Chapter 37: Where the Mad Hunter Is
With such a complex and secret plot, Su Ming really couldn't believe that it was the same level as the last werewolf game. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info originally thought that it would be a lot easier to change from a game to a game against people, but now it seems that the difficulty has increased.
Su Ming closed his eyes and recalled for a few seconds, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of clouds, and his mood seemed to be even worse: "This game is not low in terms of brain, but the genre is a combat game, which shows that the requirements for combat power are higher, and I really don't know how strong the requirements for strength will be to clear the customs." ”
While thinking about it, I walked and walked, and before I knew it, I walked back to my residence.
Su Ming entered the room and opened the fable book, turning the pages of the book quickly, a pair of pupils with thick dark circles flashing back and forth, browsing the contents of the book with great efficiency.
went down again, and sure enough, as Su Ming expected, there was no fable of the wild boar king at all.
"Well, I have long thought that Alice could not see it, but I don't think that the village chief is lying, where is this fable?"
Su Ming was a lot more careful at this moment, and began to slowly flip through page by page, not letting go of any detail.
The collection of fables was not thick, and it took a short time to read it once, and when Su Ming turned a page of the book for the third time, his expression changed.
Although there is nothing strange about this page of the book, there is always a feeling that something is missing in the middle, and after careful observation by Su Ming, he determined that there is a missing page in the middle, but the person who tore the book is very attentive, and the traces are almost invisible.
"No wonder I didn't have a clue after reading it."
Su Ming suddenly realized, because each fable in the book occupies at least two or three pages of content, if two or three consecutive pages are missing, it is very easy to be discovered, even if only one page is missing, the content will have the problem of wrong connection. And the story of the Boar King may only have one page, and the whole story is gone when one page is torn off, so the content is smoothly connected, and there is no obvious problem with the pages.
It was precisely because of this that he did not find out at the first time.
Although there has been a major breakthrough, the question arises again: where did the missing page go? And who tore it off?
Knock knock! Su Ming was still immersed in reasoning, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
A few seconds after the knock on the door, Alice pushed the door open and threw a large bag of gold coins on Su Ming's table. A bag full of golden Magill coins struck the wooden table with a crisp and pleasant metallic crunch.
"Today's task is completed, I am a lot more proficient, and the efficiency is quite high. Are you making any progress here? ”
Alice breathed a long sigh of relief, and then elegantly tied her waist-length red hair behind her back with a plain silk ribbon, tying it into a small bunch, revealing her delicate and smooth white neck, with a few stains on her white face as white as snow, and a layer of fine beads of sweat still hanging on her delicate and beautiful nose, it seemed that the task of supervising the hunt really made Alice tired.
"Sort of, you see." Su Ming spread the book in front of Alice......
Alice gathered the hem of her robe and sat down gracefully in the chair, her jade fingers gently supporting her chin, her willow eyebrows frowning slightly, thoughtful.
"I don't know who tore off the pages of the book, the Boar King is a plot boss, Dragon Quest must also have something to do with it, and ......"
"And most importantly, we don't know exactly what we're trying to do." Su Ming answered.
Now that I think about it, everyone has overlooked a very important question, that is, what exactly is the mission and what are the conditions for customs clearance?
The original mission description didn't actually point out the underlying goal at all, just that there was treasure in Darkmoon Ridge and that there was a monster guarding it. But it doesn't say what the adventurer does, is it to defeat monsters and seize treasure? Or something else.
Su Ming seemed to remember something, and snapped his fingers: "Alice, have you noticed that there was a crazy hunter in the mission description at the beginning, but we haven't been in contact with it at all!" ”
Alice was stunned for a moment, and then her face slowly showed surprise.
yes, what about the hunter? Didn't he say there was treasure in it? This kind of key character who can appear in the mission brief, why hasn't it appeared yet?
Su Ming's fingers lightly brushed his eyelids, and a strange smile appeared on his face, with a hint of excitement and confidence in his smile, this smile Alice had seen, at the end of the werewolf game, Su Ming was this kind of smile. And when he smiled like that, he must have made some major discovery.
It's like a crazy gambler who doesn't know exactly what the cards are before the flop, but he can firmly believe in his own judgment.
"Did you think of anything?" Alice asked cautiously.
Su Ming's expression was serious and serious, and he looked unfathomable. His slender fingers gently flicked the cover of the book, closed the "Fables" on the table, and then slowly spoke:
"Well, I think I know the whereabouts of that page. I'm going to figure out how to get that page, and you keep those guys hunting, and try to get some good equipment, and it should come in handy later. ”
After that, Su Ming didn't wait for Alice to answer, and slammed the door at the speed of light again, ran out of the room directly, and rushed to the village chief's house as fast as possible.
Along the way, when the group of villagers saw Su Ming's hurried appearance, they all hurriedly retreated and made way for them.
This group of villagers was already quite wary of the player, and Su Ming didn't care about such a reaction, just quickened his pace and rushed all the way.
Bang!
Su Ming pushed the door in, panting and standing at the door with his hands on his knees, staring at the village elder with a pair of eyes smiling, seeing that the old man was uncomfortable, and he forgot to put down the water glass that was raised to the air.
"Didn't you just leave? Why are you back? Could it be that something has fallen here? ”
Su Ming smiled, pulled over a stool and sat on it, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes looked at each other, and the smile in his eyes made people involuntarily feel hairy: "Village Chief, I heard that you have a crazy hunter here, but I haven't seen it, can you tell me where he is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Ming obviously saw that the old man's face had changed, and his expression had become very serious, and the expressions of the other old men beside him also changed suddenly, and they all showed panic, just bowing their heads and being silent.
Su Ming was so shrewd, any slight change in his expression was seen in his eyes, and the old man knew that there was something hidden from him at a glance.
"Village Chief, why don't you speak?" Su Ming spoke again, and the volume suddenly rose to a level, making the old man's body tremble.
"Huh? What a crazy hunter, we don't have such a thing. ”
While speaking, the village chief quietly looked away, instinctively refused to look at Su Ming, then took a sip of water and gently put the water cup on the table.
And Su Ming is a person who has read the character profile, and the crazy hunter must exist, how can he believe such an obvious lie from the other party? So he immediately made a decision and began to intensify the torture: "Hey, this is a necessary clue, if you want to save this village, I must meet him, if the village chief knows his news, please tell me." ”
When the old man heard this, he was not in a hurry, but smiled disappreciatively, stroked the gray goatee and replied: "Our village has always been peaceful and happy, and there have been no natural disasters or disasters for many years, what rescue is needed?" The only threat to this is the monsters in the Dark Moon Ridge, but with the enchantment left behind by the archmage, it is impossible for any monster to come out! It's pretty safe here, so there's no danger. ”
Bullshit!
Su Ming scolded in his heart, dare to say such inconsistent words, can he really be a fool. Obviously, when they first met, they said that the village needed to be saved by warriors like them who defeated vampires, but now they say that there is an enchantment and it is safe, who would believe it!
Although he was infinitely sarcastic in his heart, he showed an enlightened appearance on the surface: "Whoa! It turns out that this is the case, we originally heard that there was a mad hunter in Darkmoon Ridge, said some crazy things, and heard that there was some disaster in this village, so we came. Since it's so safe here, we have no reason to stay, there are still many places we need to save, and we will leave tomorrow. ”
After saying that, Su Ming got up and was about to leave, and while getting up, he secretly squinted at the old men, only to see that the village chief looked hesitant and restless, while several old guys around him looked at the village chief in unison, with a panicked expression, and his eyes were full of urging and anxiety, as if he was instigating the village chief to leave Su Ming behind.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming was relieved, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he walked more resolutely.
Then, just as Su Ming was about to perform the stunt of slamming the door at the speed of light, a loud shout came from behind him: "Lord Pastor, please wait a minute!" ”
Roar~ Expected.
Su Ming smiled, then retracted his smile and replaced it with a serious expression, slowly turned around, and threw a puzzled look at the other party: "Is there anything else going on with the village chief?" ”
"Ahem...... Well, old man, I'm old, and my memory is not very good, and now that I think about it, there is indeed such a person. I made trouble a while ago and was locked up in a small cave in the back mountain, so since the priest wants to see him, I'll take you there now. ”
"Oops? Didn't the village chief just say that there was nothing troublesome in the village? Originally, I thought that the hunter could provide a little clue, but since it has nothing to do with our mission, then we don't bother you, the village chief, so let him go. ”
Su Ming said casually, then turned around and left again.
"Wait a minute!" There was another stop, and Su Ming turned around again.
"Is there anything else?" Su Ming held back a smile and calmly turned to look at the other party.
