When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

After two days of travel, the caravan finally arrived at a town slightly larger than Fam City.

The weather suddenly turned bad in the past two days. It was windy and snowy most of the time, making it particularly difficult for the convoy to move forward.

After discussion, everyone decided to stay in this town for a few days, wait for the weather to improve, and then set off again, and replenish the consumed supplies.

In the bustling pub, Li Shanren sat by the window. His plain gray winter coat made him look inconspicuous. Even with his exotic appearance, he failed to attract other people's attention.

Li Shanren took a sip of the hot water on the table, then spread out the latest copy of the Royal Palace Gazette and read it carefully.

By the time it came to the central region of the kingdom, the original Southern Monthly was naturally no longer popular. The most popular was still the official gazette issued by the kingdom's administrative agency. It was also published monthly, but the things recorded included many major events inside and outside the kingdom, mainly current affairs in government affairs, economy, important meetings, etc.

Strangely, the headlines this month were not about the affairs of the Kingdom of Jonia, but about the election of consuls for the Northern Caesar Republic.

[In December of the winter of the year 5016 in the Messianic calendar, the royal capital officially opened the election and announced the four candidates as follows——]

【The first duchess of the Duke of Karsten family, Crusch. The Karsten family has a long history and played an important role in the revolution that overthrew the monarchy, so it retained the title of duke. In addition, it controls one-third of the Republic's army and is the representative nominated by the military. In this election, Crusch has the highest support rate and is the most popular candidate in the election.】

[Anastasia, the first leader of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. The Hexin Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Republic. More than 70% of the merchants in the Republic are members of this chamber of commerce. It is the most relied-upon economic organization in the Republic.

The current leader Anastasia has a legendary upbringing. She was born in the lower class of the western city-state of the Republic, but with her innate talent for business, she rose from an unknown small businessman to the leader of the Chamber of Commerce in just seven years. She is the second most popular candidate in this election.

[Priscilla Barrier, descendant of the royal family. After the revolution of the Caesar Republic, the original royal family was not exterminated. Some royal family members who were willing to obey the rule of the new era were retained. Priscilla was one of them. It is rumored that she is a direct descendant of the royal family.

Compared to her royal status, Priscilla's title of "Bloody Bride" is more widely known. It is said that anyone who marries her will die in various bizarre accidents within a short period of time. Her current surname is inherited from her eighth husband, Count Ballier.

It was also through these marriages that Priscilla inherited a large amount of inheritance from her husbands, and held a considerable amount of power in her hands. It is said that she herself is also a terrifyingly powerful extraordinary person. Due to her sensitive identity as a descendant of the royal family, Priscilla's support rate is only ranked third. 】

[Ice Witch Emilia. It is said that she is a half-elf who walked out of the deep forest in the north. She has beautiful silver hair and blue-purple eyes. Her appearance is very similar to the rumored "Witch of Jealousy". This appearance has caused this candidate to suffer great criticism.

Emilia is a powerful fairy sorcerer, and it is rumored that the fairy she contracted has a very deep background. At the same time, Emilia's biggest supporter, Roswaal Mezas, is said to be the chief magician of the capital, and one of the nobles who retained his title after the revolution, with the title of "Border Marquis".

With the support of being a powerful superhuman and the chief magician of the capital, Emilia has a certain support rate among the superhumans, but compared with other candidates, her support rate is currently at the bottom, even compared with Priscilla, who has a sensitive royal identity, there is a big gap. Rumor has it that the policies advocated by Emilia will benefit the grassroots people, but this did not win her the majority support of the grassroots people. 】

......

"Witch of jealousy?"

Li Shanren quickly scanned the information of all the candidates, and then his attention was attracted by a name in the official newspaper.

He narrowed his eyes and quickly recalled where he had heard the name before.

Among the various possible fates shown to him by the golden apple, in the possibility that the magic ring was suspected to be taken away, the owner of the perspective seemed to have asked for help from a being called the "Witch of Jealousy", or to be more precise, it was a deal.

The content of the transaction is that the Witch of Jealousy lends a certain power to the owner of the perspective, and in exchange, the owner of the perspective must protect someone for the Witch of Jealousy.

Of course, in the last scene, that powerful being used some kind of ability to say that there was no possibility of resurrection for the viewer, so it is not clear whether the viewer finally borrowed the power of the Witch of Jealousy.

But no matter what, this name was eventually known to Li Shanren.

It was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to it. In fact, he had recently been investigating the matter of the "Witch of Jealousy". At first, he thought that this existence named "Jealousy" was a member of the Seven Kings' Sins, just like "Desire" among the Seven Kings' Sins he encountered a long time ago.

But after getting to know them a little better, Li Shanren felt that they were not similar.

Because the most terrifying legend about the Witch of Jealousy is that she has the power to destroy the world.

If she is one of the Seven Sins, doesn't that mean that each of these seven guys has or is close to having the power to destroy the world?

If this is the case, then this continent is extremely lucky to have survived intact to this day.

Of course, destroying the world is unlikely.

After all, there is a suspected true God in this world, and everyone depends on the "Messiah Continent" for their livelihood. If someone comes and wants to smash the pot, the true God will probably suffer the consequences.

It is also difficult to say how many true gods there are in this world.

Li Shanren is considering whether to look for the so-called "Witch of Jealousy" and get in touch with her.

If the other party could lend him his strength, it might become his life-saving straw in the future.

However, judging from the current situation, the Witch of Jealousy has become an illusory legend, and finding her is simply a fantasy.

Li Shanren held the official newspaper in his hand, his eyes lingering between the two names "Emilia" and "The Witch of Jealousy" for a long time, and finally he let out a sigh of relief.

"Maybe he really just looks like her, but if I go to the northern capital later, I might go and see her if I have the chance..."

"I just wonder if the noble candidate for consul will meet with a humble person like me?"

"But then again, why are all the candidates for consul female? And they all seem very young..."

After sitting in the tavern for more than half an hour, Li Shanren flipped through the official newspaper in his hand, finally closed the newspaper and put it away carefully.

He saw no more news about the city of Fam in the newspaper, nor any information related to the Order of Sloth, but there was one piece of news related to the city of Olin.

Just recently, the 302nd Extraordinary Conference was held as scheduled in Olin City.

The Extraordinary Conference is a grand event held by the Extraordinary Guild under the witness of the Kingdom. It is held every four years with the aim of selecting the most outstanding extraordinary people in recent times. The main participants are elite, gold, and even emerald level extraordinary people.

Of course, the events of the conference are not limited to combat. There are also various competitions specially designed for pharmacists, alchemists and other extraordinary people in non-combat professions. Those who perform outstandingly will receive generous rewards.

Of course, the most valuable one is still the extraordinary battle.

The event is still going on. The official bulletin lists all the extraordinary people who have performed well. Among them, the most outstanding extraordinary person in the field of close combat is a extraordinary person named "Momo". This extraordinary person is extremely tall, proficient in using two fine steel swords, and wears black armor with golden patterns.

In this Extraordinary Conference, the Extraordinary named "Momo" is the biggest dark horse in the Extraordinary battle. Since he has just joined the Extraordinary Guild and has not demonstrated his strength to the guild, he can only start from the Black Iron level.

But in the Extraordinary Conference, no matter what kind of opponent he meets, he can defeat him quickly. He has quickly climbed up from the elite level competition and has been classified as an Emerald-level Extraordinary. He will fight against Emerald-level Extraordinary people in the future.

"Why do you like coming to the pub when you obviously can't drink?"

Just as I was about to leave, a figure in a snow-white winter robe appeared at the table.

Li Shanren raised his head slightly, and a pair of wine-red eyes were looking at him with a smile in them.

"It's Tifa."

Li Shanren greeted him and explained casually, "I don't know why. Maybe it's because I can stay focused in such a messy environment. Besides, I only ordered a cup of hot water."

"I thought you were interested in wine, and I wanted you to taste the wine I made again." Tifa said regretfully.

"Ahem, forget it then..."

Li Shanren coughed dryly. He had drunk the wine mixed by Tifa before and passed out after just one glass. This incident left a deep impression on him.

"I'm about to go back to the hotel. What do you want from me?"

"I've found the carpenter's workshop and the excellent painter you asked me to help you find." Tifa blinked.

"Really? Take me to see it."

The two of them then left the tavern together and disappeared around the corner of the street in the snowy wind.

Five days later.

Li Shanren walked out of a printing shop carrying a wooden box stuffed full of things, with a faint smile on his face.

He walked with slightly hurried steps and soon arrived at the courtyard where he was staying.

Since there were so many of them, it was too inconvenient to stay in an ordinary hotel, so Li Shanren directly rented a larger courtyard-style hotel.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he called everyone to the largest house, asked everyone to gather around the round table, and solemnly opened the wooden box in his hand.

Inside were rows of wooden signs that were only half the size of a palm. The craftsmanship of the wooden signs was very sophisticated, and a substance similar to gum was applied on the surface, making it look very luxurious to the touch.

"Is this what you asked those carpenters and painters to make?" Tifa stood next to Li Shanren, looking curious.

During these few days, she could see Lisern running to the carpenter's workshop and the painters' homes every day.

"Yes, this is for you."

Li Shanren seemed to have already distributed all the cards in the wooden box. He randomly picked out thirty cards and stuffed them into Tifa's hand.

"For me?"

Tifa was slightly stunned and looked down at the top wooden sign in her hand.

The wooden sign vividly depicts a girl in a white vest and a short leather skirt, standing with her back to the camera, her hair reaching her waist, her fists slightly clenched, and wearing a pair of slightly worn boxing gloves.

Her name was written at the top of the wooden sign, and on the left edge of her name was a circle with the number "10" inside it, and a sword symbol was drawn below the number.

"What is this?" Tifa asked, blinking as she looked at herself on the wooden sign.

"This is... Gwent, and this is your character card. As for what they do, you'll know in a moment."

Li Shanren smiled mysteriously.

Over the next hour, Li Shanren slowly distributed the wooden cards in the wooden box one by one.

Everyone present had one, even Love and Avril who stayed in the team temporarily, but they didn’t have their own character cards.

However, Altaïr, Ezio, Eivor, and Araghan did not receive any wooden plaques.

Because after these four guys came to this town, they each found an excuse to leave temporarily.

Altaïr and Ezio said they were going to do some training, and then went into the nearby forest together. One day after they left, Eivor also said he wanted to go to the forest to find materials for making potions, so he also left the group.

As Ezio had instructed him to do, Araghan had already bought supplies and horses in the town. After resting for two days, he set out to return to Orin.

So far, the three guys except Arahan have never returned to the team.

Two days later, when the wind and snow gradually stopped, the three people who had just returned from outside the city unexpectedly discovered that a tabletop battle game called "Gwent" had suddenly become popular among the children in the team.
