Unlike Redcar's bustling nights, Tania's nights are always filled with tranquility and dullness. This is not only because of the martial law that has been implemented in the city during this period, but also because of the hundreds of years of history in this main city. The historical legacy and living habits of the past - ever since the city of Tania was located in this place, the people here seem to have been living in a state of vigilance and uneasiness, whether it is threats from outside the city or threats from various forces within the city. The strife prevented them from enjoying a long period of peace here and enjoying the ordinary life that city people should have. Tianlai NovelWw『W. ⒉Since no big family can survive in such an environment for a long time, things like going out at night are naturally not suitable to appear in the lives of civilians. Every corner of the city has been shrouded in darkness, because at this moment, it is not only the time of day. The best time to be discovered is also the perfect time to deal with problems that are difficult to bring to the table.
Ordinary people would never like to be involved in such a thing.
The streets of Tanya were extremely quiet as it entered the night. Even the sound of the wind was hard to hear. Only the magic lights flashed from time to time, bringing a bit of light to the area in their own way. However, even so, there are still people passing by on the streets here. That is because they cannot truly die, and thus they have become the boldest players in the world. In addition to the fear of being rejected by the world and being unable to restrain themselves, they may not be afraid of any other way to threaten themselves. Even in the confrontation between the two countries, they are the most suitable mercenaries to go through life and death, let alone in such a situation. In the middle of the night, I walked on this night road. They were in groups of twos and threes, men and women together. Some were shaking their heads as if they were drunk, and some were holding hands as if they had just finished enjoying themselves. While enjoying the infinite fun brought by this game world, they quietly Silently, they have brought slight changes to the atmosphere of this city that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It seems that the disturbingly quiet streets of this city and the turmoil that has been going on for a long time are nothing to them. The only things that deserve their attention may be some city guards who are looking at them with vigilant eyes, and the adventurers who are still wandering around outside so late at night.
The people who are still wandering around the city at this time are either idle players who have gone too far, or some speculators with ill intentions who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.
"Hey, if I hadn't happened to encounter the Sword of Justice..."
He threw down the wine bottle in his hand bitterly. A player carrying a large shield spit out the breath of alcohol bitterly, then turned around and shouted loudly at the teammates who were behind him, not caring at all that they were also They looked too drunk to walk, and the gazes of several guards nearby were patrolling them. He stayed there and waited for a while, and finally took a few steps back impatiently. Then on the almost deserted night road, he slapped the bodies of several other teammates who were wandering around: "Let's go, let's go." We still have to go to the game..."
"Come on, Babao-kun, why are you going to watch the game?" A teammate who sat on the ground shook his head and said, "It just makes me sad..."
"That's right, instead of wasting time on those things, it's better to do something else." Another teammate lying in the corner held up his hands, and the tongue that had been numbed by alcohol seemed to be a little unable to straighten. He said: "It just so happens... I still have a mission for the ruins of Eta. Why don't we just go... clean up and go over there."
"I agree!" Before the big shield player could answer, a player's voice shouted at the top of his lungs on the ground behind them: "Let's... let's go out now!"
"Stop, stop making trouble, aren't you looking for death if you go out of the city now?" The teammate who was the first to answer laughed: "Tanya looks like this, she can't go out at night..."
"Then, then tomorrow!" The player lying on the ground panting in the distance shouted: "Let's leave early in the morning and never stay in this place again..."
"Okay, this is what you said!"
"What's wrong with what I said...? Didn't I keep my word?"
"Hey, you still dare to mention this. Last time, you agreed to give me back the two-handed sword for fun...what now?"
"It was taken away by the bird..."
"What did you say!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The big shield warrior standing swaying at the front hurriedly raised his hands to stop the endless argument that his companions were about to start: "If we argue again, we really can't go back. It doesn't matter if you don't want to watch the game, but life has to pass. Go down, we have hundreds of brothers in the imperial city, how can we just change places..."
"Hey, if you don't want to come with us... just get out of here!" The player lying in the corner pointed towards the night sky: "I don't usually train well, nor participate in activities. In the end, I didn't even drink together. Come on, what do we need these members for..."
"Then you can't blame them. We agreed on a celebration drink, but ended up drinking it on the first day... I wouldn't come if you wanted me to." The person sitting next to him tugged at the corner of his mouth bitterly, and then lay down on the ground. On the cold ground: "But... this is not bad. It can just eliminate those members who are not cohesive. Aren't the remaining members all hardcore members? In the normal history of guild exhibitions, they are all Such a routine, right? Maybe we can become a first-class guild like in those novels..."
"So... you also agree to move to Eta County?" The big shield warrior standing at the front with his back to the street shook his head, but he was slightly sober from the wine: "Is this time?"
"Actually, I was opposed to it at the beginning."
A player who looked like a mage who didn't seem to be drinking and who was guarding the back of the team slowly walked forward. He first glanced at the figures of several staggering players around him, and then said calmly: "But the current situation, go The east side is not a bad thing, at least we can avoid the threat of the empire, if the principality really..."
He looked at the patrolling guards not far away who were staring at the few people on his side, and swallowed back what he originally wanted to say: "In short, don't look at it as prosperous as Tania, our exhibition space over there... …It’s definitely bigger than here.”
"Who allowed us to encounter the Sword of Justice in the first round?"
Sighing helplessly, the Shield player gestured towards the opponent, then walked to his fallen teammates in two steps, and lifted them up with force: "The individual competition has no results as always, and the team competition that was originally expected has also failed. Without a reputation, there is no hope of competing with a big guild like Sword of Justice... Let's go, get up quickly! Old mage, go and take that one away..."
"I only have six points of strength. Don't blame me if you can't stand it..."
"Then just drag them away. There aren't many people on the street anyway. If you can't trample them to death, you won't be afraid of embarrassment..."
After passing the sight of several guards and turning two blocks away, several Imperial City players were walking on the streets at night as if there was no one around, as if they were really planning to find a place to rest and settle their companions. Babaojun, who had two players on his left and right, dragged his companion while continuing to chat wordlessly with the mage player behind who was not drinking. The topics related to the game gradually dropped and started to The possibility of relocating the guild has been seriously studied. Once again, a heavy figure stretched in front of them. Several people once again passed through an intersection illuminated by street lights. Then, amidst the sudden doubts from the big shield player, they all stopped. Pace: "Huh?"
"It's not a problem to save the equipment and property. The worst thing is to sell them for gold coins and then buy them in Eta County where prices are lower. The key is our personnel...what's wrong?"
Amidst the inquiries from the mage player, the two-person shield player slowly put down his companions and looked at the black figure who seemed to be a certain player standing at the door of a certain building. A bright white light came out from the door of the building facing the black figure, illuminating the backs of the two guards guarding the door. However, perhaps due to the angle, the Shield player could not see those two people clearly. The expression on their face, and the appearance of the player who seemed to be confronting them. In the tall body and elongated shadow, the man standing with arms folded stood motionless, as if waiting for something. However, seeing the arrival of several of them, the figure carrying a long knife turned around. He glanced at the situation here, then suddenly disappeared in front of them.
"Huh?" The mage player behind wiped his eyes, and then looked at the two guards who were still motionless: "There was... someone there just now, right?"
"……yes."
The drunkenness in his mind completely disappeared. The Shield player hurriedly threw the mud-like bodies of his two companions to the side, and touched his weapon with his right hand. However, after a moment, nothing happened around the quiet street. It wasn't until the mage player named Old Mage slowly approached that he slightly let go of his hunched-over vigilance posture: "What's wrong with you, so nervous?"
"Nothing." The Shield player patted himself on the shoulder: "I thought I was being robbed..."
"Robbery? In the city?" The mage player screamed: "How is it possible? That guy just now is a player, right? Last time, the people from the so-and-so guild were expelled from the Adventurer Association. Isn't it enough? There are still people who dare to To do something like this..."
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding." The man with the big shield shook his head and stood up straight: "Although I didn't see that person's name and appearance clearly, but..."
He turned around and looked over the mage player's shoulder to the intersection he just passed behind: "In this tense situation, no one should..."
He closed his mouth, and then, together with the mage player, watched several players who also stumbled appeared from the other side of the intersection, and then followed the direction in which they came, amidst the same drunken sounds and shouts. Went back. They seemed to be relieved at the same time, and the two of them nodded together. The old mage looked at the scene around the intersection again, and breathed out a comforting breath: "It's okay, it's okay, there are Jianghu and the Sword of Justice. Tania should be relatively stable, and the players are not stupid. There are so many guards around here watching..."
The words suddenly disappeared from his mouth, accompanied by the suddenly startled look in his companion's eyes: "You said that..."
"Why aren't there any guards around here?"
Bang!
A huge muffled sound suddenly sounded behind them. The two of them subconsciously set up their weapons and staffs at the same time. They moved skillfully one after another to block the front of their fallen companion at the intersection, and then looked at Looking at the door of the building with bright lights not far away, the two guards who had been awakened took out their spears and ran towards the door. Ruoyouruowu's fighting sound came from a certain direction on the third floor of the building, and the two players standing here could still hear it from that direction and from the shining white door. shouts from the crowd inside.
"It's a killer!"
"Stop him quickly!"
"No. 1 and No. 2, guard the door! Don't..."
"There is another assassin! He ran away from the roof!"
"He went to the second floor, where are the people from the second team!"
"No, we lost track..."
One after another loud shouts and chaotic footsteps echoed around the building, like a piece of music played randomly by a three-year-old child, ringing in the ears of the two people, making the two people's doubts become more intense at the same time. , also completely broke the tranquility of the entire intersection, making this area completely lively. After looking at each other for a while, the big shield player named Babaojun and the mage player slowly backed away, and then kicked their companions a few times when they passed by: "Something happened, something happened, get up quickly...Old mage, here They water the kettle.”
"...Won't it cause misunderstanding?"
"... Damn it, get up!" Giving up the idea of asking his teammates to use magic, the man with the big shield was alert to nearby movements. His patrolling eyes circled around the boiling building, and then suddenly stopped in the corner. In the shadows, there was the dark figure who was carrying a big knife.
"This is not the one just now..."
Bang!
Another huge muffled sound appeared inside the building, but as the sound sounded this time, all the white lights that were scattered around and even emitted from the door were extinguished, bringing the entire building into a state of confusion. It was still dark outside: "What's going on!"
"Where's the backup light source? Start it now!"
"Pay attention to your position! Don't leave your position!"
"I saw him! He returned to the third floor! You..."
"ah--!"
As several screams rang out, the old mage's face turned paler. He pulled on the shield player's armor and asked cautiously: "What, what should we do? Should we... or..."
He shook his companion's body again, and then followed the other person's staring gaze and looked in the direction he was looking at - in the dark night, the black figure with the sign of a broadsword walked towards the place in three or two steps. The corner of the dark building, and then suddenly jumped to the side window, like a civet cat, he climbed to the top of the building in a few clicks. Seemingly unafraid of the staggering height, the black figure leaned against the window and listened for a while, then clapped his hands, smashed the two wooden fences beside the window, and jumped into the building.
"It seems that something big has happened." Mr. Babao's eyes cleared, and he exchanged a look with his fellow mage. Then, while looking around at the surrounding activities, he walked to the side of the building with a catwalk: " It seems to be a hospital... Let’s go.”
"Since some players have joined in, let's go in and take a look."
