Chapter 19: The Territory of the Ruins

Leaving the square, Zeyi walked straight to the inn through the many onlookers who surrounded him, and walked along the gravel path towards the inn.

Walking down the street, he looked at the bustling players and NPCs around him, and looked at the busy leveling maniacs, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

The significance of this strategy battle, Ze Yi naturally knows that as long as the strategy is successful, then he can join the circle of front-line players and become a member of the strategy group, and he is going towards this great significance.

But something like that happened......

Thinking back to the gloomy and terrifying expression of the Tooth King when he was preparing to team up with Kirito, Zei became more and more sure that he had some kind of ulterior plan, and that plan was aimed at Kirito.

How did the Tooth King become like that, why did he target Kirito, and Kirito is a closed beta player...... Too many questions surrounded Zeyi's mind and gave him a headache.

However, Zeyi can be sure that there will be greater contradictions and conflicts between the Tooth King and Kirito in the strategy battle.

And this is the real reason why Zeyi finally gave up participating in the strategy war.

"Why did you come out and don't plan to participate in the raider war?"

Zeyi didn't need to look at it, she knew that it was Argo, after all, her piercing hoarse voice was very unique, and it was slightly inferior to the strange Kansai accent of the Tooth King.

But even though he knew it was Argo, he didn't know how to answer Argo's question.

Argo looked at the irritable Zeyi and said jokingly, "You won't be bothering the cactus?"

Ze Yi was stunned for a moment, "Cactus head? ”

"It's that stupid guy from the Tooth King, that guy's hairstyle is the same as a cactus, no, his whole person is the same as a cactus."

Hearing Argo's evaluation of the Tooth King, Zeyi's inner troubles dissipated somewhat, but they still pressed on his heart like a mountain.

"No, you're really bothered by the Tooth King's accusation of the 'Newbie Guidebook'?"

Argo looked at Zeyi, who was still pondering, in disbelief, "Even I, the maker, are not distressed about that matter. ”

"No, I'm distressed about something else."

"What's the matter?"

Facing Argo, who was aroused, Zeyi said something that he had no clue.

"The Tooth King seems to be interested in something from Kirito."

"Indeed, the Tooth King entrusted me with spending money to buy Kirito's sword, and what is even more strange is that he clearly has a sword in his hand that is not inferior to the 'Anneal Blade'."

β€œAnneal BladeοΌŸβ€

"A longsword that has been strengthened three times for sharpness and three times for durability."

Zeyi heard Argo's introduction, looked down at his sword, and muttered, "It seems that there is still a big gap between me and Kirito!"

"What did you say?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Zeyi panicked to hide his strong feelings for Kirito, and at the same time hurriedly changed the topic.

"What I'm really troublesome about is in case there is a conflict between the Tooth King and Kirito in the Raiders battle."

"Is it because I'm afraid that something will happen, and I don't know whether to choose to help Kirito or help the Tooth King, so I choose to give up this precious opportunity by giving up on myself?"

"So to speak."

So instead of not knowing what to do in trouble, it is better to stay out of the matter, and this is the only way Zeyi can think of.

"It seems that Ze Yijun also has the weakness of "not being able to handle peer conflicts"!"

Argo looked at Zeyi, who was still distressed, with an eerie smile on his face.

"Would you be interested in completing a very rewarding task with me? It's just the right time to relieve your irritability. ”

The bad wind blew with bad intentions, and Zeyi decisively chose to refuse.

"You want to use me as a coolie again?"

"How so? This time, I was paid 10,000 kΓΆlls. ”

β€œ1…… 10,000 ...... Kell? ”

Zeyi's amber eyes lit up, and he felt like he was suddenly overwhelmed by a large pile of coins, surrounded by Kol.

Addicted to fantasy, he completely forgot about the yin wind just now, and accepted Argo's proposal without hesitation.

Walking out of Torbana, you can see the endless wilderness, and the labyrinth tower on the north side of the first floor is particularly eye-catching, but unfortunately Zeyi may never be able to enter it once.

His and Argo's destination was on the east side of the labyrinth, the innermost part of the ruins area.

In order to ensure their own safety, the two went to the store to buy a large number of potions before leaving, from recovering blood to relieving poisoning.

Then I bought some white bread and some spring water, and set out when I was fully prepared.

Along the way, he encountered many wild monsters, but none of them were the enemy of Zeyi's sword, and they all turned into purple experiences and disappeared into the air.

And after so many days of leveling, he also understood the meaning of the cursor above the wild monster's head.

That should be something like a warning. The higher the level of the mob, the darker the cursor above the mob's head, and vice versa.

Take the wild monster in front of him at this time, it is level 5, and Zeyi is level 10, so the wild monster has a pink cursor above its head, which is a vulnerable notice.

Zeyi casually killed it and continued on his way. After crossing the overgrown path, Zeyi and Argo finally arrived at the ruins.

Due to the scarcity of wild monsters in the ruins area, and there is no town to live in temporarily, many players did not stay here for long, and as soon as they cleared the regional boss, they left here impatiently and went to the famous Torbana.

This has led to everything here being unknown to many people and unexplored.

"Are we really going in?"

The white ash that flies like wind and sand fills the sky, the crackling of broken wooden plaques, and the whirring sound from time to time are all quite like the ghost haunted scenes in movies.

Argo opened a map of realization, and after swinging from side to side, he looked at the blood-red markings on it.

"Of course you want to go, you don't want the 10,000 kor in payment?"

The hoarse voice full of determination gave Zeyi a lot of courage.

But......

"Hey, why are you hiding behind me!"

"Who made you a boy, the level is still higher than mine."

At this time, Argo's voice was no longer as firm as it had just been, and his hands trembled and clutched Zeyi's coat, which was in stark contrast to what he had just done.

Zeyi looked around helplessly, the ruins were still the same as they had just been seen when he came in the valley, desolate and weird.

The area covered with white sand is blurred, and you can only vaguely see the surrounding scene, but in this place, there is no need to worry too much.

Just because there are no mobs here, just like there are no towns and no NPCs, even the basic mobs of the game don't exist.

As its name suggests, it is a forgotten place.

This place, which should have been the same as before, has become different with the entry of Argo.

In the innermost area, Don prominently displayed a huge figure, a penetrating roar echoing through the sky, warning intruders who stepped into the ruins.

"Here we go, a well-paid mission."
