Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hapless Payer

'Actually a player?' I didn't expect there to be players here now? Barrett was clearly a little unconvinced of his eyes. However, after repeatedly confirming that this was not his hallucination, he began to decide to take the initiative to go and say hello - after all, the other party did it so obviously, wouldn't it be in order to attract possible compatriots?

The player logo flashed above Barrett's head as he walked to the player's table, and he snapped his fingers at the bartender, "Have a mushroom drink!" ”

The Transit Station is a long way from the surface, and the cost of access to the Dark Regions is high. Therefore, in addition to the fact that the prices here are much higher than those on the surface, it also makes the materials underground seem not so abundant. First of all, we must ensure the supply of necessities, and the rest can only be piggybacked.

So the supplies of pleasure such as booze, which come from the surface of the earth, will never meet the needs of the intelligent creatures in the transit station, especially when there are a large number of dwarves living here. In order to cope with this situation, the residents of the transit station had to use local materials to solve the problems at hand.

And mushroom wine is the result of this. In fact, many of the Underground races have created this kind of wine before and after - whoever makes the environment of the dark region, those special fungi are the best crops. Also because different races have their own strains and crafts, the mushrooms from the dark regions on the surface have a variety of flavors and prices.

Of course, the mushroom wine in this transit station is not the kind of thing with fluctuating prices. Otherwise, the dwarves who find that the price is different from what they imagined when they pay will definitely use the hammer in their hands to teach everyone in the tavern how to behave.

And after seeing the flash of light in Barrett's head, the player was obviously stunned for a moment. Then the expression on his face could be described as ecstasy: "Player." It's really a gamer! ”

I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fierce Barrett. He gestured to the player logo above his head: "Friend! Do you want to be so longing for us compatriots by lighting the light bulb all the time? ”

"You've just arrived here today! So there's no way to understand how I've felt during this time! After a few deep breaths, the man in front of him was able to speak normally, "I've been here for almost half a year. I haven't seen a single player in half a year, and you won't understand the loneliness. ”

"Wait, it's just the game that you can't see the like! You can fill in the void after you go offline! Barrett looked at the player in front of him with a strange look.

As for Barrett's inquiry, the player's face immediately became a little difficult to look at. Obviously, this topic is a sensitive point that he does not want to be touched. Immediately there was silence between the two, apparently the topic had just made both sides a little embarrassed.

However, Barrett quickly broke the ice: "In the lower Barrett, or should I say that the character I am now is Barrett. Boreham. Test inherited players. Follow the convoy of dwarves and gnomes to the forward fortress. At present, we are temporarily resting at this transit station. ”

"Victor. Sain, a paying player. For the time being, I can only make a living in this dark region. "Speaking of which, Victor. Sean shook his empty glass. Then he turned to the bartender and shouted, "One more drink." ”

'Dare to call yourself a paying player, it's not the type of person who usually spends a little money!' Thinking of this man's previous words, Barrett's curiosity was completely aroused by the other party.

Self-proclaimed paying players tend to be the type of player who constantly invests credits in the game - like Clematis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore. Even after joining the Bloodstained Gray Flower Mercenary Group, those two still threw money into the game lavishly.

The duo relied on a large number of generic points to make up for their team's lack of contribution, which also made Barrett and Noodles' wallets gradually bulge - although it was much less than the previous employment agreement. But it's still the God of Wealth of a few people!

So in front of this Victor. If Sain really is the paying player he says he is. Combined with his reaction to the reality part, it really gives Barrett an eerie feeling. He really couldn't think of anyone in that state.

Of course. Since the other party does not want others to touch on that aspect of the problem, Barrett naturally will not be bored. But compared to the privacy in reality. Players don't think that much of the king in the game. So Barrett casually puts it: "It's true that the absence of communication is lonely." However, there are not many caravans traveling between the dark regions and the surface. But there's still one shift a month. You can take a ride back to the surface! Compared to this place where there is no light of day, there are still more player groups in the Norhan Kingdom. ”

"I think I'd better stay underground for the time being." Victor. As soon as Sain said this, the bartender had already brought the two of them drinks to the table. He grabbed his cup and drank it with a grunt, interrupting his words in the middle of his sentence.

As if thinking of something, Barrett tried to ask, "Are you in trouble in the Norhan Kingdom?" ”

"It's trouble on the surface, but it's not mine, it's the trouble that this character himself brings." Victor. After putting down the wine glass, Sein immediately became a little gritted his teeth, "I spent a lot of money to choose the nobility of this big family. As a result, I was actually cheated by the system......"

The House of Sain held the title of viscount in the southern kingdom of Cruze. The family owned a large number of estates in the Kingdom of Cruze and a chamber of commerce dealing mainly in agricultural products. Although it is not a monstrous power, it is quite influential. However, like the vast majority of players, the system will never make players feel at ease after spending money to choose such a big background.

Compared to Claudia, who was only slightly excluded. Auditore, and those who need to prove themselves. Victor. When Sain enters the game, he is already on the run. As a loser in the family struggle, the victorious side stretched out its fangs to him.

"Seriously, if I hadn't fled the Cruze Kingdom in Nohan when I was born. I had no chance of escaping the attackers. "Speaking of which, Victor. Sain didn't know whether to rejoice or not.

I heard the words of the other party. Barrett really doesn't know what expression to use to face it! After holding back a smile, he tentatively asked, "Since this character has caused so much inconvenience. So why don't you choose to switch to a different mission! It doesn't take too long to wait after deleting it! ”

"Nope! Never! I'm not going to let the system's machinations succeed. It's not a problem for me. "Victor who said this. Sain, drink the mushroom wine that was left in the glass. Then the quilt was handed in the direction of the bar: "Another drink." ”

Barrett, who was holding the wine glass, shook his head while drinking after hearing the other party's statement. Wait until the other party is not so excited before he speaks: "The Cruze Kingdom's Sein is not very strong. They shouldn't be able to reach into the kingdom of Norhan! Are you sure you really need to hide in this dark place? ”

"You're underestimating those guys." Speaking of which Victor is. Sein held out his finger, "Although they can't send too many men to search for me in the kingdom of Norhan, they have secretly put a very high bounty on my character's head. ”

"Bounty hunters and killers? Those guys are really in trouble! Barrett, who nodded, understood the player's difficulties.

Victor. Sain put down the wine glass in his hand: "Man, you're quite experienced!" Those haunting guys have too smart noses. When I was in Nohan's territory, they found me several times. If it weren't for luck. Maybe all the Resurrection Stones will be consumed. ”

'What a stubborn man!' But what is it that makes him so insistent. Or what is the reason why he does not give up on his current character! Barrett's mind began to ponder again, but he hid it well, and the expression on his face did not change.

Immediately afterwards, Barrett changed the other party's meaning and said: "It seems that after entering the game, you have suffered a lot!" But strictly speaking, this is also the territory of the Kingdom of Nohan."

"I'm afraid not many people agree with that kind of thing. That's right! When I first entered the game, I did suffer a lot. "Said Victor. Sein tapped his chest with his finger: "And this guy's life record and his constant runaways have taught me that if you want to be a good person, you have to be worse than a bad person!" It's just that I don't have the capital to harm the enemy now, so I can only hide underground for the time being. But the experience here is good, and sooner or later I'll go back and make those guys look good. By the way, let the system understand. This hardship could not shake my faith. ”

"That's right, Victor. Sein, I would like to ask if you are the heir to the family? And this character before it was taken over by you. Did you do something out of the ordinary? Hearing this, Barrett suddenly had the idea of wanting to help the other party.

Victor. Sein shook his head: "No! The inheritance of my character is ranked fifth by the way. But the previous heirs of this mission are now all dead at the hands of the one in power. As for the second question, what should I say? Before I took over, this character should have been a little pedantic and kind! ”

A slightly pedantic kind person, combined with his later inheritance, this kind of setting is not impossible in the game. Thinking of this, Barrett nodded, "Then do you have your identification and family pedigree with you?" ”

"Proof of identity and genealogy?" Victor. Sein then nodded, "When I first took over, this character kept these pieces of paper close to him!" I don't know what role they can play now, but I'll keep it. ”

"Didn't your characters tell you what they did?" Barrett was surprised.

Victor. Sein scratched his head, "Isn't it just used to prove the nobility of the characters and the inheritance system of the Sain family?" If I hadn't been kicked out, I would have been able to use them to do something in the Cruze Kingdom. But now, unless I kill the current Viscount of Sein, who wants me, they will only be temporary useless proof. ”

"Nope! They will be very helpful for you to solve your current dilemma. Barrett accentuated his tone, "But if you want them to work, you can't stay in the Dark Regions. As for the risk of returning to the surface of the kingdom of Nohan, you need to take care of it yourself. ”

"Do you have an idea?" Victor. Sain obviously didn't expect to meet a random player, and actually said that there was a way to change his current situation. But whether this statement is true or false, Victor. Sain felt that he still needed to make more confirmation.

Barrett nodded: "That's right! I do have some ideas. And there is operability. Of course I'm just making a suggestion on what to do or not to do Victor. Sain, think about it yourself. ”

"I'll assess the risks myself." Victor. Sain understood the reason for Barrett's words, "You don't have to worry about that, if I was an impulsive person, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape here and avoid those guys." ”

"First of all, you have to take those documents to the 'Church of the Lords of the Notars' to prove your identity, even if you do not inherit the title. But if your actual inheritance is above the one who has become a viscount, you can claim to be a persecuted exiled nobleman. Barre was quick to speak his mind.
