Chapter 67: An Unexpected Identity
Ye Fei wanted to know who had issued the task of assassinating him, but unfortunately, it was impossible for the mercenary union to publish the information of the publisher of the anonymous mission, and Cage refused Ye Fei's request with a look of embarrassment. Not to mention a bronze mercenary, even a gold-level mercenary is unlikely to get any news here.
However, Ye Fei didn't blame him, the rules were like this, just like the mercenary team in reality, they would keep their patrons secret. If you can't do that, you don't deserve to be a mercenary.
Ye Fei picked a few tasks that he didn't think was troublesome and had a decent reward, and left Moster City late at night and headed towards the location of the task.
The task is not troublesome, just kill some monsters and get some props. There are many players who go out of the city late at night, although the night will blur the vision, but because there is a special 'inextinguishable torch' for sale in the city, as long as you bring the torch, you can make the range of tens of meters around the body bright, and this torch does not need to be held in your hand, it will automatically float above the player's head. Some people jokingly call it a small sun.
It wasn't until the sky was twilight and the eastern sky in the game was white, that Ye Fei completed the task and returned to the mercenary union to hand over the task. Afterwards, Cage enthusiastically introduced Ye Fei: "Lord Night Hidden Bow, our tavern has already opened, if you are interested, you can go over there for a drink." ”
After tossing for a night, even Ye Fei felt a little tired, he listened to Cage's suggestion and walked to the tavern on the side of the inquiry. Because it was early in the morning, there were basically no players in the tavern, just some NPCs who looked very well-equipped.
When Ye Fei walked in, a woman like a beautiful young woman immediately shouted towards him: "Hey, cute little guy, let's come over and have a drink together." ”
A big man next to the young woman laughed: "Poisonous scorpion, are you going to hook up with Xiaobaiyan again?" ”
Ye Fei smiled at the two of them, if it weren't for the fact that the names on the top of their heads were NPC's unique green instead of the player's blue font, he would really think that these people were all dressed up in real people. Ye Fei stepped aside, took out a gold coin and threw it to the bartender behind the bar, and then nodded at the young woman who was called the poisonous scorpion, and said with a smile: "Bring a cup to that lady." ”
The bartender nodded with a smile and quickly began to mix the wine. But the 'poisonous scorpion' was not pleased, and cried out: "Madame? Oh my God, little one, you actually call me Madame? Can't you see that I'm still a young lady? ”
"Miss!" Ye Fei almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, well, no one on earth would say that about himself anymore, this woman is indeed an NPC. He smiled and said, "I didn't mean to offend, please forgive me for being rude." ”
The 'poisonous scorpion' seemed to be full of affection for Ye Fei, she took the wine glass handed by the bartender, twisted her waist and walked over: "For the sake of this glass of wine, I forgive you for being rude." Young kid, what do you call it? ”
"Hide the bow in the night!" Ye Fei leaned on the bar, his face relaxed and comfortable, with an inexplicable evil smile, "Could it be that the poisonous scorpion is your name?" Oh, no kidding, you don't deserve such a name. ”
'Poisonous Scorpion' laughed exaggeratedly, but it was a good smile, crisp with a bit of seductive charm: "Haha, my name is Martina, you can call me Tina, Marty, it's okay!" ”
Ye Fei raised his glass and touched her gently: "Then, Marty, it's a pleasure to meet you." Taking a sip of his drink, he shrugged his shoulders slightly, his movements as graceful as the oldest aristocratic gentleman, "You know, it's a very face-saving thing to know a beauty like you." ”
Matilna's eyes widened, and she couldn't stop smiling, "Oh, listen, little one, your mouth is as sweet as honey, ah, what you say makes me love it." ”
Ye Fei's smile became brighter and brighter, and he almost forgot that the woman in front of him was an NPC. What a bright red and attractive woman, such a person could be an NPC? Even Ye Fei couldn't believe his feelings, flirting with NPCs in the game, this kind of ridiculous thing was actually done by himself.
He coughed dryly, and was about to restrain a little, when a figure suddenly appeared next to him, and slapped it heavily on the table between Ye Fei and Matilna, she glanced at Matilna lightly, and snorted coldly: "Poisonous scorpion, don't touch our people." I know your hobby, and you can do whatever you want in the city, but don't touch our people, or I'll cut off your tail myself. ”
When she saw this man, Matilna was like a cat and a mouse, and her face suddenly turned pale. Ignoring any manners, he quickly took a few steps back with a smiling face, threw some silver coins on the table, and then hurriedly left the mercenary tavern.
Ye Fei looked at Linda with a sneer on his face helplessly, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Miss Linda, why are you here?" This Martina ......," he groaned, wondering what to say.
Linda glanced at Ye Fei and sneered: "Adventurers, you really like to walk on the edge of the tightrope, and you dare to touch many things that we dare not touch." Do you know who Matilna is and how she got her nickname? ”
Ye Fei was stunned, listening to her tone, this Matilna seemed to be very embarrassed?
Linda looked at Ye Fei's expression, and casually beckoned the big man who had talked to Matilna before: "Tell him, why is that called 'poisonous scorpion'"
The big man seemed to be quite jealous of Linda, and he laughed dryly, and said, "Matilna likes men, especially young men, and she likes to meet all kinds of young men in the tavern, and then take them back to her house, and after a night of romance, the next day those men will be a shriveled corpse." ”
Ye Fei gasped, although she knew that this 'poisonous scorpion' was definitely not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that she was really a 'poisonous scorpion', killing people without blinking.
Linda sneered, "Got it now, right? ”
"Got it!" Ye Fei nodded honestly, and at the same time was also very curious, what was the origin of this Linda, it seemed that not only Martina and this big man were very afraid of her, but even the other mercenaries in the tavern changed their faces when she appeared, and the originally active tavern atmosphere suddenly condensed into ice.
Linda nodded with satisfaction: "It's pretty much the same." By the way, I'm here to tell you about Bass's whereabouts. ”
"Did you find Bass?" Ye Fei was stunned, this efficiency is too high, I just mentioned it to him yesterday, and I have found it after only a day and a night?
Linda nodded, very impressed by Ye Fei's surprised look: "Our assassin guild is originally first-class in listening to information. Ahem, Buzz is hiding in the town of Knightling under a disguise, and if you want to find him, go there. ”
Ye Fei frowned: "A pseudonym, then what is his name now?" ”
Linda rolled her eyes: "Do you want me to tell you about this kind of thing?" You can find out for yourself, but I can warn you to be careful when you get to the town of Knightling, and don't show any of your feet, Bass is not a normal person to be left to your disposal. If you need help, you can use this order to temporarily mobilize the town's guards and capture or kill Buzz on the spot, you know? With that, Linda took out a sheepskin scroll and threw it to Ye Fei, "Take good care of it, don't lose it." ”
Ye Fei took the scroll in wonder, this Linda's identity is really becoming more and more mysterious, and she can actually mobilize the guard NPCs in the town at will? What the hell is she? After Ye Fei nodded his understanding, he repeatedly asked Linda to stay for a drink, but to no avail, so he could only watch her leave the tavern.
As soon as Linda left, Ye Fei immediately heard a relieved voice suddenly emerge from the dull tavern, and he looked at these NPC mercenaries with renewed smiles on their faces in surprise, wasn't it just the receptionist in the Assassin Guild tavern? As for being so cautious, and the few assassins, they sneaked away as soon as Maolinda appeared, and now they sneaked back again?
The big man who had just been questioned by Linda came over and patted Ye Fei on the shoulder: "The young man is really good, he has received special care from Lord Linda, hehe, the future is limitless." ”
Linda...... My lord? Ye Fei looked dazed, could it be that this Linda still has some special identity? He remembered the first time he saw her, she was still lying on the counter and sleeping, such a person is still a great person?
His expression made the mercenaries in the tavern look at each other, and the big man asked cautiously, "You don't know the identity of Lord Linda?" ”
Ye Fei muttered, "Isn't it just the tavern receptionist of the Assassin Guild?" ”
"Receptionist!" The corners of Dahan's mouth twitched into a strange arc, and he said, "That's indeed her job, but she has another identity." ”
"What identity?" Ye Fei asked patiently, feeling very unhappy with this big man's betrayal.
Dahan also saw that Ye Fei was impatient, and hurriedly said: "He is the youngest elder in the Assassin Guild, and he will become an elder of the Guild when he is in his twenties, firstly, because of her outstanding talent, she is already very strong in her twenties, and at the same time, her background is also terrifying, she is the sister of the Archon of Most City, and in addition to the elder of the Assassin Guild, she is also the deputy commander of the Expeditionary Force of Most City!" ”
Ye Fei smacked his mouth, reminisced about this big man's words, then shook his head, and said with some confusion: "Even so, this is not enough to make you so ...... Be in awe of her, right? Ye Fei's words are euphemistic enough, what awe, when this group of guys saw Linda, they were like a group of grandchildren, and they were afraid to death one by one, which was obviously jealousy.
Dahan's face suddenly fell, and he said aggrievedly: "It's not because in the extermination campaign seven years ago, she led twenty or thirty soldiers of the expeditionary force to kill hundreds of people in the encirclement, and when the consul sent someone to meet her, she was covered in blood plasma, and the whole person seemed to have been soaked in a pool of blood." But without saying a word, she killed the three mercenaries who betrayed them with her own hands. There were more than 30 people, and she just killed them one by one, and she killed them all! Since then, she has a bad impression of the mercenaries, and every time she comes over, she will find us trouble, and today she didn't talk too much, which is already extraordinarily gracious."
When Dahan said this, the whole tavern was silent, and everyone's faces were filled with grief, resentment, sadness, helplessness, and sighs.
Ye Fei glanced at them and let out a leisurely breath: "That's right, as a mercenary, betraying your compatriots is damned!" ”
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen sharp eyes immediately pierced him, and Ye Fei believed that if it weren't for the mercenary tavern, a place where killing people was explicitly forbidden, these guys would definitely kill themselves on the spot.
