Turning into a peregrine falcon and rushing back, he saw from afar that the city was filled with smoke, and the garrison isolated the three floors of the lord's mansion from the outside three floors. When he inquired about Golden Rose, he learned that Sherman had killed his wife and other close relatives like crazy after returning to the city, and set fire to the castle, and now he is missing, and the Dawn Sect, the Council of Nobles, and the garrison are all looking for him. But Sherman is like the world is steaming, and even the prophets only determined that he was still hiding in the city, but he couldn't determine the specific location.

The work of extinguishing the fire continued until late at night, and the whole city was under martial law, and a curfew was imposed at night, and mercenaries outside the city were also ordered not to make trouble.

Without apocalypse, Link could only wait patiently for news from the cobwebs. Yuan Ye and Paine arrived at Aiden in the dark, trapped outside the city because of the curfew, and thanks to Hawk Lingtong's news network, he knew that the two, especially the Bard, had a close relationship with Link, so he found someone to get them into the city.

dragged his tired body back to the tavern, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Link, and Yuan Ye came out of his anger after holding back for a day.

"I think we need to have a good talk. ā€

"Listen up. Yuan Ye threw the mandolin and the rattan armor shield onto the bed, and just stood waiting for Link's explanation. Paine wanted to avoid it, but Link kept him.

"I told you before that this game was sent to me by my former table mate. Link didn't tell Yuan Ye that his classmate had died because of the game. One is that he feels that things have nothing to do with him, but he doesn't want to cause unnecessary panic.

"Actually...... He died ten years ago because of this illusory world we live in. ā€

Yuan Ye and Paine were quite surprised, they had very little contact with players, and they didn't understand the dangers of the game as thoroughly as Link, in their opinion, it was just a magical live-action RPG.

"You don't even know that this game is going to die, do you?" said Link's expressions. No, they have been in the illusion for so long, how can they not know?

"What, will you die if you play this?" Yuan Ye immediately jumped up, he had more players than Paine, but everyone was a novice, and they all knew little about the game.

"You don't know, then why would you ask Lin Li for help in your dream and ask her to find a game master to save you?" If it weren't for that, Link wouldn't have been re-involved in this strange fantasy that he had already avoided.

"Just kidding, if I have the ability to fall asleep, I will still be trapped in the tomb by the necromancer?

Yuan Ye's words were like a basin of cold water that poured Link on his heart.

It's not Yuan Ye, who is that?

"Did Lin Li tell you and me to play the game?"

"Having said that, what does it matter?"

The relationship is big, looking at Yuan Ye's inexplicable face, Link finally chose to hide it. He didn't have any evidence, and he couldn't tell what was going on, so why bother scaring everyone by saying it, anyway, there was more to this game than that. Interjected to Paine and diverted Yuan Ye's attention so that he did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"All I know is that if the body dies in the game, it will affect the body in reality. "Paine knows a little more than Yuan Ye, but it's only about causing damage to the body. Riverdale is in a remote location, and after playing for almost half a year, Paine has only seen three players, and he asks Link how he knows this.

"The game disc sent by my classmate back then was secretly intercepted by my stepmother, and I only recently learned that my classmate died because of this, if he hadn't ......" Link pointed to Yuan Ye, and finally didn't use the adjective 'stealing', he vaguely continued, "Actually, I also knew from my classmate's younger brother, he entered Edgar in order to investigate the cause of his brother's death, and I learned from him and his friends in the game that my classmate was framed by his friends, and his physical death in the fantasy world, mentally trapped in the game, and the ** in reality." Turned into a vegetative state, his family had to abandon treatment after the hospital declared him brain dead. ā€

With that, the room fell silent.

Link took a deep breath, "I didn't mean to hide your profession, the old players I came into contact with have repeatedly told me not to reveal their identities at will, and often the profession is easy to cause jealousy, and there are not a few players who have died for this reason." If you find it unbearable, I'll leave Aiden and find a map of the right level when I'm done with Lord Sherman's main quest. ā€

"Who said I couldn't stand it anymore!" Yuan Ye opened his mouth, and finally said something that made him feel embarrassed, "I thought that after this time of getting along, you already regarded me as a friend, not just your sister's boyfriend." Your behavior makes me feel like an idiot. ā€

Link obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, he was used to being alone, and he was used to thinking about things from his own point of view, although he felt that it was a little too bad to hide Yuan Ye, but he never changed his mind.

"I'll admit I'm a bit selfish to do that...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought too badly of people's hearts. ā€

"Okay, two big men, you are not disgusting, you say it like a confession. It's not a big deal, it's a grudge. Let's go down and have a drink?" Paine interjected at the right time, bringing yƬ downstairs for a drink.

"Not now, at least until Lord Sherman's matter is settled. "It's not that Link deliberately ruined the fun, no one can guess how the situation has changed, what if there is news of Sherman in a moment and they are all drunk?

"Yes. Tsk~ What is this lord crazy about? A good nobleman is not right, he wants to collude with the undead. Paine scratched his head in annoyance.

"How's your mission?" In addition to concealing his profession, Link's biggest guilt now is stealing Paine's quest props.

"As soon as I returned to the city, the people in the city club sent someone to inform me, saying that the task had changed, and it had been taken over by a higher-ranking member, and asked me to wait for the arrangement. I knew they weren't at ease, and they wanted to send someone like me, who was almost a novice, to participate in such an important task as a holy relic, and they just wanted to take advantage of me. If it weren't for you, I would have collapsed in that base this time. Paine is quite open-minded, and he doesn't mind Link's concealment, this kind of little secret related to vital interests, who is few.

"You've been with me all the time, how did they inform you?" Yuan Ye thought back and didn't see other pedestrians on the road, could this assassin guild still spread the word for thousands of miles?

"Assassins have their own way of contacting, and if they communicate openly, can they be considered secret. Paine felt that Yuan Ye's IQ was hopeless.

"Of course I know it's secret, I mean...... Hey, forget it, you all think I'm idiots. Yuan Ye angrily lay down on the bed.

Without him interfering, Paine and Link discuss Sherman's whereabouts.

Of course, it is impossible for the lord to still hide in the burned down family heirloom mansion, which has been turned upside down by Dawn, the council, and the guards, and doing such an act of self-destruction means that he has only one way to go, transforming the undead.

"Even if you run out of slots, you can feel the breath of the undead. Paine asked, he didn't know anything about the Children of Nature, but he could know most of it if he brought in a druid or paladin.

Link nodded, citing Dawn, which is more famous in human cities, as an example, "Sensing the undead doesn't need to cast spells, and like Dawn believers, they can sense hostile factions without praying." ā€

"Then you ......" Needless to say, Link is still sitting here, which means that he does not know Sherman's whereabouts. This could be understood as Sherman still alive, or maybe he had a way to hide the aura of the undead.

"It's both, I'm just a newbie, and worse than you, I don't have a reference yet. ā€

Chatting and chatting about the main line of the Children of Nature, Paine, who heard so many fierce news for the first time, couldn't help but ask curiously, if the Northern Battle is lost, and the undead go south to turn Big 6 into a country with only death, what should they do as players?

What else can I do? The game is over, and the player is going to die as well.

Link's answer made Paine and Yuan Ye, who had been listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up, shudder. Why isn't there any mention of the undead in their quest?

"This ...... Probably related to the profession, the children of nature and the undead are rivals. Link said the explanation he heard from Gonzalez, the novice period is for players to adapt, the veteran period is for players to upgrade, and entering the expert period is to subdivide the professional specialization by the way, and the real main line will not appear until the master, and there is no need to deliberately upgrade at this stage, if you can further advance to the peak, it will not be far from the ultimate goal of summoning gods.

"Is anyone really successful?" Paine was skeptical about summoning the gods, "This isn't a manga that can fulfill a wish with seven dragon balls, we're all going through a near-real game." ā€

"Maybe that's the real purpose of the guys who make the game, to summon things that don't belong to the earth. ā€

Link: "......"

Paine: "......"

Yuan Ye: "What, I said it wrong again?"

Link: "Actually, I had similar thoughts. ā€

Paine: "Me too." ā€

Yuan Ye was about to speak, but Link suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait, the druid is here, don't say in front of him that it will expose us as players. ā€

There was a sudden burst of brisk footsteps in the corridor, and then someone tapped the door twice, Yuan Ye opened the door, and it was really Jafar who was standing outside.

"Hawke wants to see you. ā€

The servants working in the lord's mansion suffered heavy casualties, among which the maid who was wrapped in a cobweb arranged by Sherman's side had a sharp knife wound in addition to burns, and because she might know the whereabouts of the lord, the priest of Dawn had been treating her, and now, she was finally sober.

The map on Hawke's desk includes Aiden's various periods, and Sherman's hiding underground is almost unanimously confirmed, but Aiden is an old city with a history of hundreds of years, and it is an impossible task to find a mage who deliberately hides himself in such a city that has been rebuilt several times on the ruins, especially with the Night Elves by his side.

Although the spider web has broken away from the Natural Alliance, but because it is well-informed, all parties are willing to spend a lot of money to buy news from it, and now not only the noble council and the garrison, but even the dawn who can't determine the exact location of Sherman has sent an intermediary to contact, Hawke reluctantly refuses one by one, he really has no news of Sherman.

When Jafar entered the room with Link, he saw the intelligence head of the Cobweb Branch pacing back and forth in frustration.
