Please charm this NPC

Although Wang Zhenyao, who had delusions about him, was successfully driven away, Ran Wenyu's idea of ​​getting rid of Anfeier through this was in vain.

Unable to refuse Anfeier's apologetic invitation, Ran Wenyu took a tour of the village under the leadership of the other party, but it was a pity that he had nothing to gain except for showing his face in front of all the villagers—after all, even if the village had a secret , It is certainly impossible for Anfeier to confess it to others.

The whole village is roughly circular. The center of the village is a large square that is also circular, which occupies almost half of the area of ​​the village. The houses of the residents seem to be built around the central square, which is not well-organized. On the contrary, it feels a bit messy and free-spirited-however, for a primitive island village, such an arrangement of houses should be taken for granted.

The central square is the place where the celebration is held. At this time, most of the villagers are gathered here, preparing for the celebration in seven days—oh, no, it should be six days now—and they perform their duties in an orderly manner.

For the arrival of Anfeier and Ran Wenyu, the villagers expressed a respectful and friendly attitude.Every aborigine who passed by the two of them would smile and bow to them, completely no longer the indifference and indifference of Ran Wenyu when he first entered the village, as if he was a very popular member of the village.

Of course, since the celebration is coming soon, there are many things that need to be dealt with by Anfeier.

Every few steps, there will be villagers carefully stopping in front of the two, asking Anfeier something in the local dialect, and Anfeier will reply after a little thought.

After doing this three or four times, Ran Wenyu logically bid farewell to Anfeier: "Anfeier, you seem to be very busy. If that's the case, you don't need to accompany me. I'll just walk around by myself."

Anfeier frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment.He looked at the busy villagers, and then at Ran Wenyu, who was beside him with a considerate face, obviously caught in the battle between heaven and man.I want to accompany the person I like, but I can't ignore the responsibilities on my shoulders, just like life, you can't have it both ways.

In the end, under Ran Wenyu's persistent persuasion, the priest's responsibility finally prevailed.Anfeier apologized to him, and sincerely invited him to play together on the day of the festival.

Of course Ran Wenyu was unwilling to accept his invitation. After all, there must be a big event happening on the day of the celebration, so why would they stir up trouble with Anfeier? !

It's a pity that Ran Wenyu was hesitant, but Anfeier was extraordinarily determined, as if he would never give up until he reached his goal.He seemed a bit clumsy and unable to speak, but stared at Ran Wenyu with those pale golden eyes pleadingly, making it impossible to say no words at all.

——Even if Ran Wenyu thinks he is a ruthless team-running machine.

Therefore, the group-running machine finally nodded, agreed to Anfeier's invitation, and secretly decided to perfunctory first. As for whether they will be together by then, that is another matter.

——Maybe on the day of the celebration, Ran Wenyu had already exposed his identity as a cult member, and completely broke with Anfeier?

After getting Ran Wenyu's consent, Anfeier finally turned and left reluctantly.Looking at the back of Anfeier surrounded by the villagers, Ran Wenyu also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter around him.

After successfully getting rid of Anfeier, Ran Wenyu continued to wander around the village, but still found nothing.So, he returned to the central square, thinking about whether he could find some clues from the most important place in the current village.

In the very center of the square was a tall pile of firewood, but there were still villagers coming out of the forest with baskets on their backs, adding bricks and tiles to the pile of dead branches.

Around the pile of firewood, there are wooden uprights. Only a few of the uprights stand up at present, and more are in the process of being made.The column is not high, but it is quite thick, and it probably needs two people to surround it. It is also carved with exquisite and detailed patterns.Ran Wenyu watched it closely, and could barely make out humans and various animals. These creatures were carved around the column round after round. There were about three or four floors from the bottom to the middle. A figure fluttering in his sleeves, wearing a hood and a mask, seems to be standing on a high platform, and seems to be flying in the air, being worshiped by everyone.

Apart from the carvings on the pillars, Ran Wenyu found nothing worth noting.He was a little bit regretful, and planned to go back to the hotel to take a rest, but when he turned around, he saw a beautiful and slim figure from the corner of his eye—it was the girl who stayed with Wang Zhenyao before.

Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the girl.

The girl didn't participate in the preparations for the celebration, but sat on a thick piece of wood that hadn't been carved into a pillar, staring blankly at the front.She seemed to be in a daze, and she didn't even notice Ran Wenyu's approach. It wasn't until Ran Wenyu coughed lightly and greeted her that she suddenly woke up and turned her head.

Seeing Ran Wenyu's face clearly, the girl quickly got up and bowed to him, but Ran Wenyu stopped him with a smile.

"Aren't you preparing for the celebration?" Ran Wenyu asked with a smile.Seeing the confused look on the girl's face, she realized later and switched to English again—this time, the girl finally understood.

She showed a shy smile, unconsciously clutching the same long white dress with both hands: "Yes, yes, I don't need to prepare for the celebration."

"Your English pronunciation is really good." Ran Wenyu praised.

The girl pursed her lips in embarrassment and bowed her head: "My English was taught by the priest. The priest is really good. Not only can he speak English, he also quickly learned Chinese after the arrival of foreigners."

Ran Wenyu nodded in agreement——Anfeier's Chinese is extremely standard, and his previous conversation with him was so natural and fluent that he even ignored that the two of them were talking in Chinese.

"Are you... are Anfeier's student?" Ran Wenyu asked tentatively, quite sure that the beautiful girl in front of her was also an important NPC.

The girl curled her hair and hesitated for a moment: "It should be...well." She blinked her eyes, "Although I have never called Mr. Priest a teacher, I have been taught by him since I was a child."

"...From childhood to adulthood?" Ran Wenyu quickly grasped the point.The girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and Anfeier was only in his early twenties. The age difference between the two could be described as "received education since childhood", which is a bit strange.

The girl seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she immediately calmed down, smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Priest has always been mature and stable, we can't treat him as a peer."

Ran Wenyu was thoughtful: "KP, I want to use psychology!"

KP secretly cast: [The girl's eyes flickered, although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, she felt a little bit of trying to cover up.You think she must not be telling the truth. 】

Ran Wenyu, who is only 30 in psychology: "……………………"

——Although my idea is not much different from this result, why can't I believe this conclusion after checking it with psychology?

Ran Wenyu was very helpless, so he had to let go of this topic for the time being: "Anfeier is the priest in the village, what about you? Are you a priest too?"

"I'm considered a saint." The girl tilted her head, a little embarrassed, "The priest will preside over the ceremony with me in six days. At that time, the priest will recite the prayer, and I will be there Dancing on the platform."

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it." Ran Wenyu said with a smile, "At that time, we will also come to participate in the festival."

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, the girl's eyes lit up and her cheeks were flushed: "Then... will Mr. Wang come too?"

"You mean Wang Zhenyao? Yes, all of us will come." Ran Wenyu nodded affirmatively.

The girl raised her hand to cover her raised mouth, as if she was forcibly suppressing her joy.

Ran Wenyu looked at the young girl's spring heart, and couldn't help but secretly sighed, "Wang Zhenyao is really a sinner", but when he thought of Anfeier, who was also teased by himself, he felt that he didn't seem qualified to say that.

——I can only feel that this pair of master and apprentice is really unlucky.

Although he had some sympathy for the girl who fell in love with a stallion, but seeing that she was so interested in Wang Zhenyao, Ran Wenyu had no choice but to use this scumbag as an entry point to start a conversation with the girl.

The girl calls herself Martha, and she lives on the island since she was a child, innocent and innocent.And she who has never experienced the flamboyant world outside, was naturally coaxed by Wang Zhenyao, who is superb at picking up girls, and easily embraced her sincerity.

In Martha's eyes, Wang Zhenyao is the best man in the world, tall and elegant, gentle and considerate, humorous and talkative, he is the prince charming in every girl's dream.

Listening to Martha constantly beautifying that scumbag stallion, Ran Wenyu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and retorted: "Why, in your opinion, is Wang Zhenyao better than Anfeier?"

Martha's mouth full of compliments stopped, and she blinked her eyes in embarrassment: "Dang, of course not, no matter how good Mr. Wang is, he can't compare with the priest."

Ran Wenyu agrees with this point.So he really couldn't believe that Martha, who had been by Anfeier's side all the time, would fall in love with another man so easily.However, soon, Martha answered his doubts: "However, the priest is too lofty, he is a god in the hearts of all of us. And how can gods and humans be compared?"

Ran Wenyu understood.

Speaking of Wang Zhenyao and Anfeier, Martha sighed long, her beautiful face was full of melancholy: "Mr. Wang is so nice, I really don't understand why the priest hates him so much." Recalling the scene not long ago , Martha couldn't help shivering, "I've never seen a priest look so angry, it's really... really scary."

Ran Wenyu looked at Martha who looked terrified and puzzled with pity, and really couldn't tell her that this was just a punishment for a "big failure": "I don't know much about this question, you can ask Anfeier or Wang Zhenyao."

"I don't dare to ask the priest." Martha put on a bitter face and sighed, "As for Mr. Wang... I don't know if I can see him again."

"He'll come over tomorrow, don't worry." Ran Wenyu comforted—although he didn't have much contact with Wang Zhenyao, he knew the nature of this stallion man quite well.

However, Martha did not show her face at all, but shook her head instead: "Impossible, even if Mr. Wang comes, the villagers will not let him in. After all, the priest just said that Mr. Wang is not welcome in this village."

Anfeier's words made Wang Zhenyao the village's object of rejection, and Ran Wenyu couldn't help being surprised that Anfeier's prestige in the village was higher than he imagined.Looking at Martha with a sad face, Ran Wenyu touched his chin: "If Wang Zhenyao can't come in, you can go out to see him?"

"...Impossible." Martha lowered her head, "My lord priest said that before the ceremony, I can't make any mistakes. Even, I can't prepare for the ceremony like other people, I can't enter the forest, I can't leave In the village, even carving knives cannot be used."

Ran Wenyu looked at the lost girl in surprise, and had to say that such a degree of caution was too much, and it was a bit unreasonable.

"Is it the same in the previous festivals?" Ran Wenyu asked tentatively.

"No." Martha shook her head. "Although the previous ceremonies were important, they hadn't reached such a level of mobilization for the whole village. The priest said that this time the ceremonies are different from the past, and no amount of preparation can be overstated."

Ran Wenyu was full of curiosity: "Then why is it different?"

"I'm not sure." Martha continued to shake her head, "However, the words of the priest are always right, we just need to obey."

I don't know whether Martha really didn't know, or she didn't want to say it. In short, Ran Wenyu asked several times, but he didn't get a useful answer.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ran Wenyu decided to go back home temporarily to exchange information with other players and NPCs. Unexpectedly, he had just bid farewell, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by Martha.

"Anything else?" Ran Wenyu asked suspiciously.

Martha's face was tangled, her white teeth bit her red lips, she struggled left and right for a long time, and then she whispered: "You, if you want to go back to the hotel, can you take me with you?"

Ran Wenyu was surprised: "Can you go back to the hotel with me? Didn't you just say that you can't leave the village?"

"Yes, if I'm alone, I definitely can't leave." Martha's big eyes flickered, "But, but if I'm with you, the priest may agree." She clasped her hands together and begged, "Mr. Ran, can you help me intercede with the priest, please? I just want to go to the hotel and see Mr. Wang. I won't trouble you! Really! "

Ran Wenyu couldn't bear to refuse the girl's plea. More importantly, bringing Martha back to the hotel might cause some wonderful chain reactions, allowing him to get some useful clues.

Ran Wenyu was shaken: "I'm going to ask Anfeier? Is it possible to succeed? I just met Anfeier for the first time today..."

"Whether you succeed or not, I will thank you!" Martha noticed Ran Wenyu's hesitation and was ecstatic, "Although you and the priest are only meeting for the first time, I have never seen the priest show such tenderness to anyone. And the expression of maintenance—I didn’t know until today that the depth of the relationship between people can sometimes not be judged by the length of time they spend together, such as you and the priest, and, for example... Mr. Wang and I... "Martha lowered her head shyly, her face was flushed and her eyes were moist.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

—Girl, if you remove the last two analogies, maybe I will be happier.

"Mr. Ran, you must understand me, right?" Martha hit Ran Wenyu again.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

"I believe that the priest can empathize with me after seeing Mr. Ran!" Martha said firmly.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

—Okay girl, you win.
