Chapter 23: The strategy is complete
In the central square of Torbana, a large number of players have accumulated at this time, and the unique colors of the equipment enhancement almost the entire square are illuminated.
Players make their way to the portal in the center of the plaza in the crowd, eager to see the scenery on the second floor.
When a dazzling blue light appeared out of thin air and shone on the center of the square, the players rushed over excitedly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And outside of this crowded crowd, on a stone step, Ze Yixiao looked at the scene on the square with interest.
"It seems that the success of the strategy game has completely stimulated the enthusiasm of the players."
After drinking wine yesterday, he went to the various shops, bought a lot of necessities, and came to the square after being fully armed.
He was going to go in first, but after finding the crowd of people, he decided to wait first, he didn't want to crowd in there.
Standing on a high place, he also found a lot of familiar figures.
For example, on the stone diagonally opposite him, a hooded, suspiciously female figure sat leisurely, eating white bread dipped in milk.
Behind her, there was the tall player who accused the Tooth King of his actions, remembered what his name was Akyll.
He was filled with an aura of majesty, causing many players to deliberately stay away from it, causing it to form one of the few open spaces.
Zeyi's gaze continued to patrol the rest of the world, and he spotted the blue-haired scimitar who often followed Tilberu and the remaining four people in the crowded crowd, who were struggling to squeeze forward, trying to grab more resources and tasks.
As for where Tilberu went, Zeyi also found out a little from the team that returned not long ago.
It is said that he was killed by a sudden situation because he snatched the final blow of the kobold lord and left Ayn Grant forever.
And the mastermind behind this time is the closed beta player Kirito, who insidiously and deliberately misreported the boss's skills, in order to grab the final blow and get the precious items dropped by the first layer of the boss. After his conspiracy was revealed, he was forced to abscond into the second floor.
Thinking of the scene of fighting with Kirito, Zeyi believed that Kirito was accused by the other players of the United Team after getting the final blow, and in order to alleviate the contradiction between the closed beta players and the official players, he called himself the so-called Closed One and went to the second layer alone.
However, although Zeyi believed his own conjecture more, he was skeptical of either one until the truth was known.
Perhaps, she knows the truth.
With Argo's mouse costume in mind, Zeyi searched for her in the crowd of players.
The hard work paid off, and he spotted Argo in the crowd near the periphery, but now that she was drowning in the crowd, Zeyi had no chance to get close to her.
It seems that there will only be time to inquire later.
"Ze Yijun is here, he is really a person who likes to be quiet."
The unique Kansai accent came from behind Zeyi, and he turned to look at it with some surprise.
The Tooth King stood only half a meter away from him and looked at the square, and behind him stood five players with different equipment side by side.
Seeing Zeyi turn around, the Tooth King retracted his gaze and lowered his head in silence.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry!"
Zeyi looked at the tooth king who bowed and apologized in confusion, and couldn't think of why he apologized to himself.
"I'm very sorry for concealing the truth about Ze Yijun, for denying Ze Yijun's strategy book, and for stopping Ze Yijun from joining Kirito's team!"
After the Tooth King finished speaking, the followers behind him also bowed their heads and apologized.
"This ...... What the hell is going on! β
Looking at the six people in front of him who lowered their heads very deeply, Ze Yi felt that he was the one who was deeply guilty, and he hurriedly told the Tooth King that they didn't have to be like this, and asked them to sit down and explain slowly.
The Tooth King, who was sitting on the stone steps, gritted his teeth and said, "Everything comes from Tilberu's greed."
"Tilberu? The captain of that combined team? β
"Yes, he was the one who contacted me, who was in a state of grief and anger, told me the list of players in the closed beta, and promised me the opportunity to expose the hidden beta players in person at the strategy meeting.
In exchange, I agreed to help him buy Kirito's one-handed sword through an intelligence merchant.
At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I readily agreed to him, but I didn't expect that he had lied to me.
It was only when he ordered the crowd to back away and snatch the final blow, that I realized that he was also a closed beta player that I hated. β
After listening to the words of the Tooth King, Ze Yi probably knew the reason for a series of problems at the strategy meeting that day.
The reason why Tilberu, who was the planner of the meeting, did not stop the tooth king from complaining, the disappointment that flashed Tilberu when someone stopped the tooth king, and the reason for the embarrassment of the tooth king when he decided to join Kirito's first team, it turned out that everything was Tilberu's plan.
But how much of all this is true? If Tilberu was still alive, Zeyi would still be able to find out, but for now......
Looking at the tooth king next to him, Zeyi didn't know whether to believe his words or not.
"I know why Kirito is called a hermesian after the strategy is completed."
Seeing Zeyi's unsure eyes, the Tooth King said again: "At that time, a blue-haired scimitar named Linde came forward to accuse Kirito, and pointed the contradiction at the closed beta player, causing the closed beta player to be resented by the players, and Kirichi called himself a closed one in order to avoid contradictions."
"Then you who hate the closed beta testers, why don't you join the team that fights the closed beta players?"
The Tooth King was speechless for a moment, he knew that he might not be able to explain it anyway today, but he still stood up firmly.
"I'll prove mine with my actions."
With that, he led a few of his followers out of the stone steps.
ββββββββββββββββ
On the west side of Torbana's central square, in a dilapidated room, a player in a raincoat is exuding hearty laughter.
Opposite him, Nezha and the other five companions were looking at him in amazement.
The first thing this player who has always been regarded as an NPC by Nezha and them is "If that guy is a forger with combat skills, he has a super cool way to make money."
Then, without waiting for Nezha to speak, he said a lot of words in one go, probably meaning "quick switching", "dropping the bag", and "strengthening himself", and then walked outside the door, as if he was in a hurry.
"What do you mean! Isn't that a crime? β
The poncho man, who was about to leave, let out a clear and pleasant laugh, "This is in an online game, huh?" The only things you can't do are the ones that the system prescribes in the first place, aren't they? In other words, you can do whatever you want to do what you want...... Don't you think so? β
After the poncho man who said this left, Nezha and the others laughed like a demon, and their eyes burst with strong desire.
"That's right! This is also something that the system allows. β
