The Kingdom of Frostland, the Kingdom of the North, the Barbarians.

The people here are notoriously stubborn and belligerent in their character. On the way back, Zheng Ming rediscovered this.

They didn't seem to have the ability to gauge the difference in strength between the two sides, and both the scattered soldiers and civilians caused a lot of trouble for Zheng Ming's army.

Although Zheng Ming tried his best to avoid entering the local towns and villages, he still couldn't stand the steady stream of enemies who came to send him to death.

Zheng Ming of the Dragon and Lion Legion can use chivalry and glory as the spiritual core, accompanied by strict orders to be barely restrained. But what about the armies that don't belong to Zheng Ming, as well as the players who are themselves looking for excitement and release?

So after losing several soldiers, and arguing several times with other legion generals and unruly players, Zheng Ming issued an order that "anyone who resists and is hostile can be killed".

This in itself is a common occurrence in this world, where the victors plunder the territory of the defeated and vent their anger at the loss of their comrades. This is undoubtedly bloody and cruel, but it is accepted and even taken for granted by the people here.

Zheng Ming is powerless to change the concept of the whole world, and he has no intention of colliding with the common sense that the world is accustomed to.

All he could do was use Arthur's chivalry to order his subordinates not to slaughter those who surrendered for no reason, and not to bully the unarmed weak.

It is impossible to make the Frost Lan Kingdom submit, and the next thing to do is nothing more than to demand huge wealth from the defeated country and pay compensation in the name of the defeated country.

Fortunately, he didn't have financial power and official status, and he didn't need to worry about this. So after a smooth handover with Lancelot, he left Lancelot, who was talking to the nobles of the Frostland Kingdom, and marched to the kingdom to prepare for his life.

On this day, in a territory run by a medium-sized family for generations in the kingdom, in a fairly good town, Zheng Ming, who stood alone by the window of the mansion to admire the snow after rejecting the warm hospitality of the city lord, welcomed Britney's visit.

Today's Britney has no flirtatious flirtation and self-cooked grin that gave Zheng Ming a headache in the past. Her brows were tightly locked, her expression was solemn, and it was rare to give Zheng Ming the illusion that she was thinking deeply. The worry between his brows is very rare. It was the first time Zheng Ming had seen such a side of the other party.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me, you're worrying about what to eat for dinner? ”

Zheng Ming's half-joking relaxed tone did not have the slightest effect, and the solemn atmosphere between the two did not lessen in the slightest.

The two sat silently opposite each other. It wasn't until Zheng Ming made tea and poured a cup for the other party that the silence was broken by Britney.

"I might be leaving. The previous quest has been completed, no new quests have been explored, and the dungeon's dwell time is almost over. ”

The information revealed in Britney's words made Zheng Ming's eyes flash slightly, and he nodded slightly and then responded quite flatly.

"Oh."

"I want to stay a little longer, can you give me a little bit of your remaining time? I can trade it for you items or in-game currency. ”

"I'm sure you know that. I've been in this world for a long time. Actually, I didn't stay much longer. I'm so sorry. ”

Originally, Zheng Ming just wanted to rely on the most troublesome way to confuse the fact that he was not a player. However, what he didn't expect was that Britney glanced at Zheng Ming deeply after hearing this answer, and her face showed a look of loneliness.

Just as Zheng Ming was thinking about whether he should say something to avoid trouble, Britney's next words made his face change.

"Sure enough...... You're not a gamer, are you? We don't have the time to transfer at all, and the currency can only be transferred in a few special places. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Ming's heart was shocked, and his brain spun rapidly, thinking about the consequences that might occur after his identity was revealed.

Exposed? When exactly did it start?

What Zheng Ming had been worried about still happened. It is precisely because of this worry that Zheng Ming has always deliberately kept a distance from others. However, what he didn't expect was that Britney, who was not very shrewd and familiar with herself, actually noticed his lie through this period of contact.

I got carried away when I woke up. What's next? Do you want to kill people?

But for her, it's a game. Is it likely that killing her will only get her back to the save point? Or a running corpse? It's impossible that she's going to die in reality, right? What should be leaked will still be leaked.

Tell the truth? Or do you deny it?

With all kinds of thoughts flying, although Zheng Ming barely regained his calm face, the hands under the table that were constantly clenched and loosened exposed his struggling heart.

"But you know that this is a game world, and you also know that Starfall Continent exists. The way we think and speak is also very similar to us. Have you been in contact with the player for a long time? Or ......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Britney smiled and took out a green certificate-like object from her arms.

Zheng Minghu looked at Britney, who had a bitter meaning in her smile, suspiciously, and took the props handed over by the other party.

[Name: Certificate of Separation]

[Type: Special Item]

[Effect: Can open a one-time passage to connect to the Starfall Continent]

[Introduction: After use, a passage two meters high and one meter wide will appear, and things of a certain weight will disappear after passing through once.] There is a noticeable pre-opening time, and it is possible to apply it without interference. The other passage cannot spawn in a specific location, and can only appear randomly within the Starlanding area. If it is a sapient being, it needs to obtain the approval of the other party to open the teleportation. 】

[Note: Don't try to shoehorn a "character" larger than the passage into it, otherwise it is likely that only a part of it will be teleported.] There are no other extras to this item, so if you want to teleport the natives, I hope you think it through. 】

“em…… The remarks of this prop are quite serious. ”

I don't know why, the first thing that came to Zheng Ming's mind was such an absurd thought. Shaking his head in amusement, Zheng Ming looked at Britney Spears, who was looking at him expectantly.

"You're going to take me to the Starfall Continent?"

"You can see it! You are not indigenous. ”

Seeing Britney's eyes lit up, she couldn't help but stand up and lean against herself on the wooden table, as if she wanted to take a closer look at the scarce animal, Zheng Ming turned her head unhappily.

"Tsk, you were lying to me."

In the case of extremely unequal information between the two sides, this is also a helpless thing. Zheng Ming didn't know that all the natives except him couldn't see the item information, and he didn't know that all players could see it like him.

So when Britney casually handed him the props for him to see, he didn't think about it at all.

"I'm getting more and more interested in you. Give me an honest account. Honest children will be rewarded~. ”

Sensing Britney Spears getting closer and closer, Zheng Ming glanced at each other, and his eyes happened to be attracted by the white flowers that were close in front of him. Just as his gaze was drawn deeper and deeper by the deep chasm, Britney sat back in her place, and the enchanting arc was also far away.

"You can rest assured that I can tell you. I have the Oath Item, and we can make a vow. That way you're not afraid to leak, and I can satisfy my curiosity. I'm sure you haven't talked to anyone about it in years, right? Don't you find it boring to keep hiding secrets? ”

Zheng Ming looked at Britney, who was full of interest in front of him, and showed a puzzled look.

"Why? Would you be so interested? I've asked other players, you who can join the so-called 'Phantom Society', a gathering place for madmen, shouldn't be this kind of character, right? ”

"What character? Upside-down character? ”

With a mocking look in her eyes, Britney's spicy words were slightly stunned when she saw the default Zheng Ming, and after thinking for a long time, she exhaled a long breath and revealed a complicated expression.

"I also want to know why. That's why I want to ask clearly~~~. ”

The long tail note is full of confusion and struggle, sweetness and novelty. The helpless tone and happy expression, without the usual temptation of slight color, exuded a strange beauty, which made Zheng Ming on the side stunned on the spot.
