[Welcome back, the chaotic and neutral Tan Mo is about to be loaded into the realm of innocence, I wish you good night]

……

The eastern part of the Innocence Continent, the outskirts of Wayne City
Mo Tan appeared behind a tree beside a small road, there was no other reason, there were people on the road.

"It's really peaceful." He walked out from behind the tree and sighed leisurely. The atmosphere here is completely different from that in Misha County, which was depressing and deserted due to the raging plague. I can see many caravans and travelers on the road, and occasionally I can see one or two bards squatting on the side of the road playing and singing, and most of the people around them are children with few coins in their pockets. Although these little guys There is no reward for half a cent, but the anecdotes they occasionally hear from their families can often make the poets drink a glass of wine in the inn.

A peaceful scene...

【But a little boring~】

Mo Tan picked his nostrils, then wiped it on a child who ran madly past him, thinking idly.

He yawned loudly, and then planned to find a secluded place to change his clothes. After all, this place is still a long way from the northern border of the Violet Empire. If you want to travel at full speed, it is better to dress like a thief than to wear The fluttering impression of a poet is even less likely to attract attention.

but……

"Hi buddy~"

A hearty and kind voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Mo Tan turned his head slowly, and found a dark elf man standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"This road is seldom traveled. Are you planning to go to the Violet Empire?" The other party asked with a smile, and then stretched out his right hand: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Cro, Croy Lumina .”

Crowe is a typical dark elf. He has a silver-white Mohawk back, a slightly feminine face, long pointed ears and a pair of red pupils, but he looks like the type who is easy to talk and gives people A very cheerful feeling.

Mo Tan laughed, shook the other's hand and said, "Hi, my name is Cordoba Luvi, and I'm an unlucky bard. Do you know me?"

He didn't mention a name similar to Gurlandfard. After all, Mo Tan didn't know whether the Crowe in front of him was an NPC or a player, so he cautiously reported Cordoba's name. In this way, even if you accidentally or intentionally offend the other party later, the trouble will not be found on your head in the first place.

"I don't know." Crowe shook his head as expected, and then smiled: "But the bards belong to a family, and I happen to be planning to go to the south to learn more. Brother Lu Wei, you seem to be planning to go there too. So I came up to say hello, and if it's convenient, we can still walk for a while."

This young dark elf was wearing a white robe, with a pair of delicate triangle irons hanging around his waist, and holding a common black leather notebook in his left hand. He really looked like a graceful bard.

"I have no objection at all, buddy." Mo Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, then pointed to his swinging legs, and said with a smile: "The premise is that you are willing to accompany me to find a caravan to pick us up. Some can't move."

So a few minutes later, Crowe stopped a large-scale goblin caravan headed for Fernan Territory, and the person in charge of the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheek invited them into an empty carriage with only two gold coins. Among them, it is used for loading on the return journey.

"I'm sorry for costing you." Mo Tan stretched out comfortably in the car, and smiled at Crowe who was opposite him: "Money is relatively tight lately~"

The generous dark elf shook his head: "It's always good to have a companion, I like excitement."

Then the two started chatting casually, mainly to exchange their knowledge. Mo Tan shared a few things he got from Jun Wu, most of which were low-level anecdotes like 'dystocia of sows' and 'chickens lay duck eggs'. , but there is also information about the paladin's wrath X cultist in Pato City. After all, this matter is no longer a secret. It is relatively easy to find out if you want to.

But Crowe knows quite a lot. He mentioned the new gods who appeared in the City of Light, mentioned that a certain well-known adventurer in a certain place wiped out a certain monster, and mentioned that recently he was very famous in this area. The famous bard Beolucanus also mentioned a natural disaster in the west, in terms of gold content, I don’t know how many times stronger than those mentioned by Motan.

This dark elf bard is not only lavish and personable, but also very talkative, as if he knows a little bit about everything, chatting with him is like a spring breeze, and Mo Tan feels from the bottom of his heart that if this guy goes to Being a duck will definitely pay off, he doesn't even need to provide any special services, he just needs to chat with those lonely and wealthy girls or aunts, and he can live comfortably.

[However, there will be at least two sentences in every ten sentences that contain probing meaning... Isn't this guy tired? 】

While chatting with Crowe with a face full of 'earning', Mo Tan complained in his heart.

That's right, this guy's motives are not pure, and it's no coincidence that he found him. Mo Tan has seen through this kind of thing from the very beginning, because there are really many flaws and flaws in it, so I won't discuss it for the time being. List them all.

In short, from the moment the two of them got into the car, this dark elf named Crowe hadn't stopped tempting Mo Tan.

Therefore, the effective information obtained by Crowe is as follows:

Cordoba Luvi is in his early [-]s this year. He has the strength of a three-legged cat who is an apprentice ranger. He is very good at cooking. There are many people in his family. He is the second uncle of several juniors. The younger sister who can't take care of herself is called Futaba Luwei. The purpose of his travels is to find medicine for his younger sister. He is very poor.

Then, the effective information obtained by Mo Tan is as follows:
Chloe Lumina is the real name, the identity of the traveling poet is true, but probably not all of them, it is true that he went to the Violet Empire, only the strength of a trainee warlock is false, and the fact that there is a Duojin uncle is false, It’s true that he was born in the city of freedom. He has a teacher who takes good care of him. It’s true. Some time ago, he had a good friend and younger brother. It’s true. His identity is NPC.

And the reason why the other party came to test him, Mo Tan also guessed that it was almost inseparable...

It was a somewhat bloody misunderstanding, but he didn't intend to solve it for a while.

There is no particular reason, Mo Tan just thinks this is quite amusing.

……

two hours later
【You have been disconnected in an emergency, please choose whether to reconnect】

"Yes."

[Reconnection starts...]

[Connection completed, reading character information]

[Welcome back, the absolutely neutral Black Brahma is about to be loaded into the realm of innocence, I wish you good night]

Mida City, Shengjiao United Chapel, Yuchen's room

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mo Tan pulled Yu Chen up from the ground in embarrassment, scratched his head and said with a smile, "I didn't mean to scare you."

Yu Chen, who was shocked by the former just now, stood still in shock, and took a long time to react before he breathed a sigh of relief: "No, it's okay, I forgot that classmate Mo Tan, you logged off here yesterday."

"I had something to do last night." Mo Tan shrugged and sat down opposite Yu Chen: "I was dragged out by someone, so I didn't have time to say hello to you."

Yu Chen nodded slightly, and then said with a serious face: "In the future, it's best to ask your friend to press the emergency call button first, it's always very dangerous."

Mo Tan smiled awkwardly: "I know, pay attention next time."

Yuchen is not alarmist. You must know that more than ten years ago, when the mental virtual system was first introduced, there was indeed a long period of safety hazards, that is, a sudden disconnection would cause tons of mental trauma.

Although the merchants have paid great attention to safety measures and have passed many relevant quality inspections, the virtual devices at that time would still have accidents due to power failure, rational disconnection by characters, etc. The specific manifestation was long-term mental confusion. There is no such thing as becoming an idiot or being locked in a so-called virtual world.

There were probably less than [-] people who had accidents because of this, [-]% of them were due to sudden power outages, [-]% were because their children were addicted to entertainment and were beaten by their parents in the real world, and [-]% were in major games. When I was on the inside, I took the initiative to ask someone to pull the gate for me, trying to become a BUG and stay in the game world. Black clothes are like wind, long swords are like snow, adventures are fun, and the harem is wide open...

Anyway, the final result is that I lived like a fool for several months, and then I was notified to dismiss, to be fired, to make up homework and notes, and to go to a professor surnamed Yang for electrotherapy... This is not the case.

However, this kind of safety hazard has been ruled out two years after the popularization of mental virtual devices. Although there are still very few accidents that may happen, at least the game cabin produced by Innocence Company will never have such problems. There is a one in a million chance of not having one.

Closer to home...

"Sister Saint has already left." Yu Chen didn't dwell on the topic just now, but said to Mo Tan seriously: "She went to the camp outside this morning to release a group of infected civilians. Purify, and then leave with four hundred paladins."

Mo Tan's eyes were fixed: "The person who went to investigate before is back? Those 'mutants' have appeared all over the place?"

"Yes." Yu Chen nodded lightly and sighed: "It is said that the situation has become uncontrollable. A lot of people died in the other two cities in the north besides Hofer City and Mida City. Inhabited villages and small towns have also fallen, and there are a large number of monsters wandering in the wild, and now there is no safe place in the entire county."

Even though he had expected this situation long ago, Mo Tan's complexion was still not much better. He could guess how bad the situation is without even thinking about it. Even if it is an optimistic estimate, it has been less than forty-eight hours since the night before yesterday The game time is enough for those mutants to kill tens of thousands of people!
"However, the cities that the knights have visited are still insisting." Yuchen said in a low voice: "And the saintess also wrote a letter to ask for support from the Holy Church Union through the Magician's Guild here in the morning. if……"

Mo Tan rubbed his forehead: "How long will it take if you move quickly?"

"At least half a month." Yu Chen weakly spread his small hands.

"It's too late." Mo Tan immediately shook his head and said, "It's absolutely too late. After half a month, there will be less than tens of thousands of people left in Misha County."

Yuchen whispered: "But Sister Saint has already..."

"She alone and more than [-] knights can't solve any problems." Mo Tan smiled wryly, and spread out a map of Misha County that she got from the city hall yesterday on the table: "Xia Lian was in Huo Lian before. The divine power backfired by Fu City is very serious. Although I don't know much about it, I can tell from her performance in the past two days that the problem is huge. There is no need to appear, you look at this map..."

Yu Chen leaned forward and took a look, with a dazed expression.

"Eleven cities, even riding a horse from south to north, have an area of ​​two or three days, with a population of more than [-]." Mo Tan tapped two places on the map, and said with a bitter face: "Even if you plan Going to Hofer City and Mida City, there are still nine cities that need to be saved. In such a big place, one seriously injured saint and four hundred low-level paladins are too late... This is already a desperate situation."

Yu Chen stared at him blankly: "Then what should we do?"

Mo Tan didn't answer, but asked instead: "What did Xia Lian explain before she left?"

"Sister Saint asked Mr. Tai Luo and the remaining knights to protect Mida City, and to ensure the city and..." Yu Chen shrank, and said in a low voice: "accommodate the refugees as much as possible under my premise, Then asked me to treat the infected civilians as much as possible during this time, and wait for her to come back."

Mo Tan sighed, and continued to ask: "Since I disconnected last night, how many people have become monsters?"

"Less than [-] people." Yu Chen, who has not been offline since closing the server, logged in as soon as [-]:[-] in the morning, quickly replied: "The total number of times is less than [-] people, and the situation is better than before. many……"

"There are less than a hundred people..." Mo Tan flexed his index finger and rubbed his chin lightly: "Have you been treating them?"

Yu Chen nodded: "Well, but this morning, the holy lady went there and brought me back forcibly, and asked Mr. Tai Luo to look at me. She said that I always worry about the possibility of accidents when I use the disturbed magic. , let me wait for you to wake up..."

"How do you explain that I'm disconnected?" Mo Tan curiously looked at the girl in front of him.

"Uh, I said you were sleeping in your room." Yu Chen replied hesitantly.

Mo Tan laughed dryly: "But when I went offline, I disappeared in place, and then?"

"Then she said she was going in to wake you up."

"And then what?"

"When I was in a hurry, I said you had no clothes on, and stopped her from entering... But the holy lady was thinking too much, I... I didn't realize it when I said it."

"..."
