"Okay...thank you." Rody's voice was a little dry, and he seemed to have suddenly become a little overwhelmed. He glanced around for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "Where is the place to rest?"
As if he had gotten used to his weird question, the scout in front of him pointed to a house not far away, while Rody turned his head and walked away as if he had been pardoned. go down.
"What is this kid crazy about?"
The captain of the first team named Luge curled his lips. He usually scolded and looked down on the group of young people in front of him. Although he felt that "Lodi" was a bit weird at the moment, he didn't bother to think about it. Turning around and seeing the bread left by Rody on the table, he reached out and snatched it, and continued to say something, to the effect that "this little brat knows how to waste food and starve to death sooner or later" or something like that.
But Rody, who walked to the "dormitory", didn't even bother to think about what those guys said, his mind was already filled with information...
I actually went back to nine years ago
The 8th year of Elon's calendar, this is the year when the game "Cracked Earth" has not yet opened... The years that Rody experienced as a player are from the autumn of 590 to the winter of 597-during this period, countless battles took place across the continent, with frequent wars and conflicts among heroes , players have experienced what is called "epic magnificence" in historical events time after time, and this is also an important reason why "cracked soil" lasts for a long time.
Just when the game world he experienced overlapped with the reality in front of him, Rody still had an extremely awkward and unreal sense of illusion in his heart.
"Grandfather's!"
Roddy, who suddenly cursed, reached out to touch his pocket, but soon found that he was not wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and there was no cigarette lighter in his pocket, so he couldn't help but sighed deeply—"What the hell is this thing called!"
From the inexplicable battle after waking up to the discovery that he was not in the "game" now, Rody broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled it... Inertial thinking really almost killed him. If he knew these things now, let him fight Bow and eight arrows coaxed up to kill those orcs, I am afraid that he is definitely not as calm as he showed today.
After all... there is no such thing as "resurrection from the cemetery" in the real world.
Roddy rubbed his head and sat on the hard bed in the low house.
What happened today is really unbelievable. It is really difficult to say that he is in a calm mood... But as a technical nerd, his head is far more realistic than others-if there is a problem, he must come up with a solution, just sigh or It's useless to be in a daze, so Rody immediately began to think about his current situation...
The world we are in right now is by no means a peaceful and prosperous world. From the name of the game "Cracked Earth", we can tell that since the game was launched, territorial wars and power struggles have never stopped. When will a big war stop? , the bastard maker has opened a new expansion piece, allowing players to thoroughly experience the thrill of what is called "turbulent age" in the flames of war...
It’s just that these things are okay to play as games, but it’s really for people to experience it firsthand... Roddy definitely doesn’t think this is a good thing.
Thinking that the timeline of the entire game has not been opened yet, Rody, who has been killing orcs for so many years, suddenly realizes what he has - countless images flashed in his mind... the scene of a large area of land being engulfed by orcs and undead The Karen Kingdom, the disastrous defeat of the legion after being betrayed by the nobles again and again, the incompetence and cowardice of the royal family, the arrogance of the Grand Duke after supporting his troops...
None of this has happened yet!
But then Rody inevitably thought of a handsome face that he would never forget—the words of the young wizard who died for his hometown seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
"As a wizard, although I can choose to continue chasing truth and laws, I choose to stay with you. You should be honored, Roddy."
"You said you could be resurrected? That's really a joke of the creator. Since you can stay here to protect them, why can't I?"
"Roddy! I don't allow you to say that! You can't use our friendship to threaten me, I won't leave!"
"I'm a wizard, of course I know what I'm like... just... before this is all over, can you—kiss me?"
The memory stopped abruptly, and everything stopped at the dark red that could only be seen with blood in the field of vision.
Roddy almost bit his own lip, he suddenly found himself very stupid... and very smart - why do you say that? After Luo Di graduated from a third-rate pheasant university, "cracking the soil" became his only source of income. It is not shameful to say that playing games can earn money to support himself, but the mainstream society does not recognize it, especially when it comes to falling in love Sometimes, this is often the reason for breaking up.
So Rody's girlfriend who had been dating for three years left him just like that. Since then, Rody was seriously injured. As a technical geek, he could only vent all his energy on the game viciously, until he met a "different" NC, And had a brief but unforgettable "friendship" with each other.
At that time, when many players mentioned "Roddy", they would often say—"You mean that master leatherworker? That guy's bow is also good!" or "Yes, that is, the one who is very good at archery and can speak Bullinga perversion!"
Also, "That nerd who treats NC as his girlfriend? Hahahaha—you are doomed to be alone forever!"
There was a time when Roddy was grateful for Crack the Earth's artificial intelligence. Because this game uses a character simulated by a computer program to calm his inner violence and hatred, so that a generation of house gods did not retaliate against the society because of emotional problems.
And with the opening of the new expansion pack, when the orcs tore apart the Karen Kingdom and let that smiling figure completely fall into the flames of war, everything changed...
Regret, anger, Roddy's character has become more extreme than ever. It was because of this change that he changed from a "living player" who only made money by making leather and bows to a V player, and became the first lineup of the entire server in just two years!
But what is gone is gone after all. He once regretted why he didn't transfer to the ranks of V earlier, so that it might be possible to prevent the invasion of orcs and prevent all tragedies from happening—but now... when he saw Nolan Village in front of him, Luo Dee has to thank the son of a bitch for his fate...
He understood that he had a chance to start all over again!
Rody stood up abruptly, wanting to yell, but bumped into the low wooden beam with a "boom", and immediately sat down again, covering his head cursingly. His embarrassment made several comrades who happened to walk into the dormitory a little stunned. Seeing Luo Di speaking a language they could not understand, one of them said: "Lodi, we have to say thank you anyway. My attitude towards you... I hope you don't care too much—"
"it's okay no problem."
Roddy grinned in pain, and didn't take what the other party said to heart, but added two words that made them feel inexplicable:
"By the way, call me Roddy, not Lody."
"I don't like that name before."
..
There is always a faint fragrance of milk in the morning in Nuolan Village.
It was April, and the morning on the grassland was still a bit cool. Some herdsmen in the village milked goats. Although there was a little smell of mutton, for people living in poverty, this could be exchanged for a source of income. precious things.
In the manor of Lord Kirk, the servants were busy as before under the command of the steward, cleaning the pigeon coop and stables, the farmer began to plow the field, the coachman began to transport some crops harvested by the manor to other territories, and the horse-drawn cart was walking on the rough soil. On the road, the creaking sound spread far away.
In the morning mist, the peasants and farmers who got up were also busy, but obviously they had a lot more topics today, and the source was naturally the encounter between the scouts and the orcs yesterday.
What happened to the scouting team yesterday was a major event that shocked the whole village for the villagers of Nolan—the heads of the orcs that Carter brought back had been stuck on the wooden stakes in front of the small square of the village, neatly lined up, smelling like blood. It can be smelled from far away, and as soon as the sun comes out, you can see many mosquitoes and flies crawling tirelessly on the corpse, which attracts many villagers who pass by and want to watch the excitement. I was so scared that I cried loudly.
Second Lieutenant Sodin, who was in charge of the scout team, had already rode towards Houlier City after receiving Carter's report. At the same time, he ordered the scout team to pay attention to increasing the scope of investigation in the past few days, so as not to conflict with the orcs again.
Although Second Lieutenant Sodin was lazy, he at least understood what the deputy captain Carter was capable of—killing six orcs? The "combat details" that Carter said could not withstand scrutiny really had many flaws, but it didn't matter, as long as the orc's head was not forged. Sordin returned to Houllier City to report the news to His Excellency the Duke. He believed... the meritorious deeds gained in exchange for so many orc heads should be enough to let him leave this shit-like scout organization.
As for the rewards for Carter and the scouts, Sordin secretly spat—who cares about them
It is normal for a boss to not care about his subordinates. In such a society similar to medieval Europe, "compassion" is usually relatively rare. Except for the nobles and lords, the people at the bottom usually can't even eat enough. Disaster, life may not be saved, let alone other things.
For the surviving scouts in Nolan Village, the dead comrades could no longer be brought back to life, and the hard days would continue. The only thing they are lucky about is that their military pay is slightly higher than those of the farmers who farm all day long. As for the others... Young people who have already accepted this view of life without going to school have not thought about it at all.
Inside the scout team, they kept silent about what happened yesterday—Rody sensibly gave up the credit, so naturally the remaining few scouts would not be so stupid as to say "truth" behind their backs. So after waking up in the early morning, those soldiers who didn't know were talking about how Captain Carter "killed the orcs heroically". On the contrary, it was Roddy who killed the orcs, but he disappeared after waking up.
To be honest, no one can be calm enough to fall asleep when they are reborn in a game. Roddy thought that he would experience a night of insomnia with anxiety and excitement, but who would have thought... that he fell asleep inexplicably? caught.
But when he woke up, there were some inexplicable information in his head—these things seemed to be completely forgotten when he woke up yesterday... There was a memory about the original owner of this body, "Lodi".
My father died in the army in a small-scale battle on the border ten years ago, and my mother died young. "Lodi" can be regarded as the most standard "war orphan" in this war-torn era. When he was a child, he learned how to fight with a dagger from his father, but he had never touched a one-handed sword. He was born in Nuolan Village since he was a child. Occasionally some years old can leave some spare money, but after several years of disasters, the family situation has declined. After my mother died of illness three years ago, I joined the team with the help of my father.
Cowardly and timid, he even stutters when talking to girls. It stands to reason that Lodi, who inherited his father's strong body, should be a good soldier, but he has a good body and appearance, but he has no masculinity. He bullied others, even to the point of giving up on himself.
Luo Di was a little bit embarrassed about these memories in his mind. In comparison, his own character really went to two extremes with Luo Di—
As a tech geek respected by people on the Internet and a "professional high-end player" whose self-confidence in the game field far exceeds that of ordinary people, although Luo Di can't be called a five-good youth, he can be regarded as having normal moral values. It's just that he has an obvious shortcoming... To put it bluntly, it is "revenge for every grievance".
This kind of character was not obvious at first, but since that accident, Roddy has gradually changed from a harmless guy to a cold-blooded animal with a cold and extreme personality.
It can't be called a "hero", because until the crossing, Roddy was just a well-known lone ranger in the game, not the guild leader or any big man. But if he is given a sufficient platform, the two extremely important words "big hero" may not be difficult for Rody to do.
He has this potential...whether it's something called ambition or ambition, or enough patience and resourcefulness, Roddy has it all. Times make heroes, perhaps what he lacks is just timing.
