Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

A violent explosion was heard, and a hole was blown through the road surface. The Black Knight rolled down with the rubble, and the wound on her waist that was scratched felt numb. Before she could think about whether these arrows were coated with paralyzing poison, she immediately looked up.

Above the hole created by the explosion stood a dozen killers holding crossbows, wearing helmets and wearing uniform uniforms. If Xia Yuan were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that these were killers from the No-Hero Alliance, who specialized in assassinating disobedient knights.

They quietly raised the crossbows in their hands, with the crossbow arrows emitting a strange white light, and aimed at the black knight who was standing alone, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Violent explosions once again echoed throughout the community, with smoke and dust filling the air.

"Where's the Black Knight?"

"Gone."

"That means she ran away. I will lead Group A into the underground sewers, and Group B will take a shortcut to the entrance of the arena to block the Black Knight. We must not let her enter the arena." The leading assassin of the No Helmet Alliance said calmly, "The order from the top is to find her alive or dead. She was poisoned by paralysis toxins, so she can't run far."

The assassins of the No Helmet Alliance received the order and quickly disappeared into the night.

......

Are you going to take off the mask of fake smile now?

The Black Knight clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, she could feel half of her body going numb, fighting wasn't difficult for her in this situation, it was just that not being able to feel part of her body slowed her reaction as a warrior.

This was the revenge from the Chamber of Commerce. The Black Knight's golden eyes flashed with an unyielding will in the dark underground sewer. If she were to be knocked down solely by relying on this, it would be an underestimation of the Black Knight.

The next moment, she heard a rustling sound coming from the front... No, if she listened carefully, it sounded like the sound of machinery moving.

The Black Knight gripped the hilt of the sword. This place was under the Cavalleria base. She had never been here before and had no idea what was hidden here.

"who!"

What caught her eyes were two iron lumps flying in the air. At least the Black Knight had never seen such machines before. There were flying vehicles on the heads of the machines, which looked like the product of military research.

The Chamber of Commerce has long controlled Casimir's economic system, so the appearance of such a weapon is not surprising. The Black Knight's golden eyes were serious, and he drew his sword to kill.

"——Black Knight, it's me."

A faint golden light illuminated the entire sewer. The Black Knight saw a Sakota with a golden halo on his head, wearing a black coat with white as the main color, emerging from the shadows. He was operating something on the screen on his arm. When he heard these words, he looked up.

"It's you!"

The Black Knight said in surprise, but she still put away her sword.

Xia Yuan noticed her movements and laughed happily. He took a few steps forward, but did not approach the Black Knight. He took out a bottle of potion from his arms and said, "Drink it. It will detoxify you."

The Black Knight caught it with one hand, bit off the bottle cap and poured the liquid into his mouth.

"We still have 25 minutes to leave the sewer." Xia Yuan glanced at the time on his watch. "The rules of the knight competition are that knights are allowed to be late after the game starts, but if they are late for half an hour, they will automatically lose. We don't have much time."

"I can lend you a helping hand. The two Rangers beside me are our good helpers. After the modification, they added lightning arrow modules and thermal imaging modules. Well, they can shoot charged crossbow arrows. As for thermal imaging, it allows me to see the enemy clearly even in the dark..." Xia Yuan introduced for a long time and found that the Black Knight could not understand, and he couldn't help feeling a little bored.

The Black Knight propped herself up. She still felt a burning sensation all over her body from the explosion just now, but the numbness had gradually disappeared.

"Why help me?"

"Because you shouldn't die here." Xia Yuan said calmly, "Even if the Black Knight died, he would die on the way to the battle, and he would die on the battlefield. Don't you think it's a pity that the Black Knight died under the assassination of the assassin?"

The Black Knight raised his lips and said, "I never knew that you are so eloquent despite your young age."

"Don't forget, I'm still a businessman, just a not very qualified one."

Xia Yuan smiled, "Let's go."

The two men were one in front and one behind, the Black Knight in front and Xia Yuan behind, and the two Patrols controlled by Xia Yuan had already quietly flown in the front. They entered stealth mode. In this mode, the sound emitted by the machinery will be adjusted to the lightest, but the disadvantage is that they cannot fly too intensely.

The two gradually walked from the underground sewer to the slightly flatter ground. Here was a building under construction, and the basement was filled with various building materials and facilities.

"Found it. There are two assassins patrolling on both sides ahead... Wait a moment."

He held back the Black Knight who wanted to rush out, and tapped on the screen on his arm. Two Rangers aimed at their targets, and a black hole stretched out from under the aircraft.

Two arrows with lightning flew past quickly with a swoosh. The two patrolling assassins were shot and fell to the ground before they could react. The arrows did not hit their vital points, but the paralyzing effect of the arrows was enough to make them lie here for a night.

[You defeated the Helmetless Assassin and gained experience: 1000] x2

"...Is this a weapon you made?"

The Black Knight was watching the whole battle from the side. When he saw Xia Yuan destroy the enemy by just clicking on the screen, he asked calmly.

"Yes, because I don't have an outstanding physique, nor do I have peerless martial arts, I can only rely on external things to make myself stronger." Xia Yuan chuckled.

The Black Knight shook his head and said seriously: "This is also part of your strength. Don't underestimate yourself."

Xia Yuan smiled. The black knight who said this was indeed very handsome.

The noise coming from the front interrupted their conversation. Xia Yuan heard the crying of a child. The black knight's face suddenly changed, "Why is there a child here?"

Xia Yuan's face darkened. The underground was the gathering place for the infected in the city, and now that there were no infected knights, the attitude of the No-Hero Alliance towards the infected had always been to kill them all.

"It's the infected people in the city."

"They deserve to die."

The Black Knight said this and drew his sword, rushing to the front. Xia Yuan controlled the Patrol to enter the target search and locking mode, and followed closely behind the Black Knight.

They saw hell.

Dozens of infected people were shot with arrows and bleeding all over the ground. They were in critical condition and seemed beyond saving, but they would not die instantly - after the infected died, there would be an Originium dust explosion similar to the "corpse explosion". The assassins of the No-Hero Alliance would naturally not let them pollute the city here.

Several children, in tears, pulled their parents' linen clothes that had been washed until they turned white, crying and begging them not to fall asleep.

Xia Yuan gritted his teeth. The lives of the infected were of course not lives for those in power. They had no human rights at all. This was the bloody reality. His expression was cold, and the two hunters shot at the assassins of the Wuzhan League mercilessly.

"who!"

Two assassins from the Helmetless Alliance fell to the ground and twitched. Seeing this, the remaining few people quickly dispersed, but they were fast, and the Black Knight was even faster, and the sword in her hand never stopped.

Although archers can fight in close combat, they have no chance of winning against the Black Knight in close combat.

"It's you..."

The last assassin fell under the sword of the Black Knight, and her sword drank blood for the first time in a long time.

Xia Yuan took a few steps forward. "If you keep going forward, you will see more small settlements of infected people. Head towards them. I will set the two Rangers to protect you... The arena is not far away."

"What about you?"

The Black Knight turned suddenly.

Xia Yuan smiled faintly, "I will turn back and let them finish the last journey of their lives without any pain. As for their remains, the infected settlement will help deal with them."

"You..." The Black Knight hesitated.

"It's a pity that I can't see you win the championship, Black Knight, but I'm your fan." Xia Yuan smiled brightly. In the eyes of the Black Knight, he was like a small sun rising from the dark earth. He stretched out his fist to the Black Knight, "Go, comrade, don't let the Commercial Federation's plan succeed. Go to the arena and win the final championship!"

The Black Knight took a deep look, then she stretched out her fist and lightly touched Xia Yuan's fist, with a smile on her lips, "See you later."

"I'll come find you after I win the championship." Xia Yuan said meaningfully, "The trouble has not been completely resolved."

The Black Knight chuckled. "You are so young, but your words and actions are as shrewd as an old man. It doesn't match your face at all."

She took one last look at Xia Yuan, her dazzling golden hair swinging, and the sound of footsteps quickly faded away.

After Xia Yuan set the targets for his two Rangers, he headed towards a fork in the road.

Another Ranger landed from above the patio and served as a lighting fixture beside Xia Yuan.

After just a few battles, Xia Yuan had reaped great rewards. He "incorporated" these machines into his own team before taking action. Now as a team, the Patrol also received his team bonus.

When his machinery is sufficient, he can upgrade the auxiliary level appropriately... After all, he is obviously an auxiliary, but now all he has trained are auxiliary secondary professions. If the auxiliary system has emotions, he will definitely cry.

After walking a few steps forward, he found the infected people huddled in the shadows and shivering.

Among these infected people, there were also people shot by the No-Hero Alliance assassins, but their injuries were not serious.

Xia Yuan raised his hand. "I have no ill will towards you. I have dealt with the assassin outside. Your companion was injured, very seriously."

Maybe it was because his race was rare and intimidating, or because the patroller floating beside him looked a little scary, but the people in the infected settlement didn't question it at all. Several young men followed Xia Yuan back to the pipe connection, and when they saw their companions lying in a pool of blood and the child who had fainted from crying, they were immediately overcome with grief.

They held back their tears, kept a distance from Xia Yuan, and began to clean up the miserable situation.

They had no gratitude or hatred towards Xia Yuan, only a dull emotion.

Xia Yuan didn't say much. He watched everything from a distance and made the sign of a cross with his hand on his chest.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind Xia Yuan. He turned around and saw a dozen assassins from the Wuzhou League rushing towards him in the corridor where only a few lights were on.

Xia Yuan didn't say anything.

"Half of them will deal with this Sakota, and the other half will deal with the infected!" ordered the captain of the Helmetless Alliance Assassins.

Xia Yuan shook his head and tapped several times on the screen on his arm. Under the moonlight, dozens of patrol planes were hovering in the air.

"What...what is this! Is it a military weapon?" The terrified words of the captain of the Helmetless Alliance assassins were immediately swallowed up by the patroller's attack.

Give someone a taste of their own medicine. The assassins of the Helmetless Alliance like to use crossbows, so it is reasonable for them to die from crossbows. They are not good at close combat, and now they become moving targets under the attack of the hunters, and they die screaming one by one.

Ignoring the rising experience points, Xia Yuan turned around and looked towards the direction of the arena.

Black Knight, use your sword and mace to cut off all the thorns on the road.

Chapter 41 Business

"The Black Knight! The Black Knight! The Black Knight!"

The black knight, holding a long sword, fell from the sky like a meteor, and hit the ground with a bang. Her eyes were calm and no emotion could be seen, and her brilliant golden hair fluttered in the wind.

The rain fell to the ground along the sword she pointed forward. At this moment, the anger in her mind had disappeared completely, replaced by the fighting spirit and indomitable spirit of a warrior.

Don't you want me to die? Here I come.

Don't you want the light cavalry to win without a fight? Here I come.

"—Oh oh oh oh oh! The Black Knight appears at the last moment, and the Light Knight's rapier is already unsheathed. He is very confident and powerful, and he dares to challenge the Black Knight. Let's cheer for the Light Knight!"

The host finally managed to smooth things over and the competition went on as usual.

In the conference room, several high-ranking officials of the Business Federation had gloomy expressions. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "These assassins from the No-Hero Alliance are really good at causing trouble instead of helping others. They sent out two assassin teams and yet they couldn't get rid of the Black Knight?"

"What about the possibility that the Black Knight has helpers?" another person asked coldly.

"The Black Knight has always been a loner. During the years in Casimir, I have never seen her interact with anyone. This may be our mistake..."

"No matter what, the Black Knight has finally shown up. Haha, an upright knight like this can't avoid assassinations in the shadows."

"Because of her, will all the resources our Business Association has invested in light cavalry be wasted?"

The leader said calmly, "We can lift up one light knight, or we can lift up ten light knights. If the light knight loses badly this time, let him fade out of the public's view. If he doesn't achieve the results we want in the next knight competition, then he will be of no use to us."

"As for the Black Knight, we certainly can't let her run wild in Casimir." He took out his phone and glanced at the other high-ranking officials with his sharp eyes. "When the Black Knight leaves the arena, issue a kill order against her. Let the Blue Gold Assassin of the No Helmet Alliance take action and stop her."

"Yes."

There was a gloomy cloud in the conference room. On the field, the black knight swung his sword silently.

The pain in his body was gone, and the black knight took the lightly-armored knight's thrust head-on, then cut his shoulder armor in two with a backhanded strike of his sword.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the lightly-armored knight twisted his body and barely avoided the attack aimed at his vitals.

The Light Knight's strength is not weak, and he did not get to his position by hype and match-fixing alone. As a young knight, he has obviously done his best.

This contest is fair, both for the light knights and the black knights. There is no so-called third party in the arena.

"I'm no match for you."

After a brief fight, the lightly-armored knight sighed, "It seems that the Commercial Federation's plan has failed."

The Black Knight looked at him calmly, not even bothering to say anything to agree.

"Black Knight, you are the dream of many knights, but also the hatred of many knights." The light knight took a deep breath, and his attack became more and more violent. "Three-time tournament knight champion, you are the pinnacle of many knights, but also their nightmare! A great opportunity was given to you for nothing, but you threw it away like a worn-out shoe. Do you know how many knights envy and hate you?"

"Ha! There are still pure knights in this era? Black Knight, you are the outlier!"

The light-armored knight's thrusts became sharper and sharper each time. He had many flaws, and his posture was crazy. His eyes were burning with raging flames.

"You deserve to die! You have shattered the dreams of so many competitive knights!"

"Ha! Every morning when people wake up, the topic is always the Black Knight! With so many resources not being used, do you really still think you are a knight?"

"Even if you defeat me, you won't be able to walk out of Casimir alive!"
