The Age of Machines

Chapter 503 Rashomon Chapter
The Great Deserted City of Apelas.

Located at the northernmost tip of Carranth, it is a terrain map dominated by deserts.Apelas is different from other regions. It can be said that in Karan Sri, as long as the name of the region has "city" in it, it has its own special cultural customs.Even the architectural style, or the dressing style of NPCs and regional players, are not constant.

The customs of the Great Wilderness of Apelas are very open. Walking in the city of Apelas, the lights are brightly lit at night and there is a lot of people.In Apelas, there are various taverns at most, and at night, there will be more players walking on the road.

Because most people in Apelas wear short-sleeved long skirts, or short-sleeved short skirts, so that the players in this area more or less have their own dressing styles.

Straight skirts with tights, skirts will have colorful tassels or other ornaments.The skirts of female gamers will be ankle-length, and whether the tube skirts are narrow or wide depends on personal preference.Secondly, female players will also wear a vest, the color is mostly bright colors, very beautiful.

In the wild city of Apelas, the most common professions are priests and warriors.It is rumored that in Apelas, the monsters are very ferocious. Because of their attributes comparable to the relic monsters and various states that come with them, many players complained.

So in this case, there is an increasing need for anti-monster and auxiliary occupations.Over time, it also created the prevalence of priests and warriors.

At this time, the game time is 19:05.

The taverns in the city have already put up business signs, and at night in the city, NPCs will also set up stalls in the downtown area, and most of the walking figures are players.

The tavern in Apelas is not only for drinking and chatting, if the native place (that is, the place of birth) is not the player of Apelas, you can stay in the tavern, and the price is only one silver coin for an hour, and the price is very cheap.

"Hey, yesterday, the mechanical age gave us Karans a good look. When the ranking list of more than 20 120-level gods is pulled out, the formation is really spectacular. I heard that even now Rengel Those countries are not there yet.”

What was done in the mechanical age yesterday is still a topic of discussion even today.In any case, even if Karans is ahead of other countries in a certain sense, they are proud of this, but they are also very embarrassed by the handwriting of the mechanical age this time.

"It would be great if we could enter the mechanical age, tsk tsk."

"Don't think about you, with your scumbag skills, I guess no one will accept you."

The status of the mechanical age is getting higher and higher in the hearts of players, and it has long been promoted by many people as the number one guild in Karans.

"Guest, the wine you want."

Tavern waiters are sometimes both players and NPCs.It is said that in Apelas, players can make money through "part-time jobs", but hotel owners are real NPCs, most of them have to accept tasks before they can do this kind of work, and they also need reputation and level reach the specified value.

After the pocket watch rabbit put down the wine glass, he glanced at the man in black robe. Although it is not surprising to enter a tavern wearing a cloak in a place like Apelas, why do you still wear a cloak when you are already in the tavern?
Some couldn't figure it out, so the pocket watch rabbit smiled, "Guest, do you need anything else?" If players who enter the tavern can order more things, they can earn more money today.

The man in black was holding the wine glass, but he didn't drink it at this time, he seemed to be looking down at the wine glass in a daze, and when he heard her speak, he turned his head to look at her.Against the light, the face under the cloak was somewhat unreal, except for a pair of agate green pupils, which moved the pocket watch rabbit.

In a daze, I heard this person say in a very clean voice: "Apelas, can I play dungeons at night?"

It's a man.

The pocket watch rabbit thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "That's right. At night in Apelas, going out to fight monsters will give you a bonus experience, and there are many props for night vision."

"I heard that here, there is no difference between night and day..."

The pocket watch rabbit covered her lips and smiled, "Well, it's almost the same. There is also a saying "City That Never Sleeps" here, but it's more called "City by Day." Then, the girl put the tray behind her, and a pair of rabbit-like ruby ​​pupils were in the sky. Still beautiful in the dim light of the tavern.

"Guest, where are you from?"

The man rubbed his wine glass, "Breck."

The pocket watch rabbit couldn't help being surprised.

As if aware of her expression, the man looked at her and said softly, "Surprised?"

Pocket Watch Rabbit has a very beautiful face, with a bit of cunning in her eyes, so that she feels, ah, she should be a weird person.

"It's hard to meet a player from Leh. I heard that there are expert players there. No matter how you think about it, you won't come to such a remote place as Apelas easily. You need a lot of money and scrolls..." like this In this kind of place, there is no direct teleportation array from the imperial capital. If you want to go to other places, you need to keep changing the teleportation point, or you need to buy a special teleportation scroll.

"There are not many masters in Lecheng."

Recently, rumors have been outrageous. Players who have never been to the city of Breeze have been "scaremongered", so much so that players who don't know what is going on in the city of Breeze now think that there are countless master players there.

Most people in the mechanical age don't like to stay in Lecheng, after all, they like to work outside.Because there are many markets in Leh, there are naturally many players.But not everyone is a master.

To say that they are all master players is too absolute, and it is easy to fall into trouble.Karans is very big. Although this is just a country in the game, it can accommodate more than 1 million players, so its area must be very large.So too many cities, small towns, and edge maps were separated.But the system is not perfect, so the players are divided into towns in various regions, and have different game adventures.

"Not so much?" Pocket Watch Rabbit was puzzled, "But I heard that there are masters everywhere."

The man smiled, "No. If they are really masters, then Karans is not like you said, there is a city of masters that has already suppressed other countries."

The pocket watch rabbit stuck out its tongue and touched his head. "There is no such thing as a city full of masters, but there must be many of them. Aren't all the people in the mechanical age in Lecheng?"

"Machine Age~ In fact, everyone's definition of a master is different. If it's me, there are only three people at the level of a master."

three?
The rabbit with the pocket watch was surprised, and then couldn't help but look at the man in black in front of him seriously.Who is this person?
To say this so easily, he must be a master player.

"Which three?"

"Beixi, Weishengmo, and Ning Que."

The three talents are the undefeated masters in the true sense.

The pocket watch rabbit opened his mouth, "What about the rest of the legend group?"

The man tilted his head and thought for a while, "No way."

No? Can't anyone in the legend group do it?
"No way. The ranks are so high on the leaderboard, let alone the ranks, the legend group in the top ten of the competitive rankings are at least very powerful masters."

The man shook his head, "Strictly speaking, everyone is still growing." He couldn't stand side by side with those three people.Even among masters, there are differences in how powerful they are, isn't there?

"Are you from the mechanical age?" The pocket watch rabbit couldn't help guessing.

The man pointed to the handle of the wine glass and rubbed it a few times, then whispered: "No."

The pocket watch rabbit couldn't help but widen his eyes. How could he have the confidence to say that?
"Rabbit, here's some wine." The person at the other table interrupted the conversation between the two. The rabbit looked over there, it was an acquaintance.

"Excuse me, what else do you need?"

The man shook his head, his wide cloak swaying in a mysterious arc.

The rabbit nodded, glanced at him again before leaving, and then left straight away.

Until the tavern closed late at night, the rabbit submitted the task to the proprietress of the tavern.As always, he got [-] gold coins.Tavern missions are very profitable, but not every player can take them easily.

The tavern was close to closing, and it was also eleven o'clock in the middle of the game night.After the pocket watch rabbit changed the mission costume, he said goodbye to the proprietress and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he bumped into someone.

"Feel sorry."

It was the clean voice she had heard before, and this voice left a deep impression on her, so much so that she recognized the person just by saying "sorry".

"Ah~ it's you."

The man looked down at her, and the rabbit heard a smile in his tone. "Already planning to leave?"

"It's time for the mission, and it's time for me to go offline and go to bed." Saying this, Rabbit stretched himself. Today is very tiring, and it's not easy to make money in the game.

The man nodded, "Then I wish you a good dream tonight." After finishing speaking, he passed the rabbit and walked to the proprietress. After some conversation, the rabbit saw him take out a gold coin, and then he turned and walked to the stairs, along the way. Walked up the dark corridor.

Who is this man?
With such doubts, the pocket watch rabbit went online quickly the next day, but went directly to the tavern without accepting the tavern quest.

During the day, the proprietress' attitude towards her was very cold, which probably has something to do with her not accepting the task. She stood at the counter without saying a word, and her expression was terribly indifferent.

He asked her bluntly, "Guest, how can I help you?"

"Are there any vacancies?"

The rabbit remembered that after the man checked in last night, there should be no vacancies.

"some."

The girl asked again, "How much more?"

"25 rooms, do you want to check in?"

25? That is to say, there are no players living in all of them, completely empty rooms.

Rabbit couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "Why did you leave so early?" She was still very curious about that man, since he never came from Leh, he must be a powerful person.I wanted to get to know each other, but it seems that I have no chance.

Thinking like this, he left under the indifferent eyes of the proprietress.

"Welcome to our store next time."

"Rabbit."

As soon as he left the tavern, the silver-haired girl rushed over, followed by four or five players.Everyone was smiling, except for the girl, a group of people walked over slowly.

"Ah, Xiaomeng."

Facing the girl, the two hugged each other, and both laughed for a while.

"How about it, did you earn a lot yesterday?" Ningmeng asked with a smile.

"There's only so much money."

While talking, other people also came to them.This is the big team that Rabbit usually stays with. During the day, we can play books and do activities with them, so it can be regarded as a fixed team.When I have nothing to do at night, I will go to the tavern to do tasks.

"Xingxing, your hairstyle has changed again." Looking at the red-haired man in front of the line, the pocket watch rabbit couldn't help complaining.

The man flicked his bangs, "It's a new style, you know I've always pursued fashion, so I have to change it when I get a new hairstyle, right?"

Pocket Watch Rabbit and Ningmeng shook their heads with emotion, "I don't understand your fashion."

Everyone laughed and said, "Let's go, let's continue our mission from yesterday."

While talking and laughing, a group of people left the city of Apelas.

Entering the dangerous red zone, their mission today is to defeat [King of the Earth], O'Guffi.

There are a lot of wild bosses outside the deserted city of Apelas, and there are quite a few king-level ones.Different from the imperial capital, the king boss is very common here, so it also created the skills and equipment of the players here.

"If Ogufi can't fight anymore, let's defend other bosses."

Their captain is a female warrior named 【Zi Zi】.It's hard to imagine that such a gentle beauty like her will become a "strong-backed" warrior player, but this is the way to survive in Apelas.

Ogufi is a king boss at level 112. For them, it is still a little bit reluctant. I tried to fight it last time, but I didn't fight it.If it weren't for the chance to explode a series of weapons, everyone wouldn't be obsessed with it.

Soon, they came to the broken ruins area. After waiting for about 3 minutes, a huge rock monster emerged from the ground, holding a spear, with the scorching sun above its head, and raging flames around its feet.

"Surrender to my weapon."

With a roar, the boss pressed towards the crowd.They all seem to have a good enough understanding. Except for the pocket watch rabbit who is a priest, the others are output and fighters.

Everyone played well at the beginning, at least they played decently, and there was no crisis of destroying the group.But when the boss's blood volume drops to 70.00%, as soon as the runaway state comes out, the stunt falls.With the defense of the day of hoeing and noon, it is impossible to resist.

Once the hatred of the boss is loosened, those crispy occupations can't resist its attack.Soon, deaths began to appear.

Rabbit, as the only pastor, saw someone dead, and quickly revived him. Just after one person was resurrected, another died, and she gradually couldn't react.

Seeing that the captain was also dead, he wanted to save others, but when his eyes went dark, Ogufi was right in front of him, and his spear cut sharp marks in mid-air.

Oops!
With a cry in my heart, the rabbit wanted to run, but it seemed to be dying!
The shield slammed in front of him, blocking an attack, but Augustfi moved too fast to escape.Rabbit sighed helplessly, let's die, anyway, she can't win the boss if she survives.

Simply close your eyes and wait for death.

Just this moment.

The sound of weapons clashing sounded in her ears, and then she realized that she had fallen into a warm embrace.

Inexplicably at ease.

When he opened his eyes suddenly, the man's handsome chin came into view first.

"you…"

Before she could finish speaking, the man waved his arm, and a burst of black broken stars fell, and the rabbit's eyes couldn't help but be attracted.

This is a very strange and cool weapon.The man withdrew his weapon vigorously, and the black cross-shaped weapon was raised above his head to draw bloodthirsty marks. The rabbit saw a large red light wheel rotating in the center of the cross. Afterwards, the man pointed the weapon vertically at the boss, and together The laser bounces and shoots through Augustfi's heart.

35 crits floated over his head, and the rabbit couldn't help but widen his eyes, oh my god.

The man swung his weapon horizontally again, and the rabbit heard him say in a low voice, "Rain and Meteor."

In the next second, countless black needle-shaped rays of light continuously hit Augustufi, and the rabbit felt that it must have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

And that multiplied critical strike is really terrifying.

45, 80, 160 million…

Until Augustfi screamed and fell down, the rabbit still didn't recover.

"Do you mind if I kill your boss?" The man turned his head, put the weapon behind his back, and then asked softly while looking at the rabbit in his pocket watch.

The rabbit came back to his senses and waved his hands again and again.

"If you hadn't saved me, I would have died. Why would you mind...Thank you."

The man nodded, then walked to the boss's body, picked up the dropped things one by one, and then walked to the rabbit.

"These are all for you."

"Huh?" The rabbit thought he heard it wrong.

"Here, I don't need it."

The rabbit was stunned, unable to react for a while.

The man looked at her suspiciously, and then said, "If you don't want me, I'll just throw it away."

"No, it's a waste." There is a sub-legendary in it.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Then give it to me... is it really okay?"

The man nodded, "Of course." As he said that, he wanted to trade things to her, but he thought that neither of them had added a friend yet, so they couldn't trade.

"Add me."

The man said softly.

Rabbit nodded, "Tell me your name." As he spoke, he brought up the interface for adding friends.

"Rashomon."

"Luo Sheng..." Repeating the man's words, the rabbit suddenly realized something, paused, looked at the person in front of him, and stopped breathing for a moment.

"you…"

At this time, the man took off his cloak. His green curly hair was fluffy and beautiful. The man had a clean face in his impression, with regular features and fairer skin than the girl.

Really Rashomon!
Rashomon of the legendary group, the master mechanic!
"It's like a dream."
