Players’ NPC daddy

Even the [Ares Howl] couldn't penetrate the stone gate's defense, so there was no need to try other means. In the countless hours that the Tomb Guarding Ghost Willow had spent, it must have thought of many ways. If even a giant couldn't think of a way to force its way in, then the key might really be the only way.

But just leaving like that would be like being a hooligan who harassed others but was slapped in the face and had to flee in embarrassment. It would be too embarrassing.

So the two of them pretended to use their skills to perform on the stone wall, even using skills that they normally had no use for, but in the end they still couldn't leave any trace.

In the end, Blaze even transformed into a silver werewolf, and a charged shot had no effect. It was so tough that it was hard to describe it as [defense].

"So you guys are back like the little hooligans who harassed someone, got slapped in the face, and ran away in embarrassment?"

The counterfeiter looked at the thing in his hand. Blaze and Dali Feizhuan behind him looked embarrassed, but the counterfeiter continued.

“Although you asked me to come and help, but when I saw the door was right in front of me, I couldn’t help but kick it directly... Well, yes, this is also a kind of minotaur.”

"Minotaur?" Blaze couldn't help but look at Dali Feizhuan, wondering why he mentioned this special monster with a minotaur's head and a human body at this time.

"This is just a special hobby of foreigners, don't worry about it." Dali Feizhuan laughed dryly and perfunctorily brushed off the question.

"We also found some special information about the lock. It might help you make a fake key."

Upon hearing this, the counterfeiter immediately put down his toy and turned back to look at Dali Feizhuan. He was intrigued by information that was helpful to his hobbies.

"This lock, ah~door~um...anyway, it's the keyhole, it's on top of a woman's head, and the lock is talking about something like king and loyalty."

"What kind of intelligence is this?"

"And the name of the gate is the Face of Tiyet."

"This is quite good information." The counterfeiter changed his posture and shook the thin piece of iron in his hand. His tone was still calm, but he talked more.

"Tiet is a symbol of a goddess, and there is something very special about the image of this goddess, that is, she wears a throne on her head. The door says that only her king can become one with her, and she will open the tomb door, so the combination of the mysterious keys in our hands is likely to be the king sitting on the throne."

"And the goddess' husband was also a king, and he was murdered and dismembered, which is also related to the key being divided into three parts."

"The death and dismemberment of the king brought about the separation and usurpation of the royal power, and the king's body was pieced together, which meant the return of the royal power. Considering the story related to this goddess... that ancient tomb is likely to be a very famous one."

Blazer couldn't help but applaud after hearing what the forger said. This was what always fascinated people about strangers. When they solved puzzles, they could also bring out ancient and interesting stories.

But the goddess' husband was dismembered and his power was taken away, which is really tragic.

"Now that things have developed to this point, I have also become interested." The counterfeiter raised his hand and threw the thing in his hand into the hands of Dali Feizhuan.

"This is?"

"I made a fake fragment model. Take a look at it and see how it feels."

"Hmm..." Dali Feizhuan squinted his eyes and observed it, then handed the fake fragment to Blaze. He knew nothing about this and in his eyes it was no different from a small wooden stick.

Blazer took the fake fragment and looked at it. Knowing it was fake, it was easy for him to find some flaws. But it must be said that he was worthy of being a person who could copy the pass gold coin. It was almost exactly the same as the original fragment, except...

"Is the size a little too big? It seems a little too long?" Blaze was a little unsure.

"Don't worry, this is just a normal improvement. A keyhole that has been in disrepair for a long time always needs a strong key to pry it open." The counterfeiter patted the materials on the forging table behind him, which contained not only refined gold, but also rare metals such as mithril.

"I want to make a luxurious key that is shiny and looks different at first glance."

"Generally speaking, shouldn't we make it as similar as possible? The lock has consciousness and eyes. What if it refuses to let us insert the key?" Dali Feizhuan couldn't help but raise his hand to complain. He didn't know why, but he felt that the counterfeiter was heading in an extraordinary direction.

"..." The counterfeiter did not answer, but just stared at the powerful flying brick.

Just when Dali Feizhuan was almost feeling his scalp numbing, the counterfeiter turned his head, touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Looking the same, and then revealing that it was fake which made her actual experience better... you are a genius."

Chapter 586: Perfect Key Inspiration

【Minotaur】

[A giant bull beast with divine power, a rare monster that always wanders in the maze. It has no tribe and seems to have been born along with the maze. Because its real name is too complicated, it is also called a minotaur. 】

Blaze thought about it over and over again but couldn't understand why a labyrinth creature like the Minotaur would have such an unbearable meaning in the mouth of a stranger.

It is hard to say whether it is unbearable or not, because strangers sometimes talk about this matter with a smile on their faces.

In short, the counterfeiter has successfully made a model of the mysterious fragment 2, and after they handed in all the drops from the Tomb Guardian Ghost Willow, they successfully borrowed the mysterious fragment 1. Now, the only thing left is the mysterious fragment 3 to complete the key to open the [Faces of Tiet].

The owner of the mysterious fragment 3, Lupin XIII, is a lone stranger. He once sneaked into the Holy Cross Kingdom and stole the country's secret treasure. This daring act also successfully earned him the profession of "Thief".

The unique profession [Thief] can learn and strengthen all skills that can take away the opponent's objects, including the necromancy-related [Heart Extraction].

Of course, the unique profession is not omnipotent, nor is it invincible. The real strength of this profession is that it can completely hide its whereabouts. Except for strangers, no one can remember that it has been here.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to find the whereabouts of this thief, unless he uses the related services of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Herbie just clapped his hands, and in just a few minutes, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] sent thick registration books from various places, and found the consumption records of the thief Lupin XIII in them.

"This stranger is moving around the auction house, most likely wanting to get in on the action." After Herbie finished speaking, he looked up and noticed that Dali Feizhuan had a strange expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, just... nothing." What Dali Feizhuan actually wanted to say was that if one day something like [Hermes's Traveling Hat] were to erode the kingdom from within, he would definitely choose his side appropriately.

After all, if you think about it carefully, you will find that [Hermes' Traveling Hat] has infiltrated into many kingdoms, and the peace and stability of the kingdom is built on the operation of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Not long ago, the Holy Cross Empire simply kicked out the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] for a period of time, and then a series of events occurred, such as the collapse of the quality of life of the people and the mass migration of foreigners. This shows the profound influence of the [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

According to the normal routine, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] will sooner or later steal the kingdom or directly undermine the kingdom's power. In general, players have to stand on the side of the kingdom and become enemies with [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

But that's the general situation. As of now, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is quite good to foreigners. If a plot of stealing a country really happens, most players will choose to stand on the side of [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

After all...the royal palace has always been a good copy since ancient times.

"I know what you're thinking, but I can assure you that it won't happen. We are just businessmen, not politicians."

Hebi said that stealing the country or undermining the power of the kingdom's nobles means being responsible for the kingdom, but the country's finances are always in deficit and it's a mess. Whoever wants to be in power can be in power, and businessmen like them don't want to take it over anyway.

"From the recent registration of the Thief Lupin XIII using the inn, he is currently killing time around the city where the auction is being held - Mercury City. He just used the inn and fell asleep ten minutes ago. This is his house number."

Herbie quickly wrote down a string of numbers on the paper and then handed the paper to Dali Feizhuan.

"You guys go now and set up a trap so that you can definitely catch him."

"I understand." Dali Feizhuan stretched out his hands to take the note, then called his fairy Peregrine Falcon, sent the message, and then he hurried away.

"You scared him." Blaze folded his arms across his chest and bent over, touching Herbie's head with his shoulder.

"It's called showing off one's abilities in front of the right people." Hebi waved his hand. "There's an extremely malicious act among the strangers, called [Blocking the Spring]. It was invented by the strangers to torture fellow immortal strangers."

"Continue to kill the target at the resurrection location until the target is willing to spit out information. For this reason, it is extremely important to know where the target resurrects."

"So that's how it is. If we know the hotel's house number, we can easily block the target." Blaze nodded, but then he thought something was wrong and immediately lowered his voice.

"Then didn't you just help the Fairy Kingdom to block the spring? This can't be..."

"The Fairy Nation is the right target, and this is also a test. If the Fairy Nation abuses the help I give it, it means that this guild is only legitimate on the surface, and cannot conduct in-depth transactions."

Trust tests and trials come so suddenly.

"Don't tell them secretly." Herbie raised his hand and punched Blaze's waist, using this small action to tell Blaze that he was still normal.

The days that followed became calm, a calm river with undercurrents.

Blaze didn't rush to upgrade his level, but stayed in the Goblin Village to practice [Pankrasin] and maintain his proficiency. After the training, he would go to the Fire Rabbit Forge to study.

[Blacksmith] Although it is a manufacturing profession, it is not surprising that a blacksmith would use a flaming hammer to blow up monster heads, and it is not surprising that he would pick up the materials himself.

The auction date was approaching, the borrowed mysterious key fragment 1 was returned, and the counterfeiter reached a bottleneck.

"Damn it, which one is better, the more luxurious and strong yellow-haired one, or the one who looks like my late husband but is completely different and rough and wild!"

The forger's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the forging table like a madman and talked to himself. This situation made Blaze have the urge to kill the stranger and force him to rest.

But Blaze is a civilized man after all, so he usually has a chat before taking action.

"Um..." Blaze coughed and thought of a good entry point. "You said that the key divided into three parts symbolizes that Tiet's husband was dismembered and the royal power was taken away. Who did this?"

"Ah? It's their brother..."

The counterfeiter paused, his eyes lit up with disbelief, and the previous bottleneck was blown away by the gushing inspiration.

"I understand—"

Before the forger could finish his words, he turned into a pile of dust and disappeared.

Blazer calmly put down the hammer in his hand. The forger was too fragile. He only hit him once and the forger died.

The counterfeiter is a [prisoner] who will be resurrected in prison after death, so the Goblin Village has built a dungeon specifically for the counterfeiter.

Chapter 587 Monkey Thief

【Lupin 13th LV99】

A monkey, or to be more precise, a monkey beastman opened her eyes on the soft bed in the inn. The incredibly soft material from the other world allowed her to stretch herself on the bed.

Why is it a monkey beastman? This is called respecting the character. Since he is named Lupin, how can he not have a monkey face?

Since you have already made a monkey face, you might as well just become a monkey beastman, and you don’t have to go through the trouble of pinching your face.

It's such a simple reason that a young girl chose a male monkey orc as her image in the popular game.

Lupin XIII has been troubled lately because she can't find a suit-shaped protective gear, which is the only thing missing from her Lupin image.

Suits are the only clothing that do not hinder the wearer's large-scale movements in movies and TV shows. In reality, suits can make those so-called suit thugs get their crotches stuck like crazy.

Such an inconvenient outfit would naturally not appear in a world where practicality is the premise. She was troubled by this and stole a lot of things.

She was named Lupin XIII, so she couldn't give up her job if she didn't wear a suit. Of course, she also had sex, but unfortunately she was wearing crotchless pants and couldn't take them off.

Putting aside these long-term worries, the most worrying thing for Lupin XIII at the moment is how to steal the mysterious fragment 13 from the hands of the Fairy Kingdom.

That group of high-level players were basically all at level 99, and each of them was incredibly strong, with quite a few of them even reaching the professional level.

Lupin XIII's headache was not because he didn't dare to take action, but because he didn't have the opportunity to socialize with them. To be honest... her fighting skills were not enough to enter the social circle of the [Fairy Kingdom].

"How can I interact with them? Really, is there anyone who can help me..."

Lupin XIII pushed open the door in distress, but a man who was like a wall and whose head was higher than the door frame blocked her way.

"Are you Lupin XIII who holds the Mysterious Fragment 3?"

This line is something that only a small fry in an entertainment work who is only given a one-shot appearance is used to highlight a bigger villain.

Holding this mysterious fragment 2, she was indeed treated like the protagonist in an entertainment work. Then the next plot was that she killed her way through and robbed these people of their props.

Lupin XIII laughed, and was about to imitate her idol and make a cynical provocation when she saw clearly the badge on the belt of the person in front of her - a silver fairy emblem.

She wanted to take back her words, she had misplaced her position. She was not the protagonist who was chased by the minions because she was holding the mysterious fragment 2, but the one who took something she shouldn't have and was hunted by the protagonists.

"I don't know how you found me, but the real Lupin will not surrender!" Lupin XIII roared, and suddenly reached out and pulled off the belt of the man in front of him.

As the man screamed, all the equipment on his lower body fell off.

[Thief] has a unique professional skill [Forced Equipment Removal], which has a simple effect. It can grab some special parts of the target equipment, such as buttons, belts, etc., and make the opponent's equipment fall off directly.

If the equipment falls, you can pick it up directly.

After being hit by this trick, most people would immediately put on their equipment with a nervous look on their faces, without worrying about attack or defense.

Lupin XIII is a very principled person, and will never steal the dropped equipment, but will gracefully escape when the other party is panicking about stealing the equipment. She is devoted to the plot, likes to passively fall into chaos and disputes, and plays the role of a thief who does whatever she wants, so she will not take the initiative to engage in PVP.

The moment the members of the Fairy Kingdom who were blocking the road in front of her subconsciously bent down to pick up their equipment, Lupin XIII flew out directly from the air. The moment she flew out, her heart began to beat wildly.

The hotel was full of members of the [Fairy Kingdom]. Although some of them were sitting there chatting and eating melon seeds, this was undoubtedly a siege against her.

The fairies of justice have come to catch this thief.

"A thief should have a thief's stage, fairies!"

Lupin XIII took out a smoke bomb and was about to throw it to create chaos when a member of the Fairy Kingdom dressed as a magician instantly raised his wand.

"【Exchange·Level 1】"

The smoke bomb in Lupin XIII's hand disappeared, and was replaced by a wooden barrel cup filled with milk.

[Exchange] Space magic, from the lowest level 1 to the highest level 9, can exchange anything from a fist-sized object to a huge rock.

This magic has no requirements for the two objects being exchanged, so it is possible to use a bomb to exchange the air next to the other person's head and complete the magical operation of a bomb attack.

However, since this magic is activated by selecting an object, the lower the level, the smaller the selected object, and the higher the precision required for the operation.

The corner of Lupin XIII's eye twitched. He could use the lowest level 13 exchange, which could be said to be the strongest among them. Moreover, he activated the [Exchange] the moment she took out the smoke bomb.

This accuracy and reaction speed is like a cowboy's revolver duel, where a single shot breaks his opponent's trigger finger.

"That's just the extent!" Lupin XIII drank the milk in the cup in one gulp and immediately rushed back to the room.
