Players’ NPC daddy

"This is quite troublesome. I'd better not sunbathe."

Blaze sat up regretfully and began to deal with the letters that had accumulated over the past two days.

Because he was in the vertical hell, the peregrine falcons couldn't reach him, so the letters piled up. The peregrine falcons got angry and pecked at Blaze's helmet with their beaks, scattering the letters all over the floor.

Audrey and Marika only had one letter; they both held important positions and were very busy. Melusi also had only one letter, seemingly having many tedious matters to deal with in this foreign world.

Most of the letters were from Herbie, the first of which inquired about any recent discovery of an enemy that would require the combined efforts of all foreigners to overcome. After the Nemean Line, Herbie had come to regard powerful monsters as a treasure trove.

Blazer took out a large piece of paper and planned to reply to Herbie's letter in one go. So the first line he wrote was "I think there is something wrong with the Holy Cross Church."

"I have a feeling... Herbie will jump up in fright when he sees these words." The chicken spread its wings to block the sunlight for Blaze, while complaining about Blaze's letter.

"Furthermore, you simply condensed the responses to each letter into a single sentence and then arranged them in order. It doesn't feel like a letter at all."

"I think Herbie would appreciate that succinct answer."

Blaze tapped his helmet with his pen, thinking back to Herbie at night. Herbie always stayed up late to deal with a large number of letters. As a senior partner of Hermes's Traveling Hat, she had a very busy business to handle, and since she didn't trust many people, she had to do it herself.

The letters to the senior partner of Hermes' Traveling Hat were always filled with flattery, and Herbie would always scribble over them with his pen in frustration.

"I didn't want to burden her too much with my reply."

"Are you serious?" Chicken looked at what Blaze wrote, about the Supreme Prince, the earth-shaking crisis, the monster army, and the Fairy Kingdom building its own teleportation tower.

If only one of them was brought up, Herbie would toss and turn at night and couldn't sleep, but Blazer wrote it all down in one breath.

"You miss Herbie a lot, don't you? It makes you lonely without this little rascal around, so you plan to use this method to get her to come over."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and deliver the letter." Blaze rolled up the letter unhappily and stuffed it into the feathers on the chicken's breast.

Blaze thought about it and realized that he hadn't replied to the letter for several days, and that Herbie might be a little angry, so he found some things in the warehouse as a bribe.

"Ah, there's just one left."

Blaze took out an unknown white flower and, with the chicken's face full of anticipation and eagerness to see the show, he placed his hand towards the chicken's feathers. But just as he was about to touch it, Blaze withdrew his hand.

Ji sighed regretfully. The good show was ruined and the third party failed to join.

"Aren't these flowers too cheap?"

Blaze stared at the white flower in front of him, a flower that even Blessing didn't recognize by its name. It didn't seem suitable to be given to Herbie. He should give something more substantial, like money or something.

……

"You're kidding, one silver coin."

Herbie, who was hunched over the desk, stared blankly at the silver coins tumbling on his table.

Her dear money-making baaah! Dear friend, Blaze finally wrote back to her after a few days of not contacting her, and gave her a silver coin as if giving pocket money to a child.

"At least give me a gold coin! You're so stingy!" Herbie reached out and pressed down the tumbling silver coin, and put this silver coin and the ancient Arcadia silver coin in the same small box.

"Believe me, he was going to give you something even more exciting." The chicken covered its beak with its wings and sighed with deep regret. But she couldn't just grab it directly, nor could she instigate it. Only flowers given by Blaze would be named after the Supreme Prince.

"I think the content of this letter is already very explosive. If I didn't have other important things to worry about, I would almost jump up and down." Herbie shook the letter in his hand, his face full of headache.

"What happened recently?"

"A new group of strangers suddenly appeared, killing people. They specifically targeted prestigious guilds, and some neutral monsters became their targets as well. Many kingdom commissions were interrupted by them."

"Neutral monster?" Ji was stunned. She remembered what the people in the evil foreign land were discussing.

"Will they attack Blaze, who was once the regional lord?"

"Maybe." Herbie sorted out the letter and shook his head regretfully.

"Then we must pray for those strangers."

……

Blaze slowly sat up and was surrounded by seven or eight foreigners dressed in black robes.

"My fellow strangers, I must say that wearing a black robe in broad daylight is not at all discreet. If you want to conceal your identity, I recommend the [Wanderer's White Robe] sold by [Hermes's Traveling Cap]."

"Black Beast Knight Blaze!"

One of them tore off his black robe, and an extremely arrogant smile appeared on his plain face.

"Hand over the special equipment you have!"

Chapter 245 Super Reflection VS Reading Instructions

Being attacked by strangers has always been something Blaze wanted to avoid as much as possible. He didn't want to fight strangers, he wanted to travel with them and experience adventures.

But things went against one's wishes. First, the predecessor of the Black Beast Knight was too notorious. Even now, some strangers would roll on the ground when they saw him. Then came the current situation.

He became a little too famous, and some strangers wanted his power.

"Okay, let's do this quickly..."

Before Blaze could finish his words, the black-robed stranger A, let's call him, extended his hand.

"【Disarm Sword】!"

The twisted greatsword in Blaze's hand bounced out of his hand and landed in the grass in the distance.

"This will seal the only threatening [Fatal Execution]!" Black-robed Stranger A blew into his palm with great pride.

"All we have to do now is surround this guy here and kill him repeatedly. We'll definitely be able to find the Silver Blood he transformed into and the Fire Prayer he used during the battle against the Nemean Giants."

"And there's loot from the Nemean Giants. I heard even NPCs can get monster drops!"

Blaze looked at his palm, somewhat amazed at this magic he had never seen before. It was true that one needed to see more of the world. Look, he had learned something new today.

"Hey, look, without his sword this guy just stands there motionless."

The black-robed stranger A showed off to his companions quite proudly, then walked towards Blaze with his fist raised.

[Explosive Fist]

Blaze glanced away, seeing the black-robed stranger's preparatory movements as he readied the skill he was about to unleash. This move was incredibly powerful and could cause a chain reaction of explosions, but its weakness was that upon impact, his fist would freeze in place, charging and exploding.

Of course, this move can be used like a powerful flying brick. When the opponent seizes the charged stiffness and counterattacks, the charged power can be canceled and the dodge skill can be used to dodge.

So Blaze remained standing still, and at the moment when the black-robed stranger A hit his head with [Explosive Fist], he leaned forward with all his strength, trying to use his body as a weapon to severely injure the opponent.

But the black-robed stranger reacted in less than 0.1 seconds and immediately dodged sideways, and this action was within Blaze's expectations.

The physical collision was just a pretext. The real attack came when the black-robed stranger A rolled over and kicked his right foot directly into the opponent's abdomen.

boom--

Black-robed Stranger A was kicked and sent flying, but Blaze frowned. Unharmed, he reacted with incredible speed, instantly adjusting his roll to a raised-two-fingered stance and using those two fingers to clamp onto his toes, neutralizing the boulder-shattering kick.

Blaze was sure that the black-robed stranger A had not anticipated his actions. Whether it was a physical collision or a volley, the black-robed stranger A's face showed panic, but he reacted and responded.

"Tsk, this guy seems to have been updated. He's different from the stupid one before."

"This guy is a big celebrity. We don't have that much time to play around. Let's go together!"

At the command of the black-robed stranger A, more than a dozen people rushed forward.

Blaze subconsciously lowered his body, but he soon noticed something unusual.

These guys are fast, even faster than Greenland, but only fast.

If Greenland is an extremely terrifying performer who treats combat like the art of death, then these guys are just a bunch of rough lines.

They perfectly fit what Greenland had previously reminded them of: the most taboo thing for those who want to become truly strong.

That is skill-dependent.

Each attack relied entirely on skills, without any adjustments based on their own thoughts. It was simply a blast of skill. Their attacks were like throwing rocks into a lake, so loud that even with Blaze's back turned, he could feel it.

Blaze casually swatted away the straight punch and slapped back with his backhand. The opponent instantly twisted his body and slid down along the attack trajectory of the slap with great difficulty.

Blaze immediately prepared to block it, a clever dodge, sliding away from the attack while also kicking it in. But the opponent didn't do so, and even rolled over on the ground in a panic.

"Ok?"

No, it’s not that they rely on skills, but that they have to rely on skills.

Blaze's gaze narrowed, his golden eyes gleaming as the world turned black again, white lines outlining the movements of the strangers.

They seemed to be unable to control their bodies in time and could only use their skills to keep their bodies up. Isn't this what happened when Greenland's mind couldn't keep up with his body when he was talking to Jack the Ripper?

But when an attack comes, they become extremely sharp.

Could it be that the opponent only has a quick reaction when he is under attack?

Blaze took a risk and tested it. When the opponent raised his hand to start the skill's guidance, he immediately retreated and created some distance. The opponent was stunned and attacked.

"Damn, is this guy reading instructions?!"

"What!? It's already 2124, and there's still this stupid design!"

"No wonder he was surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen people, yet he was able to dodge all the attacks!"

"I see. You guys seem to be out of shape from time to time." Blaze twisted his neck hard. He didn't like these guys for some reason, so he didn't use [Translation]. His voice once again turned into a low growl under the distortion of the armor.

To be honest, he was playing, and he was having a lot of fun.

He hated fighting, but enjoyed the interaction during battle, which made him feel like he was communicating with the other party mentally across time and space.

But these guys were like puppets controlled by something, waving their arms unconsciously, and could not hear the sound of shattering coming from their bodies.

"Come to think of it, I've had something I've wanted to try for a while now!"

Blaze's right hand suddenly lashed back, and the [Assassin] skill [Hand of the Nameless] was caught by him. No matter how fast his reaction was, it was meaningless if he was caught.

"Idiot! Even if you catch me, you can't escape!" The stranger laughed shrilly and raised his weapon to stab Blaze. The dagger flashing with poisonous light easily pierced into the heavy armor.

"This is stained with a deadly poison that can destroy the flesh. Once it penetrates the body..."

The stranger's voice gradually faded away. He found that he had not pierced the armor, but the armor itself had cracked. Then a huge shadow enveloped him, and he was struck by a terror that he would never forget.

"Dear strangers, you have been online for too long..."

It was a bloody mouth opened towards him.

"It's time to log off and rest!"

Chapter 246 Everyone is offline!

The stranger turned to dust and disappeared, leaving behind only a pale soul flame, which was shattered between the closed fangs.

The upright and burly werewolf body shrouded in shadows and full of oppressive power made all the strangers around him subconsciously take a step back, but what followed was a fanatical emotion.

"Has he entered the second stage? The probability of Silver Blood dropping in this form must be higher!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! We are so lucky!"

Blaze spat. It was the first time he'd killed something with his mouth. He had to admit, the human tasted terrible. Even the soul flame had taken on a strange flavor. The biting skill had to be permanently sealed.

However, the equipment dropped from the opponent is still good, and selling them all to Hebi will also bring in a good income.

Next, he would have to let all these strangers log off and rest, but he would need to carefully consider what skills to use.

The greatest characteristic of the Stranger is that "Death is only a new beginning" and "Those who killed me once will not kill me a second time." Every death makes the Stranger stronger, and the same tricks become less effective each time.

Blaze remembered the day his life changed. The biggest reason was that the Black Beast Knight's moves had been discovered by foreigners, and they knew how to deal with them even with their eyes closed. There were many similar tragedies, so he had to prioritize hiding the information.

Silver Blood had already been exposed, so there was no need to hide the Silver Werewolf form. However, Leo, Deer Hunter, and Loki's Torch had to be hidden, especially Leo, who had to carefully dodge weapons and magic that posed no threat to him.

There is also [Fatal Execution]. The opponent seems to think that this passive skill is only effective when a weapon is in hand, so he must use fighting skills as much as possible.

Only in this way can you give the opponent a surprise when he is resurrected and attacks again fully armed.

"But you all look the same, and you're all wearing hidden items, so I'll start with the ones closest to you!"

Blaze rushed directly towards the nearest black-robed stranger, swinging his fist to induce the other party to use a counterattack skill, but the fist was a bait, and the real attack was the concussion attack from his foot.

Then he grabbed the black-robed stranger who was bounced up and used [Thunder Throw] to smash him to the ground.

boom--

A huge hole appeared on the ground. The black-robed stranger, who was in close contact with the ground at a speed high enough to fly into the sky, opened his mouth wide, rolled his eyes, and gradually turned into dust.

Blaze discovered that these black-robed strangers were particularly fond of using their super-fast reflexes when attacked, using difficult blocking skills that could instantly negate all attacks.

These skills are indeed invincible, but they can be easily broken by using throwing skills.

This is also what he learned from the experienced master in Greenland.
