Chapter 97: The Fish-Man Clan
The old blind man looked embarrassed, reached out and touched the fins on his head, and stroked the long whiskers around his mouth.
After a while, the old fish shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Laila, it's not that I don't help, but this matter involves my clansmen...... What happened back then......"
Twenty years ago, the Banyan Grassland was home to the Fish-People.
At that time, Lava Castle was not yet on its current scale, and the Fishmen lived in the vast waters of the Banyan Grassland, living in peace with other intelligent races, living a peaceful and peaceful life without any quarrel with the world.
This lasted until the current king of fishmen, Yuka, ascended to the throne.
For some reason, the leader of the fishmen gradually became irritable and aggressive, and under Yuka's influence, the fishmen around him also became bloodthirsty.
After attacking the human caravan and reaping the abundant "harvest", the violence became uncontrollable, and people gradually began to "talk about fish and people", and gradually moved away from the once peaceful and beautiful place of Banyan Grassland.
"But not everyone agrees with Juca's philosophy,"
The old blind eye squinted his eyes as usual, and said slowly: "I made an appointment with a few companions to leave the tyrannical and fishless tribe together, so in the early hours of that morning, we escaped together......
It was also the first time for Leila to hear the inside story of this matter, and her expression was focused, and she couldn't help but ask, "But why did my father only touch you?" ”
The old blind man bowed his head and said: "Captain Quinn must not have told you, including me, he has seen a total of 5 fish people, but only I am a complete one, and the rest ......"
At this point, everyone had already guessed what had happened back then, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little silent.
Leila frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, and looked at the old blind eye and said, "For so many years, you have never stepped out of the gate of the Lava Castle, is it because of this?" ”
"Yes." The old blind nodded, and said with a long sigh.
For Lu Kuan, it is still a great sense of accomplishment and substitution to understand the background story of the game, but his purpose is not here.
"But, is this related to the matter of Qingshui Village?" Lu Kuan wondered.
"Of course it does,"
The old blind glanced at Lu Kuan, and said lightly: "The bottle of blood you brought, no matter what kind of animal it is, must have been bitten by Yuka's pet, and depending on the situation, you won't live for three days at most." ”
Hearing this, Lu Kuan's eyes immediately lit up, and he followed up and asked, "Is there a cure for this poison?" ”
The old blind eye had already let go of the burden in his heart at this time, and said directly: "Yes, as long as you add the juice of Houttuynia cordata to the ordinary life elixir, but this kind of grass can only grow on the island in the middle of the lake in the Banyan Plain." ”
Lu Kuan frowned and said, "Island in the middle of the lake...... Is there a monster guarding it, or is it guarded by you fishmen? ”
"No, Houttuynia cordata grows there, and there aren't any monsters around." The old blind said.
"It's that simple?" Lu Kuan was a little skeptical, after such a big circle, this task must not be completed so easily, right?
"Of course not,"
The old blind giant head turned to Lu Kuan, and said with a meaningful smile: "Because of this Houttuynia cordata, only fish people can pick it." ”
……
On the street, Laila walked like the wind in front, and Lu Kuan was still behind, thinking about the information revealed by the old blind eye just now.
Unexpectedly, there was such a tortuous past twenty years ago.
The old blind man agreed to accompany Lu Kuan to pick Houttuynia cordata, on the condition that Lu Kuan guaranteed to find an opportunity to kill Yukka and free the fish-man tribe of the Banyan Grassland from the rule of this terrifying fish-man lord.
Lu Kuan agreed to the old blind condition without hesitation - this kind of task, in the end, it must be done by Tao Bo, and this cheap will not be picked up in vain.
"Alright, I'm going back to the barracks,"
When she came to the intersection, Leila stopped and turned around, took out a beautifully patterned cloth bag from her waist, raised her hand and threw it to Lu Kuan: "Go and return it to Aunt Mitchell, say hello to her for me." ”
"Thank you~" Lu Kuan took the cloth bag and replied with a smile.
Leila glanced at Lu Kuan a few times and said, "I don't know why, every time I see your expression, I always think of those cunning foxes, are you calculating others all the time?" ”
Lu Kuan didn't dare to wear this hat, so he quickly shook his head and denied it, Laila pursed her cute little mouth disdainfully, and turned around with her subordinates to leave.
Lu Kuan looked at Leila's slender and heroic back, and was a little reluctant to withdraw his gaze: This figure, this curve, and this tight skin that can only be possessed by perennial exercise, tsk~ It's a pity, it's just a little grumpy~
When Lu Kuan was reminiscing, he remembered a pleasant system prompt in his ears, which made Lu Kuan a little surprised.
"Congratulations, you have completed the quest Liela's Favor (Difficulty C), 100% completion, and the reward has been increased."
"Gain 300 XP and gain +50 Layla's opinion of you."
The system prompt is clearly written, Lu Kuan didn't notice that he had also taken on a task before, and there was no substantial reward for completing the Golden Trial, which could be regarded as a crooked fight, which made the Golden Trial somewhat valuable.
"Do you have to thank the moonlit night meteor for this?" Lu Kuan thought happily.
Shang withdrew his gaze and opened the cloth bag in his hand.
Scissors, silk threads of various colors, wooden rulers...... Inside the bag is a complete set of sewing utensils, even the most inconspicuous steel needle, the item description is purple.
"Lost Inscription Sewing Needle (Relic Grade Material, Quest Item)
sewing
Durability: 33%
Conditions of use: Sewing skills level 7, formation knowledge level 7
Equipment: +50 for the user's sewing skills, +1% overall success rate for crafting items.
”
It's too extravagant, it's too extravagant!
Lu Kuan's eyes lit up, staring at this small sewing needle, his saliva was about to flow, if this thing was put in the auction house, how could it be sold for 1,000 gold coins.
Unfortunately, it's just a quest item.
Lu Kuan packed up his mood, packed up his things, and went directly to Mitchell's tailor shop.
Seeing Lu Kuan take out his sewing bag, Mitchell smiled and said, "Thank you, adventurer, are you still happy with my niece?" ”
"It's good, it's good." Lu Kuan said insincerely.
Mitchell showed a look that understood everything, took out a large piece of thick black cloth from the box on the table, and said to Lu Kuan: "The materials you brought, I have already processed them into fabrics, and they will be made into backpacks soon, you go downstairs and wait for a while." ”
Lu Kuan nodded and went downstairs to the first floor.
While waiting downstairs, the three of Tsing Yi and Dai Guang both sent a message, and the four of them had already met to form a team and were busy in Qingshui Village.
After the opening of Qingshui Village, a series of plots centered on Lu Kuan's missions, including finding herbs to alleviate the injuries of the saber-toothed tigers, scouting suspicious situations in the surrounding waters, killing raging water monsters, etc., and finally exchanging rewards while increasing the prestige of Taobo.
