"Have you heard that there seems to be a sudden change in Hulan Mountain recently?"

"Mutation? What mutation? Is there another large-scale regional mission coming?"

"How do I know? I don't have that ability. I just had something to do and wanted to go offline, but I saw it on the Internet... What do you want to do? You don't want to leave for Star Wind Plains now, do you? Over there

The road hasn’t been opened yet.”

"So what if there is no road? Just because we are always sitting in the tavern, we can only be unscrupulous skirmishers! Do you also want to become a bad guild like the Fool Adventure Group? Follow me

!”

The changes in the world process promoted by Duan Qing and his team seemed to have not only attracted the attention of Violet. The flow of information from the player camp also demonstrated extreme efficiency in this special period when the competition was about to start.

This change soon spread all over the country in their own way. Based on their own experience summaries accumulated from a series of previous events that occurred in the free world, many players also regarded changes in energy surges as

The operation is a sign of the occurrence of large-scale plot events. Guild organizations that have benefited from the influence and changes of such events have early used this sign as a clarion call to charge, leading countless players into the battlefield at the first time.

I hope I can participate in the plot and story before it ends.

Of course, there are also many players who think that they cannot get such a dream-like opportunity, so most of them will choose to stop and watch, or treat the spread of such news as something to talk about in their free time.

"Have you heard of it? Those people just now——"

"Are you talking about Little Alpaca and Ghostface? I know about that. There was another commotion in the southwest of Liberty City, but it was not as loud as before at the Endless Bridge... Hey, I don't want to

Like them, they want to daydream every day! How can ordinary players like us get this kind of thing? Throughout the various development histories of the free world since the opening of the server, the promotion of large-scale plots has never lacked the shadow of those guild clubs.

!How can we people be allowed to get a piece of the pie?”

"But isn't it said that the series of events that happened in this city were all done by 'him' alone? Recently, there are rumors that he wants to return to the world, and I heard that he has not joined any guilds..."

"Can that man be compared with us? He can beat a club by himself! If I had his strength, I would be able to pick up treasures wherever I go! There is such a saying as 'the strong will make themselves stronger'."

That’s the reason!”

Another blow from the sky.

I couldn't help but read this sentence in my heart. A figure in black sitting in the tavern lowered his head silently, and the curved corners of his mouth disappeared into the shadows in the surrounding noise.

Inside, his attempt to be as unobtrusive as possible was somewhat undermined by the smiling bartender across the bar: "Um... this guest, haven't you decided what you want to drink yet?"

"..."

Still not planning to speak out, the black figure pulling on the inner edge of the hood pointed at one of the countless cups in front of him. The bartender glanced in that direction and then nodded with some enlightenment, turning around in preparation.

Disappeared behind the bar. With the disappearance of this abnormality, the surrounding movement returned to its previous appearance. Several players and drinkers sitting nearby also shifted their gazes to their respective positions.

The somewhat suspicious eyes also followed the figure, which did not show any ID or name above its head, and disappeared in the low conversation between them: "Forget it, another one who doesn't know where he came from.

The mysterious guy.”

"It turns out that there were people who squatted in the tavern to guard such mysterious people. What were those people called? Porcelain Party? Anyway, they were professional NPCs who used all kinds of methods to find hidden missions. .”

"After the last complaint to the Mages Council, there are no such people in this city. Otherwise, if the reputation is reduced, who can bear the penalty of not being able to climb the Sky City?"

"I don't know who went over to complain. Although we will not harass these NPCs, we still need to get information from them. Otherwise, what is the use of this tavern?"

"You can go to the Free City to inquire. Anyway, the magic teleportation arrays have been established in various places. You can be there in an instant. However, whether you can inquire about the information in that city's tavern depends on your ability."

"If I could survive there, why would I go to this small city? There are many more ghosts, ghosts, and snakes in that city than here! Didn't the Snow Spirit Magic Ice display on the city lord's mansion a while ago? In the arena, I wouldn’t dare to do it in my place.”

"Speaking of that incident, I heard that the arena has been demolished. It seems that someone did not follow the rules and attacked Xue Ling Huan Bing when no one noticed. The second largest person in the world who is responsible for maintaining order is furious, and the victim is He left his last challenge letter and then disappeared."

"Same as last time, this time she also recorded a magic video. Do you want to check it out online?"

How to transfer the images recorded by magic in the free world to the real world network - before the spread of this server-wide challenge provoked by Xueling Huanbing, this problem did not even attract anyone's attention. After the public opinion stirred up the appetite by "What does she want to do? How long can she last?" After the public opinion was completely aroused, someone discovered the technical problems that had not been solved for a long time since the launch of the free world. But before those Senior players and professional masters have figured out the secrets, and Xueling Huanbing, who defeated countless challengers with a arrogant attitude, left undefeated, leaving only countless people who were disappointed with this sudden departure. Suspicions, and inquiries into the last message she left - in the scene of several players sitting in another corner of the tavern, drinking and mingling, one of the players who had just come online was also happily describing something at this time, While he was being drunk, he was enjoying the unique look of admiration when he released the first-hand information he had mastered to the world. However, before he could fully describe the details of the second magic image, a voice came from across the wine table. Another player wearing an iron helmet interrupted this high-level talk with a disdainful snort. It is not clear whether he was disdainful of the other party using this method to gain attention, or because the other party was being attracted by him at this time. The girlfriend player beside her stared at her jealously with wide eyes: "Stop bragging! I think it was the woman who lost the last battle, so she left the field in despair!"

"The final result was confirmed by the official announcement of No. 2 in the world. Do you want to question the authority of No. 2 in the world?" The process of pretending to be interrupted by others using such a tone, the player who was speaking naturally also suppressed his blushes. He made a face: "Besides, if someone really defeated the woman with the '400 consecutive wins', why hasn't he shown up to publicize it yet, but has been hiding his identity?"

"It's three hundred and eighty-three, not four hundred." His girlfriend looked at him with a complaining look, and the man in the iron helmet corrected the other party's number in a more blunt tone: "Isn't the problem of not publishing the name simple?

Afraid of embarrassment! Both Xue Ling Huan Bing and the second best person in the world want to hype up this incident. If someone comes forward to destroy this arena, they must be the most unhappy people! It is natural to deliberately hide the truth.

It’s not a big deal…”

"Let's not talk about whether this set of excuses you made up will pass the discernment of the players present - you actually dare to say such things. Don't you have a grudge against the second best person in the world? Aren't you afraid that they will come after you?"

"What are you afraid of? This is the City in the Sky! Even in the guild, Wizard has the final say! I have never heard of Wizard's people fighting against the second best person in the world. When Wizard does things, the world

When will the second best person dare to make irresponsible remarks?"

"What does No. 2 Under Heaven and Wizard have to do with a three-legged cat like you? And the last challenge letter left by Xue Ling Huan Bing must be true, right? I have never heard of when the Dark Witch joined

In other guilds, it is impossible for someone like her to join others..." Gu

"That's right, a heroine like Xue Ling Huan Bing won't condescend to others! Ah Xing, you must be mistaken!"

"Shut up! She must be either deflated or seriously injured! Otherwise, why didn't she continue the beating instead of leaving a letter like this, which specifically mentioned that she wanted to move to a different place?"

"……guest."

The sudden sound in his ears interrupted his thoughts of listening. The black figure sitting on the edge of the bar suddenly raised his head. The bartender who caught his eye now had a smile on his face and poured out a cup.

A chilly blue cocktail was pushed in front of me: "The 'Frozen Night' you ordered."

"……Thanks."

Speaking for the first time since arriving here, the black shadow spoke in a low and charming female voice: "This is a tip."

"The guest is so generous." Without being too entangled in the identity and gender of the other party, the smiling bartender reached out and skillfully collected the money bag handed out by the shadow: "In the Sky City, most cocktails are made with adulteration.

Due to the power of magic, the temperature of this glass of wine is lower, I hope this guest doesn’t mind.”

"I know." He nodded in response, and a few strands of silver light were faintly emitted from the hood of the black shadow's slightly raised head: "When we were in the Free City, no bartender would go out of his way to explain this. It seems that you guys

The people here are really polite.”

"Is the guest from Liberty City?" Already accustomed to this kind of comment, the bartender still maintained the smile on his face: "The atmosphere in Liberty City is really not the same as the atmosphere here.

Same, I hope the friendliness here will make you like it even more.”

"Friendly?" Looking back at the two groups of players who were still arguing in the corner, Black Shadow pinched the goblet in front of him with an elegant gesture: "Maybe, but each has its own benefits."

"It seems that this guest has also experienced a lot." The bartender replied in a low voice: "The adventurers here have been discussing these topics recently, and the topic belonging to Miss Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice is particularly intense. However,

Not all adventurers who know this news will be happy and curious about the news."

"..."

He fell into silence again, and the figure hidden under the hood just sipped the cold wine silently, until more and more people came in and out of the tavern, and when the bartender turned his smile to a new customer,

She quietly stood up and left the place: "...It seems that he guessed it right this time."

The city in the sky above the clouds is also bathed in the moonlight at night. The stars and the bright moon dotted in the night sky also cast a hazy outline above the brightly lit city.

, the mysterious black figure, still holding his hood, used this method to resist the strong wind that blew over the city from time to time. After a while, he slowly walked towards the center of the city with his own words: "I am the one who wants me."

Going to the most densely populated place...are you afraid that I will be discovered late by others?"

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?" Then a low buzzing sound sounded in her arms: "I'm done here, and I'm heading to the next area - where are you?"

"Also heading to the next area."

Saying the same words as the other party, the mysterious black shadow walked slowly around the recently renovated classical streets of the Sky City: "It seems very peaceful here, so it should be much smoother than in the Free City.

.”

"After all, it's not our territory, so let's seize the time and continue to arrange it." The voice in his arms seemed to answer in a hurry: "My cheap tutor should also have got the news that my place is over, and I don't know that she is now with me.

How was the conversation with your other mentor - you haven’t met him yet, have you?”

"How is it possible? You don't even let anyone take a break?"

He said this half angrily and half helplessly, but a smile appeared on the corner of the mysterious black figure's mouth again: "But I think even if I meet him, the plan will not make any progress."

"I've already said it, just tell me my name." The voice on the other end of the communication sounded much more confident: "Even if this unscrupulous disciple like me hasn't gone back to visit him for ten thousand years, he should still put it in his mind."

My reputation and friendliness will be attributed to you for the time being, but if that doesn't work - I'll ask my cheap tutor to help."

"Are you sure it won't be counterproductive?" Heiying answered with a helpless smile in his voice: "Even if we don't consider the competitive relationship between the two of them, if the identity and status I understand are correct,

If so, there should have been some resentment between the two of them in the past, right?"

"That little thing is nothing, especially in such a critical period. Besides, the Lord of Violet is much smarter than the Lord of Magic. I don't believe you can-"

"Okay, okay, I won't listen to your nonsense anymore."

The voice casually interrupted the other party's words, and the slowly pacing black figure finally stopped at the door of the magnificent emerald hall near the city's central square.

"I've already arrived."
