How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

On it is naturally the information of a resident named Maria.

What surprised us a little was that there were not many people on the list. There were only about a hundred people, which was obviously different from the several hundred people we had expected.

However, it is still extremely difficult to find the target person among these more than a hundred people.

We can only start again based on the information of the tasks on both sides.

Sister Qiu Li thought about it and said, "The information I have here is about Mrs. Maria, and I want to help her recover her lost memories, so this Maria should be a married middle-aged woman."

"Forger." Sister Shisha's suggestion was simple.

But these key points were enough to help us narrow down the list to just eight people.

I don’t know if it’s because we are just unlucky or because we missed some information.

After spending half a day and finally finding the seven people on the list in order, he ruled out all of them as possible targets of the mission one by one.

"There's only one person left."

I looked at the last column on the list and frowned.

Sister Qiu Li and Sister Shuiyan next to them were also a little worried. If they eliminated this last person, it would mean that all their hard work for half a day would be in vain.

But you have to try anyway.

According to the address provided on the list, I went to Guangxing Jewelry Store without stopping.

But the owner of the drugstore poured cold water on us, "Maria? I'm sorry, I really can't remember this person in our store. Would you like to take a look at the jewelry? We have a top jewelry maker here..."

Shisha showed a look of disappointment, and it was obvious that she had no hope left for the last person.

And for some reason, I saw a familiar look on the face of the chattering boss, a bit like I had encountered him before.

Before he could recall what was going on, Sister Qiu Li next to him suddenly smiled and handed him ten gold coins.

"Boss, this person is very important to us. Can you recall it again?"

The corners of my mouth twitched. Isn't this the method that Hill used back then?

Facts have proved that money can effectively prevent memory impairment among some indigenous people. After accepting the gold coins handed over by Sister Qiu Li, the shop owner's memory immediately returned to normal.

"I almost forgot. I bought this shop more than ten years ago. When I first took over, there was only one old friend, named Herm. He is now retired and an old drunkard. He often drinks in various bars until the afternoon before returning."

"You can go to his house and wait for him. It's at No. 41 Fashu Street."

I didn't expect that the process of finding the last person would be so tortuous and complicated.

But since there is a clue, we can't let it go.

Obviously, it would be a waste of time to find a drunkard in the hundreds of taverns in Qiu Luo Castle, so we went to the address provided by the shop owner.

Fashu Street.

This is an old-looking street. The low buildings on both sides indicate that they may have existed when the city was first established, and are full of the vicissitudes of time.

House No. 41 is located in the center of the entire street. Compared with the building, there are some flowers planted in front of the door. They are trimmed very delicately, which shows the owner's care. This is obviously not something a drunkard would do. It should be planted by his partner.

Chapter 51: The inheritance mission of connection

Not long after Sister Qiu Li pressed the doorbell.

With a creak, the door opened.

A thin woman appeared in front of us, she looked to be in her forties or fifties. Although she was dressed simply and had a pale face, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could not conceal the grace and beauty she once possessed. She must have been a charming woman when she was young.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The woman asked with some doubt. Her voice sounded a little weak, but very gentle.

"We are here to see Mr. Helm. Is he here?"

"My husband is not at home. He probably won't be back for some time. Dear guests, why don't you come in and sit for a while."

The woman opened the door a little further and made an inviting gesture.

Our original idea was to wait for Hem to come back at the other party's house, so we did not refuse the woman's invitation and went into the house.

The house is small and the furniture is very simple, which shows that the family's situation is somewhat bad. If you add an old alcoholic husband to the mix, it would be a typical tragic scene.

"I am Maria, Hem's wife. I wonder what you are looking for my husband for?"

The woman brought three cups of tea and asked in confusion.

Sister Qiuli, who wanted to ask about Hem's information, was stunned, and Sister Shuiyan and I were also stunned.

The person we originally thought might take a long time to find actually appeared right in front of us. This was something we didn't expect.

No wonder I saw the blacksmith's special workbench and instruments in the corner. I thought it might be a coincidence, but I never thought it would be such a coincidence.

I opened my little mouth.

But we soon reacted.

Mrs. Maria, who had roughly understood what had happened, nodded and smiled, "I see. May I ask, guests, what can I do for you?"

Qiu Li gestured to Shisha to ask first.

Naturally, Shisha would not be polite to Qiu Li, who joined the team temporarily, and asked Madam Maria if she knew any news about Achilles.

"Achilles..."

"I'm sorry, there seems to be something wrong with my memory. I only have a vague impression. I just remember that it is related to a plant called Lost Star in the Dragon Breath Forest. If you can find this plant for me, I may remember more."

Mrs. Maria held her forehead with her hand, her face turned even paler, and she looked apologetic.

Shiyan did not blame her either. After all, she was already used to the lengthy and complicated process of the inheritance mission.

It was Qiu Li's turn. She took out a crystal from her backpack and handed it to Mrs. Maria.

The light blue crystal is placed on the coffee table. Under the old dim light, it reflects a faint light, giving people a feeling of mystery and desire to explore.

Madame Maria fumbled in her pocket, pulled out a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses and put them on.

She looked at the crystal carefully and rubbed it with her hands for a few times, with a confused look on her face.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere before. It looks very familiar..." Maria murmured, trying to recall it. Her originally dim eyes gradually became brighter. "This is a memory crystal..."

"Yes, that's right. This is a crystal that records past memories." Madam Maria said excitedly, "I remember now. May I ask Miss Yili Qingqiu, where did you get it from?"

"This was given to me by my mentor, Phaolanth."

Phaolanth was also a legendary figure, but he was an era apart from Achilles and Loblanche, and with his ancient elven bloodline, it was not uncommon for him to have spent hundreds of years together.

Sister Qiu Li’s inherited profession is also a mystical scholar originating from Faolans.

When she heard the name, Lady Maria nodded.

"Yes, I helped Master Faolans in the Dragon Breath Forest when I was young. He should have made this for me."

"Ms. Shisha, I remember now that Master Faolans also mentioned the name Achilles. Perhaps this is the guidance of fate. This crystal can tell us everything."

"This is... a mission connection!?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but blurt it out subconsciously.

Mrs. Maria didn't care, but Sister Shisha and Sister Qiu Li gave her a puzzled look.

I came to my senses and explained to them in the team channel.

The so-called task connection is the situation where the tasks of two players carrying different tasks are combined.

It may be a simple combination of a process, or it may be a complete combination.

However, this situation is very rare. Not only must the task process be roughly similar at a specific time, but the same task characters must also be encountered at the same time. The current situation is obviously an example of task connection.

But I never thought that the inheritance tasks could also be connected.

as predicted.

After Madam Maria regained her composure, she looked at the memory crystal in front of her, her eyes revealing a look of reminiscence: "Although the memory crystal stores memories, it still requires a key to remove the seal."

As she spoke, Lady Maria gently raised her right hand, bit her index finger, and smeared the dripping blood on the crystal.

The blood disappeared without a trace as if absorbed by a sponge, and a special pattern appeared on the crystal.

It's a perfect hexagram, but with a compass-like rotating needle in the middle.

The blood loss made Madam Maria's face even paler, but she didn't care. Instead, she looked up and said earnestly, "Ms. Shisha, Miss Yili Qingqiu, perhaps all this is fate's arrangement. Can you help me find the key to unlock the memory crystal seal?"

The same system prompt popped up in front of Shuiyan and Qiu Li at the same time.

System: Do you accept the mission of [Removing the Seal of the Memory Crystal]?

The two naturally had no reason to give up, so they accepted it, and the progress of their inheritance mission also changed from finding Lady Maria to lifting the seal of the memory crystal.

"Thank you." Madam Maria said gratefully, "All this should be related to the Dragon Breath Forest. Please take this crystal, it will guide you."

However, just when Qiu Lixiang was about to reach out and take the crystal.

boom.

The door was pushed open rudely, and a sloppy middle-aged man with ruddy cheeks and reeking of alcohol walked in. He looked drunk, obviously the drunkard Hem that the shop owner had mentioned.

"Well, do you have guests at home?"

Hem looked at the three extra people in the room and felt a little confused.

But soon, his eyes focused on the memory crystal in Madam Maria's hand.

"It's that damn thing again!"

As if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he completely changed from his previous sloppy drunkard appearance, as if he had turned into a tiger and pounced on me.

Qiu Li was quick-witted and quick-handed. After taking the memory crystal, he immediately dodged to the side.

"Damn it, give that thing to me!"

Hem missed and roared at Qiu Li.

Mrs. Maria next to her held her husband tightly, her pale face flushed red.

"Don't be like this, Herm."

Chapter 52: Dragon Breath Forest

This situation confuses us all.

But since he had obtained the next clue of the inheritance mission, Qiu Li would not waste time here and put the memory crystal into his backpack.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hem, this is related to a very important mission of ours, and we have to leave now."

I cast a glance at Sister Shisha.

Shisha understood and stood in front of us with a shield, looking warily at Hem who was behaving unusually.

Logically speaking, ordinary indigenous people in the Era would not harbor ill will towards players for no reason, unless their respect value was too low. However, even excluding me, Sister Shuiyan and Sister Qiuli also had high respect values.

There is no reason for this to happen, so it is better to be careful.

Hem was held by Mrs. Maria. Although he was strong enough to break free, he seemed afraid of hurting his wife and just struggled as hard as he could.

"No, wait, adventurers."

Looking at the hookah in place, he seemed to be much more sober, and spoke to us with a hint of pleading.

"I was an explorer when I was young. If you are willing to give me this crystal, I can tell you about a treasure. It is an ancient relic left in the Dragon Breath Forest. I am sure there are many treasures in it."

System: Do you accept Hem's condition and exchange the memory crystal for the information of the ancient ruins?

This option popped up in front of the three of us.

Ancient ruins?

I was a little surprised. The opportunities in these ancient ruins that had never been discovered were absolutely unimaginable. The system prompt also confirmed that what Hem said was not empty talk.

Obviously, Sister Qiu Li and Sister Shuiyan were also surprised by the news.

Lady Maria's expression suddenly dimmed.

But no matter what, what is inside the ancient ruins is still unknown. The two people's inheritance mission must indeed rely on memory crystals to be achieved, and this is a mission they have already worked hard to progress to the final stage.

Shisha shook her head at Qiu Li.

After Qiu Li realized what was happening, he also shook his head and refused.
