This was a very shabby little shop. It was even narrower than Mu Zixian's Miscellaneous Goods Store. Inside the shop, there were all kinds of stones piled up haphazardly. A white-haired old man was sitting at the entrance, carving stones with a chisel.
From his diligent appearance, one could tell that he was a legendary professional.
Above the old man's head was a line of words: Mason Jabel.
Seeing Jabel, Wang Yu quickly walked over and respectfully greeted him, "Hello, old mister."
NPCs were always straightforward with their actions. Hearing Wang Yu's voice, Jabel raised his head and looked at Wang Yu before getting straight to the point. "Ah, so it's the City Lord. What can I do for you?"
Since the NPC was so straightforward, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't beat around the bush. She immediately stated her intentions.
Originally, Wang Yu thought that since this old man called him the City Lord, he would listen to his every request. But who would've thought that Jabel would reply with an expressionless face, "I'm sorry, City Lord. This one's ability is limited. If it was my great-grandfather, then he might be able to help you."
"Then where is your great-grandfather?" Wang Yu asked.
After asking this question, Wang Yu immediately regretted it. This old man looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old. His great-grandfather must've been cold for who knows how long.
Sure enough, as soon as Jabel's great-grandfather was mentioned, Jabel put down his work and said, "I don't know. I heard from my grandfather that he went to collect stones and never came back. If he was still here, then I would definitely be able to learn all of his skills. That way, I would be able to help the City Lord."
"This … …"
Hearing Jabel's words, Wang Yu's heart tightened. This old man isn't asking me to find someone, right?
Just as Wang Yu was worrying, a system prompt popped up: You have triggered the quest "Old Mason's Wish". Do you wish to accept?
"This … …"
Seeing the system prompt, Wang Yu wanted to cry but no tears came out. He didn't know what to do. If it was murder or arson, then Wang Yu could just bring Quanzhen with him. But to find an old man who died hundreds of years ago? Wasn't this just making things difficult for him?
However, the old stonemason had said that he would only be able to help others if he helped him first.
One had to know that Wang Yu couldn't refuse the City Lord's mission, nor could he fail. If he wanted to continue, he would have to help Jabel.
Although Wang Yu really didn't want to help the old man find the person, he still bit the bullet and accepted it.
At the same time, he received a system notification: [You have accepted the quest "Old Stonemason's Wish". Quest Level: None.]
Quest Details: Help find the relics of the old stonemason's great-grandfather 1/1.
"So, you're looking for a relic … I thought you were looking for someone. You gave me a fright."
Seeing the quest notification, Wang Yu could not help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking that it was a false alarm.
It seemed like this little coincidence was deliberately arranged by the game developers. After all, no normal player would have a missing person quest on them. If Wang Yu had rejected the quest, the quest chain would have ended there.
It had to be said that the game developers were really unscrupulous in order to trick the players.
Obviously, the so-called relic should be the stone tablet in Wang Yu's hand … It turned out that this stone tablet was a quest item. As for why he didn't accept the quest, Wang Yu had a rough guess.
Wuji's judgment was correct. The reason why the city wall was damaged was to be found by a professional. Obviously, Jabel was the most important part of this quest.
Point At The Heavens had received the quest early in the morning, so this quest chain had also been activated …
As the name suggested, the City Lord Quest was not only for the city manager, but also for the City Lord. It wasn't difficult to explain why Wang Yu, who wasn't part of the quest, was able to obtain the quest item.
Wang Yu couldn't be blamed for intervening. She could only blame the players at Point Heavens for being too stupid. They were still waiting for their prey at the foot of the wall. They didn't even know that their quest had been intercepted.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu took out the stone tablet and handed it to Jabel, "I found this in the Summit of the Mountains. I think it should be related to your great-grandfather, Arthur."
Jabel took the stone tablet and studied it for a moment, pleasantly surprised, "That's right, this is my great-grandfather's stone tablet … Thank you, City Lord, for helping me find what I needed."
"Eh …"
Hearing Jabel's attitude, Wang Yu was once again stunned.
This old man only cared about whether or not the stone tablet was what he wanted. He didn't even care about the whereabouts of his legendary great-grandfather. Was this guy the son of the old man next door?
In the end, he was still a low-level NPC. His personality was flawed, and he couldn't be compared to an intelligent NPC with delicate emotions.
After obtaining the stone tablet, a dazzling light burst out from Jabel's body. The name above his head changed from Stonemason Jabel to Master Jabel. At the same time, his temperament also changed. His originally dull eyes were now filled with a bit of life.
It seems that the stone tablet was an upgrade plug-in, turning him from a low-level NPC to an intelligent NPC.
On the side, Wang Yu asked again, "Can you help me now?"
Jabel gave a deep bow to Wang Yu, "Jabel is at your service, my respected City Lord."
Just as Jabel was summoned by Wang Yu, the team leader who accepted the quest, Don't Shoot, suddenly received a system prompt: Your quest "Dangerous Wall" has failed, Prestige -20.
"Fuck! What's going on? "
Hearing the system prompt, Captain Don't Shoot's mood was indescribably complicated.
Prestige was the foundation of a main city's manager. The maximum value was 100. Once it fell below 60, the civilian NPCs in the area would be dissatisfied with the manager. Once it fell below 40, there was a possibility of riots.
As the manager of the western district, Captain Don't Shoot's initial prestige was only 60. These days, he had diligently spent a lot of money to develop the western district. It wasn't easy for him to raise his prestige to 80, but he didn't expect it to go back to square one. Captain Don't Shoot's resentment was self-evident. He angrily sent a message to Big Bear, "What happened? How did the quest fail? "
"This … it's Iron Ox. We were doing a quest when he suddenly appeared and forcefully stole it."
Big Bear, wait a minute. I'm not an idiot. From the tone of the captain's voice, I can tell that I've messed things up this time. I might as well go all the way and push all the blame onto Wang Yu.
As it turned out, Big Bear's method was quite effective. Hearing that Wang Yu stole the quest, Captain Don't Shoot's anger immediately calmed down.
After a moment of silence, Captain Don't Shoot said, "Did he just steal the quest? You didn't cause any trouble, did you? "
"No … no."
Big Bear was speechless. He didn't expect this shield to be so useful.
