Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 47 Mission and Turnaround

The middle-aged man glanced at the ID and said without any change in his expression: "I'm just an ordinary bar owner, and what you call a Muggle. I can't answer your question."

Rossi asked the other party the same question again. After getting the same answer, Rossi, who understood that the other party would only repeat this line, stopped struggling and quickly followed Erin and the two who were sitting at the bar.

"I forgot to tell you, he is just an ordinary bar owner with no name."

Seeing Rosie coming, Abo said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

"Since you know, why don't you tell her?"

Irene looked at Abo doubtfully.

Abai spread his hands and shrugged, pretending to be calm and said: "I hope she can ask something from the bar owner. There is nothing wrong with trying. Aren't we just here to get information?"

Hearing this, Rossi rolled her eyes at him, walked quickly to sit down next to Irene, and asked the two of them: "What do you want to drink?"

"casual……"

"It will be all right!"

After hearing what the two said, Rossi turned to the waitress at the bar and said, "Hello, please have three glasses of Firewhiskey."

"OK, just a second."

The waitress responded with a smile, then took three wine glasses from the cabinet behind the bar and lined them up in front of the three Rossi's. Then she took out bottles of whiskey and filled the three wine glasses.

Seeing the magical flame leaping up in the wine glass, exuding warmth but not burning people, Rossi smiled and raised his glass and gestured to the two people around him: "Try the fire whiskey here to see if it tastes good."

"What do we do next?"

Erin shook the wine glass gently, looking at the flaming liquid that flowed with her movements with some novelty in her eyes.

"Rest here for a while and listen to the NPC's conversation."

Rossi said while looking at the drinkers around him who were talking loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rosie looked around with her eyes fixed. She suddenly thought of something and turned to Abai and asked: "Will there be any tasks in this bar?"

"Won't."

Abai said categorically, "When I was in this village, I basically visited every place. There were no tasks here."

"Haven't you been here for a long time?"

Erin took a sip of wine and retorted, "How do you know you won't clear the mission now?"

“If you can do quests here, there won’t be no players at all.”

Abo chuckled and explained.

Don’t clear tasks?

When Rossi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

"If this bar doesn't clear quests, then what's going on with that NPC who occasionally lights up with purple light?"

The two of them looked in the direction of Rossi's finger, and saw a woman wearing a tight black dress sitting at a separate wine table, looking at the glass filled with fire whiskey in her hands with blurred eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.

.

In an environment like the bar, no one approached her, which was enough to attract Rossi's attention. The purple light that only players could see flashing from time to time on her body was even more impossible to ignore.

"Oh, that NPC."

Abo looked at it twice and explained, "Her name is Vera Diggory. She is the eldest daughter of the head of the Diggory family, the four major wizarding families in this novice village. She comes to the bar every night and sits in that position drinking.

.”

After raising the glass and taking a sip, Abo continued: "Her abnormality caused a sensation for a while at first. But after everyone talked to her, they could only get one piece of information: the tomb of Otter St. Catchpol Village.

There are many new graves in the garden."

"There are many new graves in the cemetery? Doesn't this tell us that we have to go to the cemetery to look for clues?"

Erin asked doubtfully, "Is this supposed to be a prerequisite for the mission?"

Abo gently placed the wine glass on the table, curled his lips and said with a smile, "Many people think so, but none of them can find anything."

"Over time, no one paid attention to this NPC who only kept repeating his self-introduction and 'There are many new graves in the cemetery of Ottery Saint Catchpol Village'."

After saying that, Abo looked at Rosie with a deep look.

None of them could discover anything, could they...?

Rosie thought about Abo's words in her mind, raised her eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, then raised the tip of Liu Hai beside her ear with her little finger, then asked:

"What about the other NPCs here?"

"Not many people have lines."

Abo pointed at several NPCs one after another and said while pointing, "That old man with wrinkles on his face who looked very grumpy, only said: Don't bother me; the strong man with one foot on the chair and drank, his line was "Look

What am I doing, why do you want to have a drink with me? That lady in gorgeous clothes, the line is, have another drink..."

After Abo recited the dialogues often spoken by NPCs, Rossi drank the wine in one gulp.

"Let's split up and talk to the NPCs here one by one. If anyone's dialogue is different from what Abo just said, then let's pay more attention to it."

"good!"

"Then let's take action!"

…

Ten minutes later, the three people in various positions in the bar stood up straight almost at the same time.

Just by looking at their facial expressions, Rossi could guess that both of them had gained nothing.

This regularization task is really tricky...

Rossi sighed slightly frustrated and said to the two people who approached him: "My job of becoming a regular employee is really difficult!"

"Rosie, do you want to try talking to that Vera Diggory?"

Irene suggested in a low voice. Seeing that Rossi turned his attention to her after hearing this, Irene hesitated for a few seconds and then added, "I always think she is weird and different from other NPCs, but I can't tell."

What's the difference?"

"oh?"

Rosie glanced at Vera Diggory, who was sitting at the wine table not far away, and saw that she was still maintaining her previous actions, and it seemed that there was no change, "Then let me go and take a look."

After that, Rosie put away her winter cloak, straightened her emerald gown, and then walked step by step to the opposite side of the female wizard named Vera Diggory.

"Hello, I'm an agent from the Ministry of Magic. Rosie, can I sit here?"

Rossi asked, pointing to the empty seat opposite Vera.

Vera did not raise her eyes, but said expressionlessly in an ethereal voice: "I am Vera Diggory, the eldest daughter of the Diggory family. Please sit down wherever you like."

This voice sounds more like a ghost than Irene.

Rossi cursed secretly, sat down gently, and slowly met Vera's deep eyes.

"Huh? It's really weird."

Looking at Vera's bright blue eyes, Rossi thought to herself, "Her eyes don't look like an NPC with low AI at all. But if she is an NPC with high AI, why does she only repeat one sentence?"

?”

Vera's rosy lips, which were stared at by Rossi, slowly opened and closed, gradually changing from silent to loud: "...there are many new graves in the cemetery of Ottery St. Catchpol Village."

"Why?"

Rossi immediately activated the interrogation skill, "What happened?"

Vera seemed to glance at Rossi, and seemed to have been staring at the glass of wine in her hand without saying a word.

Seeing that the other party didn't talk to her, Rosie was a little discouraged and was about to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she inadvertently saw a silver amulet hanging on her chest.

The patterns on this amulet seem to have been seen somewhere.

Looking at the style of the amulet, Rosie asked in a flash: "Hello, Miss Vera Diggory, do you know Ms. Gsilda?"
