Chapter 46 Autrey San Catchipole Village

At this moment, the Thestral pulling the cart began to slow down and slowly approached the ground.

Rosie looked through the car window, and a brightly lit village slowly came into her eyes.

Apparently that was the village of Ottery St. Catchpole they were going to.

Ottery St. Catchpole Village is backed by the Peria Mountains. It is a village where wizards and Muggles live together, and it is also one of the novice villages in the game.

Getting off the Thestral carriage that could only be parked outside the village gate, Rossi, who suddenly felt the cold wind blowing towards her face, hurriedly took out the winter cloak and wrapped it around her body, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "It's so cold here at night. !"

"The temperature here is indeed a little lower than that in downtown Blantania."

Abo smiled and said, "It's actually better now. After all, winter is coming to an end. If it's deep winter, it's really cold here. At the most exaggerated time, the temperature can be as low as minus [-] degrees."

"That's really cold!"

Irene answered, "Fortunately, I chose the ghost race, so I don't need to go through this kind of environmental change."

"Twenty degrees below zero?"

Hearing this, Rossi couldn't help but gasp, "It's so cold, the players in this novice village don't have a good winter."

"Yes, so I seldom come back here afterwards."

Abe said with some nostalgia.

back?Could it be that Abo was born in this Xinshou Village?Rossi keenly noticed the words he spoke, and asked the other party questions while muttering in his heart.

Abo looked back from the gate of the village, and smiled slightly: "Yes, when I first entered the game, the birth point was chosen randomly, so I just came here."

"Then don't you know this place very well?"

Hearing this, Irene turned her eyes to Rossi in surprise, "Sister Xixi, it seems that with Abo here, the difficulty of your conversion to a full-time job has been directly reduced by half."

After hearing Irene's words, Abo puffed up his chest and was about to boast, but he heard Aileen continue to say: "At least I won't go the wrong way!"

"Okay, are you taking me, the number one explorer in the rank list, as your tour guide?"

Abo complained, then turned to Rossi and said, "Has your regularization mission started?"

"Not yet, it should be going into the village."

Rossi took out Geselda's secret letter from the inventory, and walked towards the gate of the village while watching whether the contents of the letter had changed.

"Ding, trigger the task of becoming a full-time agent - Geselda's secret order, do you accept it?"

"Mission Description: Investigate rumors about the Deathly Hallows in the village of Ottery San Catchpole without actively mentioning the Deathly Hallows. Current mission completion: 0%."

The moment Rossi stepped into the village of Ottery San Catchpole, the sound of system prompts came to the three people's ears at the same time.

"Huh? Is this gone?"

Irene, who was waiting for the system to provide other information, looked at the task panel and found that there was only this sentence on the panel, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

"Don't give me any other clues? And ask not to mention the Deathly Hallows? This task is too difficult!"

Abo raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "There are some hints for advanced tasks in the game that are very cryptic, or even have no hints at all. Players have to explore everything by themselves. You will get used to it when you get in touch with it more in the future."

"Actually, there are no hints at all."

Rossi said in a soft voice,

"The content in the mission description has already limited the scope of the mission to this village. Now we only need to find the NPC side in this village to inquire about the rumors about the Deathly Hallows. The more information we collect, the better the mission will be completed." The higher the degree, the higher the degree. This should be a relatively common type of agent identity task, but this task gives fewer hints."

"Inquire from the side?"

"Just ask the NPCs if anything weird has happened in this village recently."

"That's right!"

Irene clapped her hands suddenly, "Then what should we do now?"

Hearing Irene's question, Rossi's eyes turned to look at Abo.

"Don't look at me, this is your professional task, how to do it, you are more professional than me."

Abo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, spread his hands and said.

"I don't mean to ask you what to do, I'm just not sure if you're a professional tour guide."

Speaking of this, Rossi continued with a chuckle, "At this point in time, there should be the most NPCs in the bar, and there are mixed fish and dragons there, which is suitable for us to inquire about news."

"A bar."

Abo, recalling the route, stopped at the entrance of the village and looked at it for a while, pointing to a path paved with turquoise stone bricks on the right and said, "It will be faster to walk here than to take the main road."

Looking in the direction Abo pointed, I saw three-story stone brick houses built in a row, and the bluestone path less than two meters was built in the gap between these houses and the outer wall of the village.

After walking a distance of about 100 meters, the road turned into a fork at the corner. From the map, one path continues along the village’s outer wall and leads directly to the Peria Mountains behind the village; the other is wider and leads to Right in the middle of the village.

The Double Ax Bar is located along the street leading to the center of the village. Two crossed axes are carved on the wooden signboard swaying in the wind. A thick curtain made of coarse cotton covers the door, protecting the guests in the bar from the cold outside.

When Rossi noticed the Double Axe Bar, Irene had already lifted the curtain and pushed open the door of the bar.

Strong alcohol mixed with the smell of tobacco rushed towards Rossi's face, and in the next second, loud cheers and the sound of wine glasses colliding reached Rossi's ears.

"Heh, the sound insulation effect is a bit unreal."

Rossi complained secretly in her heart, straightened the cloak to make it fluffy again, and then walked in behind Irene.

There was a middle-aged man standing inside the door of the bar. Seeing the three of Rossi coming in, he glanced sharply at the wand bags at the waist of the three of them, then pointed to the inside of the bar and said in a flat tone:
"Welcome to the Double Axe Bar. The bar is in the center of the bar. Please help yourself."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, it was the time when the bar guests were full and drunk.

With just a quick glance, I saw many NPCs passed out in front of the wine table.There are still many sober ones, holding glasses full of flame whiskey in their hands, talking loudly with their friends.

From just looking at the clothes, Rosie has already noticed that there are many wizards and Muggles drinking at the same table.

"This village is really mixed up!"

Thinking of Godric's Hollow, the novice village where she was born, which was composed entirely of wizards, Rosie couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Not in a hurry to follow Irene Arbor to the center of the bar, Rossi took out the detective's ID and gave the middle-aged man a look, then used his cross-examination skills and said:

"Hello, I'm an agent from the Ministry of Magic. Has anything special happened in the village recently?"
