As Zhao Xu introduced himself, everyone sitting in the atrium suddenly looked at him with slightly thoughtful eyes.
Although everyone has now traveled to Arthur, there are still very few people who introduce themselves with a place name. It sounds like they think they are official high-level people, and they are proud of it.
But everyone obviously hasn't forgotten the tone of "Zhao Xu" mentioned by Zheng's mother. For a while, everyone stared at Zhao Xu standing at the door.
"Why are you still standing there?" Zheng Xinyun's grandfather immediately scolded the two family members who were waiting at the door.
They suddenly came to their senses and quickly bowed to invite Zhao Xu inside.
Mage can be said to be one of the few noble professions in Arthur at this time.
Especially in the current wild and dead land, as long as there are players, professional training is being carried out one after another. However, the mage profession has not been developed much due to difficulty.
In other words, only Yanan has this condition at this moment.
Therefore, the caster professions in the wilderness and the dead land were all completely equal choices before the players, and were not divided into three, six or nine. Now after traveling through time, due to the different evaluations, they slowly began to become more precious.
A visit from a mage and a visit from a warrior are indeed treated differently.
And Zhao Xu did not have the original indifference and self-confidence on the outside. Looking at the familiar faces of Zheng's father and Zheng's mother from ten years ago, he felt even more distressed and missed.
Judging from Zheng Xinyun's family background, if it were not for Arthur, the two of them could be said to be on parallel lines with no chance of intersecting, even if Zhao Xu's parents were relatively wealthy.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu didn't look for the other party when the game started.
It was a distance that was difficult to get even close to.
He even looked at the entire Zheng family and Yoona's circle of friends who were present at this time.
Even though many people are down and out in Arthur, their self-confidence cultivated by their family background is still restrained.
Of course, after the first week of hunger passed, the upper class who still held on to the idea that they were superior to humans on earth had already been awakened by reality.
Even if some players try to flatter themselves with the idea of returning to Earth, after the wave of undead, they understand to some extent that only their own power is real and they can survive without starving.
Other former auras and assets have long since faded away.
Not to mention that these classes can remain standing because they are extremely sensitive to the direction of the wind and never hesitate to adopt what attitude when.
The barbaric death land at this moment is more like a doomsday dilemma on earth. The original power and capital no longer exist. Only power, which is eternal, is the new master here.
"Are you Yoona's best friend during her lifetime? I have heard your name from her. It's rare that you come here thinking of this friendship. Thank you."
At this time, Zheng's mother also stood up, holding Zhao Xu's hand and thanking him.
For some reason, she naturally had a crush on this handsome young man.
When Zhao Xu walked in, everyone was amazed at his amazing attractiveness.
On the other hand, he was also looking deeply at the four iron stones suspended above his head.
It has different colors and shapes, from spindles to prisms, from transparent to colorful, and they are constantly hovering above Zhao Xu's head.
For a moment, the players who knew the inside story of the Iron Stone couldn't help but keep silent, staring at the strange object that had escaped the shackles of gravity.
Following the iron stone, everyone slowly analyzed Zhao Xu's outfit from top to bottom - although the cloak looked simple, it could not hide the luxury of the burgundy robe inside, and the gloves, rings, and long robes The boots and even the crystals on the headband and forehead looked very likely to be magic items.
"First echelon? Is there anyone named Zhao Xu?" Some players were already muttering to themselves about Zhao Xu's identity.
"But there are only one or two magic items in the first echelon. Four iron stones are equal to four magic items. Even the top 100 players before traveling through this method may not be able to use it."
"Probably among the top."
At this time, through the introduction of the younger generation of the Zheng family, these elders also realized the price of the four extremely obvious ioun stones on Zhao Xu's head.
Even if he is equipped with an Iron Stone, it is even more unreasonable if he does not have a few magic items on his body.
Just like on earth, buying a super luxury sports car is one thing, and many businessmen can afford it. The key is that the subsequent maintenance and repair costs of the car are the bulk of the cost.
"Yooner is my close friend, and I never thought that she would suffer such a disaster." Zhao Xu said in a low voice. Coupled with his explosive charm at this moment, everyone could feel the inner sadness.
As she spoke, Mother Zheng even thought of Yoona's daily life, and felt sad for a moment.
"Are you Yoona's best friend in the game?" Suddenly Zheng Xinyun's best friend Qi Qi asked, "Why haven't I heard of you before?"
During the day, a very hungry man wanted to come in and share some food. Although he seemed to have an extraordinary status, she still had to seek confirmation.
"Didn't Auntie just say this name? Qi Qi, have you forgotten?" Another poet girl suddenly explained for Zhao Xu.
From the moment Zhao Xu came in, she looked at him very pleasantly, and she was inclined to explain to him.
"I know, but the secrets involved in Yoona's life are too big, so I think it's better to be cautious."
"We met when she was training as a priest in Mystra," Zhao Xu said.
Zhao Xu had no intention of lying to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life.
However, some things are too complicated to explain, so it would be better to be simpler.
"That's not right." Qi Qi murmured to himself, "Although your mages are also trained by Mystra, mages and priests are not in the same place."
"I was serving as a lecturer, similar to her role as a guide." Zhao Xu explained with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?"
At this time, not only Qi Qi showed an incredulous look, but also the surrounding players looked suspiciously.
"Yooner entered the game only two months late. At that time, we players had not yet developed enough to take on a role similar to that of a leader." Qi Qi retorted coldly.
"I also have a codename in the game."
At first, when facing his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life, Zhao Xu naturally used his real name, because Yoona almost always used this name when introducing them to them.
Now that his real name has been introduced, the rest of his identity is not worthy of being kept secret from his loved ones.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door again, and it sounded like there were quite a few people arriving.
Before the news could even be communicated, a group of people from outside broke in.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache and an indifferent look on his face. It could be seen from his frivolous pace that he was not a professional. On the other hand, the seven or eight people following him were basically soldiers and mercenaries.
"It's the people in charge of civil housing construction in the camp. They were the ones who approved this big house for Yoona a few days ago."
As the head of the family, Father Zheng quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to the visitor, and said politely: "Brother Liu, if you have anything to tell us, just come over. There is no need to bother you." Come over here."
If the other party were on earth, he wouldn't even take a second look at it.
But times have changed, and now it is the other party who holds the power.
The middle-aged man surnamed Liu waved his hands politely and said formulaically, "Brother Zheng, I just heard about your wife. Please don't blame me for suddenly visiting you at this time."
"What's that?" Hearing that the other party didn't even bother to mention a word of silence, Father Zheng also understood that it was not a good idea to fight.
"The main thing is this." Liu immediately took out a stack of parchment from his arms, which recorded the files of the latest allocated housing, "Brother Zheng, you also know that because of his identity as a priest, your wife Yoona and The camp has signed an assistance agreement to provide a certain amount of magical support every day."
"So the first batch of houses built in the camp after receiving support from Yanan were assigned to your family. Those players at level 5 and 6 haven't even had their turn yet, let alone the high-level non-players in the camp." Liu asked rhetorically, "You have to admit this."
Father Zheng also nodded with a heavy face, "Yes, we are indeed very grateful to the camp for this."
"But the current situation is that Pastor Yoona has passed away. And with the housing shortage, many high-level players are not even allocated a small room, and they are already very unhappy. So-" Liu said Then he looked deeply at the other person.
For a moment, all the relatives and friends of the Zheng family became noisy and looked filled with indignation.
Not to mention that the people had just left, it was about to rain heavily at this time, and the family went out to soak in the rain. Without the support of Yoona's magic, life or death would be unknown.
It’s hard to say whether the elderly people can survive it.
"What do you mean? It's only been less than half a day, but someone left and came here to recycle it so quickly?"
"Really? Who dares to fight for Yanan like this?"
"Is this the attitude towards the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Yanan?"
Suddenly, Yoona's player friends all shouted loudly.
People in the Zheng family have to bow their heads under the roof, and players like them are originally from the powerful class, and they speak loudly at this time.
But the middle-aged man surnamed Liu naturally has a foundation to get here, not to mention that there is a larger player class behind him.
He immediately showed a stiff smile and said, "Don't worry, everyone, please listen to what I have to say first."
Naturally, he was not worried about the Zheng family. But if he didn't handle this group of players well, he would still be in some trouble, so he naturally opened his mouth to explain.
"If Pastor Yoona was killed in the previous wave of undead, then according to regulations, the pension of this house will not be recovered. But the problem now is that Pastor Yoona was not on an official mission, but died in an accidental attack in the wild."
"In the beginning, the camp assigned Pastor Yoona to this house because they wanted to use her magical power. Power and responsibility complement each other. Now that Pastor Yoona has unfortunately passed away and is unable to fulfill his mission, it is appropriate to take back this special power. Do you mean it?"
Hearing this, Father Zheng's face was also stiff, but he could only calm down his inner emotions and explained: "Brother Liu, you also know that our countrymen have this kind of funeral custom, can you tolerate it for a few days and lend us this place first?" I’ll move after finishing Yoona’s funeral.”
"Not to mention that it will rain heavily now. Dozens of our family will be kicked out and we will have nowhere to live." As he said this, Father Zheng looked back at his entire family.
Originally, everyone in Sijiu City was said to be on opposite sides of the world, each living in his or her own mansion or villa.
Now that the time-travel incident has occurred, basically the whole family has defected to him. On the one hand, Zheng's father has surpassed several uncles and brothers and become the core of the entire family. Although the consequences are that more than a dozen people in a room will He was building a shop on the floor, but he had never experienced this kind of family glory.
But now, it has all turned into deep pressure.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, this is why I came here specially." Liu said and looked at the seven or eight soldiers and mercenaries behind him.
They are the collection team that came to cooperate.
"I took the liberty to come here with apologies, and it was just as the heavy rainstorm was about to come. As you know, this camp used to be the capital of the earth, and those who could settle there would not only have families and relatives everywhere. Those 5. Players at level 6 have not yet had their turn in the house, and they are also anxious about the coming heavy rain and worried about the safety of their families."
As he spoke, Liu continued to maintain his formulaic smile.
The person urging this house is the high-level player in the entire camp. He is speaking for their interests. This is not something that the group of players present, who are no more than level 3, can reverse this.
"I will go to the superiors to complain." Qi Qi stood up and protested, "Before, so many powerful and high-ranking officials in Sijiu City were in the first batch and were allocated the houses earlier than the players. Why didn't you take back their houses? Aren't you looking for a soft persimmon?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Liu smiled and said, "Ms. Qi Qi, please rest assured. As the news spreads, everyone also knows that the earth cannot go back, or it is said that the universe will be destroyed in two years. So these former upper-level officials The house we were assigned is also in the recycling sequence this time.”
After saying that, he turned to Father Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry. Pastor Yoona still has many friends. Someone will take care of you and your wife and provide accommodation."
As soon as these words came out, most of the dozens of relatives of the Zheng family behind him were heartbroken.
Among the players who can be allocated houses now, their homes are full of relatives, and they can barely make room for Zheng's father and Zheng's mother.
As for this group of people, that is definitely out of the question.
Even the players who are visiting are not allotted at the moment. Most of them are just temporary tents.
"If it were on Earth, where would it be your turn to speak so condescendingly! My cousin sacrificed her life for you, Yanan. Is this how you treat her relatives?" an adult man from the Zheng family said loudly. protested.
"Young Master of the Zheng family, times are different now." Liu said, stroking his mustache.
“This is no longer the time when you guys drove your sports cars and drove wildly on roads, using your passes to cross into important places as if you were in uninhabited territory.”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that Mr. Zheng, your family background has not reached this level yet." At this time, the middle-aged man named Liu replied with a hint of sneer.
"Why."
Suddenly a sigh came.
Suddenly everyone looked at Zhao Xu who made this sound.
The middle-aged man surnamed Liu also noticed the person with the iron stone on his head at first, and he was slightly afraid, but he was not too worried.
Because behind him stood the entire player group and the entire Yanan force.
As for Zhao Xu, who was once again locked in everyone's gaze, he was currently sighing with his hands behind his back, looking at the wooden eyes on a fir beam in the room.
This house that advanced players are fighting for is essentially the simplest adobe house, but it occupies a large enough area.
At this time, it is not necessarily difficult for players to build an adobe house outside the city, but the key is safety.
Everyone knows that the house in the center of the camp is the safest. The land here is strictly planned, and you need to have enough ability to build a big house.
As for Zhao Xu sighing, it was the first time he felt that he paid too little attention to Yoona.
When he was with Yoona in his previous life, he went to his parents-in-law's house and was even more diligent than his own.
At that time, if Zheng Xinyun was successfully promoted to a priest, he would not even be introduced to him by a matchmaker because he had already reached another circle.
Looking at this house that was also extremely leaky because it was built too quickly, Zhao Xu could only blame himself for the heated competition between you and me.
"Yooner's parents, if you are given a chance to go to the capital of Yanan, do you plan to go there or stay here?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Of course I'll stay here." Suddenly Zheng's mother said decisively, "Yoon'er was born and died here. I will never leave this place in my life. Otherwise, what will happen if her soul cannot find a home after her death?"
After saying this, several women around Zheng's mother's age burst into tears.
Others looked at Zhao Xu with expectant looks, maybe he, the mage, would be able to do something.
"Okay." Zhao Xu nodded.
Then he pressed one hand on the wall which was completely made of bare earth bricks and had no paint at all.
In an instant, the wall became hard at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the soil on the ground turned into mud and climbed up along the wall, slowly forming a second-story building style.
The next second, countless translucent invisible servants came out one after another, each carrying mud and slurry, just like hard-working servants working on the repairs of this simple house.
Then Zhao Xu took out a five-ring magic scroll and started casting the spell.
"It's the Holy Residence Technique!"
Immediately, some priest players recognized it.
"What is it? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"That's a five-ring divine spell. From now on, this area will always be covered with a three-ring anti-evil magic circle. At the same time, any corpse within the range will not be transformed into an undead creature. Generally, only sacred places such as temples can cast this kind of magic. "
Then, looking at Zhao Xu's movements, the priest's eyes widened.
"He added the spell of enduring the environment to the holy residence. This is the special effect of the holy residence. The additional spells can last for one year. During the next period, this area will be warm in winter and cool in summer."
"Oh my god, there are also death-proof enchantments, blessings, fear removal, and invisibility removal..."
"What's wrong?" At this time, everyone heard the surprise in the pastor's mouth.
"The material cost for this spell alone costs tens of thousands of gold coins."
For a moment, everyone was staring at Zhao Xu, including the middle-aged man.
This is no longer a level contest.
Tens of thousands of gold coins were thrown out casually. Everyone knew that the identity of the man in front of him was definitely unusual. Even people on earth would say otherwise from time to time.
"You go back and report to them. Just say that I will give this land to Yuner's family. It will never be easy." Zhao Xu looked at Liu and said.
The middle-aged man surnamed Liu showed a stiff expression at this time, "Mr. Master, I really admire the power you just displayed."
"But the land of Yharnan, according to the will of the original goddess, is all owned by our lord Zhongxia."
Zhao Xu said with relief -
"It's okay, I'm Zhongxia."
