"Ah~ You slept so comfortably~?!"
The black screen turned off, and Zhiji Nanxun stretched out his body. Although his body curves were not obvious enough, which was a bit worrying, it was not a big problem.
"...Are you awake? Do you want some instant noodles? I made you a bowl."
"Thank you~"
This guy definitely has a knack for acting.
While handing the prepared braised beef noodles to his confidant Nanxun, Gu Moli thought silently in his heart that they had already completed sufficient communication just now.
But the interesting thing is... .
(It’s not like this guy hasn’t concealed something.)
Although the two of them entered the script together this time, theoretically they should help each other without reservation, but neither Zhiji Nanxun nor Gu Moli had similar ideas at all. While they trusted each other's abilities, they also liked to constantly test each other.
The same is true this time.
(The other side of this single room in this base is empty, but it is not a toilet, it is obviously a warehouse.)
(What's in it?)
(Tsk tsk tsk… .)
Gu Moli's eyes rolled, he already had a guess, but considering that it was hard to find a confidant now and she was under comprehensive surveillance, he couldn't expose her. Besides... Although it was somewhat inconsistent with his position, it was undeniable that they did need such a thing now.
So Gu Moli could only give her a cold look in front of her when Zhiji Nanxun got up to eat instant noodles, and then sat back in his original seat.
Then came the usual acting session.
The two of them finished their instant noodles while chatting, and then dawdled for a long time before he slowly got up and walked to the operating table.
"It's almost time. After resting up, we will prepare to go to Emperor Island."
"How do we get there? Or use your submarine?"
"No, no, no."
Zhiji Nanxun shook his head: "Do you think that if I just operate this console casually, some high-tech equipment will be able to locate Emperor Island?"
"If it was really that easy to find, Emperor Island wouldn't have remained undiscovered for so long."
"so?"
“So we need to use some more down-to-earth, more primitive, and simpler methods.”
It's hard to find a true friend while saying this as he tapped the operation button above. Soon, a message popped up on the screen.
Arrived at the agreed area
Where are you
"Oh?"
Looking at the information flashing on the screen, Gu Moli was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You actually asked other people to help?"
"certainly."
Zhiji Nanxun typed a response and said, "What do you think? Do you think Emperor Island is so easy to find? Sometimes you need to use some earthly methods to solve the problem, but don't worry, this person is not from Xiluo City, he is a hidden NPC."
It's hard to find a true friend. It's obvious that Gu Moli is very clear about the real meaning of asking this question.
Ask other people for help.
This means that the originally secret operation is likely to be leaked, especially when the target is the top leader of the underground forces in Hiro City. The possibility of secrets being leaked is even greater. Once leaked, what awaits the two of them is not Emperor Island, but a prepared trap.
"Can we rest assured that we are not from the city of Hilo?"
"At least I can put my mind at ease."
"Strictly speaking, this person's status in the martial arts world is not much worse than that of the emperor. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he is just the boss of a city. If the empire next door gets serious and throws a few nuclear bombs at this city, the city will be doomed."
"That's true." Gu Moli raised his eyebrows: "But... you are really bold."
The setting of the play is clearly in Hiro City.
In the end, it was hard to find a confidant, but she found someone outside of Shiloh City. Gu Moli thought about it and knew that she must be trying to test the bottom line of the game script, so she deliberately ran outside of Shiloh City... .
"...Did you succeed?"
"No."
There was no need to state the specific problem, as it was hard to find a true friend immediately understood what Gu Moli meant.
"The result of running out is that I encountered this hidden NPC. From now on, the system will send me a warning and will not let me go out any further."
“What a pity.”
“That’s what I mean.”
Messages related to the game system will be automatically blocked and deleted, so the two of them don't have to worry about being eavesdropped when chatting.
After a moment.
Beacon delivery has started
Come on over here
"OK, everyone is here, let's go."
"OK."
Gu Moli responded, then followed Zhiji Nanxun out of the single room and returned to the warehouse where the submarine was parked. The two of them pushed and shoved for a long time before they squeezed in together.
"You're so fat!"
"It's the design of your lousy submarine!"
"There's nothing we can do! The sewer pipe is just this big!"
After coming out of the secret base, the submarine carrying the two began to surface. In order to prevent the atmosphere between the two from cooling down, Gu Moli continued:
"By the way, what exactly is the hidden NPC you mentioned, whose status in the martial arts world is no less than that of the emperor?"
"Oh, I need to talk to you too."
"You've already played the main storyline to this point, so you can't possibly not know this worldview, right?"
"nonsense."
The worldview of the main storyline is nothing more than an empire that advocates science and a kingdom that worships magic, facing each other across an endless sea.
Gu Moli had already figured it out from many previous scripts.
"This world view seems to be a binary opposition between the Empire and the Kingdom, but in fact there are many large and small forces behind the scenes. Hiro City is one, and the Heavenly Brigade we met before is also one. In addition to these two, there is another one, the Endless Sea."
"This endless sea that separates the two hegemonic countries breeds countless dangers and hides countless treasures. Every year, countless people set out from the empire and the kingdom to make a fortune. Over time, these people who go out to sea have formed their own forces."
"Pirate King?"
"almost."
Zhiji Nanxun and Gu Moli grinned at the same time, but soon, Gu Moli continued: "And this hidden NPC is also the top one among the many forces in the Endless Sea. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the queen, so I say that her status in the martial arts world is no worse than that of the emperor."
"... .Queen?"
Gu Moli frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
This introduction... ..he seemed to have heard it before.
when
Is it related to the main storyline
Naberis's golden treasure, the sleeping Shambhala... .
"... .ah!"
Gu Moli's pupils shrank, and almost at the same time, the submarine had officially surfaced. As soon as it went out to sea, a huge black shadow came into their sight. It was a huge three-masted sailing ship. The surging waves were split apart the moment it approached it. Windows on the side were opened, through which one could see the black gun barrels sticking out, and at the bow, stood a tall woman.
Gray eyes like raging waves.
Large brown hunting coat.
A sailor's cutlass at his waist.
... .damn it.
Gu Moli realized more accurately that the main storyline was indeed the same as the other main storylines.
Because he knew this person.
In Shambhala, a female adventurer who appears as "one of the four leaders" of the Kingdom Adventurer's Guild, also known as the "Deep Sea Undertaker".
Granny.
Behind her stood another old acquaintance of Gu Moli.
The last of Shambhala.
Adventurer Loren.
This is really... .
“Where in life can we not meet each other?”
