The silence in the courtyard was broken by the sound of the door opening. All the players moved upon hearing the sound. They pointed their weapons at the door of the government office. The few melee characters standing at the door even raised their weapons.
However, everyone's movements quickly froze. The person who walked out of the building was their quest issuer: Giordano.
No one dared to slight him. All the players consciously made way for Giordano. After staying in the courtyard for so long, everyone was very familiar with Master Qiao's stroll route. However, a figure flashed. Gu Fei had already appeared behind Giordano with a smile on his face.
Everyone screamed in surprise. Just as they were about to move, Gu Fei flipped his hand and placed the Night Streak beside Giordano.
"Don't move!" Everyone heard Gu Fei shout.
Everyone was stunned. Then, they heard their guild leader, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple, shout in the guild channel, "Don't move!"
This guy actually did this. He was too despicable! Although Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had given the order to not move, he was gritting his teeth in anger. He had a strong desire to tear Gu Fei into pieces. However, he had to remind himself again and again that he had to look at the bigger picture. A lack of forbearance in small matters would spoil the bigger plan.
Giordano was completely unaffected by the situation in front of him. He continued to walk on his own. Gu Fei followed beside him. His hand was steady, and the sword was very close …
"Stand back …" Gu Fei reminded the group of players in front of him who were looking at him with hatred.
At this moment, everyone understood the stakes of Gu Fei's actions. If their quest issuer was attacked, what kind of punishment would they receive for completing their quest? This was something that they did not dare to imagine.
It was because of this that Gu Fei planned to use an NPC as a hostage.
This was an unprecedented hostage situation. The hostage did not seem to be aware of his situation. He did not cooperate, nor did he resist. He continued to walk on his own path.
The kidnapper did not threaten Giordano's life at all. He just raised his sword lazily and maintained a very close distance with Giordano. As long as he tilted his sword slightly, he would be able to complete an attack.
The courtyard was quiet again. No one dared to act rashly. Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Gu Fei and Giordano walk away. The rustling of their footsteps was extremely ear-piercing.
In contrast to the silence in the stadium, the guild channel was in full swing. After everyone condemned Gu Fei's shamelessness, they immediately began to come up with a plan, and there were only a few ideas. Archers would snipe, thieves would sneak in …
Amidst the discussions, the players who were Thieves and Archers all volunteered. They were extremely enthusiastic, but the decision on how to proceed was still left to the guild leader, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple.
Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's face darkened, and he couldn't make up his mind. This was because Gu Fei was too close to Giordano. Moreover, he did not need to kill the target. As long as he completed a casual attack, it would be the same as killing the hostage. Such a simple act of killing the hostage would make it extremely difficult for them to rescue the hostage. Whether it was long-range sniping or sneaking in, it was extremely risky.
At this time, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had gradually gotten over his initial impulse when he saw Gu Fei's actions. He began to calmly consider the problem. There was no need to take this risk. Even if they killed this guy now, they would only be venting their anger. To the guild, there would be no benefits. To their guild, the quest completion rate was the most important thing. Giordano's appearance was the time to announce the completion rate. Today, after the ruckus caused by this group of people, they really did not know how low the quest completion rate had fallen. If it had already fallen to zero, then they would not need to care about Gu Fei's threat at all.
With this thought in mind, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple finally made a decision. Not only did he not give the order to attack, but he also had the guild members make way for him. He even took the initiative to clear the path to the courtyard's entrance.
When Gu Fei saw this, he saved himself some trouble. He could not change Giordano's path. If he followed Giordano, he would always be a distance away from the courtyard's main entrance. Gu Fei originally wanted to force Three Sighs of Flowing Maple to make way for him. However, when he saw that Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had already guessed his thoughts and took the initiative to clear the path, he did not need to say anything more.
"Guild Leader Flowing Maple, you really know the big picture, haha …" When Gu Fei saw Three Sighs of Flowing Maple and a few others appear in his field of vision, he laughed and greeted them. His smile was slightly forced because he did not feel very proud of what he had done. Even though the entire guild had been suppressed by this move, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple naturally could not smile.
Flowing Maple Three Sighs obviously couldn't bring himself to laugh. With a cold expression, he said, "Everyone is just doing this for the mission."
"Long live you understand, long live you understand," Gu Fei said.
Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's eyes flashed, but he did not reply. At this time, he had already arrived at the place where Giordano was going to stop. Here, he could ask about their quest completion rate. At this time, Gu Fei had already chosen his escape route. On this route, he did not discover any suspicious points …
"Then, I'll take my leave first," Gu Fei said.
Three Sighs of Flowing Maple did not say anything. He did not want to "say goodbye" to Gu Fei at all.
Gu Fei sighed deeply. He did not have any ill feelings towards Three Sighs of Flowing Maple and Flowers in Flowing Maple. It was just that the mode of the quest had pushed the two of them into opposing sides. More importantly, in the words of Brother You and the others, Gu Fei's quest was something that he had imagined himself. Because of this, he had affected the other guild's quest and exhausted their efforts. It was inevitable that Gu Fei felt a little guilty.
What made him feel even more guilty was that after causing such a ruckus, there was no progress in the quest at all. This meant that if he wanted to continue, he would have to come back and cause trouble again. He would have to give Flowers in Flowing Maple another headache.
"I think it's better not to tell them about this … This is not good news for them …" Gu Fei sighed as he quickly escaped from Giordano's side. Looking back, he saw that no one had attacked him.
How trustworthy … Gu Fei felt even more guilty as he thought about it.
However, this layer of guilt did not last long. Just when Gu Fei was about thirty meters away from Giordano, a distance that even a long-range mage could not reach, a tsunami of curses suddenly erupted from behind him.
What was the meaning of being condemned by the masses? Gu Fei suddenly had a personal understanding of it.
Following that, arrows from the Archers who could still attack at this distance flew over like a swarm of locusts.
Following that, Gu Fei saw some people flash out from the exit of the courtyard, firmly guarding the door. At the same time, the Thieves who were lying in ambush on this path also began to appear, brazenly charging towards Gu Fei.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy …" Gu Fei lamented, but he did not feel flustered. This was because this situation was within his expectations. He did not expect that after being sent halfway by Giordano, the Flowers in Flowing Maple would continue to quietly watch him walk the other half.
So the moment he left Giordano's side, he was surprised that he was not attacked.
In this way, it seemed that this was just the other party being cautious. The other party wanted to completely confirm the safety of the hostages before carrying out a sudden attack on him, the kidnapper.
It was not a surprising arrangement. If there was no such arrangement, it would be surprising.
Gu Fei suddenly turned his head and changed his direction. This made the Flowers in Flowing Maple, who had already shifted their focus to the exit, very surprised.
And this new path was also what Gu Fei had been eyeing for a long time: a shortcut that was not guarded by anyone, a shortcut to the wall.
Along the way, Gu Fei had only encountered three robbers who tried to stop him. He didn't go all out. With a feint and a fancy footwork, the Thief was already behind him. Turning around, and chasing again. Gu Fei's speed was not fake. Not any Thief could catch up to him, and these three Common Thieves belonged to the category that could not catch up to him.
Before he reached the bottom of the wall, Gu Fei's flying hook had already shot out, and with a swing, he had already caught the top of the wall. He ran, jumped, and stepped on the wall. His movements were done in one breath. In the blink of an eye, Gu Fei had already climbed five meters, and as he climbed, he put away the end of the rope. The Thieves who had chased him to the bottom of the wall could only look up and sigh.
The only threat that could pose was the Archer. After all, it was difficult to climb and dodge at the same time. When Gu Fei successfully climbed to the top of the wall, he was still hit by two arrows.
"There really aren't that many experts …" Gu Fei sighed after noticing the damage of these two arrows. The damage of these two arrows was mediocre, and it could not compare to the damage of a powerful person like Yutian Shenming.
After throwing the arrows that he had pulled out of the wall, Gu Fei had already turned around and jumped down from the other side. When he landed, he was already in the fog, and his escape was successful.
The Flowers in Flowing Maple did not continue to chase after him, because at this time, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple had already finished talking to Giordano. What greatly surprised him was that although the Quest Completion Rate had decreased, it was far less than he had expected. After such a big fuss, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple would not be surprised if they directly deducted zero points. However, this result made him feel quite excited.
The Quest Completion Rate had only decreased by five percent. After Three Sighs of Flowing Maple announced this result in the guild, everyone was satisfied.
"It's only five points! It's not much, I thought it would all be deducted. "Most of the people who thought this way were in a good mood at this time.
"It seems that we were a little too nervous!" Someone said.
"These people might not be here to deliberately cause trouble. They might really be here for a quest." Someone said.
"But we still decreased by five points!"
"Maybe we don't care about them and just let them complete the quest calmly. Then, it won't happen again …"
"But who knows if they are real or not?"
"Sigh, it's hard to predict people's hearts …"
The discussion became more and more profound. At this time, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's brows were tightly knitted. This was because he had already learned from Drifting that the most difficult person to deal with would definitely come again, and his quest would definitely cause the Flowers in Flowing Maple to suffer heavy losses.
Assassinate Giordano …
