There are many words of advice among the people of Oras, one of which is: Don’t go against mages easily, especially those powerful ones among them.
Meng's answer brought about a short period of silence. Xiao Fen was thinking that the girls he had seen in Canaan seemed to be strong and independent. There were a few girls like Ke'er who laughed and laughed all day long and were full of energy. Of course, he would never
You would think that the latter is incapable.
Kuian raised his head. He had been thinking for a while, his eyes flickering. "Ms. Snow," he said, "I saw your shirt and armor changed color. You have changed. Don't you no longer believe in us?"
The path taken?”
Xue was stunned for a moment. "Yes, I have changed." She replied, "I don't want to explain too much. This is my own choice."
Almost everyone was at a loss. Only a few people could understand the conversation between the two, but Xiao Fen was one of them. He felt something stuck near his heart, which seemed to make his breathing faster. "Xue replied.
He said, the expression on his face seemed to be recalling something.
The Frog Prince yawned in the corner of the hall for this boring question and answer - at least he thought so. No one had noticed this short man before. Shuiyun was sitting next to him, sipping fruit wine, with a cute red face.
But no one noticed this little girl.
The elf was stunned. "Okay. If this is the road you want to take! Just use what I said to the guy in Quest: prove it with actions and see who of us is right and who is wrong! Although that
The guy has been engraved with his honor on the monument of Allenbisi forever..." It took him a while to find what he wanted to say.
Xue nodded lightly and slowly and asked in one step. It made me understand the relationship between giving and reward...and the other price may be too heavy. But Xue has never regretted it." The girl touched the black eyepatch with her fingertips.
Her skin as pale as paper and the dazzling black glow made everyone marvel at her strange beauty.
Kui'an remained silent. Yun Na stared at the elf with amber-like eyes, with strong vigilance, as if scolding him for his impoliteness.
The cast iron bar fell silent. Some people secretly recorded this video, and they found it very exciting - this was a confrontation of ideas, and it was difficult for ordinary players to have this sense of involvement. Only at this moment did these players realize that these few people in front of them were
It may not be unreasonable for a strong man to go one step further.
Meng noticed the embarrassment in the hall. She stood up and apologized to Xue. "Please forgive Kui'an for being reckless, sister Xue." She said, "I think everyone has their own freedom to choose their beliefs and ideals. Maybe we shouldn't
Continue to struggle on this topic.”
Xue smiled, and she was willing to change the topic. "So what are your plans now, Meng?" she asked. It seems that we have to continue on our way, so let's say goodbye to everyone here." Meng replied, a little surprised.
Meng nodded and patted Kui'an. "Then let's go out. Hmm. Kui'an?"
Kuian, who was a little distracted, was startled, and then showed a blank expression. "Ah? What did you just say, Ms. Meng."
Meng suddenly felt helpless and sighed softly. "Shen Wei Ke." Ke'er rolled her eyes... Safe, ma'am." Kui'an replied with a blushing face. "Then see you later, everyone."
So everyone said goodbye to them one after another. Sophia was still a little reluctant, thinking about how to get Xiao Fen to escort her along the way, but she thought of the consequences of doing so. So she quietly gave up the idea. When the three of them were all
After walking out of the bar, Xiao Fencai stared at their backs in the corner and whispered: "We will meet again soon."
After Meng and others left, the sun quickly set. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the news of Palin's return spread like wildfire. By the time the dusk turned dark, the Cast Iron Bar was already packed with people who wanted to see this legend of Everdark Town.
The real NPCs and players. It's a pity that the people who were shining with gold coins have already disappeared.
Then the night fell, and stars and diamonds filled the sky. The leaves rustled softly in the midsummer breeze, or mixed with the sound of the Grass River flowing south. The tranquility of the night covered up too many discordant things. It was like
People would never imagine that the clouds above Everdark hide a magnificent man-made wonder - Baenre's Tower of Clouds.
Of course, its last name has now been changed to Palin.
Two women - the little girl and Ke'er - spent an afternoon transforming one of the fighting rooms on the third floor. They ordered the iron golem to build a wall in the room, and transformed it according to their own wishes.
The other end of the wall was arranged as a warehouse, and the other end of the wall was arranged as a fully equipped kitchen. Naturally, there was a wooden door connecting the middle of the wall. Then came the purchase. A lot of gold coins were exchanged for food and souvenirs, which filled the warehouse half full. Of course, there were also
There are various kitchen utensils and silver and iron vessels.
Then the two girls took a fancy to the giant round table in the living room on the fourth floor. What made them even more satisfied was that it was connected to a terrace. So it was naturally arranged as a special restaurant for shining gold coins. The goblin said
There was a strong protest, but the protest quickly fizzled out under the crackdown.
The tower was very lively at the moment, and the circular corridors on each floor were hung with beautiful magical lights full of festive atmosphere. This was also arranged by the little girl and the female ranger. In Xiao Fen's opinion, although this shiny thing was indeed quite beautiful,
But its price is probably no different from a bunch of gold coins hanging on it.
The tempting aroma of food overflows from time to time in the kitchen, making people look forward to the upcoming dinner. But unfortunately the door is closed tightly. I don’t know what Xue and Ke’er, two shining gold-coined chefs, are busy in there. But Man Shi
He stood guard at the door. If he hadn't received a stern warning in advance, he would have probably killed him directly in the name of food with his gleaming orc double-headed ax.
At this time, Ke'er opened the door, and the smell of spices in the stew hit her nostrils along with the steam. Our half-orc almost trembled and went berserk because of the smell. The female ranger looked at the big man in front of her in surprise. "You."
What are you doing, Big Stone?" She asked, "Hey, why are you acting like you're facing an enemy? "I want to... want to help." Manshi stammered.
Ke'er's eyes turned slyly a few times. "Ahem! You're too greedy, Big Stone. We don't need your help here!" She coughed lightly, and then answered seriously, showing a frustrated expression.
Manshi's pitiful look finally made the female elf burst into laughter, "Haha, I lied to you, come in and help Sister Ke'er move something!"
Wrought Iron was sitting at the big round table in the dining room, staring blankly at the things on the wooden plate in front of him... "Oh, toast! I hate toast!" the dwarf shouted in frustration, "Look what this is. Oh, raisins.
Bread! I hate bread! And this damn hot milk! Oh my God, I want a hearty dinner, not these messy things! "Pray and thank your God." Xiao Fen's voice floated over from the terrace.
.chirped.
Yun Na took the silver tray with soup and sat down on the chair next to the dwarf. The tray in her other hand contained fragrant barbecue.
The dwarf's eyes immediately lit up. "Ah! Look what this is, mushroom soup! Come on Omodin, I haven't eaten snow stew soup for a year. Praise God, there is barbecue, I have completely seen hope
And light!" He swept away his previous gloomy expression and shouted excitedly.
The female mage looked at the dwarf with a smile, her blood-like eyes full of amusement. Not to mention that it is impolite for you to look at a dwarf like this. Although you brought me good news." In fact, someone was looking at the toy.
The look in his eyes was very uncomfortable, so Wrought Iron refused righteously. He asked with a smile. She put the barbecue in front of the dwarf. Tie Iron answered absentmindedly. His main attention was focused on the sizzling barbecue.
The oil droplets flowed along the golden skin and flowed into the iron plate, and the air was filled with the scent of pepper. The Master reminded.
Wrought Iron seemed to remember something, and his expression became unnatural. "I remembered!" He yelled, or rather screamed. "You are the mage that night, that silver woman!"
Yun Na smiled mischievously and nodded.
The fork he just raised in the dwarf's hand fell to the table with a clang, and his face turned pale as he had never shown fear even in the face of the evil dragon. "You... you... By the gods, this meal was not made by you.
Right?" He almost instinctively recalled the horror of that night, and the barbecue that this devil-like woman baked that could almost poison a dragon. Na replied. She praised from the bottom of her heart in the most pious tone, and then collapsed.
on the chair.
Xiao Fen didn't notice the conversation between the two people on the terrace. He had to focus more on dealing with the two nagging little girls in front of him - Sophia and Shuiyun. The terrace was designed very cleverly and beautifully.
, it extends along the outer wall of Yunzhong Tower, forming a delicate arc. On the outside of the terrace is a white stone handrail, wrapped with green vines, and the floor is carved with constellation patterns, corresponding to the bright stars in the sky. Almost
The clouds and mist that enveloped the entire Cloud Tower did not obscure this place, allowing people to view the earth from here.
The night wind fluttered the mage's robe. Xiao Fen was half leaning on the armrest, staring at the dark earth under the starry sky with bright eyes. Occasionally there were a few sparks in the distance, and he understood that they were players walking at night, or Kuian and the others were there.
Among them, he leaned against the stone railing and stared at the dark horizon with his bright eyes. The distance that the light could reach was the coastal hills. At that time, this was the closest road from Everdark Town to Burke. Players nearby often
You can do tasks or adventures in these hills, but it is very dangerous here after nightfall." Xiao Fen pointed to the east and said. The dark water of Xingchen Lake reflects the faint starlight, and sometimes you can clearly see the shadows of the mountains on the coastal hills through this dim light.
"I spent the night in the wild here! By the way, there is a two-headed giant boss in this hill!" Sophia immediately puffed up her chest and added, as if she was talking about her own eyes. "The captain is so strong at level 4.
Oh! "Squeeze your face!" Sophia immediately suggested with a straight face. "Little sister Shui refused.
Xiao Fen looked at these two little girls and shook his head helplessly.
Sophia, a little girl who never seems to grow up, is a bit naive. She is immersed in various dreams all day long. Her eyes are clear and carefree, and she believes that the world is such a simple road, and she just needs to keep walking.
Okay. But the things she pursues are too idealistic - whether it is the persistence of light and justice, or the worship of herself. But it is precisely this that makes people unable to bear to tell her the reality and cruelty of this world.
She had experienced the tragic battle of Allenby, and had seen life and death. Xiao Fen didn't know what she had learned from it. But this girl seemed to have more confidence, her clear eyes were firmer, and her body exuded
It represents the nobility of a knight.
Everyone was silently guarding this lovely girl. Xiao Fen vaguely felt that maybe this was not good. But he could only pray. I hope that this girl would gradually mature and find her own way.
As for the water halo, Xiao Fen still hasn't figured out why he brought this little guy with him. Maybe he can find some traces of Sophia in her, but she is more innocent because she is much younger. But these
It's not the key. The mage knows that there are some qualities in this little girl that infect him, maybe it's that indifference - her purpose of joining the team is just to travel, and she only cares about whether she and the people around her are happy.
"Maybe I think too much." Xiao Fen looked at the horizon silently. The night was like day to him, and he could even see the coastal plains, as well as the shining rivers and lakes.
The mage knew that just as the old guy Carlin said, the road ahead of him was still chaos.
"But what is my path?" Xiao Fen sometimes recalled the time when he first entered this world. He remembered that he once had a very simple goal and lived a simple and happy life. But that goal gradually became blurred. In the beginning,
After the long journey, he lost his original intention and gradually indulged in the pleasure of pursuing power. In the end, he even forgot why he wanted to pursue this powerful power, and was just pushed forward numbly by an invisible big hand.
"The blind pursuit of powerful power has made me lose the fun of the game. As Carlin said, power should serve a clear goal. It seems that I really should make a choice." He thought, "But now I have to do it.
What? What should we do?”
The mage looked back at the restaurant, and the warm orange light seemed to melt into his heart. He felt something, but he couldn't grasp the source of the feeling.
"Brother Palin, what are you thinking about?" the little girl asked.
Xiao Fen's train of thought was interrupted. He smiled and was about to answer when a strange message came into his mind. "System prompt: Magic alarm has been triggered."
Xiao Fen immediately closed his eyes. A vague figure appeared in his mind through magic. "Humph, the fish has entered the net." He patted Sophia's little head lovingly. "You two go in to eat first. I'll be quick.
return."
"Huh?" Shuixun and Sophia were slightly startled.
But the mage had already raised his hand, and a white halo enveloped his whole body.
When the next moment appeared, Xiao Fen returned to the place where the wretched Elf Demon Archer played offline during the day. As he expected, the guy was sneakily trying to escape. But the mage would never give him this chance.
"Order: Shock!" He chanted a magical spell.
The Magic Archer immediately lost control of his body. And, he soon found that he could no longer play offline. Those words of advice that were circulated, then he would definitely not try to play these tricks in front of the mage next time."
Xiao Fen said lightly.
Jiu couldn't speak and could only look at the mage in horror. "Xiao Fen raised his hand and cast a black tentacle of Ava, using this spell to replace the shock effect on the magic archer. Is it okay?" Jiu asked with some fear.
.The first thing he thought of was a traitor, and then he felt that this guess seemed a bit impossible. It was much more than what we imagined." Xiao Fen replied.
The elf magic archer still seemed to be a little confused about the way the mage in front of him chased the enemy. He opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn't say anything. He opened his mouth again, but still couldn't say anything. He said, "You can consider me now."
Did you propose this afternoon?”
Jiu was silent for a long time, and seemed to be aware of the current situation and couldn't help but not cooperate. He could only nod reluctantly. What organization of players?" Xiao Fen asked.
The elf was stunned for a moment, then remained silent. He looked at this guy and said after careful consideration: "Believe me, even if you don't tell me, I will get the information I need from your body. You understand, I am giving you a chance.
!”
The eagle was startled by the mage's words, and he didn't know what it was like. "I..." It's not easy for you to reach this level." The mage said while counting silently in his heart: "3 sentences."
The elf ranger hesitated." Xiao Fen further tempted him.
This sentence struck a chord with Jiu. He is a player after all. "I am...a member of the Hand of Despair." He hesitated.
"The Hand of Despair is the newly rising sect in the south?" the mage asked.
The eagle nodded.
"Why attack Weslan's envoys?"
The elf magic archer hesitated.
"Because she was an important figure in persuading the lords of Longcheng to form the Southern Alliance, right? She may even have led Longcheng to send back the troops that were transferred to the north during the Civil War and launch an attack southward." The mage said, "I'm right.
Bar?"
The eagle nodded.
"It's just as I expected." Xiao Fen narrowed his eyes and asked again: "What is the purpose of the hand of despair?"
"Establish a new order. Don't you think we are suppressing players now? Only such a war can reshuffle the power structure of Oras. This is an opportunity for us players to come forward." Jiujiu immediately replied.
"You don't have to seduce me, it's meaningless." Xiao Fen said coldly, "You are just poor people who are being used. In my opinion, players do not yet have the ability to determine the direction of Canaan's history and make their own decisions.
Things of power will have their own consequences.”
There was obvious contempt in the eyes of the Elf Demon Archer. "That's just an excuse for you players at the top. You are afraid that more players will endanger your interests. You are a bunch of selfish guys."
"Whatever you say." Xiao Fen said, "Let's continue with the next question. How do you plan to achieve this goal?"
"Use war! All those who stand in the way of the wheel of history can only be crushed to pieces!" Eagle said enthusiastically.
"Although I have no special feelings for other people's lives, I still want to ask - have you ever considered the consequences of war?" Xiao Fen asked curiously.
The eagle thought for a moment. "I understand what you want to say, but everything should have its price."
"No wonder there has never been a shortage of lunatics in history." Xiao Fen thought to himself. He continued to ask: "Do you know what kind of power is behind you?"
"I know you are talking about demons. This is no secret. They are our allies, but the main material plane is not suitable for them to survive. After the war, they will retreat into the abyss of sinking... All they need is killing and
It's just blood." The eagle replied methodically.
"You think so?" Xiao Fen couldn't help but be a little surprised, if the other party came to the above conclusion just by relying on speculation.
"No. That's what my pastor friend told me."
"Is it his own opinion?"
"No, he heard it from the priest."
"What else did they tell him?" Xiao Fen felt that he was approaching the critical point.
Jiujiu thought for a while, as if reminiscing. "They also spread the teachings of the New God. They said they would establish a new order, which would completely eliminate the current decadent upper-class nobles and inject new blood into the ruling class... probably
That's it. These have nothing to do with us players. I didn't deliberately remember them." "Interesting." The mage thought to himself. "What gods are included in the so-called new gods?"
The eagle shook his head blankly.
Then Xiao Fen asked a few more questions. More or less, he got a general outline of the Hand of Despair. He nodded with satisfaction and said to the eagle: "Very good. I am very satisfied with your answer."
"Then you can let me go?" At this moment, the Elf Demon Archer felt that this No. 1 mage in Canaan was actually quite easy to talk to, except for being a bit rigid.
"Of course, no."
"You!" The eagle's eyes widened. He believed in the mage." Xiao Fen casually erased the other person's life mark. He knew that this guy would definitely remember the danger of the mage this time. "I hope you still have extra angels.
Stone." He wished heartily.
When Xiao Fen returned to the restaurant, the first dinner after the meeting of Shining Gold Coins was about to begin - in the hall, Keer and Sophia were playing around as usual, and Xue was still quietly listening to their silver bell-like laughter; the dwarf was rough
He shouted to start dinner quickly, and Manshi rolled the last barrel of ale and just came in from the door; Shuixun held her chin and stared at the raisin bread in front of her with shining eyes; Yunna read a magic book, and the goblin twisted
Move your body and sit on the other side of her.
Everyone here is his partner. Even the three empty chairs on the southwest side of the round table, Xiao Fen knows who they are for. The mage gave a plain smile, and at that moment he suddenly understood what he should do next.
