Winter time accumulates slowly like snowflakes, and a month in the game has passed in the blink of an eye. Silver frost completely covers the entire northern part of Oras, supply lines are tight, and the pace of the war has slowed down.
Dragon City approached Wu Town to the north and opened a battle line a hundred miles away from Wu Town. The two armies were in a stalemate here and turned into a confrontation. According to the players, nothing exciting could be seen for a whole month.
scene.
News from the south was almost completely blocked, so that Xiao Fen could only get some fragmentary fragments from half an apple. There was not much talk about the progress of the war on the forum, but there was a rumor of a mysterious religion circulating for a while, but
This news, like all rumors, quickly sank into the depths of the sea of posts.
Xiao Fen's study and game life do not conflict. In reality, he successfully passed the initial test, which can be regarded as a real step into the realm of human body potential. In the game, the sturdy greenhouse carriage he hired was slow.
As they moved forward, the ruts of the carriage pressed onto the road near the City of the God of War on the 30th.
Over the past month, there have been constant incidents in the game. They also encountered a lot of troubles on the road, not to mention NPCs without eyes or players who were robbers and roadblocks. They even encountered a small group of patrols from Dragon City a few times.
and the fleeing armies of the northern lords.
At this time, it is usually the goblins who use illusion skills, and a few situations that cannot be handled are solved by Xiao Fen with strong methods. In fact, the goblins no longer dare to chirp in front of Xiao Fen. Ever since they saw Xiao Fen's terrifying ice pick surgery, they
Privately, he renamed Xiao Fen's magic as 'covering the sky with one hand'.
Xiao Fen did not intend to enter the City of the God of War. In his opinion, big cities meant big trouble. Judging from the current situation since childhood, this was the case. He asked the driving NPC to divert to the north. As for purchasing food and other matters
, he decided to do it in a nearby place called Twilight Town.
The carriage was moving bumpily. The wooden barrels containing food, water and wine were piled in one corner, and the sundries were placed in the north corner. There was a thick blanket on the horse's wooden board, and thick mats were hung on the walls of the shed.
It is warm and can serve as a defense against bows and arrows.
The goblin and the kitten were nibbling fruit, while Yun Na quietly looked at the scenery slowly receding behind the carriage. Xiao Fen had been checking the map. From here, he turned north, crossed the Dusk Town, and then passed through the Fortress of the Gods to the northwest. They were there
Entering the Winter Wall Peninsula.
Xiao Fen rubbed his hands and was thinking about the Mage Tower and the Doomsday Page. This time he decided to go north to get a page from the altar under the Mage Tower. Then he turned east and looked for the Mage Tower near the small town.
There is no trace of it. In short, the next itinerary is fully planned.
But there are also things that he is worried about. First of all, he has never gotten rid of the guy who is following him. Now he is almost sure who it is. He wants to find a chance to talk to the other person, but the other person does not give him this opportunity.
At this time, the carriage stopped and they had arrived at Twilight Town.
According to the rules, the player's carriage cannot enter any town. They parked the carriage at a special parking spot and walked into the center of Twilight Town. At this time, there was light snow in the sky as usual, and the temperature was very low, but for the four people wearing winter clothes,
It's nothing to humans.
Entering the central square of Twilight Town, what comes into view is a beautiful statue of four people. This statue is very delicately made. You can easily identify one of them as an elf priest wearing mail, and the other with a band between his eyebrows.
There is a smiling elf female thief, a solemn-looking monk in a monk robe, and a carefree dwarf warrior. Under the statue is a bright copper plate with densely written small letters on it.
Xiao Fen raised his head, and the wind and snow poured into his hood. He shivered and turned back with a smile: "This statue has a very famous story - among the players!"
"Oh?" The other three people sighed in question.
"These four players completed a nearby regional mission that has troubled the town for many years. In order to commemorate them, the residents of the town made this statue for them. At that time in March, this was quite a sensational event! It can be said that it was
The beginning of player participation in the history of the game." Xiao Fen squinted his eyes and looked at the group of statues, and suddenly became excited - four level 1 players, three rookies and a veteran from the closed beta, with
The spirit of a tiger that is not afraid of a newborn calf finally made his name a faint mark in the entire history of Canaan. He pursed his lips and grasped the rules of the dark secret, thinking that he could do better.
"What are the details?" the kitten asked curiously.
"It's just related to a haunted monastery nearby." The mage's tone became a little agitated with his mood. "That monastery used to be a monastery for ascetics... a monastery for ascetics, ascetics!" His heart suddenly jumped, and he passed by
Connecting the rumors with his own experience gave him some new insights.
Then Xiao Fen continued: "These four players entered the monastery and killed the ghosts and robbers hiding in it. It is said that they found some strange things in the basement there... But no one knows what this strange thing is.
,because--"
"Brother Mage!" An excited shout interrupted his conversation, and Xiao Fen turned around subconsciously. The guy waving excitedly outside a tavern in the north was not the little furry warrior from Burning Blade. The mage's eyes widened in surprise, excited.
He rubbed his hands and turned back to Yun Na and others: "Hey, that's a friend of mine. Come on, let's go there!"
An accidental gathering of friends will definitely bring some enthusiasm and excitement. Ranren excitedly invited Xiao Fen and the other four people into the tavern called 'Copper Kettle and Charcoal'. The wooden door of the tavern separated the strong contrast between warm and cold tones, and the room
It was warm inside, with the aroma of food and wine wafting in the air. The players were shouting loudly and banging the containers, making the large space seem lively.
The table in the center was empty, and there was a wooden sign on the table that read, 'Where heroes such as Weslin, Aarons, An, and Night Knight sat.' The innkeeper, a fat man, leaned against the table and shouted loudly.
He was boasting, and from time to time he uttered the words "What's going on with Deno" and "What's going on with Aarons", as if he was the hero at that time.
Xiao Fen turned his head and found Qianxue and Ye sitting next to the fireplace. Ye still looked very restless; Qianxue still looked as if she didn't care about anything, but now she was dressed as a priest of the goddess of night.
Serve, after all, the organization of Secret Star Priests is not legal in the mortal world.
Ran Ren led the four people and squeezed in. Ye Luzhu looked surprised with a hint of joy, while Qian Xue raised her head and looked here expressionlessly, then turned her head and looked out the window. Several people were introduced one by one.
, as a fellow traveler, it is inevitable to look at each other a few times at night.
At this time, Qianxue turned her gaze over again. She looked at the kitten coldly, and after a while she said coldly: "I don't like her, tell her to stay away from me!"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, with Ran Ren and Ye showing embarrassed expressions; Yun Na's eyes flashed, she calmly looked at the three siblings, and then at the kitten, showing interest; the goblin opened his mouth wide.
, looking at Qianxue like a monster; while Xiao Fen kept bending over and prepared to sit down, and froze there.
Kitty wrinkled her nose as if she didn't hear it, and just pouted and retorted: "Kitten doesn't need anyone to like her." Even though she said this, she subconsciously took a step back.
At this time, the door of the tavern was opened again, and two priests wearing the night goddess's robes came in. They glanced at Xiao Fen, and finally fell on Qianxue. Qianxue nodded and said lightly to everyone.
: "Something's wrong!" and then left.
"Sorry." Yecai smiled apologetically at this time.
"Second sister, she's gone too far!" Ranren sat down across from Xiao Fen and the other four people dissatisfied, and said angrily.
Xiao Fen coughed, glanced at the little cat, and changed the subject: "Where did she go? Is the other party also a secret star priest?"
Burning Blade nodded: "Those two people are NPCs. They seem to be investigating the nearby monastery." His voice was very low. After hearing the news, Xiao Fen had a related speculation in his mind, but he
He quickly suppressed his curious thoughts. Now he had too many facts.
Mao Mao, Yun Na and Goblin didn't speak. They just sipped the wine they brought with them, and the atmosphere still seemed a bit awkward. The mage changed the subject again. He talked about the situation nearby and the conflict between the northern knights and the orcs.
fighting.
When talking about the battle in the north, Burning Blade immediately became excited, and he began to talk about the rumors about the three ladies of Weslan. This was a rumor that had begun to circulate in the north recently - three people who devoted themselves to the Silver Weslan and the
The beauties of the war between orcs are a ranger, a knight, and a priest. Their strength, their wisdom, and of course their beauty, which is the most widely circulated, are the biggest hot topics recently, both in games and on forums.
Burning Blade kept talking. From his mouth, Xiao Fen heard the details about the female knight completing the so-called difficult atonement mission, as well as about her persistence and loveliness; of course, there was also the story about the female knight penetrating the frost a hundred steps away.
The arrow between the eyebrows of the chief of the Stone Tribe, the Eagle of the North - this is her new title; and the priest lady who is as warm and peaceful as spring in the harsh winter. In the mouth of the northern knights, her gentleness is like the goddess of spring.
She is equally popular among people, and her radiance is not inferior even to that of the Sun God.
Xiao Fen smiled. He had heard these things from the little girl's autobiography, but hearing it from others had different feelings, especially the look of admiration and yearning shown by Ran Ren when he talked about Xue, which made Xiao Fen
I feel very proud, but at the same time I feel a little bit uneasy.
The pleasant conversation continued from noon to night. The howling wind in the cold winter swayed the tavern signboard and made a crackling sound. The night enveloped the earth. Only the warm light shining from the tavern windows and the noisy noise coming from the gaps proved that,
Players did not succumb to the raging cold.
Xiao Fen was holding a glass of wine and looking out the window. The dark clouds blown down by the howling cold wind from the north covered the entire northern night sky, and the south was also covered with thick black clouds. He noticed that Qianxue still had not returned at this time. The mage had strayed.
He tilted his head and suddenly felt a sense of depression welling up in his heart. He suddenly had a strange feeling that the world around him had changed...
