“Who?” He was startled and opened his eyes, “You, who are you? Oh, are you a royal lackey of Ba Huang City? Damn! I will never use my skills in forging for that old dog Lou Lei again. I’ll never let him use my work to massacre civilians. Let him dream on!”
I moved closer, got down on one knee and pleaded, “Old man, I am not anyone’s lackey, but I do have a request. Please, you must promise me!”
“Oh, what request?” Feng Ye’s anger somewhat dissipated.
I took the quest map from my inventory and said, “This is a quest map. I would like you to forge me a giant key so that I can use it to finish my quest. ”
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared in Feng Ye’s face, “This map? Child, tell me the truth. What do you plan to use the key for?”
I answered honestly, “Emperor Ran Min’s soul is trapped at the Five Barbarian Barren Hills as the Five Barbarian’s evil spirits still persist. I want to free Emperor Ran Min’s soul, but I need a key that can open the entrance to his tomb.”
“Emperor Ran Min’s soul.” Feng Ye tightened his fist, “Then, young man, if you can take me away from this cell, I’ll forge this key for you!”
“Okay!”
I bent down and saddled him across my back as he held tightly onto my armor. Meanwhile, my Cloak of Ice and Fire wrapped around him as I quickly rushed outside, the Frost Rain Sword at the ready.
……
“Hey!”
A guard roared as I swept out of the prison, “Everyone! Someone broke into the jail and rescued old man Feng Ye! Hunt him down, now!”
I started sprinting as hard as I could, regardless of what was happening around me. Within the palace of Ba Huang City, a group of high level NPCs were chasing me; at least a hundred people!
“S**t!”
I almost panicked as I looked back and dashed even faster while sheltering Feng Ye from attacks.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.” Spears wildly flew. Fortunately, I was fast enough, or else I would have already been impaled!
“Swoooooosh!”
With a “bang” sound, a cone shaped piece of metal fell from the sky and caused 1700+ damage to me. I was jarred and instantly looked upwards. I discovered that it was a huge arrow from a Ballista on the wall. Damn! They’re using heavy weapons? Was Feng Ye that important?!
I was able to reach the North Gate Plaza with the help of my Lv 6 [Heal]. Behind me were a bunch of red-named NPCs which caused the players and stalls in North Gate Plaza to be scared silly——
“Isn’t he Xiao Yao Zi Zai?”
“That guy’s really crazy.”
……
At the city gate, 8 guards quickly drew their swords and yelled, “Intercept that rebellious fellow who is carrying Feng Ye. For the Empire! ”
My heart immediately sank. How could I pass through these 8 Lv 64 Elite NPC Swordsmen? Each of their Lv 7 [Combo] was enough to kill me!
Just then, two beautiful figures suddenly walked slowly from the outside. Those alluring figures were wearing the leather armor of Assassins. They were the twin assassins Yue Wei Liang and Yue Qing Qian!
“Isn’t that Xiao Yao Zi Zai? Why are there so many NPCs after him?” Yue Wei Liang said, surprised.
Yue Qing Qian drew out a dagger from her waist. Her eyes were full of unwavering determination, “Let’s strike the NPCs and open a path for Brother Xiao Yao. Come on! ”
