Chapter 243: Change into a Gift Mission Node Arrives
The next day, Daisy came to Will Farm and told Miss Jenny about the white-haired goblin in a black robe that she saw when she returned home last night.
"The white-haired fairy in a black robe?" When Rong Zhen heard this strange name, she subconsciously thought of someone hiding in the dark and giving her things.
He is also wearing a black robe and has long white hair. Could it be the same person?
Daisy nodded seriously. "It's a person wearing a black robe, with long white hair, and who looks like a fairy. He hides in the dead woods outside the farm and trades fruit for candy with me."
She took the green fruit back and gave it to her mother to eat. It did relieve the pain, but it didn't seem to have much effect on the injuries caused by the dragon's flames.
But if it could relieve her mother's pain a little, the candies Miss Jenny gave her would be worth it.
Trading fruit for candy with the kids? Rongzhen let out a faint smile.
This shows that the other person is not a bad person. If he wants something, he knows to exchange his own things for it instead of snatching it away.
Perhaps it was because this happened in a small human town, rather than the chaotic wilderness, that made the man cautious.
"From now on, you should go with the other hired workers in town and don't go back alone." After giving Daisy instructions, Rongzhen gave her the first task of the day, which was to carry her small basket to the hillside to pick some wild flowers and put them in a vase.
Daisy ran downstairs happily and met the mayor who was brought in by the gatekeeper.
The old man patted her head kindly and asked, "How is little Daisy doing here?"
Daisy smiled brightly and replied, "I'm very happy. I have enough to eat and wear. Miss Jenny also taught me how to read. I've memorized several of them, Grandpa Mayor."
The mayor stroked his gray beard and nodded with satisfaction. He let Daisy hop and go pick flowers, and followed the gatekeeper upstairs to the reception room.
Upon hearing the news, Mary brought almost everything to entertain the guests and informed Miss Jenny that the mayor was coming to visit.
Rongzhen changed into a coat and came out to meet the guest, asking him why he came.
The mayor said politely, "I'm here to talk to Miss Jenny. Lillian from the John family has returned from the forest. She said she's been invited by the Elf King to visit the Elf Paradise and the Royal Palace. With the support of the elves, she's ready to venture out and find the lair of the fire-breathing dragon to avenge the fallen townspeople."
Rongzhen was not surprised to hear this. According to the development of the plot, it was indeed almost time for Lillian to set off.
She was puzzled. The Elf King was clearly asleep. Who among the elves had Lillian received support? And hadn't she gone there with her own people? How did she become invited by the Elf King?
"Do you believe what she said?" Rong Zhen did not expose Lillian's lies right away, but asked the mayor first to test his attitude towards the matter.
From what she knew, Lillian's credibility wasn't very high in everyone's eyes, and she wasn't very reliable.
Is it really okay to entrust her with such an important task as seeking revenge on the dragon?
The mayor smiled knowingly. "Although Lillian doesn't have a good reputation in town, since she's determined, let her give it a try. Young people always yearn for the outside world and want to become brave and fearless adventurers. We can't stop them, so why not let her go and give everyone more hope?"
Rongzhen understood.
What the mayor meant was that Lillian was an unstable factor in the town. To put it nicely, she was lively, brave and adventurous, but to put it bluntly, she was a troublemaker. She wanted to leave here and go out to cause trouble in the name of finding the dragon for revenge. The townspeople were eager to see her go.
In addition, she said that she had the support of the elves. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they had to express their stance. What if she really succeeded with the help of the elves in the end?
Life is hard enough now, so we have to keep some hope in everyone's hearts.
For these reasons, the mayor took the trouble to inform every household of the news and told them that he was going to have everyone bid farewell to Lillian together.
It was at this farewell party that the original owner reluctantly gave his only remaining treasure to Lillian as travel expenses.
So Rongzhen’s first mission node has arrived.
"Don't worry, I'll be there when the time comes. Please come in person."
Rongzhen readily agreed, escorted the mayor to the farm gate, and gave him a basket of rye bread and raspberry jam.
Her family runs a farm, so delivering food is the most suitable thing for her. Although there are merchants in the town now, food and drink are still the most troublesome issue.
The mayor probably knew that her family didn't need these things, so he happily accepted them and left.
Rong Zhen watched him leave and did not go back. She asked Daisy to accompany her for a walk around the area. She did not see the white-haired fairy in black robe that she was looking for, but she saw many emerald green buds sprouting from the roots of charred dead trees, and many tender green grass buds quietly emerging from the black and gray ground, as if spring had returned to the earth.
Judging by the time, we are still at the end of spring.
If the giant dragon hadn't suddenly come here to cause trouble, the lakeside town and its surroundings would have already become full of spring and blooming flowers.
"Miss Jenny, they have sprouted and are not dead!" Daisy was the most surprised and gestured to Rongzhen excitedly.
Rong Zhen muttered something about how wildfires can't extinguish fires, and spring breezes bring new growth. Then, under the girl's bewildered gaze, she rubbed her yellow hair. "That means now's the right time to replant. It won't delay our autumn harvest. Go back and learn a few more words from me to celebrate."
Daisy looked up and said yes loudly. She was not a child who hated studying. On the contrary, she loved studying.
When the two turned around and prepared to go back, a white arc flashed behind a dead tree not far away and was caught by Rong Zhen out of the corner of his eye.
She did not disturb the other person. As she walked, she seemed to accidentally drop the thing in her hand on the ground, and then walked away unconsciously.
It was a very small purse, made of earth-colored fabric, with a vibrant green vine embroidered on it. The branches and leaves were clearly visible, and it looked very beautiful.
In the eyes of someone hiding in the dark, it was so attractive, just like her who had just left.
My body moved as my heart moved, and a black shadow flashed by, and the purse disappeared in an instant.
"Oh, I seem to have dropped something." Rong Zhen, who had not walked far, suddenly said, and brought Daisy back.
The man in black robe had just received the bag of thin grass candies and had not yet decided what to do with them when he was caught off guard by the master and servant who suddenly returned.
Without thinking too much, he quickly took out all the candies and put them in his pocket, then stuffed the sweetest red fruit into his purse. Before being discovered by the two men, he dropped his purse and ran away quickly.
Rongzhen tried his best to speed up his pace, but still failed to catch someone in the act.
Rongzhen was not surprised by the result since Daisy had told her that he ran very fast. It was just a simple attempt.
Daisy quickly noticed the purse that had fallen on the ground, and hurriedly picked it up, blew off the dust, and carefully handed it to Rongzhen.
Rongzhen smiled and said that it was not a precious item and there was no need to treat it so carefully. But when she got it in her hand and felt the texture that was obviously different from candy, as well as the round shape, the smile on her face couldn't help but deepen.
Very good, he even knows how to return the favor, he is a polite guy.
Back at the farm building, Rongzhen first assigned Daisy today's study tasks. When they were alone, she opened her purse and took out the red fruit inside.
The fruit exudes a light fruity fragrance and smells very sweet. I wonder what its effect is, or if it is just an ordinary sweet fruit?
To be on the safe side, Rongzhen didn't eat it and continued to put it in her purse and carry it with her.
Thinking about going through the plot tomorrow to see off the heroine Lillian, she took out the substitute treasures she had prepared earlier from the space.
A sparkling transparent crystal box and a necklace made of red agate glass beads were all picked up by Rong Zhen for free in the previous world. She didn't spend a penny on them, but they are considered treasures here.
After all, things are valuable because they are rare.
Rongzhen called Mary and asked her to help evaluate the value of these two items in the eyes of the indigenous people.
Mary carefully held the crystal box containing the agate necklace and exclaimed, "They are so beautiful. Are they also a collection of the master and mistress?"
Rong Zhen nodded and said, "This is the last one. The other valuable set was sold to the elves in exchange for supplies and funds to repair the farm. I want to give this one to Lillian, who is about to venture far away to find the dragon's lair. It is my apology and a token of my gratitude for not being able to avenge my parents personally."
"Aunt Mary, what do you think? Is it too simple?"
Mary's mouth dropped open in surprise. "How could that be? They're worth at least a hundred gold coins, Miss Jenny. You've got to think it through."
Rong Zhen lowered her eyes. Since a simple crystal box and red agate necklace could be worth hundreds of gold coins, wouldn't the jewelry box and gem necklace that the original owner gave to Lillian in the plot be worth even more?
If she hadn't given it away but sold it to renovate the farm, she probably wouldn't have died of exhaustion.
And she dared to give such a valuable thing, and Lillian actually dared to accept it, tsk.
"Let me think about it."
After hearing what Mary said, Rongzhen wanted to change her mind. She was reluctant to give away something worth hundreds of gold coins. Even though it was worthless to her, it was valuable in this world. Instead of giving it to Lillian for nothing, it would be better to sell it to Huichi Farm.
As for the gift that needs to be given to Lillian to complete the task?
Rong Zhen rummaged through the inventory in the space and picked out a palm-sized transparent perfume bottle, both the lid and the bottle body were made of glass.
Actually, glass is a similar type of glass crystal, so it should be able to hold Fountain of Life, right? If it can't, it means the Fountain of Life is too weak, and it has nothing to do with the bottle it is in, right?
Thinking this, Rongzhen comfortably replaced the crystal box with an empty glass perfume bottle, and after thinking for a while, she stuffed a few glass marbles into it.
OK, that's as far as it goes, there's no cheaper option.
The next day, the survivors gathered again in the town square.
But this time, the people gathered in the center of the square were no longer elves, but Lillian and her friends.
They now stood there in high spirits, with their heads held high, accepting everyone's farewell blessings and gifts. With a needle from one family and a thread from another, they slowly put together a bag so that they would not leave empty-handed.
In any case, they left in the name of revenge for everyone, and even if everyone had a bad impression of them, they would not be stingy with this little thing.
The mayor presented a bag of silver coins, which was the most valuable gift anyone had ever given before Rong Zhen came.
Rongzhen delivered her own portion after him, and put the things in a sky blue pocket.
莉莉安收到後當場打開，露出在太陽光下熠熠生輝的香水瓶和玻璃彈珠，差點閃花圍觀人群的眼睛。
