Lin Chen first took Elaine to find Captain Carlo, and Captain Carlo shook Lin Chen so much that he almost fell apart in surprise, and asked Lin Chen where he found Elaine.

After a long while, Captain Carlo realized his rudeness and hurriedly took his powerful palm away from Lin Chen.

"I'm sorry, but I'm ...... It's so exciting. ”

Captain Carlo's expression was a little embarrassed, and it quickly turned into anticipation, staring at Lin Chen's eyes, wanting to hear a complete good news.

"I'm sorry."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll bring back Miss Elaine alone." ”

"What about the others?" Captain Carlo couldn't help but take a step forward, putting a lot of pressure on Lin Chen.

After thinking for a while, Lin Chen told Captain Carlo everything he had seen in the cave, including the condition of the other children.

After listening to this, Captain Carlo saw that he took a deep breath and first expressed his gratitude to Lin Chen.

"My friend, thank you very much for this information, I, Carlo, will always remember this kindness of yours."

At this moment, Lin Chen's ears sounded with the sound of a system prompt.

"Ding!"

"System Prompt: [Redwood Town Guard Captain Carlo] has greatly increased your favorability."

"Ding!"

"System Prompt: You gain 20 Redwood Town Fame."

Lin Chen felt joy in his heart, this was an unexpected surprise, he didn't expect that he would not be able to get a prestige reward if he didn't directly complete the task.

Reputation is a good thing, and as the player's local reputation increases, they can get a lot of convenience when interacting with local NPCs, whether it's taking quests or asking for help, and even get additional quest rewards.

If the player's local prestige is maximized, they may even be able to borrow the power of the guards in some cases.

However, since the beginning of the "Miracle" era, it has only been a legendary player for ten years. That player ID is Water Moon, ranked fourth on the Miracle List, a professional swordsman, once known as the "First Sword of Miracles", also known as the "First Miracle Cheap".

Shui Zhongyue is very cunning, the kind that is so cheap that he has no friends, he likes to cause trouble when he has nothing to do, according to his words, everything is to be happy, and he is happy when he sees others unhappy. So he was hostile to many forces, but he was strong and lucky, everyone was helpless against him, and he slowly got used to how he liked to toss and toss.

However, the moon in the water is very righteous and keeps its promise, and joins a small guild that was originally unknown - the dark side of the moon for a promise, and is honest. It wasn't until that small guild grew that he accepted the invitation of the president of Hades to join Hades and participate in the largest national war in the history of "Miracles", and became famous for it.

Later, the moon in the water returned to the dark side of the moon, formed a team to play the game, and won the runner-up in the national finals that year, but unfortunately lost to the invisible team of the avenue by one point, and then announced that he would leave the game and take over the family business.

Lin Chen had never had contact with the moon in the water, and the reason why he could remember his name was because among the many footsteps that Yang Liu Qingqing taught him, there was one footwork created by the moon in the water, which made Lin Chen curious to search for the deeds of the moon in the water, and at that time he was so impressed that he almost threw himself to the ground.

Lin Chen came back to his senses, just in time to hear Captain Carlo say to him: "Now, we are going to go to the location you said and rescue the other children, I hope everything is still in time." We don't have much of a manpower, and I just want you to help escort Miss Elaine to the mayor. ”

"Please leave it to me." Lin Chen smiled confidently.

"Okay, I'll leave Miss Elaine's safety to you." Captain Carlo let out a hearty laugh.

"Ding!"

"System prompt: You have received the quest [Escort Elaine], task difficulty: C."

Sure enough, after receiving a task, Lin Chen noticed that there was only a C-level difficulty, and there should not be too much danger. According to the instructions of the mission, the mission can be completed by simply sending the little girl to the mayor.

The next moment, he saw Captain Carlo with an angry expression, and shouted to Joro on the side: "Hurry up and shout brothers, we must go immediately!" ”

"Yes, my head!"

Soon, Captain Carlo and his men quickly left here, leaving only Lin Chen and Elaine.

After Captain Carlo and the others left, the little girl leaned on Lin Chen's side in fear, as if only Lin Chen could bring her a sense of security.

"I'll take you home."

Lin Chen smiled, gently touched the little girl's head, and receiving such an easy task, which was almost equivalent to a reward for nothing, made him feel happy.

He opened the map, and the mayor's residence was easy to find, but he had only walked less than half the distance with the little girl, and suddenly stopped.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and set off again, but he didn't go directly to the mayor's residence. Instead, they took the little girl and turned a corner in the street, and at last they stopped in front of Lady Polly's house.

Eventually, he decided to tell the poor lady sad news.

Regardless of the possible consequences, the task reward still has to be obtained, after all, he is a senior player, and the basic player literacy still needs to be there.

"Shh

Lin Chen first told Elaine not to speak for a while, and the little girl grabbed Lin Chen's arm and nodded very obediently.

After that, Lin Chen knocked on the door of Ms. Polly's house.

Ms. Polly quickly opened the door and saw Lin Chen first, and then noticed Elaine beside Lin Chen.

She shifted her attention to Lin Chen again, her eyes expectant, and a little panicked.

"Isn't it ......," she said hoarsely, "there's news from Tom?" ”

"I ......"

Lin Chen suddenly found that his lips were as heavy as lead, and it was so difficult to even open his mouth slightly.

Obviously, as long as he tells everything he sees, this task is considered completed, and the task reward is easy to get, but he just can't tell the truth.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that he was first a human being, and then a player.

Go to TMD Player Literacy.

Lin Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I met Tom." ”

"What about the others?" Ms. Polly smiled.

"He can't come back now, he ...... Well, let a powerful swordsman save him and become a student of that swordsman, after which he followed that swordsman, um...... went to a distant place to train, and he couldn't come back in a short time. So he begged me to send you a message to make sure you take good care of yourself. Lin Chen made up a white lie.

"Is that so?" Lady Polly looked at Elaine beside Lin Chen in disbelief.

"Huh?"

Elaine was stunned, she was also smart, she reacted quickly, and then nodded cooperatively.

"It's wonderful." Ms. Polly was excited and said, "Thank you so much......

Afterward, Ms. Polly said a bunch of thanks, as well as words of blessing.

Followed by the system prompt sound brought by completing the task -

"Ding!"

"System Prompt: You have successfully completed the quest [Missing Child] and received the quest reward: XP +2500, Eternal Silver +1500, Redwood Town Fame +10."

Lin Chen was surprised, but he didn't expect that he still completed the task, and because of the experience points rewarded by the task, he finally rose to level 13.

Lin Chen didn't dare to stay here for a long time, he felt a little guilty about facing Lady Polly, after all, he had failed the poor lady's expectations, and soon left with Elaine.

"You're a liar?" The little girl asked suddenly.

Lin Chen shook his head and explained, "Maybe, but I gave her some hope. ”

"I don't understand." The little girl wondered.

"You'll understand when you're older." Lin Chen smiled.

That's all he can do, at most, when he meets the mayor, he asks the mayor to help hide the truth further. In the future, even if Lady Polly gets the truth, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with him.

Lin Chen took Elaine back to the road leading to the mayor's residence.

Wrong!

Lin Chen suddenly noticed that there was an abnormality, originally this street was quite lively, but now, except for him and the little girl beside him, not to mention NPCs, there is not even a player.

Here, surprisingly quiet!

"Ho ho haha......"

Suddenly, a strange laugh rippled around.
