After sorting out their equipment, Li Xiang and the maid sat back in the black carriage, and after a bumpy journey, they came to a remote town.

The town still retains the style of a hundred years ago, with few roaring steam units and no steam turbines that provide a strong driving force.

The only thing that people can remember is the lighthouse standing high in front of the town, and the interior below is full of giant black gears that are so rusty that they can barely move, and Li Xiang can clearly see the trajectory of the gears inside that are turning with difficulty.

A faint light was shining, and what should have been a never-extinguishing fire cluster at the top was almost annihilated in the storm.

Dark clouds are thick, and the wind and rain are coming.

A few bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, and occasionally a few floatboats could be seen gliding through the torrential rain, disappearing in the black fog around the massive tower that connected the sky and the earth in the distance.

The lighthouse is a very special kind of building in Yalu, even if it has been eliminated by the times, it can still be seen everywhere, because of its own legendary color, all forces uniformly prohibit the demolition of any lighthouse buildings left in Yalu.

Three hundred years ago, the Goddess of Calamity system descended, and the first players resisted the calamity with their flesh and blood, and the lighthouses erected one by one were not only used as early warnings of the invasion of calamity, but also used to guide these departed souls back home.

It is precisely because these pioneers are fearless of death that they used their bodies to block the footsteps of the calamity that the Great Wall of Calamity was later created, and the current prosperous Seven Continents are here.

Li Xiang looked at the lighthouse with some emotion, those rusty gears and the brown stains on them gave him an indescribable sense of heaviness, which was a feeling that could only be formed with countless lives.

Small town, café.

Li Xiang took the note given to him by the maid and went to find Dong Linglan's family of three according to the seat, they should be waiting for him here, and once the two sides connect, it means that the task is officially started.

And he only had three days to send them to the steam station in Hangzhou.

The café also exudes a nostalgic vibe, with mahogany tables and chairs neatly lined up against the walls of large transparent glass windows, and girls dressed in retro-style maid outfits lazily holding mops.

There weren't many customers in the café at all, and the eye-catching family of three could be seen at a glance, but to be on the safe side, he checked the location provided by the note.

"Table 12. Li Xiang put away the note, walked towards the table, and a man with a flower arm walked in front of him, he deliberately rushed a few steps faster, and collided with Li Xiang's shoulder.

Li Xiang frowned, ignored him, and was about to move on, but he grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Boy, you hit someone......" The flower-armed man was still looking for trouble or something, but when he saw the Type III mobile device in Li Xiang's windbreaker, he immediately shut up and ran away.

Li Xiang ignored him and waved his hand at the maid: "A cup of black coffee." Table 12. ”

"Okay. The maid nodded, put down her mop, and trotted to the bar.

Li Xiang walked quickly to table 12, Lu Hai was a tall and thin man, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, curled up, his hair was a little messy, he looked very nervous, and he subconsciously wanted to get up when he found Li Xiang coming.

The woman sitting opposite him was dressed very exquisitely, with light makeup on her face, long blond hair shawled down, her Asian-European face was very eye-catching, and the little girl in her arms was wearing a pink dress, inheriting her father's hair color and her mother's appearance, and was sucking coffee from a coffee cup.

Dong Linglan was obviously much calmer, she reached out to hold her husband's arm, and then smiled faintly at Li Xiang.

"Family glory is above all else. Li Xiang's super memory quickly came into play, saying that his own name and the other party's name were not suitable, as soon as this sentence blurted out, Dong Linglan's face immediately changed.

Her eyes widened and she was skeptical, she did send out a distress mission, but this teenager, or the big boy, was too young to feel like a college student.

"It's not safe here, let's change places. Li Xiang did not hesitate, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the door of the café. Dong Linglan didn't hesitate any longer, picked up her daughter and pulled her husband and followed him out.

The four of them walked out of the café and came to table 12 with black coffee in hand, only to see a stack of blue star coins of the maid messy in the wind.

It was raining heavily outside, and Li wanted to escort them along the streets, a town with a small population, and now that the rain was pouring down, the street shops were basically closed.

"Where is this?How far is it from Hangzhou, and what other towns are nearby?Do the people who are chasing you know who it is?" asked Li Xiang in a low voice as he walked quickly.

"This, this town doesn't have a name, Hangcheng's words ......" Lu Hai shuddered, the other party was so young that he might be a magic apprentice, for this kind of reserve player, he felt afraid from the bottom of his heart.

"Nameless town, we have to walk for at least half a month from Hangzhou, there are only Black City, Shadow City and Tianshui City nearby, the first two places are mixed areas, and the people who hunted us down came from'Black Eagle', an ordinary killer group, most of the members were retired military soldiers and underground killers. ”

Dong Linglan was much calmer than her husband, her thoughts were clear, and she answered Li Xiang's questions one by one.

"May I ask why we are in a hurry to leave now, we are sure that we have not been followed when we come to the nameless town......" She carried her daughter in her arms, and walked a little hard, trying not to let the rain get on her daughter.

Li Xiang suddenly paused, his face expressionless: "That man hit me just now, such a thorn can't wander for a long time before looking for me as a target, remember, there is no absolute in everything, it's better to be careful than not to die, whether you believe me or not, now only by listening to my arrangement, can you have a chance to live." ”

"Good. Dong Linglan readily agreed.

He stopped, Lu Hai, this man is a little weak, he can't be relied on, Dong Linglan himself may not have much combat power, and now he still has a little Lori, which is about the same as he expected, and the difficulty of the task is not low.

As for the Black Hawk Killers, he had to find out about it later.

"Come, brother, hug you. Li Xiang tried his best to show a smile and reached out to hug Lu Yu in Dong Linglan's arms, fortunately, he has taken care of his sister since he was a child, and he still has a hand for such a little Lori.

When facing Lu Yu, the vigilance and killing intent on his body disappeared without a trace, and Lu Yu was also very well-behaved, knowing that this was the person who helped his parents, he obediently stretched out his little arm and threw himself into Li Xiang's arms.

Without a daughter, Dong Linglan was finally able to barely keep up with Li Xiang's pace, while Lu Hai, who looked thin, was walking like a fly, and it seemed that his physical fitness was not bad.

"Thank you, little brother, what do you call it?" Lu Hai mustered up the courage to talk, but ran into a wall.

Li Xiang didn't really want to communicate too much with their couple, in his presupposition, the next three days would be full of dangers, and to make such a strange couple trust themselves unconditionally, then it was best to put on a professional and cold attitude.

"Is there a magic apprentice in Black Hawk?" This is what Li Xiang is most worried about, the opponent is only a retired soldier and an underground killer, so the threat is not big, and the magic apprentice is an opponent on another level, and all plans will change.

Dong Linglan shook his head, and then added, "Black Hawk is just an ordinary killer regiment, and there are no magic apprentices in charge, but their leader, Black Hawk, seems to be a strong mercenary. Unless they hire an apprentice magician, they shouldn't be able to touch it. ”

Magic apprentices can also be hired? Li Xiang was about to blurt out the words that were forced back, this kind of layman's words are better to ask less, not a player, there should be various needs, and if there is a demand, he may be hired.

They continued to walk through the streets, Li Xiang was completely unfamiliar with the nameless town, and took them to various shuttles and shuttles just mindlessly, and then repeatedly confirmed whether there was any possibility of being followed and monitored.

As long as he is not an unpredictable magic apprentice, then he has a way to get rid of the person who is stalking, and in the polar night, concealment and counter-tracking are one of the important daily trainings.

After patiently taking them around for nearly three hours, Li Xiangcai led Dong Linglan and Lu Hai, who were a little dizzy, to a small hotel.

Lu Yu had already fallen asleep sweetly in his arms, and Dong Linglan was stunned to find that Li Xiang had touched the town in the process of wandering around, and at the same time memorized all the routes.

The small hotel he was looking for was diagonally opposite the café they had met before, with the street out of the window of the room, and a close distance to the town's lighthouse, making it a good location for escape and surveillance.

"Two rooms. Li Xiang paid the deposit, picked up the key and went up to the second floor with them, but when he got to the door, he let the couple enter the same room as him.

The room in the small hotel is relatively poor, the four people are actually quite crowded, Li Xiang carefully put Lu Yu on the bed, and after covering the quilt, he closed the curtains, revealing only a gap.

Under the dim light, the three of them were relatively silent.

"I'll stay with you and leave tomorrow morning. I'll go out and come back in five to ten minutes, and call me by name if there's any situation, Li Xiang. Li Xiang hesitated, but still gave the fangs to Dong Linglan, seeing the dagger made by his family, Dong Linglan's expression changed, and then looked at Li Xiang's eyes were different.

"Good. She nodded, watching Li want to leave.

As soon as Li Xiang left the room, he quickly checked the corridor and saw if there were any other passages to the second floor, and then quickly entered the next room, and rushed down to the second floor after dealing with it.

Ten minutes later, Li Xiang knocked on the door, and Dong Linglan, who was still dry, walked out with fangs in his hands, and only let out a long sigh when he saw him.

It seems that he has not let his guard down.

He carried a few dinners in his hand and placed them casually on the small table, holding a paper tube in his left hand.

Lu Yu rubbed his eyes and got up, and Lu Hai just came out of the steaming bathroom, Dong Linglan would rather get wet than rush to rinse, which made Li Xiang very satisfied, if the employer was a fool, the difficulty of the task would surge.

He signaled that it was okay, and Dong Linglan walked to the bathroom with Lu Yu in his arms.

The four-person room was more embarrassing, the partition window of the bathroom was almost transparent, Li Xiang beckoned to Lu Hai, pulled him with his back to the bathroom, leaned on the windowsill and talked.

He spread out the paper tube in his hand, which was a map bought from downstairs by the way, he had a preliminary plan, and planned to communicate with Lu Hai first, but he didn't expect that although this man looked weak, he had quite an opinion on this aspect.

It turns out that Lu Hai's real major is the transportation major under steam technology, and he is very familiar with urban traffic.

The two talked for a while and confirmed the general route, if you want to go to Hangzhou, you must first take an intercity train, the more regular one is Tianshui City, but the enemy will be ambushed there 100%.

And Black City and Shadow City both have unregular intercity trains, which are mixed, but Black Hawk has limited manpower, and Li Xiang feels that they will not have too many people in these two places.

can only plan for the time being, and Li Xiang will have to think about the specific situation. After the discussion, he sat down against the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, this was the first mission, remembering what Mr. Rocca said, he always felt that the task was not easy.
