As soon as the girl turned around, she met Sandy's serious face frowning and angry, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the room tonight and not come out?" --Only the hotel rooms are relatively secure, and no one can break in without the invitation of the occupants, which is the system setting. ”

"I just want to see who just arrived...... "Clearsky also lowered his voice and whispered, "I'm just going to stand at the corner of the steps on the second floor and listen for a while, I promise to run back to my room if I notice anything wrong, okay?" ”

Sandy sighed helplessly and dropped a sentence: "Follow me." He took the lead and walked to the corner of the stairs and crouched down......

At this time, a group of more than a dozen black-robed characters walked into the dining area of the Crossroads Hotel without causing any commotion, it seems that their hatred in the Keene area has not reached the point where they will be hunted down by NPCs, and the conversation between them immediately reveals that they are not the gang that slaughtered here during the day-

"It's so quiet!" A crisp boy's voice sounded from the downstairs, perhaps his position was closest to the stairs, and the pitch was high, and the content of the words clearly reached the ears of the two people who were eavesdropping upstairs word by word, "There is no one at the Crossroads Post Inn at night, with the lightning and thunder outside, is it a full horror filming location?" How about Nick and Diana playing the game of 'ghost hunting'? ”

"Gary, don't make a fuss, I just asked the innkeeper that there was a massacre here at dusk, and in my opinion, this brutal style is either the work of Cecilia or the work of Sorens." A relatively calm male voice immediately sounded, "If these powerful characters have already come here, it means that we are on the right route, then we must concentrate on finding the goal before them and achieving the goal before everyone, otherwise, isn't this trip to Keane going to run in vain?" -- Let's sit down and plan our next route. ”

"Nick, you're such an unentertaining nerd!" The boy who was called Gary shouted, and then the voices indicated that the men were seated, began to order their meals, and continued to gossip—

"Seriously, this time in order to hunt down a Leoria, in order to snatch the letters from him, King Ambrose gave an order - I see that the entire Fort Furnace, and even the most powerful characters in Manchester, have come to Keane to sweep away, this battle is really unprecedented. It seems that the rumors earlier are indeed a little true, and Manchester and Keane are about to fight...... Right? A somewhat rigid female voice sounded, she should be Diana who Gary had just greeted.

"Perhaps, I'm not interested in those ghost politics at all!" Gary's words were full of impatience, "If it weren't for the huge prizes, who would have traveled for 7 days to come to this hellish place?!" Oops-the prize is the deputy weapon of the Guardian Prophet Mura, the only deputy in the entire Brave Continent, the Phoenix Fire Gong, which is said to be an artifact that can summon a phoenix bathing in fire! ――Whoever can get this is probably not far from becoming a man at the top of this world, maybe ...... It doesn't have to be a god! The more Gary spoke, the more agitated he became, and his voice unconsciously rose several degrees.

"Everybody thinks so now, so how can this be such an easy task? …… Of course, an artifact like the Phoenix Fire Gong, which is the only one in the world, should be fought for with all its might, but if someone is the first to get it, it can only be recognized. It's not easy for us to get to Keane, so after this mission is over, let's set off to slay the dragon. Nick said.

"I'm here, I'm going to have to do a lot of work to go back, not only will I have to slay the dragon, but I'll also go to every main city in Keane to shake it." If you really start a war in the future, you must be familiar with the terrain, and only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win all battles! Gary's mouth was stuffed with something, but he still couldn't lower his childish tone.

"Let's not go any further, focus on the task at hand - Nick, do you really believe that Leoria is around here?" Diana brings the conversation back to the point.

"From what I've heard on the road in the last few days, Leolia appears to have last seen at Raven's Blood Harbor in the southwest corner of Manchester, and that dilapidated harbor ship has only one route to Keane, the mysterious route to the coast of the Eastern Regions to the bottom of Rainbow Valley. Although I heard not long ago that the Dragon Slaying City in the Green Dragon Mountain Range mysteriously disappeared and cut off the road to and from the bottom of the Rainbow Valley, everything has happened recently, and I always feel that there must be something involved...... Anyway, didn't we go to the birthplace of the Death Knight before we set out, and locate Leoria through the illusion of the Nether Lord? - 'Seven days later, Crossroads Post House' is an oracle given by the system, and there will be no mistake. Nick slowly said his reasoning, and then he paused for a few seconds and made another guess, "This mission is so big, if I don't guess wrong, these should already belong to the main line of the world plot......"

"World plot?" Hearing the message downstairs, Clear Sky couldn't help but mutter. She still remembers that before entering this world, Nolan relayed the information that Ba Hole had said, and the most memorable thing for her was the speculation of escaping from this world - clearing the world plot, and everyone trapped in the game would be released together.

[So Leolia is a key in the world plot, and it should also be a system character?] ]

Clear Sky guessed, but couldn't help but ask Sandy who was squatting beside him, "Sandy, do you know what Leoria is?" ”

"Sounds like a character with important letters on him, currently wanted by the Manchesters." Sandy concluded.

At this moment, there was another sound of the wooden door pushing and pulling downstairs, and it sounded like a lot of new guests had entered. The noise fell into a brief silence, and Sandy and Clear Sky could imagine that many of the Manchester people were cautiously watching the comers, and then a neutral male voice suddenly rang out—

"I've heard that a lot of thugs from Manchester have come here to kill innocents, do you mean you guys who don't know what to do?!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a grinding of weapons and armor, and the sound of guns being loaded began, and the tense atmosphere almost instantly filled the entire hotel.

"You Keon guys are really ugly to talk about, who are the thugs?!" Someone needs to break the silence. Gary couldn't help but shout back.

"Of course, I mean you uncultivated Manchesters, a bunch of garbage players from the Brave Continent! The massacre at Crossroads Station has been spread by NPCs at many whistles, and waves of Keane players are rallying in solidarity, so I'd like to see what else you can do?! The neutral male voice had no intention of backing down, and the smell of gunpowder in his tone became more and more intense.

"Hey, hey, the fire on this rainy day is still not so big, now we are standing in the post inn, if we want to fight or kill, we will naturally accompany us, as long as you give priority to it, there is nothing we dare not do." Before Gary could impulse, Nick's slightly steady voice rang out. His reminder of the status quo is very effective, and the side that makes the first move in the safe area class will be intervened by NPCs, and it will inexplicably increase the regional hatred value, which is a thankless loss no matter how you look at it.

As soon as these words came out, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and everyone scolded and scolded, but none of them took the initiative to fight.

At this time, the thunderstorm has fallen for half the night, but there is no sign of gradual stopping, but the sound of raindrops beating is becoming more and more deafening, and the frequency of thunder is also getting stronger and stronger, mixed with the quarrel between the two sides downstairs You and I are very disturbing, but it does not cover the sound of people arriving outside the door.

With a burst of lightning and thunder, the door of the inn was slammed open, and the momentum of the new newcomer was so strong that the characters who were arguing fell silent, and then with a few "clicks", without an opening sentence, there was a sudden "whoosh" of screams, collisions, and spells downstairs.

Sandy and Clear Sky unconsciously glanced at each other at once. Sandy frowned, took Clear Sky's arm, dragged her to the door of the room, and ordered, "Go back to the room quickly, don't come out without my prompting." ”

"What about you?" Qingkong couldn't help but shake his wrist back, "The situation down there is dangerous, why don't you avoid it?" ”

"Don't forget that I still have a wanted mission for Sorens, so I'm going to go down and find out what happened." Sandy let go of Clear Sky's arm and comforted, "I'm already a level 76 character, more powerful than you think, don't worry." ”

With that, Sandy drew his sword, prepared himself for battle, and turned towards the staircase.

Clear Sky opened the door of the room with full trepidation, but stood at the door struggling to hide like a turtle. Of course, she knew that she was of low rank, and it was of little use now, and going downstairs was equivalent to sending her to death...... However, such a thing as leaving behind her companions is really not in line with her style of being a person and doing things.

Standing in the doorway and struggling for ten seconds, she finally decided to at least go to the top of the stairs to see what was going on before deciding whether to intervene. Closing the door of her room, she turned and was about to walk towards the staircase, when a male voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hey, girl, wait, can you do me a favor?"

Clear Sky turned his head in response, and saw a white-haired and orange-eyed warrior standing in the depths of the corridor, red and black lined with original steel-colored armor, the golden lion head pattern on the shoulder armor was very eye-catching, the black feather cloak behind the neck was lined with snow-colored short hair that was dazzlingly shiny, and the giant sword behind him revealed a hilt in the shape of a lion's claw and a cold blade in the shape of a original steel.

As he spoke, he was already walking towards the clear sky, and introduced himself bluntly: "My name is Leoria. ”
