Chapter Twenty-Eight: He's Quint. Chelsea!
Old Lady Miranda's pupils shrank with a hint of fear, and her memory went back to fifty years ago: "Actually, when we first saw the green fluorite, we didn't recognize it until we saw it, the eight-eyed demon spider. Green fluorite is the favorite food of the eight-eyed demon spider, and the eight-eyed demon spider is in this place, so this kind of stone that emits green light is self-evident. Although green fluorite is poisonous, it still cannot be ignored as a medicinal material and forging material, the potion made from it is very toxic, and the weapon forged from it will also have poison attribute damage. If it were an ordinary adventurer, they would have screamed with excitement when they saw these green fluorites, but we, the two fugitives, would not, and the reason was precisely because of the behemoth in front of us, the eight-eyed demon spider. β
"The eight-eyed spider, as its name suggests, has eight eyes, and when its two rows of pin-like eyes look at us, the glow of green light makes my heart and Quint tighten. The Eight-Eyed Demon Spider is a very powerful demon beast, and we have no hope of defeating it. Quint held me behind him and told me to step back, knowing he was trying to face the Eight-Eyed Spider alone. β
"In this case, I can't help Quint at all, staying where I am will only drag Quint down, I listened to his words and retreated, but this retreat is the biggest disaster," Miranda said with tears in her eyes.
Chen Fenghua couldn't help but feel sad for the two of them, if love is just sadness, it can only be sadness.
"I retreated into the passage, and I could still hear the faint sound of collision in my ears, and that's when I knew that Quint and the Eight-Eyed Spider were fighting, and I was starting to worry about Quint. At this moment, an indescribable pain came from my abdomen, and I suddenly realized that it was life calling, and the child was about to be born! But I can't give birth here, I can't cause trouble for Quint, and once the child is born, he will be distracted, and I'm going to go, and I'm going to stay away from Quint, so that we can all be safe. β
"I struggled to move step by step to the mouth of the cave, where there was the only light here, and for that moment I had no joy of motherhood, only endless fear, and I called out to Quint in my heart, but he could not hear it. Just as I reached the entrance of the cave, I could no longer bear the intense pain, and I fainted. β
Miranda stopped at this point, and by some time the tears had left a mark on her old face, and she looked much haggard.
γBlessingγChen Fenghua had a whim, held the cross and cast a spell, and a warm light landed on Miranda's body, and the latter's love immediately became better, and the effect was obvious. Ever since Chen Fenghua had used a cure on Liu Dazhu's son, he had always wanted to use spells on other NPCs, at least he thought it was fun.
"Thank you, young man," said old lady Miranda again, "I passed out, and when I woke up again, it was in Quint's arms. Quint was covered in blood, which was terrible, and his black lips were obviously poisoned! But when I saw that he was still alive, my heart settled, and I suddenly thought of our child, but as soon as I touched my belly, the child was gone. β
"The child is gone!?" Chen Fenghua suddenly interrupted the old lady Miranda.
"It wasn't until I saw Quint's eyes that I realized something was wrong, because I realized that from the time I woke up to the time I found that the child was gone, he didn't look at me, but looked directly below the entrance to the cave with his eyes stunned. I hurriedly followed Quint's line of sight and looked over there, do you know what I saw? β
"Kid?" Chen Fenghua asked rhetorically.
"Yes, my boy, but I wasn't surprised, because he was being held by a third person besides me and Quint."
Chen Fenghua suddenly felt creepy, is this telling a ghost story!
"The man was dressed in a robe, and we immediately recognized him as a mage, this mage was skinny, and the flesh on his face had been sliced to a layer of skin, and there was no blood at all. The mage said only one word and left. He said, 'I took the baby. With just one word, he separated us from our flesh and bones! It's just a sentence! Weakened, I fainted again. β
"I didn't notice that my Quint was no longer the Quint I used to be." Old Mrs. Miranda suddenly said something strange, which made Chen Fenghua a little puzzled, "When I woke up again, Quint was still by my side, his eyes closed. I leaned into his arms until I noticed something strange about him. β
"How's Quint?"
"It turns out that the mage was a sorcerer, and he cursed Quint!" Miranda gritted her teeth, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Chen Fenghua gasped, Spellcaster!? Spellcaster is a legal profession, at least after the second turn, what does a spell caster do on Quent.
"He removed the toxin from Quent's body, but made Quint's body smaller, and Quint became a dwarf!" Miranda said.
Midget! Chen Fenghua immediately realized that the little old man NPC was the Quint in the mouth of the old lady Miranda. Chelsea! It turns out that he has been cursed! No wonder it's so short. But why did GΓΌnter Chelsea stay there? Instead of living with Miranda.
Miranda seemed to see through what Chen Fenghua was thinking, and said: "Young man, I'm afraid you should have guessed that the short person who asked you to change the conversation is my husband, Quint. Chelsea. I should be glad he's alive. β
"But why doesn't he live with you, but stay in the dark." Chen Fenghua asked the question in his heart, and now that the task has been completed, he was surprised to find that this is not a simple task at all, but a whole chain of tasks! It is impossible for an ordinary task to save such a long *, one link after another. Chen Fenghua boldly guessed that Miranda's embroidery needle lost in the Hu Song Forest may not be found at all, and the reason why there is a description of the Hu Song Forest may be that he hopes that the player will discover the secret of the hole in the ground, and then find the little NPC!!
And the reason why Chen Fenghua was able to trigger the task of the little NPC, rather than Xun and others, may be because Chen Fenghua has a good character, but it is certain that Chen Fenghua has the pre-task of Old Lady Miranda! It was Miranda's Embroidery Needle quest that led him to trigger a dialogue with the Shorty NPC. Chen Fenghua suddenly had a big head, if he hadn't happened to meet the four of Fei Xun, if he hadn't entered that hole, wouldn't he have been stupidly beating the black bear spirit and looking for embroidery needles?
Fortunately, this mission did not last long, and Chen Fenghua found the clue of the mission - Quinte. Chelsea.
"Everyone has his own personal attachments, and when the child was taken away by the mysterious sorcerer, it was Quint who was even more sad than me, who was sluggish and his eyes were glazed. He didn't pay attention to what I said to him, and I knew that he was more heartbroken than I was to lose our child. "For the next few days, Quint did not eat or drink, and he gradually lost weight. I'm still weak, but I know that if it goes on like this, we're both going to starve to death. So, with great difficulty, I crawled out of the burrow, dodged the ferocious black bear, and made my way through the woods to the Holy City. β
"Actually, the Holy City is only one step away from the underground where we are, but I am beginning to regret my choice, if I had chosen to enter the Holy City instead of hiding underground, maybe this would not have happened. When I came to the Holy City, I received the help of the Archbishop, and when she learned about me, she arranged a small house for me in the Holy City, so that I did not have to worry about anyone daring to go wild in the Holy City. It is with great gratitude that I tell Archbishop Quint about this, and the Archbishop says that if Quint comes to the Holy City, he will be sheltered, but there is nothing he can do outside the city. β
"I took the food, and I was determined to bring Quint back to the Holy City, as long as we came to the Holy City, we were safe, we have always longed for a stable life, and the years of exile have made us yearn for this peace even more. I brought food and candles to Quint, and he looked even more hurt in the light. To be honest, we don't know if the sorcerer is good or bad, he took our child and healed Quint's wounds, and although he was cursed and made smaller, he also picked up a life. β
"But Quint refused to leave, until one day he said to me, 'Miranda, you go, it's safe for you to stay in the Holy City, don't come here again, I'm going to stay here, I'm going to stay here until our children come back!' His sad eyes were full of determination, and I was so stunned when I heard it! Quint actually had such an idea! I also feel heartache when the child is taken away, but this cannot be borne by him alone! It's not his fault. β
"Underground, we have completely forgotten about the wanted things behind us, and our minds are full of the mysterious sorcerer and the newborn baby. I sneaked back to the Holy City every now and then and lived by embroidery, while Quint remained underground, and he was serious. Old Lady Miranda paused, and continued, "Life has not fluctuated much in the past fifty years, but my news is still known to our pursuers, who have come to the Holy City to try to capture me. The archbishop is right, I am sheltered in the Holy City, and those who are young have been driven out of the Holy City, and will never be allowed to enter the Holy City! I know that there are still many people in the shadows who want to arrest me back, and the Chelsea family's wanted warrant has not been taken down until now! Money is the source of temptation. β
"As a last resort, I can only stay in the Holy City, as soon as I leave the Holy City, they will wipe us out, and I can't even bother Quint! I have to hold back! Just pity my husband Quint. If we had been able to go into the city together, even if we knew that someone was watching us, why would we be afraid, because we would have lived in the holy city all our lives. β
