The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 32: The forum is open
Soon, the people inside the sea of fire suddenly felt a chill.
It was as if I had just come out of the sauna and was hit by the extremely cold air conditioner. The whole person was shocked and suddenly woke up.
And that’s not an illusion——
I saw the sea of fire on Don Juan's side, and the temperature and height were dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. After three seconds, the flames were forcibly extinguished. Only a few flames remained clinging to the ground and shaking.
The players, trapped in the fire, saw their young lord standing outside.
On both sides of him were huge walls of fire nearly five to six meters high, accompanied by thick black smoke billowing up.
But the black smoke could not approach Don Juan Geraint at all.
I saw a faint white frost breath exhaling from his mouth and nose, his skin became extremely pale and bloodless, and his eyes ignited with azure light.
His cuffs and trouser legs continued to spurt out white cold air. These frost-white mist floated tightly on the ground, slowly rippling outward like water waves.
The ground that was still burning with flames cooled down rapidly, cracks appeared, and tiny frost blocks condensed on the ground.
"Lord Lord..."
"Thank you very much, Lord Don Juan."
The players immediately saluted Annan, and the salutes were messy... They were also a little worried about whether this would violate taboos or something.
But soon, they realized that Annan was not looking at them at all.
Annan's eyes were fixed on a corner.
Those eyes as cold and ruthless as winter, staring straight into the empty corner——
Just when the players were at a loss, they suddenly heard two screams from that corner:
"Lord Geraint, I, we surrender..."
"Help, help! It's so cold, I'm going to die..."
I saw two people slowly peeling off from the shadows over there. Their bodies were covered with caked frost marks. They huddled on the ground and screamed increasingly faintly: "Help! Lord Geraint..."
The players’ pupils dilated slightly.
Whether they were in the sea of fire or outside the sea of fire, they all immediately turned their attention to it.
It dawned on them.
No wonder I couldn’t find the last two people...
They can actually become invisible and hide!
Faced with the two men's begging for mercy, Annan did not waver at all.
There was no smile on his childish face. He just chuckled, exhaling a mouthful of frosty white mist as if he had just taken a puff of cigarette.
"Surrender...? Do you want to surrender?"
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the coldness visible to the naked eye oozed from his fine white teeth.
Under the reflection of the dancing firelight, his expression was even more cold.
"Yes! We surrender!"
"We know all the secrets... Please save our lives! We can testify for you——"
"Oh, surrender. Such gentle words. Even if you just wanted to murder me, according to the rules among nobles, I can't kill the surrendered soldiers...
"——That's what you think, right?"
Annan showed a bright smile, and his slightly curved eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "But I'm sorry, my dear... there is no surrender between us.
"You were the first to break the rules. You don't call this revenge - this calls murder."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand to the two people and spread it upward.
"No...no!"
"Forgive me, Yin Jue... please... sir..."
The two of them looked at Annan's movements, extremely frightened and stammering their prayers.
But Annan showed no mercy.
He just showed a cheerful, gentle, and elegant smile, and slowly retracted his little fingers one by one.
Every time he retracted his little finger, the frost marks on the two people's bodies became thicker. When the five fingers were completely retracted and clenched into fists, they were motionless, their eyes widened, and they lost their breath.
Their faces were twisted with intense pain and fear, and their eyes were wide and frosty, like fish in a refrigerator.
This cold, decisive and almost cruel scene made the players hold their breath for a moment.
At the same time, the ice chips that continued to scatter around Annan also reflected the firelight. His whole body was like a god, shining in the dark night.
After the two people were killed, Annan turned around, and the frosty air around him gradually dissipated.
His smile was shallow, distant and polite, far less bright than when he faced those two people. But it gives people a strong sense of trust.
"Welcome to your triumphant victory, my loyal guards."
Annan said slowly, with a cold and sweet voice: "Forty people, all here. No one betrays me, no friend leaves me.
"I'm sorry, I was supposed to help you. Because of the previous incident, I don't have the energy or money to hold a banquet for you. I hope you can understand me... When our life is better, I will definitely make up for today’s banquet. I think it will be a luxurious and lively banquet.”
Annan's voice was low and his expression was serious: "I will do what I say."
After that, he paused and added in a low voice: "Welcome... to go home safely."
At this moment, mission prompts also appeared in the players’ eyes:
[Mission completed: Kill all Fort Ross Private Army within thirty minutes (114/114), destroy or control all Black Fire (50/50)]
[Completed the main mission: Black Fire Catastrophe]
[Unlocked: Frozen Water Port]
[Unlocked: Player Forum]
[The guidance mission is over. From now on, your death will be punished. Every time you die, all current public experience will be deducted, and the professional level will be randomly reduced by 1~2 levels]
【Get 40 public experience】
【Get 100 favors from Don Juan Geraint】
[Current opinion is friendly (0/500)]
[Don Juan Geraint was so excited that he didn't sleep all night after hearing the news that you were coming back. But because of this, Don Juan also found a way out from the murderous intention of Viscount Roseburg. 】
[But now, Frozen Water Port is still facing a disaster. 】
[You speculate that the old viscount must kill him because his identity is related to the chaotic situation in the country. Perhaps, there will be other forces behind the old Viscount, vaguely affecting Frozen Water Port...]
[No matter what, this is your home. 】
[You decide not to step back. 】
【Acquired the main mission: Go home】
[Task requirements: Get your own place to live in the frozen water port, and log off in your own bed (0/1)]
【Additional evaluation rewards are being distributed...】
"Oh, right."
Annan suddenly turned around: "Yiyi, wandering child, delicious goose, you three remember to follow me later."
At this moment, a curtain of light suddenly flashed across Lin Yiyi's eyes.
【Your relationship with Don Juan Geraint has increased】
[Currently trusted (0/1500)]
She looked around and looked at the other two.
From their eyes, Lin Yiyi got the information she wanted.
Sure enough ~IndoMTL.com~ they are the same...
Is the reward for 100% additional completion level a direct increase in current favorability by one level?
What's left?
If Annan could know what she was thinking, he would definitely answer her questions happily - the reward for 40% completion is of course a 40% increase in favorability!
What a fair, useful, balanced and cost-free reward!
Oh, another hidden reward is that the three of them will live closer to Annan...
For players, this may be considered "different", right?
But other players no longer bothered to discuss the issue of completion.
After making sure that they could still visit the forum while walking with Annan, all the players almost without exception entered the player forum.
Every player is like a zombie, with their heads lowered and lifelessly walking behind Annan.
Looking from a distance, it looks particularly scary.
Only one person did not enter the forum...
I saw Jiu'er curiously following Annan, staring at him closely, not knowing what he was thinking, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But Annan felt inexplicably creepy.
It wasn't malicious, but it made him feel a little fussy inexplicably.
Damn it, what on earth is she thinking...
But Annan is still happy after all.
After a player guards the Frozen Water Port. At least I can advance to the dungeon with peace of mind...
At least there is no need to worry. After the dungeon came out, the entire Frozen Water Port was burning.
And...Rosberg also needs to deal with it.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He just felt that at this time, he probably needed to be a little angry.
