Chapter 581 The Mysterious Duchess
"Let's try to contact it first and see if we can trigger any changes. If not, it's not too late to do it later."
Watching Avis' figure gradually walk away, the duck player finally made up his mind and jumped towards Avis.
They have been here for a while and have a general understanding of how the animal residents here interact with each other on a daily basis.
Unlike the outside world, the small animal residents here are basically not wary and are very enthusiastic towards other strange animals.
As long as he behaves no different from other animals here, there will be no risk of exposure.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Rabbit."
As Avis deliberately slowed down his pace, the duck player named Broken Neck Swan quickly caught up.
"What's the matter, strange duck?"
Hearing its conversation, Avis stopped, turned his head slightly, and stared at it with his pink rabbit eyes.
"I...that..."
For some reason, when being stared at by Avis, Broken Neck Swan suddenly felt his breath slightly choked.
Although it was a bit nonsense, he did sense some kind of illusory "momentum" from the rabbit in front of him, who was dressed in a formal dress and had a serious face.
"...Excuse me, do you need any help?"
Under the invisible mental pressure, the duck forgot all the prepared remarks, and after a long time, he finally came up with a standard player opening line.
"...This idiot duck."
In the distance, the other three players who were "observing in secret" instantly covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch.
"...Thank you for your kindness. If this is your purpose, then I just need a follower now. Come, carry this box for me."
However, Avis did not refuse. Instead, after staring at the duck and thinking for a moment, he directly threw the gold box in his hand to it. He took out an exquisite carved silver cane and walked in front, like a noble traveling with a servant.
That thing is currently his quest item. Players cannot put it in their backpacks, and even Avis himself cannot put it in the space item, so Avis is not worried about whether there will be problems if he throws it to the duck player.
After getting the golden box, the Broken Neck Swan instantly felt a weight in his hand. The box looked small, but it was actually very heavy. Just holding it, the endurance bar on his panel began to slowly decrease.
However, at the same time, a prompt of task completion appeared on his panel, and the next task appeared: [Follow the White Rabbit]
Seeing this, Avis secretly looked in the direction of several other players and found that their panels also had prompts.
The tasks of these players seemed to be the same, which was to obtain the golden pepper, and as long as one person in the team encountered it, it would be considered obtained.
"Okay, follow me now, don't think about being lazy, lazy bones, walk faster!"
With his eyes back, Avis looked at the duck that was barely following behind him and staggering, and directly tapped the base of its webbed feet with a bad look.
As for why Avis suddenly became like this, it was because the white rabbit was this character setting.
And after a while, they were going to meet the so-called "Duchess". Avis hoped to play the role of the white rabbit for the time being, so he prepared to "run in" with his temporary follower in advance.
After being hit by Avis with his cane, the Broken Neck Swan timidly agreed, shrank his neck and quickened his pace, looking submissive.
However, in the team channel of the four players.
"... I take back my previous judgment of this place. This dead rabbit is really annoying. Can I kill it?!"
"Brother Goose, forget it!"
"Be patient, think about the danger level and reward of this task, impulse is the devil."
"..."
Under the persuasion of others, the Broken Neck Swan had to continue to play the role of this follower reluctantly. But soon, he encountered a new problem.
"This won't work. This box is very heavy. My endurance has dropped by half. One of you can come and help me!"
After five minutes of following the lightly equipped Avis with difficulty, the Broken Neck Swan finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Helplessly, the mouse among the four players stood up and also expressed his willingness to follow Avis, so Avis had one more cheap follower.
Then, the mouse took the box from the Broken-Neck Swan, and the latter immediately opened his backpack and took out a broad leaf lettuce and started chewing it.
Due to the extremely low price and the good stamina recovery, using broad leaf lettuce to restore stamina has become very popular among mainstream players.
"I didn't know that you ducks would eat this kind of thing?"
At this time, Avis, who was walking in front, suddenly said indifferently.
"Coincidentally, I heard that the piglets in the Duchess's house also like to eat this."
"..."
The Broken-Neck Swan was furious again, and almost couldn't help but throw the lettuce at Avis.
In short, after a little twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the upper city of the city, a magnificent manor before the pocket watch reached twelve o'clock.
"Oh, dear Mr. Lobet, did you bring what I wanted?"
In the colorful and fairy-tale-filled gorgeous reception room, the graceful Duchess sat on the throne of the main seat and looked at the few "people" below.
Unlike the small animals in the city, she has a completely human appearance, and her aura of strength is very powerful, and she has actually reached the eighth level.
"I have brought it, Madam. Come on, two lazybones! Bring the things to the honorable Duchess!"
Facing the Duchess in the main seat, Avis bowed respectfully, and then he turned to the Duck and Mouse beside him who were tired like dead dogs, and his face changed instantly.
He ordered the two players with great authority, and his posture was extremely natural. It was as if they were not met on the way, but servants he had been using for a long time.
However, the moment he saw the Duchess, Avis's eyes became serious.
He could feel that the dream atmosphere on her was obscure and mixed. Maybe there was nothing wrong on the surface, but the inner essence was slightly inconsistent with this dream.
In other words, she should also be a trialist, and a senior trialist who had experienced quite a lot of dreams and had profound strength.
Why did such a person appear in his trial?
Or was it that his first trial was actually a "large multiplayer copy"?
Watching the duck and the mouse present the box of golden pepper, Avis was thoughtful.
This was definitely not the difficulty of a normal first trial. Only a small part of the main plot of "Fiona's Adventures in Wonderland" had been carried out, and a very powerful senior trialist appeared.
So, if the plot continues, will there be a second, third, or even more trialists?
Why did these people appear here, and will they conflict with him?
While Avis was thinking, the Duchess had already opened the box and picked up a handful of golden pepper that looked like pure gold powder from the box with her fingers.
"A-choo! A-choo!!"
She did not notice Avis's abnormality. At this moment, she brought the gold powder on her fingertips in front of her and sniffed it deeply, and then she was choked and sneezed violently.
"The thing is really good, I am very satisfied, s-and the lesson here is: if you know that something will have a bad impact, don't do it."
After a long time, the Duchess finally recovered from her unique detection method and said with a strong nasal tone.
"However, Mr. Lobet, these two followers of yours seem a little strange, don't they?"
