The four of thelances with each other They really had no idea how they should interact with an NPC in such a situation
Thankfully, a quest was ultimately still a quest, and the syste 'loading screen' So after a good moment of silence, Courtney still had to turn around and face Gu Fei in the end
”Are you okay?” Gu Fei asked He could not help but feel a little weird saying so like this to an NPC At the end of the day, he was so experience, so there was no way that he could feel convinced acting the part
Courtney seemed to understand Gu Fei's expression of concern, so it nodded Standing up, it was still hugging Angus in its e to do?” Gu Fei asked directly
”I'us,” Courtney softly said
”Where is that?” Gu Fei asked
”Yunjiao Lake,” Courtney said
”We're still going back there?” Gu Fei was taken aback
Courtney did not see behind Gu Fei's words this tius' corpse as she started to onna do if we engage in coain?” Gu Fei was despondent Now that they were aware of what the city assaulters were planning, and it was a collaborative push by all four large guilds, even Gu Fei could not underestiether
”Forget about going to Yunjiao Lake, if the ene into theot a risky solution,” Xi Xiaotian quipped
”Speak,” Gu Fei said
”Let Courtney go on its own,” Xi Xiaotian said
”Oh?” Gu Fei thoughtfully considered her idea
”Wouldn't it end up getting killed off by those guild people? Even though Courtney is very strong, I still think it is ithin the range of NPCs that the players would be capable of killing at their current level It's not any stronger than the Shadowmist assassin,” Royal God Call analyzed
”Indeed, it is not as strong,” Gu Fei nodded
”If we are together and end up buuilds, they are sure to disrupt our quest by any means necessary But if all they see is the NPC alone, perhaps theyto do with it At that point, ould they bother troubling such a powerful NPC for no reason?” Xi Xiaotian said
”But I'uy” Gu Fei was still concerned about Ye Xiaowu ”That guy is a gaame's quests and storyline Take now for an example We have no idea if there would be any follow-up to Courtney burying Angus yet, but I'm positive he would know”
”Then that ood thing to know toohim astray instead”
”What do you mean by that?” Gu Fei said
”Take our current situation as an example We have no idea what's the next step if we do not follow Courtney, but he knows As long as there's a possibility to co us to follow Courtney, he would be convinced we have followed that particular route and think that we ended up changing where our quest would lead us,” Xi Xiaotian explained
”And what if there are no other routes aside from this one here?” Gu Fei asked
”The quests in Parallel World have always had a high degree of freedom, and the different ways of quest execution reat variety of routes to accomplish a quest; this fact has already been tested and proven by many players by now This is especially true for such a co it all the more impossible for it to only be limited by just one path That is why I think with this particular point of the plot, it is completely possible for there to be soive off such a tell!” Xi Xiaotian said
”Are the two of you done with your discussion yet, Courtney is already getting away from us!?” Svelte Dancer shouted
”There are people over there!” Royal God Call was currently looking all around their surroundings and had made a discovery
”Who are they?” Gu Fei asked
”They've stopped , and it's a little hard for me to see here I believe they must be Sharpshooters, sent to observe our movement froood chance,” Xi Xiaotian said
Gu Fei thought about it for a o with that, then!”
And so, the four players no longer took note of where Courtney was going, pretending to walk off in another direction, a steady pace without turning their head back
”What's the situation!?” There were only 3 guild leaders left standing by Yunjiao Lakeside They were not in any hurry to give chase after Gu Fei and the others had departed, but they could not just let the enemy continue their quest however they liked It did not take too long for the guild leaders to each send their Sharpshooters to tail after the for the opportunity to act
The Sharpshooters each e of their own Eagle Eye There was nothing that they could tell aside frouild leaders ca them for an update, which somewhat annoyed these scouts Just what inforuild leaders had ordered them to put their own safety as the top priority, so they were told to watch their targets fro the their scouts to risk their lives and get in closer to learn ?
Nevertheless, there were still players a to sacrifice themselves, ready to creep in closer even at the cost of their own lives just so they could get a better grasp of the situation However, it was at that un to ures on one side, and just a single figure on the other
The solitary figure was headed in their direction, while the four players were going in another direction altogether A the four was one dressed in red and another in black robes; it was evident that Thousand Miles Drunk ith that group there
”Guild leader Here's the latest update: They've split up,” this e was very quickly conveyed
”Split up? What do you roups, four and one That lone figure is headed in our direction and it's getting closer… Hmm, it looks like its that NPC It seems to be headed back to Yunjiao Lakeside, Thousand Miles Drunk and the others are not with the NPC”
”Are they done with their quest?” The 3 guild leaders were astonished Ye Xiaowu had said before that the city defenders would be in danger the moment the quest was completed
”Where are Thousand Miles Drunk and the rest headed?” Oathless Sword asked his underling
”I don't know… By the looks of the direction they are going in… It looks like they are going to a nearby encaed where they were going
”Dmmt!” Oathless Sword jumped to his feet ”Which encampment is this?”
”The one in the southwest!”
After having lost two of their enca an enca a hint about the deed etting all his men to make their way over at this point would be too late, so he quickly contacted the other guild leaders and told the his fellow city assaulters that Thousand Miles Drunk and his friends were looking like they were prepared to secretly ambush another encampment
The players were all in a frenzy They had pretty much caused both of their encampments to fall into disuse as a result of their own self-destructive actions The first time hen Gu Fei and Sword De, which caused the players to uards were the turncoats that needed killing They becae joke after their massacre of the NPCs, and everyone was deeply asha played a part in it It was also these two enca a flahich the city defenders hadfive encauards There were not that in with, so did they even have the ability to mount an attack on the other encah it would have been quite outrageous, no one dared to doubt the validity of this news since the three guild leaders had jointly sent the word out As such, the various guilds organized their ather over by the southwest Encauilds continue to send their Sharpshooters to follow Thousand Miles Drunk and the other three players frouild leaders were clear that there was no way for the coth of the current city defenders to take down the re five encampments by force, yet that was precisely what Thousand Miles Drunk and the others see, so the three could not help but suspect that they otten some powerful reward from the quest they just completed Almost all at the saeable Fleeting Smile had told them about how the players froion's aid after co a hand to theed looks with each other as they shouted out this same line at the saht about just hoerful that Courtney was Could Thousand Miles Drunk and his friends successfully obtained a teaers? An assault with such a power in their hands would truly be capable of annihilating the city assaulters
”Quick! Take note of the surroundings Check and see if there are any NPCs an to instruct their underlings accordingly Meanwhile, while theeveryone, the three did not forget to keep Brave Surge in the loop They had heard that he had just been Honor-killed, so that must have truly been very painful, but there was no way that they would spare hie about this, half of their intention was to rub salt to his wounds, so they can make uy as your friend?” Foe-herder asked
”I'ht now,” Oathless Sword said, he kneho Foe-herder was referring to
Ye Xiaowu had confidently ca himself slain with a clean cut fro rather dejected when he respawned at the enca his way back to Yunjiao Lakeside, he suddenly received ahi next
”Next? That would depend on how they deal with that NPC Did you guys not send anyone to keep them under observation?” Ye Xiaowu asked
”Of course we sent men! Currently, Thousand Miles Drunk and his squad have parted ith the NPC, and it is now heading back to Yunjiao Lakeside, while Thousand Miles Drunk and squad have gone in the direction of the southwest encampment,” Oathless Sword said
