(3) Blood Raven (1)

The first time he killed an adventurer who entered the game was on the second day after Zuo Ci had just turned level 20, and he didn't know the name of the other party. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe origin of the matter may have to start from the moment he was born.

Ten days ago, Zuo Ci woke up as a thief from a stalactite cave on the bay side of the corner of the crow's mouth. When he first arrived in the world, the system gave him the image of a dark and toned body, a delicate and serious East Asian face, a pair of blue and green eyes, short red hair with a slender braid, and a shabby linen dress. He looked around, and saw that his eyes were full of white stalactites naturally formed into a series of white skulls, and the wonderful smell of death lingered in the space, and at the beginning expressed the unkindness of this world in a slightly artistic way.

After listening to the brief introduction of the game instructor Terissa, when I walked out of the stalactite cave, I saw a blood-red sea in front of me, echoing the bright red sky at sunset, the waves were shining and jumping, and the beauty was wild and desperate, wanting to swallow the whole world into blood-colored light and shadow.

When walking along the seaside beach to the novice village "Raven Blood Village", Zuo Ci saw the adventurer for the first time, he was wearing a black suit that looked like a ninja costume, half of his face was covered by a black cloth, and he was wearing a hat on his head, sitting on the beach and fishing quietly.

Every day after that, Zuo Ci would see him very regularly.

This man, every morning, squatted on one leg on one of the cross stakes near the road on the left side of the mass grave at the entrance to the north of the village, and in the evening he fished on the shores of the Red Sea, day after day, almost without exception.

However, Zuo Ci did not have the slightest interest in communicating with him because of this. For this world, in the early stage of growth, his heart has no interest in anything other than the desire to become stronger.

Of course, no matter which world you are in, if you want to become stronger, you must understand the rules of survival, the laws of the world, so the necessary information naturally needs to be collected.

The area where he was born is called Raven Blood, a small coastal village in the northwest corner of mainland Manchester. Although the village is located on the shores of the blood-colored Red Sea, the people of the village rarely rely on fishing for their livelihood. The village is full of dilapidated houses, and smells of poverty, but hides the fact that the village is rich and poor, according to the scrawny innkeeper who is emaciated and has a crumbling build: "This place is full of thieves, thieves, swindlers, smugglers, and killers, and the more depraved the richer, the richer they are, and they want to be left alone?" Then you have to be careful in what you do in the village...... It is recommended that you run out as soon as you have the ability, and escape from this ghost place as soon as possible! ”

Later, Zuo Ci learned through the different system characters in the village that in addition to the system characters who operated in the dilapidated houses made of bark and rubble that he saw during the day, there was another special group of characters in the village who belonged to the same organization. They are elusive, difficult to find, silently collect the dirtiest tasks in the world, and assign these shady deeds to the most murderous characters, smuggling and selling drugs, killing people and plundering goods, doing it when they have money, crow-like all-over black clothes are their dress characteristics, and they will also wear different masks according to their status, from beasts to Shura. Their leader, Knight, was the only one who wore an all-black mask over his face, with no pattern - it was said that this represented his myriad of disguises, and no one had ever seen him for what he really was, or if he existed, or perhaps no one had ever been alive since seeing his true face.

In addition, perhaps because each crow's hand in the organization is stained with countless blood, it is collectively called the blood crow by the world.

"Those blood crows are all demons who kill people without blinking, once they are targeted, they don't need any reason, they can kill you!" Whenever the word Blood Raven was mentioned, the innkeeper would comment on it a thousand times.

This makes Zuo Ci, who is faced with such a setting environment, naturally act very carefully. With his talent for playing, he quickly mastered the essentials of combat, the logic of skill and equipment improvement, and the rhythm of the fastest upgrade.

As for combat skills, as a thief, he learned a variety of physical skills at level 1, including straight stabs, retreats, and sweeps; Learn skills with additional effects from level 5, including level 1 gouge with stun and level 1 backstab with evasion; Level 10 learned level 2 chisel and level 1 lockpicking; Level 15 learned level 2 backstabbing and level 1 stealing, level 20 learned level 1 strangulation and practical escape and sneak attack techniques The foundation of level 1 stealth - with Zuo Ci's game talent, it only took 10 games to reach level 20, and with the unique professional talent of thieves, he has not worried about money for the time being, and at level 20, he has already worn a dark brown light leather suit, stepping on soft leather boots made of seal skin, surrounded by a cloak made of white brocade, and two daggers made of fine white steel are pinned to his waist, Both hands carry agility rings made of jade coral.

Although he hadn't honed his fishing skills properly, Zuo Ci still managed to upgrade the two survival skills of first aid and cooking to the current highest level, level 20. In addition, he also learned two professional skills, alchemy and enchantment, both of which are directly related to the growth of combat ability, and although difficult to practice, they are very practical.

The early growth rate is largely dependent on the execution of the task, and selecting the task that best matches the level and ability, and designing the best execution route, is the key to saving time. In the early days, most of the tasks and areas for farming and leveling were concentrated in the seaside and shrubs outside the village entrance in the north, which made Zuo Ci travel to the north of the village every morning after breakfast in the first few days of the game, and the man in black standing on the stake at the entrance of the village became a road sign that he would pass by every day. As for why Zuo Ci's fishing skills have not improved for a long time, it is also because he trotted to the beach with a fishing rod on his back several times at dusk, and saw this haunting black-clothed character at a glance, so he couldn't let go of his hands and feet to improve his proficiency.

In short, after hearing the description of the Blood Raven, Zuo Ci always regarded this black-clad character he met at least once a day as a member of the Blood Raven Organization, and took the method of hiding and hiding until the second day when he reached level 20. At dusk, under the blood-red sky, Zuo Ci ran from the north entrance of the village to the hotel in the sunset, passing by the mass grave, but the man in black standing on the wooden stake was still standing on the wooden stake where he was staying, and called him out abnormally-

"Hey! The red-haired one, stop, let's talk! ”

didn't want to get into trouble, Zuo Ci directly pretended not to hear it, and quickened his pace and ran towards the hotel.

He had planned to leave the village after tonight and head west along the coast, where it was said that there was a mysterious harbor where ships leading to the Rainbow Valley on the Keene continent would be dispatched, and it seemed that the only way to the Rainbow Valley was currently the only way to reach the Rainbow Valley.

Rainbow Valley is the clue that the five members of the team heard together before entering this world, from Clear Sky's memory reading of her sister Luna, which makes Zuo Ci have a hunch - Clear Sky, Void Foam, Nolan and Witt will all meet in that place sooner or later.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"

Zuo Ci's act of ignoring did not succeed in getting rid of the entanglement of the man in black, and just when he was about to step into the entrance of the village with a dozen or so steps, someone blocked his way.

Unconsciously, the dagger on his waist was already clenched in his hand, Zuo Ci stared expressionlessly at the gray and shallow eyes on the other party's face, and his whole body seemed to be the same, but in fact, he had completely entered a state of preparing for battle.

"Hey, are you not only deaf, but also mute? so that you cannot hear, and you do not answer. ”

Zuo Ci was still staring at him motionless, his lips closed. This head-on look finally solved the problem of the abnormal logic of the man in black on the stake of the mass grave, because the man in black in front of him was not the one he saw every morning, but just happened to be dressed similarly.

The newcomer in black was a little annoyed, frowned and put his hand into the placket, privately trying to take out something, taking advantage of this second his eyes away, Zuo Ci instantly launched the stealth skill, making the pace silent, making the breath traceless, dodging the direction of the other party's eyes that were captured, and jumping behind him at a very fast speed, ready to escape.

Unfortunately, he only advanced a few steps before being stopped by the man.

The opponent was already completely frowned, and said to him a little impatiently: "You person, can you listen to others before running?" I'm just trying to recruit you into our guild! As he spoke, he showed Zuo Ci a green jade plaque engraved with a wolf's head in his hand.

[Guilds?] A trace of doubt flashed in Zuo Ci's heart, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask the reason, a row of Tie Ling flew straight towards the black-clothed man in front of him, and he couldn't dodge it yet, although he rolled to the side, his arm and ankle were unfortunately hit, and the man let out a cry of pain.

Zuo Ci was also shocked by this sudden situation and took a few steps back, he turned his head to see that the man in black who stood on the cross stake on the side of the road every morning appeared a little unexpectedly, he stared at the other one with some contempt, and said: "I have been staring at this newcomer for a long time, and I can't allow anyone to rob me." ”

"Bastard! You shameless lion guild rubbish! It will only rob people and kill people everywhere, bully and suppress people from other guilds, and compete for resources unreasonably! Pulling out the iron rings from his hands and feet and throwing them on the ground, the wounded man in black removed the hat from his head and ripped off one side of his hair, revealing the pattern of the green wolf tattooed on his temple.

The man in black standing on the stake smiled arrogantly, removed his hat, revealed a tattoo of a red lion on his forehead, and clenched the Japanese sword at his side with both hands. The tense atmosphere spread between the two in an instant, although Zuo Ci had nine points of understanding the situation, he did not have the slightest idea of wanting to participate, and was bent on finding a gap between the two of them to turn their minds, and once again launched a sneak to leave this place of right and wrong.
