Quadruple split

Chapter 1152 Retrieval

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while...

Well, it was awkward for about five seconds, and then Qiuyue accepted it.

Can you believe she just accepted it? !

"Well, since he is a good person, there is nothing he can do about it."

The beautiful girl leader who loved to join in the fun smacked her lips, and then broke free from Smith's restraint. She turned her head and glared at the latter fiercely, then patted the 'good guy' in front of her on the shoulder: "Haha, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. !”

Mo Tan, who didn't know whether he should cry or laugh for a moment, nodded stiffly, then coughed lightly and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"have!"

Qiuyue immediately grabbed Mo Tan's arm with gleaming eyes and said excitedly: "Lend me your bastard for two days!"

Mo Tan: "..."

Again, despite his quick thinking and excellent eloquence, he could not keep up with the leaping thinking of the girl in front of him, so he couldn't say even a single word for a while.

"Can you calm down a little!"

Smith raised his hand angrily and gave Qiu Yue a slap in the face, then smiled dryly and shook his head at Mo Tan: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." It’s pretty smooth.”

Next to him, the handsome mage Gu Shu with brown hair also nodded and echoed: "And our levels are not very high, and none of us have obtained high-level professions. Even if we really find the murderer, we may not be able to defeat him. .”

Pomegranate didn't say anything, but her little head kept clicking like garlic, and the amplitude was quite violent. Considering that this girl wore clothes that were quite revealing at Qiuyue's request, at first glance she could be called Mo Tan didn't even dare to look at her despite her scanty clothing and equipment.

"Excessive exploration of the truth is not recommended."

Aki Sakaki was as calm as ever and said calmly: "My level is very low, even if I rebuild my character, it won't have any impact."

Smith nodded vigorously and gave Qiuyue another blow: "Did you hear that? Everyone has said so, why are you just messing around here!"

"But Akasaki was killed!"

Qiuyue pouted, stepped on Smith with a look of displeasure, and said angrily: "Is this the end of the matter?"

"Listen up, idiot."

Smith held Qiuyue's shoulders and said with a serious face: "People will die when they live, and this is just a game. Think about what you usually do to Senior Pomegranate, how many times has she died? I haven't seen her yet. Are you going to hang yourself to avenge her?"

"I am going to kill you!"

Qiuyue was furious, and then Smith held her head down with her height advantage, baring her teeth and claws to prevent her from moving forward.

"Ahem, that's what happened anyway."

While suppressing Qiu Yue, Smith smiled at Mo Tan, "Captain Mo, you don't have to worry about us little people."

"this……"

Although I still felt something was wrong, since the people involved said it didn't matter, Mo Tan, as an outsider, couldn't say much. In addition, he was very busy in every sense, so he didn't continue. He insisted on helping, but nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if anything happens, our team will stay at the Linyin Inn in the outer ring area."

"Oh! Then can you, the bastard,... ugh!!"

Qiuyue seemed to want to say something, but Smith covered her mouth and was silenced.

Mo Tan smiled awkwardly and waved to the people in front of him who were quite close to him: "Then, I'll take my leave first."

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Gu Shu, who had just launched an attack on Mo Tan even though he knew his captain was causing trouble, bowed down and saluted Mo Tan with a kind smile on his face, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.

So, after simply saying goodbye to the five people, Mo Tan set out on his way back again. Thanks to Ming Sakaki, who has a good memory, he already knew the route back to Linyin Inn from here. In order to strengthen his memory, he He even sent the specific process to Yi Dong so that he could find his way through the chat records at any time.

"But then again..."

Playing with the [Hundred Dawn] sword form that he had just acquired, Mo Tan murmured in a low voice as he walked: "Are those people really as weak as they say?"

It is true that the current mainstream player group is indeed about mid-level, and the few people who like to join in the fun do seem to meet the requirements of casual players, but he just feels that something is not right.

Of course, this problem must exclude their group leader Qiuyue and the so-called handyman Smith. Mo Tan feels that these two people are probably only mid-level in strength. Smith is a decent middle-level. As for the group leader... well, The level is probably high, and the visual inspection of the equipment is okay, but if it really comes to a fight, with the style of hacking and slashing, someone with a little more skill in fighting can defeat her from below to level up.

But the other three...

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes and first began to recall the wind blade that Gu Shu had swung at him from the darkness.

Theoretically speaking, it is just a low-level magic. Although the strength of the ancient tree's 'intermediate' is much higher, it is still difficult to deal with 'Mo', a character who can occupy a place in the personal combat power rankings. Causing distress.

[But the timing and angle...]

Mo Tan gently rubbed his forehead. He always felt that if it was not a coincidence, Gu Shu's wind blade could be said to be at the pinnacle of control in all aspects. In that case, he almost managed to become a low-level wind blade. The limit of what can be done.

Because Futaba often shares some tips with Black Brahma that are common to both magic and divine arts (however, since the latter is a discipline priest, he hardly uses them), and there is someone beside him who has very, very, very solid basic knowledge. Idong, an old mage who occasionally goes to public spaces to spar with him, is technically a mage, so Mo Tan is quite familiar with the system of spell casters.

According to his judgment, although it may not be accurate, it is at least objective. The wind blade of the ancient tree is a bit too sharp. To put it simply, it is not like a 'low-level magic used by mid-level mages', but a 'high-level magic'. Low-level magic used by high-level wizards'.

Judging from the suddenness and effect, Mo Tan felt that Gushu must at least be a senior mage who had been immersed in the field of occultism for decades, and now relied on the [Spicy Burnt Powder] to suddenly increase his hard power. Jadeka's strength is almost the same, and if you only look at that move just now... his combat prowess is even comparable to Futaba, who spends all day thinking about how to kill himself.

As for the victim, the girl whose game ID is Ming Sakaki, who seems to have been given the setting of 'Messenger of God' by Qiuyue, Mo Tan can't see through it.

Simply unable to see through, completely unable to see through.

Although she is an ordinary girl with three attributes from all aspects, and does not have the aura of a master that you can't even detect after closing your eyes, Mo Tan still feels that this girl is not Not as ordinary as she appears, for unknown reasons.

As for the pomegranate…

That poor girl didn't look special at first glance. She felt like Qiuyue and Smith, a very ordinary, casual and novice player.

but!

Just looking at what she said before, which was obviously a slip of the tongue, "My name is Pomegranate, and I am a marginalized person," the level of suspicion is greater than that of Gu Shu and Ming Sakaki combined.

You must know that Qiuyue's secondary character for Shiliu is a "future person". With Mo Tan's eyesight, naturally he would not think that Shiliu just made a slip of the tongue that day.

After all, he knows that there are indeed a group of abnormal existences in this world who call themselves "marginal people".

So, to sum up, he really couldn't look at that girl with a normal mind, who seemed to be easy to bully in every aspect.

[Forget it, it’s useless to think too much. 】

Mo Tan sighed haggardly and murmured in a low voice: "Instead of worrying about other people's affairs, it is better to think about what to do tomorrow..."

at the same time

Northwest continent, eastern border of Toril city-state, outskirts of Beaver Town

…

[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect...]

"Um?!"

Twenty minutes after leaving the town, he successfully lost his way. The young man who was wandering aimlessly in the wilderness was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked up at the dawn on the horizon: "Who is talking?!"

[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect...]

The unknown female voice sounded for the second time. Although it was pleasant to the ear, it was full of a cold and mechanical feeling.

That was a voice that didn't come from the distant horizon, but sounded directly in my mind!

Subconsciously holding down the long sword at his waist, the young adventurer narrowed his eyes vigilantly. Too many strange things happened today, but even the bard who seemed to have said something to him was not as good as just now. The two sentences that echoed directly in his mind were strange.

[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect...]

the third time.

He took a deep breath on the spot, trying to block out the sound that made him more and more anxious. He removed his hand from the hilt of the sword, covered his ears, and closed his eyes.

Then--

The moment he closed his eyes.

A blurry figure suddenly appeared in the field of vision that should have been covered by darkness.

【! ! ! 】

He immediately opened his eyes again, as if he wanted to prove something.

He succeeded. Dawn is still the same dawn, and the wilderness is still the same wilderness.

But... people need to blink.

Therefore, he blinked subconsciously and once again saw the increasingly clear figure in the darkness.

Not only that, the 'existence' that became more and more familiar to him was slowly turning around.

【no! 】

I don't know why, but a strong conflict suddenly emerged in his heart, which was to prevent him from completely turning around the existence that he could only 'see' after closing his eyes.

Can't!

Don't turn around!

Don't face me!

He stared hard, trying not to 'see' anymore.

The warm wind blew over his bloodshot eyes.

Snow-white clouds covered the looming sun.

…

at the same time

City of Light, Inner City, 12th floor underground of the Chapel of Dawn: Chapel of Dusk, Inquisition

In a certain 'restraint room' that was not luxurious but still neat, and even had some simple furniture and potted plants, the magical runes that had always emitted a steady light suddenly went out.

The limbs were imprisoned by several chains with pale golden runes flowing around them. The figure, which was struggling desperately every second, suddenly became strangely quiet, and continued its illogical rage in the next second.

It is a shell that looks just like an ordinary person at first glance, but as long as you touch it for a few seconds, you will find that there is nothing but endless madness and chaos at its core.

This exorcism wears cloth clothes that will soon become tattered no matter how many times it is changed. It has long messy black hair and is making hoarse roars all the time. It does not need to eat or drink, and has zero physiological needs. Vital signs are very stable.

If... it deserves to be called 'life'.

At least in the eyes of the judges, who come down for inspection every three days, this thing is just a sad freak. Instead of wasting resources by keeping it here, it would be more merciful to purify it directly.

But even the judges, who have very extreme personalities compared to other believers, dare not ignore the orders of Her Majesty the Holy Lady and His Majesty the Pope and give this thing a happy life on their own initiative.

Just keep it closed, it's been quiet here for too long anyway, it's good to hear some noise.

That’s what the officers on duty thought.

But they didn't know that just after the 'quiet' that was so brief that they couldn't be noticed at all, some kind of 'concept' that was not life had awakened.

But after clearly sensing the ‘shadow’ of this matter, I felt a little confused.

What does the great master seem to be resisting?

The great master seems to be in great pain?

Incomprehensible and unacceptable.

Although it is only a shadow, it still cannot tolerate the slightest humiliation of the great being that reflects itself in this world.

Why?

Why? ?

Why? ? ?

The loyal shadow struggled hard. It did not need to deliberately follow the master's orders and maintain its strength at a level where it was absolutely impossible to break free from the shackles, because in this new environment, it had no way to break free from the shackles.

But it does not matter!

This is an honor!

It is a supreme honor!

This is the master's order!

Everything is so natural and logical.

The joy of loyalty's feedback filled Shadow's meager consciousness, followed by uncontrollable anger!

Because it is a shadow, it can feel that its master is in pain!

The pain continues and spreads!

It had no idea why, and in fact, it couldn't do any decent thinking at all.

But it doesn't matter.

That's not what it should be thinking about.

Because the master will no longer suffer any more.
