Act II Sophie's World

Act 2 Sophie's World()

Although this house is old, it is spotless. The original owner took good care of it——

Sophie raised her head and saw half of the skeleton that she had pushed away and fell to the ground. A pile of white bones lay there quietly. Brando's counterattack before he died was the only damage to these undead scouts. Su

Fei knew that the skeleton soldiers did lack intelligence, but it was completely different when there was a corpse witch behind them. The mistake in judgment actually had nothing to do with the young man, because Brando didn't know all this at all.

In peaceful times, not many people know this.

The oil painting cut from it lay flat on the ground, and the cold sword of the skeleton soldier fell not far away, which made Sophie's eyes shrink slightly - Madara seemed to be decisively planning to attack the scout.

As soon as you evacuate, attack immediately without having to clean up the battlefield.

But this is consistent with his memory of history.

kindness?

Sophie suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly, and his eyes stayed on the cut oil painting. He was not mistaken, there was clearly an interlayer on the cut plane of the frame.

Wait, an ancestral oil painting? Sophie suddenly remembered, could this be the famous Butcher's oil painting?

He immediately walked over with difficulty holding on to the handrail, and at the same time listened vigilantly to the movements around him. Sophie knew that the person who killed Brando should be the lowest level corpse witch - although it was the lowest level, it could not deal with ordinary people.

More than enough.

In the 'game', low-level corpse witches can perform some low-level black magic, and can also summon skeletons and zombies from cemeteries in nearby areas. They are cunning by nature and are used to sneak attacks. They are a huge threat to those who do not understand them.

.

But Sophie is different, because I'm afraid he knows the other person better than the other person himself——

He buried his body, pulled open the oil painting's shelf with both hands, and a ring rolled out from it with a clang. At this moment, he couldn't help but take a breath. The shape of this ring was too familiar to him: it was made of silver.

The ring glows slightly in the dark. In addition to its general ring-shaped appearance, it has a wind queen holy pattern on the central surface.

Such patterns are not common in southern Eruin.

This is the national emblem of Sant'Orso of the North -

Sophie carefully wiped the ring with her thumb. This was the famous Ring of the Wind Queen, the reward of the 'Butch's Oil Painting' mission. However, this mission disappeared in the next version. Finally, she knew and completed this

There are also very few people on the mission.

Sophie is not one of them. He has just heard this story. It is said that this ring is a fake of the token of Dilut, one of the Four Saints. But how could Brando's grandfather have this thing?

The effect of the Wind Queen's Ring in the game is dexterity +1, and it consumes energy to send out wind bombs to attack enemies in front. In the game, it absorbs a little energy in ten minutes, but I don't know if it is the same here.

As he looked at the ring, his heart was pounding for a while, and he even forgot about the dangers around him. The appearance of the ring confirmed his guess from the side, and this world was exactly the one he was familiar with.

Sophie couldn't help but let out a long breath. He was a little worried about gain and loss at the moment, but after hesitating, he slowly put the ring on his index finger - the magic ring would only work if it was worn on the index finger and thumb.

Woenze, the area between the index finger and thumb is called the "mysterious realm" by the witches of Tallan. They believe that this is the center where the human body's magic gathers, and most magic gestures are evolved from here.

But for Sophie, this is just a subconscious behavior restricted by the rules of the game, nothing more.

‘Clang——!’

He was just in the process of actually producing the effect of the ring, but then a loud noise from the direction of the first floor suddenly made him turn around.

Sophie was startled and immediately became alert. This might be the sound made by the undead - but even if it wasn't, it would still attract enemies from outside. He immediately threw away the oil painting in his hand without caring about others, and subconsciously moved back and pressed against the wall.

, and then carefully stared at the hall below.

He immediately saw a sneaky figure.

It was a girl wearing a simple leather dress who carefully took it out from underneath. She looked left and right, looking a little nervous - but she didn't pay attention to the top of her head. The girl held it tightly with both hands.

A masonry hammer - it looks a bit laborious, but it looks like she is looking for something.

Sophie couldn't help but sigh.

He coughed, the sound was not loud, but it seemed extremely loud in this empty room——

The girl was obviously startled. She turned around suddenly, her face turned pale. But to be fair, this girl could be considered a beauty. Her long chestnut-colored hair was tied up behind her head. She seemed dignified, but as flat as jade.

A pair of slender eyes under his forehead always make people feel charming; the tip of his eyebrows is slightly raised, his eyes are clear and nervous, and his nose is straight and straight. You can tell at a glance that he is a person with an extremely independent personality.

She has a unique temperament, but she is definitely not a lady. At least you have seen a girl holding a masonry hammer tightly in both hands, with a leather skirt hanging like a cowhide bag similar to those of businessmen in the south. You are also very fond of it.

It is hard to believe that this is a young lady with excellent family background.

The girl suddenly saw Sophie and relaxed immediately. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but pat her chest, with a beautiful smile on her face: "It's you, Brando, scare me."

Jumping."

"Miss Roman, how did you get in?" Sophie couldn't help but have a headache when she saw this girl.

This is the girl that Brando has always admired. She lives with her aunt in the house opposite. She often has some weird dreams, such as thinking about running out into the outside world and becoming a businessman all day long.

This idea seems a bit nonsensical to Sophie. Doing business in Eruin is not a very respectable profession, and the people even confuse some of them with scammers and thieves.

During the reign of Anson VI, these people had been colluding with outside bandits for many years, and were deeply disgusted. They were even called "people with two mouths and three hands."

The two mouths are because they are eloquent and good at deceiving. The three hands are because their hands and feet are unclean and they often do petty thefts. It can be said that these people are one of the greatest threats to local security. Sophie has done ten tasks in her novice days.

There are eight of them all about them.

"I climbed in through the window outside your kitchen. By the way, your window is so small! It almost tore my skirt -" the girl complained while bending down to straighten the hem of her skirt.

"No one asked you to come in from there——!" Adhering to Brando's memory, Sophie already had a certain immunity to this young lady's character, but she still couldn't help but cursed in her heart.

"I'm not asking you this," he couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm asking you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"I'm worried about you, Brando," Roman replied while looking around, obviously looking extremely curious: "Did you see that skeleton?"

Did she see it too? Sophie noticed that the young lady's eyes fell on her chest.

"Are you injured?" The future girl businessman tilted her head and blinked.

"kindness……"

"Let's see," she ran up the stairs with her skirt in a few steps, and held down the young man's hand that was blocking the wound with her paw, "take your hand away, why should you block it, the wound will be infected——!" the girl complained.

He said this and looked at Sophie's wound.

She took a breath and raised her head: "Such a serious injury!"

Sophie felt the girl's cold grip on her hand, and her heart beat a little faster. Although he knew that this was Brando's feeling, he did not deliberately stop it——

"It doesn't matter……"

"It doesn't matter your size!" The business lady rolled her eyes at him, and then she went to look for her cowhide bag hanging on her leather skirt: "Wait a minute, I seem to have a bandage..."

Sophie looked at each other with interest.

He knew that the things in Roman's bag were all her treasures, and most of them were strange gadgets that Brando bought with her. Such as seashells, colored glass beads, and copper whistles.

, ancient coins, etc. Most of these things are not worth a few dollars, but they are not very common in this area.

The biggest hobby of this future girl businessman is to look for these treasures in a pile of second-hand goods. Although neither young man has money, Roman can always find ways to buy some rare and cheap things that she likes.

He held Roman's hand and shook his head: "Go into the house and look for her. It's too dangerous here."

"I'm not afraid of those bones." She raised her head and glanced at him, finally finding a first aid box: "Can you bandage it? I can't."

Sophie opened the box and took out the bandage and hemostatic cotton, and was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to find first aid supplies, because subconsciously he still regarded this place as the world of a game. In the game, as soon as the bandage is applied, it will automatically stop bleeding and return blood, but

Only at this moment did he realize that in reality, bandaging is a professional knowledge. You can't just wrap a few circles around the wound area?

"Brando, how about I give it a try?" Miss Roman looked eager to try.

"No need." Sophie quickly refused, as life was not meant to be such a toss-up.

He suddenly felt that it was a good idea to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Anyway, just do it here as you would in the game. If you die, just blame God. He tore off one end of the bandage and bit it in his mouth, then untied his clothes and took off the bandage.

Wrap the bandage around the wound from the inside. He is at least a veteran in applying bandages in the game, so his technique is quite proficient, and he is careful not to press it too tightly.

But he suddenly froze.

He saw a light green number, +1, slowly emerging from his wound.

At that moment, Sophie's mind was buzzing like a bombshell. For a moment, she didn't know what she should do next. But immediately she reacted, and as if she was blessed, she said wildly in her heart: "Attributes,

Attributes, come out to me!"

He waited with a feeling of half-expectation and fear of failure. After waiting for about a second, a set of faint data appeared on his arms, thighs, joints, body and heart.

Strength 1.0, Dexterity 2.0, Constitution 0.9.

Then another set of data floated like a ghost in his field of vision:

Intelligence 1.1, Will 1.3, Perception 1.0.

Absolute power 1.0, element (uncivilized)——

Under this set of data, lines of text and values ​​cascade down like a waterfall, forming an illusory page:

Brando, human male, level 1 (power system: physical, melee)

xp: 1 (civilian level 1: —, militia level 1, 0/3)

Health (weak): 60% (bandaged state, 1 health point restored every day)

Taking office——

Civilians [Basic knowledge (level 1), geographical knowledge (level 0), local knowledge (level 1)]

Militia [Military swordsmanship (level 1), fighting skills (level 1), tactical theory (level 0), military organization (level 0)]

Sure enough, sure enough!

Sophie couldn't help but think about what the mentality of an ordinary person would be like if he won five million, right? Is this a dream? Absolutely not. He knew that in a dream, a person would not have the same mentality.

With such clear and strict logic, few people would suspect that they are dreaming in their dreams.

But are you still in the game?

No, the history in the game has reached the nineteenth year of the Second Age.

The young man felt that his head was in a mess, and all his fantastic thoughts seemed to come in all at once, making him a little dizzy. But Sophie shook her head, and he understood that all this was true! He had read so many time-travel novels.

, he is not the first person to travel to the game world, and he will certainly not be the last.

Lady Martha, do you really exist?

Sophie couldn't help but pray to the only supreme god in the world. He stared blankly at the virtual data projected on his retina, and couldn't help but ask himself:

Isn't this your world, Sophie? What else do you want?

Yes, as a senior warrior of more than 130 levels, what else can he ask for? He has the experience. He also has the ability to foresee things.

If he still can't control his own destiny, then he can really be so ashamed that he crashes to death. But having said that, it feels good to be confident, it's really good.
