In the northern area of Quiet Bay, in a not-so-famous tavern in Fog Town——
Just like the name of this town, thick fog always fills the town in the morning, and the air is mixed with a fishy smell, just like the smell of sea water - although it is thousands of miles away from the nearest coast. It is gray
Under the fog, a broken wooden door was embedded in the mottled wall. Several gray-green vines hung down from the broken wall and dragged into the mud on the street.
This is Lelong Tavern, a dilapidated and unknown tavern. Its name has not even spread across the two streets between it, and in fact it has not spread far as far as the reputation of its ignorant owner.
Not long after the pace of war left Wu Town, the streets of the town seemed a little deserted. Occasionally, a group of Dragon City soldiers walked through the streets in formation, leaving only a series of laughter, curses, or curses in the cold air.
The sound of equipment clashing. Several players crowded in front of the door of Lelong Tavern. They stretched their necks and peered into the tavern with wide eyes, but the dim light in the room allowed them to only see clearly the blurry figure in the corner... Exactly
Some, it should be just an outline. It's the player from the cult in the south... or a paladin!" One of the players put his hand on the shoulder of another player, and he said excitedly. Look at his armor,
No matter how you look at it, it should be the Dark Guard!" The voices of several players arguing became louder and louder, reaching the innermost corner of the tavern. The knight sitting by the extinguished fireplace raised his head. The black hood made of fine velvet
Following his movements, it slid down to his neck, revealing a pair of beautiful black hair and a pair of pitch-black eyes. His black cloak covered the pitch-black armor with beautiful patterns carved on it, and the silver-gray two-handed sword with roses and skulls embossed on it.
Placed beside the table, there was a sharp dagger hanging on the side of the scabbard - the edge of the dagger flashed with a faint blue light, and one could tell at a glance that there must be some terrible poison smeared on it.
There was a faint smile on the knight's lips. His slender fingers played with the sheath of the dagger, while his eyes showed a gleam of interest.
At this time, the three players did not realize that they had been discovered, and their discussion voices further increased: "So those guys in the south are really evil organizations?" There is no proof-" The first player's words were echoed.
cut off. The knight in the room raised his eyebrows. He seemed to hear the gasps of the players. At this time, the already dim light in the room dimmed again. The guests in other corners of the tavern subconsciously raised their heads. They immediately looked
Then a five-foot-tall guy, covered under a tattered black cloth cloak, with red eyes flashing, slowly walked in. This guy's body spread out faint black ripples, and everything touched by these ripples
It immediately turned black and gray. The man bowed his head respectfully, but you could notice that his blood-red eyes were shining with resentment, and his hoarse voice also seemed a bit stiff.
The black-armored knight knocked on the table with the seal ring on his finger. He smiled and said: "What tasks have you brought to me again? It seems that I have more important things now!" The man raised his head, and the red light in his eyes started to beat violently.
"Lord Nessus has news for you. Your target has changed. The person you want to follow will be another person! He is chosen to execute our will!" He changed the method of transmitting information to telepathy.
The black-armored knight fiddled with the black dagger sheath in his hand, and a smile appeared on his lips. "So, where is that person from before? Ha!" His smile gradually widened, revealing his white teeth like a beast. "It seems that you guys
The temptation for him is not enough. Hahahaha!" He laughed wildly in the spiritual message.
The man in black's lips moved, and he tried to control his emotions and said: "Lord Soth, there are some things that you shouldn't ask if you don't understand them."
The black-armored knight Soth suddenly raised his head, his flashing eyes tightly grabbing the opponent's red eyes. "Knight!" The voice in his heart suddenly rose: "Do you need me to teach you how to talk to the superior?
?Your arrogance will eventually make you pay the price!" Goal switching! I spent several months coming to the north, waiting for not a stupid order, just one sentence made me waste so much time! Play
Am I?" The voice in the heart of the black-armored knight was already like a roar, and the terrible oppressive force surged towards the man in black like a tide. The latter's red eyes showed fear, and he staggered back, finally regaining his stability.
Come down.
Soth interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, and he pointed a finger at the man in black. "Tell me the name of that man, and then...disappear in front of my eyes immediately!" There was nothing in the Lord Knight's words that could be questioned.
Certainly. No one dared to doubt Soth's tone. After leaving this name, he turned around and left the Lelong Tavern in a hurry. His embarrassed look was difficult to match with his attire.
Soth stood up and mocked: "Melody...how stupid!" At this time, the voices of the players outside the door came in again. "Is he inside?" asked a strange voice. The guy in black."
The unfamiliar voice interrupted the others.
The black-armored knight pretended not to hear these conversations. He smiled and inserted the dagger into the scabbard, then held the beautiful two-handed long sword. At this moment, with the sound of metal hitting the ground, a man wearing full body armor
The knight walked in from the door. He walked straight to Soth, raised the weapon in his hand and stared at the black knight and said word by word: "Evil cultist from the south. Accept the trial!"
Soth looked at the knight with a smile, and there was some pity in his eyes. "Do you want to duel?" he asked lightly, his voice was incredibly soft. The surrounding guests stared at the two knights curiously, their eyes were like
Waiting for a good show to come. The knight felt a little stunned, but he reacted immediately. Soth stretched out his hand forward and made a gesture of invitation toward the door.
The knight looked at him doubtfully, and murmured: "I hope you don't want to run away!" As he said that, he raised his head and turned around to walk out the door. But the moment he turned around, the black-armored knight suddenly
With a ferocious smile, he raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed the unsuspecting knight from behind... The long sword burst out with a burst of dazzling black light, and then its blade cut downwards from the knight's neck into the body,
Rose-like blood sprayed out like raindrops... A huge damage figure appeared, and he groaned, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. Everyone screamed.
Soth turned the long sword with a hilt and knocked the fragile knight to the ground, and then added a few more swords to kill the other party. The sinister smile on the lips of the black knight quickly turned into a gentle smile. He raised his head and looked around, lowering his head.
He smiled and said: "When the duel has begun, remember not to leave your opponent's back behind!"
The tavern was quiet. Only the black knight's slightly mocking reminder echoed for a long time...
The huge underground labyrinth in the north of Oras, the dark place——
Darkness dominates everything in the underground world. Even in the early morning, what you see when you raise your head is no longer the morning sun in the east - but the solid rock walls of the cave. The dark blue granite is connected one after another, forming an underground network that extends in all directions.
solid channel.
There is never the warmth and light of the sun here, only a few torches lit by players not far away. The flickering dim light seems to be extinguished at any time, as if it is lingering. The orange light illuminates half of the face of the nearby sentry.
.There is generally a tired look on their faces.
There were fires burning in several places in the gray dwarf village, and black smoke was rising. The choking smoke surrounded the entire underground, and the air was very turbid. The broken walls were stained with blood, and ragged corpses lay scattered on the streets.
There was a dead expression on their faces, as if death had never happened to them.
This was the first time that a player was suddenly attacked at night, and it came from inside. The chaotic scene at that time made Xiao Fen feel funny. He even saw a few reckless rangers kill one of his own people with arrows, and the accurate
His shooting skills are worthy of praise - but it's a pity that he was accurate against his own people.
A night of fighting exhausted everyone's physical strength. In the words of the players - it was really terrible. They cursed the slaves who repaid kindness with revenge. The chaotic night battle made everyone feel extremely depressed... In fact, the slaves
Their sudden explosion did not cause much damage to the players, it just tortured their spirits a little.
But complaints are complaints, and the mission must continue. In the early morning of Oras, the players cursed and walked out of their tents. The female players were a little more reserved, but they also had an angry expression on their faces. At the same time, the camp
In the corner of the room, the mage is talking quietly with Yun Na.
The black-robed mage supported his body with a crystal staff. He stared indifferently at the exits on the west side of the huge cave. "Which way do you think they will choose to move forward?" A smile appeared on the mage's pale face, and he asked
He asked in a joking tone.
The aroma of food spread throughout the camp. It was soup made from mushrooms and some animal meat. Players had been using this stuff as food for several days. Yun Na glanced at the center of the camp with blood-red eyes:
"Those people will definitely choose the direction where the gray dwarves escaped yesterday."
She touched her smooth chin and said with some confusion: "The gray dwarves seem to be luring them forward, but I don't know what their purpose is in bringing the players onto this path."
Xiao Fen thought for a while: "Do you know what the attack of those slaves did yesterday?" Fang." Yun Na sat down against a rock. "The attack of the slaves has no threat to the players, maybe... it's just psychological warfare.
Just to make players tired?"
The mage shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you are just interested in the history and background knowledge of the game." The characteristics caught my attention." The mage whispered: "Later, I asked Little Girl Shui to check those
The corpses of the slaves, they had something on them. It is almost certain that they were left intentionally by the gray dwarves." The girl reacted instantly. She saw the mage put a finger to his lips, and asked in a low voice:
"disease?"
Xiao Fen nodded: "Yes, Shuixun told me that a large part of those slaves are infected with corpse rot." "Oh, these gray dwarves are really cunning guys." Yun Na showed a surprised expression.
." The mage smiled and changed the topic: "By the way, the people from the Horn Spirit came to see me yesterday. They seemed to want us to join the association, and the conditions they offered were quite loose." He laughed.
The short breakfast was spent with listless complaints from the players. In a way, last night's raid was quite successful as a psychological warfare. Next, the player's team indeed chose the gray dwarf's retreat route.
They soon found themselves entering a strange and huge cave, which was connected to countless narrow passages. Some even extended from the top of the rock wall.
This scenery looked strange, but the players were not in the mood to appreciate it, because they soon discovered that today's situation was different from yesterday - gray dwarf attacks came from all directions, and arrows coated with poison always fell from those from time to time.
It was shot out from an unexpected place, and the detoxification spells prepared by the priest were quickly exhausted, and then they began to consume the limited medical supplies in reserve.
The attacker leans out of a narrow cave, throws a spell or shoots an arrow, and then quickly disappears into the darkness. This harassment attack is extremely effective, and the players are annoyed. They are
Their patience was worn away bit by bit, and the entire team was filled with a kind of anger that needed to be exploded, but now no one was able to make a punching bag for them.
So the queue of players moved forward anxiously.
Some players even came up with ridiculous suggestions of splitting up and going into the bifurcated caves to chase each other. Fortunately, the leaders of the player guilds were not annoyed enough to lose their cool. They suppressed these messy suggestions and just ordered the players to improve their skills.
alert.
The whole day was spent in non-stop attacks. In fact, very few players actually died because of this. Except for a few unlucky guys, most of them only suffered a little scratch. The irritability gradually faded away from everyone.
The players are depressed to the bottom of their hearts. In other words, they have become numb to these attacks.
But Xiao Fen knows that numbness means loss of vigilance. When you become accustomed to all this, a real surprise attack may kill you. As he thought, in the afternoon and evening, this time the real
The raid has arrived.
As the player shuffled forward sadly, three dwarves appeared just within reach of the dim light of the torch. They leaned out from the fork next to the cave. One of them held a beautiful branch in his hand.
Staff.
The players immediately yelled and cursed. They used long-range weapons to shoot at each other unpreparedly. Most of the arrows were bounced aside by the stalactites. Only one or two arrows passed through the wind wall and hit the gray dwarf next to the mage.
This scene was expected by the players, and they began to disperse habitually, waiting for the opponent's fireball or poisonous arrow attack... and then continued to move forward.
But what they were waiting for was darkness. The gray dwarf mage roared and cast the dark spell. Then a large group of gray dwarf soldiers came out from behind the stalactite pillars. They roared while charging towards the players, and killed the first-line players.
The warriors and paladins fell to the ground, and then they drew out their throwing axes and threw them at the mage queue behind the warrior queue - the screams of the crowd foreshadowed heavy losses.
Immediately afterwards, two fireballs exploded behind the player queue, and the professional life players hiding behind were immediately affected... Xiao Fen watched this scene from a distance, and as soon as the battle started, he grabbed a halfling guide next to him and cast
The random door came here, and Yun Na held Shuiyun and teleported over. The woman's voice came from behind the mage, and it could be heard that there was some anger in the voice. It was the voice of a goblin, transformed into a human voice.
A lot of changes have been made.
Xiao Fen raised his eyebrows. He turned around and looked at the girl brought by the goblin - she was a cute druid with light freckles on her face. He frowned, and the goblin's abnormal behavior made him
I'm very confused. In fact, this druid has nothing to do with them. In the past!" the mage frowned and said coldly. The prince looked at Xiao Fen with a rare expression of pleading on his face.
Xiao Fen's heart moved, and he seemed to have thought of something...
