[-do you know?]
[No matter what stage of civilization or era, there will always be a group of people called adventurers.
Their names may not have been adventurers at the time, and what they did was different from what most people imagine today.
But no matter what, in essence, no matter what age or race, the so-called adventurers are ultimately the same type of people.
In the savage days of ancient civilization, adventurers were the first to try chewing herbs and the first to try eating all kinds of strange creatures.
In the primitive tribal period of civilization, adventurers were those who traveled around to explore, find new places to live, and go to various dangerous and unknown areas.
In the later city-state kingdoms and even in recent times, adventurers still exist. They explore the extremely dangerous forests full of magical beasts, they open up safe roads under the greedy prying eyes of wild beasts, and they ride on large or small ships. , breaking through the waves of the sea and heading into the distance, looking for new continents one after another.]
Starfall 839, May 3rd, noon.
In a hut in the southern city of Moldavia, the northern land of the Northern Empire.
Priest put on the wrist with the information terminal embedded in it. After debugging the newly loaded 2.7th generation external exploration-specific information module, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Finally, it has the function of automatically scanning and analyzing unknown substances, and using the spirit to communicate across language species. It seems that the big shots above have successfully analyzed a lot of Black Mist's ability modules, and they have been upgraded very frequently recently."
After muttering to himself, Priest stood up from the seat in front of his work desk. After arranging his clothes in front of the mirror, he walked out of his bedroom door and walked downstairs.
"Brother, are you going on a mission again?"
A soft girl's voice came from the corner of the first floor. Priest turned his head and saw his sister Britney sitting at the dining table with a small potted plant in front of her. She seemed to be staring at the potted plant in a daze, but the sound of Priest coming downstairs interrupted the process, which also made the girl notice the fact that her brother seemed to be leaving again.
"Yes." Priest stepped forward and kissed Britney on the forehead. He put his arms around his sister and asked in a funny way: "What? You haven't sensed the power of nature yet? I told you Well, if you want to improve in nature, you need to walk outside more. You won’t be able to appreciate nature even if you stare at potted plants for a long time.”
"But the teacher said that you can just use potted plants during the enlightenment period!" Britney was a little dissatisfied with her brother's attitude. She patted the table with both hands and said angrily: "Obviously this little grass looks down on me. !”
Priest looked at the silverleaf pine sapling in the pot in front of him, and then at Britney who was still staring at the potted plant with all her strength, and decided to tell her the difference between the sapling and grass later.
Child care centers affiliated to major colleges in Moldavia, or alternative kindergartens and primary schools, are now experimentally beginning to teach some knowledge about extraordinary powers. Through repeated physical examinations and small tests, those instructors with rich experience The talent of each child will be roughly determined and corresponding resources will be provided to each other as much as possible.
Britney's school is such an experimental elementary school that has received special instructions. Britney herself also found the path that suits her best in the test conducted by the elf teacher a few days ago - the Druid series about the power of nature.
To be honest, when the elf elder contacted him personally, Priest was still a little unbelievable: So his sister is also a genius? According to what the other party said, Britney has a natural affinity that is rare to see in a century, and with just a little training, she can achieve something even stronger than an elf.
"Do your ancestors have elven blood?" These were the elder's straightforward words, and this was also the norm in this world of chaotic bloodlines.
Of course, it seems that little Britney still has a lot of training to do. First of all, we must seriously tell her the difference between grass and trees.
"Remember to come back early."
Britney, who was staring at the potted plants, noticed that Priest was already planning to go out. She raised her head and muttered with some reluctance: "My birthday is next month. If you don't come back, I will definitely not be sad." of!"
In response, Priest, who had already opened the door, smiled slightly: "It's just an ordinary exploration of another world of life, don't worry - I have also prepared a special birthday gift for you, just feel free to be curious now!"
After finishing speaking, he closed the door with a smile and strode towards the Champion Academy in the center of the city.
[—Adventurers are always there, at all times, so much so that it has become common knowledge in the world.]
[They kill monsters and complete tasks entrusted by others. Adventurers form small teams to travel around the world, traveling for a rumor, a piece of news, and a goal and desire that may be lofty or ordinary. There are countless adventurers like this in this era, and there are even some strong ones among them.
To be honest, this is actually really strange. If it’s okay for desperate people to take risks, why do strong people also become risk-takers? Obviously they only need to stay in their hometown, in the kingdom of humans, to have a lot of wealth, easily find a spouse who meets the requirements, and then leave more children and establish a foundation that may be solid or loose. .
Whether you think about it from the perspective of pure biological instinct or material enjoyment, the existence of adventurers is actually incredible.]
Priest was walking on the street. The LCD screen on the street was playing the midday news. There were various races and characters walking on both sides of the street: elves, druids and archers, and fishmen and wavebreakers from the East China Sea. , human warriors, wanderers, and occasionally you can see a few dwarf warriors wearing armor even on the streets, with beards and hair full of tinkling copper rings - even mages are not uncommon. They are in groups, working on alchemy in a house. Click to discuss some matters with the shop owner.
[After merging seven principalities and two kingdoms, the supreme leader of the Roman Principality, Archduke Fidel Roman, is expected to proclaim himself emperor in November this year. Before that, he cooperated with the Rock Dwarves to develop the 'giant bipedal walking puppet' , the giant combat weapon called 'Titan' or 'Thunder' by many people has entered the field of vision of many countries in many great victories. This kind of magic puppet that is very similar to the 'Giant God Soldier' in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice has terrifying combat power. , relevant personnel spoke and stated that they had reason to believe that Archduke Roman might have obtained the design drawings of the ancient giant weapons.]
[The Business Alliance issued a solemn statement for the fourth time...]
Such a diverse atmosphere may only be seen in Moldavia in the North, or in fortress cities on the borders of several major powers. These people of all kinds, with different races, beliefs, customs, habits and personalities, all come here because of one person's name. They may want to get a chance from that person, or they may just be tired. This is theoretically one of the safest places to live and retire in the world.
Priest was originally the latter, but now he is the former - the young warrior has entered the castle gate of the Champion Academy, and the original guard is already familiar with him. After seeing that Priest passed the verification, the other party casually He waved his hand and signaled the other party to hurry in and not waste their time.
So Priest entered the Champion Academy's castle smoothly, climbed directly to the top floor, and came to the special teleportation room at the top of the castle.
Rumor has it that in every large branch of Winterfort Academy, there is a mysterious room that is not accessible to all ordinary students. They are either located on the top floor, in the basement, or even near the cafeteria, but no matter where they are located, these The rooms are never open to ordinary students, and even instructors are rarely allowed to enter.
The students speculated that that room might be some kind of high-secret laboratory, or a passage leading to the secret room of the college. Some even swore that it was the exclusive lounge for the deans of the college, and it might be directly connected to the Lord's Mansion. and the Imperial Royal Mage Association, because he saw with his own eyes the Time and Space Archmage and the Earl walking out of it.
In fact, his guess was correct. The portal was of course connected to the Lord's Mansion and the Imperial Capital. Not only that, it was also connected to more mysterious places... For example, the headquarters of the Empire's External Exploration Department, and another example, a A void craft named the Gransypher.
"Hey, Captain, are you here?"
There are already many people in the teleportation room. Four of them are sitting together, wiping and maintaining their weapons, armors, and various strange fragmentary magic props. One of them is tall and strong. After seeing Priest's arrival, the man stood up in surprise and waved to him, while the other three people also temporarily stopped what they were doing and looked at each other with a smile.
Because the souls of the knights and priests were completely preserved by the soul abyss ball, they were completely resurrected from the dead, and their strength was not affected much. According to the knight, after dying once, the hidden wounds and various hidden dangers in his body have disappeared. After being swept away, his body's potential was a little greater. But no matter what, everyone was able to survive because Priest blocked the tentacle attack of Black Mist. Otherwise, the entire elite team would have been knocked out of their two-dimensional form.
In fact, the exploration team was not the only one in the teleportation room. On the other side of the room, there were two dragon girls who looked exactly the same, and a pair of people who obviously looked like brothers and sisters were chatting on the LCD screen. , the entire transfer room was clearly divided into three areas.
[—The very existence of adventurers is abnormal.]
[Similarly, they study hard, hone their strength, learn knowledge, and fight against the monsters again and again. The strong people who stay in human society are definitely many times stronger than the adventurers. They will fight against the demonic tide. Become the guardian of everyone during the struggle, and be supported and worshiped by everyone. They will become the upper echelons of the ruling class, possess great power, and gradually take control of their tribes, city-states, and even kingdoms and empires.
The royal families of countless principalities and kingdoms in the Western Mountains, and even the Diamond royal family of the Northern Empire, stood out like this and became the royal bloodline passed down through the generations.
On the contrary, people who go to distant places to explore, take risks, and find new continents will not have any fame. At least most of them will not have any fame. They are located in dangerous areas far away from human society and live an isolated life. Living a lonely life, dancing on the tip of a knife every day, playing hide and seek with death.
However, there are still many strong people who choose to go far away, to the uninhabited Jedi, fighting all kinds of powerful monsters, and pursuing various wonders and treasures in the legend.]
"Come on, Mr. Syndicate, open your mouth."
In the innermost part of the room, Lisa raised the spoon in her hand with a smile, trying to stuff a spoonful of powder that had an obvious alien smell into Syndicate's mouth. While stuffing it, she whispered: "After eating this bowl, , we will continue to design your new human form... Don't worry, although the gland powder of the 'Inferno Devouring Beast' has the effect of dissolving the body, it will just turn into the original meat ball for you, it will not It’s dead.”
And now the Syndicate, who appeared in the form of Lisa, after resisting to no avail, was stuffed with a mouthful of Devouring Beast Gland Powder that would make an ordinary person's body dissolve and collapse on the spot. His eyes filled with tears: "But Lisa, I really don't know what to do." What form should it take?"
"As long as Mr. Syndicate chooses it, I like it - of course it can't be too ugly, it can't be too weird, and it can't look too much like me!"
On the side, Ivan and Amira seemed to have long been accustomed to the interaction between Lisa and Syndicate. The two of them were changing channels on the LCD screen while whispering to each other about something.
"Karin and Nick have both gone to seclusion, and Alva has also returned to the imperial capital, where His Majesty the Emperor will assess his academic achievements in the past year."
Ivan changed the screen to the 'National News Channel' and complained softly: "There are only two of us left in the team, and now we can only live this boring and decadent life."
"You can also go to retreat, exercise, and learn how to use a sword." Amira grabbed the remote control and switched the display screen to the 'Mage Weekly Special Program Channel'. She turned her head seriously and faced His brother said: "As my disciple, brother, you were unable to defeat the poisonous swamp dragon with swordsmanship last time. In the end, you relied on elemental enchantment to defeat the opponent. This is really embarrassing!"
"But we are originally mages, right?" Ivan always felt that something was wrong: "Although it is strange to say that the disciples of the legendary warrior are mages..."
"It's you who is weird, brother, right? A mage is supposed to be able to use a two-handed sword!"
"???"
On the other side, the Syndicate made an embarrassing sound.
"No, stop stuffing, I really can't eat any more!" "There's still half a bowl left. Come on, dear, open your mouth."
Priest could hear the voices of everyone in the room. He smiled and shook his head without speaking, but came to his team.
"The fifth exploration is about to begin."
He said concisely and concisely: "Are you ready?"
"Oh!! Of course!"
Everyone cheered like this, and all five of them were in high spirits. Even the knights and priests who had died once did not have any fear of the dangerous exploration mission—they might be cautious and awe of a strange world, but they would never be without fear. The fear of the unknown means something.
[—A powerful adventurer whose life is always touching.]
[Also in his teens and twenties, a potential adventurer became successful after training and started taking risks. Since then, he has been wandering outside his hometown, completing various commissions, and exploring countless desperate situations. They have become more and more... Powerful, they can open up distant territories for the country and explore mysterious desperate situations. They may also have left behind many magnificent legends. In such a life, if it ends well, the adventurer can return to his hometown safely and become a respectable big shot. But if he dies in a foreign land, or is injured and unable to return, then they can only die without regret. The wilderness of man is buried in a land that is not his native land.
Except for friends, except for the familiar circle of strong men and adventurers, ordinary civilians may not even know who these people are and what contributions they have made.
But if it is the same person, the same age, the same strength, and the adventurer does not choose to take risks, but stays in his hometown to hone his martial arts, joins a guild or the army, and leads the team to resist the danger of the demonic tide, he will join In the war against the Chaos Black Forest, he may still be fighting on the front lines of the battlefield until the last moment of his life. If such a strong man died a good death, countless of his students and soldiers would mourn for him. If he died in battle, the whole country would share the same hatred. He would definitely have a decent and heavy funeral, and his life would be written down. History is remembered.
He may even have his own statue, story, legend and even family. His fame will live on forever.
They are both contributing to civilization, and they are also fighting against monsters, but the two lives are so different.
These two choices are both part of becoming great, but the gap between them is really too big, like a deep valley and a sky barrier.]
[However, even so, the life of an adventurer is so bumpy.]
Priest put on his armor, and he put on his helmet.
The young warrior issued low and clear instructions.
"start preparing."
As he spoke, he raised the large crystal shield on the side. Following this order, the entire elite exploration team quickly organized the various weapons, equipment and props in their hands, and then lined up without any hesitation or hesitation. A neat line stood in front of Priest.
"Set off!"
The five people stepped forward together and stepped into the time and space gate one after another - they would be directly transported to the Grand Sefa void boat, and then be transported to the target world this time by the power of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field. Everything was done easily, and no one had the trouble. The slightest hesitation.
Priest, the corners of his mouth hidden behind his helmet were slightly raised, and what flowed in his eyes was a flame similar to that of his teacher.
-Yes, that's it. I clearly know that I will have such a life.
Even so.
Generation after generation of brave men have resolutely headed towards unknown distances far away from home.
I’ve already written about the simple, the pure, and this time it’s about the adventurous.
