Gu Fei had been paying close attention to his surroundings. There were no players at all. 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 certain that the coat of arms was a 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. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be 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 blocked the NPC's path and wanted to speak, but the NPC stubbornly avoided eye contact and turned away.
"That's weird!" Xiao Yu found the scene interesting and caught up with the NPC in a few steps. "Do you know where Mr. Adrian is?"
"Mr. 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," said Gu Fei as he pondered. The NPCs in the "parallel world" did not have the true intelligence of humans. They were still robots that followed the programming. The guy in front of him would always respond to any of Xiao Yu's questions, regardless of whether he could answer them or not. But when it came to Xiao Yu, no matter if she talked to him or even pulled him, there was only one reaction: turn around and try to avoid her.
This was a message to Gu Fei: these NPCs are avoiding him.
Gu Fei paid attention again and realized that he was no longer pestering the NPC. After walking a certain distance away, he stopped and then maintained a vigilant peeping look at Gu Fei. Gu Fei looked around and found that all the NPCs who were paying attention to him had the same expression. However, among them, there were also some NPCs who looked at him the same as before. They didn't change even though he was wearing the emblem.
With a thought, Gu Fei found a guy who didn't pay attention to him. Sure enough, this person didn't avoid him. When Gu Fei came to his side, he looked up at Gu Fei.
"Do you know who Eddie is?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know. You should ask the village chief. He should know more," the NPC replied.
Gu Fei was stunned. He then 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 are. As long as you ask every NPC, someone will know the answer, "Little Rain lectured Gu Fei with great experience.
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 the answer. If Little Rain ignored it and swept through them one by one, she could also get the answer. That was because the NPCs who had different attitudes towards Gu Fei were evenly divided.
As for why? It was probably a key to this quest.
Gu Fei couldn't think of a reason at the moment. He could only follow the NPC's instructions and find the village chief in the small wooden house beside the forest.
He knocked on the door of the small wooden house and saw an old man with white hair and a 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 old-fashioned, stubborn, cowardly, and ignorant. Occasionally, one or two wise ones would appear, but they wouldn't live long. After making one last contribution to the plot, they would burn out their lives and turn into the fighting spirit of the protagonist. This was a common pattern in games.
"Village chief, do you know someone called Eddie?" Gu Fei asked expectantly. He suddenly realized that doing quests was also a very exciting thing. It was this sense of anticipation that came with it.
"Eddie? 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 great pain.
The village chief was startled, "What … what should we do?"
"Is there anything I can help you 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 with facts, "Eddie asked me to help."
The village chief's eyes immediately lit up, "Are you the warrior that Eddie found who can defeat the monster?"
Monster! Warrior! They all sounded very powerful. Gu Fei couldn't help but wonder if he, who was only level 30, could handle it. However, 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 like this. Gu Fei said and nodded with some embarrassment, "I am."
"Welcome, warrior!" The NPC was indeed amazing. He quickly walked out of the shadow of Eddie's death.
"What monster are you talking about?" Gu Fei began to ask for information. If this monster was a close-combat type and wasn't that much faster than him, Gu Fei felt that he could still deal with it. Moreover, this was a game. Monsters were made for players to kill, so they couldn't be so strong that they couldn't be controlled.
"Follow me!" The village chief walked out of the door and started walking with his body hunched. Gu Fei and Little Rain followed behind, hating the village chief for walking so slowly. On the other hand, Little Rain was excited, not knowing who this quest belonged to.
Leading the two, the village chief arrived at the church of Luminous Village.
The main door of the church had been in disrepair for many years. Half of it had already fallen off the door frame and drooped 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 led 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 and saw that there was a black mark on the stone slab that the Village Chief had hit. According to the village chief, this was blood.
"What's going on?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's a werewolf!!" The village chief said, "A werewolf is 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. What was even worse was that it was said that when a werewolf revealed its true form, its attack and agility would greatly increase. 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. Little Rain listened very seriously 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. 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 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?" Little Rain asked.
"Uh … I think, I should get a knife or a sword and let him coat it with silver. I'm afraid the staff won't be able to inflict a fatal wound on the werewolf." Gu Fei took out the staff for Little Rain to see and showed her the staff's lack of sharpness.
Little Rain 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, Little Rain'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. Moreover, 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!" Little Rain said.
"I'll go by myself. Don't you want to find the person in that house to get some gold ore? You go, I'll buy it and find you there. "Gu Fei said.
"Alright then!" Little Rain agreed. "See you in a bit." She waved her hand and walked towards the big house next to the church.
Gu Fei hurriedly sprinted all the way 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 Little Rain's carelessness, she wouldn't notice that the Baptism of Flames was the weapon used by the masked assassin yesterday. However, it's better to be safe than sorry.
The village chief didn't say anything else and took the Baptism of Flames. He then took out a small cup from his bosom and poured some silver liquid onto the knife. He muttered an incantation and 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 edge of the knife. Upon closer inspection, it was hard to tell where it was.
"Brave 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.
