Chapter 51: The World of the Substitutes

Natalia picked up the teacup beside her and drank it dry in one gulp, the white lady seemed to be very fond of the drink made from oriental leaves. After another expression of great enjoyment, she stood up, and the three of them stood up one after another.

"Instead of telling you about this here, let's just take a trip. Natalia took a few steps towards the door, then turned to look at the trio who had already stood up, "For the first-time Mission-Forwarder, everything there will even make you forget the existence of the mission. ”

In the end, he turned around and faced Natalia outside the door a little casually, and said to the three people behind him: "By the way, can you tell me what your mission is?"

When Severia and Elysée heard this, they all looked at Adès, who was standing between them.

Yades slowly walked up to the red-haired petite woman in front of him, and instead of answering the other party's question, he asked, "How long have you been a surrogate?"

"Let's talk as we go. Severia, who was behind her, was probably a little impatient and walked out of the living room first.

A small smile appeared at the corner of Elysée's mouth, she obviously knew the woman who had just walked out better than Ades, the woman who was extremely arrogant.

The Empress of the Dragon Clan had been pretending to be curious all along.

And she was just asking questions for Ades, although the powerful polar goddess was a little interested in the world of surrogates, but just like this demon descendant could immediately perceive the seemingly weak Severia, the hidden incomparably high personality, she could also clearly feel that the level of those surrogate agents who were active in this town was not worth mentioning at all.

The weak elf named Natalia in front of him should be the strongest person in this town.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Elysée's mouth, and then she followed Severia out of the living room.

Looking at Severia and Elysée, who had gone out of the living room one after another, this made Natalia, who had always thought that she was in control of the situation and had the initiative in the dialogue, feel quite depressed.

"Your two big darlings have just left you behind, I think it's time to think about other candidates. Natalia teased Ades, and was about to walk out when she was taken aback again.

The two women seemed to hear what they had just said, and then they all stopped and turned to look at themselves.

Natalia, who felt the great pressure, instantly froze in place.

Is this man that special?

"Continuing with what we just said, Miss Natalia," Ades said, taking a step, "how long have you been a Substitute?"

"Exactly a hundred years. As she spoke, Natalia stepped to the front of the four again.

Yades walked to Natalia's side in a few steps, followed by Severia and Elysée, who had to walk side by side, although they didn't like each other.

"Is the world of the Substitute Walker cruel?"

Natalia smiled with a faint wry smile on her face: "It's cruel and it's not cruel. ”

Glancing at Yades, who showed a curious expression, Natalia sighed and said, "The one who led me into the world of surrogates and led me to familiarize myself with all this is a powerful surrogate who has traveled in countless worlds for nearly a thousand years. ”

"A thousand years? ”

"Most people would care more about 'countless worlds,'" Natalia gave him a thoughtful look at Adès, then continued, "and he died on the day he turned a thousand years old. ”

"Becoming a surrogate gives you access to a near-infinite life, and like most human beings, there are very few people who can live for a hundred years. From this point of view, who can say that the surrogate system that has given us a long life is cruel?"

Elysée, who was standing not far behind the two, couldn't help but ask, "How can I become a substitute?"

She couldn't help but think of her mother, even if she was as powerful as her father, she didn't even know about the existence of the agent, otherwise with his ability, why didn't he let his mother become a agent?

"Let me finish answering this gentleman's question first," Natalia said and smiled, "We've been talking for so long, don't you all introduce yourselves?"

"My name is Yades, and this is Severia. Yades said, pulling Severia, who was standing behind him and slowly a little absent-minded, to his side, and then pointed at Elysée and said, "That big beauty is called Elysée, and we can get here because of her help." ”

"You obviously have a lot of secrets in you," Natalia said after glancing at the Elysée, then continuing, "In the world of the Surrogate, there is a hurdle every certain number of years. As long as it wasn't too bad luck, the agents would survive the first ten years, or in other words, traveling through various worlds during the ten years, completing some very interesting tasks assigned by the system, which was a pleasure in itself. Best of all, there will be no penalties even if you don't complete the task.

And at the end of the first decade, the first punitive mission is issued. Although the consequences of losing a mission are not very terrible, they are just some loss of money or equipment. This kind of task will be repeated over and over again for the next 90 years. During this time, we will meet some people, form trusting partners and become a strong team.

Then in the first hundred years, we will encounter the first death mission. The world has finally shown us its cruel side. Especially in this first centennial mission, each agent must leave his team and face this life-and-death assessment alone. ”

"That is, you're not on vacation at all now?" said Elysée with a smile.

"'Vacation' is what most agents call for their 100-year death assessment. Because, in fact, very few people will die in their first death mission. Compared to the countless death missions that followed, this mission is really like a vacation. ”

"Is it because this task is relatively simple?" Sevelia, who was pulled to Yades's side, was in a good mood at this time, and began to play with her curiosity.

"Because everyone's centennial mission is the same, we will all come here, and we will be the first assembly place of the Agents after we become the Agents. ”

Hearing this, Yades asked, somewhat puzzled, "In other words, all the surrogates first came to this world, and then they will come to this world again in a hundred years?"

"The first time we became a surrogate, the tenth, the hundredth, the thousandth, we will all return to this world, and if we live long enough in the surrogate world, maybe we will return here in the tenth thousand. ”

With a smile, Yades glanced at Severia, who was suddenly leaning on his arm, and then continued to ask, "What exactly is this centennial mission?"
