Chapter 1186: The Missing Man
"So what information do you already get from Mario?" Carl here said. Now Li Huailin and his party have returned to the house of the wealthy businessman Karl again, of course, they are not here to report the mission, because the stone of Homlan has not been found, and the task has only reached the second step.
"Yes, we've gotten word from Mario's side, and now we know the approximate location of the Holmland Stone." Summoning the Jade Emperor replied.
"Then hurry up and find it." Carl said, "I asked you to bring the stone back to me, not for me to ask Mario for information, you have to complete the quest to get the reward, or are you ready to give up the quest?" I'll find another adventurer to deal with it. ”
"No, we're not going to ask about the Stone of Homran, we're going to ask about your former master, the Count of Gitalera." Li Huailin here stepped forward and said. Yes, Li Huailin thought about it for a while, where he had heard the name Gitalera, that is, when he was on a mission here, he heard Carl say that he turned out to be the butler of a noble lord, and this noble lord happened to be called Count Gitalera, this name is very rare, it should be impossible to repeat, so they came back.
"My old master?" Carl asked.
"Bell. Gitalera, do you have an impression of the name? Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, that's the name of my lord." Carl here, nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
"You said your master died, how did you die?" Li Huailin asked.
"In fact...... I don't know. Carl shook his head.
"Don't know?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh...... Missing, to be exact. "It was sixteen years ago, when I was the chief steward of the Gitalera family, and it was normal that day, and I went to my master's room at 7 a.m. to look for him. He always asked me to wake him up at this time, but when I opened the door, there was no one in the host's room. Of course I'm sure he should...... It's inside, in fact I mean pretty sure he's in it, but, there's no one in there. Then, it disappeared and was never seen again. ”
"Disappeared without warning?" Qianzi asked unchanged.
"Yes, left his title, his land, his property, his qiē." Carl said, "Of course, the investigation was launched immediately, and a lot of people were sent to investigate at that time. King Rein...... His Royal Highness the former King paid attention to the matter, but ...... I just couldn't find my master, and the country couldn't be left without an owner for a day, and the master's Earl Ridge couldn't run without jurisdiction, so after three months of investigation, they finally came to the conclusion that my master was dead, and then ...... That's it. ”
"The owner has no children and no siblings. Although the Gitalera family had the title of count, they withered. After the death of the master, there was no direct blood to inherit the title, and the current Count of Gitalera is the nephew of the old master, who did not have the surname Gitalera before, but changed his surname after inheriting the title. He invited me to stay, but I declined, taking severance pay. I left the house of Gitalera, and the situation after that was the same as you see now. Carl said here.
"When did Gitalera invade the Divine Realm?" Li Huailin turned his head and asked.
"Probably, more than ten years ago, ......," the lucky girl next to her, Saint Elia, also said with a look of surprise.
"That's right." The summoned Jade Emperor here said, "In other words, this Count Gitalera is not missing, but has gone to the God Realm?" ”
"And then? What happened to him? Li Huailin asked.
"I don't know." Santa Elia shook her head. "That's all I know, and even I don't know the specifics."
"You ask if this is until the news of my master?" Carl said suddenly, "Actually, I didn't believe that my master was dead, I always thought he was still alive, so I've been following this news all these years, if you know anything, please tell me." ”
"Why do you think your master is still alive?" Li Huailin asked, "Did you get any accurate information?" ”
"No," Karl shook his head, "a subordinate said that he saw a huge pillar ......of light in our Earl's Court on the night the master disappeared, but I was asleep at the time and didn't see it, I always thought it was very strange, so I have been tracking it down for the past few years, but I have found nothing." But my master could not have disappeared suddenly, there must have been some special circumstance. ”
"It's a very special situation." Li Huailin smiled, "Is there anything else strange besides?" ”
"Actually, we've been investigating whether the house has been invaded, that is, someone has taken the Count away, but after investigating, we haven't found any signs of invasion, and no one has seen anyone enter, but I noticed a strange place." Carl said.
"Strange place?"
"Yes, nothing is missing in the whole Earl's Court, except for one thing...... said Karl.
"Stones." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, that's why I asked you to look for it, nothing was missing, except for the stones, I think someone took a fancy to them, that's why my master disappeared, anyway, that's the only clue I have now." "Actually, I don't really like collecting stones, I'm just asking for news about my master's stones, hoping to find some clues." ”
"Wait......" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Carl, you seem to have just said the word 'these stones'. ”
"Yes, I did." Carl nodded.
"More than one?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Carl here, nodded, then took out the notebook that he had shown Li Huailin before, and then turned another page, "Look, this is also ......"
Li Huailin used to just do the task to see what the task items looked like, and he didn't pay attention to the front of the notebook at all, but now he took it and took a look, and sure enough, the first few pages also had the same stone drawn, but the appearance was a little different.
"Déjà vu...... I must have seen this thing there. Li Huailin looked at this stone, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, and he had always felt it before, but he didn't think about it carefully, and now he looked at the number of studies written by the Count of Gitalera next to him.
"Touching will have an unknown effect on the target...... Partially caused biological mutation...... Extremely dangerous......"
"The Legacy of the Chosen?" Li Huailin actually saw such a message in his notebook, of course, it seems that Count Gitalera here is also very uncertain, because he also added a question mark at the end of this sentence.
"Wait, I know what this is?" Li Huailin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered, "This thing is ...... Treasure? ”
"Secret treasure?" Everyone next to him didn't know what Li Huailin was talking about, because they hadn't touched the secret treasure yet.
"Does this thing have anything to do with the Chosen One?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, the information was insufficient, the Gitalera here should have been studying for a long time but still couldn't get any effective information, let alone Li Huailin, but anyway, Li Huailin knew this clue.
"What do you think?" The summoned Jade Emperor next to him asked.
"It's a troublesome matter, and it's safe...... By the way, she's not here now. Li Huailin nodded, until there are not many people in the secret treasure, and An Ran is one, but now she can't go online, "Anyway, it seems that I must do this task." ”
Li Huailin was originally a little troublesome, and the first step of this task was to the extreme, and it was a bit like retreating, but he learned that now, this task had to be done, not only related to the secret treasure, but also involved the matter of the Chosen One.
"I was going to do it." The summoning Jade Emperor here said.
"Do you know the news of my master, this warrior?" Carl asked.
"No, not yet." Li Huailin immediately said, "Of course, we will also help you check it out a little." ”
"That's great." Karl here immediately said, "If you do find my master, I am willing to repay you with all my possessions." ”
System Prompt: Trigger a hidden S-class quest to find the missing person.
Quest Requirements: Find Carl. Count of Gitalera.
Quest Prompt: This is said to be related to the Protoss.
Rewards: 500,000 experience, 257,700 gold, 1,500 reputation points, and special rewards.
"Whew!" The sudden triggering of the S-class hidden mission surprised everyone, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
"S-Class Hidden? That's kind of amazing, isn't it? Qianzai said, "This Xiao Yu is going to regret it for the rest of his life if he misses it, I haven't seen the S-level hidden until now, this is too much." ”
"That's a lot of money, brother-in-law." The red face drinking water here seems to be the bonus of the task, and the 25w gold coins written directly on it are probably all the property that Carl said.
"Something to do with the Protoss? Referring to the intruder Karl. Getalera's invasion of the gods. The summoning Jade Emperor here is very calm, and has already begun to analyze, "No wonder it's an S-level mission, but the question is, how should we find this person?" ”
"Anyway, we only have the only clue we have now." Li Huailin said.
"These stones?" The Jade Emperor was summoned, and he also took Gitalera's information and flipped through it.
"Anyway, let's find this Homland Stone first." Li Huailin said. (To be continued......) R1292
