Chapter 25: Side Quests
said that he was going out to the restaurant, but in fact, Ye Chao could only go back to his study. The reason is very simple, he just came back from the Wisdom Forest without any money, and it would be a bit embarrassing to reach out to Pian Xing to ask for it, and people may not necessarily give it.
The folk customs of this place in Chiba Ridge are still relatively strong, and if you live around the Wisdom Forest, you can't live at all if you don't be strong. So you have to pay when you go to the restaurant here, even if you are the lord of Chiba Ridge, you can't be an exception, it's a big deal to discount the price, you can't make money at all and lose money.
Hanabi had already seen through all this, so when Ye Lan roared in such a domineering voice, she was unmoved at all, and sat honestly beside Lianxing. Thinking about Ye Chao, I feel sad, the dignified Lord of Chiba Ridge is so panicked, I'm afraid the entire Qixing Kingdom can't find a second one.
It's definitely not an excuse to say that he wants to contact the people from the Swordsman Guild, in fact, Ye Lan wanted to do this when he came back, but the two women in the family were too noisy, so he didn't have time.
After connecting the magic communication device specially configured for him by the Swordsman Guild, Ye Chao poured himself a glass of water and waited patiently, it was good to eat and drink a glass of water to satisfy his hunger.
There was a dazzling glow on the magic array of communication equipment, and then a mirrored image appeared in front of him, the person in the picture was an old man, he was sitting in front of the table, and there was a bunch of delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table.
"I said, Lord, do you know that your life is so luxurious and extravagant?" Looking at the food in front of the old man, and then thinking about what happened to him, a nameless fire burned from Ye Chao's heart.
The old man didn't hurry to speak, but swallowed the food in his mouth unhurriedly, and by the way, he drank a glass of wine and rinsed his mouth: "It turned out to be Ye Xiaoyou, I was still wondering who would talk to me at this time." Have you eaten, why don't you eat together?"
"Isn't your greeting too insincere, how can you eat together, do you find someone to set up a one-way magic array and teleport it to me? In other words, these things you eat are not cheap, are they your own money, shouldn't it be public money to eat and drink? I vaguely remember that last month, the trade union also issued a red-headed document on thrift and thrift, and putting an end to eating and drinking at public expense, isn't it, Lord Grower, is this considered a crime against the wind?" Ye Chao's words had a tone of revenge against society.
The old man thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, the one-way magic array has to go to the magic guild to apply, and you also know that the people in the magic guild are all a group of vampires." The cost of building the magic circle alone is enough for you to eat so many meals.
As for whether it is a question of eating and drinking at public expense, why should Xiaoyou care so much, you see that I have been busy for the union all these years, and there is no credit and hard work, and there is no fatigue without hard work. I'm old, and I'm dying soon, and an old man is going to eat something delicious, how can you young people hold on to this matter, isn't it too unloving?
Why don't we talk about something else now? The funding for the event you applied for last time has already been issued, and I think it won't be long before it will be credited to your account. Also, my Honorary Elder, do you have anything important to do with me at this time? If there is nothing to do, let's leave it at that, although I like to talk about life and ideals with young and promising people like you, but I want to finish this meal quietly now, can you fulfill the wish of my old man?"
Ye Lan secretly clapped his hands and praised in his heart, he is worthy of being an old guy who has lived for so many years, and he is really tactful in speaking and doing things. I just said so much, in fact, there is only one meaning I want to express, I gave you the benefits, don't report me to make both of us ugly, now I want to eat, if there is nothing to do, hurry up and get out!
"Lord, let's not be joking, I admit that you are very old, but it would be an exaggeration to say that your life will not be long, you are already at the level of a sword master, and your lifespan must be at least three hundred years old, I don't think you will necessarily die when I die."
Okay, let's get down to business, I'm looking for you this time because I want to inform you, how much do you know about things like the Cursed Blade?"
"What! Did you see the Cursed Blade? where, by whom, and what kind?" Suddenly hearing the words Cursed Blade, the old man stopped eating what he was nervous about, and his face became extremely ugly.
Ye Chao recounted what had happened in the command forest before, and after listening to it, the old man said, "It seems that there are still people on the continent who are continuing to study the cursed blade, and the work of the Bright Holy Sect is not very thorough." Moreover, the other party's research has made some progress, at least I have never heard of this type of cursed blade before.
Xiaoyou really thank you very much, you can share such important information with us, you can rest assured, I will definitely arrange for someone to track down this matter immediately, the cursed blade is equivalent to a forbidden existence on the mainland, no matter who touches it, it will not end well. ”
Ye Lan shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's easy to say, who made me also a member of the Swordsman Guild, and with the title of Elder Yi, I can get a lot of benefits every year, I have to make some contributions, otherwise my conscience will be disturbed."
By the way, if you plan to act, you'd better hurry up, a girl from the Sophia family also knows about this, and I'm afraid they will use this to make a fuss about it to suppress the Phoenix family. ”
"You did it right, if you rashly poke it out before you find out about this matter, it will cause a lot of commotion~ . I'll talk about this matter with the people of the Bright Holy Sect later, and I'll also say hello to the Sophia family, so don't worry. ”
Ye Lan nodded and waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't worry about it, this is the case, you arrange someone to do it, I hope that the activity funds I applied for can be delivered to me as soon as possible, and we will see you later." ”
After saying that, Ye Chao planned to hang up the magic communication equipment, this thing was consuming the Demonic Beast crystal nucleus every minute, and it was really not something that ordinary people could afford.
However, at this time, the president of the Swordsman Guild suddenly stopped him and said, "Little friend, wait a minute, it just so happens that I also have something here that I want you to help with." ”
"What is the specific matter, please explain it succinctly, you also know that I am relatively poor and can't afford too many Warcraft crystal nuclei. ”
"That's right, our Swordsman Guild received a very interesting news before, there seems to be a person imprisoned in the cell in Maple Leaf County, this person is an alchemist, it is said that he has the recipe for making a drug, this medicine can make people enter a temporary state of euphoria after taking it, and can lose pain.
The side effects of this drug are also very obvious, people who take the drug will have strong hallucinations, and they are extremely aggressive, and the drug is extremely addictive. It is said that the nobles on the Maple Leaf County side caught ~ this alchemist, planning to force out the formula of the drug, and then use the drug to make huge profits.
I heard that Maple Leaf Town is quite close to your place, right next to your fiefdom Chiba Ridge, I wonder if I can let you go and help rescue people, and then hand them over to us?"
Ye Chao thought for a while and figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, to put it bluntly, it was a master of drug manufacturing who discovered a new type of drug, and then the news was grasped by the nobles of Maple Leaf County, and then the nobles caught the master of drug production and planned to make money with new drugs, and the swordsman guild seemed to be interested in this alchemist.
"I'm sorry I refused, it's very troublesome to mention this matter, and Maple Leaf County is not close to where I am, it is already under the jurisdiction of other lords, and my action is equivalent to crossing the border.
Besides, this kind of thing has always been the responsibility of the internal combat team of the Swordsman Guild, isn't it too much for you to ask an honorary elder to do this kind of thing? I remember that I should be a non-combatant at that time, right? I said, Mr. Kiran, what do you think, you can't be an old fool, right?"
Speaking of the name of the president of the Swordsman Guild, Ye Lan wanted to laugh, how many parents who are not responsible can come up with such a name!
"How can it be troublesome, in fact, this matter is very simple, you only need to go once and rescue people. We have already inquired clearly, because this matter is illegal, so the nobleman did not dare to blatantly lock people in the prison of Maple Leaf County, but chose to lock them up in his lord's mansion, so relatively speaking, the defense is simply weak and can't bear to look at it directly.
As for the non-combat formation, why should young people care so much, and don't this kind of thing sound like it makes your blood boil if it weren't for the fact that the people sent to do it have lost contact, I wouldn't bother you, you must know that it takes a lot of time to transfer people from other places temporarily. ”
"Dead old man, you have made it clear that you are planning to trap me, right, all the people you sent have lost contact, and then you tell me that it is very simple?
In short, it's useless, I don't plan to go out to toss during this time, the family's business has been bad recently, and I can't open the pot anymore, I plan to earn more money to support my family. ”
However, just as Ye Lan was about to hang up the magic communication device, he suddenly remembered the sound of the system prompt in his mind.
"The side serial quest "Samuel's Redemption" triggers, please ask the player if they are willing to accept this serial quest, the average difficulty of this task is B, the task reward can be stacked, the more times you stack, the richer the reward you get, and the task guarantee reward is 1000 points of experience, 1000 points of honor, and there is a chance to improve the function of a facility of the inn for free. This quest is optional, and if the player refuses to accept it, it will be permanently deleted and will never appear again. ”
After listening to the task prompt, Ye Yan said with a bitter face: "Why don't we talk about this task in detail, I'm suddenly interested now." ”
