Chapter 342 Meeting Exposed
Faced with this player's invitation, Wang Zhifan chose to refuse without much hesitation. The main reason was that he was about to lose patience with this copy now and had no interest in winning step by step. He just wanted to meet directly. Go to the BOSS and give it a hard blow.
Although the two did not reach an agreement, they were still close friends after all. They continued to chat on the grass outside the fortress. Anyway, no one had anything important to do at the moment. One was an unemployed vagrant and the other was just injured. Get better.
“Brother Wang, speaking of which, if you just want to join the kingdom’s high-level professional team, it is not impossible. I heard today that a foreign player succeeded. He achieved high-end status in some way. The trust of NPC forces has already been included in the Demon King's crusade group..."
At this moment, the Gunner player mentioned what he thought Wang Zhifan would be interested in, mainly about the high-end player who he said before the player joined that would face the Demon King directly. group.
"Foreign players?"
Wang Zhifan became slightly interested after hearing this. He knew that at the low-level stage, most people from the same country in the real world participated in the dungeon, but it was different at the middle and high levels. So far he has not seen players from foreign countries in person.
“Yes, at our level, it is not uncommon for foreign players to appear. I heard that he was a master from India. I haven’t found out more details.”
< br>The man nodded and added.
“Whatever, I have decided not to join any group anyway.”
Wang Zhifan knew that this person was encouraging him to plan to join a high-end group, but he had already made up his mind and planned to take a good rest. When the devil came out, he would directly attack him without considering the help of others, because it was very troublesome.
The two of them talked like this for a while, and were about to finish and leave. Suddenly, several carriages with gorgeous decorations and heraldic shields, which looked like they belonged to nobles, drove past the road in front of the lawn, attracting people. got their attention.
"The coat of arms of swords and snowflakes... I know these people, they should be people who work for a grand duke, specifically called Grand Duke Ashed... I can't remember clearly, I only remember that the name is a bit The young gunman, who has been hanging out in this place for a while, lowered his voice and introduced Wang Zhifan next to him, telling him that the people sitting in these carriages were not ordinary NPCs.
Wang Zhifan nodded slightly and did not respond to him further, but if anyone paid attention to his gaze, they would find that his gaze was sweeping across the windows of the luxurious carriage one by one, and the people exposed in the windows. Several profiles.
"These people look familiar... They seem to be the ones I have seen in the tower..."
The reason why he specially observed these passing noble forces was mainly because he found that these people were very important to him. It was not a completely unfamiliar existence, but the team of professionals he had seen in the tower a few days ago.
To be specific, it was the six people he met around a campfire in front of the statue of a head. Among them, the armored man who was more friendly to him was currently sitting in the front carriage, with his head and left eye He was wearing a bandage and looked seriously injured.
While Wang Zhifan was observing these high-level professional NPCs passing by, there was a thin mage with a face as pale as paper in a carriage at the back who was boredly observing the scene outside the window. When his eyes swept across the lawn When he saw the standing Wang Zhifan, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression showed obvious shock.
But he controlled his emotions very well. The next second he immediately turned his head and pretended to meditate with his eyes closed, without showing any more concern for Wang Zhifan.
However, Wang Zhifan's perception is so sharp. Although his eyes did not fall on this person at that time, he captured the feeling of being watched even if it passed by, and he suddenly gained an extra perspective.
"This guy seems to have noticed me just now? But I don't remember talking to him? And we shouldn't have any conflicts...it's a bit strange..."
I feel like this guy The mage's reaction was not easy to understand. Wang Zhifan quickly adopted an attitude of ignoring it. He only remembered that someone noticed him, but he did not intend to react too much to it.
Then the carriage of the nobles slowly left the front of the lawn. This episode was finally over. Wang Zhifan then said goodbye to the young gunman and separated. He planned to go for a walk in this medieval city alone. Relax your mind.
Time passed slowly, and it was another peaceful afternoon.
When Wang Zhifan was relaxing in a hot spring in a hotel, at the entrance of a high-end nursing home in the royal capital, an old man wearing a golden and white robe and carrying a black staff suddenly appeared in the air, as if he was teleported.
He was neither tall nor strong, but he had the aura of an aristocratic old mage. In an instant, the two armored doormen guarding the sanatorium knelt down and said hello in unison.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
The iron-clad doorman called the old man this way, and seemed to be quite familiar with him. After hearing this, the old man nodded to them very appropriately and walked slowly into the nursing home. middle.
Not long after, inside this sanatorium that only high-end people can enjoy, a middle-aged man with bandages still on his head and left eye saw the Grand Duke who came to visit him in the room, and he was excited for a moment. It's beyond words.
He was about to get up from the bed, wanting to greet the Grand Duke who walked into the room, but the other party raised his staff and pushed him back to the bed.
"Marcus, your injury is not healed yet, continue to lie down, don't pay too much attention to the usual etiquette."
The old man in a gold and white noble robe looked at the middle man on the hospital bed. The young man said with a smile, looking extremely amiable.
However, the face of the strong man with only one right eye exposed quickly became a little ashamed, and he replied in a disappointed tone:
"Your Majesty the Duke... I'm sorry, we couldn't be there. Get what you want in the tower... The strength of the giant secret curse statue exceeded our expectations, and I was almost beaten to death by it... In the end, I was able to pass the level with the help of Adams' explosive potential..."
The middle-aged man, who had a good impression on Wang Zhifan, told about their difficult adventure with memories flashing in his eyes. When he mentioned the so-called secret curse statue, a painful expression appeared on his face. , it can be seen that it is an existence that has given him a lot of torture.
"It turned out to be the young man Adams who played the most critical role... It seems that his talent is indeed very high. I didn't make a mistake."
The old man who is both a great noble and a great mage There was a clear expression on his face and he made a faint comment, as if he didn't care much about the failure of these elite men.
"Your Majesty the Duke... we are willing to be punished for our arrogance and incompetence..."
The middle-aged strong man Marcus on the hospital bed looked uneasy when he saw this, and hurriedly Suggesting that they are willing to accept punishment is the inevitable consequence of failing to complete the task.
But after hearing this, the old mage slowly shook his head and said in a slightly playful tone: "No need, you have done your best within your abilities...and some of the things I want are He has been taken out of the tower... Marcus, do you know who that is?"
The old man with a deep and majestic temperament stared at the bandaged man on the hospital bed. A strong young man, he seemed to know something.
"Someone took the treasure out of the tower?! This is impossible! No...could it be the people who killed the tower guards?!"
For a moment, Marcus remembered After their team went through all kinds of hardships to get through the tower and return to the ground, they found the strange thing that there was no one around the tower. In the end, the people who came to support happened to arrive, and they concluded that the original guards had been eliminated by the group.
"Yes, my prophecy tells me that the person who killed my guard was the one who took the treasure."
The old man in the white gold robe nodded after hearing this, and continued to look at Maku Si said:
“Think again, I The prophecy also revealed that you should have seen that person before."
"I...I have seen it? And are you sure there is only one person?"
Marcus was suddenly surprised. , personal experience tells him that this kind of thing is not common sense.
Because of the power that can make a team of well-equipped guards disappear, there is a high probability that it will be a powerful team.
But his trust in the old Duke made him have to think about things in this way. In this way, a figure that he ignored appeared in his mind, but he felt that the other person did not seem to be suitable. .
"Your Majesty, Duke, we did see a young man dressed in strange clothes before entering the last level of the tower. I judge that his strength should not be weak, but he entered the giant secret spell in front of us. statue passage, and then the passage reopened in a very short time, indicating that he definitely died in the passage Daoli, it is impossible to be the person who cleared the level and took away the treasure... But except for him, we have never met any other adventurers who have reached the upper level."
Marcus explained the situation of the person he suspected most. At the same time, he said that this person is also the one he least suspects. After all, the dead cannot take away the treasures in the tower.
However, after listening to what he said, the old Duke gave a response after a moment of thought, pointing out the flaws in his judgment.
"Marcus, have you ever thought that the Secret Spell Statue Passage quickly reopened after that person entered, just because he passed the pass too fast, not because he died."
"This , This is impossible! The secret curse statue is extremely powerful, and our entire team almost exhausted all our strength to destroy it! There is no way he can clear the level in such a short time!"
The middle-aged man almost jumped up as he spoke, completely unable to accept the old Duke's inference.
After all, he is someone who has personally experienced the strength of the Secret Spell Statue. Even an elite team like them is so tortured and extremely dangerous. What does it matter if others can speed through them? A bunch of pure trash?
"Marcus, tell me, do you remember what that man looks like?"
The old Duke ignored the middle-aged man's reaction and then asked him the question he was most concerned about.
For a moment, Marcus's face showed a bit of despair. He knew that the old Duke chose to believe that the man had passed the last level of the tower quickly. In front of this old man with high authority and top personal strength, He didn't dare to have too many emotions, so he thought for a moment and replied: < br>
"Your Majesty, I still remember the appearance of that young man. I will definitely recognize him if I see him again."
"I need to extract your memory to make an image..."
The old Duke replied immediately, his tone unquestionable.
But before Marcus could react to this rather excessive request, a younger and slightly frail man's voice came from outside the room. You didn't need to look at anyone to know that the speaker was the one he mentioned before about breaking out at dangerous moments. Adams’ potential saved the team.
"Teacher, there is no need to retrieve his memory. I saw that person on the way here today. He is currently in this city."
I saw that the person who came was exactly Wang Zhifan noticed the pale and skinny mage young man in front of the fortress earlier that day. He still looked not in good condition, but he could move freely and did not need to lie on a hospital bed.
"Adams, you have somewhat forgotten the etiquette that a noble should have...but now is not the time to discuss this issue. Are you sure you did not identify the wrong person?"
By this young mage After hearing this, the old Duke, who was called his mentor, slowly turned around and looked seriously at the tall and thin young man standing at the door of the room. The other person could suddenly interrupt their conversation, and it was obvious that he had been listening in for a long time through some means.
"Sorry, tutor, I will definitely take up etiquette lessons when I get back."
Adams immediately gave a response to offending them, and then said in a decisive tone:
"I can use my I swear on my honor, it's definitely him! According to my inference, he may be a superpower hiding among the common people, or he may have some special means to deal with it quickly. Get rid of the secret curse statue."
As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus's strong objection came from the room:
"Impossible! Adams! Killing the secret curse statue in a short time! Even the Duke himself can’t do it! And that person looks younger than you. Could he be more powerful than the Duke at less than thirty years old?” br>
"Didn't I say that this person may have special means?"
Adams was unhappy when he heard this, and then presented evidence to prove his point of view:
"Big man, you still Remember what we saw in the passage I didn’t see the adventurer’s body at all! There was no trace of his clothes or any suspicious blood! If he died in the passage, I didn’t even see the strange weapon or fragments! will appear! This shows that he is absolutely normal. Leaving the passage! We all underestimated him!"
After hearing what Adams said, Marcus was slightly stunned. In the previous passage battle, he was under too much pressure as a wounded tank. Big, I don’t have the energy to pay attention to these, my thoughts They were all thinking about how to get through the life-and-death crisis in front of them. Now that they thought about it, the mage companions were right. They had been fighting in the passage for so long without seeing any traces of the man, which showed that he had indeed passed the test smoothly. In some way they couldn't imagine.
After the two argued, the old Duke, who was listening on the sidelines, spoke to Adams again:
"I need to know everything about this person."
