Chapter 72: An Unsuccessful Visit
After deciding to go to the rumored Greenland physician to ask about the plague, Rococo immediately went into action. After finding Chu Jiajia, who was sitting in a small teahouse on the street in a daze, Rococo took the swordsman girl and walked in the direction of the Greenland clinic that he had asked and written down in the tavern before.
As one of the famous doctors in Lancarus, the Greenland doctor's clinic is surprisingly not located in the more prosperous city center of Lancarlos and the aristocratic and wealthy areas, but in some remote civilian settlements on the periphery. Therefore, it took an unexpectedly long time to get from the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion to the Greenland clinic, but thanks to this, Arya, as Rococo's helper, was finally able to.
Although she didn't have much time to investigate in detail, Alia, who had been accustomed to helping Rococo find all kinds of information in the NPC system during this time, quickly helped Rococo on the road to sort out a detailed information about the Greenland doctor from the forum materials in her previous life.
「…… Her full name is Fuya Greenland, her biological father is unknown, and Greenland is the surname of her mother, who raised her alone. From an early age, he showed great talent in medicine, and at the age of 20 he obtained his professional medical license and was allowed to open his own practice, and for eight years he was known for his ability to treat intractable diseases and his kind and benevolent character. She has a commendable beauty, but she is surprisingly unmarried......
In the system information column, Arya first extracted a small amount of basic personal information, and soon found the content that attracted Rococo's attention.
"After some of the more sophisticated players who like to sort it out, this Greenland doctor is indeed one of the characters who realized that the undead plague is different from the ordinary plague before the undead invasion broke out in his previous life, and has tried to conduct an in-depth investigation of the undead plague. Unfortunately, she was one step too late, as her team was investigating the plague in a town in Lancarros County, when the undead invasion broke out, and a sudden plague undead army surrounded the town, and finally the Greenland physician and her team were all killed in order to cover the escape of the surviving local residents."
I see, it seems that she really inadvertently found out important news in the tavern, so it is difficult for NPC characters who fell early in the game to leave any strong marks on the game forums in their previous lives, but for now, before the undead invaded the plot, this Greenland doctor was definitely a key figure with the ability to influence the direction of the plot.
Just as Rococo was thinking this, suddenly Arya summoned her again with some interest.
"Xiao Ke, I also found an interesting thing, there are several posts on the game forum in my previous life that the Greenland doctor is likely to be the mysterious NPC cheater who is not identified."
Rococo was startled, and even stopped with his steps forward.
Walking aside, Chu Jiajia, who didn't know about Alia's existence, looked at Rococo with some doubts.
"Coco, what's wrong? Are we going in the wrong direction? ”
“…… No, no, I just thought of one thing out of the blue, but it doesn't matter, let's move on. ”
"Arya, tell me carefully!"
"Ahaha, don't get excited, it's not as reasonable as you think," Seeing that Rococo was a little excited, Arya was a little embarrassed to persuade her. "In fact, these players didn't find any evidence at all, but the NPC fraud incident in the previous life happened to be during the invasion of the undead, and all those players who had received the deception quest successively found that the tasks they received were halfway through or completed but could not receive the rewards suddenly showed invalidity, so some people speculated that something happened to the NPC that issued the quest. They named the NPC celebrities who died in the game during that time due to the turmoil of the undead invasion, and among them was the Greenland doctor...... But in fact, the NPC who died unexpectedly because of Bekaz at that time was not the only one in the Greenland doctor."
So it's just far-fetched speculation. Rococo couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she was not interested in the cheater NPC who released fake quests to deceive players, but the series of events that happened today completely changed her impression of the cheater, and she found that the other party was likely to be like her, in fact, he had been trying to expose Beccaz's conspiracy.
If the main body of the liar is this Greenland doctor, then it is not surprising that she can discover the immortal conspiracy hidden behind those plagues, but the problem is that Rococo knows that this very famous doctor in Lancarus has a close cooperation with the Lancarus military department, and if she finds something wrong, she can go directly to the military department to explain it, and there is no need to use such a roundabout method...... Thinking about it this way, Rococo felt that the speculation that those Greenland doctors were liar NPCs was not reliable.
The two soon arrived at the door of the Greenland clinic, but it was not a coincidence that when they arrived, there was a busy scene inside and outside the clinic.
However, unlike the trading houses and career plazas in the city, the people gathered here are almost all NPCs and there are not many players. Because Greenland doctors have a good reputation and will not refuse to give them to ordinary people who come from places where the plague appears because they are afraid, many large chambers of commerce and mercenary groups that value their reputation are now willing to take the initiative to contact Greenland clinics to diagnose the plague for the team members after returning from business in other places. However, the player is not worried about this, anyway, the plague is just a negative state for the players, and it is not difficult for the player to remove the negative status.
According to this clue, Rococo and Chu Jiajia also found the young beautiful doctor who was patiently diagnosing the epidemic to the mercenaries and businessmen who were queuing up in the small square at the main entrance of the clinic.
Although there are NPCs over there, theoretically speaking, as long as they get together, these players can have a smooth conversation, but seeing that even those five big and three thick mercenaries consciously lined up one by one out of respect for this beautiful doctor, Rococo and Chu Jiajia stood next to them, and they inexplicably felt that they were planning to cut the queue unruly.
Just when the two of them were a little hesitant, they suddenly heard a somewhat old voice from behind them.
"Is the guest here to see a doctor from Greenland?"
Both Rococo and Chu Jiajia were taken aback, and the two hurriedly turned around, only to see an elderly NPC woman wearing the same uniform as the other helpers in the clinic looking at them kindly.
"Uh, well, yes, we'd like to ask the Greenland physician about the plague."
The old woman nodded, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a sudden uproar outside the clinic. Since the clinic was on a small hillside in the city, Rococo and the others looked a little down the hill and found a well-equipped troop of troops leading a golden armor general towards the city gate.
"Oh, the city lord of Farouo is really decisive."
"Huh?"
Seeing Chu Jiajia's puzzled eyes, Rococo simply told her what she had revealed to the city lord of Farouo.
"I see, but after you told the city lord of Farouo about those things, he also felt suspicious, so you sent the NPC army of Lancarlos to that valley so quickly to investigate?" Chu Jiajia said, showing some admiration, "Coco is so smart, she can think of so many things." ”
Rococo smiled a little embarrassedly, Chu Jiajia's praise made her feel a little ashamed, but out of some kind of selfishness, looking at Chu Jiajia's sparkling admiration in her eyes, Rococo didn't intend to clarify anything.
"Uh, by the way, what about the old woman just now?"
"That old woman seems to have said something just now, but I didn't hear it clearly when it was too noisy outside," Chu Jiajia shook her head, "But she should have gone to help us find the Greenland doctor, right?" ”
However, when the two of them withdrew their eyes from the army outside, they found that the Greenland doctor, who was still not far away in front of the opposite column to check on the patients, did not know where to run and disappeared, and the old woman just now walked towards them with an unhurried look.
"Dear adventurer, I'm really sorry, the Greenland doctor happened to have received a few urgent cases just now, and because the caravan that came to us today is in a hurry to return to the merchant house to unload the goods, if you can, can you wait until tomorrow when the clinic is free?"
The old woman said with a very sorry expression.
Rococo was a little helpless, she really didn't know much about this Greenland doctor's information, could it be that if she wanted to meet this NPC, she still needed to have any pre-plot or conditions to be triggered?
Holding on to luck, Rococo left the clinic with Chu Jiajia, and entered the clinic again after a few minutes, but the Greenland doctor was still not in the square, and the NPC old woman was still dutifully staying in place, and after seeing the two, she showed a kind and unfamiliar smile, as if she was not the one who entertained them just now.
"Is the guest here to see a doctor from Greenland?"
"Hmm."
"Dear adventurer, I'm really sorry, the Greenland doctor happened to have received a few urgent cases just now, and because the caravan that came to us today is in a hurry to return to the merchant house to unload the goods, if you can, can you wait until tomorrow when the clinic is free?"
Looks like it's going to be a dead end today.
But after all, she had already revealed the matter of that valley to Farouo in advance, although the plague had begun to spread in various places, it had not yet reached the most serious point after all, as long as the group of soldiers who had just left the city found the undead army in the valley, then this time Bekaz's undead invasion would definitely not be as out of control as the last time.
There was a faint sense of uneasiness in the City Lord's Mansion before...... Maybe she's thinking too much, right?
Thinking like this, Rococo tried to make himself relaxed, and took Chu Jiajia's hand and walked in the direction of leaving the city.
"Jiajia, you can't go online tomorrow, so we have to add some fuel to take you to level 15 today."
"Hmm~"
