Players’ NPC daddy.

The girl was waving her arms and struggling while typing words on her phone at an unimaginable speed.

[Ah, it hurts! I'm your sister! How dare your little brother break into your sister's room! ]

"It's so noisy! If mom hadn't asked me to take care of you, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you." The boy impatiently pushed the girl into the bathroom, and then returned to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast.

"If your fans know what you are like now, Melushi's virtual idol will be ruined."

[Don’t worry, I guarantee a perfect eight hours of sleep and am a master of time management. ] The girl pushed open the bathroom door, holding her mobile phone in one hand and putting her hand on her hip.

After washing, the girl's whole body felt sparkling.

[And don’t you also want to find Blaze? Sister, I am also helping you who can only play for three hours a day. ]

"I really want to find him, but isn't this a special time for you?" The boy put down the spatula and tapped the calendar on the wall. There was a number circled in red on it.

"Didn't your company spend a lot of money to promote the world's first virtual idol concert held at the Epidaurus Theater?"

"You just use your face in the game, right? You won't be discovered by the players?"

[It doesn’t matter, I used the props to cover my head very carefully, and I only come out at night! ]

"You, just be happy." The corner of the boy's mouth twitched. He knew exactly what his sister was talking about as a head-covering prop. It was a head decoration from the famous work "Scream", plus the nun's body...

I hope people who see it won't be scared to death in the real world.

"I asked, how did your company get the performance slot at the Epidaurus Theater and give money to the production company of "Godlock"?"

[Hello! Who do you look down on! I got it by relying on my strength seriously! ]

The girl puffed up her face, stabbed her fork into the omelette that the boy had placed in dissatisfaction, and complained on her cell phone.

[But others don’t know. They were eliminated not long ago, but were quickly selected again. ]

"Sure enough, money was stuffed into it."

[How is it possible? All the appearances at the Epidaurus Theater are decided by special NPCs, and the "Goedlock" production company's principle is not to interfere with the thinking of NPCs. ]

"That's weird." The boy muttered, and the girl suddenly wiped out all the breakfast, wiped her mouth casually, got up and ran back to the room.

"What happened?" The boy picked up the phone and opened his eyes wide after just flipping through two pages of the forum.

"Ah, the [Hermes's Traveling Hat] caravan was attacked, accompanied by the Black Beast Knight?! Sis, you can't be online at this time!"

In Balkan City, the Dionysus Tavern, decorated with grapes and fine wine, is a popular underground tavern chain. Sponsored by the Hermes Traveling Hat, the Dionysus Tavern has been booked tonight as a reward for the guards who have come along.

Of course, the guards knew that this was just hush money, and the real purpose of the person who rented the tavern was to recruit a man sitting alone in front of a table, standing as still as a statue.

What a resolute man, unwavering in the face of the divine wine that the Dionysus Tavern claims will make you intoxicated after one sip, not to mention that after trying his best to travel long distances all night, he should be hungry and calmly look at the delicious food on the table. To right.

As expected of the blessed one, worthy of the black knight.

The guards silently raised their glasses in salute at Blaze's back.

But Blaze just couldn't eat. Looking at the delicious food on the table, he felt hungry and mentally attacked. The chicken, on the other hand, soaked its entire body in a wooden bucket cup, letting out a long sigh of relief as if taking a bath.

The guard captain took the initiative to sit across from Blaze, wanting to express his gratitude to Blaze.

"Actually, I know that the real cargo is in the carriage, but I can't tell my brothers that the cargo that I desperately escorted is just a disguise. I'm also prepared to risk my life for this disguise."

"After all, this is our job to make ends meet."

Blaze silently raised his cup to the guard captain to express his respect. He knew that if he didn't show up, Herbie would not give up the goods even if he knew that the Goblin tribe would appear, because these guards would fight for his own. Work hard until the last minute.

"You are worthy of recruitment in the eyes of that adult. You will definitely get a lot of help and reward from her in the future. Little people like us have nothing to repay you..." The guard captain hesitated for a while and whispered, " I heard your conversation, do you want to find an elf?"

"Yeah." Blaze nodded, not caring that the guard captain eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Actually, I know an elf. I can tell you where she is, but can you first tell me what you want to do with the elf?"

Obviously, the guard captain eavesdropped on everything, including the slave buying and selling part.

"Ask something about the blessed one." Blaze hesitated for a moment and answered vaguely.

"Well, she is already an old woman anyway." The guard captain approached Blaise and lowered his voice, "I am from the village of Alcmene, which is the novice village that strangers call."

"Is the elf you know Catherine?" Blaze turned sideways and faced the guard captain. He also knew this elf.

It is said that she is a historian who lives in seclusion in the village of Alcmene. Even strangers who want to see her have to try their luck. It is said that some strangers almost die suddenly without being able to see her.

"Sister Catherine...well, Catherine usually hides in this place and only comes out when she needs to replenish her magic power." The guard captain whispered the location to Blaze.

"Yeah, I remember it." Blaze repeated the coordinates several times in his mind to make sure he remembered them completely, but at the same time it was a little strange.

"Why did you tell me this? A stranger should be asking everywhere to find Catherine."

"Probably because you don't feel like you are out of reach to those blessed ones, but more like ordinary people like us."

"Right now I'm just discussing the big sister I've longed for in childhood with a friend I met by chance."

Chapter 25 Crazy Killer

Blaze sat in front of a table of delicious food until late at night. The guards had the self-knowledge to quietly leave, leaving private space for their boss and the blessed person.

Soon only Blaze was left in the tavern, and after the last guard left, Herbie appeared as if stuck, sat opposite Blaze and raised his glass.

"You haven't eaten a bite. Even a blessed person cannot ignore hunger. It seems that you really can't take off your helmet."

Herbie was still wearing the suit he wore during the day, but he had untied his tie to reveal his beautiful collarbones, and a drunken blush appeared on his beautiful face.

"It seems you absorb experience points to maintain your health, and then somehow eliminate hunger. Perhaps you also use this method to eliminate all emotions that would hinder your combat. In that case, perhaps even mind-interference magic is ineffective against you."

"It seems that the escort commission has not ended yet." Blaze pushed away the wine glass in front of him and got straight to the point.

"Yes, because we threw away all the goods, we were targeted by strangers."

[Hermes' Brigade Hat] is the largest chamber of commerce on the continent. Herbie can send terrifying monsters like the Black Beast Knight into the city, and can also make those stubborn blacksmiths be obedient, which is enough to prove the huge power of this chamber of commerce. Influence.

Maintaining a friendly relationship with [Hermes' Brigade Hat] means huge resources and intelligence.

Therefore, strangers pay special attention to [Hermes' Traveling Hat], and will chip in even for cheap escort rewards, and will even take the initiative to act as escorts to follow and protect them all the way. Now that it is discovered that the caravan of [Hermes' Brigade Hat] has lost all its goods and enters the Balkan City in a panic, it will definitely keep a close eye on the Chamber of Commerce and look for opportunities to gain favor.

"Sigh... the usually easy-to-use foreigners are in particular trouble at this time. Their sense of smell is comparable to that of hounds." Herbie raised his glass and sighed in distress.

"Probably some stranger saw us when we entered the Balkan city, 'Huh? The caravan of [Hermes' Brigade Hat] didn't even have any goods. Something must have happened, I want to pay for it for free (emphasis added) ) solve this problem for [Hermes’ Brigade Hat]!’ and the like has spread.”

Blaze had a different understanding of the Stranger's reaction. He also had a blessing, and after talking to Dali Feizhuan and other Strangers, he understood that the Stranger was actually looking for guidance in the blessing, that is, a mission.

The task itself will not get any substantial rewards, but in the process of completing the task, you will get many benefits such as experience, skills and career. The most valuable thing among them is that you actively look for special tasks that are triggered and only you know about them.

The most important thing to actively trigger these special tasks is to find some abnormalities that are different from usual. Obviously, the strangers believed that [Hermes' Traveling Hat], who had always been wealthy and never stingy in protecting caravans, had lost its goods, which was an abnormality, and that there must be a valuable secret.

Although there is indeed a secret, it is something that must not be known to strangers.

"Wouldn't it be better to use the Goblin tribe?" Blaze suggested.

"Eh!" Herbie showed undisguised disgust. In the eyes of a large chamber of commerce like [Hermes' Traveling Hat], which often travels long distances, goblins are no different from cockroaches.

They are weak, annoying, and sometimes turn into troublesome group monsters. The materials on them are completely worthless. Fighting them is a waste of time and energy.

Blaze could understand this reaction. Not long ago, he had completely failed to understand why strangers put themselves in all kinds of danger and trouble, but after becoming a Blessed One, he understood that the sense of transformation brought about by acquiring skills and professions and leveling up was addictive.

For example, in the eyes of ordinary people, being beaten by a rabbit monster for more than three hours is a very stupid thing, but in the eyes of the blessed, it is a necessary condition for obtaining the super skill [Absolute Defense].

Compared with this feeling, death is nothing, since you can be resurrected anyway.

"The Goblin tribe is a group of monsters with a low probability of appearing. For strangers, monsters with a low probability of appearing are treasures. It is probably like the silver mines in the haunted mountains that everyone dislikes." Blazer used The business metaphor made Herbie understand this matter. Herbie was worthy of being a senior partner of the Chamber of Commerce, and his eyes lit up.

"That's great! I know what to do!"

This expression is definitely not about knowing what to do now, but what to do in the future. Blaze prayed a little in his heart for the people in foreign lands, hoping that they would not become Hebie's free labor in the future.

Later, for a long time, players discovered that the caravan guards of [Hermes' Brigade Hat] were just like Sieve. They were attacked by bandits or monsters all day long, resulting in the loss of goods.

Players are eager to help, but the truth is that Herbie has accepted a large number of wanted commissions from the kingdom, using players to eliminate wanted objects and earn the difference in price.

My own opinion is that it is a win-win situation. She uses this method to achieve rapid performance improvement in [Hermes' Traveling Hat]. After gaining a higher status, she can use the corresponding power to provide services to strangers, and strangers can also benefit from this. income.

"Then we just need to send Audrey to a safer place until the performance at Epidaurus Theater is over."

"Is Balkan City unsafe? It is protected by the Royal Knights, and there are bounty hunters and foreigners called PKK. The killer foreigners named [Azazel] should not act rashly." Blaze was puzzled.

"That's just under normal circumstances, but if you take [getting paid once for killing] as the premise, those killers will not hesitate to commit murder on the streets."

Herbie's expression was gloomy, not like a businessman who was angry that his business had been disrupted, but because he was angry about the misfortune of his friend.

"She is a blessed person who can be resurrected even after death, so she will be killed again and again. Even if she gives up the performance, she will be hunted until the end of the performance at the Epidaurus Theater. Killing will end."

That tone was like witnessing the terrifying scene where the killers would hold their breath and drive the dagger into Audrey's chest even if they were cut to pieces by a thousand knives.

"Strangers don't understand the feeling of death, they don't have real feelings, because they don't have tears."

Blaze was silent. He had always thought that the blessed were not afraid of death, but now it seemed that only strangers enjoyed gaining strength and transformation in death.

But now, he is closer to the existence called the Stranger.

Chapter 26 The Lion’s Promise, Returning the Stars to the Sky

"Blaze!"

When Blaze saw a nun wearing a strange pale mask waving to him and running towards him with a hearty smile, even the armor couldn't stop him from being scared for a while.

"ah--"

Blaze screamed subconsciously, but he turned off the [Translation], so to the nun, he just roared like a beast towards the sky.

Many people opened their windows and looked angrily for the beast that disturbed people's leisure.

A vague figure appeared at the window on the second floor of the tavern, staring at the two people downstairs with an indescribable look.

"Shh - there's no need to greet me so loudly." The nun lifted her mask, revealing her pretty face, and smiled playfully at him.

"Is it possible that you are actually a werewolf under your armor?"

"Meruhi?"

"Eh? You can speak too? Then am I the first one to hear your voice?" Melushi showed a happy smile and reached out to hold Blaze's arm without hesitation.

"...is the first." If it is limited to female strangers, it is indeed the first.

Blaze looked around nervously. The unbearable scream he just made was quite loud. Maybe the city's knights would come to check.

"Mei, Melushi, can we go to a hidden place first?"

"OK!"

Blaze and Melushi came to the city wall of Balkan City. This is usually where the guards patrol and stand guard. As long as the strangers take over the patrol work, there will be no guards here, and the strangers generally will not take over the patrol. A boring job that requires long hours of walking around with nothing to do.

So if you want to find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed by others, this is the most suitable place.

"I'm sorry, Melushi. I attract people's attention like this. If a stranger finds out, it will cause a commotion." Blaze apologized in a low voice to Melushi, who was holding up the guard spear that he would get when accepting the mission.

"Just call me a nun, and it doesn't matter. I am also a very attractive person." Melushi pointed at himself with a thumbs up, "Don't look at me like this, I am a celebrity."

"There are one million fans on X!"

"Really?" Although Blazer has never heard of X, it is probably a way of socializing for foreigners, and one million sounds like a lot, more than ten times the number of people in Balkan City.

"That's right! Please accept this!" The nun seemed to have remembered something and took out a branch from the warehouse and handed it to Blaze solemnly.

"This is……"

[Peregrine Falcon Treetops]

[The fastest flying bird in the world will stop for a rest. Take this opportunity to remove the mailbox from the peregrine falcon's feet. 】

The Peregrine Falcon, the fastest flying bird in the world, can be used for communication after being tamed. However, it is extremely difficult to tame the peregrine falcon, and special treetop props must be equipped to make the peregrine falcon stay.

It is also an advanced communication prop among strangers. Common ones can only use white pigeons or sparrows, and these communication channels have a probability of being eaten.

"With this, I can communicate with you via text at any time! Although I can only take the initiative to talk to you!" Melushi scratched the back of his head and smiled.

Blaze was moved and accepted the treetops, and unilaterally prepared a new job for the drunken chicken who was sleeping.

Standing still would be punished by the supervising city guard, so they took a walk in the corridor.

Blaze discovered that Melushi didn't have anything to do with him, she just wanted to chat with him and get to know him.

The girl put her hands behind her back and deliberately kicked her legs high while walking in exaggerated steps. Her eyes were like stars in the sky, shining brightly.

"When is your birthday? Needless to say your age. I must be older."

"It was August 12th."
