"Oh, isn't this because my judgment failed badly? Otherwise, such a shameful situation wouldn't have happened."
Guan En shook his head and said: "But now I have confirmed that the innkeeper's small treasury is in that deep well, so I am going to rest for a while and wait until after midnight to go there again, but this time I have to be prepared in advance.
Lest you come to save me again."
Liu Xing nodded, looked at the moonlight outside the window and said: "Today's weather is pretty good, so you don't need to go into the well in the dark, but you still have to be careful. I doubt that the innkeeper will have a backup plan, because this deep well
Although it is hidden, if someone finds something hidden inside, the person can easily take it out as long as he is prepared; so I think the innkeeper should set up some more traps, such as push-type traps? As long as
When you pick up those gold and silver jewels, the well above your head will automatically close? So I mind if you check to see if there are any traps nearby before taking action."
"That's right, Guan En, you said that this mission is related to whether you can pass the introductory mission of Miaoshou Kongkongmen, so I think this mission is definitely not as simple as you think. I even suspect that the innkeeper is also a Miaoshou.
A member of the Kong Kong Sect, and this so-called small treasury is a trap set by the Miaoshou Kong Kong Sect!" Zuo Xin said seriously.
Guan En thought for a while, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Now that I thought about it carefully, I found that before I triggered the task of joining the Miaoshou Kongkongmen, I had actually completed an entry-into-the-house mission, and before I
The introduction of this character card also mentioned that I am a somewhat famous Liang Shangjunzi in Feihu City, so this mission may indeed be specially prepared for me by Miaoshou Kongkong! Because the information that the innkeeper has a small treasury is Miaoshou Kongkong.
The door offered it to me proactively, and I only knew that the innkeeper was a bit stingy, but I didn’t expect him to be so rich. After all, this inn is not the owner’s property alone.”
"If this is the case, I have to take back what I said before, that is, the reason why your feet slipped may not be an accident, but a trap prepared by Miaoshou Kongkongmen! Because this time the martial arts model
To put it bluntly, the group is also an ancient module, so the lifestyle of the NPCs is similar to that of the ancients. As long as they are not engaged in some special profession like Guan Enyou, then they will work at sunrise and rest at sunset, even if they take a shower
The bath will also be completed before and after dark, and it is unlikely to get up to take a shower in the middle of the night like me; so Miaoshou Kongkongmen knows when you will do it, so he adds something next to the deep well in advance, such as lard or something?
"
Liu Xing said seriously: "So you can check it when you go there later. If this is the case, you can point it out when facing the examiner who has nothing to say. I believe that doing so will allow you to get extra bonuses."
point."
"Well, I'll go over and check it out later."
Guan En nodded and said: "If this is the case, then I can go back to my examiner directly, because to put it bluntly, this is a trap set up. If I jump further, I will really be a fool! By the way.
, the headquarters of Miaoshou Kongkongmen is in another city, so if I pass the exam, I have to report there, but I should still have a few days of buffer time, so I can go to Tianshui Town to join the alliance first; but I am in Feihu City
There is also a courtyard inside, which contains some things that are not easy to sell, so if you don’t mind it, alliance leader, then I will give this courtyard and all the things in it to the alliance, so that the alliance can be regarded as having a presence in Feihu City.
A place to stay.”
Liu Xing is naturally open to all comers, because players in this martial arts module only have less than a year's "life", so they can really treat money as dirt.
"By the way, Alliance Leader, where is the Wangxiang Terrace you are talking about? My character card is well-informed in Feihu City, and I also have some knowledge about Boyang City where the alliance is located, but I really haven't heard anything about it.
Wangxiang Terrace, of course, I do know that there is a place called Wangxiang Terrace in the underworld, where people can see their family members again before reincarnation." Guan En said curiously.
Liu Xing smiled and said: "It seems that you are very unlucky. You have already found Feihu City and are reluctant to move the mouse. You must know that Wangxiang Terrace is near Boyang City, so we will
The birth point is in Boyang City."
"Well, how should I put it? After all, I had already chosen Feihu City at the beginning, so I didn't think about looking at the surrounding situation. However, since this Wangxiang Terrace is a special place, then inside
There should be some good things, right?" Guan En continued to ask.
"That's for sure. Think about the origins of the other special locations in the martial arts module this time. So we can be sure that the subsequent trip to Wangxiangtai can bring a lot of benefits, but the premise is that we have the ability
Explore Wangxiang Terrace! Because whether it is Boyang City or the nearby Far West City, we have not found a single clue about Wangxiang Terrace, not even a related folklore, so this means that Wangxiang Terrace is either
The man-made structures that have only appeared in recent years, either people have been concealing their existence, or the road to Wangxiangtai is as difficult as the Shu Road to the sky! If it is the latter, it is okay, if we are careful, there will be no problem
Yes, but if it is the former, it will be troublesome, because it means that we need to conflict with a mysterious organization."
Liu Xing frowned and said: "But now that we have the third prince as our backer, we have more choices! As long as we find that something is wrong, we can ask the third prince to intervene in the matter. In this way we can
Although you will suffer a bit of a loss, you won’t be unable to even take a sip of the soup, or you’ll lose both your wife and your army.”
"Ah? Leader, you put me under a lot of pressure just by saying that."
Guan En rubbed the back of his head and said: "Although I have some confidence in my ability with this character card, I don't have any hope for my current luck! Not only did I accidentally slip my foot today, but I also showed up two days ago.
I have experienced several failed judgments, but fortunately there were no major problems in those times, otherwise I would not be sitting here now; and if Wangxiang Terrace was the territory of a mysterious organization, then I might not have been able to get it in the past.
How long will it take to get caught, and then I will have no choice but to leave the game."
"That's why we need you to go to Miaoshou Kongkongmen for further training. If possible, we would still like your strength, but if you are not confident, then we can also find a way to invite your senior brothers or masters.
Help, and then all valuable things will belong to them. We players have no interest in money anyway." Liu Xing said with a smile.
"Well, that's a good idea. I don't think anyone who has an empty goal would refuse it, because this is a big deal." Guan En nodded.
Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, Guan En suddenly pointed at the Yehou statue Liu Xing put aside, or to be precise, the box containing the Yehou statue, and said: "By the way, leader, what is in your box?"
Something? If it is a more expensive item, I suggest you not pack it like this, because in the eyes of people like us, this box represents a valuable goal! After all, it can be packed in a wooden box of this size.
This thing is most likely an ornament?"
As soon as Guan En said this, Liu Xing also felt that the wooden box containing the Yehou statue seemed very valuable, even though the wooden box did not have too many decorations and seemed to be made of ordinary wood.
Moreover, Liu Xing thought about it for a while and found that if he was a person with ulterior motives, then when he saw someone else carrying such a wooden box with them, he would naturally think that the wooden box might contain a small or medium-sized ornament.
, and this ornament should be very valuable!
Because if this ornament is not valuable and is just an ordinary wood carving and clay sculpture, then there is no need to put it in a box and carry it with you! So this ornament must be at least somewhat valuable.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing broke into a cold sweat behind his back, because Liu Xing now realized that he had never paid much attention to the safety of the Yehou statue. After all, other players would be prompted when they encountered the Yehou statue, so
Lost interest in the Yehou statue, so before that Liu Xing subconsciously believed that the Yehou statue could not be lost, so every time he stayed in a certain place, he would put the Yehou statue aside casually.
When I left, I didn’t even think of moving the Night Roar statue to another place.
If this trip to Liangcheng hadn't been a long trip, Liu Xing wouldn't have packed it in a wooden box.
So before Guan En spoke, Liu Xing really didn't realize that the Yehou statue would attract the attention of NPCs, and some NPCs might actually "take" the Yehou statue away!
You must know that this Night Howl statue has a certain deterrent effect on players, but it is a valuable ornament for NPCs, and if they know that this Night Howl statue is made by a famous artist, then there will be more
The NPC heard the sound and came.
If the Yehou statue disappears by then, then Liu Xing will really cry no matter how much he cries.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly said: "There is indeed a very valuable statue in this wooden box, but its theme is quite special. It is Nyarlathotep's clone-Yehou! So this statue is related to me.
It is related to an exclusive mission of the statue. If it is far away from me for a certain distance and time, then my exclusive mission will fail; but other players will receive a reminder when they touch this statue, so even if they take it away
It’s useless at all, so I really didn’t pay too much attention to this statue before, because I had forgotten that the NPC might be tempted by it.”
While Liu Xing was talking, Zuo Xin brought the wooden box over with great discernment and asked Guan En to touch the Yehou statue.
After getting the prompt, Guan En nodded and said: "I see, leader, you really don't need to worry about players taking it away, because there is no benefit at all in taking it away, but I can be sure that my NPC colleagues are seeing
When you see this statue, you will definitely be tempted! After all, the carver of this statue is a master-level handiwork at first glance, and the material of this statue does not look like a common metal, so Alliance Leader, you must not take this statue casually in the future.
Display it to prevent some NPCs from using their brains! However, the theme of this statue is indeed a bit evil for NPCs, so you don’t need to worry too much even if you lose it, because it should be quite difficult to sell.”
"Yes, the three of us are from Dongyang in the real world, and Dongyang is also a famous home of wood carving in China, so I remember that when I was a child, many of my classmates' families were engaged in wood carving related industries, so I heard them say
The starting price for selling wood carvings depends not only on the craftsmanship of the carver, but also on choosing the right subject matter! Two similar pieces of wood, carved by the same carver in the same time, may be different.
The price difference is about double because of the different carving themes! For example, happy themes such as flowers blooming and wealth are more valuable than ordinary flowers, birds, fish and insects."
Zuo Xin nodded and said: "As for this Yehou statue, although the workmanship and materials are not simple at first glance, the subject matter is a bit beyond the understanding of the NPCs in this module, or even if it is placed
In the real world, if people who don’t understand the Cthulhu Mythos evaluate this Night Roar statue, they may only think that the sculptor’s craftsmanship is good, but they won’t buy it if they have money.”
"But in any case, leader, you also know that wealth should not be revealed, so it is better not to put this Yehou statue in a wooden box. In other words, you have to be more careful in the future and don't let others see this wooden box."
Guan En touched his chin and continued: "Of course, if I were to give my opinion from a professional perspective, I think you can buy a cloth bag, and then put the Yehou statue in it, and then put some more
Things like branches, so that from the outside it looks like a bag of branches! Of course, you can also put some other fillings, in short, it will not look like it."
Liu Xing nodded, and then Zuo Xin put the Yehou statue back into the wooden box, "Well, if you hadn't reminded me this time, Guan En, I might have cried without tears in the future! So.
..”
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.
Liu Xing subconsciously looked towards the direction where the sound came from, and could see the faint beating light of the fire through the window.
Is this a fire?
Liu Xing stood up and pushed open the window, only to find that there were already flames not far away.
