Minluo City is not too big, but it is not small, it is necessary for 5 people to find it separately, but there is a fountain of life in this city, and it is very likely that Katie went to the place where the fountain of life is located as soon as possible, so Zhang Mad first inquired about the location of the fountain of life and came to the "Pavilion of the Spring".

The Pavilion of the Spring, which is the location of the Fountain of Life, is located in the northeast of Mingluo City, is a pavilion-style building with different styles, the Fountain of Life is in the center of the pavilion, surrounded by heavy guards, all of them are 100-level leader-level guards, which are more advanced than the guards of the City Lord's Palace.

"Is this it? I don't know what effect the spring water of the Fountain of Life does to the player...... "Zhang Madness stood more than 20 meters outside the gate of the Spring Pavilion, not daring to approach, so he couldn't even see what color the spring water was, and could only hear the sound of the water murmuring.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Mad looked around for some "fixed" NPCs, that is, NPCs that could not move, and the first thing he found was an NPC selling herbs: "Sir, have you seen a girl named Katie?" ”

The NPC looked at Insolence twice, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

“xiexie。” Insolent nodded, and ran to another NPC, and got the same answer, could it be that Katie didn't come here?

With this question, Zhang Madness asked all the nearby NPCs, and the answer was: no.

For this answer, Zhang Qiang was delighted, if Katie hadn't been caught for trespassing on the Fountain of Life, the matter would not have been so serious, then it would have been much easier to rescue.

Next, Zhang Mad went to other places to look for it, zuihou, and Liu Chen was the first to find out the news, so everyone gathered again, in a place called "Lingyi Village", which was a shop that sold paintings.

"What is Katie doing here?" After Zhang Yan came to Lingyi Village, he saw the portraits hanging in the shop, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know, but the owner told me that after Katie came here to look at it for a while, she tried to steal one of the paintings in the store, which was ...... In this one, Katie was arrested for an attempted attempt to steal the painting. Liu Chen took Zhang Qi and the others to the innermost and most inconspicuous corner of the art shop, and then pointed to a painting on the wall and said.

Liu Sheng and the others all looked at the painting pointed by Liu Chen curiously, and found that the painting was a young human man, who was quite handsome, and the officials of Rongcheng compared it and felt that they were more handsome, and then asked, "Who is this?" It can't be Hill for Katie to be desperate to snatch the painting, right? ”

"Yes, that's Hill." Zhang Qiang replied with a complicated expression.

But when Liu Sheng and the others heard it, they all became curious: "Crazy, how do you know that this is Hill, have you seen Hill?" Zhang Madness said before that he didn't know who Hill was, so how could he have seen it?

"Uh, I guess." Zhang Qiang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly changed his words, he didn't know that there would be a portrait of Hill here, and he could imagine how excited Katie would be when she saw this painting.

Liu Sheng and the others didn't suspect Zhang Qiang's words, in fact, this is quite easy to guess, isn't it?

At this time, Bing Xinhuan proposed: "The portrait of Hill appears here, which means that Hill and Katie did come here 300 years ago, let's go and ask the boss about this painting, maybe we can get some useful information." ”

The reason why they came to Minlo City was only based on Lucasle's guess, and there was actually no definite news, but Hill's portrait proved that Lucasle's guess was correct.

"Yes!" Zhang Qi immediately called the owner of the painting shop over and asked, "Boss, can you tell us about this painting?" ”

The owner of the painting shop was an old man of the elf clan, who knew at a glance that he had lived for hundreds of years, and his name was "Dick", and after listening to the words of Zhang Qiang and others, Dick asked with a strange face: "Are you interested in this painting?" ”

"Just curious." Zhang said with a wild smile, originally he wanted to answer "yes", but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to say "curious", because Dick then asked vigilantly, "You guys weren't in the same group as the human girl just now, right?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yan showed a confused expression, pointed at Liu Chen and said, "The human girl just now? Is it her? When Liu Sheng and the others heard this, they immediately cooperated with a puzzled expression.

Dick saw it, then he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "It's not her, it's another, just now dared to snatch my Lingyizhuang's painting, it's really bold!" ”

"Oh? It's too much to dare to rob in broad daylight, is it easy to do some business these days? Zhang said indignantly, seeing that the corners of Liu Sheng and the others' mouths kept twitching, this guy played too much, right?

It's just that Dick was very happy when he heard this, and he held his arrogant hand and said: "That's it, if only every human being could understand things like you, young man, by the way, you are interested in this painting, right, I can sell it to you at a 2% discount, 200 gold coins!" ”

"So cheap? That's really too xiexie boss. Zhang said gratefully.

"You're welcome, in fact, this painting has been hanging here for 300 years, and it has never been sold, if it weren't for the kindness of the human girl who gave me the painting back then, I would have thrown it away a long time ago." Dick said.

"Human girl again?" Zhang asked with a wink.

"yes, human girl, uh, it looks like the girl who came to grab the painting before, hey, it's great that you're willing to buy this painting anyway." Dick looked relieved, and it was clear that Dick had forgotten what Katie looked like.

"Boss, can you tell us about that girl 300 years ago?" Liu Chen asked curiously, and several of them were very interested in what happened to Katie when she came here.

"Of course, didn't you just ask me to introduce this painting? In fact, this painting was painted by the girl 300 years ago, and the man who painted it was her lover, when the girl was seriously ill, and her lover brought her to seek medical treatment. ”

"At that time, my art shop had only been open for a month, but I couldn't sell a single painting, and I was almost desperate at that time, but the girl and her lover appeared, the girl was a girl who loved to paint, she admired the paintings in my painting shop, Zuihou bought the first painting in my art shop, and then gave me her painting, and encouraged me not to give up."

"I was very touched by the encouragement, and vowed to persevere, not to disappoint the girl, and in the end, the shop survived the most difficult period, and the business improved, and the Lingyi Village has been open until now, so I am very grateful to the girl, and I have kept her paintings until now." Dick said with emotion as he reminisced.

After Dick finished speaking, the Rongcheng officials hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" This sentence is a "famous aphorism".

"I didn't hear from them anymore, and I wanted to thank them, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance." Dick lamented that humans had a much shorter lifespan than elves, and that the girl was long gone.

Hearing this, Liu Chen wanted to tell Dick that there was actually a chance, but Zhang Madness stopped her, and Zuihou and his party left Lingyi Village with Hill's portrait.

"Crazy, Weishenme won't let me tell Dick Katie that she is still alive, and with Dick's help, Katie can be released, right?" After leaving Lingyi Village, Liu Chen asked puzzledly.

Zhang shook his head and said, "Not to mention that Dick doesn't believe us, do you think Dick can influence a city lord's decision?" ”

When Liu Chen and the others heard this, they all fell silent, indeed, Dick is just an ordinary art shop owner, even if he sued Katie to be arrested, he has no ability to acquit Katie.

"Then what about Katie, it's impossible for her to be locked up in the City Lord's Palace all the time, right?" Rongcheng official asked.

When Liu Sheng heard this, he muttered: "If Katie was just arrested for stealing things, she shouldn't be locked up for too long, let's wait for her to be released?" ”

"Let's go and inquire about how long you will be locked up for stealing things in the Elf Kingdom, if it's only for 2 or 3 days, just wait obediently." Bing Xin Huanran also feels that "waiting" is the safest approach.

Hearing this, he also nodded, and then found a patrol guard to ask directly, and the guard replied that it was 48 hours, that is, 2 days, so everyone decided to wait, otherwise they had no other way, and it would definitely not work to break through.

It was not early, they were originally online after eating, but now that the "plot" has been triggered, and they also got the key mission item "Hill's Portrait" from Dick, Zhang Madness disbanded the team on the spot, and Liu Sheng, Bingxin Huanran and Rongcheng officials all went offline.

Liu Chen stayed, because he still wanted to go shopping in Mingluo City, and at night in Mingluo City, the plants in the city would condense a shining thing like fireflies from time to time, which was very beautiful and even romantic.

Walking on such a street with the person you like is undoubtedly very warm and sweet, Liu Chen took Zhang Madness's hand and accompanied Crazy to slowly wander around Mingluo City.

"Crazy ......" Liu Chen hesitated for a long time, and kept wanting to speak and stopped, and when he saw it, he smiled and said: "Just ask if there is anything, is it Ruyue's matter?" ”

"Well, you guys...... Can you still reconcile? Liu Chen asked expectantly.

"What do you think? If I treat you like Ruyue, will you be reconciled? Zhang asked rhetorically.

Liu Chen fell silent, if that was the case...... This question doesn't make sense, because insolence doesn't treat her like that, but if she is insolent, she should die, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Chen felt sad for a while, maybe what she was looking forward to would not happen......

At this moment, an elven guard suddenly walked up to the two of them and said respectfully, "Two, the city lord wants to meet you. ”

When Liu Chen and Zhang Mad heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and asked insolently, "Is it the City Lord of Mingluo?" ”

"Yes, please come with me." After the guard finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city lord's palace.

Zhang Yan and Liu Chen glanced at each other again, and then followed, wondering how could the city lord know about them? The quest plot unfolds automatically?
