Ninety-four, accept the mission!
The New Xia Kingdom itself has an official postal department.
In the city there is a post office, in the village and town it is managed by the village mayor and the mayor of the town, in short, if you want to send something, people will generally choose this channel, after all, the official is very reliable.
The first case is that the origin of the item is unknown, and the person who sent it will not dare to send it from the post office, and the second is to send it to a very remote place, which cannot be reached by official mail, such as a place where people live in seclusion like Yanshan.
The task we are encountering now should belong to the third situation......
"What, you don't know where the target is?"
"Ah...... Well. β
When you only know the name of the recipient but don't know the address, you can only ask the adventurer, and the postman will not have time to help you find someone who doesn't matter.
The bounty slip reads:
"Please help me deliver an item to someone in the city, interview with the details, difficulty level C, reward 2 gold coins. Client: Shi Lan. β
"Miss Shi Lan, you don't know where the person is, how to send it? If you're looking for someone who knows your goal, it's best to make it clear in your mission statement, otherwise it's easy for others to overlook. "Ningmeng seems to be very experienced.
"Actually, I guess...... No one knows where she is, and those who know will certainly not accept this task. β
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, I was also entrusted by someone else, saying that if I saw her, I would give her that thing, but after I inquired around, I found that things were not simple, so now I need the help of some people with strong investigative skills......," Shi Lan said helplessly.
"Why do you need to be investigative?"
"After all, I'm from the capital, and I don't know the place here, and if I want to find someone who is hidden, I definitely can't do it myself."
"Hidden?" Ningmeng and I looked at each other.
"What are you going to give? Is it important? Drift asked suddenly.
"It's not important, it's just a craft, a wooden cow. An old woman I know lives here and she asked me to give this thing away......"
"Wooden Cow!" Luo Fei cried out.
Sometimes it's just that coincidental.
"Is the person you want to send called...... Mu Shi? β
"Huh? Do you know her? Shi Lan suddenly stood up vigilantly, "No, only the Mu family should know about her, didn't you just say that you are from other places?" β
Don't you know that, too?
"Don't get excited, Miss Shilan, we also received a commission from someone this morning to let us rescue Mu Shi."
"Sister Shi Lan, let's exchange information, since the goal is the same, we should cooperate!"
"Hmm...... Well, too, the Mu family doesn't have such a young adventurer. Let me tell you a little bit about the reason for this commission. Shi Lan's brows relaxed, and she sat down in her seat again.
"Okay!"
-- The Dividing Line of Storytelling --
It all started with the old man Shi Lan knew. The old man had an agreement with Mu Shi, and Mu Shi took care of her every day from morning to afternoon for half a month, and she could get the wooden cow from the old man's house as a reward.
But on the last day of the agreed time, Mu Shi suddenly didn't come back. Although the old man was very puzzled, he could only give up.
It wasn't until about a month later that Shi Lan visited the old man, and the old man remembered this incident again, so he entrusted Shi Lan to hand over the wooden cow to Mu Shi. The old man also knew that Mu Shi needed it.
However, when she arrived at Mu's house, Shi Lan was told that Mu Shi was locked up and could not see outsiders. Shi Lan was about to leave, when a servant secretly revealed a message to her: Mu Shi was not there at all, but was placed elsewhere.
Shi Lan sensed that something was wrong with the Mu family, so she planned to recruit some people to investigate. If you want to ask why she, a person who has nothing to do with her, cares so much about this-
"Because I'm curious!"
- That's how Shi Lan replied.
After that, we also briefly explained the two conflicts outside the city and when we entered the city, and told Shi Lan about the request that Qingyan asked us, but we still chose to keep it a secret about Qingyan returning to the city with us.
"Let's talk about what you are capable of! Or are there any other people in your group who are awesome? Shi Lan asked.
"If you want to talk about ability, then we all have special skills!" I said it without shame.
"Oh? Hehe, little sister, what will you do? β
"I'll sneak, Sister Shi Lan, don't you need someone who can help you investigate clues? I'm just the right fit! β
"Really?" Shi Lan seemed surprised, but then said with some concern, "But is it okay?" You're a little girl, what if something happens to you? β
"Uh-huh...... Sister, do you say that because you don't believe in my ability? β
"Well, I'm just worried about ......"
Shi Lan hesitated for a moment before speaking, obviously not believing.
"Be reasonable, senior brother, do you think I'm the best scout in Yanshan?"
"Yes!" The senior brother replied without hesitation.
"Ahh Shi Lan exclaimed incredulously.
"Yanshan is just a scout for you!"
"Poof-" Ning Meng and Shi Lan laughed together.
"Don't say anything superfluous, stupid!" I angrily pushed Luo Fei out of his seat, turned back to Shi Lan and continued, "Although I am the only one, I have also fought against bandits, killed robbers, and walked around the goblin tribe without being discovered!" Anyway, it's qualified, right? β
"That's pretty impressive."
"Of course! And then there's this Drifter-chan, she's pretty good in mind, and if enough clues are given to her, she'll be able to reason for the right answer! β
"My sister feels very well-behaved and smart at first glance."
"And then there's the big brother, who, as you can see, is very fleshy, but there should be nothing in this mission...... Use. β
After a moment's hesitation, I think it's better to be civilized.
"How useless am I! If I had to break in, I could knock them all over! Luo Fei called out unconvinced.
"Finally, there is Lemon Dream...... Eh, Ningmeng, what are you capable of, I don't know yet. β
"I--I really don't have anything I can do except for the strength that is close to the peak of the fourth order, I think about it......" Ning Meng squinted her eyes and nodded her head, "Sister Tianxiang, I can bless you!" β
"Okay......" I remembered the lemon dream that had slumped on me at the time and looked so "pitiful".
"Then I'll hand over the task to you, speaking of which, have you registered your identity as an adventurer in the guild?"
"Registration?"
"You're all newcomers...... Newcomers cannot directly accept C-level missions, and must complete 5 D-level missions first. Not...... Otherwise, I'll pull out the mission, and we'll work together privately. β
"No way!" I shouted with Ningmeng.
"Huh?"
"It's rare to have an adventure guild, I'm going to do a mission!" I'm spoiled.
"Hehe, is Sister Tianxiang dreaming of being an adventurer? Are there any adventurers above grade C in your group? Let him accept the task. β
ββββBack to the dividing line of the innββββ
"How can I say that you disappeared suddenly, and actually sneaked to the adventure guild and took such a mission...... Chi Ji said with a smile, "It's a shame that you can receive the task of finding Mu Shi." β
"That mission is C-level, you need to have a C-level adventurer to lead the team, Sister Qi, Sister Xing'er, you are so powerful, there must be at least C-level, right?"
"Unfortunately, I'm not an adventurer." Chi Ji shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I'm notβ" Master asked, looking at Ningmeng, "Didn't you propose to do the mission?" You should have experience with missions, right? β
"Uh...... I forgot one thing at the time, 'Ningshi' is a C-class adventurer, I am not. β
Even if Ningmeng had done a mission before, she had registered as a male with Ningshi, and now the guild would certainly not recognize her.
"So, there isn't a single adventurer among us?" I said bitterly.
At this time, a mysterious and confident voice sounded in our ears like a savior.
"Hey, did you forget something?"
This voice is-!
"It's not the age to venture everywhere, but it's still okay to take on a C-level mission."
Chi Rui was holding a glittering badge in his hand, and when he looked at it, it was a certificate of an A-class adventurer!
"Ahhh Aunt Chi Rui, I finally think you're a little useful! I praised excitedly.
"Hey, was I a bastard before?"
"Hmm!"
"Don't hesitate to say yes!"
I looked behind Chi Rui and suddenly noticed that the light words sitting in the corner were a little lonely.
"Sister Qingyan, why are you unhappy?"
"Everyone is acting for the little poem, but I can only hide here...... I want to do something too! β
"But Mu Xiang also said just now, you will definitely be recognized as soon as you go out." Chi Ji said.
"I also saw the bounty quest to find Sister Qingyan in the Adventure Guild." Ningmeng also said.
"Hey......"
Looking at Qingyan's sad appearance, I couldn't help asking, "Sister Qingyan, what did you look like before you turned 18?" β
