Chapter 32 The Forum is Open
Soon, the people in the sea of fire suddenly felt a chill.
It was as if I had just come out of the sauna and was blown in the face by the extremely cold air conditioner. The whole person was excited, and he woke up in an instant.
And that's not a delusion—
I saw that the sea of fire on Don Juan's side, the temperature and altitude were dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. Three seconds later, the flames were forcibly extinguished. There were only a few flames left, still stubbornly clinging to the ground and shaking.
Players trapped in the fire, see their young lord standing outside.
He was flanked by a huge wall of fire with a height of nearly five or six meters, accompanied by thick black smoke billowing up.
But the black smoke couldn't get close to Don Juan Geraint.
I saw that his mouth and nose exhaled a white frost breath, his skin became unusually pale and bloodless, and his eyes burned with blue light.
His cuffs and trouser legs continued to spew out a stirring white chill. The frost-white mist floated tightly on the ground, slowly rippling outward in circles like water waves.
The ground, which had just been burning with flames, quickly cooled down, cracking one after another, and fine frost solidified on the ground.
"Lord Lord......"
"Thank you very much, Don Juan."
The players immediately saluted Annan, and the salute was also messy...... They were also a little worried about whether it would be taboo or something.
But soon, they realized that Annan did not look at them at all.
Annan's gaze was fixed on a corner.
The eyes that were as cold and merciless as winter, staring straight into the empty corner—
Just when the players were at a loss, they suddenly heard two screams from that corner:
"Lord Geraint, I—We surrender......"
"Help, help! It's so cold, I'm going to die......"
I saw two people slowly peeling out of the shadows over there, their bodies were wrapped in clumps of frost, and they curled up on the ground and let out a fainter and fainter cry: "Help! Lord Geraint......"
The players' pupils dilated slightly.
Whether it was in the sea of fire or outside the sea of fire, they all set their eyes on it for the first time.
It dawned on them in their hearts.
No wonder I couldn't find the last two people......
They can hide invisibly!
In the face of the two begging for mercy, Annan did not waver in the slightest.
There was no smile on his immature countenance. He just chuckled, as if he had just taken a puff of cigarette, and spat out a puff of frosty white mist.
"Surrender...... Is it? Do you want to surrender? ”
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a cold air seeped from his snow-white fine teeth.
Under the reflection of the dancing firelight, his expression was even colder.
"Yes! We surrender! ”
"We know all the secrets...... Please go around our lives! We can testify for you—"
"Oh, surrender. What a gentle word, even if you want to murder me just now, according to the rules of the nobles, I can't kill the soldiers......
"-That's what you think, right?"
Annan showed a bright smile, and his slightly curved eyes were full of gentle smiles: "But I'm sorry, dear...... There was no surrender between us.
"You're the first to break the rules. You don't call it revenge — it's murder. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to the two men and spread it upward.
"No...... No! ”
"Forgive me, Silverlord...... Please...... Adult ......"
The two of them watched Annan's movements, extremely frightened and stammering in pleading.
But Annan showed not the slightest mercy.
He just showed a cheerful, gentle, elegant smile and slowly withdrew his little finger one by one.
With each little finger he withdraws, the frost marks on the two men get thicker and thicker. By the time the five fingers were fully withdrawn and clenched into fists, they were motionless, their eyes wide and they had lost their breath.
Their faces were distorted by intense pain and fear, and their eyes were wide and frosty, like fish in a refrigerator.
This cold, resolute and almost cruel scene made players can't help but hold their breath for a while.
At the same time, the ice chips that were constantly emitting around Annan also reflected the firelight. His whole being was like a god, shining in the night.
When the two people died everywhere, Annan turned around, and the frost around him gradually dissipated.
His smile was faint, distant, and polite, far less bright than it was when he faced the two men. But it gives people a strong sense of trust.
"Welcome, my loyal guards."
Annan said slowly, his voice was cold and pleasant: "Forty people, all of them." No one betrayed me, no friend left me.
"I'm sorry, I was supposed to be cleaning up for you. Because of the previous incident, I don't have the energy or money to hold a banquet for you for the time being. I hope you will understand me...... When our days are good, I will definitely make up for today's banquet. I think it must have been a lavish and lively banquet. ”
Annan's voice was small, and his expression was serious: "I do what I say." ”
After that, he paused, and added in a small voice, "Welcome...... Get home safely. ”
At this time, the player's eyes also appeared with a mission prompt:
[Mission Complete: Kill all Roseburg Private Forces (114/114) and destroy or control all Black Flames (50/50) in 30 minutes]

[But today, the frozen water port is still facing a catastrophe. 】

"Oh, yes."
Annan suddenly turned around: "Yiyi, stray children, delicious wind geese, the three of you will remember to come with me in a while." ”
At this moment, Lin Yiyi suddenly crossed a curtain of light in front of her eyes.
[Your friendship with Don Juan Geraint has risen]
[Currently trusted (0/1500)]
She looked around and looked at the other two.
From their eyes, Lin Yiyi got the information she wanted.
Sure enough, they are the same......
Is the reward of 100% additional completion directly increased by one level of current opinion?
So what's left?
If Annan could know what she was thinking, he would definitely be happy to solve her puzzles - the reward for 40% completion is, of course, a 40% increase in favorability!
What a fair, useful, balanced reward that doesn't cost anything!
Oh, and the other hidden bonus is that the three of them will live closer to Annan......
This may be considered "different" for players, right?
But the rest of the players didn't bother to discuss completion.
After making sure that he could walk with Annan and visit the forum at the same time, all the players entered the player forum almost without exception.
One by one, the players followed Annan's ass like zombies with their heads down and lifelessly.
From a distance, it looks particularly terrifying.
Only one person did not enter the forum......
I saw Jiu'er following Annan curiously, staring at him tightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and a strange smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
But Annan felt a chill inexplicably.
It's not malicious, but it makes him a little hairy inexplicably.
Hell, what the hell was she thinking......
But Annan was still happy after all.
After a player guards Frozen Water Harbor. At least I can rest assured that I can advance to the dungeon......
At least don't worry, the entire Frozen Water Harbor has been burning since the dungeon came out.
And...... Roseburg will have to deal with it too.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He just felt that at this time, he probably needed to be angry.
