As the city lord's residence, this two-story dome building with a front yard and back yard, with an ancient Roman style is far more magnificent and majestic than the ordinary buildings in the snowy city! In this city known as the country of ice, the building has become crystal clear and crystal clear under the cold and low temperatures for many years. Even the most devastating thieves' union still has extraordinary charm under the illumination of magic lights in the night! Not to mention the magnificent, majestic building with a slightly ancient charm and aristocratic flavor in the city lord's residence.

Xiao Hua had seen the destruction of the thief union, but before he could see Yili of the city lord's official residence. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Hua was immediately stabbed by the strong and dazzling magic light outside the city lord's official residence. After staying accustomed to the magic lights that were much brighter than other parts of the city, Xiao Hua looked at the city lord's official residence, which was only two floors.

Under the dark night sky, accompanied by strong magic lights, this Romanesque building, which is only two-story high, looks extremely majestic. Even if Xiao Hua has been to the official residence of the White Tiger Main City, which is far taller than the building in front of him, he is still shocked. The building in front of him has a gorgeous and dazzling feeling that even the tallest building is incomparable!

There were two silver swordsmen on the door of the official residence, and players with PK values ​​were prohibited from entering, but ordinary people were unblocked to pass. After a brief loss of consciousness, Xiao Hua walked in quickly.

Walking into the front hall on the first floor of the official residence, the lobby is the office for selling houses. But at this time, the wide hall was quiet, and there was only a thin old man wearing a black magic robe sitting behind a quaint wooden square table.

This old man is the security affairs officer of Piaoxue City and the great water magician. Reit noticed someone coming in, raised his head and looked at Xiao Hua.

"I want to buy a house in the city." Xiao Hua saw that he was an old man, so he directly explained his purpose. As far as he knew, there were two security officials in Piaoxue City, one man and one woman. Today it happened to be a man. If it was a woman, he also wanted to try to use the title of "Open Books" to the female charm +5 attribute to see if there would be unexpected benefits.

However, Xiao Hua did not have expectations for this idea. After the incident of the Thieves Union, Xiao Hua realized that it was only 5 points of charm. There was no chance to trigger the task when facing higher NPCs. The only advantage was that buying goods from the female NPCs in the system could be less expensive. However, buying a house is different from buying and selling in the system store. No matter how charming it is, you will not be discounted.

"Please wait." The magician Leth nodded expressionlessly and pulled out a scroll from the pile of sheepskin documents beside him. The scroll was untied and spread on the wooden table. After a rough look, it was not difficult to see that this was a magic map made of sheepskin.

Reit chanted a spell slightly, and then waved the old magic wooden stick in his hand, and a sky blue crystal water vapor floated on the table. The water vapor quickly disappeared, but the magic map on the table seemed to have come alive and began to become uneven. In the blink of an eye, tiny house models formed. If you are familiar with Piaoxue City, you can recognize it immediately. This is a Piaoxue City that has been reduced by hundreds of times!

Although I had heard of this for a long time, Xiao Hua still found it very magical. The old man used something that water-based magic, which actually had such a magical effect.

The shape of the house model on the map is exactly the same as the real house in Piaoxue City. The only difference is that the houses of the model are marked with different colors.

"Black marks are absolutely unselectable places, and red places are already inhabited. If you like and that person is willing to sell, you can pay a certain fee to live there. Green marks are empty houses, you can choose whatever you want." Reit's thin and explicit finger pointed at the model hut of various colors on the magic map and explained.

"What about the gray place?" Xiao Hua asked, pointing to the dozens of places in the map, not any of the above three colors, but gray-white houses.

"That's where the missing citizens once lived." A hint of sensation appeared on Ret's wooden wrinkled face.

"Citizens are missing?"

"Yes, in the past few years, residents have disappeared one after another in the city. Under the order of the city lord, all the security teams in the city have been dispatched to investigate, but they still cannot find any missing residents. As a security officer, this is my dereliction of duty!" Reit said with regret.

"Sir, I wonder if I can help you in this matter?" The dialogue reached this point, and everything went on as Xiao Hua knew. Xiao Hua seized the opportunity to talk as he knew.

"Of course. We welcome anyone who may help us. If you can solve the mystery of the disappearance of residents, the city lord and I will definitely repay you!" The old magician Letter showed a kind and gratifying smile, but his eyes that lost their luster still felt strange even when they smiled.

System prompt: Do you accept the task of "missed citizens"?

Of course, Xiao Hua would not hesitate to take on the task.

Missing Citizens: In the past few years, there have been dozens of bizarre disappearances in Piaoxuecheng. Find out the reasons for the disappearance of citizens and solve the incident. You will receive a lot of rewards!

Task difficulty: Level A! Tasks can be shared, but they can be shared with up to five people. It is recommended to complete them in a team!

After successfully receiving the task, Xiao Hua smiled. When he was traveling in the forum before, he thought that after getting the money from the auction token, he wanted to buy a house. He checked the purchase process in the forum, and then unexpectedly saw the specific steps of how to receive the task of "missing citizen". Now, following the steps mentioned in the post, he has really received the task!

The task of "missing citizen" first appeared half a year ago. In Piaoxue City, a very flexible player thought the color of the house model was strange when buying a house, and then triggered the task. But he took the task alone for a long time and still had no idea. He had no choice but to share the task with others. As a result, the task triggering method spread like this.

A level A mission was released at the City Lord’s residence, and the mission rewards can be imagined. Countless people flocked to the City Lord’s residence to take on the mission. After so many people took on the mission, more than ten days later, but none of them made any progress in the task.

Then a player was curious and after buying a gray-marked house, the task finally changed, but it was not progress, but the task failed! After buying the house, the person lived in the house for one night, but somehow he was hung up in the house. When he was resurrected, the task failed. After half an hour, the task was automatically deleted and he could not be picked up again!

As a breakthrough, this incident was proposed after research by a certain player. If you want to continue with the next task, you must buy a gray house!

But someone immediately stood up to object and put forward another opinion, believing that the system cannot do such an unfair task. Judging from the powerful openness of the Second World, this is an open task with multiple solutions. Rich players can certainly buy gray houses to take the next step, but ordinary players can also take the next step through some means or trigger an event.

Compared with the first player's statement, the second person's statement is more acceptable, but unfortunately, since the emergence of the mission, no one has found a normal task breakthrough. Those who want to complete this task can only enter the next step by purchasing a gray house.

As a last resort, a very small number of players who are rich and want to get rewards for rare items spent one million to buy a gray house. As a result, they found that no matter how many people appeared in the room, they would be inexplicably hung up after not long!

By entering the next task step in this way, everyone knows that gray rooms are the key to the task, but the problem is that no one can survive in the room! Ten players in Piaoxue City purchased gray houses and failed the task, no one is willing to give 500,000 yuan to the system for nothing. The task of "missing citizens" has become one of the tasks that players have no solution to at present.

When Xiao Hua saw this interesting task, he felt that he had false skills and seemed to be able to fight, so he wanted to take it and try it. If he failed, he would only lose 500,000 yuan. The house could still be used after the task failed. For him, the loss was not great. But what if he lost his luck? Xiao Hua is still worried about the high rewards of the random world task ring during the internal test. Unfortunately, it was a random task. In theory, the probability of being encountered again was infinitely close to zero, so since there was a high reward task in front of him, he had to let it go no matter what!

However, even if he has a false image, Xiao Hua felt that this task should not be completed by him alone. However, this task must be taken after the purchase of a house, otherwise it will not be accepted anymore. So Xiao Hua planned to hang it on his body next time. Anyway, there is no time limit for the task.

"Sir, I want to buy that house, can I ask?" Xiao Hua pointed to a remote gray house northeast of Piaoxue City.

"According to the law of the Allen Continent, the city lord has the right to dispose of property that has disappeared without relatives, but our city lord does not advocate this law and has never dispose of houses of missing citizens. As a member of the Allen Continent, you have the right to purchase this house, but the city lord has also stipulated that the buyer must spend twice the price as an additional compensation if the resident returns."

Xiao Hua nodded, handed over the gold coins happily, and obtained ownership of the house.

After leaving the official residence, Xiao Hua did not mean to see the house he just bought. He didn't have to use the room before he completed or failed. After calling a carriage, Xiao Hua walked towards another famous building in the city.
