The Endless Abyss of Online Games

As the sun set, a ray of sunlight slipped down the eaves, casting a half-bright and half-dark light and shadow on the beautifully curved chin of Selos, like a meticulously drawn painting, so beautiful that it was a little unreal.

Shen Ce never expected to meet Cyrus here. Ever since Hatar asked him if he had seen the demons, he had become more suspicious of Cyrus' identity.Shen Ce randomly stopped a black-clothed armored guard, then pointed to Sailuosi and the middle-aged man not far away: "Hi, I'm here to ask to see the Lord City Lord, who are those two people?"

The serious-looking Xuanyi Jiawei was a little surprised when he heard Shen Ce's words: "Who are you talking about? The middle-aged man on the left is the city lord. As for the other one, I don't know." The armored guard in black turned and left.

Shen Ce didn't expect that middle-aged man to be the lord of the city. He stood there and looked at the two of them. The mystery in his heart was getting deeper and deeper - to become the lord of a city, the level of the NPC must not be low. If Cyrus is For the demons, how could the city lord not find out?

As if feeling his attention, Cyrus glanced at the place where Shen Ce was standing, Shen Ce was stunned for a moment when the two looked at each other, but Cyrus quickly looked away.

Most of the time, it is the middle-aged man who is talking, and Selos occasionally expresses a sentence or two. No matter in his actions or speech, Selos is very restrained. Aristocratic style.And the middle-aged man either laughed loudly after listening to what Cyrus said, or nodded from time to time, and seemed to agree with Cyrus' opinion very much.

After a long time, the middle-aged man and Selos finally finished talking. Shen Ce hurriedly walked forward and gave a shallow salute to the middle-aged man: "Hello, Lord City Master. I want to establish a trade union. Please give me a chance, Lord City Master."

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes to look at Shen Ce, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Young man, there are quite a few people who have come to me recently to ask for the establishment of a trade union. Do you think you have anything special about you?"

Shen Ce lowered his head slightly, his expression was respectful and sincere, and he placed his right arm on his left chest: "I am a priest, and I devoutly follow the guidance of the God of Light. Everyone go to a brighter front." These lines are Shen Ce's usual lines when dealing with most NPCs, and against his serious expression, it seems that there is such a thing.

Just as Shen Ce finished saying this, he suddenly heard a slight laugh. Shen Ce glanced around him out of the corner of his eye, and found that Selos did not leave, but looked at him with his arms folded, his eyes narrowed a bit.

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, with the majesty of a superior in his tone: "Young priest, you are very good, I seem to have heard about you from the old priest. You can establish a union, but you must help me complete it first." One thing, I will give you two choices, one is to find a piece of dark blue heart and give it to me, the other is to help me kill the evil snake in Xueya cave, which one do you choose?"

Shen Ce raised his head and said without hesitation: "I choose the latter."

The middle-aged man glanced at Shen Ce's thin body in surprise, as if he suspected that Shen Ce would not be able to complete the task: "Young man, that vicious snake is very powerful, do you really not consider the first task?"

Seeing Shen Ce nodding his head firmly, the middle-aged man showed an appreciative smile: "Then I will wait for your good news. This task is very difficult, and you can find another partner." Then the middle-aged man said walked into the house.

"Ding——you trigger the B-level task 'kill the red-crowned double-headed snake on the snow cliff', the task time is 15 days, this task can be completed by at most two people, I wish you good luck."

After Shen Ce successfully received the task, he walked towards Selos who was standing quietly by the side. He looked at Selos hesitantly, and for some reason, he directly asked the biggest question in his heart: "Are you a player?" It is only a little better than asking if the other party is an NPC. If Cyrus is really an NPC, it is undoubtedly very rude, and he may be directly blacklisted by the other party.

"You don't think I look like me?" Selos raised his eyebrows at Shen Ce's scrutinizing gaze, his deep black eyes showed a faint purple color, which made people suspect that it was just his own hallucination.

Shen Ce exhaled lightly, he adjusted his breathing, for some reason he always felt that being in front of Cyrus was more stressful than the previous city lord, at least he knew that the city lord must be an NPC, but the person in front of him made him completely unable to see through .

Shen Ce silently looked at the other party's eyes that were as deep as mist -- if Cyrus is really a player...

Shen Ce thought about it, and Shui Linglong's proposal flashed in his mind, and he said a ridiculous and bizarre idea like this: "In this case, Selos, are you interested in doing the task I just took with me? ?”

Recalling the amazing skills of Sailos back in Frostleaf Plain, if he is a player, then at present, no one Sailos is more suitable to complete the mission with him.

"Kill the snake?"

Hearing Sai Luosi's tone of rejection, Shen Ce was a little disappointed as expected, but he didn't have any hope, after all, he didn't know whether the other party was a player or not.

Just when Shen Ce thought that Selos was going to refuse, the corners of the masked man's lips raised slightly: "Why not?" This pastor dared to question him, it was more interesting than he imagined.

"Ding——Player [Silos] accepts your mission invitation. I wish you and your partners a smooth mission."

When Shen Ce heard the five characters of the player Cyrus, he thought for a moment that he was hallucinating, but when he opened the quest scroll, there was indeed another name besides him for the quest recipient below, and those three characters were indeed Cyrus.Now that he knew the identity of Cyrus' player, the weird feeling in Shen Ce's heart finally receded, and he secretly laughed at himself for being careless before.

Now that they have become mission partners, the next thing to talk about must be Shui Linglong's suggestion, Shen Ce hesitated for a moment, he knew that some people are very serious about getting married in the game: "Siros, do you have someone you like? "

Silos didn't expect Shen Ce's topic to change so quickly, he was silent for two seconds, staring at Shen Ce with piercing eyes: "Could it be that you fell in love with me at first sight?"

.....................

Shen Ce's originally calm expression almost cracked because of Sailuosi's words, he rolled his eyelids: "You think too much, I just want to ask if you got married in the game, because the snow cliff is steep and difficult to climb , I want to use the 'Flying Wings' in the husband and wife skills to go up first, it will be easier."

The smile on Sai Luosi's lips did not change, but Shen Ce suddenly felt that the atmosphere became stiff in the second half of the sentence.Shen Ce frowned, he didn't say anything to anger the other party, did he?Even if Cyrus doesn't want to just say it, they can still find other ways to go up the snow cliff.

"You mean it's just a game, so everything can't be taken as real?" Selos pursed his lips, and his tone suddenly became sharp.

Shen Ce was a little unclear about Sai Luosi's stern attitude, so he said, "The marriage is only temporary, and you will leave as soon as you finish the task. No one else will know, and it's completely fine for you to find someone else in the future..."

Sai Luosi's eyes were heavy, as sharp as a cold sword out of its sheath, which made Shen Ce very uncomfortable: "As you wish."

Shen Ce also had a cold face because of Cyrus' insincere attitude, he looked directly at Cyrus, and said in a calm voice, "It's fine if you don't want to, there is more than one way to go up the snow cliff."

As soon as the words fell, Sai Luosi looked at Shen Ce probingly, and laughed without warning.Just when Shen Ce didn't understand why a person could change his face like turning over a book, Cyrus pulled him directly and walked out of the city lord's mansion.

Shen Ce wanted to shake off Sairos' hand, but due to the priest's weak physique, Shen Ce was shocked to find that he couldn't break free from Silos' restraint.When he was about to yell at Silos to let go, Silos glanced at him impatiently, crushed a scroll in his hand, and two people appeared outside the church in an instant.

Looking at the magnificent church building, Shen Ce felt extremely complicated - he seems to have found a real local tyrant?The intra-city teleportation scroll for a single person is very expensive. I didn't expect that Cyrus actually had one for two people to use together.

Although he couldn't fathom Cyrus' thoughts at all, Shen Ce didn't care about it anymore.The two walked into the church together, and after reciting the marriage vows according to the routine procedure, the smiling female priest in white looked at Shen Ce and Sailuosi: "Congratulations to you two for successfully becoming a couple, may I ask you to make an appointment?" Church weddings and custom wedding rings?"

Shen Ce shook his head expressionlessly, and the female priest's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time she saw a player marrying and rejecting these two activities: "The two of you want to customize a wedding room?"

Although the marriage procedure in "Across the Sky" is very simple, as long as the two parties finish the marriage vows, it will be fine, but in that case, the favorability of both parties will only be 30, and the husband and wife skills cannot be activated.Although church weddings, exchanging wedding rings, customizing wedding rooms, etc. are extra actions and cost a lot, they can directly improve the relationship between husband and wife, which is much faster than doing daily husband and wife tasks.

"Need not."

"Is there any manor in the suburbs? Let's get one."

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, making the female pastor think that the couple came here to tease her.
