Saint Gaius did not know how long it would take. Li Huailin did not wait in the same place because he received an unexpected long-distance call.
"You received an AA-level hidden mission? You? " Li Huailin was a little surprised. If Jade Emperor and the others received an AA-level mission and then came to him, it would not be a new thing. Anyway, he had done it several times. But this time, it was not them, but … Hongyan drinking water.
"Yes, brother-in-law. The other party asked me to go to a place, but I just went there to take a look. It's so scary. Brother-in-law, you must help me." Hongyan said immediately after drinking water.
"Scary? How scary can it be? " According to Hongyan's standard, Li Huailin imagined zombies, demons, and a castle haunted by ghosts. These things were not strange at all in the game. What was so scary about it?
"It's very scary," Hongyan said while drinking water. "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, help me."
"Okay, okay." Li Huailin happened to have some time now. Although it was said to be an AA-level hidden mission, it was just a mission to fight a boss. According to his level, unless it was an undead or mechanical boss, it would not be easy to solve.
Thinking that Hongyan was his sister-in-law after all, and she had been very good recently and did not bother him, Li Huailin thought that he should help her a little.
Soon, Li Huailin saw Hongyan drinking water in a human city called Sardinla. Although Li Huailin and Su Ruoyan met often, the two usually met at the company or outside. Of course, they could not bring a third wheel when they met, so they had not seen Hongyan drinking water for a long time.
"Where are the guild leader and the others?" Li Huailin asked a little strangely. If it was a team quest, he should have seen Red Moon and the others, but there was only Hongyan drinking water here. The others were not here.
"Did they go to the Instance Dungeon?" Hongyan said as she drank some water.
Li Huailin asked curiously. He was wondering why they didn't bring Hongyan to the Instance Dungeon. She was the Cleric with the best equipment in the Red Army of Women, but the question she got made him feel like laughing.
"Overslept?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Um." Hongyan nodded in embarrassment as she drank some water.
The situation was like this. Recently, the construction of the Red Army of Women's territory had temporarily come to an end, so Red Moon continued to carry out the Instance Dungeon and enter the city. Because there was a period of delay due to the construction of the territory, they did not catch up with the progress these days, causing everyone to have a hard time. Hongyan drinking water was the one who had a hard time. Because she had good equipment, she had to fight with the team every day. As a result, she fought until late last night and overslept today. She couldn't even wake up on the phone. Of course, Red Moon had already formed a team. It was impossible for 19 people to wait for her alone, so she called another Cleric to form a team to fight. When Hongyan drank water, she became alone.
"It's almost 11 o 'clock now. You really overslept." Li Huailin looked at the time and said.
"My cousin is not here. I am alone at home. No one called me at all." Hongyan said as she drank water.
"Ruoyan didn't go home?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, my cousin has been very busy these days. She often sleeps directly in the company." Hongyan drank water and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you come and accompany me? I'm scared to be alone at home."
"… Let's talk about the quest." Li Huailin thought for a while. He guessed that Hongyan had wanted to look for him for a long time. But considering that he was still preparing for the Nation Cup, she did not intend to disturb him. Now that the Nation Cup had just ended, she thought that he was free, so she immediately looked for him.
"Oh, this is a team quest. I just received it last night." Hongyan seemed to have forgotten what had happened just now as she drank water. She immediately began to explain.
"Understood. Anyway, let's go and accept the quest first. We'll talk as we go." Li Huailin nodded.
Along the way, Li Huailin understood the situation a little. It was roughly like this. The NPC who issued the quest was a wealthy merchant named Karl Landuca in Sardinla City. The quest's objective was to find a very precious gemstone. As for why they were looking for the gemstone, it was because Karl was a gemstone collector. He was very interested in collecting gemstones. He had heard rumors about a very precious gemstone, so he asked players to help him find it.
"A quest to find something." Li Huailin nodded. The quest did not sound very complicated. In fact, it sounded a little simple. However, it was, after all, an AA Hidden Quest. No matter how simple it was, it couldn't be too simple. Li Huailin casually thought about it. The gemstone was probably in a very difficult place, and there was probably a very powerful boss watching over it. Of course, this was not a problem for Li Huailin. It should be very simple. He should be able to complete it within a day.
"But what did you mean when you said it was very scary?" Li Huailin asked.
"I just went to the next quest location to take a look. It was so scary," Hongyan said while drinking water. "I was so scared that I didn't dare to go in."
"I understand." Li Huailin nodded casually. Anyway, she was a little girl. Anything could scare her. It was normal.
So, the two went directly to the wealthy merchant's house. Of course, the guard here had seen Hongyan drinking water before, so he let her in easily. Of course, he also notified Karl. After a while, the two met the wealthy merchant who issued the quest, Karl.
"I see. Is this your teammate?" Karl nodded. "But one person is a little too little. In fact, I want to stop an expedition team from looking for it. Of course, please rest assured that I will definitely satisfy everyone in terms of the reward."
Karl did not look special. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was slightly plump and wore a suit that looked like a nouveau riche. He looked like an upper-class person, but in fact, he was just a merchant. He might have even donated a Lord or something. His tone was a little uncomfortable.
"No, no, I think the two of us will be enough." Li Huailin waved his hand. With the Twin God Swords in hand, what was there to be afraid of? If it came down to it, he could use the aura and let Hongyan drink water to heal himself. There would be no problem at all.
"Since you're so confident, I won't ask any more questions." Karl nodded and said, "Then, let me tell you about the quest."
Karl repeated the quest slightly. Of course, what he said was similar to what Hongyan said before she drank water. After that, the quest notification popped up.
System Notification: Karl Landuca issued the AA Hidden Quest: Find the Holmland Stone – 1.
Quest Objective: Find information about the Holmland Stone.
Quest Hint: According to Karl Landuca's information, Mario Paeso of East Street may have information about the Holmland Stone.
Quest Reward: 200000 EXP, 10 gold coins, 20 Reputation Points.
"The first round of the quest, huh?" Li Huailin nodded. As it was the first round of the quest, the EXP was not a lot. There was also no mention of any rewards. However, this was very normal. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin asked Karl, "Is there anything special about this Holmland Stone? For example, a more obvious feature. "
"To be honest, I've never seen it before," Karl suddenly said.
"Eh?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised.
"But my master's album should have it," Karl immediately said.
"Master?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised.
"Oh, I'm used to calling you that." Karl waved his hand. "It's like this. In fact, I used to be the butler of Chittallera Family. My master was Count Chittallera."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Then how did you become a merchant?"
"My master passed away." He didn't seem to be willing to talk about this matter, so he briefly mentioned it. Then, he took out an old notebook from the book beside him, flipped it open, and handed it to Li Huailin. "This is the Holmland Stone."
Li Huailin looked at it for a while. From the appearance of the stone, there was nothing special about it. Of course, the sketch was in black and white, and he could not even see the color. However, there seemed to be some words engraved on the stone, which was a very obvious feature.
"This thing looks a little familiar," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Have you seen it before?" Karl asked.
"Yes, I can't remember," Li Huailin said.
"My master has always been studying this …" Karl said. "It is said that he has been studying it for many generations. I'm not sure about the specific details, but the Holmland Stone belongs to the Chittallera Family. Now that my master is dead and the stone is missing, I still have the obligation to find it. Please."
In short, now that he knew what the stone looked like, Li Huailin brought Hongyan to drink some water and set off.
"So the first round of the mission is in the city. What's so scary about that?" Li Huailin said while walking.
"It's really scary," Hongyan said while drinking water. "Brother-in-law is here. See for yourself."
Hongyan drank water and pointed forward. Li Huailin looked and saw a huge building in front of them. From the outside, it looked like a big theater. There seemed to be a lot of people at the entrance, but the most obvious thing was that there were six strong men standing at the entrance of the building. They were really strong and fat. Most importantly, they actually had arms and tattoos on their bodies. Looking at their fierce looks, no matter how he looked at them, they looked like … triads?
"Right? How scary," Hongyan said while drinking water. "Brother-in-law, I'm counting on you."
"No problem. Isn't it just the home of the triads? This mission is simple. Watch me complete it in minutes," Li Huailin said.
