385 The Fog II
Ah Fei opened the system message and saw that a line of words was written on it: "The player triggers the mission of the Relic City, and can only leave the Relic City after completing the task." Objective: Find the NPC that the player is guarding (i.e. Li Ruohai) and escort it out safely. If the player dies, they will be resurrected in the Relic City; When an NPC dies, you will exit the Shattered Void Quest! ”
After watching this task, Ah Fei almost let go of his hand and threw away the two jars of wine!
It took a lot of effort to avoid the Remnant City, but in the end it came back?
His heart was in a mess, and he took out the system and prepared to send a message to Senior Brother and Sanjie. But as expected, the system reminded that "the player is in a special state and cannot use the system communication", Ah Fei scolded "Damn, I know", turned around twice, found a raised stone and sat down, trying his best to calm the intense mood.
"Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing here?"
The philosophical questions were asked three times in a row, and it took a long time for Ah Fei to calm down a little. He slowly sorted out his thoughts, thinking that he should have encountered an enemy raid, and then inadvertently triggered the system mission! It's just that this enemy is a little too powerful, and he actually removed the tavern in a few seconds, and also took down Feng Xinglie and Sanjie in one fell swoop, and took Li Ruohai and the carriage away along the way?
There is no trace of it on the key ground, and you need props for tricks!
I'm afraid that it is Pang Ban, Ling Donglai, Wu Cao, Lang Chuyun, and Xiang Yutian who work together, and it is not easy to do all this in such a short period of time!
He knew there must be something strange in it, but he couldn't say why. At the moment, he was almost alone, unable to contact anyone, and could not see any signs to track, only the moon in the sky still hanging high above his head, as if it was the malicious gaze of the system!
------ Chitu ------
Ah Fei sat in place for a full stick of incense.
Every time he thinks of Li Ruohai, who can't shoot because he is in a certain place, he can't make a move, Feng Xinglie who can only exert half of his strength when he goes into battle with an injury, and Sanjie, whose internal strength is abolished and half of his combat effectiveness is worrying, he is angry! The senior brother told him thousands of times, but he still got into something else!
It took him a while to breathe through a pure state of mind, so that reason returned to his mind, and his intelligent IQ occupied the high ground again.
I looked around, and suddenly I slapped my thigh!
"Okay!"
He reached into his arms, took out the token of the martial arts alliance leader, thought for a while, and only sent the word "stable"!
This is the privilege of the martial arts alliance leader, who can send three messages a day that players have to read. As long as the player is online, this message will be forced to pop up, and even NPCs will know about it!
He just wanted to tell Sanjie, Li Ruohai and the senior brothers in this way that no matter what situation they were in now, they just needed to stabilize. Presumably, the other party must be trying to find a way to contact him, and if he can't get in touch, he will definitely be anxious. In this way, they tell each other that they are fine and alive, and all they have to do is to wait steadily, and not to go wrong because of panic.
Of course, Li Ruohai and they are not good at stubble, although the three of them have some problems, but it is not easy for ordinary people to treat them well. Unless several top masters join forces, Li Ruohai is safe for the time being.
After sending the message, he completely calmed down. Anyway, there is no one around, so many things are easy to do. He stood up and walked a few steps, slowly probing his surroundings, because when he first jumped out of the pit, he didn't care to observe, but when he looked again, he finally found something abnormal!
Although it is also a wilderness, although there are similar forests of wild grasses, the terrain seems to be a little different!
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately took out the system map, looked at it a few times, and suddenly realized it!
This is no longer the place where the liquor shop used to be, but a different place, even dozens of miles away from the previous direction. And in the middle of the two places, there is exactly the Remnant City!
It turned out that it wasn't the tavern and carriage that disappeared, it was he Ah Fei who was teleported to another place!
Could it be that the trap under the liquor store is a system teleportation point?
But didn't the previous system clearly stipulate that during the Shattered Void, it was not allowed to use the system to teleport?
With this doubt, Ah Fei jumped back to the original deep pit and found that it had collapsed, but some messes and traces could still be seen inside. After some careful observation, he simply stretched out his hand to test it, and the system really gave a reminder: "One-way post station, only used within the scope of the Relic City." Reverse is not available! ”
I see!
He was brought here by a one-way teleportation point, and because the environment here was similar to before, and it was a moonlit night, he didn't even react for a while! The one-way waypoint, which can only be used in the Relic City, seems to have brought some difference to this mission.
This is clearly a way to remind players of the uniqueness of Vested City.
So, this accident, was the system intentional? Or did someone want to deliberately set up this trap and drag Ah Fei and them into the water?
Ah Fei sneered, he jumped out of the hole that was useless again, and then stood in place, closed his eyes, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a while.
There is always a sound in the night, and there is always wind on the rivers and lakes!
After a while, he thoughtfully determined a direction, and then released the red rabbit horse, rode it directly, and galloped away!
The sound of horses' hooves trampled the moonlight to shreds, and the thick fog gradually drowned out the distant back.
------ Chitu ------
Even though the sky was still gray, it was still some time before the sun came out. But on the outskirts of the city, in a place where the location is not good or bad, the owner of the noodle soup shop has already gotten up to work.
He carefully took care of the layers of noodles in front of him, which were hung in several layers. This is the result of his hard work last night, hanging on the roof for so long, the moisture has almost dried up. But when the sun is about to come out, he has to move the wooden planks full of noodles to the inside of the room, which needs to be placed in the direction of his back to the sun, so as not to spoil the taste from the direct sun. Then sprinkle with a little water and continue to dry in the shade again.
Only in this way will it not be cooked in front of the production, which is a habit that the boss has developed for more than ten years, and it is also the secret of the unique taste of their noodle soup.
The boss is actually not very old, he is middle-aged, with thin cheeks and a mustache. If it weren't for the dust gray on his face that covered his appearance, he actually looked very stylish! If you put it in the real world and polish your face, maybe you can be a powerful idol!
At this time, the middle-aged boss, who was a little handsome, had already put three shelves of noodles into the room, he clapped his hands, looked at his results, and showed a satisfied smile on his face. I was about to prepare for the next step, when someone outside suddenly shouted, "Boss, have you opened a store?" Two bowls of noodle soup! ”
The boss was slightly stunned, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself that today's guests came so early?
But after all, this is also business, he quickly answered, said hello to his wife in the house, and then walked out quickly.
Walking outside, he saw two people sitting at a table. A stout man, dressed as a quack, placed a spear next to his hand, but this spear looked a little strange, half of it was still in a black cloth bag, and the exposed part was spiked; If ordinary people want to protect their spear weapons, shouldn't they have to put up their spearheads?
Let's look at the other younger, but the player's typical attire. This combination is very common in Relic City, and is basically a combination of players and NPCs.
"It's really early in the morning! Two bowls of noodles yes? He settled down and stepped forward to greet him.
"Yes, two bowls of noodles. Put more soup, your soup is good! The player glanced at him and smiled faintly.
"Actually, the noodles in the small shop are better!" The boss laughed with him. But after saying this, he found that the other party did not answer, so he had to bow his head and smile, and went down.
After a while, two bowls of noodles were served, the soup was plentiful, and a layer of tempting green onions and seasonings floated on top!
The two of them didn't speak, and they took the meeting and started directly. The player ate very heroically and swallowed it in large gulps, but the NPC man slowly picked up a chopstick, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then put it in his mouth. However, he ate slowly, bite by bite, as if he wanted to bite off the noodles, bite them into pieces, and then swallow them.
But after taking a bite, Dahan nodded and said to the boss: "Your noodles are really good!" ”
His voice was deep and tinged with a singular charm. The boss was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "The guest officer has won the award, as long as he can get into your mouth, it will be a good face!" ”
The big man smiled slightly and said, "Can you know the secret of the boss's bite?" ”
The boss was stunned again, as if he was hesitating to tell the other party the secret of making noodles. However, he thought for a while and laughed in a low voice: "Actually, it's not a secret, as long as the noodles are not dried, but dried in the shade, then no matter how long they are boiled after the soup, they won't be rotten!" ”
"Good!"
The big man nodded, then put down his chopsticks, took out a white silk scarf from his bosom and wiped his mouth. He didn't eat it, but smiled at the boss and said, "You are really an experienced noodle soup shop owner...... It's just that I have one thing I want to ask you, I wonder if you would like to do a favor boss? ”
The boss's heart trembled, and somehow, he always felt that this person's smile was a little gloomy. However, his face did not leak a sound, but said with a smile: "Is the guest officer going to inquire about something?" I know it, and I can't say enough! ”
"Endless words? That's great! The big man laughed, "I wonder if there has been a carriage passing by you since last night, or has anyone passed by you on horseback alone?" ”
The boss was stunned for a moment and said, "There are such people all the time!" ”
Dahan shook his head and said, "Well, it's not during the day, it's just at night." After last night's ugly hour, to be exact, until now! ”
This time the range seems to be much smaller, the boss pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "If it is this time, there is no impression." After I was busy last night, I was probably ugly, and then I fell asleep until I got up just now, and the only people I saw were two. ”
The big man didn't have any expression when he heard this, and seemed to be slowly pondering. Seeing this, the boss added: "Of course, there may be people passing by, but if you can't do it in your lower ear, and you sleep deeply, you may miss it." I'm so sorry! ”
The big man glanced at the boss with a smile and said, "Missed it?" He paused for a moment, then added, "Well, just let you miss it!" In that case, I can only ask you another little thing......"
The boss still laughed in a low voice and said, "It's still the same sentence, as long as I know it, I will naturally say everything!" ”
The big man laughed and said, "That's good! I heard that boss, you have a list of officials in the world, I want to know which of them are doing things for Wu Cao, can you reveal it, Boss Lei? ”
As soon as these words came out, the boss's face changed greatly!
