Chapter 318: Stable

There are two new quests.

The first is to investigate the swamp people in Crooks City, as Jem thought.

"Wait a minute, haven't we killed the swamp people?"

Through the dog's nose of Kappais, a little normal grain was dug out in the house, and Tang Rui, who was cooking rice on the stove, asked in some surprise.

"There are two possibilities."

Because the content hints of the serial quests are different from the main story, side quests, and event quests, and are written very briefly, Jem can only speculate on his own.

"Either the swamp people are parasites, entrenched in this city, and we need to find the 'mother worm' and kill it to complete the mission," Jem continued to deduce along this line of thought as he said what he thought of in order to organize his thoughts, "Either the swamp people themselves are monsters released by some force in this city for some purpose." ”

"Why can't just two or three swamp men sneak into the city, and we can just kill the rest?"

Tang Rui asked, "Obviously, this situation is the simplest and most straightforward......

"Because the mission requirements say 'investigation', if it's the kind of situation you said, then the mission content should be 'elimination' or 'crusade'." Jem replied.

"What a nuisance...... And what about the second article of the mission? Tang Rui stirred the porridge in the crucible hanging from the fire with a spoon, and muttered a little annoyed.

"You can't see it yourself, and it's not that there is no task page."

"......Uh-huh-hmm

The second task seems to be much simpler than the first, that is, after the investigation is completed, find a way to tell the truth of the investigation to the old man Meredith, the lord of Crooks City.

"But it's just what it seems."

Knowing that Tang Rui would not understand the trouble, Jem took the initiative to explain to him: "Telling this condition personally determines that the task itself is not simple! ”

"Really? I don't think it's difficult, even the Koi brothers have managed to infiltrate the Secret Eye stronghold and the Silver Eagle Castle in Tunaia, they can do it, we can't do it, right? Tang Rui said disappreciatively.

It is worth mentioning that Edward, who played a decisive role in those two **, never took the initiative to publicize what happened, and Teshuop and Xibei, two living treasures who were fat and thin, bragged in the tavern all day long, plus both living treasures have the title of Seven Seas Adventurer, which is only available to first-line players, so that many unknown players think that they are really good at stealth...... As everyone knows, their infiltration is to run to the target location, tell jokes and start a war, kill and kill......

"It's not hard to break through the guards' defenses and face to face with each other," Jem is among the players who have been fooled, but this is not the end: "But don't forget that the Swamp People are characterized by killing humans and impersonating each other's appearances, and even reproducing their memories." And this ability, obviously, the more powerful the person is, the more cost-effective it is. And the most powerful man in Crooks City......"

"I see, it's the city lord Old Meredith!"

Speaking of which, Tang Rui understood what Jem meant.

If they were so slow to investigate that by the time they got the truth, Old Meredith had already been killed and replaced by the Swamp People, then even if they managed to report to the other party face-to-face, they would only tell the Swamp People in person, not Old Meredith himself.

In this way, it is equivalent to the entire task process being stuck, and the task can be directly declared unsuccessful.

"So what to do? We don't even have a pig where to start our investigation. Thinking of this, Tang Rui couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, for fear that the mission would fail and he would have to start from scratch and redo the serial tasks.

Although they are very energetic in doing the serial quest in order to change the bloodline of Kappis, it can't hide the cumbersome content of the serial quest and the lengthy process.

It's like playing a game to rush into sections, if you charge towards the highest rank in one go, and there is still a lot of hope depending on the situation, then no matter how troublesome the game is, many people will enjoy playing it.

But if you're one step away from the strongest king, suddenly the server gives you a back, compensate you for some gold coins, and ask you to start from scratch, then presumably many people don't have the mental strength, and will only scold two dogs and go offline directly after the operation, and they won't touch the game again for a long time.

This is what the so-called one blow is vigorous, then declining, and three is exhausted.

"It's true that Crookes City is smaller than Lancaster, but it is built on a mountain and belongs to a mountain city, just the two of us, trying to find a clue to the mission in this kind of place is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack......" Jem scratched his head: "Although I don't really want to trouble others, but now it seems that I can only ask other players for help on the forum." ”

"Would they travel all the way to a place like this to help? There are no resurrection stones to teleport here......"

Tang Rui is a little less optimistic about this.

"It's okay, you think that we received this obviously unusual task when we first came to this city, doesn't that mean that Crookes is a place where there may be a lot of tasks!" Jem has no doubt about the player's initiative to explore the new map: "No one is disgusted with too many quests, especially since the quest madman Mr. Edward is in a leisure period recently, and they will definitely come." ”

"Let's hope so, suck."

"Hey, don't drink all the porridge, save some for me!"

As Jem expected, many players who were tired of hanging out in Lancaster and were gunmen for the nobles immediately organized an advance team, planning to go to Crooks first.

"What about Monsieur Magne?" Arriving at the caravan disguised as the player, Edward discovers that the organizer of the advance party and the funder Manny Wilf are not here: "He's dead again?" But now there is a resurrection ankh, and he seems to have spent money to buy a wave before, so even if he dies, he can be resurrected quickly. ”

"Dead. He stumbled and fell into a pool of acid while on a mission," said Ivan, who was Mani's bodyguard, and spread his hands: "That thing is very thick, and it can't move in it at all, and it can't climb up, it will only sink hard, and it will lose blood due to acid corrosion." It's just that Mr. Mane's +7 sets of resistance have a high high health regeneration speed, and it is estimated that he will die for half an hour depending on the speed of blood deduction...... Now that he had given up struggling, he had gone to the forum to hit the Tiera Cube, and the one on the leaderboard was 65,535 points. ”

"It would be rude to Monsieur Magna to say that, though." Goudan touched the fluff on his chin, and his expression was subtle: "But as soon as I heard him so miserable, I felt that the result of this exploration was stable!" ”

The others nodded heartily.
