Chapter 67: Killing him was a piece of cake
"etc!"
In the darkness, Lu Tie vaguely saw some light and, realizing he was getting too close, immediately waved to stop Crescent Moon from rushing in behind him.
The two men, dressed in black, were hidden in the darkness. If they didn't open their mouths, even a three-eyed raven flying by wouldn't be able to spot them.
The two squatted down confidently and looked ahead. The person was of medium height, and his figure was hidden under his robe, but it was still possible to vaguely tell that he was rather fat.
"Keep up with him!"
As the light gradually dimmed, the weightlifter waved, and the two followed again.
They followed each other for an unknown amount of time. Just when many viewers in Crescent Moon's live stream were getting bored, a blinding light shone down from above.
The two weightlifters who had been following the mysterious man were caught off guard and their eyes welled up with tears.
They covered their eyes and it took them a while to recover, but by then the blinding light had disappeared, and the two knew that the other had closed the exit.
The mysterious man had already gone up, so the two of them no longer needed to worry and quickly stepped forward to the ladder connecting to the top.
Crescent Moon was eager to create some new storylines for his "family members," so he impatiently climbed up the ladder to the top. Soon he came across a stone slab, and he reached out to push it tentatively. Finding that it wouldn't budge, he put in a little more force.
But the stone slab remained unmoved. Crescent Moon pushed with all its might for a while, but still failed.
Seeing this, the weightlifter below realized the problem and began searching for a mechanism below.
"Damn, there's definitely a secret hidden up here, either a vault or the Queen's boudoir!"
Panting heavily, Crescent Moon gave up pushing the stone slab, gripping the ladder with one hand and slamming the other against the stone wall in a fit of rage.
Click.
Unexpectedly, Crescent Moon's unintentional smash triggered the mechanism, and the stone slab made a slight cracking sound, revealing a gap.
"Damn, this is awesome! Is this still the medieval world I know?" Crescent Moon swallowed hard and muttered as she gently pulled on the stone slab.
He hadn't forgotten that just recently someone had gone up there, and it was still unclear whether the person had left or if the space above was concealed. It was a minor matter if the other party was lying in ambush, but if it ruined their brothers' grand plan, they would be completely finished.
Crescent Moon carefully widened the gap between the stone slabs, peering through it for a long time before finally realizing it was a staircase.
Boom~
The crescent moon pushed aside the stone slab, and the two went up the stairs to the end, where they could see a lever, which was probably the control switch.
Crescent Moon glanced back at Lu Tie, who was gripping his short sword and nodding at him.
Upon seeing this, Crescent Moon immediately pulled down the lever, opening the mechanism in front of her and revealing the outside space.
"It's a room, but nobody's there!"
Crescent Moon, who was the first to walk out, looked around, then turned back and called to Lu Tie to come out as well.
"Looks like we've made it in!"
Standing in front of the wide-open window, lifting weights and looking down at this stinking city, I felt as if I had just survived eighty-one tribulations.
"We don't know when that guy will come back. Let's get out of here quickly, kill the king as soon as possible, and get this over with!"
Lu Tie turned around and called out to Yueya, then went to the door, opened it a crack and looked out. Seeing that no one was in the corridor, he immediately opened the door and took Yueya out.
Around the corner, two armored soldiers clad in red robes were talking slowly:
"To be honest, I really envy Lord Lancel. Look at him, standing next to the King every day, so close."
"Come on, I heard that when the king gets angry, he'll shove Lancel's head down and make him play the flute~"
"Are you crazy?!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Everyone in the palace wears red robes, so who would tell His Majesty the King what I said?"
"Really... Ugh!"
Just as the armored soldier was about to advise his audacious companion to tone it down, a pair of large hands suddenly covered his mouth and nose, silencing the words he was about to utter.
"who...."
Almost simultaneously, before his companion could utter a single word, his mouth and nose were also covered by a pair of large hands.
puff!puff!
With their faces covered in blood, Crescent Moon and her companion dragged the two corpses back into the room.
In the live stream, watching the two players' skillful maneuvers, netizens jokingly commented:
Langlang Mountain King: 666, classic kill everyone, even if the stealth is successful, you're a veteran assassin, right?
Kangdi (the ultimate invincible version): Judging from your techniques, you two don't seem like beginners. Is your profession in real life a bit shady?
Even as he was removing the armor from the corpse, Crescent Moon didn't forget to reply to his "family."
"Brothers, don't get me wrong, the streamer is honest and upright in real life, and this is the first time he's ever slit someone's throat in a game! Send some gifts, and later my brother and I will show you how to bomb the King, leaving him covered in bruises!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get off the armor!" the sweating weightlifter urged from the side.
After the old farmer had finished milking a bucket of milk, two Lannister redcoats came out of the room.
"Where to?" Crescent Moon asked.
"I don't know, let's look around first, anyway, we're covered in dog skins," Lu Tie replied.
"Sigh, I quite like the look of this armor. It's a pity I can't take it back." Crescent Moon suddenly touched the armor on her body with a little bit of disinterest, and even deliberately drew a section of the long sword from her waist.
"Alright, this should be done. I can't say we can have everything you want, but I think we can get a decent set of armor." He replied as he walked.
"Hey, guards over there, can you help me?"
A voice so aged it seemed as if the person was about to breathe their last made Crescent Moon and her companion stop in their tracks.
The two turned around and saw a hunched old man and a servant with bottles, jars and books all over their bodies and at their feet.
"What are you standing there for? Grand Scholar Paisell needs your help!" The attendant shouted in dissatisfaction when he saw the red-robed man standing there dumbfounded.
"What is he?" Crescent Moon asked, pushing up the heavy helmet on her head.
"He looks like a college student. What kind of official is he?" the weightlifter muttered.
"To kill or not to kill?"
"Why not kill him? It's just an easy task!"
The two walked over.
"Alas, look at all these things..." Grand Scholar Paisell said gently to the two men in red robes.
Sudden.
A short sword pierced his neck without warning.
puff!
Paisell felt warm blood gushing uncontrollably from his neck.
"group...."
The servant's eyes widened, and he had just opened his mouth wide when the short sword in Crescent Moon's hand plunged in.
"Ha!"
Blood splattered all over Crescent Moon's face.
At that moment, the viewers in his live stream were vomiting, and the chat was flooded with comments. Thank goodness, they had never seen such a bloody and disgusting scene before.
As for why the two weightlifters remained unfazed, it certainly wasn't because they had a self-righteous feeling that they were highly adaptable.
Instead, when Viserys summons players, in addition to reducing their pain, he also subtly increases their ability to adapt to it.
