25. Build a team
When Lin Ziyue raised her head from the table groggy, she found a group of people arguing around her.
"It's so noisy...... What are you doing?" her head was still a little dizzy, Lin Ziyue looked around and found that in addition to the shadow, Baozi, Sanqian and Yijian were actually there, she was a little confused, and she couldn't figure out the situation for a while.
Still the shadow glanced at her and said, "A few of them are thinking about the name of the mercenary group." ”
"Name...... How about calling it the Phantom World Parade?" Lin Ziyue muttered casually.
"It's so boring! such a prosaic name!" Sanqian turned his head and roared.
"So, the 'life and death madness' you want to name is not a good name, Tai Zhong Er!" A sword knocked on the table, his face was already dark, but due to the level difference, he didn't have absolute confidence to beat three thousand, and he endured it without breaking out.
It's Baozi who is shouting: "That name is ugly enough! It's called the Red Hand Squad! There's a good sign, the Moon Shadow is so red and can't you call it this after so many missions?"
"I refuse such a cheesy name!" With a wave of his hand, he vetoed the seventeenth proposal of Baozi, "It's not that I said, Baozi you can't think of a high-grade ......"
"Isn't my rise very high-grade!ah, 'life and death maniac', a group of wanderers who cross life and death, shuttle between various main cities......"
"I'm still waiting for us tomorrow with white holes and white, how long have these three been discussing like this......" Lin Ziyue muttered and said to the shadows beside her.
The shadow shrugged: "This meeting has been going on for more than twenty minutes. ”
"I just ...... What's wrong? All of a sudden, very sleepy, very sleepy. Lin Ziyue held her head, and she still had the urge to continue sleeping.
"Drank too much. The shadow said lightly.
"It turns out that I drink too much in the fantasy world, it's really strange. Lin Ziyue yawned and stretched.
"Come on, sign here, or draw a random symbol. The shadow took a piece of paper and a quill and put it in front of Lin Ziyue, Lin Ziyue took it, and the names of several other people except her were signed, three thousand ghost drawing talismans, a stroke of the bun, a sword was neat, and the shadow just drew a black triangle.
After Lin Ziyue drew a moon, the paper suddenly flashed with light, and a system prompt sounded.
Ding, the mercenary group "Visitors from Heaven" was successfully established, and Shadow Dance was the captain.
"See people!!! "Sanqian and Baozi roared at the same time, a sword trembled and drew their swords with both hands, Lin Ziyue hurriedly blocked in front of the shadow, trying to stop everyone from slaughtering the captain's move.
"Anyway, the capital is built, and it can only be dissolved a week after its establishment, so you can do it yourself. The shadow still had a calm expression, and easily received the establishment contract into his pocket, "As the captain, I will keep this thing first." ”
Yijian pushed his glasses, put the sword back into the scabbard, Baozi and Sanqian sat down, looking at the shadow as if they were going to eat him, Lin Ziyue had no choice but to pick up his cup and wanted to take a sip, but found that it was empty, so he had to put it down again.
"I'd like to ask when you're going to go, and I'm always on my way, and so is this one. The shadow said to the other three, and then pointed at Lin Ziyue.
"I can do it all. Yijian said.
"I ...... too There's nothing to deal with in Yungui. Baozi's expression flickered for a moment, and then he returned to his usual big grin, patting his chest and saying.
"I don't have any other list in hand at the moment, and I'm ready to go. Three thousand scimitars were stuck on the table, and they were so coquettish that they pulled off their bangs, attracting a burst of contempt from everyone.
The shadow patted Lin Ziyue's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go on the road!"
Lin Ziyue smiled at a few people, raised her hand and said, "In order to open the teleportation array between the main cities!"
Baozi clenched his fists and shouted, "For a unique and rare mission!"
Sanqian also clenched his fists and shouted: "For the name of killing!"
A sword raised his sword high: "I don't want to be a nanny!"
Shadow raised a middle finger at a sword: "I'm almost the same as your nanny, and you can't even beat three thousand in that level." ”
So everyone left the tavern noisily, and the big cable leaned against the edge of the bar, watching a group of people noisily walk out the door, and then another person turned his head and returned to the bar to look at him.
"Counting the broken cups, a hundred and thirty-seven gold coins, the silver coins will be spared for you. ”
Taking the silver coin from the shadow, Da Lan took out a bottle of wine from under the bar and said, "Give it to that timid girl, drink and strengthen your courage." ”
The shadow glared at the cable in disgust, but took the bottle and put it in his pocket.
"I think it's pretty good, who would have thought that a group of people like you would get together, and there will probably be a lot of twists and turns in her journey in the illusory world, hahahaha, I wish you all a smooth journey!"
The shadow put on her own masked black cloth and waved goodbye to the cable.
Da Lan watched the shadow's black clothes flash out, poured himself a glass of wine, and muttered: "Old Yan, old Yan, where do you say your little brother will go?" I always felt uneasy before, but now that I see the people around him, maybe our worries are superfluous, and he probably gradually came out of the death of Brother Xuanyuan......
"Yijian, let's go to the nearest main city...... Do you know best, give me some hints?" Lin Ziyue asked as a few people walked out of the city.
"The east and north of the city of Yungui are relatively close in terms of distance, and the north is the Taoyuan Township where I came, but it is very difficult to go up, and the surrounding Taoyuan Township is full of peach forests full of miasma, if it is not for the antidote provided by the system in the city, the player cannot move freely at all, and just passing through the peach forest is enough to lose the physical strength. ”
"Then according to what you say, I'm afraid I can't go to Taoyuan Township, what about the city in the north?"
"The city to the north is on an island, and I don't think there are ships that can cross the sea right now, and most of the vehicles will be available after the city battle, but if you want to try your luck and see if the players have a private boat, I don't recommend this option, but I don't mind. A sword pushed his glasses.
"Then we have any other choice? Hurry up, don't sell it, grind and chirp. Sanqian complained, pouting after being swept away by a sword's gaze.
"There is no road in the south, so I won't go into detail about the setting of that mountain range, but there is a thousand-meter-deep ravine in the middle, and we can't go through it at all, so we can only go all the way to the west. ”
"To the west, is it far away?" Lin Ziyue asked.
"A sword...... You're not talking about the Miscellaneous Basin, isn't it too risky?" the shadow was hidden in the air, but its voice was a little uneasy.
"What the hell is the Miscellaneous Basin?" Bun looked around in confusion before he remembered that there was a fifth person in the air.
Yijian's face was full of helplessness: "I don't have much miasma pills left, it is impossible to go to Taoyuan Township, there is no transportation in the other cities, even if you go in, you may not be able to get out, it is better to go to the miscellaneous basin, there is a risk, but I will do my best to minimize the risk." ”
"Hey, what the hell are you two talking about? I don't even understand!" Sanqian rubbed his hair in annoyance.
"Let me explain, the name of the Miscellaneous Basin, one is because it is a basin, and the other is because there are several rivers that cross and crisscross over there, and the main city currently has the fewest players, and most of the players are ...... They were swept away by those rivers to other main cities, where the terrain is quite weird, you can see that Drift City itself was built in the middle of the river valley, and even often drifted between several rivers, so the official call it Drift City......"
"I seem to know what you're talking about...... It is said that because there is sometimes water in the river and sometimes there is no water, players are often washed away by the sudden rush of water when leveling up in the empty river, and finally they all fall to other main cities, everyone calls this group of players wanderers, and that city is called Wandering City. Baozi had a look of sudden realization on his face.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Lin Ziyue looked at Yijian suspiciously, "Can we walk to such a dangerous place?"
"It's much better than other places, don't worry, in fact, the flow of those rivers is regular, others may not be able to, but for me who can perfectly combine calculation and plot planning...... Hmm!" he leaned forward, as if he had been slapped on the back of the head, and he pushed his glasses and said nothing.
"Less is enough. A voice in the air said.
"Ah...... It's true that I've mentioned it before, and the sword is a staff member of the Phantom World, but why are you anxious about Shadow?" asked Baozi.
"It's not fun if there are too many spoilers, is it?" said the shadow's voice, muffled through the air.
"yes, anyway, let's go over there and see, there's something wrong, just kill it all!" Sanqian said proudly, waving his scimitar.
"Violent maniac. Lin Ziyue was disdainful.
A few people walked all the way out of Yungui City to the west, after leaving the woods near Yungui City, the scenery became desolate, and the land under their feet was gradually mixed with gravel, and from time to time there were strange-shaped boulders across the road, and there were a lot fewer players, and gradually except for five people, there was no one else on the road.
"Shadow, I've always been curious, where did you buy these candies?" Lin Ziyue took out the candy that the shadow gave her before she was from her pocket, and gave one to the bun, a sword said that she didn't like sweets, and Sanqian felt that men were weak when they ate sweets, so Lin Ziyue dismantled one and threw it into her mouth.
"Ah, it's in the Mystery House in Cloud Return City, I'll take you to see it next time. A shadow in the air took shape, and his mouth clicked as soon as he spoke, and he held a bag of potato chips in his hand.
Sanqian immediately pounced on the potato chips to eat, watching Lin Ziyue and the buns eat candy deliciously, he already felt that his diaphragm had responded, and after receiving a few punches in the head, Sanqian had to snatch the bag of potato chips shamelessly, and took it to share a sword.
"Tsk, annoying guy. The shadow glared at Sanqian, took out a plate of bubble gum from his pocket, and continued to pass the time with food.
"Mystery House? Sounds interesting! What kind of place? I've been in Yungui City for almost two months, and I haven't been there at all!"
"It's a random refreshed little shop, selling snacks and books, sometimes here, sometimes there, most people may not be able to meet the full level of the illusion, but there are some special channels to contact them. Speaking of this, the shadow looked at Lin Ziyue meaningfully, "That's the camp." ”
"Camp?" Three thousand also came over, and when he heard the shadow say this, he immediately pulled out his badge from his collar, "Can you help me see if this is a camp? ”
“…… Hidden Yuan Hui, hehe. The shadow glanced at the three thousand coldly, and didn't pay any attention to him, "Players with a faction, as long as they have entered the Mystery House once, then they can keep the mark of the Mystery House on their own camp certification items, and the next time they want to go, they can guide a path to the Mystery House through the certification object." ”
"I see. Lin Ziyue took out her black rose and waved it at the shadow, "This seems to be a certified item of my camp......"
When Yijian's gaze fell on the black rose, his face was first full of shock, and then his eyes were cloudy, flashing with a cold light, Baozi and Sanqian were surrounded by Lin Ziyue and were amazed, but the shadow stared at the rose in Lin Ziyue's hand in confusion and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyue turned the rose around, put it to her nose and smelled it, there was no smell, it looked like an artificial fake rose.
"In my ...... Well, according to the program setting of the illusory world, players should not, and it is impossible for them to join the ** hunting team or ...... Abyss Circus, those are two permanently independent sets of special data, and those two organizations can be ...... if there are players in them."
"What will happen!Will something happen to Moon Shadow!Quick, Moon Shadow! Throw away that rose, you're still you!" Baozi immediately became a little anxious when he heard this, shaking Lin Ziyue's shoulder and panicking.
"Don't, don't make a fuss about buns...... It's going to be dizzy...... "Lin Ziyue quickly stuffed the roses back into her pocket, for fear that she would be shaken by the bun and get rid of the roses.
"You don't have to worry about the barbarian girl, she's going to be fine. Yijian habitually pushed down his glasses, hiding the fluctuations in his eyes, and his face maintained his usual coldness, "Abyss Circus, we will have to meet them sooner or later......" Although Yijian said this, his gaze did not look at anyone, but fell in front of him, as if talking to himself.
"Hey, you kid explain, what are you giving me a sentence hehe, you want to fight, right?" Sanqian made a fuss at the shadow, seeing the two people fighting quickly, Baozi was still cheering on the side, Lin Ziyue had to insert between the two to stop Sanqian, although the words of a sword made her have some doubts in her heart, but now it seems that she should not ask in detail in front of others for the time being, maybe wait for next time.
After walking for a while, a few people finally got bored, Lin Ziyue and Baozi and Sanqian played text solitaire, while Shadow and Yijian walked aside, as if they were discussing something in a low voice.
"It's boring...... For the first time, I knew how important transportation is!!!" Bun screamed miserably and threw himself on Lin Ziyue's back, "Moon Shadow carries me on my back......
"You're so heavy!!" Lin Ziyue was pressed on her back by the bun like this, and she couldn't hold on for a few seconds, and the two fell to the ground together.
"Are you two stupid?" Shadow walked over, helped the two of them up from the ground, and then pointed to a few wooden houses not far away, "Go over there and rest, it's also a safe spot over there, if you want to go offline and rest for a while, you can use the mercenary channel to contact you when it's online, even if you are in different places, you can communicate together, so that the person who arrives first will go to the safe point on the river bank first and wait for the person who arrives later." ”
"Well...... Because Drift City is going to move around, we have to go into the city together, right? Lin Ziyue asked.
The shadow nodded, and led the way towards the cabins.
There was a pastoral dog leashed in front of the hut, and when he saw a few people coming, he raised his head and barked, baring his teeth fiercely. A gust of wind mixed with yellow sand blew, the wind chimes under the eaves rang, Lin Ziyue looked up, in addition to the wind chimes, there were windmills and dreamcatchers, etc., all kinds of handicrafts were arranged under this eaves.
"It's really rare to have guests...... Ah Fei, don't worry, even if the demon walks in, if he causes trouble in the store, I can tell him to go out sideways. The old man's voice came from the house, and when he heard this, the pastoral dog snorted through his nostrils, then stuck out his tongue and gasped and lay on the ground.
The hot temperature of the sand made it look unenergetic, Lin Ziyue cautiously walked over, stretched out her hand and patted the head of the pastoral dog, the pastoral dog glanced at her and had no other reaction, Lin Ziyue happily beckoned Baozi over: "Look, it's very cute, it's not fierce at all." ”
"Oh, I'll try?" Baozi came over and scratched the belly of the pastoral dog, and the pastoral dog was so docile that he turned over and let the bun touch it, and Sanqian also came over, but he was too nervous to approach on the side.
"Haha! Sanqian, are you afraid of dogs?" Baozi asked with a laugh.
"Well...... I was bitten as a child. Sanqian said a little embarrassed, still nervous with the scimitar on his waist.
The shadow walked over, just glanced at the few people around the pastoral dog, and walked straight into the house, and a sword came over, but as soon as the pastoral dog turned over, he stood up, and roared at the approaching sword, and a sword had to follow the shadow into the hut with a black face, and said to a few people: "There should be a rest in the hut, if you have had enough, come in." ”
"Oh, I need to go in and sit for a while. Baozi immediately entered the house behind a sword, and the three thousand were a little closer to the pastoral dog, and the hand holding the scimitar trembled a little, and the pastoral dog glanced at him, and he immediately got into the house.
Lin Ziyue lowered her head with a smile and rubbed the ears of the pastoral dog, who lay quietly in front of her, and even rubbed her head in her palm a few times.
"Well...... It's a pity that there's nothing good to bring you, you...... Dogs don't seem to be able to eat sweet things. Lin Ziyue smiled and saw the pastoral dog snorting beside her, as if she was smelling something.
"Thanks, I can't eat it. ”
Lin Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and then felt that she must have hallucinated, how could a dog talk, even if it was an illusion......
Ah, the phantom world.
I really almost forgot about this messy world, those inexplicable settings.
"But I don't mind two pieces of candy from the House of Mysteries, Lord Inquisitor. Or rather, what does it taste like except for the sugar in the Mystery House? Black Rose ......" The pastoral dog rubbed in Lin Ziyue's arms, leaning her head on her stiff arm, Lin Ziyue felt a heavy force imprison her whole body, she couldn't move, she tried to struggle away from the pastoral dog, but she couldn't control her body at all, and the air around her body seemed to be frozen.
"Guest ...... from the Abyss"
