Chapter 282 What Happened Today?

"Where's my old blacksmith Brent?"

Jiang Bai stared at the blacksmith shop with the door closed in confusion, "Did you drink too much and fall asleep?"

"Old guy? Old guy?"

Jiang Bai knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He thought about violently breaking in, but the system wouldn't let him.

"It looks like he's not at home anymore."

"This can't be done."

On the way back, Jiang Bai was puzzled, "You are the old blacksmith of Novice Village. He is not in Novice Village. How can these novice players repair their equipment? Buy and sell weapons? Accept missions?"

"This is completely unreasonable."

Thinking about it, the old village chief's home is already in front of him.

Jiang Bai suddenly raised his head and saw the drowsy old village chief. Jiang Bai stepped forward in two steps.

"Village chief, where is the old blacksmith Brent?"

It was rare for someone to come to the door. The old village chief, whose face was full of sleep, forced a professional smile.

"This adventurer, are you looking for a blacksmith?"

"right."

"Oh, the previous blacksmith shop in the village is no longer in business. You go east from here. Jiaxin's blacksmith shop is opened at the east end of the village. If you need anything, you can go there. I have already prepared it for you on your mini map. Marked."

"No... village chief, I'll just find the old blacksmith Brent. He still has my mission."

In order to look like he was in a hurry, Jiang Bai casually made up a lie.

"Task?"

The village chief glanced at Jiang Bai doubtfully, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"This is impossible, adventurer. Brent transferred all the tasks before leaving. How come you still have tasks?"

"Well……"

"All right……"

Jiang Bai, who was disappointed, was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I just want to find Brent. He also wants to use the Hammer of the Ancestors to help me upgrade my weapons."

"I see."

The old village chief suddenly understood and shook his head at Jiang Bai.

"Then I'm afraid you have to change your approach or hire someone else. Brent is no longer here."

"Where did he go?"

Jiang Bai asked.

But the old village chief just shook his head indifferently.

"Unfortunately, adventurer, I don't know either."

"..."

Looking at the old village chief becoming sleepy again, Jiang Bai really wanted to make an affectionate confession to the old village chief.

"I love you!"

…

Jiang Bai felt that he had spent the whole day in confusion.

I left the Mage Tower with doubts, hoping to get some comfort from Brent in the Novice Village.

But he didn't want to leave Novice Village with more doubts.

"What happened today?"

"What's going on?"

He casually bought a twenty-centimeter-long, super-thick black pepper pure meat grilled sausage on the street. The more Jiang Bai ate, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Originally, he planned to happily queue up for a battlefield after upgrading his equipment from the Novice Village, but now he was in no mood.

"Why don't you go ask my master?"

"After all, it seems that my master and the old blacksmith have a good relationship."

Thinking about it, Jiang Bai rode the little black horse all the way to the misty swamp.

"Master!!!"

Before entering the door, Jiang Bai's drake voice came in first.

"What's the matter?"

Abidal was standing in front of the operating table at this time, mixing some purple liquid. It smelled both fragrant and smelly, and he didn't know what it was.

"Master, what is this?"

Jiang Bai pointed at the purple liquid and asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Obviously, Abidal has no time to joke with Jiang Bai at the moment.

"You have something to talk about, what are you doing here?"

"No, Master, what's wrong with you? Did you eat a cannon?"

Listening to Abidal's stiff and cold voice, Jiang Bai was puzzled. Abidal was not like this before.

"No, I always do."

Abidal responded coldly.

"Here……"

Jiang Bai felt why he was so unlucky today.

The leader of the Underworld was kicked out by a guy from the Sangmen Star. The novice village in the Mage Tower was not going well, and he was still not welcome here in Abidal.

"What day is today for riding a horse?"

"Master, is it because I didn't bring you wine?"

Jiang Bai asked cautiously.

"Am I such a realistic person?"

Abidal rolled his eyes at Jiang Bai, "What do you mean you didn't even say hello when you passed by me last time? If I have something to do here, Zhong Wuyan, if nothing else, where is Xia Yingchun?"...

"Fuck!"

"Master, you even know who Zhong Wuyan Xia Yingchun is? You are so awesome, Master!!"

Jiang Bai suddenly looked shocked. You must know that this is NPPC!

"Martin doesn't even know what a fortune-telling stall is, and this Abidal can even use allusions like Summer Yingchun Zhong Wuyan, what's going on?"

Jiang Bai now has reason to suspect that some NPCs in this game are completely controlled by living people.

"hehe."

Abidal sneered, put down his work and turned around, "You look down on people, don't you?"

"Let's talk quickly. I don't have time to chat with you. I'm really busy."

"All right……"

"Master, the old blacksmith Brent is missing."

After saying this, Jiang Bai looked at Abidal expectantly, but was disappointed to find that Abidal didn't have any strange reaction at all.

"Then what?"

Abidal was holding two measuring cups and mixing different liquids into them.

"Do you know where he went?"

"I have to find him."

Abidal did not speak immediately.

After quietly mixing the two liquids, he turned around.

"Do you really know Brent?"

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't seem to understand him very well. The old guy is a bit withdrawn and doesn't want to talk too much to others."

"He's in trouble."

Abidal sighed softly, "I hope you can go and help him. If you are willing, you can take this with you."

With that said, Abidal handed the final purple liquid to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai, on the other hand, drank the bottle of purple liquid with a look of confusion and shock.

"Do you know that I will come to you today because of Brent?"

"No."

Abidal smiled and shook his head, "I'm not sure it's today, but I'm sure you will come to me about Abidal."

"Awesome!"

Jiang Bai was in awe.

"My master has a divine plan and predicts things like a god. He is really awesome and tough, master!"

"piss off……"

Abidal waved his hand, then smiled, showing his big white teeth.

"Since you took over the only hidden mission from Brent and obtained the Dark Ranger's letter of introduction, this mission can only be done by you."

"In Brent's words, it's fate, little bastard."

"..."

When Jiang Bai took the purple liquid, the sudden sound of the system rang in his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission [Looking for the old blacksmith Abrent]. Do you accept it?"

"accept!"

Jiang Bai accepted the task without hesitation, and then looked at the bottle of mysterious purple liquid.
