"According to the latest statistics, Tania's adventurers in the March of Fire have seen a significant decrease in the floating population by ......"

"How much less?"

"Roughly calculated, about two to three percent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm...... Is it because our opening-up measures don't appeal to them? ”

In Tania's parliament hall, Speaker Pamir is discussing the current state of the principality with others at a regular parliamentary meeting. One of the middle-aged men was at this time, and he reported to everyone: "No, we have inquired about the situation with some adventurers, and there are rumors that the adventurers seem to be holding some kind of competition in some unknown place......"

"Competitions? What is the competition? ”

"A game of jousting against each other." The middle-aged man replied, "Yes...... It is similar to the ancient arena. ”

"The Principality is currently suffering so much, don't they have a place to vent their energy?"

One of the councillors sitting at the bottom whispered, "Your Excellency Pamir, are you a little overconfident in your trust in adventurers?"

Next to the vacant seat in the center is the position of the speaker, but the middle-aged man with meticulous hair did not answer his question, but a councilor on the other side stood up: "No matter what you do, they are also acting according to their own customs, which is normal behavior!" It's like your Fortes family, who have a lot of troops in their hands, but let them sleep a lot every day! I doubt that they will be able to handle the average Imperial force in their current combat capabilities......"

"Shut up!"

The dull cheer was like a bell, and it instantly suppressed the other party's doubts. The councillor who had spoken before looked at the quiet scene with great satisfaction, cleared his throat, and then continued: "Don't play dumb, Councilor Lonia, my people are quelling the rebellion in my territory, this is already a well-known thing, if those rebels are left alone, how much harm will be done to the principality, don't tell me...... You don't know. ”

"My clan doesn't have the strength to send troops right now, so ......"

"Your sophistry is still so sharp, Lord Fortes."

A middle-aged man with a big beard sitting on the other side suddenly spoke up: "There is a serious rebellion going on in your territory? If it were that serious, would you still sit here and talk to us about these unrelated issues? As far as I know, the independent state of Anderson in the south of Ferron County has been suffering from the terrible chaos for a long time, and the old Kaifa has not been seen for nearly a month, and you ...... before they did."

"How, Lord Fortson?"

"Cornelius ......"

In the gritted teeth of the next councilor, the slightly chubby man seemed to be unaware of the other party's needle-like gaze, and still said to himself: "What's more, ......"

"If something goes wrong in your territory, do you want the principality to bear it for you?"

"The Koska district has fallen, and the county of Ferron has become what it is now, but your Carolite county is unscathed, except dealing with your so-called rebellion every day - as far as I know, it is caused by your refusal to accept the refugees assigned to you by the Duchy, since the month of Fire! For so long, your so-called elite soldiers have neither lost nor quelled the riots, but just stayed there quietly......"

"Enough!"

On the opposite side of the circular platform, a dull roar finally came out again: "No matter how incompetent we are, my people can at least save their lives and dignity, and we will not easily sell our knees in order to survive!" What about you? Fars Fortress is still in a precarious state, and I see how long you can survive with those adventurers every day! ”

"At least we're making the other side pay, not like you...... When the head is shrunken turtle! ”

"You won't say that when those untouchables stab us in the back...... The merchant of Talonshire, the spokesperson of the adventurers! ”

"You ......"

"Alright."

Raising a hand, Pamir finally spoke up to interrupt the seemingly endless bickering. He pinched his brows, then put his hands on the back and sat back down, "The defense of the principality is already very fragile, and it needs everyone's cooperation, if you have a disagreement, it is best to wait until everything is over before discussing it." But judging by the current situation......"

The speaker leaned forward slightly: "The assistance of adventurers is still necessary."

The next member of parliament opened his eyes as if he wanted to say something more, but at last he sat there quietly and did not say anything more.

"Carlos, keep reporting, hmm...... Let's talk about the situation at the adventurer's station. ”

"Okay." The man who spoke first flipped the page in his hand and cleared his throat: "Since March into the Fire, the growth of the adventurer's station has begun to slow down......"

"My lord, there's news over there."

During the reading, a man ran up to Congressman Fortes and whispered a few words while looking at the members present. Hearing those words, Councillor Fortes closed his eyes and nodded, then waved the other party away, thinking for a while at the sound of Carlos's report, and finally opened his eyes and exchanged glances with some of the people next to him.

“…… Adventurers who have been forced to go out in search of opportunities have now spread all over Tania, and some have even reached the territory of Anderson. And the Fars Fortress ...... "Carlos turned the page:" According to the information of the commander of the fortress, Dusk, the number of adventurers there has increased by about two percent in the past month.

Wow -

"Twenty percent? Why so many? ”

"What is Dusk doing, are those people in charge of the defense of the principality?"

"Rika, Rika! Come over to me! The first few **** told me about the ......"

"When the Empire was attacking, there were countless adventurers assisting them, why are they starting to help us again?"

Amid a sudden buzzing whisper, Pamir gradually opened his eyes, looked at everyone around the council and whispered, "It seems...... The situation of the Principality has not yet reached disappointing proportions. ”

"It's time for a change."

He sighed, like an old man who had been dull for a long time, slowly took out a stack of papers from under the desk he was on, then clapped his hands, and instructed his subordinates around him to distribute the papers to all the councillors.

"I'm ...... now In his capacity as Speaker of the Principality of Elnifia, he submitted a bill to Parliament. He raised his voice: "On behalf of the Supreme Council, I announce that we have completed the review of these bills, and the results of the review are ...... Yes yes. ”

He lowered his voice, his chin resting on his folded hands, and smiled confidently as he faced the silent council members, "I hope you can take a closer look and ......"

"Make a choice."

***************************

"Oh! Another group of adventurers. ”

On March 29, 795 in the new calendar, on a sunny morning, Duan Qing, as usual, set off with a certain group as a savage. And as usual, they received a greeting from a certain NPC captain at the door: "You should be the thirty-second batch of adventurers today, or the last group of adventurers......"

"Well, we should have someone else's ...... behind us"

"I hope for it, can't I? Hey, if you have to go out one team at a time, can't you go out together......"

In the wry smile of the crowd, Captain Slanco walked slowly to the small door and slowly opened the door - in the half a month that the battlefield copy was under the Fars Fortress, Duan Qing had dealt with this captain who guarded the door, but the impression left on him by the other party was the same as before, except for the extremely bad attitude, it was a completely different view of adventurers and principalities. Whenever a player brings back some wounded soldiers from outside, or civilians from the principality, this captain will lead someone to hurriedly take those people down, smile and ask for warmth, and then ...... As usual, he scolded the players in the squad and made them disgraced. But after all, he has the only way for everyone to go out to do tasks, so no one dares to offend this janitor, and even has nothing to give gifts to please the other party. Just like this time, the captain of the ladder has already stuffed the wine he bought from the tavern into the other party's arms: "My new team members can't speak, don't care, captain, don't care......"

"Well, that's pretty much ......" The man took the flask, regardless of others and military discipline, he took a sip directly, and then slowly put it in his arms and waved his hand at them: "Banhe stronghold, right?" The guards there are quite strict, but a group of people have just been taken in recently, so the place can't be lived, and now it's very ......distressed."

"Got it, got it." Brother Axe rolled his eyes twice, then nodded and smiled, secretly waved his hand to the others, turned around and walked out of the small door: "Then we will go!"

"Huh? Oh. Si Lanke had already turned around and walked to his special seat, and turned back when he heard the voice: "Have a nice trip!"

Poof――

Duan Qing wiped his mouth, and then whispered towards the ladder that was hurrying up, "I can't believe that my attitude has become so good......

"Hey, this is a fantasy game, that's how it was played, right?" The latter patted his chest proudly: "I'm still light, I heard that there are already great gods here who have brushed their favorability to a very high level early, and they have also inquired a lot of secrets about him!"

"Secret? What a secret, let's hear it. ”

"Well...... ladder glanced back at the increasingly distant gate, and then involuntarily whispered, "It doesn't hurt to tell you." I heard that he has such a bad attitude towards adventurers because he has been injured by adventurers before......"

"Hurt? He was hacked by adventurers? ”

", of course it's heartbroken, eh...... Maybe, I don't know the specific situation, it's all rumors, you know, it's messed up when it is rumored......"

"Damn, has there been a player who has ever been in a relationship with him?"

"It's impossible, although because of the development of technology, there have always been all kinds of love stories between men and women across dimensions in recent years, but that guy is so frustrated and has a bad temper, how can anyone look at him if he is ......"

"God's love story across dimensions, I'm not there...... Ugh no. Duan Qing choked for a moment, and then continued to ask with a twinkle in his eyes: "Tell me quickly, what are the stories in the past few years?"

"Aha, haven't you ever had a girlfriend yet, brother Mo? But it doesn't matter, you're asking the right person, wait for me to think about it, and then I'll give you a ...... slowly."

"Can you talk about something useful, Captain?" The African miners on the side saw that the general trend of cowhide was about to blow, and quickly pulled back the topic that was about to be distorted: "We still have a task to do."

"Ah...... Yes, yes, where did we just come from? ”

"I don't know if that Slanko is injured or not, but it's better not to believe what that guy said." Brother Grasshopper on the side suddenly interjected and said: "There was once a team in our club who learned a certain piece of information from his mouth, but it turned out to be all false, and he even tricked them a little......"

"Huh? Is it? ”

"Of course, what are you lying about?"

"But I've heard that as long as you send something, the information he says will be true......"

"If there is such a good thing, our guild can't send it every day? The sword of justice will not be short of that money......"

"Well, it's really fake, I've heard other people say that what he said is very accurate."

"A gatekeeper, how much information can he know on the battlefield, if you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I ...... everything I know."

"Maybe it's because of the difference in what you're sending."

Duan Qing on the side suddenly said: "That Si Lanke may decide the authenticity of the information he said according to a certain standard."

He put his hands behind his head: "The fourth generation of virtual game technology has expanded the storage capacity of AI, and the reaction to people in the game world has also become more realistic, even if it does not really achieve a virtual personality, I estimate that it is not far behind - according to the current achievable method, they will probably make a list according to the real reaction of ordinary people, and then decide what they should respond to according to the external information received, and then use a variety of different criteria to distinguish the choices made by normal people, So as to simulate real emotions and styles. ”

"This theory seems to be called ...... Let's call it Q&A theory, but it was around a hundred years ago, and if we made the list of options and criteria large enough and detailed enough, we wouldn't have found any traces of simulation. As for this standard...... Belch. ”

Looking at the eyes of the people who were looking at him, his head shrunk: "That...... Maybe it's his preference, I guess? ”

"What do you mean by that?" The autumn grasshopper immediately asked.

"For example...... He likes to drink, so sending wine will help us, and he is greedy for money, so giving gold coins will increase favorability and so on...... I'm just guessing, don't believe it. ”

With a wave of his hand, the marching team was silent for a while, the ladder and the grasshopper glanced at each other, and the latter seemed to ponder for a while, and then slowly asked, "Who are we here...... Has anyone tested that guy? ”

"No, that guy is so annoying, few people really like to deal with him, even the legendary god...... And that's just a rumor, God knows if there is such a person. ”

Retracting his gaze at Duan Qing, the ladder spread his hands: "I don't know anyway."

"Well, it seems necessary to study it carefully......"

This is the normal routine and gameplay...... This sentence flashed in his heart, but a smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "That...... I don't know if he likes the pot of wine I sent earlier......"

"A little money, don't care." As if abandoning something in his head, the ladder that had returned to its normal state waved his hand: "Completing the task is the king!" Adjutant Wood promised us all four keys! And he also said that if it is done well, it is not impossible to get the key to level 5......"

"Hearing you say that, I'm suddenly starting to worry about the difficulty of our mission." The African miner on the side muttered in a low voice: "Don't lose your wife and ...... when the time comes."

"Don't worry, our team is very strong now!" The ladder stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "The whole regiment is above level forty, and there are professional gods in charge, no matter how you think about it, nothing will happen."

"We can win any fight!" (To be continued.) )
