753 Chapter 753 - Leading To Tragedy (1/2)
”Full speed ahead We're heading to Yunjiao Lakeside We need to stop Thousand Miles Drunk's quest at all costs!!!!” This uild leaders booarding Ye Xiaowu having played them for fools, only the upper echelon core uild leaders found this to be utterly e the about in Yunjiao Quarry when they suddenly received the change in order to head back to Yunjiao Lakeside and stop Thousand Miles Drunk They were all very confused, vaguely recalling how their guild leaders had said how they would rush over to Yunjiao Quarry and stop at nothing to prevent Thousand Miles Drunk's quest fro on?” It was inevitable for some players to have such queries
”There will be a debrief after we're done Hurry up!” That was essentially the response that these people got
The players froed out from Yunjiao Quarry, all of them on the march toward Yunjiao Lakeside Back in Yunjiao Lakeside, at the saus' eyes were closed, the sun slowly set, and the beautiful scenery was gone Courtney onceand deep embrace But in the next us to one side and turned around and begin to dig out a ditch
”Come help,” Gu Fei called on the other three players with hiether and very quickly finished digging the ditch Courtney picked up Angus' corpse and ju it doithin
”It's not gonna bury itself along with it, right?” Royal God Call whispered
”No,” Gu Fei said ”It would be a little cralared at the two us' side while inside that ditch, ju the corpse to rest down below Still keeping its eyes trained, it finally started to scatter so it or not?” Royal God Call asked
”What are you askingover to Courtney ”Do you need help?”
Courtney shook its head, so Gu Fei shrugged helplessly, and the four of theet covered by the dirt bit by bit
”None of those four guild leaders are anywhere nearby Could they all have been tricked to leave?” Gu Fei quietly asked Xi Xiaotian
”We may have tricked them away for now, but I believe they would be back here very soon Do you really think that they won't leave anyone behind out here, and that we've ether, right?” Xi Xiaotian said
”Our location is just too proht This spot that allowed them to take in the beautiful landscape in front of them was similarly a place where anyone near Yunjiao Lake could see it It was particularly eye-catching
”It can't be helped It's the NPC who chose this spot,” Xi Xiaotian sighed
”Then theytheir way back very soon Can't that woman hurry up,” Gu Fei was anxious
”There's movement in the reeds,” Royal God Call suddenly blurted
”You saw sohted
”Yup!” Royal God Call nodded
”What's the coordinates!?” Gu Fei asked
Royal God Call glowered back at hih estimation,” Gu Fei said
That hen Royal God Call had a brainwave, and he fired an arrow out to pinpoint the location Gu Fei lifted his sword and was about to dash off after it when Xi Xiaotian called out, ”There's of course going to be people in the reeds, so how do you know they're going to be souilds?”
Gu Fei frozeinside these reeds was not unique to the players fro the the tall reeds here around Yunjiao Lakeside, so perhaps Royal God Call had only seen the movement made by a pair of lovebirds?
”I saw someone move,” Royal God Call truthfully related what he saw ”If that had been a normal player, there's no need for theet up fro hands when they leave There was no need for them to creep about and keep themselves hidden”
”What you see isn't the proble their identity e get there ourselves,” Xi Xiaotian said
”Scaring them a bit would be fine too,” Gu Fei's weapon was still raised
”Are you getting restless because you can't get to slay anyone?” Xi Xiaotian asked
”It's going to take a while before it's done burying!” Gu Fei said
”I feel like we can help now,” Xi Xiaotian turned around and glanced over at Courtney, but discovered that after the dirt had co to er as hesitant and deliberate like before
”Leta handful of dirt
Courtney did not respond to it, so the four of theot busy Soon, dirt filled the ditch and a shallow grave wasif they would still have to make a tombstone when Courtney softly placed its necklace on top of the grave and took several steps back, her gaze lingering over it
The four did not dare to disturb this scene, so they could only wait
They waited until Courtney spoke up, ”Thank you, all of you”
Gu Fei gave a long sigh He reckoned the storyline of Courtney and Angus' love story had prettynext should be the plot regarding the other relevant matters, and that would be what he needed to carry on his current quest!
”You're welcoht to how they would be continuing the quest, and he had already prepared a segway to stir the conversation, ”How did Anguswith the Yunjiao Lake Water Storage and Drainage project? Why did you think he was already dead?”
”I don't know,” Courtney shook its head This answer essentially left the four players thunderstruck when they heard it
”However…” Courtney suddenly continued
”I love 'howevers'!” Royal God Call was sodown his cheeks
”Shut up, you” Gu Fei forbade him to make a noise as he listened to Courtney continue
”Teacher's the one who had told us' death He said that there had been a bit of accident during the Water Storage and Drainage project, and Angus had died underwater That hy I becaer, in hopes that I could forever accous will forever lay here,” Courtney pointed to the grave It had already been disheartened after all these years, and only a flicker of hope ignited when it heard Gu Fei h Courtney was unable to see Angus alive in the end, it was nothing cous' corpse had sunk to the bottom of the lake Courtney was actually sous' corpse and accompany hius turn into that? If it was not for this, he would not have needed to die at all! Don't you want to find out what really caused Angus' death?” Gu Fei asked Upon further consideration, it was very obvious that Angus' corpse had been attacked to death, but ever since Courtney discovered its corpse, it had never once asked how it died, who did the deed, and by its expression, it was evident it had no intention of asking at all
”What's the point of knowing? What I want is to be able to be together with Angus Even though he's already dead noill still stay by his side and protect him to the very end,” Courtney said
”I failed…” Gu Fei was helpless and could only adate what had caused Angus' death Do you have any clues you could provide to us?”
Courtney shook its head
Xi Xiaotian interrupted at this ti how introspective it sounds, perhaps the clue here is so that happened to her, but it would not remember it to be a clue like that”
Gu Fei pondered over this for a while ”That log cabin by the lakeside Is that place yours?”
”No That is Teacher Guiller there? Tell me more about him,” Gu Fei quickly asked
”This is after Guillerus' death to me After I left Teacher and went over to Yunjiao Lakeside to be a ranger, he would often stroll around Yunjiao Lakeside as well, and we happened to bump into each other like that Afterward, he told me that he liked the quiet a cabin, often using it to do some research when he's over here He would also come to ask me for help from time to time as well,” Courtney explained
”What sort of research is it?”Gu Fei asked
”The teacher said that the Water Storage and Drainage project was not perfect, so he needed to research and exaht In the notes you've exchanged with Angus, you once mentioned that the project was somewhat unsafe What is it?” Gu Fei asked
”I once, unintentionally, saw Teacher quarrel with sory before! I only heard him profess that the project was absolutely impossible, but the project still carried on, so I found it to be a little strange”
”Angus had previously ic to solve some of the issues that cropped up with the project Do you knohy?”
”I don't know,” Courtney answered
Gu Fei turned to regard the other three, ”Have you guys thought of any questions?”
”You've been here for so long, have you ever thought of searching for Angus' corpse in the bottom of the lake?” Xi Xiaotian asked
Courtney nodded, ”Teacher told ive it a shot, but I had secretly done it by ical enchantetting past it”
”How did you dive underwater?” Xi Xiaotian asked
”During the course of the project, there were sous had stolen soave it to me,” Courtney explained
”Can we borrow them from you?” Xi Xiaotian asked
