Chapter 178: Water Avoidance Talisman
Sometimes it's easy to get my parents, sometimes it's difficult, if I rely on myself to say it, they will definitely not agree, but the old sister herself spoke, and the old couple didn't have any questions, and they unanimously said yes.
It's all from a mother's womb, why is this attitude so big?
Clean up the accommodation on the side of the sea, Jiang Lingyuan lives next door to me, the sea usually has a special game room, which has beds, sofas, massage chairs and other things, the hardware facilities are not at all comparable to the flat bed in our dormitory, take out half a day to tidy up, and finally play the game at night.
On the level list, I still occupy the first place, crushing the second-place White Feather Feiyang level with an absolute advantage of level 56, and the Moon Spirit picked up the leak and ended two level 60 dark gold BOSS to help a lot, so I have too many latecomers in terms of registration, so even if the exam has been busy in recent days and delayed the game, they still can't surpass my position.
Walking around town, looking around for NPCs to pick up quests, and going around with the tedious task of collecting materials, I am used to it, and I don't want to waste time fiddling with these trivialities.
When he was talking to the janitor at the gate of the official mansion, Lao Bai sent a message.
"Xingyu, there has been progress in the last mission, if you are not busy, come over, the old place, the second floor of the tavern."
"Task? Which task? β
ββ¦β¦ The Wei family's one. β
Ten minutes later, I hurried to the second floor of the tavern, Lao Bai did not call Shixian and them together, but called Zhao Qian, Sun and Li and the four people, and a group of people were discussing something around there.
I sat down at the table, picked up the prepared glass and drank it all: "How's it going?" What happened after that mission? β
Lao Bai didn't speak, Da Zhao on the side took out a rune and put it in front of me to show me: "Last time, we went to brush the dark mountain with Shixian and them, emptied the bandit boss, and killed the blessing mage of the cottage, and found a treasure chest in his room, and the big guys divided the things equally, Shixian was going to take away the treasure map, and what we took away was this rune, I didn't know what the use of this was, I heard that Lao Bai talked to us about the task of the Wei family, and then I understood the true intention of the thing." β
I hurriedly asked, "What is the purpose?" β
He then placed a piece of paper on the table, and I took it to see it, the scribbled handwriting faintly visible, like a love letter.
"We went to exterminate the bandit is also an NPC's task, after getting back what he wanted, he gave us this love letter, and then told us a story, once there was a big family in the small town by the lake, that family was going to marry their eldest lady to the guardian of the village, but the eldest lady fell in love with a charlatan, the family did not agree to this family business, and did not want their daughter to fall into the green silk, so they used a trick to coax the warlock to go to the lake, saying that he would hunt for treasure, but the warlock was infected by the curse in the lake, The town also suffered a catastrophe because of this, and there was no news from the big family after that, and what happened later is unknown. β
Da Zhao's narration hooked out my memories little by little, I interrupted him, and asked suspiciously, "A lakeside town?" Is that lake called a ghost lake? β
Hearing this, they looked at each other, and it was already clear that I knew a lot of details about this matter.
After that, I told me about the tasks I had completed along the way when I was on a job change.
"Greshnia? Mike Han? Da Zhao kept repeating the names of the NPCs, touching his chin and trying to think: "The place is right, but why is Xingyu so different from the situation we described?" β
Lao Bai put down the wine glass in his hand and came up with an idea: "Don't worry, these two things must be inevitably related, let's just go to Gleshnia and ask him face to face." β
Finding the original portal again, Grechynia was still spinning in the yard, and he heard Lao Bai and them tell about things, but he just shook his head: "I have followed my mother to live in the town since I was a child, and I have only been back to see the lake a few times, and I really don't know what you said." β
They continued to ask, but Gleshnia was a little embarrassed, just shook his head one after another, and did not know anything.
I grabbed them, "Don't say goodbye, she really doesn't know, that is, we came to her father's last words, and she only found out about what happened there." β
Grechynia just nodded timidly: "Yes, the lake is full of black zombies, it's too scary, so I don't dare to go." β
I thought that I could find the clues logically, but the reality was a little unsatisfactory, they just sighed regretfully, turned around and prepared to go out.
But I looked at the woman in front of me a little wooden, and when they saw that I didn't mean to leave, they turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" β
I ignored them, just walked slowly up to Grechnia and stared at her: "If I'm not mistaken,...... I shouldn't have told you that the zombies there are jet black, right? How do you know? β
Lao Bai and they heard the meaning of my words, looked at each other, and then walked back to the courtyard, the woman who was sad just now was full of panic.
I continued to ask, and my tone became more and more unpolite: "Glesnia, please tell me solemnly, what is your father's name?" β
She hesitated, her eyes a little evasive: "McChan, do you have any questions......
"And does your father live by the lake?"
"This ......, ...... by the lake"
"Then does your father's house have a cellar?"
When this question came out, Glesinia smiled: "Opening a cellar by the lake is not afraid of seepage?" Definitely not......"
"If you're not mistaken, you're not Greshnia, right?" Lao Bai walked in front of the crowd with his arms folded on his chest, questioning the woman who had begun to speak vaguely.
She just bit her lip, her hands clutched at the hem of her skirt, and she stood there silent.
Lao Bai looked at the yard left and right, and then went straight to the house, and pulled out some account books of this woman buying and selling spinning products from inside, he held it in his hand and looked at it, and then asked Da Zhao for the love letter, and after the comparison, he smiled confidently.
"Let me guess, McCahan is a native of the lake, and he always has a time to leave the lakeside town because he has to go back and forth to town for business."
"And the rest of McChan's family lives by the lake, and he has a daughter who lives in town."
"The eldest lady of the Wei family fell in love with a charlatan, and the family disagreed, so they planned to kill the warlock, so that her daughter would dispel her thoughts."
"But they didn't expect that the warlock entered the lake but attracted an unexpected curse, and all the people in the town became terrifying zombies, and the Wei family moved to avoid the curse, left the lake, found a mountain to stay, and found a mage to do it, and put the mountain under protection."
"But the Wei family still hasn't escaped the fate of being cursed, but the reason is not because the shelter is useless, but because someone quietly opened the cave to escape, causing the shelter to be destroyed."
Lao Bai said this, turned his head and asked me: "Xiaoyu, you said before, what is the boss you killed?" β
I looked at him and said word by word, "The boss's name is Gref, and he is the guardian of the village. β
Lao Bai laughed: "That's right, let's make another assumption." β
"The warlock saw the strangeness of the lake, and knew that it was not trivial, so he induced the guardian of the village to go into the water and became his substitute."
"In this case, it is the same as the clues left by the villagers before they died, in the eyes of the people, the guardian went to the lake to find out what was going on, but in fact, he was used by others and took all the blame."
"And the relocation of the Wei family will naturally take away their daughter, so the warlock opened the seal of the cave and took away the daughter of the Wei family."
"Warlocks have a way to avoid curses, so the daughter of the Wei family can live unharmed, but her identity is too sensitive, so she found the daughter of McHan, who was doing business in the town, and replaced her in some unknown way."
"McHan, who avoided the outbreak of the curse of the town, could have been fine, but because of his daughter's replacement, he couldn't continue to stay, so he was cursed by the warlock and became a ghost by the lake."
After that, Lao Bai slowly walked in front of her, very polite: "Things are all speculation, some offense, what's wrong, please correct it, okay?" Miss Wei! β
Da Zhao was impatient, put the rune into his backpack, and said viciously: "It's a pity, your little warlock lover has been killed by us, and in his treasure chest, we found the map of the Wei family's ruins, as well as this love letter. β
Lao Bai held the love letter and the account book in his hand together: "This love letter, the handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting of this account book." β
Miss Wei couldn't hold her nerves at all, and looked at us with her mouth wide open in disbelief: "It's impossible to ......, you are all lying to me, how can you kill him!" He's so powerful! β
Then Da Zhao stepped forward and held the rune in his palm and shook it, Grecinia looked at the rune in his hand, his eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous: "This thing? How can you ...... with you? β
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at us: "The task of the Wei family's unjust soul prompted me to complete it just now, that's right." β
Miss Wei collapsed directly to the ground, kneeling there trembling.
"That's right...... it's all because of me, the people of the town, the Wei family, and his ...... death, all because of my ......"
Da Zhao squatted down and lifted her chin with his hand: "Don't mind, these things are not good for us, and we are not settling accounts with you after the autumn, although the truth of the matter does surprise us, but what we are interested in is another thing, we make a deal with you, you will still be Glechnia in the future, no one else will know about this, but you have to tell us, what method did the warlock use to let the guardian enter the lake smoothly?" β
Miss Wei looked up at us, her eyes were red, and there was some hatred and anger, but instead of struggling to resist, she took the rune, recited a complicated spell, and then gave the rune back to us.
"He taught me this spell, you go, I have nothing else to give you."
Da Zhao was happy, took things to check, and took us out of the yard directly, without any lingering.
Then, an item message was sent to our chat.
