Mo Cheng, who landed ashore, groped for the direction to Severus Town. Although he didn't seem to have swam very far, in fact, there was still some distance.
Fortunately, the monsters here are not very densely distributed, otherwise Mo City might have spent more time. After all, the monsters here are all level 50.
Because they have never opened up wasteland, these monsters have bought some items and equipment for Mo City, but they are not of use for the time being. They are all goods for the warehouse, Mo Cheng thought to himself.
Passing by a meadow, the gate of the town is right in front of you.
The black gas had long disappeared, so Mo Cheng strode in without hesitation.
The surroundings were quiet, without any sound, except for the stone statues still erected everywhere telling Mo City that there were countless lives here just a few minutes ago. At this time, they have all become history.
"Aah, aah, aah!" A few crows suddenly flew over Mo Cheng's head, which aroused Mo Cheng's surprise. He didn't expect that there were crows here too.
As Mo Cheng walked, he recalled the location of the NPC who issued the mission in his previous life. Although he had heard about it in his previous life, he had never been there or done this mission, so his impression was still a bit vague.[
It seems that the NPC who issued the quest is in what store? Blacksmith shop? No, drug store? No, grocery store? No.
By the way, it’s a tailor shop!
Just when he thought of the tailor shop, Mo Cheng suddenly remembered someone he had forgotten, that Bard, the NPC who was rescued at sea, Bard. Could it be him?
Mo Cheng's thoughts suddenly became clear. If this was the case, it meant that the Bard was actually dead on the sea.
Otherwise, how could it be logical that he could escape the black gas? Or maybe he was carrying something extraordinary.
However, Mocheng still thinks that the test that Bard died before boarding the ship is more accurate, because the NPC who issued this mission is a ghost.
There was a tailor shop in front of him. Mo Cheng walked slowly and walked into the tailor shop with its door open. No one was in the shop. It seemed that he had to go into the backyard to take a look.
Turning a corner, Mo Cheng saw two stone statues, belonging to the couple, with a child in the arms of the seamstress. Seeing this scene, Mo Cheng showed a trace of pity on his face.
However, this expression disappeared in just an instant.
Mo Cheng was a little surprised that there was no sign of the Bard NPC. However, before he could look around, an old voice suddenly appeared.
"Young man, are you still alive?" Bud's figure flashed out from a corner and stood opposite Mo City.
Mo Cheng glanced at Bard floating in the air, and it turned out to be him.
"Yes, because my friend just left something at the dock, so I went to pick it up. Uncle Bud, what happened here?" Mo Cheng concealed the reason why he was still alive, and then asked about the situation in the town.
"Well, young man, I don't know either."
"Uncle Bud, you..." Mo Cheng didn't finish his words directly, but Bud already knew what he wanted to ask.[
This is the difference between high-IQ NPCs and other NPCs. Here, many NPCs are actually different from humans, but many players still regard NPCs as NPCs.
"I have been dead for a long time, young man. What you rescued at that time was just my body. Because of obsession, my soul did not leave the body. It was just this unknown black gas that completely destroyed my body.
It was corroded, so I had no choice but to leave my body." Bard said slowly with a sad tone.
Mo Cheng didn't answer the words, just looked at Bud quietly.
After a while, Mo Cheng finally said: "Uncle Bud, I'm sorry that I can't help you. I don't know if you have any unfinished business. Within my ability, I think I can help you."
Bud's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"Really? Young man? Are you really willing to help me?" Bard flew towards Mocheng. He stretched out his trembling hands to catch Mocheng, but he missed it. The sadness on his face was even worse.
.
"Yes, I am willing to help you, Uncle Bud." Mo Cheng said seriously.
"Then please help me find my granddaughter, young man." Uncle Bud said excitedly.
"System prompts: Do you want to accept the mission - to find Bard's granddaughter?"
"yes."
After accepting the task, Mo Cheng walked out of the tailor shop with Bud's immense gratitude.
At this time, he carefully opened the taskbar and checked for clues about the task.
Story mission: Find the ghost Bard’s granddaughter!
Ghost Bud comes from the village of Merk Mountain not far from the town of Severus. The life of a family of five has been worrying. Ever since a blood jade spider came nearby, everything has changed.
First, the poultry at home disappeared, and finally a few sheep that were used to feed the family were lost. This made Bard very worried, but because there was not enough money left to hire mercenaries to come and eliminate the monsters, this situation has always existed.
.
Until that day, when the granddaughter followed her father to the town of Severus to buy daily necessities, neither of them came back. Bud was very worried, so he went to look for it. Unexpectedly, the only thing he found was that his son had been eaten by jackals.
A corpse piece by piece.
The grief-stricken Bard discovered an even more painful fact: his granddaughter was also missing. His granddaughter's body was not found, but somehow, Bard always felt that his granddaughter was not dead.
Bard, who was grieving the loss of his son, collected some money and prepared to go to the town of Severus to hire mercenaries to help him. However, he encountered robbers on the way, and he begged but did not let the robbers let go of his few.
During the fight with the robber, Bud was knocked unconscious by the robber.
When Bud woke up, he was already lying on the boat on which Mo Cheng was riding.
This is the story of Bard. Now, Mocheng is going to the small village where Bard is located, Mokshan Village, to find clues about Bard's granddaughter.
In fact, judging from this situation, the chance of the granddaughter surviving is almost zero. As long as the clues to the granddaughter's death are found in Merk Mountain Village and handed over to Bud, the task will probably become to kill the blood jade spider.
Fortunately, I had supplies first when I came to Severus, otherwise I would have to look for supplies in other towns now.
At this time, it was noon, and the sun was very hot, but this did not affect the journey in Mocheng.
There were basically no monsters on the road to the small mountain village of Meke, which saved Mo Cheng a lot of trouble. After about two hours, Mo Cheng finally saw a thatched house. It seemed that the small village of Meke had arrived.
There are only about a dozen households in the small village of Merk. People are still walking around leisurely, completely unaware that Severus has undergone tremendous changes a few kilometers away.
Mo Cheng sighed, the news from these NPCs, especially these small closed villages, was not delivered very slowly.
The people in the village were a little surprised and surprised when they saw Mo Cheng's arrival. After all, almost no strangers had come to their village, let alone adventurers.
The villagers started pointing at Mo Cheng and talking about it, but Mo Cheng just smiled warmly.
Seeing Mo Cheng's smile, the chatter among the villagers subsided. A middle-aged man came out and asked, "Hello! Adventurer, what's the matter with you entering this village?"
When Mo Cheng saw someone asking about it, he didn't bother to inquire, so he said: "Hello, uncle. I passed by occasionally and heard that there is a blood jade spider here that is harassing you in your normal livelihood, so I wanted to take a look.
.I wonder if uncle can tell me the direction of where this blood jade spider is?"
"What? Blood Jade Spider, my God, is this adventurer dying?"
Hearing that Mo Cheng actually wanted to find the Blood Jade Spider, all the people who heard it began to show horrified expressions.
The middle-aged man also showed a fearful expression after hearing Mo Cheng's words: "Oh my God, adventurer, you'd better not go. That blood jade spider is not easy to mess with. We have also found a few mercenaries before.
Come to get rid of the blood jade spider, who knows...sigh..."
The middle-aged man sighed slightly, with a worried look on his face.
"Uncle, you mean, you have also hired mercenaries?" Mo Cheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this news, because he didn't learn anything like this from Bard.
Why was this one missed?
"Yes, adventurer. When the blood jade spider came to our small sunken slope, it took away all our livestock. To be honest, we relied on these livestock to support ourselves. Tell me,
A few were dragged away at once, and our lives were already under great threat."
When the middle-aged man said this, a trace of disgust appeared on his face.
"Later, we also thought, if we don't get rid of it, what should we do if one day it gets tired of eating livestock and attacks us? We all discussed it, pooled some money, and hired a few mercenaries."
"What happened next?" Mo Cheng asked hurriedly.
"Later, we never saw those mercenaries again. We also knew that something must have happened to them, but who dared to go and take a look? Besides, since then, the Blood Jade Spider seems to have stopped eating livestock.
We have never seen it, so we thought it was gone? But a few days ago, I saw it. Alas..."
"A small concave earth slope?" Mo Cheng muttered in a low voice.
"Adventurer, you'd better not think about killing the Blood Jade Spider. It's not easy to mess with. Think about it, we have already hired several mercenaries..." the middle-aged man advised kindly.
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Mo Cheng replied absently.
No longer eat livestock, the mercenary's body is gone, but the body of Bard's son is still there, and Bard's granddaughter is missing. Several clues appeared in Mo Cheng's mind, Mo Cheng always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't catch it
That's something wrong.
What's wrong?
Suddenly, the image of a three-tailed demon fox flashed in Mo Cheng's mind.
No, the blood jade spider must have advanced. The mercenary must have been eaten, but Bard's son didn't have much power, so the blood jade spider didn't eat it.
This is a bit troublesome. I still don’t know how many levels the Blood Jade Spider is, and it has advanced. It is definitely not easy to mess with. It is at least a level 45 boss.
Spiders are the creatures I hate the most. Mo Cheng thought lightly.
