In a small alley in Vermilion Bird City, Lin Yi’s figure suddenly appeared.
However, to Lin Yi’s surprise, there was nothing in the alley.
Lin Yi furrowed his brows, muttering to himself:
"Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
For this reason, Lin Yi checked all the houses in the alley, but aside from encountering several bewildered native inhabitants, he found nothing...
"No, sothing’s wrong!"
Lin Yi suddenly returned to one of the houses he had checked, and two native inhabitants looked at him in surprise, seemingly puzzled by his return.
Lin Yi went directly toward a small partition he had missed earlier, only to find nothing but clutter.
Lin Yi asked one of the male native inhabitants:
"Did a woman co in just now?"
In his haste earlier, he forgot to ask.
These are not traditional ga NPCs, the native inhabitants can answer players’ simple questions as long as they don’t break the ga rules.
The native inhabitant hesitated for a mont, finally shocked when Lin Yi transford into the Elf King:
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Elf King."
Lin Yi repeated the question, and the native inhabitant nervously nodded and said:
"There were two."
"Two?"
Lin Yi muttered to himself in bewildernt:
"Who was the other one?"
Could he have made a mistake?
Perhaps noticing the confusion on Lin Yi’s (Elf King’s) face, the young male native inhabitant truthfully said:
"Both were Chosen Ones, one was masked, and their appearance was unclear."
Lin Yi was taken aback, there really were two.
Then Lin Yi quickly asked: "Where did they go?"
Since passing by, he had seen no trace of them, they couldn’t have left through the main entrance.
Moreover, Lin Yi had checked, and there was no so-called back exit.
Initially, Lin Yi thought there might be so secret passage here.
However, the man shook his head saying: "I don’t know."
"Don’t know?"
Lin Yi was stunned:
"What do you an?"
The man took Lin Yi to the storeroom and explained:
"We saw two Chosen Ones enter here and never co out."
"And shortly after, Your Majesty ca here."
The man’s answer left Lin Yi utterly perplexed.
After carefully checking the storeroom and confirming there was no hidden passage, Lin Yi couldn’t help but wonder: Could they have left by so space magic or scroll?
Thinking of this made Lin Yi furrow his brows.
If there really is so space magic or scroll, wouldn’t a single door be unable to stop them?
But that can’t be right!
Isn’t it that those with keys can’t use any teleportation magic?
Then how do you explain this?
While Lin Yi was feeling thoroughly puzzled, an elder suddenly spoke up:
"Your Majesty of the Elf Race, perhaps I have a clue that can help you."
Lin Yi looked at the other in surprise:
"What clue?"
The elder said:
"Since Your Majesty is a Chosen One, please forgive . Before I answer, please help complete a task."
Simultaneously, Lin Yi’s ga panel showed a quest:
"Intelligence from Elder Holden."
[Accept][Decline]
Lin Yi imdiately chose: [Accept].
Then he found the quest in the tasks tab, and saw that completing the task required giving the elder 50 gold coins.
Lin Yi’s face darkened; what kind of clue is worth 50 gold coins?
Just as Lin Yi hesitated whether to give it or not, the elder suddenly said:
"Believe , Your Majesty the Elf King, this piece of intelligence is definitely worth the price."
"Of course, I believe you."
Complaints aside, Lin Yi was generally generous when it ca to problems that could be solved with coins.
Then Lin Yi paid the 50 gold coins and clicked to [Submit Task].
At the mont the task was completed, the elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if lost in so mory, and he revealed a piece of news that made Lin Yi’s heart leap.
The elder softly said:
"Among the two Chosen Ones just now, if I’m not mistaken, one should belong to the Witch Race from the Western Continent."
"Witch Race!"
Hearing this news, Lin Yi almost blurted out in shock.
Global integration is not yet open, how could soone from the Western Continent’s Witch Race co here?
Is it possible, like him last ti, they were teleported here by so special quest?
Seeing Lin Yi’s astonished expression, the elder curiously asked:
"Your Majesty knows the Witch Race?"
Lin Yi:
"I know a little."
The elder stroked his beard and smiled:
"That’s good."
"Actually, I don’t know much either, just that it’s a race abandoned by the gods. If you are enemies with them, I advise you to be very cautious."
Lin Yi respectfully bowed and said:
"Thank you for the information."
As one of the few special races of the Western Continent, Lin Yi certainly knew about the Witch Race.
During his previous life, when Lin Yi went to the Western Continent for quests, he often saw the battles of Witch Race players.
Within the profession structure of the Western Continent, the Witch Race’s strength is generally considered upper-middle level.
Black Magic was essentially popularized by this so-called Witch Race.
At the sa ti, this Witch Race was one of the races judged and fled from in the Hundred Races City.
If it’s the Witch Race, Lin Yi roughly understood why they disappeared.
In this world, besides space magic teleportation arrays, there’s also short-distance position shifting constructed by Black Magic.
This also explains why Fu Chen could know about the secret passage that left the old city ruins.
"Witch Race?"
A knowing smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face.
If it were the Corpse Demon or Fear Demon races of the Western Continent instead, Lin Yi might only have a vague understanding.
But since it’s the Witch Race,....
Lin Yi pondered for a mont, thinking: I hope it’s not too late.
Outside Vermilion Bird City, a player suddenly pointed at the sky’s Nightmare, enviously saying:
"Creation rcenary Corps, how cool."
A Nightmare descended from the sky, and a player noticed the person dismounting from the Nightmare’s back, exclaiming:
"Divine Thief Tian Ci! What is he doing here?"
After Tian Ci landed, amidst a chorus of discussions, he swiftly entered stealth, disappearing from everyone’s view.
anwhile, elsewhere, the sa scenario unfolded, but this ti the main character was Red Eyes.
The simultaneous appearance of two Divine Thieves outside the city only caught the attention of a small part of the crowd, and after a while, the matter fizzled out.
After all, there were too many things capable of causing a commotion in Vermilion Bird City tonight.
...
In a private room of a tavern in Vermilion Bird City, Little Priest Devoted Lolita, with her head down in sha, said to Fu Chen:
"I’m sorry, I ssed things up."
"It’s not your fault, if not for Feng Hua’s Elf Dragon, our plan would have succeeded already."
Fu Chen looked at Divine Hall Yingying on the side:
"Now all exits are blocked by them. Is there a way to get out of the city?"
"Or should I arrange people to create so public pressure, so that other players put pressure on them?"
"Public pressure? Heh..."
Divine Hall Yingying looked at Fu Chen with a hint of disdain:
"These people only dare to oppose them when they are masked."
Seeing through everything when it happened, Divine Hall Yingying had already realized:
"If they were to unmask, this event would have nothing to do with us."
Having accompanied Divine Hall Madman for so many years, she had a crystal-clear understanding of players’ humanity.
Therefore, Divine Hall Yingying imdiately vetoed Fu Chen’s suggestion:
"It’s impossible to get them to compromise through public pressure, but you can use this thod to cause them so trouble."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen’s eyes lit up:
"Do you have another way out of the city?"
Divine Hall Yingying:
"Just focus on creating trouble for them, leave the rest to ."
"Alright!"
Just as Fu Chen was about to head out, Divine Hall Yingying suddenly said:
"By the way, arrange for soone trustworthy to prepare to transfer the keys."
Without turning back, Fu Chen left, saying:
"I’ll arrange it imdiately."
