Chapter 11: The Black Ice Knight (2)
In the special private room of the Pavilion, seven people who had worked together to decipher the inscription of the obelisk gathered again.
First after that incident, Richard Alphons, who was revered by some as the "Hero of the Obelisk", and then his younger brother Williams Alphons. Then there are their college classmates, Lady Lomaria Golenville, whose dictionary is now almost a must-have for players, and Hughes Adolphus, a boy she has been working with since she was half-coerced. Finally, Bordeaux Lonsminster, who had been separated for a while, eventually joined them.
They appeared here after receiving contact from Nayin Hinata and accepting Li Mengxi's invitation.
After a short greeting, Li Mengxi immediately went straight to the point and explained the situation he and Hinata Nain were facing now, so the atmosphere in the private room at this moment would be extremely serious.
......After a long silence, Richard let out a sigh of relief, and then said to Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain, "I roughly understand what you said. I accept this request.
Hearing this, the expressions of Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain finally soothed.
"What do you think?"
Immediately afterward, Richard looked left and right at his teammates.
"What else?" said Lamaria with a shrug of her shoulders, "Since it's about lifting the level lock, even if we don't have the request of Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain, we have to try to attack that boss, right?"
Williams and Bordeaux also nodded in agreement, while Hughes exclaimed, "Big sister is right!"
"Hey, how many times have I told you not to call me big sister!"
Probably accustomed to this scene, Richard didn't care about the quarrel between the two people, but looked at Li Mengxi and Hinata again with a serious face.
"I believe that you should also understand that team-level dungeon strategy, even if there is only one boss, is not something that can be done simply by saying 'let's go' with enthusiasm, but it needs to be carefully planned on the basis of obtaining sufficient intelligence, and it takes time to run in tacit understanding in order to finally succeed. Moreover, we can say that we cannot tolerate failure at all, and therefore we need to be more prepared. So, I don't want the two of you to have an extra psychological burden. Williams took that thing out. ”
Hearing this, Williams nodded, and then materialized an object from his prop warehouse, which was a book.
"Look at whether you recognize this book. ”
As he spoke, Williams handed the hardcover thick-shell book to the neighboring Li Mengxi.
After taking it, Li Mengxi moved the book to the right hand side and looked at it carefully with Nayin Hinata, and the two couldn't help but be taken aback. Because this book is the prop that they use to start the quest chain.
At this time, observing the expressions of the two people, Richard said, "This is the first thing I want to say to the two of you." We also received the task you completed, and it was about a week before you. Not only us, but I am afraid that several teams that can be regarded as first-line have received this task. ”
"You mean, it's the same for everyone, do you? Li Mengxi and Richard looked at each other and said, the latter nodded.
"However, I don't think this can be any less responsible. Nane Hinata answered with a heavy heart.
"I think so too. Just objectively, this is an accident. ”
"Accident!" is not ...... this statement?
"It's an accident, yes. Nayin Hinata interrupted, "In this game world of the rules of death, it is not 100% correct to conceal information that is beneficial to oneself or one's companions, such as quests and dungeons, but it is also not wrong, because after all, the quality of ability, equipment, and the speed at which it is obtained are almost equal to the survival rate. On this premise, you contributed to the almost total destruction of that team by accident. This means that we, or any other team, or even anyone else who has been given this task, can lead to this outcome. You're just too lucky. ”
"What do you mean?"
"We failed in this mission. Richard said a little unwillingly. It seems that he recalls the feeling of regret at the beginning.
"You said failed, did you fail to conquer the labyrinth?"
"If that's the case, can we still sit here now?"
It was Luo Maria who answered Li Mengxi. Indeed, the labyrinth under the strategy of Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine is a setting where only advances are not allowed to retreat, and if you fail, you will either be trapped or die.
"And it would be nice if that were the case! at least I'd seen what that labyrinth looked like you did. Our situation is much more aggrieved! The map we got is a fake at all, and we finally found the marked location but there is nothing! And even the mission NPCs are different! Is there a mistake!"
Romania became more and more excited and slammed her fist on the table, but her mood changed 360 degrees in the next second.
"But that's one of the fun things about the game. ”
"It's not just us, I'm afraid it's the same for other teams. Richard added.
"It's like a lottery. "Hinata is frank about her opinion.
"Yes, and you've won the lottery. Richard laughed, "Honestly, if we were to have this happen to us, it would only be a little uncomfortable for a few days." But the two of you came here and asked us to form a team to attack the boss. I think it's enough to be benevolent, so the guilt of the two of you can end there. ”
Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine didn't say anything, and Richard didn't hope that these two people would immediately say something like "what they said" and then they would be completely fine, but it was a little relieved to see the gloom on their faces subside a little.
"The second thing I'm going to say. Richard continued, "Actually, you must have been suspicious when you saw us. ”
Hearing this, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain nodded almost at the same time, and then the former solved the problem.
"Equipment. ”
"Not bad. The equipment we're wearing now is all dropped from the dungeon. As Miss Lomaria said, we withheld information about a labyrinth, which means we have exclusive access to this copy. And not inviting the two of you is my decision as the team leader, and I apologize here, sorry. ”
"It doesn't have to be like this. Li Mengxi responded indifferently, "Your judgment is correct." The two of us are not members of your team, and you don't know our relationships, so it's irresponsible to your own partners to call us in just because of our friendship at the Obelisk and increase the risk of accidents. ”
"It's good that you understand me, brother!" said Richard, very happy. It seems that he really likes Li Mengxi.
"Ahem. Seeing that Richard's emotions were a little excited at this time, Romania was afraid that he would forget his business and coughed lightly twice.
"Without further ado, as far as I know, there are at least three other teams besides us that also have their own unique quests as sources of equipment. I mean invite them to work together to tackle the boss. ”
Richard's proposal was a good one, as the Ice Knight was almost confirmed to be a team-level boss. Since it is a team boss, it means that it is impossible to carry out the strategy on the size of the squad, and even if it is successful, the probability of the dead is not trivial.
Judging by the settings of other somatosensory games, the number of safe and correct raiders should be about 30 to 40. There were only seven people present, less than a third of the minimum standard, and teaming up with other teams was a must.
But what is right is not always easy to accept.
After hearing Richard's proposal, Li Mengxi immediately glanced at Naine Hinata, who had been holding her head down since just now.
Just now when Richard said that their team had exclusive copies of the copy, Naine Hinata already had an unhappy expression, but she lowered her head and hid it. Now, her emotions are even stronger.
Thinking about it rationally, Li Mengxi should unconditionally agree to Richard's proposal, and I believe that Hinata Naine will not say anything. However, he has a strong sense of self-awareness, and if he does so, it will be a betrayal of Naon's current mood.
"I agree. In the end, Li Mengxi still said so. As soon as she heard this, Hinata Nain's body tensed up all of a sudden.
"I have one condition, though!"
Hearing this, Hinata Nain raised her head and looked at Li Mengxi's resolute expression in surprise.
Richard, who also saw this expression, became serious, and he asked, "What conditions?"
"Disclose the information of all exclusive copies!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Richard was stunned for a full ten seconds.
"You're amazing, brother!" he laughed, "but that's easier said than done!" of course, we agreed, and in fact we had intended to make the information public just recently. However, the other three teams are not easy to say, and they are likely to rely on the possession of quest resources to expand their personnel. Didn't you let them cut their flesh?"
Faced with Richard's questioning, Li Mengxi smiled and smiled confidently.
"It's easier said than done. ”
