Chapter 223: Great Gathering! Holy Emblem City! (I) (the second day of the Lunar New Year.)
2 hours and 20 minutes after the server is shut down......
Lin Yue rode a small pill and galloped on the road, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, Lin Yue glanced back, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Mo Yan's mount was a jujube red horse, with a golden magic array under his feet, indicating that it was blessed with some kind of magic that increased his movement speed, and Mo Yan rode it to catch up with Lin Yue in the blink of an eye.
"Are you the only one?" Lin Yue glanced at Mo Yan's side, but he didn't see Ou Peikun's person.
"She decided to give it a go anyway, so she stayed there alone." Mo Yan smiled bitterly.
"What about you? Don't stay? If that punishment can really turn you back into a normal player and get rid of the curse of the artifact holder, don't regret it. Lin Yue said with a smile.
"I trust your judgment." Mo Yan said lightly.
"Even if you say that, I won't be responsible." Lin Yue said.
"Please rest assured, everything is my personal choice, and it has nothing to do with you, Brother Tuhao." Mo Yan smiled bitterly.
Holy Emblem City, which belongs to the second-level city, is a map that has not yet been opened in the game. It is located at the junction of the east of the demons and the west of the Terrans, less than 50 kilometers from the fortress of Baidur, and according to its geographical location, it should belong to the Terran territory.
Lin Yue flipped through the memories of the previous life and knew that it was the entire Adras Continent, a few places that could connect the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, and the Light Alliance and the Dark Council seemed to have already made an agreement that during the Hundred Years' War, the Holy Emblem City would be used as a bridge between the two places, and no matter what disputes occurred in the future, the use of force in the Holy Emblem City would not be allowed.
In other words, the Holy Emblem City is a United Nations-like existence for the Eastern and Western Continents, and it is also one of the few neutral maps in the game that can allow players from both factions to coexist.
"As long as you cross this mountain, there is the Holy Emblem City in front of you!"
Lin Yue and Mo Yan worked non-stop, and finally arrived near the Holy Emblem City within the time limit of the event announcement. Since it was night, along the rugged mountain road, the two of them could only slow down without any lighting, but there was plenty of time, and the two were not worried that they would not be able to catch up.
System: Warning! An artifact holder appeared nearby, located 998 meters west-northeast!
System: Warning! An artifact wielder appears nearby, 990 meters west-northeast!
……
Seeing that the Holy Emblem City was getting closer and closer, a message with the same content was refreshed in front of Lin Yue and Mo Yan at the same time.
"It's another artifact holder, what should I do?" Mo Yan looked flustered, obviously a little frightened
Lin Yue was slightly stunned at first, and then said to Mo Yan: "Block the information, it is estimated that more artifact holders will approach in a while." ”
"Huh? For...... Why? ”
"Isn't this nonsense? Now it's all artifact holders in the game, and they're all heading to the same place, what do you think? "Lin Yue didn't have a good airway.
"Hehe, I forgot." Mo Yan said embarrassedly.
The moon is setting in the west, and when you reach the foot of the mountain, the sky is already slightly white, and not far ahead, you can already see the magnificent city - the Holy Emblem City.
Along the way, Lin Yue noticed that there were quite a few players nearby, all of them walking in one direction, and they were wary of each other, needless to say that they must be the rest of the artifact holders.
Lin Yue didn't plan to greet these people, but continued to move forward at an unhurried pace, and soon arrived at the gate of the Holy Emblem City with Mo Yan.
"Please pay the entrance fee to enter the city, 10 silver coins for merchants, 2 silver coins for farmers, and 1 silver coin for adventurers......"
Although the server was closed, the operation of the NPCs seemed to be the same as usual, and when Lin Yue passed through the city gate, the NPC guards still demanded money from them.
System: You discovered the Holy Emblem City.
After entering the city, Lin Yue and Mo Yan received a prompt from the system at the same time, since it was early in the morning, there were not many NPCs coming and going on the streets of Shenghui City.
Although the Holy Emblem City is in the territory of the Terrans, because it is a neutral map, in addition to the NPCs of the Terrans, Lin Yue can also see many NPCs of different forms, such as orcs, blood elves, giants, goblins, dwarves, etc.
"The Holy Emblem City is so big, where are we going to meet?" Walking on the deserted street, Mo Yan looked a little dazed.
"There's no hurry, anyway, there's still a little time before the time limit, let's walk around first and collect intelligence by the way." Lin Yue said with a calm expression.
"Brother Tuhao, I really admire you, you are still so calm from beginning to end." Mo Yan admired.
"If you accepted Huang Junhao's invitation last time and finally came back alive from the void, your mentality would probably be the same as mine." Lin Yue laughed at himself.
Although the system has blocked the notification message of the artifact holder's infestation, after entering the Holy Emblem City, Lin Yue can still easily identify who is the artifact holder and who is an ordinary NPC from the crowd, after all, the difference between the player and the NPC is still very big, the NPC's name is generally yellow in a neutral state, while the player's name is white.
"There are more artifact holders than I thought." Through observation, Lin Yue found that in the short time since he entered the city, he had seen at least thirty or forty artifact holders, some of them were men and women, old and young, the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest looked to be at least fifty years old.
"They're reborn, just like us?" Mo Yan also saw these artifact holders, and the look of surprise in his eyes was no less than Lin Yue's.
"What are the people behind the rebirth of so many people and the possession of artifacts, and the masterminds behind all this, thinking?" Lin Yue muttered.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, and there were more and more NPCs coming and going on the originally deserted streets, and the shops began to do business at the gates, and the vendors on the streets were shouting and selling, and the city looked very calm, and it felt no different from usual.
After walking around the city, Lin Yue and Mo Yan, who had gained nothing, were like outsiders, squatting in a square and watching the flow of people and the direction of the city gate not far away.
With less than half an hour left before the event calls for gathering, the number of artifact holders entering through the gates is decreasing.
After squatting for a morning, Lin Yue began to feel a little drowsy, although the use of RA connectors can make players sleep lightly in the game, but in fact, the player's energy will still be greatly consumed when he is active in the game for a long time.
Open the system menu, it's 5 a.m. in real time, no wonder you feel a little tired.
System: Full Server Announcement: Players with artifacts, there are still 30 minutes left before the Christmas event gathering time, please hurry up for players who have not yet arrived in Holy Emblem City, in addition, players who have arrived at Holy Emblem City, please go to the fountain in Pegasus Square immediately to gather (coordinates: X: 4991, Y: 2001), the Christmas event is about to begin.
System: Full Server Announcement: ......
System: Full Server Announcement: ......
After waiting for a long time and finally having new information, Lin Yue opened the system map and looked at the collection coordinates, half a sound, looked up at the fountain not far away, and said in amazement: "Pegasus Square? Isn't that it? ”
