(I'm so hungry that all the monthly tickets are flying around in front of my eyes... Damn it!)
As soon as the soft and neutral voice of the system announcement stopped, the small garden in front of the Master's Tower became lively. Players gathered in twos and threes to start discussing, and looking at their beaming faces, it seemed that they were the ones who touched the plot mission.
.
Other players looked at the PC priests and mages they were familiar with and showed surprised expressions. Some began to ask doubtfully, while others hurriedly ran towards the Master's Tower.
There are also some shrewd guys who quickly rush into the tavern. They can use this important news to cheat the boss for a meal, or exchange some money with the NPC bard.
Several people rushed past the goblin disguised as a human with scattered footsteps. The Frog Prince sat on the steps in front of the hotel. He looked up at the dangling signboard in boredom.
On the wooden board were engraved a few beautiful calligraphy words 'Safe Haven' in common language. Next to it was a line of small words written in tree paint - the home of all travelers.
"The home of all women!" The goblin read out a sentence with a completely different meaning in an ambiguous tone. He showed a dreamy look in his eyes, obviously not paying attention to the system announcement.
Shuixun touched his arm and said mysteriously: "Hey, frog, the plot mission sounds like he looks very handsome!"
"Call me prince! But they are indeed not like local elves... Ahem, I am so boring." The frog prince's words successfully attracted the attention of several people nearby, and he quickly changed his words.
"Otherwise, let's go find a mission like this!" Shuixun suggested.
The goblin squinted his eyes and looked the little girl up and down, curled his lips and said in a low voice: "The prince will not go on an adventure with 1o1i! Besides..." He paused and added: "You are only level 3!
"
"I said we should find this quest, but I didn't say we had to complete it! As long as we find it, there will be a system announcement!" Shuiyun said as a lesson by knocking the mace on the goblin's head.
"Just think, by then your and my names will be spread throughout the whole Oras, the great water halo and her goblin friend Frog!" The little priest sister showed longing eyes.
"It's the goblin partner prince! No... it should be the great prince and his 1o1i partner!" The goblin immediately corrected the little priest's 'grammar' error. But at the same time, his eyes lit up. Not many people in this world don't want to be famous.
. He held his chin with his hand, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Oh! By the way, didn't we find a cave when we visited a few days ago? Let's go there and have a look!" The Frog Prince quickly found the direction.
Shui Hao showed doubts in his eyes. "You don't want to trick me into going to level up there, do you? Let's make it clear first that I won't do anything when it comes to leveling up... No, it will be troublesome if I don't do it! No, no, no.
!” The little pastor’s sister came up with a large set of demands and shook her head repeatedly.
"Now we are going to find...well, a plot mission! It's so mysterious there, think about it..." the Frog Prince responded disdainfully.
Shuixian hesitated, and she pressed the mace against her chin...

Eye of Order Library——
The system announcement made the three of them stop. They looked at each other and saw slight surprise in their eyes.
"Don't worry about this for now, go in and take a look!" The mage interrupted the two women's thinking. He took the lead and entered the small circular hall. No matter what the plot is or the historical process of the game, the most important thing is still his own doomsday page.
.
"Mage, stop!"
As soon as his toes crossed the boundary between the library and the rotunda, a cold voice stopped him. Xiao Fen was startled by the sudden voice. He looked in that direction and happened to see a man of order.
Master Eye was sitting on the cushion in that direction, looking at him as if he was meditating just now.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
Both sides asked at the same time. The mage stood up, and Xiao Fen happened to see the badge on his chest. There were three eyes painted on the red background. He was secretly frightened. This guy looked like he was only twenty-four or five years old.
I didn't expect that there was level 18, which is considered a genius among NPCs.
The mage glanced at Xiao Fen and the other three with suspicion and vigilance, and said seriously: "You must be the messengers of the fortress of the gods. You can't go in here. The information you want can be found outside!"
"What's in there?" Xiao Fen asked.
The mage showed an impatient expression. "Curiosity will kill the cat! Just know you can't go in!" he said succinctly.
"Xue, negotiate!" Xiao Fen quickly used his spiritual power to prompt the female priest.
Xue nodded slightly, she used the negotiation skill on the other party, and then asked: "Can't you satisfy our curiosity a little bit?"
The mage hesitated for a moment and waved to them: "You can leave, there are only some magic items inside, but the reason why it is a restricted area is because there are also spell books used by two famous magicians!
"Having said this, the mage showed reverence in his eyes, which were a little pious and a little greedy.
The negotiation skills were obviously effective. Xue briefly asked a few more questions, but the other party only knew these things, and they would definitely not let them in. Xue took Xiao Fen and the two back to the library hall, turned around and whispered
Question: "Palin, where is the thing inside? Are you sure?"
Xiao Fen nodded, looked around, and said: "Look at this external library, except for some unimportant spell books and scrolls, there is no magic item at all. If the pages of the Doomsday Book are regarded as magic items, it should be
It’s inside!”
Yun Na nodded and agreed with Xiao Fen's words.
Xue looked at Xiao Fen with questions in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but her meaning was obvious - what are we doing now?
"You can't do it forcefully!" Xiao Fen answered with the power of his mind. The other party was an 18th-level mage, but that didn't mean that he couldn't be killed. It was just that there was absolutely no way to do it cleanly. The most likely thing was that the three of them would kill the mage before he died.
He will be cut into pieces by the swarming arcane guards.
"I may have a way, but I won't know until tomorrow morning!" Yun Na interjected.
Xiao Fen glanced at him. Although the female mage used an uncertain tone, she had a confident expression on her face.
"Okay then, let's go back to the room first... Well, let's discuss it!" Xiao Fen relaxed his grip on the rules of the dark secret law.

In a cave near the Master's Tower——
Shuixun held a torch, and the unstable light extended forward in the strange cave. Their shadows were stretched by the firelight, and reflected on the uneven walls like monsters with teeth and claws. The goblin's face was blue, and his heart was extremely extreme.
She regretted her decision a few hours ago. Obviously, this guy's courage was completely inversely proportional to his curiosity. The little priest sister was not afraid at all. She opened her eyes wide and admired the stone bells surrounding her like a landscape.
A strange sight made of breasts.
"Hurry up, please? How long will it take you to go so slowly!" She suddenly complained with dissatisfaction. The frog prince could not move forward at a speed of thirty feet per minute, which was comparable to that of a turtle.
"What do you know about a little kid? This prince is being cautious!" the Frog Prince replied angrily.
"Why do you need to be so cautious? You don't feel comfortable even playing a game. If you die, just die!" Shui Hao responded nonchalantly.
"Damn, this great prince is different from a rookie like you who doesn't care about rank!"
"But you should be called timid!" Shui Hao sarcastically said.
The goblin's face turned even greener, and he argued: "Being timid is also a kind of caution, and a rookie is a rookie!" As he was about to speak, he tripped and fell to the ground with a pop. At the same time, an ax came out.
The sound swept over the position where his head was a second ago, and embedded itself into the stone wall next to it with a clang.
The goblin trembled and looked back at the rusty axe, then touched his head with an abnormal expression to make sure it was still placed on his neck.
"It's strange that this trap didn't hit!" Shuixun muttered curiously.
"Asshole! Isn't it weird that you missed the hit?" The goblin jumped up and yelled: "Forget it, let's go! There are no plot tasks in this ghost place. Even if there is, it should be found by other players first... Let's go back!"
With that said, he strode back, at least three times faster than before.
"Don't leave, I just got a little interested!" Shuixun tried to hold the goblin, but the goblin happened to be promoted to level 8 two days ago, and his flexibility was increased by 1 point, so the little priest sister couldn't hold him back for a while.
"Hey, you coward!" she shouted at the goblin's back.
The goblin's back paused, and he turned his head.
"I - cowardly!?"
…………
At this time, Yun Na was explaining her plan in the bedroom of Xiao Fen and three other people. The female mage talked about the special fragrance of the Master Tower restaurant. She said: "When I came to this place on the first day, I didn't know if you were still there."
Remember, what the restaurant was like at that time."
Xiao Fen nodded, and the three old mages immediately appeared in his mind. Just thinking about it was terrifying. But the strange thing was that they had been delayed here for more than twenty days, and they had never seen the three old mages again.
Second-rate.
"What did you notice?" Yun Na asked.
"Those three old mages." Xue replied. Obviously, the three strange old men who impressed her most deeply were the same.
"That's wrong, it's the fragrance! That fragrance is emitted by burning incense... It's the same type of incense used every prayer day in the Eye of Order Library!" Yun Na pointed out the key point.
Xiao Fen frowned, as if he was thinking of something. The sunlight shone through the slit window and onto his robe, and the slender threads on the fine velvet robe looked golden in this light. He raised a slender finger to support his forehead,
Thinking hard for that vague clue.
Yun Na looked at him and Xue, leaving them time to think. But at the same time, she also knew that now was not the time to show off. When the mage raised her head with a puzzled look, she smiled and said the answer: "That is meditation incense.
!”
Xiao Fen's brows instantly widened. He was once again impressed by Yun Na's meticulousness. A flash of inspiration flashed through his dark mind, and he raised his voice fiercely: "I understand!"
The mage rubbed his hands, and suddenly thought of another point, and asked hurriedly: "The next prayer day... happens to be tomorrow?"
"Exactly!" Yun Na smiled slightly.
Xue looked at them a little confused, still not quite understanding what they were talking about. But that didn't mean that she was not as smart as the two of them, it was just that there were some things that she didn't know.
"If it is really a meditation incense, you are so lucky! You can use that thing! It seems that we may succeed!" Xiao Fen patted his backpack, and there was someone lying quietly in the backpack.
This item made him feel relieved. Then, a smile spread across his face.
"Is there any way?" Xue smiled softly.
Xiao Fen nodded. "There is a way, but it is only possible. To be on the safe side, we have to make other preparations..." He turned back and held Xue's hand: "Xue, you go to the Haven Hotel tomorrow morning.
Gather the Frog Prince and the others and ask Uncle Mullens to drive the carriage outside the city to wait for us. This will be safer!"
Xue was slightly startled, and twitched her fair hands. "No! I want to be with you!" Her reaction was stronger than Xiao Fen imagined.
"It doesn't matter to me, I can do whatever I want!" Yun Na said with a smile, implying that she could do the above tasks for Xue.
"No, this is the captain's order!" Xiao Fen said seriously, staring into Xue's eyes.
"That's not possible! I... want to be with you!" Xue said without retreating, her tone unusually tough.
Xiao Fen shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "What about your boyfriend's request... just listen to me, okay?"
The female pastor showed hesitation, and finally she raised her head and said quietly but firmly: "Okay, but it's just the one time! There will be no next time!"
"There's no next time!" Xiao Fen smiled and let go of the female priest's hand. He also didn't want Xue to take risks. He always needed to go out alone to handle this matter. It would be good to get Xue out of a dangerous environment. Although this would
A little selfish, but Xiao Fen has never known himself to be a selfless guy.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. The mage tried to change the topic and asked: "What do you think of the three system prompts just now?"
As he said that, he lowered his head and thought about the names of the three missions. Finally, the only conclusion he came to was - "It seems that the players have become stronger. Although characters are deleted every day, no matter what,
, the overall strength of the players will become stronger and stronger." He expressed his thoughts.
"Then their influence on the world will become deeper, and plot missions hidden everywhere will be touched one by one... Hey, will you receive such announcements every day in the future?" Yun Na smiled softly, and then
Xue continued her words.
Xue said nothing, but looked at Xiao Fen worriedly.
"Probably...probably not. The total number of plot tasks is not many, but in any case...the players' influence will gradually increase and be reflected in all aspects!" He replied.
"But don't you think it's strange?" Yun Na put her hand on a book next to her, and she once again showed her insightful eyes.
Xiao Fen tilted his head and signaled the female mage to continue speaking.
"In fact, players have not integrated into this world! They were bystanders at the beginning, and now they are just passers-by!" Yun Na smiled and expressed her point of view. "Occasionally, a passer-by passing by a certain place will have a negative reaction to a person.
There will be an impact on the local area, but this impact is only temporary!”
Xue moved her gaze from Xiao Fen's face to Yun Na, and it was obvious that the other person's conversation attracted her attention.
"But that's not the case now. As a passer-by, the player is still a passer-by who can take no responsibility for what he does! But his influence on the world has risen from a minor influence to a major influence!
"The female mage shook her head and showed a sarcastic smile: "When I think that the future of this world will be guided by a group of passers-by... I feel ridiculous!"
Xue opened her small mouth, and a trace of surprise flashed in her calm eyes.
"No matter how you look at it, the impact that most players can have on this world is nothing but destruction, destruction and chaos!" Xiao Fen said Yun Na's last words. He lowered his head. Yun Na and his thoughts were different.
They coincided with each other, but he thought more - Canaan is a commercial game. If the world is destroyed, what will the game company do? Xiao Fen never thinks that he is a genius. The problem he thinks of must be the problem of the people in the game company.
It's conceivable, but why haven't they taken any action yet... and even missed the best opportunity to make major changes to the game after the open beta? What exactly are they doing by allowing players to do so?
Xiao Fen was suddenly worried again. He didn't want such a good game to disappear due to the negligence of the game company...
