In the auditorium of the Giant Ax Arena, with its back facing the sun, it is the best place to watch the match with a sunshade roof.
A girl was holding a small black umbrella. Her body was covered with an extremely luxurious, multi-layered cake skirt with lace edges and small ribbons as the main pattern. It was also commonly known as a tutu skirt. Because its inventor's surname is 'Krinolin', the master of steam science in the second era, it is also called 'Krinolin Skirt' in formal occasions.
At this moment, the pretty noble girl was looking at the two confronting figures in the center of the arena, her face dazed.
Her face was filled with anticipation, shyness like a girl, and nervousness. She held an umbrella in one small hand, and the other white palm tightly pinched the hem of her skirt, pulling the corners of the skirt that were originally neat. Torn into folds.
Suddenly, a discordant voice came from behind, interrupting her thoughts—
"Lena, why are you wearing this kind of skirt again?"
The aristocratic girl called 'Lena' turned her head and looked behind her. A capable and orthodox man was wearing a double-breasted red and black military jacket, straight trousers and riding boots, and a classical top hat on his head. A middle-aged man with a mustache.
That was her father, and the central figure of the Arran nobility—Jeffrey.
Jeffrey's attire is very 'vintage'.
This is the aristocratic style of the second era. They are proud of being capable, simple and serious. The clothing style is similar to military uniforms, but they retain the elegance of the nobility. The resolution is very high, and they are especially loved and respected by the court of giants.
Of course, the giants are too tall and the cost of making clothes is too high, which is also one of the main reasons.
As the cities of Yalan under the rule of the kingdom of giants, they naturally follow this style of clothing.
"Father, I like to dress like this!" Lina frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Are you referring to the special costumes promoted by the emerging Steam Research Association? Oh, these are the most absurd and outrageous clothes I have ever seen in the first half of my life!" Jeffrey added with certainty Said: "Believe me, that steam co-research association is a heresy. As an academic organization that develops steam, it actually went to develop some clothes and claimed to have a 'mechanical' beauty!"
"Don't think I don't know, that huge pannier tucked under your clothes, yes, that ferrule made of steel." Jeffery became more and more angry, almost roaring: "Guess how much weight it has?" ? Are you planning to exercise your abs? You can’t follow the example of the ladies in Rin Snow City, who regard simple and clean clothes as their beauty, and they are all delicate and weak, this is the beauty of women!”
Lina's face was flushed red by what he said, and she was trembling with anger. In summer, cold sweat oozed from her back.
Without waiting for Lina to defend again, suddenly, shouts broke out in the arena below, which immediately attracted the attention of the two. The next second, Lina saw that Kadan in the arena was eroded by black smoke, and his body became mottled with blood!
"Kadan!"
Lina exclaimed, holding her face with her hands, even a blind man could see the tension on her body.
Unfortunately, the tension didn't last long. The two in the arena fought again. Everything happened in a blink of an eye. When Lina realized again, Kadan in the arena had fallen and his body was separated!
"Ah!!!"
Lina let out a scream, which matched the voices of the nearby audience. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether she was sad for Kadan, or was cheering for the wonderful performance in the arena like other audiences!
At this time, beside Lina and Jeffrey, a brown book suddenly appeared. Its shape was somewhat illusory, but it was exactly the same as the "Heroes of Argas" beside Suleman.
The strange thing is, whether it is this projection or "The Legend of the Heroes of Argas", in the eyes of the creatures in this small world, the two seem to not exist in the world, and they are completely ignored.
This is the reason why it floated beside Suleman and has never been noticed by anyone!
The next moment, next to Lena and Jeffery, the projected book opened its cover, and started recording simultaneously with the book next to Suleman in the arena below. The content was exactly 'She feels that she is in love! ', 'Sulman is the trump card arranged by the nobles of Yalan', 'Jeffrey has already expected everything' and other sentences, it seems that it is as weird and absurd as writing a novel.
After the seemingly absurd sentence fell, Lina's eyes flashed confusion for a moment. She looked at the figure in the field, and her face clearly experienced 'resentment', 'shame', and 'bewilderment and dementia'. Emotional changes from 'accepting the powerlessness of reality', 'indulging in it', 'feeling joy again', 'obsession' and so on.
It's amazing that a young girl's face has such a rich, revolving facial makeup!
Especially at the last moment, when "infatuation" appeared on her face, the noble girl looked at the arena with passionate obsession, as if she was the most attractive young man in the world, making her addicted and unable to extricate herself .
Jeffrey next to him also reacted similarly. Confusion appeared in his eyes. The next moment, a large amount of information flashed through his pupils, like a computer, the original data information was overwritten.
When Jeffery withdrew from the confusion, his eyes regained clarity, and he looked at his daughter's gaze with a bit of pride—
"Little guy, don't think I can't see through your plan."
"Everything is under my control!"
Jeffrey's eyes seemed to say so.
"Reminder: You have caused fatal damage to the half-orc Kadan (Lv31), the target is dead, this time it is the same level of killing the enemy."
"Hint: You have gained 950 experience points."
Suleman withdrew the straight knife and let out a breath slowly.
Lost.
For the first time in his life, he didn't kill an enemy by leapfrogging. As expected, he lost the experience reward and got less than a thousand experience points.
However, this is also the norm in "Eternal Night".
In fact, it is very difficult to obtain experience points. Killing at the same level can only get a little mosquito meat. Not everyone can be like Suleman, and killing an enemy by leapfrogging is as simple as drinking water.
In the player group, this is a very difficult and risky thing, and it is easy to overturn.
Along the way, Suleman can grow at such a fast speed, not completely relying on the character panel, but also his wisdom, strategy and decisiveness. Both are indispensable. Even if the same panel is given to others, it is difficult to do it. to the same thing.
950 experience points may not seem like much, but for Suleman, the reward is not too low.
After all, the difficulty of gaining experience is different at different levels. The task event for Lv30 characters to obtain 1000 experience points is very different from the task event for Lv50 characters to obtain 1000 experience points. In fact, it is very common to get tens of thousands of experience at a lower level, but only seven or eight thousand at a higher level. This phenomenon is also hindered by the task mechanism of "Eternal Night" (the highest triggered task level is character + level 10) , basically no one has a card level, and finally formed a relatively weird balance.
This point was once dubbed by players as "the best lesson plan to restrain numerical inflation", which is simply a classic.
In addition, although the half-orc Cardan killed by Suleman is a living body in the intersecting space, which itself is condensed by virtual world information, in essence, the virtual world information that constitutes him is also a real life after death. the remains.
It can be regarded as a part of life, which is equivalent to the life of an ethereal, so it is not surprising that killing him also has experience rewards.
"I have passed the biggest test." Suleman judged his own progress based on his experience.
According to the "Secret Keeper" who produced "The Legend of Algas Heroes", but deliberately pretended to be an ordinary book, it is not difficult to guess at this point, the other party is looking for a predestined inheritor, so that the subject can understand the skill ( sub-profession). Therefore, this place must focus on 'assessment', and will not give a desperate situation. After all, its goal is not to kill people, but to find inheritors.
Suleman has already killed a 'second-tier powerhouse', which is the upper limit of the strength of the information body that can be condensed in "The Legend of Heroes of Argas", so his maximum assessment has passed!
The next step is to choose a reasonable development according to the "plot" and obtain the inheritance hidden in the background of the story!
To put it simply, Suleman needs to find the inheritance information hidden by the other party from the development of the story.
"That's what in text adventure games, find the correct option and enter the real ending."
So, Suleman looked at the "Legend of the Heroes of Argas" beside him, and saw that its pages described some obviously distorted, as if tired words—
"Finally, Suleman became the final winner in the arena, and he won the favor of the noble lady Lina."
"At the same time, Jeffrey, who manipulated everything behind the scenes, was also very satisfied with Suleman's performance, so he decided to give it to him."
"An opportunity to choose a free reward!"
"As long as it is within his power, he can satisfy this outstanding young man with anything!"
"Oh, my God! Before Jeffrey sent someone down, Lena couldn't restrain the infatuation in her heart. She ran over from the stairs with her petticoat, which was not good at sports. Her actions immediately attracted everyone. The attention of the audience!"
As soon as the words were written, Suleman heard clear footsteps on the steps behind him.
PS: It will be twelve o'clock soon, even if it's Monday, please ask for a recommendation ticket, of course a monthly pass is also required.
