As soon as the girl turned around, she met Sandy's serious face with frowning and anger. He reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the room tonight and not come out? - Only hotel rooms are relatively safe. No one can break in if the resident invites you, this is the system setting."

"I just want to see who are the people who just arrived..." Qingkong also lowered the volume, and said softly, "I just intend to stand at the corner of the steps on the second floor and listen for a while. I promise, if I notice anything wrong, I will immediately Run back to your room, okay?"

Sandy sighed helplessly, and said, "Follow me closely." He walked to the corner of the stairs first, and squatted down...

At this time, a group of more than a dozen black-robed characters walked into the dining area of the Crossroads Hotel without causing any commotion. It seems that their hatred value in the Keen area has not reached the point where they will be hunted down by NPCs, and they The conversation between them immediately revealed that they were not the gang that slaughtered here during the day—

"It's so quiet!" A crisp boy's voice sounded from downstairs, perhaps because his position was closest to the stairs, and his voice was high-pitched, so the content of his words was clearly transmitted to the ears of the two eavesdropping upstairs, "There are no people at the Crossroads Hotel at night, coupled with the lightning and thunder outside, is it a place where a horror movie is filmed? Nick and Diana, how about we play the game of 'pretend to catch ghosts'?"

"Gary, don't make trouble. I just asked the hotel owner. He said that there was a massacre here at dusk earlier. In my opinion, this brutal style is either Cecilia's or Solons'. A masterpiece." A relatively calm male voice sounded immediately, "If these powerful characters have already come here, it means that our route is on the right track, so we must concentrate on finding the target before them, and before everyone else The goal has been achieved before, otherwise, wouldn’t this trip to Keene be in vain?—Let’s sit down and plan the next route and plan.”

"Nick, you are such an idiot with no sense of entertainment!" The boy called Gary yelled, and then, the sound indicated that these people were seated one after another, began to order meals, and continued to gossip—

"To be honest, in order to hunt down Leoria this time, and to snatch the letters on his body, King Ambrose gave an order—I think the whole of Furnace, and even the most powerful characters on the mainland of Manchester all ran away. Come to Keane to mop up, this battle is really unprecedented. It seems that the earlier rumors are somewhat true, Manchester and Keane are about to fight... right?" A female voice sounded, and she should be the Diana whom Gary greeted just now.

"Maybe, I'm not interested in those ghost politics at all!" Gary said impatiently, "If the prizes weren't so rich that I couldn't believe it, who would rush to this ghost place for 7 days?! Oops—the prize is the guardian Prophet Mulla's deputy weapon, the only deputy in the entire Brave Continent, the Phoenix Fire Gong, which is said to be an artifact that can summon a phoenix in flames!—Who can get this, it is estimated that it will be a short distance away. The man at the top of this world is not far away, maybe... he may not be able to become a god!" Gary became more excited as he spoke, his voice raised several degrees.

"Everyone thinks this way now, so how can this be such an easy task?...Of course, the one and only artifact in the world like Fenghuogong should be fought for with all our strength, but if someone gets ahead of you, you can only do it." I can admit it. It's not easy for us to visit Keen, after this mission is over, let's go to slay the dragon." Nick said.

"I'm here, I'm sure I'll have to work hard before I can go back. Not only will I have to slay the dragon, but I'll also go to every main city of Keen. If we really fight in the future, we must also be familiar with the terrain and know ourselves and our enemies. Only then can you win every battle!" Gary's mouth was full, but he still couldn't lower his childish tone.

"Let's not talk about the future, the most important thing is to focus on the current task - Nick, do you really believe that Leoria is near here?" Diana brought the topic back to the point.

"From the information I heard on the road in the past few days, it seems that the last time Leoria appeared was at Raven Blood Port in the southwest corner of the mainland of Manchester. There is only one route for ships from that dilapidated port to Keen. , is the mysterious route to the coast of the Eastern Territory and to the bottom of the Rainbow Valley. Although it was heard not long ago that the Zhanlong City located in the Green Dragon Mountains mysteriously disappeared and the road to the bottom of the Rainbow Valley was blocked, but everything happened recently , I always feel that there must be something involved... Anyway, haven't we already been to the birthplace of the death knight before we set off, and have you located Leoria's position through the phantom of the Nether Lord? ——"Seven days later, the Crossroads Inn 'It's an oracle given by the system, so there must be no mistakes." Nick slowly said his reasoning, then he paused for a few seconds, and made another guess, "This mission is so dynamic, if If I'm not wrong, these should already belong to the main line of the world's plot... "

-

"World plot?" Hearing the news from downstairs, Qingkong couldn't help muttering. She still remembered the information that Nolan had relayed to Baron before entering this world, and the most memorable thing in her memory was the speculation about escaping from this world—by clearing the world plot, everyone trapped in the game would be released together.

[So Leoria is a key to the world plot, and should also be a system character? ]

Qing Kong guessed, but still couldn't help asking Sandy who was squatting beside him: "Sandy, do you know what Leoria is?"

"Sounds like a character with important letters on him, currently being wanted by the people of Manchester," Sandy concluded.

-

At this time, there was another sound of wooden doors being pushed and pulled downstairs, and it sounded that many new guests had entered. The noisy voice fell into a brief silence. Sandy and Qingkong could imagine the cautious scrutiny of the many Manchester people, and then a neutral male voice suddenly sounded—

"I heard that many thugs from Manchester came here to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Do you mean you guys who don't know what to do?!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of friction between weapons and armor, and the sound of guns being loaded, the tense atmosphere permeated the entire hotel almost instantly.

"You guys from Keene speak really badly. Who are you calling a thug?!" The silence still needed to be broken, and Gary couldn't bear to yell back.

"Of course I mean you uncultivated Manchester people, a bunch of trash players from the Brave Continent! The massacre at the crossroads station has been spread by NPCs at many outposts, and waves of Keen players are Gather and rush over to support, I want to see what tricks you can come up with?!" The neutral male voice showed no intention of backing down, and the smell of gunpowder in his tone became more intense.

"Hey, hey, don't be so angry in this rainy day. Now we are standing in the station hotel. If you want to fight or kill, we will naturally accompany you. As long as you give priority to attack, there is nothing we dare not." Before the impulsiveness, Nick's slightly steady voice sounded. His reminder of the status quo is very effective. The side that takes the first action in the safe area will be interfered by the NPC, and the regional hatred value will increase inexplicably. No matter how you look at it, it will be a disadvantage.

As soon as these words came out, the two sides fell into a stalemate. Everyone cursed and fought, but no one took the initiative to fight.

At this time, the thunderstorm had already been falling for half the night, but it showed no signs of stopping. Instead, the sound of raindrops pattering became louder and louder, and the frequency of thunder became stronger and stronger, mixed with the quarrels between the two sides downstairs. It was disturbing, but it did not block the sound of another group of people coming from outside the door.

-

Accompanied by a burst of lightning and thunder, the door of the hotel was slammed open. The newcomer was so imposing that the characters who were constantly arguing fell into silence. When there were none, screams, collisions, and "swish" sounds of spell activation suddenly sounded downstairs.

Sandy and Clear Sky glanced at each other unconsciously.

Sandy frowned tightly, took Qingkong's arm, dragged her to the door of the room, and ordered: "Qingkong, go back to the room quickly, and don't come out without my prompt."

"What about you?" Qing Kong couldn't help shaking his wrist back, "The situation below is dangerous, why don't you avoid it?"

"Don't forget that I still have a wanted mission of Saurons on me, I have to go down to find out what's going on and find clues." Sandy let go of Qingkong's arm and comforted, "I'm already a level 76 character. It's more powerful than you imagined, don't worry."

After speaking, Sandy drew out his sharp sword, ready to fight, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Qingkong opened the door of the room with full of fear in her heart, but stood at the door struggling to hide like a turtle. Of course she knew that she was of low rank and was of little use now. Going downstairs would be like sending her to death... However, leaving her companions behind was really not in line with her style of life and work.

After standing at the door and struggling for ten seconds, she finally decided to at least go to the stairs to see what happened before deciding whether to intervene. After closing the door of the room, she turned around and was about to walk towards the stairs when a male voice came from behind—

"Hey girl, wait, can you do me a favor?"

-

Qingkong turned his head in response, and saw a warrior character with white hair and orange eyes standing a little deeper in the corridor. The red and black lining was matched with the original steel-colored armor. The golden lion head pattern on the shoulder armor was very eye-catching. The snow-colored short hair was shining brightly against the black-feathered cloak, and the huge sword on the back revealed a lion-claw-shaped hilt and a raw steel-colored cold blade.

During the speech, he had already walked towards the clear sky, and introduced himself bluntly: "My name is Leoria."
