The man in black raised his eyebrows helplessly, took out a jade tablet with a lion pattern carved with mane like fire from his pocket, showed it in front of Zuo Ci for two seconds, then suppressed his anger and began to explain: "Then, Take this opportunity to listen to me—I represent the largest guild in Manchester, the Sarleon Guild, and I am here to recruit. Although the guild was established with Manchester as its foundation, But we have our own forces on every continent in this world, if you join us, I believe it will only benefit you... "
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Ci interrupted with a calm face: "I'm not considering joining any organization right now."
"Why?" The man in black frowned deeply.
"I have my own plan, and I also have my own place to go." As a natural lone ranger personality, Zuo Ci is really reluctant to walk with others unless it is like-minded at first sight.
"It doesn't matter where you go! As I said just now, you have the opportunity to meet people from our guild in every corner of the world, and everyone can help each other—you know, we are a big guild with more than 500 people Yes!"
"Since there are already more than 500 people, you won't care about sending me this role."
"You don't understand. Under the leadership of President Marcus, we are determined to integrate all potential members of Manchester to become the most powerful guild in the world. We will advance and retreat together and overcome difficulties together! Believe me , there is nothing that we cannot achieve together, as long as you join our Lions Guild, you will definitely feel a different life!"
[Marcus? ] Totally indifferent to the pyramid-selling rhetoric of the man in black, Zuo Ci only felt that the name was very familiar, and he was interrupted by the man in black as soon as he fell into thinking, and continued his persuasive persuasion: "The world is not good recently, There are fewer and fewer newcomers. I haven’t seen active thieves in Crow Blood Village for a long time. Come forward to bother, watching you grow up step by step, think about it, it's time to talk about the recruitment of the guild."
[Because I bumped into the recruiter of the Green Wolf Guild, my plan was disrupted, so I decided to talk to him today. ] Zuo Ci conjectures—it’s really a coincidence, if you don’t talk about it today, I’m afraid there will be no chance, because he will leave this place early tomorrow morning.
Seeing the unrelenting appearance of the man in black, Zuo Ci decided not to waste his words, but to use a tactful way to get rid of his reluctance, so he said, "Give me a day to think about it, and I will do it tomorrow night." I will reply you at the hotel in time."
Since it wasn't a direct refusal, the man in black couldn't find a reason to insist. He was silent for a second and replied, "Okay, see you tomorrow. My name is Qi. What's your name?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
Leaving this sentence behind, Zuo Ci said no more, turned around and walked towards the guest room area on the second floor.
-
Going upstairs and entering the room, he fell asleep and fell asleep. Four hours later, when Zuo Ci woke up, the sky was still dark. Too lazy to waste time on breakfast, he bought two pieces of bread from the hotel owner and embarked on the journey against the darkness.
Due to the black-clothed man's habit of staying at the spot, Zuo Ci deliberately chose to take the exit on the west side of the village. Although this route needs to bypass a monster wandering bushes to return to the coastal route to the port, it can be passed through a training program. Ostrich's bird house. The Ostrich is a very popular form of transport in mainland Manchester, and a must-have to speed up the progress of his itinerary. So, yes, going west is the best route choice.
After leaving the west village entrance, Zuo Ci didn't intend to obediently follow the main road, but chose to go through the wild area and take a straight-line shortcut, because this choice was easy for him. Although the level is not high, Zuo Ci is proficient in the use, matching and conversion of skills. Relying on the natural skill advantages of thieves, he constantly launches stealth to approach the target prey, and then launches a gouging attack The strangulation, decisive solution to the battle. With his natural super observation ability and proficient skill release, Zuo Ci walked through the bush and wild area smoothly all the way without injury.
The smooth journey should have made him feel relaxed, but Zuo Ci always had a strange feeling, as if there was always a line of sight following behind him, but he turned his head to look around, but found nothing. When he was about to pass through the wild area, the line of sight behind him became more and more intense, as if it was on the side. He turned his head intuitively and saw a black shadow passing by. There was nothing definitively dangerous about it.
It's useless to think deeply, and it's dangerous to choose to leave the place of right and wrong. Zuo Ci immediately used his legs and ran out of the bush field at full speed.
-
When he came to the bird house, Zuo Ci, who had 500 silver in his body, spent 50 silver to learn elementary riding skills, and spent 100 silver to buy an adult ostrich with all black wings. According to his plan, he headed north. towards the coast.
At this time, nearly an hour had passed since Zuo Ci woke up, and there were fewer and fewer stars in the sky. He knew that the sky would soon be slightly brighter. The main road extending to the north appeared in view, passing through this road, and walking one mile forward is the coast, until this moment, everything went smoothly, until—
In the distance, there seemed to be groups of seven or eight figures appearing on the main road leading to the north of the village. Their mounts were of various types, and they were gorgeously dressed. Although they were far away from the ground, it was enough to tell that they were not low level.
Taking a detour was Zuo Ci's first thought. He didn't care about the identities of these passers-by at all, he just wanted to proceed according to the original plan, but things were not as simple as he thought—a slight turn, and two familiar figures turned around. It's getting closer without a sound...
"Little thing, I met you again." Standing behind the ghost raccoon, Shura said in that unmasculine voice.
And the ghost fox stood in front of him again—this time in front of his ostrich, with its head thrown back, staring at him comically, with a grunt in its throat.
As soon as Zuo Ci noticed the ghost raccoon's stare, he remembered the previous experience of being unable to move. He wanted to turn his eyes away and try not to be seduced by his red pupils, but it was too late, just for a moment, and he once again felt as if he was trapped by the electric grid Can't move.
"Stay here if you don't want to die, they are our mission items." The ghost fox muttered childishly at him, and then followed Shura's footsteps towards the group of people walking.
Zuo Ci didn't actually see what happened next.
Because the fixed body including the head prevented the line of sight from being shifted effectively, he had no choice but to watch the sky gradually brighten up. With the arrival of a little bit of sunlight, his body finally returned to a state where he could move.
-
After his body was thawed, Zuo Ci reflexively turned his head and cast his eyes on the group of people who had been walking earlier, but they disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world.
Zuo Ci frowned subconsciously, and muttered to himself, "Where's the person?"
"They're all dead." - Such a sentence suddenly appeared in the empty space, and anyone would be shocked, but Zuo Ci's character is naturally calm, but he turned his head very quickly and looked at the place where the sound came out. Immediately, a swordsman with a frighteningly pale face appeared in his sight.
This swordsman looked about twenty-seven or eighty-eight, with a thin body like a piece of paper, dressed in an all-black kimono, with a long Japanese sword pinned to his waist. His face was extremely pale, with his pair of godless black eyes and his long black hair draped over his shoulders, he looked particularly like a dead man crawling out of a cemetery.
Zuo Ci took two steps back vigilantly, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby, just like you." The black-clothed swordsman tried to force a smile, "You didn't see the massacre just now, did you? It was cruel."
"Do you know the people who were killed?"
"I don't know them. Those are all members of the Sarleon Guild, right?... I'm a lone ranger, and I'm used to walking my own way without any restraint or belonging to any control. This is also the same as you." After finishing speaking, The swordsman showed a weird smile, that smile was inexplicably creepy, and Zuo Ci's arms felt goosebumps.
Sensing the danger of this person, Zuo Ci originally wanted to end the topic here and go their separate ways. Unexpectedly, this swordsman who appeared out of nowhere jumped onto his ostrich and sat behind him, brazenly asking: "We all know each other by fate, why don't you give me a ride?"
Zuo Ci frowned: "I'm on my way, so I may not be on my way."
"Hehehe... That's just right, because I haven't figured out where I'm going. I'll go wherever you go." As he said that, the swordsman showed that creepy smile again.
If he hadn't jumped on his mount, Zuo Ci would definitely leave him behind and run as fast as he can, but the fact is that the strange and brazen swordsman has already jumped on his ride, and now it's really hard to chase him away It's a bit unreasonable. Moreover, Zuo Ci inexplicably felt the power of his ability, which made a level 20 thief feel as if it was boundless.
In the past few days, being entangled by weird people every day is really enough for Zuo Ci, who naturally hates troublesome people. direction to run.
