After hanging the character in the Bator Inn in Everdark Town, Xiao Fen quickly quit the game. The game is exciting, after all, the body is the capital of revolution. After all, he hasn't eaten a good meal in a few days. He just finished this today.
Cursed career mission, he was in a good mood. While the game character was hanging in the hotel to recover his strength, he decided to go out and buy some things to make a good tooth-beating ceremony to reward himself, and then have a good sleep to ensure that he was in good spirits.
Only in this state can you have the highest efficiency.
As soon as he exited the game and before he had time to collect his thoughts, the communicator outside the health warehouse started buzzing. He frowned and took a closer look at the number on the communicator. It belonged to the landlord, so he quickly connected it.
"Xiao... Xiao Xiao?" The fat face of the landlady uncle was instantly displayed on the screen. Xiao Fen smiled slightly, secretly thinking that the uncle had gained weight recently, but he still had a charming smile.
The landlord's surname is Liu, nicknamed Uncle. He is a nice person and takes great care of him and his bad friend. However, the only drawback is that he is a bit wordy.
"Uncle, it's me, what's the matter?" Xiao Fen never opened the video connection on his side when using the communicator. The uncle nagged him several times about this, saying it was a very rude behavior... But then I saw him
The matter of 'unrepentance' is over now.
"Xiao Xiao, do you still remember what I told you about the new roommate last time?"
"Uncle..." Xiao Fen rubbed his forehead helplessly, "This is the third time this week... I can almost recite what you said. What are you going to say next: 'Please clean the room.
A good impression on the new roommate?"
"Hey!" The uncle blushed slightly for a rare occasion, but immediately sighed in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, young people nowadays really... don't know how to respect the elderly. The world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"
"..." Xiao Fen was speechless.
"Okay, let's get down to business...Have you been playing an online game called 'What So So South' recently?" The uncle asked with a straight face.
"Canaan!" He shook his head helplessly and had to correct each word: "Is this what uncle calls business?"
"Well... well, are you playing too? What's your name? What's your occupation? Where was your birthplace?" The uncle was stunned for a moment, then asked a lot of questions.
"Ah?" Xiao Fen was confused. In his impression, the uncle didn't seem to like playing games. Although there are many middle-aged and even elderly people in online games now, the uncle seemed to have never shown any concern for this matter.
Any interest? Is this game so attractive?
"Xiao Xiao? Are you still here? Answer my question?"
"He's...he's here!" Although Xiao Fen has never liked to reveal his situation in the game to outsiders, his uncle has been taking care of him for several years and even helped him in the beginning. He couldn't bear to refuse or
Deceive this fat uncle.
"...My name is Palin in the game. I am a mage. My birthplace is the Town of Eternal Darkness in Oras. The specific location of Eternal Darkness Town is in Tranquility Bay, by the Star Lake near the entrance of the Grass River!"
"Ah...ah, wait a minute, I'll write it down..."
After waiting for a while, Xiao Fen asked curiously: "Uncle, are you also playing this game?"
"Ah! Me? I didn't... No, yes, I'm playing too, so I asked... Okay, that's it, Xiao Xiao, you have to pay attention to your health, goodbye, bye... Bang!" The uncle was uncharacteristically.
Xiao Fen took the initiative to disconnect the communication. Xiao Fen was shocked again. There were too many abnormal facts today.
Looking at the communicator screen that had turned into darkness, Xiao Fen shrugged in confusion and left his room with confusion.
…………
The night wind gently passed through the groves, slightly lowering the soft branches, making a soft rustling sound in the darkness. The quiet hills along the bay in the dark night looked particularly mysterious, and the curved Grass River under the hills followed a path that had not happened in thousands of years.
The changing route slowly flows into the quiet sea of the west. It was like this thousands of years ago, and it will still be like this thousands of years later.
The sky is filled with stars belonging to various gods, and the clear Star Lake in the south reproduces these constellations on its broad mind, and the sparkling reflections reflect the most dazzling brilliance under the starlight.
, this is also the origin of the name of Xingchen Lake.
Unlike towns in the north, Yongdian Town in the south does not implement light control at night. Many players still crowd in the dock area of the town to watch the wonders of Star Lake, although some players have entered the game for nearly a month.
'Well, according to the time in the game, nearly half a year has passed (1:10 time ratio). From the gentle spring to the hot and scorching summer, the only thing that remains unchanged is the lake.
Mysterious and beautiful. Especially for some players who are new to the game, the night beside the Star Lake is their most infatuated scenery.
Watching this quiet night scene in the noisy dock area may be a bit jarring, but no one has the idea of enjoying the night scene in the wild. The night on the outskirts of the Shaaktaimen continent represents terror and death. I remember that there was a lot of noise when the game was first opened.
Young lovers go to the countryside to watch the night scene together, often only finding a few cold corpses the next day. The death penalty in the game is very severe. At the beginning of the game, each new character will be assigned five Tear Angel Stones. The Tear Angel Stone
It cannot be traded, dropped, stolen, or discarded. A Tear Angel Stone can resurrect a dead character in the nearest temple without any loss. If a player dies again after using all the Tear Angel Stones, then his
The character is like disappearing from this world. If you want to continue the game, you have to start over. Of course, if you restart, you will still get five more Tear Angel Stones.
However, according to official information, the Tear Angel Stone and similar items can be obtained in the game through various channels. You can tell with just your toes that they are definitely rare items.
People who travel in the wilderness at night are either fools or brave men. Obviously there are not many of these two types of people - there is a saying in the game.
At night, the town of Everdark has strengthened its security forces. There are patrolling guards up and down the 20-foot wooden wall. Their sharp eyes scan any creature passing within 100 yards of the wall, including, of course, this person who happened to arrive in Everdark.
The little man at the east gate of the town - a halfling player.
The short halfling wore a gray-brown cloak that could cover his whole body. There was a pair of extremely smart eyes in the shadow under the cloak. He raised his head and looked at the solid wooden gate of Everdark Town, with a bit of amusement in his eyes.
With a look on his face, an excited smile appeared on his thin lips. He gently patted the sheathed dagger hanging diagonally on his belt and whispered: "Eternal Dark Town? It seems like a good place.
Well…but it’s really fucking creepy to drive at night!”
The night is getting deeper...
…………
When Xiao Fen went online again, it was already three days after the game time. Looking out from the hotel bed through the solid wooden window, he was surprised to find that the weather today was surprisingly good. Maybe it had just rained yesterday, and the sky was filled with
It was bright and clean, the sunshine was much smaller, the leaves outside the window were even more shiny green, and the gentle breeze immediately made a pleasant rustling sound, making people feel happy.
After taking a few steps to the ground floor of the hotel, Xiao Fen confirmed his opinion. Except for a few young bards, there were basically no people of the same age in the hotel. Most of them were middle-aged uncles and old men leaning on the wooden floor.
Sitting on the chair leisurely enjoying this rare leisure time.
"It must have cooled down after the rain. Everyone is rushing to do missions and level up." He thought to himself, because modern people basically live in cities that have been temperature-regulated, so few people can stand the game.
The scorching heat in summer is getting higher and higher. If it had been a few days ago, there must have been many players in this hotel trying to escape the scorching heat.
Xiao Fen has basically been staying in this hotel since he entered the game. The players who stay in this hotel are all familiar with him. As soon as they saw him coming downstairs, several players immediately raised their glasses to him. Of course, he
He also smiled and nodded in response.
"Hi! Little guy, the day before yesterday... oh no! The day before yesterday, I heard from the little girl Meka that you are back and it's worth celebrating!" The innkeeper Bato is an NPC, but he is also a friend of all the regular guests of this inn. There are people in the town.
There are rumors that Bator is a highly skilled warrior, but people who are familiar with him will laugh it off, because Xiao Fen would never believe that this middle-aged uncle with a beer belly could be a hero.
"What are you celebrating?" Xiao Fen was slightly stunned.
"Hey, a brave man who can trek in the wilderness for three consecutive days! Your deeds have been spread along the entire Star Lake! Hahaha!" Uncle Bato shouted in an exaggerated and heroic tone: "For our little one
Cheers, guys! Cheers!" he said while taking a swig of beer.
"cheers!"
"Cheers!" There were cheers or boos in the hotel, and the NPC guys and players were enjoying themselves.
"Talkful Meika!" Xiao Fen blushed slightly. He knew that the Meika girl next door must have sold him out. Meka was also an NPC, but in the eyes of the players in the town, there was no such thing as the innkeeper and the rumored figure Bato.
So famous, Meka is a cute 16-year-old girl who sometimes comes here as a bar girl. Only regulars of the Bato Hotel will be familiar with this little girl with big eyes and a touch of freckles on her face.
girl.
"Have a drink. Drinking some beer in the morning is good for your health!" Ba Tuo smiled and pushed a glass of beer in front of Xiao Fen.
Although the mage must keep a clear head at all times, Xiao Fen thinks there is nothing wrong with drinking a little wine occasionally. He smiled and nodded, and said in a joking tone: "God knows I just ran back and forth to save money on the ferry.
3 days! Warriors? Go to hell!”
"Whatever! Come on, come on! Cheers to health!"
"Cheers to health!" Xiao Fen responded in a low voice with a smile, and at the same time gently touched Ba Tuo's wine glass with the wooden rim.
"For health!" Bator suddenly raised his voice and shouted boldly.
"Cheers!" The hotel burst into laughter again...
After walking out of the hotel, Xiao Fen squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the sudden increase in light, and at the same time deeply sighed at the realism of this game.
"Ahem, cough, sir!" A sudden greeting interrupted Xiao Fen's thoughts. He looked around and suddenly realized that he had not found the source of the sound for a moment.
"Actually, I'm right in front of you!" the voice said again. Xiao Fen was so angry and funny that he fixed his eyes on the 'little guy' in front of him who was less than half his height. To be honest, it wasn't long after he first entered the game.
He is not very good at distinguishing between halflings and dwarfs.
The 'little man' had a pair of shining eyes, which could not stop moving flexibly, as if he was thinking about some weird ideas all the time. He was wearing a cloak that was so big that it almost reached the ground, and the hood of the cloak was covered by
Sweeping back his head, revealing his messy hair, Xiao Fen recognized the cloak. It was the mark of the Brotherhood of Thieves, just like the wizard emblem issued by the Mage Association. Thieves recognized each other by their cloaks. He also noticed that each other was
Hair color, and eye color - black.
"Wizard Palin?" the little man asked.
"Well?" Xiao Fen smiled, "How do you know?"
The little man pointed at the apprentice emblem on Xiao Fen's chest and whispered: "My document interpretation skill is 10 points. Although it is not too high, it is still no problem to find something like this!"
Xiao Fen was slightly stunned. The emblem of the wizard's apprentice on his chest was cast with a spell equivalent to an invisible 'secret mark', which could be used to identify one's identity. The senior leader of the Magic Association just told him that this mark could be cast using a spell.
Interpretation, he has never heard of thieves who have the skills to decipher magic words.
"Interesting! Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, of course, very correct!" The little man smiled slyly, as if he had thought of something very interesting: "My name is 'Half Apple', and I am a member of the Brotherhood of Thieves No. 00745331. Well, that simply means
, my profession is a thief!”
"In fact, I have doubts about your race."
"I am a halfling. Although many people think that I look a lot like a dwarf, it is true that I am a halfling!" The little man smiled brightly, showing his white teeth.
"Okay, I happen to have to go to the Magic Association to do something... hand in the task, let's talk while walking." Xiao Fen suggested.
