Chapter Seventy-Four: Cloud Punishment of Evil
It was the third pole of the day, the warm sun sprinkled on the crowded post station in Greentown, and the earth-colored leaf marks jumped down from the flying mount Dragon Eagle, and it took several minutes to calm down the nausea of the stomach churning over the river. If it weren't for the fear that the value of good and evil would not be enough, he would rather force his way into the city than suffer such inhuman torture again.
Shuttling through the boiling crowd, Leaf Scar's steps were fast, and the place he was going to was the Assassin Guild in the heart of Green City. After the specialty skills in the game are upgraded to the advanced level, if you break through the bottleneck again, you will have to accept the advanced task, the last time in the Loulan Flame Valley, it was the unfathomable Feng Xingshan who helped Ye Zhen break through the bottleneck and was promoted to the expert level, this time, he didn't have such good luck, and he had to go to the assassin guild to accept the advanced task in a regular manner.
In the game, organizations such as professional unions that serve the public will basically be located in the center of the main city to facilitate players who have reached the bottleneck and come to break through. The Assassins' Guild is a quaint and silent towering castle, located on the westernmost side of several professional unions, and the whole building is mainly gray and black.
Stepping into the union hall, at this time, the players who were waiting in line in front of the NPC counter had formed several long queues, seeing this scene, Ye Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it seems that the assassin profession in the game is still quite popular.
Joining a long dragon formation, Ye Zhen couldn't help but pay careful attention to the dress of these ordinary players, and what amazed him was that most of the assassins in the hall were wearing black cloaks on top of their heads, and even the few assassins who were chatting next to Ye Zhen were all dressed in this kind of cloak.
If you remove the height, the players in the hall can be said to be carved out of a mold, because the black cloak covers almost all parts of their body.
"Interesting." Seeing this scene, the corners of Ye Zhen's mouth involuntarily sketched a smile, the more assassins dressed like this, the more beneficial it would be for someone like him who needed to hide his identity.
Just when Ye Zhen was secretly happy, a bright white light suddenly appeared on the body of an assassin player at the front of the long dragon, and then a joyful ghost cry howl resounded in the hall, "Haha, Lao Tzu has finally broken through the bottleneck and risen to a high-level dagger mastery, a group of scumbags, worship!" ”
"Tsk, great god, advanced specialty skills, I heard that you can increase weapon damage by 50%!"
"Wow, it's amazing, it's so fast to be promoted to the advanced level, and people are still here to break through the intermediate bottleneck!"
"Roar chicken feathers, isn't it just to break through to the advanced level, Lao Tzu is also here to break through the bottleneck of the advanced level, what to drag!"
"That's it, at first glance, it's a turtle, my proficiency was full a few days ago, but only now do I have time to break through!"
"Silly x, you are a god thorn black funeral, or a hundred shadows of maple leaves, hurry up and roll Lao Tzu!"
"That's right, there is also Loulan's Flying Man without a trace at night, and someone can crush you to death with a little thumb!"
“……”
Under the taunts of the crowd, the turtle assassin, who was trying to show his superiority because of his excitement, suddenly crawled out of the hall in a gloomy manner. There are many masters in the game, and if you don't have the ability to get a little bit, the result of wanting to be in the limelight is to be sprayed to the ground, and you will lose face in public.
"Maple Leaf without a trace?" Hearing this title, Ye Zhen only felt that his eyes were dark, and he suddenly became a little messy, could it be that if these guys don't add a few words to the title before their names, there will be less meat on their bodies?
The scalp was slightly numb, and Ye Zhen was helpless, so he had to silently follow the people in the front row to move to the counter. After all, his mouth grows on other people's bodies, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop everyone's mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Ye Zhen's eyes appeared in front of Ye Zhen's eyes with the professional smile of the black-clothed NPC on the counter, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but it was finally his turn.
"Dear Mr. Assassin, what can I do for you?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhen immediately replied politely, "Hello, I'm here to break through the bottleneck of my expertise." ”
"Okay, please wait a minute." Hearing this, which was no different from the request of ordinary players, the black-clothed NPC nodded calmly, and then raised his eyes and glanced intently at Ye Zhen's body a few times. Soon, his mouth opened into an 'O' shape, and his face was full of disbelief. After a long while, he came back to his senses, bowed and said, "I'm very sorry sir, your current specialty skill level is beyond the scope of our authority, if you want to break through the bottleneck above the expert level, please go to the second floor of the union to find the elder!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, and the eyes of all the players shifted to Ye Zhen's body. At this time, the game is still in the early stages, and most players' specialty skills are still hovering between intermediate and advanced, but this perverted guy is about to break through the expert-level bottleneck!
In an instant, the boiling sound like a tide was about to drown out the entire union hall, and several completely different voices such as screaming exclamations, disdainful doubts and crazy worship were suddenly intertwined, and even some girls who wanted to know Ye Zhen's name actually rubbed their graceful body desperately against Ye Zhen's body, hoping to receive an anti-scratching system prompt, so as to know the name of this guy.
"Damn!" Seeing this crazy scene in front of him, Ye Zhen's head suddenly became several times larger, and he rushed to the wooden staircase leading to the second floor with a flash, and he had to be driven crazy by these people if he stayed any longer.
In fact, Ye Zhen can't know the bottleneck above the expert level, and the NPCs in the union hall can't break through, you must know that in his previous life, he only mastered the dagger to the advanced level, and there is still a certain distance from the expert level, so there will be such a farce.
"Master, don't run, accept me as an apprentice!"
"Big brother, leave a name!"
"Ask the master for advice, how can I quickly upgrade my specialty skills, I'm playing a level 20 little monkey every day, how can I still be intermediate, woo!"
"Woo, the master is waiting for someone..."
Seeing Ye Scar climb the old wooden staircase, many people in the hall suddenly became anxious and chased after the staircase.
However, just as they were about to step up the wooden staircase, a black shadow suddenly appeared, blocking their way, and said with an expressionless face, "The elder is only responsible for helping assassins above the expert level break through the bottleneck, and those who dare to trespass will be confined for three days." ”
Iron Mask's selfless words came, and the crowd that came in suddenly took several steps back, and was locked up in a small black room for three days, and absolutely no player could stand it.
"How did this NPC come about?" I just climbed up to the second floor, and after seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be very puzzled, and I didn't know where this guy was hiding just now, how he acted silently like a ghost.
Seeing that all the players had retreated, the black-clothed NPC on the ground flashed again, pulled out a looming black shadow, and disappeared from Ye Scar's sight again, moving so fast that it was simply unheard of.
"What a speed!"
Seeing this, Ye Zhen muttered to himself, and then moved his gaze to the space on the second floor. It is conceivable that if an NPC guarding the door of the Assassin Guild is so strong, wouldn't their elders be going against the sky?
Looking around at the surrounding pictures, Ye Zhen found that compared to the hall on the first floor, the light on the second floor was obviously much darker, and it was divided into many huts, and there was no human figure in the corridor where there was no end in sight, and the silence made people palpitate.
"Which one is the president of the Assassins' Guild?" Looking at the endless small rooms on both sides, even though Ye Zhen's scalp was a little numb, he also knew that the masters were masters who liked to be quiet, so he didn't dare to make noise without permission, so he had to push open the door and look for it one by one.
As the dim and empty rooms were revealed, Ye Zhen's door pushing action became more and more proficient, and he didn't know how many huts he had checked, when he pushed open a very ordinary small wooden door again with a numb mentality, only to hear a squeak, a middle-aged man in a blue cloth robe appeared in Ye Zhen's sight, and was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed in the room to rest and meditate.
However, this picture only existed for less than 1 second, and before Ye Zhen could fix his eyes on the blue-robed middle-aged man sitting cross-legged for a few moments, only to hear the sound of brushing the ground, he actually appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Zhen only half a foot in front of him, a pair of sharp eagle eyes stared closely at Ye Zhen's right hand hidden under the cloak, and his whole body seemed to tremble slightly!
Teleport!
Ye Zhen was almost certain that the blue-robed man who appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air just now was definitely not an effect that could be achieved by relying on pure speed. Because when this terrifying mysterious person appeared in front of his eyes, not only did he not feel the slightest sound of wind, but even the air flow in the air did not fluctuate in any way, this guy crossed a distance of five or six meters out of thin air and appeared in front of his eyes!
Breathing was slightly difficult, and just as Ye Zhen wanted to ask if the blue-robed man in front of him was the president of the Assassin Guild, a slightly excited voice spit out from the other party's throat first.
"Adventurer, can you tell the old man how you got that dark red dagger in your hand?" said such a short sentence, but the dark black eyes of the blue-robed man flickered at least 10 times, and it could be seen that he was suppressing some emotions.
"The Blade of Good and Evil?" At first glance, hearing the other party's idea of fighting his own legendary-level weapon, Ye Zhen subconsciously took a step back, and then glanced at his right hand hidden in the cloak a few times.
To Ye Zhen's surprise, he couldn't see anything unusual in his wide cloak from the outside, not even the slightest sign of bulging, let alone holding a dagger in his hand. How did you see the unfathomable blue-robed man in front of him?
"You don't have to worry, the old man has no bad intentions, he just wants to see your dagger. Well, the old man is the president of the Assassins Guild of the Green Kingdom, and he can vouch for his reputation and surname, and he will definitely not be untrustworthy. Of course, if you still can't trust the old man, then you can only do it. ”
After finishing speaking, the blue-robed man's gaze quietly stayed on Ye Zhen's body, as if waiting for Ye Zhen's decision. The system has a hard surname rule, even if the NPC has peerless force, unless the player voluntarily, it cannot force any equipment in the player's hand.
"The president of the Assassins' Guild?" Hearing this, Ye Zhen muttered to himself, and then carefully looked at the blue-robed person in front of him, and soon he found that this leader, whether it was his speech and demeanor or his dress, did not have the flavor of a person from the Green Kingdom at all, but was very similar to a person from the Ling Heaven Empire in the north of the continent.
After thinking for a while, Ye Zhen's eyes flickered a few times, but he still didn't dare to easily put the legendary weapon Good and Evil Blade into the hands of a strange NPC, so he asked further, "May I ask what to call you?" ”
"Old man, the clouds punish evil!"
