Just like otakus who have biological sisters, most of them have an instinctive aversion to controlling girls due to the guidance of their innate genes.
Zhao Xu, who also received the treatment of "childhood sweetheart", did not have the kind of charming feelings towards Yun Xiaowei, whom he had grown up with together, as in the anime.
It would be no exaggeration to say that Yun Xiaowei, who can eat and cause trouble, is a burden to him.
At the beginning of the time travel, when humans on earth were brought to the other side of Arthur by a rain of meteorites, this was due to the sudden pressure of six to seven billion resources and the new environment in which everything started anew.
As a result, during the first half year of time travel, humans on Earth have been in a state of extreme chaos.
On the one hand, they seek resources to feed themselves and build tiles to protect themselves from wind and rain.
On the other hand, careerists compete for power and win over the lucky player groups, and the high-end player group seeks to reach the top.
Under all the intrigues and harsh environment, even with the help of the Arthur gods, not a few people died.
Most people on earth are just ordinary people with average or even average attributes and no career path.
And the lucky players who were initially exposed to the game Arthur did not always have smooth sailing.
Like Xiao Wei, Zhao Xu only found out that the other party was also an Arthur player after traveling through time.
This is enough to show that after he left the small town to go to college, there was an invisible barrier between him and Xiao Wei, whom he originally knew well, and the connection was not deep at first.
Relatives who have been together for many years will also become strangers once the distance of space and time increases.
Xiao Wei in her previous life was the kind of person who believed that with great power comes greater responsibility. In the end, she died, and she died protecting civilians in her youth.
Just like most of the paladins who traveled through the past in the early days.
"Are you playing too?" At this time, Yun Xiaowei couldn't help but ask Zhao Xu.
As she said that, she saw the half-smile on Zhao Xu's face and immediately sat up, "You have to keep it a secret for me. I used the brain computer to take advantage of light sleep time to secretly play with Arthur. If you If you expose me, I will die with you."
While saying this, Yun Xiaowei also showed a vicious expression.
"Come on." Zhao Xu pulled out the pillow from under his feet with his backhand, turned around and took out a new pillowcase from the closet, "What level is it?"
"Does that need to be said? It's still in the training process." Yun Xiaowei was not at all shy about the dilemma that it had been three or four months since the server started and she was still in a probationary state and had not even reached level 1.
It is precisely because the vast majority of the people are at one or two levels.
So "What level are you at?" has become the default greeting for each other in Arthur's offline circle, similar to "Have you played Arthur?"
"I don't know why. They say that the training of a warlock is simpler than that of a 'mage' or a 'priest', but I'm still stuck on basic magic pets."
"Although I can only spare a few hours to play this game every day, my efficiency is too low. I can only watch my classmates happily defeat monsters and level up." Yun Xiaowei frowned at this time.
Only at this moment did Zhao Xu realize the plight of grassroots players.
Although most of the players he had come into contact with before seemed to have low levels, they were at least hardcore players who invested a lot of time.
It's one thing to have fun, but you can't help others being willing to waste their time and even their money.
The largest group of people in the game are light players like Yun Xiaowei who spend more than three hours and less than one hour a day.
After traveling through time, their levels are generally in the quagmire of one or two levels.
Otherwise, if an army of players with an average level of 5 is really raised, Arthur's non-mage forces will still be shocked.
Compared with before, Zheng Xinyun, who had also been taking the priest's course for more than half a month, although his speed was not fast, Zhao Xu was gradually able to feel the stable power of faith transmitted by the other party.
If it weren't for the fact that he himself was too weak in terms of divine power and unable to give positive feedback, otherwise with a divine grace coming from him at this time, Zheng Xinyun could have become an official priest without having to continue to borrow power from the faith camp.
According to Zhao Xu's speculation, I am afraid that the other party will be able to become an official priest within a month.
During the three years of his apprenticeship as a priest in his previous life, Zheng Xinyun was unable to break through the final hurdle to become a priest.
In this life, she relied on the blessing of being a gamer, but she only needed an average of just one and a half months to become a priest.
This is what this level of player identity is for.
As for the current problem that is blocking Yun Xiaowei, his childhood playmate, Zhao Xu also has a headache.
If it was some kind of magic model, he could even tell Yun Xiaowei a piece of high-end content casually right now, explaining it in a simple and profound way.
It just happens to be a magic pet.
His familiar is still an "object familiar", which gives him skill points and life energy on time at each level. He can only awaken new abilities when he reaches level 7.
"I'll go back and check out some shortcuts for you to awaken your magic pet."
Zhao Xu said after thinking for a while.
But at this time, Yun Xiaowei showed a look of disbelief.
Unlike in the early days when everything could be shared, now anything that can speed up career progress is worth a fortune.
Even those big Vs and media accounts share mostly high-end content that ordinary people cannot access. Because it's too high-end, I can't use it and can only live with it.
However, Yun Xiaowei did not open her mouth to expose Zhao Xu.
Perhaps from the time she grew up and became sensible, she knew that the "Brother Xu" who once stood in front of her, shielded her from the wind and rain, and protected her from fighting the wild children in the community was no longer the person she thought. People who can't.
Just like the first time many people's ideals are shattered, it is when they realize how ordinary their "father" is.
However, Zhao Xu smiled meaningfully at Yun Xiaowei at this time. ���
At night, Zhao Xu finally regained ownership of his room, put on his helmet and logged in to Arthur again.
Yun Xiaowei's town is also a hundred miles away from his Winter City, so Zhao Xu is out of reach in the short term and cannot take him on the spot.
After he came into contact with the Super Demonic Storm, the two people who initially followed him have also returned to Mystra.
At the same time, Zhao Xu also left behind his backup plan and told Eliton to be his shadow, secretly watching Zheng Xinyun and reporting to him at any time.
The moment Zhao Xu realized that he would be disconnected, he also realized that he needed Arthur's native "indigenous" power, not just player teammates.
Later, when Zheng Xinyun is about to break through as a priest, Zhao Xu will naturally come back to Mystra and give a brief report on his work for the first month.
So he didn't worry too much about this aspect.
But when he turned around, Zhao Xu looked at the succubus paladin Vivian in front of him, but he felt a little dizzy.
At this time, Vivian, who was not wearing a helmet to cover her appearance, had a pure and charming face that kept touching his heartstrings.
The other party did not have the stench of the demon clan, but instead exuded a fresh and milky fragrance.
"What is your true appearance?" Zhao Xu felt that it would be okay to continue like this, and planned to let Vivian reveal her true form.
So that he can "wake up".
The easiest way to lose fans is to know that idols actually have to eat, drink and defecate.
Not a real little fairy who doesn’t eat fireworks from the world.
Now Zhao Xu knows that charm does not mean aesthetic beauty, or it can be understood as "attractiveness".
However, although the succubus priest he met in the church had a ferocious expression and hideous appearance in his opinion, from the perspective of the devil's aesthetics, he was absolutely top-notch in beauty.
After all, the succubus is close to 30 points of charm and is not a vegetarian.
So Zhao Xu needed the succubus to use her devilish appearance to wake him up, and everything was a red and pink skull.
"Mr. Zhongxia, this is my true appearance." Vivian said with her bright eyes flashing at this time.
"Do you think I look like a fool?" Zhao Xu grinned.
But Vivian shook her head at this moment, and her blond hair shawl gently brushed the tip of his nose.
"I was originally created by Cang Ye, the mother of demons, and this has been my appearance from the beginning." Wei Wei'an said.
But at this time she also showed a bitter smile.
One can imagine the kind of discrimination a demon born with human appearance would suffer in the abyss.
It is not difficult for the demon clan to see through the ability to transform.
"Is this why the instructor said you were a container before?" Zhao Xu also recalled the term Antinoya mentioned at this moment.
"That's right." Vivian nodded, "I originally existed as a container to imprison the goddess."
"Capture the goddess, then deprive her of divine fire, inject divinity into my body, and use my death to awaken the goddess's will in my body, and this body also becomes the opponent's cage. This is what The reason why the Demon Mother created me in the first place."
Vivian said, her expression returned to normal at this time.
The whole topic seemed to have nothing to do with it.
Goddess, of course, does not just refer to the goddess of magic.
But among the gods, there are no less than half of the goddesses.
No matter how delicious the soul of a mortal is, how can it be as attractive as the alluring body of a goddess who has been stripped of everything.
Zhao Xu didn't even have to think about the cruel treatment those good gods and goddesses who had a life-and-death feud with Abyss would suffer if they fell into the hands of the devil.
At this time, he couldn't help but look at Weiweian sympathetically.
It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that the succubi of the abyss are incompetent. They are machines born to indulge their desires.
And didn’t Vivian also have such a history before she was converted in May
At that time, it was natural for Vivian to play her true self.
Now that he has become a lawful good paladin, he probably hates his former self.
"Mr. Zhongxia." Vivian seemed to see through Zhao Xu's sympathetic look at this time.
She said with a hint of embarrassment, "I am pure."
A pure succubus
I'm afraid these two words are inherently incompatible in etymology.
Even combined, it’s the briefest of jokes.
As if she knew that Zhao Xu didn't believe it, Vivian couldn't help but explain, "Because I am a container, I cannot be unclean. So the demon lord Cang Ye has always kept me with him, not letting others Touch me, otherwise you won’t be able to use me to capture and imprison those goddesses.”
"So Mr. Zhongxia, I'm not dirty at all." Vivian said word by word.
After all, Arthur's folk customs are not as open as those on Earth. Promiscuity is a blasphemous behavior for many religions. ,
Chastity is the way that everyone respects.
For the paladins, it is naturally very dirty.
Zhao Xu looked confused at this time, "You didn't fall into a manure pit, how could you be dirty?"
However, Vivian did not answer Zhao Xu at this time, but stared at her with pursed lips and bulging eyes, as if she could hit him through the network cable.
But after listening to this explanation, Zhao Xu also understood what extraordinary things Ernest's first believer, the powerful legendary sorceress Ms. May, had brought back to the world.
No wonder the Mage Association arranged for Antinoya to come to May for an interview.
It's just that Antinoya had bigger plans later, so she reached a certain compromise with May.
The name Cang Ye is one of the few new demon lords that Zhao Xu has learned recently.
She appeared in the history of the abyss very early, and there were even several abyss lords who were themselves descendants of Cang Ye.
That's why she is called the Mother of Demons.
Undoubtedly, Vivian was probably one of Cang Ye's plans, but was later foiled by May, who was even sent to protect him.
"This weapon in your hand?" Zhao Xu asked.
He noticed that the long sword in Vivian's hand was unusual. Just by getting closer, he could feel the chill coming from it, which was a heart-breaking feeling.
This is true even in the middle of summer, let alone the coldest month of winter.
"This sword in my hand."
At this time, Vivian canceled her original kneeling posture, held the sword hilt upside down, and handed it to Zhao Xu.
The cross of the sword hilt is inlaid with five rubies of different sizes, which are dazzling.
The one at the end is like a bright shooting star in a starry night, exuding a mysterious halo.
"Is it the legendary one?" Zhao Xu was stroking the straight lines on the sword.
"Yes, Holy Avenger." Vivian said.
As if in response, the sword began to buzz.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but nod.
It is actually a small artifact of a paladin with a market price of at least 120,000 gold coins.
This long sword, obtained by outsiders, is an ordinary +2 cold iron long sword.
But in the hands of the paladin, after awakening faith, it will become a "+5 holy cold iron long sword". At the same time, the paladin and the surrounding neighbors will gain spell resistance of "5 + paladin level".
And a paladin with a long sword can activate and use a regional "higher dispel magic" once every round.
It can be said that it is the dream goal of countless paladins.
Zhao Xu also handed it back gently at this time.
At the same time, he had noticed that after carrying his "intellectual headscarf" for more than 24 hours, he finally received this reminder -
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your intelligence gains a +6 enhancement bonus (intelligence hood)]
In an instant, his attributes soared to a full 28 points.
At this moment, Zhao Xu finally became the most intelligent among the players.
In an instant, his spell slots also increased, and the difficulty of the spell's saving throw also increased by 3 levels.
Countless people want to obtain attribute improvement, but it is the most difficult one. The only thing many people can rely on is the opportunity to strengthen attribute points obtained at level 4.
At this time, Zhao Xu's improvement was naturally no small matter. The originally complicated spell model became clear again.
"Let's go, let's go and say goodbye to our mentor first." Although Zhao Xu had returned to the floating city at this time, he knew that he didn't have much time to stay.
Vivian immediately resumed her role and followed Zhao Xu step by step, looking like she was protecting him.
"Have you known my mentor before?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.
But Vivian nodded.
"Anyone who has experienced the Final Jihad knows her." Vivian said. "Before my Lord left this world, he used the fall of the 'Magic Empire' as the price to overdraw and accumulate a shocking 'secret'."
"In exchange for a promise from the gods, after he leaves this world, the young lady can safely survive the final holy war."
"That was a war that re-divided the powers of the gods and determined mankind's path to the Lord of Arthur."
"How did that Arcane King die?"
Zhao Xu suddenly asked a question whose answer had not been recorded in any documents.
At this time, Vivian's eyes were brimming with tears.
"My Lord is not dead."
"He just disappeared at that time, just mysteriously disappeared into Arthur."
"It was like, he showed up mysteriously."
