Lord of terror

"I know how many of you there are. If there are not all of you, you will stand here until you starve to death." When the number stopped increasing, Moria stood there and said indifferently.

After more than half an hour, someone moved, but bumped into a transparent wall, and they were really sealed.

When Kunz went downstairs to have dinner, he saw a group of servants and citizens who were hugging and crying wildly, and a group of players who were frightened and eating melons surrounded by them from a distance.

[Baron Zhengtai, don’t you care about it?The Moria steward said that they would not be allowed to leave if there were not enough people, and then sealed them in place. ]

"I handed over the work to Moria, and he will be in charge. Don't worry, Moria is very measured. Thank you for your hard work. I'll take away today's food." Kunz said that he didn't care, and left with the food up.

He walked forward, and Moria actually issued a mission to the player on the back foot.

"I need a few people to help find the person hiding in the castle, are you willing to help?"

Although the two sides couldn't communicate, it can be seen from the excited expressions of Geji Geji and their constant gestures of raising their hands that they are very willing.

[Isn't it only the Baron Zhengtai who can give us mission rewards? ]

[Is it only Baron Zhengtai who can give us magic power as a reward? ]

Moria's Sense of Mood and Moment skills were at their peak. He saw the hesitation of the grizzlies standing behind, and the players standing in front gradually let go of their hands after hearing the grumbles behind them.

"I can't give you the Baron's items as a reward." Sure enough, Yougejigeji turned and left, "So, my reward is that you can first get a map of most of the castle, and after the mission ends, you can get a map of most of the castle. After that, you can get 1 to 2 hours of reading time in my study. Of course, it cannot be in the afternoon, because that is the reading time that the baron enjoys alone."

"Gaji!" "Gaji, Geji!"

[I! ][me! ]

Now the players suddenly became excited again, oh... clucking and bouncing.

Although the castle looks majestic, it is much worse than modern skyscrapers. Players only saw its simplicity and dilapidation at first, and the rest didn't pay much attention to it.But as long as you go in once, you can know the complexity of the castle.For example, old players, who hasn't committed suicide four, five or six times because of Quest?

But because there are too many places to explore, and because they are worried about angering Kunz, the old players did not organize a large-scale exploration operation.Now new players are here, and they committed suicide because they ran into the castle to explore and get lost and were too scared, which is already the second highest cause of player death.

Moria took out a piece of parchment, turned around and pasted it on the wall, and the Gejigeji rushed over in an instant.

[The housekeeper is arrogant, so the reward is given directly? ][It's just that the official took this opportunity to update a small map, right? ]

[The interior of the castle is built like a maze, because this is also a military fortress, right?Is it really a man to publish the map like this? ]

[Dude, don't take it too seriously, this is the game. ][Isn't this another world? ]

[Do you really believe it?That's just the background of the game. ]

The original old players are still struggling, but the new players have a much firmer and more straightforward understanding of "Space Rift".

[Most areas are still unpublished, a lot of blank space. ]

[Team up, team up!Find people and form a team. Everyone divides the area and finds people separately. You can also share content while reading! ]

[Count me in! ][I! ]

Moria stood aside, observing these summons silently. He really looked like a game NPC who stopped talking after sending out the mission.

Moria thought they would swarm into the castle. Some of them did, but most of them obviously began to gather. Under the leadership of several leaders, they discussed something, and then divided into small groups from the large group. A small team began to memorize a small area of ​​the map. Are they reciting with their eyes closed?After the recitation was over, they entered the castle in batches.

"A long time ago, this place used to be the frontline fortress of the entire Sherfer Empire. Although most of the castle collapsed and collapsed, the remaining part is still magnificent. Be careful, not everyone is willing to leave the castle."

[The butler is very gentle. ][The handsome guy touches his fart! ]

Moria was a complete reminder in good faith, but as a result... the players rushed towards him in an instant. He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at first, but he knew that the players stretched out their small hands to touch him.In fact, when the first hand touched him, he knew that there were really intelligent beings in this world who were so rude.

"Geji!" [Ouch! ]

The players around Moria were shaken away, and when they landed on the ground, they fired Q bombs as usual.

[Sigh... I finally came across a simulation game, but I can't touch it in the end? ] The players who fell on the ground were not angry, but a little disappointed.

[I don’t play anymore, I’ve been thrown by NPCs in various ways today. ][→_→Then you go offline. ]

[Mission, mission, what about the people who formed the team just now?Don't be ridiculous. ][Squad, let's go! ]

The player who landed immediately got up, yelled loudly, gathered with his team, and entered the castle.Before leaving, they even waved to Moria with a happy "Grizzly".

"..." The thoughts of this group of Geji are more difficult for people to understand than the thoughts of goblins. Looking at them, Moria felt that her anger was completely unnecessary.

With the map, players began to search in blocks, but the process was not smooth, the main reason... those NPCs are too scary.

[Think twice. ] Ah Qi, the white cat on the right and the black cat on the left, greets his friends. Not all places in the castle have torches to support the combustion, but Geji Geji should have night vision ability. In the darkness, he can still see the general idea.Ah Qi was sure that the big lump huddled in the corner was a living person, as she approached, she could still hear some strange sounds [! ]

The cat who thinks twice is white on the left and black on the right. She was about to pass by, but Ah Qi shouted again [Wait!do not come! ]

Because of her concern for her friend, Ah Qi shouted, thinking twice, not only did not stop, but the speed was even faster [What's wrong? ]

Run a few steps quickly, the scene in front of you makes you think twice and almost spit out [! ]

A scrawny man, who couldn't tell the difference between male and female, was holding a fluffy thing in his hand, and was biting and swallowing it raw.That thin, odd sound was his sucking and swallowing, made very small by eating so carefully.

[Is this a monster or a mission objective? ] If you think twice about reality, you will definitely turn around and run, but she and Ah Qi are both people who have adapted well to the "game world", and the fear fades away quickly, replaced by excitement beat?No, before we come in, we should go to the brick factory to get a piece of brick, so we won't be helpless now. ]

[Don't be reckless, I think it should be a character target. ]

During their grumbling conversation, the mission target also finished his food, and he wiped his mouth.Ah Qi and Sansi Ruxing took a step back at the same time, they both wanted to stand in front of each other, but bumped into each other.

[I'm going to communicate with him, you back up.Don't haggle, settle it and let's go. ]

What Ah Qi said first, she curled her lips after thinking twice, and could only agree unhappily [Don't worry~ I won't live alone if you die~ Wait for me on the Naihe bridge~ We will reincarnate together in seven days! ]

Ah Qi's nervousness disappeared invisibly in the strange tone of Huyou, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

As she approached, the person who ate something raw and didn't know what was there suddenly stopped: "Is there something wrong?" The hoarse voice seemed to be scraping the glass with his nails, but it could be heard that he was a man.

[The lord called you? ] "Geji Geji?"

Ah Qi bit the bullet and answered, and suddenly realized that the game was set except for the Baron Zhengtai, they and other NPCs in the game could not understand the language, so they could only use body language to signal the other party to follow her.Hope this guy who looks like a zombie is still a little sane, right?

"Did you come to find me on purpose? Yes, just once, not twice."

"Grizzly."

"...This seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. To you, Geji is just one call? It's just one call, not three."

"Grizzly."

"Did the Baron send you to come to me?"

"Geji." Although it was the arrangement of Moria's housekeeper, Ah Qi didn't hesitate at all. The goal of this mission is a little brainy, so it would be better to be able to fool around.

"Okay, I'll go with you." The man's voice was still so hoarse, but he was obviously excited, and there was even a little choking at the end of his voice.

Ah Qi and Sansi Ruxing breathed a sigh of relief, and started walking out with the NPC.

"Gaji! Geji, Geji!" [Help!This TM is a horror game! ]

A player screamed and ran out suddenly.

"Come on! The baron's summons are eating people!"

A man hiding in the castle ran out.

"Aww!" "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Four or five players ran after one person.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Two people ran after four or five players...

The two of them who were just about to lament that their mission object was simple, suddenly heard their mission object ask: "The baron wants to summon everyone? Didn't he summon me alone?"

Think twice [Isn't it that we are going to have a moth here? ]

Ah Qi [No way, I can think of a way to fool around with the language exchange, so I can only nod now.Get ready to get caught. ]

[Um. ]

"Nancy, stop, they are here under the baron's order, if you resist, these little monsters will not come next time." The man suddenly rushed forward two steps, and the two players were ready to pounce When he stopped, he stopped others.

It was a woman holding a child. It was unimaginable that she, who was as skinny as a stick, could run so fast with the child in her arms.But once she stopped, she fell directly to the ground: "Is the baron going to drive us out?"

"The Baron has built another shed, perhaps for us to live in."

"We can't survive outside." The woman began to cry while holding the child.

[Is the child still alive? ] [Like... still panting. ]

The child is more horribly thinner than the woman, with no hair on his big head, and his eyes are closed as if he has been deflated.

"Staying here has offended the baron, and we won't survive tomorrow morning."

The woman sobbed loudly, but she still stood up and did not run away.Under the persuasion of this man, those living people who were driven out from every corner by the players finally stopped resisting.

But looking at these people, the players couldn't be happier.

[The simulation game is too real. ][Heartbeat. ]

[The player's image is so cartoonish, it doesn't fit well with the plot of this dark wind. ]

Everyone was driven to the open space outside the castle, surrounded by men, women and children.A large cauldron was boiling broth outside the isolation circle set up in Moria. These people who were besieged like livestock didn't even care about fear. They gathered at the end closest to the broth, with their eyes closed and their faces full of fear. Intoxicated by the aroma of broth.

Irene stood behind Moria, her head bowed, for her mother, Aunt Madeleine, was also in the circle—she was one of the few able-bodied people.But she didn't raise any doubts from the beginning to the end, and even tried to show obedience as much as possible.

【My lord baron, →_→ Your good butler is not trying to help you, he just wants to observe your summons. ] Butler J passed on what Moria had done to Kunz.

[This is also what it should be. ] Kunz looked at the book, unmoved.

Moria is distributing their quest rewards for the players, and the players got some nice little buttons.

"Brass buttons can read for an hour, silver buttons for two hours, and gold buttons for three hours. You can trade. I only recognize buttons."

[This is cufflinks, right? ][No, it is a button, and there is a small hole for threading here at the back. ]

[I also want to fool a few more, how did he know that we acted in groups in the castle? ]

[Does this still need to be asked?Because he is an NPC. ]

[Go, move the bricks. ][Don't, let's see what this NPC is going to do. ]

[Yes, don't go, the plot of this game is not repeated, it's over when it's over. ]

[Buy buttons!Buy buttons!Five thousand copper buttons, ten thousand silver buttons, and fifteen thousand gold buttons! ]

[Game currency?How to get game currency in this game? ][I heard that the bosses can exchange copper coins for hunting, but so far...]

[RMB. ][Fuck! ? ]

[Money first, goods later. ]

[Then I'll log off...] [Don't log off!Once you get off, you won't be able to get back up! ][You came up as soon as you grabbed the activation code?Didn't read the update announcement on the official website? ][Then how do you know that you really paid? ]

[If you want to sell, find a trustworthy second test player, they can go online and offline normally.I call him the money, and you go offline to ask him to transfer the money.Of course, this may require a little hard work for the old players. In order to prove that I bought it sincerely, I will pay all the hard work for the first time, and then we will share it. ]

The process is a bit cumbersome and costs more money, but players are still willing to give it a try.As for finding second-test players, those anchors who broadcast live before are all second-test players, and the character of a few of them is still trustworthy, or in other words, they will not ruin their reputation for such a small amount of money .

As for the previously discussed matter of everyone forming a team and then going in to read the information according to the time... the team leader didn't mention it, and neither did the other players.Players who sell or don't sell are divided into several small groups to discuss with each other.

Deep Sea Fish is leading the players in the catering group to deliver soup to those leaders, but she feels like she is feeding animals, or the kind of wild animals that are still in shock and have no trust in humans.Obviously they are all... oh, by the way, she is not human.

The soup is placed on the ground and pushed into the isolation cover.

How happy they were just now smelling the aroma of the broth, but now looking at the wooden bowl full of broth, how terrifying these people are.

"The baron wants to poison us?!" Someone yelled sharply, and everyone hid away from the wooden bowl. They huddled together, and some even fell to the ground. Fortunately, there were not many people, so at most they got kicked twice , there were no serious casualties.

Moria ignored those of his kind, and he was still watching the summons—these noisy little guys, with great curiosity and compassion, but their attention was very inattentive.They do have their own civilization, have a collective concept, and know how to act in unison.But what is amazing is that there is no concept of hierarchy and dignity?

There is no hierarchy, no dignity, and this civilization should not be too developed. In an equal world, resources cannot be allocated rationally, the outstanding cannot stand out, and the mediocre are still mediocre.

But will that change as their exposure to the world increases?

Kind of looking forward to it.

Think twice and Ah Qi are still two college students. It is the summer vacation, and they both got gold buttons, [-] each. The temptation for them is quite big, but after the two discussed it, they did not sell it. Drop the button.

[We will go to the East Tower in a while. ][Um! ]

Buttons are valuable, but intelligence is even more valuable.This unique simulation game will definitely not stop at 100 people online at the same time, as long as they get some valuable information in the future, then the profit will not stop there.

Finally a servant stood up to drink the broth. This man was so hungry, he picked up the broth numbly and drank it in one gulp. Tears welled up immediately, leaving two white grooves on his dark face.The man began to choke and sob, and the smell of the broth made him realize that he was finally alive.

He picked up the broth and poured it down his throat. The deep-sea fish couldn't help grinning, afraid that he would scald himself to death.

With one person, there are more people, even though they still suspect that the lord wants to poison them to death, they drink the broth with their eyes closed, but they still choose to drink the soup.

"The baron needs you to work, and everyone does."

People are relieved that they are not killed if they are asked to work.But then someone started crying "we're going to die of exhaustion".

"Good job, you can get not only broth, but also wheat cakes, some of you have got these in the previous few days." It's just that these lowly people don't want to share with others, just want to be alone It's just to enjoy the benefits. "Those who don't work will not only get no food, but will also be driven out of the castle and exiled to the wild. Do you understand?"

People flinched, nodded in horror, and stopped crying.

"And, starting today, all of you are prohibited from entering the castle without being summoned. Violators will be locked in a dungeon, and you can only live in two straw houses."

Ignoring the despair on the faces of many people, Moria began to arrange their work, but after he finished the assignment, a man suddenly stood up: "Master Steward, I apply for management of road construction!" He reminded others, and everyone immediately responded Applying to become a manager, he was even pressed to the ground by a group of people. The man struggled and shouted with all his might, "I am the servant of Scholar Anthony! I can read and write! I can count—"

The person on top of him flew out, ignoring the pain in his body, he immediately got up: "I am Raimondo, loyal to the baron, good day, baron. I can read, write, and count."

Ah Qi and Sansi Ruxing let out small cheers, they recognized this man, he was the one who helped persuade many others.

"Write on the ground from 1 to 10."

"Yes, Master Steward!" Raimondo immediately squatted on the ground and wrote the numbers with his fingers.

The players also squatted over, and some players also gestured on the ground while watching. These numbers are more complicated than the Arabic numerals on the earth, and when they are written alone, they will not think it is a number, but it looks like a pattern.

[It is quite difficult to write it out. ] [I agree. ]

[What is the use of learning this?Isn't there a translation? ][What if there is something like Quest in the future? ]

[Learn more, it will always be useful. ][This world view is rich enough. ]

"Very well, you are in charge, and you can get an extra reward. But remember, if you dare to embezzle the baron's property, you will be skinned and hung on an ant nest while you are still alive .”

[The housekeeper turned out to be a sick girl? ][Love love love!This momentum is good! ]

"Yes, I will cherish my mission." Raimondo heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground. He wanted to laugh happily, but he didn't know what he remembered, so he couldn't stop crying.

"Madeleine."

"Yes! Master Steward!" Compared with the quarrels and crowding of other people, Aunt Madeleine has always been calm and respectful, standing alone on the side.Because of her confidence, even if the new cooks pushed her out of the kitchen, their mother and daughter still had a room in the castle, and those cooks would send them a portion of food every day even if they were black-faced.

——Little Kunz became a noble baron and the master of the barony, but he didn't want to completely wipe out those who knew his life experience. He even remembered the kindness of the past.

Later, Irene had the status of the baron's personal maid, which made several newcomers who coveted her disappear automatically.Now Erin is the housekeeper again.

Aunt Madeleine didn't think the Baron would poison her, and sure enough, she got a good job.

"You're in charge of leading the others to clean up the castle, including taking the trash downstream for dumping. Downstream, understand?"

Thinking of the three unlucky beheaded servants, Aunt Madeleine suddenly became less sure.
