Unlike Redcar's bustling nights, Tania's nights are always filled with tranquility and dullness. This is not only because of the martial law that has been implemented in the city recently, but also because of the hundreds of years of history in this main city.
The historical legacy and living habits of the past - ever since the city of Tania was located in this place, the people here seem to have been living in a state of vigilance and uneasiness, whether it is threats from outside the city or threats from various forces within the city.
The strife has prevented them from enjoying the peace here for a long time, and enjoying the ordinary life that city people should have. Since no big family can survive in such an environment for a long time, things like going out at night will naturally
It is not suitable to appear in the lives of civilians and in every corner of the city that has been shrouded in darkness, because this moment is not only the best time of the day when no one can easily find it, but it is also the time to deal with problems that are difficult to put on the table.
Perfect timing.
Ordinary people would never like to be involved in such a thing.
The streets of Tania were extremely quiet in the middle of the night. It was hard to hear even the sound of the wind. Only the magic lights flashed from time to time, bringing a bit of light to the area in their own way. However,
Even so, there are still people passing by on the streets here. It is because they cannot truly die that they have become the boldest players in the world. In addition to being rejected by the world and their own uncontrollable fear
, they may not be afraid of any other way to threaten themselves. Even in the confrontation between the two countries, they are the most suitable mercenaries to go through life and death, not to mention walking on such a night road in such a late night. They are in twos and threes
There are groups of men and women, some shaking their heads as if they are drunk, some holding hands as if they have just finished enjoying themselves, enjoying the infinite fun brought by this game world, while quietly playing
It has brought slight changes to the atmosphere of this city that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It seems that the city's disturbingly quiet streets and the rumbling noise that have been going on for a long time are insignificant to them. The only thing worthy of their attention may be
Some city guards were looking at them with vigilant eyes, as well as the adventurers who were still wandering around outside so late at night.
The people who are still wandering around the city at this time are either idle players who have gone too far, or some speculators with ill intentions who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.
"Hey, if I hadn't happened to encounter the Sword of Justice..."
He threw down the wine bottle in his hand bitterly. A player carrying a large shield spit out the breath of alcohol bitterly, then turned around and shouted loudly at the teammates who were behind him, not caring at all that they were also
They were too drunk to walk, and the gazes of several guards nearby were patrolling them. He stayed there and waited for a while, and finally took a few steps back impatiently, and then walked back in the almost deserted night.
On the way, he slapped the bodies of several other teammates who were wandering around: "Let's go, let's go, we have to go watch the game..."
"Come on, Mr. Babao, why are you going to watch the game?" A teammate who sat on the ground shook his head and said, "It's just to add to the sadness..."
"That's right, instead of wasting time on those things, it's better to do something else." Another teammate lying in the corner raised his hands, and his tongue, which had been numbed by alcohol, seemed to be unable to straighten.
: "It just so happens... I still have a mission for the ruins of Eta. Why don't we go... clean it up and go over there."
"I agree!" Before the big shield player could reply, a player's voice shouted at the top of his lungs on the ground behind them: "Let's... let's go out now!"
"Stop, stop making trouble, aren't you asking for death if you go out of the city now?" The teammate who was the first to answer laughed: "Tanya looks like this, she can't go out at night..."
"Then, then tomorrow!" The player lying on the ground panting in the distance then shouted: "Let's leave early in the morning and never stay in this place again..."
"Okay, this is yours!"
"What's wrong with me? Didn't I forget what I said?"
"Hey, you still dare to say this, you gave me back the two-handed sword last time for fun...what now?"
"It was taken away by a bird..."
"What are you!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The big shield warrior standing swaying at the front hurriedly raised his hands to stop the endless argument that his companions were about to start: "If we argue again, we really can't go back. It doesn't matter if you don't want to watch the game, but life has to pass.
Go down, there are hundreds of brothers in our imperial city, so we can change places wherever we can..."
"Hey, if you don't want to come with us... just get out of here!" The player lying in the corner pointed toward the night sky: "I don't usually train well, nor participate in activities. In the end, I didn't even drink together.
Come on, what do we need these members for..."
"Then you can't blame them. It's a good celebration drink, but they drank it on the first day... I wouldn't come if you wanted me to." The person sitting next to him tugged at the corner of his mouth bitterly, and then lay down on the cold bed.
On the ground: "But... this is not bad. It can just eliminate those members who are not cohesive. Aren't the remaining members all hardcore members? Yes, this is also the case in normal guild exhibition history.
A routine, right? Maybe we can become a first-class guild like those inside..."
"So... you also agree to move to Eta County?" The big shield warrior standing at the front with his back to the street shook his head, but he was slightly sober from the wine: "Is this time?"
"Actually, I was opposed to it at the beginning."
A player who looked like a mage who didn't seem to be drinking and who was guarding the back of the team slowly walked forward, first glanced at the figures of several staggering players around him, and then said calmly: "But the current situation, go
The east side is not a bad thing, at least we can avoid the threat of the empire, if the principality really..."
He looked at the patrolling guards not far away who were staring at the few people on his side, and swallowed back the words he originally wanted to say: "In short, don't look at it as prosperous as Tania, our exhibition space over there...
It must be bigger than here."
"Who allowed us to encounter the Sword of Justice in the first round?"
With a helpless sigh, the Shield player gestured towards the opponent, then walked to his fallen teammates in two steps, and lifted them up with force: "The individual competition has no results as always, and the team competition that was originally expected has also failed.
Without a reputation, there is no hope of competing with a big guild like Sword of Justice... Let's go, get up! Old mage, go and take the one behind..."
"I only have six powers. If you can't stand it, don't blame me..."
"Then just drag them away. There aren't many people on the street anyway. If you can't trample them to death, you won't be afraid of embarrassment..."
After passing the sight of several guards and turning two streets, several Imperial City players were walking on the streets at night as if there was no one around, as if they were really planning to find a place to rest and settle their companions.
Babaojun, who had two players on his left and right, dragged his companion while continuing to chat wordlessly with the mage player behind who was not drinking. The topics related to the game gradually dropped and started to
They seriously studied the possibility of relocating the guild. Once again, a heavy figure stretched in front of them. Several people once again passed through a certain intersection illuminated by street lights, and then the big shield player suddenly appeared.
Amid doubts, they all stopped in their tracks: "Huh?"
"It's not a problem to save the equipment and property. The worst thing is to sell them and exchange them for gold coins, and then go to Eta County to buy them at a lower price. The key is our personnel... What's wrong?"
Amid the inquiries from the mage player, the two-person shield player slowly put down his companions and looked at what looked like a black figure of a certain player standing at the door of a certain building. Bright white lights
The black figure emerged from the door of the building facing the door, illuminating the backs of the two guards guarding the door. However, perhaps due to the angle, the Shield player could not clearly see the expressions on the faces of the two men.
, and the appearance of the player who seemed to be confronting them. In the tall body and the elongated shadow, the person standing with arms folded stood motionless, as if waiting for something, but seeing them
When several people arrived, the figure carrying a long knife turned back to look at the situation here, and then disappeared in front of them in a flash.
"Huh?" The mage player behind wiped his eyes, and then looked at the two guards who were still motionless: "There was... someone there just now, right?"
"……yes."
The drunkenness in his mind completely disappeared. The shield player hurriedly threw the mud-like bodies of his two companions to the side, and touched his weapon with his right hand. However, after a moment, nothing happened around the quiet street.
It wasn't until the mage player named Old Mage slowly approached that he slightly let go of his hunched-over vigilance posture: "What's wrong with you, are you so nervous?"
"Nothing." The Shield player patted his shoulder: "I thought I was being robbed..."
"Robbery? In the city?" The mage player screamed: "How is it possible? That guy just now is a player, right? Last time, the people from the so-and-so guild were expelled from the Adventurer Association. Isn't it enough? There are still people who dare to
To do something like this..."
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding." The man with the big shield shook his head and stood up straight: "Although I didn't see the person's name and appearance clearly, but..."
He turned around and looked over the mage player's shoulder to the intersection he just passed behind: "In this tense situation, no one should..."
He closed his mouth, and then, together with the mage player, he watched several players who also stumbled appeared from the other side of the intersection, and then, with the same drunkenness and shouting, followed the direction they came from.
Walked back. They seemed to be relieved at the same time. They both nodded. The old mage looked at the scene around the intersection again, and breathed out a comforting breath: "It's okay, there are rivers and lakes and the sword of justice."
Now, Tania should be fairly stable now, and the players are not stupid either. There are so many guards around here watching..."
The words suddenly disappeared from his mouth, accompanied by the suddenly startled eyes of his companions: "You are so..."
"Why aren't there any guards around here?"
Bang!
A huge muffled sound suddenly sounded behind them. The two of them subconsciously set up their weapons and staffs at the same time. They moved skillfully one after another to block the front of their fallen companion at the intersection, and then looked at
Looking at the door of the building with bright lights not far away, the two guards who had been awakened took out their spears and ran towards the door. There was the faint sound of fighting, followed by the inside of the building.
, came from a certain direction on the third floor, and the two players standing here can still hear the shouts from the crowd inside from that direction and from the shining white door.
"It's a killer!"
"Stop him quickly!"
"No. 1, No. 2, guard the door! Don't..."
"There is another assassin! He ran away from the building!"
"He went to the second floor, where are the people from the second team!"
"No, we lost track..."
The sound of loud shouts and disorderly footsteps echoed around the building, like a piece of music played by a three-year-old child, ringing in the ears of the two people, making the two people's doubts become more intense at the same time.
, also completely broke the tranquility of the entire intersection, making this area completely lively. After looking at each other for a while, the big shield player named Babaojun and the mage player slowly backed away, and then passed by their companions.
He kicked them a few times: "Something happened, something happened, get up quickly...Old Master, give them a pot of water."
"...Won't it cause misunderstanding?"
"...Damn, get up!" Giving up the idea of letting his teammates use magic, the man with the big shield was alert to nearby movements. His patrolling eyes circled around the boiling building, and then suddenly stopped at the shadow in the corner.
Here, on the black figure who was carrying a big knife.
"This is not the one just now..."
Bang!
Another huge muffled sound appeared inside the building, but with the sound this time, all the white lights that were scattered around and even emitted from the door were extinguished, bringing the entire building into a state of confusion.
In the still dark situation outside: "What's going on!"
"Where's the backup light source? Start it quickly!"
"Pay attention to your position! Don't leave your position!"
"I saw him! He returned to the third floor! You..."
"ah--!"
As several screams rang out, the old mage's face turned paler. He tugged on the shield player's armor and asked cautiously: "What, what should we do? Should we... or...
"
He shook his companion's body again, and then followed the other person's staring gaze and looked in the direction he was looking at - in the dark night, the black figure with the sign of a broadsword walked towards the place in three or two steps.
The corner of the dark building, and then suddenly jumped up to the side window, like a civet cat, climbed to the top of the building in a few clicks. It seemed that he was not afraid of the height that made his feet weak at all.
The dark figure leaned against the window and listened for a while, then clapped his hands, smashed the two wooden fences beside the window, and jumped into the building.
"It seems that something big has happened." Mr. Babao's eyes cleared, and he exchanged a look with his fellow mage. Then, while looking around at the surroundings, he walked to the side of the building with a low waist: "
It seems to be a hospital... Let’s go.”
"Since some players have joined in, let's go in and take a look."
