After a short journey, the ostrich mount carried Zuo Ci and the black-clothed swordsman to the coastal section. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, the sky began to brighten, and the sun that climbed out of the coastline sprinkled golden scales on the blood-red sea, gradually spreading, wave by wave, showing the beauty of light and the vitality of the morning light.

This scene made the black-clothed swordsman sitting behind Zuo Ci unconsciously admire: "What a beautiful morning light, I haven't seen such a beautiful morning light for a long time." ”

Zuo Ci ignored him, his eyes looked intently at the road ahead, and let him ramble a few times until the black-clothed swordsman said this: "You are planning to go to Crow Blood Harbor, right?" Want to take a boat from Raven Harbor to Keane's Rainbow Valley, right? - Hehehe...... With your current abilities, this is impossible. ”

This remark was related to Zuo Ci's plan, poked at his pain point, and made him ask: "Why?" ”

"Hehehe...... Because you're really weak now. The swordsman smiled weirdly, and said bluntly without hesitation, "It's just a level 20 rookie, not only does he not have any combat power, but he also has no money." Do you know how much the boat ride to Keane costs? ”

"How much?"

"100 gold."

Zuo Ci finally shook the ostrich's left bell lightly and slowed down his march. He turned his face to the side, looked at the black-clothed swordsman, and asked in confirmation, "Really?" ”

"Hehehe...... Of course, what am I lying to you? I'm a frequent passenger on the Crow's Blood Harbor ferry, and I really miss the scenery of the Rainbow Valley, the sky is blue and the grass is green, and you can see the beautiful rainbow scenery everywhere. It's just that any boar monster over there needs a well-equipped level 40 character to barely deal with it, and if you meet a giant or a dragon, like your current virtue, you basically won't even see the chance to escape and be turned into slag in seconds - of course, first you have to have a 100 gold boat fee to have a chance to see the scenery I mentioned...... Rookie thief, can you have a gold in your body? ”

Zuo Ci fell silent and turned his head forward, as if he was thinking about his next step.

The black-clothed swordsman behind him leaned his head to his neck and asked him in a strange voice, "Do you want to become stronger, do you want to become very rich?" …… I can help you. ”

Zuo Ci didn't answer immediately, but the black-clothed swordsman put his head on his other shoulder and continued to tempt: "It's a waste of time for you to rush like this...... Isn't it a waste of time to have no money and be weak, and still insist on rushing to a destination that does not match your ability? ”

Zuo Ci finally couldn't help but stop the ostrich, turned his head again, and asked, "If you have any suggestions, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush." ”

"It's not easy to survive on the continent of Manchester, and if you want to become stronger than ordinary people, you have to follow the right people and do the right things. You have been in this world for a certain period of time, I believe you also know that it is not easy to make money, 100 gold takes a lot of time to accumulate to achieve, but I happen to have an epic task in my hand to share with you, once completed, the reward of this task can not only earn an astronomical amount of 500 gold, plus a rare thief epic weapon - ghost claw chain knife, I believe it can immediately increase your combat power several times. Hehehe...... Doesn't that sound good? ”

There are huge bonuses to earn, and there are epic weapons to take, no matter what difficulty the task is, it is worth a try, Zuo Ci said without hesitation: "Okay, share the task with me." ”

The black-clothed swordsman jumped off the ostrich, took out a gold-sewn scroll of task kraft paper from his wide sleeve, and waited for Zuo Ci to jump off his mount and handed it to him.

"This mission is so valuable, why don't you just go there and waste time here with me?" Zuo Ci expressed his doubts, took the task paper roll, and spread it out.

"Hehehe...... Because, I'm looking for a talented thief to work with, you don't know how difficult it is to find a thief in this world, and now the guilds are almost fighting to snatch the thief character's friends......"

The black-clothed swordsman was still muttering, Zuo Ci had already opened the task paper scroll, only to see a simple line of words written on it: Get the "Molten Fire Collection". Other than that, there is no explanation at all.

"Molten Flames? What is this. Zuo Ci flipped through the front and back of the paper scroll and looked at it again, making sure that he had not missed any details, or whether he had reversed the task description. This mission description is the most concise and unincomprehensible he's seen since he entered the game.

"Obviously, it's a book." The swordsman's grim smile deepened a little, "I've already checked where this book is hidden, you just have to go and steal it - this book is hidden in the largest castle in the continent of Manchester, Fort Furnace." In the inner city there is a library guarded by the Scholars' Society, and the "Molten Fire Collection" is among them. ”

"Bachelor's Club?" Zuo Ci, who is not very familiar with this world, heard this term for the first time.

"This is an ad hoc organization set up by the former Prime Minister Albert, most of whom are strategists and generals recruited by him personally, and are in charge of a wide range of matters, including the Department of Knowledge, the Department of Weapons and Warfare, and the Library with the "Molten Fire Collection" is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Knowledge. Among them, there are not only all kinds of treasures, but also state secret documents and documents, etc., which are heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to force them in, so you can only choose a more ingenious way......

Hearing this, Zuo Ci finally understood why the reward for this task was so tempting. This is to go to the core of the entire continent royal capital, stealing between layers of heavy guards......

Seeing that he didn't respond with a serious face, the black-clothed swordsman immediately added: "However, the difficulty is high, it is only for other professions, and for the thief profession, maybe the difficulty is not as terrifying as imagined......"

"Oh? How is a thief different? ”

"Talent, talent, the thief's professional talent is born for stealing, professional skills come with lockpicking, stealth and stealing, but you need to hone your proficiency, improve your level one by one, once you master the skill, you can sneak into any area unnoticed. I see that your expression is vigorous, this body is strong, and I know that the potential is equal, so I am willing to share this task with you, I believe you have a good chance of achieving it. ”

"It will take time to improve the proficiency of lockpicking, stealth, and stealing, I only have level 20, and it will take some years to improve these proficiency to the point where I can break into the royal city." Zuo Ci rolled up the paper roll and inserted it into his backpack. The reward for the mission was so lucrative that he had decided to take over, just for the time it would take to complete it...... He just couldn't grasp.

"Hehehe...... You don't need to be so pessimistic, you rush to Manchester King Fortress all the way, and you will naturally hone and grow on the way, and when you reach the royal city, it may be enough to pass level 40. Besides, I wouldn't have suggested that you be hard, you have to use your brain, think more, and learn to outwit ......," said the black-clothed swordsman, who took out a palm-sized conch from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Any suggestions?" Zuo Ci took the thing suspiciously and looked at it carefully.

"Join the Lion Guild - now that Marcus, the leader of the Lion Guild, has become a general of Albert, he is in charge of people's livelihood in the Knowledge Department of the Society, and if you get close to him, you may be able to find a shortcut to the Library. As for the conch I gave you, it is our exclusive communication tool. As he spoke, the swordsman took out another similar conch from his arms, put it to his mouth and whined softly a few times, Zuo Ci immediately felt that the one in his hand was trembling slightly.

Then the swordsman said, "Put the conch to your ear and try it." ”

Zuo Ci picked up the conch and brought it to his ear, while the black-clothed swordsman in front of him brought the one in his hand to his mouth again and muttered softly-

Zuo Ci clearly heard his voice pronounce it like this: "You can hear my words clearly, right?" In the future, if you are in danger, you will ask me for help from the conch. The magic of the conch completely attracted Zuo Ci's attention, he couldn't help but take it down and look at it, and felt it continue to tremble slightly, before putting it back in his ears again, and heard the following message from the swordsman, "When the task is completed, I will also tell me the result through this method, I will definitely appear, and take you with me to hand over this task and receive the reward." Hehehe...... Looking forward to all the joys......"

"To whom is this task going on?" The words of the black-clothed swordsman reminded Zuo Ci at the right time, and he didn't understand the cause and effect of this task at all, "Who are you?" —but by the time he turned his attention back to the front, his sight was empty......

The breath was filled with the dampness of the Red Sea, as if some of it had just been washed into the waves, and there was no trace.

The black-clad swordsman who appeared out of nowhere, has disappeared to nowhere.

Looking at the conch in his hand, the only evidence that proved everything that had just happened, Zuo Ci realized that the mysterious person who disappeared didn't even have a name......
