Chapter VII
After agreeing to hear about the difficulties of the village of Andora, An Yizhi was given a rather grand welcome. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is specifically manifested as being invited into the biggest and best house in the village, the village chief's house.
The table in front of him was filled with fresh melons and fruits in season, and a pot of pale yellow drink with a hint of sweetness, which was mouth-watering.
An Yizhi was worried that the reason for the illness of the villagers of Andora in the main quest was related to eating and drinking, and he didn't try to experience the fun of eating in this dungeon.
During the conversation, he learned that the old man was the village chief of Andora Village, and An Yizhi casually exchanged a few words and got to the point.
"What are your difficulties?"
"Dear Lord Ann, here's the thing"
As the village chief burst into tears, An Yizhi gradually understood the purpose of the mission.
To the north, outside the village of Andora, there is a gentle stream more than four meters wide. In the past, this not too deep stream was mainly used for the villagers to wash their clothes and vegetables, and occasionally catch a fish, catch a shrimp, and make a tooth sacrifice or something.
However, a month ago, the river's water quality was polluted. The river became muddy overnight, and after a few days, the pollution worsened, leaving a thick layer of black grease on the surface of the water, as well as a foul smell.
Originally, the villagers didn't pay much attention to it, the small river was still some distance away from the village, and the water they usually drank was the well water in the village, so whether the river water could be used or not did not have much impact.
The next thing that happened was about them.
The villagers fell ill one after another, first as old people and later as prime of life, and realized that the polluted river water was probably polluted along with the well water they relied on for their livelihood.
"If this continues, the 200-year-old village of Andora will be abandoned, and the villagers will have to be displaced."
Seeing that An Yizhi was silent, the village chief hurriedly added:
"Of course, we will be ready to satisfy the mage."
Just wait for his words.
No matter how pitiful it is, the game is just a game after all, and expect players in reality to care about the life and death of NPCs? How can it be.
"Haven't you explored upstream?"
"Go, a couple of great guys. All of them are experts in hunting in the mountains and forests, but none of them have returned, so no one dares to go again."
The source of the river's water pollution is definitely upstream, and this is a copy of the magical setting, and there will be no things like chemical plants.
In this way, it seems that the source of the pollution is either powerful monsters, or magic-related devices or mechanisms.
Considering that the dealer said that Ann Yizhi picked the simplest growth copy, the possibility of powerful monsters is relatively low, and even if there are eighty percent, they are in a state of almost finishing.
The goal of the main quest is very clear, you only need to go upstream to solve the problem of the pollution source, and the growth dungeon is done.
However, this is not in line with the interests of An Yizhi, and the system should not just set up such a village as a clue to the main quest, so simple words can be said directly, and it is enough to use the task overview, so it can be seen that there must be some side quests to dig.
As soon as he thought of this, An Yizhi was about to open his mouth to ask the village chief if there was anything else he needed help with, when a young man about 20 years old came in at the door and interrupted him.
"Father, how can you trust such a person of unknown origin"
"Shut up! Hurry up and apologize to Lord Ann Yizhi."
The village chief's reprimand did not work, but only aroused the rebellion of the young people.
"I'm not wrong! You look at his age, even if he can spell, how powerful he is. Maybe he stole the mage's cane and came out to deceive! ”
An touched his smooth chin with one finger, but he didn't expect that he had a hairless mouth and a habit of not doing things well, and he even had a copy.
"Master Mage, please don't be angry"
The village chief turned around and kicked the young man and shouted:
"Don't get out of here, do you want to be angry with me! If you annoy the mage, no one will be able to save you."

[Let the village chief's father and son believe in the player's strength]
The village chief said it nicely, but he didn't seem to believe much in An Yizhi, at best, he was a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Otherwise, the task prompt won't say that the village chief is father and son.
Directly threw out an unstable compound to blow up the village chief's son?
This is obviously not a good choice, the lethality of the unstable compound is not high, and the movement is not small. Besides, it's too brutal to blow up people if you don't agree with each other.
Well, there's only one option. There's no way, An Yizhi only has two skills.
"Quiet! Don't even be noisy."
An Yizhi pretended to be enraged, and slammed the ground with the 'novice stick'. Quietly took out a small ball of wool from the inventory and secretly clasped it in his hand, and activated the disorderly refining.
In terms of sound and light effects, disordered refining is much better than unstable compounds, which simply have two more tubes in their hands and throw them out. The former formed a colorful ball of light in the palm of An Yizhi's hand, contracting like breathing, and the effect of fooling people should be good.
Under the cover of the strong light, the small clumps of wool gradually deformed, decomposed, and reassembled, and finally when the halo dissipated, An Yizhi had an extra pointed wizard hat in his hand.
【Wizard Hat】
Quality: Decorations
Description: This will make your push go up.
The description is as malicious as ever, but the purpose is almost achieved, and people just eat it. The expressions of the village chief's father and son were as if they had been slapped hard, and they watched in a daze as An Yizhi put his hat on his head.
In any case, since it is installed, it must be installed to the end......
From the conversation with the village chief, Ann Yizhi learned that in this dungeon, the caster of spells such as mages has a transcendent status, belongs to the ruling class, and is granted rights according to their strength.
Therefore, An Yizhi put on his hat and showed a proud and reserved smile to the village chief's father and son, fully interpreting the contempt and disdain of what it means to be in a high position.
To be honest, quite under-flat.
"Take me to the river"
As he spoke, An got up and went out of the door, and the village chief's father and son came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.
【Side quest completed】
[Gain 500 XP points]
Hearing the system prompt, An Yizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't get past it, he would have to think about throwing a shot of unstable compound in their faces.
The river was not far from the village, and at first they didn't think it would affect them.
"Look, Master Mage, that's it"
The village chief was more respectful than when they first met, and by the way, his son bowed his head like a frosted eggplant and pretended to be an ostrich.
An Yizhi immediately brought up the system panel that only the player could see, and lowered the olfactory simulation to a minimum......
Nima, this is a river, it's a septic tank at all.
The surface of the black river was mixed with and yellow things, and there was no trace of 'water' in sight, and occasionally the dry bones and corpses of some unknown animals floated by, and the nausea multiplied.
【Main Quest Update】
【Exploring the source of the river】
Pinching his nose, Ann pointed upstream and couldn't find the source of the pollution as far as his eye could see. The upper reaches of the river is a dense forest, and it seems that the source can only be found along the river.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Heavenly Father, my Lord, give me divine power to save the world from affliction and will sing praises to your goodness. You walk on the earth as your ......"
A priest in a red robe leads villagers to kneel in front of a polluted river in prayer.
Then things took a turn for the worse, and a carriage drove into the village of Andora.
The village chief is not alone in the village. The person who came was a priest invited by another clan elder in the village to the temple in the city, a middle-aged man in a red robe.
The side quest that Ann Yizhi has been looking for has also been updated.
【Side Quest Activation】
【Defeat Priest Anderson】
It is really the least difficult copy, the sharp-beaked monkey has triangular eyes and bald eyes, and a solemn red robe can't hide the obscene atmosphere of bad pus.
This pastor named Anderson is not a good person at first glance, and his appearance speaks for itself.
In this quest setting, they are also spellcasters. The theocracy represented by the priest and the human rights represented by the mage do not please each other, although they do not fight to the death when they meet, they do not have a good face.
The so-called two masters are not bothered, the village chief saw the priest of the temple coming, and carefully accompanied his face, for fear that An Yizhi would be angry and kill him in a fit of anger.
- The mage can do this.
An Yizhi said that he was not in a hurry, and first looked at what medicine was sold in the gourd of this Anderson pastor who was required to be defeated. Of course, on the surface, you still have to pretend to be unhappy.
As the prayers grew louder and louder, the scene became more and more sacred.
The morning light pierced the white fog and shone like a sword from heaven on the polluted river. The white light points then slowly drifted away, and everyone present even felt a trace of warmth.
The foul river gradually became clear and transparent, and even the "refreshing" stench disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this situation, the villagers' enthusiasm for prayer became stronger, and one by one they instantly turned into devout believers, and kept singing the praises of the "Lord".
The god stick really knows how to play.
I have to say that in terms of winning people's hearts, these people are very skilled. Anderson's sound and light effects were more than a little stronger than when Ann flickered the village chief's father and son.
[Hint: You are affected by a second-class scenario illusion spell]
However, a sentence in the battle log revealed the essence of his magic stick.
"The Lord has sent down divine grace to purify this cursed river"
Anderson's expression was serious, his voice was solemn, and he waved his hand to spill out a little light particle.
If this picture is higher, it may be good, but now...... An Yizhi felt similar to a big horse monkey wearing a dragon robe, nondescript.
At this time, the red-robed pastor turned his head to face An Yizhi, who was watching the play on the side:
"My lord has solved the trouble, so I won't bother with the mage's people here."
Scold? I didn't come to provoke you, but you started the trouble first?
An Yi pointed out that this person's upbringing is basically a history of provocation and counter-provocation. Because of the relationship between the second secondary school disease and Lin Linglin's favor, he was often troubled by people inside and outside the school.
In terms of force, there was no need for An Yi to point out, and Lin Linglin learned about it and pulled them all away. (In fact, he runs to fight with people and generally belongs to the one who gets beaten.)
He has never been afraid of anyone in terms of spraying the bad, and the most powerful record is to make a Lin Linglin suitor in the next class so bad that he dropped out of the school.
Unable to lift his eyelids, Ann snorted lightly at Anderson with a finger of his nostrils.
"Bald!"
