Chapter 9: Missed NPCs

From the end of the Sixth Eta War before the launch of the game to the "Dust Rebellion" that completely shook the Harriman royal family, in the first two versions of the kingdom, there was a group of NPCs in various realms of the kingdom - they may have different origins and identities, but for the player, they play exactly the same function in the game.

Teach basic combat skills - for example, the veteran Gao Sen, who appeared in the Northland, is a veteran warrior who has experienced the suppression of noble rebellions in the South, the undead invasion, and the Sixth Eta War, and he is well versed in the use of various melee and ranged weapons, and at this stage of his basic inauguration, he knows everything except the mage and the priest.

NPCs like him don't stand in one place at a fixed time, and at every once in a while, he will come to one of the newbie villages where players first enter the world of Ellandia - and for a hefty tuition, players can learn basic combat skills from him. In general, since players who have just completed the novice quest do not have a few Raels on them, they will ignore these guys until later, after saving enough money, and then find the location of these NPCs from the messages that players exchange with each other, and complete the basic combat skills.

The Rael's cost is necessary and worth it - basic combat skills are hard to explain in a succinct sentence, but in the game, they do the obvious thing: improve the detection of attacks, blocks, and dodges. In other words, once players have mastered these contents, they will be able to hit the enemy more easily, and they will be able to resist and dodge the enemy's attacks more effectively. This is something that almost every player has to learn!

However, the bandit leader and his teammates missed it - in the late autumn of 553, still before the game was launched, Glo did not relate to the game of Discord at all, and his teammates: three noble knights from the royal capital Elva, they did not know the veteran Gao Sen: Miss Lena Barros, as a nobleman, had little opportunity to contact these low-class commoners; Radia didn't know where it came from; Priest Winnie stayed in the church for a long time...... Everyone doesn't know the veteran Gao Sen, which is understandable, but Glo?

He had almost no impression of the old village chief's face, although he had learned basic combat skills at the beginning of the game in his previous life, but the NPC he knew was still staying in the southern border of the kingdom at the moment - in "Discord", because of the random principle of geographical distribution, his character's birthplace was a small town in the southern suburbs, and the small village where the current veteran Gao Sen appeared, was at least a thousand kilometers away.

But in the first two versions, the main plot of the game's history is related to the Northland, and Nogo is an important place where the main story and many side events occur, in order to better grow and develop the characters, many players in the Elantra camp rushed to Nogo from various territories of the kingdom early, and some people have not had time to learn basic combat skills, so they had to find the veteran Gao Sen nearby - this is why the veteran Gao Sen is relatively famous among this kind of NPCs.

But now, Glo, who came to the world before the game was opened, although the combat career level was about to leave the category of novices, he had not learned basic combat skills, and his combat awareness and experience came from his previous life, and he was about to forget the existence of this matter - if he knew that the village chief with his old face wrinkled into chrysanthemums was the veteran Gao Sen, maybe he would willingly take out a large amount of Rael.

The adventurous party exploring the ruins of the "Elegy of Angus" left the small village. The mountains in the mist behind them gradually became vast with their footsteps, and stepping on the ridges of the fields covered with soft earth, the group soon came to a wild traffic artery—in the early morning, the sun was shining through the late autumn mist, and in the distance they could see farmers walking on the roadside and some groups of traveling merchants.

Glo leaned in, and he found a middle-aged merchant with two slender black beards—the merchant at the back of the group, with a reserved, preoccupied expression that looked like a marginalized figure in a small group.

"Sir, do you know where this road leads?"

Glo asked, dressed in light armor and wearing a wide gray cloth cloak on top of it, like a wandering mercenary who had lost his way. He used polite honorifics and had a smile on his face.

However, the middle-aged man seemed to be intoxicated by the scenery of the mountains and forests around him, and his stomach fell on the back of the crowd, which made him a little absent-minded. He was startled by the sudden emergence of a tall figure from the side of the road, and he saw that the other man was still armed - what Glo had asked him had not heard at all.

"Thief...... Bandits!"

The middle-aged man's first reaction was to exclaim - although these small merchants who traveled were not as wealthy as the regular chambers of commerce, they could hire some professional guards. But they still value the safety of the way. As the middle-aged man shouted, a group of merchants who were about twenty paces ahead turned to look, and among them, two powerful men rushed in front of Glo almost instantly.

Is a bandit leader a bandit?

Glo wanted to be honest about who he was, but he knew that sometimes telling the truth wouldn't necessarily do any good, but would get him in trouble. Behind him, six of his teammates leaned forward, and for a moment they seemed to be outnumbered—but Alyssa and Miss Lena Barros had changed their battle attire in the style of aristocratic daughters at the moment, and the two mercenaries were stunned when they saw the two of them.

"Sir, maybe there was a misunderstanding between us."

Lars took a step and stroked his chest and saluted, without the arrogance of ordinary nobles facing commoners, but his elegant demeanor and extraordinary demeanor fell in the eyes of the two mercenaries, but let the other party see some special status - orthodox, well-educated nobleman, not the rude and arrogant "dogskin hat" in the countryside, and, judging from the other party's posture, he was still a good incumbent.

plus the two ladies next to her who have obvious physiological characteristics of their bloodline...... No, the three, the four, Ladya and the priest Winnie were also seen by them, and Miss Mage and Winnie also changed into their usual clothes this morning...... Four aristocratic ladies! Plus three men, what kind of lineup is this? The two mercenaries suddenly felt a little confused in their minds.
