Chapter 15: The Assembly

Du Qi saw Genya again at the Wild Lily Hotel. Although the time has not been long apart, the temperament of this big brother has become more dusty, as if he is an immortal who will ascend at any time.

When Yuan Ya knocked on the door, Du Qi was still lying on the bed and fell asleep, and after waking up, he went to open the door with a disheveled appearance, and asked who the other party was with sleepy eyes. It wasn't until Yuan Ya explained his intention that he woke up suddenly and hurriedly apologized to the other party. "I'm sorry, Brother Yuanya, I've been in the wild these days, I'm so tired, I'm a little dazed." He hurriedly stepped out of the way and invited the guest into the house to talk.

"It's okay, Duqi can contribute your personal skill patterns for free, I admire it very much. Although our current understanding of runes is still very superficial, a new set of patterns is of great significance to our derivation work. I also had a reluctant request to ask more about the origin of the pattern. Yuan Ya sat down on the wooden chair and raised her hand to push the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, "I wonder if the little brother would mind telling me more about the situation?" ”

"Brother Yuanya, the reason why I convened this meeting is to share with you what has happened recently, I don't think there is much time, why don't we talk about it later? Actually, I also have a lot of questions that I would like to ask. ”

"Little brother is too generous, then we will solve the problem of communication first." Yuan Ya raised his hands and gestured a few times, and the tips of his right fingers seemed to have some kind of magic, leaving light blue traces in the air. These traces seemed to have life, and under the control of his constantly shaking left hand, they gently twisted and turned into several runes of the same shape.

Not to mention the rest, the ability to work with the right and left hands alone made Du Qi embarrassed.

"Huh...... This rune is ......" Duqi looked at his arm, and some of the lines on it looked very similar, as if they had been disassembled from it by some means.

"That's right, this rune was dismantled from there. It's a pity that so far, we can only barely parse this single character text. Also, I don't think it's perfect, maybe I don't understand it well, or maybe there are some problems with the drawing method. As she spoke, Genya's eyes seemed to light up with a faint white light. His hands were playing a piano in the air, directing the runes to begin to entangle and merge with each other. After a few moments, they transformed into a more complex pattern. "Open your buddy system and place it near your forehead." As he directed Dozi's actions, he stretched out his right hand and pointed it on Dozi's forehead.

The light blue lines slowly sank into Du Qi's forehead along Yuan Ya's hand, and at that moment, Du Qi had a wonderful feeling, as if something that was bound in his body like some kind of chain was broken. Closing his eyes, he could now clearly feel a dozen familiar breaths like flames swaying gently in the darkness.

"Is that breath another player?" He opened his eyes and looked around blankly. He suddenly received a request to connect, and subconsciously chose to accept.

"You're right, now you can connect with any player in range if you want to, and you can communicate over long distances with consent." Genya's voice suddenly sounded in Du Qi's mind, "We have also recently started to use this kind of assembly method, not only to avoid eavesdropping, but also to prevent others from investigating our relationship to the greatest extent. Recently, many people in the city have begun to inquire about us. ”

"It's really practical."

"I think it's about the same time, you come to the East End Market later, and we'll meet in that area. Remember, find a random place to sit and behave naturally without looking too strange. ”

Seeing off Yuanya, Du Qi quickly washed up, left the hotel and walked to the market. As the time of the rally approached, he sensed many players along the way, most of whom were unfamiliar to all but a few he'd seen a few times.

"Speaking of which, how many players are currently in Eagle City?" Du Qi sat in a small café and ordered a drink leisurely, while finding his old friend Qi Xin among the many flames.

"We've been looking for other players, and so far there are ninety-three of them, so I don't know if there will be players in other cities as well. If you can, it's a good idea to bring more people together. ”

"Unlikely...... In the afternoon, I heard the lord of the city mention that it seemed that because of the resurrection incident, he had sent people to the surrounding cities to make secret visits, but he did not find a similar incident. ”

"Maybe he's lying? I want to test you. ”

"Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Ahem...... It's almost time, there are a lot of people here today, there are 76 people, thank you very much for your support. Yue Min's voice suddenly sounded, "It's Du Qi who convened this meeting today, and I think many people may not know him yet." But it doesn't matter, I would like to say that Dozi brought back some very valuable things from outside and shared them with us selflessly. Therefore, on behalf of all the players, I would like to thank him first. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Boss Yuemin." "I know you're busy, and thank you for taking the time to come to the rally. In order not to delay your time, I will make a long story short, and I hope that this information will be helpful to you. First of all, I'd like to briefly describe what I've done when I've been out of the city these days......" Du Qi recounted as briefly as possible in a flat tone the process of obtaining the mission, carrying out the mission, and later coming into contact with the lizardmen, and finally mentioned a conversation with the city lord Shengyan not long ago, "The above is what I have seen and heard during this time, if you have any questions, or any opinions, please feel free." ”

"It's incredible, I didn't expect us to be able to get a mission in this world. Actually, I tried to make a deal with the local caravan, but unfortunately it didn't trigger the mission, it was just treated as a normal transaction. Yue Min sighed with emotion, and then put forward his own conjecture, "I originally thought that there was no so-called mission or plot in this world, but according to Du Qi's experience, it is very likely that some kind of major event can trigger the mission." ”

"Including this expedition, according to the city lord, he wants to win us players into the operation, and Duqi has also received a new mission. So, does this mean that as long as we participate in the operation, we are likely to receive the same task? One player said aloud, "And the so-called reputation system." ”

"It's okay to guess, but there's a catch. At least in my personal opinion, the attitude expressed by Shengyan cannot confirm the authenticity. Is he really trying to win us over? Or is it just trying to lure us in? "After all, our appearance was too sudden, and I must have been on the suspicion list, so I don't need to hide it." As for the other players, you still have a choice. ”

"On that point, I think it's eight points credible." Xia Ying, who has never liked to talk much, suddenly spoke, "I know a big event about the Rocky Kingdom, maybe there is some reference value, you can listen to it."

"I remember the incident happened one hundred and thirty years ago, when the Kingdom of Rocky had not yet entered the Holy One Alliance. Oh...... Some people may not know that the Holy One Alliance is a multinational alliance dominated by the Holy One Cult, and the so-called Holy One Cult is the temple that hunted down our resurrected players before. One hundred and thirty years ago, the Kingdom of Rocky had a civil strife, and almost the entire north, including the royal capital of Shiguan City, fell. At that time, the surviving members of the royal family fled all the way to the southeast of the kingdom, where they struggled to resist the rebels with the help of the local lord, the Duke of Moonlake. However, at that time, there was only one duke in the kingdom, and it was too weak to support it, and the royal family asked for help from the Holy One Sect in desperation. They promised to join the Holy One Alliance and sacrifice a piece of territory after the restoration of the country in exchange for the help of an elite army of the Holy One Sect. It was also during that period of counterinsurgency that the Holy One Cult built temples throughout the Rocky Kingdom, infiltrating its own power throughout the kingdom. Now that the Holy One Church is gaining momentum in the Kingdom, even the coronation of kings must be presided over by the Pope himself. ”

"In other words, Xia Ying, do you think the city lord's position is credible?" Qi Xin asked.

"The struggle between theocracy and kingship, I think believable."

"Obviously, the sudden appearance of the player group will affect the balance between the two sides, and since the theocracy is suppressing us, it is natural that the royal side will consider cooperating with us." Xiao Fu was also expressing his opinion, "Of course, the royal power side is by no means good, and it is more likely that they are just using us to deal with the Holy One Sect. However, it is difficult for us to refuse such a request for cooperation at the moment, because there is no other side to cooperate with each other. All in all, I think the player's biggest advantage is mystery, and we should continue to keep it that way, and any cooperation should be premised on that. ”

"What about the Wild Guards? Since the game has given us the status of a wild attendant, can't we cooperate with this organization? A player asked.

"It's hard." Yue Min quickly rejected the proposal, "I specifically understand that the organization of the wild service is very loose, more like an agency responsible for evaluation, and at the same time an intermediary agency for tasks, and it does not have a strong internal cohesion. It is precisely because of this that countries will allow the free development of wild servants. As a result, this organization is well-known and has a presence in various places, but it is not very powerful in its own right. ”

"In other words, Boss Yuemin, you also think that we should cooperate with the kingdom's side?"

"I think it's a great opportunity. Of course, what Brother Xiao Fu said is also very reasonable, we can cooperate with the kingdom, but we must maintain our own mystery. I have a suggestion for you to listen to. Yue Min thought for a moment and sorted out her thoughts, "First of all, we need to confirm some information. As for the temple, we have to confirm whether they will really obey Shengyan's orders, including the master-apprentice relationship that Shengyan said, which is not difficult to inquire. If they do send elite troops into the battle this time, then even if a player dies and is resurrected in the city, we have the ability to ensure their safety in the event of an accident. Secondly, we need to draw up a remedial plan, and if Eagle City plays Infernal Affairs with us, we must have a backup to deal with it.

"So, here's what I suggest. Led by Du Qi, send a group of players who are good at fighting to participate in this combat operation, the number of which is between twenty and thirty, and the other players continue to keep a low profile. If the action goes well, these people will become the backbone of the player base in the future. If the operation fails, we still have enough reserves hidden. Duzi, regarding the soul inheritance you mentioned, I hope you can find a way to win us the opportunity to dissect the corpse of a monster. I've inquired, and the aborigines don't seem to have this concept, so it should be something that only players can enjoy. ”

"I'll find a way to discuss it with the city lord." Douz nodded.

"Except for the players who participated in the battle, I would like to divide the rest of the people into five teams, two of which are responsible for monitoring the temple and the city guards, and the other group is responsible for the team's participation in the vicinity of the Holy Spring after the expedition. In addition, we should also have a group of people as communication personnel, we can only communicate within a radius of two hundred meters at the moment, but if it is properly arranged, we can make the message reach all players in a short period of time. As for the fifth group, I intend to take the risk of forming an elite squad that, in the event of the worst, will immediately retaliate in the city and show the outside world what we are capable of with a tough reply.

"I know very well that this operation will be very risky, especially for the people who are involved in the expedition, so it is up to everyone to decide. As for my suggestions, you can always suggest ways to improve them, the Flying Eagle City side will not go out immediately, you still have a lot of time. If you think about it, you can come and sign up, and I will make arrangements according to the actual situation. ”
