dawn.
The sky, which was originally shrouded in dark, deep clouds, appeared with wisps of warm light.
The soft light full of warmth shines on the smooth white hair of the white unicorn, reflecting a bit of sanctity that makes people yearn for it. The vibrant emerald green vines are twisted into reins and extend to a strong man covered in silver metal armor. In the hands of the knight.
The knight was burly and gigantic, his sacred mithril armor was engraved with luxurious patterns, and he had a simple and heavy square hammer on his back. Just from his appearance, he revealed an indescribable sense of majesty and power.
He waved the reins in his hands from time to time, and the sacred unicorn in front quickened his pace.
The strong and powerful horse's hooves will leave a deep mark every time they step on the ground. Each of the holy beasts with ancient bloodline is majestic, with a body comparable to a Land Rover off-road vehicle, carrying a nearly three-meter-tall paladin. There is no sense of dissonance at all.
The wheels rolled.
In a giant carriage decorated with extreme luxury, a butler in a tuxedo who seemed to have aristocratic blood was pouring wine for his master.
This butler's movements are graceful and graceful. He seems to be the chief etiquette in the European medieval royal court. His almost sickly pale skin makes his side face look strangely beautiful. His long silver-white hair with a little scarlet color is tied behind his back, looking evil and charming. A smile is almost the sure thing for all girls.
"Master." Gui Teng lowered his head respectfully, and at the same time poured the highest-grade red wine brewed by the blood elves into the goblet. There were soft bubbles hanging around the edge of the cup, and the mellow aroma revealed was intoxicating.
And the supreme being that Gui Teng can call his master can naturally only be Gu Fan.
He lightly raised his eyes to look at Ghost Vine, then looked out the window, nodded slightly and said, "You are quite capable. Even the Scarlet Butcher can disguise himself as a Paladin."
Scarlet Butcher?
The burly paladin who holds the reins and can temporarily serve as a groom is actually the butcher who kills without blinking an eye and exudes endless evil blood from every part of his body?
"Return to the master."
"We elves are good at camouflage and are naturally close to the jungle and nature. This not only allows us to acquire some sacred qualities, but also allows us to appreciate the cruel killing of natural laws and survive between light and darkness."
"With your grace, Master, after evolving into a blood elf, my disguise ability has been strengthened. As long as my true strength is not revealed, there should be no flaws."
Gui Teng explained to Gu Fan that although elves are part of the empire's lineup, nature does not distinguish between right and wrong. Survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are all laws of nature.
Between light and darkness, both sacred and cruel, with such characteristics, they naturally know how to disguise themselves.
"good."
Gu Fan gave a rare nod of praise, which saved him a lot of trouble.
He raised his eyes and looked out the window again. As he gradually moved away from the border of the empire, the dark and heavy dark clouds became thinner like threads peeling off cocoons.
The soft light that represents the sacred becomes stronger and tougher, and occasionally there will be a few rays of light, like a sharp blade piercing the devil's body, shining through the dark clouds and shining on the ground, moistening the patches of soil.
The light nourishes the soil.
Large tracts of buds grow from the fertile soil, and new life appears full of vitality. It seems that everything is recovering.
"Um?"
"Who are those people?"
Gu Fan made a confused sound and saw crowds of people walking on the road in the distance.
Most of those people were dressed in rags, with a few holes and patches occasionally appearing on their dirty linen clothes. Moreover, everyone was sallow and thin, showing a malnourished and haggard appearance, just like refugees fleeing famine. There were hundreds of people in the densely packed crowd. .
In addition to these refugees, there are three powerful humans with different styles guarding people as they move forward.
One of the men was carrying a long bow burning with scorching flames. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his fingers were long and powerful. He could tell at a glance that he was an incredible archer.
Another man often holds a broad-bladed giant sword that is more than two meters long in his hand. His burly height is similar to that of the Scarlet Butcher, but he does not wear heavy armor, but displays his extremely exaggerated muscles in the air.
There is also a woman who seems to be a legendary orc. She has a pair of soft cat ears and a pair of very deceptive cute cheeks. Her long and narrow tail sways behind her sexy butt from time to time. Her palms are not human. The palms of the fingers are fleshy pads covered with soft fur.
"Those refugees are all ownerless people."
Guiteng explained, and Gu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some interest: "A people without a master?"
"In this world, the lords of every territory are almost gods."
"The health of the lord affects the health of the people, and the strength of the lord affects the strength of the people."
Kito continued to explain: "Sometimes, the lord will die for some reasons, but the remaining power can keep the people alive. Their only hope of survival is to go to another territory and receive new protection."
I see.
The formation of this world is complex.
Each lord will evolve his own people and thrive for a long time.
The more powerful the lord is, the more prosperous the lives of his people will be, and when the lord dies, most of his people will be wiped out with him.
This is just like Ghost Vine and Scarlet Butcher. When they are completely transformed in purgatory, they will become evil spirits, blood elves, or blood corpses, powerful creatures in purgatory.
But... there are some exceptions. If some lords die unexpectedly, the entire territory will not disappear immediately. Some lords will even pass on their remaining strength and will to their people when they are on the verge of death.
When the lords died, their gods, their masters, and their true bodies were also destroyed, while those who survived became "ownerless people" and became confused.
They cannot live independently.
As time goes by, these ownerless people will evaporate like dew.
However, there is also a possibility for the ownerless people to survive, that is, by going to a new territory and being protected by another lord, they can avoid dissipation.
"Understood."
Gu Fan nodded and glanced at the three powerful humans guarding the side: "What about them?"
"Ranger Hero." Kito added a new vocabulary and continued to explain: "Powerful lord-level figures are also a minority in this world. Not everyone can evolve their own territory and people."
"They choose to become freer rangers, traveling between various territories. We call them ranger heroes."
There are many people entering this world.
Scarlet Butcher, Ghost Teng... and those powerful lords can rely on their own will to evolve into towering giant cities, breed countless people to survive in the city, and make themselves stronger.
But in fact, there are only a few such powerful lords, and more are some ranger heroes who retain their own complete and independent consciousness.
They have their own way of survival. Although they are not as powerful as the lords, they are very free. They can travel to every corner of the world and go wherever they want, unlike the lords who can only stay in their own giant cities.
And ranger heroes also have their own advantages, because they are more free and can leave any territory at any time, so powerful lords who guard their territories and are unable to leave sometimes hire these ranger heroes to do some things.
Gu Fan listened carefully.
Unexpectedly, this world transformed from consciousness still has so many rules.
