Chapter 9 The whereabouts of the sword of the king
"Ahem... As a professional player, you should see the deeper meaning behind this, kitten."
Standing under the street lamp nearby, the human mage Nyarlathotep put down the newspaper in his hand, pushed up his monocle, and spoke helplessly.
"First of all, according to the analysis report of the plot team, there were no activity records of monsters such as girl slimes in this world originally. But now that they appear, they will only be a brand-new secret product.
Then, their life structures have high value.
If we can use them as samples to deduce the life-refining secret method used by the reformer, even if it is only a part of it, its value will be enough to deduct 50,000 contribution points.
Secondly, you should know something about slime monsters. Their reproduction method is division and proliferation. If this kind of slime girl also has the characteristics of division and proliferation, then we can also try to breed some slime girls for sale.
"
The benefits of Slime Girl are displayed, and Naia’s analysis is clear and logical,
"Really? What's the result?"
Tiramisu's suspicious eyes drifted to Naia's side, where a light green elf slime girl was looking around curiously, making "Puff" sounds from time to time, turning heads astonishingly.
"I don't know whether it's due to their characteristics or some other reason, but they can't continue to split. The isolated gel will directly lose all activity. If they split into too large pieces, their lives will be endangered."
Not paying attention to the kitten's gaze, Naia touched the slime girl's head and continued to watch the target's movements amid the envious eyes of nearby players.
This time, the plot team of White Light Esports discovered a very important hidden plot mission, which was so important that their entire team reunited in a rare event.
As White Light's special foreign aid player, the Last Dragonborn was also brought back and returned to the team.
It is said that this operation involves the whereabouts of the legendary epic item in the empire [The Sword of the Chosen King].
The Sword of the Chosen King, also known as the Starfall Sword, was originally the sword of the emperors of the ancient magic empire. Its maker is no longer known. Emperor Gloria was the penultimate and most famous controller of the Sword of the Chosen King.
Among the people of the empire, the legend of Emperor Gloria and the Sword of the Chosen King is still circulated to this day, and there is more than one version. Countless children in the empire grew up listening to these stories.
In the most widely circulated version of the legend, the Sword of King Choosing has its own will and will select its holder on its own. Only those with the 'qualifications of a king' can truly exert its power.
But in the hands of Emperor Gloria, it exerted such power that it even chopped down the stars in the night sky.
But when the Great Emperor resigned from the imperial throne and passed the Crown of Stars and the Sword of the Chosen King to Gloria II, the II himself was unable to exert its power and could only use it as a symbol of imperial power and wear it when attending important occasions.
Then, one night hundreds of years later, the palace was attacked by a mysterious powerful man. In the chaos, the Sword of Choosing the King, which was closely guarded in the treasure house, was taken away by the enemy and has been missing ever since.
Even after the incident, the royal family arranged for ninth-level extreme experts to conduct a secret search and used countless materials including prophecy secret treasures, but in the end nothing was found.
"Attention, the target has taken action, we will follow."
Under the conscious or unconscious attention of several people, after a group of city guards passed by nearby, the vendor carrying a large basket looked around and suddenly turned into a nearby alley.
Seeing this, everyone stopped playing around and started to get serious.
Connected with the vision of several gray skylarks flying from high in the sky, the half-elf ranger [Tutu Ji] shared the vendor's movement track to the team map in real time to prevent everyone from getting lost.
"The other party stopped in a dead end, seeming to be waiting for something... Wait, there is an unknown person in the alley, and the two are suspected of being engaged in some kind of transaction!"
At this time, the previously silent half-elf ranger suddenly spoke.
"Don't alert the enemy for the time being. In this way, we will continue to monitor. Dragonborn, please, you and the kitten can follow the mysterious man. It is best to investigate his identity. If you lose him, just come back directly."
After thinking about it, Naiya made an immediate decision.
As the former captain of the team, there is no doubt about the ability of the Last Dragonborn. And the opponent is likely to meet other targets, so it is not appropriate to separate too many people.
"good."
With a brief agreement, the last dragonborn immediately set off, activated an invisibility amulet that blocked his own aura, and took tiramisu to take a shortcut to the target location.
After a moment, the previous vendor and another professional wearing an ordinary dark blue robe with no identifying information appeared in their field of vision to observe the props.
Under the secret observation of the two men, the vendor chatted with the man in blue for a few words, took out a small box from the basket and handed it to the other person, and then left as if nothing had happened.
But the figure in the blue robe did not leave, but continued to stand still.
"Is he waiting for something, or have we been discovered?"
Tiramisu's fluffy cat ears twitched, a little confused.
"Wait, something is wrong."
Suddenly, the last dragonborn frowned, and a faint cyan glow lit up in his left eye.
The next moment, he quickly made a gesture, and an invisible mage's hand flew out, grabbed the hand crossbow that Tiramisu had left nearby, pointed it at the man in blue robe and pulled the trigger.
The sharp black crossbow arrow instantly hit the blue-robed man's body, but it seemed to penetrate the air without encountering any obstruction. At the same time, a green ray instantly shot out in the opposite direction of the attack, directly breaking the hand crossbow into sand.
dust.
"It's Phantom. He has already left. Let's leave quickly."
Sensing the spreading magic power fluctuations, the last dragonborn frowned.
Using powerful magic in a big city can easily attract guards. If the guards of the royal capital discover that they are near the source of magic fluctuations, they may get into unnecessary trouble.
"Dragonborn, please pay attention, kittens, there is a group of guards passing by!"
In the team channel, Tutu Ji's slightly anxious voice sounded. At the same time, several rapidly approaching red dots appeared on the map.
Without any time to say anything, the Last Dragonborn and Tiramisu quickly fled in the opposite direction, narrowly missing the guards.
"Huhu - it's so dangerous, I almost fell into the hands of those guards."
He ran to another alley in the lower city in one breath, patting his chest lightly with Tiramisu, looking at the elf beside him who looked normal, and his breathing accelerated slightly.
"Also, what happened to your eyes just now?"
"What do you mean? This is a special power I obtained on an altar in a hidden ruins. I'm still exploring its specific effects."
Looking at the curious kitten next to him, the Last Dragonborn touched his left eye, which glowed a faint cyan, and explained.
"We lost the pursuit, what should we do now, return?"
"No need. When they were talking just now, the special ability of my left eye had already marked that person's aura. I can sense the direction of his body, which is not far from here."
"That's really convenient...but now, there are only two of us left here~"
Looking in the direction indicated by the elf with some surprise, Tiramisu suddenly bent his tail, poked the elf's forearm, and his tone suddenly became a little seductive.
"What do you want to do?"
His eyebrows twitched, and the elf looked at tiramisu speechlessly.
Do the half-cat people in this game have estrus?
"Look, there is a hole in the wall over there, and the target happens to be in that direction. How about I go through that hole and take a shortcut?"
The black-eyed cat-eared girl did not answer directly, but pointed to a hole in the wall of the alley with a mysterious look on her face, and there was some strange expectation in her tone.
"If you get stuck in the hole, I'll help you put your picture on the wall."
Glancing in the direction of the kitten's finger, the elf couldn't help but hold his forehead.
