Three Sighs of Flowing Maple attached great importance to Drifting's words and immediately asked, "What is the specific mode? Brother Drifting, can you explain it in more detail?"
"It's the same as a normal two-way quest. When you receive the quest to guard the city hall, the system will give you a quest in the guild building or the mercenary building. This will provoke the players to fight and make things difficult for each other," Drifting said.
"F * ck, this again." One of the core members cursed. He had probably experienced a two-way quest before and suffered from it.
"Guild quest … Mercenary quest …" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple repeated and immediately said, "Quick, send someone to the guild building and the mercenary building to see if there are any similar quests." Looking at the Flower Through the Fog had focused all of their attention on the Guard Quest, which they didn't know when it would end. It had been a long time since anyone had paid attention to any new quests from the Guilds and mercenary groups. Now that they heard Drifting's words, Three Flowing Maple Sighs immediately realized that they had overlooked something. They could only hope that it wasn't too late to mend the pen after the sheep were lost.
Gu Fei had only taken a few steps out of the door when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Brother!"
It was quiet all around. The voice was very soft, but it was also very clear. Although it was sudden, Gu Fei had already identified the direction and turned to look to the left. If he didn't hear wrong, the voice came from the left side of the wall.
There was no one. There was only fog in front of him. This was the magic of the city hall's wall. The inside and outside of the wall were two completely different worlds. There was no transition at all. He suddenly stepped into the fog from the clear world.
"Who is it?" Gu Fei asked casually. He wasn't sure if the person was talking to him or not.
"Can I talk to you in private?" The voice came again. This time, Gu Fei had already identified the direction, but he still couldn't see the person. The person was obviously hiding in the fog.
"Who are you? What do you want? "Gu Fei said.
"Come with me first!" The person said.
Gu Fei smiled bitterly, "I can't even see you. How can I follow you?"
A ball of fire immediately lit up in the fog and floated in the air. "Follow the torch!" The person said. This was the standard use of a torch in Xia Fog City.
Gu Fei didn't know what the other party was up to, but as the saying goes, the skilled are bold, so he calmly followed. Gu Fei quickened his pace, wanting to catch up to the other party to see who he was. However, the moment he saw the silhouette of a human figure, the other party immediately quickened his pace, maintaining a certain distance from Gu Fei. Although Gu Fei didn't manage to see the other party's face clearly, he at least knew the other party's class. It was either an archer or a thief.
Let's see what he's up to. Gu Fei thought to himself as he put his right hand into his pocket and gripped the Night Streamer Sword. Perhaps they were local robbers. Thinking of this possibility, Gu Fei could not help but feel a little excited.
The other party continued to lead the way, while Gu Fei followed behind without saying a word. Along the way, Gu Fei encountered a few other players. There were also players who carried torches. Although Gu Fei found it strange, the other players didn't notice anything amiss.
In the end, Shi Feng walked out of the city gates. The firelight continued to move forward, and the sounds of players and conversations gradually faded away.
"Watch your step!" At this moment, the other party who had been quiet all this time suddenly said.
Gu Fei looked down and saw that the two of them were no longer walking on a flat road. It was as if they were in a wasteland, overgrown with weeds and broken walls blocking the way. Gu Fei walked around in circles, thinking that the robbers of Xia Wu City were too cautious, right? With such favorable weather conditions, was there really a need to find such a deserted place?
Finally, the firelight in front of them stopped moving forward. Gu Fei couldn't help but stop as well. There might be a trap ahead, and Gu Fei didn't want to rush forward recklessly. He stopped in place and silently sensed his surroundings. There was no one, or rather, everyone was in the fog. In short, all he could see was ruins. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"It's here." The other party said.
"Oh … then, what's the matter?" Gu Fei said.
"Brother, you don't seem to be from this city?" The other party asked.
"Yes!" Gu Fei replied.
"Where you come from and where you're going, we don't care. However, you seem to have a quest in the government office, so we have something in common." The other party said.
"We?"
"That's right, we." The voice had changed, and figures began to appear from the fog. One, two, three … there were actually eight people in total. Gu Fei counted them clearly, and just as he was about to see who they were, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"Brother, you don't seem to be masked?" One of them asked.
"Masked?" Gu Fei was puzzled.
"That's right. Because we don't want to know each other's identity, we all masked our faces. You, as an outsider, might not care if you don't plan to stay in Xia Wu City for long. However, we still want to remind you. "The other party said.
"If that's the case, then I'll do as the Romans do!" Saying this, Gu Fei took out a black cloth from his pocket and covered his face. Then, one of the eight figures seemed to raise his hand, and a black object flew towards Gu Fei. The latter half of it unfolded in the air, and it was actually an extremely large black raincoat.
Seeing that it was about to be blown away by the wind, Gu Fei hurriedly raised his sword and hooked the raincoat back to him. "This …" Gu Fei was confused, and the other eight finally walked out of the fog. Sure enough, each of them was masked, and the large raincoat was draped over their bodies. At first glance, they looked like octuplets.
"This … do I have to wear it too?" Gu Fei asked.
"That's up to you. This coat is just a serial number." One of them said.
"Serial number?"
That person nodded: "I said before that we don't know each other. We're just temporarily gathered for our own quests. However, because we're facing the strongest guild in Xia Wu City, we don't want to leave behind any trouble, so we have to be a bit more mysterious. " As he spoke, he lifted the corner of his raincoat and showed it to Gu Fei. There was a number "4" embroidered on it.
Gu Fei hurriedly lifted the corner of his own to take a look. There was a "9" embroidered on it.
"We don't know each other, so we'll call each other by serial number. You can call me 'Number Four', 'Number Four', or 'Number Four'. It's up to you, but you're definitely not allowed to call me 'Little Four'. I don't like that name." Player number four said.
"You're not allowed to call me 'Old Two'." Player number two said.
"You're not allowed to call me 'Little Three'." Player number three said.
"You're welcome to call me 'Old Eight'." Player number eight said.
Gu Fei silently put on his raincoat, nodded and said: "I don't mind, just call me whatever you want."
"Since you've already accepted it, then the reason why we're gathered here and why we called you here, I'm sure you understand." Number Four said.
"Although no one clearly explained it to me, I think I already understand." Gu Fei said, "You're all players who received the dual quest of Flowers in the Fog, so you've gathered together to complete your quests, right?"
"That's right." Number Four said, "Too many people chose to give up their quests after realizing that they needed to fight against Flowers in the Fog. Of course, there were also those who failed and were forced to give up. Until now, I'm afraid that only the nine of us are left." Number Four said.
"Then, what's the content of your quests? This shouldn't be something that only you know, right? It's better if you tell us so that we can work together. "Gu Fei said.
"Of course." Number Four said, and the eight of them introduced their quests to Gu Fei one by one. In the end, they all asked Gu Fei: "What about you?"
"Me? Assassinate Giordano. "Gu Fei said.
Although their faces were masked, Gu Fei could feel the shock on their faces. They, who were prepared to fight against Flowers in the Fog, obviously understood this quest. They knew that this NPC named Giordano seemed to be an important character in their quest. If they killed this person, then the Flowers in the Fog mission would probably go down the drain, right?
Of course, these people wouldn't think about Flowers in the Fog. After a moment of surprise, they immediately continued to ask: "How much do you know about the situation now?"
"Uh, Giordano is in the guard room on the third floor, but there are many guards there at the same time, so it's not convenient to make a move. At dawn, he will come out of the government office to patrol the courtyard, but there are too many guards in the courtyard, and there are also Flowers in the Fog players watching closely, so I haven't found any good opportunities yet. "Gu Fei said.
The eight of them listened and nodded. Suddenly, Number Six said: "Other than that, you seem to know something else."
"Oh? What is it? "
"What method did you use to avoid everyone's attention and suddenly appear outside the city hall?" Number Six asked.
"Hehe." Gu Fei laughed. "Speaking of this, why don't you talk about how much you know about the situation now?" When this group gathered together, there was no need to talk about identity or friendship. It was basically a blatant use of each other. Since he was in this circle, Gu Fei could only follow their rules. After all, he couldn't still count money for the person who betrayed him, right? Before revealing his trump card, Gu Fei naturally wanted to get some information from them to see if there was any valuable information.
Number Four sighed. "If the information we have is useful enough, we would have completed the quest long ago. Do we still need to squat here and discuss? Maybe the information you know is the last piece of the puzzle for us to complete the quest. "
"I see! At least let me take a look at the other pieces of the puzzle! "Gu Fei said.
"Okay, I'll tell you in detail." Number Four said as he squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, and began to draw on the ground. With one look, Gu Fei could tell that this guy was drawing a sketch of the Municipal Compound. Immediately, he piled up mounds of dirt, placed stones, drew arrows, and described in great detail the activities of the NPCs in the Municipal Compound.
