After making a lot of assumptions and fictional reasoning, Sherlock finally came to the final step of customizing the character.
[Stephen Strange was born in a family of intelligent craftsmen in the East China Sea Empire. He showed his familiarity with numbers from an early age. As a boy, he collected herbs outside the city and sold them to doctors in the city. When he grew up, he helped the town defend against bandits.
, also showed a talent for engineering and machinery. These experiences deeply affected him, giving birth to a desire for power and wealth in his heart, which could not be satisfied by staying in his unchanged hometown.
】
【Become an adventurer and face your own destiny.】
【Think again.】
Um……
Sherlock looked down at a 45-degree angle at the "incarnation" who was bidding farewell to his parents and younger siblings, and had grown into the tall and thin figure in the preview, but hesitated to speak.
Let’s not mention the seemingly messy growth experience that can fully increase intelligence. This last item, which does not have any attributes attached, “the reason for leaving hometown”, is the highlight of the “character experience”.
"Desire for power and wealth" is already the most reasonable one. Other "pain of broken love", "hobby for adventure" and "being kicked out of the family because he refused to inherit the family business" are more or less the same.
I don't respect this war-torn era. As for "personal grudges", there is no problem. But specifically stating that a lord with "-100" relations will be added to the selected country is simply making myself uncomfortable.
Then...face your fate head on.
As Sherlock "clicked" to confirm, the familiar town and family disappeared, Strange turned around and stepped onto a carriage that suddenly appeared, and the carriage merged with an advancing caravan.
[You cleverly persuaded a passing caravan to take you to the nearest big city, and the fare was replaced by repairing the vehicle and helping settle accounts. 】
Hmm? Instead of saying "your avatar", just say "you"?
After Strange got into the car, the convoy began to accelerate. It passed through several villages and towns along the way and had a brief battle with a group of horse-riding marauders, during which Sherlock was still not allowed to take direct control.
[Your pharmacological knowledge helped save the lives of several injured caravan guards. The caravan leader Kang generously gave you 1,000 beli and invited you to officially join the caravan. You said you need to consider it. 】
No choice? It seems this caravan is doomed.
Even without reasoning, it can be seen that the group of equestrian robbers who were driven away did not give up, and there were sporadic spies following them. However, even if it could remind the caravan leader, it would be useless, because the robbers were everywhere.
All.
Boom boom boom——
As if to confirm Sherlock's guess, when the sun set again and the caravan was setting up camp, with the sound of horse hooves that made the stones on the ground jump, a large number of horse-riding robbers came galloping over, and just as they were about to
When the camp was attacked, the entire scene froze, and then some battle scenes and fragments flashed continuously.
[The plunderers raided the caravan you were in. The caravan guards were outnumbered and fled in all directions. Fortunately, the plunderers were busy robbing property and not many bandits noticed you. You——]
[Pick up a knife and fight your way out of the encirclement (melee weapon +10)]
[Use bows and arrows to destroy the gangsters patrolling the perimeter (range weapons +10)]
[Grab a horse and escape with all your strength, ignoring the attack (Ride +10)]
[Use the caravan’s belongings to attract the attention of searchers (tactics +10)]
[Persuade a fleeing caravan guard to take you with him. (Persuasion +10)]
As before, whenever Sherlock focuses his attention on one of the options, Strange will appear in the corresponding scene and perform the corresponding action according to the description of that option.
Without adding attributes, just choose the one that looks the most handsome.
Following Sherlock's "click to confirm", Strange picked up a dagger from a fallen guard nearby, found a direction with fewer robbers and rushed out. Two robbers noticed him and surrounded him.
He came up, but one of them was killed by him, and he managed to escape after injuring another.
This is actually quite unreasonable. After all, Mr. Strange has been growing up intellectually since he was a child. How could he suddenly kill people?
But since this is the opening scene, I won’t say anything else.
After successfully escaping from the battlefield, Sherlock's perspective dropped again, from "looking down" to "following", watching Strange escape all the way and hiding in the woods where it was difficult for the mounted marauders to travel.
Just when Sherlock thought he was finally about to officially enter the world, Strange encountered an injured old man lying on the ground in the woods who looked like a scholar.
[After you successfully escaped, you met an imperial scholar who you had met several times in the caravan. He always mysteriously said that he had some earth-shattering secret, but after he used this secret as an excuse to deceive
After a few drinks, no one took his words seriously anymore.】
【He was seriously injured, you——】
[Attempt treatment (requires 'first aid') (red)]
[Listen to last words (requires ‘persuasion’) (green)]
【Nothing can be done.】
"Mr. Seager," Strange knelt down in front of the scholar after Sherlock chose the second option: "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
The voice of this incarnation is indeed somewhat similar to my own. Maybe I will have this voice as an adult.
Sherlock thought while watching the plot.
"I have an... earth-shattering secret..." Scholar Sig said intermittently: "I originally wanted to sell it for a good price, but now, I can only give it to you..."
"...What is that?" Strange seemed hesitant to speak.
"That is a... treasure called [Certificate of Overlord]... whoever gets it will become the overlord of a party..." Scholar Sig took out a roll of blood-stained parchment from his pocket: "And this
…It’s a treasure map to its location…”
This is unreasonable. If there is such a thing, even if it is a treasure map——
"Fragments of..."
All right.
"So, what do you mean?" Strange tried to ask.
"I saw... the way you fought your way out of the siege..." Scholar Sig's voice gradually lowered: "You are qualified to become the overlord... please... don't let it... never see the light of day..."
"I promise you." Strange took the parchment.
"..." Scholar Sig's hand dropped.
Almost at the same time, Sherlock gained control of Strange's body.
[After a tragic battle, you are forced to face this cruel world before you are ready.]
[But you have not forgotten your original intention of leaving your hometown, and no one can stop your pursuit of power and wealth.]
【Accept mission: Build a family.】
[You have obtained 'Treasure Map Fragments (1/3)'. Collect any three fragments to piece together a complete treasure map. If you are confident that you can find the treasure by yourself, you can also choose to sell it.
】
[Accept the task: Put together the treasure map.]
"..." Sherlock, no, Strange's eyes turned to the battlefield in the distance.
Let’s start looking for the first pot of gold from there.
