: "We can't figure out why people who have been dead for hundreds of years and should have turned into white bones a long time ago would still appear in the town vividly......

"That's not right!" Nightshade interrupted him again, "If it's really someone who has been dead for hundreds of years, how can you recognize it?".

(To be continued......)
