Nameless town.
Lord Angela felt a little headache.
Through the information brought back by Edward, he witnessed his elder brother being beaten to the head by someone. Even though his relationship with the second elder brother was not good, it was inevitable that he would feel a sense of sadness.
Reminiscent of the gangsters who encountered bandits on the way at the beginning, Angela would naturally regard the Secret Eyes as her worst enemy.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
The Frogmen who are currently causing Black Whip a lot of trouble are obviously worth making friends with, and if necessary, they can even be provided with a certain degree of assistance from here. Angela didn't ask for any benefits from those amphibians, as long as they could continue to draw the attention of the secret society in this area and give the town time to develop.
But this time the system did not give him a task that he could directly entrust to the players.
Do you want to use the game currency as a reward and customize a task to entrust the players to help negotiate with the frogmen on the mudflats of Gray Fjord
But the current players are not as poor and empty as they were at the beginning. After so many days of moving bricks, they all have a savings in their hands. In addition, although Angela got the 'store' building from Edward Blueprints, but the construction has not yet started. The current game currency is limited. It is estimated that even if it is used as a reward, few players will be rare...
Only at this time, Angela will feel that the existence of players has considerable limitations for him. They are not his subordinates, so they don't need to fully obey his orders. It's like a mutually beneficial transaction relationship.
"If only I had dedicated retainers instead of players..."
Angela sighed with some annoyance.
However, it is unlikely if he thinks about it. After all, he is now a devout believer in the God of Games, and the subordinates he recruits must also follow his belief in the God of Games. Once they cross the threshold of true believers, they will be able to obtain the system and become players. 80% will be completely infected by those sand sculpture players outside, and start to let themselves go...
Just when he was distressed by this, the voice of the system came from his mind.
Ding, meet the hidden conditions, the lord game system has opened a new function: npc recruitment
You can recruit npc from players through contracts
After the player becomes an npc, he will not participate in all the original player characters. The system will match your lord game system and change to the follower system (the profession remains unchanged) until he leaves
The upper limit of npc is proportional to your lord level, currently you can recruit 2 people
"Fuck? It's still like this!"
Angra carefully looked through the system information twice, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
This npc recruitment system, could it be that the gods saw that he worked so hard and did everything by himself, so even if he lacked a little belief, he still had the ability to recruit capable subordinates!
Niu Beer, the god of games, I believe in you for the rest of my life!
With this in mind, Angra was the first to go to the player with whom she had the best relationship.
"Vera, I have something to tell you!"
"My lord?" Vera, who became a player and then became a ranger, looked at the excited Angela in a strange way.
The girl is very satisfied with her current life. One must know that half a month ago, the residents of this small town were still in the predicament of not having enough food and clothing, and seeing that they could not survive the frost and fog season.
It was this lord who brought the magical belief in the god of games. Not only did he harvest enough food to satisfy his hunger, he repaired the leaky houses, but he also blocked the attack of the undead together with other players who came from afar. Even the cold frost and fog season can't stop their enthusiasm, which makes this declining and unknown town glow with a different kind of vitality.
It was precisely because of this that she had a different kind of affection for the lord who was two or three years younger than herself but saved the town.
It's a pity that Angra may be a straight man of Oliha, or maybe he is still young and unrepentant, in short, he didn't realize this.
The girl looked at the lord boy tenderly, and felt that it would be good even if he didn't notice it all his life. Anyway, as long as he can repay his kindness for saving the town, it doesn't matter even if he sacrifices everything...
"Vera, are you willing to entrust all your future time to me?" the young man stared into Vera's eyes and asked in an extremely sincere tone.
"Leader, lord lord?!"
Vera, who has always been the image of a big sister in front of other players, is at a loss like a shy little girl at this moment. She looks at Angela with a little bewilderment on her cheeks.
"I know you will definitely have doubts, but please give me a chance, I will definitely treat you well (in terms of salary)! I don't expect you to believe it immediately, after all, I am still too young and have little experience in many places ..." Angra saw that the girl seemed to be a little shaken, and immediately pursued the victory.
"No! I, I..." The girl first interrupted Angra's words, and then, as if she had exhausted her courage just now, she squirmed her lips and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I would like to..."
After saying the three words, the girl felt a little weak as if she had used up all her strength.
"Really! Great!"
Angela cheered, and then he took out a scroll from nowhere and opened it. The content of the contract was densely written on it, including but not limited to the obligations and rights of being an NPC. He took out a pen and stuffed it into Vera's hand, pointing to the blank space under the contract: "Sign here."
Vera:? ?
The girl froze there. She glanced at Angra, then at the contract, and then at Angra.
Vera: "Is this what you mean?"
Angela nodded innocently: "Yes, what else?"
Vera: "..."
Angra shivered for some reason. He felt that something seemed to rise from the girl beside him, probably something like killing intent.
Angela asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Vera shook her head: "No, it's nothing." The girl's mood suddenly sank, but she still took the pen and wrote her name on the contract.
In the next instant, Angra received a prompt from the system.
Vera Newmante has joined your ranks
Then Vera's personal page popped up, but for some reason the girl's name was followed by a silver r.
Looking down from the name, the first is loyalty. The girl's loyalty is directly at the full value of 100 points, which makes Angra quite satisfied.
Then there are the attributes, which are different from the attributes of the players. The attributes of strength, agility, and spirit disappeared, and were replaced by the three attributes of military strategy, internal affairs, and diplomacy. However, Vera may be an ordinary hunter girl in a small town. Military strategy and government affairs are extremely low, but diplomacy has 42 points, which is not bad.
Then there is the npc skill, currently there is only an empty skill bar, according to the system prompts, Angela has to buy skills for her to equip, which always makes Angela feel like she has been cheated...
Before Angra was ready to say something to Vera, the old mayor suddenly ran in from outside the house in a panic.
"It's not good, that guy named Manie brought a hundred or so people and is coming here. I'm afraid this formation is trying to usurp the throne!"
Angela:? ?
The gods are plotting to usurp the throne...
