Chapter 982: I Want Them All!
The music was very loud, and the melody felt more accurate than grandiose, perhaps passionate. It sounds a bit like some kind of marching song or a song that celebrates the triumphant victory of a lieutenant general.
More specifically, An's finger can't tell the difference, this thing is a complete music idiot in terms of music appreciation.
For example, let him buy a stereo, what hi-fi, what 5.0, Lao Tzu wants one that can make a sound!
"Throw them in first, lest you ruin this moment."
Jim turned around and admonished, then took out a rag from his waist and vigorously polished his already shiny armor more brightly, and continued to let him wipe it as a mirror.
Then he quickly tidied up his clothes, and his expression was as if he was about to meet his idol.
Not only him, but the crowd of people who originally walked back and forth on the street were also similar, bowing their heads and tidying up, no matter whether they were rich or poor, they at least had to tidy themselves up.
There was no need for an organization at all, they spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, leaving a wide road in between, and looked at the other side of the street with a look of great pride on their faces.
Ann pointed out that they were on Jim's side, and that he and his men were so strong that they couldn't look to the other side, but it didn't take long for them to know what was coming.
The black-clad soldiers held their necks high, marching in unison through the path that the crowd had given them out, waving or nodding like big stars from time to time, followed by a marching band beating drums, the song they had heard before.
It seems that the people here have a lot of respect for the soldiers, and the soldiers who defend their homes and countries certainly deserve respect.
It's just that......
Apple Tea tugged at An Yizhi's robe and said in a low voice:
"Brother An, why do I think the armor styles of these soldiers are a little familiar......?"
"Coincidentally, if you feel familiar, then it proves that it is not my delusion."
Jim didn't hear the two of them whispering, and he didn't look back, as if to explain to Ann, or muttered to himself:
"Someday, I will become one of them, as long as I work in the security team for two years, I can go to the army as an officer, yes, one day!"
He straightened his chest higher and saluted the passing army, with heartfelt yearning and fanaticism in his eyes.
At this moment, everyone felt a slight vibration from the soles of their feet, as if something huge and heavy was slowly approaching.
Then they saw a huge alchemy golem more than ten meters tall and shaped like an armored knight slowly walking behind the soldiers, waving to the surrounding crowd as they walked, provoking enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
This thing is a magic mecha......
An Yizhi is certainly no stranger to this, he also dismantled an ancient elf original in the previous copy, and opened it himself once in a previous copy, although the appearance is more or less different, such as the original V-shaped viewfinder on the head has been replaced with a red round one-eye, in general, there is no difference.
"Transformers? A magical version of Optimus Prime? ”
Red was confused.
"It's Gundam, haven't you seen it?"
"No, it's Zagu 2, model MS06, and One-Eye has proven it."
"Zagu? Shouldn't that be Jean? ”
"Let me ask...... What's your favorite Gundam episode? ”
Apple Tea groaned for a moment:
"Bloodstained Valentine's Day"
Ann and Red heard the resentment in this answer......
No one heard the conversation between the three players, and Jim's serious frenzy was about to overflow after seeing the magic mecha pass by, and Ann Yizhi wanted to complain.
You say you're a Jim, what do you mean by yearning for Zagu so much......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Thirty minutes after the army passed, Jim also said goodbye to the three players, presumably on official duty.
Ann pointed out that they had also listened to Jim's advice and went to the Mirror Lake Bar to find out the news.
This bar is located right next to the lake known as 'Mirror Lake', and the whole town was actually built with love for the lake, and it is surrounded by a semi-enclosed state.
In addition to the wine, the bar's signature dish is naturally a variety of fresh seafood from the lake.
The three players ate and chatted and found a secluded spot in the hall, and Hela stood on the table, chattering to them, apple tea and Redkop to be exact.
This dungeon world is the world where the magic city Endymion is located, and Ann is no stranger to it, and the same is true for apple tea, which he has been here many times.
It's just that every time the two of them enter, they are active near the magic city, and they are directly thrown to the sworn enemy of the magic city, that is, it is the first time on the empire's side.
The full name of the empire is the Jereldan Empire, and it implements a stern doctrine of the supremacy of the powerful.
Whether it is an ordinary person or a powerful king, as long as he has no talent, he is not even qualified to be a rice worm salted fish.
This is related to the fact that the security team caught beggars in the alleys before, beggars are useless people, the empire does not need any useless people, and they will not get any pity.
Such people would be captured as slave laborers, or they would be enlisted in the army as servants, either way, and it would be very difficult to get back into the mix.
The lazy will be completely wiped out in the empire, and useless people have no value in existence, even the prince is no exception.
The empire took this idea to the extreme, and Hela said that there were cases of royalty being relegated to commoners or even slaves due to incompetence, which is unthinkable in other feudal countries.
The empire is martial and practical, which is also related to the foundation of their statehood, which itself is a hegemony of aggression and conquest, and such impersonal high pressure should cause a strong public backlash.
But the fact is that not only did there be no backlash, but the people supported the empire from the bottom of their hearts and were very enthusiastic about joining the army.
This is because the war of the empire has brought tangible benefits to the common people, not to mention material abundance, as well as spiritual satisfaction.
Mortals are pathological creatures who gain satisfaction by oppressing other animals, especially after oppressing their own kind, and the satisfaction gained is considerable.
In the imperial system, the people were divided into four layers, the first was the royal family and the nobility, the second was the citizens, the third was the slave class, and the servant army was the third class. The fourth and lowest slaves were not as good as animals, and their only hope was peace when they died.
Moreover, the national policy of the empire is also quite attractive to the common people. As long as there is ability, everyone has the opportunity to climb up step by step, even the aristocracy has no so-called hereditary replacement, and the incompetent will not hesitate to be abandoned.
Finally, there was a fairly mature patriotic education, which created a fanatical aggressive enthusiasm throughout the empire.
Of course, this part is just background information, and if you are idle anyway, just let Hela help popularize science for Red and Apple Tea, and it has nothing to do with the adventures of the three of them.
The only thing to note is that An Yizhi must not reveal his identity, but he doesn't have to worry about it.
Even though An Yizhi stabbed the empire once last time, he was not wanted, and there were many people who had heard of his name, but not so many people knew his appearance.
Therefore, as long as Ann Yizhi covers the mark belonging to Nikolai on his forehead, he basically does not have to worry about being suddenly caught.
Waiting for Hela to help the two of them popularize the common sense of the empire, Hela rushed back to the dimensional pocket and continued to drink, she stayed outside It is still more eye-catching, and talking birds are rare.
Then Ann tapped on the table and said:
"Now our situation is that no mission has been activated, which means that this copy has a high degree of freedom, and there are now two ways for us to choose."
He pointed to the notice board on the wall on one side of the tavern and said:
"The first is to do the task here.,I just glanced at it twice.,Although there's nothing too difficult.,Most of the rewards are small tasks with a few silver coins.,But according to the system's routine.,After brushing a few small tasks, the real main quest should be activated.,It's not easy to say what it is.,I think it should be in line with the type of ordinary difficulty dungeon.,Presumably the final boss is just a monster up and down level 40.,Kill him and finish.。
Apple Tea and Red are also old fritters, and they know that An Yizhi is right, after all, the ordinary difficulty is at this level.
"What about the other one?"
"The other is to join the army."
The two looked at each other, a little confused.
"This is the special feature of the empire, their army will not refuse any outsiders, as long as we have the ability, we can even mix with the nobility of the Grand Duke."
An Yizhi really didn't talk nonsense, the empire did.
Their national policy is to gather talents for their own use, no matter what their origins, no matter what they originally did, they don't even care if they are human or not, as long as they have the ability and the empire can use them, then they will be reused.
It is true that many adventurers have joined the Imperial army, and now one-third of the thirteen dukes of the Empire have been adventurers from other countries, which shows that this path is indeed feasible.
"Of course, if you want to mix with the nobles, it is definitely not enough to have a copy, I estimate that we will experience a few battles after joining the army, and then there will be a more difficult battle, let us all mix with the title of officer or something, this copy will be over, and it is estimated that it will take several or even a dozen efforts to succeed."
Red drank the ale, frowned, and said:
"But isn't this road too slow?"
"Yes, it's a slow road, but in the end, the rewards will definitely be big."
Apple Tea took over and said:
"On the contrary, if you choose to do the adventurer's mission, although the effect is fast, the income will not be very high, that is, the level of ordinary dungeons."
An Yizhi pointed to the road to the two of them is a choice, if you want to be fast, you choose to take risks, but the benefits are not high, if you want to have high returns, you go to the army, but it will consume a lot of time and be full of uncertainty.
The two were a little entangled and didn't know how to choose.
However, it was still Apple Tea's brain that turned fast, and he greeted him coldly:
"Brother An, if it were you, how would you choose?"
An Yizhi smiled awe-inspiringly:
"I want them all!"
