Ice and Snow Fortress, General Merville’s Mansion.
The accidental death of Rudy Merville had left the magnificent and luxurious General’s Mansion without its owner and made the NPC mansion, which was rarely visited, even more deserted.
At this time, a brown-skinned orc with a thieving brow and a rat face arrived in front of the General’s Mansion. This was a large manor of Western European style. It was located within the area of the leader of the Ice and Snow Fortress. It could be seen that Rudy Merville’s status among the orcs was not low.
However, the death of this general did not seem to have caused much of an impact. The players of the Ice and Snow Fortress did their own things as usual, and the Virtuous Gathering Pavilion did not do anything unusual.
The orc looked left and right, then knocked on the door. There was no response, so the orc circled around the General’s Manor and discovered that there was another door behind the manor. It should be the back door.
However, the back door was also tightly shut, unable to enter. The orcs couldn’t think of any way to enter for a while. However, at this moment, two players were walking through the back door. The orcs hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Brothers, do you know how to enter General Merville’s Mansion?”
“Huh? You’re not a player of the Frost Fortress?” A player named Red Storm replied curiously.
Another player called Green Tide smiled and said to the orcs, “You don’t look like a player from the Ice and Snow Fortress, Actually, General Merville’s Mansion was not allowed to enter, However, recently, some people discovered that Zuo Xianneng, the Guild Leader of the Xian Gathering Pavilion, could freely enter and exit. Therefore, many people were very curious about this General’s Mansion. However, early this morning, there was news that General Merville, the owner of the General’s Mansion, had died unexpectedly. Zuo Xian did not come here again. There must be no more secrets. Brother, don’t think about any fortuitous encounters. ”
“How about this … Have you heard of any other NPCs in the General’s Mansion? Other than that general?” The orc looked regretful when he heard this, and then asked.
‘”Yes, you are not a player of the Ice and Snow Fortress. You really don’t know. In fact, the reason why this General’s Mansion is famous is not because of that orc general, but because of his wife, that orc girl named Shirley. Don’t think that she looks like you just because you heard that she is an orc. In fact, she is a great beauty!” Red Storm replied hurriedly, with a face full of Brother Pig.
“Big … big beauty? Orc beauty?” When the orc heard this, he immediately revealed a strange expression.
“That’s right. That beautiful orc goes to the Monster Restaurant in the center of the city at 12 o’clock every day for a drink. However, brother, don’t think about her anymore. There are countless players in our main city who want to obtain concealment missions from this NPC, but no one has succeeded. So this is just an ordinary NPC citizen.”
“I see. Thank you, thank you!” The orc’s eyes lit up as he bid farewell to the two kind-hearted players and left.
“Sigh, another pitiful fellow who has been dreaming of concealing quests all day long. But with so many players in China, how many people have received concealing quests?” Seeing the orc leave, both the red storm and the green tide shook their heads helplessly.
Obviously, the orc was Xu You. Xu You was the orc. After coming out of the City of Sunrise Imperial Palace, he came to the Frozen Snow Fortress and ran for Old Man Chen. He had always misunderstood this old man who was still alone. Xu You felt guilty, so he naturally had to work harder.
However, in Xu You’s opinion, This mission should be very difficult, This was because Old Man Chen had already given him a lot of “mission rewards” in advance. When he received this “mission”, Xu You’s intuition was not very good. He always felt that this would be a tragedy. However, after Xu You arrived at the “Monster Restaurant”, he actually found Shirley like this. This orc was leisurely drinking wine, not like a woman who had lost her husband.
Shirley was indeed an orc, But when Xu You saw Shirley, who was already very cunning, he had no choice but to admire the beauty of this NPC. Shirley was different from an orc with a strong body and a fierce appearance. Although she wasn’t tall, she was curvaceous and full of envy. Her appearance was also beautiful and elegant. Unfortunately, this was an NPC.
“Aiyo, no wonder Old Man Chen never forgets. This beautiful female orc looks like a human.” Xu You muttered.
However, just as Xu You looked at the orc Shelly, Shelly suddenly stood up and walked out of the restaurant. It looked like she was about to leave, but Xu You was shocked to discover that the orc’s round buttocks actually had a long, furry, fiery red tail.
“Pfft! Sure enough, it’s an orc, and a fox spirit!” Xu You spat out a mouthful of tea. He was truly impressed by Old Man Chen’s heavy taste. However, since he had found traces of this orc woman, Old Man Chen’s “mission” had been completed. Xu You could finally use the Chenxi villa and Stealth Powder in peace of mind.
Following that, Xu You followed Shelly the orc. After confirming that Shelly had returned to the General’s Mansion, he contacted Old Man Chen through his email address and told him what he had found out. When Old Man Chen received the news, he was overjoyed and said that he would come over immediately to ask Xu You to wait for him.
Thus, Xu You waited. In less than five minutes, Old Man Chen appeared in front of him. At this time, Xu You finally understood why this fellow was always hiding. It turned out that teleportation spells were moving tools for this Thunder Mage.
“Brother, thank you so much. If this matter succeeds, I will definitely thank you properly!” Old Man Chen said excitedly as he held Xu You’s hand.
“What is it? Brother, what are you planning to do?” Xu You was stunned. He didn’t know what this old fellow wanted to do, but what puzzled Xu You was, wasn’t Old Man Chen afraid that Emperor William would know about this? Why would he dare to run over to the Ice and Snow Fortress? Then he asked, “Brother, are you not afraid of the king?”
‘”I’m not afraid after receiving your news. I can give up everything for Shirley as long as she is willing to give herself to me! According to your news, Shirley is not sad. I have a chance! Brother, wish me good luck. I’m going!” Old Man Chen’s face was filled with excitement.
“Good luck? Do you want to go into the General’s Mansion now and confess to Shirley?” Xu You opened his eyes wide and looked like he had seen a ghost. Just as his husband died, Old Man Chen went to poach him?
However, Old Man Chen obviously couldn’t wait any longer and said, “Since I succeeded this time, I will definitely give you a generous gift!” After saying that, he disappeared, apparently to climb the widow’s door.
At this moment, Xu You was completely unable to describe his shocked mood. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and walked towards the teleportation array of the Ice and Snow Fortress. Now that it was not the time to agree to play an instance dungeon, he should go to the Iron Castle Dueling Arena to practice his battle techniques first. At that time, he should inform Bauhinia and the others of his decision. The country war was approaching, and it was time for “Ji Duochou” to successfully retire.
…
However, when Xu You was about to reach the teleportation array of the Ice and Snow Fortress, he saw a person who he had not seen for a long time walk out of a warm and frugal wooden house beside the main street. It was the head of the Huaxia Auction House, Muyurou. Although Muyurou concealed his name, he did not wear a veil. Xu You recognized him at a glance.
Muyurou was dressed in a black dress, dignified and beautiful, It was obvious that he was here to see a guest, but his expression was very ugly. After exiting the cabin angrily, he walked towards the teleportation array. Afterwards, a human man about thirty years old walked out of the cabin. The human man looked around the street and saw Muyurou’s figure. He chased after him and shouted, “Yurou, Yurou, don’t go!”
Hearing this, Xu You felt a little strange. The man shouted Muyurou’s real name, which meant that the two of them knew each other in real life. But now, it seemed like there was some kind of quarrel.
Seeing this, For some reason, Xu You had the urge to follow, so he did so. However, he quickly found a suitable excuse in his heart. Anyway, Muyurou seemed to be returning to the Huaxia Auction House on the Sea Watching Cliff. He just happened to want to sell the useless equipment, materials, blueprints, and other useless items he had accumulated during this period of time, so it was time to find Muyurou.
Very quickly, Muyurou took the lead in passing through the teleportation portal of the Ice and Snow Fortress. The human male named “Lonely Wanderer” also disappeared from the teleportation portal, as if he also knew where Muyurou was going.
Afterwards, Xu You followed closely to Haiwang Cliff and saw the two of them running in the direction of Huaxia Auction House one after the other.
Thus, Xu You found a place to apply Invisibility Powder and quickly followed the two of them. After arriving at the Sea Watching Cliff, the Lonely Prodigal Son no longer shouted and followed Muyurou silently, as if he was afraid that the surrounding players would notice him. Although Muyurou was anxious and helpless, he also controlled his pace. He was neither fast nor slow, apparently afraid of attracting others’ attention.
“Could it be that Muyurou has encountered an infatuated man? Furthermore, it’s a real infatuated man. He’s chasing after us in the game?” Xu You, who was following behind the two of them, guessed that his heart was slightly uncomfortable.
Muyurou once said that he had a good impression of Xu You. Although Xu You did not accept it at that time, he did not want what he did not want, nor did he want others to get it. This was a sad and terrifying human mentality. Not to mention that he did not want it at that time, it did not mean that he did not want it now.
However, Xu You and Muyurou hadn’t seen each other for more than three months. Recalling the beautiful scene of the two of them three months ago, Xu You had an indescribable feeling. When they met again later, he didn’t know if Muyurou would be pleasantly surprised.
With a slight excitement and apprehension, he said, Xu You chased the Lonely Prodigal Son and Muyurou into the Huaxia Auction House one after another and went up to the second floor. Xu You had a pass token, so he could naturally quietly follow them up to the second floor. But what surprised Xu You was that the Lonely Prodigal Son also had a pass token, chasing Muyurou all the way to Muyurou’s office and lounge. This showed that the relationship between the two was not shallow.
However, Muyurou couldn’t help but stop in front of his office. He frowned and said to the lonely prodigal son with a frost mask, “Dugu Lang, what are you doing with me? Didn’t I tell you that I have someone I like? Stop pestering me! I don’t admit what my father promised you!”
“Yurou” The lonely prodigal son called out to Muyurou softly.
“Don’t call me that! This is something only people close to me can call me!” Muyurou’s attitude towards the lonely prodigal son was extremely unfriendly, which made Xu You’s mood suddenly clear.
Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed through Lonely Wanderer’s eyes, but he immediately disappeared. He still looked gentle and elegant. He smiled warmly and said, “Good, good, good. If you don’t like me not calling you Yurou, then I’ll call you Xiaoyu. Isn’t your game name called ‘Rain of Tenderness’? Isn’t that too much?”
“You … whatever you want, don’t call me Yurou anyway!” Muyurou was disgusted and helpless by the shamelessness of the lonely prodigal son.
“Alright, Xiao Yu, should you invite me in to have a seat? I’m a guest no matter what, right?” The lonely prodigal son’s manners were very cultured, and it was difficult for ordinary people to feel disgust for him, but Muyurou was obviously an exception.
“How is that possible? My boyfriend is still waiting for me, I’m not free to care about you!” When Muyurou said “boyfriend”, his expression became exceptionally gentle.
“Boyfriend? I don’t believe it. Where is he? Is he in the room? Let me see!” The lonely prodigal son asked sternly.
On the other hand, Xu You, who was hiding by the side with the Invisibility Powder, was a little stunned. Did Muyurou discover him? That shouldn’t be possible. Otherwise, outside the auction house, Muyurou would be able to “use” him to get rid of the lonely prodigal son.
Just as Xu You was guessing nonsense, Muyurou said sweetly, “Yes, he is in the room. You can see him, but you can only peek at him secretly. Also, please leave immediately when you see him. I don’t want you to affect our mood when we meet!” “Oh, right, let me remind you, his status in reality is not inferior to yours. Don’t think of any tricks!”
After saying that, Muyurou quietly opened the door, opened a crack, and then stood to the side. Xu You was somewhat arrogant.
The lonely prodigal son didn’t believe it, but he leaned over and looked at it. His face immediately darkened. He scolded in a low voice, “That bastard Mu Feng actually dared to lie to me. However, Muyurou, I won’t let this matter rest here. Let’s wait and see!” After he finished speaking, he left with a dark face. It seemed that the people in the room made the lonely prodigal son very fearful.
Seeing the lonely prodigal son leave, Muyurou heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest nicely.
Seeing this, Xu You secretly smiled and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, “So it’s a shield …”
However, Muyurou pushed open the door and said in a gentle and guilty tone to the people in the room, “I can’t afford to keep you waiting. Sorry …”
The moment he opened the door, Xu You saw that the person in the room was actually an Ice Age man who couldn’t afford to breastfeed. The man who couldn’t breastfeed had a warm smile on his face, just like a husband waiting for his wife to return home.
The door quickly closed, and as the door closed, Muyurou’s voice also disappeared. The corridor became extremely quiet, a kind of annoying silence.
Unknowingly, a minute passed. Two minutes passed. Five minutes, ten minutes … It took Xu You an unknown amount of time to regain his senses. He then walked down the stairs to the teleportation portal. As he walked out of the Huaxia Auction House, Xu You turned around and looked at the entrance of the auction house. He laughed self-deprecatingly before decisively disappearing into the crowd.
People would always change. Xu You was like this, so was everyone else.
