 Chapter 27 Friends of Middle-aged and Elderly Women

  "Sorry, in order to save electricity, I can only take the stairs." The staff member was polite, and Wei Yuan nodded and said it was okay.

  This staff member gave Wei Yuan the feeling that he did not look like an ordinary person, but that he was probably a survivor who had awakened the power of his own bloodline.

  He had not participated in the work before, but had been watching the people outside the window; when Wei Yuan said he wanted to see the old fairy, he stood up as soon as possible. Maybe he was responsible for security or receiving foreign adventurers.

  After this world was eroded by the power of hell, the ancient bloodline in some people appeared.

  For example, those Houyi tribesmen in the camp who are good at bows and crossbows, those Jiuli tribesmen whose muscles are as strong as wild bulls, such as the assassins who are as light as a swallow flying over the wall, such as those warlocks who have awakened "spiritual power/magic power"/ Taoist priests, such as witches/shamans who communicate with the nature of heaven and earth...

  Speaking of which, the old fairy girl who is about to meet is a kind of witch who borrows the power of the five immortal families.

  By now, Wei Yuan was extremely sure of his guess about the world.

  Wei Yuan: The fantasy world previously known as the Monster Wasteland is indeed the first scene of "Diablo 2" - the Blood Wasteland!

  However, what is the origin of the ruins of Huanglong City where the fantasy world merged out of control? Could it really be that the city that had once been destroyed in the original world was fused by the out-of-control illusion world during the period of its destruction? So that this fantasy world has undergone such paradoxical and huge changes?

  Wei Yuan went upstairs while thinking about things, and climbed up to the seventeenth or eighteenth floor in one breath without any trouble.

  The guy who led the way took Wei Yuan to a place similar to a small conference hall, then reached out and knocked on the mottled solid wood door.

  "Come in~" a trembling voice said from afar.

  Just by listening to this weak voice, you can imagine that the owner of the voice is a gray-haired old lady.

  The younger brother opened the door and walked in first.

  "Grandma, this gentleman asks to see you." There was no one in front of him, but the young man still lowered his head and his attitude was very respectful.

  "Hey, okay. I understand, go and do your work~"

  The little brother went out obediently, closing the door behind him.

  There was no one in front of him, so Wei Yuan looked around wantonly.

  This was originally supposed to be a small conference hall or something like that, so the area was quite large. But now it doesn't look empty at all, because there are too many messy things.

  The place seven or eight meters away in front was separated by a big curtain, so you couldn't see what was on the other side, but the old fairy was talking behind the curtain just now.

  On the left side of the door is a row of cabinets like shelves, with all kinds of messy things placed layer by layer.

  Small clay dolls, black stoneware bowls, thick red braided ropes, and small wicker baskets were covered with red cloth, so you couldn't see what they contained...

  Wei Yuan actually saw a man wearing a thin iron chain. Black donkey hooves!

  Are you going to fight upside down with this thing? The old fairy has such a strong body!

  To Wei Yuan's right are two large old-style solid wood wardrobes. The locks and clasps are all made of brass. They were originally painted, but they were so mottled that they were unrecognizable... In short, they looked old.

  Then forward is a very spacious big bed. Although it is impossible to lay out a heated kang in this ten-storey building, at least it is shaped like a heated kang, but it cannot light a fire.

  Opposite the big Kang is a pair of tables and chairs. The table is an old-fashioned solid wood table from the 1970s and 1980s. It is covered with a layer of thick glass. Under the glass are some old photos. There are old-fashioned pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, and there are also pencils and old ballpoint pens in the pen holder.

  There are blessing characters and New Year pictures on the surrounding walls, and there is also a completely incomprehensible yellow talisman on the door frame where Wei Yuan enters. There was even a bunch of red peppers hanging on the wall not far away!

  As soon as Wei Yuan entered the house, he smelled a strong scent of sandalwood... Wei Yuan grew up in a rural area when he was a child, so he was familiar with this phenomenon. This is the result of years of incense burning. This smell cannot be smelled out even after several years of effort.

  All this made Wei Yuan think that he had returned to the countryside where he was a teenager. It was really full of the flavor of the times!

  Just as he was looking around the room, two footsteps appeared from behind the curtain.

  The curtain was opened, and behind it was a hunched old lady and a fair-skinned girl supporting her.

  The old lady was so thin that she looked as if she were skin and bones. Her wrists were only as wide as a mahjong tile.

  The top of her head is silvery white. What is unexpected is that this silver hair is unexpectedly lush. It is braided into a big braid on her head and covered with a black net.

  The old lady's eyes didn't look very good, one eye was lifeless, and the other eye was extremely cloudy. If it weren't for the support and guidance of the girl next to him, it would be really inconvenient to move.

  The girl holding the old lady's arm was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her skin was very white, her eye sockets were deep, her facial features were three-dimensional, and her pupils had a hint of blue. She looked like a mixed race.

  Her black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. She was dressed in a very Chinese style, with a pair of leather boots and a short blade hanging from her waist. She didn't look like an ordinary person.

  When Wei Yuan was looking at the two of them, the old lady had also walked over, and looked closely at Wei Yuan with her somewhat shining eyes.

  "Hey, he's a handsome young man. He's not very old yet!" The old lady couldn't even breathe when she saw the handsome young man. She kept turning to look at the mixed-race girl helping her.

  The girl looked uncomfortable and secretly pushed the old lady's arm. The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking."

  "By the way. What do you call the young man?" she asked.

  Wei Yuan quickly replied: "Back to old fairy girl, my name is Wei Yuan, and I am a card disciple of the Second Academy of Tianyuan City."

  "Oh oh oh, what a pity, what a pity~" Upon hearing that Wei Yuan was a Katu, the old lady looked like she was "blind for nothing".

  "Is this your first time coming to Luoge Camp, young man?" The old lady was helped to sit on a chair.

  "Yes, I heard that the old fairy has teachings for me and other younger generations, so I came here to receive her teachings." "

  Hahaha, you really know how to talk." The old lady opened her mouth in joy, and there were not many teeth left in her mouth.

  This old lady's name is Li Weihong, and she is already 86 this year. There are basically no survivors of her age in Huanglong City.

  The old lady not only gave Wei Yuan two good tasks, but also told him a lot of things to pay attention to in the ruins of Huanglong City.

  In just ten minutes, Wei Yuan felt that he had gained a lot, even more than the information that Billy Zhou had mentioned.

  Before leaving, the old lady actually took out a small scroll tied with a red ribbon from her sleeve and stuffed it into Wei Yuan's hand.

  She pulled Wei Yuan's hand and said kindly: "My cousin Huang Tianling said that this identification scroll is what you need now. Take it, don't tear it up with grandma~ The young man will often come to chat with grandma in the future, this camp In the future, we have to rely on the hard work of you young people!"

  ...

  Wei Yuan was a little confused when he went downstairs, why am I so irritating to the old lady? Could it be that I have a hidden soul card called "Friends of Middle-aged and Older Women"?

  The old lady found Wei Yuan particularly pleasing to the eye.

  The old fairy lady Li Weihong is a typical northeastern old lady. She was very fond of Wei Yuan's appearance and politeness, so she chatted a lot with her.

  The old ladies in Northeast China have different tastes for young men and gentlemen than those of young women. They look down on fresh meat, creamy dogs, and so on.

  He has a Chinese-character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall, has a great body, and is bold and generous... In their eyes, he is a handsome young man.

  Well, so Wei Yuan's ordinary appearance still has an advantage? !

  Moreover, the old lady Li Weihong's family was dedicated to the Five Immortals, and her Immortal Family told her that this young man was very lucky and could do a lot...

  As for his appearance, Yuan Fenghua, who visited two hours later, clearly felt the difference.

  It only took the old lady a minute and a half to send him away, asking him to go to the mission hall to get the tasks.

  This kind of treatment is not as good as the buck-toothed Zhou Yang who looks a bit happy. That guy was so sweet-talking that he even coaxed the old lady for three minutes and got a good task. It was so hard to

  compare with others and throw away goods! Yuan Fenghua screamed angrily and sadly, and the singing in his ears never stopped!

  ...

  After Wei Yuan left, the old lady patted the mixed-race girl's hand and asked: "Ai Xi, what do you think of this young man?"

  The girl became anxious: "Not so good! I won't leave! I'll stay here with you. Grandma."

  The old lady said with a sad face: "Why should you accompany me? Grandma has only a few years to live. Ever since those monsters that deserved the plague appeared, Huanglong City has been separated from the outside world. In these years, I don't know what is going on outside. ...But I have a vague feeling that the immortal family is very pessimistic. This world can't last long! Grandma has only a few days to live well, so she doesn't want to live anymore. You should try to escape as much as possible..."

  The old lady didn't say anything when she saw the mixed-race girl. , said to himself: "I think it's okay, and the immortals are also very optimistic about it, but it still depends on his ability and character..."
