Chapter 47: The Story of the Last High-Level Player
"Ahhhh I fell...... It's painful! It's really painful! It takes a beautiful sister or sister kiss to get up! Actually, Miss Lei Ruoya, you're good, or help me! "The fat man rolled wildly on the ground, and fell to the ground in a scoundrel manner.
Lei Ruoya was a little speechless, but she still explained her purpose to the fat man on the ground - she had spent so much time specifically finding this legendary hidden NPC, naturally to ask him for information.
But when the intelligence dealer who was lying back on the ground heard Lei Ruoya's words, he said that he was unwilling to stand up for anything: "Miss Lei Ruoya, don't you want to get any information from me now!" Last time, you took a spatial ring from me in an almost threatening way of not revealing my true information to the girls. I've been disgusted by your behavior, so I've decided not to sell you any information! β
Fat Padge's face flushed as he spoke, and his tone was indignant, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Lei Ruoya's approach.
Xu Ke was a little surprised, but it was the first time he knew that the space ring in Lei Ruoya's hand turned out to be from this obscene fat man.
When he heard the words of the fat man, Xu Ke's heart suddenly jumped.
He had seen the whole process of Lei Ruoya's strategy NPC, so he knew very well that the latter would take some close to reckless methods when raiding certain NPCs, just trying to get the most out of the NPC and the current benefit.
Previously, Lei Ruoya only said that she received a notification about the system-triggered task, but did not say how she completed the task - now it seems that most of the time she has taken some drastic measures.
It took so much time for her to find this fat man in an almost crouching way, and the importance of the information she wanted to inquire about must be extremely high.
But the attitude of this intelligence trafficker is ...... at the moment
Just when Xu Ke fell into deep thought, Lei Ruoya continued to ask the fat man with a normal face, "Mr. Paji...... You really don't sell me information? β
"Not for sale." Pudge's words sounded unusually resolute.
"Really not for sale?"
"It's really not for sale."
"Don't think about it?"
"Don't think about it, Miss Lei Ruoya, your last behavior has already reduced my favorability towards you to a negative score, even if you bid 10 million gold coins, I won't sell you a piece of information." Peggy's answer was extraordinarily firm, as if he had really made a decision.
"That's a pity." Lei Ruoya's words were full of regret, but her face was still calm.
Lei Ruoya thought for a moment, and then suddenly said something unrelated: "Mr. Peggy, your skill in pretending to be an elf is really amazing, if it weren't for my habit of touching porcelain outside the tavern, I really couldn't find you." β
Hearing this, Puji's face suddenly turned a little proud, but soon he made a straight face again: "Even if you compliment me, it's useless, I won't sell your information if you say anything." β
Unexpectedly, the other party just smiled and shook his head when he heard his words: "I think Mr. Page misunderstood me." β
"I just wanted to say...... I know a well-behaved, lovely, well-read half-elf girl, since Mr. Peggy is so good at disguise elves, wouldn't it be nice to introduce her to you? β
"It's not appropriate to introduce Miss Nanshui to this kind of person......" Lei Ruoya's behavior of betraying his teammates made Xu Ke a little speechless, "And seeing that he is so serious, he should have made up his mind...... No matter how much you think about it, you won't change your mind because of this kind of thing. β
Lei Ruoya waved his hand and motioned for him to remain silent.
After the fat man Paji heard Lei Ruoya's words, he was stunned at first.
Then, under Xu Ke's surprised gaze, the intelligence dealer who claimed that tens of millions of gold coins could not shake his will, the serious expression with a little indignation on his face turned into ecstasy at this moment!
As if in heat, his barely visible eyes shot out of excitement!
The intelligence trafficker, who had been full of seriousness and principle, turned into a magpie in heat in an instantβthe fat man's face changed unexpectedly.
"Miss Lei Ruoya is this true!?"
"Naturally, as long as you can provide the information I want, I can deliver all the girl's information to you on the spot."
"So what are we waiting for!? Let's get started! The fat man slapped his thigh excitedly and quickly got up from the ground at a speed that was completely out of shape with his body.
Xu Ke couldn't help but be shocked by his brazenness when he reacted like this after hearing such a sentence.
But what happened in front of his eyes in the next moment made him not even have time to think about why this man was so brazen-
The moment the fat man got up, his figure changed dramatically again!
The short and obscene fat man turned into a tall and handsome male elf in the blink of an eye, and Xu Ke and Lei Ruoya who were present didn't even see the process of change!
From the beginning to the end, from the appearance, to the body type, to the hair, and even to the clothes on the body, the fat man is suddenly completely changed!
Before, he could see the process of change from an elf to a fat man, but this time, Xu Ke only felt ...... The fat man completely transformed himself into the image of an elf out of thin air!
The fat man who turned into an elf was faintly a head taller than Xu Ke, and when he stood up, he could actually look down at the two people in front of him condescendingly, and the fat man on the ground before would not have such a height.
Even when he knows the true face of the other party, the image of the fat elf still looks like a standard template.
Xu Ke looked at Peggy, whose image had changed greatly, and naturally had a question in his heart:
β¦β¦ How did he do it!?
Padge's green eyes looked at Lei Ruoya tightly, and slowly spoke, "Miss Lei Ruoya, what do you need to consult?" β
Even his voice was not as rough and unpleasant as before, but became as warm as the sun.
Lei Ruoya seemed to have seen this scene a long time ago, and did not make any unnecessary reaction after hearing this, just stared at the other party's eyes seriously: "I want to know ......"
"That adventurer from a few years ago ...... the story of the 'Blade Dancer.'"
Xu Ke, who was originally completely attracted by Paji's unwarning image change, suddenly jumped his eyelids.
Naturally, he had heard the story of the 'Blade Dancer' - in fact, almost the entire natives of Belial City knew the story of the adventurer who killed the lord and was eventually proven innocent.
When he first heard this story, he wondered......
You must know that this is a continent where murder is punishable by death, why was the adventurer known as the "Blade Dancer" who killed the lord of Belial City, but was finally found not guilty?
And it was the official of the Human Empire that gave him a certificate of innocence...... What did he do so that the officials of the empire would come forward to explain it for him?
But all the stories about the adventurer in Belia are the same version, and no one knows what the adventurer did or why he escaped the law.
Xu Ke had spent a lot of effort to collect information on this matter, but several major professional guilds and adventurer guilds did not have this information, so he had no clue about this matter.
And Reroya has now raised the question to Padge, is it ......
Does this hidden NPC really have more detailed information?
He looked at Puji, who had been fully transformed into an elf, and noticed that the latter had a confident smile on his handsome face after hearing this.
"Miss Lei Ruoya, you're asking the right question," he nodded, looking down at the two in front of him, "The story of the 'Blade Dancer' is widely circulated outside, but the vast majority of people who know this story ...... They were just ordinary people, and many of them hadn't even seen the 'Blade Dancer' in person. β
"But as one of Belia's most mysterious and well-known intelligence mongers, I do know that...... Many other things that many people don't know. β
"Mr. Peggy, please." Lei Ruoya reached out and made a "please" gesture.
"If you want to tell his story, I think Miss Lei Ruoya, as an adventurer from another world, must be most concerned about the story of him killing the city lord," Puji, who turned into an elf, glanced at Lei Ruoya as he said this, "The story that is circulating in Belia City now should be that the first thing the 'Blade Dancer' did when he arrived in Belia City was to kill the castle lord's mansion and kill the lord of the castle at that time. β
Pu Ji noticed that Lei Ruoya and Xu Ke were both looking at him seriously at the moment, and his tone became more and more mysterious: "This statement is actually not accurate, if you want to be precise, he should have been in Belia City for more than two months before killing the City Lord's Mansion, and the meaning of the story should only refer to the first major event he did after coming to Belial City." β
"After killing the castle lord's mansion, the main body of the story is indeed as it is said in the legend, the adventurer finally killed the castle lord at that time, and this incident shocked the entire Belial City at that time."
"But?" Lei Ruoya asked without hesitation when she heard this.
Peggy smiled, and her warm voice suddenly took on a somewhat mysterious feeling: "But ah...... After killing the lord of the castle, things are not as simple as in the story. β
"The 'Blade Dancer' in the story claims that he didn't kill the wrong person, that he killed for a reason...... So he naturally persevered until the official intervention of the Human Empire, and finally the Empire settled everything for him, proving that the actions of the 'Blade Dancer' were indeed innocent. That's where reality differs from story...... If in reality, an adventurer from another world of unknown origin killed the lord of a city, how could he not condemn his death sentence based on his personal claims? How could this adventurer hold out until the Imperial officials came forward in person? β
Xu Ke subconsciously nodded in agreement with Puji's statement.
"That's true, so what happened next?" Lei Ruoya frowned as she spoke, as if she was thinking about something.
"In reality, after killing the City Lord, this adventurer was captured by the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion on the spot. Although the previous city lord was arrogant and lascivious, and he was extremely unpopular with the people, the Azure Continent itself was almost forbidden to kill, and the people killed by the adventurers were still in important positions. Therefore, the next day, the staff at that time announced that the adventurer had been sentenced to death, ignoring the adventurer's explanation. β
"In the story, 'Blade Dancer' was not executed." Lei Ruoya's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange look.
"In fact, he wasn't executed," Pudge shrugged, "because on the day he was executed...... Something has changed. β
"The specific details of the day were officially blocked, so I don't know very well...... All I know is that on that day a woman suddenly broke into the castle lord's mansion and seemed to show something to the staff at the timeβI don't know what it was...... Oh, please don't look at me like that, I got this information from an informant in the military, and I can't know more about it if the informant only knows it. Peggy noticed that Lei Ruoya was staring at her with wide eyes, and quickly waved her hand.
He paused, and then continued: "But I know that it was because the woman who suddenly appeared showed that thing to the staff that the matter was forced to the Imperial Officials. The Empire officials immediately stated that there was nothing wrong with what the adventurers had done, and quickly pacified all the effects of the incident - replacing it with a new lord and staff, and strictly prohibiting the major professional guilds from spreading everything related to the event, so you can only hear that version of the story in Belial. β
"Who is that woman?"
"Later, we investigated the woman and found out that she seemed to be an adventurer who had come to Belial City with the 'Blade Dancer'. But in the more than two months since she came to Belia, her whereabouts have never been known, and it is not known what she has done or what she has shown to her staff. He seemed to remember something, and added, "It is said that it was a woman with curly burgundy hair. β
"Burgundy, curly-haired woman ......," Lei Ruoya muttered repeatedly.
But just as she subconsciously repeated the sentence...... A somewhat familiar woman naturally appeared in her mind!
A tall woman with curly burgundy hair and an ordinary little boy beside her.
Shocked, she looked up at Peggy and asked, "The 'Blade Dancer'...... It's actually a little boy, right? β
When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately thought to himself, how could Miss Ruoya make such an inexplicable and illogical statement.
But Pudge's slightly surprised answer surprised him, "Miss Leroya, how do you know?" β
"Originally, I was going to be the last to say it, but I thought that many people, including Miss Lei Ruoya, didn't know about the rumored adventurer 'Blade Dancer'...... Actually, it's a little boy, a very small boy. β
There was a thoughtful look on Pudge's face, "When he first appeared in Belial...... I want to think about it...... It must have been two years ago, and the adventurer looked like a boy of five or six years old at most. β
Lei Ruoya's face suddenly became strange.
Originally, she just wanted to confirm some of the judgments she had made through the deeds of Belial's famous adventurer "Blade Dancer".
But he never thought that on the first day he came to the Miracle Game, he had already met the "Blade Dancer".
