Chapter 548 - Open Beta Version 1.0 (Part I)

But the nobles rode all the way to the edge of the forest, and they didn't find the players in the Free City of Victoria, or the Dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom, but they found some clues.

It was a group of bandits who had been left unclothed in the wilderness.

The reason why they were recognized as bandits was because many of them were on the wanted list, lying on the ground looking like they had just been dead, with all kinds of wounds, burns or puncture wounds from weapons, etc.

And there were traces of battles everywhere, and the experienced nobles quickly saw that there was more than one magician in the course of the battle, and there might even be a priest on the scene.

There are so many magicians, and even priests, what kind of people, organization, or country have such power, it is definitely not a person from the empire, because if the magicians of the empire are dispatched, it is impossible for their nobles here not to know.

In this direction, the only people who can explain it are those in the Free City of Victoria.

Just a team of dozens of people has such a powerful force, it seems that their mission is not simple.

————————————

The number of players is actually not as many as dozens of people, after the battle with the bandits, they are not without any damage, the number of those bandits is a lot, and the weapons are not backward, plus they have observed the players for a long time and carried out a wave of sneak attacks, the remaining players are less than 20 people, fortunately, their mission target The princess of the goblin is unscathed and has been protected to the greatest extent in the battle.

After entering the forest, as Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess said, their safety was guaranteed, and there were many goblins waiting for them at the edge of the forest, and when Her Royal Highness the Princess appeared, they cheered and expressed their welcome to Her Royal Highness.

Her Royal Highness the princess's eyes were also full of tears, and needless to say, the scene was touched, and the players were also very moved, and immediately said that the reward should be given a little more.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the reward, the goblins are very grateful to the players who brought Her Royal Highness the princess back, even if it is those green-skinned beastmen, in addition to being more wary of them, the goblins have also given them the treatment they deserve, not only giving them delicious food, but even symbolizing friendship decorations to them, and also giving them those green-skinned beastman players.

Needless to say, the next is a happy plot, the players are surrounded by the goblins and led to the World Tree, and then celebrate and send good wishes to them on the World Tree, they dance, they sing, they laugh and laugh, there is nothing abnormal, until the night a pair of eyes are unusually bright in the dark.

It was a human with a green character on his head, he sat up and didn't make any sound, there were other players around him who were already offline, and there were a few players who were not offline walking around in the library outside, wanting to see the surrounding environment, constantly taking screenshots, these are the things that will be sent out on the forum next, after all, the world tree is an environment, and there may only be this one chance to come here in this life.

The human stood up, his figure hidden in a gray mist of magical power, faintly unseeable, he walked around like a breeze gently blowing, in front of him there was a sober little goblin, he didn't even see the human walking in front of him.

"Lord Sherlock, I really didn't expect you to lurk among these players for so many days, you really make me admire."

Blue's voice appeared in the mind of the human, who was Sherlock in disguise.

As usual, most of what Blue said had an element of sycophancy, and Sherlock didn't listen to it.

This opportunity to come to the World Tree is very rare, Sherlock can't give this great opportunity to connect the World Tree to those players, if he doesn't go to the scene to arrange, Sherlock will not rest assured anyway, after all, it is related to his future life safety, if hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players pour in together, that kind of magic is not something Sherlock can bear.

No one around noticed Sherlock who walked in, although he was a demon, but Sherlock, who was holding a disguised orb, completely deceived all the little goblins, coupled with his magic, suppressed the demonic aura on his body, allowing him to walk on the World Tree without hindrance.

Sherlock's goal is to connect the World Tree to his dungeon core, and the World Tree is right in front of Sherlock's eyes.

Looking at the World Tree in front of him, Sherlock moved his finger and said silently:

"It's been a long time since I've done anything like this, and I feel a little rusty......"

"That Sherlock-sama, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

Blue asked in Sherlock's mind:

"As for that little goblin princess, you really plan to let her live here, but you paid for her."

"Why not? She's already helped me connect the World Tree to the Dungeon Core, so she's still our hero, so wouldn't it be nice to have her back home. ”

"Do you really think so? With all due respect, with your character, I don't think it's that simple, right, you must have a backhand, can't you tell me? ”

After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock shook his head and said:

"How could I do such cruel things, although I am a demon, but I am just a demon who likes to play with human nature, I have no hobby of breaking up others or forcing others to do something. There are even times when I see a happy ending, and I'm happy, you have to trust me Blue. ”

"Although my feelings tell me to trust Sherlock-sama, my intuition tells me that Sherlock-sama must be lying to me. But since you're not going to tell me, I won't ask, but you must have your plans, I'll just wait for that goblin princess to come back to our dungeon, and to be honest, I'm still reluctant to give her. ”

It was better to say this, and then let out a demonic laugh, and then there was no sound, Sherlock ignored Blue, he kept drawing magic marks on the trunk of the World Tree, and those marks disappeared quickly after being painted, and Sherlock's magic was gone, and little by little it penetrated into the trunk......

————————

The leprechaun had never been happier than she was now, she returned to her homeland, although she was a leprechaun princess, she didn't have many privileges, she didn't necessarily live in the castle, in fact, she lived on the treehouse like the other hematuria, and the environment was more suitable for the leprechaun than the castle and the ornate treehouse.

And this is much more comfortable than the treehouse in the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, there are no dim caves, no smelly monsters and endless questions, and the occasional nasty Sherlock, here is the trunk of the World Tree, full of magic and the vitality of life, and the little goblins of her family, shuttling through the trunk, making the princess feel like she was back in her childhood, and the most important thing is that her good friend Yucha is also by her side, Although Yucha showed some resistance when passing through the portal, an explosion still helped her at the most critical moment, and Yucha was pushed into the portal with her.

Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess is even a little grateful to the attackers of the Kingdom of God, if it weren't for the attacks of those Kingdom of God, things wouldn't have progressed, so smoothly.

She thought that life could go on forever, but in the end, she had to face a cruel truth.

That is, neither Victoria nor the players of the Eternal Realm belong to the World Tree Forest.

This is the territory of the goblins, although there are a lot of beautiful scenery worth watching, as well as the magical world tree and the friendship of the goblins, but the most important thing for players is to rely on the social group and the various services formed, and in the territory of the goblins, there are no other players to interact with them, their adventure mission has been completed, and if you want to receive the rewards of the mission, you must return to the main city to collect them. It's interesting here, but they haven't completed their daily quests for many days, and they haven't gone to farm dungeons and see auction houses to trade with other players, etc., you must know that while they browse the world, many players are updating their equipment, farming dungeons, buying magic books, learning new magic, and improving their strength.

In other words, they can't leave the main city forever, especially in online games.

In the end, it was time for them to say goodbye, and the game's system provided them with the opportunity to return to the main city at a crucial moment.

Players in the Free City of Victoria and Dungeons of the Eternal Republic have been given a special quest:

[Mission Name: Return to the Main City at the End of the Adventure Mission]

[Objective: Return to your home city, the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Free City of Victoria, and claim your rewards]

[Mission Description: You have completed the adventure mission given to you by the system, now you can return to your own city, and receive the rewards you deserve, in order to facilitate the players to return to the main city, we have backed up and saved your equipment and all your belongings, when you commit suicide and re-apply for the character to return to the main city, you can go to your main city quartermaster's office, receive your equipment and items, and there will be no death penalty. 】

[Mission Note: You only have one chance, choose to commit suicide and return to your main city before tomorrow, of course, you can also choose to walk back, but this is too dangerous, if you die in battle, your weapons and equipment and items will not be available.] Also, please note that when you die, please do not be seen by any NPCs. 】

The description of the mission is believed to be very detailed, every player did not expect to encounter such a good task, they were ready to go back, of course, the way back is full of dangers, especially for the players of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, they do not belong to the surface world, just the appearance of their green skin is enough to make those people in the human kingdom hostile to them, just like the soldiers of the Kingdom of God before, Those NPCs had formed a deep friendship with the players of Victoria and formed a wartime alliance, but because of the appearance of the players in the underworld, the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Gods immediately launched an attack on them.

They didn't even hesitate, as if the friendships they had had with the Victorian players were all fake.

Arthur and the others are ready to commit suicide and go back to the main city, anyway, the equipment and items have been backed up, and they only need to go to the quartermaster to get them after they go back.

This also includes rain tea.

As I said before, although Yucha is very reluctant to the princess of the little goblin, she has established a deep friendship with this NPC in the past few months, and regards this NPC as her best friend in the game, but the players do not belong to this world after all, in their opinion, the princess of the goblin is just an NPC, although Yucha does not treat her as an NPC, but compared with other players such as Arthur, Hoe He Sylvanas, etc., compared to them, Yucha will still choose to be with friends in reality.

To put it cruelly, for Yucha, these goblins are just some data after all.

But that doesn't stop Yucha from saying his final goodbyes to his good friend His Royal Highness the Goblin Princess before returning to the dungeon.

And the goodbye scene is very touching and reluctant.

Her Royal Highness the little goblin's princess cried into tears almost instantly, although she already knew subconsciously that she couldn't be with Yucha forever, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

And about Her Royal Highness the princess of Yucha and the goblin, the scenes of each one were also recorded by Meichuan pants, and posted to the forum, such a scene also sparked a heated discussion among the players on the forum, many players were moved by the scene, and expressed that the NPC in the game is too real, not only the princess of the goblin, but also the NPC in other cities such as Winterfell is also very real, One player even gave the example of a task he received in Winterfell to help an old beastman grandmother, who he often visits even now.

Needless to say, the forum was full of tearful expressions.

There are also many players and forum friends who have no way to enter the game, and tell the representative of the official website, that is, the only customer service and management of the forum, hoping that they can modify the plot and let Yucha and the princess of the goblin return to the eternal kingdom dungeon.

But this can only be said, everyone knows that there is no way to change the plot at will, Her Royal Highness the princess of the goblin has returned to her home world tree, so the possibility of her returning to the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom is not very high. You must know that in the previous plots, Her Royal Highness the princess of the goblin hated the monsters in the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom very much.

No matter how much reluctance there is, the moment of separation will eventually be ushered in, Yucha and Arthur have left the world together, and the tree has also left with the friendship of those little goblins. Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess stood on the trunk of the leaf tree, she didn't even go to say her final goodbye to Yucha, she looked in the direction Yucha left, and recalled in her heart the days and nights when she was accompanied by Yucha in her darkest days.

A tear welled up in the corner of his eye, and he turned his head back to his treehouse.

The guard stood beside Her Royal Highness the little goblin, looking at the figure of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he sighed, along the way he already knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess and this skinny goblin called Yucha had formed a deep friendship, but he thought that this friendship was just a friendship to help each other in trouble, but he didn't expect this friendship to be so sincere and heavy, and he also had a new understanding of the monsters in the underground world, they may not only be bloodthirsty monsters, but also some people of noble character, And there are also those who are of extremely low moral character among the human race, such as the soldiers of the kingdom of God who attacked them before.

But all this takes time to heal the guards, and there is no other better way, not even words to comfort Her Royal Highness, he can only accompany Her Royal Highness and soothe Her Highness's hurt soul during this time, he believes that with the passage of time, everything will get better.

He hesitated, and repeatedly did not follow Her Royal Highness back to the treehouse, which should have been his duty to protect Her Royal Highness all the time, but now he felt that His Royal Highness should be given private space, so that he could calm down and disperse his thoughts, and stop thinking about these sad pasts.

He sighed and turned to leave, but as he left, there was a fluctuation of mana in the treehouse behind him.

Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess sat in her treehouse, and in front of him there was a teleportation scroll, which had the text of the demon written on it, which was a teleportation scroll that one of the players left to give to Her Royal Highness before the players left, this teleportation scroll was directly teleported to the dungeon of the Eternal Realm, and the reason why the player left this teleportation scroll to Her Royal Highness was because the player also hoped that Her Royal Highness could go to the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom to visit them if she had the opportunity. After all, after getting along so much, the players are still very reluctant to her.

Although Her Royal Highness the princess was very disgusted that the players of this dungeon gave her the scroll, but out of friendship and kindness, she still accepted it, he originally thought that he would never take out this scroll in his life, let alone open it and return to the eternal kingdom dungeon, but when she knew that Yucha was going back to the dungeon with Arthur, the little goblin's heart couldn't help but take out this scroll.

Her Royal Highness placed the scroll in front of her, her mind recalling the first time she had come to the dungeon a few months ago with the demon called Sherlock and asking the green goblins to build a bed for herself like a bird's nest, the scene where she cowered and spat on the horrible monsters, and the scene where the goblin star called Rain Tea gnawed and toiled in the fields. Everything seemed as if it had just happened yesterday, and these memories were painful for Her Highness in the past, and she did not want to recall, but now they seemed to be full of honey sweetness, including the great demon named Sherlock.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the big demon called Sherlock doesn't seem to have anything other than threatening her with words, giving her a magic ban, threatening her with rain tea, and being cold to himself...... Wait, when you think about it, that big demon called Sherlock is really a very bad guy.

But except for the demon called Sherlock, in the dungeon, the other people are actually very friendly to themselves, even those green-skinned monsters, they don't do anything too much to themselves, they will even call themselves a teacher, when they teach them Potions knowledge, they will also look at themselves with inquisitive eyes, no matter how difficult the knowledge of Potions is, they will try to keep it in mind, and practice day and night, Who knows why they're interested in Potions? It's obviously a group of demons full of killing.

With the flashes of memories in Her Royal Highness Princess's mind, she suddenly found that the treatment she received in the dungeon of the Eternal Realm was not so bad, and even the benefits that Sherlock gave her occasionally would be firmly remembered in her heart, as well as the friendship with Yucha, which also made her unforgettable, and the memories there were even stronger and clearer than the memories in the World Tree.

Her Royal Highness the Princess stretched out her hand and held the teleportation scroll in front of her, she trembled and resisted in her mind, but her body could not voluntarily tear open the scroll, and with the fluctuation of magic power, a white portal wrapped her.

Then Her Royal Highness the princess disappeared in place, leaving only a little magical aura.

————————

With many previous events, the players' lives have finally returned to a normal trajectory, and the same is true for turtle frangipani.

As one of the former supreme commanders of the Old God Legion, Turtle Frangipani used to be a proud demon, but after being taken in as a pet by Lord Sherlock and left in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, Turtle Frangipani understood that what he had experienced in the Old God Legion before was nothing at all, and compared to this terrifying archdemon, the people of the Old God Legion and their methods were simply like playing at home.

Who would have thought that this terrifying demon would send himself to the magic energy machine and study 9 years of compulsory education, and in this compulsory education, he is learning the knowledge of holy light every day, it is simply unimaginably cruel, you must know that the most evil and cruel great demon of the ancient god legion will not be able to force a creature in the underground world to learn the knowledge of holy light, it is simply a blasphemy against the demon faith.

But this big demon called Sherlock doesn't seem to have a bottom line at all, and he doesn't have the belief of demons, anyway, the turtle frangipani decided to give in, and if he doesn't give in, who knows if there is the next 9 years of compulsory education waiting for him? He no longer wants to make up homework day and night, and on the second morning, he still came to the classroom sleepy-eyed, and then was drawn to the podium by the teacher every day, and the first to memorize English words, English compositions, and ancient poems and other messy things, all the things that can be memorized, every lottery must draw him.

What is God......

But that's all in the past, and now, frangipani is no longer a thorn, what? Escape, you say? It's impossible to do it, Frangipani has decided to be a loyal lackey.

Before, Lord Sherlock gave him a difficult task to pretend to escape, and then guide the players through the dark door, Frangipani did a very good job, and then Lord Sherlock disappeared, and did not see Lord Sherlock in the dungeon for several days.

Frangipani's heart is even a little loose, is this a good chance to escape?

But just after answering the phone, he thought of the figure of Master Sherlock, and once again appeared in the dungeon, as if he had never left.

Ah, praise to the great Lord Sherlock......

Frangipani shuddered at the thought.

"Hey, do you think this turtle has some kind of Moore syndrome?"

Just as Frangipani was thinking nonsense, with a look of adoration on her trembling face, and looking at Sherlock who had walked into the lord's hall, the black cat Pineapple, who was sitting in the corner, whispered to Phoenix, the parrot next to her.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's called Scottmore syndrome." Parrot Phoenix said.

But no matter what the syndrome is, in their opinion, frangipani is part of their daily joke.

Sherlock doesn't care about Frangipani's emotions, and he doesn't pay attention to Phoenix the parrot and Pineapple the black cat whispering around the corner, and he has a lot to do when he returns to the dungeon.

For example, there is a post on the forum about the announcement of the first test.

After a series of preparations, as well as the connecting world tree and dungeon core, Sherlock finally has the details to release, The version of the open beta is the 1.0 version.,And the biggest problem of the previous open beta,The supply of magic is also because of the number of worlds,Completely solved,Although it's not clear how many players can support the same screen online,But there is no longer a need for Sherlock to use his own magic to support the existence and use of these players.,The magic of the world tree is not divided into darkness and light.,It's not as annoying as the power of the holy light.,The magic of the world tree is drawn from the whole world The kind of magic is chaotic without any attributes.,For Sherlock, it's the most suitable to support the daily life and combat needs of players.。

And all he has to do now is prepare to release a new version of the open beta, and just as Sherlock is preparing the copy for the new version, there are excited shouts from players outside.

"That's Her Royal Highness the princess of the little goblin, right? We're all back! ”

"It's really back, isn't it on my heavenly forum that the princess won't come back?"

"If the analysis on the forum is correct, go to the open beta tonight, do you believe it or not?"

"Damn, look at the forum! It's really open beta! ”
