Chapter 102: Mysterious Disappearance?
The sweat on his face was dripping, and even his back was wet with cold sweat, Isaac subconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, but he didn't know what to say at this time to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere at this time.
Time seemed to freeze, and the two groups in the room all looked at each other silently (in fact, Sui Yu was quickly arranging a battle plan in the message channel, preparing to take a favorable position to launch a surprise attack on the old magician and his party as soon as the situation was not good).
"It's you!" The female leader of the special master seemed to quickly perceive Sui Yu's identity with a woman's sixth sense, and then raised her hand to reveal the experience of being robbed by Sui Yu and them.
So with this shout, the battle queens immediately quickly stood up according to Sui Yu's previous arrangement, the pure magic war queen leaned back and turned her hand to take out a variety of staffs, and the two thieves were Fan Ni and Kanami on both sides of Sui Yu.
Hakoya's right hand rested on the long handle of the Sky Scythe behind her, and her left hand reached into the pocket around her waist, where was the dart-shaped jade dragon jade specially made for Hakoya.
The old mage Isaac suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, but he reacted very quickly at the moment of crisis, and while raising his hand to stop the words of the female master, he stepped forward and nodded and said to Sui Yu: "What a coincidence! It's you! What a faux pas! I knew it was you, I should have taken the initiative to visit! ”
Although the atmosphere felt a little strange, but she didn't think much about it, the receptionist lady smiled and asked the old magician, "Your Excellency Isaac, I didn't expect you to know each other?" ”
"Recognize! Know! Isaac muttered to himself, "I don't want to know them," and explained to the receptionist, "I met a gang of robbers before, and it was this team that took action when they passed by, and I was able to save my life!" And they didn't leave their names after they did good deeds, so I couldn't find anyone even if I wanted to repay them for saving my life! ”
Hearing this, Sui Yu also smiled slightly and said to the old mage: "You're welcome, we never leave a name for doing good deeds!" ”
The atmosphere in the room finally became a little soothing. And the female man also obediently closed her mouth under the control of her companion who reacted, although she still stared at Sui Yu and the others with unkind eyes, but in the end, she was not too emotional under the pull of her companion.
After it seemed that there was no need to fight, Sui Yu asked the old mage a little strangely, "What did you call us for?" I heard you still have a task to delegate? ”
With the completion of the Emerald Dragon Jade's quest, the third link of the quest chain in the quest system was also completed, although this quest was only rewarded with ten Chaos Gold Coins and a small amount of experience. However, in order to be able to establish a union in the real world as soon as possible, Sui Yu was still very eager to take over the task.
If you can take over a task from the old mage Isaac, then it will save Sui Yu the trouble of going out to hit the big luck.
Anyway, judging from Isaac's flattering expression, the other party would never dare to issue him any cheating tasks!
"Task? Nope! I just want to thank all of you! Isaac took out the pack of jade dragon jade that Sui Yu had just submitted the task from the magic space he had created and showed it to Sui Yu while adding: "You see, so many jade dragon jade even in my hometown require a lot of money to buy, and the reward for one gold coin is really too little!" That's why I'm looking for you to make up the difference! Yes, I came to you to make up the difference! ”
The old mage wiped his sweat as he spoke, it was obvious that this guy was making things up!
However, Sui Yu also reacted, and when he faced the war concubines who easily crushed their group before. Where does the old mage dare to entrust a task?
I'm afraid that the old mage can't wait to send Sui Yu and them away now, otherwise every time he faces Sui Yu and them for a second, he doesn't know how much cold sweat he will shed - it seems that this old man is about to become dehydrated!
After realizing that he was afraid that he would not be able to receive any tasks from the old mage, Sui Yu planned to leave. Of course, in order to fulfill the lie told by the old mage about increasing the bounty, Sui Yu waved his hand and said to Isaac: "In that case, then take out the reward you said you wanted to increase!" ”
Although the currency of this world is of little use to Sui Yu at the moment, it is always good to have more money. At least in the future, when you find the right way to buy some goods controlled by the Talaya Kingdom. You can use this money to purchase some special materials that Ress needs to speed up the development of Avalon's new artifact.
"Oh, okay, okay!" Hear Sui Yu's words. The old mage immediately opened the door to the space where he was carrying his belongings with a wave of his hand, and a large mess of props fell to the floor of the reception room and piled up into a small mountain.
"Well, just take the gold coins, you don't have to pour everything out, right?" The corners of Sui Yu's eyes jumped, and he couldn't help but express his doubts.
"Ahh That's it! The old mage explained with an embarrassed face: "Get used to it, get used to it!" ”
Well, what kind of habit is it to dump all your possessions in front of a lot of people?!
It seems that Sui Yu's robbery at that time caused tons of damage to the old mage's mind and an overwhelming psychological shadow. So much so that when he took things in front of Sui Yu, he was subconsciously used to throwing the things he used to the ground......
After rummaging a little, he finally found a bulging bag of money, the old mage opened it a little and confirmed that it was a bag of gold coins, and immediately handed it to Sui Yu with both hands with a respectful face, and said in an extremely flattering tone: "Be careful, not respectful!" Not a tribute! ”
"That's not a lot of people, is it?" The corners of Sui Yu's mouth twitched a little, and after feeling that there were at least hundreds of gold coins in this bag, he said to the old mage a little embarrassed: "Actually, even if you don't add money, it's okay!" ”
"No, no, no, this money is not only to compensate for the value of the excess Jade Dragon Jade, but also to thank you for not killing ...... before O life-saver! ”
So under the gaze of the receptionist lady with a strange expression. After Sui Yu and the old mage passed the buck to each other, Sui Yu finally put away the money bag that the old mage had to give him, and at the same time, when Hakeya curiously picked up a magic book that recorded space magic from the pile of things and looked through it, the old mage waved the magic book to Hakya with an angry face (flesh pain).
Seeing that the old mage Isaac looked eager to leave quickly, Sui Yu simply turned his head and left the reception room with the war queens, of course, in order to prevent the old mage from playing tricks when leaving. The battle queens were on alert the whole time, ready to strike brazenly when the old mage and his group made a move.
Fortunately, Isaac really didn't seem to want to provoke Sui Yu, and the somewhat impulsive female man didn't make any impulsive moves when she was restrained by a companion who had a very big picture (afraid of death). Therefore, the two groups finally separated without incident.
Of course, after all the war queens left, with keen hearing. Sui Yu still heard a pop in the reception room, as if someone was slumped on the ground, and the receptionist's voice said, "Mr. Isaac, are you okay?" Exclamations.
When Sui Yu heard the old mage answer in a voice that seemed to be ten years old, "It's okay, it's just that there are some cramps in the thighs of the age!" Sui Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this old mage named Isaac really didn't plan to trouble them anymore - such a cowardly guy didn't seem to be a local yet, so he didn't have to worry about what tricks the other party would play!
Coming downstairs, it's always a hassle to think that the chain quest is vacant (what if you accidentally trigger an unfinished cheat quest?). So Sui Yu planned to quickly take a task from the receptionist lady to make up the numbers.
At this time, Sui Yu, who was very familiar with the receptionist lady, was talking to her in front of a few people dressed as villagers, and Sui Yu, who didn't want to go to other counters to handle mercenary tasks, simply took the war concubines behind the villagers and waited for the receptionist lady to complete the work at hand.
The receptionist lady saw that Sui Yu was so literate and obeyed the rules of the Mercenary Guild and did not cut in line indiscriminately. So he nodded slightly to Sui Yu and the others, and then continued to say to the villagers in front of him: "I know that you are very anxious because of the disappearance of your child, but after the mercenary group disappeared inexplicably before, our mercenary guild has increased the difficulty of this task to level five, and there are only three mercenary groups above level five in our Bryce Town, and two of them are not stationed in the town in the mission now!" ”
"So there is still a mercenary group above level 5 that can take on this task, right? Please! Can you help everyone contact that team, every day of delay, our children's hope of being rescued is one less point! ”
"But......" The receptionist glanced at Sui Yu with some embarrassment and said to the villagers, "The reward you provided after raising funds was only twenty silver coins. To be honest, this amount of money is not to mention the mercenary group. Even the mercenary squad may not be willing to take on your mission! Moreover, the pension required by the two mercenary teams and one mercenary group that disappeared because of this mission has already cost the union hundreds of silver coins, so now the mercenary guild is not willing to pay you to hire mercenaries again! ”
A young man interjected and said to the receptionist: "However, those mercenaries are just missing, if someone can find out the mystery of the disappearance of the children and those mercenaries, maybe everyone can be saved!" ”
The kind receptionist finally frowned and said to the young man in a very stern tone, "This is gambling!" And it's not wealth that's at stake, it's life! What if more people go to investigate and more people take their lives?! ”
"But......" The young man was silent, and the other villagers seemed to have dead faces. Even two young peasant women couldn't help but cry bitterly: "O child! Where the hell did you go? Mommy misses you so much! Come back soon! Mom can't live without you! ”
The voice was so sad that the receptionist who had just angrily scolded the young man couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and even several mercenary teams who came to hand in the task felt compassion and asked what had happened to these villagers that made them so sad.
After listening to the reception ladies at the other counters briefing the mercenaries, Sui Yu finally learned that the villagers' village seemed to be located in a relatively fertile place on the northwest side of Bryce Town.
Because the vicinity is full of fertile land and relatively close to Mesaqim City, a large city in the Talaya Kingdom, and the light of the nearby demonic beasts was driven away by the patrol of the city guards of Mesaqim City, the lives of the villagers in those villages are relatively peaceful and prosperous compared to other places.
But maybe it's because the world is full of dangers after all. The happy and peaceful life of the villagers has recently been shattered by a series of mysterious events.
A large number of children disappeared inexplicably, and the disappearance was so strange that even the sheriff of Mesatchem City could not investigate the reason for the disappearance of the child, and even the more famous sheriff in Mesatchem City disappeared after investigating for a period of time.
Later, the city of Mesatchem sent a lot of sheriffs and mercenaries to investigate, but the result was still clueless, and after several sheriffs and mercenaries disappeared, the remaining sheriffs and mercenaries all ran back to Mesachem City and did not dare to care about this matter again.
So those villagers had to send someone to Bryce Town for help, just in the hope of seeing if the mercenaries here could investigate the truth of the mysterious disappearance.
Yes, these villagers are actually just some of the victims, in order to be able to find the missing children and solve the mysterious events that have plagued everyone recently, the villagers of those villages have divided into several teams and went to the mercenary guilds in several nearby villages and towns to ask for help.
However, this matter seems to be a very tricky event, and even due to the fact that several mercenary groups have been folded in, this mysterious disappearance has become notorious. When they realized that this was the case, the mercenaries who had compassion turned around and left, and it seemed that no one was willing to take their lives because of their compassion.
So after figuring out what it was, Sui Yu also planned to flash people quickly, this thing sounded very evil, in case someone asked for it and triggered the serial task, then he couldn't find a tune to cry!
However, just when Sui Yu was about to flash people, the villagers who never said that they couldn't help the receptionist to contact the mercenary group turned their heads and saw Sui Yu and his party who were about to leave, and then a peasant woman with sharp eyes saw Sui Yu at a glance, and each of them had a uniform badge that looked like wings and looked like a white cloud on their chests (usually Sui Yu didn't wear a mercenary badge, but because he entered the city last night in order to facilitate the review of the city guards, he pinned the mercenary badge on his chest along with the Hero Medal).
The difference between the mercenary badge and the Talaya Hero Medal These villagers can't tell the difference, they just know that Sui Yu's group should be a team, and judging by the number of people, it is definitely a mercenary group!
So the peasant woman stepped forward and knelt down in front of Sui Yu, grabbed Sui Yu's ankle directly, cried and wiped her tears, and cried loudly: "Please!" Save my children! Both of my children are missing! If I can't find it, I won't live! Please, save my child! I can't live without them! ”
Mission Name: Mysterious Disappearance?
Mission: Rescue the missing people!
Quest Rewards: Rewards are calculated based on the number of people saved.
Note: This quest is the fourth part of the chain quest!
Looking at the system prompt window that popped up in front of him, Sui Yu said that he would like to ask him to find a ...... before crying (To be continued.) )
