(3) Blood Raven (15)
Pushing the door into the room on the second floor, the disturbing sound of mine operations can still be heard clearly......
[Fortunately, this is just a game scene, otherwise who can stand to sleep in such a noisy environment?] Thinking so, Zuo Ci walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
From his room, he can not only see the outer outline of the entire mine by relying on the advantage of the high terrain of the mine, but also see the densely intertwined and complex steel structures on the inner rock wall of the visible part of the mine, and the manned elevator box that moves up and down on it. From this vantage point, the red crystal glow from the depths of the mine shone from underground, as if a fire was burning deep in the core of the mine.
And at this moment, Zuo Ci once again felt a strong gaze, just like the kind of direct gaze that he had never thrown off since the beginning of Raven Blood Village.
He instinctively turned his face to the right, and this time, instead of throwing himself into the air, he clearly saw a black-robed character standing on a dead tree in the middle of the slope, as if looking at him.
Why do you say it seems? Because the man's face was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, but it was indeed in his own direction......
Almost immediately, a legend about the leader of the blood ravens that I had heard from the NPCs in the Raven Blood Village appeared in my mind - [The leader of the blood ravens is called Knight, except that his face is covered with an all-black mask and no pattern...... ]
[Is this Knight?] Zuo Ci looked back at him expressionlessly, half-paid, and both of them stood motionless.
After staring at each other like this for about 10 minutes, Zuo Ci silently spit out a sentence: "Boring." ”…… Finally turned around and walked to his bed, and fell asleep.
The next day, I woke up in the middle of the hour, but when I went downstairs, it was still empty, and I think it was because the companions of the Lion Guild had worked hard for half the night yesterday to fall asleep, and they had not yet gotten up.
However, halfway through breakfast, I saw people coming downstairs one after another, and in a short time the entire hall on the first floor of the hotel was filled.
Nick and Sal were the first members to go downstairs, and after yesterday's harmonious conversation, the atmosphere between them and Zuo Ci had improved a few points. So, when they saw the thief, the two chose to go to the table where he was and sit down.
Nick ordered the food and asked the thief with a light smile: "Zuo Ci, will you come with us today?" The army is preparing to go to the Steel Fortress - if I'm not mistaken, the flag mentioned that you were going to the Steel Fortress, right? ”
"I'm going to the Steel Fortress, but not today, so I don't have to go along. I'm going to do quests around the area and level up. Zuo Ci said, pointing with his right thumb to a brown paper notice hanging on the mission wall.
"Level up here? Did anyone hook up with you? Thrall put on his blindfold again this morning and glanced at him with one eyeball, "This is not a novice village, there are dangers everywhere, and it is difficult to survive as a lone ranger in this world, except for an alien like Sorens." Even Cecilia, the notoriously berserk gunslinger, has a healing Tesla to partner with occasionally, so it's best to find a support companion to partner with you at this weak stage. ”
[Partner?] It's not that he doesn't like to cooperate with people, otherwise how could he come to the KK team full of achievements in the Origin World? But I do prefer to go it alone, so even in MOBA games where teamwork is crucial, I'm best at entering characters in the front row, and I don't like to let people grab too many heads.
[It's just a role-playing game, what's so scary, and it's not always around weirdos?] Zuo Ci took a sip of porridge expressionlessly, and his mind couldn't help but drift over the gloomy white face of the black-clothed swordsman "Anonymous......
"It's okay, I can handle it for now." Zuo Ci responded lightly.
"And what if you meet the characters of the two Iron Clans from last night? Those bloody men in our guild last night killed them three times after the corpse guard, what if they vendetta against you and still guard your corpse? Nick asked again.
"They don't stay all day, they need to eat and sleep." Zuo Ci remained indifferent, drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, then got up and walked to the wall covered with the mission's vellum paper, and began to study the route while combining the map that he had removed on the way back from the cemetery last night.
Selectively removed the kraft paper of 20 tasks, and when Zuo Ci was about to set off to fight monsters and level up, the Lion Guild and his party were basically ready to go.
Everyone gathered together to chat about nothing more than fighting, in addition to showing off last night's happiness and hatred, a few people standing not far from Zuo Ci chatted about blood crows...... This made the thief's mind suddenly drift to the black-faced black-robed figure who had stared at him outside the window last night.
Nick and Sal's very friendly talk last night made Zuo Cixin feel a little favorable, so before leaving, he still walked up to Sal and whispered expressionlessly: "I seem to have seen a black-faced blood crow standing on a dead tree outside the hotel last night, I'm not sure if this person is the legendary blood crow leader Nate." ”
After saying this, the companions of the Lion Guild immediately burst into a commotion, it turned out that everyone was so sensitive to information related to the "Blood Crow......
"Did those killers get here?" Nick walked over with a frown, his right hand touching his chin as if thinking.
Thrall's face was also pale at this time, and it seemed that the psychological shadow caused by the battle with Shura and the demon fox was not light, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Those shameless assassins should not be able to commit murder in broad daylight, we should be fine if we hurry up and rush to the steel fortress before dark." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room immediately resounded with a chorus of echo.
The members of the Lion Guild quickly packed up and traveled without delay, and Zuo Ci was about to go out, so he rode an ostrich and walked with them out of the mountain road leading to the mine, and then, the team will advance along the main road to the Blood Abyss Volcano, while Zuo Ci is ready to start his leveling journey from the surrounding wild area.
Before parting ways, Zuo Ci said to Sal, who was walking beside him: "If you encounter a demon with an animal mask again, try to close your eyes and wait for him to perform a trick before opening your eyes - I wanted to say this last time at the Raven Blood Village Hotel." ”
After saying that, he did not hesitate to turn in the direction of the plan, letting the land ostrich run wildly.
On the first day, doing quest leveling near the mine didn't encounter the problem of being harassed by high-level characters that Sal and Nick feared. Maybe it's because the level of the wild area he went to is around level 25 to level 35, which doesn't have the value of high-level character exploration, and Zuo Ci pays considerable attention to finding shelter to hide his whereabouts, but the whole process of fighting monsters and leveling up is still extremely hard.
Monsters that are 5 levels higher than themselves are already quite difficult to fight.,Not only can there be any mistakes in the battle.,You also need to rely on medicine to constantly replenish your blood and increase your spiritual power.,Not to mention monsters that are 5 to 10 levels higher.,At the end of each battle, you need to rest for a long time as a recovery.。 In addition, the unacceptable mistake is to attract the majority of monsters by mistake when recruiting monsters in the wild......
Fortunately, the fatal mistake was not made once, and although he was tired from fighting, Zuo Ci successfully promoted to level 4, and returned to the inn for the fourth time after nightfall, carrying a backpack full of loot.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he was surprised to see a familiar face sitting in his old seat, drinking and eating meat, and as he had done last night, Sal had taken off one side of his blindfold.
"Zuo Ci, let's have a drink?" Seeing the thief standing in the doorway staring at him with a blank face, Sal smiled wryly and raised his wine bowl in motion.
"I thought you had made it to the Steel Fortress." The thief said lightly.
"That's the plan." Thrall sighed, drank the wine from the bowl, and slammed the bowl on the table, "But we did meet those shameless blood crows on the way!" ”
"Blood Raven?" Zuo Ci frowned slightly, walked to the wine table and sat down. His interest was completely aroused, and just because of the word 'blood crow', he asked, "What happened?" ”
Thrall sighed again: "As you reminded this morning, Knight, the leader of the Blood Ravens, appeared with a group of crows, just as we walked into the Immortal Smoke Mountain Road. I didn't see how many of them there were, because the Immortal Smoke Mountain Road was already surrounded by volcanic ash smoke that obscured people's vision, but I was sure that there were a lot of blood crows this time, a lot of blood crows...... Hey, before we could see what was going on, we were all wiped out. ”
"Everybody's dead?" Zuo Ci's slightly frowning brows never let go.
"Yes, dead twice, it seems that the Blood Raven is deliberately trying to hinder our progress. After the second time, the plan was discussed in the graveyard, and it was decided to split up, one to continue the same way, to see how long the Blood Ravens planned to continue slaughtering, and the other way around the volcano and through the more dangerous extinct crater. As for me, I've already called the Elder for help, and he'll be sending a powerful legion to support me in a short time, so I'll stay at the Mine Inn until the help arrives, and take them to encircle and suppress the Blood Ravens. Sal said as he beckoned the innkeeper over, pointing to the wine bowl and motioning for Zuo Ci to add a bowl.
"Why does the Blood Raven fight against the Lion Guild at every turn? What is their purpose? The thief wondered - [Shouldn't this be a neutral force?] ]
"It's just a bunch of killers, and they're doing nothing more than money to do things, but someone must have paid a heavy price for their behavior that is so serious, and they have a lot of enmity with the Lion Guild......," Sal explained.
"Are you sure it's just a feud between the guy who paid for it and the Lion Guild?" Zuo Ci reflexes the questioning condition.
Sal was silent for a moment and muttered: "If you want to dig deeper, what you need to involve is national politics......
"Yes, last night you told me that the Lion Guild was entrusted to the cabinet, and the president was under the orders of Albert, the former prime minister of the powerful world, and such a big backstage could still be abused like this? I can't imagine how awesome the mysterious person who paid to instruct the Blood Raven Organization must be. Zuo Ci smiled mockingly, filling the empty bowl that the boss had just served with wine. It was quite interesting for the situation today, and he had a strong interest in drinking tonight.
