Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dark Castle
Ye Fei, Zhao Siqing and others were talking and laughing while fighting monsters, time passed quickly, and soon it was evening. At this time, the tasks of several people have almost been completed, and only Ye Fei has a mercenary mission to find bloody grass that has not yet been completed.
He glanced at the tired women, and said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll go around here alone, and if I can't find it, I'll just give up." ”
Zhao Siqing said: "Then the others go back first, and I'll accompany you to find it for a while." ”
Sugar Candy and the little white rabbit pouted dissatisfiedly: "No, we also have to be with the landlord." ”
Mo Xiaoqi knocked on the heads of the two of them, and pretended to be serious and shouted: "Do the two little rabbit cubs want to be light bulbs, Sister Qing has already said it so clearly, you still don't understand?" ”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately laughed, and took Mo Xiaoqi's arm and waved to Ye Fei and Zhao Siqing: "Goodbye, landlord, goodbye, Sister Qing." ”
Zhao Siqing glared at Mo Xiaoqi, but knew that he couldn't defend himself at this time, the more he defended, the more energetic these girls became. After telling them a few words and sending them away, she and Ye Fei walked around in the swamp together.
The swamp was very large, and it was full of the smell of decay, even if Zhao Siqing had adjusted the virtuality to ten percent, this smell still faintly stimulated her sense of smell. Ye Fei looked as usual, just repeatedly studying the description of the task and checking the clues, but the description of this task was relatively vague and vague, and even the location was not directly stated, so players need to speculate.
Zhao Siqing also followed him to figure out the hints given in the mission: "'The West Mountain shrouded in thick fog, the smell of decay and stench mixed with the nasal cavity' - this sentence in the mission description should refer to this swamp, right? ”
Ye Fei nodded: "It should be, only this place in the entire West Mountain has dark clouds and mist, and the environment is similar, the same is full of stench." ”
Zhao Siqing didn't refute, but just groaned: "But I don't understand the next sentence, the castle in the dark, what castle is here?" ”
"Perhaps, in the fog?" Ye Fei raised his head and looked around, the sky was cloudy, but the fog was not thick, the fluttering mist was like silk, such a fog was not thick at all. Seeing this, he suddenly smiled with confidence: "I'm afraid we can't wait today." ”
Zhao Siqing saw his smile and was slightly stunned: "What do you say?" ”
Ye Fei turned his head to look at her: "What time of day is the fog the thickest?" ”
Zhao Siqing thought for a while: "It should be late at night to early in the morning, right?" ”
Ye Fei said: "You see, the mission description is written about the West Mountain shrouded in dense fog, I think this not only gives us a hint of a location, but also gives us a time, early morning, only in the early morning when the fog is the thickest, the castle in the dark will appear." ”
Zhao Siqing was a little unconvinced: "No, a mission is still so mysterious?" ”
"Maybe not an ordinary task?" Ye Fei laughed a little excitedly, the more interesting the task, the more interested he became, "Okay, you guys go offline to eat first, let's go back to Xishan first, and I'll come over by myself later." ”
Zhao Siqing nodded, and the two went offline to eat together. Mo Xiaoqi wondered for a moment when she saw them go offline, how could it be so fast, but after hearing Ye Fei's explanation, she thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to be like this, otherwise, it would be impossible to walk through the entire swamp and not see the shadow of the castle.
After eating, Ye Fei went online as soon as possible, first went back to Moster City and Xishan to return the mission, and then took some related mercenary tasks, and then rushed to the swamp non-stop, because he was leveling up for half a day, plus the lot of experience given by the task, Ye Fei was already level 19 and 45% experience, as long as he worked hard, it was not impossible to reach level 20 in the process of brushing the castle tonight.
When it was nearly midnight, Zhao Siqing suddenly grouped him into the team.
"Didn't you go on a mission? What, it's over? After Ye Fei joined the team, he clicked on Qingqing Zijin's attribute panel, and sure enough, in the profession column, the knight had become a guardian knight. The change of this title means that she has passed the training of a career mentor and has successfully changed jobs.
Zhao Siqing looked at Ye Fei's location on the electronic map, and said: "It's over, I just finished the last step and went to a copy, with the help of Brother Hao's two friends, so it's very easy." How's your mission going? ”
"While looking for it, farm monsters at the same time!" Ye Fei was a little helpless, because it was almost midnight, and the fog around him had become thicker, but he still couldn't see the shadow of the castle.
Zhao Siqing pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll come over to help you, after changing jobs, I also want to see how much my strength has improved." "After the Guardian Knight transfers, he will gain a passive skill, Guardian Heart, which increases all defense by 20%, increases HP by 10%, and can also learn a new active skill, Guardian Strike!
In other words, at this time, Zhao Siqing, even if the equipment on his body has not been replaced, his strength has also improved a lot.
However, Ye Fei smiled slightly, the Zhao Siqing he knew was not such an eager person, and the reason why he said this was probably because he was afraid that he would reject her kindness. But since everyone said so, Ye Fei didn't refuse, and after sending her a coordinate, he walked around the neighborhood and waited for her to come over.
This time, Zhao Siqing didn't take any tasks, he just accompanied Ye Fei, and even his usual schedule was broken. Ye Fei was a little reluctant, and after a change of heart, he asked, "Xiaoqing, do you want to establish a guild and develop your territory in the future?" ”
"Guilds may not be established, it's too troublesome to manage a guild, but in terms of territory, it is said that you can rent buildings in the city as your own buildings, and I plan to get one." Saying that, Zhao Siqing suddenly looked at Ye Fei curiously, "By the way, why don't you go to the hot-blooded college, it is the guild founded by Brother Hao, you are so famous now, if you join the hot-blooded college, there will definitely be many people who will come to visit, which will be of great benefit to the development of the guild." ”
"Oh? Am I famous now? Ye Fei looked at Zhao Siqing with an innocent face, as if he didn't know anything about his fame.
Zhao Siqing looked at him helplessly: "Of course, don't you know, you have obtained three glorious achievements in a row, and you are also a well-known figure in Most City, is there no one who invited you to join any big guild?" ”
"I usually keep the communicator off. When they came into contact with Lingyun's people, they expressed that meaning, but ......" Ye Fei smiled, took out the peep crystal and shook it at Zhao Siqing, "I designed to pit them with a thousand gold coins and some ores, and now they should have given up on me." ”
"Ah, the peep crystal is still in your hand?" Zhao Siqing also heard about the conflict between Ye Fei and Ling Yun afterwards, and grabbed the peep crystal, but hearing him say this now, not only did the crystal not return it to Ling Yun, but also pitted Ling Yun's people, she had never heard of this at all.
Ye Fei looked at Zhao Siqing with a confused expression, and simply said the previous things roughly, except for the name of the shadow of the night that was hidden, everything else was truthful. Zhao Siqing looked at him funny: "You guy, you have a lot of ghost ideas." I guess Ling Yun's people must have guessed that you arranged it, after all, there are not many people in that place, and how can it be so coincidental that there is an assassin hiding on the side? ”
Ye Fei shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "However, even if they know, what if they know?" They don't have any evidence, but I also recorded a video, threw it back to Ambiguous Wind and Rain, and then someone snatched it from her, and everything had nothing to do with me. ”
"Cunning fellow! That ambiguous wind and rain was choked enough by you. Zhao Siqing muttered, and said softly about the cause and effect of the incident and Ling Yun's actions in the recent past: "However, listen to Brother Hao, you are playing a game for the first time, you shouldn't know the ambiguous wind and rain, right?" You treated her like this to make Brother Hao angry? ”
Ye Fei pursed his lips and said: "This can be regarded as one of the reasons, the main reason is that Ling Yun is too arrogant, I want to mine, but I won't let me go, this mine belongs to all players, why did they occupy it?" ”
Zhao Siqing pursed her lips, and her tone was a little helpless and dissatisfied: "However, hot-blooded colleges and universities do the same." The big guild, even if it is a guild like Wind Dance and Night Song, which has always had a good reputation, or even a hot-blooded university, in the face of the interests of the guild, it still does something to exploit the rights of ordinary players. ”
Ye Fei looked at Zhao Siqing and heard that her tone was wrong, could it be that their 'Moxi' studio had also been treated unfairly like this? However, it can be heard that this tone should just be a subconscious dissatisfaction, not bitter hatred, even if 'Moxi' has been squeezed out by the Great Guild, it should have been a long time, otherwise Zhao Siqing's tone would not be so open.
After a pause, Ye Fei winked at her and said with a smile: "So, I don't like to join the guild. Well, a smaller elite team is enough, and I'm not interested in a big guild. "Compared to joining a big guild like Hot-blooded University, Ye Fei prefers to organize a small team, such as the killer organization led by the character of 'greedy wolf' that is being planned.
Zhao Siqing didn't know Ye Fei's thoughts, he just thought that he wanted to keep a low profile, and after smiling, he didn't dwell on this issue more.
At this time, the fog on the swamp was getting thicker and thicker, and there was almost no line of sight of less than five meters, and the two were close to each other for fear of separation. Around the swamp, there was also a strange bloody aura that suddenly hit, as if it came out of the dirt, so abruptly.
A blood-colored bright moon rose outside the dark clouds that shrouded the swamp, and the blood-like light penetrated the layers of dark clouds and dense fog, and fell on a certain part of the swamp, and in the blood light, the shadow of a huge castle loomed in the swamp.
