"You, you you you you you you..."

Raven raised his hand, and pointed at Hogarth with a crampy finger.

"Sir, what can you do?" Hogarth, who was still opening the door, was full of doubts, not knowing what the guest who knocked on his door suddenly and pointed at him very impolitely was going to do.

"Aren't you the one who charged at the entrance of the Mechanical Cave!"

Dark Crow pointed at you for a long time, and finally you uttered a complete sentence.

"Mechanical Cave?" Hoggs tilted his head and thought for a while, "Sounds familiar."

"It's the cave at the entrance of the dwarf village." Those who didn't respond rolled their eyes. The mechanical cave is one of the only passages to the dwarf village. It is also a dungeon and a tourist attraction.

I don't know which wicked guy came up with the method. Because the dwarves focus on alchemy and mechanical manufacturing, they stay in the house all the year round and lack sources of funds. Although there are players and humans who buy things from them, they don't earn much money.After the dungeon of the mechanical cave was opened, the dwarves cooperated with nearby humans. The dwarves used alchemy to create a huge screen that could broadcast live, broadcasting the status of the team entering the mechanical cave to the outsiders, attracting onlookers People, collect money.

The Mechanical Cave can support multiple teams to swipe the book at the same time. At this time, there will often be a gambling game, and the screen will be split into corresponding blocks, allowing the onlookers to bet to see which team will pass the level the fastest.

Since the opening of the mechanical cave, the dwarves have made a lot of money by using this method.

And now the guy who is playing the game for a fee at the entrance of the Mechanical Cave looks exactly like Hoggs in front of him.

"..." Hoggs, who was standing at the door, seemed to be racking his brains to recall the relevant content. After a while, he finally remembered what the mechanical cave was, "I remembered, I was near there before I died. Lived, what you see may be my grandson who doesn’t know how many generations.”

The young man who had been dead for an unknown number of years had a nostalgic smile on his face, "I've been dead for too long and I can't remember many things clearly. If I remember correctly, I discussed it with the patriarch of the dwarves near the Mechanical Cave. , if one day they open the mechanical cave, we can cooperate to make a fortune."

... So you are always the one who turned the Mechanical Cave into a tourist attraction!

Not at all happy to know the origin of the mechanical cave becoming a tourist attraction, looking at the young face of the number one undead who had been dead for many years in front of him, Raven and the non-responder pressed the idea of ​​punching him.

"So, four guests, what can you do for me?" Hogarth asked after finally remembering why he was standing at the door, "If you came to ask me why I died young and became the first I refuse to answer the words of an undead."

[Team] Raven: Can the current NPC allow people to do tasks properly?

Raven sent such a sentence in the team channel with a goodbye expression, he almost couldn't control his unicorn arm, and swung the epee in the backpack to the face of the first undead.

Dark Crow's patience plummeted after going through the hole and came to the door of the first undead's house. Now he just wants to beat up the person who put the house in such a place, don't ask him why.

"We came here to ask Mr. Hogarth one thing." Jiang Huaichen said: "There is an earthbound spirit who wants to go to the leftover land, please agree with Mr. Hogarth."

As the number one undead, Hoggs has a very high status and power in the leftovers. If this kind of undead from outside the world requests to enter the leftovers, Hoggs must agree.

"Come in first." Hogs didn't agree immediately, but invited the four of them into the room.

There is no one in Hogarth's family, who exists like an emperor in the leftover land. He lives alone in this place that is almost impossible to find, enjoying the tranquility of one person.

Maybe it was because he hadn't seen anyone or a real living person for a long time, Hogarth looked very happy, he worked in the kitchen for a long time, and dug out a lot of snacks.

The first undead sat leisurely on the sofa and drank lipstick tea: "Let me tell you a story."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the person on the other side was willing to listen or not, Hoggs said on his own: "Before I died, I wandered for a long time, and finally settled down near the Mechanical Cave."

"The vicinity of the mechanical cave is very poor but very quiet. I like that place very much. But because it is too poor, many things are very inconvenient, so I tried my best to find the patriarch of the dwarves, and after discussing with him, signed a contract on the opening of the mechanical cave. Development planning, and signed the permanent fee-man position, so that my descendants have a job that will not lose their jobs anyway.

Later, I gradually developed the surrounding area, more and more people came to live here, and the surrounding area became popular.Shortly after that, business started to pick up as well, when a famous band was touring around here and came to our place.It's a pity that I had something to go out and didn't make it to that show, and I never had the chance to see that band again until I died. "

Hogarth had a sad face, immersed in memories.

[Team] Dark Crow: What kind of trouble is he going to make?

[Team] Non-responders: Who knows, I just want him to agree to finish the job quickly.

[Team] Wu Jian: According to the routine of hiding the copy, it is impossible.

[Team] Interpretation: The next link of the continuous mission should be on him.

[Team] Raven: Damn?What tasks does he have?I can't help myself to kill his unicorn arm!

[Team] Non-responders: [Goodbye]

[Team] Interpretation: It should be related to the last wish.

[Team] Wu Jian: I cannot do without the relationship with the band.

Sure enough, after a few people chatted on the team channel for a while, Hoggs came back from his memories and maintained his sad expression: "So, can I ask you to help me fulfill my last wish? In contrast, I can also agree to your request."

[Team] Raven: ...

[Team] Non-responders: ...

[Team] Interpretation: It seems that the guess is right.

[Team] Wu Jian: Yes.

[Team] Dark Crow: We mortals are not compared to great gods.

[System]: Help Hoggs fulfill his last wish, do you accept it?

Before the conversation was over, the system popped up options.

Jiang Huaichen clicked to accept, and the other three immediately got a reminder.

[Team] Those who didn't respond: Damn, this is forced buying and selling, we don't even know what the last wish is about!

Jiang Huaichen: "Excuse me, what do you need us to do?"

Hogarth wiped the corners of his sad and tearful eyes: "Young man, I want to listen to the band's performance once, and that's enough."

Interpretation: "Do you know where the band might be?"

Interpretation quickly picked up the conversation, for fear that the number one undead would be sad and immersed in memories.

"Wait a minute." Hoggs stood up and went back to the room. After a while, he came out with a slightly broken clay pot in his hand. "It will allow you to find where the band is."

[System]: Find the band that left behind.

[System]: Obtain the quest item [Broken Clay Pot].

Jiang Huaichen took the clay pot and looked at it. It was a very rough clay pot with many pits and holes on it. The mouth of the pot was also slightly deformed. There were many interlaced cracks on the dark gray pot. Made a small cut.

After wiping the body of the can, Jiang Huaichen could barely see a strange symbol painted on the body of the can.

Jiang Huaichen couldn't describe the symbol like a child's graffiti, but he probably knew that the symbol was related to the place where the band was.

"Then we take our leave."

After getting the mission and the mission items, the four of Jiang Huaichen left Hoggs' home and returned to the village before starting to study how to find the band.

Hoggs said that this clay pot would allow them to find the location of the band, and apart from the cracks on the pot, there is only the strange indescribable symbol.

"It may be a sign representing a certain place." The interpretation speculated, "There will be someone who knows how to get there."

"But we don't know anything now." The non-responder leaned over to look at the symbols on the clay pot, "It should be easy for people to remember such an ugly painting."

"So where do we start looking now?" Raven asked the key question.

Although the symbols on the clay pots are highly recognizable, Hoggs did not tell them where to start. Apart from the clues of the symbols on the pots, they have no place to start investigating.

Jiang Huaichen thought for a while and said, "Go to the Finding Guild."

"Hello, may I ask who are you looking for?" The female waiter at the door was as conscientious as ever, and after looking up to see who came in, she added: "You successfully found Mr. Hogarth's Is there a place of residence?"

"I have found it, thank you." Although no one wanted to mention the process, but he was indeed found. Jiang Huaichen handed the clay pot in his hand to the female waiter.

"Do you need any other help when you come here?"

"We were entrusted by Mr. Hogarth to find the place with the symbol on the clay pot. It is the place where the band that Mr. Hogarth has been thinking about." Those who did not respond stepped forward to pick up the conversation, pushing Jiang Huaichen back in disgust , "Can I find it, please?"

"Okay, please wait a moment, it will take a little longer to search with markers."

The female waiter held the pot and led them to the waiting area for snacks as usual, and then took the pot to the information desk.

Using symbols to locate and search did take a lot longer than finding the location of Hoggs. The four of them sat in the waiting area and finished their snacks. By the way, they watched the internal affairs of the Carlo guild and were discovered by the guild leader. process.

"Hello, you have found the place you want to check." Raven, who had already slept in the waiting area, woke up in a daze when he heard the voice of the female waiter. Return it to Jiang Huaichen, and hand the note to him at the same time.

"Thank you."

Thanks to the female waiter, Jiang Huaichen simply opened the note in the waiting area.

This time there was something more on the note besides the address.

"Instructions?"

Raven looked at the extra line on the note, and felt that they might be in trouble again.
