Chapter 44: Disguise

This was not the corridor that led to Vanessa's room, Ye Zhi followed the team with a frown, at least not yet.

The corridor seemed to have no end, and I don't know how long I followed the team, and when Ye Zhi was about to lose it, the city lord led people into an oil painting.

Ye Zhi followed the people in front of him without hesitation. If someone were to look at them at this time, they would see that there were many more people who did not fit the style of oil painting on the oil paintings of the young girls who were originally just painting the garden and the courtyard eating afternoon tea and snacks.

"Vanessa Arabella, you're here." The city lord looked at the girl in front of him and snorted coldly.

Vanessa? Ye Zhi hid in the crowd and looked at the girl who was alone opposite, this is Vanessa's true face?

Ye Zhi had never seen Vanessa's portrait, so he hadn't seen Vanessa's true appearance until now, and what he saw in the castle before was just Vanessa's appearance attached to a puppet or Pocky.

"You can actually find this place, and you are not an ordinary person." Vanessa smiled, the painting was the place where she stored her soul box, and she was invincible everywhere except here.

"Hehe, no one who can survive is an ordinary person." The city lord replied quietly.

Ye Zhi can't see through the current situation, Vanessa and the city lord Oriao seem to be old acquaintances, but Vanessa is a person who has lived until now a long time ago, and the city lord is in the setting Dingshui City, which was only taken over more than ten years ago.

"That's right, but I'm more curious about what you're doing here." Vanessa picked up a cookie.

"Take something." The city lord replied lightly, and the NPC team behind him quietly looked at Vanessa.

"Oh?" Vanessa's hand shook and she put the cookie in her mouth, "I don't remember I had your stuff here." ”

"But I remember." Squinting at Vanessa, the city lord's voice was still as calm as ever.

"How do you remember something you didn't have?" Vanessa smiled and swallowed the cookie.

"Existence is existence, and you can't erase its existence, just as you can't erase that memory." The lord of the castle brought up something unintentionally.

That memory? What kind of memory, Ye Zhi's ears immediately pricked up, originally thought it was just an ordinary communication, but he didn't expect that there was such an important material, and he must not miss it.

"Memory? What a memory. Vanessa looked at Orio calmly.

"Heh, the memory has nothing to do with me, but you don't pretend anymore, give me something, and I'll leave right away." Seeing that Vanessa was still calm, the city lord gave up his intention to provoke her, and directly spread out his words and said what he wanted.

"Since you said it directly, then I will say it again, I don't know what you want, I don't have your things, let alone what you want."

"Looks like you don't want to give it to me." The city lord's voice was tinged with annoyance.

"If you don't have what you want, how can you give it." Vanessa insisted on her original answer, no is nothing, and never showed flaws.

Hearing this, Ye Zhi secretly screamed in his heart, this is the prelude to the collapse of the talk, and he is ready to fight, but why did these people still not react at all, Ye Zhi looked at the NPC teammates who were still expressionless and did not squint. They look strange, completely different from what they look like in a vocational college.

"Do you have to do it?" I don't know what concerns I had, the city lord never ordered the attack, which made Ye Zhi very puzzled and even more nervous, ready to start assisting at any time.

"It's better not to do it." Vanessa was still sitting in the chaise longue, and the sound of the crunch chair rocking had been there since the beginning of the conversation, and it was still there now.

"Then give me something." The townsman was more paranoid than Vanessa's insistence, seemingly believing that Vanessa was lying.

"I don't have anything from you here, let alone what you want." Vanessa repeated what she had said before.

"If you don't have one here, what's the point of me coming?" The castle lord asked Vanessa self-deprecatingly.

"How would I know that?" Vanessa's voice grew softer.

"Are you so sure you don't know what I'm here for?" The city lord asked rhetorically.

"I'm sure." Vanessa's voice in reply was getting louder and lower.

"I don't want to do anything with you, I'll say one last time, give me something, and I'll leave immediately." The city lord looked at Vanessa, who had almost completely closed her eyes, and emphasized again.

"I'll say it one last time, I don't have what you have, let alone what you want." Vanessa barely opened her eyes and looked at the person behind the city lord, her gaze stayed on Ye Zhi for less than a second, and then closed her eyes, which was regarded as answering Oriao's question.

"Are you sure that's your answer?" The scruples of the city lord Oriao made him let him go again and again, and after he finished speaking, he had to confirm with Vanessa again.

There won't be an ulterior emotional story between them, right? Ye Zhi complained in his heart, repeating the conversation so many times is not what true love is.

After speaking, Oriao, who was quietly waiting for Vanessa's reply, felt a little wrong, the chair kept shaking, but Vanessa's reply never appeared, she couldn't be asleep, right?

With a guess, the lord motioned for the people in the group to stay where they were and wait for the order, and stepped forward himself.

Ye Zhi stared at the city lord approaching Vanessa step by step, leaned up to see Vanessa's face clearly, and then ......

Vanessa opened her eyes suddenly, jumped up and plunged the dagger into Orio's heart. However, it didn't work out.

Orio sensed something was wrong when he saw that Vanessa was asleep, and theoretically no one could fall asleep without fear in the presence of an enemy while others were staring at him. If you fall asleep, there's only one reason, and it's a trap.

Orio didn't want to do anything to Vanessa, so he would definitely choose to come forward to confirm if Vanessa was really asleep, rather than having Vanessa attack remotely to verify.

Although I had already guessed this, there was still a long way to go before the story behind Vanessa and Orio, not to mention that the battle seemed to have begun. Ye Zhi held the cross and stared closely at Oriao, who jumped back to dodge the short knife attack, if he was the only one on the battlefield at the moment, he only needed to ensure that he still had combat effectiveness.

Ye Zhi thought very beautifully, only one person would be treated, and the pressure would be very small, but the truth could never be like this.

Almost as soon as Orio dodged the dagger and landed, the NPC team that came with him attacked, and the target was naturally Vanessa.

Vanessa's reaction was not slow, and she retreated and flashed most of the skills without tracking effects, but it was a pity that the table and chairs and the tea and snacks on it were in place.

Ye Zhi looked at the tables and chairs that had been destroyed under the attack with regret, and when he looked up again, he found that Vanessa was coming towards his side, to be precise, the NPC team, but was stopped by Oriao halfway.

Perhaps because of the betrayal of the faith, the magic used by Vanessa was not gentle, but the gold was black and destructive.

But even so, Vanessa also fell behind, Orio brought a lot of people, and it also came with professional cooperation, except for a few fighters who were brought to hide people's eyes, the others were good at long-range attacks, Orio dragged Vanessa, and then others attacked.

It's really a good ploy to push the boss, Ye Zhi looked at the battle situation, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, many days ago he seemed to be like this, mixed in the long-range attack pile, and killed a boss with others.

Vanessa shouldn't just be grinded to death, right? The battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Vanessa, and Ye Zhi's doubts are getting bigger and bigger, it is understandable that the queen ant did not turn on the intelligence system so she was grinded to death, but if she was replaced by Vanessa, a highly intelligent NPC, how could she be grinded to death like this?

Sure enough, in the gap accidentally exposed by Oriao, Vanessa saw an opportunity and threw a group chaos spell at the side of the team with her free hand, aiming directly at a few warriors who could not output and NPCs with high output.

Mayhem is an NPC-specific skill that must be an intelligent story boss that can be attacked by the player.

When he saw the chaos technique come out, Ye Zhi began to feel that something was wrong, not because he had doubts about the effect of the chaos technique, but because he had doubts about the plot of the game.

For a game, the story is very important, and the purpose of setting the story is to let the player participate in the story and then get benefits to be more interested in the game.

Although the game introduction of "Parallel" says that NPCs can also promote the development of the plot and make a new main story appear, the death of the key boss in the plot line will not be caused by NPCs, because it will not be able to present the plot well and be known to the player and used by the player.

So now there are only two possibilities for Vanessa to fall into the wind, first, Vanessa is not the key clue of this plot, and second, Vanessa will not die, this plot line is still very long.

It seems that it's just a branch, or a disguise, and what is buried in the ground is the real plot line, but it's a pity that none of the players who started the plot are here.

Ye Zhi absentmindedly added blood to Oriao, expelled the DEBUFF, and the channel of the noodle master mercenary group was turned on and off, closed and opened, what should he say to make the clues of this plot line not appear so deliberately in front of the noodle soup master.

Another gap, Vanessa once again used the group chaos technique, after several waves of attrition, the priests have been able to control the situation well, and in the shortest possible time, the chaos debuff can be expelled.

Vanessa's group chaos technique didn't have much effect this time, but instead put herself in crisis.

The gap between Orio and Orio was deliberately set aside to allow Vanessa to use her skills to weaken the team, and then take the opportunity to completely suppress Vanessa.

Vanessa wasn't stupid either, and saw her injuries getting worse and worse, screaming and retreating.

"Gary!"

Ye Zhi was stunned, and the city lord was also stunned.
