The Eternal Sword Master of Online Games

Lin Chen opened the task panel and re-checked the details of the "Missing Child" task.

The secondary goal of the mission was to rescue Tom and seven other children. Now it shows that the secondary goal has failed, which means that at least one of the seven missing children has been killed.

Lin Chen was also helpless. After all, he wasted too much time due to various things.

In "Eternal", even some tasks that have no time limit may have some accidents or changes and will not always wait for the player to complete.

Even if the player completes the mission goal, he or she may encounter the NPC who received the mission, be killed by other NPCs, or even be killed by the player. As a result, the mission reward will not be obtained and the mission will be treated as an invalid mission.

Therefore, when a player receives a task, it is best to complete the task as soon as possible if conditions permit.

Of course, there are only a few cases where accidents can happen. Most of the time, as long as there is no time limit on the task, players can delay it for two or three days, or even several months before completing it, and there will be no problem.

But when that time comes, the rewards from the missions will be very meager, and the meaning of taking the missions has long been lost.

Although the mission "Missing Child" indicates that the secondary mission goal has failed, as long as the primary goal of the mission has not failed, this mission can still be continued.

As long as Lin Chen can successfully find Tom's whereabouts, he can complete the "Missing Child" mission and obtain basic mission rewards.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen became a little more motivated.

But where are Tom and the others?

Lin Chen tried to ask Qiaoluo for all the information about the disappearance of these children, and Qiaoluo recommended Lin Chen to find Captain Carlo.

Under Qiao Luo's guidance, Lin Chen quickly found Captain Carlo's office. When he walked in, he found that Captain Carlo was not the only one inside.

However, Captain Carlo has dark skin and a tall figure, which makes him very eye-catching in the crowd and easy to identify.

Lin Chen walked up to Captain Carlo, greeted him politely, and briefly explained his purpose, indicating that he wanted to know information about the missing child.

Captain Carlo raised his head, and after seeing Lin Chen's appearance, he frowned and showed a look of distrust.

It seemed that Captain Carlo still had the urge to chase people away.

Lin Chen quickly showed off his title of brave, which made Captain Carlo's attitude soften.

"Sorry, young brave." Captain Carlo first expressed his apology, and then explained: "In the past few days, we have been exhausted mentally and physically looking for the missing children. We have obtained clues several times, but when we arrived at the location, we found nothing, which made us feel too irritable.

.Just now, because of your youth, I mistakenly thought you were here to cause trouble, and I almost showed disrespect to you."

"It's okay. I can understand your situation and the pressure hanging on your head. The longer it is delayed, the smaller the children's hope of survival will be."

Lin Chen continued: "I'm not sure if I can really help, but I will try my best to find the whereabouts of the children, whether they are alive or dead."

"Thank you so much. I will tell you all the information you want."

A slight smile appeared on Captain Carlo's face, but it quickly turned back to bitterness.

After all, in Captain Carlo's heart, he no longer had any hope that the children could recover this matter.

According to the information provided by Captain Carlo, these children disappeared seven nights ago. On the day of disappearance, except for the mayor’s granddaughter who happened to be playing with a fat man from a certain baron’s family, the other five children did not have any

Contact. These children have different statuses. The only thing they have in common is that they all received a strange candy the day before they disappeared.

After Captain Carlo's investigation, they caught the suspect - Huang Mao, who lives next door to the tailor's house. When they put Huang Mao in jail, Huang Mao immediately revealed that he was a mysterious man wearing a white mask. He clearly knew

Remember, there is no face carved on the mask of the mysterious man, but only a split mouth.

The other party asked Huang Mao to deliver these candies to those children in exchange for a gold coin. Huang Mao agreed for the gold coins. Huang Mao thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, because he sent out more than ten candies.

One copy for each child, but only seven of them disappeared in the end. This is definitely a coincidence.

After some severe torture, it was proved that Huang Mao was not lying. However, even if he asked the town's archmage for help, he could not find the mysterious man Huang Mao said, and it was as if he did not exist.

As for the clue they got today, it was that someone picked up a token related to the children in Devil's Ridge.

After Captain Carlo received the news, he immediately excitedly led his people to search Devil's Ridge, but the final result was still nothing.

Lin Chen decided to go to Devil's Ridge to have another look. Captain Carlo and the others were unable to obtain results from their search, which did not mean that Lin Chen could not obtain results either. Anyway, he had no more clues now.

Lin Chen said goodbye to Captain Carlo and then left Redwood Town.

Outside Redwood Town, the big-eared monster he had seen during the day was gone. What appeared was a strange-looking monster with a relatively petite body, pointed and drooping ears, four arms and two pairs of thin wings.

Lin Chen threw out the Insight Technique and learned that this was the "Night Demon" that Sweeping Qianjun had mentioned before.

The Night Demon's level is level 1, and the experience it gives is okay. If players form a team, the risk will not be very high. It is close to Redwood Town, so it is very suitable for players who have just left the Novice Village and are working in combat professions to form a team and practice.

class.

Nowadays, there are many players playing Night Demon. Lin Chen couldn't find the figure that swept through thousands of armies, so he ignored it.

While rejecting invitations from stranger players to form a team, he headed towards Devil Ridge alone.

Slowly, other players disappeared around him.

There are no night monsters here anymore, but there is a monster called the Velociraptor, which moves very fast and has strong damage capabilities. It is a difficult challenge for ordinary players.

But for Lin Chen, although there was trouble, it was still a good deal in exchange for experience. However, Lin Chen had to complete the task now and had no time to level up for the time being.

About half an hour later, Lin Chen finally arrived at Devil's Ridge.

Devil's Ridge is called Devil's Ridge because a terrible devil from purgatory once appeared here.

In the end, the devil was eliminated by the priests from the temple, but before he died, the devil placed a curse on this mountain. From then on, whenever night came, the strange laughter could always be heard from the devil's mountain, and it was torn apart.

The souls of travelers. (To be continued)
