Chapter 9: Els's Clue
Lin Shuai, who has just been promoted to level five, has already begun to play the idea of a level 1 0 novice boss.
After all, the only boss will definitely explode, and the quality of the equipment will be super high, and no one will want to touch it a few times.
As long as you cause damage, you have a chance to get dividends, who would miss out on such a good thing?
……
Upgraded to level 5, the state is full, and the mana is restored to full value.
With a full 324 mana points, including the ability to auto-restore, it is about enough to release 17 Holy Light Bullets on your own.
Of course, Lin Shuai, who actually released 15 times and killed 7 monsters, had to stop.
If your mana is less than 10%, you will enter a state of exhaustion, and the feeling of dizziness and dizziness will be very uncomfortable.
The experience of upgrading from level 5 to level 6 has risen a lot, and now a level 7 monster can only give itself about 100 experience, if you want to upgrade, you must go back to the village to prepare some blue medicine.
There are only 1 silver and 37 copper coins in his pocket, I hope the medicine dealer in this game will not be too dark, Lin Shuai prayed silently in his heart.
On the way back, the number of players increased significantly, and even inside the Lost Forest, there were people who formed a team to go to the expedition from time to time.
Most people will struggle with the choice of characters and professions, and nicknames for a while, and Lin Shuai is so decisive in establishing a character, entering the game can be regarded as taking a little time advantage.
At this time, basically the 1,000 people allocated to each novice village have been filled.
Fortunately, the level of the first group of people has increased a little, and if they form a team, their combat effectiveness can be improved a lot, and they are all stationed in the high-level leveling area.
The Novice Village is much less crowded at this time than before.
Click on the minimap, which shows the location of the base NPC.
Let's go find the pastor of this village, Merlin.
In every village, there will be such an NPC, in the eyes of the villagers, they are doctors sent by the Holy See, who can treat some large and small injuries of the villagers.
In the eyes of the player, they are the fountain of life, and for a small amount of coins, they can restore the consumed mana and health.
High-level priests are in the city and are said to be able to lift curses and negative status among players.
The game has just been launched, and most of the players can keep up with the consumption by upgrading the state restored, and there are not many people here at the moment for the time being, and most of the people who come are looking for tasks by chance.
"May the Light bless you, warrior, I really don't need your help here."
Before Lin Shuai could speak, Pastor Merlin said this, with a helpless emotion on his face, it seemed that he was really troubled by the player.
"May the light fool you." Lin Shuai followed his example and said to him.
I am also a pastor, and sooner or later I will join the Holy See.
"Hello Pastor Merlin, you are the new pastor Yuluo, and I want to come to you to restore my state."
For the aborigines, all the players are the ones who have always lived in the land.
If you think of them as a person, rather than a set of data, it is equivalent to the people of the entire continent being brainwashed by some kind of force.
These people who are extra out of thin air are the original aborigines of the mainland, and even if the player goes offline in front of them and disappears into white light, they will only treat it as if the player has gone home to sleep and rest.
This is the explanation given on the official website.
"Oh! I see, sorry Pastor Rainfall, the number of professionals has suddenly started to increase lately, and everyone is asking strange questions, and my head is a little foggy. ”
Pastor Merlin hurriedly apologized, in his consciousness, Lin Shuai was at the same level as him, but Lin Shuai had not yet joined the Holy See and could not exert all his recovery abilities.
In fact, the priest does have the ability to restore mana and remove negative statuses, but it seems to be a rare skill book......
"Pastor Merlin, how much do I have to pay?" Lin Shuai said with a smile, but he sighed extremely in his heart.
What is the difference between what this NPC does and a real person??? He's a free-spirited person! Skynet company cattle batch!
"You only need to pay 20 copper coins to restore the state, but if it's Priest Rainfall, it only costs 15 copper coins."
Lin Shuai was stunned when he heard this, because he was keenly aware that what Merlin said was not "if it is Pastor Yuluo, who is also a pastor."
Instead, he said his name directly, which means that I am afraid that only I can get preferential treatment from him, and others will not have this treatment even if they are priests!
Aren't you a beauty? Could it be that Merlin saw his potential to be a pastor and did this to himself?
This Pastor Merlin already has a wife, and the possibility of is really unlikely, and besides, it's impossible to say if there is that kind of setting in this game......
Then there is only one explanation, the problem of their own charisma value.
The description given on the official website of the charm value is that it can increase the favorability of NPCs towards themselves, and it seems that price concessions are also one thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shuai had already given himself a reasonable explanation.
Removed 15 copper coins from the system backpack.
Currency is displayed as a number in the player's backpack, but when taken out, it will look like a coin.
And according to the quantity, it will automatically generate money bags, or cash boxes and other storage items.
This is to make it easier to trade with the aborigines.
The transaction between players has a systematic transaction column, and how many coins are just a number, so it is not so troublesome.
Pastor Merlin clasped his hands together and prayed. With a voice of "May the holy light protect you", a holy light fell on Lin Shuai's body.
In the warm feeling, the system prompts that the status has been fully restored.
"May the Light bless you, thank you very much, Pastor Merlin." Lin Shuai found that he had already liked this kind of chattering feeling hahaha.
"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do." Pastor Merlin's mood improved.
This is the first business he has opened today, and although he is respected in the village as a pastor, he has to earn the money to support his family.
Recently, no one in the village has been sick for a long time, and if it weren't for a few devout believers who would donate some money to the holy spring in the village from time to time, plus the guaranteed salary given by the Holy See, my family would be hungry.
It's finally open again, and although 15 copper coins are not much, it can still last for two days...... Pastor Merlin thought to himself.
"By the way, Pastor Merlin, do you know about Pastor Else?"
Lin Shuai, who turned around and was about to leave, suddenly thought of this matter, maybe he could ask this pastor to get any useful clues.
"Huh?" Pastor Merlin was stunned, obviously not expecting that Lin Shuai, as an outsider, would be able to know about Pastor Els, who had disappeared a long time ago.
"I've heard a little about this, Lady Elsie used to be one of the villagers in this village, and then disappeared in the Lost Forest. It seems that she was killed, but no one has found her body. ”
Merlin frowned and recalled, he had some inexplicable affection for Lin Shuai, he didn't know that this was the effect of charm value. It's just that he is willing to exchange some unimportant information with Lin Shuai.
"Later, her husband, an Imperial soldier from the same village, came back to look for her, and it seemed that he had also disappeared in the Lost Forest."
Merlin continued, and Lin Shuai listened carefully.
"Because Lady Elsie is a clergyman of the Holy See, and it is said that she has some connections with the Kenloe family, this incident was quite a big problem back then, but I was just an ordinary priest's apprentice at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to this matter."
Merlin's face leaked a hint of helplessness.
"Oh... ...... like this" Lin Shuai nodded, and was about to thank him, but found that Pastor Merlin interrupted his words and continued to speak, raising his eyebrows, and found that something was wrong.
Pastor Merlin was still frowning and recalling, not caring what Lin Shuai said.
"After I was sent to this village, I also inquired about Ms. Els, but most of the villagers didn't know anything, and seemed to be quite taboo about it. The old village chief had been ill before I came, and he could not find out the cause, and he died within two days, so I didn't have a chance to ask anything, and I didn't find any more clues. ”
"Later, the empire sent a new village chief to come, and the investigators continued to investigate for two months, but no clues were found, and this incident became an unsolved case, and over time, no one mentioned this matter again."
Finally, Pastor Merlin smiled lightly and said self-deprecatingly.
"Speaking of which, I'm not a member of this village, the empire stipulates that only after living in a place for five years can you be counted as a local resident, although my wife is from this village, but both parents must be local to register a newborn, so my two-year-old son can't get a household registration in the empire, hehe."
Pastor Merlin stopped when he said this, as if he had nothing to say, and looked at Lin Shuai with gentle eyes.
He didn't ask Lin Shuai where he learned the name Els, or rather, after he said this, it seemed that he had forgotten what he had said again, and returned to the state where he had just finished treating Lin Shuai.
Lin Shuai glanced at him deeply, Pastor Merlin was in a very strange state just now, as if he had entered some kind of established procedure and was telling a mission background story.
In general, in this case, it means that the player may have triggered a mission.
However, after he finished speaking, Lin Shuai did not receive any hints about the mission, as if Pastor Merlin really just told an ordinary story.
After a little contemplation, the system will automatically record the information of the conversation with the NPC, and he can watch it repeatedly, and Lin Shuai does not have the problem of worrying that he will not be able to remember such a long paragraph.
"Thank you very much, Pastor Merlin, and may the Light bless you." Lin Shuai thanked Merlin again and left thoughtfully.
After talking for a long time, Pastor Merlin seemed to have lost the desire to continue the conversation with Lin Shuai.
After protecting Lin Shuai, he turned around and went to do something else.
