The door from the first floor to the second floor was set on a high cliff. Le Yuan walked down the stairs step by step. When Le Yuan reached a certain staircase, suddenly a small envelope came from the upper right corner of his field of vision. The logo keeps flashing.
Le Yuan now has more or less friends. Apart from Ke Xueqiu and Luo Rou, who he occasionally contacts, the only one he contacts most often is Argo, who is an intelligence agent. Of course, there are two more people now - Tongzi and Ya Sina, but now the two have just left, so there are only three people left to send the message.
"Who would send a message at this time? If it had been a little earlier, wouldn't I have fallen into this text message?" Le Yuan looked at the flashing text messages and couldn't help but remember that when he was fighting the kobold lord, he suddenly The scene where he was distracted by a text message and then killed with one blow made him shudder.
When Le Yuan opened the text message, he found that the sender was the last of the three - Argo.
"Sorry for causing you trouble, Le Yuan."
Seeing Argo's first words, Le Yuan swore directly: "Damn, who is such a big mouth?" Less than twenty minutes had passed since Le Yuan defended Argo. Counting the time, there was still no one. After leaving the maze, naturally the only way to spread the news about the maze area is through text messages, which means that there may be Argo's informants among the surviving raiders.
Le Yuan shook his head and slid the screen with his hand to pull down the message, wanting to see what Argo wanted to say, but there were only two sentences left in Argo's message: "Thank you for your trust in me all the time. , thank you very much. Also, in return for this, I will provide you with a piece of information for free, no matter what it is."
Argo is worthy of being Argo. As one of Argo's current informants, Le Yuan naturally understands her temperament. She is not a guy who is willing to default on favors. After receiving the text message, Le Yuan immediately walked towards Urbas in the distance and brought up the virtual keyboard to start replying to Argo.
"In that case, let's meet in the main street on the second floor." After writing the letter, Le Yuan clicked the button to send the letter, and then Le Yuan walked on the land on the second floor toward the distant block Ur. Bas went.
Just forty minutes after the boss on the first floor was eliminated, Le Yuan had arrived at Urbas, the second main block of Aincrad. After hollowing out the town with a diameter of 300 meters, only a little bit was left as an edge. small town.
Le Yuan entered the street from the south gate. As soon as he stepped into the street, he heard the slow and melodious street BGM. Different from the cheerful string music of the starting town on the first floor, the music played on the street on the second floor was... The main oboe melody has a sad timbre.
Although pedestrians walked by on the street from time to time, and there were shouts and shouts from vendors, there was not a single player in Urbas except Le Yuan. The rest of the strategy team returned to the stronghold on the first floor after completing the strategy. Le Yuan slowly walked towards the portal in the center of the town.
Although it was called a door, it was actually an arched object made of stones. Through the arch, Le Yuan could feel the space in the center of the arched object shaking slightly. The door was already in a semi-activated state.
As the gate connecting the main blocks on the first and second floors, this portal can only be activated after defeating the BOSS on the first floor. If Le Yuan does not take action, it will automatically activate two hours after the death of the BOSS, but Le Yuan will Received a text message from Luo Rou.
Opening the text message, there was only one short sentence on it: "Military command, open the portal quickly."
Since this information was sent from Luo Rou instead of through the army's own personnel, Le Yuan naturally could not live up to the expectations of the "army" and put his hand on the edge of the stone door. After a while, blue appeared in the empty arch. Colored light formed a light curtain, and the NPC orchestra somewhere in the square played the "Opening Symphony" loudly.
In just an instant, a large number of players emerged from the light curtain. The moment the players poured out, Le Yuan walked towards a side street to temporarily avoid the surging crowd.
Unexpectedly, Le Yuan had just walked out a few steps when he walked out of the light curtain and spotted a familiar figure among the crowd. Just as he was about to say hello, he found her hurriedly walking towards the street on one side, followed closely behind her. Following the two male players, they looked around after leaving the portal and locked their eyes on her, and then followed her furtively, just like stalkers.
The person being followed was Argo, who had arranged to meet with Le Yuan. Seeing that his acquaintance was in trouble, how could Le Yuan not help him? Le Yuan quickly stepped forward and blocked the two men.
"Who is it?"
"Is he a ninja from another country?"
The strange tone of voice of the two people, coupled with the dark gray cloth equipment and armor, light chain mail, and the strange pirate mask and turban on their faces, they don't look like normal people's attire.
Argo looked at Le Yuan who was helping her to block the enemy, and she couldn't help but stop. She stood behind Le Yuan, holding Le Yuan's arm and looking at the two people warily.
"Who are those two guys? Did you offend them?" Le Yuan looked at the two men for a while, and then judged from their equipment that these two men were not weak, at least they were above the middle level.
"The two of them are members of the Fuuma Ninja Army. They are a notorious gang when they are on the inside. They develop quickly. When they encounter a monster that cannot be defeated, they will transfer the monster's guidance to other teams, and then escape alone." Then she leaned out most of her body and said to the two men opposite: "I don't want to suffer complaints from you after I sell the information to you."
"Complaining? How is that possible? We will pay the remuneration truthfully. Now hurry up and tell us the news about the extra skills!" one of the men said.
Le Yuan pulled out the sword in his hand, and under the wide eyes of the man opposite him, he stabbed the two of them with the sword. The huge impact knocked the two of them back a long way. One of them couldn't even stand firmly and fell to the ground. Sit down on the ground.
"You, what do you want to do?" asked the man who was still standing.
Le Yuan raised his sword and pointed it at the two of them: "Although you can't kill anyone in the town, if you two are messing around, then I will make it impossible for you two to get up forever."
The standing man suddenly pulled out the curve behind him and tried to use his scimitar skill on Le Yuan. The predator rushed towards Le Yuan. "Qiang" The man who was the attacker stumbled and fell to the ground, " With a "clang" sound, the scimitar in his hand also fell to the ground. The skill just now was knocked away by Le Yuan with a diagonal slash.
Le Yuan held the man's collar, raised his sword and put it on his neck and asked coldly: "Do you still want information now?"
"No, I don't dare anymore, please let us go." His proud sword skills were destroyed in public. How could the man have the nerve to stay here? After being subdued, he wanted to evacuate. Le Yuan said: "Don't let us go again." I see you!" I never want to see these two clowns again.
The crisis was over, and Argo ran out from the side and took Le Yuan's hand: "You took the initiative to help me this time, and I won't pay you any compensation!"
"Of course, isn't it a matter of course to help you?" After Le Yuan said this, he turned his head and looked at where the two men left. He did not notice that Argo's face turned red after hearing his words.
"By the way, I was just about to ask what the extra skills they were talking about were?"
"So, is this the information you want?" When Le Yuan turned around, he saw Argo's dull expression again.
"What, does this embarrass you? Then forget it, let me change the question." Le Yuan said.
"I can tell you, but you have to remember, Le Yuan, don't blame me!" Argo's last words were slightly changed.
"...You must have said this to those two people just now, but if it is really an extra skill, no one will blame you, right?" Le Yuan's question not only did not embarrass Argo, she looked at it with a proud look on her face. Go to Leyuan.
"There is a charge for this issue."
"Forget it, you won't want me no matter what, so why not do something that is not life-threatening?" Le Yuan also understands Argo's temperament, and she will not sell information that could put people to death.
Next, Argo led the way, followed closely by Le Yuan. Argo took Le Yuan to the rock wall of a flat-topped mountain covered with trees on the second floor. Argo took Le Yuan into a small hidden cave and slid down the underground flow like a water slide.
If Argo, an acquaintance, had not led the way, I am afraid that no one would know the way here even until the 100th floor was cleared. After three battles of varying sizes, it took thirty minutes for the two of them to finally reach the third level. At the southern end of the second floor, at the top of the highest rocky mountain.
Le Yuan looked at a hut not far away, pointed at it and said: "The mission target can't be there, this place is too remote."
Argo nodded and headed towards the hut without hesitation. There was no danger at all here. Le Yuan came to the door of the cabin and opened the door suddenly.
Looking at the room at a glance, there are only these few furniture items in the room, and there is a muscular but bare-headed, semi-old NPC with a lush beard. There is also a big "?" mark on his head, which indicates that The beginning of the mission.
"That person is the NPC who teaches extra skills - physical skills. If you want to learn, you can go in." Argo said.
"Physical skills?" Le Yuan said and already stepped into the house. When he walked up to the NPC who was meditating, the uncle suddenly said: "Do you want to get started?"
"Yes!" Le Yuan said.
"This practice is very long and dangerous, isn't it?"
"I'm fearless!"
After a simple conversation, the "?" on the NPC's head changed to "!". Le Yuan's mission was officially activated. The NPC uncle took Le Yuan outside the house. He pointed at a rock that was two meters high and one and a half meters wide. He stroked his beard with his left hand and said, "You only have one practice. Use your bare hands to move this rock." Just break a rock into pieces. As long as you can complete it, I will teach you all my skills."
Le Yuan stepped forward and touched the rock. The cold and thick texture and the pop-up message "almost almost indestructible" hardness feedback reminded Le Yuan how difficult this task was.
Just when Le Yuan was confused about how to start, the NPC uncle suddenly took out an inkstone with his left hand and a huge writing brush with his right hand. At a speed that Le Yuan could hardly react, the tip of the pen was inserted into the inkstone, and was covered with full ink - brush, brush, brush. ! The ink exploded on Le Yuan's face.
As he took back the brush, the same three-stroke beard as Argo's appeared on Le Yuan's face.
Le Yuan was silent. He finally understood why Argo said not to blame her. At this moment, the NPC uncle said in hindsight: "This 'proof' cannot be eliminated until you crack this rock and complete your practice." . I believe you can do it, my disciple."
At this time, Argo made matters worse by holding Le Yuan's face and looking at it again and again. Then he couldn't help but laugh and stomped his feet: "Hahaha, I never thought you would have such a day. This beard is a perfect match for you. . Hahahahaha—"
Argo's laughter became Le Yuan's motivation. In order to get rid of the beard on his face, Le Yuan spent all his time on the rocks except eating. After three days and two nights of hard work, he finally broke the rock. Rock, successfully acquired physical skills.
