Lin Tianhao put on the Pure Eye, and the world suddenly became incredibly clear. Five hundred meters away, a mosquito was flying, and Lin Tianhao could clearly see the patterns on its wings. This feeling was... incredible! Archers had very high requirements for accuracy, and the Pure Eye had a very high compatibility with Lin Tianhao. Not only in the current stage, but even in the late game and the era of the great catastrophe, the Pure Eye was an extremely powerful piece of equipment.
"Adventurer, did you kill Wang San and Wang Si?" The village head's eyes held a few other meanings.
Lin Tianhao guessed that he would be discovered after submitting the task, so he did not deny it. "Yes."
The village head's eyes became more and more subtle. "Do you know that Wang San and Wang Si are Wang the blacksmith's disciples? If Wang the blacksmith finds out that you killed them, he will definitely take revenge on you."
Lin Tianhao feigned panic. "Village head, what should I do? How about I don't do the out-of-village task anymore, and you let me leave the Novice Village now."
The village head waved his hand and laughed, "You don't have to worry. Although Wang the blacksmith is powerful, in this Novice Village, I still have the final say."
After saying this, the village head continued, "However, Wang the blacksmith has ambitions and must be guarded against. I have learned that he has been very close to the old drunkard in the tavern recently. The old drunkard often goes to the wild to find ore for him."
Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that a new task was coming.
"Village head, what do I need to do?"
The village head showed a look of being teachable. "It's very simple. Cut off his left and right arms. You go and kill the old drunkard."
"Ding, the village head has issued a quest to you."
"Quest requirement: Kill the old drunkard."
"Quest punishment: None."
"Quest reward: Unknown."
Lin Tianhao was a little worried. "Village head, with my current strength, it might be too difficult to kill the old drunkard."
The village head nodded. "That old drunkard does have some tricks."
"But he is often addicted to drinking. If you can poison his wine jar, there might be an unexpected effect."
Hearing this, Lin Tianhao was a little embarrassed. "To be honest, I don't have any poison."
The village head 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 find it."
"Once poisoned, the old drunkard's combat power will be reduced by at least half."
Lin Tianhao took the mandrake potion and smiled. "Alright, I will not let you down and kill the old drunkard."
After speaking, Lin Tianhao was about to leave immediately.
But at this moment, the village head suddenly called him.
"Snow Emperor!"
Once again, he called by name instead of adventurer.
"Since you killed Wang San and Wang Si, do you know who killed Elvoss?"
Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow.
As expected, the village head suspected him.
"I don't know. Not long after Shadow Killer and I killed Wang San and Wang Si together, I heard the sound of Elvoss being killed."
"Oh, I see."
The village head showed a meaningful smile.
Lin Tianhao knew that his few words would definitely not make the village head trust him.
But this was not important.
Because even if the village head had doubts, he would only suspect that he had some deal with Wang the blacksmith.
After all, the only one who could threaten his position as the village head of the Novice Village was Wang the blacksmith.
As for Lin Tianhao.
No matter how strong Lin Tianhao 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 did not know was that Lin Tianhao had other choices.
After leaving the Novice Village, Lin Tianhao sent a message to Shadow Killer. The two had added each other as friends when they completed the transaction earlier.
It was only at this time that Lin Tianhao noticed.
Futu Shield Mountain had sent him more than ten messages.
"Big brother Snow Emperor, I am willing to offer two hundred million. As long as you come, you will be the president of the Futu Guild."
"Big brother Snow Emperor, are you there? When will you come to the main city to take me along? The price is negotiable."
"Big brother Snow Emperor..."
Lin Tianhao had been busy with his own affairs, so his messages were on do not disturb mode.
No matter what, Futu Shield Mountain was his first partner.
Lin Tianhao replied: "Do not disturb messages, busy."
Then he went to the location sent by Shadow Killer.
At this time, Shadow Killer was fighting a level ten Twisted Treant.
Seeing Lin Tianhao's arrival, he solved the Treant in front of him and walked over.
"Shadow Killer, what is the follow-up task the village head gave you?"
Shadow Killer knew that he had already been tied to the same boat with Lin Tianhao, and spoke frankly:
"The village head asked me to protect the old drunkard in the tavern."
Hearing this, Lin Tianhao's eyes narrowed, "Today the village head also gave me a task, to kill the old drunkard."
"How could this be?" Shadow Killer was confused.
On the one hand, he was supposed to protect, and on the other hand, he was supposed to kill. This was obviously unreasonable.
However, Lin Tianhao already had a guess in his heart.
The village head was obviously trying to frame him.
As for the reason.
It was probably on this mandrake potion.
If his guess was correct.
This mandrake potion did not belong to the village head himself, but was stolen from Wang the blacksmith.
Let him poison and kill the old drunkard, and then let Shadow Killer rescue.
As long as Shadow Killer could delay him for a moment, the old drunkard might escape.
"Your task reward and punishment should not be light, right?" Lin Tianhao asked.
Shadow Killer nodded, "Yes."
"Since we killed Wang San and Wang Si together before, the village head knew that we were together, so he gave you this task. This is a bright scheme."
After thinking for a moment, Shadow Killer also thought of some things and couldn't help but ask.
"Judging from what you said, the village head asked you to kill as a pretext, and asked me to save as the real intention?"
Lin Tianhao nodded, "It can be said that the village head is trying to win people's hearts."
"How to say?"
"He gave me a kind of poison, asking me to poison the old drunkard. If I guess correctly, this poison should be unique to Wang the blacksmith."
"As long as I poison it, the old drunkard is saved by you, and there will be contradictions between the old drunkard and Wang the blacksmith."
Shadow Killer was surprised, "Sowing discord?"
"It should be like this. My task has no punishment, and the reward is also unknown."
"And your task has high reward and high punishment. The village head will definitely think that I will help you."
Shadow Killer took a deep breath and was very surprised, "I really didn't expect that the old village head in the Novice Village is so cunning."
Lin Tianhao smiled, "In this game, NPCs are not ordinary intelligent AI."
"What are you going to do?" Shadow Killer asked.
"Accomplish the village head's wish," Lin Tianhao said with a smile.
"As I said, this is a bright scheme. If I kill the old drunkard, I will harm you."
"Moreover, it is obvious that the village head's power is greater in the Novice Village. If the old drunkard dies, this plot line may be gone."
