return to edgar

() Because he is still studying, Yuan Ye can't sleep all day like Link, who lives alone, for fear of arousing suspicion from his family.

Seeing that the phone number showed that it was brother-in-law, he hurriedly connected.

"Hey~ You finally answered the phone. Lin Li has told me about it many times. I think she will go to the rental house to find someone in person in a few days."

"I'm fine, but I can't get away from the task."

"Your secret mission has been tossing for so many days, and it still hasn't been done?"

"Soon." Link was ambiguous, and he couldn't tell the truth to Yuan Ye, who couldn't hide the secret, "What did you say about that Pan En?"

"Ask Dawei."

"Who is that?" Suddenly hearing a strange name, Link asked again, "Dawei?"

"It's Pan En, his real name is Pan Dawei. Haha~"

"Speak the truth."

"Okay, okay, I don't know what stimulated him, that is, when you said you were going to do a secret mission, you suddenly changed jobs and said you didn't want to be an assassin anymore."

Because of the failure to recover Su Wen's Noble Phantasm of Destiny... Link bit his lip, because I caused him to change his job.

"Have you been in touch recently?"

"Yes, but I can't get in the Novice Village where he cut off the re-training." Yuan Ye told Link his mobile phone number, "He is an otaku just like you, and the time difference is just the opposite of ordinary people. He will get up at about 11 o'clock for a meal. , you only need to find him at that time."

I glanced at the wall clock again, it was 8:10, it was still early.

Ask Yuan Ye to tell Lin Li to retreat to write a new book by herself, and not to go home for dinner for the time being.After hanging up the phone, Link took a good shower, ordered another bowl of noodles, and went for a walk for half an hour.When I came back, I looked through the diary left by Su Wen again, and after confirming that there was no useful information in it, I called Su Wu and told him that there was no new progress at present, and asked him to wait for good news, and Su Wen's soul would be liberated in a short time.

While chatting, Su Wu suddenly asked if something happened to Gonzalez, why Link didn't mention the Spaniard?

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Link had no choice but to tell the truth.

"He's not that kind of person." After a moment of silence, Su Wu said.

"I know." Although we didn't spend much time together, Link knew that Gonzalez would never do such a thing of betraying his friends. If he was like Yan Dong, he had already rebelled, so why wait until now.

"Could it be an undercover agent or something...infiltrating the enemy."

"Is it necessary to risk your life to break into the enemy's interior?" Link disagreed with Su Wu's guess.

"Then why did he choose to become an undead? If the body dies in the game, isn't it also dead in reality?" Su Wu reminded Link.Yan Dong is actually in poor health. Maybe the reason why he chooses to seek refuge with Death is because he wants to continue his existence in Edgar. Maybe... Gonzalez also betrayed with the same idea?

"Do you think it's possible? Gonzalez suffered from some terminal illness. Didn't he behave abnormally before his rebellion?"

"Indeed, it's a pity that I don't have his contact information." After Link said, Su Wu also felt that the possibility was extremely high.

"Does he have any other friends, I mean in-game?"

"I rarely meet him in the game. After all, the difference in rank is too great. I don't know him very well. I told you before that he is not the type who will share everything on his mind. You can ask that dwarf. ,what do you say that is?"

"Dante?" Link's heart sank, and even Dante couldn't remember it. It seemed that Su Wu's memory was indeed gradually fading away.

"Yes! He is Gonzalez's forging instructor. If you ask him, there may be unexpected gains."

After finishing the call, Link fell into deep thought looking at the dark night sky outside the window.

If you can release a soul like Su Wu's by successfully uncovering Frost's true face, wouldn't it be equivalent to obliterating Gonzalez's wish to live in the illusion... No matter what the reason for him becoming an undead, he is the enemy of the Son of Nature .Then, how should I face him?

Time passed quickly in Link's confusion, and when he came back to his senses, it was almost 11 o'clock, and he dialed the number Yuan Ye gave him.

"Paine, I'm Link."

"You're not dead?" After a moment of silence, a young voice came from the phone.

"Sorry, I... lied to you."

"Necessary for the plot? It's okay, it's good for people to live."

"It's not...I..." After a pause for a few seconds, Link confessed to him about the boots.

Until the ins and outs of the whole incident were finished, and there was no answer on the phone, Link held his breath and waited for the upcoming scolding.

"You don't have to feel guilty, you've already surprised me by telling me. Really, I don't blame you, and thanks to you, I've rethought the way I want to play this game."

The voice on the phone was calm, without the excitement as imagined, let alone scolding.The hand holding the phone tightened unknowingly, and Link couldn't hide his excitement.

"How are you doing recently? You really are going on a secret mission. I always thought you were trying to hide that kid from Yuan Ye."

"It's going very well. I will go to the Great Church soon. I heard that you are there."

"Hey! You want to come? People outside the sect are not allowed here at all. Oh, by the way, you are a child of nature. Recently, Dawn just formed an alliance with the Alliance of Nature. It's late, I have to go online. If you have time in the Great Cathedral You can find me in the Martial Arts Hall on the outskirts, I usually train there, it’s so boring, and you can also be my training partner by the way.”

After dealing with the things in reality, Link quickly fell asleep. After 4 hours outside, there were only two days inside. Birdman should wait anxiously.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Hull. He was crossing his chest with his arms folded, and his anger was about to materialize.

"Blay crossed the line of law."

What do you mean, Link didn't turn the corner for a moment.

"What the hell happened in Hohenheim?"

After understanding this sentence, Link told Hull how he got on the ladder, met Bray on it, the conditions he proposed, and even went back to the past.

The birdman's expression fluctuated with his explanation, and finally fixed on the relief.

"Do you know who the skeleton that almost grabbed you was?"

"Reaper?" Although he used interrogative sentences, Link had already identified it as Reaper.

"That's right, God of Death Hicks, everyone knows that he is one of his strongest second-generation gods, but few people know that he is not the manager selected by the first generation."

Hull's words made Link, who was sitting up straight from the hammock, pause, "You mean... he is actually the third generation of gods?"

"Not only that, he was originally the apostle of the Pillar of Water, one of the earliest humans who became the Son of Nature. He disappeared during the chaos of the gods, and reappeared as a three-generation god."

This is a big revelation. I didn’t say it before because I was afraid that I would become the second Belfast, but because I was afraid that I would become the second Hicks.If it hadn't been for Andrea and the trials on the ladder, I'm afraid Birdman wouldn't have said it yet.

"You...are you not angry?"

"I'm not angry." Now Link felt that his and Paine's positions had been reversed.He was still used to being called Paine, and Dawei couldn't get used to it no matter how he heard it.

After a moment of silence, Hull told Link that he had already contacted the Great Church, and that he would fly directly there without passing through the portal.Departure and arrival times do not need to be announced in order to avoid mistakes.

"Do you want to set off immediately? Or do you train for a while?"

"Let's go now. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us." There is no point in not being able to level up without magic.Link was afraid that he would be more prepared for the frost and cold during the month of his delay in Hohenheim, "I'll go by myself this time."

"you sure?"

"Well, if I go by myself, Frost Han won't be able to use prophecy, and if you escort me there, he will be able to predict the route instead."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news here."

Before leaving, Link sorted out his personal belongings. The three secondary space bags were the smallest one belonging to the Necromancer. Fearing that Frost would track him from this object, he took out the contents and reluctantly destroyed them.Su Wu and Gonzalez’s are all materials that are temporarily unusable. Although he has the same concern about Gonzalez’s space bag, Link thinks twice and still keeps it, and moves all the ore to Lena’s one. In the treasure of fate.Unexpectedly, the seemingly small bag filled with all the ores not only did not change in appearance, but also did not increase in weight. Curious Link put the enchanting materials in Su Wu's space bag into it, and the result was the same.

Is it because it was made by a peak mage, so the storage capacity is particularly large?

Unable to reach a conclusion, he could only ask Birdman.

"Lena's?" Hull took it and flipped through it carefully and said a word: "Black hole."

"What?" The appearance of such scientific words in the fantasy world really puzzled Link.

"I said this thing is called a black hole. It is a strange thing made by Lena herself. I have heard of it before. It used to be a famous strange thing in the mage world. Remember how to use it. Put it with your left hand and take it with your right hand."

Calling such a strange name, maybe it is meant to imply a huge stock. I remember that there is a 24-grid bag called a portable black hole in the Warcraft game.No, Lena died ten years ago. At that time, there were no Warcraft, and it was impossible to choose such a strange name just because it sounds good, high-end domineering and other reasons.

Thinking about it, Link suddenly exclaimed "Oops."

Realizing that he had made a big mistake, he hurriedly put his right hand into the cloth bag, but he couldn't touch anything, and the pocket was empty.

Without the magic jingle of fate, the treasure of fate would not recognize his ownership. He really wanted to cry without tears. So many enchanting materials and ores could only be taken out after absorbing Lena's magic jingle of fate.

Before going to the Great Cathedral on his back, Link first ran to Longyan Castle and asked Dante if Gonzalez had any other friends, even if they were acquaintances whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

"My friend is not very clear, but I haven't contacted acquaintances for a long time. There is one in the Cathedral." The dwarf's words made Link happy, "His name is Leo, he is a high-ranking priest, and I heard Gonzalez talk about his previous adventures. As I mentioned, since he came to Longyan Castle, he has rarely been in contact with him."

Link, who flew away from Longyan Fortress, thought that the companions who are adventuring together must be players. Now he hopes to know about Gonzalez's recent situation.

ps: The pace is a bit fast, and I could have added more branches and detailed descriptions, but I just can't slow down...
