Tania city, parliament hall.
Due to the war, the usual parliament was temporarily suspended, but for the same reason, this place has become the busiest place in the principality. Players passing here can see countless public figures every day*
Members of the * side were constantly coming in and out here, some with solemn expressions, and others with anxious faces. It seemed that the war ahead was in crisis again, as if the war had burned before their eyes. The meeting hall became a temporary command post.
, many congressmen have serious opinions, but most people in power, including the president and many congressmen, have expressed tolerance for this.
After all, the empire has pushed the front line to the border of Eta County. If Fars Fortress is breached, Tania itself may be the next place.
For many players in the principality, this kind of thing should be considered a good thing, because the turbulent world gives players more opportunities to integrate what they can play with the world of a big country to achieve the goal of gaming.
A new level of life. Players in the free world have no choice but to grow up in a short period of time. Most of the main players in the middle level are now in their thirties and are still struggling hard at the bottom and middle levels of society, so they are often in a state of "serving the country."
He wanted to serve the principality, but it was difficult to be accepted by the senior officials of the principality. Earlier in the war, the principality official had opened the war participation system, recruiting interested people, including adventurers, to join the army.
battle, but at that time, players were generally too low-level to be favored by the recruitment officials of the principality. Secondly, they also felt that this kind of recruitment was meaningless. The situation in the principality was far less worrying than Speaker Pamir thought.
, so they haven’t tried their best. Until now, players still have no way to join the principality’s front line through official channels – the principality wants to recruit combat-effective troops again, but unfortunately it is too late.
But just like Wings of Liberty, there are still players who can participate in such large world events in the game.
Players who know each other, as well as veterans who have been in Tania for a long time, can see the shadows of members of the Jianghu among those who come in and out. As the first guild recognized by the alliance, they play an important role in the game.
In the early days, there was a secret contest here with the Wings of Freedom, which was also here. Later, after taking over the rule here, Jiang Hu naturally began to communicate with the senior officials of the principality, and thus naturally entered the core of the principality's power.
To this day, Jianghu's dominance in Tania is quite famous as the first guild in their alliance. In the city of the principality, only the Sword of Justice can faintly compete with it for some power. However, with the changes in the war,
The original balance in the hearts of many players has begun to tilt towards their old rival of three years, Wings of Liberty.
No matter how you look at it, this war looks like the other side's revenge.
With their long-term development in Tania, Jianghu naturally intervened in this increasingly dangerous war. However, unlike the Wings of Freedom, although they could not directly influence the principality's arrangements in the war, they more or less still
Being able to participate in the decision-making center of the principality and thus know some core decisions is just like their members being able to enter and leave the meeting hall at this time - for the safety of the principality's front, Pamir canceled regular meetings twice and moved this place
It has been used as a temporary command post for the war, and I have been sitting here personally for several days. Many of the staff who make suggestions also stay here. They don't even leave this place for food and accommodation. Together with the Speaker of the Principality, they are always paying attention to the changes on the front line.
.
Although it is very likely, if the principality is really defeated, the situation of Jianghu in the free world can be imagined. This is also the main reason why they persuade the Sword of Justice to join the resistance.
In the eyes of passing players, today's situation seems to be no different from the past. Countless messengers are coming in and out of the gym-like building door, constantly delivering the latest battle reports and internal orders, until a strange figure slowly appears.
When he appeared on the road in front of the door and gradually walked towards the door, some players who were accustomed to wartime emergencies noticed something unusual.
The dress and temperament of that woman are so different from the others here.
Golden lines entwined around the blue robe, forming complex patterns all over the woman's body. Although those lines did not emit dazzling magic light, they still reflected under the sunlight.
Dark golden light. Because she was wearing a hood, no one could see her appearance, but just the gorgeous robe and the exquisite staff inlaid with a huge sapphire in her hand were enough.
Let the people around her know that she is a high-level mage.
Then, everyone, including the guards guarding the door, watched helplessly as she walked into the meeting hall and out the door, holding her staff step by step.
The interior of the parliamentary hall, which used to be noisy in the past, was also extremely busy at this time. Various office staff were walking around between the seats, delivering the latest news and their own analysis reports from time to time, including the Speaker.
Many military ministers referred to it, ignoring the strange looks of some people who noticed abnormalities. The woman in blue robe walked straight into the door, and then walked to the front of the square table in the middle - behind the square table, Ernifia
The current Speaker of the Principality, Pamir, has just released a report analyzing the war situation.
"You..." He raised his head and looked at the woman who was incompatible with everyone present in surprise: "Are you...?"
"I am Christine." The woman put the staff upright on her chest and then made a mage's etiquette.
"...I've heard you." The Speaker of the Principality was silent for a while, and then asked again: "So, one of the members of the seven-person parliament came here to do...
what?"
"I come with the sincerity and apology of the Council of Mages." The woman bowed again and said: "I already have a little understanding of the current situation in the principality. I think..."
"You're going to need my help somewhere."
"As far as I know, the Council of Mages will never choose a side in the national struggle in the free world." The meticulous middle-aged man rubbed his temples with his fingers: "So...why do we, as seven people,
Will you, the parliament, make such a decision?"
"Won't Fernando Wiggins throw his wrath at your head?"
"This is the decision of the seven-person council, so there will be no worries as you imagined." Christine's hood was still covering her head, so no one could see her expression: "As for why there is
Such a decision..."
"You'll find out soon," she whispered.
****************
The Karon Pass is still brightly lit at night, and the security is high. This is not only because of the importance of this pass, but also because there was an attack near here not long ago, so although there are not many guards at the pass, the guards
The commander of Guan still strengthened all defenses to ensure that nothing like bandits would invade here again.
Therefore, camping near here is very safe compared to the wild.
It's not that Duan Qing and the others didn't want to rest in the hotel in Guan Nei, it's just that the girl got inexplicably involved in the shopping process in the afternoon, causing their trip to be delayed. When they wanted to cancel their trip, they instead went to
When they were resting at the Traveler's House, the rude-looking innkeeper told them with a regretful expression that the inn was already occupied by traveling merchants.
So when the soldiers guarding the gate began to clear the area, the three of them were dumbfounded.
Fortunately, there seemed to be a lot of players like them - and it seemed that there were no less of them every day - Duan Qing and the others followed their example and set up camp on the roadside not far from the pass. The road leading to the hinterland of the principality
The official road seems to be very spacious, and due to its proper construction, it is a good place to set up camp in terms of safety and comfort. However, through general observation, Duan Qing also somewhat understands why the "bandits" would choose this place.
The place was attacked.
The reasons are all the same.
Mengzhu didn't seem to be sad because of the disruption to her schedule. Mengzhu was still happily rummaging around in the tent, shouting and talking with nearby players from time to time. The girl was not happy because she had the opportunity to sleep in the wild, but
Because in the previous shopping trip, the three of them did get a lot of things, and they were of high quality. Because of these items and equipment, she felt unhappy even in the afternoon because she could not go to the destination she wanted to go to.
Don't care anymore.
Just like this, she was sitting in the tent under the soft light, looking at the harvest of the afternoon with great interest.
[Chain Armor (Excellent)]
[Defense: Medium]
[Equipment requirements: Strength o, Agility 1o]
【Power+】
[The armor made of unknown materials and thin chains has a level of sophistication that would astonish even the most skilled blacksmith. However, due to the age, this armor is quite old and difficult to repair. 】
[Special effect: Reduce the hit damage you receive. 】
"I think the things mentioned in the description are more noteworthy than this special effect." Duan Qing sat down on the other side of the tent and pointed at the equipment in her hand.
"You mean, is this piece of equipment easily damaged?"
"Probably, but the quality is pretty good."
"Of course it's good!" the girl continued excitedly: "Something with added attributes and special effects should at least be of epic quality, right? We can actually buy it here, and the most important thing is... it only needs
8o Ebri coins!”
"...Why don't I feel like I'm getting any advantage at all?" Duan Qing covered his face, then looked at Xiao Hongchen on the other side and said, "And no one in our team can wear it."
"I won't wear it anyway." The latter immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Hey, I bought this thing for you! You still don't have a shirt..."
"This is my style! And...this armor is so ugly..."
The girl's angry screams sounded in the tent, and then a shirtless man was driven out, attracting side glances and snickers from others.
"Look, another guy has been kicked out by his girlfriend."
"No, no, no, I think he wanted to misbehave with his teammates, so he was beaten out..."
"How do you know? How many people do you know?"
"I don't know you, but that girl just came over to say hello... How could such a beautiful girl have a boyfriend like that!"
"Brother, you are hopeless..."
Ignoring the whispers around him, Mengzhu closed the curtain again, and then continued to check his harvest: "In that case, I will leave it to others. Maybe we can fish a tank or something for our adventure group.
.....”
[Adamantine dagger (excellent)]
[Weapon power: excellent]
[Equipment requirements: Strength 1o, Agility o]
[Strength +1, Agility +]
[It is made of fine metal mixed with some kind of fine gold. In addition to its sharp blade, it also has a hard blade, which is even hard enough to break the teeth of the most ferocious beasts in the world. 】
[Due to the scarcity of its production materials, items made of fine gold are rarely found in the world, and the craftsmen and skills to create such items have become increasingly rare. 】
"Although this dagger is very expensive and has no special effects, but..." Mengzhu hugged the dagger and looked like she was about to cry: "I can finally change my weapon!"
"Is it necessary to be so excited?" Duan Qing stood aside with a look of helplessness.
"This is what I earned with my own hard work." Mengzhu showed a happy smile: "You have good equipment, it is impossible to understand..."
"Good equipment is not necessary for fighting." Duan Qing immediately retorted: "Only those with good equipment will have a higher winning rate. With the development of virtual games now, there are almost no sure-win battles...
..."
"Hey." The girl squinted her eyes: "I know, master, you don't have to remind me all the time..."
"Hey, I don't mean that." Duan Qing waved his hand quickly: "Otherwise, I will give you my Phil dagger..."
"Why don't you give me Richard's one?"
"Uh..." Duan Qing scratched his head awkwardly: "That... is okay, but let me find a chance to try it first..."
"No! OK!" The girl reached out and grabbed the black dagger from Duan Qing's waist. She looked at it carefully for a while and then threw it back: "Forget it, but you have to remember what you said.
Ah, as an uncle, you have to keep your words..."
Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, then picked up the dagger on the ground.
[The Bite of the Black Snake (Epic)]
[Weapon power: excellent]
[Equipment requirements: Strength 15, Agility 1o]
[Strength +1, Agility +1]
[Special effect: Your fatal attack success rate is greatly increased. 】
[Special effect: Your stab has a certain chance of inflicting poison damage on the target. 】
[A black dagger made of unknown materials. Its blade contains highly toxic substances and has been corroded by countless blood over the past years, making it even more bloodthirsty. 】
[The holders of this sword eventually fell into bloodthirsty madness, until the last owner finally overcame the temptation it brought and sealed it away until today.]
"This sword..." Putting the sword away again, Duan Qing sighed helplessly. Thinking of the previous holder of this sword and the behavior of that sloppy uncle, he couldn't help but think.
That question I have been thinking about all the way here.
That Richard, what did he do before...
