Chapter 17 This Novice Village is Different
Elna's reaction didn't seem like it was the first time she saw someone succeed. She was very familiar with the whole process and steps.
The old nun Brother Blackfire's eyes were still bulging, trying to stare as wide as possible. "When the others went crazy one by one, they successfully confused their own brains and listened to the whispers. They stole the unholy holy grail of Blackfire. They are betrayers and sinners!"
Lind took the information into his mind but said nothing. After all, he was just a general believer. If another sect gave out eggs, he would definitely change his faith immediately.
What concerned him even more was that a great knight had already appeared half a year ago, and this was only a corner of the world. Perhaps after the magic ring was broken, the situation was not as bad as imagined, and there were still some people who controlled the power.
If they also discover the abnormality of the players, they will definitely be interested in the players' powers.
He can become stronger just by killing and cannot die. He is simply the best tool man.
I have a competitor!
This is not good news.
Lind put away the book "Praise the Sun". Perhaps this book was his biggest gain besides the potion for promotion to Grand Knight.
"We should leave Prey Town today. There is a group of devout knights waiting for your guidance."
"Of course!" Elna stuffed the rat back into her pocket with a serious look on her face.
……
Linde bought a lot of things this time, so he specially found a two-wheeled flatbed truck when leaving.
The aging Eluna Momo naturally sat on the pallet truck and was pulled by two soldiers.
The price of a livestock is dozens of times more expensive than before the Doomsday when the Ring of Magic was shattered. It is no longer affordable for small forces. Human labor is the cheapest.
"Sir, we have to be careful, otherwise we might be targeted."
"Um"
Lind nodded, and all the way, his left hand was on the hilt of the sword, and his concentration was at its highest level.
Four people, an old nun, and a truck full of supplies were basically telling others loudly that there were fat sheep here, so come and rob them.
Lind, who has successfully been promoted to Grand Knight, is not afraid of the refugees. Anyone who is not afraid of death can come.
What he was worried about were those inhuman creatures. Although the possibility of encountering them during the day was not high, it did not mean that they did not exist.
Those who covet the moon and fear the sun are ultimately low-level disasters, and no one can guarantee that higher-level monsters will not appear.
After walking for a long time, the expected attack did not occur.
"There are messy footprints here." Linde looked at the fresh footprints on the ground. "They should have been planning to ambush here or something else, but it seems that something happened that made them choose to escape. The scene is very chaotic."
The huge horse hoof print that looked like an elephant's hoof appeared in his mind. The lower body was a horse, and the upper body might not be something that would be distorted by truth or faith. Tentacles covered with suction cups? Tentacles covered with eyeballs? Or eyeballs covered with tentacles?
However, no horse hoof prints have been found so far, only messy human footprints.
In short, no matter what happens, don't take it lightly.
"Sir?" The four soldiers and Elna Momo had already seen different meanings in his solemn expression.
"Speed up and get on your way!"
No matter what that thing is, you should leave as soon as possible.
After a day of non-stop travel, we finally saw the outline of Star Dragon Outpost, like a beetle crawling on the horizon.
Finally home!
During this period, Zui Ai Bai Si only released a video of building a house, and Lind only knew that everything was fine at the sentry post.
"The master is back!" As soon as he approached the sentry post, the soldier on guard on the city wall shouted at the top of his voice.
The sentry door swung open ponderously.
The soldiers came out spontaneously to help carry supplies. Each of them was full of energy and hope for their future life.
These things are necessities of life!
Lind made his routine enquiry: "Have those undead caused any trouble recently?" "No, they just built a house." The soldier shook his head.
Linde took a special look and found that a small shabby house made of a mixture of wood and stone had been built within the scope of his plan. Although it was not beautiful, it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
According to the players' thinking, it is now the early stage of development and they don't have the leisure time to stay here and build a house.
After the novelty wears off, players would rather go out and explore and complete quests.
"Lord!" Favorite Baisi was the first to see Linde and rushed over excitedly: "Is there any mission?"
After he howled, the other three players came over.
"Yes, Lord, do you have a mission? Any mission will do!"
"Is there a dragon or something?"
"Giants, undead, anything is fine!"
You guys are really not picky.
Lind tried hard to maintain his expression. He suspected that if he continued living like this, he might become a world-class movie star before becoming a local overlord.
He put on the serious tone that an NPC would use when issuing a task: "Alas!"
There is a play!
Seeing him suddenly sigh, the four players immediately became alert.
As expected, Star Dragon Outpost is not an ordinary novice village, and the tasks issued by this lord are also different.
During the two days and one night in the game, the four people did not really stay in the game without going out. They would quit the game to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. At that time, they would also communicate with other players. The game forum was already filled with posts from players. Many players would check the forum after quitting the game. After all, it is the only official chat area. It is not only convenient to watch, but also allows one-click addition of friends, mutual data, etc. The videos produced can also make money and have cooperation with other video websites, so players really can't find a reason to give up the forum.
It’s really easy to use.
It’s just that the official seems to have disappeared completely, and there is nothing except an internal test announcement.
The 3000 players who were beta testing version 1.01 were not a group of scattered individuals. Especially after the first video of Ai Baisi went viral, many of them started to form player groups.
For example, the four of them have basically joined all the major mainstream player groups just to get first-hand data and information.
About 1300 people successfully found the Novice Village and received shelter.
Some of the remaining 1700-odd people were transferred to monster refresh points as soon as they were born, and were directly "broken down" and unable to move.
Some were captured and held captive, with no freedom at all.
Some players appear in uninhabited areas and have no idea where to go, so they get lost and have no gaming experience at all.
If you couldn't kill monsters and level up, and if you couldn't quit freely, this world wouldn't really feel like a game, as if it didn't care at all how hard the players had it.
As for those players who successfully entered the Novice Village, unlike the four people who loved Baisi the most, the currency they came into contact with was not gold coins. It can even be said that the currencies were all different.
The lack of a unified currency has caused players to complain bitterly, and the sunk costs are too high, making it difficult to change forces even if they want to in the future.
Secondly, other novice villages generally have important roles such as "Announcer", "Blacksmith", "Pharmacist", and "Merchant".
Players can receive fixed daily tasks through the character on the board, purchase and repair weapons and equipment through the blacksmith, buy red and blue medicines through the pharmacist, and finally purchase or sell various materials through the merchant.
Looking at Star Dragon Outpost again, its walls are countless times higher than those of the Novice Village. It is simply a fortress. There is no defense mission for the Novice Village at all. How can enemies like wanderers and mountain people break through the solid walls of Star Dragon Outpost?
Although there is no poster girl here, there is the lord. However, the lord is not like the poster girl who stays in one place for a long time. Linde’s recent disappearance made them depressed for a while.
There was no blacksmith in the outpost, but there was a weapon shop. While other novice villages were still selling cloth and fur clothing, this one was already selling heavy plate armor, and even complete sets of armor. When the four of them put out the things that could be bought, the other players in the group were drooling, and they all shouted that they wanted to come to Star Dragon Outpost, but unfortunately they couldn't find the way and could only envy.
The only pity is that there are no pharmacists or merchants, and the functions always give people a feeling of imperfection.
But overall, the four were very satisfied with Star Dragon Outpost as a novice village.
Some people have even analyzed that Star Dragon Outpost is not a regular novice village, but a hidden force that must have its own special storyline.
This is also the reason why the four of them stayed here patiently.
