Chapter 25 - The cunning old village chief!

Lin put on the Eye of Innocence and felt that the world suddenly became exceptionally clear.

Five hundred meters away, a mosquito was flying, and Lin could clearly see the patterns on the mosquito's wings.

This feeling... was awesome!

Archers have very high requirements for accuracy, and this Eye of Innocence has a very high compatibility with Lin.

Not to mention the current stage, even in the later stages of the game, or even the era of the Great Cataclysm.

The Eye of Innocence is an extremely outrageous piece of equipment.

"Adventurer, did you kill Wang San and Wang Si?"

The old village chief's eyes carried a different kind of meaning.

Lin guessed that he would be discovered after submitting the task, so he did not deny it.

"Yes."

The old village chief's expression became more and more subtle, "Do you know that Wang San and Wang Si are both disciples of the blacksmith Jack? If the blacksmith Jack finds out that you killed them, he will definitely retaliate against you."

Lin pretended to be frightened, "Old village chief, what should I do? How about I don't do the village exit task? Let me leave the novice village now."

The old village chief waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. Although the blacksmith Jack is powerful, I still have the final say in this novice village."

At this point, the old village chief continued, "However, the blacksmith Jack has the ambition of a wolf, so we must be on guard. I learned that he has been getting very close to the old drunkard at the tavern recently. That old drunkard often goes to the wild to help him find ore."

Lin raised his eyebrows, it seemed that a new task was coming.

"Old village chief, what do I need to do?"

The old village chief showed a look of 'a promising child', "It's very simple, cut off his right and left arms. You go and kill the old drunkard."

"Ding, the old village chief has issued a task to you."

"Task requirement: Kill the old drunkard."

"Task penalty: None."

"Task Reward: Unknown."

Lin was a little worried, "Old village chief, with my current strength, wouldn't it be too difficult to kill the old drunkard?"

The old village chief nodded, "That old drunkard does have some tricks."

"However, he is often addicted to drunkenness. If you can poison his wine jar, you might get unexpected results."

Hearing this, Lin was a little embarrassed, "To be honest, village chief, I don't have any poison."

The old village chief hesitated for a moment and took out a small bottle.

"This is a Mandrake potion that I have collected for a long time. It is colorless and tasteless. As long as you put it in the old drunkard's wine, he will definitely not notice."

"Once poisoned, the old drunkard's combat power will decrease by at least half."

Lin took the Mandrake potion, with a smile on his face, "Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations and kill the old drunkard."

After saying that, Lin was ready to leave immediately.

But at this moment, the old village chief suddenly stopped him.

"Snow Emperor!"

"I don't know. Not long after Shadow kill and I killed Wang San and Wang Si together, we heard the sound of Elfus being killed."

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

The old village chief showed a meaningful smile.

Lin knew that he would definitely not be able to gain the old village chief's trust with these few words.

But that didn't matter.

Because even if the old village chief had some doubts, he would only suspect that he had some kind of deal with the blacksmith Jack.

After all, the only one who could threaten his position as the novice village chief was the blacksmith Jack.

As for Lin.

No matter how powerful Lin was, what could he do?

He still had to go to the main city and could not stay in the novice village forever.

But what he didn't know was that Lin had other options.

After leaving the novice village.

Lin sent a message to Shadow kill. The two had added each other as friends when they completed the transaction before.

At this time, Lin noticed.

That Floating Tower Shield Mountain had actually sent him more than a dozen messages.

"Great God Snow Emperor, I am willing to offer a price of 200 million. As long as you come, you will be the president of the Floating Tower Guild."

"Great God Snow Emperor, are you there? When will you come to the main city to carry me? The price is negotiable."

"Great God Snow Emperor..."

Lin had been busy with his own affairs, so the messages were all in 'do not disturb' mode.

In any case, Floating Tower Shield Mountain was his first partner.

Lin replied: 'Messages are on do not disturb, busy.'

Then he went to the location sent by Shadow kill.

At this time, Shadow kill was fighting a level 10 Twisted Treant beyond his level.

Seeing Lin arrive, he solved the Treant in front of him and walked over.

"Shadow kill, what is the follow-up task that the old village chief gave you?"

Shadow kill knew that he was already tied to the same boat as Lin, and said bluntly:

"The old village chief asked me to protect the old drunkard at the tavern."

Hearing this, Lin's eyes narrowed, "Today, the old village chief also gave me a task to kill the old drunkard."

"How could this be?"

Shadow Kill was a little confused.

One side had to protect, and the other side had to kill, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.

Lin already had a guess in his heart.

It was obvious that the old village chief wanted to frame him.

As for the reason.

I'm afraid it was on this Mandrake potion.

If his guess was correct.

This Mandrake potion did not belong to the old village chief himself, but was stolen from the blacksmith Jack.

Let himself poison and kill the old drunkard, and then let Shadow Kill rescue him.

As long as Shadow Kill could delay him for a while, the old drunkard might escape.

"Your task rewards and punishments should not be light, right?" Lin asked.

Shadow Kill nodded, "Yes."

"We killed Wang San and Wang Si together before, and the old village chief knew that we were together, so he gave you this task. This is an open conspiracy!"

Shadow Kill thought for a moment, and also thought of something, and couldn't help asking.

"Listening to your words, the old village chief asked you to kill as a fake, and asked me to save as a real?"

Lin nodded, "That's right, the old village chief wants to win people's hearts."

"How do you say that?"

"He gave me a kind of poison and asked me to poison the old drunkard. If I guessed correctly, this poison should be unique to the blacksmith Jack."

"As long as I poison him, the old drunkard will be saved by you, and there will be a conflict between the old drunkard and the blacksmith Jack."

Shadow Kill was a little surprised, "Sowing discord?"

"It should be like this. My task has no penalties, and the rewards are unknown."

"And your task has high rewards and high punishments. The old village chief will definitely think that I will help you."

Shadow Kill took a deep breath, very surprised, "I really didn't expect that the old village chief of this novice village is so scheming."

Lin smiled. "In this game, NPCs are not ordinary intelligent AIs."

"Then what are you going to do?" Shadow Kill asked.

"Fulfill the old village chief's wish." Lin smiled.

"I said, this is an open conspiracy. If I kill the old drunkard, I will be harming you."

"Moreover, it is obvious that the old village chief has more power in the novice village. If the old drunkard dies, this plot line may be gone."
