The incident happened just a while ago. On Duan Qing's way to the Black Magic House, several assassins who had been lying in wait nearby jumped out from the depths of the dark alley again, and then it was like the first time Duan Qing encountered them.
Just like when they attacked, they shouted and blocked him in an alley. Perhaps because the situation gradually entered a critical moment, the assassins who attacked Duan Qing became less and less concerned about hiding their identities, but
Duan Qing, who had been subjected to countless assassination drills, had no patience to tell where they came from, so he chopped them all back one by one with his sword.
Then, an arrow shot from a rooftop far away in the dark alley broke through Duan Qing's field of vision, refreshing his understanding of the game and leaving a deep bloody hole in his left shoulder.
"Fortunately, I reacted a little at that time, otherwise I would have been shot right through my head."
Sitting in the temporary station of the tavern with a grin on his face, Duan Qing whispered to the codeword Ninglan beside him: "This kind of range attack, this kind of strong penetrating power... In previous virtual reality games, at least
It's also at the level of a powerful longbow. In the free world, we don't count those unscientific full-body defenses. I don't have a helmet to wear, so if I'm shot in the head with an arrow... Hey, you should see it earlier than now.
And me."
"Sir, you are suffering." The maid who was bandaging Duan Qing's wounds replied in a low voice: "Do you need Ninglan to travel with you next time?"
"No, he's not a god." Duan Qing endured the pain and waved his hand: "Since the other party chose to show me this move in advance... he must not have planned to kill me with a bow and arrow."
"Sir... already know the other party's identity?"
"Absolutely, although I don't know...whether these guys who have been coming to cause trouble for me are acquainted with the previous NPC killers."
Recalling the figures of those players who have gradually revealed themselves in recent days, Duan Qing replied with a low smile: "If they know about my plan to participate in the Throne War, their goal is probably to not let me participate smoothly.
, if the recovery speed of injuries in the free world is not much faster than in reality, this assassination would be enough to achieve their goal... In the future throne war, they will probably kill me, although all of us are
He is a person who is not afraid of death, but no one can predict the consequences of dying in front of a lot of key NPCs. If it really changes the final outcome..."
"Our efforts for so many days may be in vain."
"Judging from Ninglan's past dealings with them... they are indeed on the side of the restorers."
The maid's hand was still gently wrapped around Duan Qing's shoulders, but the tone of her words became colder and colder: "Since they still dare to appear in front of Mr., then..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand, and then grinned because he had touched the wound: "First, don't worry, we are not really in a situation where the enemy is in hiding, and we are in the clear.
Even if the Restorationists really want to take action in that Throne War, it’s not like we don’t have other reinforcements..."
"Sir, are you referring to...the people from the guild?"
"clever."
Giving a thumbs up to the secret language Ninglan, Duan Qing replied with a smile: "Opportunities are always accompanied by dangers, and dangers are also accompanied by opportunities. As people who have worked hard in the City of Freedom for such a long time, they will not look at it.
Less than this. Since those people are hesitating until now, they don’t know which side can win the final victory, so as long as we reveal some appropriate information to them..."
"They might switch sides to our side."
At the same time, with the same words, in a hidden ruins on the outskirts of Freedom City, several people who looked like players were also discussing the same thing. Sitting among the rocks was a man wearing light green leather armor.
The man then stopped raising his arms, looked around at the other people around him, and then looked at a certain black figure sitting in the corner stroking something with countless secretly watching eyes: "What do you think? Wushuang
?”
"I... have no objection." The player known as Wushuang still lowered his head, as if nothing could draw his attention away from the weapon in his hand: "Everything is up to you."
"...Oh, today's young people are really hard to deal with..."
With a faint sigh, the man in light green leather armor finally gave up communicating with this introverted player, then looked around at the other players and continued his speech: "In short, if we want to achieve our goals
Purpose, necessary force deterrence is indispensable. Since those guilds are still their wallflowers, then we should strike first and let those who know nothing know who has the final say in the Free City.
!”
"But boss..." the player on the side reminded in a low voice: "Didn't today's assassination fail in the end?"
"Ahem... It's not that we didn't succeed, but we almost succeeded." The leather-armored man cleared his throat: "Pay attention to your wording. You are going to do big things in the future. It is also very important to learn how to interact with those NPCs.
Skills, if we don’t exaggerate our own achievements...how can we frighten those more powerful guys?"
"We are all players, so language of this level should be of no use, right?" Another voice from the corner said unceremoniously: "If it were the previous generations of AI technology, this theory might still be justified, but
In this era... the last person who said this was killed by the city lord with a slap in the face."
"...Go, go, go, don't keep trying to undermine me, okay?"
Turning back and waving in the direction of the voice, the leather-armored man changed his embarrassed expression back without any care: "I have practiced my speech all night, so forget it if you don't want to hear it. You are still here now."
Pretending to be busy, you don’t even want to come to the mobilization meeting... Forget it, since you don’t want to hear it, I won’t talk nonsense. As long as we can handle the meeting in two days, this time’s mission... we will complete it.
Already."
"Step up preparations, contact the navy, predict the weather, and... eliminate those unstable factors." The man whispered: "The most important thing is this fourth point. This should be the only place that can cause problems, except for nothing.
Apart from the Lord's Land and the Second World Under Heaven, among the other forces... Mo Shang Qingshan and the others should be the only ones left."
"They have been busy these days, so they must have found a way to participate in that war..." the player who had reminded him behind him murmured in a low voice.
"No matter what they want to do, they must be stopped." The black shadow in the corner said in a deep voice without mercy.
"Leave the task of harassment to us." The man in light green leather armor said loudly, "Isn't that right, Brother Wushuang?"
"No problem." The player stroking the long bow in his hand replied without raising his head: "I'll just follow you."
"So……"
Among the targets that were gradually determined, a silent black figure in the shadow of the ruins finally spoke: "Just follow the original plan, continue to execute the existing steps step by step, and kill all the enemies.
Let those who dare to oppose the restorationists feel..."
"The power of our Knights Templar."
*************************
"Oops, what's going on?"
Some time later, in the Vixis Tavern, a woman with long blue hair walked into the room with a dusty face. Her eyes, which were originally smiling, immediately stopped at Duan Qing, who was wrapped in white cloth.
: "Have you been beaten into a bandage?"
"It's just an arrow. Fortunately, it didn't hit my knee." Pointing to the feather arrow that he threw on the table, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Otherwise, he would probably have to retire and return to his hometown and become a soldier.
They are ordinary guards guarding the station."
"This is... a bow and arrow?"
Ignoring the other party's joke, Xu Yu Liushang grabbed the bloody arrow on the table: "Is this shot by an NPC or a player?"
"It should be the player." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "So..."
"Some people have been able to adapt to the environment of the simulated world and began to use bows and arrows as weapons."
"...What a sad news."
Holding the feather arrow and looking at it for a while, he whispered and sighed: "Magic has a certain tracking ability and range damage, while crossbow arrows have simple operation and good damage effects. Even the crossbow arrows that have appeared in the League Cup
Throwing knives are also a long-range attack method that can be operated by current players, but bows and arrows... When the free world server was launched, it was not that no one had studied how to use this weapon, but due to its super high level,
Difficulty and aiming difficulty, this thing was eventually abandoned by all players."
"After all, this is a virtual reality world where all operations require one's own hands, and the players who come to this world...few of them are professionals who are good at drawing bows." Duan Qing commented with a smile: "Although this kind of operation is
The problems will eventually be solved as time goes by, but I didn’t expect that this first achievement, which can create a new field, would actually come to me first.”
"If it had appeared in the League Cup, I believe the current forum would have exploded already." Xu Yu Liushang smiled and sat opposite Duan Qing: "If that guy could use his own bow and arrow to realize a few more things that he had never discovered before.
Skill……"
"Stop talking, I don't want to face so many powerful enemies." Duan Qing covered his forehead and interrupted the other party: "If they learn from the winged angels in the game Rise of Empires, they form a set of archer recipes.
Formation, those of us who have no resistance will probably be nailed to the ground by random arrows..."
"We don't have any magicians. This is the biggest problem for our team right now." Xu Yu Liushang put down the feather arrow in his hand: "After all, the only ones who can resist long-range attacks are magicians who are good at dealing with long-range targets... Didn't you just get to know each other?
Have you met a magician? Should you consider abducting him back?"
"I don't even know where that Yunmeng is now, how do you want me to find him?" Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "And judging from the current situation, that guy has already started to make an enemy of the world.
The road is getting farther and farther…”
"Hmph... Now that you think about it, do you want to find some more allies?"
He reached out and brushed the long blue hair on his shoulders, and looked at Duan Qing's face with a smile: "When I was arranging tasks a few days ago, I still had a heroic attitude..."
"Okay, okay, I know how good you are." Duan Qing rolled his eyes helplessly: "Is the deal settled?"
"No."
He waved in the direction of the door, and a chattering voice full of mature charm came to the door: "So... I brought him back directly."
"In a safe manner...it's better for you to talk it over yourself."
When the three people in the room gathered their gazes, a player wearing brown leather armor and carrying a long gun walked into the door. His arms, which were a little longer than ordinary people, then swung back and closed the door with the handle.
The movement blocked all the sights coming from outside: "...Nice to meet you."
"You are... from the second coaching team in the world, right?" Duan Qing raised his eyes: "I remember you are called Phoenix Tianwang..."
"it's me."
The man with the spear took two steps forward again and quickly scanned every corner of the room: "The brothers in the club are all busy and don't have time to come and meet the famous Qingshan brother, so I had to send this person.
The most recent idler has come to take on this important task..."
"Those excuses are of no use in front of me, Brother Phoenix."
Before Duan Qing could speak again, Xu Yu Liushang, who was closer to the other party, said unceremoniously: "Now that we are here...can we be more open and honest?"
"……All right."
Showing a wry smile to Duan Qing who didn't understand why, Phoenix Tianwang finally relaxed his serious expression: "The actual situation is... the brothers in the association are not very optimistic about this transaction, so I can only
Came here secretly."
"Isn't it?" Duan Qing looked back and forth between the two people several times: "Are you so dismissive of us? You don't even give Liu Shang the face?"
"This matter is really big. The president and several other members can't come up with any ideas yet. As for the Angry Demon guy... you should be able to guess his attitude." Speaking of the spear here.
The man gestured to Xuyu Liushang next to him: "Miss Liushang is also aware of this situation, so she did not mention the cooperation. However, as a member of the second best person in the world, I think the negotiation with you is still very important.
Necessary."
"We have been paying attention to the movements in the city these days, so... you must have some plans, right?"
He composed his expression, and then looked at Duan Qing's face solemnly: "If it's appropriate..."
"Can you reveal some of your plans and intentions to us first?"
