"Then whether it is the principle of proximity or not, there is a high probability that those of us who first choose to step into the 'Chosen Circle' will appear here."

"A few of them basically came to Mengyuan Village by luck."

"And how do you know for sure that the city you're showing up in is your chosen target?" Ning Yuan then asked, "You must know that most of you didn't know that Mengyuan Village's urban knot was a special grade A, right?" ”

Mao Qing nodded in approval of Ning Yuan's guess: "Yes." Except for me, Xu Yi, and Yang Yunyu, each of whom had their own means to determine the specific level of the city's knot, the others didn't know that Mengyuan Village's city knot was a rare existence of the special grade A. ”

Ning Yuan glanced around at everyone, and the others all nodded.

"However," Ning Yuan looked back at Mao Qing, "Although the specific level cannot be determined, the approximate level can still be confirmed." ”

"City monuments?" Ning Yuan said softly.

"Not bad. You're really smart. Mao Qing smiled and nodded to confirm Ning Yuan's guess, "I don't know if you have paid attention to the composition of the etched patterns on the city monuments." ”

"Etched composition?"

"I'll give you some common sense among the aborigines. This is not found in the books. Mao Qing raised his hand and brushed the bangs in front of his forehead, "The Nino Continent can be said to have been at war all along. The war between the city and the monsters of the beasts, the beasts, the beasts, the monsters, the wars between the cities, the wars between the city-states, the wars between the natives and the aborigines, the wars between us, the regular natives, and the illegal natives of the extraterritorial. ”

"In these wars, the ease and destruction of cities can be said to happen all the time, and from time to time we aborigines will become unregistered wild people, displaced people, and then become citizens of new cities through means such as 'Chosen Circle' or wandering. Because of the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, that is, the existence of the 'five oaths', the aborigines will basically not betray after becoming a naturalized citizen of a city. Only when the city is destroyed, it passively becomes a homeless person. Or when the city is occupied, you can choose to become a homeless again. Under the rules that cannot be separated from the city at any time, we aborigines can only passively or semi-passively change cities and household registrations. ”

"But cities can not be picky about their citizens, but it is necessary for us to choose the right city for ourselves. Even if each Heavenly Election is returned, it will be punished according to the situation. ”

"Then based on the long summary of countless indigenous peoples, we found a way to distinguish the level of urban knots. We call this the 'Erosion Structure Differentiation Method'. ”

Mao Qing paused, took out a glass of water out of nowhere and moistened his throat, and then continued: "Although the natural etching patterns on the urban monuments derived from each city's knot are different and unique. But structurally it is indeed similar. The similarity of this structure is the limitation of the level of urban knots. ”

"Regardless of the etching of the urban knot, the D-level urban knot is always an etched section, and there is the same spacing between each etching."

"The C-level urban knot is a section of three etched lines, and there will be a certain interval between each three etched lines."

"The B-level city knot is six etched sections, and the A-level and special A city knots are both nine etched sections."

"This is the 'etching structure differentiation method'. This is also the reason why all the indigenous people who do not have a hukou will be the first to look at the city monuments when they arrive in a new city. ”

"I stow so." Ning Yuan nodded abruptly.

"Because the etching structure of Grade A and Grade A is the same, unless there is a special means of exploration, most of the aborigines can only determine that the urban knot of Mengyuan Village is Grade A."

"That's how many of them are." Mao Qing pointed at Tan Xiong and Hu Yang.

The two also nodded.

Ning Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Mao Qing and said, "According to what you say, among the population refreshes that come with all cities, it should be difficult for cities below Grade A to refresh the aborigines with Grade A qualifications, right?" ”

"It's not Grade A. Rather, it is below Class B. Mao Qing shook his head, nodded again, shook his pure black cat's tail, and said: "Unless there is an emergency or the punishment that the Chosen One will face after returning is too severe, it can basically be said that it is difficult for the Chosen Road of Class C and D cities to have Class A qualifications." It can be said that it is lucky to have a Class A qualification every year. ”

("Is that really the case?") Ning Yuan thought secretly, ("This is the population refresh mechanism in "Regeneration", the more advanced the city, the easier it is to appear highly qualified talents. Therefore, for every level difference in the level of the city's knot, the difference in strength is a world of difference. Even if all else is the same. There will also be crushing in the quality of talent. ”）

"So what's the third reason?" Ning Yuan looked at Mao Qing and asked.

"Third... Mao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in an inexplicable tone: "This is the Fulong Mountain Range. The Fulong Mountains, which occupy nearly half of the territory of the Longshan Domain. Almost all city-state alliances are considered unsuitable for the creation of extraterritorial lands above the D level. Especially after the dragon turned over three thousand years ago and turned the original 'Dragon Treasure Land' into the current 'Dragon Prison Jedi'. ”

Mao Qing paused, and continued in a rhetorical tone:

"Do you think that we, the aborigines with Class A qualifications, will be curious after we can sense the general level and direction of the city's knot? You must know that the area around the Fulong Mountains is not only a first-class city, but also very few second-class cities. The adjacent Dragon's Blood Forest and Yunmeng Plateau are also famous secondary ferocious beast gathering places, and many city-state alliances with the two places as their sphere of influence are mainly to defend against the 'beast tide', although they also attack each other from time to time, but the intensity is obviously much lower than that of other regions. ”

"Whether or not someone has actually established a city in the Fulong Mountains as a Grade A city, or whether there is a coalition of city-states in the surrounding relatively safe areas to open a new Grade A city, there is no reason for us aborigines who have lost their household registration not to come and check it out."

"You know, the Chosen Circle chooses people randomly, and the number of people a city can teleport every day is very limited. This kind of thing is always first-come, first-served, isn't it? ”

Ning Yuan's index finger tapped his forehead, carefully considering the information and authenticity of Mao Qing's words, and whispered to himself with inexplicable thoughts:

"So, today's situation is a special case, is it a coincidence?"

Then he took a long breath, looked up at Mao Qing and said, "For the time being, just let what you say be true." ”

There was a pause.

Ning Yuan looked around at everyone: "So, can I ask you the reason for losing your household registration and the reason why you chose to join Mengyuan Village?" ”

Then he said half-explained and half-sighed:

"It's scary to know that six Grade A qualifications come at one time."

Before Mao Qing could speak, Ning Yuan frowned and preemptively said, "You forget it." I don't hide it, but I know that even if I ask, you won't tell me the real reason. ”

"Giggle." Mao Qing squinted, her delicate body trembling and letting out a trembling laugh, "That's not necessarily meow." ”

"Meow?!" Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he heard the end of the sentence that the kitten clan would utter when he was only in an extremely happy mood.

"Hehehehe." After laughing for a while, Mao Qing winked at Ning Yuan, "Don't worry." When the time comes, I'll tell you that you really don't have enough authority right now. You just need to know that under the 'Five Oaths', I will not harm you, nor will I betray you before you lose your morality." ”

Hearing Mao Qing's words, the other people all glanced at Mao Qing thoughtfully, and a trace of inexplicable look flashed in the eyes of Xiao Liu Ying, who had been keeping her head down.

"Okay." Ning Yuan nodded, looking at the old man Hu Yang, who was the first to see his identity as a player, and showed a look of distrust for the first time.

Old man Hu Yang saw that Ning Yuan intended to let him speak first, and he didn't have a dissatisfied look. Instead, he solemnly bowed to Ning Yuan.

"Old man, let me apologize first. For the distrust shown because of the player's identity as an adult.。 ”

Ning Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay." I don't know why, but I'm afraid that the current conflict between players and natives is very deep, right? ”

"Yes." Old Man Hu Yang nodded, "If it weren't for the three chapters of the adult's previous covenant, even if I became a naturalist, I wouldn't have the slightest trust in the adult." Old man Hu Yang said calmly.

Ning Yuan squeezed his eyebrows imperceptibly and nodded, which could be regarded as acknowledging the frankness of Old Man Hu Yang.

However, it is really curious that players and aborigines have such a big conflict in just one year.

"Can I ask for a specific reason?" Ning Yuan asked tentatively.

Old Man Hu Yang looked directly into Ning Yuan's eyes, hesitated a little and said, "Please ask your adults to find out the details through your players' channels." All I can say is my own reasoning. ”

Ning Yuan nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"The old man's original city, Changning City, was destroyed by the player. It's not an occupation, it's a complete destruction. Old Man Hu Yang closed his eyes in some pain and said, "If it's just like this, it's normal in the Neno Continent. But... ”

Changning City is a small city-state alliance on the East Plain "Xiaodaolin City-State Alliance" subordinate D-level city-level city, located in the eastern coastal area of the East Plain, mainly fishing and sea ship construction, as a port city, a number of East China Sea routes of the transit distribution center, Changning City's warehousing and transshipment industry in the "Xiaodaolin City-State Alliance" and even the entire East Plain many city-state alliances are also famous.

The city lord of Changning City is a middle-aged man of the Mowen clan who is deeply loved by the city's people, named Yu Jiangning, a Wenchen side lord and an ink-pattern mage. The overall strength has reached the silver lieutenant level, and it is in the middle and lower reaches of the many D-level city lords in the "Xiaodaolin City-State Alliance".

Yu Jiangning's strength is not too strong for players, but his identity is also not strong, he is only at the bottom of the middle and third order of the ninth order, and he is considered to be one of the few D-level city lords who is not in the "Shi" level. Intuitively speaking, Yu Jiangning has no background and backers, and is just a marginal city lord under the name of the "Xiaodaolin City-State Alliance". It was only because of his reputation and the love of the people of Changning City that he was able to maintain his status as the lord of the city and not be annexed by the surrounding aboriginal cities.

You must know that the people's heart is an invisible attribute that is most liked and hated by the lord in the city-state war. I like it because the high morale of the people in the city can significantly improve the organizational and executive skills, and the morale of the troops in foreign wars will always be in a positive state under normal circumstances, and the morale of the soldiers can be maintained even if they are defeated.

The reason for the disgust is the same, but for the enemy city. As mentioned earlier, the war on Neno is mainly about resources and population. Once the people of the attacked city are very popular, then the population benefit will be very low, and after the capture of the city, many city residents will be lost and become unregistered refugees and teleport out of the city. If there were no other vital interests, attacking such a city would be more than worth the cost for many lords.

However, this is not much of a problem for players, especially a group of player lords who are only for supplies and not for population. And Changning City is targeted by such a group of player lords.

Without a background and without a strong personal strength, the city forces are only maintained to the extent of maintaining law and order, and their position in the alliance is also on the periphery. And there are huge reserves of resources in the city. Such a city and such a city lord are a piece of fatty fresh meat for the player. Not to mention other players, even Ning Yuan subconsciously felt that Changning City was a piece of fat. As long as you occupy Changning City, you can reap huge benefits, and there is almost no trouble.

However, Ning Yuan was also strange about this. The city of Changning was not occupied, but completely destroyed. Not only that, according to the old man Hu Yang, the players actually slaughtered the city.

A player named 'Always Companion' infiltrated Changning City, and became the city lord's henchman with a series of means, and after poisoning the city lord one night, he opened the city gate and introduced a number of siege troops hidden by the player's forces. In the case of Changning City, which was completely defenseless, he took Changning City.

At this point, it is normal for both the aborigines and Ning Yuan. But the next development made Ning Yuan's eyebrows twist into a pimple, and there was an irrepressible look of anger in his eyes. Gripping the armrests of the chair with both hands so that he would not stand up in anger.

After the players seized Changning City, they did not choose to occupy the city, but looted all the warehouses in the city, including those temporarily stored by other aboriginal forces for transfer, before all the aborigines who received the system notice reacted, and all the aborigines who resisted and theorized were killed.

This was followed by a massacre of the innocent aborigines who had gathered and were at a loss. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many aborigines and resisted after reacting, there seemed to be disagreement among the player forces about the slaughter of the aborigines, so that the player's situation was slowly reversed, forcing the player to choose to destroy Changning City earlier than expected, Ning Yuan could imagine that this group of players might choose to destroy the city after slaughtering Changning City.

That night, all the players who had originally naturalized Changning City either stood by or participated in the plundering and massacre. The elder Hu Yang even witnessed an aboriginal couple being brutally killed by a player who had been in their care for a long time.

This has also become the direct reason for Hu Yang's old man's distrust and faint hatred of players.

"The old man has stepped into the 'Chosen Path' many times since then, and as long as the teleported city is built by the player, the old man will choose the Chosen to return. This time, if it weren't for the act of the adult asking me to treat Tan Xiong's injuries first, I vaguely felt that the adult was different from the players in the outside world, and the punishment returned by the Heavenly Chosen was too severe, I am afraid that I would not have chosen to become a naturalized citizen. ”

Old Man Hu Yang looked at Ning Yuan and said.

"Whew! ~" Ning Yuan exhaled a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, got up and solemnly performed a ritual of "repentance" and "atonement" to the old man Hu Yang who had learned from the "Initial Understanding of Learning".

"I don't know why the players out there are like that. But I believe that there are always a minority of players like that. On behalf of myself, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you and to all the Indigenous people who have been innocently abused by you, along with all the players who share my willingness to help the Indigenous people. ”

Ning Yuan stood up and looked directly at the eyes of Old Man Hu Yang with hidden resentment, and said with a solemn expression: "We will not ask for forgiveness from you and all the aborigines who were innocently violated by the player, because this is not our responsibility, but the group of guys who raised their butcher knives." Everyone has to pay the price for what they do. No matter who it is. If they don't want to. Then it's up to me to make them pay the price. ”

Ning Yuan raised his hand solemnly: "I swear by my soul." ”

"Players get the rules mission: the price."

At the same time as the system prompt sounded, the three thunder runes symbolizing the establishment of the oath appeared in front of the shocked eyes, and then disappeared on Ning Yuan's forehead.
