Chapter 38: The death of the poet (3)

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng continued to wander around the city blindly, and received several branch tasks one after another. For example, "Mr. Tok's little toys", "Mary's troubles" and so on.
These small tasks are not difficult, but the content of the task is the same as "Cecilia's Bakery", which has a subtle relationship with each other, and gradually depicts a life picture belonging to the country of Yueyin for Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng. .
This is a place without flowers and trees. A small stone city grows in the desert, far away from the rest of the mainland. Even the most experienced businessmen have to walk for a long time before they can reach the Principality of France, which is closest to them.
Not to mention that at the southernmost tip of the mainland, that four seasons of spring is a kingdom of flowers.
Jin Cheng took the igniter and walked all the way to light up the oil lamps along the street. These lamps are covered with colorful hollow glass covers, which are said to be sold only in the most prosperous small windmill harbour in the north of the mainland.
The last king of the country of Yueyin spent a lot of thought to transport these lampshades back. He installed these lampshades on the side of the street and said to his people, "When the lamp is on, the colorful glazes bloom like flowers, mine People don’t have to watch the wind and sand all day long."
The task they are doing at this time is called "Billy's Flower".
Billy is a blind man who lives alone and never goes out after night, but he still hopes that the long street in front of the door will light up every night. There are a total of ninety-nine lamps on the Long Street. After completing the task, the two received a glazed lamp that can be carried in their hands as a reward.
The reward items in these tasks are also related to each other. For example, the reward items in this task can be used in other tasks, depending on whether you want it or not.
Although he completed the task, Jin Cheng kept lighting the lights. He had a whim and said he wanted to see how the lights were on throughout the city. Tang Cuo went with him. Although he didn't understand the style, he still had a basic appreciation of beauty.
Walking on the long streets of the mysterious country like this, lighting up all the way, searching all the way, and putting the pieces together into a complete story, I feel pretty good.
This is also the calmest moment in his heart since he entered Yongye City.
"Look here." Jin Cheng's tone suddenly brought a hint of interest. The lit lamp illuminates a small green door sandwiched between two buildings, and he reads the bronze medal "Popolo Island Ivy League Office in Yueyin Country."
Under the moon night, this green door is really unremarkable. The office is also pitifully small like it was in an alley. The door could not be pushed open, Jin Cheng carefully looked at the keyhole and turned his head to ask, "What about Cecilia's key?"
Tang Cuo had long thought that the key was already in his hand. He stepped forward to insert the key, turned it, and clicked, and the door opened.
There are no lights in the house, and in such a narrow place, there is naturally no window to let the moonlight in. Tang Cuo took out the glazed lamp, lit it and brought it in.
Although the office is small, it has all the internal organs. Directly opposite the door is a reception desk, with a blackboard hanging on the right, with many notices and notes. Below the blackboard is a bookshelf, and Jin Cheng takes a newspaper from above—it is the Dodo Daily.
"It seems that Jack's newspaper is from here." Jin Cheng said. After all, they walked so many places and did not see any newspapers to sell.
"The latest newspaper is also July 30?" Tang Cuo asked.
Jin Cheng quickly looked through, and then gave a positive answer. In addition to the newspaper on July 30, there is a whole week ahead, and there will be no more later. According to the existing clues, it should be a long distance and inconvenient transportation, so the overall news of the country of Yueyin is one month later than the rest of the mainland. Thinking this way, Jin Cheng simply took down all the newspapers, went round the chair behind the counter and sat down to read slowly.
Tang Cuo saw that he had taken the newspaper, and he began to study the blackboard. The two had a clear division of labor.
The blackboard is basically about the Ivy League, and Tang Cuo also learned after reading it that Ivy League is a bounty hunter organization. The headquarters of the organization, Popolo Island, is separated from the small windmill harbour by the Black Strait, and its offices are spread across the mainland.
In short, this is an organization that has existed for no more than a hundred years, but is very strong and allows the royal families of all countries to be treated with courtesy.
It's a bit like the adventurer's guild in Tang Cuo's cognition, except that the adventurer is changed to a bounty hunter. After joining the organization, these bounty hunters must also maintain the original intention of the establishment of the Ivy League-to eliminate all evil.
What does darkness mean?
Tang Cuo thinks of the "July Rose Incident", a sect of roses, mentioned in the newspaper. Thinking about it this way, Tang Cuo speeded up the browsing speed, and found his traces in small lines.
Last month, according to the report of His Excellency Roger Reid, the activities of the Rose sect in the Principality of France increased...
Principality of France?
Isn't this the place closest to the country of Yueyin? "Supervisor" Roger Reid, who also appeared in the report of the July Rose incident, should be the top of the Ivy League.
Tang Cuo used to look for something, and he wouldn't miss it in any corner. The paper on the blackboard was stacked on top of each other, so he looked at one and took it off until-a sign appeared on the blackboard.
The golden inverted pentagram, in the middle is a blooming red rose.
Rose sect.
But why does the Rose sect logo appear in the Ivy League office? Could it be that their power has spread here?
Tang Cuo's eyes couldn't help but look out of the door. On September 1st, the Hua Chao Festival should be the time when the crowd was surging. Coupled with the news of the Principality of France mentioned earlier, the outline of the story seems clear.
"What's your gain there?" Tang Cuo asked back.
"No." Jin Cheng shrugged. "There didn't seem to be any major events in the week except July Rose, but there are a lot of lace news. Do you want to listen?"
Tang Cuo, of course, don't listen.
Jin Chengfei wanted to tell him, "Lancelot has a good friend named Theodore, hereditary Duke of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom. He is an upright, brave and handsome knight. Do you think they have brotherhood?"
Tang Cuo "..."
You, a straight man, are really upset.
Jin Cheng dropped the newspaper, tilted Erlang's legs, and supported his chin on the counter with his elbows, saying, "Really don't guess? Ten points of gambling."
Tang Cuo "I guess not."
For ten points, Tangcuo succumbed.
Jin Cheng was not very satisfied with his answer. But when he was ready, he closed and said, "What did you find?"
Tang Cuo talked about the Rose Sect.
Jin Cheng stepped forward to see, "The Rose Sect, the Well of Time, the Flower Festival, the live rose, and the dead city all seem to be related. The problem is still the location of the Well of Time. With our luck, I guess it might be in that palace."
Tang Cuo "You can also avoid such a crow mouth."
Jin Cheng shrugged, and he did not do it on purpose. The main Mr. Crow was a crow, and he always cursed Jin Cheng.
The two then left the office and decided to find a library. There may be a plan of the country of the moon hidden in the library, which can determine the specific location of the well of time.
An hour later, the two did not find the library, but found a school. Just stepping into the school gate, the new system broadcast came again with a "ding".
"Trigger feeder task-Eve's bookmark."
"Little Eve is a careless child, but she is also a good child who is clever and sensible. Even if she is sad and sad, she will only secretly hide in the corner and cry alone. Traveler from a foreign country, please help her find the lost bookmark, Allow this poor child to go to class with peace of mind."
Jin Cheng went to light the lamp first, and incidentally vomited, "This hidden copy is full of humanistic care. It’s either that Yongye City has a bug, or that we want to relax our vigilance, and then use the roses to tie us up and throw it into the well of time to drown."
You can shut up.
Tang Cuo turned away and did not want to ignore him. His destination is very clear, that is the music classroom. Almost all the side missions in this copy are inextricably linked to Lancelot, and the place where the bookmark is located may also be related to him.
But this school is too small, there is no special music classroom, and Tang Cuo walked, and actually saw the library that can not be found-yes, there may not be a special library in the city, but there must be in the school library.
"Squeak." Tang Cuo pushed the door in.
There was no lamp in the room, but the moonlight was very bright, so he did not light the lamp. He pulled out a hard-shell book from the shelf and read the words on the book-"Encyclopedia of Sicilian Continental Plants" by moonlight.
Open the book, not only detailed notes, but also illustrations for each plant. In the middle is a borrowing card with the borrower's name written in different fonts.
Tang Cuo didn't see the familiar name, put down the book temporarily, and changed another one.
"Journey to Lilian" is still extremely detailed. The style of writing is vivid and interesting, accompanied by cute hand-painted illustrations, which depicts the protagonist Lilian on the mainland.
"The Elf's Sonnet", "Secret of the Lake", "Sicilian Fairy Tales" and so on, every book has something to say, as if there is a long history of Sicily in the world.
Tang Cuo even found a copy of "General Rules of Magic".
"I think we have a large epic copy." Jin Cheng's voice came from behind.
"How to say?" Tang Cuo turned back.
"Don't you think the setting of this world is too detailed? Humanities, geography, including these books, and countless detailed settings, if only for us to find Lancelot's body, it is too wasteful."
"This is just the first ring."
Tang Cuo has almost perverted intuition, this first ring is just the beginning of the story, the real adventure is still behind. He couldn't help but looked down at the book in his hand. This "Magic Principles" is equivalent to the guide book of introductory magic, starting with the basic meditation, and then introducing simple introductory mantras.
The more difficult magic circle was taken in one stroke, and the potion was another branch.
Become a magician?
Tang Cuo thinks of Leng Miao, a well-known big magician in area a. He is also good at space magic and can reach area f from area a with the fastest speed.
At this time, Jin Cheng again said, "Want to listen to the instructor's opinion?"
Tang Cuo turned around and saw that he was leaning on the bookshelf with his arms still unshaped. But Tang Cuo knew he was reliable, so he nodded honestly.
Jin Cheng’s corners are slightly curved.
In the early days, there are not many points. It’s best to specialize in one direction. Compared to long-distance occupations, you are more suitable for melee combat, but you don’t have to be overwhelmed. You can also learn the magic. A magic that suits your own skills and does not require high skills to assist in combat."
Tang Cuo also thought this way. Hesitated before, just because the path of magic is already in front of him. If he chooses close combat, I don't know if he has this chance.
k27216, after all, is a warrior who likes to cut people with a knife.
"The number of battles in Yongye City, no matter what direction, warrior or mage, can be roughly divided into two growth paths-self-study and education."
The domineering instructor went online, and under the moonlight, Jin Cheng's eyes showed a few traces of seriousness and majesty, even the lines of his face seemed to be hardened.
"Self-study is like you are now. Find your way in the copy and explore the possibility of becoming a magician. You may succeed or you may fail. Talent, effort, and luck are indispensable."
"Cuckoo education is simpler, mission clearance, system rewards, no need to delve into it, you should get it."
Tang Cuo thinks of "fireball" and "air walk" in the skill bar. These two skills do not need to be practiced. If you learn it, you just learn it. You just use it.
"The difference between a master and an ordinary player?" he asked.
"Not necessarily." Jin Cheng shook his head, "Yongye City has unlimited possibilities. The more difficult the copy, the more likely it is to reward high-level skills when clearing customs. But you have to remember that you can live to the end of the real Experts must be self-taught, because they are stable enough."
Although Jin Cheng is a good swordman, Tang Cuo, as a former student, knows how much he emphasizes steady play. Only if the foundation is strong enough, can the sword go forward.
"Choose a self-taught person, he may not have a result, but he has a process of hard work. Even if it is unsuccessful in the end, his overall quality has been improved in this process, and Yongye City’s assessment of his viability will naturally have Increased. Of course, this road needs opportunities, not everyone can find a way to get started in the copy. In this case, you can only retreat first and seek second."
Survival is justice.
Tang Cuo remembered this sentence again, in this Yongye City with infinite possibilities, even the worst players have a chance to survive. As Jin Cheng said, talent, effort, and luck are all important.
"Aside from the seemingly similar magic and powers, which are better or worse, it is difficult to have a standard judgment. Magic requires a spell, a staff, but powers are not used. But powers cannot choose their own attributes, Awakening into which department is which department, the magician is more flexible. Although most magicians specialize in one department, they will make themselves stronger in this department, but the magic of other departments is not unusable." Jin Cheng said.
"It seems that there are more abilities in Yongye City than there are magicians?" Tang Cuo asked.
"That's because there are few copies of magic, and it's harder to get started. You have known for a long time in Yongye City that abilities are like dogs and gunmen are everywhere." Then, Jin Cheng's tone brought a trace make fun of.
"how about you?"
"Bows and arrows are a kind of martial arts, but I also built an ability, you should have guessed it-sound waves."
Jin Cheng played the strings with a bowed string, and the sound wave oscillated, truly attacking indiscriminately. Tang Cuo loves him this way, but he has no music cells, so think about it.
"According to the general setting, the orthodox knighthood education is monopolized by the nobility. I am afraid there will not be such a small school. While no one is disturbing now, you learn magic first, I will find a bookmark."
The overbearing instructor once again arranged Tang Cuo clearly, Tang Cuo was lazy, and was happy to be arranged, holding a book and found a corner full of moonlight to sit cross-legged and try meditation.
Jin Cheng continued to turn the book.
The branch tasks in this copy are very simple, maybe the bookmark is in the book. The library is not large, and there are six rows of large bookshelves. It is not difficult to turn them all quickly.
Look for maps by the way.
The time passed by one minute and one second, the two did not disturb each other, only the sound of flipping through the book quietly flowing.
