"Stop! Don't spin anymore, you're spinning around and I'm dizzy! Yichen complained.

I stopped and smiled apologetically at Yichen. It was a habit of mine in the past, and I used to walk in circles with brisk walks when I was thinking about things or restless. At this moment, why did you unconsciously show it in the game?

Looking up at the Fourth Family's mansion in front of him, there were constant flashes of battle. I turned to Yichen and asked, "Why can't we participate in the battle but wait here?" ”

"Uh~ This, we are mercenaries, we can do whatever the employer tells us, tell us to block the fish that have slipped through the net on the periphery, and we have to wait here." Yichen said helplessly.

"Hmm~ It seems that the NPCs of the first family don't take the gem mercenary group seriously at all." Although the sentence structure is interrogative, I used a definite tone.

“…… Oh, yes. Yichen reluctantly admitted: "Actually, the mercenary is really not very good in the dark elf society, but the strength of our gem mercenary group is not bad, and generally small and medium-sized families should be afraid of it." But this strength is nothing in front of the first family. ”

"Cut!" The bounty hunter on the side said dissatisfiedly: "In front of the first family, who is nothing? After the kobold slaves who used as cannon fodder to clear mines died, weren't the soldiers of the Second Family who oversaw the slaves also excluded from the battle? ”

"Alas~" He lamented again: "It's worthy of the first family, it's really a lot!" Looking at the appearance of the soldiers, we are like a rabble in comparison, and we don't know how their players are so high-quality, and those soldiers can't seem to tell who is the player and who is the NPC. ”

“…… They're all NPCs! Yichen's words were amazing.

"Huh? How do you know? The bounty hunter and I asked in unison.

"Guess!" Yichen's answer caused the bounty hunter to look up in an exaggerated gesture of vomiting blood. But I knew there must be some reason for what he said, and watched him quietly and waited for the following.

"Have you ever seen a player belonging to the Eight Great Ruling Families?" Yichen asked us rhetorically.

"Didn't pay attention!" This is my straightforward answer.

"Like...... Didn't you? The bounty hunter thought for a moment and replied uncertainly.

"I've investigated, and no one in the entire Demon Blade City has ever seen a player belonging to the Eight Great Ruling Families."

"What do you mean......" I frowned, "But, in that case, wouldn't the forces of the other clans born from the player soon surpass the eight ruling families?" ”

"Not necessarily, this aspect can be compensated for by other methods, such as increasing the birth and adulthood rate of family NPCs."

"Be clear." Listen to the bewildered bounty hunter request.

"Well, I guess I get it." I thought about it and said, "Assuming that each family has a certain percentage of the birth and adult base according to the number of people, and our players are basically equivalent to adults as soon as they are born, then the born players will have a partial number of the family's adult base. Families that have not been born to the player, or the remaining adult base of the population are replenished by NPCs,"

"Well, that's not what I meant." Yichen was stunned for a moment and said, "But your statement may be more reasonable. ”

"Possibly?" The bounty hunter interjected.

"Yes, it's possible, it's all just our speculation."

"Cut, don't take out that kind of uncertain thing to mislead others!" The bounty hunter was a little angry, but I think he was actually angry because he didn't understand what we were saying.

I smiled down, and then looked up at the Fourth Family Residence, where the deadly flashes of battle still flashed from time to time.

"You want to go?" Yichen asked sensitively.

"Yes!"

"I want to too! Most people here want to! Everyone is eager to take part in the battle. The bounty hunter said, "But no! We have to take into account the position of the mercenary group, although the mercenary group has not tried to go against the will of the employer, but this time it is the first family, we can't afford to offend! ”

"What's my business!"

"But you're wearing the emblem of our mercenary group!"

"That way it won't bother you." I reached down and removed the emblem of the Gem Mercenary Regiment, and flicked my finger to the bounty hunter.

He hurriedly took down the badge and said, "If you don't wear the badge and go in, you will be crushed by both hostile sides!" ”

"I know, but I can't help it, if I don't go, I always feel uneasy."

The bounty hunter handed back the mercenary group's emblem badge: "Okay, you better wear it, otherwise, you will be attacked by the mercenaries first on the way to the fourth family's official residence." ”

"I have a better amulet." I rejected the badge handed me by the bounty hunter, pulled out a bottle of invisibility potion from my belt, and was about to unscrew the cap to drink it, but I didn't notice that it was snatched away by Yichen's hand.

"What is this?"

"Invisibility potion."

"Damn! Did you know that the Invisibility Potion is out of stock in the market right now, and the potion only lasts for 10 minutes, and if you get hit or you attack someone else, it will be invalid, how many bottles are you going to waste tonight? ”

"Do you have a better way?"

"No, but I have a better alternative." A simple silver ring was pulled out from Yichen's hand: "This lends you." ”

"The Invisibility Ring, the wearer becomes invisible when the command is activated. Instructions are the word 'invisible' and there is no limit to the number of activations. Yichen blinked: "You can save a lot of potions." ”

The Invisibility Ring is not as valuable as the Freedom of Movement Ring I am wearing on my right hand, but it is very useful. Because there is no limit to the number of activations, it can be activated at any time, which is much more convenient than carrying around a dozen invisible scrolls or potions. It's a favorite of thieves, but it's also very popular with the Dark Elves, who like to act stealthily in the shadows. I've wanted one for a long time, but this kind of magic item is not something that can be bought casually on the market, it is a precious treasure that cannot be found.

I didn't expect Yichen to get one, and he lent it to me generously.

Take off the jumping ring on your left hand and put on the invisibility ring. Although ten fingers can be worn with a magic ring, only the first ring on each hand will have an effect, and the third ring will be useless and will only become an ornament.

The jumping ring was taken away by Yichen and given to the bounty hunter on the spot, and I understood that Yichen said that he was borrowing, but in fact he gave the invisibility ring to me. This made me a little embarrassed, because the person who got the replacement ring was muttering, "Why do I only deserve to take the knock-out items?" ”

"You don't like this jumping ring?" Yichen asked in a very sincere tone. Those who are dissatisfied immediately shut up.

"Invisible!" I twisted the ring on my hand and activated the command.
