"System prompt: Player 'Riel Oland' triggers the system quest 'Lost Girl', do you accept it? [Yes/No]"
β¦β¦ What the hell!!
This sudden sound made the corners of Zhu Lin's mouth twitch unconsciously, and he decided to take a look at the situation first, and at that moment, he also quietly said to Safili who stopped him.
"Anything else?"
Safiri, who had already made up her mind, was unambiguous, and spoke very boldly.
"Well, I accidentally got separated from my companions, and for some special reason I had to find them immediately, so I hope I can get your help, I ...... Be willing to pay enough to ask you for your help! β
The girl's voice fell, and Zhu Lin also quickly turned out the system options in his heart, and sure enough, as imagined, the originally dim and unselectable "task" option has now become a "selectable" state, and after clicking on it, there is only one task information in it.
Mission "Lost Girl"
Description: Meet Safili Ferrom, a lost girl who has been separated from her companions, and help her find her lost companions.
Reward: Free Talent Point x1.
The task itself is simple and straightforward, but the reward of the task is to see Zhu Lin's unconsciously heartbeat accelerate, and it is actually a free talent point!
To know that Lu Dao until now, Zhu Lin didn't know how to get talent points stably, and he started it once when he cleared the special dungeon before, but this is only one time after all, and there is no way to be 100% sure that he will be able to get free talent points after clearing the special dungeon.
Under this premise, every talent point becomes very valuable, and if possible, the talent points you see must be fought for with all your might.
Of course, after a moment of enthusiasm, Zhu Lin quickly calmed down and began to analyze the difficulty of the task, first of all, the main goal of this task is only one, which is to help the girl in front of her, who should be called Safilie, find her lost companion, with the strength of the magician, although this kind of thing will be a little troublesome, but there is no danger.
If the task of brushing out this time is to single-handedly pick up an HR4 monster, Zhu Lin will definitely turn around and leave without saying a word, this is purely an act of looking for death, no matter how good the reward is, he will definitely not take it.
But in the current situation, it is only a waste of his time to complete this task, and he can get a little free talent points at the cost of a little time, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
So, Zhu Lin, who pondered for a moment, decisively raised his hand and clicked the [Yes] option.
"So, let's talk about what kind of reward you can come up with......
Of course, the reward given by the task is enough to satisfy Zhu Lin, but the benefits are naturally not too few, and Zhu Lin and Safili are not related, if he directly does not want the slightest benefit and is enthusiastic to help, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party......
β¦β¦ Although Zhu Lin was very concerned about whether the girl who didn't seem to have a very good head could think of this
Safili originally just asked with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, but she didn't expect to really get a response, and after a slight stumble, she quickly raised her hand and patted her chest.
"Well, if you can take me to my lost companions, I'm willing to ...... You'll be paid five gold coins! β
Five gold coins, you must know that in this continent where the basic currency is settled with silver coins, gold coins are very expensive currency, such as Moloro Village in remote mountain villages, the basic currency in circulation is copper one level lower than silver coins, and many villagers are afraid that they have never seen a real gold coin in their lives.
And Safili's reward as soon as she opened her mouth was five gold coins, and this generous shot was also an accident, and her identity was not very simple.
Of course, no matter what Safiri's identity is, it has nothing to do with Zhu Lin, he only knows that Lu Dao has started a big fish this time, not only can he start with a little free talent point, but he can also get an extra income of five gold coins, you must know that although Lu Dao is a very noble profession, the speed of making money is abnormal, but the speed at which they spend money is also amazing, Zhu Lin has traveled for two months, and he has not started a single copper at all, and the original owner of his body is also a poor ghost, There are only three gold coins in his pocket (although this is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and Zhu Lin also has a Barolph Abyss Coin that he sells for enough money to spend until he dies, although he definitely won't sell it).
So, Zhu Lin took over this additional business very happily.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Safili was also happy, and with the help of a magician, she would not have to wander around the forest like a headless fly.
After the excitement, Safili also remembered that she didn't seem to have introduced herself yet (although Zhu Lin had already known her name through the system task), and immediately spoke.
"Well, my name is Safiri, well, Safili Ferom."
As a basic courtesy, of course, Zhu Lin responded immediately, but he still struggled with which name to pronounce, and after the last word, he still made a decisive choice.
"Riel ...... Riel Olland, that's my name. β
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
"Miss Ferrome, are you really sure that your companion is still in this forest?"
After about an hour of trekking, Zhu Lin, who had no gain, couldn't help but ask questions to the girl beside him, after all, no one stipulated that the girl's companions would definitely stay in this forest and wait for her to find it, maybe they had already left the forest early in the morning, planning to wait for the girl to meet in the nearest city.
At this, Sapphiri immediately shook her head seriously.
"How is that possible, my protector...... Ahem, my companions can't have left me alone, they must still be in the forest, absolutely! β
Seeing the girl's sworn appearance and the slip of the tongue just now, Zhu Lin also secretly reached out and touched his chin, he probably guessed the identity of this girl, and at the same time, he suddenly had a little bad premonition in his heart.
"If that's the case, let's use some unconventional means......"
The magician relies on the search network intertwined with magic power, which can be very effective in retrieving in a large area, and this retrieval can be selected to select the retrieval conditions, of course, Zhu Lin has locked the target of the search on the top of the "creature" before, but at this moment, he has a little bad premonition in his heart, and decisively changes the way of retrieval.
Condensed one-third of the magic power and then released it in one breath, and in an instant, a stream of magic power in the dense forest could not be identified by the naked eye, but the amazing quality of the magic torrent spread out in all directions with Zhu Lin as the center, this process lasted about two or three seconds, and after the magic power fluctuations were completely annihilated, Zhu Lin, who finally noticed the target, couldn't help but become subtle.
"I guess I've found your companion......"
"Really? Thank you so much! β
Looking at the happy look of the girl beside him, Zhu Lin didn't know how to tell her what he noticed, sure enough, let the girl see it with her own eyes, thinking of this, Zhu Lin raised his hand and made a gesture of "keep up", and then walked straight towards the depths of the dense forest, of course Safili didn't think about anything, and followed quickly.
"If my guess is correct, then these are your companions......"
With that, Zhu Lin raised his hand and pointed to the three male corpses wearing the same style uniform under the shade of a tree not far away.
These three corpses must have been dead for some time, and there was a penetrating wound on their chests that was deep into their internal organs, obviously, this was a fatal wound, viscous blood gushed out from the wound on their chest, and coagulated into a large dark red strange pattern under their bodies, and the violent stench of the corpses could be smelled from a long distance.
βοΌβ
Seeing this scene, Safili exclaimed on the spot, and didn't care that the corpse had begun to rot and stink, so she rushed straight up, Zhu Lin didn't stop her, but reluctantly called up her taskbar.
Sure enough, after the quest "Lost Girl", the original prompt of "Mission Acceptance" has become "Mission Failed"!
The specific content was called, and the top prompt was that because the target person died, it was judged that the task could not be completed, but I don't know why, although the task was shown to be a failure, but it did not disappear, although Zhu Lin was confused, but after all, it was the first time to take the task, and he had never encountered the same situation and could not analyze what was going on.
"Why did it become like this, could it be...... Monsters? β
Sapphiri seems to have identified the three corpses as her lost companions, but she obviously can't accept that her companions who were still alive suddenly become foul-smelling corpses, and after the initial panic, she also began to guess the cause of these people's deaths, and of course, the monsters that roamed the forest immediately became the first suspect.
"No, it shouldn't be a monster......
As he spoke, Zhu Lin walked up to the three corpses, as if he felt that the smell around him was too unappetizing, and he frowned and launched a one-star magic, which summoned a breeze to blow away the stench that lingered around him.
ββ¦β¦ There are usually only two reasons for monsters to attack humans, one is that humans take the initiative to attack monsters, or they step into the nest of monsters, and attack in order to fight back or protect themselves, as for the second reason, it is to hunt humans as food, but I have already investigated around here, and there is no nest of monsters, so the first situation can basically be ruled out, as for the second case"
Sapphiri wasn't stupid, and she figured it out right away.
ββ¦β¦ Well, if it was for food, it wouldn't have left such a complete corpse, damn it, what the hell is going on?! β
Although he said so, in fact, the answer was already coming out, it was not a monster murder, and there was no humanoid race in the vicinity that was hostile to humans, so the most likely possibility could only be to be killed by humans.
Moreover, judging from the wounds of the corpse, it should have been caused by some sharp weapon directly penetrated, which is also very similar to the work of human weapons.
Judging from the fact that the blood has basically coagulated, and the corpse has begun to stink, the three of them have been dead for some time, and Zhu Lin, who was making this judgment, suddenly had a look in his eyes, and he thought of a tiny detail.
(Wait, if you've been dead for some time, why can you leave such a complete corpse?!) There is no shortage of scavenging monsters in the forest, so if they find monsters or human corpses, they should have been eaten and wiped clean in the morning, right...... These people definitely haven't been dead for long! οΌ
Zhu Lin, who noticed that the situation was different, did not dare to slack off, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but he still decided to take a look at the situation first.
"I'm sorry Miss Ferrome, I'm going to be rude to your companions, I'm going to examine their bodies......"
Hearing Zhu Lin say this, Safili's first reaction was to refuse, but when she calmed down and thought of Zhu Lin's identity, and after hearing his serious tone, she silently let go and nodded.
Of course, Zhu Lin will not be polite to her, he has no interest in touching the dead directly, but of course there is no need to be so troublesome with magic in hand, controlling the tentacles of the wind to roll up the corpse, and then penetrating into the corpse with the magic power of circulation, and soon, Zhu Lin found a little strange.
"This is ......"
Zhu Lin, who noticed the abnormality, waved his right hand directly, and a tentacle of the wind immediately passed through the wound on the chest of the rolled up corpse, tearing the wound that had been coagulated by the blood that had been coagulated again, seeing this scene, Safili's face changed again, but she still didn't say anything, but watched Zhu Lin move, and controlled the tentacles of the wind to take out a black fragment about the size of a thumb cap from the wound.
"O, Mr. Olland...... What is this? β
β¦β¦ You ask me, who am I going to ask?
Although Zhu Lin wanted to answer like this, considering that this was too contrary to the erudite image of a magician, he just coughed calmly, and then judged it as much as he could, relying on the poor magical knowledge in his mind and the situation on the scene.
"This should be a fragment of a cursed weapon, it seems that the three people who killed these three people were indeed humans, yes, monsters don't use such things as cursed weapons!"
As soon as the words cursed weapon came out, Safiri's face immediately turned pale......
