Chapter 2174 Go or Stay
“What thunder?”
With this question mixed with suspicion and a little surprise, Gahres froze in place as if struck by lightning. The ground fell directly into a state of confusion.
You know, like the vast majority of players, Gahres almost never uses his real name in [The Bound of Innocence]. Although he does not deliberately hide it, there is no reality around him. Wen Qiu, an acquaintance in China, had never asked about this matter. , he asked himself that he had never mentioned his real name to anyone, and the only person who had the information that [Gahres] was [He Lei] was the reason why he got into this game back then. He used the game ID as his [Lancelot] Zhou Si leads a group that is passionate about bullying.
Of course, after being specially recruited by the current school that Zhou Si and others could not even dream of getting into, Gaheres can be said to have bid farewell to the past and stayed away from the nightmare high school life. It opened up a broad road to success for no other reason than the students who graduated from that school were so valuable, and students like him who were specially recruited into the laboratory of a certain academician in their freshman year were even more valuable. Although his mentor, Academician Mu Changchun, has kept such a low profile that it is almost impossible to find him, but even so, if Gaheres can successfully graduate, it is absolutely certain that he will jump to the next level. To put it bluntly, let alone he is indeed very good. Suitable for academic pursuits, even if he is a straw bag, he is still a gold-plated and diamond-studded straw bag of the highest quality. Although his social status is not as high as that of a super-high-class family like Zhou Si, it is certainly not low.
To sum up, in Gaheres's subconscious, the people who can call out his name in the game are definitely Zhou Si and others who he least wants to get involved with and just want to sweep the relevant memories into the trash can. , so the sweat on his head had already dropped before turning his head. However, when he saw the old man walking out slowly from behind Arthur, his eyes widened in confusion.
There is no other reason. The main reason is that Gahres is almost certain that the other party cannot be Zhou Si's group just by looking at their age. You must know that if nothing unexpected happens, the player is in the realm of innocence. The ages in the game are basically in the same proportion as in reality. For example, a 20-year-old player should be a 20-year-old human, dwarf, or dwarf in the game. If it is some pure-blooded elf whose average life span is about 1,000 years old, assuming If the average human lifespan is 100 years for lazy calculation, then it is an equal proportion of 200 years.
In other words, the dwarf old man in front of him must be at least sixty or seventy years old just by looking at it. There is absolutely no way he could be the same age as Gaheres. Although the old man's voice and appearance made him feel familiar. , but for a moment it seemed like I couldn’t even remember it.
But fortunately, as He Lei's mentor, Merlin saw Gaheres' confusion and immediately spoke to answer the latter's questions -
"I am Mu Changchun. ”
Although he is not very tall in reality, after all, he is not the same as the dwarf race in the game. Merlin said lightly, and then gently patted the white coat on his body that was stained with various liquids and blood. The reporter returned to his original clean and white state, and asked casually: "Do you recognize it?"
Gaheres was shocked: "Teacher!?"
End next to Arthur, who was only willing to give Gaheres a piece of noodles just because he asked about autumn, suddenly widened his eyes and whispered: "Oh, haha."
"Eh?"
Just now Wenqiu, who had been coaxed by Arthur, also opened his eyes wide. He hid behind Gaheres and looked at Merlin, curiously asking: "Is this old man your cold-faced and warm-hearted mentor, Brother Lei?"
"A cold face and a warm heart..."
Arthur twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression as subtle as if he had just been forcibly put on Artoria's skin.
“It’s true that I am his mentor, but I am not enthusiastic.”
Mei Linyan replied to Wenqiu briefly and concisely, and then raised his head to look at Gahres again. : "What is your name in this game?"
The latter scratched his hair in embarrassment, and replied obediently with lowered eyebrows: "Uh...Gaheres..."
"Oh."
Merlin nodded casually and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"No...nothing..."
Gahre Si pursed his lips while sweating profusely, and subconsciously moved a step to look at the man behind him. From an objective point of view, he had no morals at all. He had committed countless evil deeds in this game. The tolerant girl stood behind her and said dryly: "Just...walking around..."
Merlin raised his eyebrows and repeated meaningfully: "Walking around?"
< br>
"Well, walking around has no purpose."
Gaheres nodded vigorously, gently pressed Wenqiu's curious little face back, and said seriously: "This child is my relative. , I’m not in good health and can’t go out very much, so whenever I have time, I take her around to see the scenery and so on. The scenery in this game is... pretty good..."
Despite the swollen top of my head. The leaden gray clouds and the indescribable weird atmosphere around him made Gaheres feel a little unsure of what he said, but he still had the courage to explain to Merlin, and strictly speaking, except for himself, he was not asking Qiu. Apart from the fact that the girl was actually an uncontrollable weapon of mass destruction, Gahres was actually quite honest. After all, the two of them had indeed been wandering aimlessly since they left the Northeast Continent. Wander around and get what you need during this not-so-short journey.
Gahres, who was lost and in despair, tried to find redemption in the process of accompanying Wenqiu. In fact, the latter did accompany him through the most difficult period. During this period, some things that had surfaced were silenced again. When Gahres successfully arrived at the school and got to know the instructor Mu Changchun and the senior sister who took great care of him, he was almost completely alone when he was alone. No different from normal people.
Because of this, Gahres has always been grateful to Wenqiu, and will work hard to establish a correct, good and sound outlook on the girl during the journey. However, only he knows it in his heart , it was impossible for him to succeed from the beginning. If he wanted to say the reason, I am afraid that many of the words coming out of his mouth were too pale while the truth remained unchanged.
That was not superficial clumsiness, nor was it the fact that Gahres himself did not act in accordance with the 'correct' actions he advocated, but a sense of inconsistency that could not be explained in words or scientifically proven. ', and precisely because of the existence of this 'sense of violation', the positive significance of Gahres on the Three Views of Qiu is almost zero.
Fortunately, as long as you keep communicating with others or leave the [Bound of Innocence] and enter a state of study, the 'sense of disobedience' that has always tormented Gaheres will disappear for a short time. And it was this phenomenon that made him always feel guilty towards Wenqiu.
Based on this feeling of guilt, Gaheres almost subconsciously protected Wenqiu in front of his mentor, who seemed to have a close relationship with the 'City Breaker', trying to make the latter believe her. She is really just a harmless girl.
But, it backfired——
“Then it must be a hard journey for you.”
Merlin glanced at Wenqiu and asked calmly: "After all, the reputation of necromancers is not good in this world view, and a necromancer who can have a profession like [Evil Plague Master] will probably have to work harder. ."
Gaheres: "...?"
"No!"
Wenqiu shook his head and walked away. Reis jumped out from behind and said very proudly: "Grandpa, look!"
"Well..."
The moment the girl switches her talent to [Innocent Heart], it is no longer possible to detect the 'dead energy' from the latter. Even if [Cane No. 1] is transformed into [Robotic Arm No. 1] and a portable local area comprehensive radar is used, Merlin, who couldn't detect any clues, nodded slightly and said: "Not bad."
Wen Qiu immediately smiled sweetly: "Yes!"
Merlin nodded: "Yes."< br>
Wenqiu continued to smile and said: "It's awesome!" Merlin continued to nod: "It's awesome."
Wen Qiu proudly put her hands on her hips: "It doesn't matter if you praise me more!"
Merlin thought for a while and said seriously: "It's very impressive."
"Ahem!"
In the end, Arthur couldn't stand it anymore. After coughing, he hesitated and said to Merlin: "So..."
"You should have wanted to win over this talented girl before."
Merlin turned his head and glanced at Arthur, and asked casually: "After all, a powerful necromancer can exert a lot of energy at the level of war. In addition, this girl is still young. If she is very knowledgeable in the field of mysticism, Osiris's careful teachings will probably allow her to reach a higher level and become Mo Xiaozi's helper in a short time, right? ? "
Arthur nodded without hesitation: "That's right."
"Then give me some face."
Merlin glanced at Gaheres who looked anxious again, waved his hand and said: "Let them go."
"Okay."
Although Merlin used a negotiating tone, Arthur still followed the latter's will without hesitation, then walked up to Gaheres and showed the latter a kind smile: "You can leave through the north gate. If possible, it might be better to stay away from the Griffin Dynasty in the past few months. If you want to find a place to play, I recommend the Adolf Free Territory in the west. From there, you can take the waterway to Palmyra Port. The scenery along the way should be beautiful. Not bad."
Gaheres nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you."
"Well, we have already gone there."
Wenqiu pouted and said angrily: "Wenqiu doesn't want to walk the same road again, I don't like it!"
"Then go to Griffin. Go short the airship. If you came from the west, you probably haven't been to the Silver Wings Alliance. Although the relationship between the Alliance and Griffin has been as stiff as ever in recent years, people-to-people exchanges are actually quite frequent. It's not only fun over there. There are many places to eat, and you can go directly to the Elf Forest from the east, which is very beautiful.”
Arthur smiled and talked eloquently: "Or hire a mercenary group from the Silver Wing Alliance to escort you north. After passing through the Borderlands, whether it is Red Cloud Terrace, Falls Territory, Georgia Territory or Gold The city is very suitable for people from other worlds to visit. Oh, by the way, the first outer mountain open to the public in Tianzhu Mountain is also good, and in that place, even the necromancer will not be ignored. "
Wenqiu's eyes lit up: "This is great! But Brother Lei seems to have no money to hire a corps, and Wenqiu doesn't have any money either..."
"What a coincidence, I happen to have some extra change here."
Arthur casually thrust a Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce certificate containing 50,000 gold coins into Gaheres's hand, raised his eyebrows at the latter who was about to shirk, and said: "Just treat it as a friend, it's not big here now. Taiping, if we have a chance to meet next time, let’s have a good chat. Don’t worry, I’ll let Master Merlin convert the small money into a favor and give it back to me. If it all comes down to it, I still make the profit.”
Added. Jerez turned to Merlin with some embarrassment: "Mentor..."
"Take it, this little money is nothing to him."
Merlin said lightly, and then after a brief silence, he turned and walked towards the way he came, without looking back. He said back: "You should leave from the north gate and come with me."
"Okay...good mentor!"
Gaheres immediately stood at attention nervously, with his head held high and his chest high. Stand up straight, as if the person in front of you is not a highly respected academician instructor, but a wolf-like military training instructor.
“Yeah.”
Merlin nodded, and then he stood on the small transportation tool he made at random, that is, the metal disk that could be suspended in mid-air and floated forward. The speed was not very fast, and even Wen Qiu could easily follow it. superior.
In this way, under the leadership of Merlin, Arthur, Gaheres and Wenqiu left the east gate, turned around and walked into the city. In the process, Arthur was keenly aware of This was not the shortest way to the north gate of Orkney City, but he didn't say anything. He just walked at the back with his usual expression, relaxed and leisurely.
After the four people walked a distance of about a few hundred meters, as they got closer to the central area, the surrounding environment gradually changed significantly. First of all, a large number of them would definitely appear in the eyes of minors. The harmonious stumps and severed arms were immediately followed by puddles of human tissue mixed together. Liquids that are enough to remind people of a lot of unpleasant scenes. In addition, there are gelatinous objects that are constantly squirming in the streets, with some weird 'wrecks' floating in them. Finally, there are countless people gathered in the central square of Orkney City. Standing up, corpses with hideous expressions and a large number of deformed and twisted remains of humanoid monsters appeared.
When the four of them left the central area under the attention of a large number of Ebon Blade warriors, they arrived at the north gate of Orkney City, which was filled with 'powerful people'. Under the instruction of several warriors, Arthur After opening the door, Merlin finally turned around and asked Gaheres: "What do you think?"
"Huh?"
Gahres, who had been nervous all the way, shivered, and then asked tentatively: "Everyone is... quite serious?"
"Well..."
Merlin narrowed his eyes. His eyes immediately looked towards Wenqiu: "What about you? "Child, what do you think?"
"Grandpa, can you play with it? I promise you won't break it!" >"Okay."
"Wow, thank you, Grandpa!"
"He Lei... No, Gaheres."
"Teacher, you said."
"...You have to choose to stay "Down?"
