Chapter 1092 - Quest Rewards That Feel Unaffordable
The city lord of Wuyue City did not do anything wrong, from the release of the quest to the receipt of the quest by Long Xiao, it was no different from other ordinary NPCs.
Long Xiao thought about it, took the scales from the black snake from his backpack, and after handing in the task, he took them in his hand casually, and obviously shook them in front of the city lord.
If the city lord really knew this black scale, he would definitely talk to Long Xiao directly. However, Long Xiao shook in front of him for a long time, and he didn't see him mention the black scales.
In other words, the city lord didn't know this black scale at all, and he didn't know the guardian spirit of the Black Snake Clan, and this person was undoubtedly fake.
Come to think of it, if Long Xiao hadn't suddenly fallen under the cliff, he wouldn't have accepted the task of the city lord's true or false nature, and naturally he wouldn't have discovered the true face of the city lord, and like ordinary players, he didn't care about NPCs.
After handing over the task of the city lord, Long Xiao said goodbye from the city lord's mansion, turned around and avoided the NPC guards of the city lord's mansion, and came to the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
The Black Snake Spirit was waiting for him in a corner, beckoning to Long Xiao from afar.
"Master Mage, come here!"
Originally, Long Xiao thought that he was going to run down the mountain to hand in the task, but he didn't expect to wait for him here.
"I have found out the accurate information, the city lord is indeed as the **** said, it is fake. The black scales are useless, he doesn't recognize. ”
The Black Snake Spirit sighed abruptly, and then said, "In that case, we can only find out where the real city lord is, and then make plans." Master, would you like to help me? ”
The task has come to this point, of course, Long Xiao has to continue, and without saying a word, the task will be next. The black snake looked like he had handed over the great task to you, and directly retreated and dissipated.
At present, there are still two unfinished tasks in front of Long Xiao.
One is the current search for the real lord of Wuyue City, and the other is to find his ball for a child and investigate the haunting of the backyard.
The first quest is already stuck here, and it's not okay to find the real city lord.
And the kid said that he heard that the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion was haunted, and he also had no clue about this task, so he could only sneak in to find clues.
Many NPC families in the backyard are patrolling, and they are also leading big dogs in their hands, all of them are hideous and extremely tight.
But after all, it's an NPC, as long as you avoid their route, you can still pass through here smoothly.
Long Xiao put on a stealth cloak along the obstacles at the root of the wall, and even if NPCs often pass by, they are like fish in water, very comfortable.
As long as he doesn't touch the NPCs and dogs, he won't be discovered.
After inspecting for a week, Long Xiao didn't find anything wrong.
Suddenly, he found a leather ball in front of a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
This is the same kid's ball.
The ball flashed brightly, indicating that it was a task prop, and Long Xiao directly put it away and put it in his backpack. Since there is a leather ball here, it means that the child often plays around here, and the strange noise he said is also coming from this yard.
Thinking of this, Long Xiao quietly stepped into this dilapidated courtyard.
The yard was very dilapidated, like an abandoned firewood house, and most of it was made of tall artemisia grass, which looked very deep.
Long Xiao just wanted to get closer to watch, but suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound.
"Is there really any paranormal event?"
Long Xiao thought of this, and just wanted to push the door in, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the direction of the sound was coming here.
With such a dilapidated yard, who would come here?
Long Xiao hurriedly squatted in the artemisia grass and remained motionless, so that his stealth effect would not be discovered.
Sure enough, footsteps came to the door, then stopped, pushed the door in.
It was none other than the city lord pretended to be the big rat.
I saw that the city lord came sneakily and quietly, and gently closed the gate of the courtyard.
If Long Xiao hadn't seen the scene where he took off his human skin before, he had obviously been deceived by him. But now it seems that it is no different from that formation, and the more you understand his essence, the more wrong he becomes.
Its figure flew into the house with a whoosh, a speed that was almost faster than a normal NPC street. Long Xiao hurriedly followed, and when he pushed the door in, there was already an underground passage in the dilapidated firewood house that opened the door on the ground.
The sound of whimpering became clearer and clearer, and Long Xiao gently looked inside.
I saw a man with a blood-red body wrapped in a layer of red-dyed linen trapped in the room, and the big mouse was talking about something.
Seeing this, Long Xiao hurriedly retreated, he still remembered that he couldn't startle the snake now.
Now all the tasks are connected.
This red bloody man should be the city lord who was brutally treated.
The castle lord in human skin quickly finished speaking and walked out and disappeared into the small courtyard. Long Xiao hurriedly flew down and came to the front of the blood man.
Although the bloody man was tightly wrapped in linen, Long Xiao still knew that the people inside were skinless, and as long as he imagined it, he felt chills all over his body.
However, in order to verify the identity of the city lord, Long Xiao took out the black scales.
Sure enough, before he could speak, the bloody man whined excitedly and began to tremble.
Looks like you've found the right person!
Just when Long Xiao was excitedly trying to rescue him, suddenly a puff of green smoke burst out, and Long Xiao's body instantly became soft, and his limbs fell to the ground weakly.
"Bang!"
Long Xiao fell to the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust, and his body had an additional attribute of "imprisonment", unable to move.
Lying on the ground and looking up, I saw the big mouse coming back and forth, with a hideous face.
"Giggles, I'll just say someone has been investigating me lately. Who the hell sent you guy? ”
"You've been discovered by the fake city lord, and you can try to point out its flaws and prove its identity. Otherwise, the task will fail. ”
Sure enough, those small tasks that Long Xiao did at this time came in handy. If it weren't for his wit at the time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to verify the identity of the big rat at this time.
"Hmph, a rat spirit, and still wants to become the city lord, how can Wuyue City be controlled by a spirit like you?"
The fake city lord had a hideous face and said angrily: "Who said I was a fake!" ”
"You have used taxes to blackmail the widows of the city, and you have forbidden the use of rat poison in the city...... He also skinned the real city lord and imprisoned him here. I have seen with my own eyes that you have put on the skin of the lord of the city. Isn't that evidence enough? ”
Although Long Xiao's body was imprisoned, every time he said a piece of evidence, the task supplies in his backpack would jump out and be placed in front of him.
"You, you, you investigate me!"
The big rat was always a little panicked, and it was even more terrifying to look at Long Xiao's face.
"In that case, then I can't let you out alive. Die here today! ”
The big rat was annoyed, picked up the hammer next to him, and smashed it straight at Long Xiao.
Long Xiao was annoyed, but now his body was weak and he couldn't resist.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the back of the big mouse, and a bloody figure appeared. I saw that he was holding a large number of iron chains in his hands, twisted into a huge iron lump, and smashed directly on the head of the fake city lord.
"Bang!"
A splash of blood splattered everywhere, and Long Xiao survived, and the hammer of the big rat spirit fell to the ground against his ear. And the false city lord had fallen to the ground, blood streaming from his head.
The true lord of the castle, whose body was draped in a blood-stained shirt, appeared. He used all his strength to save Long Xiao and took the opportunity to kill the culprit.
However, the moment he smashed the big rat to death, Long Xiao appeared with a dizzy attribute and was directly forced to teleport out by the system.
It was dark in front of him, and there was an extra line of small words "in an hour".
Well, that's kind of player protection, right?
The picture is too bloody to watch.
When Long Xiao "woke up", he was already in the city lord's bedroom.
In front of him, a man in a white shirt and a man in a black shirt were chatting, and they would laugh when they were happy.
Hearing Long Xiao's voice, the two turned their heads, and the man in white exclaimed, "These mages, you have finally woken up!" ”
This white-shirted man is none other than the city lord of Wuyue City.
Now it seems that even if the appearance is the same, the people inside are different, and the mannerisms and conversations are very different. It looks much more pleasing to the eye anyway.
"Thanks to your help, I can finally get back here and get everything I have."
Long Xiao looked at the black-shirted man next to him again, his face was very delicate, but there was a red dot in the center of his eyebrows, which looked charming.
"Giggles, why are you looking at me like that, I'm the guardian spirit of the Black Snake Clan. After rescuing the city lord, he regained his strength, and mobilized the power of Wuyue City to destroy that formation, and our people were also released. I can also take on human form. ”
"You're a good match!"
Long Xiao suddenly spit out, but seeing that the city lord and the black snake were still smiling, he was actually very happy with Long Xiao's "compliment".
You're happy! Obviously a good friend! That black scale must be a token of love!
"As a thank you for your kindness to us, these gifts are a token of my heart."
Long Xiao looked at the eyebrows between the city lord and the black snake spirit for a long time, and finally got to the point.
"Someone, bring me the gift I prepared!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Long Xiao's ears also heard the sound of the system's prompt.
"Congratulations on completing the hidden chain of quests, true and false city lords."
"Congratulations on completing the hidden serial quest to save the Black Snake Clan."
"Congratulations on gaining 10,000 prestige in Wuyue City, 10,000 congratulations on gaining 10,000 favorability of the Black Snake Clan, congratulations on winning the title, the savior of the Black Snake Clan, and the benefactor of the Lord of Wuyue City."
These are all task rewards determined by the system, as well as a large wave of experience and money, and the jingle sound is pleasant, but Long Xiao has no intention of checking it.
Instead, he fixed his eyes on the pile of things that the city lord had sent to bring them.
Three gift boxes are arranged in a row, each beautifully packaged.
"Warrior, this is my private collection, and in return, please accept it."
Of course, Long Xiao will not be polite, this is the result of a whole day of tossing.
When I opened the first box, it was a medal, and it didn't seem like anything strange.
The second gift box, which is a seal in the shape of a mountain, is also incomprehensible.
And the last gift box, Long Xiao understood it. It was a piece of paper, but on top of it was the shape of a house. That is, title deeds.
"Let me explain it to Master Mage."
"This medal is the high-level VIP medal of the Life Profession Association that I will build in the city in the future. With this thing, you can find the best experts in the Life Profession Association of Gogaku City to make things for you, and you can put half of the amount of the account on my head. In other words, with this medal, you can trade with the city's life technicians with a 50% discount. They won't refuse to serve you either. ”
"This seal is powerful, it is a talisman that represents the power of our Wuyue City. As long as you use the medal, you can mobilize 1,000 soldiers in Wuyue City within 500 meters inside the city and outside the city. Full level. ”
"The last title deed is my private collection. A hut located outside the teleportation array of Wuyue City. If Master Mage doesn't dislike it, I'll give it to you. Moreover, because there are no outsiders in Wuyue City now, as the first outsider to reach 10,000 prestige, benefactors, you can also buy a set of shops and residences with a 50% discount in Wuyue City at will. ”
"Unlike other cities, you can have your own residence. How's that, benefactor, is there any interest? ”
The first two rewards made Long Xiao very excited. Because there are some things that can only be crafted by some high-level NPCs. Moreover, the prices are generally extremely expensive.
This 50% discount is simply a reward that makes Long Xiao very comfortable, a permanent discount card!
In addition, the talisman actually has little effect. The range of 500 meters in Wuyue City is full of mountain cliffs and high altitudes, what's the use! At most, I can pretend to be face in the city, you see, I can mobilize NPCs!
But, again, what is the use of wood.
And in the end, how does Long Xiao look like he is selling a house?
When he goes shopping in reality, he is often pulled by some young and beautiful girls to look at real estate models and advertisements, how does the city lord feel now.
Could it be that there are so many properties in Wuyue City that they can't be sold?
Although it was a five-fold fold, the smile on the face of Sven, the city lord of Wuyue City, always gave Long Xiao a creepy feeling.
Is this girl trying to hack me?
Or do you want to pit my money?
I've saved you!
But...... He still found the gimmick. Long Xiao was very interested in this thing.
"Then Lord Castle, can I go and see the little shop you said gave me? Then make a plan about buying a home. ”
Hold on, you can't be hacked by an NPC!
The city lord was still smiling sweetly, and he actually pulled the black snake spirit next to him, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." So, let's go shopping! ”
Let's go shopping, let's go shopping...... Shop your sister!
Long Xiao suddenly rose a little bit, this girl can't also be a personal control NPC!
