Chapter 1430 The Cost of Crime


    ??The castle is located in the deepest part of Gem City, and is considered to be on the edge of the entire city. However, because the castle is so tall, it itself has become part of the city wall surrounding Gem City.


    ?The King''s Castle, which is made entirely of gems, is the only building in the city that is fully lit at night, so you can see the broken light reflected from the castle and the wall that divides the light and shadow from a distance.


    The wall is not very high, but behind the wall is an isolation belt formed by lush woods, less than twenty meters wide. After passing through, there are several artificial lakes, crisscrossed by roads, and there are no obstructions around. There are patrolling guards and guards standing guard. The sentry is clearly visible.


    ?It is not difficult to cross the artificial lake quietly, not to mention that this artificial lake is not big at all, but so far, no one has entered.


    “There are quite a few people on the fence.” Yan Jiayu whispered: “No one dares to go in?”


    “The cost of crime has not yet been determined, and no one wants to be the export bird.” Li Kun said from the side: “Everyone is waiting.”


    Let’s see who can’t calm down first.


    “I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait like this.” Yan Jiayu thought for a while, then quietly got off the wall, raised his fingers to signal Xu Huo and the others to be silent, and then sneaked away far away.


    ??The wall is arc-shaped and does not hinder their sight, so the three of them watched her pretend to pass by, and then kicked a player squatting on the wall with a carbine at lightning speed!


    It happened so suddenly that both partners were surprised, but the one who was kicked down was a C-level player after all. Even though Yan Jiayu''s kick was surprisingly powerful, the player still fell to the ground silently, but It fell within the confines of the castle.


    The air was quiet, and the player stood still. However, a few seconds later, the patrolling guard discovered his presence dozens of meters away and separated by dense woods, and shouted a warning: "There are thieves!"


    Now that he was discovered, the player did not hesitate to go to the castle. He did not intend to avoid the guards, but planned to use the player''s advantage to attack. However, what he did not expect was that the player who was the fastest to pounce on him The guard in front of him actually pushed him to the ground - his props had failed.


    ?There was a flash of surprise on the player''s face, and then he used his strength to force open the people who rushed to suppress him one after another, and accelerated into the castle.


    Fortunately, although the guards were as strong as cattle, their speed was about the same as that of ordinary people. By the time they hurried in, the player had already disappeared.


    ??The alarm bell rang in the castle. While the guards were searching floor by floor, the residents outside the city also woke up. More and more people gathered outside the castle, speculating about what happened inside the castle.


    During this period, Xu Huo and the others also came down from the wall and stood in an inconspicuous place to continue to pay attention to the situation of the castle.


    From their current position, Xu Huo could see part of the castle, so the player who entered could see some of the situation while struggling with the guards while rummaging through the boxes.


    The first is the invalid props. Generally, props that can directly attack can still take effect. Those props that need to be activated remotely through passwords or that need to be acted upon to receive signals cannot take effect. From this point of view, props that specifically act on "human beings" "The props on his body have no effect on the residents of Gem City. The same should be true for features.


    However, space defense props will be effective.????The second one is the invisibility props. It’s not unusual for a capable player to equip one or two items that can hide his body, but what’s strange is that the player tried to use the invisibility item twice to avoid the guards’ search, but he was still discovered at a glance, as if he didn’t use the item at all. , including hiding in some inconspicuous corners.


    More and more guards appear - no one knows where these guards were before, but as time goes by, they keep coming out like ants, especially after the player kills several guards, others The angry guards threw their weapons one after another. These cold weapons looked ordinary, but they had extraordinary destructive power. It was unclear whether these weapons were special props or the additional power brought by gems.


    ?But no matter what, after walking around the castle without even touching the shadow of the king, the player withdrew from the castle and ran all the way out of the wall.


    城堡外到处都是人，对方本来打算混入人群的，但没想到人才出来，便有居民指着他的位置高声喊：“盗贼！杀人犯！”


    ?Even the players outside the castle were shocked now, because the player was wearing an invisibility cloak and should not be able to see him with the naked eye!


    "Thief!" Yan Jiayu suddenly pointed at the shadow at the corner of the street and shouted. However, the people around him just looked back and continued to chase the invisible player. Only a few came to comfort him and went She pointed to the location for inspection.


    徐获几人对视一眼，意识到宝石城居民是有特殊方法来区分自己人和外人，而不光是因为童话世界中的知根知底。


    ?Then the whole city began to search for thieves. Every household turned on their lights, took out lighting tools, hoes, rolling pins and other weapons and went out to search the streets.


    “You guys come together, if we don’t catch the murderer, everyone will be in danger!” A Gemstone City person invited Xu Huo to several people.


    ??Having seen the "cost of crime", and not wanting to become a street rat that the whole city calls out for beating before the customs clearance mission has progressed, the players have no choice but to help.


    ?Before leaving, Xu Huo turned his head and looked in the direction of the castle, paused before following Yan Jiayu and left.


    The whole city didn''t sleep that night. During the search for the player who broke into the castle, two players took the opportunity to enter the house. However, after stepping in, they were also labeled as "thieves". The residents were dissatisfied. They chased and blocked him.


    When one of them was angry, he used a large-scale destruction weapon. Many people died at first, but he was quickly cut off by the guards who came over with gem shields, and the power was greatly weakened. In order to deal with them, Gem City also moved in Large crossbows and cannons.


    Unless the players simply kill everyone in the entire city in one go, the pursuit will not stop, and there are even players watching from the other side who secretly shoot cold arrows. Therefore, no matter how long the entanglement lasts, the players who have become "criminals" can only escape. .


    “It’s useless to go in there. We’re all in the castle anyway, why not just kidnap the king out?” Li Kun cursed.


    "Looking at the way he was forced to panic, he probably didn''t find anyone." Duan Cheng said: "Besides, it''s useless to find the king. The focus of the two customs clearance tasks is not on the king."
