Chapter 255: Doubts
Although it sounds very simple, touching a female NPC can increase the attributes by 80% and keep it for a week, but the sequelae are still quite strict, for example, they will be entangled in death or life, Li Huailin also wants to ask the company how this strange favor setting is done, can it be set up as a worship like a male NPC, and it is not to make trouble for the player to become obsessed with something.
He doesn't know how difficult the favorability of NPCs in this game is, and normal people who play games for a year may not be able to brush up on an NPC's favorability to reverence. For example, Li Huailin's own side, he and Anthony are already such iron buddies, but Anthony's favorability has only declined once.
"Forget it, hurry up and finish this task, I'll go to Veranica's side to have a look, although it may be said that there may be a task, but it's only 30,000 experience." Li Huailin said to himself, after opening the abyss last time, the system announced that he had rewarded himself with tens of thousands of experience, and now it is not such an exaggeration to be demoted.
While thinking like this, he followed Yi Shui Beiqiu to the village in front, and took a closer look at this village is really a very small village, about the same size as the village Li Huailin saw on that desert island last time, but it is slightly better than that side, because there is a primitive life of hunting and gathering for a living, and at least this side is still an agricultural society.
Before I arrived in the village, someone from the village had already come out to greet me, and there were nearly ten people in total. One of the more striking is the one in the middle who looks like a head and wears a black robe. The name of this NPC is called: Moira, it sounds like a woman, although Li Huailin can't see the other party's face, but looking at the proportion of height and body shape, he is probably sure that the other party is a female NPC, otherwise it would be too girly.
"I'm back. Miss Moira. Yi Shui Beiqiu here looked at Moira, and immediately went up and took the initiative to say, it seems that this Moira is the NPC who issued the task.
"Really? Adventurer-sama. As soon as Moira opened her mouth, it was really a female voice, Li Huailin guessed correctly, but it was a little strange, why did this guy not look like a villager. How could ordinary villagers make themselves like this?
"So did you get that thing?" Moira continued.
"Yes, it's already here." Yi Shui Beiqiu here, nodded, and then took out the life box from last time, but this time this one should have been dealt with by the people of the Holy See, and it looks much cleaner.
"That's it, Adventurer!" Moira here sounded very happy, but the fate box looked left and right, and then said, "The adventurer is really powerful. β
"Needless to say." Yi Shui Beiqiu here said. "Then let's move on to the next step."
"Okay, let's start preparing right away, please wait a little bit, Adventurer." Moira nodded, and immediately took everyone to prepare.
"This guy is the NPC that issued the quest?" Li Huailin watched Moira leave, so he walked up and asked.
"Yes, she is a wizard who lives in this village, and this AA-level hidden is what she posted." Yi Shui Beiqiu replied.
"You...... Don't you think it's a little weird? How could there be a wizard in such an ordinary small village? Li Huailin asked.
"Huh? Is there anything strange about it? It's a game, and it's possible for anything to appear. Yi Shui replied.
"What exactly is the mission? What's next for her? Li Huailin wanted to take a closer look this time.
"Oh. That's right. "This Yi Shui Beiqiu answered very simply, after all, the two of them are going to do the task in a while." At the beginning, I was leveling up here, and then I found this village, and when I entered this village, I found that the whole village was in a state of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there were basically no villagers, and then I found the wizard Moira, and then I received this task. β
"It turns out that this village was attacked by demonic beasts not long ago. 90% of the villagers were killed by the beasts, except for Moira and a few who escaped without being in the village at the time. Yi Shui Beiqiu continued, "After that, the first task I received was to kill a large number of demonized beasts, a total of 500 demonized wolves, and I was also leveling anyway. And he killed it. β
"Oh......" Li Huailin nodded, "And then?" β
"Although the number of demonized wolves has been reduced, Moira said that the spirits of the villagers who are now killed by demonized beasts may become evil spirits because their grievances cannot be dissipated, so she gave me a task to purify their souls." Yi Shui Beiqiu said, "But the souls of the current villagers are not in this world, and we must go to the world of the dead to find the souls of the villagers." β
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned, "This is okay?" β
"It's normal to have a world with the dead." Yi Shui Beiqiu said, "However, Moira said that there is no container to maintain the souls of the villagers now, so if you directly summon the souls of the villagers back, the souls will escape and become wandering spirits." So I was tasked with finding an empty lifebox, because the Lich's lifebox is a soul-holding item. β
"And then the next task is to summon the souls back, and then put them all in this life box?" Li Huailin asked.
"Well, I haven't asked about the specifics yet, but Moira said that the last step will require two people." Yi Shui Beiqiu said, "Is there anything strange? β
"There are so many strange places, okay?" Li Huailin raised his forehead, "I don't know how to blind you at all, this wizard obviously wants to collect the souls of the villagers?" What do you think he's collecting these souls for? β
"It must be to purify the souls of their unjust deaths." Yi Shui Beiqiu here replied as a matter of course.
"Isn't purifying the soul a matter for the Holy See? Why do sorcerers do it, and have you ever heard that the Holy See summons other people's souls back and purifies them? Li Huailin asked.
"Alas......"
"I've already arrived in the world of the dead, and it's basically said that I'm resting, so why do you summon the other party back for some reason......," Li Huailin said, "It's obvious that this wizard wants to use the souls of the villagers to do something." β
"Really?" Yi Shui Beiqiu said uncertainly, "Moira people are very good, could it be that you think too much." β
"I think there are a lot of yarns, and the people who stood next to Moira just now are the remaining villagers here?"
"yes, I saw it last time." Yi Shui Beiqiu nodded.
"How can there be such a strong villager, can he go straight to the battlefield, okay?" Li Huailin said, "One by one, they look like tigers, and there are two of them with knife wounds on their bodies, they don't look like villagers, these guys look like Moira's subordinates, who else can prove that this Moira was originally a person from the village?" β
"Huh? What do you mean......" Yi Shui Beiqiu here suddenly figured out something.
"Let's assume that the villagers of a village are attacked by wild beasts and all of them die, and then a wizard passing by wants to do something with the souls of these villagers, but can't do it himself, and then an adventurer happens to come, so he asks her to do a mission or something, do you think there is a possibility of this...... Li Huailin said immediately.
"This ......" Yi Shui Beiqiu was shocked by Li Huailin's conjecture, "This ...... This...... It's a real possibility...... But could it be that you are thinking too much? β
"Oh, it's possible to think too much,......" Li Huailin nodded, "Anyway, I just took a look, and it's possible to talk nonsense." β
"But it's a little strange for you to say that." Yi Shui Beiqiu said, "If that's the case, what should we do? β
"What to do? I'm just saying that the other party's purpose may be different from what you think, which doesn't seem to conflict with doing this task. Li Huailin said suddenly.
"Huh?" Yi Shui Beiqiu here hasn't reacted yet.
"In other words, your purpose is to do the task, anyway, it's just to complete the task, as for what the other party's purpose is, it's none of your business, right, anyway, the reward of the task won't be less than yours, right?" Li Huailin spread his hands and said.
"Huh? This...... Is that okay? If she's really going to do something with the souls of the villagers, we don't care? Yi Shui Beiqiu asked.
"yes, what's your business?" Li Huailin said.
"But in this case, aren't the villagers pitiful?" Yi Shui Beiqiu said.
"Dead are dead, what else is pitiful." Li Huailin said, "A bunch of games count jΓΉ, the system arranges for them to die, they have to die according to the plot, what does it have to do with you, besides, you haven't even seen the other party's face, what's there to pity them." β
"This ......," Yi Shui Beiqiu said with a little hesitation.
"Besides, I just guessed nonsense, maybe this witch is really just trying to purify the souls of the villagers, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Hmm...... But...... As soon as you say it, I'll ...... now" Yi Shui Beiqiu was just about to say something, when an NPC suddenly ran over here, and the two recognized him as a person who was standing next to Moira just now.
"Adventurer, Lord Moira's ritual is ready, now please come over." This NPC said to Yi Shui Beiqiu.
"Oh, is it alright?" Yi Shui Beiqiu here looked at this NPC by the way, and sure enough, there were a few knife marks on his body, so he asked, "What's going on with you, these scars look like knife wounds." β
"Oh, this one." The NPC here was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "That's right, in fact, many people in our village used to join the army, but then they were discharged from the army, and everyone went back to the village to farm." β
"Oh, that's right." Yi Shui Beiqiu also made sense when he thought about it, "I'm sorry to be a little curious to ask, let's go over." (To be continued......)
