return to edgar

() Like most businessmen, the commissioner of the task has a philistine face and an unreasonable attitude, looking at people with his nostrils.He threw a key to the family cemetery to the three who came to visit and inquire about the task in person, and repeatedly asked not to destroy his mother's body.

I learned from Paine that this mission has been hung up in the union for several days, because the undead are often haunted recently, and capable adventurers have all gone to compete with the temple for business, like this kind of simple team mission that doesn't have much oil and water. No one answered.In addition, the underground is dark and the cemetery is narrow. Players who have just turned from novice to veteran do not want to accept such tasks that may be infected with corpse poison if there is no priest in the team.

The merchant's family cemetery was not built separately, but separated from the public cemetery by a wall. The three of them worked together to open the heavy iron gate.Along with the enclosed air, there was also the unique death energy of the undead. Link carried the long sword and walked in first, with Yuan Ye in the middle and Pain in the rear.

Like other tombs, the corpses parked in the cemetery also have a small space dug out on both sides of the aisle as a coffin bed, but unlike the corpses in the public cemetery, the corpses here have a common feature, all of which are dry bones and blackened.

"Did you smell a strange smell?" Yuan Ye sniffed, and there was indeed a smell, like some kind of spice, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"It's holy water."

Link has never talked much, and the one who answered Yuan Ye was Pain who walked at the end.

"Holy water?"

"You can understand it as a preservative. After being applied, it can effectively prevent the evil spells of necromancers and will not transform into a dead body."

"The Evil Dead is a Chinese way of saying it."

The two people who didn't see each other at first chatted endlessly until Link signaled them to be silent.

The businessman's mother who was placed in the innermost place had just been buried not long ago, and her body was not completely decomposed. Yuan Ye dared not look at her tongue sticking out like a hanged ghost. Yes, inlaid with a yellow gem the size of a thumb.

"I'll go." Paine said that he has high agility, and even if there are any mutations, he can retreat unscathed.

Link nodded. He knew there was something wrong with the corpse, but he had no evidence and could not reveal his identity, so he could only repeatedly warn him to be careful.

Paine held his breath, walked slowly to the corpse, paused for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to reach for the necklace.After touching it, the corpse still maintained a lying posture, because the commission stated that the corpse should not be damaged, Paine bent down against the strong corpse odor and unbuttoned it.

After a long minute for all three of them, the buckle was finally untied. The moment Paine took the necklace away from the corpse, a skinny hand like a chicken claw grabbed the necklace and his palm.

Not only did Pain, who boasted that he could get out of the body, froze, but even Link's brain paused for a few seconds.

"Yeah~" Yuan Ye groaned strangely, "The corpse has changed!"

At this moment, Link didn't care about the rule that the corpse was not allowed to be destroyed, so he slashed at the old woman's arm with his sword. Unexpectedly, the undead turned over as if thinking, and dragged Paine to hide. Link's attack rushed empty.

The old woman's skinny fingers were like a pair of iron tongs, no matter how hard Paine pulled, they would not move at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Link raised his sword again, the old woman opened her mouth, and a scream that pierced the eardrum resounded from the tomb. The sound reached the brain, making Pan En and Yuan Ye weak.Link's long sword did not slow down at all, and accurately cut the old woman's shoulder, removing her arm completely.

Paine, who was out of trouble, quickly broke the dead bone that was stuck on his wrist.

Since he couldn't perform the purification in front of the two of them, Link pushed them and ran out, and the dead body, which had lost its arm, came out of the coffin bed and chased after them with piercing howls.

As soon as the three of them ran out of the tomb, they ran into a group of people head-on. They were priests of the Dawn Sect with a golden ring embroidered on their white robes.They sang prayers in praise of the gods and walked into the merchant's family cemetery.

"Hey~ there's..."

Before Yuan Ye finished speaking, Pan En covered him with his hand, and then there was an even harsher scream from the tomb.

"It's so dirty, you actually touched me with the hand that touched the corpse, ah, bah, bah, bah~" Pulling Pan En's hand off, Yuan Ye couldn't stop retching, and the disgusting stench lingered in his nostrils.

"We've got the stuff, let's get out of here first." Although Chen Xi was a good god of order, Link didn't want the priests to recognize him, and urged him to leave as soon as possible.

After walking a few steps, he sensed that someone was watching him in the dark. Link suddenly turned his head, and saw a crooked old man standing in the public cemetery next door.

Noticing Link's movements, Paine also turned his head.He had stepped here before and recognized the old man as the gravekeeper of the public cemetery.

I'm afraid it's not an ordinary gravekeeper...

Since the five senses are stronger than ordinary people, Link could clearly see the eyes of the old man hidden under the messy hair, like blades. For a moment, he thought of Hawke, but the leader of the spider web, who was disguised as a tavern owner, was more restrained.The old man with such eyes is by no means an ordinary person, why is he willing to nest in the cemetery as a grave keeper?

Farther and farther away from the cemetery, Link could still feel the sight of the old man.

Back in Eden City, when Paine handed the necklace to the merchant Edward, he had a sullen face and denounced their behavior for attracting the Temple of Dawn, which resulted in the purification of his mother's body.

Looking at the businessman who was waving his arms angrily, Link grabbed Pain who was trying to defend himself, shook his head at him, and then said to the businessman, "We don't need to pay, as long as you sign the power of attorney of the union to prove that we have completed the commission. "

Edward gave him a suspicious look, then nodded haughtily in agreement.

After leaving the merchant's house, Paine asked Link why he didn't fight for it. It was fifty silver coins, which is already a high reward for a player who has just turned from a novice to a veteran.

"This commission has been problematic from the beginning."

Pan En was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"The priests of the Temple of Dawn came by a coincidence. If they knew from the beginning that the merchant's mother had become an undead, why didn't they go sooner or later, after we entered? There is no key, and it is very difficult to break such a heavy iron door by force." Difficult. The businessman must have been notified in advance that he could not disobey the order of the temple, and he did not dare to take the necklace himself, so he issued a commission in the adventurer's union and asked mercenaries to do it for him, so that he could retrieve the necklace without disobeying the temple , In the end, you can use the broken entrustment agreement to not pay a cent, this calculation is very careful." Link's explanation made Pan En and Yuan Ye suddenly realize.

"This npc is really stingy, even 50 silver is not willing to give it." Yuan Ye's nose was crooked, and he ran to the cemetery for nothing to face the terrifying undead, but he didn't get any money.

Pan En didn't speak, but Yin's gloomy face was obviously not much better.

"Okay, it's just a common team task for novices to over-adapt to veterans, don't be so fussy. Money is a trivial matter, at least we have completed the task and gained experience." There is no shortage of money. In his opinion, people's safety is the most important thing.

Putting aside the unhappiness brought by the businessman, Paine is quite satisfied with this cooperation. He has long wanted to experience the fun of teaming up for an adventure.The self-awareness needs to be improved, and I am going to find NPC instructors for training, and I will not do any more tasks in the short term. I agreed with Link that I would go to the Golden Rose Tavern to find them and then left.

What is rare is that Yuan Ye finally realized that he was a burden, and also expressed that he would go to a mentor for training.It's a good thing that lazy people are willing to work hard, but Link, who is used to being alone, is worried that he has no time to practice alone.

Estimating that it was almost time for morning exercise in reality, the two went back to the tavern together and asked Jafar to watch over their bodies.

Back to reality, the time was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and there was a text message from Su Wu in the early morning of yesterday in the phone, asking how it was going.Estimated that he was already up by this time, Link dialed Su Wu's number and briefly mentioned the conversation he had with Gonzalez after he left.

Knowing that the two had also sparred, Su Wu suggested that Link take the dual cultivation route of divine arts + martial arts, and cover up his identity as a warrior and ranger in the early stage, and then show his real talent when he grows strong enough in the middle and late stages.

Link thinks it makes sense. He has studied the skill list. Most of the early learning skills are support-oriented. The attack skills are all single-body skills with average power. It is appropriate to take the dual-repair route.With no progress in the main quest, he can still find time to engage in professional work, and he doesn't know what will happen to the inheritance after absorbing the magic of fate for the second time. The computer interface only shows talent, not inheritance.

After returning from a morning jog, Link continued the unfinished puzzle yesterday.

Hearing that playing jigsaw puzzles can exercise a person's patience and observation skills, he specially spent money to buy several jigsaw puzzles with complex patterns and put them at home.Don't look at Link's withdrawn personality. In fact, he is impatient. He does things in a hurry. He usually does it when he thinks about it. Playing puzzles and drawing allows him to calm down and think. Discovering the businessman's tricks in the illusion can also be regarded as exercise these days. results.

Although the skills in the illusion cannot be brought back to reality, Link does feel that his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before he came into contact with the illusion. He reported to a martial arts class coach and praised him for his good response. Unfortunately, he is too old. Good seedling.

The biggest change is his relationship with his family. His father found out that Lin Li often talked with Link on the phone, and even came to him to ask what happened.Of course, Link would not tell him the unbelievable experience, but only said that he and his sister had reconciled. As a father, Lin Hai was naturally happy to see that the number of times he went home gradually increased. When he went back on the weekend, although his stepmother still showed embarrassment, he had already left his childish age, and he only smiled at his stepmother's embarrassment.

Link didn't resist such a change. With the experience in the illusion, he began to re-examine his past. It can be described as eating and waiting to die, with no goals and mediocrity.

One day, if he can get out of the illusion, he wants to travel around the world, to experience the magnificence of nature, to appreciate the customs and customs of various places, and to feel the beauty of life.
