Open the door and enter the room on the second floor, the disturbing sound of the mine operation can still be clearly heard...
[Fortunately, this is just a game scene, otherwise, who can bear to sleep peacefully in such a noisy environment? ] Zuo Ci thought this way, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Looking from his room, not only can he see the outline of the entire mine by virtue of its high position, but he can also see the densely woven and complicated steel structure on the inner rock wall of the visible part of the mine, and Attached to it is the manned elevator box moving up and down. From this angle, the afterglow of the red crystals emanating from the depths of the mine shone from the ground, as if a fire was burning and dancing in the core of the mine.
And at this moment, Zuo Ci felt a strong gaze again, just like the kind of direct gaze that he had never shaken off since Yaxue Village.
He instinctively turned his face to the right. This time, he didn't lose his mind. He clearly saw a character in a black robe standing on a dead tree on Banpo, looking at him.
Why do you say it seems? Because the man's face was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, but he was indeed facing his direction...
Almost immediately, a legend about the leader of the blood crows mentioned by the NPC in Crow Blood Village appeared in his mind-[the leader of the blood crows is called Knight, only his face is covered with a black mask, there is no pattern...]
[Could this be Knight? ] Zuo Ci looked back at him blankly, half paid, both of them stood in their original positions without moving.
After staring at each other like this for about 10 minutes, Zuo Ci silently uttered a sentence: "Boring."... Finally turned around and walked to his own bed, and fell asleep.

The next day, it was half past the hour when I woke up, but there was still no one there when I went downstairs. I guess it was because the members of the Lions Guild worked so hard yesterday that they were able to fall asleep, and they still haven't woken up yet.
But halfway through the breakfast, people came downstairs one after another, and within a short time the lobby on the first floor of the entire hotel was filled.
Nick and Sal were the first members to go downstairs. After yesterday's harmonious conversation, the acquaintance between them and Zuo Ci has improved a bit. So, when they saw the thief, the two chose to go to the table where he was and sit down.
After ordering the food, Nick asked the thief with a smile, "Zuo Ci, are you going to go with us today? The large army is preparing to go to the Iron Fortress—if I remember correctly, Qi has mentioned that you are going to the Steel Fortress, right?" ?”
"I'm going to the Iron Fortress, but it's not today, so I don't need to go with you. I plan to do some missions around to improve my level." Zuo Ci said, pointing to a kraft paper notice on the mission wall with his right thumb.
"Leveling here? Is there anyone with you?" Sal put on the blindfold again this morning, and glanced at him with his single eyeball. "This is not a novice village, and there are dangers everywhere. It is difficult to survive, except for aliens like Thorens. Even the famous violent gunner Cecilia also has Tesla of the healing department to work with her occasionally. At your current weak stage, it is best to find someone It’s easy to work with a supporting type of companion with you.”
[partner? ] It's not that he doesn't like to cooperate with others, otherwise, how can there be the KK team with full achievements in the real world? But I really prefer to go alone, so even in MOBA games where teamwork is crucial, I am best at inputting characters from the front row, but I don't like letting people grab too many heads.
[It's just a role-playing game, what's so scary, and it's not always accompanied by weird people? ] Zuo Ci took a sip of porridge with a blank expression, and the black-clothed swordsman "Wu Ming Shi"'s sinister white face floated in his mind...
"It's okay, I can still handle it now." Zuo Ci responded lightly.
"Then what if we meet the characters from the two steel tribes last night again? The bloody men in our guild last night kept the corpse and killed them three times repeatedly. What if they vendetta you and still guard your corpse?" Nick asked again.
"They won't stick around all day long, they need to eat and sleep anyway." Zuo Ci maintained his usual indifference, drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, then got up and walked to the wall covered with task kraft paper, and began to study While cooperating with the map that was removed on the way back from the cemetery last night, I began to study the route.
Selectively peeled off 20 quest kraft papers, and when Zuo Ci was about to set off to fight monsters and level up, the Lions Guild and his party were basically ready to go.
Everyone gathered together to chat about fighting, in addition to showing off the joy and hatred of last night, a few people standing not far from Zuo Ci were talking about blood crows... This made the thief's mind suddenly drift to the night before last night with himself outside the window. The figure of the man in black with black face and black robe staring at each other.
Nick and Sal's very friendly talk last night aroused Zuo Cixin's affection, so before leaving, he still walked up to Sal and whispered expressionlessly: "I seem to have seen a black face last night. The Blood Raven is standing on the dead tree outside the hotel, not sure if this person is the legendary Blood Raven leader Knight."
After saying this, there was a commotion among the members of the Lions Guild. It turned out that everyone was so sensitive to the information related to "Blood Raven"...
"Could it be that the gang of killers chased here?" Nick walked over frowning, rubbing his chin with his right hand as if thinking.
Thrall's face was also pale at this time, and it seemed that the psychological shadow caused by the battle with Shura and the ghost fox was not light, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Those shameless assassins should not commit crimes in broad daylight. Speed up your pace and get to the Steel Fortress before dark, and you should be fine." After speaking, the whole room immediately echoed.
The members of the Lions Guild quickly packed up and went out without delay. Zuo Ci happened to be going out, so he rode an ostrich and walked out of the mountain road leading to the mine with them. Then, the team will follow the main road to Xueyuan Volcano. Advance in the group, while Zuo Ci is preparing to start his leveling journey from the surrounding wild areas.
Before parting ways, Zuo Ci said to Saar who was walking beside him: "If you meet a ghost fox wearing an animal mask again, try to close your eyes and wait for him to perform a unique trick before opening them—the last time in the crow Blood Village Inn, I wanted to say that too."
After finishing speaking, he turned to the direction of the plan without hesitation, and let the ostrich run away.
-
On the first day, I did leveling tasks near the mine and did not encounter the problem of being harassed by high-level characters that Sal and Nick were worried about. Perhaps it was because the level of the wild area he went to was around level 25 to 35, which did not have the value of exploration for high-level characters, and Zuo Ci paid great attention to finding shelters to hide his whereabouts, but the whole process of killing monsters and leveling was still extraordinarily hard.
Monsters that are 5 levels higher than yourself are already quite difficult to fight. Not only can you not make any mistakes in the battle, but you need to rely on medicines to continuously replenish your blood volume and increase your spiritual power, let alone 5 to 10 levels higher. Level monsters need to rest for a long time to recover after each battle. In addition, the mistake that must not be made is that when recruiting monsters in the wild area, it attracts a large number of people by mistake...
Fortunately, he didn't make a fatal mistake once. Although he was exhausted from playing, Zuo Ci successfully advanced to level 4, and returned to the hotel for the fourth time after night fell with a backpack full of spoils.
-
As soon as he stepped into the hotel gate, he was very surprised to see a familiar face sitting in the old seat drinking and eating meat, and just like last night, Sal took off one side of the blindfold.
"Zuo Ci, come have a drink?" Seeing the thief standing at the door staring at him expressionlessly, Thrall smiled wryly and raised the wine bowl as a gesture.
"I thought you had already gone to the Iron Fortress." The thief said lightly.
"That was indeed the plan." Thrall sighed, drank the wine in the wine bowl, and put the wine bowl on the table with a bang, "However, we actually encountered that person on the way." Help the shameless Blood Raven!"
"Blood Crow?" Zuo Ci frowned slightly, walked to the wine table and sat down. His interest was completely aroused, and just because of the word 'Blood Crow', he asked, "What happened?"
Thrall sighed again: "As you reminded me this morning, Knight, the leader of the Blood Crow, appeared with a group of crows just as we walked into the Immortal Mist Mountain Road. I didn't see how many of them there were, because Immortal Mist Mountain Road was originally surrounded by volcanic ash that blinded people's vision, but I'm sure there were a lot of blood crows this time, a lot of blood crows... Hey, before we can clearly see what happened, we all went to the army. Overwhelmed."
"Everyone is dead?" Zuo Ci's slightly frowned brows never let go.
"Yes, I died twice. It seems that the Blood Crow deliberately obstructed our progress. After the second time, everyone discussed the plan in the cemetery, and finally decided to separate the two roads, and continue on the same road with a small road. Look at the Blood Crow How long do they plan to continue the massacre, bypassing this volcano on the other way, and passing through the crater of another extinct volcano that is more dangerous. As for me, I have already called the president for help, and he will send a powerful legion to support in a short time. That's why I will stay in the mine hotel and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and take them to siege the blood crow's harassment." While talking, Thrall called the hotel owner to come over, pointed to the wine bowl, and signaled to add a bowl for Zuo Ci.
"Why does the Blood Raven fight against the Sarleon Guild everywhere? What is their purpose?" The thief was very puzzled—[Shouldn't this be a neutral force? ]
"It's just a bunch of killers, they did nothing more than get money to do things, but someone must have paid a heavy price for them to have such a serious behavior, and there is an unshakable hatred with the Sarleon Guild . . . " Sal explained.
"Are you sure all of this is just an enmity between the person who paid for it and the Lions Guild?" Zuo Ci questioned reflexively.
Thrall was silent for a while, and murmured: "If you want to get to the bottom of it, maybe what you need to get involved is state affairs..."
"Yeah, you guys told me last night that the Sarleon Guild was ordered by the cabinet, and the president was ordered by the powerful former Prime Minister Albert, how could such a big backstage be abused like this? I can't imagine that How awesome is the mysterious person instructing the Blood Raven organization." Zuo Ci smiled mockingly, and filled the empty bowl that the boss just brought to him with wine. He felt quite interesting about today's situation, and he has a strong interest in drinking tonight.
