Chapter 232: White Orchid Rain Festival (XIV)

"This is for you. If you keep it with me, you will become like them."

Old man Zhang changed his skeptical attitude and became very trusting of Nan Huan. It seemed that in his eyes, it was almost impossible to make those little dragons come back without any changes.

Nan Huan did not act pretentiously and simply reached out to take it. This was the only wood sculpture that did not turn into a little dragon, and it was also the only one that was different from the others.

She could roughly understand what Old Man Zhang meant. After all, when she first saw Old Man Zhang, Nan Huan discovered that there were more than one different wood carvings, but now there was only this one left.

However, she did not quite understand the mystery hidden in this change, and Old Man Zhang could not tell her due to the game, so Nan Huan temporarily pretended that he did not understand it very well and did not point it out directly.

[Wooden amulet*1: Can resist fatal damage at a critical moment.

Tip: This wood carving seems to be different. The miracle of a hundred years ago may happen again. 】

The system prompt sounded when Nan Huan touched the wood carving.

The difference is that after the system explains the functionality of the wooden amulet, there is an additional prompt.

The words "miracle of a hundred years ago" stirred Nanhuan's nerves. It seemed that what happened a hundred years ago was not as simple as described in the plot summary.

"Okay, you all already understand the situation here," Old Man Zhang said nothing more. Whether it was the system's instruction or some other reason, he began to wave people away. "If you need to trade with me, just come here to find me before dark tomorrow night. Now please leave. I need to rest."

The players who had just completed a mission were a little confused. After hearing what Old Man Zhang said, they remembered that they had only received a clue in the special side quest and it was not a real transaction. There were still two more objects they needed to judge.

"What do you think is the key point in judging the trading partner?"

Coming out of Old Man Zhang's house, President Hongfen touched her chin while thinking and asking, "According to the clues we just got, the withered dragon scale paper requires the voluntary sacrifice of the dragon clan to obtain it. I think the buyer of this thing is more likely to be a dragon clan, right?"

As she spoke, she gestured towards Old Man Zhang's room and said, "Do you think this person is from the Dragon Clan?"

Nineteen was the first to shake his head. "No, he doesn't look dangerous. And even after what happened just now, I didn't see him transform."

But she didn't know what she was thinking about. As soon as she finished saying this, she felt something was wrong. "But he doesn't look like a human. How can he belittle his own kind?"

"He is human."

Bei Xi heard the discussion behind him and concluded in a very affirmative tone, "He doesn't have the murderous aura of a drugstore owner. He was considerate of us at the beginning. Although his words were unpleasant, his attitude clearly showed that he had a good impression of the dragon clan. There is no clear standard for mission selection. The situation may be different after choosing different buyers. But judging from the situation just now, meeting different buyers can trigger different special side missions and obtain different clues about dragon scale paper. The deadline is tomorrow night, which is still plenty of time. You can go to the other two places first."

Although no one knew what skills the president used to confirm Old Man Zhang's identity, past records and lessons learned had made everyone trust Bei Xi's words.

Everyone chatted for a few more words, and when they looked up again, President Alice asked, "Are we a little short of people?"

The players who had been blocked just now were standing at the intersection, but their number seemed wrong. Fortunately, Mad Hatter saw his president at a glance and hurried to meet him.

"President, First President, Miss, we were just guarding the roadside when we ran into people from the Gambler's Guild. They seemed to be heading to the pawnshop. Vice President Uriel was afraid that they might get some clues first, so he led some people to catch up with them."

After hearing what she said, President Barbie temporarily moved her injured arm that was hidden behind her back to the front. No wonder she didn't see Uriel.

After President Barbie contacted Uriel through the communication channel, she quickly obtained the location of the pawn shop.

After the blocking was lifted, the flow of people on the streets of Bailan City has resumed, but maybe it was because Bei Xi became famous in the pharmacy just now, but in any case, there were no more people secretly looking at them.

But the closer you get to the pawnshop, the more people there are, and there are many people gathered around who seem to be watching the fun.

Bei Xi protected Nan Huan and squeezed in the crowd for a while before he led a large army to meet up with Uriel.

"President, how did you get hurt?"

Uriel brought the players from the second guild out and finally reunited with their own guild leader. She saw her injuries at first sight, especially because of Guild Leader Barbie's personal skills, the other party was actually not easily injured, so she seemed very surprised.

"It's fine now. Just take some time to recover after the dungeon." President Barbie knew she couldn't escape, so she quickly raised her half-arm that was tightly wrapped in bandages to signal, "The situation just now was a bit complicated. I'll tell you in detail later."

"Don't worry, Vice President. I've asked Nineteen to help deal with it." Nan Huan received President Barbie's look asking for help and helped explain, "It's just that you can't do strenuous activities or use skills for the time being. We can take care of the rest. Just keep an eye on your president."

Uriel finally put his worries at ease and felt that he had lost his composure. After expressing his gratitude, he reported the current situation to the president and the eldest lady.

"Dear guild leaders, young ladies, we just saw the Gambler Guild Leader's people coming here. They must have received a side quest, so they chose to come to the pawn shop. We were worried that they had obtained some clues in advance, so we followed them. However, this pawn shop is a bit strange."

Uriel glanced at the house not far away, motioning everyone to look at the large group of people at the door of the pawnshop, and then added, "Logically speaking, the five guilds appear to be an alliance and want to deal with us, but in fact, each guild should want to embezzle the fragments of the Faith Totem. In this case, let alone the human wave tactics, at least bringing one more person would be safer. However, after the players of those guilds stood at the door for a while, only the Gambler Guild President, the Assassin Guild President, the Corpse Driving Guild President, and the Judge Guild President entered the pawnshop, and the rest were left outside. They did not bring any players with them, only went in by themselves, and the Miaojiang Guild President stood outside the whole time."

After Uriel's hint, Nanhuan finally found Miaojiang among the crowd in front of the pawnshop.

"It's a bit strange. We haven't arrived yet, and they went in without any problems. Why did only a few presidents go in?"

Nineteen looked puzzled, and it seemed as if he wanted to confirm the number of people to start counting.

"Either the system has a certain number of people in the pawn shop's mission settings, or the more people that enter here, the greater the danger."

Nan Huan thought it was a good thing that they didn't bring other people in. She was more concerned about Miao Jiang's condition. "But Miao Jiang's condition is obviously not right. Even if there are restrictions on the number of people or the danger, they should send someone in to become a saint and get the faith totem fragments. But everyone in their guild is outside. She has been acting strange since this morning. Yesterday's mission must have had some impact on her."

At the same time, the doll standing in the crowd also had an anxious look on her face. She really didn't understand what her guild leader was doing. "President, are we really not going in? The presidents of other guilds have already gone in. Maybe there will be some clues inside, who knows?"

After coming out of the High Priest's Mansion in the morning, Doll felt that something was wrong with her president. Even though the flowers had withered last night, the housekeeper had said that it was okay in the morning. She didn't understand why Miao Jiang was still unhappy, and sometimes his eyes would look so gloomy that they were a little creepy.

"President, President?"

The doll cried twice again, and finally came to its senses when it saw Miao Jiang.

"Huh? What's wrong? What did you say? I didn't hear you?"

Miao Jiang pinched her eyebrows tiredly. She seemed to be unable to hear the noise around her at all and seemed very impatient.

"I mean, are we really not going in? Aren't we here just to get the fragments of the faith totem? The system said that we have to become a saint, but now..."

"There is not only one way to become a saint, or to get the fragment of the Faith Totem," Miao Jiang said thoughtfully, as if he had made a decision. "Listen to me, I promise that our guild will be the second guild to get the fragment of the Faith Totem..."

She didn't want to say more, nor did she want to listen to the doll's questions.

Just hiding in the crowd to catch the figure of the eldest lady, Miao Jiang soon realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his body. The blood vessels covered by the skin began to itch uncontrollably, as if ten thousand ants were crawling there.

She instinctively reached out to scratch the itchy area on her arm, but scratching did not relieve the itch at all. Instead, it made the situation worse. Soon her skin was scratched by herself.

But the itching did not subside at all. Miao Jiang even found that the blood vessels on her arm had turned purple in color and were much clearer than normal. She could even feel the pulsation inside the blood vessels, as if there was something there.

It was unknown how long this situation lasted. When Miao Jiang came to his senses and looked down, he found that his arm was intact, without any scratches, and his blood vessels were intact in his body. It seemed that everything that had just happened was a dream.

On the Nanhuan side, everyone has already agreed to first approach the pawnshop to take a look at the situation before deciding how many people should enter.

The players from those guilds, seeing the guild leader and the young lady approaching, instinctively wanted to stop them, but whether it was the advantage in numbers or the absence of the guild leader who could shock the crowd, they seemed a little hesitant.

The only person present, the president of Miaojiang, simply looked at the young lady with an unclear look and did not express any other opinions.

On the other hand, the eldest lady and the chairman did not seem to feel threatened at all and pushed through the crowd.

Little did Nan Huan know that as soon as he approached the pawnshop sign, he heard the system prompt sound.

[Pawnshop Description: An all-powerful pawnshop that can fulfill wishes of equal value through pawning.]

Nan Huan stopped and thought that the president who had just entered should have also heard this reminder, so he decided to go in by himself in the end. There should be more than this.

[Yizhihua is the long-time owner of this pawnshop. Be careful not to disobey her.]

Well, there is a hidden rule of death here, you cannot disobey the owner of the pawnshop.

[In addition, you need to abide by the following rules when entering a pawn shop:

1. Anyone who enters a pawnshop must pawn something of his own.

2. Every time you pawn an item, you can make a wish. The value of the pawned item is measured by the boss Yizhihua. The wish you make can only be equal to or less than the value of the pawned item and within Yizhihua's ability.

It is not a free trade, but a forced trade. As long as you enter, you have to pawn your items.

Nan Huan certainly didn't think that this was an ordinary pawn shop, nor did she think that the system required them to pawn ordinary jewelry or something like that.

Moreover, the value of the pawned item is determined by the pawnshop owner.

Unless it is a specific item or something with a certain market value, it is difficult to objectively evaluate the value of other things.

And all of these are just requirements for entering the pawn shop, and even now the system's task prompt has not been triggered.

"This requirement does not really require too many players if our goals are the same."

They did not make a decision immediately, but stood together to discuss. Nan Huan took the lead in giving her own opinion. "If this is just a requirement for entry, then it is even more unnecessary. If we can really find a balanced trading method, maybe we can get useful information."

The Workers Guild President disagreed with her opinion. "But if there are any special side quests triggered in there like before, the other side has four guild presidents, and if our number is too small, it won't work."

This does make sense. After all, we cannot rule out this possibility, so we cannot take it lightly.

"Then four of us will come in, and President Barbie and the eldest lady will have a rest." Bei Xi made the decision, but as soon as she finished speaking, Nan Huan rejected it.

"I won't rest. I just got a reward that allows me to resist fatal damage once. It may save my life at a critical moment. And if there is another black energy later, you won't be able to handle it without me."

Everyone understood the president's thoughts. After all, no one knew what the situation was. It was understandable that he was worried and didn't want the young lady to take risks.

But what the eldest lady said did make sense. The reward was secondary. After all, their abilities were pretty good and should be enough to protect themselves. But as for the black aura, they couldn't even see it, let alone deal with it.

"Except for President Barbie, should we all go, so that we can have someone to look after us?"

The Red Pink President acted as a peacemaker, hoping to ease the current atmosphere. After all, based on past experience, the words of a president are not always effective.

"President Barbie is injured, and she may not be able to do it alone. There is a Miao Jiang over there, and we can't let any chaos happen outside," Nan Huan analyzed in advance, "President Hongfen, please support us outside and protect everyone. You have special personal abilities, and you can keep everyone safe when the crisis comes."

"Don't worry, I will tell you the news I got in the pawn shop truthfully."

Nan Huan thought about it and felt that this was the best arrangement.

She was a little worried that Hongfen might have other thoughts about her arrangement, so she hurriedly explained it, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party.

"Miss, how can I not trust you?" Hongfen was a little speechless, not knowing what kind of person she was in the other person's eyes. "As long as the president agrees, I have no problem."

Everyone else looked at Bei Xi, as if waiting for a confirmation from the other party.

Bei Xi looked at Nan Huan helplessly. She selfishly didn't really want to let him in. After all, there were not many opportunities to choose. But Nan Huan's insistence was not wrong. After thinking for a moment, she decided to keep him by her side to feel more at ease.

In the end, President Hongpin and President Barbie stayed outside the pawnshop, and the other presidents followed President Hongpin and the eldest lady into the pawnshop.

From the outside, the pawnshop looked like an ordinary shop, nothing special. But the moment he entered, Nan Huan's eyes went dark and the hand that was held by Bei Xi was forced to let go.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw only a green light.
