Haha, haha, finally... finally ran out..."

At dusk on Earth month 0, 796 in the New Calendar, on the outskirts of Tbilisi Castle in the Frey Empire, several hurried black figures broke away from the army of players who were constantly running back and forth, and hid in the fields not far from the south city gate.

"They, they won't catch up, right?"

"Whether they will continue to catch up... depends on how powerful the enemy in your guild is."

Kicking away a rock at his feet, the thief named Salty Fish King looked back at the small castle-like city he had just walked out of with his hands behind his back: "Judging from the conversation they just had with the local city guards.

..That person from the animal tribe must have been operating in Thebilis for some time."

"Is the flame dragon beast really so miserable?" Then the top boy's expression also became disappointed: "I thought I could find a few companions to form a team together, but now..."

"Anyway, after what happened, the Castle of Thebilis will never be able to return."

Shaking his head slightly, the Salted Fish King then turned around with a calm face: "The guards will probably remember our appearance. I'm afraid we will be in trouble again next time, but... hmph

."

He thought for a while, but in the end he still didn't continue what he wanted to say: "You...should have other opportunities. After all, according to you, Flamedramon still has other teammates in other places. As long as he can

Find them in another city..."

"Really, really?" The top boy raised his head expectantly: "It won't be like today again?"

"...I can't guarantee that." The Salted Fish King replied helplessly: "But...one thing should not change."

"As long as you become strong enough, you will never be bullied like today."

He patted the other party's shoulder, and the words he left behind were like the cold wind that had not yet disappeared from the spring air. The little thief who was blown by this wind then lowered his face and looked slightly lonely, and finally

Still nodded slightly. The sound of wheat waves blown by the real wind then kept ringing in their ears, adding a bit of warmth to the coldness that the dusk was about to bring. They kept their mouths closed for a long time without speaking again.

The Salted Fish King who answered finally gave up his intention to encourage the other party and turned to the magician behind him and asked: "Then...it's your turn."

"What are you going to do in the future, Linyuan Shuishui?"

"Uh...I should be fine, right?"

Waving his hand in some panic, the magician known as Linyuan Duanshui replied with a dry smile: "I'm just a passerby, an unlucky guy who always gets involved in unreasonable disasters..."

"You have appeared on such occasions twice, and now you have been carried out together by us... You are no longer an irrelevant person no matter how you say it." The Salted Fish King shook his head and replied: "For the sake of your future gaming experience,

I kindly advise you: don't go back to the castle again, because those people from the beast tribe will definitely come to trouble you."

"That, that...hahahaha." Then the magician who was still covering the wound on his shoulder let out an embarrassing laugh: "Is it so exaggerated? I am only a novice who is less than level ten...

."

"Oh... forget it if you don't believe it."

As if he had no need to persuade this novice player who was even duller than the top boy, the Salted Fish King turned his head indifferently: "Since there is no other place to go... let's just go back to Redcar."

?"

"Lei, Redcar?" The top boy pointed at his nose and asked, "Are you really going to that place? The capital of the empire?"

"What, what's the problem?"

"Yes, there are people from some tribe who are chasing me. My strength is still so weak. If I go to a place with deeper water, I'm afraid it will only bring you more trouble..."

"Since I agree to let you hang out with me, I will naturally not abandon you. As for the troubles you mentioned... huh, they are nothing in front of me."

"But, but..."

"Nothing but, let's go, let's go."

"Ah? Hey, hey, wait a minute..."

The sound of dragging echoed around the fields as the two thieves left in the distance, attracting the attention of some passing players and NPCs. Linyuan Duanshui, who was left behind by the two of them, also followed.

He shook his head and smiled, and waved politely in the direction they left. The dim light brought by the setting sun slowly occupied the field of vision as time went by, and the two people gradually disappeared from sight.

The magician in the figure of the thief immediately withdrew his gaze. Sitting down on the spot, he checked his luggage and packages and spat softly as if talking to himself: "...嘘."

Was he still noticed by the archer?

After rummaging for a while, he finally stopped somewhere. He took out a small bottle with a light red light. Holding the bottle, he drank it without hesitation and then pulled his shoulder hard.

A temporary bandage was put on the wound: "The shot was quite accurate... Sure enough, the archers in this world still have something to learn."

Closing his eyes slightly, he sat cross-legged motionless until the pain from the arrow wound on his shoulder was gradually replaced by a little warmth, then he packed his things and gradually stood up. The cold was still not eliminated.

The end of spring brought a bit of coldness to the field area where night was about to fall, and also made the monsters and beasts wandering around here much more dangerous. The magician who packed his luggage then shook his head with a wry smile and was just about to embark on the journey.

The return journey was interrupted by a sudden and urgent shout from behind: "Hey——"

"Hey! Haha, haha...it's a good thing you didn't leave."

"You? Why are you back again?"

Looking at the returning figure of the little thief from before, Linyuan Duanshui asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to the capital of the empire?"

"I, I discussed it with Brother Yu, and I think it's too much to leave you like this." The panting top boy tried his best to show a smile: "It's getting dark soon, and there may be dangers on the road.

What..."

"Well... I often receive some missions to buy things in the castle, and I often take this road." Linyuan Duanshui hurriedly waved his hands: "I can just go back by myself, it doesn't take a lot of work.

A master puts so much effort into it..."

"The night in this game is very scary. You, a novice who is less than level 10, don't know that, right?"

After righteously interrupting the other party who was about to continue to refuse, the top boy said in a serious voice: "Even the monsters in the Novice Village, after being demonized, are not powerful enough for a little magician like you to deal with."

"That, that..." The man known as the Little Magician laughed dryly and scratched his cheek: "Although I haven't encountered it yet, but... it should be no problem, right?"

"It seems you still lack some common sense in this game world."

Looking up at the face of the magician who was taller than him, the top boy sighed helplessly and finally put on the face of an old-school adventurer: "Let's go, I'll take you back first this time."

."

"After all, I am a fully-leveled thief, and I will have absolutely no problem protecting you alone..."

***********************

After all, the top boy didn't boast, because he did deliver the magician to his destination by himself.

The night in the free world will turn ordinary monsters into demonic monsters. This is a setting that has existed since the beginning of the free world. Everyone who has just come to the free world has been affected by it more or less.

The baptism of this setting, and then accepted the fact that they could not challenge the demonized monsters in various tragic deaths. Many players who suffered this tragic fate later gave up the idea of ​​revenge when searching for information, because these people died at night

The stronger demonized creatures are not just as simple as a substantial increase in blood volume and attributes. The magical brilliance such as lightning or fire that sometimes flashes in the night sky also leaves an early mark on the novice players.

The innate impression of "not allowed to go out at night".

However, after crossing dozens of levels, this impression cannot stop people like Gyro Boy from killing everyone.

"Hahahaha! I let you bully me for so long! Now you know how powerful I am! Hahahahaha!"

"I said...there's no need to be so cruel, right?"

"How can you, a guy like you who has never experienced the pain of Novice Village, know the pain we have suffered? Today I want to take revenge for what I did back then! Hahahahaha!"

"...well."

Looking at the thief who had always behaved very honestly, now acting like a madman, Linyuan Duanshui sighed involuntarily, and the figure who had been following him quietly took a few steps back, and at the same time began to collect

Looking at the monster corpses left behind by the thief after killing everyone: "Anyway, let's see if there are any magic cores first. Even if they can't be used, they should be able to sell them for a few bucks..."

"Wahahahaha! That's right! These low-level magic cores are yours! Go back and use these things to tell the guards in the novice village what exactly we adventurers have seen! Wahahahaha!"

"...It seems that you have indeed experienced more suffering than I imagined."

The package around his waist became more and more bulging with the collection along the way. The magician, who looked relatively weak, finally began to give up some worthless trophies: "I will not stop you from wanting to avenge your blood.

But according to the rules for converting newbie villages in the free world...your newbie village should not be in this place."

"Of course, my novice village is in the north of the empire! There... uh."

"Looks like we've arrived."

Looking at the thieves who were running back and forth and stopped killing, Linyuan Duanshui, who had been following him, sighed and walked to the other party: "This is my novice village."

"Carlow Village."

There was still the curling smoke, and there were still the scattered low-rise bungalows, which looked like they belonged to a small village. As the two people gradually walked out of the hillside, they appeared in front of the starry sky, brought by the cloudless weather.

The bright moonlight also illuminated the vaguely peaceful scene in front of everyone looking at the village, and also made the originally crazy top boy slowly calm down. He was stained with the blood of Warcraft and then wiped it.

Holding his dagger, he showed an expression as if he was remembering: "...Caro Village, right?"

"Yes, the name of my new village."

"It's a very good name, and the atmosphere is very good." The top boy whispered: "It reminds me of my early gaming days."

"The time in Novice Village often becomes the most memorable time for a player, just like the childhood in one's past memory." Linyuan Duanshui replied with a smile: "No matter how much suffering I have experienced, when I see this scene

It will all disappear...right?"

"...That's right."

Smiling at the other party, the top boy returned to normal and then put away his dagger: "So I must send you back - your childhood has just begun."

"Let's go, our destination will be here soon." I didn't notice the strange expression that the novice magician showed later, and his running figure disappeared under the hillside: "I will leave as soon as I have settled you, Brother Yu

Still waiting for me in front."

"Brother Yu... Is he the guy who was with you before?"

Two figures, one fast and one slow, gradually approached the entrance of the village. Finally, as the speed of the two people slowed down, they gathered together again: "How is that person...?"

"How's it going?" It seemed that he was a little surprised that the other party suddenly asked such a question. The top boy looked back at the magician's face: "Of course it's very good. Brother Yu has been taking care of me until now and taught me many thieves."

Even though I'm very stupid, I didn't even practice many moves in the end..."

"Really?" Linyuan Duanshui smiled and lowered his head after hearing these words: "He sounds like a very good person."

"...When you level up, you will definitely meet good teammates and good masters."

Suddenly understanding why the other party asked this question, the top boy clapped his hands and turned around: "If it doesn't work, you can contact me then. Although I... uh, I'm just a little thief, but I can give you something."

You introduce some powerful magician players and so on..."

"A powerful...magic player?"

"Of course, aren't you a magician?"

After looking up and down at the other party's outfit, the top boy then put away his doubtful eyes: "Don't worry, I still know a few magician players. Even if they are not good, I am still a member of the Flame Dragon Beast Guild...

"

"Firedramon?"

"Although this guild may be... uh, not that great, I heard that the president of this guild is a magician. You should practice your leveling now, and I will introduce you to... uh...

."

"Uh...huh?"

The words gradually stopped, and his eyes turned to the side as his head moved. A player wearing the Flamedramon logo like him was pushing open the door of a hotel near the entrance of the village and disappeared drunkenly.

In the darkness deep in the village. (To be continued)
