Three Sighs of Flowing Maple attached great importance to Drifting's words and immediately asked, "What's the specific mode? Can Brother Drifting 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 quests like the one I just mentioned." 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 shout, "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 wasn't even a transition. Suddenly, he stepped from the clear world into the fog.
"Who is it?" Gu Fei asked casually. He wasn't sure if the other person was talking to him.
"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 other person was obviously hiding in the fog.
"Who are you? What do you want? "Gu Fei said.
"Come with me first!" The other 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 other party said. This was the standard use of the torch in Xiayu City.
Gu Fei did not 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 with the other party to see who it was. However, when he saw the outline 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 man continued to lead the way, and Gu Fei followed behind him 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 seem to notice anything amiss.
Eventually, they walked out of the city gates. The torches continued to move forward, and the surrounding players and conversations gradually disappeared.
"Be careful of your feet!" The other party, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said.
Gu Fei looked down. The two of them were no longer walking on a flat road. It was as if they were walking through a wasteland, overgrown with weeds and broken walls. Gu Fei walked around in circles. Weren't the robbers of Xiayu City a little too cautious? With such favorable weather conditions, was there really a need to find such a deserted place?
Finally, the torches in front of them stopped advancing. Gu Fei couldn't help but stop as well. Perhaps there was a trap up ahead. 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, there was nothing but ruins as far as the eye could see.
"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 mission 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 eight people in total. Gu Fei counted them clearly. Just as he was about to see who they were, they suddenly stopped.
"Brother, you don't seem to be masked?" One of them asked.
"Masked?" Gu Fei wondered.
"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!" As he said 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 second half of it unfolded in the air. It was 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. "This …" As Gu Fei was puzzled, the eight people finally walked out of the fog. Sure enough, they were all masked, and they were wearing this large raincoat. At first glance, they looked like octuplets.
"Do I have to wear this?" 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 mysterious. " As this person said this, 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 raincoat to 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 definitely can't call me 'Little Four'. I don't like that." The number four player said.
"Don't call me 'Number Two'." The number two player said.
"Don't call me 'Little Three'." The number three player said.
"You're welcome to call me 'Old Eight'." The number eight player said.
Gu Fei silently put on his raincoat and nodded. "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 know." 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 a two-way quest with Flowers in the Fog, so you've gathered together to complete your quest, right?"
"That's right." Number Four said. "Too many people chose to give up their quest after realizing that they needed to fight Flowers in the Fog. Of course, there are also those who failed and were forced to give up. Up until now, I'm afraid that there are only nine of us left." Number Four said.
"Then, what's the content of your quest? 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." As Number Four said this, the eight of them introduced their quest 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 covered, Gu Fei could feel the shock on the eight's faces. They, who were prepared to fight 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 be ruined, right?
Of course, these people wouldn't think about Flowers in the Fog. After a moment of surprise, they immediately asked, "How much do you know about the situation?"
"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 attack. When the sun rises, 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. 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 smiled. "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 simply a blatant use of each other. Since he had entered this circle, Gu Fei could only follow their rules. After all, he couldn't possibly be sold off and still pay for it, right? Before handing over his trump card, Gu Fei naturally wanted to get some information from them first to see if there was any valuable information.
As a result, 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 started drawing on the ground. Gu Fei could tell at a glance that this guy was drawing a sketch of the city hall. He immediately piled up dirt, placed stones, drew arrows, and described the activities of the system NPCs in the city hall in great detail.
