As the core of Reigning the Four Seas, he was more concerned about this mission than anyone else. After the discussion, Reflection of Years immediately picked a few members with excellent speed and rushed forward with him.
The few of them were indeed people with outstanding speed. They left quickly and returned quickly as well. However, there were four of them when they left, but only two came back. Reflection of Years' face turned pale. Sword Without Oath hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"I saw the werewolf," Reflection of Years said. "But they said they only trust Thousand Miles Drunk …"
Sword without Oath was stunned. "Is that true? How is that possible? If we didn't invite him for this mission, we wouldn't have been able to complete the mission. "
Reflection of Years didn't say anything. This doubt was the reason why he strongly refuted Gu Fei's words.
"Where are Little Si and Little Ha?" Sword without Oath asked. Four had gone, and the other two were nowhere to be seen.
"They died," Reflection of Years said.
"What happened?" Sword without Oath was shocked.
"The werewolf attacked them as soon as they met. They were killed on the spot. Fortunately, I shouted in time that we came to help them, and the werewolf let us go." Reflection of Years still had a lingering fear in his heart. The player who escaped with him also had a dull look in his eyes, and his body was trembling slightly. It seemed that the werewolf had given them quite a shock.
"I'm thinking," Time's Reflection finally spoke. "It's still impossible for someone who isn't from our guild to become the key to our quest. Thousand Miles Drunk's situation was just a coincidence. It just so happened that he had experienced a mission related to these werewolves. We must have a way to win the werewolf's trust. We just need to find it. "
"It seems like we don't need to do that. We just need to do what Thousand Miles Drunk said before, find the guy who threatened the werewolf and get rid of him. Not only will we win the werewolf's trust, the current crisis will also be resolved," Feng Xing said.
"I'm just afraid that this mission was triggered by Thousand Miles Drunk. If we do this, won't we be missing some clues?" Reflection of Years said, "Or, he will deliberately hide some important clues and use it to blackmail us again."
"That's very possible!" Sword without Oath waved his fist. He recalled the bewitching smile of the Young Master Elite Squad's leader. Ever since they had invited the Elite Squad, they had been ruthlessly extorted.
"Werewolves only trust A Thousand Miles Drunk. You can't say this even if you're beaten to death," Unsworn Sword hurriedly instructed. If this were to reach the ears of that Young Master Han, wouldn't he be beaten until his head bled?
"So what should we do now?" asked Feng Xing.
Everyone was at a loss. Even though they had decided to help the werewolves ferret out the mastermind, it was still quite a headache to know where to start.
"Seems like it'll be a little difficult to get on the road today," Time's Reflection sighed.
In a situation where they had no clues, they could only use the most primitive method: repeatedly talking to the NPC until the NPC ran out of new words. That was what Reigning The Four Seas did in the end. All of the guild members rushed back to Luminous Village and formed groups of three to five. Whenever they found a villager, they would try their best to communicate with him.
The players of the mercenary group didn't want to wait in the same place. The kind-hearted ones went to help, while the bored ones ran around to see if there were any monsters to fight. In an instant, the area around Luminous Village was filled with the silhouettes of Cloud City players.
Meanwhile, Sword without Oath and the other two core members had returned to Moonlit City and arrived at Moonlit City's Mercenary Building. They believed that since A Thousand Miles Drunk had come into contact with the Werewolves in Luminous Village, then the players of Moonlit City had probably come into contact with even more. Rather than letting A Thousand Miles Drunk be the only one, giving Young Master Han a chance to extort them, they might as well find another mercenary group from Moonlit City.
Unfortunately, Gu Fei had completed an advanced quest chain. Just the fact that the main NPC in the quest was a Level 70 Werewolf meant that this quest wasn't something that current players could trigger. Even if they did trigger it, they wouldn't be able to complete it. The fact that half of the villagers in Luminous Village were Werewolves was not known to the players of Moonlit City. Sword without Oath and the others sent out a mercenary recruitment notice, but no one responded.
The players who asked around in Luminous Village didn't find anything either. The villagers' description of the Werewolves was actually the plot of the quest that Gu Fei had completed: A villager was killed by a Werewolf. Later, a passing warrior found out the truth and helped the villager walk out of the shadow of the Werewolves …
Although the player directly said that half of the villagers were Werewolves, it didn't cause any ripples among the villagers. After all, this was a game, and there were hard system settings. If these words were said by Gu Fei, who had been involved in related quests, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. However, these normal players, who had only heard Gu Fei's description before, would only think that the NPCs were talking nonsense.
In other words, Gu Fei saying that "half of the villagers were Werewolves" could be an order that could trigger some plots.
To other players, it was nonsense.
The five members of Young Master's Elite Group didn't participate in this activity. At this time, they were sitting in a small inn in Luminous Village, watching everything with cold eyes. Brother You went out for a walk and returned to the inn. He looked at the five of them and shook his head. "Looks like this method won't be able to find out anything."
"Or maybe there's no other way. This quest was triggered by Qian Li, maybe Qian Li has to ask the NPC to provide some information." Sword Ghost said.
"Should I try?" Gu Fei expressed.
"You can go, but if you really get some clues, don't be in a hurry to deal with it." Han Family Young Master said.
"That's too bad." Gu Fei shook his head and left. He obviously understood Han Family Young Master's thoughts. If this quest could only be solved by Gu Fei, then Sword of No Oath would have to bleed again.
After leaving the small inn, Gu Fei went straight to the Luminous Village Chief's house. With his understanding of the village, the villagers would say "ask the Village Chief", so if there was anything important to know, the Village Chief would be the first choice.
Unfortunately, Gu Fei wasn't the only one who received this kind of notification. The players who had wandered around the village for so long had all heard from the ordinary villagers that "the Village Chief knows more". At this moment, the Village Chief's house had three floors inside and three floors outside. The players were so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through. It was as if they were having a meet-and-greet with their idol, the Village Chief.
Was this necessary? Gu Fei was dumbfounded. Everyone just had to choose one person to go up and talk to the Village Chief. What was there to fight over?
This was Gu Fei's fault for not being motivated. Just like their Young Noble Elite Group, all guilds and mercenary groups would use a point system when it came to distributing equipment, money, or any other benefits. For example, in a group mission like this, it was an important opportunity to earn points. No one wanted to miss this opportunity, which was why there was such competition.
Gu Fei was blocked outside the crowd, but that wasn't all. Suddenly, two Reigning the Four Seas players saw Gu Fei tiptoeing outside the crowd and took the initiative to greet him. "Apologies, Brother Thousand Miles. Our guild leader said that you've worked hard enough for this quest, so there's no need for you to worry."
Gu Fei didn't say anything and left with an "Oh". He laughed in his heart. Han Family Young Master's intention to rip him off had long since been seen through, so he didn't even let him participate.
Of course, Reigning the Four Seas' words couldn't restrict Gu Fei's actions, but the meaning behind it was: I didn't invite you this time, so if you want to help, then help.
Gu Fei didn't really care about money, he just couldn't stay idle. However, seeing how lively the village chief's house was, Gu Fei's interest waned and he didn't know when it would be his turn, so he turned around and left.
When he returned to the inn, the five people were all shocked. "So fast? What did you find out? "
"Nothing much." Gu Fei said. "Reigning the Four Seas said that I don't need to interfere."
Everyone looked at Han Family Young Master. "Just how many people did you extort? They're all guarding against us like thieves. Giving up such a convenient opportunity, they'd rather do their own work. "
Han Family Young Master also muttered, "It's not that many, but it seems like it's a bit too frequent. But you can't blame me, it's because we're too outstanding. "
Han Family Young Master's narcissism finally brought everyone along, so he didn't attract any disgust. Everyone nodded. "Yes, yes, we're too outstanding."
"Sword of No Oath, the more he doesn't want us to extort, the more I want to extort him." Han Family Young Master rubbed his hands.
"Extort him, extort him." Imperial Divine Ming saw that there was a profit to be made and didn't hesitate to betray his guild leader.
"Thousand Miles, who do you think is behind this?" Han Family Young Master asked.
"How would I know?" Gu Fei said.
"Who was the final boss of your last mission?" Han Family Young Master asked again.
"Adrian …" Gu Fei paused after saying that, "Could it be this guy again?"
"What's the situation?" Everyone asked.
"I specifically asked around today. The previous Adrian was already killed by me during my mission. So, this guy, although he is also called Adrian and has the same identity in the village, he is actually an NPC that the system has refreshed. But … "Gu Fei recalled Red Dust Smile's words." A newly refreshed NPC has the same mission, replacing the previous NPC to do the same job. "
"What do you mean?" The others didn't understand.
"The previous Adrian was a bad character, so the new Adrian obviously wouldn't abandon evil and become good. It's possible that he's still using the werewolves. "Han Family Young Master analyzed.
Gu Fei nodded. "I think so too."
"Let's go find him!" Imperial Divine Ming was excited.
The six of them stood up. Brother You moved to Gu Fei's side. "Where did you hear all this?"
"This, it's not convenient for me to say …" Gu Fei said as he glanced at Red Dust Smile in his friends list. Bro, if this mission really falls on Adrian, then you've done me a huge favor.
