The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 32: The forum is open

Views:

Soon, the people inside the sea of fire suddenly felt a chill.

It was as if the face was blown head-on by the extremely cold air conditioner just after coming out of the sauna. The whole person shuddered and woke up instantly.

And, that's not an illusion—

I saw the sea of fire on Don Juan's side, the temperature and altitude were dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. Three seconds later, the flame was forcibly extinguished. There were only a few flames still stubbornly sticking to the ground and shaking.

Players trapped in the fire see their young lord standing outside.

On both sides of him are huge walls of fire nearly five or six meters high, billowing up with thick black smoke.

But the black smoke could not approach Don Juan Geraint at all.

I saw that his mouth and nose exhaled faintly white frosty air, his skin became extremely pale and bloodless, and his eyes were ignited with azure blue light.

His cuffs and trouser legs continuously sprayed out white cold air. The frosty white mist was tightly attached to the ground, slowly rippling outward like water waves.

The ground that was still burning with flames cooled down rapidly, cracks appeared, and fine frost lumps condensed on the ground.

"My lord..."

"Thank you very much, Monsieur Don Juan."

The players saluted and saluted Annan immediately, and the salutes were also in a mess... They were a little worried whether this would be a taboo or something.

But soon, they realized that Annan was not looking at them at all.

Annan stared at a corner.

Those cold and ruthless eyes, like winter, stared straight at the empty corner——

Just when the players were at a loss, they suddenly heard two screams from that corner:

"Master Geraint, I, we surrender..."

"Help, help! It's cold, I'm dying..."

I saw two people slowly peeling off from the shadows over there. They were covered with caked frost marks, curled up on the ground, and cried out weaker and weaker: "Help! Lord Geraint..."

The pupils of the players dilated slightly.

Whether in the sea of fire or outside the sea of fire, they cast their gazes over immediately.

It suddenly dawned on them.

No wonder the last two people couldn't be found...

They can actually hide in stealth!

Facing the two begging for mercy, Annan did not waver in the slightest.

There was no smile on his immature face. He just laughed lightly, exhaling a mouthful of frosty white mist as if he had just taken a puff of cigarette.

"Surrender...? Do you want to surrender?"

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and the coldness visible to the naked eye leaked from the white and fine teeth.

Reflected by the dancing flames, his expression was even more icy cold.

"Yes! We surrender!"

"We know all the secrets... Please spare our lives! We can testify to you—"

"Oh, surrender. What a gentle word, even if you just wanted to murder me, according to the rules among the nobles, I can't kill the surrendered soldiers...

"—you think so, don't you?"

Annan showed a bright smile, and his slightly curved eyes were full of gentle smiles: "But I'm sorry, my dear... there is no surrender between us.

"You were the first to break the rules. You're not revenge—that's murder."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to the two men, spreading it upwards.

"no no!"

"Forgive me, Silver Lord... Please... Your Excellency..."

The two of them watched Annan's movements, and they were extremely frightened, stammering and begging.

But Annan showed no mercy.

He just showed a hearty, gentle, and elegant smile, and slowly withdrew his little fingers one by one.

Every time he retracted a little finger, the frost marks on the two people's bodies became thicker and thicker. When the five fingers were completely retracted and clenched into fists, they were motionless, their eyes widened, and they lost their breath.

Their faces were contorted with intense pain and fear, their eyes wide and frosted like fish in a refrigerator.

This cold, decisive and almost cruel scene made the players hold their breath for a while.

At the same time, the ice chips constantly scattered around Annan also reflected the fire. His whole body is like a god, shining in the dark night.

After the two people died everywhere, Annan turned around, and the frost swelled around him gradually dissipated.

His smile was shallow, distant and polite, far less bright than when facing the two of them. But it gives people a strong sense of trust.

"Welcome triumphantly, my loyal guards."

Annan said slowly, with a cool and sweet voice: "Forty people, all of them are here. No one betrayed me, and no friend left me.

"I'm sorry, I was supposed to clean up the dust for you. Because of the previous incident, I don't have the energy or money to hold a banquet for you. I hope you can forgive me... I will make up for it when our days are better. Today's banquet. I think it must be a luxurious and lively banquet."

Annan's voice was low, but his expression was serious: "I will do what I say."

After that, he paused, and added in a low voice: "You are welcome... go home safely."

At this time, a mission prompt appeared in the eyes of the players:

[Mission completed: Kill all Roseburg private troops (/), destroy or control all Black Flames within 30 minutes (50/50)]

[Completed the main mission: Black Flame Calamity]

[Unlocked: Frozen Water Port]

[Unlocked: Player Forum]

[The guiding mission is over, from now on, your death will be punished. Each death will deduct all the current public experience, and randomly reduce 1~2 professional level by one level]

[Gain public experience 40]

[Get 100 favors from Don Juan Geraint]

[The current favorability is friendly (0/500)]

[Don Juan Geraint was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he heard the news that you were coming back. But because of this, Don Juan also obtained a way out from the killing intent of Viscount Roseburg.]

[But now, Frozen Water Port is still facing a catastrophe.]

[You speculate that the old viscount must put him to death because his identity is related to the chaotic situation in the country. Perhaps, there will be other forces behind the old Viscount, faintly affecting Frozen Water Harbor...]

[In any case, this is your home.]

[You decide not to back down.]

[Acquired the main task: go home]

[Task requirements: Get your own residence in the frozen water port, and log off on your own bed (0/1)]

[Issuing additional evaluation rewards...]

"Oh, right."

Annan suddenly turned around: "Yiyi, homeless child, Delicious Wind Goose, the three of you remember to follow me soon."

At this moment, Lin Yiyi suddenly flashed a light curtain in front of his eyes.

[Your affection with Don Juan Geraint has risen]

[Currently trust (0/1500)]

She looked around and looked at the other two.

From their eyes, Lin Yiyi got the information she wanted.

Sure enough, they are the same...

Does the 100% extra completion reward mean that the current favorability is directly increased by one level

What is the rest

If Annan could know what she was thinking, he would happily explain her doubts—the reward for 40% completion is of course a 40% increase in favorability!

What a fair, useful, balanced and free reward!

Oh, another hidden reward is that the residence of the three of them will be closer to Annan...

For the players, maybe this can be regarded as "different"

But other players can no longer discuss the issue of completion.

After confirming that he could browse the forum while walking with Annan, almost all the players entered the player forum without exception.

Players followed Annan's buttocks like zombies with their heads down and lifeless.

Looking from a distance, it looks particularly frightening.

There is only one person who did not enter the forum...

I saw Jiu'er following Annan curiously, staring at him closely, wondering what he was thinking, and a strange smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

But Annan felt inexplicably terrified.

It wasn't malicious, but it made him a little creepy for no reason.

What the hell is she thinking...

But Annan was happy anyway.

After a player guards the Frozen Water Port. At least I can rest assured that I can enter the advanced level of the copy...

At least don't worry, after coming out of the dungeon, the whole frozen water port was on fire.

And... Roseburg has to deal with it.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He just felt that at this time, he probably needed to be angry.
