"No...... I advise you not to think like that. Curien shook his head, "Every player starts with your questions, but the reckless ones can't move an inch, do you know why?" ”

"Because...... Do NPCs also have likes and dislikes? Agni sensed that something was understood.

"That's right! NPCs have all kinds of emotions, and if they feel that a player is not trustworthy and respectful, then they will not hesitate to trample on all their dignity, and if it is serious, they will even hunt it down! Make it difficult for this player to move an inch! Curien shrugged.

"Therefore, if you want to live in this world, you must have a good relationship with the NPCs, participate in their social interactions, abide by their habits, and even participate in their political activities if necessary, so that you can live a better life. If you want to treat NPCs as objects to be slaughtered at will, like in other games, you will eventually die. ”

"I see......" Agni nodded, thoughtful. After a while, he asked, "What does that have to do with the reverence of force?" ”

Curien smiled, "That's about the NPC's values - oh, let's call them natives!" ”

"The history of the aborigines is too complicated to go into here, their history is a history that is born out of reverence for power. You see, there are holy lights, abysses, and all kinds of supernatural powers in this world, so how can human beings become masters on the earth?

"For they fear power, and have power, and do not do whatever they want. And the player's power comes too easily, and many can only show greed for power, which is why some natives hate the warlords.

"To become a true warrior, you don't have to have strength, you have to go through not only the physical training, but more importantly, the spiritual training." Curien looked at the fire, "Don't be enslaved by force, but control and revere force." ”

Agni Huo was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Actually, I understand all this, and I have always demanded this from myself. I didn't expect to be a little lost because I was in the game. The results of the battle against the Abyss army made me arrogant, and I ...... The aborigines also think that is nothing more than that. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was taught a hard lesson. ”

"That's because you haven't learned how to be a warrior yet, fighting is simple, just dare to take up arms, but becoming a warrior is not easy, it requires you to be in awe of weapons." Curien said.

"I don't really understand."

"So, let's put it this way, starting with your duel with the knight of Eroken today." Curien adjusted his sitting position and continued, "The sword tax actually comes from the respect for the sword bearer - the respect that a warrior has for the force between warriors, the sword is stuck in the ground, it doesn't really mean that you just go up and cut it, that's just a symbolic meaning. A long time ago, warriors duels with each other, using swords to represent their wealth and bets, and now although the meaning of the sword has changed, the symbolism is still the same, as long as you defeat the sword in the opponent's hand, then the remaining sword will naturally belong to you. ”

Agni covered his face and felt a little embarrassed: "In other words, my act of going up directly to cut the sword is not necessary, and it seems that I am stupid......"

"That's not what I said," Curien laughed, "I can't blame you for not knowing this, and you were asked to fight in the first place to delay time, this illegal tax in the name of dueling is inherently unjust, and in that case, we don't need to follow any rules of duel." It should be said that it is the best result to let you mess around, even other nobles and knights will not accuse you, but will laugh at each other. ”

Hearing him say this, Agni felt a little better.

After a moment of silence, Agni suddenly spoke: "Captain Julien, I have a request. ”

Curien raised an eyebrow: "You say! ”

"I want to see what you're capable of...... A duel with you! Agni stared at Curien earnestly, an inexplicable brilliance sprouting in his eyes.

"I don't think you need to prove yourself like that?"

"No, it's not that it's proving anything, it's that I understand something." Agni's heart as a martial artist was restless, "I was able to barely do some things before, but it was only because my foundation in the real world was stronger than ordinary people, but in this sense, it was only powerful in the realm of the real world. I have been bound in the real world for a long time, and now I find that in this world I can transcend the shackles of the real world and surpass my other self, so ...... I want to learn to be a warrior in this world and temper myself in the way of this world! ”

This truth is actually very simple, just like Tong Junwen's situation. Tong Junwen's strength is no longer bound by the so-called test scores, the shackles of the questioner are the full score of the exam paper, and it is just a matter of course for her to reach the top level, and there is no problem. Therefore, she needs to enter the wider world, throw away the so-called exam papers, and explore at the forefront of academics, and her examiner can only be herself.

It's the same with Agni, putting aside the shackles of the real world and integrating into a world that can no longer bind his heights, that's what he wants to do!

"So, you want to learn the way of fighting in this world on me?" Curien had understood what he was thinking.

"You're the strongest player I've ever met, and there are some things I can only find answers to in you!"

Curien looked at Agni, he saw the flame in Agni's eyes that belonged to the truly strong, sighed in his heart, and nodded.

"Good! As you wish, I will show you all I have learned! ”

The two held hands tightly and looked at each other and smiled.

"Hey! Head! Mint suddenly appeared beside the two of them, parted his clasped hands, hugged Agni and pulled aside, "You're a man with a wife and children!" You can't do anything to the fire! ”

Curien rolled his eyes angrily: "Bastard! What to say! ”

Mint ignored him and sat down in the middle of the crowd with the fire, and the group began to pour wine on the fire.

……

The convoy soon enters Fort Collogne, the first time Agni has seen the city in the game, and he is blown away by the medieval-style city.

Cologne Castle is built on the edge of the mountain and the water. The outer city belonged to ordinary peasants, filled with farms, slaughterhouses, tanneries, blacksmiths, and water conservancy facilities of all kinds, spreading along the hills and rivers outside the city, with no end in sight. The inner city was bounded by the city walls, and was dominated by the early out-of-work population, warriors, service makers, merchants, workshop workers, and citizens who made their living from other city trades.

The city is somewhat similar to the European cities during the Industrial Revolution, but because of the existence of transcendents and extraordinary powers, it is not as good as the miasma of Europe at that time, and the management of the city is also quite advanced, and it is not much different from the real city.

The three most prominent buildings in the inner city are the main fortress of the Marquis' Castle, the spire fortress of the National Knights, and the Church of the Holy Light, which represents the Holy Light and Angels, which players call the Temple of Reincarnation. The player's facilities are basically located around the perimeter of the temple, which is also the destination of the team.
