Chapter 3719 The Clown’s Heart
After learning about the missing knight, Angel prepared to leave.
The main reason was that Bonette was too young and didn't know much information. In addition... the security team had returned with a model of the Green Giant and was about to arrive at the homeless house.
So, Ingres prepared to go back first.
Angel glanced at Bonette, and considering that she was one of the Seven Knights, she should have some untapped "potential". For example, Angel had not yet discovered the side quest she was carrying.
Therefore, Angel decided not to recycle the nightmare node from her body first, but just cleared Bonette's memory of meeting them today.
After doing all this, Ingres took Sisley away.
After walking up the spiral staircase and returning to the main venue of the wandering house, Ingres looked at Sisley.
He was thinking about what to do with Sisley.
Is it like Bonette, erasing his memory? Or is it limited and retained?
Just as Angel was hesitating, he suddenly sensed that the power of fairyland began to emerge from Sisley's body.
Ingres was stunned and looked carefully.
He discovered that... the NPC information profile of Sisley was changing.
Sisley Nicholson
"Sisley Nicholson was once the leader of the most famous "Assisi Circus" in Modern City, but six years ago... he finally came to the underground district."
Up to this point, the NPC introduction is the same as before.
However, the introduction after that began to become blurry and new words appeared.
"After years of twists and turns, with the help of the challenger, he finally learned a secret. It turned out that the child he protected at that time came from a mysterious dark corner. And on the day of the circus incident, the child mysteriously disappeared and returned to the dark corner. After hearing this news, Sisley was desperate. After so many years of persistence, he finally got such a truth..."
"Contacting Sisley Nicholson may trigger the side quest "The Clown's Heart Knot"."
"The Joker's Heart"? Is this a new side quest for Sisley?
Angel was a little surprised. After completing the quest of a specific NPC, other quests would be refreshed? This was quite interesting.
However, Angel noticed that Sisley's changing NPC information and his side quest "The Joker's Knot" were still flashing.
It seems that it may change and disappear at any time.
This is probably... related to the fact that Angel blocked his memory.
If Ingres erased Sisley's memory, it is estimated that this new description would also return to the previous words.
After all, after clearing his memory, Sisley no longer knew the truth about the mysterious child, and he would definitely continue to trace the other party's origins as before.
Maybe, after clearing Sisley's memory, his side quest will be restored to "The Hidden Corner".
"If that's true, then after I clear Sisley's memory, can I repeat Sisley's mission?"
Angel thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. The power of the fairyland should not be able to leave such a loophole.
However, he still...decided to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Angel snapped his fingers.
In just a moment, Sisley's blocked memories disappeared from his mind like flowing water.
As Angel erased Sisley's memory, the NPC information on him was restored to its previous state.
Sisley Nicholson
"Sisley Nicholson is the head of the "Asian Circus". Three years ago, the circus encountered an accident... In order to find the truth, he came to the underground district..."
"Contact Sisley Nicholson and you may trigger the side quest "The Hidden Corner"."
Although Sisley's side quest was still "The Hidden Corner", Ingres found that these words seemed completely gray to him.
This means that he cannot accept this mission.
Angel had originally thought that if he could take on this mission again, he would continue to get the rewards.
Come to think of it, it is unlikely that the power of Wonderland would leave such an obvious bug.
Ingres sighed helplessly, then stretched out his index finger and pointed lightly at Sisley from a distance.
A large amount of information and images flooded into Sisley's mind.
In Sisley's mind, he got a new line of action -
When Sisley was in the Children's House, he received a note from a servant, saying that someone claiming to be an "old friend" wanted to meet him. Sisley was bored, so he went out to meet this "old friend".
After going out, I found out that this fashion magician who called himself Ingres was actually a fan of the Asia Circus... After learning that Sisley was here, he came over to say hello enthusiastically.
After that, there was some greetings.
During the greetings, Sisley learned that Ingres actually had a deep friendship with "Bonette", one of the Seven Knights.
He thought of the day when the circus encountered an accident, and the mysterious child had the mark of the homeless house on his body... In an instant, Sisley made a bold decision and asked Ingres to help ask Bonnet about what happened.
Bonnet happened to be in the homeless house, so Ingres not only agreed, but also went to find Bonnet immediately.
When Angel returned, he brought good news.
It turns out that the child came from a mysterious dark corner...
……
Sisley, who had obtained a "new version" of the memory, was still a little dazed, as if he had not yet fully digested the new memory.
However, Angel didn't care.
He remade a memory, mainly to test it. If he told Sisley the "truth" in the form of a lie, would the NPC information on him change?
Angel stared at Sisley's NPC information.
After a few seconds, the familiar power of fairyland once again lingered around Sisley.
The previous NPC information gradually became blurred, and new NPC information emerged...
Angel looked closely and found that the new NPC information was exactly the same as the "Joker's Knot" version.
"It seems that as long as I tell Sisley the truth, even if the process is a fictional experience, I can complete the task." Ingres thought to himself.
It seems that these side quests in Modern City only matter the results, and the process is not important.
This is very advantageous to Angel, because he has many more ways to complete tasks than other challengers.
The font color of Sisley's new side quest "The Clown's Knot" is normal, which means that Angel can accept this quest.
However, Angel was not quite clear about the prerequisites for accepting this task.
I guess the normal way to access it is still based on favorability.
For the time being, Angel did not study how to trigger the "Joker's Knot". The main reason was that the security personnel who delivered the model were about to arrive and he needed to go back quickly.
He patted Sisley on the shoulder and let Sisley go back to the Children's House by himself.
Sisley nodded, and walked away silently like a zombie.
The air pressure around him was very low, and with his super perception, the emotions around him were so low that it was as if they had fallen into a dark vortex of despair.
Angel didn't have any better solution for this. Either he had to block his memory or forcibly reverse his emotions.
But the comforting effects are only temporary. If you want him to recover, you will probably only be able to complete the task of "The Joker's Knot".
Watching Sisley walking towards the Children's House with a depressed mood, Ingres walked through the crowd and returned to the reception room of Wanzhao Group.
There were only a few security guards in the reception room. When they saw Angel coming back, they didn't ask much questions. They just nodded slightly to him and paid no more attention.
Ingres sat on the sofa, silently waiting for the person to deliver the model.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be here soon.
During this time, Angel looked at the text column.
"Side quest "The Hidden Corner" has been completed."
"Do you want to receive the reward? Yes/No."
Angel originally thought that he could go to the wishing tree to perform a luck-changing ceremony before claiming the reward.
But he thought about it and let it go.
Drawing cards is most likely random, and the luck-changing ritual may play a role.
But the mission reward was set from the beginning, and it would not make any difference whether there was a luck-changing ceremony or not. So, I might as well claim it now.
Thinking of this, Ingres used his eyes to gently nod "yes".
As he clicked, a series of rewards appeared on the text bar interface.
"Congratulations on obtaining a new rumor."
"Congratulations on getting the Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Puzzle Piece (Small)*2"
"Congratulations on getting the Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Puzzle Piece (Medium)*1"
Ingres clicked on them one by one to check.
The first one is the rumor reward, which is the same as the reward for the main mission one. Angel is not unfamiliar with it.
"Rumor has it that in the alley at the east entrance of the Heber Casino, every rainy night, someone would see a woman in red clothes holding an umbrella wandering around."
If nothing unexpected happens, this rumor involves a fashion monster.
However, you have to go to the alley outside the Heber Casino on a rainy night to encounter it, so the timing is quite demanding. It has to rain and it has to be night.
Ingres took a look and then put it out of his mind.
What follows is a series of puzzle pieces.
At first, Ingres didn't quite understand what the puzzle piece was. After reading the instructions carefully, he found that the puzzle piece was very interesting.
"Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Piece (Small): Can be placed in the Fashion Magic Book to replace any Fashion Monster Jigsaw Piece of the Gorgeous Series. Note that this piece only supports low-level Fashion Monsters."
The literal meaning may be a little difficult to understand.
For example, in Ingres’s magic book, page 3 looks like this.
"The Stylish Clown: One of the Fashion Monsters in the Gorgeous Series, he can change the appearance of others at will."
"Current puzzle: 1/2 (Once the puzzle is complete, you can unlock the clown's abilities)"
"The abilities of this clown: 1. Changeable styles (normal); 2. Unknown; 3. Unknown"
Currently half of this page is in black and white, and this page can only be unlocked if Angel gets the clown-shaped puzzle piece again.
Normally, Angel can only complete the challenge task of the clown to obtain the second puzzle piece and unlock this page.
But now, Ingres has obtained the "Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Piece (Small)", and he can directly fill this puzzle piece into the illustration of the clown.
Instantly turn the puzzle from 1/2 to 2/2.
Simply put, a puzzle piece is basically equivalent to a fashion monster challenge.
However, there are limits to the puzzle pieces.
For example, the "Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Piece (Small)" that Ingres obtained can only be used for the "Gorgeous Series" puzzle.
The Stylish Clown is a fashion monster from the Gorgeous Series, and it is possible to use this puzzle.
But if you change to other series, such as the Fashion Monster of the Heat Series, the Fashion Monster of the Softness Series, the Fashion Monster of the Manufacturing Series... you won’t be able to use this puzzle piece.
Moreover, this puzzle piece is not effective for all fashion monsters, it can only be used for fashion monsters of the corresponding level.
For example, Jigsaw Piece (Small) means it can only be used on low-level fashion monsters, while Jigsaw Piece (Medium) can be used on medium-level fashion monsters.
According to this rule, there are probably still puzzle pieces (large) that can be used in the puzzle of high-end fashion monsters.
Angel got three puzzle pieces, two small and one medium, all of which were from the gorgeous series. Overall, it was pretty good.
At least, he can now complete the clown-shaped puzzle.
However, Ingres did not unlock the page of the clown shape... He still planned to disassemble this page and sell it. Once unlocked, the page will be locked and cannot be disassembled.
As for the "Gorgeous Series Jigsaw Piece (Medium)", Angel currently does not have a mid-level Gorgeous Series Fashion Monster, so he can only put it in the text column for now and take it out when needed in the future.
Angel was personally quite satisfied with the reward for this side quest.
Most importantly, when the puzzle pieces appeared, Ingres thought of a possibility.
This time he completed Sisley's side quest, and Sisley's magic book was basically filled with puzzles from the Gorgeous series. Therefore, his side quest rewards were all fragments from the Gorgeous series.
What if... Angel accepted a side quest related to the "Manufacturing Department"?
So are all the rewards puzzle pieces from the manufacturing department?
If you can get the puzzle pieces of the manufacturing department, wouldn't you be able to unlock the puzzle of "Manufacturing Fashion Monster: Fashion Tailor"?
Another purpose of Ingres's visit to the West End this time was to stroll around the tailor area here to see if he could meet a "fashion tailor".
Because only the "Fashion Cutter" has the ability to remove the pages of a book.
Before, if Angel wanted to unlock the "Fashion Tailor" puzzle, he could only rely on luck; but now, he seems to be able to purposefully look for some manufacturing NPCs and accept side quests from them.
At that time, you will be able to directly reward the puzzle pieces of the manufacturing department.
Although luck also plays a role in this, it is definitely more reliable than relying solely on luck.
The only pity is that these puzzle pieces are all "virtual rewards" and are placed in the text column. Otherwise, Angle could have sold the puzzle pieces directly instead of dismantling the pages, and probably earned a lot of Modern Coins...
