24. We
Lin Ziyue and Shadow laughed all the way to Yungui City, the two of them just threw the remaining eggs in different places in the Lepari Valley, some of the eggs just smashed a ground of egg yolks, some of the eggs exploded to scare the couples into thinking that they had encountered a guild war, some of the eggs emitted a puff of smoke and everyone was blocked from view, after throwing all the eggs away, the two culprits immediately moved away from the angry people and rushed to the city, until they were far away from the Lepari Valley, the two of them laughed heartily.
"It's really fun, haha, there's a girl who keeps kicking her boyfriend in anger, don't you see, no, this prank is so cool, it's just hahaha......" Lin Ziyue laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, and the shadow had to reach out to help her.
"So seeing that you're in a better mood, how are you going to handle the task at hand?"
The shadow made Lin Ziyue come back to her senses from the pleasure brought by the prank, staring at the outline of Yungui City in the distance, and felt a little confused: "I, I...... I still have to do it, after all, I promised someone else. β
"Hmph, I expected that to be the case, tsk," Shadow smacked his lips and paused, "But wouldn't it be bad for you to go on your own road? Even if you move up to level 17, the road will be full of thrills, right?"
"I want to call Baozi together, she seems to have some unpleasant memories in Yungui City. Lin Ziyue remembered the scene when Baozi and herself were blocked in a small alley.
"Are you stupid!" the shadow sighed.
Lin Ziyue glared at him dissatisfied: "Then I don't know any other acquaintances...... Ah, you?"
The shadow raised an eyebrow and said, "You beg me, beg me!"
Lin Ziyue looked at him and was silent for more than ten seconds before he spoke: "I think Yijian should be willing to promise me, anyway, he has nothing to do in Yungui......"
"Hey!" the shadow pulled up Lin Ziyue's hood, buckled it on her head, and rubbed it a few times.
"Okay, okay, then you ...... Would you like to accompany me on a mission?"
Lin Ziyue raised her head and looked at the shadow who was a head taller than herself, although most of her face was covered under the mask, her exposed eyes were always shining.
"I don't want to. β
"You go, I don't care, you go!" Lin Ziyue strode in the direction of Yungui City, and the shadow behind her laughed, turned on stealth and stealth, and her figure slowly disappeared into the air, but the laughter kept surrounding Lin Ziyue, and walked back towards Yungui City with her.
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Smash it!!
A cage of meat buns: What are you doing!!
Moon Shadow in the Forest: I received a large number of quests to go to the outer city, do you want to go together, let's go to the Illusory World Continent to wander?
A cage of meat buns: Do you want to go to the city to ask for rice?
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Don't make a fuss! Seriously, this is full of enthusiasm for the mission, can you refuse?
A cage of meat buns: Ah, what a task
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Wait for me to see......
Moon Shadow in the Forest: The "City Lord, Witch and Heir", "Huluo's Orphan", "Lost Treasure", and "Searching for the Fox Clan of the Human World" that we took over together...... That's all, but it seems that they are all cross-main city missions, and there are no clues in Yungui City, I want to go to a nearby city, how about you?
A cage of meat buns: Oh, oh, oh, go to a new city! Come on! Of course you have to come!!
Moon Shadow in the Forest: That's it, where are you now?
A cage of meat buns: I'm leveling up with three thousand, this guy is actually a mission idiot hahaha
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Uh, what do you mean?
A cage of meat buns: He almost hacked the quest NPC to death, do you think this person is weird
Moon Shadow in the Forest: It's quite strange ==
A cage of meat buns: Then let's meet in the city, let's go to the Tieda Tavern on the 13th Road in the north of the city!
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Good is good...... Why is this name so weird
A cage of meat buns: Yes? I think it fits the atmosphere of that tavern, ah, Sanqian is starting to provoke NPCs again, I'm going to stop him, if you get there, go over first
Moon Shadow in the Forest: Okay, you two...... Come on
After closing the secret chat, Lin Ziyue looked at the shadow blankly: "Do you know what Tieda Tavern in the north of the city is?"
The shadow appeared from the side, took out a stack of paper and threw it to Lin Ziyue, Lin Ziyue opened it and saw that it was actually a hand-drawn map of Yungui City, and he couldn't help but be surprised, the map marked the name and coordinates of each building very clearly, the iron tavern was above the map, you can see it at a glance, Lin Ziyue pointed to a P on the side of the tavern and asked, "What does this mean?"
"P is the player's land,The abbreviation of player,If you pay attention to it, the system is written on the edge of the land with S for system.,If you see a building that says E, it means blank empty.,The building that says N is the private land of the NPC.,If it's marked with U, it means unknown place.γ β
"Hey, it's so complicated, did you draw it?"
The shadow shrugged: "How is it possible, how can I have this time, this is drawn by a self-proclaimed all-incoming surveyor in Yungui City, that guy's map is enough for a hundred gold, for me this is a wanted weapon, it is because of it that I have never been in danger, through street building ambushes or guerrilla attacks to get rid of the pursuers, if there was no such thing, I would have been cut down several levels." β
"What do you say this thing is worth hundreds of gold coins?!!" Lin Ziyue suddenly felt that the map in his hand was several times heavier, and he held it carefully, for fear that he would be hated by the shadow when he folded it to a footer.
"Even if it is a hundred gold, it is priceless, such a detailed and professional drawing is enough to save any road idiot from suffering, enough to make anyone know Yungui City well, his map is never circulated on the market, this is what I once did a wanted mission to his head, and he exploded after his death. β
Lin Ziyue was a little speechless for a moment: "You are really ruthless enough." β
The shadow said disdainfully: "To kill a person is to have the consciousness of being killed, I have always only shot at people who have murderous value, since he fell into my hands, it means that he is also a person with murderous value." β
So Lin Ziyue and Shadow were arguing about the reasonableness of the murderous value, while walking to the iron tavern in the north of the city, after entering the door, Lin Ziyue knew what the bun meant by "conforming to the atmosphere", the tables and chairs in this tavern are all made of iron, even those wine glasses are glass or wood inside, and a layer of iron is nailed outside, which looks particularly rough style.
The front desk of the bar is actually a middle-aged man who looks very vicissitudes, a scar on his face extends along the left eye to the corner of his mouth, and the other eye is shining, like a hungry wolf version of staring at Lin Ziyue, Lin Ziyue is uncomfortable, and can't help but fall half a step behind the shadow, the shadow walked to the front desk calmly, knocked on the table and shouted at the middle-aged man who wiped the cup, the man turned around and took out two iron bottles on the wine cabinet, poured out two large cups of bubbling soda, and sent them to the two, his eyes crossed Lin Ziyue's face like a knife, Lin Ziyue couldn't help but look away, staring at the soda drink in front of himγ
"Okay, don't scare her, she's not a cute girl, she's just a nerd. Shadow removed the black cloth from his face, picked up his cup, and poured several sips of his drink.
Lin Ziyue glared at the shadow viciously, and also took a few sips of the cup in front of her.
"How are you?"
The two of them spit out a drink at the same time, and Da Cable rubbed his face with a rag, and slowly turned to the other side to greet a table of guests who had just entered.
"That guy's jokes are really getting more and more malicious, it's annoying enough!" Shadow picked up the masked black cloth on the table and wiped the drink that had overflowed from his mouth, his face cloudy, obviously thinking of beating people.
Lin Ziyue was so particular that she took out a tissue from the counter, wiped the corners of her mouth and the drinks on her body, and turned her head to look at the shadow's face.
"What are you doing, are you serious?" Noticing that Lin Ziyue seemed a little shy, the shadow snorted, "You're too self-indulgent." β
ββ¦β¦β
There was silence between the two, and after the scar man called Da Cable greeted the new guests, he turned around in front of the two of them, looked at the two of them condescendingly, and after being looked at very uncomfortable, Lin Ziyue and Shadow spoke at the same time: "What do you see?"
Then the two of them became more and more embarrassed, Da Lan laughed heroically, patted Lin Ziyue and Shadow on the shoulder, and said, "Young man!" and then went into the room behind the bar.
Just when Lin Ziyue was staring at his cup in a daze, and the shadow was staring at the rag on the bar in a daze, a roar came from the door of the tavern, the two turned around and saw a figure falling next to several iron tables, the table was unscathed, the woman picked up a huge scythe with blue light from the ground, roared angrily and rushed to the door, from the door calmly walked in a man, with a scimitar lightly framed the woman's swinging falling sickle, the scimitar of the other hand slashed the woman's hand holding the sickle, the woman suddenly snorted, as soon as the hand was loosened, the man used the scimitar to easily pick up the sickle and fly out, and landed in the corner of the tavernγ
"Three...... Hmm!"
As soon as Lin Ziyue wanted to speak, she was covered by the shadow, and dragged her a few steps to hide behind the bar of the tavern, and the two of them were in a relatively safe place behind the bar, poking out half their heads to watch the battle, and fell into the eyes of several tavern guests next to them, how did these two people look obscene.
"Why are you covering my mouth...... Isn't that three thousand...... The woman's ...... Huh? β
At that moment another man came in at the door of the tavern, threw the blue cloak in his hand to the woman, and said, "I don't want to have anything to do with you any more, take your cloak and sickle, mandala." β
"Ah...... That's an acquaintance of the buns......"
"Wasn't they going to hunt you down before?" the shadow glanced at Lin Ziyue strangely.
"Well...... Baozi seems to have something to do with them...... Buns! Lin Ziyue stood up suddenly, waved at a cage of meat buns and three thousand troubles behind the bar, the shadow saw that the battle was almost over, so she didn't stop her, and also stood up from behind the bar, and took out the other two cups from the bar counter very familiarly, and poured two drinks, Lin Ziyue sat on the edge of the bar, picked up her own cup and continued to drink, three thousand got behind the bar, ignored her own drink, but ran to the wine cabinet to look, and bumped into the shadow from time to time, it seemed that she was just trying to find trouble with the shadow.
"Yo, you're quite familiar with iron beating, hey, how is this ginger soda, is there a little mood for the young man, help me bring that bottle of black rum! Baozi slapped the bar table excitedly, tasted the soda in the cup and pushed it aside in disgust, pointed to the rum rack at the other end of the cabinet and yelled at the shadow, the shadow glanced at her, kicked away the three thousand who were in the way on the side, walked to the cabinet to find the wine that Baozi wanted, and after the three thousand were bored, they took several cups out and stacked them layer by layer to play.
Shadow finally finds the black rum that Baozi wants, puts it on the bar, and looks for the cup in the cupboard underneath, the three-thousand-stacked cup tower is knocked down by Baozi's machete, and he is screaming while cleaning up the glass slag, Baozi slaps the table and laughs, urging Shadow to hurry up and get the wine glass.
At this time, Da Lan walked out, and saw that half of the customers in the store had run away in the chaos just now, empty, and a woman wrapped in a blue cloak and holding a sickle, while glaring at the few people at the bar and retreating, Da Lan then looked at the bar, and was distressed to find that a few troublemakers were surrounding there, and there was a mess around.
"You bastards!!" Da Lan roared and rushed forward, throwing the shadows and buns that didn't dare to resist out of the door one by one, and then grabbed the collar of the three thousand and threw him out, and the glass ballasts flew all the way.
Da Lan turned around and saw Lin Ziyue, who was sitting upright on the edge of the bar, holding a cup and staring at all this. He let out a long sigh, rubbed his head, and went back to the back of the bar, tidying up the cabinets that had been messed up by shadows and three thousand.
"Uncle. Lin Ziyue shouted with a grin.
"What's the matter!" replied angrily.
"You look angry, not as scary as you usually stare at. β
When Da Lan heard this, he was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I should clearly mark the price, those troublemakers have a hundred gold coin tickets for each person, I don't think they can come! A group of troublesome imps ......"
Lin Ziyue picked up the cup and drank the soda clean, wiped her mouth and said, "Let's have another drink...... Uncle, do you know those guys well?"
At this time, Baozi and Shadow were pulling the unconscious Sanqian back into the tavern, and then the two of them put Sanqian to the door and walked towards the bar.
"Hmph, I've known them for as long as the iron has been open. β
Lin Ziyue glanced at the big cable: "The Phantom World has been implemented for more than two months......"
Da Lan winked at her: "More than two months is enough for the virtual world to change dramatically, don't you think so? How did you know them? Think for yourself." After speaking, he took the bottle on the bar, opened it casually, and filled the empty cup in front of Lin Ziyue.
"Hmm...... How do I know them? Lin Ziyue listened to Da Lan's question, smiled and picked up the cup and drank it, she didn't realize that the taste was a little wrong, she just looked up at a few people at the door, and looked at the three thousand who woke up and roared at the shadow, complained to the bun, and danced towards Da Lan.
Da Lan felt the risk of the three troublemakers waiting at the bar, and brought the four of them into the small private room of the Iron Tavern, and when the four of them finally settled down, Lin Ziyue held the cup, and a burst of sleepiness kept coming up, and her head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Moon Shadow...... Moon Shadow?" Baozi stretched out his hand and waved in front of Lin Ziyue's eyes, "How much is this?"
"Yes...... Ten...... Plus 2...... Twenty-two......" Lin Ziyue's head nodded more and more, and her eyelids kept fighting.
ββ¦β¦ What are you drinking...... Wine?!" Shadow snatched the cup from Lin Ziyue's hand, smelled the mellow black rum, and looked at the drunk Lin Ziyue helplessly.
"Shadow...... Be...... Thirty-two......" Lin Ziyue looked at the shadow's depressed expression and smirked, saying vaguely.
"What about me, how much am I?" San Qian clapped his hands in Lin Ziyue's ear, seeing that Lin Ziyue turned his head in confusion, stared at him for a long time, and then didn't say anything, turned his head back and smirked at the shadow.
"In the forest, do you want to fight!!"
"Forget it, don't make a fuss, I originally called you two because Moon Shadow in the forest wanted to talk to you about something...... Discuss, now it's like this, tsk, don't rob it!" The shadow looked serious and comforted the somewhat messy buns and three thousand, but Lin Ziyue reached over and wanted to take back the remaining half cup of black rum and continue to drink, and suddenly the shadow face became more and more helpless, looking at Lin Ziyue's expression that was about to cry, he poured the black rum into his cup, and stuffed Lin Ziyue's empty cup back into her hand, Lin Ziyue quieted down, holding the empty cup and being satisfied, nestled on the table and dozed off in a daze.
"So what the hell is going on? Baozi told me that it was a mission. Sanqian asked.
Shadow slightly explained the different task chains that Lin Ziyue is in now, explaining that this is her private task, so this trip to the main cities may not have any substantive benefits, all depends on personal opinions, if Baozi and Sanqian are willing to be together, if they are not willing to shadow, they will not force it, Baozi immediately said that he will definitely protect Lin Ziyue, and this was met with the white eyes of Shadow: "It is more important for you to protect yourself first at this level." β
Sanqian hesitated for a moment, but remembered the failure of his previous escort mission, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and make up his mind to go out for a walk with these people, although he hated shadows very much, but if he went to various main cities, he made his name as "a life without missing a beat", a wandering killer, it just sounds cool, isn't it!
With a strange mentality, Sanqian patted his chest and said, although the casual safety of this road was wrapped around him, the shadow rolled his eyes again: "I don't know who lost the employer before." β
Shadow counted the number of people in his current companionship, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to get a collective contact information, so he thought of the mercenary group system of the illusory world, but the minimum number of mercenary groups was five......
