[About death penalty]: The death penalty in Canaan is to return to zero upon death. If no one resurrects you within 30 minutes of death, and there is no Tear Angel Stone to help you resurrect, then it will be judged as death at zero. (Novice players, regardless of whether they are in the third or fourth month.
If you enter the game once or again after rebirth, you will get five Tear Angel Stones. In addition, resurrection can only produce effects on the same character three times per day.)
[About the problem of equipment dropping after death]: When the player dies, there is a 30% chance of dropping 2 pieces of equipment (including those in the backpack and on the body). If no one is resurrected 30 minutes after death, then when the body disappears (that is, the character
When the character disappears), 3 more pieces of equipment (on the body) will be dropped. (After the old character disappears, the newly created character can inherit the 'legacy' after completing the procedures.)
[About skills and expertise]: This is a bit troublesome to explain, but you can understand it this way. Skills represent a skilled technology (such as riding, forging documents, crafts, performance, concentration, etc.), while expertise is similar to a
Special abilities (such as rapid shooting, health, dodge, blind fighting, magic instant casting, etc.) can probably be understood this way, but it does not mean that this is correct... Well, let's introduce it for the sake of convenience. (There are also 10 levels in Canaan.
The special abilities and fighting skills that can be obtained in the future (such as the Swordsmith's Qi Slash) are specially set by me in order to balance the imbalance between warrior professions and spellcasting professions in the later period.)
[About familiars and mounts]: Many friends have asked about familiars and paladin mounts. In Canaan, familiars and mounts can only be obtained through special tasks. Mages and warlocks need level 5 to perform familiar tasks, while paladin requires special tasks.
You need level 10 to do the mount mission. (Just a reminder, the protagonist needs two volumes to do the familiar mission.)
(PS: Regarding the issue of mages during the closed beta, think about it, the closed beta itself only lasts less than a month. Is it impossible for the official to allow mage players to pass the 'employment' training with peace of mind? So mages do not need to be employed during the closed beta.
Training, in addition, in fact, every occupation has on-the-job training, it’s just a matter of the length of time required and the difficulty of the training.)

As everyone can see, the Dinakat underground auction house is built in a huge crystal. The crystal is carved into a hollow state. The surrounding seats and the VIP room above are all made by crystal craftsmen.
Hands, all in all, this is a world of light and shadow. However, this kind of spectacle only appears in games. In reality, no matter how cheap the crystals in that world are, probably no one can design such a magnificent underground palace.
The players who had been here several times sat calmly in their own seats, showing a superior smile, and looked at the excited players who came here for the first time with a mocking expression. But they never thought about it.
The first time I came to this 'Crystal City', it was the same.
On the other side, in the shadows where light cannot shine, a team of people is secretly carrying out their mission.
Near a natural crystal cave below the Dinakar auction house, two NPC mercenaries no higher than level 7 were lazily on guard. In their eyes, those arrogant and arrogant players who thought they were superior to others were really no threat.
One of the mercenaries lit his pipe and said to the other mercenary: "Hey, boss, he... huh?" He suddenly became alert, tilted his head and looked towards a shadow-shrouded place not far away. The other mercenary
Bing turned back curiously, but they could see nothing but darkness.
"System prompt: You are affected by the effect of silence!"
The gentle voice of the system prompts sounded like thunder to the NPC mercenary. Years of experience made him subconsciously pull out the scimitar from his waist, and then half-crouched down. However, even so, the long arrows that followed in the darkness still penetrated.
His lungs were damaged, and he coughed without making any sound. The force of the arrow pushed him to the ground, killing 22 points of life. He raised his head in horror and saw his NPC partner looking at him with wide eyes.
, the mouth opens and closes, but no sound comes out.
"System prompt: The enemy's backstab effect is activated, and you receive 27 damage!"
"System prompt: The enemy's sneak attack effect is activated, and you receive 6 damage!"
"System prompt: You are dead!"
…………
Xiao Fen clapped his hands gently and watched as the wrought iron and wild stones dragged the two corpses into the dark shadows. The short battle just now did not attract anyone's attention, thanks to the noise of the players above.
"Xue, increase my life limit, and I'll cast a seventh-level group invisibility spell."
Quiet Xue nodded, and silently added an assistance spell and a tenacity spell for Xiao Fen.
"Listen up, everyone." Xiao Fen looked at his condition with satisfaction, and then said to everyone, "We are not here to fight. We should try to avoid fights that can be avoided. After a while, I will use group invisibility to let everyone sneak in together.
But you have to make sure not to make any noise, okay?"
Everyone nodded, only Wrought Iron snorted dissatisfiedly, as he said, fighting, drinking, and eating are his three major pleasures in life, and the others must be put on the sidelines.
Xiao Fen gave him a warning look, and then began to cast this seventh-level arcane spell...
Walking along the crystal cave, the defense of the auction house became tighter. In the light, teams of experienced mercenaries were patrolling. In the dark, enemies such as thieves were hidden in almost every crystal gap. This made
Xiao Fen became more confident in himself. Such a tight defense must be protecting something important.
In order not to make any noise, everyone walked slowly, leaning together and slowly squirming forward. Every six minutes, they hid in a surveillance corner and re-cast the group invisibility technique (Xiao Fen was at level 6, the group invisibility technique was only
It can last for six minutes.), if you really can't find a defensive blind spot, you can only rely on the 'silence spell' and assassination to solve a hidden sentry point and artificially create a defensive blind spot.
Since casting a group invisibility spell requires paying 32 points of life, Serenity Snow's divine spells are far unable to keep up with the demand for treatment. As a result, a large number of expensive healing potions were drank by Xiao Fen like boiled water, and a large number of gold coins were poured into his stomach like running water.
(Canaan Chinese medicine is not as expensive as DND medicine, but it is not cheap either. A bottle of healing potion that restores 10 points of life costs 20 GP, which is 200 yuan in reality.)
About 30 minutes later, everyone finally broke away from the tight defense area and walked through the crystal corridor to an underground building. This building was similar to a prison. There were countless small cells blocked by wooden fences on both sides of a long stone walkway.
The room was pitch dark, and you could vaguely see the bright spots like stars in the darkness. When everyone took a closer look, they were stunned. It turned out that the bright spots were actually pairs of eyes in the darkness.
A pair of bright but lifeless eyes, a pair of eyes with a numb look.
These are slaves, a group of poor people who don’t even have freedom. Xiao Fen and others living in modern times simply cannot understand this kind of pain and despair hidden under numbness. In fact, Canaan, a game with super authenticity, is
From the side, it gives people living in modern times the opportunity to look back and experience the dark scene of mankind thousands of years ago.
The men were half-clothed and as skinny as wood, some lying on the side like skeletons, breathing heavily like dying animals. The strong slaves locked their bodies with thick iron chains to prevent them from being exposed.
To hurt someone...
Those beautiful women were locked together with blank expressions... In Xiao Fen's impression, such beautiful girls should be treated like all beautiful things, breathing the freshest air in Canaan and bringing them with them.
Smiling the happiest smile, curling up in the arms of her lover and listening to the whispers from her lover, instead of being like this now - her fair skin covered with traces of abuse, her mouth with faint bloodstains, her eyes dull, and her expression numb, as if
Goods for sale are generally...
But what he didn't know was that these women themselves were like goods for sale, and those who bought them were just the great nobles and great lords... (This paragraph about the dark historical background in Canaan only provides players with a side experience.
, such as slave trading, etc. are only conducted between NPCs. Players have the right to watch or stop it, but they cannot participate, otherwise the game company will be sued.)
It was a bit hard for Xiao Fen to imagine how a living person could be associated with words such as 'talking tools', 'cargo' and 'livestock', but it was just hard for him to imagine, and there was absolutely no sign of anger. In his eyes,
, this is a game, players are both participants and bystanders, no matter how real the game is, NPPC, players are always players, and the intersection between the two is limited to where the interests of the players are involved.
If he encountered the slave trade in reality, he might find a way to stop it, but in the game, since he did not accept the task of "rescuing the slaves", there was no need for him to be stupid.
Xiao Fen and Half Apple turned their heads and tried not to look at the slaves on both sides. Although they always felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they knew what was important and what was secondary. Perhaps these slaves were originally designed by the designer for this task.
Trap, if someone is not calm enough and rushes to rescue these slaves, then his mission may be ruined.
They have spent recent years playing the game for the task of treasure. Neither Xiao Fen nor Half Apple will allow the task to fail due to their own mistakes in judgment.
The little girl was shaking violently, her anger was rising steadily, and she even felt a heavy sense of guilt and shame in her heart. As a paladin, she was indifferent to such absolutely dark activities, which was undoubtedly worthy of her title.
It is the greatest irony.
Ke'er was a little worried. Although she couldn't bear it, she was calmer than the little girl. What she was worried about was that the little girl wouldn't be able to bear it.
Quiet Xue gently held the little girl's tight little hand, and whispered in the little girl's ear in a tone that was just a whisper: "Sister, justice does not mean impulsiveness and recklessness."
The heavy breathing of the surrounding slaves overwhelmed the whispers, and Xue's soft words did not arouse the guard's alertness.
Sophia nodded, her sapphire eyes full of anger, and her white teeth bit her lower lip until it turned pale and bloodless.
"But...but...what will happen to them?" The little girl looked at those poor women worriedly.
"No matter what they do, this is just a game. What you see... happened thousands of years ago. This kind of behavior no longer exists in this society. Little girl, this is just a game. The designer's intention
It makes you experience this darkness, and then reflect on the hard-won life you have now. According to our words, it is called remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet." Half Apple explained.
Xiao Fen nodded and said: "Yes, when the treasure mission is completed... we promise you that we will come to take over the mission of rescuing the slaves, but not now, you have to know... Originally we were walking a tightrope now.
, if you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes... let alone extraneous problems."
"Yeah." The little girl nodded her head, but then she remembered something and said angrily: "Why were you so mean to me outside just now, you bad guy!"
Xiao Fen was stunned, secretly thinking that it was really difficult for villains and women to raise children.
Just when everyone was relaxing, our lovely Mr. Dwarf suddenly fell to the floor with a 'pop' sound, and the heavy impact sound spread far into the depths of darkness. However, this was not counted. Almost immediately, the dwarf
The unique loud voice resounded throughout the underground - "Damn it! Who put such a big stone here! Bastard!" Angry roars echoed in the dark corridor...
Xiao Fen felt a 'boom' explode in his head, and he seemed to let out a sigh that was close to despair and helplessness from his chest.
"You idiot!" the crowd shouted angrily.
The shocking noise alerted almost all the auction house guards, and groups of mercenaries and thieves swarmed towards them. A fierce fight was inevitable.
(PS: The slave trade in Canaan is only part of the dark side of the game background. Players can experience the other side of Canaan from this background, but of course, they must not participate in it.)
