Chapter Forty-Eight: Leaving Cloud Thunder City
At this time, the system prompt is also belated.
"Ding......
"After giving Anne the amulet of Dress, help her choose a family that is willing to take her in."
Hearing this system prompt, Qin Ling remembered that this mission was called Annie's Future, not to find Dress's talisman. Finding the amulet is only part of the mission.
"Annie, your future ......"
……
It was late at night, and Qin Ling did not disturb Anne's rest at this time, but chose to go offline.
The time in the game is synchronized with the time in the present world, so Qin Ling is also planning to wait until tomorrow during the day to go to Annie and discuss the following future matters with her.
This is the first time that Qin Ling has gone offline so late, and before that, the time when Qin Ling went offline was very regular, and it would definitely not affect his rest time.
But today......
At night, Qin Ling couldn't sleep, thinking of all the things in the past, and thinking of the time he spent with his sister. Even though it was an extremely difficult time, looking back on it now, it was so beautiful.
Unfortunately, you can't turn back the clock. Now it is, and things are not people......
Early in the morning, Qin Ling went online very early, and he didn't even eat breakfast.
Standing in front of Annie's house, Qin Ling was also full of thoughts. After a while, Qin Ling also sighed and knocked on the door.
After a while, Anne opened the door and saw Qin Ling standing outside the door, she also showed a very surprised smile and said, "Uncle, you are here!" ”
"Of course, I promised Anne that she would come back." Qin Ling touched Annie's head, his eyes full of doting.
"By the way, this is your father's talisman that I found, he said he wanted to return it to you, and now I will return it to you." Qin Ling took out the talisman he found yesterday from his backpack.
Looking at the talisman in Qin Ling's hand, the tears in Anne's eyes couldn't help but flow, but maybe she didn't want to cry in front of Qin Ling, she was also holding back her tears. But Dresse was her only relative, and it had only been a few days, and Anne's grief could not have gone away so quickly.
Qin Ling didn't know what language to use to comfort her, so he just sat beside her and patted her on the back gently.
After a while, Anne gradually stopped crying and whispered, "Uncle, I'll give you this amulet." Since you're a friend of your father's friends, your father must want you to be safe. I also want my uncle to be safe. ”
Qin Ling smiled and didn't say anything.
After looking at the amulet again, the instructions on it had changed.
Anne's amulet: An amulet full of love poured into Anne will be given to the person she cares about the most, and may be able to protect people's safety.
This amulet is just a small object, it has no special use, and it has no effect. Maybe it's really just a very ordinary little thing.
But even so, Qin Ling still carefully put it away, for fear of breaking it.
"By the way, did Anne want to find a good family to live in? I'm an adventurer, and I can't stay here too often to take care of you. Do you want to ......?"
"I don't want to! If my uncle is gone, I'll wait at home for him to come back! Anne said categorically.
Qin Ling also sighed in his heart, this girl is indeed still a child, and he has only met her a few times, and he has only invited her to dinner once. I didn't expect her to be so dependent on herself.
Of course, this coincides with Qin Ling's own thoughts, but Qin Ling doesn't have any place to live in the game.
There is no real estate purchase in the game now, so all players do not have their own home in the game. But this is not a difficult thing for Qin Ling, there are still a lot of places to live in the game.
"Then does Anne want to leave Cloud Thunder City with me? My home is not here, it's in Windy City. Qin Ling asked softly.
At this time, Anne also fell silent, looking at the hut behind her, her eyes full of reluctance.
This is where she has lived since she had a memory, and where she lives with her father. It's full of all kinds of memories, all bits and pieces of being with Dress. Anne was still very reluctant to leave like this.
"Annie, even if we leave, we will come back often. I'll take you back whenever you want to come back. If you live in Cloud Thunder City, I can't take care of you often. If you live in Skywind City, I can visit you often. Qin Ling said.
"Okay then...... Uncle can you wait for me, I need to pack my things. Anne said softly, although she was reluctant in her eyes, she also knew that she might not be able to live here alone.
"Of course, no problem, it just so happens that your father asked me to look for something in your house before he died. Go pack up your things first, and I'll go find what your father said. Qin Ling said with a smile.
Then, both of them entered the house. Anne went to her own small room to pack her things, and Qin Ling also returned to Dress's room again.
According to what Dresse said yesterday, the book at the bottom of his desk is the mechanism that opens the secret door in the basement of his house.
Originally, there were not many books on Dress's desk, and the bottom one looked just blank, and there was no handwriting on the cover.
Gently open the book, and you will directly turn to a specific page. It was also blank and devoid of any content, but when the book was opened, in one corner of the room, an unusual door was suddenly opened.
This door was originally part of the floor, and if you don't look closely, you won't notice that there is a secret door in this corner.
This secret door is not big, and it can barely allow an adult to pass through, and there is a ladder underneath, and Qin Ling also walked down directly.
The basement was very dark, there was no sunlight in sight, and it was even a little damp, and it seemed like no one had been here for a long time.
In the very center of the basement, there is a small iron chest, which has no lock on it, and can be opened directly.
When the box was opened, there was a thick diary inside. It was much thicker than the diary of Dress, which Qin Ling had found before.
I got the diary and flipped through it briefly, and found that it did record some things about Lord Fen Erluo ten years ago.
At this time, Anne's voice also sounded from above.
"Uncle, I'm ready, where are you?"
Qin Ling closed the diary, and after putting it in his backpack, he also returned the way he came.
When he saw Anne carrying a big package, Qin Ling also showed a smile and said, "Do you need to bring so many things?" ”
"I don't know when I'll be back, I'm going to take everything I can." Anne said seriously.
Qin Ling also smiled and said, "Okay, then take them all." ”
As he spoke, the two of them held hands and left the place where Anne had lived since she was a child, and came to the vicinity of the teleportation array in Cloud Thunder City.
At this time, the teleportation array was also crowded with people, and almost all of them were players. It stands to reason that there should be no players here in the teleportation array, after all, this teleportation array can only teleport to two places, the first is the novice village, and the other is the other second-level main city.
At this stage, it is naturally useless for players to go to the novice village, and there is no need to go to other second-level main cities, after all, the price is there.
Seeing that Annie was a little scared, Qin Ling didn't care about these people, and directly pulled her towards the teleportation array, and after paying the teleportation fee for the two people, they also left Cloud Thunder City directly and returned to Tianfeng City.
Just after Qin Ling and the others teleported away, the people near the teleportation array also suddenly exclaimed.
It's not for nothing that they're gathered here, but they're waiting for an NPC to release a quest.
The content of the mission is also very simple, which is to help the Lord of Cloud Thunder City get a wanted person. And this person is none other than Qin Ling, who has just left.
This task is a shared task, but if there is one person who can hand over Qin Ling to the royal family of Cloud Thunder City, then all players in Cloud Thunder City will get a certain reward, and the person who personally sends Qin Ling back will have the most generous reward.
But although this task seems simple, it is difficult.
"Drunken Dance Withering is not from Cloud Thunder City! Why is such a task being issued? ”
"That's right! Isn't that guy from Skywind City? Could it be that it would cost two thousand gold coins to go to Skywind City to complete this task? It's not necessarily possible to bring people back alive, isn't this a pit man?! ”
With the announcement of the content of the mission, almost all players gave up.
Not to mention the reward, they don't know at all, that is, the cost of transmitting two thousand gold coins at a time is not something that most people can afford.
Even if someone is not short of this money, but that day Wind City is someone's territory, so to cross the city to arrest people, it is impossible to say that it will be boycotted by all the players of Sky Wind City, and if it is hung up once, it will be even more worth the loss.
……
Qin Ling, who returned to Tianfeng City, naturally didn't know that the Lord of Cloud Thunder City had issued a mission to want him, if it wasn't for the time when he came back, I was afraid that he would really be wanted by the players of the entire Cloud Thunder City.
At this time, Anne, who was standing beside Qin Ling, was also looking at this city that she had never been to before, and her eyes were also full of curiosity.
"Uncle, is this your home?" Anne asked curiously.
"Home...... Sort of. Qin Ling smiled, feeling a little emotion in his heart.
Then, Qin Ling also took Anne straight to the Tianfeng City Hotel. I don't have my own home, but there are still hotels to stay in. Although he had to spend every day, Qin Ling didn't feel that it was too much, and he could still afford this level of expenses.
After arriving at the inn, he opened the best room for Anne, which cost one gold coin a day, which was nothing. Even if it cost Qin Ling eight thousand gold coins to teleport back and forth, he still has more than two thousand left, which is enough for Anne to live for a long time.
