Chapter 197 The legends are true
Lin Jiu and the other two quickly bought the ten tomatoes and a bag of chicken required by the rules.
Anyway, the rules only said to buy meat, and when Lin Jiu thought of fried food, he thought of chicken, so they bought chicken.
There are 85 weird points left.
Ten tomatoes are very cheap, only costing 5 weird points, and chicken costing 10 weird points.
However, Lin Jiu reasonably suspected that the merchants deliberately sold it to them at a low price, because along the way, the residents of the small town were very enthusiastic towards them, simply because they were wearing exorcist costumes.
"So what do you want to buy next?" Ivan asked, holding the bag.
"I don't know if this is the only weird point or if there are 100 weird points every day." Charles frowned slightly.
"It should... not be just this, right?" Ivan said uncertainly.
Lin Jiu didn't care about this issue.
After buying some random ingredients, I had 65 weird points left.
In the end, they chose to buy more ingredients, so that the next group of people who came to the town only needed to buy what the rules required.
"Maybe we could buy more tomatoes and meat?"
Charles quickly understood why Ivan said that.
"You're overthinking it. They'll definitely ask us to buy more the next day."
Ivan just cursed when he heard this: "What a crazy couple."
"I ordered it." Lin Jiu agreed.
The three of them walked on the streets of the town. More and more residents were coming and going, and Charles intended to find the woman he had seen before.
Just like players in the game need to contact certain NPCs to unlock subsequent plots, Charles believes that the woman may be the NPC that allows players to unlock subsequent plots.
Lin Jiu and Ivan had no objection, as they had enough time to stay in the small town.
But just in case, Lin Jiuyou suggested that no matter how late they left, they should leave two hours in advance.
No matter what obstacles he encountered, Lin Jiu believed that all actions should focus on exorcising the demons in the castle.
Charles and Ivan did not refuse and still raised their hands to show their agreement.
The process of finding the ghost went smoothly. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the three of them happened to run into the middle-aged woman on their way back.
"Are you ready to go back?" the middle-aged woman asked after taking a look at the bag in Ivan's hand.
"Yeah." It was still Charles who answered.
The middle-aged woman nodded, and she looked hesitant again, and it was obvious that she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
This time, Charles took the initiative to ask: "Excuse me, is there anything else?"
"this....."
"If you need help, ask as soon as possible, don't worry."
The middle-aged woman waved her hands hurriedly. "Oh, it's not about helping, it's just... did you come down from the mountain? I heard that family hired an exorcist..."
"Yes." Charles nodded. "Is there any problem with that?"
"I just wanted to warn you that the castle is truly eerie!" the middle-aged woman said in a low voice, "Such a strange castle, and the people who live there are also strange. They spend so much money to bring trouble upon themselves...tsk tsk tsk tsk."
The middle-aged woman shook her head.
She did not show any disgust towards the Smiths, but it was obvious that she was very afraid of the castle.
"That castle will eat people! I'm not kidding! You must be careful!"
"Yes." Charles nodded with a smile, then asked in confusion, "But why did you say that the castle would eat people?"
"If they can eat people, they will eat people. There were exorcists here before you, but none of them left alive. No one who lived in that castle had a good ending either."
"Has an exorcist come to us before?"
The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes, but I heard it from my mother. Don't think I'm lying. Just grab any old person in town and they'll all say the same thing!"
The three of them looked at each other and silently wrote down the information.
"Let me tell you something. You may not believe other legends, but the legends about that ancient castle are all true."
"If you don't believe me, just go to the mayor's house. He knows the most."
So the three of them went to the mayor's house.
However, after knocking on the door, the person who opened it was not the mayor, but a young man.
The young man was stunned when he saw Lin Jiu and the other two. At that moment, Lin Jiu saw a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Hello, we want to see the mayor." Charles was still responsible for the communication.
"Ah? You're looking for grandpa..." The young man felt lost for a moment, but soon he smiled again, "Sorry, grandpa is not here. He's away on a long trip."
"How long will it take for you to come back?"
"Hmm... the day after tomorrow."
It happened to be the day when it was the three of them's turn to go out shopping.
"Do you have anything to ask Grandpa? I can help you convey it."
"Well, we want to know something about the old castle on the mountain."
Hearing this, the young man's expression changed.
"Ancient Castle?" He frowned, then suddenly realized something and said, "Are you the exorcists who accepted the commission from the ancient castle?"
Charles nodded.
"Just the three of you?"
The young man looked at the three of them, and the expression on his face made Lin Jiu and Ivan want to punch him.
Just as the two were about to step forward to "argue", Charles stopped them with his sharp eyes.
"No, eleven in total."
"What's the leader's rank?" the young man continued, "Are there any senior exorcists?"
Charles did not answer: "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question."
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Boy, your questions are a bit suspicious.
As if realizing that he was being too demanding, the young man hurriedly explained, "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean any harm! It's just that the castle is very dangerous, and I'm afraid you'll end up like those exorcists who came here before..."
As he spoke, the young man lowered his head.
It seemed as if he was very sad about the sacrifices of those exorcists.
Lin Jiu spoke at this time, "Do you want to be an exorcist?"
Hearing this, the young man raised his head and looked at Lin Jiu in surprise.
"Huh?! How did you know?!"
".....It's obvious."
Lin Jiu thought, when you opened the door and saw the three of us wearing exorcist uniforms, your eyes would be glued to us.
"Is that so...? Haha..." The young man smiled shyly and scratched his head. "I do plan to take the Exorcist exam, but my grandfather hopes that I can inherit his position."
"Oh, by the way, we've been talking for so long, why don't you guys come in and sit down?"
