As the castle lord's official residence, this two-story domed building with a vestibule and backyard in the ancient Roman style is far more magnificent and majestic than the ordinary buildings in the Drifting Snow City! In this city known as the land of ice, the buildings have become crystal clear under the cold and low temperatures for many years, and even the most dilapidated thieves' guild still has extraordinary charm under the illumination of magical lights at night! Not to mention the majestic building of the castle lord's residence, which is magnificent, slightly ancient and aristocratic.

Xiao Hua had seen the fall of the thieves' union, but he hadn't had time to see the city lord's mansion. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Hua was immediately blinded by the strong and dazzling magic lights outside the City Lord's Mansion, and after getting used to the magic lights that were far brighter than the rest of the city, Xiao Hua looked at the City Lord's Mansion with only two floors.

Under the dark night sky, with the strong magical lights, this two-story Romanesque building looked extremely majestic, even if Xiao Hua had been to the official residence in the main city of the White Tiger, which was far taller than the building in front of him, he still felt very shocked. The building in front of you has a gorgeous and dazzling feeling that even the tallest building can't match!

There are two silver-armored swordsmen guarding the entrance of the mansion, and players with PK on their bodies will not be allowed to enter, but ordinary people will pass unimpeded. After Xiao Hua lost his mind for a short time, he walked in quickly.

Walk into the front hall on the first floor of the residence, which is where the house is sold. But at this moment, the wide hall was silent, and only a thin old man in a black magic robe sat behind a quaint wooden square table.

This old man is the sheriff of Drifting Snow City and the great mage of the water system, Leitt. Leiter sensed that someone was entering, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Hua.

"I want to buy a house in the city. Xiao Hua saw that it was an old man, so he directly explained his intentions. As far as he knew, there were two magistrates in Drifting Snow City, a man and a woman. Today it happens to be a man, and if it's a woman, he also wants to try to use the title of "well-read" to the genus of the female surname charm +5 to see if there will be any unexpected benefits.

However, Xiao Hua did not have expectations for this idea, after the incident of the Thieves Guild, Xiao Hua realized that it was only 5 points of charm, and there was no chance to trigger the task for the high-level NPCs, and the only advantage was that buying goods from the female NPCs of the system could make less money. But buying a house is not the same as buying and selling in a system store, even if it is more attractive, it will not give you a discount.

"Please wait. The magician Wrett nodded expressionlessly, and pulled a scroll from the pile of parchment papers beside him. The scroll was unraveled and spread out on a wooden table, and at a cursory glance, it was not difficult to see that it was a magical map made of sheepskin.

Rett chanted a spell in his mouth, and then waved the old magic wooden staff in his hand, and a stream of sky-blue crystal water vapor floated on the table. The water vapor quickly disappeared, but the magic map on the desktop began to become uneven as if it had come to life, and in the blink of an eye, small models of houses were formed. If you are familiar enough with Drifting Snow City, you can immediately recognize that this is a Drifting Snow City that has shrunk by an unknown number of hundreds!

Although he had heard about it for a long time, Xiao Hua still thought it was amazing. I don't know what kind of water magic this old man is using, but it has such a magical effect.

The shape of the house model on the map is exactly the same as the real house in Snowdrifter, the only difference is that the model houses are marked with different colors.

"The black mark is the place that is absolutely not to be chosen, the red place is already inhabited, if you like it, and the person is willing to sell, you can pay a certain fee to live there, and the green mark is the empty house, you can choose whatever you want. Reitt explained, pointing to the various colored model huts on the magic map.

"What about the gray places?" Xiao Hua asked, pointing to the dozens of houses on the map that were not any of the above three colors, but gray-white.

"That's where the disappeared citizens once lived. There was a stir on Reiter's wrinkled face.

"The citizen is missing?"

"Yes, in the past few years, there have been a series of disappearances of residents in the city. Under the order of the city lord, all the security teams in the city were dispatched to investigate, but they still couldn't find any trace of the missing residents, as a sheriff, this is my dereliction of duty!" said Leiter with a regretful face.

"Your Excellency, I wonder if I can help you a little in this matter?" At this point in the conversation, everything went on as Xiao Hua knew, and Xiao Hua lost no time in conducting the conversation according to what he knew.

"Of course. We welcome anyone who might be of our help, and if you can solve the mystery of the disappearance of the inhabitants, the Lord and I will definitely reward you profusely!" the old magician Rett smiled kindly and gratifyingly, but his eyes had lost their luster, and even the smile made people look weird.

System prompt: Do you accept the quest "Missing Citizens"?

Of course, Xiao Hua would not hesitate to take the task.

Missing Citizens: There have been more than a dozen bizarre disappearances of citizens in Snow City in the past few years, find out the reason for the disappearance of citizens, solve the incident, and you will get a lot of rewards!

Difficulty: Level A! Tasks can be shared, but can be shared with up to five people, so it is recommended to complete them in a team!

Successfully received the task, Xiao Hua smiled hesitantly. When I was wandering around the forum before, I thought that I would buy a house after getting the money for the auction token, so I looked up the purchase process in the forum by the way, and then accidentally saw the specific steps of how to receive the task of "missing citizens". Now follow the steps mentioned in the post, and you really received the task!

The quest "Missing Citizens" first appeared half a year ago, when a player in Drifting Snow City had a very nimble mind who felt that the color of the house model was strange when he bought a house, and then triggered the quest. But he took the task alone for a long time and still had no clue, so he had to share the task with others, and as a result, the method of triggering the task spread.

A task with a difficulty of A-level is still released at the city lord's mansion, and the task reward can be imagined. Countless people flocked to the city lord's mansion to take the task, and after so many people took the task, more than ten days passed, and there was still no progress in the task of one person.

Then a player was curious for a while, after buying a gray marked house, the task finally changed, but not progress, but the mission failed!

This incident was used as a breakthrough, and after a player's research, he proposed that if he wanted to continue the next mission, he had to buy a gray house!

But immediately someone stood up against it, and put forward another opinion, thinking that the system could not make such an unfair task, from the perspective of the powerful open surname in the second world, this is an open surname task with multiple ways to solve, although rich players can go to the next step by buying gray houses, but ordinary players can also take the next step by some means or triggering an event.

Compared to the first player's statement, the second person's statement is more acceptable, but unfortunately, since the appearance of the quest, no one has found a normal way to break through the quest, and those who want to complete this quest can only move on to the next step by buying a gray house.

As a last resort, a very small number of players who have money and want to get a reward for rare items spend a million on a gray house, only to find that no matter how many people appear in the room, they will be inexplicably hung up after staying for a long time!

In this way, everyone knows that the gray room is the key to the mission, but the problem is that no one can survive in the room! After ten players in Drifting Snow City buy a gray house and fail the mission, no one is willing to give 500,000 to the system for nothing. The quest "Missing Citizen" has become one of the tasks that players can't solve.

Xiao Hua saw this interesting task and felt that he had illusion skills and seemed to be able to fight, so he wanted to try it. If he fails, he only loses 500,000, and the house can still be used after the mission fails, which is not a big loss for him. But what if the shit luck succeeds? Xiao Hua is still angry about the high reward of the random world task ring during the internal test, but unfortunately it is a random task, and the probability of being encountered by him again is theoretically infinitely close to zero, so since there is a high-reward task in front of him, he has to let it go anyway!

However, even if he has an illusion, Xiao Hua also feels that this task should not be completed by him alone at present, but this task must be followed when buying a house, otherwise it will not be able to be taken again, so Xiao Hua plans to hang it on his body next, anyway, there is no time limit for the task.

"Your Excellency, I want to buy that house, can I?" Xiao Hua asked, pointing to a remote gray house in the northeast of Drifting Snow City.

"According to the laws of the Allen Continent, the city lord has the right to dispose of the property of the missing and unrelated people, but our lord does not advocate this law and has never disposed of the houses of the missing citizens. As a member of the Allen Continent, you have the right to buy this house, but the city lord has also made it a rule that the purchaser must pay twice the price as an additional compensation in case the resident returns. ”

Xiao Hua nodded, happily handed over the gold coins, and obtained the ownership of the house.

Out of the official residence, Xiao Hua didn't mean to look at the house he had just bought, and the room didn't need to be used until his mission was completed or failed. Calling a carriage, Xiao Hua walked to another famous building in the city.
