"Isn't this an open secret a long time ago?" Jiang Feng raised the corners of his lips, not hiding his sarcasm, "If it weren't for the incompetence of the police in the city, how could the detective agency you and Rogge jointly run exist?
Business can be done.”
Gao Fei sighed.
I really couldn't bear to see this originally happy family being destroyed by evil forces, and I couldn't bear to see an upright police officer forced to bow to gangsters who had no bottom line, so he took the initiative to break the oppressive silence in the room.
"Mr. Gordon, if you trust me and my companions, you might as well let us try and maybe we can save William."
"Mr. Wayne, to tell you the truth, I actually have such a plan!"
Mr. Gordon stood up and held Gao Fei's hand with a complicated expression.
"If you rescue William, I will reward you heavily! If you fail, there is no need to force it. I will pay the ransom to the kidnappers and resign as the police chief of Coastal City."
Hearing what he said, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel sad.
Either be a competent father or a competent police officer.
When he couldn't balance the two, Mr. Gordon finally made a difficult choice:
In order to save his son's life, he did not hesitate to give up his career!
Accepting this heavy commission, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin left Gordon's house.
It was already dark at this time, and all three of them were very tired.
So I decided to go back and rest first.
We will gather at the church early tomorrow morning, first seek advice from Father Gallup, and then go to the trading place designated by the kidnappers - Bear Valley.
After discussing tomorrow's itinerary, the plot of this chapter is over.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng logged off together and found that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, so they hurried to Tiangong Restaurant for lunch.
Both of them were worried about the fate of the Gordon family. After hurriedly filling their stomachs, they returned to the dormitory, logged into the game, and advanced the follow-up plot of "Port City".
The time in the game has come to the early morning of the next day.
As soon as it got dark, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin came to the church to meet with Father Gallup to discuss strategies to rescue the hostages.
After listening to his niece describe the plight of the Gordon family, Father Gallup nodded thoughtfully, opened his desk drawer, and took out a crystal ball with a base and a pair of dice.
He first grabbed the dice in his hand, poured magic power into it, threw it on the table, and divined William Gordon's bad luck.
When the dice is settled, the one facing upward is 3 o'clock.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Martin asked Gao Fei in a low voice.
Gao Fei was very familiar with divination by casting dice, so he explained softly:
"The higher the number of dice, the better the divination result will be."
"3 o'clock means that William's situation is more dangerous, but at least he is still alive and has not been voted out."
"That's good, that's good!" Martin breathed a sigh of relief.
The priest lit his pipe, sat at his desk, and began to use the "detection technique" on the crystal ball, trying to locate William James's current location and check his condition.
"Science" is a so-called "ritual spell". It must be equipped with a crystal ball, a mirror or a water basin as a magic weapon, and the casting process is very long, taking at least ten minutes.
Gao Fei was waiting patiently and suddenly remembered something.
Father Gallup can cast 4th level magic, so his spellcasting level must be at least 9th level.
With a trace of curiosity, he opened the astrolabe and quietly investigated the priest's background.
The result was not surprising.
The system displays "Temporarily unable to detect high-level NPCs." It can only be seen that the priest is a level 11 "Temple Raider".
Gu Tsumugi
Ten minutes later, the spell casting ceremony was successfully completed.
The crystal ball emits light like water waves, reflecting a clear image on the table.
Through the crystal ball, Gao Fei and others saw a large iron cage placed against the wall in the dim room.
The side of the iron cage against the wall is firmly fixed by chains.
Each iron fence is as thick as an adult's thumb.
The intervals between the fences are so narrow that only an upright palm can pass through.
A young boy wearing a school uniform with a bruised nose and swollen face huddled in an iron cage, pursed his lips tightly, showing a stubborn face, and held a sheathed rapier that emitted a slight light with both hands.
"That child is Mr. Gordon's eldest son, William James."
Jiang Feng said softly to Gao Fei and Martin.
"I met William once at the Lucas family dinner, it's unmistakable."
"It's strange that this kid still has a sword in his hand." Martin muttered in confusion, "Why didn't the kidnapper seize his weapon?"
"That's unknown." Jiang Feng shrugged and shook his head, "Perhaps from the kidnapper's point of view, even if William had a sword in his hand, he would not be able to escape from the prison, let alone have the courage to commit suicide."
Gao Fei remained silent and secretly noted this doubt in his mind, making sure it was not related to any hidden plot.
At this time, the priest turned around and made two suggestions to the young people.
At the same time, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received prompts popping up from the system.
In the following plot route, two branch options appear:
a route:
Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin entered Bear Valley from the front, claiming to pay the ransom on behalf of the Gordon family and trying to hold off the kidnappers.
Father Gallup took the opportunity to sneak into the bandits' den from behind and rescue William James.
Route b:
Rejecting the priest's assistance, Gao Fei and others split into two groups. Two of them lured the enemy from the front, while the other sneaked in from the rear to rescue the hostages.
…
Obviously, Route A is relatively simple and easier to achieve perfect clearance conditions.
Father Gallup, a high-level NPC, personally goes to the scene and can 100% rescue William.
The three protagonists lure the enemy head-on, and can easily complete the task with a little delay.
On the contrary, route B is much more dangerous!
For the two-person customized module, foreign aid is not allowed to enter.
The manpower of the protagonist group is already very tight, and they have to work separately, which is very stressful. If you are not careful, you will have to load the game and restart the game.
However, there is no free lunch in the world. If you choose the easier route A, you will have to pay a corresponding price:
The priest's help is not in vain. He will take half of the remuneration he received in this chapter and the trophies captured from fighting monsters and use it to help the poor.
If you choose route b, Gao Fei and others will be able to keep all the rewards and loot. The priest will not directly participate in the battle, but will provide supplies instead.
Is there any need to hesitate?
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, one is a crazy prostitute and the other is a money-savvy man, of course they must firmly choose route B!
"Children, you have chosen a more difficult path. Regardless of success or failure, your courage deserves praise."
Father Gallup was very satisfied with the choices made by Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, wishful thinking that these two young people had the courage to face challenges and accept difficult tests, showing their noble qualities.
