Chapter 254: Prologue

Xingtai Island, a very memorable name, a very beautiful island.

With a total population of less than 30,000 people, it has an abundant living area and natural area, and behind the town there are not only mountains and lakes, but also an endless forest.

Most of the houses in the town are simple wooden frames, which are clearly the result of local materials.

The blue sky makes people feel happy, and the unfamiliar touch of stepping on the soft sand makes a group of inland people even more excited.

Being able to get the position of garrisoning a warband and become the guardian and ruler of one side is even more incredible to young people...... Well, it's just a short-term substitute.

However, compared with the wandering and patrolling war groups, the expatriate war groups with their own permanent areas are equivalent to having their own territories and resource points, and having experimental fields that can plan their own wishes at will (but not the line), although they are still a part of human society, they also have almost unlimited rights and freedoms.

This can be seen from the dragon egg world back then....... When a garrison officer is stubborn, others can only suggest and persuade, but in the end there is still no way, this is still that small world is not far from the city.

For some areas far away from the Tiangao Emperor, as long as you complete the tasks of your superiors, other things are generally not asked, and the garrison legions and warbands have unlimited power.

Of course, for these "children", what is gratifying is the recognition of their own.

It stands to reason that only a war group that has practiced for at least ten years is qualified to be stationed in a certain place alone, which is not only about combat strength, but also about all-round maturity and ability.

But [33 fo] after the initial excitement, Zheng Li and the others noticed that something didn't seem quite right.

"Hey, kids, it's not ....... to eat sugar"

The horned little boy turned around and ran, and before Zheng Li's outstretched hand could be withdrawn, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

On March 12, the sky was sunny and cloudy, but the old sailors said that the fishy smell of the sea breeze carried the news that the storm was coming, and that there might be a succession of fish disasters and shipwrecks to follow.

This is already the second day that the Peace War Regiment has been stationed on Xingtai Island (internally numbered 3123 Island), and the handover and change of guard with the two local garrison war groups has been completed, but after the initial spirit, what is obtained is a reality that exceeds expectations.

"Failed again, how do you feel, we have become outsiders instead......"

More than 20% of the residents here are foreign human communities, and more than 3 percent are foreign races, including but not limited to the local intelligent ghost clan, accounting for most of the 50%, which is the race of the little boy who just ran away - ghost people.

Half-human, half-ghost, or once human.

Some of them have half a broken horn, some have a ghost scratch on their right arm, and some are more than three meters tall but they are children.

They are local aborigines, but they are not a hybrid of ghosts and humans, and normal hybrids will basically only appear half-ghosts and ghosts, which are still quite stable inheritances, and will not be like this as if a genetic mutation.

"Ghosts? You're not a warband on our side? Oh, that's indeed a specialty of our side, a product of the old times, and some of it is active, similar to bestiality, and that's also a muddled account. Some of them are passive, staying here for too long, being eroded by the rules unique to the region, gradually ghosting, and inheriting this trait......... It's hard to say whether they're subhumans or inhumans, as long as they don't enter the Four Spirits system (with spirit blades), you have to treat them as foreigners. ”

Stay here? The amount of information is too much, but when the war group leader said the end, when he heard the keyword "foreign", Zheng Li thought that he had heard it wrong.

Foreign? A foreigner like Artel? Preparedness and vigilance? Hostile and wary?

At that time, the commander of the war regiment was afraid that Zheng Li would not understand, so he added a sentence.

"When you go out, don't trust appearances, not everyone who looks like a human is a fellow human being. Those who have a blade are humans, and those who don't...... No. At least, not yet. ”

This sentence "not yet" is very quintessential.

Soon, Zheng Li knew that not only did he and his party have to be careful to guard against these local ghosts, but those ghosts saw their "outsiders" with blades, and they did not hesitate to dodge and avoid.

It's just a child, not to mention taking the candy in his hand, seeing that his party is running far away.

"Huh! Do you still have windmills? Horseshoe? I don't use it! You see I'm running so fast, I don't need a horseshoe at all. ”

Everyone was on guard, with the exception of a few or two members of the Peace Band.

For example, Lin Qiaoyi, who is now playing with a group of ghost children, is dragging a kite and holding the children to play with horses, and they are having a lot of fun with their very similar mental age.

And another special case, of course, is Lin Yuying.

"Soma.....?!"

"Soma" is the meaning of "adult" in the language of the ghost clan, and the ghost man who exclaimed in amazement hurriedly lowered his head and pushed it away, making way for Lin Yuying...... Before Lin Yuying walked over, he didn't even dare to move while standing on the side of the road

And this kind of thing doesn't just happen to ghost people, the few wise ghost clans here see that Lin Yuying is also respectful, it seems that her appearance is quite high-ranking ghost clan.

And when she went shopping, the ghost manager in the store was even more humble and flattering to the extreme, and he didn't even dare to ask for money for free, and he didn't dare to look up at her the whole time........ Seeing this scene, Zheng Li vaguely guessed something.

"Ghost people, once a slave race of the ghost clan?"

"Yes, there aren't many ghosts on our side, and most of them have been bought in recent years. More idiots on the other side. To the real ghost people, the ghost people are slaves and commodities, and even spare food. Oh, they are like this to the foreigners who are not ghostly enough, slaves, livestock, rations. ”

This level of intelligence support, the arithmetic Lu Sanqi made it public very bluntly.

The Peace War Regiment can be called an elite group, and there are basically no fools, and they already know what this means.

When they happily accept the duties and honors of an adult and a one-man warband, what greets them is the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the adult world.

"An adult ghost man, a white silk horse is enough, a minor has a small bag of rice, and the craftsman has the skill to add some flavorful vegetables, and the wise ghost clan especially likes these, such as kimchi and mustard, they are not short of meat. Farther away, a bag of mustard can even buy several ghost beauties, and if you buy in large quantities, you can also get a discount, and I have a channel if you want to buy it. ”

“....... No, thanks. ”

Looking at Lu Sanqi with a calm face, Zheng Li really didn't know if he was serious or joking.

"Why don't you take it out...... Oh, being eroded too deeply by the rules of this world, and going out will become weak? But becoming a sword master to make up for spiritual energy should be able to heal. ”

"Not only that, but they're quite unreliable, and we've suffered a lot. The Prophet made a judgment that all the ghost people must remain in the Old Days Islands, including the ghost sword masters, our compatriots. ”

Zheng Li blinked and didn't say anything more.

After all, this is the domain of Digital City, and it is their internal affairs, and it is impossible for a transitional guest to make an accurate judgment, let alone make any reliable suggestions.

And what he didn't know was that when the dark history was gradually revealed, this was only the beginning, the most inconsequential part.

Now Zheng Li only vaguely felt that this entrusted task, the nominal first round of the team competition, did not seem to be so simple, and it was not at all as relaxed and enjoyable as expected.

But fortunately, compared to other warbands that were also completely unprepared, he seemed to have won at the starting line.
