Chapter 13: In Search of Bella

"I actually want to know how you became Fatal, and even I, who have dealt with him for so many years, don't see that you are in disguise." After eating a few bites of horse meat, Andre seemed to have some spirits. Once a person has the spirit, he will do a lot of things, for example, now Andre especially wants to find someone to chat, probably because he has been in prison for too long, and he hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, so as long as the environment is relatively safe and the spirit is relaxed, he begins to open the conversation box to the people around him. Regardless of whether this person is a good chat partner or not, in short, the current Andre doesn't want to idle his mouth for a minute, either eating meat or talking.

Ye Ci pulled the corners of her mouth, she didn't want to answer this question at all, Ye Ci didn't want to tell anyone about this secret, of course, this anyone should also include Andre, who had just been rescued by herself. However, in the face of this NPC that is the most important part of her epic mission, she still can't be too perfunctory, or it may affect the progress of the entire mission.

Therefore, Ye Ci groaned slightly, and then said with a smile: "I just said that I am a businessman, and a businessman must have a lot of secrets that cannot be known to others, otherwise, what can I use as a bargaining chip for my business?" ”

"That's right." Although he didn't know the secret as he wished, Andre didn't seem to be much disappointed, he just tilted his head and looked at Ye Ci and nodded thoughtfully.

"I believe Andre, you are a person who does big things, and people who do big things must be informal. In that case, how about making it a secret? Ye Ci said slowly, but there was an irresistible dignity in his voice: "It's your secret and mine, what do you say?" ”

"It's not a big deal, why can't you say it?" Andre is obviously an NPC with a low IQ, and it seems that he didn't understand what Ye Ci meant.

Ye Ci couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, so she said that she didn't like to deal with fools at all. If the person who is talking now is replaced by a shrewd guy like Yueqingqiu or Arsenic Zero, she must have understood what she meant, but when facing this Andre, she can only say more plainly, and then whiter.

"In that case, Andre, you don't mind that people all over the world know that you, a powerful man, can't even walk in the prison in Red Lake City, and you're a soft-footed shrimp?" Ye Ci didn't look at Andre either, just quietly eating horse meat, her movements were graceful and graceful, and she looked like a well-bred nobleman.

As soon as Andrei heard Ye Ci's words, his face immediately turned white. A very arrogant NPC like him actually has a weakness, that is, he doesn't want anyone to know, or sees the weak side, so compared to Andre, this matter must not be told to anyone.

He hurriedly shook his head, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, no, how can I let others know about such a shameful thing, you can't tell anyone"

"I said I was a businessman." Ye Ci narrowed his eyes and looked at Andre again: "We might as well make another deal, right?" ”

"What deal?" Andrei suddenly felt that the female elf in front of him was not kind at all, not only was she not kind, but she was also a very treacherous person. However, this was only a fleeting feeling, because immediately Andrei's entire attention was attracted by Ye Ci's proposal.

Ye Ci didn't speak, but looked at Andre quietly. She felt that she had given too many hints, and if André couldn't even think of this and had to tell him himself, then he would be a real, complete idiot

Fortunately, Andrei just doesn't have a high IQ, he's not an idiot, and he's not a fool with zero EQ, he thought this female elf was really strange at first, so what did he do looking at himself, did he have flowers on his face? He stretched out his hand, wiped his face, and suddenly reacted. He connected the two things that the female elf had just said up and down, and when he thought about it, he understood what this woman was talking about. He laughed, "Oh, I see, you mean, I'm keeping you the secret of how you got me out, and you're keeping the secret of my not so glamorous thing in prison, right?" That's the deal, right? ”

Luckily, this NPC isn't incorrigibly stupid. Ye Ci exhaled a breath, and let go of the stone in her heart, she nodded: "You're right, how about it?" Do you want to make this deal with me. ”

"Of course, don't worry, my Andre's mouth is very strict, you saw it in prison just now, and I didn't let go of that super bastard of Fatar, so I will definitely keep my mouth shut about this little thing." Andre patted his chest and reassured Ye Ci. However, he was quickly still worried about Ye Ci: "I'm very worried about you, will you keep your mouth shut about my affairs?" ”

"As I said, I am a businessman, and the most important quality of a businessman is integrity, so I will never divulge half a word about what I promised you." Ye Ci also swore a guarantee.

"It's good, it's good" Andre relieved himself, as if he felt hungry again, so he lowered his head and nibbled on the horse meat in his hand with a few clicks, but he still felt that he was not enough to eat. He looked at the bonfire that Ye Ci was setting up and there was still a large piece of horse meat roasting on it, and now it was steaming with oil, and his greedy saliva had fallen. But he was not too embarrassed to sit down, so he could only sit there and smell the aroma and keep inhaling and swallowing his saliva.

Ye Ci glanced at Andre with his spare eyes, and then sent out an invitation again: "Come and eat horse meat, it's about to be roasted." ”

"No, no, you've helped me with too many things, I, I'm full." Although Andre is a reckless man, he still has a bit of gentlemanly demeanor in the face of Ye Ci, who is a woman and his life-saving benefactor, although he is still very hungry, he still suppresses those emotions, and waves his hand politely.

Ye Ci still invited him very warmly, and did not give up because of Andre's polite refusal. Because in the face of such an open-ended mission, any conversation you have with an NPC will affect the NPC's mood towards you in the future. Especially an NPC like Andre, although the bandits of the tin and silver veins are only a small branch of the Dolan Thieves Association, since he can be the boss of this branch, he must be a relatively important NPC in the Dolan Thieves Association.

In the face of this kind of NPC, it must be to please, it must be a sycophant, and it must be to try to cultivate their intimacy with themselves. However, these NPCs are endowed with normal human emotions, and if you can please and pat yourself on the back, maybe you won't get the NPC's approval, and it's easy to lose more than you gain. Therefore, in the face of this kind of NPC, in order to improve the intimacy with them, in addition to fulfilling their wishes, the more important thing is to do what they like, not deliberately, and let the intimacy grow very naturally, so as to get the maximum benefit.

"Whether it's in Red Lake City or not, I don't think there will be a good time to eat in prison, you look at the way you look now, if you are seen by Midara and your brothers, it will be very distressing. Sometimes we don't live just for ourselves, so let's eat a little even for your brothers. And this horse is really a bit big, I can't eat it myself, why don't you help me eat it? Ye Ci smiled, sometimes she really felt that she was really suitable to be those lobbyists, because she was already hypocritical enough.

Hearing Ye Ci say this, Andre seemed to have no reason to continue refusing, he looked at Ye Ci and scratched his hair, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It seems that you are also very reasonable, then, I will help you eat a little more." With that, he hurriedly made it to the opposite side of Ye Ci, grabbed the horse meat on the bonfire, smiled at Ye Ci, and then gobbled it into his mouth.

While eating meat like this, Andre did not forget to stretch out a big finger at Ye Ci, and praised without hesitation: "Elf, although you are a person from Red Lake City, you are really a good person, and your cooking skills are also very good, I find that I don't hate you anymore."

When listening to Andre's words, Ye Ci quietly opened Andre's character panel, found his option for his intimacy, and found that the intimacy inside had changed from hatred at the beginning to intimacy, and couldn't help but so, as Andre continued to eat meat, this favorability continued to rise. Ye Ci believes that as long as she quietly curries favor with Andre, her favorability with him will soon reach the level of life and death.

As long as the friendship with Andre reaches the level of life and death, then she can get a lot of benefits in Dolan Thieves in the future. In fact, in the area of prestige, this kind of snobbish prestige often brings more benefits to players, but this prestige is very difficult to rise, even in the previous life, there are very few players who can reach the reputation of these forces above intimacy, and there are only a handful of people who have reached respect.

As for Ye Ci in the previous life, because of his own paranoid personality and excessive pursuit of fame and fortune, there is no force whose prestige has reached more than intimacy, but when I read the post on the forum, I saw some players whose prestige reached intimacy shared their experience and said that there would be various benefits for these forces to reach intimacy or above, but I was very envious.

And Ye Ci in this life is more concerned about enjoying the whole process of the game, so of course, she will not let go of such an opportunity, and it is best to increase her reputation in the Dolan Thieves Association. Andre in front of her is her best opportunity, and she must seize it tightly.

When Andre had almost eaten, she took out a pot of expensive wine from her package and threw it at Andre: "Although you hate the people of Red Lake City, the gin of the One-Eyed Jack's Tavern in Red Lake City is very famous in the Eastern Continent, but I don't know if you hate such fine wine?" ”

"I have always had a clear grudge as a person, although I hate everything in Red Lake City, and I hate the people in Red Lake City, but I don't hate the wine in Red Lake City at all." Andre's face was full of surprise, he obviously didn't expect Ye Ci to prepare such a good gin, he raised his hand and caught the wine jug that Ye Ci threw over, and then immediately opened it, put his nose to the edge of the wine jug, took a deep sip, and then closed his eyes, with a look of intoxication. After a long while, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ci with a smile on his face: "Good wine, I don't hate good wine at all, just like you, I don't hate it at all."

Sure enough, the act of sending wine immediately made Andre's favorability towards Ye Ci rise a lot, although there is still a distance from the friend of life and death, but it is not much. But the only pity is that this method of pleasing and increasing favorability can only greatly improve the favorability when you use it for the first time, but when you want to use it again later, the improved favorability will not be much, but you can still continue to use it, just pay attention, if the same method is used too much, not only will the increase in favorability become slower and less and less, but it will even make NPCs feel annoying, but it will reduce the existing favorability.

Ye Ci didn't bring so much good wine with him, so there was no possibility that this method would be used again. She quietly waited for Andre to be full of wine and food before suggesting to Andrei: "Andre, it's getting late this day, let's go back quickly while it's still early." ”

"I want to get some sleep." Andrei is telling the truth, there is a saying that as long as a person is full of food and drink, plus the spirit is relaxed, it is easy to want to sleep. Now Andrei is exactly like this: "Well, I'll sleep for a while, and we'll go back later." ”

Ye Ci frowned, joke, she doesn't have so much time to eat, drink and sleep with an NPC, she just wants to send Andre back quickly, and then hurry up to get the next step of this epic task, other things, she doesn't have any patience and mood.

However, in the face of an NPC like Andre, she couldn't directly refuse his request, so Ye Ci thought of a good way with a roll of her eyes. She sat down on the stone, looked at Andre, who was about to fall asleep against the stone, and said, "This is a vein of tin and silver, right?" ”

"Yes, tin-silver veins, the sun is best here." Andrei had a smile on his face, leaning against the stone very calmly, and he didn't look like a thief leader at all, but like an ordinary young man.

"However, this is still within the boundaries of Red Lake City."

"Cut, what's wrong with the scope of Red Lake City, I don't care" Andre still closed his eyes, but his nose snorted heavily, and it could be seen that he didn't care about Red Lake City at all.

"So, you must sleep here?" Ye Ci squinted at Andre, looking at his happy and calm face, she suddenly had a feeling of going up to pump him, but she couldn't help it and continued to ask quietly.

"Of course."

"Whatever the circumstances?"

"Of course" Andre was obviously very dissatisfied with Ye Ci's chatter and disturbing his sleep, he frowned and looked at Ye Ci: "Elf, what do you want to say, hurry up, don't disturb Andre sleeping, I'm really sleepy, you know, I'm in the prison in Red Lake City, tortured by that damn Fatal every day, but I haven't slept for a day, if you bother me again, it's too unkind, don't you say?" ”

"Of course, I don't want to delay your sleep. I just wanted to remind you that when I went to save you, I did so while Fatal was taking a nap. Ye Ci looked at Andre with a smile.

Andre opened one eye and looked at Ye Ci: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I mean, it's been a long time since we left the Red Lake City prison, and Fatal has probably woken up from his nap." Ye Ci still continued to smile, according to her understanding, although this Andre hated Fatal very much and disdained the people of Red Lake City, he was still very jealous of Fatal from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Andrei's two eyes had already opened: "Fatal woke up?" ”

"I don't think he's just waking up, if he knows that Andre, who is a felon, has escaped from prison, he might be furious." Ye Ci was still smiling, as if this matter had nothing to do with his own dime at all.

But Andre had already sat up and stared at Ye Ci's smiling face: "What, Fatal is still going to be furious"

"It's still lightweight. Think about it, if you were Fatal, and an important felony like you ran out from under your nose, do you think you would give up and skip words.

"Of course not"

"If Fatal didn't, what would he do?" Ye Ci gently dragged his chin and looked at Andre with a smile: "According to what I, a native of Red Lake City, know about Lord Fatar, he will definitely arrest you by any means, maybe, at this time, a large number of soldiers are gathering to go out of the city to search......

Before Ye Ci's words were finished, he saw that Andre, who was still lazy just now, had jumped up and shouted at her: "God, elf, you are such a smart person, you are still my good friend, if you hadn't reminded me like this, I would definitely fall asleep here, you know?" The last time I was caught by Fatal was because I ate meat and drank too much wine, fell asleep in the wild, and was reported by those damn farmers.

He yelled as he ran up the hill, "Elf, hurry up, we're going back to camp."

"The sun is so good here, don't you skip words if you don't sleep for a while. Ye Cifeng asked lightly, which made Andre's face blush: "No, no, no, let's go quickly, my good friend, it's better for us to hurry back to the mountain now." ”

This is the purpose of Ye Ci, since it has been achieved, of course Ye Ci will not continue to entangle and delay. She also stood up, scattered the fire on the ground, and threw the leftover horse meat and bones into the col to the side, before turning and running after André towards the bandits' den.

For Andrei's return, the bandits of the entire tin and silver vein have long been looking forward to it. Therefore, when they saw Andre and Ye Ci coming back, the entire bandit den was boiling, and the joyful atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than any value-added delivery in Red Lake City.

Of course, Ye Ci can't be the protagonist in this scene, and she doesn't want to be the protagonist, she just wants to get Jiang Lie as soon as possible, and then she will get the next task. However, this Mirada did not have the spare time to take care of him, for they were all immersed in the joy of Andrei's return.

Although Andre was also very excited, however, this person was still very righteous, and actually solemnly introduced himself to all the bandits and bandits at the subsequent celebration: "This elf is my savior, although she was entrusted by Mirada to rescue me, but you don't know how eerie and terrible the prison in Red Lake City is, it was this elf who used her wisdom and kindness to finally save me from which hell on earth, so, this elf is my Andre's friend, And a friend of all the Dolan Thieves."

Obviously, what Andre said was much more effective than Mirada's, and with just a few simple words, Ye Ci found that his reputation in the Doran Thieves' Club suddenly developed from friendly to intimate. With such an impact, people like Rao Ye Ci who have experienced strong winds and waves are secretly speechless in their hearts, sure enough, it is better to find the right way to work hard. Look at yourself, just flattering a key person, it's just too exciting to have your reputation improved so much at once

Based on this, Ye Ci didn't care if he was going to delay here for a while, anyway, in this place, he had become the guest of honor of the bandits, and there was nothing unpleasant about him being greeted with good wine and food.

This celebration lasted a long time, Tu Yeci went offline to eat and sleep, and the next morning it went online again, and they ended it belatedly. And when Ye Ci was standing in Mirada's original house, the person sitting there was no longer Midara, but she rescued Andre.

"My dearest friend, I know the ins and outs of your affairs very clearly, and I thank you for your righteousness and for all that you have done for me. I, Andre, will pledge that you are my forever friend, and that of the Dolan Thieves Society. Andre changed his clothes, and his hair was combed very neatly, and he looked like a dog. He nodded at Ye Ci, and spoke to her in a very respectful tone.

"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do." Regarding the conversation with Andre, Ye Ci did not choose to skip it, but carefully studied every sentence he said, and then answered very carefully.

In doing so, in fact, Ye Ci has her own purpose. For this kind of epic task, the biggest difference between ordinary tasks is that in addition to the difficulty and length of the task, it is also very important that the task has a phased reward.

It's as if Ye Ci received this task from Red Lake City at the beginning, and then she went straight to Black Mud City, and after doing a lot of work in Black Mud City, she ended the first stage of the task, and when the first stage of the task was completed, she got a purple quality skinning knife. This skinning knife actually has no combat effect, but it has great benefits in the process of skinning and cooking. First of all, it can greatly increase the speed of peeling and cooking, and it will also greatly improve the yield of meat and other things in the case of rare species of corpses. In short, although this thing has no combat effect, it is really a rare good thing for Ye Ci, a hunter who deals with Ku Ding every day.

You must know that the corpses of some rare species often cook and peel out a lot of unexpected precious materials, and these materials are things that must be used to refine equipment, enchant equipment, and improve equipment attributes. However, these things tend to have very low explosion rates, and the scale of player demand and the production of it in the whole game is simply priceless.

And now that I've worked hard in the tin silver vein, it's finally time for the second stage of the mission to end, I don't know, what will be the reward this time? Sometimes, the reward of the quest is directly related to the player's conversation with key NPCs, which is why Ye Ci has been careful when talking to Andre now, and never dares to say something that should not be said casually, so as not to affect the quality of the reward for a while.

"My friend, you have always been so loyal and polite, how can I repay you with gratitude from this heart?" When Andre said this, tears actually appeared in his eyes, although they didn't flow down, but they were spinning in the circles of his eyes, which made Ye Ci, an outsider, look really a little moved. He was quite sad for a while, and then took out another letter and handed it to Ye Ci: "This is a reply letter I wrote to the Moore City Lord of Black Mud City, you take it back to the person who handed you the letter, he will naturally tell you what to do next." ”

This is the opening task of the third stage of the mission. Of course, Ye Ci would not refuse, and she even took the letter a little respectfully. This letter looked so light, but in her hand, Ye Ci had a feeling that it weighed a thousand catties, because she didn't know what kind of difficulties awaited her in the future of this mission.

"My dear friend, you and I are about to part, and although I would welcome you to come back often to see me as an old friend, I think you will be very busy for some time to come, and you will probably not have the opportunity to come and visit me." Andrei's eyes reddened again as he spoke. This made Ye Ci a little unacceptable, anyway, Andre is also a big man, a hegemon, a dignified seven-foot man, although he shed tears like this, which plan and design is this?

If he cries beautifully, it doesn't matter, and the way he cries is really ugly enough, how can people accept this? Although Ye Ci has always been very sad with Andre's sadness on her face, this cannot hide the goosebumps that pop up layer after layer on her body.

It's disgusting.

Andrei wept for a while more, and then he took out a very strangely shaped piece of iron, carved with strange patterns. "My good friend, before you leave me, can you do something for me without skipping words.

"What's the matter?" This request made Ye Ci slightly stunned, but she still followed Andre's words. Although, according to Ye Ci's estimate, this should be the time for Andre to pay her for the second stage of the task, but no one knows what the situation of the reward is. And Andre, a key NPC, has his own way of thinking and behavior patterns, so Ye Ci can't compare him with other NPCs.

"You take this medal and go to the north of the Blade Hills to find a man named Bella, and he will tell you what to do." Andrei was quick to say what he wanted. And after he finished saying his request, no matter what Ye Ci was saying, he just nodded at Ye Ci with a smile, and said by the way: "Oh, old friend, I feel so happy to see you again." ”

This kind of performance means that Andre's conversation here has ended, and only when Ye Ci comes to him with the information after completing the task can he continue the following things.

After working hard for so long, I didn't get any rewards, but took on another task that I didn't know if the epic task or what the task was, and it was an errand run at the beginning, which made Ye Ci somewhat dissatisfied. However, she didn't show it to Andre, she still followed the rules, saluted, and quickly left here.

Blade Hills.

Ye Ci is no stranger here, not only is this a good place for leveling, it seems to be the place where he met last time he met with night and day, and it is also the place where Ye Ci took off when the Western Continent counterattacked the Eastern Continent. Ye Ci looked at it, there was still a little time before the group started in the afternoon to fight equipment, and he considered that Blade Hill would open the teleportation point by himself, so he simply went there directly.

Although more than a month has passed, there are still very few players who can reach the level of Blade Hills, and even more so, the terrain here is dangerous, and not many players have come here. Therefore, when Ye Ci came out of the teleportation point of the Blade Hill, there was only one feeling at once.

Cold.

It's so cold here. There was a biting cold wind blowing everywhere, and it hurt my heart.

And it's deserted too.

The waypoint northwest of Blade's Edge Hills was in a small camp. There are various NPCs in the camp for players to buy and sell things and repair equipment as well as the simplest supplies. There are also some NPCs that are quest NPCs, however, all the tasks here have been done, and now the NPCs here are just decorations that make this deserted camp a little more lively in Ye Ci's opinion.

Except for Ye Ci, there is no player in the camp anymore.

Ye Ci stood in the camp, rubbed his arms, and then walked to the grocer, where he bought some anti-wind pills for a small amount of money. This is a pill unique to the Blade Hills, specially designed to deal with the biting cold winds of the Blade Hills. As long as you eat it, you can walk in the wind without any danger, otherwise, it is easy to cause unnecessary death and injury due to the cold or some other danger brought by the storm.

Ye Ci summoned the fourth child, gave him an anti-wind pill, and then stuffed another one into his mouth, then jumped on the back of the fourth child and ran towards the north.

The places indicated by NPCs in Destiny are generally not too clear, such as in the northeast direction, northwest direction, in short, they will never tell you exactly where this place is. It will never tell you what landmarks or landmarks there are next to the place, everything is up to the player to figure it out, so in Destiny, the first thing a player must do when they get a new map is to familiarize themselves with the map. Try to memorize everything on the map in all directions, otherwise you'll have to cry as you run when you do a mission in the future.

Ye Ci has a little benefit, that is, this task, she has already completed it in her previous life. At this time, Ye Ci is a **GP of fate, no matter where she wants to go, she basically can't go wrong. However, basically there will be no mistakes, it doesn't mean that Ye Ci will not make mistakes at all, just like the Bella who needs to be found now makes Ye Ci very depressed. Because she couldn't remember where there was an NPC named Bella on the north side of the Blade Hills.

This depression had been accompanied by Ye Ci's running back and forth within the northern range of the Blade Hills, and it took a lot of time for her to finally find this NPC named Bella under an extremely remote mountain wall.

However, when she saw this NPC, Ye Ci's face was full of black lines, and she said why she couldn't find this NPC, because this was not a living NPC at all, but a very low tombstone, and on the top of the tombstone were two words "Bella".

For a moment, Ye Ci's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring past, laughing and galloping on the beautiful Mary Gobi. It's too bad, did anyone ask people to come to the tombstone? This is simply playing tricks, okay?

This Andrey ...... Ye Ci almost gritted her teeth, she now felt that this guy was either a natural second goods, or a well-hidden slut. Otherwise, how did he come up with such a test task?

However, finding Bella is not the end of the story. The important thing is to hand over this strangely shaped medal in his hand to him in order to complete the task. However, isn't that even more cheating? The so-called Bella is a tombstone. No, or rather, a dead man lying in the ground, she is a big living person, how can she take something to a dead man?

Who's going to point her out on this proposition?

Yes By].
