Roland has always believed that this world is real, and that officials and the state cooperate to hide many things.
But as a small citizen, he cannot control the national strategy, and he cannot see the whole picture. He can only try to take out what he wants, or what is beneficial to him.
For example, knowledge or skills.
Hearing Beta's words, Li Lin shrugged and sat aside: "Leave this kind of philosophical stuff to intellectuals like you to solve. After discussing and coming to a conclusion, tell us in simple and easy-to-understand language."
Then the three of them went to one side to play poker and fight the Landlord.
Players can make utensils and musical instruments in this world, and those who are ingenious can naturally make playing cards.
Seeing that the three of them didn't want to care so much, Roland shook his head helplessly.
Beta asked from the side: "Brother Luolan, how possible do you think this idea is?"
"About 60%." Roland thought for a while, put some wine on his finger, casually drew a tree diagram on the table, and said, "When we enter the dungeon, if we don't choose to rob the Bright Spring, we will It will trigger other plots. Maybe the character and identity of Mippers will change according to my actions. But the calculation has reached this point, and the identity and character of Mippels should be finalized. I just don’t know , next, we will walk to that branching plot branch."
Beta narrowed his eyes slightly, as he would do subconsciously when he was thinking.
After a while, Beta asked: "You mean, we can do whatever we want in this copy?"
"That's not the case." Roland shook his head: "Have you seen the soldiers who protect the Bright Spring? They are all master-level and there are many of them, but looking at their armor and equipment, they are just elite soldiers. Normally speaking, master-level warriors are not officer-level! Therefore, it must be equipment made by the system to prevent us from robbing the Bright Spring. If our level is higher, we may see that these warriors are all legends. "
Beta suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel like something is wrong there."
"The system is forcing us to follow the planned plot." Roland thought for a moment and said, "So, we have to go out to find information. Li Lin, come here and we will assign tasks."
Li Lin muttered: "We are just about to start fighting the landlord."
Roland smiled and said: "Hussere and Li Lin are going to see if there are any organizations such as thieves' unions or mercenary unions in this era. If there are, go buy some information from them. If not, go to the tavern to collect it."
Li Lin nodded vigorously. In the real world, he likes to go to nightclubs, so he naturally likes to drink.
"Beta and Brazil, you two try wandering around the city and see if you can get side missions."
The two men nodded.
"I will fly to the sky later to see how big the 'actionable' range of this copy world is." Roland thought for a while and continued: "I will set up another 'unhindered communication' for you later. The effective time is about ten Four hours, before the time is up, go back to the hotel and I will add status to you."
While Roland was talking, he cast the 'unobstructed communication' magic on all four of them.
"Okay, no problem." The four said in unison.
"If there is no problem, let's take action now." Roland stood up.
At this time, Beta suddenly shouted: "Brother Luolan, it seems that we are no longer connected to the game forum."
Um
Roland was stunned for a moment. He opened the browser that came with the game and found that it was indeed a 404 status.
So does everyone else.
"Maybe it's because of the special nature of the dungeon." Roland thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's complete the mission first."
After that, all five people left the hotel.
Roland found an open place with few people and first sensed the 'magic beacon'.
But he found that he could not sense the magic beacons he had recorded before.
In other words, in this copy space, he has no way to teleport to other places.
So... the human cannon is activated.
Roland flew into the sky with a roar, and then went straight up. But while he was in the sky, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, and immediately stopped and became suspended.
Then he stared at the blue sky and white clouds above his head and felt something was wrong. Then he condensed a small fireball and launched it upward.
The small fireball flew less than a hundred meters before it seemed to hit something and exploded with a loud bang.
Some brown debris shook away in the empty air.
Roland took some casually, put it in his fingers and crushed it carefully...it was dirt.
Ascending at a relatively slow speed, Roland came to the place where the small fireball exploded just now. He stretched out his hand and touched a thick layer of soil.
Ha... as expected.
This place is still underground. Is what they saw really an illusion
An illusion created by a copy mission
After landing on the ground, Roland smiled, then he found a pedestrian on the roadside and asked, "Excuse me, where is the library in this city?"
The pedestrian pointed to the east: "That's where the tall building with the red dome is."
Roland thanked the passerby and walked for a few minutes until he came to the downstairs of the red dome.
The facade of this building is large, and the two doors almost look like small city gates.
But there were many people in white robes coming in and out of the door, looking quite nervous.
Roland stepped forward, blocked a man in white robe who was walking in a hurry, and asked, "Is this a library?"
The young man in white robe nodded: "Yes, but please don't stop me. Something big happened here and I have to report it to the city lord."
Then the young man left in a hurry.
Roland was stunned for a moment. He saw that there seemed to be no guards in this building, so he walked straight in.
After entering the door, you will see the main hall, which is at least ten meters high and covers an extremely large area.
The ground here is full of piles of dust.
Many white robes stood motionless in front of the dust in despair, even wiping tears.
what's going on
Roland thought of the young man in white robe he met at the door just now. Could this dust be what they called a 'big event'
Just as Roland was thinking this, he heard a clear voice from a high place in front: "Why are you crying? The things are gone. Let's just write them down again. What does a man cry like?"
Roland looked up and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair walking down the stairs.
The girl's eyes are burgundy and she is wearing a loose white robe.
There is a sword hanging on her waist, with a red tassel hanging on the hilt. Every time she moves, the red tassel will sway.
Hearing the girl's voice, the weeping men stopped crying.
The girl walked down the stairs and looked at the piles of dust with a sad look on her face, but soon her expression became determined: "Everyone, please go back to your room to rest for two hours. Then we will gather together and we will find out together." What exactly happened? From now on, the library will be temporarily closed. No one can enter or exit at will, including people from the City Lord's Mansion. If anyone brings trouble to you, let him come to me."
"yes!"
A group of white robes responded at the same time, and then dispersed in twos and threes.
Then the girl turned her attention to Roland. She looked at Roland for a few seconds, then she had a look of surprise and curiosity on her face, and then walked up.
Roland looked at the other party and was quite surprised.
Black hair is not uncommon in the game world, but people with black hair are all brown and black, and their hair is either curly or curly, and they are naturally curly black.
But this girl is different. Her black hair is pure black, very straight, and shiny. She has no hair tied, and her long black hair hangs down like silk, falling to the bottom of her waist.
Also, this girl’s face is on the small side, and although her eyes are burgundy, her eyebrows are oriental in style.
In this game world, after seeing blond hair, blue eyes, and an eagle nose with deep sockets, Roland suddenly felt quite friendly when he saw such an oriental face.
The girl walked up to Roland, looked him up and down, and asked, "A foreigner?"
Roland smiled and nodded.
"What are you doing here? Traveling businessman?"
"I am a magician, and my biggest hobby is to communicate with my colleagues, and to go to libraries in various countries and cities to absorb new knowledge." Roland looked around: "I heard that this is a library... But why do I Can’t see any books?”
The girl's fair and pretty face showed a depressed look: "You came a little late. For some reason, all the books here, including the bookshelves, turned to dust not long ago."
Roland was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
The system works really well.
In order to enhance the sense of immersion, the system must properly arrange the entire city's institutions and background, including knowledge, customs, etc.
But in order to prevent himself from gaining 'additional magic knowledge' or learning additional spells here, he actually destroyed all the books here.
Cruel enough.
Looking at Roland's helpless eyes, the girl showed some apology: "I'm really sorry that you came all the way to our city, but the result is like this..."
The girl was silent. She looked back at the dust on the ground and sighed.
And Roland said: "It doesn't matter if the books are gone. There should be many powerful mages here. I also know some unique magic. Let's see if we can communicate with each other!"
"There are indeed powerful magicians." The girl smiled, with a pair of shallow dimples on her cheeks: "My grandfather is, but his recent body..."
At this moment, a weak old male voice came from the steps on the second floor: "Lamia, bring this handsome foreigner boy over."
Roland looked up and saw an old man standing on the second floor stairs. He was holding the railing of the stairs with his right hand and looking down at the two people.
The girl turned her head and said angrily: "Grandpa, you are not in good health, why did you get out of bed!"
"Please come up to that young man. I have something to talk to him about."
"All right."
Lamia sighed and said to Roland: "I'm sorry, grandpa wants to see you. Can you please have a chat with grandpa?"
"sure."
Roland said with a smile.
Did you trigger some plot mission
