Chapter Twenty-Six: Braids

The joint residence of the Scroll Society and the Alchemist Alliance, where the white-robed mage Ambaba is located, is not too far from Sneda City, and although we are slightly off the direction of going out of the city, we still arrive quickly with our mounts. It was already crowded outside the joint dwelling, and in the distance I saw two orcs running towards me panting, shouting loudly, "Turtledove, we have finally waited for you." It seems that something has happened, and our regiment commander Aze and the deputy regiment leader are looking for you like crazy. ”

What's the big deal? What else can I do, I guess I'm waiting for a long time. When I was picking up girls, I didn't encounter this kind of waiting for people to live like a year. However, I still came, and it was my duty not to release them. I smiled, "Aren't I here, where are they, Hannah?" I'm going to go to them. ”

I rushed straight down the path towards the gate of the federation, followed by a large stone with a broken chest, and he looked around and said, "It's the first time I've seen so many players get together, turtledove, your charm is really great." What are you going to do, is it a charter upgrade? ”

"You're a big-headed ghost." I spat him, "You're blind, these are all people from the [God Destroyer Legion], not my subordinates." ”

"Huh." The stone looked at it carefully and made sure that my words did not lie to him, and then smiled, "I didn't pay attention, I looked away." However, I heard that your relationship with the [Destruction God Legion] is like that of a husband and a wife, and they are intimate, inseparable. How much they gathered here today has something to do with you. ”

"It's time to do the task." I said impatiently. What kind of marriage is this guy except for upgrading, husband and wife, his brain won't be a stone like his name.

"What task do you need so many people?" Shi asked curiously, "There are too many people to earn much from experience, and it is troublesome to share the spoils of equipment." ”

Stone's way of thinking is different from ordinary people, so I decided to name him Malaysian thinking, and I feel like it's better to ignore him for this kind of Malaysian thinker. I grabbed Mayo between my legs, picked up speed, and swooped through the gate, finding Hannah and the others standing on the lawn a little further inside the doorway. They were discussing something intensely, and then they seemed to hear the sound of my mount running, and some of them turned their heads.

"Ikarugya, what kind of plane are you doing? I told us to gather here at nine o'clock in the morning, but you are good, it will be almost ten o'clock. Look at it, the sun has climbed so high......" The pants were excitedly condemning my unscrupulous behavior, when suddenly I caught a glimpse of the white clouds jumping down from the big stone on my chest, and immediately changed the topic, "I don't seem to have seen who this girl in the white robe is." ”

"Her name is Bai Yun Duoduo, and she is a swordsman, and she just met this morning. It just so happened that she was also coming to the federation, so they walked together. I rolled over and jumped off the tiger's back, wiped the ring and took Mayu in, and then asked the pants, "I heard from the two people at the door, what is the big thing happening?" ”

The face of the pants became ugly, and the people around me seemed to hear my question, and they all fell silent for a while, and they all glanced at Hannah, and the scene was extremely quiet. Could it really be that something has happened with serious consequences? My heart began to restless, and my eyes wandered over the faces of the people, hoping to find some clue.

"Is there a Miss World contest here, why are there so many beauties?" Suddenly, a rough voice burst out of the air, which was clearly the usual tone of the big stone brother in his chest, and it was obvious that he didn't understand the situation at the scene. He walked to Remia's side with a big grin, and stretched out his arm to hug him: "Little sister, I see that you are very delicate, do you want my brother to take you to fight monsters and upgrade?" ”

Oh my God, I groaned to myself, and then put my hand on my forehead weakly, this living treasure he did on purpose. Remia was visibly dazzled by the stone's sudden move, and stood still, not speaking. However, the flea reacted quickly and walked over, brushed aside the stone and put her arm around Remia's hand, and said in a calm tone: "You don't have to worry about Remia's upgrade, there are many people here who will take her to upgrade." ”

"So this beautiful woman's name is Remia," Stone didn't mind the flea pulling his hand away, but began to admire Remia's name, "What a name, it has the flavor of a European waltz, and it is really seamless with your youthful and beautiful appearance." Good name. ”

As soon as the flea was about to say something, Xiao Ni, who was standing behind him, suddenly reached out with a hand, grabbed his clothes and pulled the collar backwards, and muttered quietly: "Who wants you to be nosy, come back to me." ”

Removing the flea as a stumbling block, the stone became even more unscrupulous, and he grabbed one of Remia's small hands and asked in a friendly tone, "Miss Remia, you must still be celibate in the game." You may not know that when the player level reaches twenty and the friendship of both sides reaches a certain level, it will ......"

Damn, here we go again, how many times a day he's going to say this, won't he get bored? I coughed heavily and interrupted him, "Mr. Broken Chest, can you talk about it later, don't you see that we are having a small meeting now?" When the meeting is over, you can find whoever you like. But now, can you go over and let me be quiet for a while? ”

"No problem." The big stone on his chest nodded, and his mouth promised without hesitation, but his hand still grabbed Remia's small hand and didn't let go, "Miss Remia, what I said to you is true, I want you to ......"

"Still don't get out of here?!" I couldn't take it anymore and flew up with a kick that sent this nagging guy straight to the moon rocket. I patted my trouser leg and asked Hannah, "What the hell is going on, does it matter?" ”

Hannah nodded solemnly, then replied, "Ambaba is dead." ”

……

A thunderbolt on a sunny day, I gouged my ears with my fingers, and then leaned my head forward to make sure I heard correctly: "What did you say?" Hannah, Ambaba is dead, the white-robed mage Ambaba is dead, and the NPC we handed in the task is dead? ”

"I didn't lie to you." The pants jumped out, "Do you know when Ambaba died?" Fifteen minutes ago!! O my Lord God, how did we have such an idiot leader? If you arrive on time, you'll be ready to hand in the task, and we may have completed the second fragment and started working on the third fragment. Oh my God. ”

"Died fifteen minutes ago?" I was so annoyed that watching everyone look at me silently made me look like the culprit. This Ambaba is playing with me, isn't it? Lao Tzu spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and owed N people a lot of love to complete this task. Now I've traveled thousands of miles to deliver the mission, but I'm dead. The international joke couldn't have come at a better time.

I scratched my head: "Really dead?" ”

"Dead."

"Can the pastor be resurrected?"

"There's no way for players to resurrect NPCs."

"Why?"

"It's fucking set up by the system, you ask me and I ask who to go? You are the head of the regiment, now give me a way to come out, my day. "When I saw that I had a stubble in my pants, I began to shake again.

"Did the other NPCs here say anything?" I asked. According to the general truth, it is like a king, if the king dies, there will always be some prince and heir to succeed him, replace his predecessors, and continue the work of the previous one. This Ambaba is hanging, and the system has to arrange someone to work for him. It's not the same thing for me to directly find that person to hand over the task, I really don't understand, what this group of people are shouting and screaming, as if the sky is falling, what is it for.

"Five minutes ago, more than twenty knights from the Golden Rose Rose Knights who assisted the Scroll Society in handling the matter had arrived. Now they have cordoned off the scene of the incident and are conducting further investigations. Flea stepped forward and explained the current situation.

"That's not what I wanted to ask." I shook my hand, "I mean if there is an NPC that will reveal who will take Ambaba's place, that is, who will take over Ambaba's job." Let's just go straight to the replacement, how and when Ambaba died is none of my business. ”

"There is no one to replace it for the time being." Hannah replied for the flea, "The officials of the Book Society say that Ambaba is proficient in the art of rebirth, and that after a while, he will be resurrected himself." Therefore, there is no need to arrange for people to pick up Ambaba's class. ”

"Rebirth? Oops, great, I knew this old man wasn't so easy to hang on. I laughed happily and asked, "When will Ambaba be resurrected?" ”

"Five days later." The pants poured a basin of cold water over the time, "Five days later, boss, the competition will be open at that time, and it will be beyond the time limit you set yourself." ”

Five-day ...... I didn't say I was tired, so I didn't need to take such a long vacation.

After a lot of hard work, most of them relied on luck to complete the first fragment mission that seemed impossible at all, and now I'm stuck here, I'm really unwilling. I'll have to go to the scene and see for myself, maybe I'll find some clues.

At first, the NPCs who maintained the site politely refused to allow us to enter the incident site, but for me, who had already figured out the NPC's temper, this was a typical bluff. It only cost five gold coins to make it in, and the stay is still infinite, except that I can't touch anything, I can only look at it.

Ambaba died in the small study where he had always worked, with a few sheets of paper spread out on the spotless old desk, and a quill next to it, the ink on the tip of the pen had not yet completely dried, and Ambaba had indeed just died. He leaned back against his wooden high-legged chair, and in his chest was a large hole the thickness of a monstrous cup, which ran through his body and ran through his back, as if he had been pierced through his chest by some strange force. Although I have read a lot of detective novels, especially Sherlock Holmes, I can say that I am reciting them backwards, but I have to admit that I am not a detective anymore. I couldn't tell anything from the scene. All I could see was that Ambaba was dead, with a big hole in his chest, and that's it.

Wait, I seem to see a small half of a strange pattern looming under Ambaba's right hand on the armrest of the chair, and I took advantage of the NPC at the maintenance site not paying attention, and gently flicked Ambaba's right hand, and a complete pattern ran into my eyes. It was a pattern of two flattened circles joining each other, somewhat similar to the symbol for infinity in mathematics. Does this have any special meaning, the two circles of infinity, end to end, will Ambaba want to leave us some important information? It's so simple, and I'm not an ancient Mayan prophet who can figure out God's will for me.

Just as I approached the strange pattern and was about to ponder its meaning further, the small circle on the left of the pattern suddenly lit up, as if an incandescent lamp was hidden underneath, and the lamp was lit up instantly. I screamed in my heart, and my body flashed backwards in a hurry, but it was too late. A pale blue white light shot at me, and before I could make any evasive moves, it struck me through the chest. The strength of the whole body seemed to be pulled away from the body by something in an instant, and the whole person softened. I coughed up a mouthful of blood and threw myself on the ground, then lost consciousness.

The system sound of reporting worries and not good news sounded in my ears again:

"You took 6698 Electro damage. You're hanging. Since you are now under the effects of the experience curse, the experience you lose will be deducted when you lift the curse. ”

Damn, I'm hanging again. I curse you, Lord God of all evils, and let me hang up normally and clearly, okay?
