Polar Night Player

Chapter 38: Lighthouse·Donglinglan·Quest Start

After finishing the equipment, Li Xiangbian and the maid returned to the black carriage. After a bumpy ride, they came to a remote town.

The town still retains the town style of a hundred years ago, with few roaring steam installations and no steam turbines that provide powerful driving force.

The only thing that can be remembered is the tall lighthouse at the entrance of the town. The interior below is full of giant black gears that are rusty to the point that they can hardly move. Li Xiang can clearly see the difficult trajectory of the gears inside.

The faint light was shining, and the top should have been a cluster of fire that never extinguished, but at this moment it was almost annihilated in the storm.

Storm clouds are overwhelming, and the storm is coming.

A few ball-shaped lightning flashed across the sky, and occasionally a few floating boats could be seen gliding past in heavy rain, concealed in the black fog surrounding the huge tower connecting the sky and the earth.

The lighthouse is a very special building in Asia. Even if it has been eliminated by the times, such ancient buildings can still be seen everywhere. Because of its legendary color, all forces are uniformly prohibited from demolishing any lighthouse remaining in Asia. building.

Three hundred years ago, the Goddess of Calamity System came. The first players resisted the Calamity with flesh and blood, and the lighthouses erected one after another were used as warnings for the invasion of Calamity, and also used to guide the return of these dead souls. hometown.

It is precisely because these pioneers used their bodies to block the advancement of the disaster with fearlessness and fearlessness, that is why the Great Wall of the Disaster and the current prosperous Seven Continents were built.

Li Xiang watched the lighthouse, feeling a little bit, those rusty gears and brown stains on it gave him an unspeakable sense of heaviness, a feeling that can only be formed with countless lives.

Small town, cafe.

Li wanted to take the note given to him by the maid, and look for the three of Dong Linglan's family according to their seats. They should be waiting for themselves here, and once the two parties meet, it means that the mission is officially opened.

And he only had three days to send them to the steam station in Hangzhou.

The interior of this cafe also reveals a nostalgic atmosphere. The mahogany tables and chairs are arranged neatly against the large transparent glass window wall, and the girl in the retro-style maid costume is lazily taking a mop.

There were not many customers in the cafe, and the eye-catching family of three could be seen at a glance, but to be on the safe side, he checked the location provided by the note.

"Table 12." Li Xiang put away the note and walked toward that table. A big man with a slicked arm walked toward him. He deliberately rushed a few steps quickly and bumped Li Xiang's shoulder.

Li wanted to frown, ignored him, and was about to move on, but he grabbed his shoulders.

"Boy, you hit someone..." The big man with arms wanted to make trouble or something. When he saw the Type III mobile device in Li Xiang's trench coat, he shut up and ran away.

Li Xiang ignored him and waved to the maid: "A cup of black coffee. Table 12."

"Okay." The maid nodded, put down the mop and trot to the bar.

Li Xiang hurried to the 12th table. Lu Hai was a tall and thin man with an ordinary appearance. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, curled up, and his hair was a little messy. He looked very nervous and found that Li wanted to come. I have to get up subconsciously.

The woman sitting across from him was dressed very delicately, with light makeup on her face, long golden hair and shawls. The Asian-European face was very eye-catching. The little girl in her arms was wearing a pink dress and inherited her father’s hair color and mother’s. Appearance, sucking the coffee in the coffee cup.

Dong Linglan was obviously more calm, she stretched out her hand to hold her husband's arm, and then smiled lightly at Li Xiang.

"Family glory is above everything." Li Xiang's super memory quickly came into play. He said that his name and the other party's name were inappropriate. As soon as he blurted out this family language, Dong Linglan immediately changed his face.

With her eyes wide open, she was dubious. She did send out a call for help, but the teenager, or the older boy, was too young to feel like a college student.

"It's not safe here, let's change the place." Li Xiang didn't hesitate, and after speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the cafe door. Dong Linglan didn't hesitate anymore, picked up her daughter, dragged her husband and followed him out.

The four of them left the cafe and came to table 12 with black coffee, only to see the maid with a pile of blue star coins messing in the wind.

It was raining heavily outside, and Li wanted to protect them along the street. The population of this small town was small. Now the heavy rain is pouring and the street shops are basically closed.

"Where is this place? How far is it from Hangzhou, and what other towns are nearby? Do the people who chase you know who it is?" Li Xiang asked in a low voice as he walked quickly.

"This, this town has no name, Hangzhou..." Lu Hai shuddered. The other party might be a magic apprentice so young. For this kind of reserve player, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

"An unnamed town, we have to walk at least half a month away from Hangzhou. Only Heicheng, Shadow City and Tianshui City are nearby. The first two places are mixed areas. The people who chase us are from the'Black Hawk'. An ordinary assassin group, most of the members are retired army soldiers and underground assassins."

Dong Linglan was much calmer than her husband, with clear thoughts, and answered Li Xiang's questions one by one.

"Excuse me, why are we in a hurry to leave now? We confirm that we have not been followed when we came to the unknown town..." She held her daughter, walking a little hard, and tried to prevent rain from getting on her.

Li Xiang suddenly stopped, with no expression on his face: "The man hit me just now. It is impossible for a thorn like this to have been wandering for a long time before looking for me as a target. Remember, there is no absoluteness in everything. It is better to be careful than lifeless, no matter what you believe. Don't believe me, now only if you listen to my arrangements can you have a chance to live."

"Good." Dong Linglan readily agreed.

He stopped, the man Lu Hai was a little weak, and he couldn't rely on him. Dong Linglan might not have much combat power, and now she still carries a little loli, which is similar to what she expected, and the difficulty of the task is not low.

As for the Black Hawk Killer Group, he also had to find time to understand.

"Come on, brother hug you." Li Xiang tried his best to smile, and reached out to hug Lu Yu in Dong Linglan's arms. Fortunately, he took care of his sister since he was a child, and he still has a hand in such a little Lolita.

When facing Lu Yu, his alertness and killing intent disappeared without a trace. Lu Yu was also very clever, knowing that this was someone who helped his parents, so he stretched out his little arm and plunged into Li Xiang’s arms. .

Without a daughter, Dong Linglan was finally able to barely keep up with Li Xiang's pace, but Lu Hai, who looked thin, was walking fast, and it seemed that his physical fitness was not bad.

"Thank you, brother, how do you call it?" Lu Hai summoned up the courage to speak, but hit a wall.

Li thinks that he doesn't really want to communicate too much with their husband and wife. He presupposes that there will be dangers in the next three days. If such an unfamiliar couple trust themselves unconditionally, it is best to adopt a professional and cold attitude.

"Is there a magic apprentice in the Black Hawk?" This is what Li Xiang is most worried about. The opponents are only retired soldiers and underground killers, so the threat is not big, and the magic apprentice is another level of opponent, and all plans will change.

Dong Linglan shook his head, and then added: "The Black Hawk is just an ordinary assassin group, and there is no magic apprentice, but their commander, Black Hawk himself seems to be a very strong mercenary. Unless they hire magic apprentices. , Otherwise it should be impossible to touch."

Can magic apprentices be hired? Li Xiang was abruptly held back when he was about to blurt it out. It's better to ask less about this kind of layman's words. If you are not a player, you should have all kinds of needs.

They continued to walk through the streets. Li Xiang was completely unfamiliar with the unnamed town. He took them to and fro in various ways, and then repeatedly confirmed whether there was a possibility of being tracked or monitored.

As long as he is not an unpredictable magic apprentice, then he has a way to get rid of the person who is following him. In the polar night, concealment and anti-tracking are one of the important daily trainings.

After taking them patiently for nearly three hours, Li Xiangcai led Dong Linglan and Lu Hai, who were a little dizzy, to a small hotel.

Lu Yu had fallen asleep sweetly in his arms long ago, and Dong Linglan was surprised to find that Li Xiang had touched the town during his wandering after entering the small hotel, and also remembered all the routes.

Diagonally across from the small hotel he was looking for was the cafe they met before. The street was outside the window of the room, and it was also close to the small town lighthouse, which was a good place for escape and surveillance.

"Two rooms." Li wanted to pay the deposit, took the keys and went to the second floor with them, but when he got outside the door, he let the couple enter the same room as himself.

The room in the small hotel is relatively poor. The four people are actually quite crowded. Li Xiang carefully put Lu Yu on the bed, and after covering the quilt, he drew the curtains, revealing only a gap.

Under the dim light, the three were relatively speechless.

"I live with you and will leave tomorrow morning. I will go out and come back in five to ten minutes. I will call my name in any case, Li thinks." Li Xiang hesitated and gave Dong Linglan his fangs. Seeing the dagger made by his family, Dong Linglan's expression changed, and the look in Li Xiang's eyes was different.

"Good." She nodded and watched Li Xiang leave.

As soon as Li Xiang left the room, he quickly checked the lower hallway to see if there were any other passages to the second floor. Then he quickly entered the next room and rushed down the second floor after processing.

Ten minutes later, Li Xiang knocked on the door, and Dong Linglan, who hadn't been dry, walked out holding his fangs, and sighed after seeing him.

It seems that he has not let his guard down.

He carried a few dinners in his hand and put them on the small table casually, holding a paper tube in his left hand.

Lu Yu rubbed his eyes, and Lu Hai just came out of the steaming bathroom. Dong Linglan would rather get wet than rush to wash it. This made Li Xiang very satisfied. If the employer is a fool, the task difficulty will increase sharply.

He signaled that it was all right, and Dong Linglan held Lu Yu to the bathroom.

It was embarrassing for a room of four people. The partition window of the bathroom was almost transparent. Li wanted to beckon to Lu Hai, pulling his back to the bathroom, and leaning against the window sill to talk.

He spread out the paper tube in his hand. It was a map that he bought from downstairs by the way. He had a preliminary plan and planned to communicate with Lu Hai first. He didn’t expect that although this man seemed to be weak in combat power, he was very good at it. They are quite insightful.

It turns out that Lu Hai’s real major is the transportation major under the steam technology. He is very familiar with urban traffic. When it comes to things he is familiar with, he is shy and looks a little bit.

They talked for a while and confirmed the general route. If you want to go to Hangzhou, you must first take an intercity train. The more formal one is Tianshui City, but the enemy will be ambush 100% there.

On the other hand, both Heicheng and Shadow City have non-formal intercity trains, which are mixed, but Black Hawk has limited manpower. Li Xiang thinks that they will not have too many manpower in these two places.

We can only do a good job planning temporarily, and Li Xiang has to consider the specific situation again. After the discussion, he sat down against the wall and closed his eyes to rest his mind. This was the first task. Thinking back to the words of Teacher Roca, he always felt that the task was not simple.
