However, Shen Chen underestimated Wei An and did not know his past identity.

"You used to be a soldier of the Twelfth Legion, right? I saw you at the Lakeside Fortress!" Wei An sneered: "When will the chief of Goldshire stop guarding the town?"

Tok also saw Wei An's face at this time, and he was shocked. This was not...

"Sir, Ninth Squadron, Second Squadron, Private Tok!" The soldier saluted. He recognized Wei An's past identity. He was trained under Wei An during his recruitment stage!

"Very well, soldier, now I order you to take me to see your sheriff!" Since we are former subordinates, this is easy to handle.

Although Tok hesitated and did not want to carry out Wei An's order, the long-term discipline in the army still allowed him to make a decision.

"Please follow me. A lot of things have happened in Goldshire recently. Can you confirm that the person behind you is absolutely safe? What you see next must be kept secret."

"Of course, tomorrow is credible!" Wei An said.

After hearing this, Shen Chen felt happy. His previous performance was considered qualified. Thanks to Wei An's trust, he could finally participate in major events in this world!

The soldier finally stopped leading the way slowly, and the group soon arrived at a hut.

"The Sheriff is inside, please go in by yourselves."

Shen Chen walked into the hut. The corridor was filled with guarding soldiers. On the bed in the inner room, a burly soldier lay. Next to him was a priest wearing a white robe, and several deputies were also gathered around him. , seemed to be discussing something.

Wei An immediately stepped forward. The person lying on the bed was naturally Duhan, the Sheriff of Goldshire. His eyes were closed tightly, and his face seemed to have an unnatural and strange red color.

It turns out that Sheriff Duhan was assassinated during the investigation of corrosion! He has been in a coma for several days.

The priests and paladins in the town were helpless against this corruption, and for the sake of safety, they issued an order to block the news.

Shen Chen thought to himself: "Although the Sheriff is unconscious, why don't these people go to Stormwind City to seek support? What are they worried about?"

At the same time, the main mission was also triggered.

【Investigating corrosion】

Duhan, the Sheriff of Goldshire, was attacked by a cult warlock while investigating a murder in the town. He was corrupted and unable to wake up.

This is just a sign before evil comes. The entire Elwynn Forest is in danger, and you must act quickly.

The completion rate of the main mission [Clues of Corrosion] reaches 30% and the node is triggered!

The more clues you investigate, the greater the impact on subsequent events, and the more generous the reward you will receive in the end!

Wei An turned around and whispered: "The situation in Goldsmith Town is very serious. I must ensure the safety of the town on Du Han's behalf, so the investigation task is left to you."

This is also the fairness of the game world. The previous NPC's companions have already distributed the rewards for Shen Chen to trigger the main storyline.

When other players from Jinsha Mine return to Goldsmith Town, they will naturally receive this quest.

Shen Chen glanced at the countdown. There were still 159 hours and 43 minutes left. It seemed like there was plenty of time, but in the face of a complicated situation, there seemed to be no clue.

Just as the game time ran out, Shen Chen quit Advent.

"You two have been staying up late in the game world for several days. Look what time it is now?" Li Hua said sternly. He was standing at the door of the classroom, waiting for Shen Chen and Liu Wei to exit.

Shen Chen touched his head. According to the time he entered the game world, it should be almost 11 o'clock in the evening. It would be almost the same time when he got home.

"Teacher, we..." Liu Wei wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Hua.

"Of course I know that you are under a lot of pressure right now, and you wish you could use one minute instead, but now is the time when you are growing up, and a good body can guarantee good results."

"Shen Chen, you should be able to control your study and rest time by yourself. The teacher knows your self-control. As for Liu Wei, I have already talked with your parents. Anyway, you must exit Advent before 9 o'clock during this period. !" Li Hua taught him earnestly.

Shen Chen felt hot in his heart. Although the teacher's tone was stern, he still thought about himself. I think every high school teacher is like this, with a sharp mouth and a heart of fuss!

He immediately replied: "I understand, teacher."

"Okay, you two, go home quickly." Li Hua waved his hands when he saw the two of them honestly admitting their mistake.

...

"Where do you think we should start?" On the way back, Shen Chen kept thinking about where to start looking for clues to the mission.

"You ask me?" Liu Wei glanced at Shen Chen in surprise. He had never thought about this problem before. In the past, he just had to be a good tank.

"Yes." Shen Chen recalled the clues he got from the world of gods and demons.

Why did the Skaven appear in Elvin, what role does the Sands Mine play in it, and what forces are involved in the Church of Pain?

Then I thought back to the things related to the Kingdom of Stormwind in my previous life. The main hostile forces in Elvin were Defias, right? Could it be related to them?

Or is it another conspiracy of the Black Dragon? Use the power of corrosion to further disrupt and weaken the war potential of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

"Old Shen, don't think too much. Maybe the clue is in Goldsmith Town!" Liu Wei looked at Shen Chen who was bowing his head in thought and persuaded: "You are too immersed in the game world, think more openly. !”

Shen Chen forced himself to stop his thoughts and pressed his aching scalp, "That's right. The boat will naturally straighten up when it reaches the bridge. Maybe the mission clues will pop up by themselves tomorrow."

Shen Chen has been a little obsessed recently. It is just a game world, and Goldsmith Town and Corruption are only about rewards. But because of the special main line system, Shen Chen cares more about these plot changes than others.

Of course, the more important reason is that he wants to directly return to the top spot in this monthly exam, so he puts too much pressure on himself.

"Okay, Lao Ban is right, you are just too strong." Liu Wei patted Shen Chen on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "But this is Lao Shen."

The next day, after Shen Chen entered the game, he immediately went to the Pride of the Lion Hotel.

Due to the decrease in businessmen coming and going, the business of this famous hotel has also deteriorated a lot. Of course, this cannot be ruled out as the reason why Shen Chen came in the morning. Most of the drunkards are probably still sleeping with their heads covered.

"Welcome, strange traveler." As soon as he entered the door, a waitress in a green robe greeted her, half leaning on a solid wood chair.

Shen Chen smiled at Milly Ted's waiter and said, "Hello, I am an adventurer from North County. Do you have any drinks you can recommend here?"

Milly glanced at Shen Chen, as if sizing up his spending power, and then smiled and said: "If you are here to drink, I would like to recommend Stormwind Port wine. This kind of wine is rich in aroma and full of stamina. It is an adventurous wine." If you want to buy wine and wholesale it to other places, I think Beixian wine is very suitable. It has a long shelf life and a long-lasting aroma, so it is very popular among out-of-town businessmen."

Shen Chen took a look at the price. It was more than 1 silver, which was not cheap. Although he had the greed of a knight, it was only more than 2 gold. However, he came to get information, so he endured the pain and bought it!

Milly glanced at Shen Chen again, seemingly surprised that Shen Chen would actually buy wine. Last night, several adventurers similar to him came in to inquire about the information, but they didn't spend any money.

Then he showed a smile and said: "Only a generous guest like you deserves to know this news, those stingy people, huh!"

Shen Chen also smiled. He knew in his heart that this was the malice of the game world.

If you honestly spend money to buy wine in exchange for information, the mission will continue directly. But if you want to fight with the NPC, then do the side mission first, and wait until the NPC squeezes enough benefits from you, then you can get the real reward. information.

"I want to find out what happened in the town recently." Shen Chen picked up the wine bottle, poured it into two cups, and handed one cup to Milly.

Milly picked up the wine, showed her cute dimples, and said with a smile: "Are you sure you want to treat a lady to a strong drink?"

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, then took another look at the wine list, gritted his teeth and bought a bottle of 18 Silver Moonberry Juice.

"Giggle, you are such a good person." Milly took a sip of wine, rested her chin on her hand, and stared at Shen Chen.
Chapter completed!
