The magician who goes astray

Chapter 278 Not a Secret
The two came to the entrance of the village, stood outside and looked around, hoping to find some usable clues.

After approaching the village, they finally heard some voices that did not belong to the two of them.

There was a rustle in the darkness, and the night pointed the bright flashlight at the source of the sound, and a foot-long black leather mouse poked its head out from the garbage dump, baring its fangs to demonstrate at the two of them.

"Nutrition is good, she grows big, and she is quite fat."

This mouse is an ordinary monster at level 24, and Ye Guang didn't have the time to kill it and add a little experience, so he just let it go.

"Where are we going? The system marked the location of the Lord of the Secret Realm for me. It is in the southwest of the village. I can go there and kill him at any time."

Qin Zhiliangyu found out the approximate size of the village on the main interface. It is a medium-sized village with a fairly complete set of facilities.

"That is to say, the village head of Rakanal is a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered?"

Ye Guang frowned slightly. He thought that if he gave up the hidden mission, the liberation of the professional mission would become so easy?

Don't even need to clear mobs?
However, he then thought that this was the first secret realm, and some special changes were considered normal and within the understandable range.

"Let's wait. Since the lord of the secret realm won't run away, we might as well kill him on the last day, so as not to startle the enemy and miss some clues."

Qin Zhiliangyu pondered for a while, and nodded lightly. It was totally worth waiting for two days to hide the occupation scroll.

"Come on, let's go in."

An almost broken wooden fence surrounded the entire village, but there was no obstacle at all, even a lame goat could easily cross it.

"Turn off the flashlight first, let's go to the bright place on the right." Night said cautiously.

The behavior of phototaxis is not limited to insects, but humans also have it. When there is no target, it is an instinct to move towards the light.

Where there is light, there may be people, and at present, this mission can be said to be clueless, the only clues are those footprints.

"From the entrance of the village to here, it's about 100 meters away, and there's not a single person."

Qin Zhiliangyu stopped in his tracks and stood in front of the door of this hotel, his eyebrows slightly frowned.

The hotel is a two-story building with a small scale, with at most six or seven rooms. The main entrance is covered by a cloth curtain full of oil stains, and only a little light is revealed from the gap.

"After all, it's night here. It's estimated to be around ten o'clock. Maybe people here go to bed earlier, which is normal."

Looking around again at night, I found that apart from this hotel, only the temple in the center of each village and a mysterious area on the edge have lights, and everything else is dark.

If it weren't for these three lights, I'm afraid he would also think this is a ghost village, it's too ugly.

Of course, it's not just the villages. In fact, when the city is in a power outage, the terrifying atmosphere of being alone is even better than a silent village!
Ye Shi frowned, seeing Qin Zhi Liangyu staring at him with wide eyes, she could only give a wry smile and took a step forward to open the curtain for her.

Greasy, extremely greasy feel, as if this is not a door curtain, but a rag used to wipe the table with oil and water!
Qin Zhiliangyu smiled mischievously, and then walked in from Ye Shi's side. She really couldn't bear this disgusting curtain, and it even had a strange smell.

So at this time, I have to help the man around me.

The space behind the curtain is the hall, where more than a dozen tables and chairs are scattered, and there is an escalator leading to the second floor on the far right.

In the innermost part of the hall was a wooden bar, on which lay a somewhat skinny man, who seemed to be the boss here, dozing off.

There is also a prominent name on its head, the hotel owner: Scott.

"Boss, we want to stay in the hotel!" Ye Shi said after knocking on the bar.

"You still want to live here?"

Qin Zhiliangyu stared at him in disbelief when he heard the words, did this person really think they were here for an adventure tour?Shouldn't they be here to scout for clues?

"Otherwise, where are we going to find this hidden monster in such a dark day?"

Ye Shi glanced at her suspiciously, and then remembered that Qin Zhiliangyu had no relevant knowledge, nor had he done similar work.

"Oh? There are still outsiders here at this late hour. Are you also here to see the village chief?"

Scott behind the bar yawned, his eyes were struggling with exhaustion.

"Ah...well, yes, take a look."

Ye Guang followed the other party's words and made a haha, and just fooled it.

But the doubts in his heart are getting heavier and heavier. The village chief here is the Lord of the Secret Realm, the mutated Rakanal.

But it seems that this news is not a secret, something that everyone knows?

"For accommodation, one gold coin per night." Scott stretched out his hand and begged him for gold coins.

Ye Shi asked while handing out a gold coin: "I heard that the village chief... what the hell is going on with him?"

As the first npc he saw, he naturally wanted to collect some information.

There was a reminder in the mission that the village chief had mutated, and just now the buddy said, "Will you come to see the village chief?", so he asked the question in a very vague way.

Because there is still a small chance that the village head is "ill", and seeing that the village head means visiting, rashly asking questions may be counterproductive.

"Who knows, some people say that he ate poisonous fruit by mistake, some say that he practiced the forbidden spell, and some say that he blasphemed the gods and was cursed."

The man threw the gold coin in the air, caught it with his hand, and then threw out a key.

"The room is on the second floor, the first one is. Oh, by the way, no matter what sounds you two hear at night, don't take it to heart. It's quite noisy here at night."

Ye Shi nodded after taking the key. The other party seemed to have no intention of taking them there, so he could only go there by himself.

Qin Zhiliangyu also looked normal, and did not react to Scott's words.

But in the team chat column, she silently sent a blank-eyed emoji to express her inner dissatisfaction with Scott's words.

"This is really the déjà vu of a horror movie! Something special will happen at night? Isn't this a routine?"

Night curled his lips, this kind of routine is not uncommon in horror movies, and there are always one or two people who don't believe in evil and are too curious to watch.

Then type GG to exit the group chat.

After going upstairs and opening the door, a musty smell rushed over, making both of them frown.

A wooden table, a few stools, a cabinet, and a bed with a lamp on top of the table, nothing more, not even a quilt.

"Sit down, the time in this dungeon is the opposite of that in reality. If there is no movement within an hour, we'd better go offline and wait for the night and the daytime in the game."

Ye Shi took out the paper towels bought in the living area, wiped the stool and the table, and then lit the lamp with the Molten Spirit, he didn't want to touch the bed.

"If it weren't for the generous rewards, I really don't want to do such a time-consuming and laborious task."

Qin Zhiliangyu muttered, then sat down beside him.

"I'm really interested in this task. Even though the village chief has confirmed that it's a monster, there are hidden monsters, which are monsters that the aborigines don't even know about. It's very interesting!"
