Chapter 12: The main quest that has finally been triggered
"On the day the Yankees came, I had Pock drive the old sow and a litter of piglets into the swamp, but the old sow had lived for ten years, and she was very smart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info doesn't know where it ran with its cubs now, Polk has been looking for two days and still hasn't found them, you can go find them later. ā
"Hey, Miss Scarlett, I'm not a slave!" Xue Yuan said dissatisfied, he had now changed into a black uniform that was a little awkward for him. "We've got it ...... done."
"We did say yes, I will teach you knowledge in exchange for your service to Tara Manor." Scarlett smiled and said, "Have you ever seen a slave who can wear such good clothes?" This is the uniform of a noble butler from the Kingdom of Frans, left by my mother. Those excellent housekeepers cultivated in the Old World will not come to the New World to suffer, so no one has worn this dress for decades. I think you're just right to wear this uniform, so I took it out of the closet for you. ā
"Clams? No wonder it smells of rotten mold. Xue Yuan said dissatisfiedly, "You actually wear this kind of clothes for me?" ā
"There are no men's clothes at Tara Manor. Of course, if you like, you can go to the slave quarters to see if there are any strips of cloth that they have missed. I'm also worried about whether this butler uniform will be damaged if you wear it. ā
"Then I can't wear my own clothes?"
"Of course not!" Hao Scarlett said categorically, "You are from the outer continent, and going out in fancy clothes will only cause unnecessary trouble." You have to remember that you are now a civilized native, and I have hired you as a butler, so if you are asked by the Yankees' squad, you can answer so that you don't get into trouble. I know it's easy for you to kill a few Northern soldiers, but if there are too many missing soldiers, the Yankees will organize a large-scale inventory! Now there are enough Northern soldiers who are 'missing' around here. ā
Scarlett never said anything about her taking out a Northern Army squad.
"But is there any reason for a housekeeper to go to the swamp to find the old sow and the piglets?"
"Listen, you have to bring the sow and the piglets back - or get out of here and our agreement will be null and void!" Hao Scarlett was a little angry, she had never met anyone who dared to contradict her like this since she was a child.
"But I have to know why, right? Do old sows and their cubs matter? I've brought quite a few food ......"
"There's not enough food you brought, Mr. Ronald." "The Yankees herded their horses in the cornfields and took away all the corn that the horses didn't eat or spoiled. They drove the gun wagons and wagons through the cotton fields, and destroyed all the cotton, leaving only a few acres on the small river beach, which they did not pay attention to, and it would be nice to collect about three bales at most, which was not enough to pay taxes - of course, the federal government may not have time to collect taxes from us at the moment, but once they have free up their hands and send tax collectors to collect taxes and Tara Manor cannot take them out at that time, the land will be taken into federal possession! So now any useful supplies are precious. We have a difficult winter to end, so the old sow and the piglets are very important now, please make sure you find them. ā
It's really a penny that is hard to beat a hero, Xue Yuan showed a clear look, in front of the state machine, today's witches are not much stronger than ordinary people.
"If you could teach more about magic...... Xue Yuan said slowly.
"No problem." "As long as you can find the old sow and the piglets before sunset, I'll do everything I can to teach you." But you have to be careful, the old sow has a bad temper. ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Why did Xue Yuan stay to catch the sow for Hao Sijia, no, to be a housekeeper?
Naturally, it wasn't because he was kind, or because he wanted to please the so-called "heroine of the plot", but if he had a choice, he would rather leave here and run to a safer place - he didn't like the mosquito-infested swamp area.
In fact, when he was talking to Scarlett, when Scarlett said that "the land is the source of the witch's power", the task aid device, which had been silent since entering the mission world, suddenly gave a mission prompt:
Quest requirements passed: Scarlett O'Hara has a 10 opinion of you, and Tara Manor is friendly to you.
Trigger Main Quest A1: Righteous and Courageous
The escape of black slaves and the looting of the Northern army have put Tara Manor in a difficult situation, and the wanderers, dirty blacks, and greedy Northern soldiers outside the manor are constantly threatening the safety of Tara Manor, and you need to help Scarlett O'Hara, the owner of Tara Manor, survive the difficulties. (Note: If you abandon the quest, Scarlett O'Hara's opinion of you will be greatly reduced, and you will not be able to take the A-series main quest.) ļ¼
In this way, Xue Yuan naturally had to take it even if he didn't pick it up, but he didn't expect the main material plane world to be so different, and the main quest could only be triggered after meeting the conditions. Although there are A series main quests, there must also be B series and C series, but Xue Yuan doesn't want to be ingenious.
"If this world is not much different from Gone with the Wind, it shouldn't be difficult to help Tara Manor get through it." Xue Yuan pondered, but after he took over the task cunningly, he still relied on his three-inch tongue to persuade Hao Scarlett to agree to teach him the magic knowledge of witches, which was also an unexpected joy.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
"The old sow has a bad temper? No matter how bad her temper is, can she still fly? Xue Yuan thought like this, and casually agreed, in his mind, it was not very difficult to find the old sow and her cubs in the swamp. The reason why the black man couldn't find it before was probably because he was lazy and grinding.
