Chapter 144
The royal city is ablaze with bright lights at night, and players are either laughing and playing on the streets or rushing to get on their way. In short, all you can see is prosperity.
All the major stores are as crowded as they are during the day, and some are even doing better business than during the day.
This is normal. Not all players are students. Some of them are working people and can only log into the game after getting home from get off work.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, players were wailing in front of a store.
"What's going on? The store is closing so early? I've been waiting in line for over an hour!"
"Sister, I just want to have a bowl of dessert, why does the store always close early..."
"Is this the third time the shop has closed early this week? What is Ashaya doing?"
"Oh, let's not get involved in NPC matters. Just shut it down and come back tomorrow~"
…
The players chattered and complained, but Xia Mo listened calmly.
After the players had dispersed, she quietly climbed over the wall and entered the shop.
In the direction of the kitchen, which should have been pitch black, a cluster of firelight appeared in the closed glass window.
In the dim light, a figure appeared first.
Then the second and third.
Xia Mo lowered his footsteps and breathing, and gently pressed his body against the window.
"We haven't received any news today. Should we continue the operation?" A deep male voice sounded.
“Why didn’t you receive it?”
Instead of answering the question directly, a soft and tender female voice asked back.
The person who asked the question was none other than the shop owner, Ashaya.
Man: "The border is too far from the royal city. It's inevitable that there will be accidents with the magic circle we set up."
"Accident?" Ashaya asked, her voice rising. "Is this the skill you demonstrated?"
The room fell silent, and then Ashaya said, "Never mind. I'm doing this for myself anyway. If you guys fail halfway, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, the man suddenly chuckled: "But from what I understand, Miss Ashaya, you don't have the ability to overthrow the royal city. Otherwise, how could you contact us?"
This time it was Ashaya's turn to remain silent.
After a while, she also smiled and said, "Don't be too flattering to your demon clan. You should know that hundreds of years ago, you were defeated by our wizard clan."
"you……!"
After a roar of anger, the demon man snorted coldly and sneered: "You said that too, that was hundreds of years ago. What about now? Look at how many of your wizard clan are left? And look at our great demon clan. They have long taken root and grown in the continent of Vazetilan, becoming one of the most powerful clans."
The tone of voice suddenly changed.
"Ms. Ashaya, I advise you to put aside your wizard's pride. We are now in the same boat. A falling out will not benefit anyone."
After a long while, Ashaya finally spoke coldly: "Then proceed as planned, build the teleportation array, and open the channel on time in 7 days."
The people in the house stood up and the lights went out.
Ding, a system prompt suddenly sounded in my ears.
[Trigger special mission [Ashaya's Conspiracy]: The pastry chef in the royal city seems to be planning a conspiracy. After overhearing the truth, will you choose to turn a blind eye or bravely fight?]
Asaya is a descendant of the wizard clan. Xia Mo learned this when he was doing the physical strengthening mission in Blade's Edge Fjord.
At that time, she thought that in her previous life, Ashaya launched an anti-royal city movement because a player accepted a related task, causing Ashaya, who was originally inclined towards the royal city, to become a traitor.
However, that time she learned that Asaya was a descendant of the Yasi wizard, and that the Yasi people had been betrayed by their gods. The gods, in the few official explanations given, had many connections with the royal city.
The seeds of racial hatred were buried deep in Ashaya's heart, and when the time was right, the seeds would burst out of the ground.
And this ripe time refers to the day when the continents of Vazetilan and Pergas are connected.
At that time, she will use the hands of the Vazetilan demons and players to overthrow the royal city and re-establish a new regime.
The rebellion led by Asaya dealt a heavy blow to the unprepared Royal City. Fires engulfed the city, destroying buildings, burning shops, and disrupting quest lines...
Because of this incident, the continent of Pergas was severely damaged, and the players on the continent became sluggish. It was not until the fourth year of the game that the morale of the players on the planet Alman was finally restored and they completely got out of the shadow of Asaya's rebellion.
But the past is different from today.
Because of her rebirth, many plots that would have happened many years later, both in the game and in reality, were brought forward in this life.
Winning the mecha competition, cooperation with the capital star, the opening and interconnection of the Vazetilan continent... These historical events that would not happen until two years later, now, driven by her, a reborn person, are happening at the beginning of this year.
The downside is that players were caught off guard in the previous life, and everyone will be even more confused in this life.
But the benefits are also obvious, that is, with her as a prophet, she will try every means to stop this rebellion.
Looking at the task pop-up box still in front of him, Xia Mo took it without hesitation.
The city was brightly lit, while outside, dark waves hidden in the moonlight surged.
In an extremely hidden cave somewhere, two dark shadows, one fat and one thin, disappeared into it.
The fat one walked in front. He rubbed his hands, sat down on the spot, then lowered his head and began to draw something on the ground.
As the pattern was about to be completed, he stretched out in a relaxing manner.
And just as he relaxed, a chill pressed against his back, followed by something even colder against his throat.
His pupils opened, but before he could shout for help, his strong body fell limply onto the stone.
Xia Mo wiped the dagger clean, squatted down and turned on the flashlight.
The beam of light was aimed at the pattern on the ground. Just as he was about to take a look, he heard rustling footsteps outside.
Someone.
She immediately turned off the flashlight, stepped on the stones beside her, and climbed to the top of the cave like a gecko, hiding herself in the shadow above.
A few voices drifted into my ears, and when I listened carefully, I found out that they were players passing by.
Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone left, she jumped down and turned on the flashlight again to check.
The so-called teleportation array was not complicated. Xia Mo understood the logic after just a few glances.
This teleportation array is used by the demons. It is different from the one drawn by the human race, but the underlying logic is the same. Xia Mo picked up the special pen that was released by the demons on the ground and modified it. After a few minutes, a new pattern took shape.
Xia Mo curled the corners of his mouth, put away the pen, and then summoned a spirit to carry the dead demon away.
"Throw it into the river, and be careful not to be discovered."
Jingjing nodded, walked on the night wind, and quietly entered the woods.
In another cave, Xia Mo did the same thing, easily knocking down the second demon, and then used the same method to modify the unformed teleportation array.
As for why she knew all this, don't forget, she was the first person in the royal city to eat public food - a librarian.
Xia Mo, who has been promoted to level 7, has more rights in the Royal Library, one of which is the number of books he can read.
When she was only level 1, the only books she could borrow were those about the modern history of the royal city. Later, when she reached level 2, she discovered that economic books were also available. Then, when she reached level 3 and level 4...
Until now, at level 8, she has the right to borrow most of the information except for some information involving the royal city's top secrets.
The magic circle book is one of the books she is allowed to read.
"The Architecture and Drawing Logic of the Continental General Formation", "Summary and Detailed Explanation of Branch Magic Formations"... Since she can easily get in touch with these fields, why should Xia Mo be so reluctant about knowledge?
On many quiet nights, she memorized one magic circle book after another.
With such a rich knowledge reserve, are you still afraid that you can't handle a small teleportation array?
She killed several demons overnight.
She snapped her fingers, and the demon was carried into the river again by the spirit.
That night, I went offline.
Everything was so quiet as if nothing had happened.
