Chapter 209: Candle in the Wind (1st Update)
Could it be that a player has been found in the right way?
It was an absolute bonus.
Fang Yi's original purpose was to find a foursome who pretended to be pigs and eat tigers, but now that he had made this discovery, his focus immediately shifted.
The value of moonlight jade is not clear, and the player's head is real.
However, after waiting for more than half an hour, no one came out.
This made Fang Yi suspicious.
There's no reason, release a task, why hasn't it come out for so long?
With a deep groan, Fang Yi stepped out of the shadows and came to the old wooden house.
Imitating Shi Wu's technique, two long and one short knocked on the door.
At the same time, his body tensed slightly, one hand was hidden behind him, and he took out the Black Crossbow Machine from the item space, ready to start fighting at any time.
The Black Crossbow Machine was quite satisfying to Fang Yi in terms of power and performance.
The only problem is that there are too few crossbow arrows, and the more they are used, the less they are used.
Unless you find the right blacksmith, the right iron ore, imitate it.
Otherwise, there is no way to add at all.
If you use ordinary crossbow arrows, the effect is directly reduced, and the meaning of use is lost.
Fang Yi hadn't found good materials and blacksmiths for the time being, so the matter could only be put on hold.
At most, you can leave a crossbow arrow so that you can recruit people to build it later.
I really can't help it...... Then you can only sell the Black Crossbow Machine and squeeze the last value.
As for not using modern weapons such as pistols now, it is because Fang Yi does not want to reveal the player's identity for the time being.
If the code is wrong, something happens.
The means and characteristics of the killing will not be too obvious.
Creak.
When Fang Yi thought of this, the wooden door opened a gap.
It's still those bright eyes.
"Raw faces? Who introduced you? ”
The people inside were not nervous when they saw Fang Yi.
It was probably because that distinctive knock came into play.
However, judging from the words of the other party, it seems that Dusk will attract new customers by a similar guarantor.
It is necessary to have a reliable introduction of talents.
Fang Yi thought about it and felt that as a new customer, it shouldn't be abrupt to ask some elementary questions.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Fang Yi asked, "What?" Can't you do without an introducer? ”
"Hah! Without an introducer, who can find the hiding spot of our Twilight Society? ”
The person inside chuckled, the laughter was quite good, it should be a girl.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say that the introducer, let's come in first."
It's so easy to let people in?
Although it can be a little difficult to knock on the door and find the location.
But this vigilance also seems to be too weak.
Pushing open the wooden house and entering inside, Fang Yi finally saw the owner with bright eyes.
Dressed in black, only her eyes are exposed, and her figure is concave and convex, she should be a beauty.
The wooden door closed, and Fang Yi checked the situation in the house while being wary of the black-clothed beauty.
On a wooden table in the middle of the room, there are five candles.
Next to it is the remains of a flat candle.
The incision was neat, not like it burned out naturally, and it should have been cut off with a dagger.
A faint candle light will illuminate the surroundings.
The furnishings in the house are no different from ordinary people's homes, except that the furniture is a little tattered, the dust has accumulated several layers thick, and there are no traces of use at all.
In addition, there are cobwebs all over the corner of the house, and it looks like it is deserted.
After a slight glance, Fang Yi quickly realized that there was no one else in the room except for the beautiful woman in black.
But I had clearly seen the panicked man and Shi Wuyou enter the house before......
Could it be that there is a secret passage in this house?
"Your Excellency must be the first time you've come to see me at the Twilight Meeting, right? Preparing to place an assassination order or an intelligence order? ”
"Information leaflet."
"Okay."
The beautiful woman in black came to the wall, groped for a moment, and suddenly pressed down.
Zizizizi.
The stone slabs on the ground moved, revealing a staircase that spread downward.
Handing over one of the candles on the table to Fang Yi, the beauty in black said lightly: "Go down and go straight, see someone, report my name, someone will receive you." ”
"Name?"
"Listen to the wind."
"Okay."
Fang Yi glanced at the remaining four candles on the wooden table, and the remnants of the candles that were originally flat had turned into three.
It seems that the candle represents the number of people entering the secret passage.
"You're going to only entertain seven guests tonight?"
Before entering the secret passage, Fang Yi paused and suddenly asked.
Listening to the wind girl, she seemed to be a little surprised, and then said lightly: "No, I am only going to entertain five guests." ”
"Five?"
"Hmm."
Two candles were given to the panicked man and Shi Wu.
Among them, the panicked man is an insider, not a guest.
In other words, there is also an insider, or the Listening Girl herself needs to use one.
I always feel weird, is this candle at dusk still rare?
A closer look revealed nothing out of the ordinary.
Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yi entered the secret passage.
Bang.
The entrance behind him was closed, and there was no light along the way.
In this environment, for ordinary people, the only thing they can rely on is the candle in their hand.
But Fang Yi is different, he has a certain night vision, so it doesn't have any effect.
The passage is straight and long, with a strange creaking sound from time to time, as if stones are rubbing against each other.
Half an hour ahead, the secret passage still did not see the head.
But the wind in the secret passage has become louder and louder, and there is often a strong wind blowing, which should not be far from the exit.
It stands to reason that ordinary candles, under such strong winds, should have been extinguished a long time ago.
But the candle in his hand is still safe and sound under this kind of wind, which is indeed a bit unique.
It's just that whenever a strong wind blows, the candle will suddenly burn a few points fiercely, which is very indurable.
By the time the light appeared ahead, the candle was close to burning out.
"Little brother, the windward candle is about to burn out, why don't you hurry up and come over, don't you die?"
At the end of the light, a short figure stood, beckoning to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi's heart moved, and he quickened his pace slightly.
Finally, before the candle burned out, he rushed to the man's face.
Standing in front of him was a short, sturdy guy with extremely small eyes that gave the impression of a thief's eyebrows.
As soon as Fang Yi stood still, the small-eyed man immediately said familiarly: "Little brother, is it the first time you come to the twilight meeting?" Playing with such a heartbeat, I sweat for it. ”
"This brother is ......"
"Lee."
"It turned out to be Brother Mouse, listen to Brother Mouse, I was very dangerous just now?"
"Of course, without the Windward Candle, the traps of the Dusk Society will be activated immediately, and the secret passages will begin to close, crushing you into a piece of flesh!"
…… What kind of mechanism technology is this, it's too strong, isn't it?
"This, there is such a magical trap at dusk?"
"It seems that the little brother doesn't know anything about the Dusk Society, the founder of the Dusk Society was originally a member of the royal family of Quansi Country, not to mention anything else, the technology of traps is absolutely first-class in the world.
Later, for some reason, he fled to the border of the Yongzhou Kingdom and took root.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the trap technology has been lost, but the great masterpieces of the predecessors have been preserved and are still in operation today. ”
