First Leaf City, the player's birthplace and only base so far. Unlike most MMORPGs, this is the birthplace and an all-encompassing metropolis that is as functional as the main city.

The city as a whole forms a huge circle, with towering walls forming the outer edge. The vast space enclosed by it is filled by four architectural styles one after another.

The city is divided into five areas of equal size, of which except for the central area, which is circular, the other four areas are all fan-shaped. Each section doesn't have a specific name, so players simply call it by the location they are located in.

The northern district is dominated by Gothic architecture, and the representative building is the guild hall located at the end of the main road "Northern Avenue", near the north gate of the city. After reaching level 10, players can register and establish an adventurer's guild here, accept a variety of different levels of tasks issued by the guild to get rewards, and guilds that do not complete even one task within a week will be forcibly disbanded.

The western district is dominated by Romanesque architecture, and the representative buildings are the starting point of the main thoroughfare, the "Western Boulevard", near the entrance of the central area, which occupies a large underground library and the upper palace of the palace. It is a library with a rich collection of books, including astronomy and geography, the past and the present, production and life, and most importantly, many learning books that record skills, such as martial arts, magic and even magic skills. However, the level that a player can access is completely limited by their level.

The southern part of the area is dominated by Byzantine buildings, and the representative building is the "garrison fortress" in the center, which alone occupies more than half of the land in this area. The fort is a military base and military dormitory on the ground, and a dungeon for criminals underground. However, until now, the place has been deserted, and the gates are closed, and it is unclear what the actual effect is.

The Oriental District is dominated by Chinese-style buildings, and the representative building is located in the north of the center, which is a palace-style high-rise building "Linglangxuan", which is a department store. Everything that players can think of is here, and there are items that players can't think of here, and it also has the function of renting out shops.

The central area is a collection of four styles of architecture, and it is the place where it all began, the Obelisk Square, that is significant.

That's an overview of the entire city of First Leaves, and it's surrounded by a lush forest, the First Leaf Forest. No matter how much you dig into the forest, you never reach the end of the forest, and it's like it's endless.

Therefore, for players, the first leaf forest is the end of this world. But that's the end of it!

What happened a week ago after the defeat of the rank boss Black Ice Knight was an event that players called the "Great Change". Brilliant light erupted from all parts of the earth to the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth, and no one could really see what was going on in the light.

Soon after the light faded, players were shocked to find that the world had changed. The beginning-leaf forest, which had no end, finally had an end, and there was also a road where no monsters could safely lead to the outside world.

According to the newly opened map of the underground library, the shape of the land that is now visible appears to be an oval with only the lower half, and then a corner protrudes to the southwest.

Below the land lies the sea, and above are other areas of the land that are yet to be known.

The area where the First Leaf City is located is the corner of the continent, and there are six new areas on the continent.

Along with the shackles of the world, the player's level lock was lifted, and the players who participated in the Black Ice Knight Raiders all rose to level 10 after the success of the raider. As a result, the first guilds in this game were born within a week.

Compared to other games of the same type, the steps to create a guild here are a bit cumbersome, but they are reasonably cumbersome.

Creating a guild is not just a matter of deciding on the guild name and guild logo and registering at the guild hall. After the check-in process, players who want to create a guild will be given a quest, which is probably the first mass quest of the game. The specific content varies from person to person, but it is all for the purpose of whether the graduate school team meets the definition of "team".

The first to complete the quest and successfully create a guild was indeed Duke Edlaide's team, which had the largest number of people in the Raiders Alliance. The guild is called "Camelot" and is symbolized by three overlapping swords.

The second is the team of Fu Qingshu, who is known as a small number of elites. The guild is called "Pandora" and is marked by a flame pierced by arrows.

The third is Edman Shuzer's team, I heard that they had a friction with Fu Qingshu's team during the mission, and the latter was overshadowed, so it became third. Afterwards, Edman was furious and simply named the guild "Rex" with Fu Qingshu's usual contemptuous name for him, with a Western fire-breathing dragon as a symbol, which meant to be lying down and trying to be brave.

The last one was Richard Alphons, who formed the guild "Oberiske", whose emblem was the Black Obelisk as its name. Lee Mong-hee and Naine Hinata also participated in the mission together, but in the end they did not join. Therefore, this is the guild with the smallest number of people, but with the two auras of "Hero of the Obelisk" and "Hero of the Expanding World", the huge potential of it can be seen by anyone.

First the boss strategy, then the big change, and finally the guild mission, players who participated in the strategy can really take a breath and rest after more than a week today. For some, however, the heaviness of the soul will have to be carried for a little longer.

......

On the second day after returning from the mission, this morning, Richard, Li Mengxi, and Nayin Hinata came to the last room on the second floor of a hotel in the southern district.

Richard stopped here and turned to face Li Mengxi and Nain Hinata, who also stopped.

Then, he said helplessly: "You really decided to do this? ”

"Thank you, but we've decided. Li Mengxi replied firmly, "Even if everyone thinks that the two of us are not wrong, there are only two people who don't think so." ”

"Who the hell is that mean fellow?" asked Richard, rather indignantly.

So, Naine Hinata stepped forward and said with the same firmness: "It's us!"

"Alas. Richard let out a long sigh of helplessness, muttered "You really are," and turned back to the door. He raised his right hand and tapped it with moderate force.

"Knock! knock!"

"It's coming!" Immediately a voice was heard in the room, and the door panel opened inwards to reveal the tenant of the room, Fujido Chief.

He was also quite surprised to see the three people outside the door.

"Mr. Williams, and ......"

Fujido Master joined the strategy team at the end and didn't train with everyone, and he didn't participate in any team's guild missions afterwards. So although he knew Richard, who was kind to him, he didn't know Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain.

Seeing this, Richard immediately turned sideways and exposed the two people behind him as much as possible.

"Let me introduce you, these are two of my friends. This is Li Mengxi, who saved us all by single-handedly fighting the boss that day, mybrother!"

Speaking of the shocking scene that Li Mengxi used the special skill of burning HP that day to directly cut down the remaining HP of the boss with a continuous combo of nearly forty hits, and finally broke it with a hand-to-hand combat skill that had never been seen before in the state of losing his weapon, I am afraid that it will be firmly engraved in the minds of anyone on the strategy team and become a relishing memory that will never be forgotten in the life.

Fujido was no exception, and he immediately smiled excitedly.

"I know! I know...... No, I just learned the name...... However, I will not forget the events of that day......! What a name. I didn't expect the hero to visit me! Thank you so much for saving me...... No, it's everyone's life!"

I don't know, what will he show when he learns the truth in a while?

Li Mengxi thought like this, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

"I don't deserve your thanks at all. ”

"How so. We'd all die there without you!, and I have to thank you for avenging my partner!"

Fujitang was only a little embarrassed by Li Mengxi. And his words made Li Mengxi feel even more heavy and speechless.

Seeing that Li Mengxi no longer spoke, Mr. Fujido naturally moved his gaze to Hinata Nayin on the side.

"Who is this?"

"Oh!" Richard said with a wry smile as he pointed his eyes at Li Mengxi, "This is Miss Hinata Nain, his girlfriend." ”

"Yes!" Fujido said in surprise, looking at Li Mengxi and Hinata again, "The two are really a match." ”

And here, Hinata Nain's cheeks are so red that she can't be more red, and she can't speak well.

"Open, open, open, open...... Please don't joke at this time!"

Seeing Naine Hinata scolding himself with a red face, Richard laughed out loud a few times without remorse.

"Hahaha, I'm just joking now! Otherwise, I might not be able to laugh for a while. ”

"Are you kidding, Mr. Williams? Mr. Fujido was also teaching him a not so harsh attitude.

"Just call me Richard! Anyway, won't you let us in?"

"yes! I was rude!"

As he spoke, Mr. Fujido hurriedly let go of the space that was convenient for a few people to enter the house.

Although Richard was standing first, he took a few steps back at this time, letting Li Mengxi and Hinata go in first. He closed the door at the end, and then stood in the doorway.

"I have black tea and green tea here, which one do you prefer?" said Fujido, who walked to the bedside table.

"We're not here for tea. ”

Li Mengxi's voice stopped Mr. Fujido from behind, and he turned around with a puzzled look on his face and looked at Richard, who was obviously the leader.

"Is there anything important?"

"I'm not in a hurry, let them talk first. Richard said in a somewhat melancholy tone.

Hearing this, Hinata Nain took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Li Mengxi, and then the two of them said sincerely to Fujido in unison, "I'm sorry." ”

Mr. Fujido was confused.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Because ......," Li Mengxi said in a deep voice before Hinata Nayin, "your companion can be said to have been killed by us." ”

Suddenly, Mr. Fujido's face became extremely shocked.

"What the hell is going on!"

Under his questioning, Li Mengxi confided little by little everything that started from the task of "returning the ancient books".

Hearing all this, Fujido did not become as angry as the two imagined, but instead showed a relieved smile at the end.

"That's right. He said indifferently, "Sure enough, you two haven't done anything that needs to apologize to me, have they." ”

This sentence made Li Mengxi and Hinata feel incredible.

"Don't you think it's our responsibility to do all this!" Hinata asked in an incredulous loud voice, "If we don't hide information, if we say everything from the beginning, if we ......"

"If I had stopped them at that time, they wouldn't have died. Mr. Fujido said with some sadness, "If, in terms of 'if', I am not more responsible than you. And even if you make everything public, who can guarantee that the 'what if' will be a good outcome?"

"This ......" Nayin Hinata was speechless, "but ......"

"You're unrelated!, however, for Inuyama's sake, they created a strategy team so that I could contribute to the defeat of the boss. I thank you so much. As he spoke, Mr. Fujido bowed solemnly.

This made Hinata feel genuinely scared.

"Don't do this, we're here to ......"

"If you apologize again, you're already insulting my companion!" "Forty percent of the players in this early leaf city are not enterprising all day long! Eighty percent of the remaining sixty percent are life groups that are afraid of fighting monsters and are mainly engaged in production activities. Only the last 20 percent can be called a real battle group!

"This is a game world of death rules, and everyone is afraid of death. Richard gave the answer in the back.

"Then why are we fighting!

Fujido's questioning made Li Mengxi and Hinata realize the fact that they had been ignoring for a long time.

Of course, the players in the combat group are also afraid of death, and they are also human. Obviously afraid of death, but still choose to fight monsters......

"Because we've already decided to die!" Li Mengxi and Hinata replied loudly together.

"That's it! My companion is not a coward who blames others for his own death!"

After saying that, Mr. Fujido smiled gently.

"So, I won't accept the apologies of the two. I will not forgive you, because you are the only ones who can forgive you. I've only recently learned this. ”

That's right, in fact, Hinata Naine has long been aware that she and Li Mengxi don't want to apologize at all, but just want to be forgiven. She couldn't help but fold her hands in front of her chest and ask herself if she could forgive herself.

"As you say. Li Mengxi, who was on the side, looked into the eyes of the general priest Fujido and said, "Thank you very much, and I'm embarrassed to ......."

"So, I'm not talking ......"

"I didn't think you could forgive us from the beginning! Apologizing is my last responsibility in this matter! And then, as you said, it's up to me whether I can let go or not, and even if I can't let go, I won't stop, let alone let others stop me. So, today, I'm actually here to hand this over to you!"

As he spoke, Li Mengxi took out his sword finger with his right hand and swiped it in front of him from top to bottom, opened the panel, and materialized a piece of equipment from the warehouse.

It was a one-handed sword, the slender blade emitting a dark purple glow, and the sword grid was a human-headed skeleton with buffalo-like horns.

Li Mengxi held the sword in both hands and held it up to the Fujido chief.

"Is this!" Fujido exclaimed.

"It's a drop from the boss, the Black Ice Knight's sword 'Skeleton Gu Purple Mandarin', which houses the souls of your companions. I hope you can use it to protect your future companions!"

Listening to Li Mengxi's words and staring at the sword, Fujido General Unconsciously stretched out his hand but did not fully take the sword.

"Is that really good? Your weapon isn't ......?"

"Don't worry. ”

Li Mengxi smiled slightly, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, his weapon was damaged when it was knocked away by the boss, but in fact, he just returned to the warehouse. You know, it's a veritable artifact.

"Well, thank you. ”

Mr. Fujido finally took the sword and put it into the warehouse after confirming the transfer of authority.

"Smack!" At this moment, Richard clapped his hands sharply to attract the attention of the other three, and the guy leaned against the door panel at some point.

"Okay!OK!That's the end of your two affair with him, it's my turn next!" Richard said arrogantly and eagerly, "Mr. Fujido, based on your performance in the strategy battle, I would like to invite you. Are you interested in joining the guild 'Oberiske' that I created?"

After that, Richard, with the help of Li Mengxi and Hinata Nayin, finally dispelled some of Fujido's concerns due to lack of confidence and successfully recruited him into the guild.

The time came to noon unconsciously, and originally Nayin Hinata proposed that everyone eat together. However, both Richard and Fujido declined.

Richard had some things to discuss with Romania and the others because of the guild. And Mr. Fujido actually received the girl's invitation a long time ago, as if the other party asked him out because of his performance in front of the East Castle Gate that day. It is said that men have gold under their knees, so how to use this gold can also become a standard for judging how much a man is worth.

So, the three of them quickly left the hotel where Fujido was staying.

"Thank you. At the moment of walking out of the hotel door, Li Mengxi said to Richard.

"Why do you suddenly say thank you?"

"When you first enter the house, you deliberately leave it at the end, and it looks like the door is closed, but it's just a hidden door, and it's really closed when you're leaning against the door. You are afraid that Fujido will hurt us on the spur of the moment, so you have a way out, because the tenant has the right to dispose of everything in the interior space. ”

"Richard, you've done something like this!" Hinata also suddenly realized.

Seeing that what he had done was broken, Richard curled the corners of his mouth.

"I'm a little sorry for Fujido to say that, but I'm more familiar with you than him. So, goodbye both, by the way, the door to 'Oberiske' is always open for you. ”

The words were closed, and Richard turned and walked away with vigorous steps.

"Well, let's go to lunch. Is it still the Shan Pavilion?" Li Mengxi said and took a step towards the Eastern District.

Hinata let out a soft "um" and followed. She looked at Li Mengxi's face from the side, and then took a deep breath.

"Well, do you have time after five o'clock in the evening?"

I see, dinner is also together.

Li Mengxi thought like this and nodded.

"No problem, let's go together. ”

Hearing this, Hinata Nain pursed her lips and smiled.

"When the time comes, I'll see you at the East Square. ”
