When he came to the ground, the sky had become as dark as the underground, Chen Fenghua stood on the ground and illuminated the surroundings with a light technique, his eyes fell on this inconspicuous hole in the ground, and after a while, the young man couldn't help laughing: "Haha, hurry back to the city to find that Grandma Miranda!" Take your time down there! ”

It turned out that this person named Miranda was the grandmother who took the initiative to send a task to Chen Fenghua before, asking him to help her find the embroidery needle, if Chen Fenghua hadn't seen her name before, he really didn't know that the person the little old man said when he was underground was her.

When they were underground before, Fei Xun and the others thought that Chen Fenghua did not trigger the task, but in fact, Chen Fenghua not only triggered, but also did not trigger it in squad mode, the task of the little old man was a secret, how could so many people know? Chen Fenghua still remembered that when he was about to leave, the little old man suddenly said in his ear: "Young man, if you see Miranda one day and tell her, don't come to me again, this old man, I am sorry for her, and besides, this deep underground is sealed by me, you can't find anything, so go back." ”

Regarding the words of the little old man, Chen Fenghua heard it and followed Fei Xun and the others in, because he didn't know whether what the old man said was true, until he saw that the end of the passage was blocked by the stone gate, and he was sure of what the old man said. As for why he didn't receive the task, it seems that this is probably going to start with the Miranda that the old man said, and this qiē is really a coincidence, this Miranda, he happened to have seen it!

Since there was nothing at the end of the ground, Chen Fenghua naturally came out as much as he could and went back to the main city to find Miranda, and the four people who remained underground could only say that they worked hard in vain.

After Chen Fenghua entered the Holy City, he pinched the illumination technique, the bright lights of the Holy City are a major feature, not to mention that Chen Fenghua's illumination range is several times larger than that of ordinary priests, and walking on the road with such a large illumination technique is too eye-catching.

With his memory, Chen Fenghua once again came to the grandmother Miranda who gave him the task of embroidering needles.

The door to Miranda's house was closed, and the dim yellow light through the window showed that the old lady had not slept.

Chen Fenghua stood at the door, feeling very puzzled, what is the relationship between an old lady living in the Holy City and an old man who stays underground all year round? Are they husband and wife? After thinking for a while, Chen Fenghua knocked on the door.

There were very few people passing by in front of Miranda's residence, so when Chen Fenghua knocked on the door of an NPC's house, it didn't attract much attention.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a head protruded from the crack in the door, it was Grandma Miranda.

"What is the matter with you, young man?" Miranda was clearly not asleep yet, and there was still a sparkle in both eye sockets.

Did she cry? Chen Fenghua obviously noticed this detail, but did not say it.

"Old lady, do you remember me?" Chen Fenghua stood at the door and said with a smile.

Miranda squinted slightly, trying to focus on the person who came, alas, the person was old and his eyes were not good, and it took a while for Miranda to recognize the person who came, and immediately said, "Oh! It's you! Young man, did you help grandma find the embroidery needle? ”

Chen Fenghua shook his head a little embarrassed and said, "Not yet"

Hearing this, Miranda felt a little regretful, sighed deeply and said: "Alas, it's hard to get things back when they're gone, maybe it's fate."

Chen Fenghua raised his head, his eyes flashed, there is really a story! So, he immediately brought the words of the little old man: "Grandma Miranda, there is an old man who asked me to tell you not to go to him again, he is sorry for you. ”

Miranda looked stunned, tried to raise her thick upper eyelids, and asked excitedly, "Which old man is it?" Where did you meet him? ”

"It's in the depths of the Hu pine forest."

"Don't stand outside the door, young man, come in and talk." As soon as Chen Fenghua finished speaking, Miranda's expression changed a few times in an instant, and she quickly opened the door and welcomed Chen Fenghua in.

Miranda's house is very modest, and the firewood in the fireplace is still burning, and it smells warm.

Mrs. Miranda moved a wooden chair and asked Chen Fenghua to sit down, and then she also moved a chair to sit down, and immediately asked Chen Fenghua: "Young man, how is he?" ”

This "he" naturally refers to the little old man, Chen Fenghua recalled the NPC he had seen, and repeated what he had said before: "He is preoccupied, let you stop looking for him, he is sorry for you." ”

Milanda was a little sad and picked up an embroidery from the table with an unfinished bird, which seemed to be a wild goose, "He is still so persistent, and he is not to blame for this qiē." ”

Chen Fenghua looked at the old lady Miranda who was immersed in the inner world, and didn't know what to say, but out of respect for an NPC, he didn't speak, but waited.

Sure enough, after a while, Miranda soothed from her grief and said to Chen Fenghua: "Young man, can you do me a favor?" Help me give this to him. ”

"Tick! The task [Retrieving Grandma's Embroidery Needle] has changed, do you accept the task [Deliver Tokens]? ”

"Accept!" The things on Chen Fenghua's task list have changed again, and it seems that he has to run again.

"Young man, I wonder if you want to hear a story?" Miranda said as she handed over the unfinished embroidery.

Chen Fenghua nodded, and transferred Miranda's things to Chen Fenghua, who was a little curious, how could a foreign old lady know ancient Chinese handicrafts.

"More than 50 years ago, there was an island in the East, called Ebony Island, which was rich in ebony, a precious plant that could be used as medicine or as furniture. People relied on ebony to prosper commerce and revitalize the island. The days went by peacefully, until one day a Western ship floated on the sea, which, as the people of the island knew, was the ship of the Chelsea family. “

"The Chelsea family is an extremely wealthy family, trading almost halfway across the continent, and Ebony Island is one of them. However, this time it was not the familiar Marco steward who came to take charge of the transaction, but another young man named Quint. Chelsea is the young master of the Chelsea family. ”

For Quint, this trip to Ebony Island may have been just an experience given to him by his family, because the huge Chelsea family has always been handed over to their younger generation; But for me, it was a disaster. Miranda paused, adding, "A blissful disaster." ”

When Chen Fenghua heard this, he was generally clear that this old lady Miranda was from Ebony Island, and she should have been a girl fifty years ago.

Miranda continued: "I remember that day fifty years ago, the Chelsea family's ship docked, and Quint stepped off the boat, he was very handsome, and I fell in love with him at first sight, yes, I was just a normal girl on Ebony Island at that time, and it may be ridiculous to say, but at that time, I fell in love with Quint when I first saw him, and I couldn't help but fall in love with him. ”

Miranda's eyes were a little red, and Chen Fenghua's presence outlined a lot of memories for her, and she continued: "I don't know if it's arranged by fate, I was given the task of receiving Quint by the island owner, and I was in charge of Quint. Chelsea lived on Ebony Island for half a month. In this half a month, I have been taking care of Quint's daily life, Quint has a good temper, without the pampered temperament of the young master of the general big family, often telling some jokes to make me happy, in the process of getting along for half a month, I found that he still has a childlike heart. However, I am just a maid, and he is the young master of the family with power and wealth, and I know that it is impossible for the two of us to be together, so I have to bury the love in my heart. ”

"At the end of the half-month deal, the Chelsea family was about to sail back to the city, but on that day, Quint whispered to me before leaving," Miranda's mind seemed to go back to more than fifty years ago, and she forgot about Chen Fenghua's existence, and continued to herself, "He said, 'Miranda, I like you, please wait until the day when you bear my name, and I will come back and marry you.'" In this moment, I was overwhelmed by the sudden happiness, time seemed to have stopped, and how I wished this moment was eternal. However, there was still the warmth of Quint in my ears, and he had already boarded the ship and departed. At the time, I couldn't believe Quint would say such a thing to a maid, but I still remember the loving and determined look in his eyes as he left, and it was the moment he turned that I had no doubt that he would come back and marry me. ”

Chen Fenghua was a little touched, he couldn't bear to interrupt the memories of Old Lady Miranda, but he vaguely felt that this should be a turning point after that.

Just as Chen Fenghua imagined, Miranda wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "Another year has passed, and the Chelsea family's ship has come to Ebony Island again. For the past year, I've been waiting for today to come and look forward to GWINT's reappearance. To my disappointment, however, Quint did not come with the fleet this time, but the Marco steward we were familiar with. I had the audacity to ask Marco about the status of Quinte, but he said in a tone that I still remember today, 'You're Miranda?' What a poor maiden! Alas, you better leave Ebony Island, the farther you go, the better, Master Quint can't be with you'. Hearing this, I was stunned, and vaguely felt that something seemed to have happened to Quinte, and a terrible thought came to my mind, Quint doesn't want me? Is Quint lying to me? I waited for him for a year and he didn't want to see me again? However, Quint didn't come this year, so maybe that's the wordless answer."
