Yeager's face changed color as he looked at the players swarming out of various teleportation points like locusts.
"They're like a plague, a real plague"
The speaker was a Templar warrior disguised as a caravan guard. This warrior master was known for his perseverance and courage. Even when facing a giant dragon, he was not like this now. There was fear in his eyes and a look of inexplicable shock on his face.
"Everyone go out and find out more information."
The leader of the caravan, the high priest, said, "Look more, talk less, don't do anything, and come back at noon."
Yeager took the mission and went out. As the earldom of Walter Xia, an earl who appeared from nowhere, it has a larger territory, a more prosperous market and more than other viscounts and earldoms... player.
Yes, these locusts label themselves as 'players', as if their lives are just a game.
According to Yeager's observation, they also play their own bodies with a game mentality. Because they are undead, they are not afraid of death. As long as the magic effect that is constant in the air is there (Magic Network), he can die unlimited times. As for "Resurrection", it can be seen that in order to deal with this kind of locusts, the first thing to deal with is this magical effect.
But it is not easy to deal with this kind of magic effect. Who knows the magic level 5, which is already a very high level of magic in the civilized world, but you can't even touch the door frame of this magic effect. I guess it is at least level 6, probably level 7. .
"It's different, it's different!"
Recalling that time, the accompanying mage danced crazily and shouted nervously: "Even if it is only 6th level, it cannot be treated as a simple 6th level. It's like, like...ah, I can't understand, I can't describe it. , I can’t even understand it.”
Since then, this 70-year-old accompanying mage has fallen into huge self-doubt. He doubts whether the occult knowledge he has learned in the past and has been immersed in all his life is correct. He often says nervously, "When he comes, he will be there." Here, I saw, he is omnipresent and omnipotent...
Omnipresent and omnipotent?
Did he mean that the Norman Grand Duke had almost godlike power?
That's ridiculous.
How can ordinary things reach the sacred level? This goes against basic common sense. Even if the magic effect is so miraculous, it is just magical.
These locusts only have enough numbers, are highly intelligent, and...forget it, let's leave these to the real big shots to deal with.
Walking on the street in the safe zone, players coming and going would stop to look at him. Yeager knew that they were trying to take a 'task' from him. The task was probably a kind of reward. After completing it, he would receive money and magic. Rewards such as props and experience.
It was easy to understand before, but he only recently understood this experience.
Experience is probably something similar to the accumulation of combat experience, magic knowledge, and mysticism, which can help these locusts accelerate their growth.
I have to say that this is a genius design idea. The Norman Grand Duke summoned such a large number of alien souls, and with this simple 'task', he gathered them together and organized them very effectively. , allowing them to move in the direction he wants.
In the square, there are many 'NPCs' who can issue tasks. Yeager understands that he is also a kind of 'NPC'. 'NPC' probably refers to the aboriginal people of Canaan. In addition to those soulless flesh and blood puppets, there are also some who have taken refuge in Nuo. The professionals of the Grand Duke of Manchester are also acting as so-called 'NPCs'.
The players seem to be able to tell the difference between different 'NPCs' somewhere. They obviously do not fit into the category that can issue tasks. From the curious and slightly malicious eyes of the locusts, Yeager knows that he and the place where he is
In such a sea of locusts, the caravan is as conspicuous as a firelight in the dark night.
Those who accept tasks, those who hand in tasks, those who form teams, those who ask for help, those who buy things, those who sell things, those who argue, those who laugh, those who argue, those who curse... You can't see such a "lively" thing in the civilized world.
In this scene, even if they were undead, Yeager felt a vitality from these locusts that other creatures did not have.
"This is the vitality of the soul!"
Recalling the high priest's solemn evaluation, "Each one of them, even the weakest one, is far more than a free citizen with noble character."
In fact, it's more than that.
Jaeger would like to say that it is actually better than the average professional.
Think about how scary it is. Countless professionals with such soul activity have the potential to become professionals who master supernatural powers. It is no wonder that they can easily learn and master all kinds of difficult occult knowledge and skills.
This is an army of tens of millions of professionals.
In terms of strength on paper alone, this Norman Grand Duke already has the power to fight the entire civilized world. Of course, this is without high-end combat power.
But how long can the advantage in high-end combat power be maintained?
Jaeger was skeptical.
He looked at a group of tall, strong locusts with gorgeous cloaks walking past the square. From the style of the cloaks, it could be seen that they were the fourth-level professions of the locusts. What kind of world-shaking thing was this?
The caravan had privately evaluated this so-called shocking event.
The conclusion drawn is probably similar to that of a real level 4 professional.
This is so terrible.
Level 4 professionals are backbone figures in that principality and are very rare existences, but here, they are actually mass-produced?
Given time, it is not impossible to become a level 5 profession, a level 6 profession, or even a level 7 major profession.
The more he learned about it, the more worried Yeager became. His instinct made him feel a huge threat. He wondered if the church was raising a tiger to threaten such a dangerous and alien force. If he didn't destroy it before it grew up, he would wait for it.
When you really grow up, can you still cope with it?
"We still have the Lord!"
The high priest refuted his idea, "The Lord is omnipotent. You can see the present, but the Lord sees the future. Don't worry, Jaeger, the power on paper cannot withstand a little flame. In the Lord
Under its power, no matter how powerful a mortal creature is, it is just a slightly stronger ant."
Yes, there is also the Lord.
There are gods and a system of gods that dominates everything. Even if the Norman Grand Duke advances to legend, he is just a slightly stronger ant.
"Ah, do we know this beautiful lady?"
Jaeger stopped a player's way, smiled and asked politely.
Zhu Yuting stared at the red-rimmed NPC in front of her, recalled for a moment, and said with a friendly smile: "It's you, you have visited my stall before."
"It's an honor to see you again. How is your business? Is it over?"
"I am a player now, and I can only return to my old profession after level 5."
"Level 5? How can I help you?"
"You can't send me a mission."
"Who says it can't be done?"
"Well?"
Jaeger took out a shiny little thing, a storage ring, "My commission is private, just for the two of us, how about it?"
"You...you talk first."
"It's very simple. I just want to accompany you for a while until you reach... uh, level 5. How about level 5? At level 5, you can find a job and become professionals, right?"
"Is it that simple?"
"Of course, you have to answer some of my questions truthfully."
"First of all, let me make it clear that some of the questions are not that I won't answer you, but that they are prohibited by the system and contain sensitive words. Just say I said it and you won't be able to hear it."
"Then let's avoid sensitive words and say something less sensitive."
"All right."
A storage ring.
I was reluctant to buy it before.
After that, Yeager followed Zhu Yuting, going from NPC to NPC to receive tasks. After completing the tasks, he went to various stores to buy supplies.
"This is a bandage, a Class B consumable. Can't you see it? Of course, it is not a physical object. It belongs to the recovery state given to the player by the system."
"The efficiency can be maximized when the tasks are full. When you go to one place to kill monsters, you can also complete all the tasks in adjacent places. This saves you running back and forth and wasting time."
"You have to go to the training camp for this. If I'm preparing to take up a job as a ranger, I have to go to the training camp to practice archery specialization and eagle eye specialization. Otherwise, even if I reach level 5, I won't be able to take up the job."
"Training camp... how to explain it? It can be understood as a virtual task scenario of the system, in which various actual combat environments can be simulated to exercise corresponding abilities... Actual combat environments are not available all the time, and neither easy nor difficult can be adjusted.
, the training camp is different. It can provide special and targeted training for some difficult-to-overcome points to quickly master a certain skill and possess a certain quality."
"Players are not all based on level and combat power. For example, I don't like to fight and kill. I plan to be a casual player. But no matter what kind of player I am, I must pass the threshold of level 5 for employment, otherwise there will be many
None of the system functions can be used. Besides, without the corresponding level and combat power, even if you are a life and leisure player, there will be a lot of inconvenience. If it is not so troublesome, you can just upgrade it by the way, but the focus is not on this."
"Of course, that place doesn't require money. It's hard to move without money..."
While talking, he had reached the level 1 slime dungeon refresh scene, where Yeager could not go in. Zhu Yuting asked him to wait outside for two hours. There were three tasks inside, and he would be almost upgraded to level 2 after completing them.
.
…
In the evening, Yeager came back from Zhu Yuting, who had been promoted to level 3. In the inn, all the other companions of the caravan had returned. There was a bonfire burning in the yard, and the high priest was leading everyone to do evening classes.
After the evening classes, the high priest first set up a silent barrier and then asked them to talk about their gains from the day.
"7 tests, what is 7 tests?"
"Can it be understood as the seventh time to summon souls from another world on a large scale?"
"should be"
"I think so too"
"So six times before?"
"What is the national uniform?"
"The predecessor of the national service should be the cooperation between the kingdom of another world and the Grand Duke of Normandy. In the name of the kingdom or the royal family, he led the people of the kingdom from other worlds to serve the Duke of Normandy? Later it was changed to Earl Walter Summer.
Leader, it should be that the Norman Grand Duke has digested or tamed the power of the royal family from another world and achieved the stability of the internal power structure?"
"Well, the viscounties we passed before were obviously... poorer than the Earl of Walter Xia? It means that this Earl of Walter Xia should be a big country in another world, maybe even an empire."
"It is worth noting that... the players in Earl Walter Xia's territory are the most 'arrogant'. I guess that this alien empire may not have any gods to believe in."
“How to survive in the world without faith?”
"Perhaps there is no true god in another world? I have noticed this more than once, that is, these visitors from other worlds lack the due respect for gods."
"Okay, let's not consider these things for now and continue talking about your findings."
"The number of...players in the Earl of Walter Summer alone exceeds 10 million. This is 10 million. Ten million can...be employed, that is, the number of professionals. All of Canaan, plus Lost
Is there a million professionals in this plane?"
"Quantity doesn't mean anything."
"Can……"
"Okay, Jaeger, tell me what you found."
Yeager stared at the blazing bonfire, with thousands of words coming to his lips, but found that there was nothing to say.
There weren't many touches to him today. Most of them confirmed previous observations and speculations. But because of this, it gave him a long-lasting, not so strong but better than long... shake.
Yes, it is shaking.
From an ordinary player, from an alien soul who used to be a tourist and is now a player, or even from a young female civilian...
"My lord, start a war with the Grand Duchy of Normandy immediately, before it launches a world-destroying plague..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!", the high priest laughed, "Are you frightened by what is in front of you? Let me tell you, we still want to spread the glory of the gods to other worlds."
"Yes, there are so many lost lambs in the other world, but there is no true god to believe in. It's so pitiful. We have to rescue them." The accompanying noble knight, a rough and strong man with a beard, looked obscene.
smiled.
"Land, gold, wealth, beauties... Faith belongs to my Lord, and all the rest belongs to us... Amen!"
"Amen!"
Yeager was very frustrated. Isn't arrogance deep in the bones of these people?
"It's time to go to the so-called public server tomorrow to join other teams and meet our Lord the Grand Duke!"
The high priest felt that he had understood the details of his opponent, and he was full of ambition and confidence and made the decision to meet with his opponent for a final showdown.
At the same time, one of the tens of thousands of thinking sparks in the magic network suddenly noticed that a certain string had been touched, so several sparks gathered together and turned into an electric current, surging in Bei Gaoyang's brain.
inside.
Bei Gaoyang froze the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head, and looked thoughtfully in a direction, "Is this coming soon?"
It's time too.
In fact, it is an unexpected blessing that it has been postponed until now.
Then, the pen in his hand continued to fall, and he wrote a famous saying on the dynamically changing white paper: "Let the storm come more violently!"
