Chapter 173: Thirteenth (Battle of the Contract)
More than eighteen years have passed since Zheng Ming entered this world. This almost caught up with the long length of his previous life, and allowed him to gradually adapt to the environment, the people, the backwardness, and the slightly barbaric concept.
Sometimes in the dead of night, when everything is silent, Zheng Ming, who stands alone on the top of a semicircular house and pours himself a drink, can't help but sigh. The passage of time had made him forget a lot, and he no longer had the impatience to return immediately. Even the objects he kept in his storage space, symbolizing the past, disappeared in the battle with Drogo Ryan.
This is the case with Zheng Ming at this time. He sat on his knees on the roof alone, picked up the bottle in his hand, and poured the contents into his glass.
Stroking the round and smooth wine glass, looking at the wine that exudes a cold luster under the moonlight, Zheng Ming was stunned.
This was left to her by Britney back then, and of course the "love" wine in it had already been drunk by him, but he still did not throw away the bottle and glass, and kept it as a souvenir.
"Is something going to happen again?"
The presence of players in the early days made Zheng Ming uneasy. Each of them has different abilities and power-ups that have the potential to change the course of the battle. However, after several wars and conquests, he discovered that there were few players in the kingdom of Carthus, except for the arrival of many players in the kingdom of Carthus.
This is also the reason why the Celtic Kingdom, which is obviously not large in territory and has only the top powerhouses Arthur, Zheng Ming, Ainzfield and Red Dragon, has been able to expand rapidly over the years. I have to admit that the players played a pivotal role in this.
After several years of observation, Zheng Ming also summed up some rules of player arrival.
Every time something big happens, a large number of players will come. In the same way, every time you see a spike in the number of players, something is almost certain to happen.
Just as Zheng Ming was drinking the wine in the cup one by one and watching the starry sky, he suddenly remembered the erratic sound in his ears.
"Lord Shadow of the Throne, the King has something to summon you."
The other party's hoarse voice and the almost morbid gloom in it made Zheng Ming frown. He turned his head to look at a shadow below.
"You're one of Cohen's subordinates? I remember hearing your voice. ”
The Shadow didn't reply. Zheng Ming confirmed his judgment from the breathing sound of the seat that suddenly sounded and disappeared without a trace.
"You guards really like to play tricks. Come out, these don't work for me. ”
The breeze blew, and the hazy moonlight in the sky, which was obscured by a wisp of clouds, became brighter and brighter. Under Zheng Ming's gaze, the increasingly dark shadow shook slightly for a moment, and then a figure shrouded in black robes stepped out.
"Worthy of a dragon slayer, Ming. These methods of mine seem to be of no use to you. ”
"Has the player infiltrated the Dark Guard?"
Hearing Zheng Ming's question, the figure under the black robe suddenly tensed, and the energy around him fluctuated even more violently.
"Looks like the rumors are right, you really have the ability to identify the rest of the players."
"That's why you are hiding in the shadows and offending me by revealing your murderous intentions to me? I can give you one last chance to convince me. ”
"I've heard people talk about you. I've heard that you're almost at the top of this world, but that's against the natives. I don't believe you can ...... a player with a variety of means. ”
Originally, he was going to say something to save some black shadows that hid his face, but when he saw Zheng Ming who suddenly appeared in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly turned into pitch-black smoke and retreated.
"Intensify."
A flat voice sounded, and before the black shadow could get out, a large black hand pulled him out of the black fog.
"My patience is limited."
Seeing that above the jet-black arm that grabbed his throat, the legendary terrifying black flame was about to ignite, and the black shadow hurriedly shouted loudly.
"My name is Kuka, ...... the Phantom Society"
Kuka sensed Zheng Ming's impatience from the tightening force in his throat. He didn't care about disguising his voice anymore, and shouted in his original voice.
"Britney! Number two. I learned of your existence from Mouth Two. I'm the thirteenth member of the Society. Originally just wanted to try you. ”
As the name of the woman she longed for in her heart blurted out, Zheng Ming was slightly stunned and then slowly let go of her hand. Unable to confine, Kuka weakened to the ground and coughed violently.
It wasn't until the other party lifted his hood that Zheng Ming saw the other party's appearance clearly. This is a little girl with short hair and an immature appearance. In addition to the big exaggerated eyes, the facial features are small and exquisite, and he looks like a small jasper.
"You just said Britney? Do you know her? ”
"What do you say? I'm from the same guild as her, can I know her? ”
Zheng Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a wry smile. I have to admit that the number two, who haunts him all day and is as hot as fire, has indeed left a deep imprint on his heart. So much so that he would ask such obvious stupid questions.
"How is she?"
"It's still the same as before. Indulge in the game all day long and progress to the dungeon to complete the mission. Oh yes. She's going to open a bar in StarLinx's player service area. I'm busy right now. ”
Seeing Zheng Ming's stunned expression and sighing, Kuka's smart eyes rolled slightly.
"And she told me about you. I heard that 'Ming' and 'Love' are what she tailors for you? ”
Kuka slowly stepped back as he talked about topics that Zheng Ming might be interested in. Until he felt that he had retreated from a safe distance, he suddenly turned into a black shadow and quickly retreated.
"Is it really okay to waste time chasing me? Is King Arthur still waiting for you? ”
Seeing Kuka's actions, Zheng Ming, who subconsciously wanted to catch up, gradually relaxed his tense leg muscles after hearing the words left by the other party.
He chuckled as he looked at Kuka, who had faded into the darkness.
"You think you can escape?"
After whispering a word, Zheng Ming turned around and walked in the opposite direction. The first priority was to get to the palace first to see what was going on. He knew in his heart that Arthur would be summoned in the middle of the night, and something important must have happened.
"As for you, as long as you stay in the royal capital, there will be a way to find you out in the future."
On the canopy of a private house, he noticed Kuka from a distance when Zheng Ming turned to leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the shadows among the leaves. She touched her neck, which was still aching faintly, and patted her small breasts, which had not yet begun to develop, with a look of fear.
"Whew~~~ It's dangerous. Almost killed. It's terrifying. No wonder No. 2 told me not to provoke him. Can he just catch me out of his ability, is he a monster? ”
What she didn't know at this time, because of her reckless behavior just now, she had been targeted by the monster in her mouth.
