Infinite Throne

   Chapter 368 How can the years be quiet (2 in 1)

   "Negotiation."

  Irin played with the dagger and smiled.

"Say."

  Hermelos was output by Irin, but there was no anger on his face.

   Really deserves to be the national iceberg male god.

   "I want a fully functional airship, and I also need to borrow a team of people who know how to operate the airship."

"it is good."

  “?”

   Hermelos readily agreed.

   Almost as soon as Irin said the conditions, he agreed without hesitation.

The speed of    made Yi Rin stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"What did you say?"

"…,it is good."

   "That promises?"

"Can."

   "Well, to be honest, I thought you would resist a little."

  “…”

  …

   Just as Irene and the big boss Hermelos were in this strange negotiating atmosphere, they were asking and answering.

  Irin's ear dinged again unsurprisingly.

   The sound is crisp and pleasant.

Ding!

  【Accept the side quest: The Compromise of Hermelos. 】

  【…】

   The cue stuck for a while.

  【Complete the side quest: The Compromise of Hermelos. 】

  【Obtain the temporary permission to use the mid-level floating craft 'Faradie'. 】

  【Obtain the temporary command authority of the twin lion country floating airship pilot unit. 】

  This side quest…

   Before he had time to brush out the content, it was completed by Yi Rin at the speed of light.

  Accepting a task and completing it at the same instant.

   This kind of quest should not be generated temporarily, does it mean to take a cutscene?

  Irin had a strange thought in his mind.

   But no matter what, since the system prompt pops up, it means that Irin's bold idea has been realized.

   Through peaceful negotiation, he was moved by emotion and reason, and persuaded Hermelos to lend a floating airship, as well as a team of pilots who knew how to control the floating airship.

   In fact, it is really not difficult for Irin and others to grab a floating airship.

   The difficulty is... no one can drive it!

   The vehicle control system is so complicated that this game makes it clear that it is deliberately embarrassing the player!

  Irin stood across from Hermelos, far away, and read the prompt several times.

   doesn't look anything tricky.

   System authentication.

  God supervises, no problem.

  Irin closed the panel.

   "So, goodbye?"

  Irin tentatively said something and was about to leave.

"Ah."

   What Yi Rin didn't expect was that Hermelos, who had a stern face from start to finish, suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

  What the hell?

   This guy actually laughed?

  Irin, who was slowly retreating into the darkness, stopped abruptly.

   Before Irene could react, Hermelos took a step forward while holding the sheathed long sword tightly after Irene took a step back.

   The moment Hermelos made a move, the air around him that had calmed down a bit became heavier again.

  Hemelos' step seemed to have stepped on Yi Rin's chest, giving Yi Rin the illusion that he was so depressed that it was hard to breathe.

   In this step, he was also stuck in the safe distance that Irin thought.

   is not far or near, one more step is not much, and one less step is not a lot.

   Hermelos laughed.

  Although the corners of his mouth rose slightly, Irin could see clearly this time, and this guy was indeed smiling.

  Irin suddenly had a bad feeling.

   "This is a convention."

   "I will give you what you want. If you breach the contract, I will kill you in the ends of the earth."

  Hemelos smiled and said such a sentence.

   It was obvious that he was laughing, but Irin felt in a trance that Hermelos at this moment was much more terrifying than when he was not smiling.

   "You still... stop laughing."

  Irin shook his head.

  Hemelos was in the moonlight, and the heavy armor reflected the moonlight.

   After a moment of silence, he said softly, "It seems that you really don't know much about this world."

"What's the meaning?"

   "Leave 'Gaia', where can you go?"

  Irin was taken aback.

   Seeing Irin's expression fluctuate, Hermelos quickly restrained his smile and continued: "It seems that the 'prophecy' is true."

   prophecy.

  Irin once again heard this overwhelming vocabulary from the mouth of the NPC.

   seems to be the background setting of "player".

In many games, to increase the player's sense of substitution, they often use some identities such as "the summoned person", "the chosen person", "the hero from another world" to increase the player's sense of substitution and mission sense, so that players can have a more perfect immersive experience.

   was nothing at first, but as soon as he said it from the mouth of the NPC, no matter which player he was, he would instantly feel taller.

  Irin did not interrupt.

  Hemelos continued: "Cloud calendar, in three, three, three, three years, there will be a 'brave' who will cross the border from another world to save this world."

   "I, originally did not believe."

   "Now, I don't believe it either."

   Hermelos' angular facial features are as cold as iron.

   I saw that this skill was like a plug-in BOSS, Hermelos, in front of Irene, slowly raised the long sword in his hand. The surrounding air trembled slightly when Hermelos raised his sword, making a clanging sound like a sharp sword shaking.

  Irin's face changed.

Isn't    just an NPC, does he need to give such outrageous appearance effects?

   When Irin was surprised.

Hermelos said in an unwavering tone and sonorous words: "I believe in only my 'magical sword'. All disasters, with my sword, is enough to pacify. If one sword is not enough, then two swords. "

   I know you are awesome, so let’s talk about the world view quickly.

  Irin thought.

  But Yi Rin took another step back honestly.

   For fear of the boss of Hermelos, he didn't talk about martial arts, and he killed him with a sword.

  Irin took a deep breath without interrupting.

  After making the declaration of invincibility, Hermelos quickly put down the long sword, stood up on the sword again, put on the original pose, and changed his voice: "But I believe that you do not belong to this world."

   What if you see it?

   Want to give you an award?

  Irin pouted.

  Irin originally wanted to make Hermelos speak quickly.

But it took a long time for Yilin to escape from the prison, and until the confrontation with Hermelos, no other guards came to help. Yilin guessed that it might have triggered some kind of hidden plot or something, so even if Hemelos was in the confrontation, no other guards came to help. No matter how long-winded Melos was, he could only listen patiently and wait quietly.

   Sure enough, according to the rules of the game, Hermelos still revealed the "worldview background" that Irin had never had time to inquire about.

   "Legend, the gods created the world with seven giant beasts."

   "Earth, Gaia."

   "Wind, Aioros."

   "Fire, Poros."

   "Ice, Pagos."

   "Light, Aurora."

   "Water, Poseidon."

After   Hemelos finished speaking, he did not change his actions, but fell into a brief silence.

  Irin waited for a while, but he didn't see Hermelos speak, so he took the initiative to attack, counted three times with his fingers, and said suspiciously: "Seven giant beasts, but you only said six."

"It does not matter."

   Hermelos slowly shook his head.

  What the hell?

  The difference between seven and six is ​​so outrageous that it doesn't matter?

  Irin always felt that Hermelos was hiding something.

But the BOSS holds one of the forty-nine "Divine Swords" in the whole game, so powerful that Irin can't stab in it, nor can he pry Hermelos' mouth open, so he can only temporarily let the BOSS say it's not important. .

   "Wait...Gaia...the giant beast?" Yi Rin suddenly gasped, with a slightly startled expression: "You mean, the land under our feet was transformed after the death of the giant beast?"

   "Dead?" Hermelos said surprisingly: "It's alive."

  “!”

  Irin was shocked.

   Don’t be surprised.

   He never imagined that the world view of this game would be such a wild setting.

  In the vast sea of ​​clouds, the seven-headed beast gods incarnated the land, and countless "people" built cities and gathering places on the backs of the beast gods. From the beginning of the game, Yilin walked from Gaia South to Gaia North, and then from Gaia West to Gaia East. I never thought that this vast journey only happened on the back of a "giant beast". ?

   What a magnificent world view this is!

"The giant beasts are moving all the time. In the vast sea of ​​clouds, there are no 'road signs'. Even if you have a boat, you can't find other giant beasts. In the end, the fuel can only be exhausted, and they will become floating in the depths of the sea of ​​​​clouds. 'Dead ship', or, falling into the abyss."

  Irin finally understood.

   It turned out that Hermelos had this idea.

After Hermelos told the truth, he knew that Yiren, who had been put together, laughed angrily, and said, "You mean, you are only responsible for the floating boat and the people who can drive the boat, not for me. A 'road sign' to other 'giant beasts'? What's the difference between you and a hooligan?"

"Ah."

  Hemelos lowered his head and chuckled lightly.

   He also seemed to know that he was playing a hooligan.

   But he still played.

   After laughing, Hermelos looked calm.

   "Double lion country, 100,000 people, you won't suffer from a floating airship. But if you default..."

  Hermelos didn't finish the next sentence.

   When the man of iceberg, the sword saint, the great knight of the town, and the dream husband of the girl of thousands of lions, stopped talking, Hermelos let go a little, and the exquisite two-handed sword bounced an inch strangely. With a bang, the sword light leaked from the scabbard, making the surrounding moonlight suddenly dim.

   That ray of light also hurt Irin's eyes.

   made Irin's eyes narrow.

The threat in    is self-evident.

  Irin was silent.

The meaning of   Hermelos is clear.

   Floating craft, and people, I can give you.

  The condition is that you do not assassinate any one of the 100,000 people in the Twin Lions.

  Irin also agreed.

   This is the deal.

  Irin also completed the side quests and got the rewards he deserved.

   As for what Hermelos said, the "road sign" that guides the airship to other giant beasts, that is another matter, and it has nothing to do with this matter.

  But if Yilin breaches the contract and threatens the super BOSS of Hermelos to hand over the "signpost" again in the same way, it is very likely that he will bear the wrath of a high-ranking BOSS. Although this Gaia is big, as long as Yiren can't run away, she will be caught up by Hermelos sooner or later, and it's not worth it.

  The price/performance ratio is not high.

After   Irin figured out the key, he smiled, but was a little depressed.

   "No wonder you locked me in that so-called 'deeply guarded' cell, knowing that I was good at escaping. It turns out that everything was as you expected."

   "Let me think about it, nothing more than... murder?"

   "That makes sense. The weather, the right place, the people, and the things of the day, no one would doubt it."

   "Hehe, I thought it was strange before, if everyone in this country followed the so-called 'Knighthood' and behaved like that, this country would not survive at all."

   "Some people are insidious and some people are stupid, this is reasonable."

   "How can the years be quiet, it's just someone walking forward with a load."

  Irin muttered to himself.

   is over.

  Irin opened her eyes again and looked at Hermelos.

   "Say, who to kill?"

  Hemelos seemed to have expected this question from Irene.

   His palm shook.

   A "hidden weapon" flew towards Irin.

  Irin didn't panic.

   After all, Hermelos' rank is there, and if you really want to do something to Irin, there's no need for such a small trick.

   And the "hidden weapon" was unpleasant, Irin easily caught it.

  Irin found that what he received was a "mini" crystal.

   Only about the size of a fingernail.

  Hermelos explained: "Crystal of message, crushed."

   Concise and concise.

   Of course, as a player, even if Hemelos didn’t need to explain, Iren also showed the corresponding item information.

  Irin smiled and pinched the crystal in her palm into powder.

   In the blink of an eye, a faint ray of light floated up from the messenger crystal that was crushed into powder, and penetrated into Irin's brow.

  In this game world, "Crystal" has many functions and endless wonderful uses.

   I don't know how to make it.

  Irin always feels that behind these "crystal" functions is not just a simple program.

   At the top of the Holy See branch in Port Isita, Yilin looked at the pattern of the defense formation composed of seven crystals. From the complicated and obscure patterns, Yilin seemed to have caught some tricks, but he couldn't make it clear.

   "This game world is really big, big."

  Irin thought, but for some reason, she was a little happy.

   He felt that this game became more and more interesting.

   The original main line objective [leave this game world], although it has not changed. But during this journey, Yi Rin gradually became less anxious to leave. During the journey into this world, Yi Rin discovered a lot of deep fun in the game, and became more and more addicted to it.

   As a player, is it not normal to be addicted to "games"?

   while thinking.

   The rays of light that penetrated into the heart of Yi Rin's eyebrows, turned into clear and clear messages, appeared in front of Yi Rin's eyes.

   "This is really black technology."

  Irin scrutinized the piece of information a little, his expression condensed slightly, but in amazement, he looked at Hermelos with a strange look at the same time.

  【Accept the side quest: The Deal of Hermelos! 】

  【Quest Objective: Complete Hermelos' 'Peace List'. 】

  【Current progress: 0/20. 】

  【Mission Difficulty: S】

  【Task time limit: 6 hours. 】

  【Quest reward: Designate the giant beast "Navigation Pointer"*2. 】

   Peace List?

  Irin took a deep breath and said, "This is your real purpose."

   Hermelos fell silent.

"why?"

  Irin asked again.

   is not Yilin gossip.

   Rather, he really wanted to know why.

   The deeper you go into the game, the more you want to understand the story.

   "This is just a deal." Hermelos smiled, and there was no joy or sorrow in his smile.

"Row."

  Irin nodded, since the other party didn't say anything, Irin couldn't get to the bottom of it.

   This quest is an S-rank branch.

   And apparently, there is no limit to the number of people.

   Maybe you can share it with your friends.

   But Yi Rin had no such plans.

  According to his speculation, the reason why this mission is S-rank is because of the difficulty of the game mechanism.

to him…

   No wonder Hermelos approached him in this way.

   "There is one more question." In the darkness, Yi Rin's eyes were bright. Homeros is one of the characters that Irene dare not treat as an NPC in this game world, so he asked again, "Why 6 hours?"

Snapped.

  Hemelos seemed to expect Iren to ask this question.

   Soon after the problem appeared, Hermelos did not hide it, and directly stated the reason.

   "Six hours later, before the sun rises, Pope Dige Augie Anthony will lead the Holy See army to arrive at the Twin Lions."

  Irin's pupils shrank.

   Sure enough.

  In the Kingdom of Twin Lions, there is also the presence of the Holy See.

   Wanted notices are posted on the door. If it is said that there is no small branch of the Holy See in the Twin Lions country, Yilin will kill him and will not believe it.

   And in the normal game process, the Holy See is a functional organization used by "players" to change careers, it is impossible to have it.

   Even if the scale of a small branch is not as big as that of Port Isita, there should be, and there will still be.

   Huh, wait a minute?

   Holy See branch?

   Maybe there is also a "blood drop of the saint" hidden in it?

  Even if there is none, maybe there are a lot of valuable things?

   While analyzing the problem, a bold idea flashed in Yi Rin's mind.

   But he didn't have time to think about it.

  The situation is grim.

   "6 hours, that's enough. Then after 6 hours, what do you use to cross?"

   "This is my business," Hermelos closed his eyes again: "This is a deal."

   "Oh, yes, a deal."

  Irin smiled kindly and stepped back slowly.

   stepped back and said, "I have the final say on what means to use to complete the transaction. If things get bigger, I hope you don't regret it in the end."

   Hermelos frowned suddenly.

   His eyes did not fall on Irin, who was gradually retreating into the darkness, but raised his head and stared at the full moon.

   "Ah, today's moon is very noisy."

   He didn't seem to see Yiren running away, and Hermelos continued to talk to himself: "I don't know if the felons in the prison have any thoughts of escaping?"

   "Master, can you enjoy drinking wine?"

   "Well, let's go and have a look."

   said he was going, but Hermelos did not move.

   also "did not" see Irin.

  Irin was taken aback.

   immediately understood what Hermelos meant.

  This country is really interesting.

  Hermelos is a knight of the new era.

   is very… pragmatic.

  Irin dives back into the darkness.

  Stock, in the training ground, Hermelos' posture did not change.

   The two-handed sword, the dazzling crystal at the end of the hilt, shone with light.

   A girl's voice, slightly puzzled, asked: "Can we trust him?"

  Hemelos was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently: "This is a deal."

  Girl: "…"

  Hemelos walked slowly to the bright spot in the center of the courtyard shortly after Irene left.

   There are still many guards here, patrolling dutifully.

   In the palace, the banquet has come to an end. The dignitaries and ministers of the kingdom, escorted by their own personal guards, went home, and in the second half of the second half, they did not continue to stay in the royal city.

   "Those repeat offenders escaped."

   "From now on, the entire city will be under martial law, and those wanted criminals will be searched out again."

  Hermelos gave orders quickly.

   After chasing for a long time during the day, several felons who were caught with great difficulty escaped again. This news, centered on the inner city wall and the king city, spread throughout the Shuangshi Kingdom in a very short period of time.

  The whole city shook.

  The lights in the city were extinguished, and the citizens of the Twin Lions who went to sleep early woke up one after another.

   On the street, the crystal lamps on the roadside turned on again, and the whole city, like a city that never sleeps under the night sky, was as bright as day.

  The flags of the double lion country are fluttering in the night wind.

  Kakaka…

The    army swarmed out, once again launching a carpet search in the twin lion country.

   This time, many guards had experience, and the focus of the search was on the city wall.

   "Recidivists are very good at climbing walls."

  This inertial thinking is deeply embedded in the minds of every guard who has participated in the pursuit.

   In the vicinity of the military port, Hermelos also deployed a large number of troops.

   Many dignitaries and ministers who were still in the King City of Twin Lions not long ago, who had been drinking and talking, were so frightened that they put their heads in the bed when they heard the news, and the mansion was surrounded by guards.

  …

at the same time.

  Shuangshiguo Street.

   From time to time, strange shadows rotate, twist, and sway.

  Irin uses the darkness to quickly walk through various shadows.

   "Is the purpose of Hermelos to make this matter bigger?"

   "Everyone knows?"

  Irin swiped down with her index finger and opened the [System] panel.

  【Double Lions Prestige-100】

  【Double Lions Prestige-100】

  …

The prestige of   Twin Lions is declining.

  Even if Yilin hasn't started doing anything yet, this reputation has dropped even more outrageously than the stock market crash, plummeting.

   This is the so-called desire plus sin, and there is no excuse for it.

   Intimidation, inducement, and persuasion are all there.

   "But why don't I hate it?"

  Irin felt puzzled.

   Instead, he felt that Hermelos' approach was normal.

  Speaking of which, this BOSS really doesn’t look like a competent NPC.

   While thinking about it, Irin closed the panel and took out the communication crystal from the [Prop].

  …

at the same time.

  In the royal city.

   in a heavily guarded prison.

  The jailer was still sound asleep.

   On the ceiling, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard from time to time.

  Crack, crack, crack.

   It was like a group of knights dancing together on the ground above the prison.

   In the darkness, Erpang Li patted his bulging belly and ate some private goods that he had been saving for a long time. He burped contentedly and said, "It seems like something happened up there?"

   "Is that him?"

  Ning You smiled.

"It's him."

   Xiao Chuer is very sure.

   They are also getting used to the days when Irin is not around.

  As the protagonist of the assassin, he is often absent-minded, isn't it right?

  Ning You and Xiao Chuer have always believed that in this trial, the "Protagonist of Yi Rin" is the person who is entangled in luck in the trial.

  Whether it is good luck or bad luck, in short, it is impossible to entangle.

   If this is an abuse of the main character, the protagonist will definitely die in the end, then following the protagonist, the protagonist is guaranteed to absorb a lot of bad luck.

   And if this is Shuangwen, it is even more correct to follow the protagonist. After all, the protagonist in Shuangwen always kills the villain in various ways.

  No matter what, Ning You and Xiao Chuer, as apostles, sneaking in the trials and taking action with the help of the general trend, will never suffer.

Li Erpang smiled and squinted his eyes, very wretched: "What kind of skills do you have? Can you beat you or something? Is it time to fix it? The proof hypothesis is that now is the best time to escape."

  Ning You and Xiao Chuer did not refute.

   After all, now is indeed the best time to escape.

   And just when Ning You was about to release his best innate skill "I'm standing here, you hit me", he felt the communication crystal and flashed.

   is Irin.

   Sure enough, it was him.

  Ningyou connected the call.

  In the communication crystal, there was a black one, and Ning You didn't know where Yi Rin was hiding now, and he couldn't even see the other party's face clearly.

   But Irin's voice was transmitted through the communication crystal word for word.

   "The situation has changed, you must, absolutely, must not run around casually, stay in the cell with peace of mind, and don't move around. Understand?"

  “…”
