004 Red Clay Town

Roland walked out of the church door with the rickety old man, although the morning sun was not dazzling, but in the face of the rising sun, he had to subconsciously close his eyes.

After a few seconds, Roland got used to the sun, he opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the blue sky, pure blue and clean, not like modern society, with a little gray in the blue.

Under the blue sky, there was a large phosphorescent lake with a few leaf-like black spots on the lake, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was actually a fishing boat.

Around this great lake, there are many green tiles, red tiles, and buildings of varying heights, and there are many paths in the complex, in which people walk like black spots like ants.

A large bluestone bridge connects the two ends of the lake and divides the blue lake into two parts.

Roland stood on the edge of the rocks, breathing in the fresh air, listening to the rustle of the leaves in the breeze in his ears, his mind seemed to be washed, and after calming down for a long time, he said to the old man beside him: "This is Red Earth Town?" I think it's more appropriate to call it Lakeside Town. ”

Falken's white eyebrows drooped, and his mood seemed to be a little lost: "This name is not good...... Your Excellency Roland, what are your plans next? ”

Bad name? Is it not good, or is it something else? Roland was a little curious, but seeing that Falken's expression was not very good, he did not continue to ask. Now Roland really admires the game development company, this virtual online game is too realistic, whether it is the scene, or the demeanor and expression of the NPCs.

The most important thing is that the game completely restores the human senses, such as sight, smell, taste, touch, etc. In addition to the pain being reduced to one-tenth, of course, this is a measure to protect the player, after all, if it really perfectly simulates the pain when being injured, or being killed, there are few players in the server, except for those masochists, who can survive.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Roland thought for a while, and then said uncertainly: "It should be a casual walk, take a look, and have fun." ”

Falken looked at Roland in surprise, and his slightly squinted old eyes widened: "It's as simple as that, shouldn't it be a great ideal like saving the world, defeating the demons, or slaying dragons to become famous?" ”

Hearing Falken's half-surprised, half-mocking tone, Roland smiled and said slowly: "I'm a very ordinary person, I don't know what you think of us...... The Son of Gold, that's the word, but most of us, when we come to this world, really just have the idea of walking around, seeing, and having fun. Maybe our ideals will change in the future, but that's the case for now. ”

This is Roland's true words, at first he thought it was a mission, but looking at Falken, he really had no way to treat the other party as a pure NPC, after all, it was too real.

Roland is not a fool, and how the NPC in the game should speak, and how the real person should speak, are completely different things. Although it is clear that Falken is an NPC, Roland feels that he is talking to a real person.

Chat with a gentle old man, don't ask for too much sympathy, but at least not too perfunctory.

Falken looked at Roland, a strange glint flashed in his old eyes, he had never seen such a strange human as Roland. obviously has an immortal body, but the biggest ideal is to walk, see, and play.

What if that ability was put on someone else? I guess I've been so arrogant that I don't know where to go, what success is just a small thing, and having the ambition to conquer the world even feels normal.

The golden child in front of him actually just wants to walk, see, and play? Not many people will believe it, because it doesn't make sense. But Falken felt that he would believe it, he had seen many professionals, all of them were extremely angry, and the person in front of him, without a trace of anger, was as clean as a baby.

"There must be no war or killing in your original plane." Falken looked at the clear eyes of the young man opposite and sighed, "It's so good. ”

"Actually, there are." Roland shook his head helplessly: "It's just that the country I'm in, the law and order have always been very good, singing and dancing are peaceful, and the country is safe and healthy, although there are occasionally some strange things, but they are quite far away from me." ”

For Roland, this is a very common explanation. But for Falken, it was a naked show-off. The refreshing morning breeze blew and blew the old man's white robe, and he let out a long sigh: "If only I could live in your world." ”

Roland looked at the old priest with interest.

Because of his college major, he has also been exposed to those so-called intelligent AI, and he naturally has no chance to see the famous Alpha Pig, but Penguin's intelligent AI, 'Xiaowei', he has seen it a few times.

Normal daily conversations, 'Xiaowei' does a good job, no different from ordinary people, but when it comes to some deeper conversations, such as outlook on life, world view, and even lamenting things like Spring and Autumn, 'Xiaowei''s 'IQ' is obviously not enough, and it will answer very rigidly, with a very mechanical sense of hardness.

But the old man in front of him, whether it is the tone and demeanor when chatting, or even sadness, envy and other emotions, are no different from normal people.

Roland didn't think Penguin's 'Vicky' could do that. Moreover, according to the revelations on the official website of the setting, the number of intelligent life in this game world is as high as more than 15 billion, and every intelligent NPC is no different from a real person.

Penguin Company, which is famous for its copycats, has developed what kind of black technology, which is terrifying.

Before entering the game, Roland didn't believe in such publicity, and game companies would always exaggerate their products. But looking at the old man named Falken in front of him, he believed it, and he could imagine how wonderful the world would be if the other NPCs were all like this, with their own personalities and souls.

With the real scenery and completely realistic NPCs, Roland feels that his long-cooled heart of the game seems to be burning again.

He slapped his thigh hard, turned his head and asked, "Old man Falken, how do you get to the nearest big city from here?" ”

Falken was taken aback, and the young man, who had been acting calmly just now, suddenly burst into a strange enthusiasm. The other party's eyes were still clear and clean, but in the pupils like a clear spring, there was an extra ray of crystal light.

"If you walk along the main road to the west, if you walk, you will see the city of Delbon in about four hours." Falken paused for a moment, and then continued: "When you go to Delbon City, it is best not to leave the avenue, there is a mountain road outside Red Town, the road is lined with maple forests, there are many giant spiders in it, generally they will not take the initiative to come to our human territory, but if they are really hungry, they will also go crazy to prey on humans. ”

"Thank you, old man."

Roland waved his hand with his back to Falken and walked down the gray-white stone steps of the mountain path. The morning sun was as bright as orange, the mountain breeze was like a veil, and as he walked slowly, the sound of the town's phantious and real noise also came to his ears.

Roland wanted to open his arms and embrace the blue sky and white clouds, but that seemed too much for the middle two.

He just pursed the corners of his mouth and whispered softly:

Fran World, I'm coming.
