"Is that you?" The younger sister of the two suddenly recognized who he was through Zhao Xu's voice after taking a closer look.
"Sister, do you know her?" The paladin had not yet connected the carriage that fell into the abyss with the man in front of him, and he was suddenly extremely surprised.
"Miss Rannuo, it seems you recognized me." Zhao Xukuan said with a smile. In fact, he did not expect such a coincidence.
The brother and sister in front of him turned out to be the brothers Shen Nian and Shen Ze whom he knew in his previous life. They had helped Zhao Xu a lot at that time.
Before the Battle of Falling Star Lake, he met Shen Nian, a warlock named Ran Nuo in the game, at a stall in Winter City.
At that time, Zhao Xu conveniently identified the "Bronze Griffin" statue worth more than 10,000 gold coins on the stall and asked Shen Nian to keep it and give it to her brother.
"Brother, he is the mage who picked out your bronze mount for us before." Shen Nian shook his brother's arm with an excited tone.
Shen Ze, who was still sizing up Zhao Xu, suddenly opened his eyes wide, "So it's you."
As he said that, he stretched out his powerful arm and held Zhao Xu tightly, "According to the rules of the market, you picked out this magic item for us. We should compensate you, but my sister was not sensible at the time. I didn’t catch you in time.”
Seeing what the other party meant, Zhao Xu waved his hand directly, "No, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence."
Seeing that his brother was looking a little dull, Shen Nian quickly interrupted: "Let me introduce to you first. This is my brother. He is a level 4 paladin of the God of Justice and Punishment in Winter City, and belongs to the Holy Guard Knights."
"And I, Ran Yi, am a Warlock of Winter City, also at level 4." Shen Nian said with a bright smile.
At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a closer look. It was not surprising that the Shen brothers and sisters, who were famous throughout Winter City in later generations, were now higher than the ordinary level.
But he didn't expect that Shen Nian, as a warlock among spell casters, would successfully reach the key level of level 4.
But speaking of it, the warlock also has an unspeakable secret.
They must be an even number of levels to cast a spell of one level higher.
Like second-level spells, spell priests can cast them at level 3, but warlocks have to wait until level 4, which is inherently slower.
"Then this kind-hearted gentleman, who are you?" Warlock Shen Nian asked.
"Zhongxia." Zhao Xu simply replied.
Now, among the players, he can only say one name.
Even poets can get certain information by searching this ID using "anecdotal knowledge".
In an instant, the Shen brothers and sisters, who already felt that they were much better than ordinary players and were considered high-ranking players in Winter City, looked at Zhao Xu with dumbfounded expressions.
It seems a little hard to believe that the former kind person is actually a hidden boss.
The ID "Zhongxia" is probably just a common name outside the game Arthur circle.
But among Arthur, in this short period of time, this name has accumulated an endless storm of energy.
If you look for any casual player, even a casual player who just wants to enjoy the scenery during a spring outing in the game, he will know that "Zhong Xia" is the top player in the game today.
An incredible player who beat the second player by two levels.
Even in search posts on Tieba and even some forums, there have been countless analyzes of this name.
Some people directly search for users with the same ID on other websites, trying to find out the true identity of the player named Zhongxia.
Sometimes, if you are not in the same circle, you will just be treated like a piece of grass.
But the top figures in the same circle would be "shocked" like thunder.
Zhao Xu, who has always felt relatively simple about himself, or who has always been "bullied" by Antinoya, was a little embarrassed when he saw such eyes from an acquaintance in his previous life for the first time.
Shen, on the other hand, held his hand and couldn't help but exert force because of his excitement, as if he was a little excited.
It's just that Zhao Xu is now relying on the power of the four-ring "Death Realm" to not only increase his caster level, but also his strength.
Now in his twenties, he had no regard for Shen Ze's strength.
As the most powerful player at the moment, Zhao Xu felt somewhat ashamed that he could not act as a melee player honestly.
"Sorry." Shen Ze realized that he was excited and quickly let go of his hand.
Next, the curious Shen brothers and sisters asked Zhao Xu many gossipy questions.
In fact, they didn't want to touch Zhao Xu's upgrade privacy and asked mostly about other aspects.
However, Zhao Xu had so many secrets that it was difficult to explain. Instead, he had been upgrading so wildly. Fortunately, he had a qualified IQ and suddenly became more mature, without revealing too many secrets.
After such exchanges, Zhao Xu learned that the other party had risked the ice and snow to cross the ice-cracked canyon to investigate a series of disappearances.
Shen Ze traveled thousands of miles and rushed all the way from Winter City to Oru City, and then went up the mountain based on the clues. And her sister just didn't trust him and followed him.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but wonder, "The Holy Guard Knights, logically speaking, wouldn't let you come here alone."
Shen Ze was a little lonely, "The main thing is that I don't have any clue about this matter for a while, and the importance is not ranked well yet. So the regiment arranged for our detachment to be responsible. In order to speed up efficiency, we all investigated separately. ”
Zhao Xu suddenly realized that he also remembered that Shen Ze had also gone to Falling Star Town to investigate the slave-trading case of the mine owner in the town, and asked, "Do you have a clue?"
"I heard that there is a secret base above the Icefield Mountains. I suspect it is there."
"who?"
"Six sisters." Shen Ze said with some embarrassment, "Our knights have actually tracked the six sisters for many years, but the location where they hide the kidnapped hostages has always been very hidden. My sister suspects that it is just above the Icefield Mountains, just a few other places. The main road has always been fortified, and it is absolutely impossible for the six sisters to pass through with a large number of slaves without being noticed."
"So a few of our team will be guarding several inaccessible shortcuts in batches to observe whether the six sisters have any special climbing methods."
Zhao Xu suddenly understood, knowing that Shen Ze seemed to have hit the target by mistake, but in fact he had really found the key.
Even according to the time points given by the other party, the time interval between the six sisters' robbery of Fleur and Mrs. Ellie was shorter.
Even if he quickly climbed the mountain and then came down to sneak into the city of Oru, it was a bit hasty, as if it was a sudden order.
At this time, Zhao Xu fell silent, thinking secretly about the new information given by the Shen brothers and sisters.
It stands to reason that what they all know should be reported to the league immediately. He, the target candidate, should get such first-hand information.
But he didn't receive it, as if someone had forcibly interrupted some of the key messages.
And Zhao Xu, who had just passed through Oru City, realized that he had to take the opportunity to "escape" when he knew the mysterious storm in the ice-cracked canyon.
Fake death to escape.
He was driving a carriage again. To be honest, it was like a bright light in the dark night, attracting the attention of all forces.
"Well, I was just about to look for the Sixth Sister now."
Zhao Xu said, incidentally revealing his rescue incident to the two of them.
Immediately, both Shen Nian and Shen Ze frowned when they heard this. It was obvious that they had realized the huge crisis hidden behind the scenes.
"I need your help." Zhao Xu lowered his voice and said.
When he realized that the six sisters might have a secret base in the Icefield Mountains, where many kidnapped hostages and even slaves were being held, Zhao Xu had already realized that this matter was not just about his personal heroism and single-handedly rescued Just Fleur and Lady Ellie.
Without outside power, those who were robbed would freeze to death during the process of going down the mountain.
"But Brother Zhongxia." Shen Nian asked, "Logically speaking, wouldn't it be more effective for you to ask for help from the alliance official?"
Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head. Sure enough, Shen Nian was not as sophisticated as he would be in the future.
In other words, I still believe in the officials in the game.
"I just need to avoid them." Zhao Xu said, "It's not that there is a problem with the top management, but in the entire information network, there must be candidates for the Six Sisters, and there is even an opposition to me saving people. I wish that Fleur and Ai Madam Li died at the hands of the other party."
As he spoke, he looked at the paladin Shen Ze and said, "If there is anything in the Northern Alliance that is the most reliable, then the Knights of the God of Justice, I think it must be among the top three."
Suddenly, Shen Ze felt as if a surge of hot blood surged into his heart. He immediately pressed the hilt of the long sword against his chest, "Glory is my life, justice is my soul."
Seeing this oath, Zhao Xu also nodded silently, roughly sketched a map of the Icefield Mountains directly on the ice underground, and then told the brothers Shen Ze and Shen Nian.
The most powerful thing about the Paladins in Arthur is that they can be said to be independent of government departments, similar to the functions of a "Prosecutor's Office" and even some "Courts".
Moreover, every paladin is like an independent prosecutor. They have enough energy to communicate the power of the entire knight order.
It was just the suspicion stage before, so only a few paladins came over, but after Zhao Xu provided substantial evidence, many things became easily solved.
"Brother Zhongxia, how did you know the six sisters' lair?" Shen Nian looked at Zhao Xu with an extremely surprised expression, as if the other party was one of the six sisters.
At this time, Zhao Xu exhaled slightly.
He looked outside the door of the ice sculpture hut and remained silent.
The thoughts in my heart have drifted back to my previous life.
Back in the past, he followed a woman to the lair of the six sisters in the Icefield Mountains, and broke off with her after learning the truth.
"That's right." Zhao Xu suddenly recalled a question in his past life that he had always wanted to ask, but was afraid of being beaten to death by Shen Ze if he asked it.
Shen Ze patted his chest on the spot, anticipating Zhao Xu's questions.
Zhao Xu showed his white teeth and looked at Shen Ze with evil intentions and asked.
"Are you a girl-controller?"
