Chapter 8
I stared at the air in front of me without saying anything for a long time. In my heart, I sincerely admired the courage of that guy. He actually dared to use the random movement scroll here!
The random movement scroll of "Magic Flag" is designed very strangely. It is called random, but it always moves inexplicably towards the direction of Qilian Mountain, whether in the northern continent of elves or the southern continent of humans. Therefore, we old players jokingly call it "death scroll".
This knight named Faca actually dared to randomly pick a fight here. This is the foot of the Qilian Mountains! This guy will 99% go into the Qilian Mountains. There are monsters there that are 10 or 20 levels higher than him. It seems that he would rather fight those monsters than be stabbed by me, although the final result is almost the same.
I put away my weapon and turned to ask the member named Crybaby Jasmine, "Why are you here at level 21? Isn't this a place where you can level up?"
"I, I, I..." This pretty girl was very shy. When she saw me wearing the highest level four-leaf golden rose of the Rose Group, her face turned red and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak. Am I so majestic?
The Order of the Rose Knights wear red rose emblems with no leaves, two leaves, three leaves, and four leaves depending on the rank of the members, while the cadres wear golden roses.
"Hey, beautiful lady, you are a Taoist priest by profession, not a crowing rooster. Stop crowing and go back quickly." I don't think I can get anything out of you in this way.
"I'm not a rooster. I just wanted to see the scenery and take a picture. The man just asked me to sell him medicine, but I didn't, but he kept chasing me..." The little beauty was about to cry, her big eyes blinked and misted. Her name was really appropriate, but she finally spoke intermittently, although her voice was smaller than a mosquito. Fortunately, I was a thief and my hearing was always very good.
"No wonder, he is so red that he can't even enter the supply point. I caught a little Taoist like you and I can make medicine for him." Players with deep red qualifications cannot enter the various supply points such as villages, towns and cities. They can only ask friends to bring medicine, or find a Taoist to exchange with raw materials they have dug themselves. The alchemy learned by the Taoist at level eight can use specific raw materials to make various levels of injury medicine and magic medicine.
"Are you good at English?" I asked curiously. I noticed that the knight just now seemed to be speaking "bird language".
"Well, the knight said he was French and connected from the European server." Crybaby Jasmine spoke a little more normally, but her face was still very red. Haha, I've never seen such a shy girl.
You are really a foreigner. I thought you were a domestic "banana". Although it was announced half a year ago that "Magic Flag" would implement international connections, foreign players started late and their levels were generally low. No one was willing to come to the Chinese area to play as a trumpet. In order to ensure fairness, the official deliberately set up a retrograde blockade. Foreign players can enter the Chinese server game at any time, while domestic players are prohibited from entering overseas servers, so that domestic high-level players will not be happy to "massacre the city and destroy the country". Then "Magic Flag" will not have to do the international market. After all, domestic players are not only high-level but also account for more than 85% of the total number of players. They can crush the opponent with just people.
"By the way, what did those words he said to me mean?" I remembered what he had shouted at me.
"He said that thieves can only attack from behind..." Nonsense, among all the seven skills of a thief, only the sneak attack skill learned at level 20 is an active attack skill. What else can he use if not this one? The others are all auxiliary.
"He also said you were the meanest thief he had ever seen." Despicable! How dare you say that to me? Humph, next time I see him, I'll teach him a lesson about meanness. Damn it, I'll suffocate him to death with a thunder array.
I coaxed and frightened this shy two-leaf rose back to the village, and left a message for my sisters at the lord's mansion, explaining in detail what happened tonight. Since meeting this interesting little rose and that "foreign friend", my mood has improved a lot. I ran back to my "construction site" and saw that the group of NPCs were still knocking loudly. There is no Environmental Protection Bureau in the game, and no one cares about the problem of night construction. Let them knock, I will log off and go to sleep.
In the morning, I walked into the office humming a little tune while carrying my bag. As soon as I entered, I saw a beautiful white-collar lady sitting in my seat. The sunlight shone on her from the window next to her. What a beauty.
"Good morning, Secretary Lin, are you coming down to check on the work?" I walked up to him and greeted him with a fake smile, but my heart was in turmoil.
"Good morning. I'm passing by on my way to deliver some documents. I came in to take a look. What? Are you not welcome? " Lin Yuerou stood up and walked to me with a smile.
"Haha, how can that be? It's my humble honor to have the president's secretary here, how dare I not welcome him." I said indifferently.
"Did I do something wrong? Or did I offend you accidentally? You seem to hate me." Lin Yuerou put away her smile, stared into my eyes and asked.
"No, no, I'm just a small clerk and I can't speak. You're overthinking it." I didn't dare to look at her. My eyes wandered around. I even doubted why I said that. This was not what I originally wanted to say.
"Is this how you treat a friend you haven't seen for a long time? Or are you just targeting me?" Everyone could hear the sadness in his tone.
"No, no..." I stammered, unable to explain anything. The situation was very awkward.
Hearing footsteps beside her, Lin Yuerou turned and walked towards the door without saying another word.
"Well, where are you going?" I blurted out subconsciously, but then I realized how dare I ask someone like that? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Unexpectedly, the figure who had already walked out of the office paused.
Then, a voice filled with anger was heard.
"I'll go pick up a brick!"
I once read a psychology article that mentioned that teenage boys who are just beginning to fall in love will deliberately anger the girl they like in order to attract her attention. My current behavior and mentality are very similar to what is said in the article, just like a fool.
Am I still a "teenager in love"? Tsk! Just imagining myself gives me goose bumps.
I know that's not the case. The reason should be my first encounter with her in the company. Although I tried hard to think positively, that scene still led me to dirty things.
I don't know how to face it. The best way is to ask her for clarification. However, if I really expose the worst scar,
Then, both she and I would be in so much pain that we couldn't accept it. I couldn't face such an ending.
What happened today may not be a bad thing. It wiped out her newly born good impression of me, and also cooled the hazy longing in my heart. Although this is an act of escape, but when I am not ready to face everything, let me escape first.
Even though, like a coward.
It took me more than an hour to deal with all the work at hand and adjust the "doorbell" in the monitoring system. It's better to be careful than to make mistakes. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble if my supervisor made me "comfortable" while I was enjoying the game.
Turn on the virtual helmet and connect to "Magic Flag".
The ups and downs of the world are created by our generation. Once we enter the world, time will pass by quickly. I am still serious, but this is a brand new seriousness.
I had just gotten off the bed in my new room and before I had time to appreciate my new nest, a flood of messages flew out of my mailbox like a fountain, even more spectacular than the time A Zi "framed" me.
What's going on? I opened the briefcase-shaped message storage system and sucked in all the white envelopes in the room. I glanced through the directory and was almost furious.
There were hundreds of messages, almost all of which were empty messages titled "Is the stupid thief here?" posted by the beautiful cat with poor sense of direction not long ago.
I opened the secret channel in a rage, and saw that the cat was also open.
"Kitty, what are you doing? Why are there envelopes all over my room? Are you sending congratulations on your new home? Each message costs one magic coin. Next time just send the money directly. There's no need to waste it like this." One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins or one thousand magic coins.
"Ah? The stupid thief is here? Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, the stupid thief is here..." It seems that she is not alone. But, what's wrong with this girl? Why is she calling sister-in-law in the secret channel with me? She should change the channel first.
"It's serious. There's a thief near the village. He might be very high-level. He's using stealing skills everywhere. We can't catch him. Come quickly." Soon, the sister-in-law's anxious voice came. It seems that the cat has reacted.
Among humans, there are two ways to deal with high-level thieves. One is to use a magician.
When a thief uses the invisibility spell learned at level 28, other professions cannot attack him, but he cannot move or speak after becoming invisible, otherwise the invisibility spell will be invalid. So at this time, only the mage's range magic can "blind" the invisible thief, such as the level 20 sea of fire, the level 28 tsunami, and the level 36 wind wall, but the disadvantages are also obvious. First, the speed cannot keep up. If the thief gives up the invisibility and runs away, the mage can only stare at him. Second, there must be a rough range, because magic also has a range limit.
The second is thieves against thieves.
In this case, the difference in equipment and level is often fatal. However, if one party suddenly becomes invisible during the battle, the other party can only call on the magician for help.
"Sister-in-law, I think it is somewhere. Gather a few mages. I'll be there soon." I'm the only thief in the whole Rose. It would be really troublesome if a hostile high-level thief suddenly shows up. However, now in the whole "Magic Flag", the only thief who can fight against me is probably the GM. Among all the players, I'm definitely the best thief in the world. Hehe, here I come.
The approximate location was outside the village, so I headed straight for the coordinates given by my sister-in-law. When I got out of the village, I saw a lot of things thrown into several minefields.
There were weapons, equipment, potions, and everything else. This thief was quite interesting. After discovering the thunder array, he threw all the stolen items into it. This not only emptied the space bag so that he could continue to "commit crimes", but also made the victims unable to get anything back.
Wow, what a smart thief. I like him.
When I arrived, my sister-in-law had already gathered more than a dozen members, most of whom were mages, including seven or eight three-leaf rose mages. My eldest brother was circling around the periphery on his warhorse. Although he could barely catch up, it was limited to a straight-line distance, and the knight's hit rate was questionable.
The mages kept casting spells, hoping to drive the invisible thief out, but it was not that easy in such a large area.
I held my poison-infused assassination crossbow in the center of the approximate range so that I could launch my attack as quickly as possible, no matter where the thief was.
Just as we switched to team attack mode, a scream came from the left. I turned around and saw that it was the crying Jasmine from last night. Was she here to join in the fun too?
"There seems to be something there. I, I bumped into something." Crybaby Jasmine pointed at the open space not far in front of her and shouted.
Just as she finished her words, a poisoned arrow appeared out of nowhere and accurately pierced her shoulder. A stream of blood spurted out and Crybaby Jasmine fell on her back.
Sneak attack! And it hit the target with one strike! Fortunately, it wasn't poison, she just turned light green.
Screams were heard everywhere, and several quick-reacting mages nearby quickly cast detoxification and recovery spells on Crybaby Jasmine.
These are the two signature skills that a mage will have when he or she changes his job to level 5, but detoxification cannot cure the rogue's strong poison. If someone is poisoned, except for the knight, everyone else can only drink a strong antidote to "quench their thirst", and the rogue is no exception.
As soon as I saw the arrow appear, I knew I had found the target, and I rushed towards it quickly.
The air in that open space suddenly rippled like water, and a figure that was gradually becoming clearer quickly fled into the distance. I stared at the thief, gradually closing the distance, and habitually estimated the opponent's information in my mind.
He doesn't know poison, so he should be no more than level 36. However, the sneak attack that nailed Crybaby Jasmine just now was successful. Even though Crybaby Jasmine's level was a bit low, a successful sneak attack was too accurate. With my level, when I didn't have the four points of luck bonus, the sneak attack would only hit one in seven on average. This thief either has very good luck or has equipment that increases luck, but the latter is more likely.
Hehe, okay, buddy, I'll use my stealing skills on you later to see what good stuff you have.
As the distance got closer, the figure became clearer.
Pointed ears, a slim and standard figure, and neat rises and falls - this thief was actually an elf!
