216 Tavern Standoff

While waiting for the waitress to come back, Lin Chi picked up the cup and drank a sip of goat's milk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There's no point in eating and drinking in the game, but it's a good pastime to experience the taste of "exotic food". After all, in the real world, he would probably never drink such a thing.

History is always strikingly similar, just when Lin Chi sat in front of the bar and put his arms on the table. In front of the tavern, there was another knock on the door.

Hearing this voice, the strong man who had just nailed the door panel shouted helplessly: "Knock the door open!" ”

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and a man fell into the tavern with an icy cold wind, and several people who were sitting at the table playing cards turned their heads to look at the person who had just come in, and scolded loudly: "Close the door quickly!" Bastard, don't get in the way of us playing GWENT. ”

"That's a big difference." Lin Chi sighed in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi immediately realized that the other party did not have a high-ranking status such as "Shadow Guard", and in the eyes of these NPCs, he did not get any respect at all. But......

- This guy is also a player, right?

Lin Chi raised his vigilance a little and stared at the person who had just entered the tavern:

The man was dressed in a suit of light leather armor that was almost frosted, and his face was covered with ice ballast, and he shivered, as if he might return to the West at any moment.

Although the average player will not be frozen into this ghost under the protection of the rules of the game. But it is not ruled out that this person deliberately pretended to be like this.

In Advent mode, it's much harder to tell if the opponent is a player or not than in deathmatch.

After all, in this mode, the NPCs possessed by the player are all aboriginals. The "handsome guys and beauties" face pinching method that is common in deathmatch will not appear at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn't say anything, just pretended to be a "hidden master", and continued to sit at the bar, playing with the wooden cup in his hand.

He knew that when he couldn't confirm the identity of the other party, the other party couldn't figure out the details of himself.

In this state, it depends on which side shows the horse's feet first.

Lin Chi stayed for a long time, and the young man in light leather armor pulled a chair and sat beside him. Staring sideways at the "old hunter" beside him, he asked tentatively, "How are you?" ”

"Hello." Lin Chi turned his head and glanced at the guy, and asked casually, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I've just arrived in this area, and I can't figure out what's going on." The young man said and pulled the brim of the cap on his head: "Can you ask, is there a war here lately?" ”

This person's speech is almost like the player's standard line when talking to NPCs. However, such a straightforward remark made Lin Chi suspicious.

"Are you a mercenary?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

"No, no, no, I'm a scavenger." The young man with a blue face rubbed his red hands: "There are treasures in the Savia Valley, maybe you can make a fortune!" ”

Looking at the other party's excited appearance, Lin Chi put down the cup and reminded casually: "There may be a war recently, you'd better not run around and save your life." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The young man, who claimed to be a scavenger, thanked him again and again, stared at the glass cabinet behind the bar with some confusion, and asked, "Where's the bartender?" ”

"She's got something going on right now."

"Then I have a question...... "The scavenger spoke again.

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Lin Chi had already stretched out his right hand and said in a dumb voice, "Take the money." ”

"Huh?" The scavenger didn't react for a moment: "What? ”

"I'm not an intelligence merchant, but I don't answer questions for free." Lin Chi said and moved his fingers: "If you need information, you can pay, it's as simple as that." ”

By now, he was almost certain that the young man wasn't a gamer.

After all, players simply don't make such stupid self-declarations. The scavenger who looks suspicious is probably just an NPC that has been frozen stupid.

However, even so, this person is still useful......

Lin Chi casually glanced at the tavern hall behind, there were currently four people playing cards, and the three people next to him were watching. In addition, three people occupied the three empty tables scatteredly, drinking sullen wine without saying a word:

- There don't seem to be many such gathering places in the Frozen Savia Valley, and it's likely that there are other players hiding in this tavern, maybe even more than one.

Although he seemed to be happy, Lin Chi could still sense that there seemed to be an invisible haze, floating in the air inside the tavern along with the smell of alcohol.

And in the uncertain situation, all you need to do is be patient.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to talk to the scavengers beside him, but saw the silver-haired woman finally coming down the stairs, holding a square box wrapped in a white cloth in her hand.

"I got it." The hostess laughed.

Lin Chi noticed that everyone in the tavern seemed to cast meaningful glances.

He nodded, took the box in the hostess's hand, pretended not to notice anything unusual at all, and whispered, "I'll go first." ”

"Wouldn't you like to stay a little longer?" The waitress's voice sounded a little reluctant.

"I'm going to go home and get some sleep."

Lin Chi opened the wooden door that had just been nailed by the strong man again with one hand, and the silver wolf, who was originally lying by the door, also immediately stood up and shook his body, and stood beside him.

A man and a wolf left the tavern and returned to the snowstorm.

This time, Lin Chi did not leave directly, but walked around the tavern a few times, and after covering up his footprints with the silver wolf, he lay down in the snow not far in front of the tavern.

"Go over there." He ordered in a low voice.

As if he understood his master's order, the silver wolf quickly ran towards the west side of the tavern, while Lin Chi continued to ambush at the door, observing the situation inside.

The blizzard provided him with a natural camouflage, covering him with a layer of white.

After about ten minutes of waiting, the broken wooden door of the tavern finally opened again.

The first to come out was the young scavenger, who still had a curious expression on his face, and turned around and asked, "The horse you said is here?" ”

"Yes."

Accompanied by a rough male voice, the bald strong man who had contracted to open and close the door just now also walked out of the tavern: "If you need it, I can give you a preferential price." ”

"I just need a horse."

The scavenger said, happily walking towards the back of the tavern.

The bald man turned around and closed the door, and then ...... He pulled out the short knife that hung from his waist.

It's a pity that this big man, who had been patiently lurking in the tavern for a long time, didn't even have time to make a move, and the old hunter who had been hiding in the snow suddenly stood up and put an arrow with barbs on the bowstring of the recurve bow!

- Kill him!

At the moment when Lin Chi made a move, the strong man also noticed his presence, and while dodging to the right side of his huge body, he tried to remove the round shield behind him.

Bang!

Arrows tore through the air like bullets and nailed to the wooden walls of the tavern. The speed of the other party's dodge made Lin Chidu slightly surprised.

At this time, the strong man had already drawn his short sword and rushed towards him.

The speed of this big man was completely inconsistent with his seemingly bloated body, and before Lin Chi could put away his recurve bow, he saw that the other party had already rushed up, swinging his short sword and slashing at his head!

But before the sword could fall, the strong man's right wrist was bitten by the silver wolf that came out from the side.

"Ah......h

The strong man who was hindered by Lin Chi's "pet" broke out a low roar in his chest. It's a pity that this player with strong physical attributes has obviously not learned how to deal with the bite of a wild wolf.

Without waiting for the guy to break free, Lin Chi's second arrow was already on the string, standing at a distance of less than three meters, aiming at the opponent's shiny head.

This time, the strong man could no longer dodge.

At the same time as the silver wolf let go of his mouth and jumped back, the bald man had been shot through the forehead by the "old hunter" with an arrow, and his body was actually taken backwards to fly two meters away, and he fell heavily into the snow, stirring up a white snow mist.

With the death of this person, Lin Chi's field of vision lit up with a line of small red characters:

"You killed a player!"

The bald man's body did not disappear immediately as in the death match, but continued to lie motionless in the snow, and the snow under his body slowly turned dark red.

Although he had killed the enemy, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance, but cast his vigilant gaze on the back of the tavern where the scavengers were.

- Even if the scavengers hadn't heard the sound of the battle, it would have been too quiet in the back.

When Lin Chi walked briskly around the wooden building and came to the stable at the back of the tavern, he saw a long series of footprints on the snow.

Judging by the magnitude of the pace, it is obvious that the scavengers have fled all the way.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi reacted almost immediately:

"Is that kid really a player?"

- Although the scavenger seems stupid, he is actually an old and cunning "old fritter". This person is trying to pretend to be a novice and lure other players hiding in the tavern to reveal their identities.

In this way, even if he didn't kill the strong man, the scavengers should be ready to kill him......

And now, realizing that the strong man has been killed, the kid also decisively chose to flee and avoid a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

This kid shouldn't be a random character with extremely low combat effectiveness, so he can only be such a yin person, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing, turned around and left the stable, and walked to his wooden house along the route he had come.

Rather than continuing to chase after the fleeing player, he was now more interested in the not-so-heavy box he had just obtained.
