Chapter 86 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Part 7)
"Your Majesty," Freya said gently to Si Yisi, but her words were anything but gentle, "the seven races are preparing to form a team of warriors to attack us."
"Are you scared?" Si Yisi looked up.
“No,” Freya assured, “most of the so-called heroes who come will be a rabble. What we really need is to deal with the possible surprise attack by that secret organization in advance.”
"Leave it to me, I promise I'll do my best."
Si Yisi nodded, sensing Luo Xinxiu's shock, and then said to Freya, "I plan to leave here temporarily—don't worry, I won't desert my post."
"……good."
Freya paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Freya thoughtfully presented a small crimson cufflink, a magical artifact created by a powerful mage to conceal one's presence.
Freya clapped her hands again, summoning two humanoid dark creatures to prepare suitable clothes for Sis.
Luo Xinxiu spoke with slight surprise in Si Yisi's mind: "...You just left like that?"
After accepting the fact that Si Yisi was his game character, Luo Xinxiu's first reaction was, "The Boss just ran away so easily?"
If this were posted on a game forum, the players would probably go crazy. They might go through all that trouble to infiltrate the Demon King's palace, only to be greeted by an empty, abandoned territory.
Si Yisi raised an eyebrow and looked at herself in the mirror.
“I am the Demon King, but you are a player, aren’t you?” Si Yisi said. “Putting that relationship aside, wouldn’t it be easier for me to infiltrate the heroes’ teams and launch a pincer attack, giving them a more unforgettable experience?”
"Ah..." It seems like there's no mistake?
Luo Xinxiu was led by Si Yisi's line of thinking. He wanted to build a good reputation among the players, so it was unrealistic to avoid close contact with them.
His game character is a demon king who will be besieged, so knowing the strength of the heroes beforehand can indeed increase his survival rate.
This was actually a win-win situation. Luo Xinxiu didn't say anything, but he had already agreed in his heart.
Luo Xinxiu could have easily reported the error to the game company. A demon king character who was completely detached from his duties could have brought him countless resources.
However, Luo Xinxiu still did not put this occasional thought into practice.
Perhaps it was because the role of Si Yisi, the demon king, was just what Luo Xinxiu wanted.
Si Yisi sensed Luo Xinxiu's emotional fluctuations. Since their consciousnesses were in the same body, many things were actually completely transparent to each other.
Furthermore, Si Yisi already knew Luo Xinxiu well enough to know that he would definitely be persuaded.
Before changing into the magic artifact that concealed his aura, Si Yisi and Luo Xinxiu looked at the character panel of the Demon King.
There have been slight changes in both race and abilities.
Race: Fallen Elves, the Dark Walkers
ability:
Demon King Amplification - The Dark Lord's HP and Attack will increase, and the dark creatures he leads will gain double the speed and strength!
Note: Those beings under the Demon King's protection will receive the favor of darkness!
Si Yisi cast a detection spell on himself, and when he saw the health bar displayed as full of question marks, he smiled.
Si Yisi was teleported to a small human city via a teleportation array, and his pointed ears attracted the attention of many humans.
Although this is just a game, the character development of the passersby is very successful, and it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into it.
At this moment, Luo Xinxiu was in control of the body. He activated his elven talent and flew towards the human race's main city like the wind!
"Stop!" Luo Xinxiu was enjoying the feeling of the wind brushing against his cheeks and his legs firmly planted on the ground so much that he accidentally activated his talent and rushed directly into the human race's main city!
Luo Xinxiu was preoccupied with Luo Yi'an, so he had no time to check the forum. Naturally, he was unaware that after the Demon King appeared, all the major races' main cities had imposed no-fly orders.
"Who are you!" the leather-armored gatekeeper sternly rebuked the unruly elf before him. "Seize her!"
Several soldiers swarmed forward, extending long chains and binding Luo Xinxiu tightly.
Luo Xinxiu: "?"
Despite having many doubts and a gut feeling that he had gotten himself into trouble, Luo Xinxiu still did not choose to break free.
Angering NPCs is never a wise move; only fools would do it! However, Luo Xinxiu was a little worried about angering Si Yisi. After all, even a demon king should have some pride, right?
But Si Yisi quickly told him in his mind, "Don't struggle."
Because he sensed the presence of someone he knew!
"Go!" The armored soldier glanced warily at the elf, intending to roughly shove her forward.
A male voice suddenly interrupted: "Huh? Hua Mo, what are you doing here?"
Lie Jiu Qinghan walked over, his clothes were exquisite and gorgeous, quite aristocratic.
He patted the squad leader on the shoulder: "Captain, this is an elf I know. She means no harm. Please let her go for my sake."
The strong liquor and cold air were clearly doing quite well in the human capital city. As soon as he pleaded, the squad leader bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency, I'll release him right away!"
Viscount?
Si Yisi wasn't surprised at all, after all, Liejiu Qinghan had a huge gaming guild backing him. He had also discovered Liejiu Qinghan's presence early on—he was actually by the city gate before he was surrounded by soldiers.
He timed this perfectly to play the hero and save the "damsel in distress"!
Si Yisi glanced at Liejiu Qinghan with an ambiguous expression, wondering how he would react if he knew that there was a man under this "female" skin.
They will most likely try to avoid it.
In Luo Xinxiu's previous life, he clearly felt that he and Liejiu Qinghan had become bosom friends.
But in reality, the strong liquor and cold air were actually targeting him with ulterior motives!
Therefore, after realizing that Luo Xinxiu was not the same as he had imagined, Liejiu Qinghan quickly and readily accepted Luo Yi'an as his replacement.
This is the highest probability that Si Yisi could deduce.
"Hua Mo, remember to check the forum next time. There are many useful guides there. Recently, the Imperial City has been in chaos because of the appearance of the Demon King boss. Players without a guild foundation may find it very difficult to progress."
After laying the groundwork, Liejiu Qinghan brought up the matter of recruiting "her" into the group again.
"...No, I'm very sorry."
Luo Xinxiu shook his head. Following the guild would be much more friendly to players, but in his current situation, it was impossible for him to keep up with the guild's pace.
Lie Jiu Qinghan's expression changed slightly, but he still said in a friendly manner, "It's alright. Whenever Hua Mo changes his mind, our Shengxing Dynasty Guild will always welcome you to join us!"
After saying that, Liejiu Qinghan brought up another matter: "Has Huamo ever returned to the elven village where he awakened his talent?"
“I’ll answer,” Si Yisi said. “Otherwise, with your ability to cover up, there’s a 90% chance you’ll be caught red-handed.”
Luo Xinxiu was too "fair-skinned" and almost didn't know how to hide his expressions. But this couldn't be blamed on Luo Xinxiu, who had been self-studying at home from beginning to end.
Si Yisi would help him in any way she could, since Luo Xinxiu had never experienced the same kind of trouble as his sister.
"No, what happened?"
Liejiu Qinghan asked in surprise, "Such a large elven village simply vanished into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace. You really didn't see anything?"
Si Yisi hesitated: "Sorry... I logged off a long time ago and didn't see anything."
As he refuted him, he noticed that Liejiu Qinghan didn't believe him at all! Liejiu Qinghan was able to hold the position of president of the Shengxing Dynasty Guild, which already gave him considerable prestige.
But... a man as undisguisedly ambitious as Liejiu Qinghan possesses not only great courage but also a far greater suspicion than others.
These kinds of people will only believe what they find out through their own investigations.
Si Yisi sighed and said to Luo Xinxiu, "If you ever notice players spying on you, don't easily take action against them."
"?" Luo Xinxiu was puzzled.
"Liejiu Qinghan didn't believe me, so he'll definitely investigate further. His guild is Shengxing Guild; you know the consequences of messing with them!"
Luo Xinxiu knew all about staking out corpses and offering bounties for their capture. If it really came to that, then this game account would be completely ruined!
"Hmm," he replied listlessly, his impression of the strong liquor's cool and refreshing taste was far from positive.
The strong liquor and cold air were about to have a conversation with Si Yisi when, suddenly, something unexpected happened!
The piercing alarm bells echoed throughout the human capital city as a group of soldiers stumbled and ran toward Liejiu Qinghan!
The man, named Liejiu Qinghan, grabbed a soldier and asked him, "What happened?"
The young soldier struggled desperately: "The city is falling! The city is falling! The Demon King's minions... those dark creatures are attacking the city!"
"What?!"
Freya propped her cheek up and absently scratched the tabletop with her fingertips.
For the king's safety, she temporarily changed the first target of her attack to the human race's imperial city!
Although the dark creatures have not yet fully gathered, and there is little chance of them breaching the imperial city, Freya has already trained a group of elite dark creatures who will definitely cripple the human race!
And... this also allows the king to see what the dark creatures she has raised look like when they are fighting!
Go—attack the city!
