"Wow ah ah ah! Ah, ah..."
On March 26, 796 in the New Calendar, in the tavern of the small town of Koruk, a rapid gasp suddenly sounded in the accommodation room where the player was reborn after death. At the same time, a thief player appeared with his eyes wide open. His eyes looked around in panic. There are still several players in the simple respawn point room who have never left this place after being resurrected. At this time, they are looking at the figure of the little thief with surprised eyes. After recognizing this place, he then gasped quickly and left. My mood calmed down, and there was a bit of disappointment in my originally frightened eyes: "Haah, haah, ha..."
"Hahahaha... So I've already died?"
Exhaling with a wry smile, he jumped off the wooden bed where he was, then ignored the secret pointings of several players around him, pushed the door open and walked into the tavern hall outside. The sight of countless players clamoring in the tavern became more and more lively as time went by. From time to time, there were also scenes of a large number of players talking about adventure missions or trading loot with each other. He became even more disappointed and then quickly He walked through the crowd in front of him step by step, and walked towards the slowly darkening sunset outside the tavern: "It really doesn't work. Not only is he not strong enough, but he is also timid..."
"Oh, let's find some simple tasks to complete."
"Hey, aren't these Gyro Brothers?"
A lazy voice then appeared behind the little thief's head, and at the same time, several players sitting near the door of the tavern turned their heads sideways: "Why are you back so soon? You Didn't you take that beautiful elder sister out to have sex with you?"
"No, don't say such words casually!" The top boy's expression suddenly became much more excited: "I...we...how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!"
"Yo yo yo, I didn't expect to be a scholar." The leading player smiled even more exaggeratedly: "Did I say something wrong? When I saw you pulling that woman away before, the smile on your face almost flew away. He went to heaven... Could it be that he couldn't satisfy others and was wiped on his neck with a sword?"
"That kind of strong woman can't be satisfied by just any man! I guess the last sword was not cut on the neck, but on the third leg! Hahahahaha! "
"……shut up!"
A loud muffled sound then appeared on the ground next to the wine table. It was the sound made when the top boy rushed up angrily and came into face-to-face contact with a shield. He was dizzy due to the excessive speed. The dazzled thief was then kicked back to the ground by the player behind the shield, adding a few more noises to the noise in the tavern: "Oh, have you become brave after going out?"
"Do you really think that because you are dating a rich woman, we won't dare to mess with you?"
"We haven't settled the accounts with you for taking away our business before, and now you want to jump on us?"
"Come on, brothers, the drinking entertainment has been served. Let's show this little thief... How about the power of our strong wind adventure group?"
The chaotic footsteps followed the shouting figures of several people next to the wine table and slowly approached the direction of the door. The thief who was still lying on the ground and did not get up gradually surrounded the thief who was standing at the front of the encirclement. The burly shield warrior then chopped his heavy shield in front of the thief, pointing at the opponent's toes retreating against the ground and laughing continuously. The players who were coming in and out of this tavern also stopped in place as the sounds of beatings and screams gradually came from the encirclement, and together with the drinkers who were still eating and drinking in the tavern, they acted as spectators to watch the excitement. And it wasn't until the thief who was outnumbered by one finally started to show signs of exhaustion that a man who seemed to want to dissuade the beating gradually emerged from the crowd of onlookers: "I said... that's pretty much it, right? "
"Let you rob our business, let you rob our women...who are you? What do you do?"
"I am one of his temporary companions."
Bowing slightly, the person who stepped forward to dissuade me said in a calm voice: "I hope that for my sake, you will temporarily stop this bullying behavior."
"Companion? Ha."
Looking at the other party sideways, the leader of the Strong Wind Adventure Group, who seemed a little unbelievable, turned back the fist he was about to swing: "This little thief who can't be beaten by anyone actually has a companion?"
"His strength is indeed not that great, but he and I have had some friendship in the past period of time." The man holding the luggage on his chest raised his head again: "So... I can't just watch him suffer like this. Bullying, right?”
"I admire your benevolence and righteousness." The leader, who looked at the other party for a while, showed a disdainful smile: "Of course...and your courage."
"I know this is a bit overestimating your capabilities, but... I still advise you not to take action at will."
Calmly looking around at the members of the strong wind adventure group who were gradually surrounding the thief, the player named Salty Fish King shook his head: "Otherwise...the consequences may be disastrous."
"What? You want to challenge five to one?" The burly shield warrior raised his eyebrows: "Why, my God of Rain is also a person who has seen the big scenes in Zaraha City. I have even met people like Mo Shang Qingshan. Why do people like you, who have never heard of it, pretend to be in front of me?"
"Moshang Qingshan..."
In the light and shadow where several swords slowly stood up, the player named Salty Fish King sighed and repeated the name: "That dead man... I have seen it before."
"...Have you seen it before? Young XX is scaring people." The player who claimed to be the God of Rain sneered: "Have you seen that battle a few months ago? That was a sword that pacified all dimensions. The beast, the man of god who cut the Black Tower of the Void in half with one knife! The only people who can stand on the same stage with him are the top guild players and the professional players who have been famous in the league for a long time..."
"It seems to me that you are not a top player or a professional player...Aren't you saying that a slap in the face?" The Salted Fish King calmly sneered: "And he didn't defeat all the dimensional beasts with one sword. The black beast tide that surged into the Sky City was finally eliminated by Wizard and the members of the Mages Council..."
"Are you serious?" Then the players who had just raised their swords all looked suspicious: "How do you know this? What on earth are you...?"
"I have some friendship with Zangtian, the boss of the Tiechao Gang."
Without answering the other party's question directly, the Salted Fish King turned sideways and hid his expression where the players could not see: "He and his paparazzi... should be the nearest big gang from here. Bar?"
"Uh, this, this..."
"What, never heard of it?"
Feeling the atmosphere gradually quieting down in this direction of the tavern, the Salted Fish King walked around these people and leaned over to help the top boy who fell to the ground: "Forget it, you guys don't look like them anyway. What kind of guy is he who has seen the world? I’ll just treat those words you heard from the Internet as rumors..."
"Say hello to Zangtian for me." He picked up one of the little thief's arms, and then together with the figure dragging him out of the tavern door, they disappeared from the sight of countless projections: "If …”
"If you can actually see him."
The sound of the swaying creaking door then became the last message King Salted Fish left for this tavern, along with the buzzing buzz around him on this side of the small town of Crook, ignoring those The Salted Fish King, who looked at each other in disbelief at what the Strong Wind Adventure Group would do next, then took the body of the newly resurrected but dying Gyro Boy to the carriage station near the southwest of the small town of Koruk: "...are you still alive? ?”
"you you……"
Trying hard to stand up with his own strength, the little thief asked in a difficult voice: "Are you really a very... powerful person? And that person named Zangtian..."
"Oh, please don't believe every word I say to them, because I just lied to them." The Salted Fish King, who was still looking ahead, said without changing his expression: "After all, I am just an ordinary thief. I can't beat those five vicious guys on my own."
"Then, then..."
“Sometimes it’s better to solve a problem with your mouth than with your hands.”
Waved to the NPC who managed the carriage station, the player named Salted Fish King helped his fellow thieves get into an empty carriage: "With my style in the past period, with this This way of solving problems is more suitable for me.”
"Then, why did you show up again...how did you come back?"
"Of course he came back from the dead."
After speaking this answer nonchalantly, the Salted Fish King, who also boarded the carriage, turned his attention to the north of the village: "It's a pity for those strange ruins and the legendary NPC. There was still a chance to go in with them..."
"...What happened?" The top boy who was placed in the corner of the carriage asked doubtfully: "Who killed you? What happened after I died?"
"...No, it's nothing."
Withdrawing his gaze, Xianyu Dynasty waved his hand in front of the carriage with only two people riding in it: "It's better not to get involved in some things, the same reason..."
"If you don't know something, it might be better for your life."
"So, where are we going now?"
"Of course Red Carr."
Amidst the creaking sound of the carriage slowly starting up, the Salted Fish King turned around with a smile: "You can't survive in this place anymore, right? I happen to have a mission to go to the capital of the empire, so... we might as well go together. ”
"I, my level and strength are not as high as yours." The top boy hesitated for a while and replied in a low voice: "Is this okay? Wouldn't it hold you back or something..."
"Have you forgotten what those two people told you before?" He shook his head helplessly, and then the Salted Fish King showed a confident smile: "Besides... my mission this time is just to communicate with the empire that was on that mission It’s related to the prince, so he probably won’t be involved in fighting or anything like that.”
"An imperial prince on a mission?"
"Don't you know about this? This is considered a big news in the free world. Because of the Magic Empire, the Frey Empire wants to fight against Erni who has been bullying them for hundreds of years. The Principality of Feia has established formal peaceful diplomatic relations..."
"For...the enemy we are fighting together? But didn't I hear that..."
"The collapse of the Black Tower of the Void is just a failure to enter the real world. Its body is still somewhere in another world."
Explaining in a low voice a secret that few players in the continent knew, the Salted Fish King turned around and sat on the opposite side of the carriage: "In order to guard against the threat of the increasingly excessive Magic Empire, Zaraha City has suffered a lot of defeats. Emperor Drenir also decided to put aside his prejudices and temporarily discuss how to resolve this crisis..."
"His Royal Highness is the envoy sent by the empire this time, and I... also went for this matter." He blinked his eyes when he said this: "Don't tell others casually, teammate."
"I, I won't, I won't."
He waved his hand in a panic and pulled the top boy with bruises on his body. Then he grinned and shouted: "But, but I... won't I get in the way?"
"If you are willing, it shouldn't be a big deal if you just follow me." The Salted Fish King retracted his leaning action with a nonchalant expression: "In comparison... what other more suitable tasks do you have? I remember you once Did you mention that you also have a guild?"
"That...that's the guild I joined when I was in Novice Village." The little thief lying on the seat replied with a stern look on his face: "At that time, I was just dragged in by them shouting randomly on the roadside. That’s all, it’s been a long time since now…”
"That is also an organization." The Salted Fish King said disapprovingly: "Think about it, if there were dozens of brothers behind you doing missions and dungeons together every day, what happened today wouldn't have happened, right? What's more, they A recruitment order was also issued to you... By the way, where is it from?"
"Yes, it's in The Tbilisi Castle." The top boy replied hesitantly: "It's in the southwest of Redkar, exactly opposite our location... You want to go there too? That's a big deal I’ve walked a lot of wrong roads.”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you have a good place to go, it doesn't matter if you delay a little. I heard that The Thebilis Castle is the most famous weapons depot in the empire, and I have wanted to visit it for a long time!"
"But...but..."
"There is nothing but, we are all teammates, right... What is that look in your eyes? Are you worried about how we will get there? Don't worry, just leave it to me to solve it!"
The sound of chest slapping then sounded in the center of the carriage, and at the same time there was the scream of a young boy who was hit on the bruised shoulder. The rickety carriage then made such a sound. It turned a corner and slowly disappeared into the southwest of the wasteland where the sunset was about to set.
