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

The sky was gray, and dark clouds gradually gathered. There were faint flashes of thunder deep in the clouds, but no thunder was heard.

"It was still sunny even when we were on the road. The weather is so changeable." Li Shanren looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart.

After the conversation just now, he and Tifa quietly broke the invisible barrier and resumed their daily relationship. Originally, he was thinking about how to take the initiative, but Tifa and the other two were more mature than he thought.

After walking into the castle, Li Shanren's biggest feeling was that of chilling and depression. Looking around, he saw blue-gray brick walls. Occasionally, he passed by one or two patrol soldiers wearing cotton armor, but the soldiers guarding the city walls were not actually there. Not much. Except for the city gate, the other city walls were guarded by soldiers every long distance.

It can be seen from this that there should be quite few soldiers stationed in this castle, and judging from the size of the castle, there may not be more than 200 people.

As Li Shanren followed the team, he silently observed the various structures of the castle, while Eivor, who was walking on his left, was constantly looking around, seeming to be doing the same thing.

The group walked through the center of the castle, passed by a soldier training field, walked along a slightly longer stone brick road, and finally came to the second gate of the castle, which was a double gate nearly ten meters high.

Its existence separated the viscount's real residence in the castle from the place outside that was more like a military camp.

As soon as Butler Kate walked to the city gate, the people inside seemed to have gotten the news and opened the gate to a gap that could only accommodate three people passing through at the same time.

After Li Shanren, who was walking at the end, passed the gap, the city gate was quickly closed with a muffled sound.

This heavy double door is opened by a special device that connects the towers on both sides, so there is actually no one behind the door. After the person responsible for opening the door releases the door-pull device in the tower, the door automatically closes.

Li Shanren looked back at the closed city gate, his eyes showing a bit of gloom. For some reason, his mood seemed to become a little depressed with the closing of the city gate.

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the city gate, looking up at the cloudy sky.

Maybe it's because of the weather.

He thought so.

......

"I am very grateful to all the extraordinary beings for actively accepting this commission. Although I have already explained it in the commission, I still plan to repeat the relevant things just in case. Please don't feel irritated by this. , thank you for your cooperation.”

In the rather spacious reception hall of the castle, a group of extraordinary people stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the old castle housekeeper who was standing in front of the main seat and speaking with a ceremonial smile. He was called "Kate".

Next to the old housekeeper, stood the swordsman in red armor. He was the only gold-level warrior in the entire team of extraordinary beings. Dylanna, the captain of the Red Flame team, was a Red Flame swordsman who was good at using The power of fire.

"As the temporary guards here, you only need to guard the area where the Viscount lives. During this period, please do not go out to the outside of the castle unless you voluntarily give up this mission..." Butler Kate spoke slowly. Narrated.

"Sorry to interrupt, I have a question."

At this time, at the bottom of the steps, a muscular man in powerful clothing asked. He stood at the front of a group of extraordinary people, with fierce eyes. At first glance, he looked like a rather unruly character.

"Excuse me." Butler Kate said with a kind smile, without any angry expression on her face due to being interrupted.

"How long will this temporary guard commission last?"

"Of course until Viscount Arman comes back." Butler Kate replied slowly, "Everyone should know that the Viscount recently took his personal guards to attend political discussions, so he entrusted you with extraordinary combat power to defend the castle."

"Then, if we leave midway, how will the reward be calculated?" the muscular man asked.

"I'm sorry, if you give up halfway, we won't pay a single rupee." Butler Kate still answered with a smile, but her tone was a little heavier.

"I understand. That's all my questions. You can continue."

The muscular man nodded. Surprisingly, this seemingly vicious and unruly guy did not attack the butler. Perhaps it was because the Red Flame Swordsman was standing next to the butler. No one wanted to offend a gold-level warrior at will. After all, the other party might be The top level of combat power in this castle.

"If you have any other questions, please wait until I finish explaining everything before asking. I will be happy to answer them for you." Butler Kate said with a smile on her face, her tone returning to the same tone as before.

Next, he continued to talk about the matters related to the commission in a soothing and polite tone.

"Since the Viscount doesn't know when he will return, even I can't confirm the duration of this commission. However, the rewards will be calculated on a daily basis, so for everyone, the longer the duration, the greater the rewards you will get. rich."

"Of course, if you have incurred additional losses because this commission lasted too long, we are also willing to compensate you to a certain extent. However, both rewards and compensation will not be distributed until the mission is over."

"You may have noticed when you came here with me. The area of ​​the castle where Lord Viscount lives is relatively large, so you need to garrison it separately. I hope to divide the garrison area into three parts: east, west and middle. Dylan will The Red Flame Team led by Your Excellency Na is stationed in the central part, while two teams are stationed in the east and west parts."

"I will arrange specific people to take you to the specific places where you will be stationed, patrolled, and stayed overnight. When stationed, in principle, please try not to leave the area you are responsible for. At the same time, some areas inside the castle are prohibited. Those who enter include the Viscount’s study room, armory and other places. Of course, unless it is an accident, you should not come into contact with those places.”

"By the way, there is a large training ground built inside the castle, where you can move and exercise. If necessary, you can go there on your own, but the premise is to ensure that someone is stationed at the necessary location."

"That's all I have to tell you. Do you have any questions?"

There was silence below, and many people's eyes flashed with unclear meanings, but they seemed to have no objections.

"Um... I would like to ask, is there any difference between the eastern area and the western area to be garrisoned? Will we allocate the garrisoning positions privately, or will you make unified arrangements?"

A slightly abrupt voice sounded from the back of the team, but the tone sounded gentle and friendly, not offensive.

Everyone looked at the place where the sound came from. It was a thin young man holding his right hand high. He was wearing mage-style clothes. Judging from the special face shape, he did not seem to be from the Kingdom of Jonia.

“Oh, I’m going to talk about these two issues next.

However, since you asked in advance, I will introduce it to you directly.

In fact, there is no difference in the places where the East and West districts are stationed. Everyone is treated the same. If there is any difference, it may be that the scenery they see is different. At least how to allocate garrison positions..."

Butler Kate said this with a smile on her face, then suddenly raised her hands and patted them gently.

As the voice fell, two maids in their thirties walked out of the side door of the hall, stood at the end of the line, and then bowed slightly to the extraordinary beings.

"The two of them will take two teams to the east and west areas to get familiar with each other. Each team can choose which area they want to go to. However, once you choose where to go, it cannot be changed."

"Please start making your choices. The one on the left is responsible for the West District, and the one on the right is responsible for the East District."

In fact, there is nothing to choose about this kind of thing. It's the same no matter which way you go. Therefore, except for the Red Flame team who will stay and station in the center, the other teams were quickly selected. Li Shanren and the others directly chose the maid in charge of the east area of ​​the castle. .

After watching the extraordinary team below make their choice, old housekeeper Kate smiled and said: "Then, please follow them to the corresponding area. If you have any questions during the period, you can ask them."

......

The clouds in the sky are still gathering, but it hasn't rained yet. This kind of weather always makes people feel dull, especially when combined with the maid lady's tone of voice, which makes people feel drowsy.

Li Shanren walked leisurely at the back of the team, occasionally raising his head to glance at the boring clouds, and basically didn't pay much attention to the maid's introduction.

Elvo squeezed into the front of the team and listened very carefully. If he was given a pen and paper, he might even record down the important information he heard.

Tifa and Basat would occasionally get distracted during the maid's narration, but most of the time they still heard something.

The extraordinary team stationed with them in the East District is called "Sword Wind".

Because the five people in the team are all sword-wielding warriors, two elites, two juniors and one retinue, their overall strength seems to be stronger than Tifa's team.

But in fact, it cannot be calculated like this. If there is a real fight, Tifa's team may have a higher chance of winning. Tactics are still to let Basat's guardian mage "Lithern" and Eivor, Tifa's strongest attacker, take the initiative. , Li Shanren provided long-range support under his protection, keeping the two elite swordsmen separated from Tifa.

Then Tifa, as an elite fighter, quickly eliminated the three weaker swordsmen in the opponent's team, and finally cooperated with Basat and Li Shanren to defeat the remaining two elite swordsmen. This was roughly the process.

This is not to say that Jianfeng Team is weaker. It can only be said that in terms of team structure, Tifa Team is more reasonable than Jianfeng with all members in close combat. A reasonable team structure can naturally exert more significant combat power. .

Moreover, when necessary, Li Shanren can summon the ashes of his soul to fight together.

Of course, if it is not a life and death battle, he will generally not let the extremely threatening corrupt wild dogs go into battle, and will basically only summon the three wolves who work together in unity.

At the same time, Torret can be summoned, allowing it to carry Li Shanren and Eivor, and use its high mobility to avoid the opponent's melee units. This can free Basat from the guard mission and join the melee ranks. , Jianfeng Team has even less chance of winning.
