Chapter 458 - The Wandering Giordano

Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Fei and Yan Xiaozhu had spent a full hour hunkered down up the wall However, that did not seem to affect Gu Fei's concentration in the least, as he continued to observe through his spyglass with one hand anda quill The lass, as overwhelmed with boredom at the side, only had the diary to kill tiamer, so she found such an endeavor to be extremely pointless If she wanted to read a novel, it would be a lotin her bed instead of crouching atop a wall

“Hey, are we really gonna stay here for six hours?” She regarded Gu Fei with lingering fear, for the , be it in terms of his skill or his ine herself staying put in a place for over an hour with so a word, yet that was exactly what she found herself to be doing today She had wanted to strike up a conversation with hied to curb her urge each ti how focused he was only made her feel that any attempts on her part to converse with hi the very atmosphere present However, after a full hour had passed by, she was already at her very lio mad if she did not break the silence

“I did say six hours lance at her when he answered and just continued to maintain his eyes on the NPCs in the courtyard The stationary guards were a done deal, but there were still a few patrolling guards he had yet to fully note the routes of After all, the courtyard was rather large, and the field of view covered by the spyglass was limited, which ue everything

“Do I have to stay here that long, too?” she whined

Gu Fei finally tore his eyes off the spyglass to look at her “I don't recall anyone begging you to stay, and it's entirely your decision to tag along”

Yan Xiaozhu was speechless She truly regretted her choice Curiosity truly killed the cat, but hoas she to know that she would chance upon such a boring task with such a boring person?

“This is so boring!” She wanted to get up and stretch her back, but before she could reach full height, he stopped her with a suppressed bark, “Don't move unnecessarily; squat down!”

Yan Xiaozhu was in tears; she could not even stretch her body!

“You can leave first!” He took out a coil of rope and passed it over to her “Secure it properly before you slide down”

Yan Xiaozhu did not take it It was not that she had not thought of leaving, but at the end of the day, she was still really curious and wanted to see just what this weirdo would do eventually

No longer daring to stand up, she could only crawl over to his side and crooked her neck over to read what he had recorded in that booklet of his That hen she suddenly asked, “While the NPCs would strictly adhere to their patrol routes without fail, what about those players fro the premises twenty-four seven as well, and they don't stick to their patrol routes like those NPCs” Rather than languishi+ng in her boredoht as well join in This hat Yan Xiaozhu was thinking when she voiced out her rather fundamental opinion

“Isn't that why I'ht now?” he asked rhetorically

“Has Giordano appeared?” she asked instead

“Nope” Gu Fei looked at the horizon and saw that it was nearing evening in-gah it would not be entirely dark, the players' vision would still see a significant i in the dark of night, he still needed to see if the activities of these NPCs would be affected by the descent of night

“You know; I can help you find out what time Giordano comes out,” Yan Xiaozhu offered

“I don't think there's a need for that! We'll see for ourselves in the end,” Gu Fei rejected Since this was so he could find out by himself, he did not wish to raise any suspicion on theothers unnecessarily

“Hey, it's out; that looks to be the NPC!” Speaking of the devil, a figure was spotted exiting the doors of the Govern about Giordano

“I see it,” Gu Fei said The position he had chosen allowed hi without the use of the spyglass While taking note of the other NPCs, he had never once eased his attention to the doors He had already registered the presence of this figure the moment it stepped out of the doors; was there even a need for Yan Xiaozhu to call his attention to this new arrival?

“Is that Giordano?” He had no idea if that was the new arrival's identity

“It seems like it” Yan Xiaozhu did not dare to confirlanced at that NPC back when she waswith the crowd

Gu Fei focused his spyglass on to that figure whom they suspected as Giordano The least he could do was take note of how this figure looked since there was a high chance of it being his assassination target

This figure stepped out of the Government City Hall and sloent down each step of the stairs A stir went around those players fro nothing, which confiran to take note of Giordano's looks; the tall and stocky NPC was a rather handsoht above itsby its waist, with its left hand resting on the hilt; each step it took was measured and forceful

Gu Fei was a little worried at thiswere to take the initiative to ask Giordano for the progress of the mission, would that mean that Giordano would immediately head back into the Govern the relevant information? He hoped that Giordano would demonstrate the staunch hardiness found in NPCs and would strictly stick to protocol and its progra, unaffected by the actions of the players around it

Fortunately, the scene unfolded more or less as how Gu Fei had hoped When Giordano appeared, thedid react to it, yet none of them stepped forward Their eyes followed Giordano as he took each step and began to wander in the courtyard

Gu Fei's gaze followed accordingly, his hand s Meanwhile, there were quite a few changes to the movement of all the NPCs the moment Giordano appeared Gu Fei moaned inwardly when he saw this, for that ht Since the NPC guards would act differently when Giordano was present, he would need to take note of the new changes that occurred once his target NPC was present, and that meant he would have to spend even more time

The only good news from this was that players were unable to affect Giordano's aze over the whole courtyard once and discovered that severaltoward a certain spot within the courtyard A thought sprang into his lass over to theseMaple, and Drifting were also a these people

“This guy, oes?” Gu Fei instantly recalled how Drifting had joined The Black Handhoerful this man was, it was only natural for hiroup he wished to be part of In fact, there was probably a whole host of people ould seize this chance So this guy is actually a Job-hopping King! Gu Fei thought to himself

Just as he had suspected, the position where Three Sighs of Flowing Maple and the others ended up in was the exact sa its way to Giordano had stopped twice during this stroll and interacted with the other NPCs in both instances The third tian to engage with the players, probably to announce the current progress of their current quest

Following this, the attention of the players faded as Giordano continued along his stroll, stopping for the fourth time to interact with another NPC

After this, Giordano turned round and headed back directly into the Government City Hall

“Is… Is there any chance to strike?” Yan Xiaozhu had also been watching the activities below this whole time and saw clearly that the NPC coazes; a chance to assassinate Giordano simply did not exist

“It's still early too early to throw in the towel,” Gu Fei said Froh observation moments before, the route that Giordano chose did not have any obvious spots for concealment, so it see anyone

Perhaps, it is not that it doesn't exist, but that I have yet to find it! Gu Fei thought to himself as he ain With that, he began to keep all the items he took out into his dimensional pocket Yan Xiaozhu was elated when she saw this, “Are we leaving?”
