The Age of Machines

Chapter 774 Mission
Ten seconds passed.

Quinn finally sat up from the ground.He didn't get up immediately, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about.Beixi and the others couldn't see what he was thinking, so they could only let him do this. After all, they hadn't figured out the NPC's temper. If they acted rashly and angered him, they would not be able to get the task.

It didn't take long to wait.

Quinn looked up at them slowly, and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are just adventurers." Tanuki replied.

Quinn pursed his lips, he obviously didn't believe it.I always feel that the people in Beixi are very powerful, and they must have their purpose in entering this relic.Quinn couldn't guess what purpose these people entered with, but he knew that this might be an opportunity.He stopped dwelling on this question and said instead: "You guys are defeated, feel free to ask me anything you want. I have always respected the strong."

Now Quinn looks very friendly.

"Let's talk about Renault first." The few people didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with him, and they wanted to solve the unresolved doubts before going straight to the point.Renault gave them the task, and they did "kill" Quinn, the task is now displayed as completed.

But Quinn seems to have other tasks here.

"Why did Lei Nuo say that the Flying Eagle Jungle belongs to his territory, but you occupied that area and expelled him?"

Although they already guessed that Raynor was lying to trick them into killing Quinn.Originally, after discovering that Quinn had a very high IQ, everyone knew that he had a mission on him. They wanted to get the mission by being able to talk to him, so as to avoid fighting, and also avoid being deceived by Renault. The task for cannot be accepted.

But it seems that if Quinn wants to get the right to talk, he must fight him.

Quinn might have expected them to ask that.

"Renault was sealed there by me." Quinn pursed his lips and said. "It stole my treasure, and I found it and bound it to the wall."

"You can directly expel it from this area." Why bother to seal Renault, and even say that he can be killed directly.It's just an elite monster. As the boss of the ruins, Quinn is naturally stronger than Renault. This approach cannot be understood by everyone.

Quinn's eyes darkened, "This is related to the law of people's survival, and any creature on this island must abide by it."

bring up the law.

Beixi also didn't understand.She never knew there was any law in the ruins. Could it be that only this ruin has this saying?Others don't know about it, or have never heard of it.

"We have no right to kill any life." Quinn said lightly. "All creatures living on Juling Island must abide by this law of peace, and those who violate it will be punished. Therefore, I just sealed it."

Law of peace?

"Who set this rule?" Ukiyo-e felt that it was necessary to get to the bottom of this issue.

There are very few ruins where there is a figure who dominates all living things.

The ruins are the treasure snow area left over from ancient times, and most of the bosses in this area survive on their own area.There will also be times when they compete for territory and fight each other.When the player is in the ruins, it is often very lucky to encounter this situation.The fight between snipe and clam is naturally the fisherman's benefit.

It was the first time they heard that there would be a law of non-killing in the ruins.

The corpses of the ruins are the most numerous places except the battlefield.And this is the place where the killing originated, and they were indeed extremely surprised when they heard about peace.Because of this, he became curious about the person who set the rules.

The fruit that Beixi is looking for must be extraordinary.The mechanical mother body has existed for a very long time, allowing molecules to evolve into the mother body, and the fruit called all things cannot be easily obtained or dropped from ordinary relic bosses.

Quinn shook his head, "I don't know."

This answer did not disappoint them. In fact, there was no hope in the beginning.After thinking about it, they already guessed that Quinn would answer like this.If it is easy to know who made the law, then it is too unreasonable.

What Quinn didn't know was a kind of hope for them.

"I have never left this island. But I know that there are other places besides this. I was just given the mission of guarding this place by the law." Quinn's tone was a little lonely and helpless. "I've been here as long as I can remember."

He had never left Juling Island, and the helplessness in his tone sent an obvious message to Beixi and the others.He wants to leave but is bound by the law.

They don't know if the boss can leave the ruins in the end, they only know that this is a mission point.Maybe Quinn took a fancy to this, so he took the initiative to talk to them.

"How did you know there are other places besides this?" Rashomon asked, grabbing this clue.

Quinn stood up and patted his sleeves. "When the third moon rises, there will be scenes from other places in the sky. That is called a "miracle". Whenever that time, there will always be a voice in my head. He told me: To hold the Juju Spirit Island, guard Juling Island." Quinn looked in a trance, and those pupils without pupils were even more lifeless.

He was caught in a vortex of memories.

Everyone pondered his words and began to lower their heads to think.

After a while, Quinn asked again: "How did you get in?"

"The entrance was discovered by chance."

He sighed: "I always thought that this place can only be entered but not exited. I have seen many human beings set foot here, but in the end." He paused, "They all died on the island."

Quinn hesitated when he said it. Everyone knew the "cause of death" and didn't dwell on it.Ukiyo-e asks the important question, "When is the third moon rising?"

Quinn: "It's today."

"At night?" Lollipop frowned.

Are they going to stay here till night?Wouldn't that be a waste of time.The original plan was to enter the ruins for a general search, and leave as soon as possible if there is no result. There is not much time left in Beixi.

They all looked at Beixi.

Beixi thought for a while, "Maybe we are still at the edge of this ruin." They haven't even stepped into the depths, and this unknown ruin may be much more mysterious than they thought.

Beixi has seen many relics, most of which have different styles, but this is the first time he has seen such relics divided into spaces.

This juling island is still very big, they just stayed in the fringe area.

"Then stay till night."

"If you can't find the fruit, wouldn't it be a waste of half a day." The civet cat thinks that they can find the teleportation array leading to the next place in other places on the island, and don't need to spend time waiting until night to confirm what Quinn said Is the thing they are looking for is the portal they are looking for, or is it a crucial clue.

There are too many uncertain factors, and they don't have time to wait.Originally, this relic came here only with the mentality of trying, and the clues given by the mission were almost equal to zero. Whether Beixi and the others found the wrong place is still an unknown question.

"Beibei, I also agree with Sister Tanuki." Lollipop said.

They were just worried about not being able to keep up with the task time for Beixi.And that fruit is not only related to Beixi's mission, but also the entire Karans, or the future of the entire prosperous age.The gate of the abyss is the biggest threat now.The siege players in the past few days fought very hard. If they did not find the fruit, then it is conceivable that when the gate is broken by the dark force, Karans will become the first country to become a dark prison.

Their favorite city of Bremen will also be destroyed.

Don't want to see too much, and time is of the essence to them anyway.Don't want to waste any more!

Nord Stream knows the urgency of time.

She is also hesitating.

Wei Shengmo said softly, "You only need to do what you want, and you don't need to worry too much."

Listening to their conversation, Quinn was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You really came here for a purpose."

Everyone stopped talking suddenly.

Accidentally seems to have exposed their purpose.Just now, he still told him that he entered this place by chance.

The civet cat opened its mouth, then lowered its head and covered its face in shame.She has her moments of negligence after all.When talking, I forgot that Quinn is a high-IQ NPC, and he understands everything they say.

Unlike some NPCs, once they leave the conversation, they will be like wood, and they will not understand what the players are talking about.

Others don't blame her either.

Anyway, most of them are not in favor of accepting Quinn's mission to waste the little time they have left.They can go straight to other places on the island to search.

Maybe there is a teleportation portal that Quinn doesn't even know about.Of course, maybe in other places, there are some secret channels that can open the way to other places.

There are always many choices for players in a task.

In the game, players are not limited to one way to complete the task.

Sometimes the novel experience is the reason for players to stay in this game.

Now that the words have come to an end, Beixi and the others don't intend to hide it.For this kind of IQ NPC, concealing it will only make his favorability drop.Beixi and the others still want to stay on the island to search, but they don't want to be directly expelled by Quinn, who is the guardian.

"Yes, we are indeed here to seek something." Beixi said. "That thing is extremely important to the human world. We didn't come here for our own selfishness. I also assure you that apart from what we are looking for, we will not have any delusions about other treasures."

Quinn didn't answer right away.

The others didn't speak either.A few seconds later, he said: "What you do here has nothing to do with me. Although I am in charge of this place, it is actually not what I want."

This is Quinn throwing tasks at them.

If they ask why at this time, the mission can be started.If you ignore it, you will directly miss the mission afterwards.

After Beixi thought for a while, "You just said that the third moon appeared today?"

The dialogue between high-IQ NPCs and players is not fixed.But there is also a time limit.When this kind of NPC throws some specific task lead points, the player can have 2 minutes to ask other questions, and the NPC will continue to answer.

"It is indeed today, I will not remember it wrong." Quinn's tone was lukewarm.

Civet cats and the others asked, "What's wrong?"

Why did Beixi ask this question repeatedly.Have you found any clues?
Bei Xi looked at them sideways, "He said that there would be a third moon today, but he didn't say it was tonight."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, or it might be a text trap.

Quinn didn't have to emphasize that there was a third moon tonight.But if you think about it, could it be that they have preconceived it?
After all, the moon only appears at night, even in games.

Is it possible that this third moon is not the "moon" they thought?
Beixi asked again: "Will the moon appear tonight?"

"There is no night in Juling Island." Quinn said lightly with downcast eyes. "What's the night like?" he asked.

Beixi knew very well whether he should accept the task or not.

"I think you should go outside and take a look." Bei Xi continued his previous words. "We can see that you really want to get out of here. You've been chained for too long, no matter who you are, you want to escape from the cage, don't you?"

Quinn: "Laws govern everything."

"Then someone should come out to break the law. As the subject of restraint, you are naturally unable to exert your full strength. Let us help you~"

"You are kind people." Quinn said. "The power of law is too powerful, adventurers, what should I call you?"

A group of people reported their names one after another.

Then Quinn nodded. "If the power of the law cannot be broken, I will not embarrass you for it."

Ding, do you accept the [Moon of Juling Island] mission.

Beixi chose yes.

After accepting it, Quinn's stiff face finally softened a bit.He said to Beixi and the others: "This island is under my jurisdiction. Maybe I can ask my subordinates to help you search for what you are looking for."

"What are you looking for?"

Beixi: "A kind of fruit. It's called [everything]. Have you ever heard of it?"

Quinn frowned, then shook his head.Unheard of fruit.

"Juling Island is bigger than you think, and I didn't bother to visit the island. I will only sleep on the [Prophet Tree], and the spider cave is just a nest of little spiders. You can take advantage of the time to explore first After a while, I will let my subordinates help you."

This is naturally the best.

"You don't have much time, the moon will appear soon, I hope to find what you need before the moon appears."

Beixi smiled: "I hope so."

In fact, they didn't have much hope in their hearts.

Quinn returned to the [Prophet Tree], where he said he was waiting for Beixi and the others.

And the time he gave was only two hours.

In other words, the "third moon" will appear in two hours.

What could the moon be?
