10. Fellow travelers

Maximilian Cromwell is a celebrity, different from Cheng Peng's celebrity in the "Big Adventure" game, this Mr. Marco is not very famous in the game, but he is very famous outside the game - he was born in a famous British family, the family has a hereditary title of viscount, and hundreds of millions of family fortunes, he is a typical upper-class person, but unlike those social parasites, Marco has been keen to study history and philosophy since he was a child, and at the age of fourteen, he was hopelessly "hooked" with "communist" theory - We all know that if there is anything in this world that can attract hot-blooded young people more than a cult, it is only "ideals." And "communism" is precisely the most grandiose, glorious and fascinating ideal in the history of mankind!

The young Marco fell into the ideals of "communism" and soon betrayed his class and became a revolutionary. He went to the grassroots level, worked with the poorest, most despised, and lowest social status people, gave them advice, helped them run for them, and completed several famous rights protection, so he became a well-known social activist.

However, what really made him famous was after he changed his name to "Maximilian Cromwell" - this name was certainly not his real name, but came from the two famous revolutionaries Maximilian Robespierre and Oliver Cromwell, and Marco chose such a name for himself, and the intention can be imagined.

Just talking about not practicing fake tricks, of course Marco is not a fake trick, just the information on the surface, he presided over several large-scale strike movements, the largest one almost swept the whole of Europe, and even became the fuse of the economic crisis in southern and central Europe, and the "Just, Fair and Open Movement Alliance" led by him took this opportunity to carry forward, won parliamentary seats in several countries, making this revolutionary who was less than 50 years old impressively one of the most famous figures in European politics.

After the advent of the Datong society, Mr. Marco's revolutionary activities gradually fell silent, and he began to study and discuss the question of how to build 'communism' in the spiritual realm. And at this time, some unknown things about him finally surfaced - this seemingly harmless middle-aged uncle planned and presided over at least five social riots in the Third World. As a result, at least three dictators either died in old age or went directly to the gallows...... Adventure 10

Cheng Peng had contact with this revolutionary in the game before, and that was not long after he stepped into the four-star, when he took a group of top masters who also belonged to the four-star, cooperated with the White Wings Guild under Chu Fengge, and accepted Marco's commission to go to the world of the "Sealed Sword" to carry out a revolution, trying to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy and establish a capitalist democratic society.

A lot of unexpected things happened in that world, and although everyone worked hard and they won the final battle, they completely failed in terms of the original goal - the final ending of the world of the Sealed Sword was still the traditional "the brave defeated the dragon, and the prince and princess led the new era", and Marco's plan was completely lost.

However, including Cheng Peng, everyone involved in this mission has gained a lot, and the White Wings Guild has finally carved out a world of its own, from a mercenary under the fence to a sitting tiger who occupies the mountain, and Cheng Peng and they have obtained a lot of treasures - his usual divine weapon "Ice and Snow Spear" is from that world.

A person may not be able to remember the passer-by who is just a general friend with him, and he can't remember the enemy who has a little trouble with him, but it is basically impossible to remember the God of Wealth who brought him rich benefits, and Cheng Peng is naturally the same. Mr. Marco's impression of "the first master of the game" may have been relatively weak, but he was deeply impressed by this middle-aged uncle who was "a writing revolutionary and read as the God of Wealth"!

The reason why he came to the world of "Goddess Sideshow" this time was that Shen Qi suggested that he come to Marco to cooperate and do a big thing together.

"Maybe it's just your own words, and you won't get too much attention to what you do - then we can think differently and find someone who will attract attention to work with." At that time, Shen Qi was giving advice on the predicament that Cheng Peng was facing, "There are some people, what they do is either unsuccessful, but as long as they succeed, it is always earth-shattering - I just know that there is such a person, who is planning such a thing, and it happens that you know him!" ”

What she said was, of course, Marco.

Maximilian Cromwell is not very keen on playing games, but he can always easily mingle with people, find suitable teammates for tasks, dungeons, etc., plus he is very old as one of the first gamers, so he has become a master of the five-star peak in the past few years, and he is only one step away from stepping into the six-star. I also got to know a large group of capable players and accumulated a lot of contacts.

Therefore, the nature of this hot-blooded revolutionary began to stir again......

And as the saying goes, "either you don't do it, you have to do it, you want to make it bigger", with the improvement of Marco's strength, his vision is also constantly improving, this time the target of his eyes is no longer the emperor and general in the world, but the gods and demons that are high above!

In the world of "Goddess Sideways", gods and demons have a very mean and cold attitude towards human beings, and they are intriguing for their respective power and status, using all kinds of means, and they don't care about the life or death of human beings at all. Marco's plan this time is to take the opportunity of the gods and demons to launch the "Battle of Ragnarok" to defeat these two scourges together, so that this world can be freed from the control of gods and demons, and enter the "age of men" from the "age of gods".

Of course, he is definitely not the kind of ambitious person who only sees the ideal and does not see the reality, the gods and demons in the world of the "Goddess Sideshow" are not too strong, if there is no "Divine Spear Kungunir" guarding the "Asaph Garden" of the God Realm, "Long Baoyu" guarding the "Midged" of the Human Realm, the "Bow of Light" guarding the "Elfheim" of the Elven Realm, and the "Magic Sword Levantin" guarding the "Nivelheim" of the Underworld, their strength does not even have an absolute advantage over humans.

Such a world is just right for Marco to make waves - no, revolution!

Since almost eight months ago, he came to this world with some like-minded comrades, when the plot of this world was slowly unfolding, and Renas, the goddess of fate, was looking for heroic war spirits everywhere in the world, teaching them, cultivating them into excellent combat effectiveness, and then sent to Valhalla in the heavenly realm to participate in the war between the Asaph gods and other gods and demons - in short, the selection of elite troops.

The scale of the War of the Gods is extremely large, and it is naturally impossible for Renas to select only a handful of war spirits in the game. The goddess of great strength and gentleness tirelessly travels the earth, collecting souls that sparkle like jewels, guiding them to regain their spirits, grow them again, and then send them into the heavenly realm one by one, expecting them to shine on their respective battlefields.

This is a very hard job, even if it is a powerful goddess, there is no guarantee that she can always arrive in time, and she can't guarantee that she will always be able to collect the battle spirit in time, which naturally gives Marco and others an opportunity to take advantage of.

Using magical techniques that are not of this world, they have established a stronghold in a large wetland away from the hustle and bustle. Re-fixing human souls from illusory spirits into entities through a huge magic array is similar to the process of a goddess transforming a war spirit into a heroic spirit, but it is much less efficient. It's just that unlike the huge number of gods and goddesses under the command of the goddess, the heroes in their team are all people who are skeptical of gods and demons because of their life experience, Marco, a social activist, with his strong appeal and outstanding persuasiveness, easily persuaded these guys who were not "brave" to turn their backs on gods and demons and participate in the great battle they called "Liberation War".

There are fewer people and fewer people, compared to most of the heroic spirits on the side of the Asaph Protoss who intelligently use standard equipment, the heroic spirits on Marco's side are armed to the teeth one by one, and their whole body equipment is complete and gorgeous, comparable to those plot corners directly under the goddess, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong - their exercise and cultivation are accompanied by the players, and under the dedication and protection of the players, their strength can be imagined!

In the past six months or so, the power of the "Pseudo Valhalla" in the Great Wetland has continued to expand, not only cultivating many "colorful" heroic spirits, but also getting many powerful players to join - for example, Liu Xuan, most of the time he has been helping here with his teacher solemnly, contributing to the revolutionary cause. Adventure 10

"The adventure has been opened until now, although players have had the feat of destroying gods and slaying demons, they have never been able to subvert the rule of gods and demons, coupled with Mr. Marco's own sensitive identity, if he can succeed this time, it will definitely become a key event that attracts attention!" Shen Qi said.

So, Cheng Peng came here.

"You may not hate gods and demons, but I promise you that our actions will be in line with your philosophy, and they will certainly be the most exciting adventures of all!" Mr. Marco quickly recognized Cheng Peng and changed his words.

Cheng Peng smiled, and also stretched out his hand and shook it with him.

Maybe each other's goals are not the same, but the path is the same, and that's enough.
