Chapter 1: Adventurers
[-Did you know?] γ
[No matter what stage of civilization or what era, there will be a group of people named adventurers.
Their names may not have been adventurers at the time, and what they did was not what most people imagine today.
But in any case, in essence, no matter what age or race, the so-called adventurers are the same kind of people in the final analysis.
In the wilderness of ancient civilizations, adventurers were the first to try chewing herbs, the first to try eating all kinds of strange creatures.
During the primitive tribal period, adventurers were those who traveled around in search of new places to live, and traveled to various dangerous and unknown areas.
In the later city-states and even in the present period, adventurers still exist, exploring dangerous forests full of monsters, forging safe paths under the greedy prying eyes of the beasts of the wasteland, and taking ships large and small, breaking through the waves of the sea to find new lands one after another. γ
Starfall 839, May 3rd, noon.
In Moldavia, the northern land of the Northern Empire, in a small house in the southern city.
Priest took the wrist embedded with the information terminal, and nodded with satisfaction after debugging the newly installed 2.7th generation of the special information module for external exploration.
"Finally there is a function of automatic scanning and analysis of unknown substances, as well as the ability to communicate with spiritual cross-language species, it seems that the big man above has successfully parsed a lot of black fog ability modules, and the recent upgrades are really frequent."
With this to himself, Priest got up from the chair in front of his work desk, and after tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror, he stepped out of his bedroom door and headed downstairs.
"Brother, are you going on a mission again?"
A soft girl's voice came from a corner of the first floor, and Priest turned his head to see his sister Britney sitting at the dining table with a small potted plant in front of her. She seemed to be staring at the potted plant in a daze, but the sound of Priest coming downstairs interrupted the process, and drew the girl's attention to the fact that her brother seemed to be leaving again.
"yes." Priest stepped forward and kissed Britney on the forehead, he grabbed his sister with one hand, and asked a little funny, "What?" Haven't sensed the forces of nature yet? As I said, if you want to improve in nature, you need to go outside more, and it is impossible to experience nature for a long time in a daze with potted plants. β
"But the teacher said that it is okay to use potted plants during the enlightenment period!" Britney was a little dissatisfied with her brother's attitude, she slapped the table with both hands, and said with some indignation: "It's obviously this grass that looks down on me!" β
Priest looked at the silverleaf pine seedlings in the potted plant in front of him, and then at Britney, who was still staring at the potted plant with all her might, and decided to wait a moment to tell her the difference between the sapling and the grass.
The children's nurseries of the various colleges in Moldavia, or alternative kindergartens and primary schools, are now experimentally beginning to teach some knowledge about supernatural powers, and through physical examinations and quizzes, experienced tutors will roughly determine the talents of each child and provide them with the appropriate resources as much as possible.
Britney's school is such an experimental elementary school that has received special instructions. And Britney herself, in the test conducted by the elf teacher a few days ago, found the most suitable path for herself - the druid line about the forces of nature.
To be honest, when the elven elder contacted him personally, Priest was still a little incredulous: it turned out that his sister was also a genius? According to the other party's words, Britney has a natural affinity that is rare in a hundred years, and only needs a little training to achieve something stronger than the elf.
"Do your ancestors have elven blood?" These were the Elder's straightforward words, and this was the norm in this world of bloodline confusion.
Of course, now it seems that little Britney's exercise is still growing, and the first thing to do is to seriously tell her the difference between grass and trees.
"Remember to come back early."
Britney, who was staring at the potted plant, noticed that Priest was already planning to go out, so she raised her head and muttered a little reluctantly: "Next month is my birthday, if you don't come back, I will definitely not be sad!" β
In this regard, Priest, who had already opened the door, smiled slightly: "It's just an ordinary exploration of the other world of life, don't worry-I have prepared a special birthday gift for you, you can be curious now!" β
With that, he closed the door with a smile and strode towards the Champion Academy in the center of the city.
[ββAdventurers are always there, they are always there, and the flood has simply become common knowledge in the world. γ
[They slay monsters, complete tasks entrusted by others, adventurers travel the world in small teams, for a rumor, a message, for a noble or ordinary goal and wish. There are countless adventurers like this in this era, and there are even some strong ones among them.
To be honest, it's actually really strange, if it's just a desperate person to take risks, why do strong people become adventurers? Obviously, they only need to stay in their homeland, stay in the kingdom of mankind, and they can have a lot of wealth, and it is easy to find a spouse who meets the requirements, and then leave more children, and build a foundation that may be strong or loose.
Whether you think about it from the perspective of pure biological instinct or material comfort, the existence of adventurers is actually incredible. γ
Priest walked down the street, the midday news was playing on the LCD screens on the streets, and the streets were lined with all sorts of races and characters: elven druids and archers, fish-people and wavebreakers from the East China Sea, human warriors, wanderers, and occasionally a few dwarven warriors wearing armor even on the streets, with brass rings and brass rings on their beards and hairβeven mages were not uncommon, and they were in groups of threes and fives, discussing some matters with the shopkeeper in an alchemy shop.
[After merging the seven principalities and two kingdoms, the supreme leader of the Principality of Roman, Grand Duke Fidel Roman, is expected to be crowned emperor in November this year, before that, the 'Giant Two-legged Walking Puppet' developed by him in cooperation with the Rock Dwarves, the giant combat weapon called 'Titan' or 'Thor' by many people has entered the vision of many countries in many great victories, and this kind of sacrifice in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground' The Titan Soldier's extremely similar magical golem has terrifying combat power, and the personnel involved have spoken out that they have reason to believe that Grand Duke Roman may have obtained the blueprints of the Ancient Titan Soldier. γ
[The fourth solemn statement of the Business Alliance......]
Such a diverse atmosphere can only be seen in Moldavia in the Northlands, or in the fortress cities on the borders of several major powers. These people of all kinds, races, beliefs, customs, habits, and even personalities have come here because of a person's name, perhaps because they want to get a chance from that person's hands, or they are simply tired, and in this theory it is one of the safest places in the world to live and retire.
Priest was originally the latter, but he is now the former - the young warrior has entered the castle gate of the Champion Academy, and the original guard is already familiar with him, after seeing Priest pass the verification, the other party waved his hand casually, signaling the other party to hurry up and enter, don't waste the time of the two.
Therefore, Priest entered the castle of the Champion Academy smoothly, and went directly to the top floor, and came to the special teleportation room at the top of the castle.
It is rumored that in every large branch of Wintercastle Academy, there is a mysterious room that is not allowed to all ordinary students, they are either located on the top floor, in the basement, or even near the cafeteria, but no matter where they are located, these rooms are never open to ordinary students, even if they are instructors, few people can enter.
The students speculated that the room might be some kind of high-secret laboratory, or a passage to the secret room of the academy, and some even swore that it was the exclusive lounge of the deans of this college, and it might be directly connected to the Lord's Mansion and the Imperial Royal Mage Association, because he saw the Archmage of Time and Space and the Earl walk out of it.
In fact, he guessed correctly, of course, the portal is connected to the lord's mansion and the imperial capital, and not only that, but it is also connected to more mysterious places...... For example, the headquarters of the Empire's Department of External Exploration, and for example, a Void Ship called the Gransefar.
"Yo, captain, are you here?"
In the teleportation room, there were already a lot of people, four of them were sitting together, wiping and maintaining their weapons, armor and all kinds of strange fragmentary magic props, one of them was a tall and sturdy man who stood up in surprise after seeing Priest's arrival, and waved at him, while the other three people also stopped what they were doing for a while and looked at each other with a smile.
The knight and the priest because the soul abyss ball completely preserved the soul, it can be regarded as a complete resurrection, and it didn't even affect the strength much, according to the knight's words, after dying once, the dark injuries and various hidden dangers in his body were swept away, and his physical body had a little more potential. But in any case, everyone was able to survive because Priest blocked the original tentacle whipping of the black mist, otherwise, the entire elite team would have been knocked down in the two-dimensional form.
On the other side of the room, there are two dragonmen girls who look exactly the same, and a pair of people who look like brothers and sisters are gathering on the LCD panel to chat, and the entire teleportation room is clearly divided into three areas.
[--The existence of the adventurer itself is very abnormal. γ
[The same is to study hard, sharpen their strength, learn knowledge, and fight with Warcraft again and again, the strong people who stay in human society are definitely many times stronger than adventurers, and they will become everyone's guardians in the fight against the Demon Tide, and be supported and worshiped by everyone. They will become the top of the ruling class, with great power, and gradually control their tribes, city-states, and even kingdoms and empires.
The royal families of the countless principality kingdoms in the West Mountains, and even the Dalmond royal family of the Northern Empire, have stood out in this way and become the royal bloodline passed down through the generations.
On the other hand, those who go to distant places to explore, adventure, and search for new continents will not have any reputation, at least not the vast majority of them, who are located in dangerous areas far away from human society, live a life of isolation and solitude, dancing on the tip of a knife every day, playing hide and seek with death.
However, there are still many strong people who choose to go far away, to the uninhabited Jedi, to fight all kinds of powerful monsters, and to pursue all kinds of legendary wonders and treasures. γ
"Come, Mr. Syndicate, open your mouth."
At the innermost end of the room, Lisa smiled and raised the spoon in her hand, trying to shove a spoonful of powder with an obvious otherworldly smell into the syndicate's mouth, and as she stuffed it, she whispered, "After eating this bowl, we will continue to design your new human form...... Don't worry, the Infernal Devourer's glandular powder has a flesh-dissolving effect, but for you, it will only turn into the first ball of flesh, and you won't die. β
And now the syndicate in Lisa's form was stuffed with a mouthful of devouring beast gland powder that was enough for ordinary people to dissolve and collapse on the spot after resisting to no avail, and his eyes were teary: "But Lisa, I really don't know what form to become!" β
"Whatever Mr. Syndicate chooses, I like it - not too ugly, not too weird, not too much like me!"
On the side, Ivan and Amira seem to have long been accustomed to the interaction between Lisa and the syndicate, and the two of them are whispering to each other about something while changing the LCD screen.
"Karin and Nick have gone into retreat, and Alva has also returned to the imperial capital, where his majesty the emperor has been assessed on his learning achievements in the last year."
Ivan switched the monitor to the 'National News Channel' and whispered, "The team is left with the two of us, and now we can only live this boring and decadent life." β
"You can also go to retreat, exercise your body, learn how to use a sword." Amira, on the other hand, snatched the remote control and switched the display to the 'Mage Weekly Special Program Channel', she turned her head quite seriously and said to her brother: "As a disciple of an adult, brother, you couldn't use swordsmanship to single out that poisonous swamp dragon last time, and finally relied on elemental enchantment to defeat the other party, which is really embarrassing!" β
"But we're mages, aren't we?" Ivan always felt that something was wrong: "Although it is a little strange to say that the disciple of the legendary warrior is a mage......"
"It's strange brother, right? The mage was supposed to use a two-handed sword! β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
On the other side, the syndicate made a humiliating sound.
"Don't, don't stuff it, I really can't eat it!" "There's still half a bowl left, come, dear, open your mouth."
Priest could hear everyone in the room, and he smiled and shook his head, and instead of speaking, he came to his own ranks.
"The fifth expedition is about to begin."
He said succinctly, "Are you ready?" β
"Oh!! Of course! β
Everyone cheered, and all five of them were in high spirits, and even the knights and clerics who had already died once had no fear of the dangerous quest - they might be cautious in awe of a strange world, but they would never be senseless in fear of the unknown.
[ββA powerful adventurer, whose life is always emotional. γ
[Also in their teens and twenties, a highly potential adventurer has been trained and started to adventure, and since then he has wandered outside his hometown, completing various commissions, exploring countless desperate situations, and they have become more and more powerful, they can open up distant territories for the country, explore mysterious desperate places, and they may also leave a lot of magnificent legends. In such a life, if it is a good death, the adventurer can return to his hometown safely and become a respected person, but if he dies in a foreign country, or is injured and cannot go back, then he can only regretfully fall in the uninhabited wilderness, buried in a land that is not his homeland.
In addition to friends, in addition to the familiar circle of strong and adventurers, ordinary people may not know who these people are and what contributions they have made.
But if it were the same person, the same age, and the same strength, the adventurer did not choose to take risks, but stayed in his homeland to hone his martial arts, join the guild or the army, and lead the team to resist the danger of the demon tide, he would participate in the war against the Chaos Black Forest, and he may still be fighting on the front line of the battlefield until the last moment of his life. If such a strong man dies well, then countless of his students and soldiers will mourn for him, and if he dies in battle, the whole country will share the same hatred, and he will definitely have a dignified and dignified funeral, and his life will be written into history and remembered.
He will even have his own statues, stories, legends and even a family. His fame will live on forever.
is the same contribution to civilization, the same is fighting Warcraft, but the two lives are so different.
These two choices are part of becoming great, but the gap between them is too big, like a deep valley barrier. γ
[But, even so, the adventurer's life is so bumpy. γ
Priest put on his armor and he put on his helmet.
The young warrior gave a low and clear command.
"Start preparing."
As he spoke, he raised the crystal shield on the side, and with this order, the entire elite exploration team quickly sorted out all kinds of weapons, equipment and props in their hands, and then lined up in a neat line without any hesitation or hesitation, standing in front of Priest.
"Let's go!"
The five of them walked in unison, one after another into the space-time gate - they would be directly teleported to the Gran Saifa Void Boat, and then to the target world this time by the power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, everything was easy to grasp, and no one had the slightest hesitation.
Priest, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up behind his helmet, his gaze flowing with flames similar to those of his teacher.
- Yes, that's it, knowing that I will have such a life.
Even so.
Generations of brave people have resolutely gone to the unknown distance far from home.
