Unlike the centralized landlord autocracy of the Radiant Empire, the political system of the Free Federation bears a lot of similarities with the alliance system of ancient Greek city-states in the history of the earth's time and space.

In a small area, small villages are located around a town, and town-level residential units are subordinate to a large county town in a slightly larger area. As for the county town, it is the largest independent administrative entity in the Free Federation, although the territory of a county town is generally not comparable to the provinces of the Radiant Empire, but in terms of number, there are only nine provinces in the entire empire, but there are twenty-six counties in the Free Federation. Therefore, in terms of the overall land area, the Free Federation, which occupies the vast majority of the southern continent, not only does not lose to the empire, but even strictly speaking, the territory of the federation is actually larger than the empire.

Twenty-six county towns are actually equivalent to twenty-six independent city-states, each of which has its own independent form of governance, some are citizens' councils, some are elder councils, and even some are implemented in essence like the empire, but the scale is much smaller. The system of adjudication, and the connection of these twenty-six distinct county towns into a whole is the federal council, which represents the will of the supreme alliance of the free federation.

However, although the system of government of the Free Federation is so complex, and there is a very chaotic entanglement of interests behind it, it does not have much impact on the players.

After all, they are not the real inhabitants of this world, and the land ownership and citizenship rights of each county town do not mean much to the players. And the parts that are meaningful to the players, such as the Criminal Code Crime Code (which is related to the player's guilt system), the Civic Honor Code (which correspond to the Imperial title system), and so on, are almost all the same in each county, and under the influence of the Federal Council, they do not differ much from place to place. At most, because of the different political ecology of each county, the means and best means that players can choose when performing the same type of mission will be different in each county, but to some extent, this is not considered a trouble, but rather adds to the fun of the game.

The town of Sheeran is a small town located in the southern part of the Free Commonwealth on the outskirts of the county town of Mercado.

In the original world of the continent of Emissia, this small town truly belonged to the kind of completely inconspicuous civilian gathering place. The county town of Mercado is an elder council system, and most of the nobles, wealthy merchants, and adults who formed the elder council live in the most prosperous county town, and small towns like Hiran Town, although not the lowest level of small villages, are not much comparable to the county town, and there are almost no big people living in the town, so naturally there will be no major incidents according to common sense.

However, in the last few days, the leisurely tranquility of this town has suddenly been shattered, and a group of "adventurers" from outside the world have appeared in this town without warning, and immediately began their unbelievable adventures with this town as a base.

The town's streets were populated with a sudden boom in inns, taverns, weapons shops, prop shops, and more. Although it is unlikely that there will be any good quality adventure materials for sale in a small town like this, these adventurers who suddenly appear do not seem to be disgusted, or they are clearly confident that they will be able to earn more money in the future for better equipment, so they do not hesitate to spend money at all. After all, unlike real mercenary adventurers who really need to support their families and die or be seriously injured once and everything will be over, these adventurers who can be infinitely reborn - players do have infinite possibilities, they are not afraid of death and disability and serious injury, and their strength growth is much easier than that of NPC adventurers, it is just a simple accumulation of data.

With the arrival of these strange adventurers, the wild wolves, bobcats, bears and tigers around the town that have gathered here for generations, and even occasionally cause a lot of trouble for the townspeople, began to suffer. Originally, humans would almost turn around and run when they saw them in the wild, and they could hunt down those unlucky ghosts as hunters of nature without any scruples, but now it's good that after these new people see them in the wild, they don't need to move, and they will immediately rush towards them like hungry ghosts who have seen a good meal, and then poke them desperately with those tattered knives and sticks in their hands. On the other hand, he shouted "Don't rob the monster, don't rob the monster!" Strange "slogans" like that.

- According to the testimonies of many monsters who have been refreshed and destroyed countless times, it is not uncommon for a monster to be accidentally stabbed in the ass in such a hellish scuffle, and many monsters have gone crazy from being stabbed in the ass at first, and have become accustomed to it later, and even a few have awakened a strange pleasure ♂ (huh ♂?). ♂ Mystery is cool? It's just a matter of a few days......

…… Huh? What strange ♂ information seems to have been mixed in just now?

All in all, since Sheeran Town, no, strictly speaking, it should be the area around Mercado County, which is famous in the Free Federation as a peaceful area that has not experienced too many wars and chaotic invasions, so it is natural that this place has been chosen as one of the birthplaces for players after the launch of "Redemption".

And due to the rewriting of the laws of gamification, this generation of people and monsters has hardly wavered about the series of changes brought about by the appearance of players. And most players don't care if the NPCs and monsters of these novice villages will have any strange thoughts about them as adventurers who suddenly appear, in order to seize the opportunity in this promising game, players are desperately training levels, exploring the map, discovering quests and hidden plots, of course, there are also some players, especially female players, who are full of interest in the west fantasy world inside this game, in addition to leveling adventures, They will also take some time to wander around the near-real game world and experience a different kind of customs from modern life.

And on this day, on the afternoon of the third day of the open beta, in the town square of Hilan Town, a beautiful young girl appeared in the square with a white light out of thin air.

The beautiful white and blonde long hair is spread behind the head like silk, and there are two small twisted braids hanging down from the sides of the white cheeks that look like they are bounced and broken, and the delicate and lovely facial features, pure brown eyes, seem to be a little confused because of the interface change in front of them, and look like a beautiful girl who came out of the painting. Obviously, the initial outfit of the women's light armor on her body is the same as that of other novices, but when worn on this girl whose ID is called Rococo, it inexplicably makes people feel a kind of pure and lovely charm.

Maybe it's really the beauty effect.,Many players who happened to be around the square at this time or passed by noticed that this was obviously a novice beautiful girl who had just entered the game.。 Most of the women can't help but sigh at the beauty of this girl, and then out of human nature, they feel a little envious and jealous of this beauty, which is a little touched even by being of the same sex. Men, especially single men, are naturally attracted by the girl's style, and they can't help but have some impulses to come forward and talk to them as game veterans.

After all, the appearance modification function of the game "Redemption" is not very powerful, which players are already very clear to now, and the appearance of players in the game is basically not much different from the appearance in reality. Rococo looks so beautiful in the game, then in reality it must definitely be a little beauty. If you can build a good relationship in the game, you can even extend the relationship to the real world......

It's a pity that these people will never know that the girl named Rococo in front of them is not the same kind of existence as them at all.

Unlike those common natural protagonists, Rococo has a very clear understanding of what kind of heterosexual charm he has for men since he was first given this body by Mira. Therefore, standing in the square, Rococo was clearly able to notice the gaze from all around, and she was not disturbed by these gazes, and after a moment of confusion caused by the initial scene change, she immediately began to study her current state of player mode.

First of all, there is not much difference between the control interface and the NPC mode, the status bar, the skill inventory, and some other vision adjustment auxiliary functions are all in this great section, and the difference is only in some details.

The most intuitive is the status bar. Since Rococo was just a village girl in the previous NPC mode, she didn't have any special combat skills, so there was only a lonely green meter bar representing health in the status bar. And now, she has chosen the physics profession of a crossbow archer, and there is a yellow meter bar written "Strength Value" below the original health value, obviously although it is not a blue magic bar from the imagination, but it seems that the function and magic value of this so-called strength value should be the same, and they are all used to support the consumption of skills...... Probably this is the difference between a physics profession and a magic profession?

"Arya?"

"Huh?"

Mentally tried to call Alia's name, and soon Rococo received a reply.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ke?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see if I can contact you, after all, Mira told me before that you are the system assistant of the NPC system, and I am still wondering if I can't contact you if I switch to player mode."

"It's okay, it's true that I'm just a system assistant to the NPC system, so I can't run out in player mode like before, but I can still communicate with you, after all, the NPC system is still in your body, but it's just temporarily switched to a state similar to standby hibernation."

"That's good......

Although Alya is a little stupid, it is still quite reliable when it comes to serious things, and she has the right to access the game information of her previous life in the NPC system, so it is very convenient to be able to directly use this support in player mode.

"Ke, do you need me to tell you how to operate Player Mode?"

"Well, you can put it simply...... Ah, now wait."

Saying this, Rococo glanced at several young male players around her who were already approaching at this moment when she was in a daze, and there was a very cold look on a beautiful little face, which made these male players who wanted to talk to each other subconsciously retreat.

Taking advantage of this gap, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Rococo took a step and walked quickly towards the alley outside the square.
