Chapter 42 The Lost Ancient Country (9)
When the last human died, the entire hall was filled with silent despair, which surged over everyone's heads like a tide.
What should I do?
All the players in the audience couldn't help but feel flustered, and even their breathing suddenly became sluggish.
Many of them don't even have the so-called skills, and the upper limit of D City's points means that they can't afford any decent props.
Am I really going to die here with no way out?
Some people even let out the whimper of dying beasts in their throats, but were laughed at by the dark creatures disguised as humans who had been watching them for a long time.
For a moment, laughter and crying mixed together, blending into the background music of the circus to form a harmony.
Osvid nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that everyone likes this performance very much."
"I am satisfied too," said Osvid. "Then ..."
Before he could finish his words, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.
Everyone was shocked.
What tricks is this madman going to play next?
The darkness suddenly swallowed up everything in his sight, causing Gu Qiufeng's pupils to dilate for a moment.
The hustle and bustle, because they were invisible, suddenly seemed to be distanced from him, as if the noise was whispering in the distance.
Osvid's voice came out from his confused sleep, with a bit of exasperation: "What's going on?"
Did something go wrong?
Or is this a new trick from Oswald?
But before Gu Qiufeng could react, he sensed countless non-human auras surrounding him because of his keen perception.
He paused for breath.
In the darkness, it seemed as if countless people were reaching out to take off his mask.
Being targeted.
Gu Qiufeng secretly said, "Oh no!"
Although he changed his clothes, he was indeed "famous" in the player forum. Gu Qiufeng was afraid of being recognized, and was also afraid of being exposed if he ran into Arcana unexpectedly, so he never took off the silver mask representing his identity as the Son of God.
This mask is too conspicuous.
Perhaps from the moment he entered the venue, he became one of the focus of everyone's attention.
Not only dark creatures, but also some players.
Osvid was probably unaware of this.
There was a very dangerous Arcana between him and the Son of God, and Osvid didn't dare to touch him at all.
so……
Gu Qiufeng put one hand on the armrest of the chair in the dark and said in a calm voice: "Osvid, is this your way of entertaining guests?"
Osvid seemed to curse softly in the distance.
Suddenly, a more dangerous aura than any other that intended to unmask him appeared beside Gu Qiufeng. The other dark creatures that intended to provoke and spy on Gu Qiufeng's face were immediately frightened back by Osvid.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, Saint. There are some unruly little mice in our venue," Osvid said with a smile, "Don't be angry, Saint. I will solve it for you."
Gu Qiufeng actually couldn't see anything, but he could recognize the direction of Osvid's voice, so he turned his head to face Osvid and said "hmm" softly.
Osvid's voice was a little anxious, but he still forced himself to ask Gu Qiufeng, "Son, is there anything else? I need to take someone to check the circus's lighting equipment."
Gu Qiufeng said: "Then go quickly."
He relaxed a little, seeing Osvid was so anxious, it should really be just an accident of power outage.
Osvid did not lie. The dark atmosphere on the field was suddenly alleviated a lot after his departure.
Just then, there was a rustling noise coming from the trio beside him.
"Did they really bite through the wires?" Guan Ciying asked, "However, in this medieval world, there is not even glass, so how can there be electricity?"
Li Shuntong said speechlessly: "Can you stop thinking about common sense at this time?"
"My brain waves are still connected to the mouse that bit the wires," Lin Chao continued, "Osvid is gone."
His ability is consciousness assimilation, but it is a bit useless and can only be used on players and dungeon creatures of lower levels than him. Therefore, in reality Lin Chaoxu can only control some small animals in the dungeon, such as mice, sparrows, etc., and provide assistance when necessary.
Guan Ciying leaned forward, passed Li Shuntong and touched Gu Qiufeng's arm: "Hey, Holy Son, we have bought you time, what exactly do you want us to wait for?"
Gu Qiufeng said, "No."
"Hmm?" Guan Ciying asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Qiufeng asked, "Lin Chaoxu, how many people can you see maintaining the power equipment?"
Lin Chaoxu exclaimed, "There are only three people: Oswald, the clown, and the magician."
Gu Qiufeng said: "Ah, they started running away after the power outage."
Osvid was more alert than he had imagined.
Like a rabbit that smells the wind, as soon as things go beyond the normal development, he will immediately shrink back into the cave and never come out again.
Osvid might not be able to determine whether the power outage was an accident or a coincidence, but it did not prevent him from asking all the dark creatures present to leave in advance.
He is really cunning.
"We, wouldn't have done something bad with good intentions, would we?" Guan Ciying asked nervously, "Holy Son, what's your attitude? Don't scare me."
Gu Qiufeng was amused by her reaction: "No. You did a great job."
"At least, Osvid's behavior of asking all his peers to retreat shows that he has become vigilant. At least today," Gu Qiufeng said, "you have saved all the survivors present."
Guan Ciying then let out a long sigh of relief.
As Gu Qiufeng told them, a sense of relief quietly arose in the trio.
Sure enough, when the smell of the dark creatures on the field had almost dissipated, Osvid reappeared in the dark hall, "Sorry."
He said frankly: "There is a serious problem with our circus circuit system. Today's performance will not be enjoyable for everyone. Please leave in an orderly manner."
The player sitting behind Gu Qiufeng said in disbelief: "Saved?"
Lin Chaoxu complained: "What serious damage to the electrical equipment? It's just that a rat gnawed an electric wire."
Guan Ciying: "What a lie! It's good enough to be alive!"
Gu Qiufeng mingled with the audience and left.
He actually felt a little regretful, because Gu Qiufeng originally wanted to let Arcana come to the rescue and show her the truth about the circus.
Now that he missed the opportunity, he had to find a way to expose Osvid's true identity on his own.
This time, he rejected the invitation of Guan Ciying and the other two and went back to the downtown area without them.
Gu Qiufeng waited at the entrance of the market for a while before finally seeing Arcana, who was led by the wooden man.
He waved one hand behind his back, and the wooden man nimbly hid in the blank card he was holding in his hand behind his back.
The cards disintegrated at his fingertips and disappeared into the air.
Akana saw Gu Qiufeng and said, "I just..."
Gu Qiufeng said: "I asked the little guy to call His Majesty over."
"Ah, so that's how it is." Arcana said, "It's getting late, Saint Son, would you like to come back to the palace for dinner?"
This was exactly what Gu Qiufeng was waiting for, and he quickly agreed.
Now, the truth about the circus has been discovered, and most of his main mission has been completed.
But there are still some mysteries about Arcana that Gu Qiufeng is puzzled about.
He wanted to try and see if Akana would suddenly attack him again tonight.
Are the Arcana who attacked him and the Arcana who now treats him as a friendly confidant the same person?
Gu Qiufeng said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the library after dinner."
"The Holy Son wants to study, that's great." Arcana said without even asking, "I'll have the maid give you the key later."
The two of them walked back to the palace, one in front of the other.
Akana did not take the carriage, but Gu Qiufeng felt that since the king of a country dared to leave the palace in plain clothes, he must have a lot of guards in secret.
So he said nothing, but just followed Arcana silently.
After a while, Akana said, "Does your friend want to come to the palace to play?"
Gu Qiufeng exclaimed "Ah" before realizing that Akana actually still remembered Guan Ciying.
Guan Ciying must be scared to death if she knew that the world boss cares about her so much, right?
Gu Qiufeng suppressed his smile and said, "Your Majesty, she has received a lot of commissions recently. Wait until she is not busy, and then come to the palace to play."
"It's okay. There's nothing fun in the palace. It depends on her wishes." Akana said, his eyebrows were a little depressed, "The splendor of the capital, the desert outside the city, and the starry sky in the distance are all better than the lifeless palace."
Gu Qiufeng opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Arcana seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
"I once had a personal knight whose dream was to become a traveling bard." Arcana seemed to be immersed in memories, and with a sigh she recalled a story from her past. "After she left the palace, she often sent me little trinkets she saw on the roadside and liked. One time, she saw a variety of roses that had never been seen in the capital, so she packed a bag of seeds and sent it back to me."
"I secretly planted it in the palace garden, next to her room, and I saw the roses she saw, growing wantonly and passionately."
Gu Qiufeng listened attentively. This should be the story of the female knight who looked like him.
A large part of Arcana's tolerance for him may have come from the fact that he was somewhat similar to Arcana's childhood playmate.
"What happened next?" Gu Qiufeng asked quietly, guiding Arcana, who was already immersed in his memories, to continue speaking.
Arcana's white eyelashes trembled twice.
"The rose grows better and better in this unsuitable place," Arcana said. "Did the Son see it?"
"That beautiful sea of roses was her last gift to me."
"Then she never wrote to me again. Maybe she had seen more roses of all kinds, so she never remembered the one she had given me."
Gu Qiufeng frowned.
From the description, it sounds like a player who has completed a dungeon?
