Gu Fei had paid attention to his surroundings and there were no other players. Only then did he put on Eddy's coat of arms.
The only ones who noticed him were the NPCs in the village, including the passersby he had asked earlier. This made Gu Fei even more convinced that the coat of arms was the key. He calmed himself down and walked towards an NPC who was staring at him.
In the end, before Gu Fei could even get close, the NPC actually walked away on his own. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was carefully avoiding contact with Gu Fei.
Gu Fei did not believe it and quickened his pace to chase after him. The NPC did not seem to have an acceleration setting, so Gu Fei caught up with him in a few steps. Gu Fei wanted to speak to him, but the NPC stubbornly avoided eye contact and turned away.
"That's weird!" Xiao Yu was amused by this scene and quickly caught up to the NPC. "Do you know where Mister Adrian is?"
"Mister Adrian is the richest person in our village. He lives in the big house next to the church at the east end of the village." Facing Xiao Yu, the NPC not only smiled warmly, but also gave her accurate information.
"What's going on? Why is he ignoring you? "Xiao Yu scratched her head.
"That's probably the plot of my quest," Gu Fei said as he pondered in his heart. The NPCs in the "parallel world" did not have the true intelligence of humans. They were still orderly robots that followed the programming. The NPC in front of him would always respond to any of Xiao Yu's questions, regardless of whether he could answer or not. But when facing Gu Fei, no matter if she spoke to him or even pulled him, there was only one response: Turn around and try to avoid her.
This was a message to Gu Fei: These NPCs are avoiding him.
Gu Fei paid attention again. After realizing that he was no longer pestering the NPC, he would walk a certain distance away and then stop. Then, he would maintain a vigilant peek at Gu Fei. Gu Fei looked around and found that all the NPCs that were paying attention to him had the same expression. But among them, there were some NPCs that looked at him the same as before, not changing even though he was wearing the coat of arms.
Gu Fei had a thought and found a guy that was not paying attention to him. As expected, this person did not avoid him. When Gu Fei came to his side, he looked up at Gu Fei.
"Do you know who Eddy is?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know. You should ask the village chief. He should know more," the NPC replied.
Gu Fei was startled. He immediately found another passerby with the same style and got the same answer.
"Who's the village chief?" Gu Fei asked.
"Edwin is our village chief. He lives in a small wooden house outside the forest over there," the NPC replied as he gestured with his hand.
"Ah, I got it! That's how quests work. As long as you ask every NPC, someone will know the answer, "Little Rain lectured Gu Fei.
Although it was a stupid idea, he had to admit that it was a good idea. Gu Fei noticed the different attitudes of the NPCs and asked for an answer. If Xiao Yu were to ignore this, she could sweep through them one by one and get the answer. This was because half of the NPCs had two different attitudes towards Gu Fei.
As for why this happened? This was probably another key point of this mission.
Gu Fei couldn't think of a good reason at the moment. He could only follow the NPC's instructions and look for the Village Chief in the small wooden house by the edge of the forest.
He knocked on the door of the small wooden house and saw an old man with white hair and beard. In the game's design philosophy, being young and promising seemed to be reserved for the protagonist. As a result, it was a bizarre thing for an old man to save the world. In games, the old were always inflexible, stubborn, cowardly, and ignorant. Occasionally there would be one or two wise ones, but they wouldn't live long. After making a final contribution to the plot, they would burn their lives and turn into the fighting spirit of the protagonist. This was a common plot in games.
"Village Chief, do you know a person called Eddy?" Gu Fei asked expectantly. He suddenly realized that doing quests was also a very exciting thing, because of this sense of anticipation.
"Eddy? He was a very good young man. He promised to help our village, "the Village Chief said.
"He's already dead," Gu Fei said with incomparable sorrow.
The Village Chief was startled, "What … what do we do now?"
"Is there anything I can help with?" Gu Fei followed the script.
"Who are you?" the Village Chief asked.
"I …" Gu Fei didn't know how to answer and could only speak the truth, "Eddy asked me to help."
The Village Chief's eyes immediately lit up, "Are you the warrior that Eddy found who can defeat the monster?"
Monster! Warrior! They all sounded very powerful. Gu Fei couldn't help but wonder if he, who was currently only level 30, could handle it. But the Village Chief's question seemed to be a choice of whether or not to continue the quest. No matter what, he couldn't just stop the quest. Gu Fei thought and nodded, a little embarrassed, "That's me."
"Welcome, warrior!" The NPC was indeed awesome. He quickly walked out of the shadow of Eddy's death.
"What kind of monster are you talking about?" Gu Fei began to ask for information. If the monster was a close combat type and wasn't much faster than him, Gu Fei felt that he had the confidence to deal with it. Moreover, this was a game after all. Monsters were made for players to kill, so they wouldn't be so strong that they wouldn't be too strong.
"Follow me!" The Village Chief walked out of the door and started walking with his body hunched. Gu Fei and Xiao Yu followed behind, hating the Village Chief for walking so slowly. On the other hand, Xiao Yu had a face full of excitement, not knowing who this quest belonged to.
Leading the two, the Village Chief arrived at the Church of Luminous Village.
The door of the Church had been in disrepair for many years. Half of it had already fallen off the door frame and was drooping weakly. The stone path in front of the door had also been abandoned for a long time. Weeds grew between the stone slabs. The Village Chief brought the two onto the stone path. Halfway there, he stopped and looked down at the ground.
"Here …" The Village Chief hit the ground with his walking stick, "Murphy's blood. No matter how many years of rain it takes, it won't be able to wash it away."
Gu Fei and Xiao Yu looked down. On the stone slab that the Village Chief hit, there was a black mark. According to the Village Chief, this was blood.
"What's going on?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's a werewolf!!" The Village Chief said, "There's a werewolf hiding in our village!"
Werewolf … Gu Fei muttered to himself. This was a very cliché race in Western legends. They were usually human, but on the night of the full moon, they would reveal their true form. They would lose consciousness and become extremely savage and violent. Even worse, it was said that when a werewolf revealed its true form, its attack and agility would be greatly increased. If it was such an extremely fast creature, then it would be difficult to deal with.
While Gu Fei was pondering, the Village Chief was rambling on about the legend of the werewolf. Xiao Yu listened very attentively and once again took out his little notebook to quickly record. Gu Fei's thoughts were always faster than the Village Chief's words. When he finished thinking, he heard the Village Chief say: "Legend has it that werewolves are afraid of everything made of silver. Warrior, do you have a weapon made of silver?"
"No." Gu Fei replied.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared for it. Give me your weapon, I can help you coat it with a layer of silver. "The Village Chief said.
"Can I do it later? I want to find clues about the werewolf first. "Gu Fei said.
"If you need it, you can come find me at any time." After the Village Chief said this, he trembled as he left the Church.
"Why don't you let him coat your weapon with silver?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Uh … I think, I should get a knife or a sword and let him coat it with silver. I'm afraid a staff won't be able to inflict a fatal wound on a werewolf." Gu Fei took out his staff for Xiao Yu to see, showing off the staff's lack of sharpness.
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Do you want to use my axe?"
"I don't think I can carry it …" Gu Fei said. Although the game said that equipment didn't have class or attribute requirements, it was just that the requirements weren't stated in the form of data. For example, Xiao Yu's giant axe, according to the game, a mage can use it, but if you don't have enough strength to carry it, then it's not our problem … It's equivalent to a disguised attribute requirement, and we don't know what the specific requirements are, it's very abnormal.
"Oh, then let's go buy a weapon that you can carry!" Xiao Yu said.
"I can go by myself. Don't you want to find the person in that house to get some gold? You go, I'll buy it and find you there. "Gu Fei said.
"Alright then!" Xiao Yu agreed, "See you in a bit." She waved her hand and walked towards the big house next to the church.
Gu Fei hurriedly sprinted and caught up to the village chief who was still halfway there. He took out the Baptism of Flames: "Village chief, help me coat this knife with silver!"
Although Gu Fei suspected that with Xiao Yu's carelessness, she might not have noticed that the Baptism of Flames was the weapon used by the masked assassin yesterday, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Without another word, the village chief took the Baptism of Flames and took out a small cup from his bosom. He poured some silver liquid onto the blade and muttered an incantation. Then, with a flash of silver light, the color of the Baptism of Flames didn't change. However, there was a faint silver line on the blade. Upon closer inspection, it was hard to tell where it had come from.
"Warrior, I'll leave it to you." The village chief returned the Baptism of Flames to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei looked up and saw that the name of the Baptism of Flames had been changed to Holy Baptism of Flames. Apart from the 30% chance of using fire magic, there was another attribute: Prevent regeneration.
