(3) Blood Raven (3)

The man in black raised his eyebrows helplessly, took out a jade plaque carved with a lion pattern with sideburns like fire from his arms, showed it in front of Zuo Ci for two seconds, and then began to elaborate with a suppressed anger: "Then, take this opportunity to listen to what I have to say—I represent Manchester's largest guild, the Lion Guild, and I have come to recruit." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although it is a guild founded in Manchester, we have our own forces on all continents of this world, and if you join us, I believe it will only be good for you......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Ci interrupted with a calm face: "I'm not considering joining any organization now. ”

"Why?" The man in black furrowed his brow deeply.

"I have my own plans and where I need to go." As a natural lone ranger personality, unless it is a like-minded person at first sight, Zuo Ci is really reluctant to walk with others.

"It doesn't matter where you go! As I said earlier, you have the opportunity to meet people from our guild in all corners of the world, and we can help each other - you know, we are a guild of more than 500 people! ”

"Since there are already more than 500 people, they don't care about my role."

"You don't understand, under the leadership of President Marcus, we are determined to unite all the potential members of all of Manchester and become the most powerful guild in the world. Trust me, there's nothing we can't achieve together, as long as you join our Lion Guild, you will definitely feel a different life! ”

[Marcus?] Zuo Ci only felt that the name was particularly familiar, and as soon as he fell into thought, he was interrupted by the man in black, and continued his unrelenting persuasion: "Recently, the world is not good, there are fewer and fewer newcomers, and I haven't seen active thieves in Crow Blood Village for a long time. A few days ago, I saw that you were busy running tasks and leveling, so I didn't bother, watching you grow up step by step, thinking that it was time to talk about guild recruitment. ”

[It was because I ran into the recruiter of the Green Wolf Guild, so I was disrupted by my plans, so I decided to talk to him today.] Zuo Ci guessed that if he didn't talk about it today, I am afraid that he would not have a chance, because he would have to leave this place early tomorrow morning.

Seeing the unrelenting appearance of this man in black, Zuo Ci decided not to waste his tongue, but to change a tactful way to get rid of his unrelenting, so he said: "You give me a day to think about it, and I will answer you at this hour tomorrow night." ”

Since it was not a direct refusal, the man in black couldn't find a reason to force it, was silent for a second, and replied: "Okay, we'll see you tomorrow, my name is Qi, what's your name?" ”

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

Dropping this sentence, Zuo Ci didn't say more, turned around and walked towards the guest room area on the second floor.

Go upstairs and enter the room, fall asleep, and after four hours, when Zuo Ci woke up, the sky was still in the thick of the night. Too lazy to waste time on breakfast, he bought two loaves of bread from the innkeeper and set out on his journey in the darkness of the night.

Due to the black-clad man's habit of squatting, Zuo Ci deliberately chose to take the exit from the west side of the village, although this route required a bypass of a monster roaming bush to return to the coastal route to the port, but it could pass through a birdhouse where ostriches were raised. The Ostrich is a very popular mobility mount in Manchester, and is a must to speed up his journey. So, yes, going west is the best route option.

Out of the west entrance of the village, Zuo Ci did not intend to obediently follow the main road, but chose to pass through the wild area and take a straight shortcut, because this choice was easy for him. Although the level is not high, Zuo Ci's use of skills, matching and conversion can be said to be talented, with the natural skill advantage of thieves, he constantly launches sneaking to approach the target prey, and then a chisel followed by the next strangulation, decisively solve the battle. With his natural super observation ability and skillful skill release, Zuo Ci walked through the bushes all the way unharmed.

The smooth walking should have made him feel relaxed, but Zuo Ci has always had a strange feeling, as if there is always a line of sight behind him, but he turned his head to look left and right, but found nothing. Until he was about to pass through the wild area, the sight behind him became more and more intense, as if it was on the side of him, he turned his head intuitively, as if he saw a black shadow flickering, and when he looked left and right again, there was no definite danger.

It is useless to think deeply, feeling dangerous, choosing to leave the place of right and wrong is the best policy, Zuo Ci immediately mobilized his leg strength and ran out of the bush area at full speed.

When he came to the bird house, Zuo Ci, who had 500 silver on his body, spent 50 silver to learn elementary riding, and spent 100 silver to buy an adult ostrich with all black wings, and ran towards the coast in the north direction according to his plan.

At this time, nearly an hour had passed since Zuo Ci woke up, and there were fewer and fewer stars in the sky, and he knew that the sky was about to light up. The main road that stretched north came into view, and through it, a mile further through the coast, until this moment, everything was still going well, until—

In the distance, there seemed to be seven or eight groups of figures appearing on the main road leading to the north of the village, their mounts were all kinds of and gorgeous, although they were far from the ground, but it was enough to see that their level was not low.

A detour was Zuo Ci's first thought, he didn't care about the identities of these passers-by at all, he just wanted to follow the original plan, but things were not as simple as he thought - a slight turn, two familiar figures were already silently close at hand......

"Little thing, I'm meeting you again." Shura stood behind the oni and said in a voice that was neither male nor female.

And the civet stood in front of him once—this time in front of his ostrich, with its head tilted up, staring at him comically, and gurgling in its throat.

As soon as Zuo Ci noticed the staring of the demon civet, he remembered the previous experience of not being able to move, and wanted to open his eyes and try not to be bewitched by his red pupils, but it was too late, and in an instant, he once again felt that he could not move as if he was entangled in the power grid.

"If you don't want to die, stay here, they're our mission items." The fox muttered childishly at him, and then followed Shura's footsteps towards the crowd of people walking on the road.

What happened next, in fact, Zuo Ci didn't see it.

Because his immobilized body, including his head, prevented his gaze from being effectively shifted, he had to helplessly watch the sky gradually light up. With the arrival of a little bit of sunlight, his body finally returned to a state of mobility.

After the body thawed, Zuo Ci reflexively turned his head and turned his gaze to the group of people who had been walking earlier, but they disappeared like evaporation from the world.

Zuo Ci frowned unconsciously, and muttered to himself: "What about people? ”

"They're all dead." ——Such a sentence suddenly appeared in the emptiness, and anyone would be startled, but fortunately, Zuo Ci's personality was naturally calm, but he turned his head very quickly and looked at the place where the voice came from, and immediately, a swordsman with a frightening white face appeared in his sight.

The swordsman looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen, thin as a piece of paper, dressed in an all-black kimono, and had a long Japanese sword pinned to his waist. His face was extremely pale, with his godless black eyes and his long black hair and shawl, and he looked like a dead man crawling out of the graveyard.

Zuo Ci took two steps back vigilantly, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm just a passerby, just like you." The black-clothed swordsman struggled to squeeze out a forced smile, "You didn't see the massacre just now, did you?" It's cruel. ”

"Do you know the people who were killed?"

"Don't you know, they're all members of the Lion Guild, right? …… I'm a loner, and I'm used to going my own way, without any restraint or control. This is the same as you. After speaking, the swordsman showed a strange smile, which was inexplicably terrifying, and Zuo Ci's arm unconsciously had goosebumps.

Sensing the danger of this person, Zuo Ci wanted to end the topic and go their separate ways. Who knows, this swordsman who came out of nowhere, but jumped on his ostrich on his own care, sat behind him, and brazenly demanded: "Everyone is destined to know each other, why don't you give me a ride?" ”

Zuo Ci frowned: "I'm in a hurry, not necessarily by the way." ”

"That's just right, because I haven't figured out where I'm going, and I'll go wherever you go." As he spoke, the swordsman smiled again.

If he hadn't jumped on the mount, Zuo Ci would have left this person behind, and he could run as fast as he could, but now the fact is that the strange and brazen swordsman has jumped on his ride, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable to chase people now. Moreover, Zuo Ci inexplicably felt the power of his ability, which was a kind of power that made the level 20 little thief feel boundless.

In the past few days, he has been entangled by strange people every day, and it is really enough for Zuo Ci, who naturally hates troublesome people, he turned his head to look forward with some resignation, touched the right bell on the ostrich's neck, and ran towards the coastline.
