Back at the Licinius Building, Aske sat back in his rocking chair, and Peggy continued to obediently push him up in the back.

"How much you like this rocking chair." Eleanor complained, "If you don't talk to Nola, let's take it back to Hearthfire Island." ”

"I'm not a fan of rocking chairs." "I just want to rest." ”

In fact, in the entire main plot of A Song of Iron and Fire, the most difficult is the expansion of the expedition to the Holy See.

Therefore, since he first came to this world last year, including the follow-up team search, training, actual combat, scripting, etc., all the plans Aske has made are all in order to be able to successfully pass the plot battle of the expedition to the Holy See.

Now that the biggest crisis has been resolved, and the team is approaching the critical point of Lv.10 for all members, there is basically no need to worry too much about strength, so that Asker can finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest.

Over the course of the year, Asker has learned that there is a considerable difference between this world and the game world of A Song of Iron and Fire.

That is the presence or absence of the player.

Players as a whole are a very utilitarian group, and most players play games for two purposes, one is the sense of achievement of constantly leveling up, and the other is the thrill of crushing enemies after leveling up.

The former determines that players must always get a sense of accomplishment of "I'm getting stronger" from the game, which determines that the player's level up must be fast enough.

The latter causes NPCs to level up slower than the player, so that "NPCs that I can't beat can be easily crushed after leveling", so that players can get the thrill of "I'm strong".

Therefore, in the third expansion of "A Song of Iron and Fire", that is, when the level cap is at Lv.15, the level of mainstream players has generally exceeded the level of the mainstream NPC transcendent in the 6th period.

After all, NPCs have to run around to collect recipes and materials, but players have a brush strategy, a teleportation array, and an immortal body that can be infinitely trial-and-error, so they almost immediately leave behind the newly-born low-level transcendents.

However, they can't beat those demigod old monsters who have lived from ancient times to the present, so there has even been a storm of bad reviews in the short term, game forums, post bars, groups, ...... There are people everywhere complaining that there is nothing to blame.

The game's third expansion, "Expedition to the Holy See", also appeared in this market context - using a mechanical torrent army of Chéng Rén and drones to drain the excess energy of Law-tier players.

After the end of the expedition to the Holy See, the third magic tide pushed the level cap to Lv.20, and at this time, players began to frantically catch up with the training, trying to promote demigods as soon as possible and then PvP each other, so during this time, the game company did not launch any super difficult campaigns to scold.

That is to say, the second half of the 242nd year of the 6th era is actually a calm 6 months, and the players are all in the next book, upgrading and PK, and there is no noteworthy plot ** happening.

However, there are no players in this world, so Asker certainly doesn't have to worry about PK. Step-by-step cohesion rules, comprehension upgrades, daily combat training, and from time to time to care about the psychological problems of team members.

As for the next full-scale war "Scourge of the Dead", it will have to wait until the beginning of 243, and there are still 6 months left, so there is really no hurry.

Aske, who had planned everything, was asleep when he saw Nora coming back from outside.

"Asker." Nora greeted Aske and said, "I'm going to see my parents in Sicily today. ”

"Have they forgiven you for running away from home?" Asker said lazily.

"Of course...... No! Nora was almost taken away from the conversation by him, but came back to her senses and said, "They want to see you." ”

Peggy: !!

Elinor:!!!

The two girls next to her pricked up their ears at the same time, only to hear Asker wonder and ask, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Probably, thank you for taking care of me this year, or something." Nora smiled.

I don't think it's that simple. Peggy stared warily at Nola, trying to look for any suspicious signs in her smile.

Eleanor was distraught, but soon suppressed her mind and pretended to be casual at the advertising image outside.

"How about that?" Aske didn't have any doubts and asked, "Shall I go to them, or shall I?" ”

"They will go back to the villa in Tiegang Town tomorrow, and when the time comes, they will pass by Solomon City, and you and I can go and meet them." Nora replied.

"Nola, can I go too?" Peggy asked, eyeing her back.

"Absolutely." Nora has full insight into the Blood Clan's girl's thoughts, but she doesn't mind it, "When the time comes, I will introduce all the companions of our team to my parents." ”

Peggy's face softened, and Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right." Nora said again, "I have something to talk to you about privately." ”

Peggy and Eleanor: !!

Talking about personal matters? What private matter? Is it something that is not visible? Why talk privately? Are you hiding from me where I've go?

"It's an upgrade thing." Aske laughed, "Medea gave me your last potion. ”

Oh, it turned out to be an upgrade thing. The two girls relented again.

"It's not." Nora shook her head.

The two girls became nervous again.

"It's about the Holy See." Nora said with a frown.

"I'll go back to Hearthfire Island first, and you guys will talk slowly." Eleanor stood up, looking a little tired.

No, if she stays any longer, she'll have a heart attack.

"I'm going to stay here." Peggy said stubbornly.

"Okay." Nora smiled gently, completely unconcerned about Peggy's faint hostility.

"That's right." She looked at Asker, who was lying in the rocking chair, and said, "Asker, you know that the higher the level of the transcendent, the stronger the tendency to lose control, right? ”

"Yes." Asker said.

"Doesn't that mean that the more we move up the ranks, the more likely we are to risk getting out of control?" Nora said worriedly, "And the higher the level, the greater the harm that will occur when it gets out of control, right?" ”

"That's right." Aske said leisurely, "So do you think that upgrading is the wrong thing to do?" Don't even think the transcendent shouldn't exist anymore? ”

Nora smiled embarrassedly, Commander, you really understand what I mean.

"First of all, we have to admit that what you just said is indeed irrefutable facts." Aske said slowly, "Promotion does bring some potential harm to yourself and the people around you. ”

"But to analyze a thing, you can't just analyze its harm, but also analyze the benefits it can create, which is the so-called weighing the pros and cons."

"If, after calculating the benefits, the danger or risk it brings is acceptable, then we will consider the cost of doing it, which is the so-called cost performance."

"The benefits outweigh the harms, and the cost performance is the highest in all things, so I will choose to give priority to this matter."

"Oh." Nora looked at him thoughtfully, feeling something that had been bothering her being punctured.

"Promotion does have such and such harms, and we cannot deny the objective facts." Aske continued, "However, even if we recognize the reality, we can only adjust our own strategies, but we cannot influence the strategies of others. ”

"In other words, even if you give up on promotion, there will still be countless people in this world, always chasing any opportunity to become stronger."

"They are promoted, they are out of control; They fell, they became mutants. ”

"And at that time, you don't have the corresponding strength, and you don't even have a chance to stop them."

"Asker, you mean......" Nora finally dawned on her.

"Even if you really feel that the transcendent should not continue to exist in the world one day, then you must first have the strength to carry out your own will before you are qualified to change the world and push it in the direction you want." Asker said in a moment's time.

"Instead of castrating yourself first and then hoping that someone else will castrate with you. I mean, do you understand? ”

"I understand!" Nora said loudly, waving her pink fist in high spirits, making a cheering gesture, "I want to be stronger!" ”

"That's right." Asque took out the "Life IV" potion given by Medea and handed it to the confident Nola, "Take it." ”

"Wait for Medea to come back, let her and Eleanor watch for you, drink this and promote to Lv.10, and then hurry up and train."

"Okay." Nora couldn't wait to go to Hearthfire Island.

Asker closed his eyes again, letting Peggy push his rocking chair, only to hear the Bloodline Maiden ask hesitantly:

"Asker, is it true that as long as you become stronger, you can solve any problem in this world 100%?"

"Not so absolutely." Asker said subconsciously.

"Well, ninety-nine percent of the way it should be." He thought for a moment, then replied.
