Chapter Forty-Four: The Search for Dress
The picture ended here, and Qin Ling also returned to his original body again. And in front of him, there is still the death knight Fen Fall, who is riding a skeleton horse.
Looking at the painful look on Fen'er's face, Qin Ling couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. Although he didn't know the end of the matter, it was obviously not a happy ending, otherwise Fen Fall would not have become the current Death Knight.
After a while, Fen Erluo seemed to have recovered, his face was full of indifference, and he said, "I used to be the prince of Cloud Thunder City, and I am also the lord of Cloud Thunder City. You've probably seen some of my memories, and I need you to investigate the cause of the incident in the first place to recover my memories! ”
"Ding......
"Do you take the commission of the death knight Fen Fall and go to Cloud Thunder City to investigate the cause of death of the bride during the Fin Fall Lord's period?"
It's a task that can be taken selectively, either accepted or rejected. However, the consequences of refusal, Qin Ling can know without thinking about it, and there is absolutely no good end......
In desperation, Qin Ling also chose to accept it.
But what he didn't expect was that he still needed to go to Cloud Thunder City. Cloud Thunder City is also one of the five second-level main cities in Huaxia District, thousands of miles away from Tianfeng City, and the only way to go where you want to go is the teleportation array. On foot alone, Qin Ling wasn't sure if he would be able to get to Cloud Thunder City.
"That...... Are there any rewards for completing missions? Qin Ling asked cautiously.
Death Knight Finr snorted coldly, ignored him, and wandered directly again, as if he had turned back into a boss.
Qin Ling also felt helpless, there was no time limit for this task, and it was estimated that it would be okay not to complete it now. However, since I accepted this task, it would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't complete it.
Actually, in his heart, Qin Ling still sympathized with Fen Erluo, he was originally a lord of the main city, what kind of reason did he need to become an undead creature? Qin Ling was also more interested in this.
Of course, the main thing is that this guy is a Death Knight, and he himself happens to have a skill quest that requires the heart of the Death Knight to complete, although he doesn't know if the final reward for this quest will be Fen'er's heart, but he has to give it a try. Otherwise, how long will it take to kill a death knight? This guy is a level 80 boss, and there is no doubt that he must be a lord!
Glancing at the task again, Qin Ling also found that there were some more hints on the task description.
"Go to Cloud Thunder City to find the reason for what happened back then, it seems that there is a knight named Deries who knows something."
Although there is a hint, it is also a fairly simple one.
Yunlei City is also one of the second-level main cities in Huaxia District, which is definitely not much different from Tianfeng City, and it is a big fate, and trying to find someone in such a big city is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But now that the task has been accepted, and Qin Ling still has the idea of wanting to complete it, he must still go to Cloud Thunder City.
However, this travel fee still made Qin Ling quite painful. Every time the second-level main city teleportation array is used, it needs 2,000 gold coins, and when converted into real currency, it is 2,000 cash! It's no wonder that it doesn't hurt!
……
Returned to Tianfeng City, briefly explained to Li Yang and set off, this time to Yunlei City, it is estimated that he will not come back in a short time, and this task is not estimated to be completed in a short time.
After paying 2,000 gold coins, Qin Ling also stepped into the main city teleportation array.
In the blink of an eye, the sights were staggered, and he had already arrived in Cloud Thunder City.
As one of the second-level main cities in Huaxia District, Cloud Thunder City is almost the same size as Tianfeng City. Moreover, before coming, Qin Ling also had a little understanding of Cloud Thunder City, unlike Tianfeng City, which was located in the plain area, Cloud Thunder City was located in the mountains and rivers. And Cloud Thunder City itself is built on the mountain, and it looks much more spectacular than Heavenly Wind City.
The players in Cloud Thunder City are much tougher than the players in the other four second-level main cities. Since there is no big guild in Cloud Thunder City itself, there are countless small guilds here, and dozens or even hundreds of battles between players occur every day.
It's not to grab the leveling ground, or to grab the boss, which can be said to be very messy. It can also be said to be the one with the lowest average player level among the five major second-level main cities in the entire Huaxia District......
For these situations, Qin Ling has a general understanding, anyway, it is not very useful, and now the top priority is to find the knight named Dress.
"I don't know how much time has been until the death of Fin's wife! I don't know if the original knight is still serving in Cloud Thunder City. Qin Ling muttered, there was nothing good to do anyway, so he went directly to the lord hall of Cloud Thunder City.
It is said that it is the lord's hall, but in fact, the lord's hall in each second-level main city is equivalent to the royal palace and the place where the lord lives.
The Lord Hall is open to any player, but the players at this stage have almost no intersection with the Lord Hall, so there are no other players here except for Qin Ling.
After arriving at the lord's hall, Qin Ling was also unkind, and directly found a guard and asked, "Do you know the Knight of Dress?" ”
The guard NPC glanced at Qin Ling blankly, and left directly without speaking.
Qin Ling was speechless, can't he answer if he doesn't know him?
In this way, Qin Ling began to run back and forth in the lord's hall, but whenever he saw an NPC he hadn't seen before, he would go up and ask, but very few answered him, and the people who answered him said they didn't know him.
In this way, the morning passed quickly, and Qin Ling had no clue where this Dreis knight was.
After lunch, Qin Ling was also online again, still repeating the morning's questioning process.
Soon, he seemed to have discovered something, perhaps by someone else......
After seeing an older guard, Qin Ling also ran over again and asked, "Do you know the Knight of Dress?" ”
The imaginary answer did not appear, and the old guard's face changed suddenly, and he said, "What are you looking for Dress?" ”
Qin Ling's eyes also lit up, and he finally let himself find it!
However, without waiting for him to continue asking, the old guard gave a direct order, and more than a dozen guards suddenly emerged from somewhere, catching Qin Ling......
"What are you holding me for?! Didn't Lao Tzu just ask a question?! Qin Ling was a little helpless and scolded, but no one paid attention to him at all.
The old guard who first answered his question said directly: "Keep him in a cell!" ”
"Me! Go! The corners of Qin Ling's mouth twitched, but he couldn't break free from the hands of these guards, and he was directly taken away by them.
Not long after, Qin Ling was locked up in a cell in Cloud Thunder City.
At this point, the cell is fairly clean, and there are hardly any other players locked up in it, except for a few necessary NPCs.
"! Why lock me up?! Qin Ling scolded, but no one paid attention to him at all.
I tried to use the return trip, but I found that it didn't work at all. He wants to slid the door and pick the lock, but he doesn't seem to have the ability to do that in the game. Trying to punch through the wall with a weapon, he found it impossible to use a weapon here.
After thinking of all possible ways to get out, Qin Ling still gave up. Because all the methods that could be used, useless......
In this way, after spending about an hour in the cell, he met the first NPC besides the original guard.
This NPC is very fat and has a big beer belly, of course, it doesn't matter if there is beer in the game...... Wearing a palace robe, he should be one of the officials of Cloud Thunder City, named Thorndike.
"Are you asking around for news of Dress?" Thorndike asked without any expression on his face.
Qin Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "If I tell the truth, can you let me out?" ”
"Answer my question well!" Thorndike snorted coldly and said.
Qin Ling is also helpless, these NPCs are all set by the system, to put it simply, they don't eat hard and soft......
"It's me, I'm looking for Dress." Qin Ling said directly.
By now, he also knew that Dresse was definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have been locked up in a cell for a simple inquiry.
"Dresse was killed a few days ago, you inquired about his whereabouts like this, what do you have to do with his death?!" Thorndike asked coldly.
"Huh?! He's dead? Qin Ling's face was also full of surprise, a little incredible.
The second is that the setting of this NPC is too brain-dead, if he killed Dress, then what are you looking for him for? It's been a long time coming!
"What can I have to do with his death? I was just asked to know something from him. Qin Ling said directly, and he didn't lie.
Thorndike looked at Qin Ling and said slowly, "After Dresse died, the amulet that his daughter gave him disappeared. As far as I can estimate, it must have been taken by the murderer, you asked me to check your backpack, and if it wasn't with you, I would let you out. ”
"Check my backpack? Can you do it? Qin Ling snorted disdainfully, each player's backpack could only be viewed by himself, and it was impossible for someone to view other players' backpacks.
This game doesn't have that kind of setting!
But can't the players, and neither can the NPCs?
Then, without waiting for Qin Ling to continue to say anything, Thorndike directly opened the cell door and groped for Qin Ling's body for a while, and only after touching him did he get hairy before Thorndike stopped.
"Not with you, it wasn't you who killed Dress!" Thorndike said with a frown.
"Nonsense, what am I going to do with him if I kill him?" Qin Ling said directly.
Then, Thorndike also sighed and said, "Dresse is buried in the cemetery of Cloud Thunder City, if you want to see him, you can go and see him." ”
With that, Thorndike left. And this also shows that Qin Ling can leave this cell at any time.
"He's all dead, what else do I see him for?" Qin Ling glanced at the task prompt and found that nothing had changed, did he want to talk to a dead man?
Although, death in the game is not all, even if an NPC dies, there is a possibility of resurrection, but in this mission, will such a thing really happen?
Without continuing to think about himself, Qin Ling also left the cell directly, looking for the cemetery of Cloud Thunder City.
The location of the cemetery in Cloud Thunder City was similar to that of Heavenly Wind City, as if the location of the cemetery in all the second-level main cities was the same.
Coming to the graveyard, in addition to the hordes of resurrected players, there are also many tombstones, which should be the graves of NPCs in the game.
After searching for a long time, Qin Ling found that Dreis's grave was in a corner on the very edge, and alone, his own tombstone was here.
"This ...... Do you want me to dig up his grave? Qin Ling said a little uncertainly.
However, no one should find out about doing this here. Because the resurrected player will not be resurrected in this corner, and they will not be able to see it at all.
Thinking of this, Qin Ling also casually took out a long sword from his backpack and inserted it directly into the ground, ready to excavate. But when he started, he realized that it didn't work at all. Because his weapon doesn't have the ability to spoil the scene......
Then, Qin Ling was also so anxious that he scratched his head, if he didn't dig up the grave, would he let me talk to the air like this?
Thinking of this, suddenly a little girl also walked to the front of Dress's grave, still holding some flowers in her hands, with a trace of tears on her face, as if she had just cried.
"Dad, I'm coming to see you." The little girl, named Anne, knelt in front of Dress's grave, her eyes glistening with tears.
After a while, Anne also stood up, looked at Qin Ling, and asked, "Uncle, are you also my father's friend?" ”
"I ...... Sort of. Qin Ling reluctantly smiled and said.
There was such a task in this game, although Qin Ling knew that it was not true, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still quite uncomfortable.
Anne didn't say anything more and left directly.
Looking at Annie who was leaving, Qin Ling also shook his head, he was still too sentimental.
At this moment, in broad daylight, a translucent figure appeared from the grave of Dres, looking like the player's soul after death.
"My Annie! My baby! I'm dead, and now you're left alone, and I can't be with you anymore! "Dress's soul is very sad, but because it is a soul, there are no tears at all, and even if it is a hoarse roar, no one can hear it.
However, Qin Ling was still taken aback, he could see Dress. He didn't know if the other players would be able to see this guy, but he could see it.
"Are you...... Dress? Qin Ling asked cautiously.
"Can you see me?" Dresse was also stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face!
