Chapter 7: The Prelude to Scarlet Love

Now, I really can't go back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Looking at the cloud boat that rose into the air again, Xi Yan said as if lamenting, but the emotions on his face did not look like negativity, but hidden a frenzy. Whoever goes to a place they've never been to before will have such a reaction, let alone a trip to another world.

Tidal port

Xi Yan silently read the map and carefully looked at the miniature map of Lan Fenlos, and learned that the location of his group was a port in the southwest. Behind you, the sound of the waves crashing in the shadows was endless, and the air looked damp due to the excessive moisture. A short distance from the foot is a bustling street, lined with small openwork stone towers lit with candles at regular intervals. Warm jade yellow candles illuminate the surrounding landscape.

In other words, the names of some of the signs on the map are quite in the style of online games, such as: the administrative center, the adventurer's union, the lone wanderer's alliance, and so on. Even if you haven't been there, you can tell a thing or two from the name. Of course, these are not the things that should be concerned at this moment, otherwise they would be too far off the point.

Sure enough, it's a medieval building.

Looking around, the sunset breeze said with a little exclamation. Clearly, he had identified the era from the buildings that lined the streets. Although Yukazehara is a carpenter in reality. But for the architectural styles of different eras, he is not inferior to anyone else.

You have to find a place to live.

After a moment of silence, Xi Yan said to the others.

Although it's true that it's a different world, it feels like it's just changing the environment and changing the rules of survival. Even if it sounds perfunctory, it's essentially what it is. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the basic four guarantees, if it is in a virtual game, of course, it is not needed, but here, it is essential.

Let's ask someone first.

Good.

For Hua Qi's suggestion, everyone unanimously agreed. But at a glance, there are very few people on the road. I don't know if it's because the flow of people is not concentrated here, or if there are few people who arrive here at all, and all of them are hiding in the novice village. If it's the former, it's fine, and if you look carefully, you'll find a crowded place. But if it's the latter, it's a bit of a bad story.

But it's not right, Xi Yan remembers that when he first got off the cloud boat, there were not a few people on the road. How did it take a while to become so lonely. Besides, how to say it, I always feel that these people around me are inexplicably subtle, whether it is the clothes or the weird blank space on the top of the head.

Just as Xi Yan wanted to call out to the person in front of her, a young woman in a colorful tunic robe walked up quickly, and said with a light smile on the corner of her mouth: "Brave adventurers, do you need the help of me, Katya?" You only need to pay me a small fee.

Everyone was stunned when they said this, this unconventional language is too inexplicable. But soon Xi Yan reacted, he carefully looked at the woman's dress, as well as the blank space above her head that did not show any personal information, and suddenly had an assumption in his heart, and asked: You, are you not from the original world?

This question made the faces of the four people beside Xi Yan change, and they looked at each other without speaking, but their eyes at Katya became sharp. You know, this is not a trivial matter, and it is normal to have NPCs in the game. But according to Xi Yan and the others, it is inferred that he was involved in some kind of event and came to a world similar to an online game. Live here and readjust to the new rules.

But the premise of all this is that there is no alien race. After all, it's not a game, and it's not a data-manipulated virtual character. If there is another group of people alive in this world, or aborigines. Then Xiyan and they are equivalent to becoming intruders. This is not a situation that can be easily ignored.

Katya doesn't understand what you're talking about? What was the original world? I've always lived here, and I've never left.

The woman shook her head and said in confusion, looking at Xi Yan's eyes full of puzzlement.

Really.

Xi Yan sighed secretly in her heart, and sorted out the thoughts in her mind.

Suppose this other world is treated as an online game, Xiyan and they are the players, and the aborigines represented by Katia are equivalent to NPCs. But the difference is that there are game classes, monsters, and levels in this world, and these are all the same. But the biggest variable is the third person, the non-playercharacter, commonly known as the non-player character. Judging from the brief exchange just now, Katya does not look like a virtual character operated by artificial intelligence, in other words, she is a real person.

Real worlds, real players, real NPCs, too real to be unreal.

So who are we?

Liulu suddenly interjected and asked, his attitude still cold.

It's weird, you guys... Well~ You're adventurers.,The kind of people who hunt monsters and accept commissions to get commissions.。

Katya replied with a look of "you are all suspicious".

Hearing the answer, Xi Yan instantly understood the intention of the flow law. To put it simply, it is to know what kind of identity an invader like oneself is in this world in the eyes of the aborigines. Enemy? Or a companion? Only by knowing this, can you understand more clearly how you should live.

Fortunately, the language between the two parties is incomprehensible, and there is no barrier to communication.

...

With their backs to Katiea, Xiyan and they hooked their shoulders and backs, formed a circle, and whispered to each other. I have to say that it's really a super idiot to do such a move in the middle of the road, and I always think that the bad guys on TV will come to this when they want to kidnap their little sister.

Ahem.

Turning around, he coughed twice, and Xi Yan said solemnly: Yes, we are adventurers, and we also need your help. But we're sorry, we don't have any money on us.

Don't ask why the coins of the original world are not available here, and three minutes on the eve of the wind took out a few banknotes that he had with him. But when Katya pulled out a glittering gold coin from her pocket and said, "This means a dollar." Everyone knew that he was poor!

It turned out to be a bunch of useless adventurers.

Although Katia whispered, Xi Yan and the others at the tip of their ears still heard this. Grief and indignation in your heart, please don't stand and talk without backache!

Forget it. Count me unlucky, say, what do you need me to help you with?

It's a shame that we don't have a place to live. So if you can...

The next sentence, "Please give us a place to rest, of course it's free" Xiyan didn't mean to say it, but he believed that the clever Katya could understand it on his own. Unexpectedly despicable...!

Don't even think about it.

A very simple refusal, Katya dared to swear, she had never seen such a cheeky adventurer, too good at climbing up the pole. But it turns out that the adventurers she meets in the future are more and more obscene, so that Katiea's impression of the adventurer as "brave and above board" has plummeted.

If you can help, we can compensate you in any way we can.

Is it?

As if interested in Hua Qi's words, Katya raised her head slightly to look at everyone, her eyes wandered, and then as if she thought of something, her eyes lit up inexplicably, and said: I can help you. But in return, you'll have to represent my family's shop in the water festival.

Ah~ The water festival sounds so interesting. What is it?

Hitomi asked excitedly, eager to try. Even if she becomes a little more sensual and mature, the little witch still can't change her naughty nature, and she must be asked to the end if she sounds like it's funny.

No way!! You don't even know where you came from, the "Gift of Shatthar's Nameya", the water festival.

Katia shouted as if she had seen a ghost, attracting the attention of a few passers-by. Xi Yan hurriedly grabbed her, he didn't want his group of people to look different and different.

Famous?!

Yutomi, who felt a little frustration in her self-esteem, responded unwillingly. However, she also understands that the current situation is not the time to be petty, otherwise according to the character of the little witch, she would have been stabbed earlier. By the way, Lanfenlos is also a non-PK area, but it is unknown whether it will cause substantial harm to the aborigines. The common sense of semi-game theory, the laws of the semi-real world, this world is really troublesome enough.

Of course! Forget it, let's talk as we go.

As soon as the words fell, Katya took the lead and led them towards the front.

Of course, along the way, Xi Yan took the opportunity to inquire about information. Although there are not many pedestrians on the streets, there are still many shops open on both sides, selling things that no one has ever seen before. In Katiea's impatient explanation and the eyes of an idiot, Xi Yan and the others learned a lot of things.

It's like a store with a small façade called Lifestream, which is the Fountain of Life. It is introduced as a specialized sale of magic potions, which can treat wounds and souls, etc.; For players such as Xiyan, it is a blood medicine blue medicine that replenishes HP/MP. But the strange thing is that before Katya didn't explain, Xi Yan and the others didn't have any hints when they looked at these items, but after knowing and looking at them, a window prompt would appear. There will be the name of the object and the effect on it, and the provenance of some things will be explained.

It's as if to say don't want to get information for nothing, if you want to know, try to understand it first!

...

Shut up! It's here.

After walking a long way down the street that stretched from Tidal Port, Katia stood in front of a shop called Crimson Love, and shouted angrily to Xiyan, who was still chattering.

Is this it?

Hum!

If it weren't for the water festival, I would have kicked this bastard to death.

With a cold snort, ignoring Xi Yan's words, Katia stepped up the bluestone steps a few steps above the street, pushed open the door of the store, beckoned to everyone, and walked in.

You can really feel what it means to send people under the fence, Xiyan, Xitong, and Liulu are okay. But the sunset wind and the flowers are older after all, and there is no place to tell all the tastes in their hearts. All the way was silent, but the momentum was stronger than people, even if they felt awkward, the group still followed up.

I thought it would be a quiet night, but...
