There were a lot of people in the tavern, and Mo Xiaoyao pushed the door open without attracting anyone's attention. The sound of opening and closing the door was covered by the noisy conversation and the musicians' performance.
If only donkeys, dogs, cats and roosters could be called musicians.
Having said that, she herself has become a rabbit. In this world, what else is impossible
After scanning around, Mo Xiaoyao didn't see either Jiang Yan or Meng Danyang. She herself was like this, and she couldn't tell who among those people was an aborigine and who was a player. At this time, there happened to be a small table in the corner that was empty, so Mo Xiaoyao simply squeezed over it, picked up the menu that the waiter put on the table, and first ordered some food for himself.
While waiting for the food to be served, Mo Xiaoyao has been observing the four musicians. If she remembers correctly, in the original story, these four animals have worked in the owner's house all their lives. When it moves, it is about to be slaughtered-the phrase "killing the donkey by unloading the mill" is perfect here.
After that, the donkey took the lead, and met a dog, a cat and a rooster along the way, and they planned to go to Bremen together as a music team. As a result, they encountered a robber's house on the way, and used tricks to scare the robber away. They settled there and lived a happy and stable life.
So at this point in time, did they pass by this village, or were they invited here later? Mo Xiaoyao thought about it, picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of the apple juice that had just been delivered.
The current situation is that the fairy-tale characters in the side quests will not take the initiative to find them. If anyone finds the fairy-tale characters among the NPCs, they need to go up and strike up a conversation with them to trigger the quest. Moreover, this kind of flirting is personal, and after being triggered, it will enter the single-player instance. No matter what the result is, after it comes out, other people will no longer remember that the fairy tale character appeared.
To put it simply, the side missions are one-time, cannot be copied, cannot be shared, first come, first served... the rewards are a bit tricky. So Mo Xiaoyao is a little undecided now, whether she should go to contact those four animals or not, she is really afraid that her "three value" will drop further.
Cthulhumo Xiaoyao doesn't know much about it, but she also knows that it's not a good thing to drop like this at 10 o'clock and 15 o'clock. Maybe she is on the verge of collapse now, maybe the tavern in front of her, and what she drank That glass of apple juice with an uneven color is a fantasy.
Everything is possible.
While thinking about it, Jiang Yan had already walked over, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Mo Xiaoyao: "How did you do afterwards?"
"It's okay, another one is solved." I can't mention the key points, but it's okay to talk about the completion of several side tasks. Mo Xiaoyao watched Jiang Yan raise his hand to call for the waiter, and waited for him to finish ordering. He asked slowly, "What about you? Have you seen it?"
Although the question was vague, Jiang Yan still understood what Mo Xiaoyao meant, nodded, took her cup and took a big gulp first: "I have seen it, I suspect that we will both go crazy tonight."
Mo Xiaoyao pushed the cup towards him in distaste, indicating that this cup belongs to him and the next cup belongs to himself, and then said, "What about the main task? Haven't received it yet?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "No matter what, we must pass tonight."
"En." Mo Xiaoyao replied, she was sitting in a position where she could see the door, so she raised her chin, "Here we come."
When Jiang Yan turned his head, he saw Meng Danyang standing at the door, looking around the house, and walking towards him.
"Good evening, can we have a table?" Meng Danyang was very polite, completely devoid of his domineering look during team battles, "Although you may not believe me when I say I have no malice, but I really have no malice."
Jiang Yan looked at Mo Xiaoyao, Mo Xiaoyao had an expression of indifference on her bunny face - she just discovered an interesting thing about how to shake her beard and ears at the same time.
"Then please." Jiang Yan stood up and gave up his seat, instead of sitting face to face with Mo Xiaoyao, he sat next to her, "This is not the first time we met in the town, can I ask why?" You turned a blind eye to us before, but now you come over to say hello—couldn’t it be to find a place to sit?”
Meng Danyang smiled, made a pause gesture to Jiang Yan, and then called the waiter to order a few simple food, then put his elbows on the table, and said to the two: "Some things are inconvenient for me. To explain, you can only choose what you can say—how about this, you ask questions, I will answer, and what you can say must know everything without saying nothing.”
Jiang Yan also laughed, imitating the other person's appearance and half lying on the table: "You are not a philanthropist, what is the reason for doing this?"
Meng Danyang shook his head: "It can't be said. Or it can't be said before the dungeon is over. But I can reveal that this has nothing to do with your actions."
Jiang Yan leaned back, leaned against the back of the chair and made a "creaking" sound. He didn't speak, and waited for the passing waiter to put down the food and drink before pushing the newly brought cup to the table. On Mo Xiaoyao's side, he forked a piece of fried fish and put it on the empty plate in front of him.
"It's really hard for you to win our trust like this, Meng Danyang, it's not long before the team battle - why don't you say it first, pick up what you can say, and we won't ask what you can't say, how about it?"
Meng Danyang thought for a moment, then nodded. After all, he was the one who wanted something, but he couldn't reveal any relevant information right now, so he could only make a compromise and endure the bad breath for the time being. As for the future—he glanced at Mo Xiaoyao, who was fidgeting on the chair with his ears moving, and suddenly spoke.
"Isn't her mental state unstable? If you do too many side missions, this will happen."
Jiang Yan subconsciously went to look at Mo Xiaoyao, and what he got was two red eyeballs from the other side who looked back innocently, no matter how well-behaved, no matter how cute, no matter how you see... not like Mo Xiaoyao.
"Don't worry too much, eat more, don't think about messing around, and you will get better slowly." Meng Danyang's own meal was also delivered, and he bit off half of the hamburger without hesitation. After chewing and swallowing the food residue in his mouth, he spoke again.
"Have you all seen the traveling salesman and read nursery rhymes?"
Jiang Yan nodded, and after drinking half a glass of new apple juice, Mo Xiaoyao gradually regained his sanity: "The purchased item indicates which fairy tale character we will meet later, and the nursery rhyme indicates the identity we obtained in this instance, right? ?”
"That's right." Meng Danyang stared at Mo Xiaoyao's furry rabbit face, "Excuse me, may I ask who you were in the team battle?"
He remembered the appearance of every leader on the opposing ship, but the rabbit face filter was too thick for Meng Danyang to see through.
"The one who threw out a cloud of mist in the last few seconds." Mo Xiaoyao's self-introduction was very concise. After speaking, he picked up a vegetable and put it in his mouth to chew. The expression is cold, and it is also very cute.
"Wow." Meng Danyang let out an admiration that didn't fit the design of others, "Your move has annoyed the boss for a long time, and even issued the highest level of killing orders. If anyone can kill you in the dungeon world, he will Receive his highest reward."
Mo Xiaoyao didn't ask if he was going to kill himself, but changed a novel angle: "How can he be sure who killed me in the dungeon? I think if I really die, I will either disappear in place or stay in the dungeon As an NPC, it is impossible to give him a chance to cut off his head and bring him back to verify his integrity."
"There are always many kinds of props." Meng Danyang replied vaguely, without revealing specific details, "Let's talk about the present. It is estimated that in 20 minutes at most, night will fall. At that time, the village will become a different place." Everyone will enter a separate copy again, and get in touch with the fairy tale characters related to their identities... May I ask what nursery rhymes you all said?"
Jiang Yan opened his mouth lazily, raised his eyelids and looked at Meng Danyang: "It seems that before asking others, you need to report yourself."
"Okay." Meng Danyang seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and read out the nursery rhyme without evasion.
"When I walk across Lincoln Bridge,
I met Mr. Rusty Hat;
nails and needles on his back,
Heading towards the Thorn Bazaar. "
The nursery rhyme is very short, even if Meng Danyang didn't speed up his speech, he could finish it in 4 or 5 seconds. Afterwards, afraid that Jiang Yan and Mo Xiaoyao would not understand, he even explained it.
"The word 'I' appeared in the nursery rhyme, and my identity was assumed to be the person who saw 'Mr. Rusty Hat', but because I didn't elaborate, I just kept it as it is."
Mo Xiaoyao nodded, and before Meng Danyang could speak again, he repeated all the nursery rhymes he and Jiang Yan had read, and then asked, "Does the trouble at night only refer to the single-player dungeon?"
Meng Danyang looked at Mo Xiaoyao seriously, and was surprised by the other party's sensitivity: "...Indeed, according to the information I collected, people who cleared the single-player dungeon can participate in other people's single-player dungeons when they return to the village. Whether you want to help or make trouble, it’s all up to you—this is one of the reasons why I came to you, I hope everyone can get along with each other in peace, I personally hate team battles.”
Jiang Yan didn't speak, and handed over the right to speak to Mo Xiaoyao, while he leaned on the back of the chair, looking up at the dim beams, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaoyao pursed her lips, and then asked, "Cooperation is fine, but I want to know how much of what you said to Meng Danqiu was true and how much was false."
Meng Danyang closed his pretty mouth, and took a long time to let out a long breath: "A sharp question. If I don't answer, will you reject my proposal of peaceful coexistence?"
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "Because I can't think of any benefits you can get by doing this. With all due respect, the leaders on your ship are all perverts."
Meng Danyang nodded, admitted the evaluation, and thought it was quite appropriate.
"Either explode or pervert, this is the survival rule on our ship. Don't underestimate yourself, you and his ability are enough to compete with me, even surpass me, I don't want to be your enemy, I just want to get my own single-player copy Rewards, it’s not difficult to understand, right?”
What Meng Danyang didn't say was that he was tired of it, and he was about to give up. That's why he secretly entered this dungeon, hoping to get the long-planned item. He doesn't dare to say it now, and he can't say it, even if he was once sunny and cheerful, this period of time is enough for him to know what a conspiracy is.
"Okay." Mo Xiaoyao reluctantly accepted this explanation. In fact, he understood that if he continued to question, there would be no results. It was better to maintain the superficial peace and wait for observation.
No more talking, the three of them could finally concentrate on eating, and then left the stage within 10 minutes, returned to their respective lodgings, and waited for the night to fall.
With a soft "click", the dusk turned into night, the NPCs teleported again, and the whole village fell into silence.
Then, Mo Xiaoyao heard a faint weeping sound from outside the house, like complaints and complaints, fluttering and flickering, no matter how it sounds, it is quite scary.
Single-player dungeon, let's start.
