881 Carlow Village
"Haaaaa, finally... finally ran out..."
On the evening of the 0th day of the earth-month in 796, in the suburbs of the Thebelis Castle of the Frey Empire, several black shadows who were rushing away from the army of players who were running back and forth, hid among the fields not far from the south gate: "They, they shouldn't catch up, right?"
"Will you continue to catch up...it depends on how much energy the opponent in your guild has."
He kicked away a rock at his feet vigorously, and the thief named King of Salted Fish looked back at the small city he had just walked out with his hands: "From the conversation they had with the local city guards just now... the person from the beast and bird tribe must have been in Thebilis for some time."
"Is the Flame Dragon Beast really so miserable?" So the gyro boy's expression became lost: "I thought I could find several fellow travelers to form a team, but now..."
"Anyway, this is the case, and the Castle of Thebilis can't be returned."
Shaking his head slightly, the King of Salted Fish then turned around with a calm face: "The guards should remember our appearance. I'm afraid it will be another trouble next time I encounter it, but...hum."
He thought about it, but he still couldn't continue what he wanted to say: "You...should have other opportunities. After all, according to your words, the Fire Dragon Beast still has other teammates in other places, as long as they can find them in another city..."
"Really, really?" The gyro boy raised his head with anticipation: "I won't be like this again?"
"...I can't guarantee this." The King of Salted Fish replied helplessly: "But... there is one thing that shouldn't change."
"As long as you become strong enough, you will definitely not be bullied like you are today."
He patted the other person on the shoulder, and the words 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 slightly lonely face and finally nodded slightly. The sound of wheat waves blowing by the real wind then kept ringing in their ears, adding a bit of warmth to the cold that was about to bring to the dusk. The King of Salted Fish, who closed his mouth and did not answer again for a long time, finally took back his thoughts of continuing to encourage the other person, and turned to the magician behind him and asked, "Then... it's your turn."
"What do you plan to do in the future? The water is cut off from the abyss?"
"Uh...I should have no problem?"
He waved his hand in a panic, and the magician called Linyuan Shunshui replied with a dry smile: "I am just a passing person, always being involved in unpredictable disasters..."
"I appeared in such an occasion twice, and now I was carried out together... You are not an irrelevant person no matter how you say it now." The King of Salted Fish shook his head and replied: "For your future gaming experience, I kindly advise you: Don't go back to the castle, the people from the beast and bird tribe will definitely go to trouble you."
"That, that...hahahaha." So the magician who was still covering the wound on his shoulder hard let out an embarrassing laugh: "Is there anything so exaggerated? I'm just a novice under level 10..."
"Oh...if you don't believe it."
It seemed that there was no unnecessary mood to persuade this novice player who was more dull than the gyro boy. The Salt Fish King turned his head calmly: "Since there is no other place to go... let's just return to Redkar?"
"Ray, Redkar?" the gyro boy pointed to 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 that tribe who are chasing me. My strength is still so poor. When I go to a deeper place, I'm afraid it will only bring you more trouble..."
"Since I agree to let you hang out, I will naturally not leave you behind. As for the troubles you mentioned... Humph, it's nothing in front of me."
"But, but..."
"Nothing, but I'm leaving."
"Ah? Alas, Alas wait..."
The dragging sound was heard around the fields with the figures of two thieves leaving in the distance, attracting the eyes of some passing players and NPCs. Linyuan Duanshui, who was left by the two of them, shook his head and smiled, and waved his hand politely in the direction they left. The dim light brought by the setting sun slowly occupied the view of the place over time. The magician who gradually could not see the figures of the two thieves immediately withdrew his eyes to look at him. He sat down on the spot while checking his bags and packages at this time, and spat to himself: "...小."
Was it still discovered by that archer?
After searching 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 the bandage that was temporarily tightened on the wound on his shoulder: "I shot quite accurately... As expected, there are still some researches for archers in this world."
He closed his eyes slightly, and sat cross-legged in place until the pain from the arrow wound on his shoulder was gradually replaced by a little heat, and then he packed up and stood up. The late spring, which still had not yet eliminated, brought a little coldness to the fields where the night was about to fall, and also made the monsters and beasts wandering around the surroundings much more dangerous. The magician who packed his luggage then shook his head with a wry smile. The footsteps that were about to set foot on the way back were interrupted by a sudden clamor from behind: "Hey—"
"Hey! Ha, ha... Fortunately you didn't leave."
"You? Why are you back?"
Looking at the figure of the little thief who had returned from before, Lin Yuan Duanshui asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to the capital of the empire?"
"I, Brother Yu discussed it for a while, and it was too much to just leave you behind." The breathless gyro boy tried hard to smile: "It's getting dark, and there might be dangers on the road..."
"That...I often receive some tasks to buy things in the castle, and I often walk on this road." Linyuan Duanshui hurriedly waved his hands: "I can go back by myself, it's not a matter of time for the two masters to worry so much..."
"The nights in this game are very scary. You are a novice who is less than ten, don't you know?"
After interrupting the other party with righteous words and trying to continue to refuse, the gyro boy said in a serious voice: "Even if it is a monster in the novice village, the strength after the demonization is not something you, a little magician, can deal with."
"That, that..." the man known as the little magician smiled dryly and scratched his cheek: "Although I haven't encountered it yet, it should be fine, right?"
"It seems that you still lack some common sense in this game world."
He raised his head and looked at the face of the magician who was taller than him. The gyro-top boy who sighed helplessly finally put on a look that only an old-fashioned adventurer: "Let's go, I'll send you back this time."
"No matter what, I am also a full-level thief, and I will protect you alone... there is absolutely no problem."
***************************
The gyro boy did not boast about it after all, because he did rely on one person to send the magician to his destination.
The night in the Free World will generate ordinary monsters to generate demonized monsters. It is a setting that has existed since the beginning of the server of the Free World. Every person who has just arrived in the Free World has been baptized by this setting to a greater or lesser extent, and then accepts the fact that he cannot challenge the demonized monsters in various tragic deaths. Many players who have suffered this tragic fate then gave up the idea of revenge in the query of information, because the degree of these demonized creatures that become stronger at night is not just a significant increase in their health and attributes. The magical brilliances such as lightning or flames that flash through the night sky also gave the innate impression of "not going out at night".
However, after crossing a full dozens of levels, such an impression cannot stop a person like the gyro boy from killing all over the world.
"Hahahaha! You have bullied me for so long! Now you know how powerful I am! Hahahahahahaha!"
"I said... there is no need to be so fierce, right?"
"How could you, a guy who has never experienced the pain in the novice village, know the pain we have suffered before? Today I want to avenge the revenge of the past! Hahahahaha!"
"...well."
Looking at the thief who had been acting honestly, Linyuan Duanshui sighed involuntarily, and the figure who had been following the other party immediately took a few steps back without hesitation. At the same time, he began to collect the corpses of the monsters left by the thief after killing all directions: "In short, see if there are any magic cores. Even if they can't be used, they should be able to sell for a few dollars..."
"Wow hahahaha! That's right! All these low-level magic cores belong to you! Go back and use these things to tell the guards of the novice village what we adventurers have seen! Wow hahahaha!"
"...It seems that you have experienced more suffering than I thought."
The packages on your waist became more and more swelling as you passed by. The magician who looked weak finally began to give up some worthless spoils: "I won't stop you from taking revenge on your personal behavior, but according to the rules of the conversion of the Liberal World Novice Village... Your Novice Village should not be in this place."
"Of course, my novice village is in the north of the empire! There...uh."
"It seems we're here."
Looking at the figure of the thief who kept running back and forth, he stopped killing, and followed Linyuan Duanshui, who had been following him, sighed and walked to the other party: "This is my novice village."
"Carlo Village."
There were still smokes of cooking smoke, and still low bungalows in a staggered manner. The appearance of a small village was accompanied by the two people's steps gradually coming out of the hillside and appeared in front of the starry sky's vision. The bright moonlight brought by the cloudless weather also shone a faint peaceful scene in front of everyone looking at the village, and also made the originally crazy gyro boy slowly quiet down. He, who was covered in blood of monsters, then wiped his dagger while showing a memory-like expression: "...Carlo Village, is it?"
"Yes, my name is my novice village."
"It's a very good name, and the atmosphere is also very good." The gyro boy whispered: "Remind me of the game I had at the beginning."
"Time in the novice village often becomes the most impressive time for a player, just like a childhood in a person's past memory." Linyuan Duanshui replied with a smile: "No matter how much suffering you have experienced, it will disappear when you see this scene... Isn't it?"
"...That's right."
He smiled at the other party, and the gyro boy who had returned to normal then put away his dagger: "So I must send you back - your childhood has just begun."
"Let's go, the destination will arrive soon." Without paying attention to the strange expression that the novice magician showed, his rushing figure disappeared under the hillside: "I will leave after you have settled you, Brother Yu is still waiting for me in front."
"Brother Yu...is the guy I've been with you before."
Two figures, one fast and one slow, then gradually approached the gate of the village, and finally gathered together again as the two people slowed down: "Why...what?"
"How is it?" It seems that he was a little surprised that the other party would suddenly ask such a question. The gyro boy turned around and looked 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' skills. Although I am very stupid, I didn't practice several moves in the end..."
"Is that true?" Lin Yuan Duanshui, who heard these words, smiled and lowered his head: "It sounds like a very good person."
"...When your level improves, you will definitely meet good teammates and good masters."
Suddenly I understood why the other party asked this. The gyro boy clapped his hands and turned around: "If it really doesn't work, you can contact me then. Although I...uh, I'm just a little thief, but I can introduce you to some powerful magician players and the like..."
"Awesome...Magic Player?"
"Of course, aren't you a magician?"
After looking up and down at the other party's outfit, the gyro boy then put away his puzzled look: "Don't worry, I still know a few magician players. Even if they can't do it, I am still a member of the Fire Dragon Beast Guild..."
"Flame Dragon Beast?"
"Although this guild may...uh, not a good thing, but I heard that the president of this guild is a magician. You should level up now, and I will introduce you to it at that time...uh..."
"Uh...huh?"
The voice gradually stopped, and his gaze turned to the side as his head shifted. A player wearing the Flame Dragon Beast logo, like him, was pushing open the door of a hotel near the entrance of the village, and disappeared drunkenly into the darkness deep in the village. (To be continued)
