"Well, actually, the countdown to this side mission started when you agreed." kp Snail said happily.
"What?!" Yin En said in shock, "I don't want you to play like this, brother KP, how can you buy and sell by force in this line mission?"
kp Snail chuckled and said: "Haha, I'm just joking with you. I'm not the kind of kp (referring to the author) who has a bad taste. I think about how to cheat the PC all day long, so this side mission
You can give me a reply before midnight tomorrow at the latest, and you can freely choose whether to accept this side mission."
Hearing kp Snail said this, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting with the old man for a few more words, Liu Xing and others sent the old man away.
After seeing him off, Yin En couldn't wait to say: "What do you think? Should we help the old man find his grandson? Although there is a little less information about his grandson, it is still easy to find someone in this Internet age.
It's easy, as long as he is not in the public faction's territory, we can get a benefit for nothing."
"But the problem is that this old man still has a group of enemies outside, so there is no guarantee that his enemies have already targeted the safe, and we may still be ambushed by then." Liu Xing said seriously.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu and the other two happened to come back.
And Zhang Jingxu also had an ancient book in his hand.
Sure enough, this is also a thread-bound book... Although this is a bit unhistorical, it is very Cthulhu.
But the focus now is not on the "Essential Art of Peace", so after Yin En briefly introduced the side mission to Zhang Jingxu and the others, he applied for secret room time.
"As kp just said, this is a high-risk, high-yield side mission. From the severe failure penalty, you can see how generous the rewards of this side mission will be, but as a limited-time mission, its difficulty is
I don’t need to say more about how high it is." Zhang Jingxu frowned and said, "Judging from the current situation, the difficulty of this side mission is time, because when we officially carry out this side mission, we will only have about ten days.
Time is running out, and within these ten days we need to find someone for whom there is very little information available."
"And if nothing else, I suspect that this Liu Xuyu is probably not an ordinary college graduate. He will most likely engage in a special profession. It is difficult for us to track his whereabouts using normal means, because I used to
I encountered a similar module. At that time, I needed to track the action route of an NPC to determine the whereabouts of something. It turned out that the NPC was a hacker and hacked all the cameras along the way, so I and other
One can only ask people along the way to find him."
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "This may indeed be the first difficulty we need to face. After all, after we find Liu Xuyu, we can directly open the safe, and then we have completed this side mission, so this
The side mission cannot allow us to find him so easily; of course, this cannot be the only difficulty of this side mission. After all, this cannot be a simple missing person mission, so after we find Liu Xuyu, there should be another
Two battles, such as with the old man’s enemy... But then again, it seems we haven’t asked the old man’s name and origin, right?”
"Uh, it seems I haven't asked this question yet." Yin En rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
Liu Xing sighed, shrugged and said: "Okay then, I will go to Matt later to find out the origin of this old man. This will help us make a better choice. If he is just a member of a small sect,
Leader, then his enemies should not be much stronger, and if his enemies happen to be members of our Wu family faction, we will have one less thing to worry about."
Because they have used the secret room time too many times in Blackstone Mountain Prison, the number of secret room times that Liu Xing and others can use is now running out, so the time in the secret room for Liu Xing and others ended without renewal.
After all, there is nothing to discuss in this matter, because Liu Xing and others believe that this side mission can be divided into two stages - first, to find people, and then to face possible snipers.
Although there may be some difficulties in finding people, the behemoth of the Wu family faction is standing behind Liu Xing and others, so there should be no problem in using the power of the Wu family faction to find Liu Xuyu. At most, it will only cost one or two more.
It's only a day's time...although this time is still very precious.
But the only variable here is that Liu Xuyu is no longer in Tokushima Prefecture in Shikoku, but has gone to live in the territory of the public faction. Then Liu Xing and others will have to go deep into the enemy camp, and the second stage will become more difficult by then.
.
As for the second stage of this side mission, there are many variables. First of all, how many enemies the old man has, what is the strength of those enemies, and whether those enemies are eyeing the safe.
You must know that the reward for this side mission is the contents of the safe, so Liu Xing and others know that the contents of the safe are definitely priceless treasures, so the old man's enemies are most likely already eyeing the safe.
, but due to some reasons, those people did not dare to take it away by force or open the safe on their own, so they could only wait for the opportunity in secret.
Liu Xing is now looking for Mette to determine the enemies he may face in the second phase. This is also an important factor in Liu Xing and others' decision whether to accept this side mission.
Fortunately, as a ghoul, Mate is in very good health and has regained his energy after only sleeping for a few hours, so Liu Xing does not need to imitate a big-eared celebrity with the same surname and stand outside the house waiting for Mate to wake up.
.
After listening to Liu Xing's story, Matt touched his chin and said: "I remember that the old man used a pseudonym when he entered Blackstone Mountain Prison, and his experience seemed to be made up, so I was curious and asked him specifically.
I went to investigate the old man's information and found that the old man's background is really quite big, his name is Ii Naoraku."
"He is from the Jing Yi family?!" Liu Xing said in surprise.
Met nodded and said: "Yes, he is a descendant of the Ii family during the Warring States Period. Because his family has been an important pillar of the Tokugawa shogunate for generations, the Ii family has always been a powerful family in the island country. I
At that time, I really didn’t expect that the old man would be a direct descendant of the Jingyi family, but this was probably the reason why the old man changed his name and falsified his experience. After all, his actions had brought shame to the family, so the Jingyi family didn’t want it to happen.
He became a stain on the family."
"Back to the topic, the reason why Ii Naoraku left the family that year was actually because he refused the political marriage arranged for him by the family and chose to marry a girl from an ordinary background. Moreover, the girl was from a single-parent family, and her father had passed away a long time ago.
She suddenly disappeared because she joined a secret church, so the Ii family will definitely not recognize this girl, but Ii Naole also has a bad temper, and has not had any contact with the Ii family since then."
"Soon Ii Naoraku's wife became pregnant. Because Ii Naoraku lost the support of his family and was penniless, the couple had no choice but to leave the big city and return to their hometown. At this time, Ii Naoraku found
He read the notes left by his father-in-law who had never met him, and it was for this reason that Ii Naoraku chose to abandon his wife and daughter shortly after the birth of his daughter, and joined the secret church where his father-in-law belonged."
"The name of the secret church is called the Supreme God Society. It is impossible to verify the specific mythical creatures they believe in. After all, before Ii Naoraku became the leader, the secret church was just a small and transparent church with only two people.
Thirty people; but after Ii Naoraku became the leader, the secret church began to develop rapidly, and Ii Naoraku became a famous archmage in the island country at that time. Of course, the most important thing is that Ii Naoraku was very ruthless!"
"At that time, the Supreme Church of God was located in the northwest corner of Hokkaido. As a result, it didn't take long for Ii Naoraku to wipe out all other secret churches in the entire Hokkaido region without leaving any survivors. Therefore, other secret churches in the island country organized to deal with this
The unruly Ii Naoraku was of course unable to defeat the four-handed man with two fists. After losing most of his strength, he was sent to Blackstone Mountain Prison, and the Supreme God Society has since become the dust of history."
"But Liu Xing, you also know that the secret church in this island country is very intricate, so what Ii Naoley did in Hokkaido has made him many mortal enemies. These mortal enemies will send people into the Black Rock Mountain Prison almost every three to five times to assassinate Ii.
Naoraku, but the real purpose of these guys is to force Naoraku Ii to hand over the key and password to the safe."
"After all, Ii Naoraku is the secret church that has swept across the entire Hokkaido area, so Ii Naoraku's safe contains a large number of treasures. Even if it is called a treasure box, it is not an exaggeration. Therefore, many secret churches want to get that safe.
The contents are inside, but because Naoraku Ii set a trap in the safe, as long as the safe is opened through abnormal means, the safe will be reduced to nothing."
After listening to Ii Naole's story, Liu Xing finally understood the causes and consequences of this side mission.
Just when Liu Xing was about to say goodbye, Matt suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that the reason why Ii Naole was able to become a powerful magician in a short period of time is because of the belief in the Supreme God Society.
The target is actually an unknown Old Dominator. Liu Xing, you also know that there are numerous Old Dominators in our world, and although some of them are not well-known, their strength is considerable.
It is much worse than the old rulers we are familiar with, so Ii Naoraku probably gained great power by becoming the envoy of this old ruler."
Liu Xing frowned and asked: "Mate, do you mean that the old ruler behind Ii Naole is still paying attention to him?"
Met nodded and said seriously: "That's right, when I was confirmed to be the person in charge of this brewing center, the superiors told me to be open to Ii Naole. Not only did he directly appoint him as an employee of the brewing center, but also
I usually take more care of him. In the past, many people who came to trouble Ii Naoraku were sent away by me. The most important thing is that I was stopped by the superiors not long after I started investigating Ii Naoraku, so I have a reason.
I suspect that the old ruler behind Ii Naole is still secretly taking care of him, so Liu Xing and you must think carefully when making a decision."
"I understand." Liu Xing nodded hesitantly.
After returning to the prison cell, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu and others about Nao Le Ii's situation, "If nothing else happens, the safe that Nao Le Ii placed in Tokushima Prefecture should have been targeted by many secret churches.
, so we are likely to face attacks from multiple secret churches, but the most important thing is that this also involves an unknown Old One."
"This is very interesting. Logically speaking, if Ii Naoraku is really the envoy of a certain old ruler, then he should be able to leave Blackstone Mountain Prison at any time, so there is no need for him to ask us to help with this, so I
I feel that Naoraku Ii most likely intends to use us as bait to attract the attention of other secret churches," Ding Kun guessed.
Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said: "It is also possible that Ii Naole is preparing to kill all his enemies, because as long as we and Liu Xuyu open the safe, those monsters hiding in the dark will jump out and snatch the safe.
When they fight until both sides are injured, Ii Naoraku will be free to come out and clean up the mess."
"In that case, Ii Naoraku is planning to let us and his grandson die?" Yin En frowned and asked.
Zhang Wenbing shrugged and said with a smile: "Since Ii Naole can abandon his wife and newborn daughter, and has not seen his family for decades, then I think Ii Naole is not too bad.
Perhaps because of how much he values his grandson, I think Naoraku Ii most likely regards Liu Xuyu as a chess piece, and he is also the kind of discarded piece that can be used to gain an advantage at any time."
Ding Kun on the side nodded in agreement and said: "My opinion is the same as Zhang Wenbing's. In all likelihood, Ii Naoley wants to use us to lure the snake out of its hole, and in the end he can reap the benefits... So,
Please make your own choices."
Liu Xing and others looked at each other in shock and did not speak for a while.
