Chapter 2: The God of Springs and Flowers

The westerly wind that descends from the Branley Plateau, passes through the Honey Leaf Forest, carries the characteristic sweet scent of the region into Inruta, and circles the magnificent city without breaking the silence, rolling up the pollen of magnolias, and swaying along the mountain path of Momera to the far horizon.

Chim scratched his messy short hair and yawned, the afternoon of the cicada moon was the most sleepy time, even the hard-working knight apprentices, who were now full-fledged knights, would choose to sleep at this time to keep the afternoon refreshed.

So it's a great opportunity.

Because the Central Knight Academy of Ruta is forbidden to enter and leave at will in normal times, the knight apprentices need to concentrate on the day they become official knights, and they can only go out to play on festivals such as summer festivals, so even if it is not far from the bustling Reddens Street, the knight apprentices can only lie down the window and look at the ocean and sigh, just like Sim at this time.

Sim propped his chin in one hand and tapped the other on the birch of the window frame, his eyes half-open listlessly, as if he were about to fall asleep

One, two, three guards.

When the spear-wielding patrol guard turned around the stargazing tower, Sim suddenly moved, he bothered on the window frame, rolled over and jumped down the second floor, and then firmly stepped on the drainage channel built along the building, Sim took a breath and slowly moved into the shadow of the back of the sun.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced back and forth at the high wall in front of him, and then his gaze stopped at a few circular patterns drawn in hidden places, sure enough, although he was not caught last time, did he strengthen his vigilance, Sim thought so, he paused slightly, and said silently in his heart, attributes.

Pale green, near-transparent data glides across the retina, revealing lines of text

Compared to when he just crossed over, he was already able to open the attributes very naturally, Sim smiled bitterly, and really regarded this place as a game.

[Consumption Potential Attribute Points, Perception +2]

[Consume free attribute points, agility +2]

[Consumption Freedom Attribute Points, Strength +1]

Chim clung to the building, and attached his ears to it, whether it was the cry of a feathered bird in the bushes, or the sound of the wheels of a giant bell on the clock tower, or the slight sleep of the maid who cared for him, Ms. Gwille, the 15-o'clock perception reflected all the sounds into his ears in great detail.

"Half a minute left, at the speed of the guards, half a minute left."

Chim muttered to himself, and then he left the wall with both hands, and with a gentle push, he rolled over and jumped down, crossing a long parabola, and silently landing on a thick branch by the wall like a glider, which was the ability of agility beyond ordinary people.

The basic attributes of ordinary people are between 5~7, and a very small number of people can reach 8~10 through training, and the world champions on the earth are in this level range.

In the original IsolatedSystem (external law program), all new players are hero templates, although the initial primary and secondary attributes are determined by rolling the dice, but the minimum is 8 points, and the highest is 12 points, compared to that time, Chim's initial attributes of strength (6) agility (5) physique (5) are simply miserable.

But the perception, will, and spirit are terrifying, and Sim can only think of the cause of the crossing, if it weren't for the upcoming Demon Disaster and Ragnarok (the second expansion), he would have wanted to change careers and become a wizard or something.

Sim reluctantly improved his main attributes to the level close to the limit of ordinary people through knight training and some small means, and there was no way to do it anymore, there was a gap between level 10 and level 11, and he would have to go through at least 3 years of tempering to break through with training alone, and he didn't have any more time to spend on training.

In a world that is almost identical to the game, a storm is brewing in the South, and in another year, the reformed Black Mandala will slowly extend its vines in all directions, and although it seems to be just a routine harassment war as before, Chim knows that this is a war that will turn the current pattern of nations upside down, and the beginning of turmoil on the entire continent.

And because of this war, the long-stagnant Mullens Continent will make great strides with a large amount of resource consumption and ground blood, and in the later stage of the war, not to mention a little knight of level 10, even a legendary existence of level 50 will not dare to say that he will be able to live.

And this is the game's first expansion, "A Chapter of Life and Death".

Chim shook his head and pulled back the thoughts that had drifted into his memory, there was still a year before the First Black Mandala War, and he had to speed up his pace, and the knight certification task that Wei Sida arranged for himself through the relationship was a good opportunity, Chim smiled slightly, and really had to thank him, not only to give himself a knight graduation qualification, but also to arrange for himself to level up a dungeon.

"Is the bottom of the Black River Valley ......?"

As if he remembered something interesting, a shallow smile always hung on his face, and he stepped on the shortest branch from the outer wall, which was usually not more than the weight of the feather-tailed finch, and shook it lightly, as if to express his dissatisfaction.

In fact, although the exterior wall of the Central Knight Academy is a problem for ordinary people, it is not a problem for these students who have greatly improved their physical abilities after receiving knight training.

The difficulty was how to avoid the patrolling guards and the large number of vigilant circles, and Chim still remembers a post on the forums from a guy who had the good fortune to enter the Central Knight Academy at the beginning of the open beta, asking a thief to take him out of the school for 5 Fell coins.

In the original game, there are many ways to find a job in each class, in terms of the employment knight in the Inruta area, you can also go to any knight station to complete 3 monster removal missions, or ask an official knight to vouch for you, and then pass a challenge mission.

And through the Inruta Central Knight Academy is the best of them, through knight training, you can improve the basic attributes and basic skills, and then complete the knight certification task to graduate, once you graduate, you will automatically get the knight's noble status, and the set of transfer rewards is also the best melee professional attribute in level 10.

However, the admission requirements of the Central Knight Academy are difficult for ordinary players, and Sim was admitted by chance, and as a transfer student, he also robbed other people's graduate qualifications, and of course Weistar will hold a grudge.

Although Sim was a guerrilla knight at the beginning, he later spent time in the Knights of the North Wind, almost every day to run to the Central Knight Academy, whoever let the prestige task transfer here, he could go out with his eyes closed, and he couldn't be more familiar, and the patrol guard, the strange - or professional, he had seen much more in the dungeons of St. Riel, the elven capital, and the Golden Harbor of Fortelma.

As for the vigilance circle, Chim took out a water bladder from his arms, opened the lid, and poured out the contents of it, exuding a faint fragrance of thick white liquid slowly covering the circular pattern, Chim twitched his nose, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, because the milk that Ruta supplied to the knights was really good, and it was simply incomparable to that on earth.

And the magic circle that emitted a faint red light gradually extinguished, Sim shook the water bladder, about half of it, he thought about it, poured all the rest of the milk into his mouth, smashed it, smashed the taste, and put away the water bladder with satisfaction.

Farnan's Universal Type 3 Alert Circle, which was the most widespread and popular before the war began, was the most popular - until a scout from the Monas Mountains discovered that a farmer often used this method to smuggle into enemy countries to sell his milk.

Of course, only the farmer and Sim in the world now know how to do this.

Sim gently propped up, turned over and jumped over the outer wall, the open little vest was lifted by the wind, revealing the white shirt inside, and then scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that no one was there, he took out the short sword in his arms and hung it on his waist, turned the boots up and down, and then rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and the whole person was like a security team member wandering around.

In the afternoon, Inruta, though not less lively, was still clothed in a layer of weariness, and Sim turned into an alley, where the homeless man at the entrance of the alley glanced at him, and lowered his eyelids from the short sword at his waist to the boots turned out.

He has seen a lot of this kind of people, either young and vigorous adventurers or high-spirited security guards, who are not able to get money anyway, and may be beaten up for angering them.

Sim hurried into the alley, and the homeless man lowered his broken hat and shrank back into the shadows.

It was not long before he saw the young man come out in a hurry again, and stand in front of him—casting a shadow, and the homeless man had a flattering smile on his face

"What's the matter with you, sir?"

At the same time, he secretly wondered in his heart what this well-dressed guy wanted to do, snatching the poor copper coins on his body like Ham in Lao Cai, this was impossible, it was a bad mood, and he was going to vent his anger on himself?

Thinking of this, the homeless man couldn't help but shrink his body a little more, and the bruise he had been beaten when he accidentally touched a knight's apprentice four days ago was faintly painful.

"Do you know where the kids in this alley are?"

Sim tried his best to make his tone look less anxious, and asked the homeless man in front of him gently

"Huh?"

The homeless man was stunned for a moment when he was not beaten as he had imagined, and then he was horrified by the honorific title given to him, and he thought that it must be the teasing of the young man, just like the knight's apprentice four days before, who beat himself with laughter after he had finished his play.

"Think about it, it's a group of eleven or twelve children, the youngest is four or five years old, and the older is twelve or thirteen years old.........

Sim tried his best to describe to the homeless man, this is not a chaotic place like the old street, although it is very remote but after all, it is a residential area, and it is not far from the Central Knight Academy, no one dares to make a big fuss here, he thinks that the group of children moved by themselves.

"Kid......" The homeless man thought for a moment, then replied to Sim with the only words in his stomach, "You mean the little rogue with a few imps...... Babur? ”

The homeless man carefully observed Chim's expression, and when he saw that his face was happy, he hurriedly continued

"Babur moved out a week ago, and first he brought back a little girl! yes, and in that kind of pastor's robe, but I don't recognize what church it was, and then the next day he moved out with the group of kids. ”

At the end, the homeless man added a sentence

"That's all I know, my lord."

"Pastor of the church? What kind of emblem? ”

Sim was a lot more relieved, because Ruta, as the capital of Romanand, the country of knights, was very strict in the search of the churches of the evil camp, coupled with the firm knightly faith and the will to be tempered by the demon ** at the border of civilization, it was very difficult to spread the faith of the gods here, not to mention walking on the street in a priest's robe, at least a priest who was a god of order.

"Hmm... Yes, it's a vase with water sprayed on it, and a lot of flowers growing underneath. ”

The homeless man struggled to remember

"Vase...... Flower? ”

Chim groaned for a moment, then asked

"Is that girl wearing a plain white robe with lines embroidered with various patterns on a blue background?"

"It seems that yes, yes, yes, you are amazing."

The homeless man looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, and at once he guessed the details that he had forgotten, and in his eyes the patterns on the sides of the priests' robes were the same, and the priests of the goddess of wealth and the priests of the gods of light could distinguish between them, for they often gave out alms.

Is it a god of springs and flowers under the line of the gods of farming and hunting? Chim recalled the contact he had with him in the game, remembering that he was supposed to be a kind goddess with weak divine powers, and even if Babur committed a mistake, there should not be too harsh punishment.

"Thank you for your help, I'll pay you for this money."

Although it should not be unexpected, Chim still couldn't let go, took out a few Mirro copper coins from his waist bag and threw them to the homeless man, and quickly moved to the temple of the god of springs and flowers according to the map of memory.

"Ah...... Thank you, my lord. ”

The homeless man had a complicated expression on his face with the copper coins in his hand, and he did not immediately take the money to the tailor's shop under the pretext to change into a rough but neat new dress, nor did he go to the tavern to enjoy a glass of inferior ale, as he had done before.

Instead, he took the copper coin and wiped it vigorously on his shabby clothes, and carefully put it into his bosom, as if he had put away something that had been lost, and he remembered that a merchant had asked him to unload the goods, and he planned to try his luck on Reddens Street to see if he could find a job to do.

"Thank you."

He stood up and bowed deeply in the direction the young man had left.

....................................

Although the inhabitants of Inruta do not attach great importance to faith, they still have a lot of respect for these gods who dwell in the void of Vientiane, and there are special shrine areas in the city, and of course, some powerful gods will build their temples in more visible locations.

Isi, the god of springs and flowers, as a weak deity with weak divine power, is not only incomparable to the temple and the goddess of wealth and the magnificent temples of the god of war, but even the location is in a very remote corner.

However, Chim still honestly placed the dagger on the weapon storage table in front of the temple, not only because of the respect that an unfallen true god should have, but also because of Chim's personal affection for him. If he remembered correctly, when the gods first appeared, only Lamel, the goddess of farming and hunting, responded to the prayers of her followers by expusing her divine power, and of course most of the gods under her lineage.

This also led to the fact that although she was a powerful god, she was killed by the doppelgangers of Muraker, the prince of the abyss, and Terrence, the god of fear.

Sim sighed and walked into the main hall, although the area occupied by the god of spring water and flowers was not large in the temple, but it was very wide compared to other buildings, the floor emitted a faint fluorescent blue light, and the part near the inner wall was dressed in a light veil, and a stone sculpture in a water bottle in front of him slowly gushed spring water, covering him with a layer of light mist.

Chim was just about to go inside to find the priest when he saw a young girl with brown hair in a shawl and a plain white robe embroidered with various patterns on a blue background, and came out of the inner sanctum

"Big Brother Shim!"

Then his fat face changed, and he shouted anxiously

"Brother Shim, go and save Babur!"
