According to the quest description, Ye Ci should have found Andriel's grave, but she did not see the next part of the quest nor the completion of the quest. Could it be a BUG?
"You have discovered Andriel's grave." A system notification rang out in Ye Ci's mind, "You have discovered Andriel's grave." But the quest was still the same. There was no notification about the next part of the quest. Ye Ci tried a few more times, but nothing changed. She stopped at a spot far away and began to think. Is this a BUG? Or is there something else going on?
Ye Ci did not like contacting customer service immediately. This was because Fate was different from traditional games. Many of the quests in Fate required players to observe and analyze the situation from different angles before they could complete the quests. If a player were to contact customer service immediately when they encountered something that was different from their original understanding of the game, they would lose a lot of the meaning of exploring the game.
Taking Andriel's grave as an example, Ye Ci would not be able to complete the next part of the quest. There must be something else that Ye Ci had not discovered and resolved. If she did not do so, she would not be able to complete the next part of the quest.
Ye Ci carefully observed Andriel's grave, and recalled Tamra's words when he gave her the quest.
"Young one, I haven't left this place for a long time. I haven't visited him for a long time. Can you help me take a look at him?"
Take a look at him? Take a look at a dead man buried in a grave? Isn't that just sweeping a grave?
Ye Ci suddenly realized what she had overlooked. She looked at the collapsed grave and the scattered bones. That must be it! She immediately bent down and carefully picked up the scattered bones one by one. Then, she used the high-quality cloth in her bag to carefully wipe the mud off the bones before putting them into the bag. When she looked at the bones in her inventory, she noticed that the bones had become a quest item. There was a name on it — Unknown Scattered Bones.
She smiled faintly. It seemed that she had guessed correctly.
Now that she was on the right track, the next step would be much easier. She began to clean up the collapsed tomb. She cleared away the debris on the half-collapsed tomb, revealing the bones that had long been piled up messily inside. It was obvious that this tomb had been there for a long time. Tamra had come to clean it a few times, but as he said, he hadn't been here for a long time. That's why the tomb was in such a state.
Ye Ci picked up the pile of bones, wiped them clean, and placed them into her inventory. The name of the pile of bones in her inventory was "Andriel's Remains". Ye Ci attempted to merge the two piles of skeletons together, and was able to do so with ease. The two piles of skeletons were now a single pile in her inventory, and a new name was given to the pile, "Stinger's Skeletons".
With that done, Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief and began to rebuild the collapsed tomb. Fate's game was very realistic. Although there were many different races on the continent, their skeletons were very similar to human skeletons. This meant that the skeletons that Ye Ci picked up were no different from human skeletons. It was fortunate that Ye Ci was numb to the horror of the game. A new player would've been scared out of his wits if he were to encounter such a scene.
It did not take long for Ye Ci to rebuild the collapsed grave, leaving only a small hole for Andriel's remains. After she was done, she took out a piece of high-quality animal fur and carefully wrapped it around Andriel's skeleton. She then used a leather band to seal the hole. After that, she took out a relatively large empty wine jar and placed the fur-wrapped skeleton in it. Finally, she carefully sealed the hole and stuffed the jar into it. Then, she carefully sealed the hole and placed the jar into the hole.
Ye Ci stood up and let out a long sigh of relief. Ye Ci opened up her quest interface. As expected, the quest to locate Andriel's grave had been completed. The next quest was "Converse with Andriel".
Converse with Andriel? Converse with him?
The corners of Ye Ci's mouth twitched as black lines appeared on her face. Are you serious? Why does this game always have to do this? Why does it have to summon a ghost to spout nonsense after I'm done with the bones? Don't the developers know how to bury him? If a lot of players accepted this Hidden Quest, Andriel would not be able to rest in peace.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but sigh. She had just thought of something, and it had happened. Ye Ci turned around and saw a wisp of green smoke rising from Andriel's grave. The smoke lingered above the grave, and after a while, it took the shape of a human. No, it was more accurate to say that it took the shape of an Elf. However, it did not have the sharp ears of an Elf. Instead, it was just like what was recorded in Tamra's diary.
The green smoke began to take the shape of an Elf from Andriel's head. His arms were crossed in front of his chest, and his eyes were tightly shut. He slowly opened his eyes after the smoke had taken the shape of a human. It was a pair of beautiful blue eyes. They were as deep as the ocean. And it was at this moment that the pair of sea-like eyes landed on Ye Ci.
"Look, what do I see? It's a young Elf. " Andriel's voice was pleasant to the ears. It did not sound eerie even though he had turned into a ghost. Instead, it sounded just as pleasant as when he was alive. Of course, Ye Ci had never heard Andriel's voice when he was still alive, but she could not think of a voice that sounded better.
"Greetings, I'm Gongzi You." Ye Ci bowed to Andriel's soul, "Greetings, great hero."
Andriel did not seem to mind the way Ye Ci addressed him. He stared at Ye Ci with a warm gaze, "Are you alive?"
"Yes."
"How long has it been since I last saw such a young Elf?" Andriel closed his eyes and let out a long sigh before opening them again, "You don't look like you came from the battlefield. I don't smell the smoke of war on you. Where did you come from?"
"I came from my hometown. I met Tamra and he told me to come see an old friend." Ye Ci's answer was simple. If Tamra knew where her hometown was, then Andriel should know it as well.
"Hometown?" Andriel was surprised. His eyes glistened with tears. He moved closer to Ye Ci and took a deep breath, "Yes, you smell like the elm trees of my hometown. I like that smell." He looked up at Ye Ci and sighed, "So, the war is over?"
"Yes, hero."
"Then, even though King Dau 'er has passed away, the Elves are still alive?"
"That's right. It's because of your bravery that we've preserved the last spark of our race, allowing us to survive and develop." Ye Ci knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Andriel, "On behalf of the Elves who are still alive, I pay my respects to you."
Andriel sighed after a long moment of silence, "That's good. That's good." He raised his head and stared at the dark sky. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he extended a hand to Ye Ci, "Rise, young Elf. I'm happy to see you."
Ye Ci stood up and stared at Andriel. Andriel retracted his hand and asked, "Is Tamra still hiding in the cave?"
"Yes. He said that he hasn't left the cave for a long time. He asked me to come visit you."
Andriel nodded with a sorrowful smile on his face, "I'm the one who put him in harm's way. He's different from me. He's just a refugee hiding in the back, while I'm a warrior fighting on the frontlines. It's my honor to die in battle, but it's his duty to live on for the sake of the Elves. I shouldn't have forced my duty on him. He must be blaming me for not coming to see him for so long."
Ye Ci carefully listened to every word that Andriel said. Ever since she picked up Tamra's diary, Ye Ci knew that the Elven King Dau 'er's secret was hidden in this quest. However, Dau' er had hidden it very well. Ye Ci didn't dare to miss a single word that the NPCs said. Only by doing so would she be able to deduce what she wanted the most.
Andriel's words didn't seem like much, but the second half of Tamra's diary revealed that the quest Andriel was talking about was very important. Tamra had entrusted this quest to Tamra before he died, which led to Tamra being hunted down by Naga's minions. In the end, Tamra had no choice but to hide in the cave for the rest of his life.
"Elves are a race whose hearts are as transparent as crystal. If Tamra was blaming you, he wouldn't have missed you so much. He wouldn't have asked me to visit you either. So, don't worry." Ye Ci smiled. She hoped that her words would comfort Andriel. After all, she had to establish a good relationship with him if she wanted to get information from him.
Andriel stared at Ye Ci with a gentle gaze, "Thank you for your words, young one. I don't know if Tamra's thoughts are true, but I'm very grateful for your words. You must have gone through a lot to come here from your hometown. Now, I want to know if you're a brave person. "
"Yes, hero. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I'm willing to fulfill them for you." Ye Ci sensed the hidden meaning behind Andriel's words.
Andriel was very satisfied with Ye Ci's answer. He extended his hand towards Ye Ci and revealed a unique brooch, "This was given to me by Tamra to encourage me to live on. But I disappointed him and died in the end. Today, I'm giving you this brooch. Please return it to Tamra. Tell him to pass on the burden I gave him to you. Please accept this brooch. Just like how he encouraged me in the past, I hope that he can live on and return to his hometown. I don't want him to die in a foreign land like me. We are Elves. The Elves should return to their homeland under the elm tree, not under the cold stone of the opposite sex. "
Ye Ci wanted to accept the brooch, but Andriel pulled his hand back. Ye Ci looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Andriel looked at Ye Ci worriedly, "Young one, do you know what it means to accept Tamra's burden?"
Ye Ci tilted her head and pondered for a moment before smiling, "What could it be? The worst thing that can happen to me is death. I'm not even afraid of living. Why would I be afraid of death? "
Andriel was stunned by Ye Ci's reply. A bright smile appeared on his face after a long moment of silence, "I can see the courage of King Dau 'er in you. I've made the right decision." He extended his hand again and passed the brooch to Ye Ci. Then, he held Ye Ci's hand tightly. Ye Ci felt a chill crawling up her body, "Go, young one. If there's anything you don't understand, you can find me here. Just touch my grave and I'll know that you're summoning me."
After saying that, Andriel let go of his hand. His entire figure shattered and turned into a puff of green smoke that dissipated into the air.
Ye Ci waited for Andriel's smoke to dissipate before summoning Ol 'Six and leaping onto its back. They quickly left the dangerous area and returned to Tamra's cave in the Valley of Sorrows.
Ye Ci returned the brooch to Tamra and told him everything that Andriel said. Tamra fell into deep thought. His shoulders trembled as he looked at the brooch. Even though his expression was calm, the tears in his eyes betrayed his emotions.
After a long time, Tamra lifted his head and sighed, "I'm old now. I'm too old to return home. Did Andriel forget? I don't even remember the way back home … … "
Ye Ci stared at the youthful face, and her heart was filled with emotions. Be it in the game or in real life, the scars of war are always borne by the living.
