There is a kind of person in this world who is very good at simplifying complex problems and then moving straight towards the ultimate goal.
Rosa was not unaware of the hidden traps in the rules, but she just didn't care much. She is strong enough to support such a method of action, and others cannot imitate her.
"Did you encounter any strange things? No, at most there were two sneak attacks. This is quite normal. After all, it is easier to get stars by killing people than doing tasks hard. Many people have this mentality."
Lu Ning caught a glimpse of the weapon Rosa placed on the ground. It was a long-handled war hammer with many strips of cloth wrapped around the handle, and blood clots were still coagulated on it.
"May I ask where you got this weapon?"
"The six-pointed star house in the courtyard provides such blunt weapons in the arsenal there." Rosa gestured, "But there are often people in that place, so I suggest you make sure of their attitude."
"Who is he? A mercenary?" Maoyou asked hurriedly
"Those guys who risk their lives for money? There seem to be some, but they're not common. Those guys know who they can mess with and who shouldn't be messed with, but their overly ambitious ambitions will eventually devour them." Rosa dressed neatly again and stretched out her hand to easily The seemingly heavy warhammer was put on his shoulder, "I don't care about those messy things. You can take care of yourself. By the way, that boy."
She raised her finger and pointed at Maoyou, startling him.
"Don't turn your back when you meet someone in the future. People who show their backs are more likely to die. This is experience."
After saying that, she hummed a tune she didn't know existed and left the room.
"People from the city wall..." Mao You looked at her back with envy and murmured.
Seeing his expression, Lu Ning asked Ping Na: "What kind of place is the city wall?"
"I just heard about it." Ping Na replied with a smile, "As a boundary between the inside and the outside, the people there are diligent in practicing martial arts, and they have formal military training, which is completely different from those of us who fight in groups. .”
"People on the city wall have received a certain degree of protection, unlike the streets and alleys where they have to worry about dying at any time every day." Mao You sighed, "But what difference does it make if you come here? Even Levance People like Ka from the pavilion have been sent in, so there’s no way the mastermind would come down to play this kind of game, right?”
"Do you know any information about the mastermind?"
"What can I know? The mastermind's external information is completely sealed. I am just a little thief. Where can I get the mastermind's information? Don't tell me, I guarantee that even Lewanska will not know the situation at all, otherwise he will You won’t come in at all!”
"Okay, let's end this topic." Lu Ning walked to the door of the two small rooms on the side and took a look. One was a weapons warehouse, and the other held a mission machine.
"Three-star mission...Rosa didn't mention this at all. She was probably taken away." Lu Ning tried it, and it was indeed in a state of being taken away.
Maoyou quickly took out three sets of light and warm cotton snow combat uniforms from the clothes area, closed the door and began to change his clothes. Lu Ning and Ping Na also took off their camouflage jackets and put on combat uniforms. They immediately felt much more comfortable.
"Neoyou, what kind of weapons are here?"
"Transformation type!" Mao You shouted from inside the door, "It's the type with hidden mechanisms that can be folded and hidden on the body! Sleeve arrows, arm armor knives, boot spurs, fist nails and so on!"
Lu Ning's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. Among the various weapons, she particularly liked this small weapon that was light, concealed and deadly.
"Have you changed your clothes? I'm going to get some of the weapons here."
"Lu! Have you forgotten? The mercenaries who attacked Scarface before had installed crossbows on the sentries! If the weapon types are different at every point, then the mercenaries must be here!"
"Of course I want this kind of thing! But now they are not here, I need such a weapon."
The door was opened. Mao You had already changed his clothes and looked at the door with a wary look on his face: "Don't we need to be on guard?"
"I've deployed the alert. Let's get out of here as soon as I get the weapons." Lu Ning pulled the person out and quickly dodged into the room.
=================
In the outer corridor of the Summer Garden, five or six people walked by as if scattered.
The leader was a handsome man with medium-long hair. He was still wearing the same white clothes as his pajamas from the beginning, but from the collar and cuffs, you could see that he was also wearing Spring Garden's unique night clothes. The man was holding a silver knight's sword in his hand, the tip of the sword hanging diagonally to the ground, and there was no scabbard on his body.
He is the leader of the mercenaries, Nimophis.
"Hofinger."
As he led the team towards the circular garden at the end of the corridor, he turned to look at his men.
"yes."
The person who answered was a rough and shaggy man, but his attitude was cautious and polite, even vaguely admiring.
"People often encounter similar problems, that is, a certain goal is always difficult to achieve, no matter how close it seems."
Nimophis said leisurely.
"The fourth-level props obviously only require ten stars, which is not a very difficult number for us to collect, but the maximum number I have reached before is nine, and then there are always some unexpected situations that require me to use up a few stars. Change the situation.”
"It's our incompetence, Lord Nimophis." Hofinger immediately lowered his head, "If we hadn't always bothered you with various situations, maybe you would have reached the fourth level!"
"Of course you are wrong, Hoffinger, and I don't intend to let it go lightly. But I also think that now is not the right time... This four-season garden will take people's progress into consideration when it is originally designed. , we are not in a position to influence the overall situation, so naturally we cannot get rid of certain 'accidents'."
Nimophis passed through a door and walked into a room on the outer edge of the small circular garden.
"If you need it, I have five stars here." Hofinger said hurriedly, "You must have accumulated something after completing the task just now. With my five stars, you can reach the fourth level immediately!"
"Hofinger, you are really slow." Nimophis walked along the curved wall to the middle and opened the door on the wall, which was the passage to the small circular garden inside.
"Please make it clear."
"Taking shortcuts... This is as completely undesirable behavior as finding a backer after losing." Nimophis shook the knight's sword in his hand and placed it flat on Hofinger's shoulder. "You have to understand that this is an overdraft. For future actions, it would be very foolish to try to achieve your goals by skipping efforts.”
"yes!"
"We don't care about those insidious and despicable methods, as long as they are not used on our own people... Mercenaries, when we gave ourselves this name, we were regarded as a group. Hoffinger, we don't need glory, But we need faith.”
"Our belief..." Hofinger hesitated.
"It's not a great word. We gathered together in order to live more comfortably, even in our current situation. Aren't you, all of you, gathering around me for this reason?"
"Your mind, your strength," Hofinger whispered.
"Don't worry, we have guests. Scores should be obtained from outsiders. Remember this, Hofinger."
Nimophis opened the elevator and led the people inside.
==============
Lu Ning did not enter the courtyard where deep snow had accumulated, but walked through the corridor to another courtyard.
The scenery here looks a little better. The snow on the ground is not particularly thick, and the cold is not much different from that in the corridor. It is actually a rare good weather in this garden.
There were still some flowering plants in the courtyard. The only ones Lu Ning could recognize were plum blossoms and holly trees. The rest of the plants were more characteristic of this world, such as a pure white hexagonal structure that looked like crystal flowers.
There are more buildings in this courtyard than in other courtyards. Three circular pavilions distributed in an arc are connected by a suspended passage made of dark blue ice. They are the first thing you see after entering through the glass door. These three round pavilions extend into the distance, and the end direction is the six-pointed star house that Rosa mentioned. The appearance does look like a standard six-pointed star. There are also shadows of buildings further away, but the fine snow in the sky makes it impossible to see the specific appearance.
There was no fighting here, so the beautiful scenery was unscathed. Unfortunately, the three people present were not in the mood to appreciate it at all. After observing the situation here for a while, they rushed to the six-pointed star's house together.
Getting a little closer, Lu Ning saw the footprints on the ground, which had been covered with snow, indicating that they had been there for some time and it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside. The size of this house is similar to the five-cornered conference hall in the Autumn Garden. There are two-story nested structures inside and outside. It may be more complicated here.
After Lu Ning thought for a moment, she turned on the door switch.
Sure enough, what you saw after opening the door was not a wide room, but a wall that surrounded it into a smaller space, covering exactly two corners.
This happened to be the weapons room that Rosa mentioned. There were various bludgeoning weapons scattered on the ground, including steel whips, hammers, maces, scepters, long sticks, etc. Lu Ning carefully collapsed from among the scattered weapons. Go through and go to the next door. If nothing else, behind this door is the interior of this building.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a young man with greasy short hair walked out of the door holding a candle. When he saw Lu Ning and the three of them, a look of panic appeared on their faces: "You! Don't come here!"
"Damn it! Chudley! Don't just light the candles for nothing!"
A man's roar rang out in the room. The young man's hand that was about to reach for the candle retracted again. He hurriedly turned around to run back into the house, and then the man's roar rang out again.
"Don't turn your back to the enemy! You idiot! Do you want to die in the hands of those damn moths? Even your meager accumulation will be robbed!?"
The young man apologized again and again. Lu Ning and Mao You looked at each other. Mao You whispered: "This doesn't look like a mercenary."
If there is such a stupid young man among those cold-blooded guys, he will definitely be used as a pathfinder, just like the two people before. Such careful teaching is simply impossible.
"Hey...let me see who it is...Chadley! Did you borrow your courage from a mouse?"
A red-haired young man with a little disheveled hair appeared at the door. He just glanced at Lu Ning and the others and continued to curse at the room. This kind of irritability made Mao You feel a bit friendly.
However, Lu Ning would not look down on this red-haired young man because of this. He was holding a ghost-headed sword that was obviously more ferocious than the weapons he received from the arsenal, and his clothes were stained with blood. If it weren't for that tone, , but it will make him look like a murderer.
"A little girl! A dwarf! An aunt! Such a person can scare you enough to light candles! You idiot! Those are three-star props! Do they look like mercenaries? And you!"
The young man turned his head suddenly and glared at Lu Ning.
"What's the purpose of running in quietly? Didn't the early warning facilities we set up work at all?"
"If you are talking about these things thrown on the ground, then I can only say that you may not have thrown enough." Lu Ning pointed to the weapons scattered on the ground.
"Who knew there was an upper limit on the weapons provided by this damn place?" Hongmao refused to admit that his early warning facility was too useless. He turned around and started to attack Dr. Rawls, "This battle royale is like shit. They don’t even have enough weapons? Don’t they like to see bloodshed? Can you die with something powerful? If you don’t give out two guns, just give them a grenade, right? Their mastermind lacks this stuff? So sooner or later No one is investing in this crappy experiment!”
"Okay, okay, aren't you a mercenary?"
Two more people appeared at the door, which made the narrow door slightly blocked, but the two new people who appeared made people's eyes brighten.
Both men and women have typical Western beauty faces. The man was tall and thin, holding a richly decorated ceremonial sword in one hand, and his silver hair was still meticulously combed. The woman was slender and beautiful. The two belts that passed through her waist were covered with black throwing knives. She leaned against the door frame and smiled politely at the three people outside.
These two people have a similar temperament to Lewanska, and Lu Ning feels that most of them are also from the pavilion.
"Three of you, we are destined to meet each other. Since I, Cheron County, do not come here with any ill intentions, I might as well spread a little warmth in this cold season." The silver-haired man raised a hand, and Lu Ning noticed that both of his hands were wearing Wearing white gloves, this man even changed into a flashy aristocratic dress, looking very concerned about his appearance.
"Lu, Mao You, Ping Na." Lu Ning briefly introduced the people around him, "We want to see the weapons and equipment provided here."
"It's not enough to just tell half of the story. You should have got the news about the mercenaries." The woman next to her chuckled and pursed her lips. "My name is Samuanna, and I am his fiancée. Please tell me. Maybe we can cooperate with you on your true purpose?”
"Pavilion..." Mao You hesitated and looked at the two of them.
"How do you see that I only said half of what I said?" Lu Ning was still more concerned about this issue.
"Although nothing can be seen from your expression, the eyes and expressions of your two companions still cannot hide the secret. Cheron County, I think we will have good teammates."
Samiana laughed happily.
