Chapter 093 - Old Past
Located on the shore of the East China Sea, the small fishing town is the most eastern fishing town on the map of China. The style of painting here is simple, with tiled houses, thatched houses, boats, the sea, and the wharf...... Every scenery reflects the style of a seaside town.
Qin Haonan first walked around the town and looked at the surrounding environment. The small fishing town is a level 60 town map, and the player's missions are basically level 60. At this point, there are only NPCs on the streets, not a single player. Qin Haonan tried to talk to the NPCs on the road, but due to the lack of level, he couldn't trigger any quests, and could only listen to some ordinary conversations.
Many of the NPCs' conversations revolve around the woods to the north of the town, shrouded in a large area of fog.
"Young man, let me tell you, there used to be a large lush forest in the north of our town, and the fruit in the forest is said to be fairy fruit, and eating one can lead to immortality."
"I used to go to the woods to the north to collect herbs, and I heard from the elders that there was an immortal living in that forest, and he guarded our town."
"I don't know what happened, 10 years ago there was a fog in the woods, and since then, all the entrances to the forest have been sealed, and if you force your way in, you will only get lost in the fog and never be able to leave."
"I heard that the owner of the 'Baicaoju Pharmacy' used to go to the forest to collect medicine when he was young, and he also said that the forest was a 'sacred place of sacred trees'."
……
There was no ordinary task suitable for Qin Haonan here, he listened to the dialogue of the NPC, and according to what was said on the forum, he began to look for the "Baicaoju Pharmacy". Qin Haonan walked around, and finally found this store on a commercial street in the north of the town.
Qin Haonan took the "Shenmu Order" in his hand at this time and looked at it carefully.
The [Order of the Divine Tree] quest item, a token made from the branches of the Divine Tree, has a magical effect. It is the key to unlocking the sacred land of the sacred tree.
After entering the store, Qin Haonan found that there was only one child in the store who was sorting out the herbs, looked around, and asked, "Hello, do you want to ask your boss in the store?" ”
Xiao Tong stopped what he was doing and said, "There are usually no customers in the store, the boss takes care of the herbs in the medicine field in the back, what medicine do the guests want to buy, just look for me." ”
"Thanks, but I have something to do with your boss." Qin Haonan said firmly.
Xiao Tong looked at Qin Haonan again, a little embarrassed, but finally nodded in agreement. "Guest, wait a minute, I'll help you call the boss."
After a while, a gray-haired old man walked in from the back door of the pharmacy, he looked at Qin Haonan, and said with a smile: "Hello this guest, I just heard what my little boy said, I don't know if you have anything to look for me?" ”
"Hello boss, I heard from the townsfolk in the town that you used to go to the 'Sacred Wood Sacred Land' in the north of the town. I just want to ask you if there is a way to enter now. ”
"How did this little brother know about the 'Divine Wood Holy Land'? What are you going to do there? The gray-haired old man's expression instantly became extremely serious.
"To tell you the truth, I accidentally got a 'token', and it was because of this token that I came here."
The gray-haired old man was startled, and hurriedly said, "What token, can you show it to me?" ”
Qin Haonan did not hesitate to hand over the "Shenmu Order".
The gray-haired old man held the "Shenmu Order", as if he saw a treasure, and his eyes revealed a feeling of nostalgia.
He silently bowed his head in contemplation, and then said, "When I was young, I often went with my brother to the outskirts of the forest north of the town to collect medicines, and the medicines produced there were all of the best products. As time passed, we became more and more familiar with the forest, and we forgot the lesson of the older generation not to go deep into the depths of the forest. ”
Qin Haonan knew that the old man was going to tell the story of the "Divine Wood Holy Land", and it was difficult to interrupt for a while. So he listened quietly.
"That time, my brother and I went into the deepest part of the forest. Found in the innermost part of it, there was a huge ancient god tree. Next to the tree stands a stone tablet with the four characters 'Sacred Wood Holy Land' engraved on it. The fruit of the tree was very attractive, and a god lived on the tree. We had heard that there was a god living in the depths of the woods, and we were convinced that this legend was true. ”
The gray-haired old man paused and continued, "That fairy seems to have been injured and has always been weak, but he is very kind and has taught us a lot of pharmacological knowledge. My brother and I often went there to look for him, until one day, the fairy's injuries were getting worse and worse, and he couldn't get better. He told us not to go into the woods again, for we might be in danger. He drove us out, and the next morning there was a fog in the woods. The mist was poisonous, blocking all entrances to the woods. ”
"Boss, what about later? Lin Zi really can't get in, what happened to that fairy? The little boy next to him asked curiously.
"Don't worry, listen to me. My brother and I couldn't rest assured that the immortal, so we tried a lot of methods, but we couldn't get in. After many inquiries, I learned from a wandering monk that if you want to enter this forest, you must have a magic weapon with wind attributes, and cooperate with the 'Divine Wood Order' to disperse the poisonous mist. ”
Qin Haonan knew that this had already gotten to the point.
"Since then, my brother and I have been searching for these two treasures. The magic weapon of the wind attribute is easier to find, but this 'Divine Wood Order' is said to be a token made from the branches of the Divine Tree, which can purify toxins. Once the decontamination is complete, the token will also be scrapped. Later, my brother left the country to inquire about the whereabouts of the 'Shenmu Order', and I stayed here to maintain the family's pharmacy until he returned. Who thinks that it will be ten years in a flash, I didn't wait for my brother's return, but what I waited for was his death. I thought that I would not be able to enter the 'Divine Wood Holy Land' in my lifetime, and I didn't want to ...... today," the gray-haired old man said with some sadness.
Qin Haonan hurriedly comforted: "Boss, the matter has come to this, don't be too sad and hurt your body." ”
"It's okay, I just saw the 'Shenmu Order' and felt a little excited. This little brother, I'm a little old, and my legs and feet are a little inconvenient, can you please help me? The gray-haired old man said with some urgency.
"Boss, please."
"I have here a handful of the wind attribute magic weapon 'Ling Fan' that I found before, and I will give him to you. You take it and the 'Divine Wood Order', dispel the poisonous mist, go to the deepest part of the Divine Wood Holy Land, and help me see if the immortal is still there." Whatever the outcome, I'd like to hear a reply. ”
"Okay, I promise you."
"System prompt: Floating like a dream, you have triggered the 'Sacred Wood Holy Land Mission', which requires you to dispel the poisonous mist, go to the depths of the dense forest to explore, and reply to the pharmacy owner. Rewards: Experience points +50,000, 2 purple gold coins, and a magic weapon 'Ling Fan'. ”
"Ding Dong ~ System Prompt: You get the magic weapon 'Ling Fan'."
Qin Haonan looked at the "Ling Fan" in his hand, at this time it was displayed as a task item, and it seemed that he would have to wait until the task was completed before he could become his magic weapon.
"Little brother, this 'Divine Wood Holy Land' is a leveling area above level 60, your level is not enough, and you can only go to level 60. That map might be a bit sinister right now, so you'd better bring your buddies with you to have a better chance of winning. The gray-haired old man looked at Qin Haonan and kindly reminded.
"Thanks boss, I see." Qin Haonan said.
Qin Haonan said goodbye to the owner of the pharmacy and left the small fishing town. He was the first to come to the entrance of the "Sacred Tree Holy Land", stood outside the white mist, and observed for a while.
