After the group of "Chimeras" who attacked the training militia were killed by Zhao Xu and his party, they were transformed into skeletal undead creatures and brought back.
Zhao Xu's personal reputation has reached its peak again.
No matter how terrifying the legend of the mage is, it is still false to the residents of these small towns.
Only when this kind of naked strength is displayed in front of them can everyone understand the crushing situation.
If he tries to compete with Zhao Xu again, he will just hit the stone with eggs, and even his family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated.
No matter how domineering the players are, they all realize how powerful Zhao Xu is with a "white dragon" familiar.
After Zhao Xu established the "Lord's Mansion" department in the city hall, he pasted his "announcement" on the bulletin board on the outer wall.
This is also the place where town announcements issue various policy orders. Only when they are pasted above and made public are they officially legal.
Zhao Xu's first announcement clearly stated that the player "Pastor Yoona" relied on the divine blessing of the believers to find the Chimera lair first.
Therefore, she got a "Book of Understanding" related to the +5 inherent bonus of Wisdom for the priest's main attribute.
Strictly speaking, a War Priest may have higher requirements for strength than perception, especially as the Priest's melee combat ability is exploited by players and "Divine Grace" and "War Domain" are promoted.
War animal husbandry starting plans with 16 power and 14 perception are also beginning to appear among players.
Basically, caster players no longer pursue the most extreme 18-point main attribute as they did at the beginning of the game.
According to the fact that 15 perception is required to cast the five-ring magic, everyone realizes that the five-ring is too far away, and it is better to live in the moment. It will not be too late to supplement it with equipment and upgrade attribute points when it is really needed in the later stage.
At this time, the warrior players were embarrassed to find that they did not have a war pastor who could fight, so the barbarians could barely save some face by relying on their violent posture.
As for Zhao Xu's announcement that the rare item worth an additional 100,000 gold coins was obtained by a level 1 priest, although it aroused some suspicion, Zheng Xinyun who participated was also a kind priest, which greatly enhanced his persuasion.
To be able to become a "priest", one must have conduct that conforms to the will of the camp and the gods. This is basically recognized by the majority of players.
It’s not that everyone is inexperienced and doesn’t know how to choose a powerful profession like a priest that can fight and kill.
But it really can't be done.
The faith check and the integrity check are basically the obstacles to the combination.
No matter how sneaky a warrior is, the sword in his hand is still sharp.
But for a priest who has betrayed his faith and belief, the radiance of divine magic in his hands will never shine again.
Therefore, the "mission" released by Zhao Xu has indeed been "verified". This mission, worth more than 100,000 gold coins, is not at the same level as the difficulty of finding a nest, which greatly stimulates the majority of adventure teams.
In particular, the adventurer team that later provided information about other unregistered lairs also received a certain amount of information fees, so their trip was not in vain.
This made everyone stare at the bulletin board for all the "mission information" about the Lord's Mansion.
After several positive feedbacks, everyone also vaguely regarded the player "Zhongxia" as a kind of NPC in the game.
In other words, the opponent is already a master who has broken away from their ranks of players.
With the arrival of early spring, the construction of the "Mage Association Residency" in the town is in full swing, and is about to be completed, waiting for subsequent spellcasters and arcane craftsmen from the capital to join.
During this period, in addition to occasionally downloading dungeons and participating in player actions, Zhao Xu also silently cultivated his own candidates.
Basically, most of the people he was familiar with in his previous life, Zhao Xu had interacted with more or less after his rebirth.
He was like an adventurer who had been wandering around for many years. He suddenly woke up one morning and saw the dew on the white flowers outside the window sill. He suddenly realized that he could return to his hometown and resume his original peaceful life.
During this period, as players exchanged resurrection stones for experience, some lucky people began to successfully reach a new level.
It also made Zhao Xu's level 8 status not so dazzling.
At the same time, as the number of divine favors from the gods increased, news of an adventurer receiving divine favor appeared on the forum from time to time.
Even a few days ago, there were rumors that a certain half-orc player in the orc kingdom, who was favored by the God of War, almost broke through to level 8 during a hunt against more than ten bipedal flying dragons with a challenge level of 6.
As the server reaches its sixth month, no less than 300 players have successfully reached level 7.
Among them, the first twenty players to reach the top may break through to level 8 at any time.
It is even rumored that level 6 players such as spell casters such as mage and priest have appeared.
The three-ring spell "Fireball" has also begun to shine in the hands of the top twenty mage players in the game.
Although it cannot cause absolute damage to current warriors and barbarians of the same level, it is enough to cause a "clearing" effect on level 1 and 2 players and low-level monsters.
This is also the first time that Arthur has made players feel "cool".
It finally feels a bit like killing monsters wantonly in traditional online games.
At this time, everyone also began to realize that these top players were only one step away from the player Zhongxia who was on the altar.
They are no longer working hard to catch up with each other and avoid triggering the gapping treaty.
But as long as these top 20 level 7 melee players try their best.
They can be on the same level as Zhong Xia.
Even if the opponent breaks through to level 9, he still cannot trigger the jump again.
Players can also save face for the first time.
It’s just that Zhong Xia spent every day at the association’s construction site, Falling Star Lake, and the mining area, and even went out to fight monsters only once a week.
Sometimes he fished in that unremarkable lake for an entire afternoon.
Or holding a generous book with complicated patterns, swaying with the waves in a boat on the lake. The women on the boat also change from time to time.
It's as if he has regarded "Arthur" as a health game.
Zhao Xu's situation of not being able to reach level 1 in two months was completely different from the terrifying gap of level 2 in one month and level 8 in four months, crushing the second place by a full three levels.
If Zhao Xu hadn't taken action occasionally, he could still use the fourth-ring magic to crush and shock everyone, otherwise there would have been a backlash in the town.
Most players also lamented it.
Especially with the simultaneous opening of the three servers of "American Server", "Asian Server" and "European Server", and the merging of foreign server players into Arthur, this anxiety has become more and more profound.
Although most of the birth points of players in other servers deviate from the common towns in the current national server.
But Zhao Xu's move of being stuck at level 8 for two whole months also made everyone worry about whether the scenery at level 9 was like a chasm, difficult to cross to see.
"Mr. Zhongxia, you are very leisurely."
Zheng Xinyun rowed the oar of the small boat hard, pushing away the waves, and slowly floated on the dreamy Falling Star Lake under the sunset.
To outsiders, Zhao Xu didn't even do any physical work. He just held a book in his hands and read while letting Zheng Xinyun, a girl, row the oar. Even if the other person was a 12-power priest, it was somewhat ungentlemanly.
"Not convinced?" Zhao Xu said jokingly.
Zheng Xinyun was seen puffing his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"I just want you to know that although the gods are to a large extent the product of faith and priesthood personification, and many of the original human hearts have been worn away, it is still undeniable that they can still make deals in essence."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked at Zheng Xinyun, "As long as I am more valuable to the god you believe in, He will rely on me."
Not to mention, He is me.
Zhao Xu secretly thought.
Zheng Xinyun held her breath while rowing the heavy wooden handle of the oar, "I knew that Mr. Zhongxia would definitely yell at your wife in the future."
"Haha, let's talk about it, let's talk about it." Zhao Xu suddenly couldn't help but laugh, and he felt proud in his heart.
But Zheng Xinyun looked at Zhao Xu strangely, "But Mr. Zhongxia, you are quite interested."
Zheng Xinyun, who was obviously obsessed with preaching, slowly rose to the unprecedented level of Level 3 in two months.
This also made her tilt her chin up slightly when she thought about it.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh. Zheng Xinyun had finally worked hard to preach to the believers and accumulated the power of faith that was fed back to him. Zhao Xu basically had no money left and fed all of it back to Zheng Xinyun.
Otherwise, how could she reach level 3 so quickly
As a result, she now disliked him.
Zhao Xu suppressed a smile and said, "What's the matter? Do you think this 50-gold-coin rowing boat is not magnificent enough?"
"If you have this elegance, I can invite you to take a bigger ship."
Zheng Xinyun frowned, "Mr. Zhongxia, this is what I want to warn you about."
"Sister Ningwei told me that you ordered a three-masted sailboat worth 30,000 gold coins from the Capital Shipyard. Mr. Zhongxia, are you planning to start a trade around the Yongdong River?"
Many players in Arthur have realized that they do not need to upgrade and can still rely on the characteristics of the earth to engage in corresponding industries.
Commerce, the oldest profession on earth, is booming among players.
Several giant-level large-scale chambers of commerce have also begun to appear among players, and they have even come into contact with the powerful classes in towns and monopolized the trade of some supplies.
Zheng Xinyun also had various doubts in her heart when she thought that Zhao Xu had turned to commercial purchases instead of simply purchasing magic equipment to improve himself.
I thought Zhao Xu also wanted to make "money" that was as easy as on earth.
However, Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "The three-masted sailboat is nearly 40 meters long and 5 meters wide. In addition to the three masts, there are 70 oar positions on each side of the hull. It requires a total of 200 crew members and can carry 150 tons of cargo or 250 soldiers. Don’t you think this ship is a bargain?”
In fact, Zheng Xinyun didn't know that Zhao Xu also paid an additional eight thousand gold coins to modify the sailboat and install a shipbreaking hammer and three shooting towers at the front, middle and rear.
"A man's dream is all about the stars and the sea." Zhao Xu said foolishly.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. This ship cannot cross the ocean. It can only travel along the coast or paddle." Zheng Xinyun corrected.
This means that the ship can flow along the Northern Alliance, the river of eternal winter that runs through the entire Northland.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt that Zheng Xinyun in front of him was a little smarter, and he made it clear that he had done enough homework before mentioning it to her.
This shows that the other party's suggestion to him is not just Zheng Xinyun's idea.
Perhaps, it represents the views of many people.
But Zhao Xu couldn't explain that in addition to preparing food on the one hand, he was also preparing sufficient transportation capacity for dispatch.
The Everwinter River that runs through the entire Northland can reach the "wilderness" where people on earth appear after crossing it.
As long as a port is built there, a steady stream of supplies will be available from the entire Northland.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough money.
So Zhao Xu has already arranged manpower to go to some shipyards to prepare to purchase large sailboats.
"call out-"
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the lake.
When players discovered that the movements on earth could be perfectly reproduced in Arthur, many players who could not whistle have mastered this skill with their more dexterous fingers.
Seeing Zheng Xinyun's eyebrows raised, Zhao Xu looked over from a distance and realized that a group of strange players noticed the actions of the two people on the lake and whistled from a distance.
"It's a spring tour group."
Zhao Xu glanced at the flag leading the team and confirmed everyone's identities on the spot.
"Don't want to make progress." Zheng Xinyun muttered to himself.
On the post road coming from Winter City, there were seven or eight warrior players wearing full body armor at the front.
Even if the server has been open for half a year, those who can now possess this kind of equipment can be said to be the best among players. Ordinary civilians have no way to deal with this kind of warrior who is like being under a can.
This is why medieval knights with armor were nobles.
Behind these warriors serving as escorts, there were also a ranger, a priest, and a rogue. It could be said that their ten-person team escorted the "tourist group" of nearly forty or fifty people.
As Arthur's reputation becomes more and more prominent, many players who find it difficult to complete the training turn to focus on the scenery in the game.
They are also the most famous "gold coin tour group".
As long as the money is available, adventurers who are not afraid of death may even dare to take these sightseeing groups to the dragon's lair and then enjoy a one-day tour of Dragon's Breath.
Because most of this group of sightseeing players who only come to see the scenery are life-defying people with a constitution of 18 and a dual strength specialty (+3 health points).
Just to save a life to see the great rivers and mountains of the entire Arthur country.
Therefore, they also dare to challenge the strong ones.
The worst case scenario is just to register an account again.
It is precisely because Zheng Xinyun knows this that she understands that there is basically nothing she can do about these shameless players in the tour group.
"If he blows it again, I'll make him regret it."
At this time, Zhao Xu continued to flip through the classic book in his hand - "Mystra's Spell Guard: A Secret History, A Song of Blood and Fire".
However, Zheng Xinyun's behavior of turning his head and turning a blind eye further aroused the slick men in the tour group who had just started to boo, and they burst into laughter on the spot.
Suddenly the person next to him hurriedly said, "Don't seek death, others are the lords of this town."
"Oh, is that the missing number one player?" the man who just whistled said with a smile.
