BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 050
Chapter 50. You\'re the Main Character, Aren\'t You?
[Thank you for saving me. May I know your name?]
A strange private message was sent over.
Char was stunned for a few seconds.
He was sure that he was playing "Fantasy World" and not "Hero World."
"My name is in your friend list. Do you want to change your question?"
[Please forgive me for my rudeness, Brother Char.]
"Can you speak human language? It\'s just a common phrase of the new era\'s idiotic netizens."
[But this is a written communication. My father has spoken first, and we can\'t be unrestrained outside.]
"Fine, I\'m leaving."
[Don\'t, Big Brother!]
"Now we\'re talking"
Ninja Blade smiled awkwardly. His skin was fair, and he looked very shy.
[I\'m sorry, but I still want to thank you. Otherwise, I might have hung up.]
"How did you get down here?"
Char could not help but glance behind him.
The underground passages were complicated, and they were randomly generated every time. He had walked through them too many times before he could vaguely know them. He could roughly determine his location from the speed of the wind and water.
The path that Ninja Blade came from was the one with the most turbulent undercurrent. The river glowed with specks of phosphorescence, and it was the respawning place of the legendary koi fish, the level 25 Sea Monster, Fluorescent Giant-mouthed Fish.
This thing\'s refresh rate was too random, and while the rewards were high, Char did not consider it as part of his objective for coming here. Did he really come in without knowing anything? He even bumped into a monster.
This time, Ninja Blade stopped for a long time, as if she had typed a long sentence.
[I was doing a patrol mission when two civilians ran over and said that someone had fallen into the well and wanted to be quickly fished out. My father always taught me to be kind and charitable, so I quickly followed them here. Who knew that those two were actually evil people. They hit me with a brick from the corner and knocked me out. Then, they threw me into the well. What\'s more infuriating is that the well was sealed. I was lucky to find a secret passage in the wall of the well, but I fell down again as I walked.]
How could the word \'good\' be used to describe his luck?
Encountering danger, secret passage, and treasure land, this was the treatment of a main character! If he considered himself as a hermit expert, the template of the story would be complete. Char could not help but be speechless.
He also knew about the well that Ninja Blade mentioned. It was near 17th dark alley in the shantytown.
The thugs there loved to pretend to be civilians to deceive the guards of Astan City. Char had suffered a loss in the first round, and it was a veteran who taught him how to distinguish between thugs and civilians.
It was simple. Just by looking at their eyes.
In the shantytown, anyone who dared to look at the guards for more than three seconds was a gang member. The average residents of the shantytown did not even have the courage to look directly at the management. Most of them were anxious and avoided eye contact, not to mention the guards with swords.
However, if Char remembered correctly, that secret passage led directly to somewhere else, so how did he get here?
Moreover, his body was dry!
"I know that secret passage. Shouldn\'t you have fallen into the water?"
[Ah, it\'s like this. You might not believe it if I tell you. I saw a Sea Monster!]
Oh, Mayenne...
"Continue."
"Aren\'t you surprised?"
For a moment, Ninja Blade was so shocked that he forgot to type.
"No... And then?"
[It was using its tentacles, so I stepped on it and jumped to the dry spot, and I ran away.]
It was not long after Simon and the others fell down.
"Do you want to go out?" Char asked.
"I want to!"
The answer was quite straightforward.
Char pointed the passage behind him. "Go there and turn left at the first three intersections. Then, take the fourth passage on the right and keep going straight. You will be able to turn out of the sewer.
After a pause, Char taught him the thug identification technique that he had learned from the veteran.
"The people who attacked you were most likely from the Blood-hand Gang. Their average level is 10, so they\'re not a big deal. Captain Finn of the second squad of the fourth squadron has an old grudge with the gang. Treat him to a glass of wine after the change of shift tonight and tell him about your encounter. Then, you can start the [Exterminate the Blood-hand Gang] quest line and be rewarded with a good sword, leather armor, and some military achievements."
Ninja Blade was stunned at first, then he opened his notebook and started jotting down the content.
[Thank you! Thank you, big brother! You\'re simply my benefactor! A drop of kindness shall be repaid with a fountain!]
"No, I\'m not your benefactor. You can help me when you\'re rich in the future." Char smiled.
"Thank you!"
"You\'re welcome!" Ninja Blade was so excited that he blurted out a few words. He then traded him 3 silver coins,15 bronze coins, an Animal Skin Bracer, and a Key.
"Eh? What is this?" Char asked.
[Wait a moment. I can\'t type fast.]
Char was bored to death, and his eyelids twitched when he glanced at the black key.
Eh? Key?
It did not look like an ordinary key.
He read it carefully again.
It was...
Was he the male lead of this game? What kind of f*cking luck was this? He was able to encounter a secret treasure in a desperate situation, and he was able to get the key to Siege City?
At this moment, Ninja Blade had finished typing.
[My father taught me to be grateful. It\'s useless to just say thank you. I hope these things can help you. I picked up the key on the way, but I don\'t know what it\'s used for.]
Did he really just pick it up like this?
Char thought for a moment and returned the other items.
"Your Swordsmanship has passed level 4, right?
"Level 5!"
"Then don\'t do the quest I mentioned before."
"Ah?"
"Don\'t be a Militia in Astan City, there\'s no future for you."
Char gave him two gold.
"Go to Makus City and take the teleportation circle of the Mage Tower, the tallest thing on the Golden Avenue. There\'s a three-meter-tall arcane puppet at the entrance. It\'ll stop you. Just put one gold in its mouth, and you\'ll be able to get through. Another gold coin is for the teleportation fee.
"I..."
"Don\'t interrupt. Listen carefully. You have the foundation of swordsmanship. Go to the Swordsman Association in Makus City and find Hilbert Pine. He\'s a man who\'s prettier than a woman. Don\'t say anything, just find him and spar with him. No matter if you win or lose, he\'ll take you to see his master. Then, you just have to do whatever they want you to do. Even though it\'s a little difficult, it won\'t kill you. It\'s more than enough for you."
Ninja Blade was dumbfounded when he heard that.
After a while, he said, "What?"
"Don\'t worry about why, just do as I say. Hilbert Pine\'s master is a level 60 Elementalist and level 75 Swordsman. He can give you 12% experience and skill proficiency buffs. You can also trigger the trial line [Solon Ruins] in the future. You even have your equipment. Isn\'t it ten thousand times better than being a militia in Astan City? I won\'t lie to you. Of course, young people need to understand the principle of making a fortune quietly. Don\'t show off your little things everywhere, do you understand?"
Ninja Blade finally reacted and realized that he had met a real boss.
Not to mention whether his words were true or false, He just gave him two gold coins!
Only a real boss could give someone two gold coins so casually!
"Alright!"
He nodded heavily.
[Although I don\'t really know you. I\'ll definitely listen to you! I will definitely follow your teachings!]
"Go. Let\'s contact each other if we have the chance in the future."
Char watched as Ninja Blade left, then took out the key and looked at it for a while.
[Pitch-black Key]
There was no explanation. It was four centimeters long, and its surface still had the shape of gears biting, symbolizing the mysterious rules of mechanical operation. A layer of dark keratin covered it, which was the lifeless object of divine power oblivion.
The key to the Siege City, which could be used after it had been purified.
"I\'m really lucky." Char pouted.
