The time when Natsuki returned to Rutsukiso was the time when he came back after the usual club activities.

Recently, he has not been back at this time for various reasons.

So when Natsuki pushed open the door of Rutsukiso and entered the second-hand bookstore on the first floor, Rutsuki, who was sitting on a tatami mat and drinking tea, glanced at Natsuki with eyes full of differences.

"Xia Shujun is so punctual today, is it that he has been busy with everything recently?" Ruyuexia said to Natsuki with a smile.

"No, I'm busy with something new today." Natsuki was also a little helpless when he mentioned this.

"Huh? But being able to come back at this time doesn't seem to be a particularly serious matter. Ru Yuexia continued to say with a smile.

"yes, it's not a serious deal. Miss Xia, what about you, why aren't you in the game? Natsuki also laughed and asked after answering.

"Occasionally, I want to open a store, after all, I've been open for so many years." Ru Yuexia said with some emotion in her tone.

"In this case, then I still have something to do, so I'll go up first." Natsuki nodded, and prepared to go upstairs.

"Xia Shujun, is this going up? Why don't you have a cup of tea together? "Ruyuexia invited.

"No, next time, there's something going on today." Natsuki waved his hand and refused.

"Okay then, Xia Shu-kun, don't work too hard." Ru Yuexia said with a smile.

"Why, I know how to combine work and rest." Natsuki laughed too.

With a wave of his hand, he went up to his room on the second floor.

Closing the door, Natsuki opened the window and looked out the window at dusk, there were no burning clouds in the sky today, but the fiery red sunlight still stained the streets red at dusk.

Natsuki watched quietly for a moment, then lay down on the bed again, put the game helmet on his head, and entered the game.

When Natsuki re-enters the game, he is in a somewhat desolate landscape, with the yellow sand horizon in the distance, and he is in the middle of a teleportation array on top of a withered yellow sand dune.

This is a land with a long stretch of yellow sand, everything is swallowed by the desert, and it is also the place where Natsuki teleported to when he left the country of the Organ before.

Natsuki hurriedly quit the game without taking a good look at this place before, and it wasn't until he entered the game again that Natsuki was able to take a good look at it.

"What a spectacular view! But now it's not a matter of appreciating this, Maeda is at the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild, and the adventurer's guild's headquarters is in Steel City, the capital of the Steel Empire. Natsuki muttered this information to himself, and then activated the teleportation array, teleporting towards the City of Steel.

So in the blink of an eye, Natsuki appeared in a brand new city.

It's a city made entirely of steel, and everything is full of a sense of slaughter, even the buildings on the street are decorated with all kinds of steel parts, all kinds of knives and guns are commonplace, and there are even high-rise buildings in the shape of armor.

There are also tall skyscrapers that stand there like rifles combed.

That's right, it's skyscrapers, there are countless high-rise buildings, the city skyline is very high, and the buildings are also very exotic.

That's how Natsuki came to this city, which doesn't seem to be boring.

"Doesn't it look like a good city, the City of Steel? Speaking of which, isn't the identity of the empress of Saori Kamiyo the empress of the Iron Empire? That's her palace over there, right? Natsuki turned his head to look at a land floating in the sky in the distance, and on that land there were all kinds of magnificent buildings, that is, the palace of the Iron Empress, and the Iron Empress was Kamiyo Saori.

However, Natsuki had no intention of looking for her, but turned around and walked towards the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild.

That's right, it's the headquarters, not the branches located in various cities, if there is any core in the game world of Legend of Mountains and Seas, then the Iron Empire, which is the strongest empire, is the core, and the Steel City, the capital of the Steel Empire, is naturally the core of the core, so the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild will be established here, isn't it a matter of course!

As for why Maeda is here, it's very simple, when he encounters something that he is trapped in the game, so if he wants to leave, he naturally has to work hard to pursue clues and investigate the truth, and where can there be more convenient to investigate than the core of this core.

Walking a short distance along the main road of Steel City, Natsuki got into a taxi-like vehicle that was soliciting customers on the side of the road.

In the whole world of mountain and sea legends, there are many strange vehicles, including cars like cars in modern society, steampunk-style steam cars, magic cars driven by magic power, and even vehicles dragged by various monsters and spirit beasts.

In short, there are all kinds of strange vehicles, and the vehicles that appear in human fantasies can be found here.

Natsuki explained his location to the NPC who was driving, and soon the car drove him to the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild.

It was a skyscraper in the middle of a cluster of skyscrapers, and the first floor was full of pedestrians, all players coming and going in and out of the Adventurers' Guild.

Natsuki got out of the car, so he gathered in this flow of people and entered the headquarters hall of the Adventurer's Guild, and soon saw the figure of Rina Maeda in the agreed way, on the seat with the number, according to the number agreed at the beginning.

As for the figure standing next to Rina Maeda, it should be Matao Maeda.

"Hello, Maeda-san." Natsuki walked over and greeted Rina Maeda.

"You're, Kazama-san?" Rina Maeda immediately raised her head and looked at Natsuki, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, that's me." Natsuki nodded, and also nodded to the person who seemed to be Mazuo Maeda on the side.

"But didn't you say you were a thousand years? But what do you look like and are wanted above? Rina Maeda hesitated.

And the person who was suspected of being Mazuo Maeda also showed a puzzled expression.

"I've just changed my face in the game a little bit."

At this time, Natsuki was still using the appearance after wearing a mask, so it was not recognized.

At the same time as Natsuki said this, he also took off a little bit of the mask on his face, and suddenly the invisible mask appeared, and Natsuki's changed appearance also returned to its original appearance in the game.

Rina Maeda and the person suspected of being Mazuo Maeda immediately determined that this face was the wanted millennium, after all, the two of them had just reviewed the millennium face many times.

"Quick, put on your mask and don't be seen by anyone." Maeda said quickly, and looked around nervously.

So Natsuki quickly put the mask back on.

"Well, believe it this time." Natsuki said with a smile.

"Well, it's Kazama-san, I'm sorry, I just suspected you." Rina Maeda said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's good to solve the misunderstanding." Natsuki said absentmindedly.

"Hello, Kazama-san, Rina told me what happened, and she said that you have a way to let my trapped consciousness leave, right?" Maeda said with a nervous look.

"Don't get excited, although I have a way, but not now, you should also know, this kind of thing is not so easy." After Natsuki carefully looked Maeda up and down, he persuaded him and said.

It's just that Natsuki told a lie, and it was actually easy for Natsuki to send his consciousness away, but for the time being, he couldn't do it.

"I understand, I need to do something, Kazama-san, just say yes." Maeda nodded solemnly and said.

It seems that he has already been mentally prepared, or if Natsuki tells him that he can let him leave easily, he will not be able to believe it and think that Natsuki is a liar.

People are like this, for things that they can't do, but others can easily do it, they will subconsciously think that the other party is lying.

"First of all, let's get out of here first, find a place where it's convenient to talk, I have some things to understand first." Natsuki looked at the messy adventurer's guild hall and said.

"Then, let's go to where I live." Maeda said.

"Where to live?" Natsuki's tone was a little curious, because players didn't need a place to live, after all, they came in to play games, and when they were tired of playing, they went offline to rest, who would deliberately get a place to live online.

"That's right, because I can't go offline, I need to rest, so I found a place to live." Maeda nodded with a somewhat gloomy face and said.

"My brother's place is very interesting, I've been there a few times, and everyone is very friendly." Rina Maeda hurriedly wanted to say something light-hearted and distract her brother.

"yes, thanks to everyone's help, I was able to stay there." Maeda said with emotion.

"You're talking about everyone?" Natsuki asked with a stir in his heart.

"It's people who are trapped in the game like me, and I only found out when I met them a few days ago, so it turns out that I'm not the only one like me." Maeda said with a sigh.

"Well, that's right." Natsuki nodded, secretly saying luck, really want to come to something.

"That, Kazama-san, I actually have a reluctant request." Maeda hesitated and said.

At this time, the three of them had already left the office building of the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters, so Maeda didn't have to be as careful as he was in the building.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it. Natsuki asked indifferently.

"Excuse me, can Kazama-san, help liberate everyone's trapped consciousness? Let everyone's consciousness come back to reality? Maeda said nervously.

"Well, it's a bit difficult." Natsuki frowned, so he said in embarrassment, in fact, he was already laughing with satisfaction, this was his original plan, originally he was thinking about how to convince Maeda to help, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to say it at all, but Maeda Maio began to convince him.

"I know it's going to be difficult, but seeing that everyone is still stuck here, I'm the only one who can leave." Maeda clenched his fists.

"Yes, everyone is obviously a very good person, and they have been helping my brother all the time, if you can, can you let everyone get out of the game?" Rina Maeda also pleaded.

"Understood, I'll do my best, but this requires your cooperation." Natsuki saw that the heat was almost over, so he said.

It's not that Natsuki is deliberately pretending, he just wants Maeda to cooperate as much as possible in the future, only in this way can it be easier to do.

"Okay, I'll definitely cooperate fully, please Kazama-san." Saying that, Maeda even bowed to Natsuki.

"Please, Kazama-san." Rina Maeda also bowed to Natsuki after her.

"You're welcome, how can I say that our club has also accepted your commission, I will try my best." Natsuki nodded and said.

In this way, the three of them walked all the way in the opposite direction of the place where the skyscrapers were gathered, and after walking for a short time, they came to a place where the route was twisted and twisted.

Passing through the alleys, a place that seems to be a slum appears in front of you, and it can be said that there is such a place in this game world, which also surprised Natsuki, and it seems that the production team has also put a lot of effort into striving for authenticity.

However, although there is this kind of slum-like place here, there are no NPCs in it, after all, gamers basically don't come to this kind of place, so wouldn't it be a waste of resources to equip so many NPCs in this kind of place.

So the slums here look dilapidated, but surprisingly quiet.

It wasn't until the three of them, under the guidance of Maio Maeda, came to an elevator, got on the elevator, and headed for the one hundred and eighth floors of the highest building.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the one hundred and eighth floor, and as the elevator door opened, the lively and noisy atmosphere finally appeared in front of them.

It turned out to be a small settlement hidden on the roof of a slum building.

It looks like a dozen people living here in tents, but it's very lively.

"Yo, I'm back." The people who saw Maio Maeda greeted him one after another.

"Sister Rina is here too! Welcome Sister Rina. Another girl greeted Rina.

And Maeda Maio and Maeda Rina naturally greeted everyone happily.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were full of puzzlement when they looked at Natsuki.

"Yo little brother, are you also a lost person like us?" The person who had just greeted Madao Maeda said to Natsuki.

And the so-called lost people, just by listening to the name, should be the self-name of these people.

"The Lost? That's really not, I'm a classmate of Rina Maeda, so I'm here to see her. Natsuki said.

"Yes, Kazama-san is my classmate." Rina Maeda also said quickly.

"Hey, Rina-chan's classmate? Isn't it going to be, boyfriend? As they spoke, everyone began to laugh out loud.

Only Rina Maeda blushed and kept whispering, "No, no." The voice was drowned out in everyone's laughter.
