King from scratch

"I want one-tenth of the treasure." Ole Jin's words fit the dragon's greedy nature very well.

But everyone present is aware of another point, one tenth of the treasure can never satisfy the other party.

The greed for wealth imprinted in the instinct of the dragons makes them never give up the treasury in front of them. The moment they find the treasure, the dragons will break the agreement without hesitation and take all the treasures for themselves.

No expedition team would invite dragons to join, because that would undoubtedly be sending sheep to the tiger's mouth.

However, Dragon Clan's failure to abide by the agreement could not prevent He Xingwen from keeping his promise, so he bargained seriously with Ole Jin.

"One tenth is too much," He Xingwen said, "One thousandth."

He actually bargained seriously with the Dragon Clan?

Both Anuda and Lincoln, who were watching this scene, were very subtle about this—on the premise that the dragons would not keep their promises, the act of bargaining itself was useless.

Ole King rolled his eyes, and his flexible mind was full of vigilance: "Do you have a trump card that can ensure that both parties fulfill their promises?"

It's not that there are no collaborators trying to restrain the Dragon Clan with curses, ethers, etc., but compared with the surging and powerful ether sea of ​​the Dragon Clan, most of these constraints cannot play their due role because of the weakness of the collaborators themselves.

But if it's a human king...it wouldn't surprise anyone that anything beyond common sense happens to him.

He Xingwen was subtly silent for two seconds because of the other party's obvious attitude of "I will not fulfill my promise".

"No."

Ole King didn't believe his words, but he would be even more unwilling to let him just turn around and leave like this—it was the treasure of the legendary dwarf kingdom.

So he got into a tangle that could easily be seen by an onlooker.

Taking advantage of Ole King's thoughts, Lincoln said, "I'm not interested in the treasures of the dwarf kingdom. Judging from the scene just now, your expedition team doesn't need me to join..."

It sounded like the other party directly dismissed the idea of ​​joining the expedition and was about to turn around and leave.

Of course, after the series of experiences just now—especially the appearance of iron-eating ants, any normal person would subconsciously choose to stay away from this dangerous place.

He Xingwen interrupted him: "The kingdom has just started..."

Crowd: ? ? ?

"There is no extra manpower to form an expedition team, and with the environment on the top of the mountains, I think the addition of Druids is very necessary for the expedition team."

As the saying goes, if you don't use old tricks, you just need to work. He Xingwen has a unique trick that will kill these 'experts'.

"Actually, I don't have much research on plants." He Xingwen didn't hide his intentions, and said frankly: "I need experts who are good at flora and fauna to help me count and confirm the types and quantities of flora and fauna that exist in the kingdom."

This doesn't sound like a reward, but more like a new job-but for the druid, this is indeed a reward that is hard to refuse.

Extinct creatures generally refer to animals, but in fact, there are also many extinct plants.

Animals can at least have the option of escaping when the doomsday comes, but plants can only accept the imminent death.

In the dark age, the elves were almost extinct, precisely because the tree of life in the elf kingdom continued to weaken, and the tree of life that gave birth to newborns began to weaken because the world was on the verge of destruction, not to mention other plants.

It's just that at that time, everyone was more concerned about the survival of their own race, and no one cared about the mass death and disappearance of green plants.

After entering the fifth era, plants with tenacious vitality spread all over the continent again, but other plants that were completely extinct disappeared with time from the memory of intelligent creatures.

Ole King: "Wow."

The huge head was stretched between Lincoln and He Xingwen, and the eyes the size of copper gongs went back and forth between the two of them: "Look, his heart is moving..."

"make a deal."

Lincoln didn't even think about the pros and cons, and made a decisive choice.

Instead, He Xingwen, who proposed the reward, confirmed with him: "But one thing, I need to remind you that the kingdom does not allow any harm or sale of extinct creatures and plants, whether it is for research or trade, it is not allowed."

Ole King tilted his head to look at the human king, and asked curiously, "Then what if it attacks me?"

The human king's answer to this was extremely cold: "If you have not stepped into a place that is forbidden by the kingdom, theoretically, it is impossible for you to encounter extinct creatures that will attack you."

"How is it impossible?" Ole Jin yelled loudly, causing loud noises in the sky: "Such a big Asian bear is running on the ground, and the iron-eating ants are all over the ground..."

He Xingwen: "If they want to attack you, there should be no possibility of you surviving."

If you can't survive, you don't have to think about whether to fight back after being attacked.

Ole King was irritated by this sentence: "Even if it is an adult Asian bear, I may not necessarily lose in a fight. Why can't I survive?"

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Are you looking down on the Dragon Clan?"

The Dragon Clan is the only exception among them. They are very powerful, strong enough to meet the Asian Bear head-on, and strong enough to get a chance to escape from countless iron-eating ants.

"I mean the druid."

He Xingwen had no choice but to say along the way symbolically: "With the strength of the Dragon Clan, I believe you have no interest in those weak and extinct creatures."

Ole Jin's eyes drifted away, and his tone suddenly weakened: "I can't say that for sure..." He pretended to ask casually, "The one on your shoulder before is the so-called doctor of bones, the immortal of the living dead. bird?"

Ole Jin has no interest in the supernatural healing effect of the phoenix, but the golden appearance of the phoenix is ​​very in line with the aesthetics of the dragon clan...

In a nutshell, Ore King's thoughts on this: look good, want to.

He was obviously greedy, but not disgusting, and controlled the scale at a subtle critical point. From this point of view, it was a very wise choice for Ai Zhijin to contact him to join the expedition.

He Xingwen: "Yes."

Ole Jin looked at He Xingwen: "If I join the expedition, can you give me one?"

He Xingwen looked at the golden pupils in front of him.

Tones, movements, and expressions can be faked, but some things cannot be faked.

For example, the oppressive feeling of being at the top of the food chain, and the familiar cold breath in the golden pupils.

He Xingwen once saw the same look in Ya Xiong's eyes.

Because they are too powerful, everything around them is too weak for them, so they look at other existences with natural contempt.

For them, this is not an intentional deterrent, but just an instinctive sense of oppression at the top of the food chain.

When He Xingwen looked at Yaxiong once, he felt the real sense of death approaching.

But now, He Xingwen calmly asked the other party while looking at each other: "Are you provoking me?"

Ole Jin retracted his head violently, keeping a distance from He Xingwen.

"I'll just ask." Ole King glanced left and right, not aware of the danger, and then continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't send it away, you are the king and you have the final say. I respect your authority as a king very much."

It must be emphasized again here that Ole King's current performance cannot be used as the normal appearance of the Dragon Clan. Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Clan would not be so...reasonable.

But it was not a normal situation right now, so Ole King picked up the human virtues he never had, and kept restraint in front of the king.

Not feeling the fear of approaching death, He Xingwen stared at the chubby Long Xiang, on the contrary, he was sure that he was here, omnipotent.

Even the mighty dragon bowed his head in honor of the king's authority.

He Xingwen spent a few minutes controlling his emotions, swept away the omnipotent emotions, and spoke again.

"So, we have reached an agreement?" He Xingwen glanced at Lincoln who was nodding, and Ole King with erratic eyes.

Ole Jin recalled his fierce eye-sight struggle just now, and said vaguely, "Contract?"

"With Ai Zhijin as the intermediary, make a contract in quadruplicate." He Xingwen said simply: "If you violate the contract..."

Ole King concentrated and stretched out his ears.

"The Holy Guard will take back what is mine from the defaulter."

"Holy Guard? What is this?" Ole Jin yelled, "You still say you don't believe in God?"

No matter how you look at it, this name has something to do with God.

Anuta explained on the side: "The Holy Guard is the kingdom's law enforcement team, responsible for supervising and implementing the kingdom's laws..." He paused for two seconds: "The demons are in front of them, and they have no power to fight back. I strongly recommend that you do not try to Challenge it."

Ole Jin was frightened: "What race is the Holy Guard? Even demons can be killed with one blow?"

Anudha: "The gold of Ai knows nothing about this."

"How did he do it?"

"This part of the information..." Anuta glanced at the king: "In order to express goodwill, Ai Zhijin does not intend to sell information about the kingdom to the outside world."

Ole Jin moved two steps back, and before stepping on the conference hall, he stopped in time, and with a somewhat awkward posture, Jin Rooster was independent, explaining the essence of the problem in one go.

"So, this kingdom is very dangerous."

After the registration for the large-scale task of "Looking for the Treasure of the Dwarf Kingdom", the expedition team began to form.

The impromptu behavior of the players has had a certain effect.As of the end of the registration, nearly two hundred players have met the conditions through the explosion and joined the expedition team

The dwarves managed to gather around fifty dwarves, except for the part that still needed to build a school and still have classes. They responded to the king's call and went to the top of the mountains to find treasures that didn't exist at all.

Because they don't think this treasure exists, these dwarves set off with the idea of ​​joining in the fun.

In addition, the expedition team has the largest number of people, is the 117th team.

After the dwarves started building Gundams by hand, Team 117 retired and no longer participated in the construction of the school, and instead focused on learning.

Compared to the bleak situation where some players didn't even have three zero-level skills, Team 117 basically has more than five skills. Apart from the casting skills of the dwarves, they have [Ether Perception], [Ether Control], [ Spell Structure] and [Spell Analysis] these four zero-level mage skills.

That's right, there are no offensive spells such as "Lightning", "Lightning", "Mage Hand", all of them are basic spells.

But this does not mean that they are not aggressive, [Ether control] itself has the ability to control the weak ether to attack, but the aggressiveness is relatively low-very in line with what a zero-level spell should look like.

And [Spell Analysis] is a skill that theoretically analyzes the released spells. In theory, these four skills can completely replicate the spells released by the mage.

"All magic stems from the mage's control over the ether."

There are only a dozen great magicians in the entire arcane academy. The real mentor Doti said: "As long as you understand the ether enough and know the principle of the formation of spells, you don't need to learn the spells left by the predecessors. Construct powerful spells on your own."

"Whether it is a magician who mainly uses spells or a mystic who mainly builds ether circuits, in the final analysis, it is an exploration of the method of using ether."

"At the beginning, we know the ether, then we learn the spells left by our predecessors, and finally, we create spells."

From a practical point of view, even an epoch-making genius would not be able to construct new spells with bare hands on the premise of only having these four zero-level skills.

They must know enough about the ether, be familiar enough with the framework of spell construction, and have a stable enough connection with the ether to be able to do this.

For example, Moody, as the most outstanding genius among young mages, an intermediate magician, has not yet achieved the point of constructing his own spells.

But the difference between games and reality is that, to some extent, games are cheating.

Players who mobilize ether through the 'main console' do not need to meet these conditions like mages to do so.

In order to ensure that the expedition team can successfully complete the mission, instead of returning to the kingdom after leaving the land of death, He Xingwen used the recovered energy to add another basic function to the game before the expedition team set off.

"9. Turn on the temporary altar function, which can only be turned on by the king.

The speed of energy consumption is related to the distance between the temporary altar and the nearest altar and the duration. In the case of insufficient energy, the temporary altar will be forced to fail. "

Ao Lei Jin was floating in the air, and Long Sheng had doubts about himself for the first time.

Am I really being cheated?Can this team still find the treasure?

In the team going forward below.

Lazy and disorderly etheric body running around trying to find some treasure in the desert, while on the other side, the well-ordered procession leads a long way, maintaining amazing order during the long journey, Doesn't seem to get tired at all.

At the front was the dwarf who was riding in a simple tool cart. Even if Ole King was floating in the air, he could hear the rough singing from the car.

At the end of the line is the druid, who stands silently at the end of the line, and the solid plant fortress continues to extend as he moves forward—effectively isolating the group of etheric bodies around him, preventing them from attacking. harassment.

Ole King witnessed the madness of the etheric bodies with his own eyes. Lincoln's defensive posture was not there at the beginning, but he had to choose it as a last resort amidst the harassment of the etheric bodies.

As an intermediary, Anuta also joined the expedition team to ensure the successful completion of this commission.

As the king's representative, You was also in the expedition team.

His role is to serve as a temporary resurrection point to ensure that the expedition team will not be reduced to only dragons and druids as soon as they enter the top of the mountains.

After the players left the territory of the kingdom, the national setting 4: In your kingdom, the language used by your people is the common language, which directly became invalid, so there was a communication barrier between the players and the npc.

This caused some waves among the players, but it was quickly explained by the omnipotent reason that "the planning brain circuit has always been flawed".

Of course, You and the 117 team also had communication barriers with the aborigines of this world, so they got the 'communicative language' imposed on the etheric body by the mage one by one, eliminating unnecessary communication barriers.

"Why doesn't this dragon come down?"

Disorderly players grouped in groups of threes and twos. With two hundred players, they left traces on the desert as vast as a half-wall of mountains and rivers.

"People can fly, why come down?"

"Has anyone picked up that dragon-related quest? Do you like it?" This is a player who wants to be a dragon knight.

"Stop dreaming, you can't talk to each other, what about the task? Wash up and go to bed early."

"I always feel that the dragon looks at us strangely..."

"Which npc doesn't look at us strangely? Every time I feel that they are silently mocking me."

"One thing to say, the way the king looks at us is normal."

"Maybe it's a fucking plan..."

"Insulting planning, your account is gone."

Not far from the group of players who were talking about dragons, there was another group of players surrounding the druid.

"Amazing, the flower came straight from the seed..."

The player reached out and touched the slightly swaying little flower on the plant fortress, and was bitten off half of his finger. He took out the "blood recovery agent" bought from Anuta without changing his face, and took a sip carefully. After a while, the missing Lost fingers grow back.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel amazing."

That's right, druids and dragons also felt the same way, and the operation of directly restoring the ether body with a sip of ether supplements was amazing.

"Wang Xiaoer! You're wasting the blood recovery potion again! This is for the mission, not for you to be cheap."

Another player snatched the bottle from Wang Xiao's second-hand store. Seeing that there was not much less traffic, he calmed down his anger a little bit and said in a lower tone: "Don't join in the fun, come to the meeting quickly, don't forget, you are a war reporter."

"Aren't I fulfilling my duties as a war correspondent?" Wang Xiaoer said convincingly: "Druid is the new profession that will be released next, I will explore the way for everyone first, and see how awesome Druid is. .”

Players around Lincoln continued: "That's awesome. It's like a walking planter, and it can destroy the desert by itself."

"When will this profession be available?"

The players around Lincoln poked their heads and almost got scratched by the extremely weak-looking leaves. They hurriedly braked and retracted their heads.

"I feel that the desert terrain restricts his ability to play, change to a forest..."

"It's completely understandable why the king would trick a Druid back. This profession is really strong."

"Stop chatting, Wang Xiaoer, go to a meeting." The player dragged Wang Xiaoer towards another crowd.

"We have to cooperate this time. Individuals, trade unions, etc. have to unite. This large-scale task can only be shared by joining forces. If one family dominates, the task will not be completed, and the benefits will not be gained..."

"Stop, stop, where did the trade union come from? Just a few people playing together can be considered a trade union? How shameless?"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the dialogue began to deteriorate, Wang Xiaoer began to play his role: "Thanks to everyone's trust, now, my war correspondent Wang Xiaoer will film the pre-war preparations for everyone."

Seeing that the atmosphere that was about to quarrel suddenly eased, the players showed peaceful smiles and continued to talk in a false peace.

"Ahem, cooperation, of course we have to cooperate. Didn't we all agree before? It's important to complete the task."

"The main reason is to develop the kingdom. As a member of the kingdom, I have the obligation and responsibility! Explore the surrounding environment for the kingdom!"

"Then let's discuss next, how to command..."

Before the words fell, several voices rang out.

"I'm not boasting. Everyone has heard my name. Back then..."

"I don't compete with my predecessors, it's mainly this kind of real-time strategy game. I play a little more, and everyone knows me..."

"If it really doesn't work, then I'll go. I've been the first guild leader for so many years, and it's not a problem to command two hundred players..."

"Let me do it……"

"You are humble, let me do it..."

This discussion started with who will be in charge, and it also ended with who will be in charge, and it ended in just 5 minutes.

It's not that these players are not good enough, on the contrary, each of the players participating in the discussion is a famous elite in different games before, so on the premise that they can all be the commander-in-chief, it has led to a situation where no one can convince the crowd. .

"Forget it, there is still a long way to go anyway, let's talk about it later."

In this way, the expedition team set off amidst Ole King's worries, the players' chatter, and the dwarves' singing and dancing, and headed towards the world outside the Land of God's Fall.
