Chapter 37: The Death Note
Along the winding cave, several people finally saw the sunlight outside again. Everyone patted their hair and clothes first, mainly because there were too many bats flying over their heads, and they felt uncomfortable if they didn't pat.
"Brave adventurers, you have finally returned," the village chief breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was concerned about the safety of several people.
Master Shuai handed over the two tokens to the village chief, who looked at them twice, and then said with a sad face: "Hey, the two simple villagers are the responsibility of the old man, why let them explore that cave." If I hadn't asked for them, they wouldn't have died. It's all my fault, and I can't live with their families." While speaking, the village chief is already an old tearful.
The village chief's sincere expression, but unfortunately the object in front of him was really wrong. The handsome mage who lacks the heart and eye cares about the rewards of the next mission, not listening to the village chief's nonsense here.
Anyway, the four of them are very close to level 19, so they just wait for the task to be completed, and then they collectively level up.
Master Shuai took out his newly acquired awesome weapon, a wooden staff, and stabbed the village chief who was sighing in front of him.
"Ah, adventurer, I'm sorry, your mission is well, this is", the village chief looked at the wooden staff in the hand of the handsome mage, his body suddenly shook a few times, his eyes suddenly opened, and his face showed a look of horror, as if in the depths, there was a trace of sadness.
"Phew, adventurer, it looks like I still need your help."
There is also a follow-up, several people were shocked at first, and then rejoiced, no one has said anything about this follow-up forum, and it is estimated that no player has received it.
"Can you tell me the identity of the owner of the cane"? Seeing that the adventurers in front of him collectively nodded in agreement, the village chief asked with a pleading face.
"It's just a death mage, without a name", Shuai Mage hurriedly said, slightly pretending to turn around and raise his eyebrows a few times, indicating that his brother's full value charm once again played a huge role.
Everyone looked at him with disdain, it was good that the handsome mage had a high charm. However, this follow-up trigger is definitely not so simple, if it has something to do with this wooden staff, then it may be that a very lucky player is needed to find the wooden staff from the opponent's corpse, and when the task is handed in again, it also needs to be seen by the village chief to activate this follow-up. Of course, there could be other reasons.
The village chief, who had been relieved by the "Death Mage", fell into fear and pain again. "Adventurers, please come with me."
For the first time, the village chief left his position and led the way to a house. Many players around noticed this, and there were even a few players who were also picking up or returning the task, and found that the village chief they were facing suddenly left. Many people followed, but except for the five people who were less than Feng, no one else could enter the house with the village chief.
The NPC setting in [Fantasy World], if multiple players talk to an NPC at the same time, then this NPC will be like a thousand-faced person, although everyone is in the same plane, but the same NPC you see in front of you, corresponding to each person is an independent side, you will find that they all seem to be just serving you, and they don't pay attention to others at all.
"Honorable adventurer, can you show this wooden staff to the old man," the village chief asked with a slight pleading.
The handsome mage was a little hesitant, could it be the dead old man's idea to beat his staff again. Fortunately, there were four people behind him, and the shots and the kicks were kicked, forcing the handsome mage to hand over the wooden staff.
"It really is him," said the village chief, tremblingly, as if in great pain. "He's back, adventurers, thank you for killing him and sparing a catastrophe in our village."
"By the way, adventurers, did you get a book from him?"
"Book, no", the handsome mage snatched his beloved staff and re-equipped it, and then his mood improved.
Feng Shao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly checked the inside of his package, he remembered that he seemed to have stolen something from the death mage, and then forgot it for a while, and then he heard the village chief's reminder, and then he remembered it violently.
**: Purple grade, a book that records various death spells and skills, and can be transferred to a hidden profession after use, death mage, which requires intelligent players.
"Hide your profession, change your job", Feng Shao took a sharp breath, opened his eyes wide, and stood in place in a daze, and after a while, he was awakened by a few people who surrounded him.
"The wind is less, your head is stuck? How can you put on a pose like this, it looks really bad", the handsome mage joked.
"Look for yourself", Feng Shao spit out the pent-up breath in his chest, feeling much more comfortable, and at the same time posted the attributes of **.
In an instant, the sound of four cold air gasps sounded, and the people who were originally joking less now had expressions that were a little more unbearable than the wind.
"This is true, didn't the [Phantom World] official say that hidden professions are rare? How did you get a copy", the cow knight had good concentration, and he was the first to come to his senses, but the mood that was suddenly affected couldn't be slowed down with excitement.
"How do I know, there are still a few of you, wake up quickly, it's too embarrassing, isn't it just a broken skill book"? Feng Shao seemed to have forgotten his expression at the beginning and shouted loudly in the group.
"Do you say, to pay or not to pay"? Looking at his teammates who had already sobered up, Feng Shao felt that it was better to discuss it first.
"This and this", Master Shuai is the hottest, this ** now only himself and Yu'er can learn, Master Shuai is also very eager in his heart, but he doesn't know how to say it, so he has to turn his head to look at his brother, hoping to listen to his brother's opinion.
"I don't know, Feng Shao, this is what you stole it, you decide for yourself", Niu Knight spread his hands, and a few of them just didn't find out in the team news that Feng Shao got this ** news, that is to say, it was not the death mage who broke out, so it is only possible that Feng Shao stole it.
"What about you"? Feng Shao looked at Yu'er and was careful that there were pits.
Yu'er already regarded herself as a person with less wind, so she naturally listened to her opinion. Be careful that there are pitfalls, and also express support for the wind to decide for yourself.
It seems that the ball has been kicked back again, Feng Shao is a little speechless, and he is really not good at distributing.
"The death mage should belong to the opposing camp, I don't know what the consequences will be after the real transfer, Feng Shao, or you should ask the village chief first, maybe the other party will not take back the book", Niu Knight said, in fact, he was also comforting his younger brother in a change of direction, not to make it difficult for Feng Shao.
Although the handsome mage lacked the heart, he still understood the meaning, his face was slightly aggrieved, and he turned his head directly to the side, no longer looking at this side, lest his greed start to trouble again.
"Adventurers, as long as the old man sees if it's the book, he will definitely not snatch it," the village chief said pleadingly, looking at several adventurers who had changed their faces several times in front of him.
"Really give"? Feng Shao asked, looking at a few people and nodded their heads slightly, then he held the ** and handed it over.
The village chief's hands trembled, he took the ** in Feng Shao's hand, turned two pages, and the tears actually flowed out again. In just a few minutes, the old village chief cried twice, is this a crybaby?
"Adventurers, put it away, don't be tempted by it, this is an ominous book", the village chief handed the book back tremblingly, and his figure instantly seemed to have aged a lot, and his back was bent even more.
Put it away again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Shao hurriedly stepped forward, supported the village chief who had turned around, and let him sit on the chair in front.
"He is my child", the old and sad voice of the village chief sounded, and everyone was shocked by this sudden change. If it was the village chief's child, then wouldn't he be the murderer of his child.
This village chief won't want to trouble us. There was a little drumming in everyone's hearts.
"But I've banished him from the house, he's not my child anymore, no, he's not my child anymore," the village chief held the edge of the chair tightly, and his vicissitudes of life seemed to be suddenly filled with strength.
"It's the misfortune of the family, and at the same time, I hurt him, and I hurt him", the old tearful village chief slapped the edge of the chair with his hand, venting his inner grief.
"Adventurers, thank you so much for helping me get rid of this evil son, I just couldn't bear to do it back then, so these two villagers were also poisoned by him, I don't know how many people he has hurt outside", the village chief wanted to stand up, but somehow, he couldn't stand up.
"Village Chief, it's not your fault, is there anything else you need our help with?" The atmosphere was a little weird, although the words and deeds of the village chief touched and sympathized with everyone, but Feng Shao felt that it was better to flash people quickly.
"Can you help me retrieve his body", the village chief endured the great pain in his heart, and looked at the wind and a few people with a longing expression.
"Okay, village chief, you rest first, let's go", Feng Shao received a new task prompt, and at the same time, the previous task was automatically completed, and everyone gained a lot of experience, except for Yu'er, the four of them were all flashing with white light, and a very comfortable feeling spread all over the body. It's only one level away from the next job change.
"Thank you, thank you", seeing Feng Shao accept the task, the village chief thanked several people again. At this time, the village chief is more like a late father.
The task village chief's entrustment, only need to simply retrieve the corpse of the dead mage, Feng Shao estimates that there shouldn't be much of a task reward, but accidentally got **, which is already the biggest reward.
A few people came to the entrance of the cave again, Feng Shao picked up the torch and went in alone, as for the other four, Feng Shao just let them wait outside.
Because of the follow-up mission, the corpse here was not refreshed, Feng Shao directly picked up the corpse, and sure enough, he obtained a new task item: the remains. Feng Shao was a little nervous, anyone with a body on him, even if it was in a package that could not be seen outside, his heart would tremble a little and be afraid.
"Let's go, go back", the wind came out, and the expression had returned to normal, but there was no smile. With everyone, I came to the room where the village chief was again, and there was already a large group of players outside, and when I saw Feng Shao and a few people coming back, they all chattered around, wanting to get some information from Feng Shao.
The bull knight led the two of them to open the way in front, Feng Shao hugged Yu'er, and several of them were silent. It took a lot of effort for a few people to finally squeeze into the room. Everyone touched their foreheads, these players are too much.
"Village chief, give", looking at the excitement of the village chief, Feng Shao directly chose to complete the task, the body automatically appeared in the room, placed on the ground, although the body was wrapped in black cloth, but the village chief seemed to recognize the corpse in front of him was his son, directly trembling and kneeling next to the corpse, hugged the corpse, trembling hands violently, and slowly uncovered the mask on the corpse's head.
"My son, I can't stand you," the village chief cried again.
Feng Shao took a step back, directly took out the return to the city, and began to return to the city.
"Thank you, brave and kind adventurers, and remember, restrain your greed and do not let the evil book corrupt you." Looking at the people who were returning to the city, the village chief shouted in a serious tone. When several figures disappeared, he turned to sadness, hugged the corpse of his child and continued to cry bitterly.
The task was completed, and sure enough, each person gained very little experience.
