Chapter 17: The Mystery Man

The man heard my almost white words, and did not immediately lift his hat and start arguing with me blushing, nor did he snort indifferently and turn away. She stood still and explained in her soft tone, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but you're the only one in this tavern who has a seat in the room. ”

I listened to her and looked up and around a few times. No, I remember that not long before my conversation with Nelia, there were almost no people in this tavern, and the place was so spacious that it was no problem to lie down on all fours, but now it was full. Could it be that the residents of Qur'an Town have made an appointment to come to the tavern on the hour? I looked back at the stranger, and she was right, only the table I was sitting at by the wall had two empty seats. I didn't own this tavern, and I didn't pay for this table, which meant that I didn't have any reason to refuse the person in front of me, so I just nodded my head and said, "You can sit down." But I have something to say. Later, I have a few friends who are coming over, and I hope you will be more conscious when the time comes. ”

"Thank you." The man thanked him softly, then tightened his monk's robes and sat down across the table from me, "I'm only here for a moment, and I won't get in the way of you and your friends." ”

"That's good." I muttered quietly. This guy's attitude is not bad, quite polite, and I have a good impression of her for a moment, so let her go. However, she was really stupid, why did there be so many taverns in such a crowded place. Hmph, other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. I picked up the Voice Stone and tried to reconnect with Nelia. I polished this little stone according to the fixed procedure, and the stone lit up, and it is possible that it was just a temporary glitch just now.

"I'm sorry, the other party refused to call you, please contact later." What I tried in exchange for was a maddening system tone. Damn, Nelia, your brain is in water, you don't want the golden 20,000 gold coins, you dare to refuse to talk to me. I thought angrily as I took the trouble to polish the sound stone repeatedly, but all I got was a hint that the other party refused to talk to you.

"What?" I slammed the sound stone on the table in a huff and cursed.

"Young man, you seem to have some troubles?" Maybe it was because I was moving too far, shaking the fruit wine out of the hand of the stranger across from me. The stranger asked me in her warm voice.

"Do I have any troubles related to you?" I don't like to meddle with other people's business, and I don't like people to meddle with my business.

"There are a lot of adventurers in this town today, and it seems that they are all together. Are you one of them? The man seemed to be unconcerned about my rough answer, and asked another question.

"How is it?" I began to look at each other closely. She doesn't have any symbols on her head, which proves that she is not supposed to be an NPC. At least it's not a monster NPC against the player. However, it is not ruled out that she is an adventure NPC. Adventure NPCs walk in all corners of the continent like players, and will also engage in upgrades, exploration, treasure hunting, team-building, and various professional skills training like ordinary players. There is no shortage of interesting NPCs of this kind, and similarly, there is no shortage of annoying ones. Now that the guy across from me has been talking to me for a while, I'm starting to get interested in her identity.

She took a sip of her wine and said slowly, "You must have just returned from an adventure, and it was a very unsuccessful adventure. ”

"How so?" If this person was a player, I would have to start wondering why she was sitting next to me. If she's an adventure NPC, I'm curious about her enthusiasm.

"It's not hard for anyone with a little bit of adventure to see. I'm just guessing a little bit about it. Perhaps trying to avoid my direct gaze, she slowly lowered her head and picked up the glass in her hand.

"Are you a player or an NPC?" I asked, staring at her like a torch.

"It doesn't matter."

"So what's important?"

The thin lips at the bottom of her face, which was covered by the shadow of the front of the huge hood, showed an imperceptible smile, and she stretched out a green jade finger and pointed at the back of my body: "You see that man is eating so happily." ”

This is a typical answer. I thought to myself, but I couldn't help but turn my head in the direction she was pointing. It was a strong man as fat as a ball of meat, "lying" on top of his own dinner, his hands moving rapidly, destroying all kinds of food in front of him like a whirlwind. There's no denying that Divinity has done an impeccable job when it comes to eating. Although the system has a setting that you must eat on time, because if you don't consume a certain amount of food and water every day to ensure your physical strength like in real life, your skills in all aspects of your body will be affected to a certain extent, and even starve to death on the street, but even if there is no limit to this setting, many people will choose to take the initiative to find a variety of delicious food to satisfy their appetite. Someone on the forum said that the only purpose of playing "Divine Realm" is to eat all kinds of unique foods provided in the game. While everyone laughed, they also realized that "God Realm" is indeed a good game that embraces all things and meets the strange needs of all kinds of people.

I smiled, turned my head and said to her, "What's so strange about this, you see that people are so fat, it's normal to like to eat more." ”

"yes. Fat people always have the habit of gluttony. She slowly lowered the glass in her hand, and through the shadow under the hood, I could feel that she was watching me.

Yes, fat people always have a gluttonous habit. This couldn't be more normal. I silently repeated her words in my mind. Suddenly, something occurred to me, and I pushed the table away and swooped up from my seat. "Damn, fat people always have a greedy habit. I didn't expect that?! ”

The smile on the corner of the stranger's mouth on the opposite side became even stronger: "Nala has a good habit of going for a walk in her back garden at nine o'clock every night. I don't think today will be an exception. ”

"Nora! She actually knew what was happening to me? I was stunned for a moment by the stranger in front of me, and I asked her aloud, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"I said earlier, it doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I'm always on your side. Her tone didn't make a wave, she just raised a hand and slowly rested her jaw on the table, "Nine o'clock seems to be approaching." Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to just stand here stupidly? ”

"I seem to think it's more important to find out who you really are right now." I brushed the ground and pulled out the long dagger tied to my thigh, put it directly on her neck, and raised my voice an octave, "Say! Who are you? ”

The entire tavern fell silent for a moment, and everyone stopped all the activities they were doing. At the same time, I also noticed that there was an extra double-edged sword on my left and right shoulders, the sharp blade of which was tightly attached to the delicate skin that wrapped my slender neck, and it seemed that with a little force, I could easily break through the epidermis, cut off the major arteries hidden underneath, and splattered my blood five steps on the spot. The two murderous auras behind me were so powerful, I thought about dodging the moment of the lightning just now, but my body couldn't move. The two shinobi who suddenly appeared behind me seemed to have just drawn their swords nonchalantly and placed them on my shoulders. A strong sense of oppression, beads of sweat the size of beans ran down my forehead. NPCs, definitely super powerful NPCs.

I heard the crowd behind me whispering, "Oh my God, it's unbelievable, isn't this the King of the West, Sword Saint Laflis?" How did he end up in our little village? "Next to him should be the head of the Silver Angel Knights who dominate the south, known as the invincible judge of justice An Wei'er." "The hegemons of the West and the South will appear here so together? Could it be that there is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime demon here? O Lord God...... Please bless us devout believers. ”

The Sword Saint of the East, Laflis...... And...... An Weier, the righteous judge of the South...... As soon as I heard these two names, my whole body was instantly petrified. These two people, together with Faconidios, the king of the dawn in the east, and Elijah, the evil queen of the north, are the only existence of the main god in the "Divine Realm", the overlord of the four directions. My brain cells reached the maximum efficiency of their activities in an instant: these two super powerhouses had been lurking in the crowd until the last moment when they appeared, and they stopped me from any action that had a tendency to hurt the mysterious woman in front of me, which means that the two of them were protecting her at the same time, which means that the identity of this person in front of me is extremely special, so special that it needs the wholehearted protection of two of the four overlords...... Two words popped into my mind......

"Any subjective judgment without evidence can only lead to detours." The mysterious man gently reached out and pushed away the Nightmare Twin Blades I was holding around her neck, then raised her head slightly and said to the two people behind me, "Didn't I tell you not to show up?" Get your swords back, and if half of the hairs on this lady's neck fall off, get ready to change your clothes and go to Alcatraz to wash your dishes for half a year. ”

The two behind me obediently withdrew their broadswords from my shoulders. The mystery man stood up and slowly walked over to my side, then stopped and said, "I know, it's not your style to do things by brute force alone. ”

My mind was in a mess, too much reality and unreality, the past and the present were intertwined, causing an earth-shattering explosion, and I suddenly had a splitting headache. I fell to my knees in pain with my head in my hands. The mysterious woman reached out a hand and gently patted me on the shoulder, as if to say to herself, "Nothing happened...... Nothing has happened......" A dazzling white light suddenly exploded in front of my eyes, and I instinctively reached out to cover it, only to find that my consciousness was gradually blurring......

……

In my confusion, I seemed to feel that someone was shaking my body, and the movements were very rough, as if I was shaking a bottle of champagne, and trying to shake the liquid inside until it rushed out. I jerked my grip and grabbed the man's wrist, then twisted it back as I opened my eyes and shouted, "Who? ”

"It's me, Sister Ichidove." It turned out that the person I was holding was actually pants, and now his whole body was twisted in a very strange posture, he looked at me curtly, and said, "Boss, can you let go of me first, I have a hard time in this position." ”

It was only at his point that I pushed him away, and then stood up and looked around the tavern. What about the mysterious woman, the sword saint Laflis of the East, and the righteous judge of the South, An Weier? Why are there so few people in the tavern, isn't it almost full just now? I grabbed the collar of my pants and pressed my face against his face and asked, "What time is it now?" Tell me quickly. ”

The whole person was hanging from his pants, kicked his little short legs indiscriminately, and replied to me in a panic: "Turtledove, are you sleepy?" Didn't we just break up, and Hannah told us to move around for half an hour to make proper supplies and repair gear. ”

"Just ended? Is that possible? I let go of my hand and slammed my pants into a butt.

"Turtledove, to be honest, I really admire you, you can sleep so soundly in such a noisy environment, you have personality, I like it." Kadu sprang out from behind and patted me on the shoulder.

Could it be that I was just dreaming about what just happened? But that's all too real. I touched my neck, as if the two swords were still on my shoulders.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ni saw that my expression was wrong, so she came over and asked me with concern.

I wiped my forehead, smiled at her, and shook my head, "It's fine, just a little dizzy." Maybe it's because I just woke up. ”

"Oh." When Xiao Ni saw me say this, the expression on his face relaxed, "That's good." I thought you were overstimulated. ”

I suddenly remembered a very important thing, grabbed the flea standing next to me, and asked him anxiously, "What time is it, tell me quickly." ”

"Big ...... It's about 8:50. How...... What's wrong? "The fleas who are not on guard are suddenly at a loss.

It takes about ...... to get from the town of Kuran to the Snake Dance Manor at the foot of the Twin Snake Mountains I immediately began to make a rough estimate of how long the upcoming journey would take. Seemingly...... Time is tight. I jerked my head up and began to order, "Fleas, contact Hannah quickly and tell her to gather all the men at once." The others were ready to follow me on their way. Hurry up, we're running out of time. ”

"Turtledove, what do you want to do?" Everyone looked at me blankly, not knowing what kind of medicine I was selling in my gourd.

"I'm not the head of the regiment, what do you ask you to do, you will do it honestly for me, when have I treated you badly." I replied impatiently, "Everyone try to get to the Snake Dance Manor at the foot of the Twin Snake Mountains before nine o'clock as fast as possible. ”

The pants touched his beard and said strangely, "Isn't the Snake Dance Manor the territory of the Spelling Fire Master Nala?" Boss, aren't we going to continue to kill Zanol after we have rested, why do we have to rush to the place where the eight poles can't be hit together before nine o'clock? ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks. Today I will definitely hold the 'Fallen Dust' in my hands. I smirked. Whether it was a dream or something that happened, all I knew was that I had found a way to subdue Zanoor.
