Green didn't quite believe Mitchell's words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Green confirmed through spells that Mitchell was not lying, that doesn't mean that what she knows is really the truth! What if she was deceived too?

However, even if Mitchell really lied, the part of the lie that can be verified is probably true - for example, after Green kills the player, the player cannot be resurrected, which is likely to be true, because this one Green can be verified, but the rest of the story is probably difficult to distinguish between true and false.

For Green, it was undoubtedly lucky to meet Mitchell. Regardless of the truth or falsity of what Mitchell said, this information can still save Green a lot of wrongdoing, which saves a lot of time and energy.

Not only that, but Green also learned a lot about the Aboriginal people's understanding of the player from Mitchell's mouth.

Player's Birth = God-made creature created by a god.

Memories and personalities possessed by the player = external contamination during the birth process.

Players are limited by the system = a rule set by the creator for divine creatures.

……

In the prayer room, under the watchful eye of Mother Earth, Mitchell perfectly explains the player's existence from the perspective of the aborigines, using some phenomena that exist in the world of Io.

What makes Green feel quite stressed is that Mitchell's explanations hold true even in the game. In other words, even if the "time locusts" in Mitchell's mouth are really "players", and it is the earthlings who invade the Io world through "games", Mitchell's theory can still be established.

So the question is: are those players a group of heroic spirits with the memories of earthlings? Or a group of earthlings manipulated by "plane invaders"?

While Green personally leans toward the former, the possibility of the latter doesn't seem entirely zero.

After the alliance between the two parties, Mitchell began to explain to Green various precautions in this world, and told Green how to use the "Heart Barrier".

"Time Locusts, as creatures, are not perfect, they are a kind of existence between 'false' and 'real', so they are easily influenced by the mind. As 'real' beings, as long as we hate them, reject them from the bottom of our hearts, and are unwilling to approach them, they will not be able to come close to us...... I call this power the 'Wall of the Heart'. ”

According to Mitchell, if the natives dislike the player (the player's opinion is too low), they will create a "wall of hearts" that prevents the player from approaching. However, after listening to it, Green felt that this thing was obviously the "prestige system" in the player's mouth!

In the game, players can't "trespass" into other people's private domains, so it's not okay to run into someone's house and rummage through the cabinets like in RPGs. Not only that, but if an NPC's opinion of the player becomes disgusting, the player will not be able to communicate with that NPC at all, or even get close to that NPC; If prestige in a certain city turns into disgust, the entire city will be denied entry!

In the game, this is part of the reputation system, and it is a very common setting, which is found in many games, and the player has never cared about this setting, let alone the "principle" of it.

But in this real world, no matter what it is, "existence is reasonable".

Mitchell: "With the Wall of Hearts, we are invincible against the Time Locusts!" But this wall of the heart is not without flaws. If we want to kill those Time Locusts (players), then there will be a hole in the Heart Wall, and not only will we be able to approach them and attack them, but they will be able to attack us at the same time! ”

To put it simply: if the reputation of the aborigines is cold or even disgusting, then the player cannot get close to the aborigines, nor can they threaten/harm the aborigines. But if the reputation of the natives becomes "hostile", they will be able to launch normal attacks.

As Mitchell explains the "prestige system", Green can't help but think about the game in his previous life. The more I listened, the more I felt that the situations Mitchell was talking about were very similar to the settings in the game - just with a different name, but in the same way.

"I see...... The Wall of the Heart? We can only attack on our own initiative, so we do have an advantage. Green touched his chin, "But where did you get this information?" ”

"It was the Mother Goddess who told me." Mitchell bowed to the idol, "Although the mother goddess cannot directly interfere with the kingdom of another ancient god, as the mother of all things, it is still easy to see through the essence of a group of 'bugs'. ”

Green's eyes lit up: "In other words, other gods can only observe this world, but they can't directly interfere with this world?" ”

"Yes."

And even if you observe, you need to use the eyes of the believer? Those gods who don't have believers here can't observe the world, right? ”

Mitchell hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"That's right...... Then the situation is basically clear. So what do I do next? What do I need to do? ”

"I don't know what to do." Mitchell said pitifully, "There are so many players that it's hard for me to make a difference." And there are also believers in the God of Conspiracy and the Lady of the Sea who are secretly targeting me. ”

"The God of Conspiracy and the Lady of the Sea?" Green frowned slightly.

The world of Io is a world with true gods, and the relationship between the gods has a great influence on the faction! The relationship between the Mother Earth Church and the Lady of the Sea and the Church of the God of Conspiracy is very bad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies.

"How many people are there in total? How many of them are our enemies? How many people are neutral? How many more allies do we have? Green asked.

"Theoretically, there should be twenty-four time fans, which correspond to exactly twenty-four hours of the day. However, there are only ten known fans of time, and you are eleven. Among them, there are five enemies, an assassin of the god of conspiracy, three followers of the Lady of the Sea, and a demon warlock, and allies...... Originally, I had a druid friend, a warrior who guarded the gods, an ordinary farmer who believed in the god of light, and a ferocious eagle...... The giant eagle also became a fan of time due to an accident, and was later tamed by the druids. ”

"Hmm...... 5V5, plus my words are 6V5, Giant Eagle and Farmers can also become a good combat force. So where are they all now? When will we be introduced? ”

“…… We were ambushed, and the Eagle fled with the druid, and now our fate is unknown. ”

Green couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Uh...... Wait, you're saying our teammates are all dead!? We're just two of us? ”

"Yes." Mitchell nodded bitterly, "There are demons from those evil people outside the temple, so much so that I don't dare to leave the temple at all now. So even if a new Mystery of Time enters, I have no way of knowing. ”

“…… Who is left of the enemy? Wouldn't all be dead? ”

"If they hadn't had infighting. Should...... That's right. ”

Greene: "...... Can you tell me more about what happened to you? ”

"Those people are so despicable!" Mitchell slowly explained the battle to Green.

To put it simply, when Mitchell and the others were about to take the farmer to the temple of the God of Light for a "transfer", they fell into the enemy's trap and were wiped out! The farmer who has not yet changed jobs kneels in seconds, the druid is seriously injured, and the ferocious eagle, as the druid's "animal companion", forcibly leads the druid to break through, leaving Mitchell and a defense 2v5...... This obviously can't be fought!

Then the defense war sacrificed in order to cover Mitchell, but he also succeeded in allowing Mitchell to escape back into the city and hide in the shelter of the temple.

As long as people in their right minds would not easily go to the temple and attack a "high priest" who is highly valued by the gods! It was not much different from the front of the god's anus - although it lasted for a short time, the high priest's body was able to withstand the "divine descent".

Mitchell is undoubtedly safe hiding in the temple, but if Mitchell dares to walk out of the temple, it is estimated that he will be dead in the streets in a few minutes!

Green bet! The outside of the temple is presumably full of enemy eyeliners.

Green squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "Compared to the player...... Compared to the Time Locust, the other Fans of Time are more threatening! After all, the Locusts of Time are only hindering the birth of a new Time Guardian, but they do not threaten us. So...... Maybe we can use the power of the Time Locusts to kill those Momentists! ”

"With the power of the Time Locust?" Mitchell hesitated for a moment, "But if you do that, it will make a hole in your heart." ”

"A flaw in the heart?"

If you use the power of the player, you will naturally communicate with the player. If there is communication, there will be a relationship between distant and close relatives, and it is even possible to have a good impression of the player. But unless the friendship level reaches the level of "intimacy", you can't directly touch the NPC without permission!

Green touched his chin and used the player's way of thinking to analyze the situation in front of him.

"Nope. No problem! Believe me. Green said to Mitchell, "I'll tell you what to do." You stay in the temple for the rest of the day, don't go out, and if you need help, pay a certain price and ask those time locusts for help. ”

"The price? But I don't have any money. A hint of embarrassment appeared on Mitchell's face.

The corners of Green's mouth turned up slightly.

"You know the points system of the Adventure Guild, right?"

"Yes." Mitchell nodded obediently.

"Let's make a reputation table in that way, and you calculate the reputation of those time locusts according to the table, and give them the corresponding treatment and reward according to the reputation value. Trust me, hiring those guys is a pretty good deal! Grin paused, "But you must be careful not to trust players when communicating with them, and to maintain a certain indifference and distance from them." If something feels wrong, let me know right away! ”

Mitchell hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the idol, as if communicating with something.

After a while, Mitchell turned her head, "Okay, Senior Green." I listen to you. ”

"Hmm~ So...... Do you have pen and paper here? Give it to me. That's all I have now. Green pointed to his pants and smiled wryly.

"I'm sorry, Senpai. Although I was able to use the power of the temple, in reality the temple was a completely empty shell, not to mention paper, not even food. ”

Hearing Mitchell's words, Green was stunned! But soon, Green reacted.

"I see...... So let's make this the first task. Now, you go to the front hall of the temple. If there is a ...... Well, we're going to have to give them a new name, and we can't just call them 'Time Locusts' all the time." Green thought for a moment, "Well, from now on we'll call ourselves 'Time Keepers', call those 'Time Locusts' 'Time Fans', and call the hostile 'Time Fans' 'Time Eaters', understand?" ”

"Time Keeper?" Mitchell pointed at herself with a confused face, "But we're not Time Keepers yet!" ”

"It's just a way of saying it." Green pointed at Mitchell, "You will call yourself the 'Night Guardian of the Night' in 'Time Keepers', and 'Night Moon' is your name." I call myself Mona, the Keeper of the Day, among the Time Keepers, and 'Mona' is my name. Got it? ”

Mitchell's face was full of confusion: "...... Really, really, do you really want to do this? ”

"Of course! Choosing a pseudonym also helps us to keep our distance from the player and avoid getting too close. Greene paused, "It's very necessary!" ”

Hearing Green's words, Mitchell finally nodded: "I...... I understand. ”

"Now, then, you go to the front hall. If a player comes to you and says you need help now, ask him to buy you some paper, pens, and ink. If he wants to, he will gain your friendship. Well...... Friendship is worth 1 friendship point. ”

"1 friendliness?" Mitchell blinked.

"That's right!" Green nodded vigorously, "1 point of friendship can find you to cast a 1-ring magic spell, of course, you need to pay!" The amount of the fee is doubled according to the normal standard of the temple! ”

Mitchell's expression was very strange: "This ...... Is this possible? It's just that it's not paid, and the cost is tripled? ”

"Don't worry, your magic is worth that price. After all, those players don't provide you with real gold coins, but projection gold coins that are unique to this world and can only be used by the fans of time, and that kind of gold is worth depreciating quickly. ”

As a former player, Green certainly knows what players want. Gold is not a problem at all! For players, players with a little bit of a normal brain know that friendliness is worth a lot more than gold - usually, players burn money for friendship.

Friendliness is worth more than gold!
