"The goal of this quest is to find a magic book, this magic book is said to have been written by Abe Eyeaki, the most famous onmyoji in our island country, which clearly records what Abe Eyeaki saw and heard in the early days of his career and the spells he mastered, so the value of this magic book is very high, but the most important thing is that this magic book may record a treasure place." Takeda Honglong said seriously: "The legend about this treasure place has not been circulated among the people, so only some big families at that time know - there was a secret church that believed in deep divers and obtained a batch of treasures, which were said to have been given to them by Dagong, the head of deep divers, and as a result, the secret church was exterminated by the daimyo because of a conflict with the nearby daimyo. ”

"However, before they were exterminated, those treasures were hidden elsewhere by the secret church, and since then these treasures have disappeared, and the surrounding daimyo have tried to search for them in their own territory, but they still found nothing; But many years later, an onmyoji who was on night duty in the Onmyoliao was passing by Abe's room when he heard Abe talking to a good friend of his, during which he mentioned that Abe knew that the treasure was hidden there a long time ago, but because the treasure was so dangerous, he never told others, but just wrote it down in a diary. ”

Liu Xing nodded, it seems that this is still a series of side quests.

If his group can find the magic book written by Abe Eyeaki, and there is really a treasure hidden place in it, then his group will definitely continue to look for that treasure place.

However, the contribution of this side quest reward should not be less, and it may even involve crucial victory points.

So Liu Xing said without hesitation: "Since this is the case, then let's find this magic book... ”

But before Liu Xing could finish speaking, Ding Kun on the side suddenly said: "I have a question I want to ask, that magic book is strictly speaking, Abe Mingming's diary when he was young, so how could this magic book be left outside, shouldn't this be in the hands of Abe Qingming's family, after all, Abe Qingming's family can be said to be beyond the world, so it has always stood tall, and it has never declined." ”

This is indeed a problem.

Just like Zhang Jingxu said, Abe's descendants have always served in the official Yinyangliao of the island country, and Yinyangliao, as a special institution similar to Huaxia Daomen, is in an absolutely neutral state at any time, so although the rights of the island country have been constantly changing over the past few hundred years, the Yinyangliao has not been greatly affected, and Abe's family has been safe.

So as Abe's diary when he was young, it stands to reason that it is impossible to be out of exile now.

Takeda Honglong also guessed that someone would ask this question, so he replied directly: "Here's the thing, at that time, Abe Akira slay demons in Heiankyo and quickly made a name for himself, so he attracted the attention of many mythical creatures and secret churches, and you should also know very well that the so-called yin-yang magic is actually from the same source as those spells used by mythical creatures and fanatics, and it can almost be said that there is no difference, so there is a secret church that does not enter the stream. wanted to steal some spells from Abe Eyeaki for his own use, so Abe's diary when he was young was stolen. ”

It turns out that there is still this kind of operation.

"And where is this magic book now?" Yin Eun asked.

Takeda Honglong took a sip of water and said with some concern: "According to the clues we have gotten, it has been determined that this magic book should be in a place called Sayama Town in Toyama Prefecture, because there is an abandoned shrine named Heiming there, and the secret church that stole the magic book back then believed in a god named Heiming. ”

"It's Toyama Prefecture." Liu Xing frowned and said: "Toyama Prefecture is located in the middle of Tokyo and Osaka, and the distance from Tokyo and Osaka is not much different, which means that Toyama Prefecture is on the front line of the war between the samurai faction and the public faction, and if I remember correctly, Toyama Prefecture is still in a neutral state, and has not decided to go that way." ”

Takeda Honglong nodded, and said helplessly: "That's right, because Toyama County is on the central axis of the power of the samurai faction and the public faction, so both factions have co-opted the local real power figures, and as a result, Toyama County is still in a state of vacillation, and I heard that whether it is our samurai faction or the public faction opposite, many people have been sent to lurk in Toyama County, and when Mr. Shimazu announces the start of the Gongwu War, Toyama County will definitely set off a bloody storm, At that time, Toyama Prefecture may become a battlefield, and it may also become a buffer zone, so if you accept this exploration mission, there is a chance that you will encounter people from the public faction in Toyama Prefecture. ”

It turns out that this is still a side quest with confrontation.

When they heard that this side quest was taking place in Toyama Prefecture, Liu Xing and the others realized that this mod was a confrontation mod nine times out of ten, because Toyama Prefecture was in the middle of the public faction and the samurai faction, so the players of the two factions arrived at the mission location at almost the same time.

Of course, the premise is that at this time, players on the side of the public faction also receive this side quest.

Without further ado.

These four words suddenly popped up in Liu Xing's mind.

"Sayama Town is located in the mountainous area in the southern part of Toyama Prefecture, because the population of the island country has been flowing to the big cities in recent years, so the population of Sayama Town is only about ten households, and there are no outsiders staying in Sayama Town almost all year round, so if you really want to accept this exploration mission, you can take some remote routes into Sayama Town, so that you can avoid short-term contact with people from the public faction, which is why I wanted to accept this exploration mission myself at the beginning, Because the ghouls behind me are not going down the beaten path. Takeda continued.

Liu Xing nodded and asked Zhang Jingxu and the others, "Do we want to accept this exploration mission?" ”

"I think we can accept this exploration mission, and after the meeting between Miyin and the others, we can go to Toyama Prefecture with a message to Miyin, and then it will take a day or two at most to determine whether the magic book is in the Black Ming Shrine or not." Yin En said seriously.

"I agree with Yin Eun's opinion, as long as we go to Toyama Prefecture as soon as possible to complete the mission, we should not meet people from the public faction, and even if we meet people from the public faction, their number should not be much more than ours, after all, it is impossible for everyone to make a big deal about such a thing and send a large team of dozens of people to deal with it." Ding Kun nodded and said.

In the Cthulhu Run game lobby, four to six players are considered the best team size for players, because the number of mods is usually more than three, so it is easy for a three-person squad to match unfamiliar teammates in the mod; The difficulty of the mod in the Cthulhu Run game lobby has always been linked to the number of people, so after the induction and summary of many players, it was found that the difficulty of the seven-player mod is generally extremely difficult, while the difficulty of the six-player mod is difficult.

Judging from the current situation, there should be no player squad who wants to share their side quests with other squads, especially side quests with good rewards like this, so Liu Xing and the others can be sure that their party should not encounter multiple public faction squads in this side quest, so the number of people on both sides should be about equal.

So, Liu Xing and others received this side quest from Takeda Honglong.

At this moment, Sawada Yayin also came to this lounge, and Takeda Honglong also left first.

After a short exchange, Sawada Yayin was very supportive of Liu Xing and the others' actions, "In the meeting just now, in order to prevent some families or secret churches from not contributing to their work, we decided to set up a point system internally to measure how much each family and secret church contributed to the samurai faction, so the tasks issued by the dispatch office like Takeda Honglong are the most basic channels for obtaining points, and completing the exploration task is the best way for us to obtain points, after all, we only have such a few people." ”

For those families and secret churches that have more available manpower, they only need to send low-level members to accept defensive tasks to get a lot of points, and the Sawada family has only a few available manpower, and Sawada Yayin must also stay in Osaka, Chen Fuping can't always follow Liu Xing and others, and Sonoda Zhuli is not a fighter at all.

As for Lu Tianya, Zhang Jingxu had already let him stay in Osaka in the name of "protecting Sonoda Zhuri", after all, there would definitely be a large number of casualties on both sides in the battle of Gongwu, so Zhang Jingxu didn't dare to take Lu Tianya with him.

So in the end, it was calculated, and at present, the Sawada family is also able to stand up for Liu Xing and get points... To put it bluntly, it's contribution.

Therefore, Sonoda Zhuri is very much in favor of Liu Xing and others to complete this exploration task.

So, Liu Xing and others left the TV station directly and drove to Toyama County.

Not long after Liu Xing and the others left Osaka City, Shimazu Nakano's voice came from the car radio.

The Battle of Gongwu has officially begun!

I don't know if it's the bad taste of the Cthulhu Run game hall, but as soon as Shimazu Nakano began to speak, there was a continuous thunder in the sky.

"Although there has been no armed conflict between the Kansai and Kanto regions, both sides have set up temporary parliaments at the first time, and all major cities have entered a state of martial law, and even Tokyo and Osaka have declared short-term curfews." Yin Eun spoke.

"What about the situation on Muto's side?" Ding Kun, who was driving, asked.

Yin En sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The situation of Muto Masayoshi is not optimistic, after all, now that the samurai faction and the public faction have directly lifted the table, he is very embarrassed as an outsider now, but fortunately, Muto Masayo may have gotten the news in advance, so he is in Toyama City today." ”

"Fate, I didn't expect Ryuzaki to be in Toyama Prefecture, but Toyama City is not our destination, so it seems that there is no way to meet them...

Before Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Yin En's mobile phone rang.

Yin En raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that we still have a chance to meet with Ryuzaki and them, because Miyin sent me a message at this time, saying that Shimazu Nakano and they think that Muto Masayo has some use value for the samurai faction, plus our relationship with Ryuzaki is not bad, so Shimazu Nakano They issued a temporary mission to us, that is, if there is a chance, they will bring Muto Masayoshi and them to Osaka, but the priority of this temporary task is not as high as that exploration task." ”

It seems that Shimazu Nakano is not too concerned about Muto Masayoshi.

Because Osaka is only more than 300 kilometers away from Toyama Prefecture, it didn't take long for Liu Xing and the others to reach Sayama Town.

As Takeda Honglong said before, the town of Sayama, located in the mountains, has almost become a ghost town, because only one convenience store is still open among the dozens of street shops in the center of the town, and there is not a single living thing on the street except for Liu Xing and his party.

"I'm going, this town is so quiet and terrible, I almost thought we were making a post-apocalyptic movie." Yin En couldn't help but complain.

As Yin Eun said, the only sound around him now is the footsteps of his own group.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said with his mouth: "This kind of town is actually very common in the island country, because the population of the island country has basically flowed into the big city, after all, the conditions of the big city are better, so many small towns that are located in the remote area and have no characteristics of themselves continue to lose population, and then there are only some old people who are unwilling to leave, so there should be only some old people left in Zuoshan Town now, and the old people are originally quiet and do not like to move, so it is normal to have no sound now." ”

Ding Kun on the side also nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, now many unknown cities in the island country are slowly becoming empty cities, after all, almost all the labor force goes to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, and these cities that have lost their labor force have lost their future; However, this is also a new problem that countries around the world are facing, many countries have seen the phenomenon of empty cities, especially those cities dominated by mining, because the depletion of minerals has led to a sharp drop in the income of nearby residents, and then after a series of chain reactions, it has caused residents to leave their homes, and I have been to many empty cities when I was in the three eastern provinces, and I really thought I was in the last days when I walked there. ”

At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly stopped and asked seriously: "So, what will we eat later?" ”
