The slums of Dragon City are a place that almost all players are unwilling to go to. What is ridiculous is that almost 80% of the tasks within Dragon City are related to this area. This shows that this place is simply a problem area. It is messy,
Lifeless, skinny residents, dirty puddles, and rats scurrying around are all the scenery here.
In an alley that exuded a weird atmosphere, the wooden door of a dilapidated hotel suddenly creaked and shuddered. Then Yun, who frowned, pushed open the door and walked out. He looked at the people surrounding the door.
Said: "Sosk lives nearby, but the NPCs here don't know where he lives specifically or what kind of job he does. They only know that he is an alcoholic, at least on the surface."
"Sister Yun only talks so much when collecting information." The little girl pinched her nose. She always called Yun "sister", no matter how disgusted the latter was with this word, or the other party.
How many times did she correct this.
Yun pretended not to hear and automatically ignored the little girl's words.
"It seems that Sosk is a mysterious guy, and it is indeed not simple... However, since we have accepted this task, we must try our best to complete it. We only have one requirement, which is the old rule of our team, to save life at all times
Prioritize it." Half Apple instructed.
Cole nodded, and then asked: "But we have no clue now, how to start? Apart from knowing that Sosk is a habitual thief and lives in a slum, we can hardly find any other information about him.
?The slum area is so big, how can we find it?"
Wrought Iron waved his axe, and said disdainfully: "Nonsense, of course we will look for it one by one!"
"I...I..." Manshi took a step forward, "I'm...responsible for...smashing...smashing...the door!"
"Smash you on the head!" Ke'er threw them a pair of hygiene balls angrily.
"Sister Xue, do you have any idea?" Among the three girls, the little girl Ke'er didn't dare to have any hope for her, so she had no choice but to turn to Quiet Xue for help.
"Me?" Ning Jingxue smiled. "I think the captain may have a way." As she said that, she looked at Xiao Fen, who had not even frowned so far.
Xiao Fen nodded, "Yes, it's not difficult for me to find someone." He brushed a few strands of hair in front of his forehead with his hand, "But I'm thinking, maybe this matter is not that simple, we have to think about it later.
.”
"Behind? What's behind?" the little girl asked curiously.
"The conspiracy hidden behind the appearance, the huge power connected behind a single chess piece... The implications of this mission may be very large, that is to say, if Lao Pa guessed correctly, this may be a huge and complex continuation
The mission is also the first story-based mission since Canaan began its public beta." Half Apple explained.
"Story mission?" The little girl's eyes widened. "What is that?"
"What drives the historical process of the game is the plot missions." Xiao Fen said word for word.
"Hey, hey, please don't be so mysterious...it makes it seem like this mission is very serious." Ke'er shouted dissatisfied.
"Yes." Xiao Fen shrugged his shoulders. "Since it is a task, we are confident that we can complete it, aren't we?" His expression was very relaxed when he said this, but this kind of relaxation revealed a strong self-confidence.
"Then let's get started." He said as he stretched out his right hand, "55 GP per person, thank you."
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
He took out the devil's parchment and said with a smile: "I want to cast a spell. The material cost is 450 GP. Do you want me to do it alone?"
"Damn, it's just blackmail." Half Apple shook his head and helplessly piled the gold coins in front of Xiao Fen. At the same time, he looked at the pitiful-looking wrought iron and stupid wild rocks beside him, and sighed.
Said: "What belongs to them is also mine."
Wrought iron's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stammered: "Huh, just...even if you bribe me, I...I won't feel...grateful, ugh, my eyes are filled with sand."
Then Yun and the three girls also paid their own money, and Ke'er even complained while paying: "It's true, a poor girl like me doesn't have a gentleman to help pay. It's really sad!" After hearing this, she was like
The sad sigh, the little girl and the quiet snow are both funny.
Xiao Fen shook his head and immediately started to cast 'Understanding Legend'. This spell allows people to roughly understand the legend about a person, a thing or a place. Although it is more practical, it is also expensive. The material fee of 450GP is not personal.
It's affordable. It's worth mentioning that this is a level six spell. He needs to rely on the devil's parchment to cast it. Of course, paying 16 life points is inevitable.
"Sosk, male, 23 years old, adventure NPC, level 12 thief/level 1 mage, lives at No. 13, 44 Xiu Road Street or No. 23 Paper Roller Alley, slum area of Dragon City, usually active in
The slums and dock areas are related to an organization called the Manulf Brotherhood." After a while, he listed the information he had 'seen'.
"That's all?" Although he said this, Wrought Iron still looked at Xiao Fen in surprise. In his opinion, it seemed that the mage's ability was close to omnipotent.
"Of course, if you want to listen...for example, he is left-handed, and his usual weapon is a +4 Thorn of Lunso. The dagger is often tempered with paralyzing poison. He usually wears a crew coat with a
Wear a piece of +2 magic leather armor." Xiao Fen continued.
"Is there anything else?" The little girl also became interested.
Xiao Fen glanced at her jokingly, and suddenly had the idea of teasing this cute little princess, so he smiled slightly and said, "Yes, are you interested?"
"Yes!" The little girl nodded heavily, but Ke'er behind her looked at Xiao Fen like a big bad wolf kidnapping Little Red Riding Hood.
"Sosk usually likes to wear a pair of colorful shorts, and..." Xiao Fen said while trying to search for memories, but the little girl suddenly blushed and glared at Xiao Fen hatefully.
Talk again.
Half Apple stepped in at this time, "Lao Pa, the Manlf Brotherhood you just mentioned... this should be the force behind it, but what does it do?"
Xiao Fen shook his head, "I don't know this, don't look at me like that... You can only use Legend of Master once a week. Even if you have money, I can't help you."
"Then let's start with Sosk first. Mr. Mage, you said just now that this guy has three residences? Should we go and check separately?" At this time, Ke'er also entered the state and joined the ranks of 'decision-makers'
, although this Miss Ranger is usually carefree and smiling, she can turn into a very calm girl once the critical moment comes.
"Of course not. There are leaves of darkness in Dragon City that are eyeing us. Let's try not to separate." Xiao Fen thought for a moment and clapped his hands. "Actually, I have a better way. Well, use a small spell.
"
As he spoke, he chanted obscure incantations to summon a black chaotic creature. After casting two spells in a row, he pointed at the creature a little tiredly and explained: "This guy can answer one of my questions, but he can only
Can answer yes or no with more than 75% accuracy."
"This spell is..." Half Apple seemed to have seen this spell before, "Flash of True Knowledge?"
Xiao Fen nodded.
"Hey, but brother bad guy, you can only ask one question, right? There are three houses in Sosk, brother stupid, this method won't work!" The little girl finally seized the opportunity to ridicule Xiao Fen, and of course she would not miss it.
"You don't need to worry about this. The mountain man has his own clever plan." He smiled slightly.
"Spellcaster who summoned me to come here, what questions do you have?" the chaotic creature asked in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Fen thought for a while and asked: "There is a thief in this area named Shusk who serves the Manlf Brotherhood. Is he currently at No. 13 Xiulu Street or No. 44 Xiulu Street? If it is No. 13 Xiulu Street, answer yes
, if it is No. 44 Xiulu Street, please answer no." Of course, another potential answer is that if the chaotic creature cannot answer this question, it means that Sosk is now at No. 23 Paper Roller Alley. (PS
:This is the so-called cheating question.)
Everyone was at a loss, thinking that yes or no could also be answered like this...
"Yes." After a while, the chaotic creature replied in a hoarse voice, and then disappeared into a wisp of smoke.
Half Apple stared blankly at Xiao Fen, with the word 'admiration' barely written in his eyes.
…………
At No. 13 Xiulu Street, Xiao Fen and others broke in directly, but the messy scene in the house made them frown. Something they had to face was placed in front of them - murder and silence!**
Sosk died in his own home with his upper body naked. There were several wounds on his back, a wound on his chest, and a wound on his neck. The blackened blood covered the entire floor, and the body gave off a slight stench.
Half Apple narrowed his eyes and pushed the cold corpse with his hand. "The stabbing in the back is very likely done by someone familiar... Of course, I said it is very likely, not absolute. In addition, it is very likely that someone was stabbed in the back."
The most serious wound did not kill this guy, he fought back, but he died in the end."
"Damn it! What should we do now? This task is really troublesome!" Wrought Iron scratched his head. For him, the task of breaking down doors and killing people was the most suitable for him.
Xiao Fen shrugged, "Don't look at me, I'm not omnipotent." As he said that, he trimmed his hair, as if to straighten out his messy thinking. "There is a retrospective vision in the ninth-level prophecy that is useful in this situation.
Unfortunately, I can’t.”
"That's not nonsense!" Wrought Iron snorted.
At this time, a crisp voice came over, "There are four people, three of them have light footsteps, they are probably agility characters, and one person is wearing iron-soled leather boots, and his footsteps are heavy, and he should be a strength class." Faced with everyone's surprise.
Looking at her, Ke'er smiled slightly, "We can't always let you boys take the limelight. We girls are actually very good at playing games."
As she said that, she looked at the surrounding walls, pointed to a scratch and said: "The mark caused by a heavy-duty two-handed sharp weapon. This weapon should be very long, otherwise it would not scratch the wall. If I guessed correctly...
This should be the weapon of that power profession."
"Ke'er, can you trace these footprints?" Xiao Fen was delighted.
Ke'er gently brushed the black hair on her temples behind her ears and said confidently: "Of course, expert tracking expertise, reconnaissance skill level 20, search skill level 20, wild survival level 20... In Lanlos, I can
Known as the strongest tracker!" (PS: Let’s talk about the unique expertise levels in Canaan: Apprentice, Craftsman, Expert, Master, and Grandmaster 5 levels.)
"Damn! It's all full value!" Everyone was at a loss again.
"Of course, compared to our Mr. Mage who made things out of nothing, I'm actually a little behind!" Ke'er smiled coquettishly and shook her finger. (Based on Ke'er's level 5 character level, her own skill level of 20 is the full value.)
At this time, Xiao Fen turned his attention to the smiling Half Apple. Now he felt that Apple was more and more mysterious. Although this guy, although on the surface, he was just a group of people gathered based on his level, on the surface, this group of people was all
He was a newcomer with almost nothing except his level, but after being together for so long, Xiao Fen realized for the first time that none of his friends around him were simple people.
So, to gather such a small team of half an apple, could he simply be lucky enough to bring everyone together?
