Chapter One Thousand and Four: Lake Town
Murong Xiaotian ran north and soon arrived at Lake Town. Sure enough, the barber said it was right. It was not that simple. It was still far away that people could already see the moving figures of Lake Town.
Lake Town has a special geographical location, with high mountains on the east and west sides. In fact, Lake Town is the only passage between the mountains on the east and west sides.
The town goes south, the town goes north, or the town goes north, and the town goes south, is the only passage from Murong Xiaotian to the north to the imperial capital of the Great Wind Empire.
Of course, you can also go around from Stone City, and the distance will be far.
In fact, this is only for ordinary people. For people with relatively high martial arts cultivation in the ancient continent, it is not difficult to cross the mountains on both sides.
The mountains are not yet at that level that is unattainable.
As for Murong Xiaotian, it is actually even simpler. It is not difficult to release the "Sky Eagle" and fly over from Lake Town.
However, he didn't want to do that. He really wanted to see what the mercenary group in the ancient continent looked like?
In the eyes of the ancient mainland people, in this fantasy world, each of them is the master of this world, and the player Murong Xiaotian is a real outsider.
But Murong Xiaotian doesn’t think so. What’s wrong with the ancient continent? What’s wrong with the fantasy world? Isn’t it still an inseparable part of "The Way of Heaven"?
Therefore, in his eyes, people from the ancient continent are not NPCs?
However, the NPC here is more free and humane, and there is no constraint on the NPC system city responsibilities like the conventional continent of "Heavenly Way" and the Chinese mainland game area.
Within the system city, players are the masters, npc is the supporting role, and they serve players. Even if "The Way of Heaven" and "Fate" are very different, they are the development of players and npcs on the dual-line; for example, the plot evolution between the Xiangye Shadow Organization and the system's power Npc forces, in the end, they still have to integrate into the power of players.
Even the player's joining can influence the direction of NPC.
If players are all inclined to the Night Shadow Organization, can the system's NPC main city forces win? No matter how awesome they are, they can't compete with tens of millions of players, right?
Therefore, players are the main players and npc is the auxiliary.
But it is the same in the ancient continent. They have their own stories, their own teams, empires, and their own mystery that is not known to outsiders.
They determine the direction of the world and the division of power, and the evolution of vicissitudes of life.
The most awesome thing is that there are no rules like system cities!
"That's the past!" Murong Xiaotian sneered in disdain.
From Tang Shi's mouth, he already knew some things about the God of War Contract. Although he didn't know very much, based on his intuition, Murong Xiaotian believed that this God of War Contract was likely to have the ability to communicate with each other from the Chinese continent to the ancient continent.
Although it is not certain that the scope of application of this round-trip travel is applicable, at least it is very likely that you can walk back and forth by yourself.
Damn it, it’s not a brag. As long as you can freely travel between the Chinese continent and the ancient continent, even if you are alone, you must let the ancient continent shake and the ancient continent run according to your wishes.
In a word, I am the master of this world, and everything is up to me.
What is independent development? NPC free battle for hegemony, no way!
Then, Murong Xiaotian naturally wanted to learn more about the world of the ancient continent. Not to mention that there have been many players and mercenaries, and NPC mercenaries are really rare.
Lonely, Murong Xiaotian walked towards the entrance of the town. Obviously, the entrance of the town was blocked by someone. Ten people were placed on the left and right sides, guarding the south entrance of Lake Town.
When he walked up to him, Murong Xiaotian discovered that the NPC mercenary group of the ancient continent was really different from the player mercenary group. He was completely dressed in uniform, with black clothes inlaid with white edges, and a vigorous and fiery eagle embroidered on the chest of the clothes.
"Fire Eagle Mercenary Group?" Murong Xiaotian said inwardly.
The Fire Eagle Mercenary Group and the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group start a war here. The Demon Wolf Mercenary Group cannot have the Fire Eagle logo embroidered on its clothes, right? It’s almost the same if you are sick.
On the upper left side of the fire eagle logo in the clothes, there is also the word Wu embroidered on the chest, which is a common sense symbol of martial arts practice in ancient continents. The word Wu embroidered with a very small star icon; Murong Xiaotian also heard from Tang Shi that a star represents the ranks of martial arts practice.
The highest nine stars represent the nine sects. If you reach the 10 sect, it will be a moon mark, and 11 sects are a moon and a star, and so on.
At present, the highest rank of the ancient continent is thirty, which is the three moon marks.
However, there are very few people in the ancient continent who can reach the thirty stages of strength, and there are not many people. It seems that only the four ultimate professional groups in the ancient continent can have such people.
In fact, according to Tang poetry, not martial arts practitioners in ancient mainland would show their level of practice. Many people, especially the ultimate masters, would not do this; nowadays, the uniform signs like the Fire Eagle Mercenary Group are rare.
The ten people in front of them marked the martial arts cultivation level between two and four stars on their chests. Obviously, they were all martial arts practitioners from the second to fourth stages of the ancient continent. Only those who stood in the innermost part and were slightly not in parallel with the other nine people were five stars, and they were the only five-stage martial arts practitioners among the ten people.
The edges of his clothes were different from those of others. The others were black and white, and he was inlaid with purple. Based on experience, Murong Xiaotian could be sure that it was a display of his position, which showed that this person's position in the Fire Eagle Mercenary Group was higher than the other nine people.
All ten people stood there majestic and straight. From the momentum and uniform dress, Murong Xiaotian could know that the Fire Eagle Mercenary Group was disciplined, had rules and orderly, and such a mercenary group would naturally not be weak in combat power.
It's no wonder that it has become the largest mercenary group in the ancient continent.
In fact, the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group is not inferior to the Fire Eagle Mercenary Group. The strength of these two mercenary groups should be equal. As for other mercenary groups, there is a little difference.
This is why Murong Xiaotian is a little strange. Two mercenary groups with equal strength fight, killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 to themselves. After this battle, they were all killed and injured? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for other mercenary groups?
This principle cannot be unknown to the Fire Eagle and the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the Fire Eagle and the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group have seemed to have reached an invisible tacit understanding, without interfering with each other or provoking each other.
But now it is strange to fight.
"Stop the person coming! The passage of Lake Town is temporarily prohibited, please go another way!" A strong man standing in front reached out and blocked Murong Xiaotian's way.
