Chapter 206: The Ferry Boat on the Magma
Natsuki is deliberately provoking, yes, provocation.
If the identity of the beggar is a black hand hidden in the shadows, Natsuki is now planning to make the identity of the millennium a target to attract firepower on the surface.
Anyway, Natsuki is very sure that it is impossible for them to find out their identity in reality through the positioning of the game helmet and so on, so in the game, why not be a little arrogant.
"So again, what is in the dungeon? Or is it really just a façade from the beginning, just to attract people to provide you with the materials to make Magatama? Natsuki said more and more bluntly.
"Of course not, there are still some good things in the dungeon, but it depends on whether you can get it, or if you have a life to take it." The demon man listened to Natsuki's words, and said with a more solemn face.
"Really? Then I'll see. Natsuki said with a smile.
In this way, Natsuki did not stay in the store too long, but turned around and walked towards the dungeon not far away.
"Huh? Wait for me, Qianqian-san, what the hell were you talking about? I don't understand. Tom immediately caught up with Natsuki and asked.
"Of course you don't understand, it's just a matter between us, so if you still want to visit the dungeon, then you can come with me, if you don't want to go around, then leave the game and go back, anyway, I guess we won't meet in the future." Natsuki said with a smile, in front of the demon man, to clear up the relationship between himself and Tom.
Just now, on a whim, he was suddenly ready to be arrogant and see if he could attract anything, so now naturally he couldn't pull Tom into this matter that had nothing to do with him.
"Why, of course I'm going to go shopping with you, and I'm curious about the dungeon! And what does it mean to never see an interview again? Let's swap friends, and we'll see you again in the game later. Tom said as he chased after Natsuki.
"Swap friends, good! It's not a big deal either. Natsuki didn't want to go too far with the deliberate skimming, so he said with a smile.
The two of them walked towards the dungeon, and soon came to the entrance of the dungeon's gate.
Outside the tall city gate is a moat.
It's just that unlike the city moat on the ground, which is made up of river water, the moat here is filled with lava.
So there was still some distance to go, and Natsuki was already feeling the blazing temperature emanating from the magma in the moat.
"It's so hot in here." Tom followed, but her eyes remained unblinking, staring at the magma in the moat.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to get up close and personal with magma, even in a game, who would call this game so real.
"yes, and the whole city looks empty, as if it's been abandoned." Natsuki said as he led Tom through the city gates and looked at the empty city.
"But, didn't the man just say that there is a ferry boat or something? Yes! Ferryboats, there really are, over there. Tom was puzzled at first, but then he saw a ferry boat gliding on the lava, and immediately jumped and shouted happily.
"I saw it, but it still can't change the fact that the city is empty!" Natsuki said, looking around.
"So, why don't we take a ferry?" Tom said expectantly.
"Okay, let's sit down for a while." Natsuki nodded.
So the two of them waved at a ferry, and soon the ferry boat was heading towards Natsuki and the others.
And the one holding the boat on the ferry boat is an elderly demon NPC with a goat's leg.
"Hello two gentlemen, welcome to my old Baggy's ferry, do you want to visit the dungeon?" The old demon said to Natsuki and Tom with a sly glint in his eyes as set up.
"Yes, please tell us about the dungeon." Natsuki and Tom said as they boarded the ferry.
"No problem, everyone knows that my old Badge is the most simple and honest, please rest assured." The old demon's eyes flashed with a sly glint according to the setting.
I have to say that this NPC is so vivid that I don't know that I really think it's a real person.
But NPCs are NPCs after all, and the next old demon Old Bucky is carrying Natsuki and Tom on a boat with magma as river water, shuttling through the dungeon.
Old Badge introduced the two of them to everything in the dungeon while continuing to act out ill-intentioned characters.
However, Natsuki and Tom didn't pay attention to this, after all, they were just NPCs.
And Natsuki listened carefully to Old Badge's introduction to the dungeon, and nodded from time to time.
In this way, as the ferry boat deepened, Natsuki also learned more about the entire dungeon.
First of all, this dungeon has indeed been abandoned, and there are only a few living beings still living here to make a living.
There were all races of them, and they all survived in this abandoned city.
As for the reason for the abandonment of the city, according to the old demon Old Buggy, it was because a certain demon lord abandoned it.
But these are just background settings, Natsuki knows the real reason, that is, the plot setters behind the game, set the plot like this, that's all.
So Natsuki doesn't care about the reason for the abandonment of the city, he only cares about the current state of the city, because based on the current state of the city, it can be roughly inferred that the game company will position the city in the future.
According to the introduction of the old demon Old Baggy, Natsuki has a deeper understanding of the city, which has all the infrastructure that a big city needs, and even has an abandoned teleportation array, which can be put back into use with a little repair.
There are also other former sites of the Adventurer's Union, which can be opened as long as the Adventurer's Guild is re-stationed.
From then on, Natsuki can be sure that this city will definitely be open to all players in the future, but for the time being, it will be used as a battlefield for the top elite players to fight to the death, to cultivate Magatama.
"It looks good, it seems that the city will gradually become lively in the future." Natsuki stood at the bow of the boat and nodded.
"yes, yes, this city is amazing." Tom was also fascinated by this magical city during his tour.
After all, a city built in the middle of a river of magma is impossible in reality, that is, it may exist in the game.
However, just when the two of them sighed about the city, the old Baggy, who had been flashing in his eyes, finally made a move.
He slid the ferryboat to the center of a large magma pool, and then stopped the ferry.
"Oh, two guests, it's really unfortunate, old Bucky I suddenly feel unwell, can the two guests add a little boat posture, so that my old Buggy can have some money for medical treatment." Old Badge blackmailed bluntly according to the set language.
"How much does it cost?" Natsuki looked at this NPC with more interest.
"Not much, not much, just ten times the fare." Old Badge said.
"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to give it, although it doesn't have a lot of money." Natsuki shook his head and said.
"Those two guests will leave their lives behind." Old Bucky instantly showed a fierce face, but he didn't pounce on the fight, but directly began to shake the boat at the stern, with a posture of wanting to shake everyone on the boat.
However, old Bucky runs the boat all year round, and even if the boat shakes badly, he may be able to stand steadily, but guests who have not undergone this kind of training are generally not good.
"Ah, Millennium-san, what are we going to do, I don't want to fall into the magma and burn to death." Tom couldn't help but hug Natsuki's arm, stabilize his body, and shouted.
Just when Old Badge showed a triumphant smile according to the program's settings, Natsuki moved.
"Get down." Natsuki first reached out and pressed Tom's body down, causing Tom to lie on the bow of the boat in an exclamation, temporarily stabilizing his body.
At the same time, Natsuki stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword on his body, and his body shot out like a sharp sword, and on the boat that was shaking more and more violently, Natsuki also galloped forward along the edge of the boat as if he were walking on the ground, and then the sword pierced the throat of Old Baggy, and then the sword was flicked, and the old Baggy with a smug smile on his face, the body fell into the magma and was burned to ashes.
Immediately losing the constant shaking of old Bucky, and the hull of the ship gradually stabilized, Tom stood up again with some fright, and walked two quick steps to Natsuki's side again, and held him tightly.
"Millennium-san, what are we going to do next? Aren't you trapped here? Tom said with some eagerness.
"Don't worry, if he can drive, so can we." Natsuki said as he came to the position where Old Bucky was manipulating the ferry boat just now, reached out and grabbed the two oar-like things, figured out the use of these things after a little study, and then controlled the ferry boat to lean towards the shore.
Tom was completely relieved.
"Okay, now it's okay, I'm ready to quit the game." Natsuki stood on the shore and said to Tom.
"Huh? Is Millennium-san going to quit? Okay, it's really time to log out, but we're going to log out here, and the next login will be online here, right? Is there any way to get out of the dungeon then? Tom asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, the dungeon should be fully opened in a few days, and the dungeon will naturally be directly teleported to the surface city at that time, so don't worry." Natsuki said.
"In this case, then I am relieved! Millennium San, thank you so much today, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Tom said with a smile as he looked at Natsuki.
"Ah, I'm also very happy, so I will meet again." Natsuki said with a smile.
"Well, I'll see you soon." Tom nodded heavily.
So the two said goodbye here and quit the game.
The summer moonlight sprinkled on a large mansion, and the flowers in the courtyard were luxuriant, and the roses that crawled all over the walls of the mansion gave off a faint fragrance of flowers.
A room in the mansion with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the window of the room is surrounded by clusters of roses, and the balcony outside the open floor-to-ceiling windows is gorgeous.
In this gorgeous room, a snow-white girl on the luxurious bed was slowly taking off the game helmet on her head, and the maid who had been standing by the bed and waiting immediately stepped forward to take the game helmet from the girl's hand.
"Miss, how is it to disguise yourself as a man?" The maid respectfully took the helmet and talked to the girl without losing her intimacy.
"It was a very interesting experience and I met interesting people." The girl said with a smile on her face.
"That's good, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest." The maid said.
"Well, I know, but I don't want to sleep tonight." The girl got up from the big bed, stretched and said.
"What do you mean?" The maid asked.
"Look at the moon, it's so beautiful tonight! You can go and prepare some refreshments for me. The girl said as she walked towards the balcony that connected to the large bedroom.
"Okay Miss, please wait." The maid bowed and turned to leave.
The girl had already come to the balcony, stood on the edge of the balcony, reached out and gently grabbed a rose that spread on the edge of the balcony, leaned over and sniffed, and then smiled and let go of the rose.
Then she turned around and sat down on the seat on the balcony, the night breeze sent the fragrance of roses all around her into the balcony, the girl's nose was surrounded by the scent of roses, she looked up at the moonlight in the sky, although there was the influence of the distant metropolis light, which made the moonlight appear slightly dim, but in the eyes of the girl, it was still so beautiful.
It wasn't until a moment later that the maid came back with the brewed black tea and all kinds of refreshments, put the black tea and refreshments on the small table in front of the girl, and poured a cup of tea for the girl.
"Miss, please use it slowly." Then the maid stood behind the maid and stood there.
"You don't have to stay here with me, I want to be alone." The girl waved her hand and said.
"Okay Miss, please call me if you have something." The maid bowed slightly, turned and left.
So the girl was left alone in the balcony again, she held the black tea in her hand, looked at the moon in the sky, and drank a sip of black tea from time to time, and the night passed quietly until the night was getting deeper and deeper.
The courtyard of the mansion was quiet, only the sound of a car engine in the distant city from time to time was one or two, and only the last little sound was left when it arrived here through the layers of barriers.
The sound was not even as loud as the cicadas chirping in the night.
In such silence, the girl finished enjoying the black tea in her hand, then stood up with a sigh and walked towards the bathroom that came with the bedroom, and at the same time beckoned the maid to wash up before going to bed.
The night is dark and the moon is bright.
