I entered the game, and a short time after I walked out of my private dormitory, I noticed that the atmosphere around me was very eerie.

In the dark corridors, around the corners, in hidden corners, two or three dark elves can be found whispering. As soon as anyone else approached, they immediately stopped talking.

But the secret posture of hiding from outsiders seems to be just a façade. Because although the two dark elves over there were immediately silenced when the third party approached, pretending to be indifferent, the third party just approached them and whispered a few words, and the three of them immediately began to speak, but they were still cautious, deliberately reducing the volume very low, as if they were afraid that others would find out.

Quirky, there must be quirky! When did these NPCs become so chatty?

……

This is the third group, and every group of whispering dark elves will scatter as soon as they notice that I am trying to get closer. Let me want to eavesdrop on what they're saying and can't do anything.

Why are you avoiding me?

By the way, I looked down and saw that the family crest marked the status of nobility reflected the glow of demon fire on my chest.

It's a bad thing, those civilian NPCs are afraid of being punished by the nobles. In that case, hum......

I barricaded a civilian in a servant garb in a corner.

"Tell me what you just discussed!" I was straightforward with my request.

The other party was at a loss, and tried to prevaricate: "Your Excellency, I ...... I don't know what you're talking about, I was just talking to someone about the silver cutlery from the grey dwarf merchant......"

"Oh~" I reached out and touched the tips of her long trembling ears, and said slowly, "I don't intend to punish you for what you talk about in private, I just want to know some information." But if you dare to deceive me, you will be punished......"

As she spoke, her hand moved downward, brushing over her smooth and swarthy face, and resting gently on her slender neck. The seemingly ambiguous posture is not romantic at all because I am wearing cold and hard iron gloves on my hands.

"In the previous time of the Pillar of Darkness, two families attacked, and the two families that were attacked were wiped out." The civilian servants under him were very knowledgeable about current affairs, and answered crisply and neatly.

The darkness of the previous pillar of time - refers to last night. In the center of Demon Blade City, a large natural stone pillar connects the dome and the ground, which is used to keep time. At the end of the day, the city's mages cast a fire spell at the bottom of it to light it up. This spell works for as long as the ground lasts for a day. The heat generated by the spell slowly rises along the stone pillar until the entire pillar turns completely red in the eyes of the dark vision of the dark elves. Then it will quickly fade in heat, indicating the arrival of darkness.

"Which families are involved?"

"The Denyak family destroyed the Scimitar family, and the Giant Jaw family made the mushroom family disappear."

The electric arrow family? Isn't that the family of Cheng Hui's game character, the black belt Ah Hui.

When he was practicing, the unexpected thing he said was that his own family would attack other families. In other words, even if the player is not online, the game character is still affected and conditioned by the development of relevant events in the game.

The scimitar family that was destroyed by the electric arrow family, although it was a little higher than the original 23rd ranked electric arrow family, was only a small and medium-sized family, and the other two giant jaw family and the mushroom umbrella family knew that they were only small families at the bottom of the line. And these weak families are neither capable of becoming allies of the Dark Flame Family, nor are they qualified to be enemies, and their rise and fall will not affect the Dark Flame Family, which ranks 9th in Demon Blade City, to which I belong. Why would the civilian NPCs in the clan care about this?

"It's not the first time that families have attacked each other and even perished, so why are you so keen to talk about this and afraid of being discovered?"

"Because...... In the past, in Demon Blade City, there were no frequent attacks between families, and even in a single Pillar of Darkness, two families were destroyed. However, this can only be discussed in private, and there is no survivor of the extinct family to testify, so all this has never happened, and the extinct family has never existed, and no one can discuss this matter openly. She replied uneasily.

"Good." I withdrew my hand from her neck, and a gold coin popped out of my other hand for her to catch," ...... Here's the pay. He waved her away, and she slipped away as quickly as if she had been amnesty. One gold coin is a little less, but it's enough for everyone to know.

Although the aristocracy can force the commoners to obey, I do not agree with the blind coercion method, which will only bring hostility, and the level of status does not affect the lethality of the quenched dagger pierced in the back. Of course, I don't think NPC commoners would dare to attack the nobles even in private. The Dark Elves are insurmountable, and those who dare to offend the upper classes are severely punished, and if a commoner attacks a nobleman out of personal jealousy or personal vendetta, even if he is lucky or unfortunate enough to succeed after ruling out the factor of strength, he does not leave any evidence or witnesses, according to the iron law of the Dark Elves: what cannot be proved is that it never happened. Although the deceased would be considered a useless loser, the mistress must maintain the authority of the ruling class in the family, and there is no special reason to execute the commoners in the family, and the murderer still cannot escape punishment, but the reason for the punishment is different. However, if the action is directed by another family or another nobleman, then the iron law of the dark elves still applies. It is always easier for a hateful person to gain more supporters for his opponents. As a newcomer to the aristocratic class, I will inevitably offend the original interests of other nobles, at least I already know that someone is not very friendly to me, which is the main reason why I take soft measures against NPC commoners.

The junior brother shouldn't have to worry about it, after all, he is on the winner's side, and there should be no problem with safety, even if there is any danger, it is also the time when the previous time pillar is dark, so even if there is something, it is useless to worry. I'm not responsible for thinking.

According to what the civilian said before, in Demon Blade City, there were no frequent attacks between families in Demon Blade City, but now they are so abnormal, what is going on? Although only a few small and medium-sized families have been attacking each other so far, I don't know when it will affect the Dark Flame family. How can I do it at this time, so that I can profit from it without getting into trouble? That's what I have to think about first.
