Aaron tried to say calmly and quickly, "I didn't kill him, instead I'm looking for the killer. I guess that the killer is heading towards the mayor's residence, so please don't confront me."
Alice was still staring at him in disbelief. "How do you know about that?"
"It's a long explanation, I won't have time!" Aaron tried to take a step back and go run, but she grew bolder with her sword, leaving him stunned again.
"I'll go to the mayor's residence, while I'll tie you up in this place, there's no need to go anywhere." Alice began to take a chain from her spatial bag, which Aaron knew to be a spirit tool. It wouldn't be easy to destroy it!
"No way!" Aaron pulled out his sword, and with a swift movement parried Alice's sword at her neck.
Being parried with such a move, Alice couldn't believe it at all. Aaron's speed was simply beyond reason, it was impossible for a player who was still at level 1.
Aaron jumped back to keep his distance. He hel
Aaron was still waiting when someone suddenly drifted down from the sky and landed before him. Aaron couldn't help but be amazed. The person's movements were perfect, even for an intermediate level. The person had it back on Aaron. Its hair was long, fluttering in the wind. From the curves of her body, she looked like a woman. "Get out here." The woman's soft voice. Aaron did not move from his place. He didn't know the woman at all, so how could he trust her so easily? In a precarious situation like this, almost no one can be trusted but oneself. "Who are you?" Aaron asked, keeping his sword ready. "You don't need to know," replied the woman as she slowly took out a cloud-white sword from her waist. "Don't ask for more questions, run quickly right now!" Of course, Aaron was eager to ask other questions until he got enough clarity, but he realized there was not much opportunity and time. If he didn't leave right now, it was very likely
Aaron punched the fork out of the mayor's hand, instantly sending it flying free along with the piece of grilled meat. Smiling with relief, Aaron landed on the floor uneventfully. Slipping and falling. He did it like a goalkeeper deflecting a ball!When he wanted to get up, he pointed several swords at his neck. Aaron raised both hands while standing up slowly."That food was poisonous," Aaron said quickly.The mayor was still sitting calmly when he asked, "How did you know?"Everyone in the dining room looked at him in confusion, including Alice, who had just arrived after desperately trying to catch up with Aaron.Under all those intimidating stares, Aaron still had to be thankful that the mayor's family hadn't eaten yet. Tradition made them swear not to touch the food before the head of the family shoved the food into his mouth. In some circumstances, that tradition could be their salvation."I hunted the poison for this meal." Aaron chos
After parting ways with Alice, Aaron rented a room at a low-class inn in the western section of Gray Stone City.There, he could even get two nights for one silver piece.However, no need to ask about the quality.It was so bad!Not only were cockroaches and rats roaming everywhere, but Aaron also heard sighing noises from the amorous lovers in the next room.It was very disturbing to his mind to sleep peacefully.While staring at the ceiling, he thought about his fate. He was 27 years old but had never experienced that.Even just to have a girlfriend, he had never.Was that normal?His peers might have children soon. If they met Aaron, who still had this pathetic bachelor look, they would make fun of him."Should I find a lover?"In the end, Aaron managed to sleep, despite having to familiarize his ears with all those sighing sounds.To himself, Aaron promised never to rent a room at a cheap inn aga
"Alright, let's go!" SnowWolf exclaimed excitedly after he made sure all the guild members were ready. He strapped his sword to his waist and walked in the front row. The rest of the guild members followed him while chatting cheerfully, as if they were about to enter a playground. Meanwhile, Aaron took his distance and walked to the back of the line. Rather than chatting, he chose to pay attention to his surroundings. During his time playing 'Martial Earth Online', Aaron visited the Vast Gray Stone Field several times. Even so, he had never explored the deepest part. Even for experts, it was too dangerous. Like many other players, Aaron was curious. There wasn't much information about the deepest part. Experts who managed to explore it could be counted on the fingers of one hand, but they don't want to tell much. It was so mysterious that not a few players conspired about the Vast Gray Stone Field. They said that it was the headquarter
The ground beneath SnowWolf's feet suddenly shook violently!Realizing that he was under threat, the man prepared to jump as high as he could. But he was pulled into the ground before he could do it."Brother Snow!""Hold on!" Aaron exclaimed as a guild member ran from his hiding place.But since that person didn't stop running, Aaron immediately chased after him. He ran and jumped up and down the extremely steep slope. Utilizing the potential energy of gravity!Just before touching the valley floor, Aaron managed to catch the swordsman. They rolled on the ground for several dozen meters before coming to a complete stop. And just before the orc army came charging in and realized their existence, Aaron had already brought the young man to the back side of a boulder to hide."You can't be stupid!" Aaron whispered with high emphasis. "If SnowWolf has to die in this game, that doesn't mean he'll die in the real world too!""Shit! Why only
Being trusted by Hans more than his guild members, Aaron could hardly believe what he was hearing. However, he could still understand it as fairness in the guild.Every player must have a special intention when they join a guild. Most of them wanted to collect as much treasure as possible. Thus, almost no members truly had pure and sincere intentions in the guild.Meanwhile, you did not need any special intentions when you decided to have a best friend. Since you weren't interested in your best friend, the friendship became very pure. Hans might have thought that when he heard that SnowWolf had been friends with Aaron."SnowWolf rarely said anything like that before," Hans continued as he run along on the cave ground. "Other than to you, he's only ever said the same thing for me."Aaron nodded his head slowly. He knew SwordWolf-who now had the name SnowWolf-as someone who did not easily pass judgment on others. But if he had issued a judgment, it was alwa
As the night air at the hill rose colder, the flames grew crazier and crazier, making a scene like a huge lighthouse torch.That flame not only kept Aaron’s body warm, but also roasted him. It blistered his skin all over. Just like thousands of bees stinging him at the same time. Even his HP was gradually decreasing!“It’s great for increasing physical endurance, but it feels really brutal.” Aaron smiled, both happily and wryly.While still playing Martial Earth Online, Aaron discovered a secret that the large flames could increase the Physical Endurance of players. There’s not many players knew it and Aaron wants to keep the secret to himself.Aaron didn’t need to worry about his HP decreasing little by little due to the heat. The healing potion given by Sir Janson still had quite a lot left, and the Destroyer Beast’s meat would make up for the shortage.Aaron took out a pot and put in a few scoops of snow. After heating it until melted, he put a few pieces of Destroyer Beast meat in
Aaron passed the night quite well. With the large flames, his body did not get any shiver from the cold. Several low-level beasts attacked him throughout the night, but none of them were able to get the young man in trouble.When the morning almost came, SnowWolf and all men of his guild re-entered the game. Their eyes almost closed. Clearly lacking rest.“Time in this game goes faster than in the real world,” SnowWolf said. “We only slept for two hours.”SnowWolf then explained that the orcs became weak when the sun was shining, so they must not waste time and continue hunting.They also divided up the tasks. SnowWolf, Hans, and Aaron were tasked with hunting the orcs, while the rest hunted the Destroyer Beast.“The price of Destroyer Beast meat is on the rise as an NFT item in the marketplace. I decided to slightly change the quest of this expedition. But don’t worry, Hans and I will still be with you to hunt down the orcs.”Aaron countered by saying there was no need for them both
