VRMMO: Passing of the Sword Chapter 273: Unfamiliar feeling
The next day, early morning.
After the rain in spring, especially after the thunderstorm, everything seems to be revived and revived again. The original leaves are more verdant, and the newly sprouted shoots are even more delicate with crystal clear water drops. The flowers are competing to bloom even more, and the beauty is attracting flying insects, and the sound of birds is also echoing in the sky.
A room for two...
"Squeak..."
At this moment, it opens at almost the same time! The two people who came out of the room after simply washing and dressing, fell into a brief look at each other.
"You..."
Lan Feng spoke first.
Lan Xue was startled, and Lan Feng spoke up. She was a little nervous, and instantly thought of what happened last night. But before he had time to think about it, Lan Feng spoke again.
"Why are you still dressed like this?" Lan Feng looked at Lan Xue suspiciously.
Lan Xue is still in casual clothes yesterday, but today she is likely to kill monsters, so it is impossible to change clothes outside.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I... I made a mistake, I'll go in and change it right away!" Lan Xue panicked, like a fertilized kitten, and rushed back to the room.
"Bang." The door closed.
Lan Feng calmly leaned against the side of the corridor, folded her hands on her chest and waited patiently with her head slightly lowered. The same indifference as usual, as if nothing happened.
Lan Xue's flustered "voice" came from the room, it was the sound of knocking over something, it could be heard that it was a knocked down stool...
System change, even if you take off all the clothes, and then put them all on, it takes less than half a minute, Lan Xue abruptly extended it to five minutes, I really don't know what she was doing during this time.
"Squeak." The door opened again.
"Okay." Lan Xue said with some embarrassment, knowing that it took too long.
This time it was Lan Xue who walked out, already fully armed. Wearing the swordsman's light armor, she can be said to be heroic, but Lan Feng always feels that something is wrong.
There is a light golden armor all over the body, a long sword hanging on the waist, and a small arm shield equipped with a swordsman on the left arm... On the beautiful cheek, the hair is well combed and meticulously arranged. ...
Lan Feng finally found out that something was wrong. It turned out that Lan Xue was not wearing a helmet at all.
At this moment, Lan Xue was about to say something, but Lan Feng spoke first again.
"Let's go, go to have breakfast first, and then look for clues to the mission." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leading the way.
I didn't give Lan Xue a chance to speak.
Looking at the back of Lan Feng walking in front, Lan Xue froze for a moment, then thought a little disappointed: "Did he hate me because of what happened last night?"
…
The next two people went all over the town to ask for clues. Even if it was an old man in an alley, Lan Feng made a point of asking. Very positive, I feel like I want to complete the task.
The process of these inquiries should have been made by the lively and active Lan Xue, and the lazy Lan Feng should have asked passers-by, or watched from the side while drinking a drink. .
However, Lan Feng...is uncharacteristically.
"Excuse me, do you know the rumors about music in Buming Valley?" Lan Feng stopped an uncle who was picking firewood.
Although he still had that indifferent expression during the questioning, his tone was still polite and did not cause much trouble during the questioning process. And Lan Xue was also asking about an aunt who sold fruit.
Lan Xue ended the inquiry first, and then looked at Lan Feng.
Looking at Lan Feng's active inquiry, Lan Xue felt a little uneasy, and she didn't know the reason for the uneasiness. I just feel that there seems to be something hidden in Lan Feng's current look of actively wanting to complete the task.
She also knows that Lan Feng is lazy, really lazy, sometimes even so lazy that she doesn't want to talk.
But at this moment, Lan Feng was active, asking about as many NPCs as she did. It's not that I want to find the so-called treasure quickly, and it's not that I want to get the joy of finding the treasure and harvesting it.
It's just a simple... appearance of wanting to complete the task.
"Little rascal."
Lan Xue tried to call Lan Feng, he had just finished asking the uncle who picked the firewood.
"Huh?" Lan Feng turned around.
"That..." Lan Xue suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Do you want to talk about what happened last night? I just remembered it too. I didn't know that idiot took away the pillow in the room last night, so I can only use the clothes as a pillow." Lan Feng said suddenly and indifferently .
"Huh? Pillow?" Lan Xue suddenly fell into a dazed state, unable to react for a while.
"Well, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean it." Lan Xue blushed suddenly in embarrassment.
She finally remembered that last night, because she was afraid, she hugged the pillow and knocked on Lan Feng's door, and finally fell asleep with her pillow in her arms.
When she woke up this morning, she was still wondering why there were two pillows on Lan Feng's bed.
"I know, from your usual stupid appearance, I know you didn't do it on purpose." Lan Feng said lightly.
"Where am I stupid? I was just scared last night!" Lan Xue immediately defended angrily.
"Who knows?" Lan Feng left a look in disbelief, and went to find the next target to ask.
Staying where he was, Lan Xue glared at Lan Feng's Lan Xue with puffed cheeks.
"Hmph!" The angry Lan Xue puffed her cheeks and went to ask another target.
But from the corner of Lan Feng's eyes, he has been paying attention to Lan Xue's every move. Seeing that she asked a passing NPC again, Lan Feng took back his peripheral vision and focused on asking the NPC in front of him.
"Did you get noticed..." This was Lan Feng's last thought when she took back her peripheral vision.
The reason why he brought up the pillow issue last night and deliberately said that Lan Xue was an idiot was just to divert Lan Xue's attention. And now the diversion of attention has succeeded.
If you originally accepted the task with Lan Xue, in addition to completing the commission to watch quietly, part of it was because of your own interest. Because he himself really wants to try to do a real treasure hunting mission, if he or they completely rely on him or them to find clues to complete the treasure hunting mission.
So now...
He just regarded it as a task, a task that he wanted to complete quickly, and after completing the task, he left quickly.
…
After a busy half morning...
The two of them still haven't asked any clues related to music. And this small town outside the valley has never had any music-related legends. Including Booming Valley itself, there is no record of any music.
The only news I got is that besides the town here, there is a small village outside the Booming Valley, which is near the mouth of the Booming Valley. However, the village there is very small, and basically there are very few people who come to this town, so many people ignore the existence there.
It is equivalent to a small village isolated from the world.
"Little rascal, shall we go to that small village now?" Lan Xue asked excitedly.
After asking for a long time, I finally got some news. Although it is not related to the mission, this small village they didn't know when they came here may be the key to the clue.
"Well, let's go now, but it looks like a long way, and the road is not easy to walk."
This news was inquired by Lan Feng, who also just told Lan Xue.
As for the Booming Valley, this small town outside the valley, the environment is indeed good. There is a sea of flowers that only bloom in spring, and a clear and beautiful small lake. But people here rarely go to Booming Valley.
There is only one road leading to Booming Valley, and it is a rugged mountain path. This is also one of the reasons why people from the small town near the mouth of the Booming Valley seldom come to the small town outside the valley.
If there is no good road between two places, there will naturally be no good communication. So much so that when they came, they didn't get any news from that small village, as if they were isolated from the world.
"It's okay, that's what makes treasure hunting interesting, let's go!" Lan Xue seemed very happy, and walked to the front immediately.
Lan Feng followed silently.
Finally, after asking NPCs all the way, they finally found the path.
It was a muddy path opened in the forest. Because of the rain just last night, the path was even more muddy and slippery. Coupled with the surrounding trees and small bushes, it looks a bit gloomy.
But since the path is full of mud and not overgrown with weeds, at least it proves that there are still people using this path.
"Little hooligan, are we really going to take this path?" Lan Xue was a little scared, always feeling that the path submerged in the bushes and trees was very eerie and scary.
"Aren't you very happy just now?" Lan Feng glanced lightly.
"Well... who knew the path was like this." Lan Xue blushed suddenly.
"Let's go, I'll go ahead, if you're afraid, grab the hem of my windbreaker, just to prevent the clothes from being splashed with mud." Lan Feng said lightly, and walked towards the path.
Lan Xue gritted her teeth, and finally followed, as Lan Feng said, she grabbed the corner of Lan Feng's windbreaker.
Lan Feng, who opened the way ahead, also called out his own weapon and held it in his hand. In addition to overcoming obstacles, he also guarded against monsters that might appear at any time. Although he knew that this was the usual path of NPCs and wild monsters were unlikely to appear, it was still wise to be careful.
After all, the current Lan Feng is not alone, so it doesn't matter what he does.
Lan Xue pulled Lan Feng's clothes from behind, looked at his back, and suddenly remembered what she had noticed before. For some reason, Lan Feng, who was actively doing the task and took the initiative to lead the way through the thorns and thorns, did not bring her the warmth of being protected.
On the contrary... I feel more alienated from her.
"I feel like the little hooligans now... are like bodyguards who protect me from missions... so strange..."
Lan Xue's eyes were blurred, looking at Lan Feng's back, she was a little dazed.
