On July 1st, when it gets dark, Seraf's free trial ends.

By this time, almost everyone on campus had gone in and experienced it, and when they walked out of Seraf, their faces were invariably shocked and indescribably impressed.

In the past, when it was dark, the huge campus was filled with only lovers and students who were returning from the library late and hurrying in their footsteps, but today the night is as noisy as day.

The students gathered in twos and threes, in taverns and coffee houses, and even under the magic street lamps, you and I excitedly discussed what they had seen in Seraf.

As far as the trainees of the combat department are concerned, most of them lack actual combat experience, so much so that after listening to "Requiem" countless times, and the sentence "You pass by death", even the soft female voice is a little disgusted.

I wonder if Miss Chacha, who is the source of the sound, has been sneezing for a day......

The students of the non-combat department also experienced a different scenery in the dungeon. In the three copies, whether it is the landform, climate, or cultural landscape, they are all perfectly restored to their original appearance in Luokan, so they are also refreshing the students' understanding of the world outside Jialan.

And they have begun to start from the clues, and gradually dig out the background stories of these three through research and research.

This is probably the early strategy party and the research party.

There is no doubt that as a "game", the content provided by Seraf is quite obscure and difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hardcore, just like "Twilight Era", if it were not for its technology to form a monopoly at the beginning, according to the opinion of the media and gamers, it would not have been a phenomenal game at all.

But there is always a preconceived notion in everything, and the reason why players on the planet shy away from "difficult" games is because they were invented to relax their nerves and have fun at heart, until they gradually get tired of this kind of flat rhythm, and then they begin to pursue complexity and difficulty. In the future, as a commodity, games have to lower the threshold to attract more buyers in order to match sales, which is undoubtedly the self-regulation of a mature industry within a certain coefficient.

But Lokan is different, and Seraf has made them hardcore players from the start.

There is no shortage of Jit M in this world, what is missing is the opportunity to discover and create Jitter M. Just like before the appearance of Hidetaka Miyazaki on the earth, how could so many people know that they are shaking M, this time in Luokan, Mu Yan played this role.

Among Jialan's students, there are naturally many who were knocked down by difficulty and collapsed, but their complaints quickly disappeared in this environment.

Most of the combat scientists are immersed in this process of getting stronger, and the thrill of the blood surging in the moment of life and death is more refreshing than the climax, especially the moment when they finally slash the monster after listening to the "Requiem" countless times, it is like a gushing pleasure that makes people tremble.

As for whether they will ignore their own lives because they can't distinguish the difference between reality and fantasy...... This was expected by Mu Yan.

Kills in the arena are only counted in actual combat, not in the brain, and Mr. Zha has done some tricks for illusion, making it a subtle difference from reality, the former is like a dream, and after waking up, it will slowly fade into oblivion with the passage of time, which is not so real, but the intuition and muscle memory left in the subconscious are common, so it can not only serve the effect of rehearsal, but also avoid this confusion.

And when Mr. Glazer sets up the phantom creatures, he only makes them disappear before they actually kill the target, so it is inevitable to cause actual damage, and even be disabled by the phantom creatures - that's why Miss Chacha is in the center to oversee all this: what the AI can't do will be left to her to judge, and use the stored healing spells to treat it urgently at a critical moment.

Of course, this comes at an additional cost.

In addition to these, there are some more depressed students.

After all, the frustration of strategizing in a dungeon for a long time and finally losing because you don't know what went wrong will be more durable, more long-term, and more difficult to dissolve than the frustration of dying at the hands of Warcraft in the arena.

One of the more representative is the brotherhood of His Royal Highness Philo.

After being wiped out by the resentful soul flowers, several people were not in the mood to continue trying. As a last resort, I spent an afternoon discussing it in the school's coffee house.

Later, after someone checked the information, they learned that Nightlight Town is a remote town in the Morning Star Kansa region, how remote is it...... The town doesn't even have a decent church, and to a certain extent, knights whose territory is sealed in Nighttown are equivalent to issuing a frontier......

However, thanks to Morningstar's excellent patriotic education, even the knights of that place have serious hatred and hostility towards the Jialan Empire.

Knowing this stubble, everyone was stunned.

Philo also understood that the root of everything was that he thought things too simply.

Even for mercenary missions, it is necessary to collect and analyze intelligence and make judgments based on specific situations. And they are just a group of students, even if some people have experience in going out on tasks, but under the condition that Shadow Footsteps has planned everything in advance, they don't need to get involved in too many processes, so they are no different from young students.

At the very least, none of them realized that as mercenaries from the sky, the costumes of the group could not be too uniform and brilliant...... Then it becomes a heavily armed army.

"Could it be that we still have to go to the mercenary guild to find a guy to lead the way?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"What are you kidding, how could those rude and lewd fellows, who are like wild dogs with sloppy dogs at the sight of women, be allowed in?" Someone dismissively said, "They're even worse than Barry." ”

"I know that I have a personal choice, and it couldn't be more suitable."

Desmond touched his chin and said, he felt that this position was simply tailor-made for someone.

……

……

In the confinement room, Samuel came uninvited, and uncharacteristically, chattering to Barry about his experiences and observations in Seraf.

And Master Barry, after three months of careful consideration, finally got rid of the trouble of the article in the newspaper at the beginning, and let Samuel go crazy when he no longer saw him.

Although he was still inevitably influenced by some words to change his behavior, he was able to communicate with him normally.

At this time, it was nearly a month before his ban was lifted, so he could only learn about Seraf and the information meeting from other people's mouths.

This also makes Master Barry, who is resistant and has never experienced Seraf firsthand, feel that everyone else is a bun and has never seen the world, and a little novelty can buy them, so he can't help but despise Samuel a little more.

Hum...... Do you also have today?

“…… Anyway, that guy did something amazing, and I began to believe the old man. Samuel concluded, sighing with emotion.

"Seraf, it's a miracle."

"So what are you going to do?" Barry asked with a frown.

Unlike Samuel, his feelings for Mu Yan are only hatred.

"Listen, Barry." Samuel looked serious, "I thought about what that guy wanted to do for a long time, and then I finally figured it out - he wanted to dilute the fear and respect of the untouchables for us in this way.

"There's a list on it, and I've seen several familiar names, and no doubt others have seen them—and I've heard more than once today from the untouchables, 'This group of nobles is nothing more than that, and there are few on the list,' and there is less awe in their eyes, respect for the real nobles. You understand what that means, right? ”

"You're worrying, aren't you?" Barry smiled disdainfully, "It's just a fresh thing, when the freshness passes, no one cares, untouchables are untouchables after all, even if they are dressed in wolf skins, they can't change the nature of pigs." ”

"You're naïve, Barry. That guy was right when he said that those untouchables, while hating and hating us, were essentially envious. They envy us for enjoying resources far beyond theirs. But now, Seraf's list is using data to tell them that even though we enjoy such abundant resources, we are still so vulnerable, still so fragile, and still so stupid! This means that they will gradually develop self-confidence. ”

Barry squinted at him, wanting to say something, but a line of text flashed through his mind.

- When there is nothing to say, Barry always subconsciously retorts out of habit, even though he raises the bar most of the time.

Still is...... Forget it.

So he patiently asked, "So what do you want to do?" ”

"In that case, why don't we crush their hopes completely?" Samuel sneered: "There are still some capable guys in the group of wastes under your hands, it's time for them to play a role, whether it's coercion or lure, let them occupy a prominent position on the list, and I will also find a way to let my people go up."

"Besides, I heard that His Highness Philo and his ridiculous brotherhood were deflated in the dungeon, this is really a big joke, this group of people usually don't take us seriously, is there a better chance to fight back than now?"

"Samuel, you guy is much more excited today than ever...... You can't have a fever, do you? ”

"Of course not." Samuel snorted, "But my brain and hands are hot...... You haven't felt Seraf, you don't know how amazing it is...... I had a hunch that the idiots at Kane's Horn would get down on their knees and beg to resume cooperation with him. Even, I even suspect that this will attract the attention of the royal family and the tower, after all, a few of the Scout Section members say that the tasks they have experienced in the training ground are more rigorous than the mock tests, and the enemy is no less vigilant than any forbidden place in Falan City. How would the military and Shadow Footsteps feel if they heard the news? There is no doubt that they will value this list and even screen talent on it...... Do you understand what that means?

"What?"

"You're as stupid as a pig! This means that the guy gave this group of untouchables a out! Person! Head! Earth! Target! Machine! Yes! ”

Samuel uttered this sentence almost through gritted teeth.

"Since he wanted to send a message to the untouchables that they were not as far away from us as they seemed, he was trying to pull them out of despair. Then I, Samuel Toure, will crush this hope with my own hands! I want to tell them in the harsh reality that what is more terrible than despair is the coldness and darkness of hope! The lowly should stay where the lowly was born, and don't try to get into the aristocratic stuff! ”

Barry stared at him in amazement, and for the first time he felt that he was less ambitious than Samuel.

……

……

In the hut of the Youyue Workshop, Mu Yan was rarely at ease, and he was holding a sample of "A Song of Frost and Fire - The Beginning of Trouble" bound into a single book and reading it with relish.

Suddenly, Miss Judy bursts in, followed by a slightly flustered Dridge.

"Teacher Mu Yan."

"Huh?"

"That voice! That voice is Cha Cha's? Where is she? ”

Mu Yan closed the book and looked at her calmly.

"Three months on, are you sure you're calm enough to face that incident peacefully?"

Judy knew what he was talking about and bit her lip.

As Barry's day of release from confinement drew closer, so did her nightmares...... She didn't want to lie to herself, and she didn't want to cheat Cha Cha.

Seeing this, Mu Yan sighed, things won't make much progress until the problem of Barry is really solved.

"You're an honest kid, and she's kind – I don't think you've done anything wrong. Anyway, wait a little longer, girls, always more sensitive, if you want to replace it with Deres and Dririch, two barrels of ale will be solved. Right? ”

Dridge rolled his eyes, he wanted to say that he could choke on half a barrel.

But when he thought of that incident, he didn't feel good in his heart, and his fists clenched and loosened.

"It's time to comfort her, boy."

Well?

Dridge glanced at Mu Yan, who lunged at Judinunu.

Sure enough, the voice came from him.

So Dridge understood, and he stepped forward and gently hugged Judy, stroking her hair.

"It's going to be okay......"
