464. in the first place
The night on the Floating Island is colder than the Earth Realm.
It's not like the dry cold or wet cold that Sean had spent in the South and North Continents before, but more like the cold that he was directly exposed to the ice and snow. This low and cold temperature makes the temperature of the human body constantly decrease, and it is in a low temperature state. Even the inhabitants of the floating islands choose to wear thicker clothes when they go out after dark, and if they sleep in the wilderness, they usually light a bonfire, hold a magic power hand stove or something, and then sleep with their clothes closed.
At this time, Sean was slightly unhappy.
Because he didn't know that he would spend the night in the wilderness of the floating island, and of course he didn't know that the night on the floating island would be so cold. Of course, he didn't have anything to eat like dinner, or any other dry food to eat.
Levi and Alyssa still haven't woken up, which makes Sean a little worried about their situation.
But fortunately, this kind of situation that makes Sean feel depressed and troublesome, at least he is not alone.
In front of Sean, there were twelve students from the Floating Saint Academy. Sean didn't want to pay much attention to these people, but these people were too annoying, so Sean had to tie them all up - the thing that tied them up was the tool that these students carried on their bodies. This tool has a special effect that can seal the fighting spirit and perception, and is one of the standard equipment of the members of the security patrol team on the floating island.
On the floating island, as long as you are not judged to be incompetent, you will basically receive both martial arts and magic training from an early age, but their achievements will be limited by their talents and talents. Therefore, basically everywhere on the floating island, you can see people with a certain strength base. Therefore, the patrol team responsible for the security of the floating island naturally needs to be equipped with some special props, otherwise they will definitely not be able to win against some old guys whose strength has not yet degraded due to aging.
After all, in real combat experience. The new man is never as good as the old man.
It's just that these special devices can seal the vindictive spirit and perception. It also only works against the strong below the Sanctuary.
A Sacred Realm powerhouse like Egger would not be able to play a role.
But Sean didn't care about it, he directly repaired the noisy Egg, and used him as a human cushion, sitting on his ass, ensuring that this guy couldn't escape. And in order to ensure quiet, Sean also stuffed the mouths of these people to make sure they couldn't speak.
"I am a merciful man." Sean reached out and patted Egg, who was sitting under him, "Look. I haven't killed you yet. …… I was supposed to let you talk to me, but you guys refused. Alas, it turned out to be the way it is, and you see why you are doing this. ”
In response to Sean, there was only a whining sound.
"You said you went out and didn't bring any dry food with you, so you don't know what you want to do." Sean held a twig and stirred up the campfire in front of him to make it burn more vigorously.
This campfire. It was Sean who asked a few students to go to the nearby to collect the firewood that was lit. He wasn't afraid of these people running away, Sean could see that Egger had a very high status in their hearts, and people like this were affectionate and righteous if they spoke nicely, and stupid when they said badly. With their strength, they will not be Sean's opponents at all. If it falls on his hands, it can't turn up the wind and waves at all, so the right thing to do is to choose to run away when he is out of Sean's sight. Or go to the ventilation to report the news.
But instead of doing this, these guys acted like puppets. Obediently listen to Sean's orders.
It's just that Sean thought that if William or Cecilia and Alfred's followers fell into the hands of the enemy. He's sure he'll do the same. So naturally there is no position to laugh at these guys, after all, no one is born nobler than others, and no one is necessarily stupider than others.
It's just that I pity these students from the Floating Saint Academy.
Egg wanted to open his mouth to refute Sean, but his mouth was also stuffed with a rag that Sean didn't know where to go, so he could only glare at Sean a few times with resentment. He didn't expect that he would also be reduced to a prisoner one day. To add insult to injury, he and the other teams are in the vanguard nature, each responsible for exploring and patrolling an area, so that means they won't have any support.
At least until tomorrow, no one will know that something happened to their team.
"Tell me what's going on here." Sean was probably bored, so he reached out and ripped the rag off Egger's mouth again, and whispered, "Levi told me something about the Floating Island, so I know the situation is unusual. ”
"You ......"
Before Iger could say anything, Sean shoved the rag into his mouth again: "If you want to make a noise, then don't blame me for plugging your mouth again." ”
"Woo ......"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sean reached out and pulled the rag out again, "Say it." ”
Egg looked at Sean and opened his mouth, but he was probably afraid of Sean's might, so he didn't choose to continue to fight Sean in the end. This made Sean a little dissatisfied, why are the guys on the floating island so realistic and sober, according to his understanding of the "normal powerhouses" in this world, if these guys are suppressed by a person of the same realm, their first reaction is absolutely unbelievable, and then they are unwilling to admit defeat, even if they are defeated, they will definitely continue to struggle and resist.
Egger's expression is not at all like the "normal strong man" that Sean understands.
"Because there is a rebellion." Iger spoke.
"Rebellion?" Sean was a little surprised, "What's going on?" …… It doesn't seem that the scope of your floating library is very large, and there are still people who have committed mutiny? ”
The Floating Library is composed of 12 large land plots and 36 small land plots.
It's hard to say how fast the area of twelve large landmasses is, the largest one is even the size of the current Void Duchy, and the smallest one is the size of a marquisate. The thirty-six small land parcels are basically the same size: equivalent to a standard barony.
Such an area of land. And the front and back are still high in the air, unlike the territory of the land realm, you can escape to other noble territories. So carpet search has become a feasible policy. Judging from Sean's experience in managing Pandaling, he probably only needs to invest about a thousand people. It is possible to do a carpet exploration of the entire small land mass.
"You're from the realm, aren't you?" Iger didn't answer Sean's question, but asked.
"Yes." Sean didn't deny it, after all, there was no point in such a thing.
"Our rebellion here is not the same as the rebellion in your realm." Egg spoke, but his tone seemed a little helpless, "These lands at the bottom are the places where those who have violated the laws of the Floating Island are exiled, and they need to do hard work here. …… But not everyone will feel guilty, they will only resent the floating island. So every now and then, some people will rise up and make trouble. ”
"Oh." Sean raised an eyebrow, and his brain began to work rapidly.
The incident of encountering the rebels as soon as he entered the floating island was definitely not an accident in Sean's opinion. Although in the game era, I have never heard of anyone logging in to the floating island, but the official information given by the floating island also proves that this place is not just a background information, and you can definitely get related quests here, and it is even possible that there are "dungeons" saved zài.
Now, judging by the information obtained by Sean Tong Guò Levi and Elisa, the existence of the Black and White Holy Land. I'm afraid it's the so-called "copy".
So the current incident of encountering the rebels so coincidentally, will it be a "mission"?
The exploration of the unknown is something that every player is very passionate about.
Sean, of course, is no exception.
Sean's knowledge of the Earth Realm has been far beyond this era for many years. At least the changes and larger historical events in the next ten years are under Sean's control. But for the floating island, Sean is really in a state of complete unknown.
Plus. It's been a long time since Sean has done an activity similar to a dungeon, which makes Sean really itch.
Of course. The main thing is one more point.
The previous trip to the Northern Continent, especially the final battle of fate. The pressure on Sean was just too much. Maybe he never came out of his voice, and he never mentioned it to anyone, but the battle that can be called the strongest combat force in the world was absolutely indescribable. In that battle, he deeply felt his weakness and powerlessness, even if he was already a grand duke, and even had the strength to influence local wars, but in the top-level power pattern battle, he was a small existence after all, let alone becoming a chess player, it was impossible to even control the situation.
Sean doesn't think that he came into this world to be a pawn.
"Tell me, I want to know what's going on." Sean spoke in a deep voice, trying his best to suppress a certain desire in his heart. Hopefully, speak in a nonchalant tone as much as possible.
Egger glanced deeply at Sean again, he had originally relied on his perception to step into the realm of the Holy Realm, so he naturally had a very subtle sense of Sean's change in mentality at this time. Egg may not be the most popular person on the island, but he can be considered one of the most perceptive people on the island, as almost no one can fool him.
"We don't know exactly how many rebels there are." After a long silence, Iger finally chose to speak, "But the scale of this rebellion is the largest in the history of Floating Island. In total, more than 20 small land parcels of criminals were involved, and the size is likely to be close to 10,000. ”
"Ten thousand?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and the amount that came out of Egg's mouth seemed to be a little beyond Sean's estimate.
The scale of 10,000 people, even in the land boundary, is already a large-scale turmoil.
Judging from the chaotic law and order in the past of Pandaling, the size of those bandit groups was only two or three thousand people. In the later period, after Panda and several surrounding territories were occupied by Sean, the occasional bandits and robbers were only a few hundred people, never thousands. So the scale of 10,000 people, this is enough to destroy all the gathering points below the city level, and if these people take down a military facility such as a fortress, then the destruction will be even more terrifying.
And this qiē is still based on the level of ordinary people.
Judging from the contact with Egg and others, as well as what Levi and Alyssa have said, the strength of these 10,000 people is not low even if they are not low, and they are obviously all from the Floating Saint Academy or the Babylon Babel Magic Tower, which means that these people are not only not low in strength, but also not weak in terms of tactical awareness.
"Even if it's a reconnaissance team, only thirteen people are not large, right?" Sean spoke.
"We would have been close to a hundred." Egger's tone suddenly became a little sad, "But there have been several encounters around the past few days, and a number of people have been arrested. Other than that...... We've also lost a lot of manpower. We don't know where these guys got their weapons. ”
"I see." Sean suddenly understood why he was considered an enemy in the first place.
The criminals who were originally exiled to these places would certainly not have weapons. And because of some special habits of the floating island, to say that it is exiled is actually a little harder than ordinary people - in the realm of the earth, its status is probably equivalent to that of a slave. It's just that the slaves in the realm have no human rights, and those who are exiled to work can still enjoy the treatment of normal people, that is, they have to go out early and return late every day.
The most important thing is that no one will guard these criminals - on the floating island, everyone is conscious. Of course, at the end of the month, if you can't hand over the resources and materials agreed upon at the time of exile, then there will definitely be a punishment.
But now, these mutineers have gotten their hands on weapons, and they have become dangerous.
And Sean, a person who shouldn't have been here, suddenly appeared, not only with a weapon in his hand, but also with Levi and Alyssa who were in a coma, if this is not suspicious, then probably no one can really be called suspicious. Even Sean himself thinks that it is completely irresponsible for Iger not to take himself under such circumstances.
But come to think of it, Sean is not such an honest person.
As a result, there is now the thing that teaches Egger and others to be people.
"I guess I understand." Sean nodded slightly, he could basically confirm that this rebel incident was probably a trigger-type mission.
As for the size of 10,000 people, this is probably the aftermath of the game - if a player sets foot on a floating island and triggers this mission, their first instinct will definitely be to move troops from the guild. But now, in this world, Sean can be regarded as alone, but the difficulty of the task has not been reduced because of this, so this is a bit difficult. (To be continued......)
