was deceived by a charlatan to the door of the village chief's house, and Lin Shuai was still a little depressed.

I thought it was the clue to the last jade pendant fragment, but now it seems that I have to continue to visit the villagers.

As you walk, open the minimap.

The above shows that there are currently 41 villagers, and after removing the people who have been in contact, there are still about 30 left, and these people need to ask them one by one.

Just as he was thinking, there was a "squeak" behind him, and the door opened.

"Are you looking for me, come in." A slightly vicissitudes of life came out of a man's voice.

Lin Shuai turned his head, and it was a tall and thin middle-aged man who spoke, looking very ordinary, with a western face, pale blonde hair curly, and a little pale face, as if he was not resting well, with a hint of dark circles under his eyes.

The man was holding on to the door, looking at himself, thinking that he should be inviting himself.

"The village chief?" Lin Shuai asked.

This NPC doesn't know why, there is no name or title displayed on the top of the head, like the charlatan before, Liu Banxian is displayed on the top of his head, and the full name of the old king who sells sugar gourds is displayed on the top of his head, and Lin Shuai, an NPC who doesn't bring anything, is still seeing it for the first time.

"Hmm." The man nodded and made an inviting gesture to Lin Shuai.

Lin Shuai didn't hesitate, stepped in, and the village chief closed the door behind him.

The yard is not big, and there is an old locust tree planted on one side of the wall, crooked, and it looks like it didn't grow well when I was a child.

The courtyard is a stone-paved road, and there are some edible vegetables planted on both sides of the road, which are growing very well, and it seems that the village chief is still self-sufficient.

There was a stone table in front of the house, there were some cups for drinking tea, and an inconspicuous thing was placed on the table, Lin Shuai took a closer look, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off, because it was the last piece of fragment he was looking for!

……

It's really here! Lin Shuai was stunned, and his thinking was a little confused.

The village chief crossed Lin Shuai and came to the table, signaling that Lin Shuai could sit casually.

Lin Shuai's mind was racing now, and without thinking much about it, he sat directly on the chair on the side of the jade pendant fragment, staring at the fragment silently.

"You're here for this?" The village chief picked up the fragment with his left hand, and Lin Shuai came back to his senses.

It seems that Liu Banxian didn't lie to himself, the last piece is indeed here, but why does he know? Could it be that it is really a finger pinch?

However, if he didn't calculate it, but someone told him in advance, what about the deliberate design?

Blacksmith Li said at the beginning that it was best for him to find all six pieces and then come to see the village chief, but in the current situation, this is simply impossible.

The last piece has been in the hands of the village chief, and if he doesn't come to find it, he will always be unable to collect it, and if he comes to find it, he will consume five jade pendant fragments, and the same can't be collected, which is a dead knot that cannot be solved.

But now, under the guidance of Liu Banxian, he came to the door of the village chief's house. It was such a coincidence that the village chief knew that he was coming, and welcomed himself in, and instead of consuming five fragments, he also put the last fragment on the table.

……

The idea in my head gradually became clearer.

Let's assume that Blacksmith Li includes everyone in the village who owns this fragment, and they are plotting something.

The premise of this matter is that a person who knows Elsie and collects all six jade pendant fragments can go to the village chief's house to trigger it.

They wanted to hide this from the village chief.

That means that when these six jade pendant fragments are combined, they will become a complete thing, and this thing will have an impact on the village chief!

But now, the village chief somehow learned the news and managed to get one of the fragments, or maybe one of the six of them defected and handed over the fragments to the village chief!

Maybe that person is that Liu Banxian.

Now Liu Banxian and the village chief are united, and the five of them are another group.

The apparent harmony is fake, and this is likely to be the meaning of Blacksmith Li's words, although it is a bit far-fetched.

……

Thoughts returned to the front, and the village chief was asking himself.

"Well, part of it is because of it." Lin Shuai said frankly.

"The other part?" The village chief raised his eyebrows.

"I'd like to check out what happened to Elsie."

"Ding Dong, hidden quest, witch's test quest completed, reward experience points 100 points."

"Ding Dong, hide the mission change, pursue the events of the year, and explore the truth."

……

Just when Lin Shuai said Els, the system prompt suddenly came, and Lin Shuai checked and found that this hidden task was done in several steps, and finding the village chief turned out to be just the first step of this hidden task, and the reward was touching.

The second step now is to explore the truth and find out what really happened in the mysteries.

The reward for the mission is still unknown, the punishment has not changed, the mission has only changed to a goal, and everything else remains the same.

……

"Els ......" A strange light flashed in the village chief's eyes, and he didn't answer.

"Oh yes, I haven't introduced it yet, I'm the village chief of Novice Village No. 42, Rod." Rod stretched out his right hand, and Lin Shuai shook it lightly with him.

"The rain falls." The hand was a little unnatural, and Lin Shuai found that this Rod's body temperature was simply terrifying.

Standing beside him, he didn't feel it at all, and when he held it, he knew that the dead man had not been so cold in the morgue for a week, like an ice cube!

How did he survive with such a low body temperature, it's not scientific!

"Hehe, don't mind, there's a little problem." Rod seemed to see Lin Shuai's doubts, and smiled reluctantly, and the somewhat pale face seemed to have disappeared in an instant in Lin Shuai's eyes.

Psychological role, psychological effect. Lin Shuai comforted himself, this is just a game, this is just a game, even if the dead are resurrected, it's fine......

"I can probably guess the purpose of your coming, and I invited you to come in for these things." Rod said, playing with the jade pendant fragment in his hand.

"I can't give you this thing for the time being, because you've already collected five pieces, and that thing will be automatically synthesized."

"What's that?" Lin Shuai asked, it seems that he really guessed right!

"One piece...... Uh......" Rod scratched his right hand a few times, Lin Shuai didn't understand what he was trying to express, "Something that will be bad for me, yes, that's it." He smiled and affirmed.

Lin Shuai nodded.

"I know you have a lot of questions in your heart right now, don't worry, I'll answer them to you one by one." Rod motioned to Lin Shuai not to rush to ask, and then he began to tell a completely different story from what Lin Shuai knew.

……

"Elsie is not an ordinary priest, she is the next saint trained by the Holy See, the inheritor of light, but this symbol of God's light on earth has fallen.

What drove her to fall was a forbidden weapon left behind by the demons, just by listening to the name, you know that it was definitely not a good thing, indeed, it was the forbidden fruit left by God in the world.

By the time the people of the Holy See found out that Elsie had been infected by the power of the demons, she was hopeless.

Therefore, the Holy See decided to secretly execute this witch turned from a saint, so as not to spread the news and cause a sensation and cause a negative impact on the Holy See.

Elsie was originally a genius in cultivation, and the power of cultivating the Holy Light entered the realm very quickly, and the power of cultivating the demon clan was even faster!

When the people of the Holy See surrounded her, they found that she already had a strength comparable to that of the Cardinal Archbishop, and the encirclement personnel sent under the condition of seriously underestimating her strength failed to capture Els, so she ran away and ran away to the Imperial City of the Daqing Empire, outside the Holy Radiance City under the jurisdiction of the Holy See.

Here the witch's fall is even deeper, she falls in love and falls in love with an ordinary Imperial soldier.

She gave everything she had to the soldier without reservation, but in exchange for betrayal.

The soldier knew her identity, and he did not have the courage to face the behemoth of the Holy See, or he could not resist the temptation given by the Holy See.

When the soldiers promised her to return to her hometown to get married, they cooperated with the Holy See to launch a sneak attack on her.

Elsie escaped from her wounds and dying, and although she was still alive, her heart was completely dead.

The only thing that drove her to continue to live was the thought of revenge on the Holy See.

And the soldier who thought he could be glorious and rich, because he knew too many secrets, Elsie had not caught it, and in order to prevent him from becoming a handle of the Holy See, he also secretly disappeared the year after his promotion, which is really ridiculous. ”

Rod poured himself a cup of tea and moistened his throat, Lin Shuai was completely fascinated by it, this horse was almost too far away from what he knew, right?!

Holy Maiden, betrayal, so exciting!

By the way, didn't this Rhodes send No. 42 Novice Village after that? Why did you know such secret information?

"The witch disappeared, at least in front of the world, the Holy See and the witch's family sent a large number of people to patrol the mountains, but they couldn't find her traces, and after a long time, the matter was over.

However, in this village, there are still some eyeliners left by those two forces. ”

"You know what I mean when I say that, right?" Rod looked at Lin Shuai, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"You mean, these people are eyeliner?" Lin Shuai straightened out his clue and pointed to the jade pendant in his hand and said.

Rod took another sip of tea, "Almost." ”

"Aang." Lin Shuai was thoughtful and stared at Rod's eyes, "Then who are you?" ”

"A person who has seen uneven roads, you can understand it this way." Rod's eyes didn't dodge in the slightest, and there was not even any fluctuation at all, which made Lin Shuai feel like he was looking at a dead man.

I unconsciously got goosebumps on my body.

"And what is this jade pendant?"

"This jade pendant is the demon forbidden weapon that the witch touched back then, and it has been damaged, but if her power appears around her, an alarm will be raised to notify someone from the Holy See." Rod explained lightly.

"On you?" Lin Shuai frowned, couldn't it be that he was controlled by the witch with a secret method, right?

"Don't be nervous, I'm volunteering."
