Chapter 64: A Friendly Reminder
"I want to keep following Asker." She replied.
Apperius keenly heard that she didn't "want to be a mercenary", but wanted to "follow Asker", and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask with a smile:
"He's not bad, but he's on the wrong path."
"Mercenaries are a profession with no future, they travel around the world without a fixed place, and they make a living with the help of wars in various places, and sooner or later they will be tolerated by the lords everywhere."
"The lords only use mercenaries as a temporary source of military strength, and once the military construction in the territory is complete, they will regard the mercenaries as a major threat to law and order."
"The Rising Tide is coming, and the transcendent will soon be on the secular stage. According to the historical convention of each era, the lord aristocracy and the high-ranking transcendents will merge with each other to form a stable transcendent ruling class, and then the mercenaries will have no place for them. ”
"What you have to do is to settle down as soon as possible, and with the help of Olympia's power and resources, you can steadily improve your rank, so that even if the magic tide rises rapidly and new forces continue to rise, you can maintain your existing power and status with your own strength."
"Instead of following a mercenary who wandered the world, and finally died in a wild corner and no one knows."
Asker listened as he listened, noncommittal and a secret smile in his heart.
This idea of Apyrius represents a very marketable genre among players in the previous life, that is, "farming stream".
The essence of "Farming Flow" is not to explore ruins and mutant dungeons, go to the battlefield to absorb extraordinary power and brush attributes, but to interact with NPC camps, improve prestige and camp strength, and ultimately use the improved status to finally plunder benefits.
Compared with the player's orthodox sword and magic adventure stream, although the farming stream was weak in the early stage and began to exert its strength in the later stage, it is also deeply loved by RPG playing enthusiasts.
However, starting with version seven, game companies intend to transform into esports, so various in-game PvP gameplay methods have been introduced, and PvE gameplay has been greatly weakened.
The most typical is the demigod rank, in order to encourage everyone to quickly rush to the level to improve the level, the planning and compilation of a "this magic tide strength is unprecedented" setting, resulting in the demigod rank being greatly enhanced.
This is how the famous quote of the forum, "below the demigod, the mortal body of the flesh" came out, which means that once you reach the demigod level, it is basically difficult to be killed by ordinary people who are not in the realm of demigods.
As a result, the flaw of the slow progress of the farming stream players is exposed: you have worked hard to farm, develop your power, and you have been promoted to a demigod.
You have thousands of troops, and people will destroy them with one punch.
You are in a high position, and people will destroy you with one punch.
You sit on the four seas, and people will destroy them with one punch.
Of course, "one punch to destroy" is just an exaggeration, but that's what it means. There are similar famous sayings: "Murder and arson gold belt, stuffy head farming is eliminated" and so on.
"Grandpa." Sheila said quietly, "If I stay here, can you help me revive the Eastern Solomonic Empire?" ”
Apyrios was stunned, but speechless.
With the recent emergence of the strength of the Seljuk Empire, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if the demon tide returns, it is difficult for the Eastern Solomon Empire to have a revival, and the transcendents and demigods on the opposite side are by no means less than those on Cirius's side.
Unable to subjugate Constantinople and entrenched in the Achaean Peninsula and calling itself the "Empire of the Eastern Solomons" is simply self-defeating.
"Even if the empire has lost its future, at least grandpa wants you to have your own life." Appilios said slowly.
"So, grandpa, I've chosen my life." Sheila looked at her earnestly.
Appilius lost his mind.
From Theodora's eyes, he vaguely saw the shadow of his daughter Helena.
As a child born from the suppression of the bloodline by a demigod powerhouse, his daughter Helena was born with a weak body, and childbirth would cause great damage to her body.
However, as the Empress of the Empire, she must not be childless, so when Apyrios persuaded her, she just stared firmly and stubbornly into Apperius' eyes and said seriously:
"Father, I want to have a normal family."
With that expression, Apelios couldn't refuse at all. Now in Theodora's eyes, he saw Helena's shadow.
Children and grandchildren have their own paths, and you can't choose life for them.
Appilios took a deep breath and said with difficulty:
"Okay."
He turned his head to look at Asker, and his expression gradually turned cold:
"Asker, the thing I regret the most now is that I didn't kill you at the overlap of the underworld."
"Now that this is the case, I will not attack you again. But if you dare to fail Theodora one day, I will make you realize what it means to 'die without resting'!" ”
Sheila:???
Asker: ???
"Grandpa!" Sheila screamed in shame.
Asker was also completely confused, but he soon realized that Appilios' "disappointment" was a pun, which could be both an emotional disappointment and an idealistic betrayal.
It doesn't matter if you're in love or in a like-minded partnership, if you dare to make Theodora sad, you're dead, and that's what Appilios meant.
What else can Asker say about this? Only a polite smile.
Fortunately, Apelios did not force him to make a statement, and in the face of Sheila's angry screams, he immediately raised his face and said:
"What? Grandpa taught him a lesson for you, aren't you happy anymore? ”
Sheila is such a smart girl, and she immediately reacted at this time. Apperios didn't know what her relationship with Asker was, so he used subtle and vague rhetoric to knock the other party.
Rao is like this, she is still a little ashamed, and said unrelentingly:
"Then you can't use such ambiguous terms."
"Hmph." Apperios flicked his sleeves, "I don't want to pay attention to the grievances and hatreds of your young people. But you are the granddaughter of my Appilios, and you cannot be bullied outside. ”
"If you feel tired one day, come back to Olympia as soon as possible." He looked at his granddaughter's delicate face, and his gaze softened again.
——————
Asker went downstairs with the two girls.
"Whew." Sheila let out a long sigh of relief, clasped her hands together, and smiled, "It's great to be able to recognize my grandfather." ”
"Sheila." Aske said, "When you settle the military merit exchange in a few days, ask your uncle to give us a discount." ”
"Hey!" Sheila exclaimed, "That's my family's wealth!" You actually want to pit money from my family? ”
"Don't say it so ugly, the money is also used on you, okay?" Aske argued.
"Okay." Sheila said, "Since I want my mother's family to give additional benefits, then I will count this subsidy part into the proportion of the team's equity." ”
"Don't you want to be so clear?" Aske complained.
"Peggy?" Sheila suddenly noticed that Peggy's face next to her was a little ugly, and wondered if it was because she recognized her relatives that caused the grief of her parents' death, and hurriedly put her arm around her shoulders and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Peggy said gloomily, her right hand unconsciously rubbing the hilt of the sword at her waist.
