Everyone didn't think much of it. Indeed, because of this quest, everyone had been so busy these past few days that they had forgotten that they had purposely chased after Jian Nan You to Xia Wu City. However, Han Family Young Master clearly seemed to have forgotten about it as well. Yet, at this time, he was still reprimanding them.
"The Staff of Resurrection in Jian Nan You's hands has already been put up for sale." Han Family Young Master said.
"There's such a thing!" The others were surprised.
"A bunch of trash!" Han Family Young Master continued to look down on them. However, these people in front of him, who had been dealing with him for a long time, had already trained their disdain to the point of being immune to damage, so they pretended not to hear it.
"Could it be a smokescreen?" Brother You asked.
"No, it was put up for sale in the Exchange. The staff's information and the seller are all clear at a glance. It was already bought by someone two days ago." Han Family Young Master said.
"Are they cutting their losses?" Sword Demon sighed. "It seems like they know that holding that thing in their hands is troublesome, so they might as well exchange it for money."
"Dropping two or three levels in a few days is too much of a blow to their confidence." Everyone sighed. The people around Gu Fei all looked at him. They habitually thought that it was because of Gu Fei. But in reality, when they thought about it carefully, not many of the seven people had died directly in the hands of Gu Fei … …
"I don't think it's just a matter of confidence. Jian Nan You is a member of the robber circle. Perhaps he received some news in their circle and knew that many people in the same circle were eyeing them. This is probably the main reason why he was so ruthless to sell it!" Brother You analyzed. "Later on, let's look at the forum. If he wants to drop this bomb, he might also post something there."
"Makes sense." Everyone said.
"Also …" Brother You continued to send messages in the channel. "What are the attributes and data of the staff? Hurry up and tell me."
Gu Fei and the others, who were not with him, were already imagining Brother You eagerly pulling out his notebook and pen. Unfortunately, only the Han Family Young Master had seen the consignment. Obviously, he was not reliable when it came to this kind of thing. Although this guy was smart, he would not let things that he was not interested in occupy his brain. The answer he gave Brother You was not satisfied. "I forgot, the name seems to be Resurrection Staff, and the skill is called Resurrection of the Dead, right?"
"Let's take a look at the forum later. There might be some." Everyone comforted Brother You. Hence, Brother You quickly went offline to check the forum.
Gu Fei also went offline.
To them, this was a day of complete victory. However, to the Flower Amidst the Fog Guild, this day was a tragedy.
After Gu Fei and the others left, the enemy guilds immediately retreated in an organized manner. To be honest, they had no idea what they could do to ruin Flower Gazing Through the Fog's quest. In any case, they had already caused a huge ruckus in the courtyard. Even the System Guard Boss had been killed. This was a huge harvest. No matter how many people they had, they would not dare to attack the System Guard Boss. Han Family Young Master had predicted this, so he told these guilds that there was a quest that could help them attack the System Guard Boss. This was why these people were so cooperative.
The smoke from the battlefield dissipated, and Flower Gazing Through the Fog's players had a sorrowful expression. After so many days and nights of perseverance, all they got in return was a headless corpse. This corpse laid there for a long time and refused to respawn, as if it was mocking them for their incompetence. Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's face was ashen. They knew the other party's goal and made all possible arrangements, but in the end, the other party still completed the quest …
"Where's Wind String!!! Didn't he say that he would take care of that guy?? "Three Sighs of Flowing Maple was going crazy.
"He left …" someone came up and said, "Before he left, he said that person was his relative. He tried to persuade him, but he couldn't …"
"Bullsh * t!!!!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple roared.
Everyone was silent. Their guild leader had always been known for his calm demeanor. Recently, he seemed to have gone insane from all the torment. He kept getting angry, a classic case of endocrine imbalance.
"Drifting, where did he go?" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple looked around and couldn't find Drifting, so he sent a message to Drifting.
"I'm sorry, Guild Leader Flowing Maple. I tried to persuade that guy to give up on the quest, but I couldn't. I've let you down, and I've let the guild down, so I'll leave! "Drifting replied.
"F * ck!!!" If it was a phone that sent the message, it would have definitely been smashed by Three Sighs of Flowing Maple.
"Flowing Maple, calm down!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's comrades comforted him, "Let's wait for the next quest issuer to come out and see how the quest goes!"
"The issuer is over there!!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple pointed at the headless corpse.
Everyone was speechless. Giordano was indeed dead, but how could there be one less NPC in the system just because of one death? Of course, replacements would be spawned very soon. It seemed like Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had really lost his mind. The players all retreated, feeling that it was the wisest decision not to interact with him.
Giordano patrolled once a day, which was equivalent to once every six hours in real life. None of the players left the courtyard, and everyone spent these six hours with a heavy heart. The door of the government office suddenly opened, and Giordano appeared in front of everyone with the same smiling face and voice.
No one was excited. After all, this was how NPCs respawned. It was impossible to erase the fact that the previous Giordano had died.
As expected, at the position where he usually announced the quest progress, the new Giordano angrily said, "I am the new Guard Captain Giordano. My predecessor was actually assassinated under your watch. How did you do your research???"
No one paid attention to him. Who would take an NPC's criticism seriously? In any case, no matter if you said something nice or begged for mercy, the NPC would not show any mercy. Everyone was just waiting for him to announce the result.
"50 points deducted!! Keep your spirits up from now on!!! "The new Giordano turned around and left.
"Guild leader!! Guild leader!! Someone come, the guild leader is in shock!! "The players were in chaos.
"50 points …" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple, who had just woken up, almost cried. 50 points meant 50%. Right now, the entire courtyard was completely cleared of weeds. Three Sighs of Flowing Maple could not think of any way to get back this 50% progress. By relying on the meager automatic increment every day? Would he be able to see this quest completed in his lifetime?
"Disperse! We give up on this quest, "Three Sighs of Flowing Maple announced dejectedly.
Everyone was dejected and did not know what to say. The morale of the guild had fallen to the lowest point.
"Guild leader …" At this time, someone suddenly sent a message in the guild channel, "Someone outside the courtyard says that he wants to see you."
"Let him come," Three Sighs of Flowing Maple replied indifferently. Perhaps he did not even see what was going on, but he just gave an answer that he agreed. To him, he did not think that there could be any worse situation.
"Who is it?" Someone in the guild muttered.
The person quickly arrived in front of Three Sighs of Flowing Maple and the others. Three Sighs of Flowing Maple weakly glanced at the person and used an Appraisal skill, "Our guild does not accept people who are not Level 40."
The person was only a Level 35 Cleric.
"Giordano has been killed. 50 points deducted, right?" The person said with a smile.
"Yes!" After Three Sighs of Flowing Maple responded, he suddenly realized something, "Who are you? How did you know? "
The person glanced at the lifeless players, "Don't be discouraged. There is still a chance to salvage the situation."
"What chance?" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple asked.
"Get 50 points in one fell swoop. If everything goes well, you can even complete the quest in one go." The person continued to smile.
"Who … exactly are you?" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had returned to his usual calm state. As he spoke to the person, he was already analyzing the situation in his mind. Who could this person be? A spy from an enemy guild? However, there was no need to try and bluff when the quest was already a complete failure. What was this person trying to do?
"My name is Hongchen Yixiao. Trust me, I can help you." The confidence on the person's face was very eye-catching among the dejection and disappointment around him.
"Is that so? Then what should I do? Tell me! "Three Sighs of Flowing Maple wanted to give it a try.
"Don't look like that. This isn't difficult. Come with me!" Hongchen Yixiao turned around.
"Let's go take a look!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple said to the people beside him and followed.
The expressions around him were uncertain. Everyone was guessing who this person was. Some people thought that the guild leader was still in a state of collapse. He actually believed a Level 35 noob that came out of nowhere …
Another day passed.
The next day, when Gu Fei logged on, he immediately received a call from Sword Demon. It was obvious that he had been waiting for him for an entire day.
"Let's go!!!" Sword Demon called out to the crowd.
"Teleport …" Gu Fei said to Slender Waist Dance. He knew that the teleportation scroll could not only teleport one person at a time.
"Get lost. It's free! "Slender Waist Dance flatly refused. This kind of expensive item, Slender Waist Dance, was clearly only prepared to use it in times of crisis. To her, other people's laziness wasn't a crisis at all.
"I asked around and found a shortcut. It's much closer than Waterside City." Sword Demon said.
"Oh?"
"Mist City, Waterside City, and Shady Forest City. These three cities form a triangle. It's possible to directly walk towards Shady Forest City from Mist City." Sword Demon said.
"Then why did the [Misty Shadow Assassin] pass through Waterside City before departing from Shady Forest City?"
Sword Demon was silent for a while: "Can you not reason with the system?"
"Sometimes it's very realistic, but sometimes it's illogical …" Gu Fei complained.
"Passing through Waterside City should also be an important clue. If it's an ordinary player, they probably have to go there to find out something." Han Family Young Master said.
"What do you mean? What is an ordinary player? "
"To put it simply, after exchanging a few moves, you can see through the opponent's old injuries. Do you think this is something an ordinary person can do?" Han Family Young Master said.
"What do you mean?"
"Giordano's old injuries are a clue from the diary. But where are the old injuries? An ordinary person would have to spend a lot of effort to investigate. How could there be such a barbaric guy like you who would use violence to solve it?" Han Family Young Master said in disdain.
"You mean the clue is in Waterside City?" Gu Fei said.
"I didn't say that. What I meant was that the assassin passed through Waterside City. It's not that the system is unreasonable, it's a clue deliberately left behind. Since you believe it to be true, then all the illogical parts aren't unreasonable, they're doubtful! "
