Chapter 108: Three Reasons
After making some efforts to compensate the old mayor's vegetable garden, Nanyan and his party were finally able to enter the house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Farina's casually revealed hand just now has largely attracted the attention of the old mayor He, and during the period of leading everyone into the house, the old mayor will look at Falina with some kind of expectant eyes from time to time, as if he regards her as a savior.
Ice spells! This is the nemesis of the fire beast!
And her spells are so powerful that she's never seen them before, and if it were her, she might be able to fight with that damn fire dragon!
After welcoming everyone into the hall, the old mayor arranged for everyone to sit around a round table, and he went to the kitchen to make tea, and while boiling water, the old mayor went into the inner room to help his wife out, and met the guests.
Not long after, in the process of drinking tea and chatting, Nanyan learned the whole thing from the old mayor again.
ββ¦β¦ The first to disappear is our daughter, in July, she will just turn sixteen years old at the beginning of spring next year, and she is going to have a coming-of-age ceremony......" Speaking of his only little daughter, the old mayor was sad, and the old woman on the side had already wiped her tears.
In this bleak atmosphere, Nan Yan asked a question very inappropriately, "That, a rude question, old mayor, how do you think she is almost fifty or sixty years old, why is her daughter only fifteen or sixteen years old?" Could it be late birth and late childbearing? β
"Oh, I forgot to explain." The old mayor sighed again, "That child was not born to me and my insider, and I am ashamed to say that I have been married to my insider for decades, but I have no children under my knees...... I thought to myself, maybe we have never had the opportunity to raise a child in this life, ten years ago, we accidentally found the child in our yard. β
Next, Mayor He told everything about the original incident.
One morning ten years ago, when Mrs. He was washing her clothes and preparing to go to the backyard to dry, she found a little girl of four or five years old lying in the grass in the yard.
The little girl has fiery red hair, which is very eye-catching, and her appearance is extremely cute.
Originally, the old mayor was going to report the matter to the government, and handed the little girl over to the government to help find out her family history so that she could be returned to her parents.
However, the mayor's wife and the little girl hit it off at first sight, and when the little girl woke up, she followed Mrs. Ho, and she seemed very timid, and behaved like a fledgling that had just come out of the shell to see its mother.
Under the persuasion of his wife, the mayor had no choice but to hide the matter, and since then, the He family has had a baby daughter.
It was the beginning of July, and in honor of their encounter with their daughter, the couple named her He Qiyue.
Because the mayor and his wife have been unable to have children, they finally picked up a baby daughter, so they naturally pampered her as a pearl in their palms.
Under the careful care of the two of them, the little girl gradually grew into a big girl, and soon she will have a coming-of-age ceremony.
At this moment, after a night of thunderstorms, July, who had been by the couple's side, suddenly disappeared.
The mayor mobilized the whole town to search, but found nothing.
Soon after, the children of the town disappeared one after another.
It wasn't until the birth of the fire dragon beast a few days ago that many children's belongings and torsos were found in the crater, so the children's death was confirmed.
But among these relics, there are no items from July, and the old mayor and his wife have always had a glimmer of hope.
"I believe that she is still alive in July, she is such a clever child, she will be fine......" Mrs. He choked up and began to wipe her tears again.
"Hey! O iniquity! The old mayor patted the table, "Ever since you disappeared in July, you have not thought about it and made your body like this...... If you continue like this, even if you come back safely in July, I'm afraid you're going to fall into trouble! β
The old mayor's expression was helpless, but he was full of love for his wife and worry about his daughter.
β¦β¦
When the mayor and his wife were sad, Nan Yan didn't pay much attention to listening, because the prompt of the system mother happened to sound in his mind.
[Meet the Mayor Quest is completed, and each trumpet will be rewarded with 13,000 experience.] γ
[New mission, help the mayor find his daughter in July, and after completion, reward 100,000 experience.] γ
[New mission, explore the crater, investigate the disappearance of children, and the task rewards 13,000 experience.] γ
[New mission, kill the Red Crystal Fire Dragon Beast, complete the Huotan Town dungeon, and clear the customs to reward 500,000 experience.] γ
A series of task prompts sounded in his mind, which made Nan Yan busy coping, so for a while, he seemed a little distracted.
"Your name is Qiannanyan, right, you introduced it just now...... Can you really help us get rid of that vicious dragon? Find my daughter? β
The mayor saw that Nanyan was a little absent-minded, so he turned his hopeful eyes to Farina.
"We'll find a way to deal with the dragon beast, but your daughter...... I can't guarantee that...... But we'll do our best not to give up hope! Seeing that Mayor He had been looking at her, Falina had to step forward and respond, and at the same time said secretly in her heart: "Hey, that's the way it is, maybe this girl named July has been killed...... It's a shame though......"
"I know that if you can get rid of this fire dragon beast, it will be regarded as eliminating a great scourge for Huotan Town and the nearby villagers! I will thank you for the villagers! β
"It's not enough to just thank you." Nan Yan suddenly came back to his senses, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his fingers circled in the air and said, "If we succeed in subduing the Fire Dragon Beast, I will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins!" β
"You...... You! 1. 10,000 gold is not a small amount...... Where do I go to raise money in the short term? The mayor was dumbfounded.
"I don't care about that, anyway, this is already our lowest price! Then please prepare 10,000 gold coins and wait for our good news~ Hahahaha......"
Dropping these words, Nan Yan walked away with five beautiful eyebrows.
It's like a creditor who has come to collect a debt.
After leaving the mayor's house, the priest's sister looked puzzled, "Master, we shouldn't be so short of money, why do we force the villagers to give money?" β
Hearing the same topic of interest, the other four girls also turned their heads and waited curiously for Nan Yan's answer.
"Well, there are three reasons."
"Oh? Would you like to hear more? The little aunt on the side also blinked her eyes curiously.
"First, you'll drop gold coins when you farm dungeons! But I'm afraid the boss monster we're going to fight later won't be able to drop gold coins, so this wool has to be plucked from the sheep! β
"Wow! I see! "Priest girl, blood elf girl, undead girl understand in seconds.
Only Aya'er and her little aunt were left messy in the wind.
What is a dungeon? What is a boss monster?
The two women kept chewing on the new word.
"Second, now the villagers are mostly uneasy, in view of the failure of the previous three encirclement and suppression, the morale is bound to be very low, we must appropriately use economic means to oppress them and restore their morale, in addition, I don't want to sell a favor to the residents here on this matter, write it off with money, presumably they are also willing."
"Master, I don't understand, huh?" The priest's sister looked confused.
The little demon girl of Aya'er rolled her eyes, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, "Brother Nanyan means this?" If we don't get any reward, we help the villagers destroy the fire dragon, and the villagers will worship us as heroes, which will inevitably cause a big commotion. On the other hand, if we were paid, the villagers would just take it for granted, and naturally it wouldn't cause any trouble......
"Well, those who know me, Aya'er." Nan Yan learned Zhuge Liang to stroke his beard, even though he didn't have a beard.
"And what is the third one?" After listening to Aya'er's explanation, the little aunt on the side asked as if she didn't understand.
Nan Yan smiled mysteriously and replied:
"This third, naturally, is for the old mayor and his wife, now they are full of thoughts about their daughter's July, if they are busy preparing for the payment at this time, will they have to think less about their daughter's affairs, so as to recover their spirits?"
"That's ......" Little Aunt Chihiro nodded, "You didn't see it just now, the mayor wants to eat your heart, at this moment, I'm afraid I have a headache How to get together the 10,000 gold coins, after all, the words have been released...... Little Nannan, you are so cunning! β
"Where, where, I call it wit. Ho Ho Ho Ho ......"
Nan Yan was about to learn from Mr. Zhuge to make a lupine scarf, but was interrupted by the priest's sister.
"So, master, where are we going now? Do you want to go directly to the Flaming Mountain to find a fire dragon duel? β
βNONONOοΌ We don't know enough about the Drakemon, and I also have some concerns about the matter of the mayor's daughter, July, so let's stay in the town and investigate it later, and by the way, visit the Hunters' Guild, they seem to be also issuing a mission to gather people to see if they can find help...... After all, there is a lot of power in numbers! β
"I see, worthy of the master!"
"Ho ho ho ho ...... Don't dare to be, don't dare to be ......"
