He turned his head and looked at the figure leaning against the wall

"Heh, where did this little girl come from? She looks so delicate... It hurts, it hurts!!"

The person who walked out from the shadows was naturally Ye Qing who had been waiting for a long time.

When she saw this drunkard-like young man, she knew that it was time for her to start this special mission. The last time she encountered him in her previous life, she was still running around in the city for equipment missions.

Thinking that he was just an ordinary poor NPC, Ye Qing paid for the young man's drinks with the mentality of enjoying the game, but he didn't expect that it would lead to a series of tasks later.

Especially after learning about the story behind it and the young man's final outcome, she hoped that she could at least make some changes in this life and change that tragic ending.

Ye Qing grabbed the young man's fingers and twisted them backwards, causing him excruciating pain.

"You, you, let go! Believe it or not, I called for help!"

"I never thought that the descendant of the former Knight Sandro would be such a drunkard."

There was even a hint of provocation in Ye Qing's tone, but the young man did not get angry. Instead, his cloudy eyes lit up, and there was even some expectation in his tone.

"You know my grandfather?!"

"More than that, everyone in the empire knows about the former pioneering knight Sandro. It's a pity that he neglected his duty..."

Seeing the young man's reaction, Ye Qing also said deliberately.

Of course she knew that in the context of the mission, Knight Sandro was not neglecting his duties, but it was precisely because of his loyalty that he had to take the blame for the empire.

The collapse of the mine naturally requires an important person to take responsibility.

Knight Sandro, who was originally stationed in the barren mountains, naturally became the best target, especially since there were many secrets hidden behind him.

"My grandfather did not neglect his duty!! Ouch..."

When the young man mentioned his grandfather, he suddenly roared in anger. Even though he had just sobered up, he stumbled and fell to the ground in a mess.

For most men, it is very embarrassing to lose face in front of a beautiful woman, let alone a beautiful girl like Ye Qing. Her coldness and her eyes are like a flower in the sky that is difficult to touch in front of the young man.

The young man wanted to bury his face in the ground, but a slender white hand had already stretched out in front of him.

"Of course I understand, so I'm here to find out the truth."

Ye Qing slowly leaned down and spoke calmly, but his tone was full of unquestionableness.

In a sense, the NPCs in Divine Realm Fantasy are comparable to real people. As for the technology, it seems to be Huanmeng's patent on artificial intelligence, and it was often interviewed in the past.

As for what Ye Qing thought, she naturally regarded it as an understandable existence, and sometimes even treated it as a galgame, so naturally she regarded it as a character that could be conquered.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Qing's attitude that the young man finally wavered.

He held Ye Qing's hand and tried to stand up.

"Edmund, right? My name is...Zero."

"Are you an adventurer from the Empire? Can you really prove my grandfather's innocence?"

After introducing themselves to each other, Ye Qing could see a task floating before her eyes.

Exclusive mission: Pale Justice/Foolish Loyalty is about to start

Do you accept this task?

whether

coming!

However, this is only the beginning stage of the mission. The most important thing is to prove the innocence of Edmund's grandfather, Knight Sandro.

If one of the links fails, the entire mission will be in vain, and it is unknown when the next exclusive mission will be launched. But Ye Qing has already memorized the mission process by heart, and she is very confident, which is also the confidence of the former No. 1 player.

Naturally, she chose to accept it without hesitation. This was the reason why she rushed here on the first day of the server opening despite being behind in level.

"Of course, leave it to me."

Ye Qing nodded and formally accepted the task at hand.

Pale Justice/Foolish Loyalty (1/8)

The first stage of the mission: Go to Edmund's house and find the relics left by Knight Sandro.

Please note: The rewards for exclusive tasks depend on the completion of the task, and the completion of the task is related to the trust of the NPC.

"That's what you said, but how can you prove it? My grandfather was also buried under the barren mountain..."

Edmund's voice gradually became lower, because he found that apart from the knight stories of his grandfather, he knew nothing about what happened back then.

If he could prove it, he would have done it long ago.

"Let's go to your place first. Maybe there is some token left by Knight Sandro."

Ye Qing paused and motioned for Edmund to lead the way.

"I believe that Sandro, as a pioneer knight, will never neglect his duties."

These words made Edmund feel a little relieved. He nodded to Ye Qing, and the cold wind woke him up.

With books, it is long; without books, it is short

As a city guard, Edmund is not as familiar with the routes in the city as Ye Qing. However, Ye Qing cannot be exposed now, otherwise Edmund will become suspicious, which will affect the completion of the mission.

The completion rate in the previous life was only 80%, but Ye Qing still obtained powerful exclusive equipment. In this life, Ye Qing will try his best to complete it to 100%.

Although until now, no one knows how to complete the exclusive mission 100%.

"Edmund, why didn't you go back with the knights who returned?"

Chapter 5 Special Enemies

"No, my father insisted on staying."

Edmund shook his head. Ye Qing only learned the reason for this past event in the subsequent plot.

In the current context of Divine Realm Fantasy, the Imperial Knight is considered a high-level honor in the human empire. If someone loses this honor, it can almost be said that he has completely lost touch with the empire.

Whether it is upper-class nobility or lower-class commoners, it is not easy to obtain the official title of knight, especially for commoners. It is simply a fantasy to want to get this title without sufficient merit.

This is why players with the title of Imperial Knight can gain a considerable advantage in later faction wars.

In order to restore his father's honor, Edmund's father resolutely chose to stay in the barren mountain area, but the result is that it still cannot be proven after so many years.

"Haven't you tried it?"

Ye Qing asked with some "curiosity". Edmund, who was walking in front, naturally turned around immediately. He wanted to say something righteously, but in the end he seemed to wilted.

"I... tried, but I couldn't find anything. The commander of the garrison legion also kept saying that he had orders from above and wouldn't let me continue the investigation."

It's not that they won't investigate. It's just a joint deception of superiors and subordinates in the background. Edmund will also be hit by some realistic factors at that time. That tragic ending is the moment when the mission is completed.

This is also something Ye Qing feels a little bit reluctant about, because these game NPCs are not like the previous ones who only act according to fixed lines and fixed plots.

They are like people living in another world, except that players are interacting with them in different identities.

Therefore, when the tragic ending happened, Ye Qing could do nothing but watch the truth continue to be buried under the barren mountains, while the Imperial Knights still occupied an important position in the imperial camp.

"It doesn't matter. Let's first see if Knight Sandro left anything behind. If we can find evidence, it will be more useful than anything else."

Edmund nodded, and the two soon arrived at Edmund's cabin.

Unlike the houses in the town outside, most of the houses in the desolate mountain town are covered with a thick layer of black ash, which is the mineral ash brought by the magic mining machines digging through the mountains.

The mineral dust floated in the air above the barren mountainous areas for a long time, so naturally most of the houses were inevitably covered by the mineral dust.

"You are... quite clean, huh?"

Seeing this scene, Ye Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

If she remembered correctly, when she first saw Edmund's house, it didn't look like a place that anyone could live in. But now it was very clean, even cleaner than most houses in the town.

Even Edmund at that time looked like a completely different person than he is now. His beard was scruffy and you could count the hairs on his fingers when he was sober. He looked like a homeless person.

It’s totally different from now, at least he still looked like a human being, and there was still a little light in his eyes.

The difficulty of triggering the task at the beginning was probably much greater than it is now. The difference between a person who is desperate and a person who holds on to hope is really huge.

What exactly did Edmund experience during this time?

"Ah? Oh, if it's cleaner, it can sell for more money."

Edmund smiled awkwardly and opened the door.

It’s not that time period yet, it would be nice if the item was still in its original place.

Ye Qing did not go directly to find the relic. She knew very well that any rash action might cause her to lose the trust of the NPC and affect the completion of the mission.

"Please go ahead. It's a bit messy here... You go ahead and look for it. I'll clean it up."

Edmund, who was tripped by the books, smiled awkwardly and quickly stood up to pick up the books piled in various corners of the room. Ye Qing took a glance and found that those books were either related to the Barren Mountain Mineral Vein or the Imperial Knights.

This also further verified Ye Qing's idea. When she was in her twenties, Edmund went through a period of despair in the fantasy of the divine world, and even now there are signs of this.

It’s not appropriate to ask directly now, you have to proceed step by step.

After searching around for a while, Ye Qing stopped at the door and reached out to knock on it.

"Edmund, have you ever opened your door?"

"That's not the case..."

Hearing Ye Qing's voice, Edmund poked his head out of the room.

"Here, this is empty, should we chisel it open?"

Ye Qing pointed out to Edmund the spot in the center of the main door, a spot that ordinary people would not normally knock on the door.

Edmund rushed out of the room in a hurry, but he stopped with a hammer and chisel in his hand. Looking at the old wooden door, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

At this time, Ye Qing also saw that above the task completion rate, the NPC's trust had begun to fluctuate. It was not going to decrease, but to increase.

"If this door is important..."

"Do not."

Edmund's eyes became determined. He raised the hammer and chisel in his hands and knocked on the old door in front of him.

"The truth is more important to me!"

Exclusive tasks:

Pale Justice/Foolish Loyalty (1/8)

The first stage of the mission: Go to Edmund's house and find the relics left by Knight Sandro.

Mission completed, mission item obtained: Iris Medal.

Order of the Iris

Item Description:

An Imperial Knight's Medal sealed with oil, the name inside can still be clearly seen - Sandro

Please note: The rewards for exclusive tasks depend on the completion of the task, and the completion of the task is related to the trust of the NPC.

Mission completion: 20%

Edmund took the oil-sealed medal, pulled up his clothes and wiped off the oil. The Iris Medal reflected the silvery light under the mineral lamp.

"The keepsake is here, after all these years..."

Looking at the intact medal in his hand, Edmund suddenly began to tremble with excitement and was speechless for a moment.

Twenty percent completion rate was within Ye Qing's expectations.

Unfortunately, perhaps because I didn't contact Edmund at his lowest point, the completion rate of the first mission was only 20%. But who knows, there may be a lot of changes this time, and who knows whether it will be good or bad.

"Look carefully first. There seems to be words on the back of this medal."

When Edmund was so excited that he didn't know what to do, Ye Qing was the first to remind him.

After hearing Ye Qing's voice, Edmund hurriedly turned over the Iris Medal, wiped off the oil on the surface, and saw the small words engraved on the back of the medal.

The font was very neat, and it was obviously printed by magic.

"To those who come later"

"The Barren Mountain does not need the truth, and neither does the Empire."

Just these two simple lines of words made Edmund clench his teeth immediately. His right hand couldn't help but clench the Iris Medal tightly, and his fingertips couldn't help but clasp into his palm.
