Quadruple split

"What thunder?"

Accompanied by this suspicious inquiry mixed with a little surprise, Gaheres froze in place as if struck by lightning, and fell into a state of confusion.

You know, like most players, Gahres has almost never used his real name in [The Bound of Innocence]. Although he has not deliberately concealed it, he has no real acquaintances around him. Wen Qiu Even though he had never asked about this matter, he asked himself that he had never mentioned his real name to anyone, and the only person who had the information that [Gaheres] was [Ho Lei] was the one he entered back then. The reason why this game is cheated is the group led by Zhou Si, whose game ID is [Lancelot], who is passionate about bullying.

Of course, after being specially recruited by the current school that Zhou Si and others could not even dream of getting into, Gaheres can be said to have bid farewell to the past, stayed away from the nightmare high school life, and started a path to success. There is no other reason than that the students who graduated from that school are very valuable, and students like him who were specially recruited into the laboratory of a certain academician in his freshman year are even rarer, even though his mentor, Academician Mu Changchun, He is so low-key that it is almost impossible to find this person, but even so, if Gaheres can successfully graduate, the matter of jumping to another level is absolutely certain. To put it bluntly, let alone he is really suitable for academics, even if he is a fool , that is also a gold-plated and diamond-studded straw bag of the highest quality. Although his social status is not as high as that of a super-high-class family like Zhou Si, it is certainly not lower.

To sum up, in Gaheres's subconscious, the people who can call out his name in the game are definitely Zhou Si and others who he least wants to get involved with and just want to sweep the relevant memories into the trash can. , so the sweat on his head had already dropped before turning his head. However, when he saw the old man walking out slowly from behind Arthur, his eyes widened in confusion.

There is no other reason. The main reason is that Gahres is almost certain that the other party cannot be Zhou Si's group just by looking at their age. You must know that without any accidents, the age of the player in the Innocence Realm is different from that in reality. Basically, they are in the same proportion, just like a 20-year-old player should be a 20-year-old human, dwarf, or dwarf in the game. If it is some pure-blooded elves whose average life span is about 1,000 years old, it is convenient to be lazy when assuming the average human life span. In the case of calculation of 100 years old, it is equivalent to 200 years old.

In other words, the dwarf old man in front of him must be at least sixty or seventy years old just by looking at it. There is absolutely no way he could be the same age as Gaheres. Although the old man's voice and appearance made him feel familiar, for a moment it was Can't seem to remember.

Fortunately, as He Lei's mentor, Merlin saw Gaheres' confusion and immediately spoke up to answer the latter's questions——

"I am Mu Changchun."

Although he is not very tall in reality, after all, Merlin, who is a different race from the dwarf race in the game, said lightly, and then gently patted the white coat on his body that was stained with various liquids and bloodstains. The reporter returned to his original clean and white state and asked casually: "Do you recognize it?"

Gahres was shocked: "Mentor!?"

Next to him, Arthur, who was willing to give Gaheres a piece of noodles just because he asked for Qiu, suddenly widened his eyes and whispered: "Oh."

"Eh?"

Wenqiu, who had just been coaxed by Arthur, also opened his eyes wide. He hid behind Gaheres and looked at Merlin, curiously asking: "Is this old man your cold-faced and warm-hearted mentor, Brother Lei?"

"Cold face and warm heart..."

Arthur twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression as subtle as if he had just been forcibly put on Artoria's skin.

"It's true that I am his mentor, but I am not enthusiastic."

Merlin replied to Wenqiu concisely and then raised his head again to look at Gahres: "What is your name in this game?"

The latter scratched his hair in embarrassment, and replied obediently with lowered eyebrows: "Uh...Gaheres..."

"oh."

Merlin nodded casually and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"No...nothing..."

Gahres pursed his lips while sweating profusely, and subconsciously moved a step to look at the man behind him. From an objective point of view, he had no moral character at all. He had committed countless evil deeds in this game, even if they were considered heinous. The girl who was described as slightly tolerant stood behind her and said dryly: "Just... walking around..."

Merlin raised his eyebrows and repeated meaningfully: "Walking around?"

"Well, walking around has no purpose."

Gahres nodded vigorously, and while gently pressing Wenqiu's curious little face back, he said seriously: "This child is a relative of mine. She is not in good health and can't go out very much, so I take her with me whenever I have time. Walk around and look at the scenery. The scenery in this game is... pretty good..."

Although the lead-like gray clouds above his head and the indescribable weird atmosphere around him made Gaheres feel a little unsure of what he said, he still had the courage to explain it to Merlin. In a strict sense, everyone except himself Apart from asking about Qiu's relatives and 'forgetting' to explain that the girl was actually an uncontrollable weapon of mass destruction, Gaheres was actually quite honest. After all, the two of them had been talking to each other since they left the Northeast Continent. Wandering aimlessly, get what you need on this not-so-short journey.

At that time, Gahres, who was lost and in despair, tried to find redemption in the process of accompanying Wenqiu. In fact, the latter did accompany him through the most difficult period, which made the original surface of Something on the surface fell silent again, and when Gaheres successfully arrived at the school and met the instructor Mu Changchun and the senior sister who took great care of him, he was almost like a normal person when he was alone. .

Because of this, Gahres has always been very grateful to Wenqiu, and will work hard to establish a correct, good and sound outlook on the girl during the journey. However, only he knows in his heart that he has been wrong from the beginning. It is impossible to succeed. If there is a reason, I am afraid that many of the words coming out of his mouth are too pale while the truth remains unchanged.

That was not superficial clumsiness, nor was it the fact that Gahres himself did not act in accordance with the 'correct' actions he advocated, but a sense of inconsistency that could not be explained in words or scientifically proven. ', and precisely because of the existence of this 'sense of violation', the positive significance of Gahres on the Three Views of Qiu is almost zero.

Fortunately, as long as you keep communicating with others or leave the [Bound of Innocence] and enter a state of study, the 'sense of disobedience' that has always tormented Gaheres will disappear temporarily, and it is precisely this phenomenon , making him always feel guilty about Wenqiu.

Based on this feeling of guilt, Gahres almost subconsciously protected Wenqiu in front of his mentor, who seemed to have a close relationship with the 'City Breaker', trying to make the latter believe that she was really just a human being. Just a girl who was harmed.

However, things went against expectations——

"Then it must be a hard journey for you."

Merlin glanced at Wenqiu and asked calmly: "After all, the reputation of the Necromancer is not very good in this world view, and a Necromancer who can have a profession like [Evil Plague Master] will probably have to work harder. ”

Gaheres: "...?!"

"No way!"

Wenqiu, on the other hand, shook his head vigorously, jumped out behind Gajeres and said very proudly: "Grandpa, look!"

"Um……"

The moment the girl switches her talent to [Innocent Heart], it is no longer possible to detect the 'dead energy' from the latter. Even if [Cane No. 1] is transformed into [Robotic Arm No. 1] and a portable local area comprehensive radar is used, Merlin, who couldn't detect any clues, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

Wenqiu immediately smiled sweetly: "Yes!"

Merlin nodded: "Yes."

Wenqiu continued to smile and said: "Awesome!"

Merlin continued to nod: "It's amazing."

Wenqiu proudly put her hands on her hips: "It doesn't matter if you praise me more!"

Merlin thought for a while and said seriously: "It's very impressive."

"cough!"

In the end, Arthur couldn't stand it anymore. After coughing, he hesitated and said to Merlin: "So..."

"You must have wanted to win over this talented girl before."

Merlin turned his head and glanced at Arthur, and asked casually: "After all, a powerful necromancer can exert a lot of energy at the level of war. In addition, this girl is still young. If she is very knowledgeable in the field of mysticism, Osiris’s careful teaching will probably allow her to reach a higher level and become Mo’s helper in a short time, right?”

Arthur, who had his thoughts revealed, nodded without hesitation: "That's right."

"Then give me some face."

Merlin glanced at Gaheres, who looked anxious, and waved his hand: "Let them go."

"good."

Although Merlin used a negotiating tone, Arthur still followed the latter's will without hesitation, then walked up to Gaheres and showed the latter a kind smile: "You can leave through the north gate. If possible, it might be better to stay away from the Griffin Dynasty in the past few months. If you want to find a place to play, I recommend the Adolf Free Territory in the west. From there, you can take the waterway to Palmyra Port. The scenery along the way should be beautiful. not bad."

Gahres nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."

"Well, but we've already been there for a walk."

But Wenqiu pouted and said angrily: "Wenqiu doesn't want to walk the same road again, I don't like it!"

"Then go to Griffin to sell airships. If you are coming from the west, you probably haven't been to the Silver Wings Alliance. Although the relationship between the Alliance and Griffin has been as stiff as ever in recent years, people-to-people exchanges are actually quite frequent. , not only are there many fun and delicious places, but you can also go directly to the Elf Forest from the east, which is very beautiful.”

Arthur smiled and talked eloquently: "Or hire a mercenary group from the Silver Wing Alliance to escort you north. After passing through the Borderlands, whether it is Red Cloud Terrace, Falls Territory, Georgia Territory or Gold The city is very suitable for people from other worlds to visit. Oh, by the way, the first outer mountain open to the public in Tianzhu Mountain is also good, and in that place, even the necromancer will not be ignored. "

Wenqiu's eyes lit up: "This is good! But brother Lei seems to have no money to hire a corps, and Wenqiu doesn't have any money either..."

"What a coincidence, I just have some extra change here."

Arthur casually thrust a Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce certificate containing 50,000 gold coins into Gaheres's hand, raised his eyebrows at the latter who was about to shirk, and said: "Just make friends. It's not peaceful here now. If we have a chance to meet again, let's have a good chat. Don't worry, I'll let Master Merlin convert the small money into a favor and give it back to me. If it all comes down to it, I still make the money."

Gahres turned to look at Merlin with some embarrassment: "Mentor..."

"Take it, this little money is nothing to him."

Merlin said lightly, and then after a brief silence, he turned and walked towards the way he came, without looking back, and said: "You should leave through the north gate and come with me."

"Good...good mentor!"

Gaheres immediately stood up straight with his head high and chest nervously, as if the person in front of him was not a highly respected academician instructor, but a wolf-like military training instructor.

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and then he stood on the small transportation tool he made at random, that is, the metal disc that could be suspended in mid-air and floated forward. The speed was not very fast, and even Wen Qiu could easily follow it. superior.

In this way, under the leadership of Merlin, Arthur, Gaheres and Wenqiu left the east gate and turned around to walk into the city. In the process, Arthur keenly realized that this was not a direct journey to Oak. It was the closest road to the north gate of Nicheng, but he didn't say anything. He just walked at the back with his usual expression, relaxed and leisurely.

After the four people walked a distance of about a few hundred meters, as they got closer to the central area, the surrounding environment gradually changed significantly. First, there were a large number of stumps that would definitely be harmoniously severed in the eyes of minors. arm, and then there were puddles of liquid mixed with human tissue, enough to remind people of a lot of unpleasant scenes. In addition, there was a gelatinous substance that was constantly squirming in the street, with some weird 'wrecks' floating in it, and finally... It was the countless corpses with hideous expressions that were artificially gathered in the central square of Orkney City, as well as a large number of deformed and twisted remains of humanoid monsters.

And when the four of them left the central area under the attention of a large number of Ebon Blade warriors, and arrived at the north gate of Orkney City, which was filled with 'powerful people', and after several warriors opened the door under Arthur's instruction, Merlin finally Turning around, he asked Gahres: "What do you think?"

"ah?"

Gahres, who was nervous all the way, shivered, and then asked tentatively: "Everyone is... quite serious?"

"Um……"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, then looked at Qiu and asked, "What about you, child, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, that plate of yours looks so fun! Can you let Wenqiu play with it? Wenqiu promises not to break it!"

"good."

"Wow, thank you grandpa!"

"Ho Lei... no, Gaheres."

"Teacher, please tell me."

"...Do you want to choose to stay?"
