"Boss, that person is missing again!"
"Hey, did you lose me...?"
At the same moment, in the deserted neighborhood south of the Vixis Tavern, Lu Bench stood between the abandoned old houses, looked at the deserted streets, and waved away the younger brother who ran back to him: "I thought that from now on... The person who stole the key under my nose would be some kind of hero, but he turned out to be just a coward who dared not show his face..."
He suddenly stopped what he was saying, and his eyes began to turn following a certain black beam of light rising into the sky. After a while, the exclamation coming from that direction confirmed the location of the beam: "There is …”
"Boss! Boss!" Deep in the alley at the end of the field of vision, another player with the emblem of the East City Club engraved on him ran over out of breath: "It's not good! Our tavern..."
"Could it be that……"
A huge shaking sound echoed around the deserted block as Lu Bench suddenly stomped on the ground. At the same time, there were cracks on the ground that continued to extend outwards. However, before the cracks disappeared in front of all the players, The strong man appeared outside the tavern, and another beam of light rising into the sky once again attracted his attention. One, two, three... As the line of sight widened, more and more unknown beams of the same light began to break through. The shackles of the city gradually merged behind the cloud-shrouded night sky, and then converged and transformed in the sky that no one could see, forming a huge barrier that could cover the entire city. The invisible energy surface followed the light beam. It decomposed and began to change, gradually dividing into black gas shrouded in pale white fluorescence. They gradually increased in the flood of light beams, like black clouds held by white eggshells. If they were not still shining in other directions, With that layer of crystal clear white background, many players are still unable to tell the difference between the sky at this time and the cloudy sky before, because the light pillars rising from the city are like supporting the spherical sky. The pillars gradually darkened their respective airspaces. However, before they could react to what happened, the magic curtain supported by the light pillars changed again, and then appeared in the energy shield one by one. The white star points inside the cover embellish the dense curtain under the support of each light pillar.
"What's this?"
"Big city magic? Are those stars magic stones?"
"When did the City of Liberty hide such a spectacular design..."
"Look, look...are there any patterns in those stars?"
"This should be Leo."
Duan Qing, who was also looking up at the artificial magic sky, took a deep breath, and then looked at Xu Yuliu Shang next to him: "The constellations of the zodiac... huh, the numbers are quite consistent."
"In other words... Huskar represents a lion?" Xuyu responded with a smile: "It is also consistent with his image."
"Although I don't know how they did it, I'm afraid the magic circle here has been activated."
Looking at the silver-black light pillar that was still rising upward on the other side of the canal, Duan Qing's voice became serious: "And..."
"And there are more." Xu Yu Liushang crossed his arms and looked around: "That direction over there...is the Shadow Mage Gardevoir you mentioned, right?"
"She represents Virgo."
The distant roar once again broke everyone's sluggishness. As a new beam of light rose in the distance, it spread to every corner of the Free City. Some scattered players in the north of the city also realized the seriousness of the matter. They each put down their opponents and rushed in that direction: "Over there!"
"That is……"
"Scorpio...Edouin."
Outside the Chias Tavern, Jack, the president of Borderlands, looked up at the sky with his arms folded, and showed a bewildered expression: "It's so beautiful, it fits the temperament of our boss..."
"President." Shadow Fang, who was also hiding aside, said cautiously: "We just don't resist and let them complete the ceremony... Is it really okay?"
"Completing the ritual is only the first step for the Restoration. That Oxen... must have a bigger conspiracy inside."
Waving his hand casually, the handsome young president showed a sinister smile again: "Since it is so difficult to resist..."
"Then it's better to just let nature take its course and look for the last opportunity."
He turned back and looked towards the rich area where a beam of light also rose. There, Yan Dong, who had just completed the tasks assigned by the restorers, walked out of one of the luxurious mansions and clapped his hands lightly: " How's the search going?"
"Report to the military advisor, there is nothing of value." One of the Wings of Freedom players standing by hurriedly stepped forward: "They are all collectibles and luxury goods. They may be exchanged for a lot of gold coins, but valuable weapons And armor..."
"……whispering sound."
Nodding lightly, the man in white robe once again held the magic book on his waist in his hands, and then murmured, turning around and looking up at the magical sky just around the corner: "You don't even have a piece of legendary equipment?" None? Cancer Tielin..."
boom!
A distant and loud sound once again sounded from behind Yan Dong, but it was not the sound caused by another burst of magic light beam. Yan Dong, who knew the source of the sound well, secretly shook his head. Turning around and looking in that direction, a figure with half a box of cigarettes wielding a big sword was rushing back and forth in the distance, fighting with another swordsman covered in a black cloak, and the swordsman was located Behind, a maid covered in blood was panting and kneeling by the wall of another mansion: "...We'd better retreat quickly, Mr. Jian Beidong."
"……Do not worry about me."
The sword edge drew gorgeous tracks in the air. Jian Beidong, who was wearing a cloak, once again forced back the opponent in front of him. His calm and tall figure then moved in front of Dark Language Ninglan, blocking her figure. Out of sight of others: "If you feel there is no hope... you can leave first."
"Ninglan's life is nothing. If you die, you can return to the city." Sitting on the ground, Ningyu Ninglan was still covering her injured shoulder, but the smile on her face still did not fade away: "Compared to this... Let’s retreat quickly. Wings of Freedom has brought so many pirates, and they have accomplished their goals. If we don’t leave..."
"They have their goals and I have mine."
Lifting his sword, he slashed out an awe-inspiring sword energy. The swordsman known as Jian Beidong smiled in front of the half-box of cigarettes that came at him again: "Besides..."
"Even if you lose your weapon and someone dares to hurt you...how could I let him go so easily?"
A new collision of sword energy once again appeared between the mansions in the northeast of the city, and was later covered up by the explosion of a new light beam on the other side of the city. Under the burst of energy, Liangchen looked calm. Meiyu walked out of the Rust Tavern: "It took so long to clean up a few tavern owners... It seems that I still underestimated the strength of the Free City."
"Boss, you are already very powerful if you can defeat the combined efforts of several tavern owners." The Wings of Freedom boy on the side hurriedly complimented: "Any one of them alone can't defeat us."
"Okay, let's save the bragging for after this is over."
Looking back at the star formation of two intertwined fishes gradually forming in the sky, Liangchen Meiyu sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that this is Fenya's territory. That guy who is neither male nor female... and Is there any connection between the savages?"
"That Rust has the blood of a barbarian at first glance!" The boy next to him hurriedly complimented: "That disgusting image must have been deliberately dressed up to hide his strength..."
"Although I wanted to put this easier to deal with last, but forget it."
Putting away his weapons, Liangchen Meiyu withdrew his gaze at the same time, and then while directing the people around him to cooperate with the follow-up actions of the restorers, he took out the map in the adventurer's manual: "Even the existing NPCs in the Free City Those who know about it, those players who usually only know about fighting, will definitely not know what is happening now, so there is still a lot of free time before we complete the last step... Well, is the next place here?"
"Based on the distribution of these light beams, the next place is probably here."
At the same moment, Duan Qing, who was sitting next to the hole opposite the Vixis Tavern, pointed at the same map: "The plan has changed. We can't delay it any longer. You go and inform others. I'll go to this place to take a look." look……"
"No, you go notify the others, I will go and guard this place first." Duan Qing was interrupted by whispers on the side: "Your current mental state is not suitable for fighting, you need to rest now."
"This has nothing to do with fatigue, only the question of suitability." Duan Qing said calmly: "Although I have been walking around the city for several days, I am still not familiar with the environment of the entire Free City. If I want to do it in a short time To find all the allies within the time, it is more suitable for you, a person who is more familiar with the city, and the appearance of these light pillars must contain many bigger secrets. If we don’t find a certain place to observe for ourselves, we will not be able to find a way to deal with the Orcs. Sen’s secret."
"Believe me, I will be fine." After looking at Xu Yu Liushang for a long time, Duan Qing said in a serious voice: "I won't force myself just to hold on there, because even if things get to the worst... we can't It’s not that there are no other opportunities.”
"……All right."
Nodding deeply, Xu Yu Liushang stood up neatly, and then ran out along the riverside avenue in a pillar of light that rose again in the direction of the pier: "No matter what the final result is... remember to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find it. us."
"no problem."
Looking towards the direction of the city lord's palace, which was also rising in the sky, Duan Qing took a deep breath, endured the pain all over his body, and disappeared into the increasingly chaotic streets again. He was originally under siege. The men in black in the Vixis Tavern are gradually dispersing with the burst of light beams. It seems that they have turned their attack focus to other places, and the players who were abandoned on the spot have also recovered from the spectacle in front of them. He was stunned and asked the temporary teammate next to him with a face full of surprise: "What are these?"
"You ask me, I ask who to go to..."
"This must be the secret weapon of the City of Freedom! The city owner has activated the ultimate weapon to deal with these invaders!"
"How is it possible? I didn't feel any killing feeling... Why don't you jump into this light pillar and give it a try?"
"Holy shit why don't you jump!"
"Because I'm not as stupid as you..."
"What did you say? You want to fight, don't you?"
"Just fight, I haven't had enough of it just now!"
"These light pillars..."
Ignoring the idle players who were still making noises because they were confused, Lu Bench, who was standing on the nearby roof, looked at the ruined tavern, and then looked towards the south of the city in the direction Duan Qing left. : "It should be distributed around the city center, right?"
"Brother Qingshan seems to have said the same thing before." Liu Qingniu, who ran back from the side, whispered: "It seems to be some kind of magic circle or something..."
"Really?" Lu Benchi turned to look at Liu Qingniu, and then looked into the distance again: "That direction...is Stark's territory, right?"
"If things are really as Brother Qingshan said, there are not many places to go now." Liu Qingniu replied in a low voice: "Apart from Stark, the only ones left are Reiner who doesn't know where he is, and Te... Those two guys, Ristan and Rondall, who have no power to fight back..."
"The key in my hand was given to me by Vixis. He is a direct subordinate of the Shadow Society, so even if they are the holders of the throne, they may not have the means to open the magic circle." Lu Benchi slowly closed the door. Eyes: "Furthermore, the Rondal family and the Tristan family were deprived of their thrones before, so the keys in their hands should have been taken away, so those two keys... are most likely in the hands of the city lord."
"But the city lord was also captured by Oxen before!" Liu Qingniu said hurriedly: "I heard from Brother Qingshan that there was an accident at the arena and the duel was interrupted..."
"……is that so?"
With a smile on his lips, Lu Bench remained silent for a while, his eyes also moved among the uneven roofs above the city, and finally stopped at a place near the center of the city lord's palace: "That's... easy to handle. "
"Boss? Boss!"
Looking at the president who suddenly jumped down, several Dongcheng guild players who had been waiting nearby shouted hurriedly: "Where are you going, boss? We..."
"You don't have to follow me. Just stick to the original plan."
The voice belonging to Lu Bench echoed in their ears, and then gradually disappeared as the burly figure pulled away: "We are being treated like monkeys..."
"Your boss will repay it for you."
