According to Gu Moli's inference.
This sister Wen is probably the kind of player who is extremely cautious.
During the encrypted call, the voice with the word "stable" kept on talking, until Long Aotian coughed impatiently, and then she stopped talking to herself as if awakened from a dream.
"... .Feel sorry."
"In short, I suggest that we take turns to communicate with Roland and try to get information from him. Then we can determine whether the information is true or false. Finally, we can find a way to delay the time of entering the ruins, so as to make the best preparations..."
Before he finished speaking the word "stable", one of the treasure hunter NPCs at the conference table took the initiative to stand up.
"What's the point of saying so much?"
"In a word, where is the legendary ancient kingdom of Shambhala?"
"... ... ... "
Although the treasure hunter's tone was arrogant, surprisingly, the one-eyed man sitting behind Roland did not speak this time. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked at Roland quietly. Although he was a burly man, his temperament was as cold as a poisonous snake in the grass.
Seeing this scene, Gu Moli immediately made a judgment.
This is a shill!
The one who actually asked this question was not the treasure hunter who stood up, but the one-eyed man himself! So Roland hasn't told him the specific information yet
In other words, the partnership between these two people is not solid
Besides, the one-eyed man is just one person, and according to the background introduction, the Adventurer's Guild in this script has four treasure hunters called adventurers.
Where did they go
Or... ..
“That’s a good question.”
Faced with the treasure hunter's questioning, Roland did not panic. The smile on his face remained elegant and calm, as if he was unaware of the cold gaze behind him.
"Everyone should be familiar with the legend of the ancient Shambhala Kingdom. Do you think that with the current level of magic in the kingdom, if the ancient Shambhala is really within the kingdom, the kingdom will be unaware of it?"
"What's the meaning?"
The treasure hunter who asked the question frowned, glanced at the one-eyed man behind Roland, and continued, "You're not trying to tell me that the address of ancient Shambhala is actually in the Empire, right? Don't forget that the Empire is different from us and does not believe in magic at all."
"Besides, there is an endless sea between the two sides."
"Certainly not the Empire."
Roland smiled and said, "Let me be frank. There is no physical entrance to ancient Shambhala. To enter that great and mysterious kingdom, what you need is not a specific address, but a key."
"key?"
As soon as the words fell, the treasure hunters present all showed fiery eyes.
"Yes."
Roland smiled slightly, then took off his tall hat and took out a crystal ball. There were countless star-like light points in the ball, forming a mist that was magical and dreamy.
"Is this the key?"
"Yes... But this is the key my father left behind. Only I can open it."
“Tsk!”
Behind Roland, the one-eyed man who had just straightened up and was about to pounce like a cheetah smacked his lips when he heard this, then sat back down.
It seems that these two people really don’t have a very good relationship.
After receiving a signal from the one-eyed man, the treasure hunter who had asked the question earlier spoke again: "By borrowing this crystal ball, can we enter ancient Shambhala?"
"That's right."
Roland nodded. "Please don't be anxious, and don't make any meaningless attempts, because I am actually very sincere. Otherwise, I would not have given up looking for the other three adventurers, but would have chosen you. Don't you agree, Sir Snake?"
The Adventurer's Guild is an officially recognized force in the kingdom, and Snake, one of the four adventurers, has naturally also been officially recognized. He even participated in the awarding ceremony hosted by the kingdom, and was awarded the title of baron by the queen of the kingdom herself.
As soon as Roland finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into silence again.
The treasure hunter who asked the question earlier sat back down, sweating profusely. An invisible pressure arose spontaneously. After a long while, Snake slowly spoke:
"... How are you going to let me enter Shambhala? With this so-called key?"
"I doubt whether it is true or not."
"Unless you ..."
"I can let you check it yourself."
Roland directly said what Snake wanted to say: "I understand what you mean, but it should be okay for you to check it yourself, Lord Snake? Or you can ask someone you trust to check it. I guarantee that it can indeed take you to ancient Shambhala."
"... ... ... "
Snake couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard that. His emerald-like eyes slowly opened with a pair of brown vertical pupils, staring at Roland, who was smiling.
After a moment, Snake calmed down the strange vision in his pupils and nodded with satisfaction.
"... You are telling the truth."
"Open the key. If I can obtain Loren's treasure and become the next Adventure King, you will get my friendship and a promise."
As soon as the words fell, the players at the conference table grinned.
What you said is that promises and friendship are nothing but empty promises.
However, considering Snake's identity as an adventurer and his status and rights, the transaction between the two parties was not equal, so it was normal to write a blank check.
At least Roland did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface. Instead, he bowed solemnly and said, "It's my pleasure."
"Then I'm ready to open the door."
"This crystal ball is actually a portal."
"A portal?"
Roland's words did not shock the crowd too much. In a kingdom where magic flourished, portals were very rare, but they did exist.
"Turn it on."
"yes."
Roland held up the crystal ball and murmured softly, as if he was reciting something. As time passed, the crystal ball gradually began to emit light.
Are they going to go straight into the ruins? Without giving the players any time to prepare and understand the specific situation
Seeing this scene, Gu Moli frowned subconsciously.
You know, so far, only one of the four adventurers mentioned in the script introduction has appeared. Since he is going to become the adventure king, are the other three adventurers just going to be there for show
This is impossible.
In other words... do other adventurers also have a way to enter ancient Shambhala
or... ..
Are they already in
How did you get in
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Gu Moli's mind. At the same time, he subconsciously looked up at the word "stable" that had previously claimed that Roland might also have problems.
"... .Um?"
The next second, before Gu Moli could say anything, a dazzling white light burst out from the crystal ball, sweeping across the entire conference room like a raging wave, enveloping everyone in it. The light lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating, leaving only a conference room.
... ... and Roland.
"Greed is indeed the original sin of everything."
"That makes it the fourth one, which is just the right number."
“Ancient Shambhala.”
“Beautiful Shambhala.”
"... .hehe."
Roland put on a tall hat, picked up his cane, and walked out of the conference hall with an unfathomable smile on his face.
