While the kitten and the frog were swindling around in the name of NPC, Xiao Fen also slowly walked into the gate of Stone Sword City with Yun Na.
Stone Sword City was built at the end of the Magic Age and is an important trading city. This city with unique gray-brown city walls is surrounded by the majestic Seven Mountains to the north and the quiet and slow-flowing Anda River to the south. It is located in a perfect location
Cutting off the only commercial route between central and western Olas, the excellent geographical location allowed the city to grow rapidly and become one of the few large cities in the north of Olas.
In addition to a large number of ordinary residents in the city, there are also businessmen traveling east and west. And because the roads in the Great Valley on the east side are quite dangerous, there are also many adventurers and mercenaries here, attracted by huge profits.
, there is always no shortage of desperadoes.
But the Stone Sword City of this period seemed a little different. Xiao Fen noticed it as soon as he entered the city gate. The vigilant and slightly suspicious look of the city gate guards, the cold sharp light reflected on the newly polished spear, every detail
Zhongdu revealed a tense atmosphere.
However, Xiao Fen was not surprised by this situation. He had received news from Green Town that Dragon City's army had crossed Ranji City to the north a month ago. They had successfully moved the front nearly 400 miles north. If according to the
At this speed, Longcheng's army may be approaching the city before winter completely covers the north - this is not just alarmist talk.
Another irrelevant news is the growth of the Dark Leaf Union. This union, which is attached to the Lord of Dragon City, has not been suppressed as imagined after the fall of Manzite. Maybe the NPC is still relatively tolerant to the players. In short, after a series of reforms
Finally, the Dark Leaf has the necessary foundation to become a large guild.
Xiao Fen exhaled to expel these chaotic thoughts from his mind. He raised his head and glanced at the slightly chaotic streets of Shijian City, and then froze.
This trading city is not as prosperous as imagined. There are a large number of poor people huddled on both sides of the street. They are wearing tattered clothes and shivering in the low temperature. Most of them are blue-faced and white-lipped from the cold, with confused eyes.
It is full of helplessness and despair, but there is also a hint of memories of beautiful things.
"This is..." Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment, and his usually rigorous and continuous thinking suddenly went blank for a moment.
Yun Na walked up from behind him, with her low but beautiful voice: "These are war refugees, they come from the south."
"These are the war refugees?" Xiao Fen nodded slightly. He moved his gaze to the distance, and a scene in the corner immediately caught his attention. There, an old man carefully protected and cuddled against him.
The little boys were both wearing only a thin piece of clothing. In this weather, just looking at the thin clothes would make people feel a chill coming from behind, not to mention the actual effect of wearing them.
Xiao Fen's heart moved. The kind look the old man looked at the little boy reminded him of some past events. He slowly walked over there and stopped in front of the old man and the boy. The old man noticed the figure in front of him, and he
He raised his head, helpless light flashing in his cloudy eyes.
Xiao Fen looked at the old man quietly, until the old man's appearance gradually coincided with the face of the old dean in his heart, he sighed softly.
The boy was startled by Xiao Fen's deep sigh. He turned back from the old man's arms and looked at Xiao Fen. His eyes gradually became clearer, but there was clearly a trace of doubt and distrust in this clarity. The boy's eyes aroused Xiao Fen's dissatisfaction.
Answer, but after a moment's hesitation, he still bent down and put down 10 gold coins in front of the old man and the boy.
"Don't-" Yun Na's low-pitched reminder was obviously a little late.
"You bad guys! We don't want your hypocritical money!" The distrust in the boy's eyes turned into a kind of grief and anger. He shouted angrily, and then he broke out of the old man's arms and grabbed the gold coins on the ground and pointed them at Xiao Fen.
Throw it away - the gold coins fly feebly towards Xiao Fen's robe, making a low flapping sound.
"Tom! Come back..." The old man pulled the child back to his side, stretched out his big hands, and carefully protected the boy.
"What?" Xiao Fen took a step back.
"Palin, they will not accept your help." A trace of hesitation flashed in Yun Na's blood-red eyes, but her face remained calm. "The players and lords in the north caused this war, and the players need to be responsible for the war!"
"
"The ruthless war is burning in the south. The war has destroyed their homes, their land, their happiness and even their relatives, destroying all their supports and supports!" There is an uneasy tone hidden under the calm tone.
"Here..." she continued: "Players don't have to be responsible for their actions. They can enjoy the excitement of war. This kind of result is just expected."
Xiao Fen seemed to ponder for a moment, raised his head and whispered two vague words to the old man and the boy, then turned around and left without looking back.
"Are you sorry?" Yun Na stared at Xiao Fen's back, her eyes flashed, and she followed him in small steps.
The two of them walked forward in silence. They carefully passed the refugees on the roadside. The suspicious and slightly hateful looks from the refugees made the two of them feel like a light on their backs. Within a few steps, they were almost there.
Stained with cold sweat.
Because of the existence of this scene, the atmosphere on Shijian City Avenue is a bit strange. Some players will feel extremely unnatural here, but some players can talk and laugh in this environment, but the loud talking and laughing are particularly strange.
It's just harsh.
With the harsh chatter and laughter echoing in his ears and the churning sound of the carriage convoy passing through the street, Xiao Fen quickly found out the location of the most famous hotel in Shijian City. He silently called the kitten and the frog.
He picked up a carrier pigeon, and then the whole person fell silent again.
The refugee issue didn't bother him too much, he just felt a little pity for them. But the old man and the boy made him uneasy. Looking at the old man and the boy, he seemed to see the grandfather, the director of the orphanage, and the boy.
Childhood self.
The boy's angry rebuke made him doubtful and confused about his behavior in Canaan.
"What are we players doing... Or, what is the purpose of this game? Doesn't the game allow players to play as much as they want... But why?" He sighed in his heart, with a confused expression on his face.
"What? Are you feeling heavy?" After a while, Yun Na smiled and broke the silence.
"No way?" Xiao Fen replied a little impatiently, his heart was in a mess.
Yun Na was stunned for a moment, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her blood-red eyes, bit her lower lip and continued: "I just think that according to your personality, you shouldn't be affected by a few refugees! These are just NPCs - you should
Say so."
"My personality? Am I familiar with you?" Xiao Fen stopped and turned back to look at Yun Na coldly.
Yun Na then stopped. She stared into Xiao Fen's eyes, took a step back slightly, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry...me."
Xiao Fen shook his head and realized his gaffe. He smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited... I just remembered some things from the past -" He stopped abruptly and turned to Yun Na again.
Showing an unreal smile.
Yun Na looked at Xiao Fen who suddenly turned around, stretched out her hand to fiddle with the silver hair on her forehead, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her bloody eyes.
Xiao Fen organized his thoughts and tried to change the subject: "By the way, why did those people attack you just now? Who are they?"
"He's a player from a certain branch of the Horn of War!" Yun Na smiled slightly, remembering the air battle just now.
"It's the war horn again..." Xiao Fen held his forehead. He would still hang out in the north for a while, but he didn't want to annoy the big boss in the north like the Bloody Slayer.
"Don't worry, War Horn is busy with the war in the south, and they don't have time to care about these little things yet." Yun Na said with a smile.
"So the reason for the conflict was to grab equipment?" Xiao Fen asked again.
Yun Na raised her lips slightly and shook her head: "No, actually I have no interest in the equipment. If they insist on it, I will give it to them."
"Oh?" Xiao Fen's interest was piqued.
"They saw that I killed the flash dog BOSS alone and wanted me to join them, but I didn't agree." Yun Na said lightly.
"Is that why?" Xiao Fen's brows jumped, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart. He didn't know whether to say that the war horn was too overbearing or that Yun Na was too...
"Wait a minute." He turned around, "You said you can kill the Flash Dog BOSS alone?"
Yun Na chuckled and nodded, raised her bloody eyes, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Why, you don't believe it?"
Xiao Fen recalled the scene at that time, nodded doubtfully, and his mind immediately started to change. He began to consider whether to drag this silver-haired beauty into the Shining Gold Coin. After all, there are players in Canaan who can challenge BOSS, especially mage players.
Not much.
Time always flies quickly when talking. Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the 'Sword and Fire' tavern and hotel located in the center of Stone Jian City. The history of this hotel is almost as long as that of Stone Jian City. According to legend, it was founded by Stone Jian City.
It was opened by a mage friend of the city lord - although the topic of a mage opening an inn is a bit bizarre, the talking magic statue in the center of the inn still attracts many visitors.
The kitten and the frog sat obediently in the corner of the hotel - at least on the surface they seemed obedient. The frog used illusion magic to turn himself into a dwarf, but it could be seen from the disgusted expression on his face that he didn't like it.
this image.
Xiao Fen easily found these two guys, and then he introduced Yun Na to them, and then told them in the name of captain (and of course in the name of gold coins...) to wait here while he went to do some small things.
.
"Wait for me here!" Xiao Fen's original words were like this. He pointed at the wooden tabletop with his finger: "I will improve my fixed team! Then I will come back to form a team with you! I am now the captain
My identity orders you - the kitten, and of course the frog, not to get into trouble! OK?"
He took out a few gold coins and rubbed them on his hands: "For the sake of the gold coins! OK?"
Kitty nodded obediently, with a rare serious look on her pretty face, but the cunning light shining in her eyes made Xiao Fen feel uneasy.
"I promise! Kitty promises!" Kitten said, patting her chest.
Xiao Fen nodded, turned around and walked out of the 'Sword and Fire' hotel. The war was gradually approaching the north. He had to get to the Archmage Tower before the road was cut off. He didn't have much time.
As soon as Xiao Fen left, the kitten's eyes lit up in the hotel. She turned around and took Yun Na's slender arm and said sweetly: "Sister Yun Na, the kitten has a very good idea.
…Sister, let’s go out and play, okay?”
Yun Na looked at Xiao Fen's back, then at the cute kitten, smiled slightly, and nodded.
