Volume 4 Blood Diamond Chapter 308: Winery is equal to restricted area
Early the next morning.
Outside Jack's Winery, four or five players from the Heroic Spirit Pavilion gathered, both male and female.
"What if we make a mistake? We won't be caught in the asylum, will we?"
"What are you afraid of? Let's go."
After a brief exchange of words, the few of them went straight to the gate of the winery.
Bang bang!
One of the male players named "Smoke Bomb" slammed the iron gate twice, but after a long time, no one came out and the winery was dead silent.
"Why is there no one here? That's strange... I saw people coming in and out yesterday."
The player knocking on the door looked confused.
At this time, two more teams of players came here, with about a dozen people in total. The three teams of players looked at each other warily.
"Hey, brother, you guys are here to see Mr. Jack too, right...?"
The leader of one of the teams of players asked.
The people in Yingling Pavilion looked at each other, but shook their heads in denial.
"No, we're just here to see if there are any side quests."
"Come on, there's nothing to hide. In fact, many players in Peacock City already know that Jack Circus has come here and even performed in a theater in the city center..."
The leader, whose name was "Her Shop was inlaid with Diamonds," smiled and continued.
"We just want to try our luck and see if we can join this force... I heard that Boss Polaris is a member of this organization. Speaking of which, we haven't even started the main quest yet. Your Heroic Spirit Pavilion is a big guild , you won't even give us this little chance, right?"
Then, he looked at the last team of players and said to them:
"Brother, please say something too."
The leader of this group of players was called "Old Age Unknown". He was silent for a few seconds and then spoke up:
"Well, we also want to join the circus... If you, the Heroic Spirit Pavilion, plan to rent out the entire place, then we might as well just have a fight here."
Upon seeing this, several people from the Heroic Spirit Pavilion immediately communicated through the team channel.
They found that the two teams of newly arrived individual players were both around level 15, which was the average level of the players. Although their own level and equipment were ahead, they were not extraordinary players and were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, so there was no need to conflict.
So Smoke Bomb laughed and said:
"You are too prejudiced against the Heroic Spirit Pavilion. We are not like the Lost Name Guild, who bullies others by taking advantage of their power..."
He then pointed to the winery gate and sighed.
"We are willing to cooperate with you, but unfortunately, there seems to be no one in the winery today. I knocked on the door just now, but there was no response from inside."
"Cooperation is a win-win situation. No, it's a win-win situation for all three parties..."
Diamond inlaid chuckled.
"It's okay, we can just climb over the fence and go in... We're just taking a look anyway, we're not going to steal anything or rob them."
He waved enthusiastically at the unknown and the smoke bomb.
"Come on, let's go in together."
As he spoke, he took a few players around him and climbed over the two-meter-high spiked fence into the winery.
Seeing this, Smoke Bomb and Unknown simply followed the advice and followed closely.
After all the players entered the winery through the fence, they walked along the path while looking at the quiet and beautiful environment.
"I heard that the circus is more difficult to enter than the Orthodox Church and the shelter."
"Yes, as far as I know, most of the players who can join the circus are masters... but there are also some who started to rise after joining, and now they have become regular visitors to the top 100 of the rankings."
"There's a rumor going around that not only can you buy extraordinary knowledge and some extremely cost-effective equipment and props directly at the circus, but there are also special independent dungeons where you can go in anytime and anywhere to fight monsters and level up... That's why those big guys are making ridiculous progress."
"Zhao, so awesome?! If we can successfully join, maybe we can take off too!"
The group of players were chatting and laughing.
But soon, they all stopped.
Because three tall black puppets suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Look! What is that?!"
Diamond yelled.
"Black Crystal Artisan Puppet?!"
"Deep red danger level! How could there be such a monster in the winery?!"
"Don't just stand there, run, they are chasing us!"
Smoke bomb quickly reminded.
Having said that, he turned and ran with several players from the Heroic Spirit Guild.
Upon seeing this, the other individual players also retreated along the way they came.
However, those tall black puppets looked bulky, but they were actually quite fast. They stomped on the ground with a dull thumping sound, and chased relentlessly. Their dark eyes glowed red, as if some killing mechanism had been activated.
One of the black crystal puppets raised its hand and aimed at the diamond inlay. A black and red lightning instantly spurted out from its palm and hit the opponent's back directly.
Puff——sizzle!
With a snap, Diamond only had time to scream before he was killed instantly and turned into white light and disappeared on the spot. The others were so frightened when they saw this scene that they ran even faster.
But they soon discovered in despair that four or five terrifying black crystal puppets had appeared on their escape route, blocking their retreat.
“You can’t run away!”
Smokebomb yelled.
"Take action to restrict them and see if there is still a chance!"
He and his companions tacitly stared at one of the puppets, took out their flintlocks and pulled the triggers. After a few bangs, the bullets hit the puppet.
Dangdang...!
Sparks immediately flew from the puppet's head, chest and abdomen, but they were intact.
The resistance of the players was completely futile and they were finally surrounded.
"What the hell is this thing? I can't even defeat it...!"
Smokebomb's expression was horrified.
The rest of the players also felt powerless. They were certain that any one of these Black Crystal Dolls was an elite-level monster that was not something that the players at this stage could defeat head-on.
Anyone who encounters it will die!
Seven or eight black crystal puppets raised their hands towards them without any hesitation, and glowed red in front of the frightened eyes of the players.
Puff! !
The red lightning struck intensively, and more than a dozen players were killed instantly without any suspense, and all turned into white light and disappeared.
…
…
…
After several players from the Pavilion of Heroes were resurrected, they reluctantly returned to the entrance of the winery.
Here, they met the Diamond and Unknown teams again, and there were even two more teams of players, all of whom were independent players.
After some communication, we learned that these people also came here following rumors.
The extraordinary force of Jack Circus is well-known among the player community, and can even be compared with the Orthodox Church and the shelter... Not to mention that the first batch of extraordinary people in the public beta were born here. Now, the top-ranked individual player "North Star" is Mr. Jack's student.
Now that the circus has arrived in Peacock City, there is no player nearby who would not want to give it a try. Maybe you can become the second North Star and reach the pinnacle of life from now on.
"We all fell on the road before we even saw Mr. Jack. Those big black guys are so damn scary! If you run into them, you'll die..."
Diamond said somewhat speechlessly.
"Let's try again, but we must learn from our mistakes this time and not be discovered by those black crystal puppets... I suspect those monsters are patrolling guards in the winery. Once they find outsiders, they will eliminate them."
Smokebomb said.
“That makes sense…”
Unknown nodded.
"In that case, let's split up and sneak in... As long as we can reach the main villa inside and see the NPC of the circus, it will be considered a success."
"Okay! It's decided!"
Smokebomb agreed to the proposal.
“We will definitely succeed this time!”
The others also nodded and smiled.
Five minutes later.
Faint screams and crackling sounds of electricity could be heard from the winery.
Then there was dead silence.
Everyone appeared at the entrance of the winery again, and everyone looked a little ugly.
They discovered that no matter how careful they were, they would eventually be discovered by the black crystal puppet in the winery, and then given a red electric shock, and instantly killed and sent back to the resurrection point.
"There are more and more people... I don't know if they didn't come. They must have given up ."
Smoke Bomb looked at the many players at the entrance of the winery and sighed.
At this time, Diamond came to his side and asked in a deep voice:
"How's it going? Do you want to try again?"
“No…”
Unexpectedly, Smoke Bomb shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"I only have one chance to revive, and I was planning to go to the suburbs to upgrade... Although I died on the way just now, I saw an NPC standing at the door of the villa."
He sent a blurry screenshot to Inlay via private chat, which showed a blind blonde girl in a black dress.
"Is this Jack's nun?"
"Yes, our mission has been completed. All we need to do is confirm that Mr. Jack is in Peacock City... I wish you good luck."
Smoke Bomb shrugged and left with his companions from the Heroic Spirit Pavilion.
But he knew very well in his heart that it was not only the Diamond-studded group, but also the other players gathered at the entrance of the winery. It was not realistic for them to join the circus, let alone meet Mr. Jack.
There had been quite a bit of noise just now, so the circus would definitely know that someone had entered the winery, but Mr. Jack still hadn't shown up. It was probably because their level and strength were not high enough, or their regional fame was not up to standard, so they did not meet the conditions for joining, and were not even given the opportunity to interact.
"Alas... the distance from the entrance of the winery to the villa building is only a few hundred meters, but in reality it feels like a chasm."
Smoke bomb sighed.
Afterwards, he sent the results of his investigation to Vice President Dongyang.
"——Vice-Chairman, it has been confirmed that Jack Circus is in Peacock City. The station is a winery, but there are many robot guards called 'Black Crystal Artisan' inside. Their strength is comparable to that of elite monsters. There is no way to contact them at all."
…
…
…
After personal testing by countless players, it was discovered that the winery in Peacock City is simply a terrifying place that is impossible to cross.
Jack Circus is so close yet so far away.
Some players even call this winery a restricted area.
After hearing the news, high-level players like Polaris, who were far away in Amber City, shook their heads with some regret. The two cities were separated by a state city, and with their current abilities, they didn't know how long it would take to get there.
Obviously, I won't be able to see Mr. Jack in the short term.
But they didn't expect that just the next day, when they entered the wonderland as usual, they saw that familiar and kind figure in front of the wooden house.
"teacher!"
Polaris looked surprised and shouted quickly.
"Mr. Jack?!"
Dongyang and others were also a little surprised.
