Chapter 6: I'm Sitting Up!

The plants on the table emitted a silvery glow, illuminating half of the room and also illuminating Lei Ruoya's pale little face.

A large stack of books was neatly stacked next to Lei Ruoya's right hand, and she was holding a thick book of the general history of the mainland to study carefully. The girl's face was unconcealably tired, but her expression was unusually focused.

The half-elf Nanshui had already gone back to the room early to rest, and only the two siblings Lei Yang and Lei Ruoya were left in the outer room. My sister read a book in the middle of the night, and my brother watched my sister read a book in the middle of the night. During this period, Lei Yang remained motionless, staring blankly at his sister's beautiful but haggard face, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After reading a book, my sister closed the book heavily, then closed her eyes and gently rubbed her temples.

"Indeed, as Nanshui said, this continent is very peaceful, and the last war was seventy-eight years ago."

The younger sister didn't open her eyes, her brows furrowed: "But this is simply unreasonable, how can several races with completely different natures live together peacefully for so long?" “

Historically, this continent has not always been like this - when humanity established its empire more than a hundred years ago, it was still at a time of great expansion, and it was true that humanity continued to expand its territory outward in the following decades until it occupied two-thirds of the continent.

The rest of history is where Lei Ruoya finds the most strange - because according to the history books, after the human empire occupied most of the territory of the continent, the national power was at its peak.

At that time, he was reigning as a wise monarch, and the army was full of capable people, and the army was brave and good at fighting, and even after several major battles, it still maintained a size far beyond all other races.

It can be said that this era can be called the golden age of mankind! It stands to reason that at this time, humanity can continue to expand externally, because of the remaining one-third of the continent, there is still most of the land that is worth occupying.

But His Majesty, the wise and martial emperor in history, chose to stop the war.

This choice really made Lei Ruoya puzzled...... That's it?

In the infinite benefit of humanity, other races have weakened to the point of unprecedented in history...... That's all it takes?

Why not choose to continue to expand when you have such a strong power?

If His Majesty the Emperor yearns for peace, then why did he lay down the vast territory ahead?

It doesn't make sense.

And what's even more strange is that later, the human national strength weakened, and the other races that occupied the territory did not have the slightest intention of fighting back!

Elven goblins...... But the legendary irascible dwarves and brutal and warlike orcs have no idea of going to war with humans!

In other words, from the point in time when the human empire expanded to two-thirds of the continent, there was only one conflict of great scale in the continent in nearly a hundred years - yes, judging from the history books, the battle between the goblins and the dwarves was not even a war, at most a large-scale conflict.

Lei Ruoya opened her eyes, and her beautiful eyes danced with a thoughtful look.

What is even more incredible is that the laws of this world, especially the criminal law, are very sound!

It is so sound that it can even be said that it cannot even be compared with the outside world before the unification of the world!

Fights of any kind are not allowed in the city here, and if they are discovered by the city's patrols, they will be sent to the city lord's palace for trial. Even if they are not found on the spot, as long as they are reported by passers-by or victims, the patrol will dig deep into the ground to find out the brawler!

And the most outrageous thing is: in this magical world...... It is a crime to kill someone!

When she saw this, Lei Ruoya's eyes almost popped out!

She was shocked, because even in her imagination, murder and robbery on this continent should be a matter of routine.

But it is illegal to kill here, and intentional homicide is even punishable by death! It is true that if the road encounters murder and exposes the corpse in the wilderness, it will still cause some unsolved cases, but even if this kind of case is discovered and reported, no matter what race it is, the case handlers will not hesitate to know that the great magician uses the "time rewind" magic to find out the case!

Moreover, the law enforcement agencies on the mainland are extremely efficient in solving cases, according to a book dedicated to recording adventurers similar to wild history: A few years ago, there was an adventurer who killed people in the city with extremely clever methods, and even arranged a trick like murder in a secret room, and after receiving the report, the city lord's mansion cracked the case in just three days and arrested the adventurer criminal.

"What is the meaning of these settings......" Lei Ruoya felt that her head hurt, and she even began to feel that she was actually still in the real world, but she had the illusion that it was called the Azure Continent.

A sound legal system and peaceful racial relations were only the level of civilization in the Middle Ages...... Growing up in such an environment, it is no wonder that Yi Nanshui, who is defenseless against strangers, can live alone for so long.

Of course, this kind of place is good if it is used as a place for retirement, but the problem is that these adventurers are not here to retire!

"How can there be such a stupid game! Is there any point in becoming strong in such a peaceful environment? No matter how you think about it, it's better to find a stable job and recuperate after a small success like Nanshui! My sister complained.

But after complaining, my sister fell into deep thought.

If that's really what it's supposed to be......

The significance of fighting monsters and leveling is very small.,Although a game without a main line can feel the loneliness of the master when you practice to the full level.,But in the end, you can only feel the loneliness of the master.。 Although leveling can indeed become stronger, if you become stronger, you can't even do it casually with people...... Lei Ruoya felt that it didn't seem to make much sense to become stronger under such preset conditions.

Unless this is a business simulation game, combat professions such as magicians, warriors, and assassins are actually just their secondary classes, and their main professions are actually farmers. The goal is to build the largest and best farm in the world, and then in the process of management, you can unlock various achievements, and after the achievements are brushed, they can be considered as customs clearances...... The more Lei Ruoya thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt.

But the guide also said that everything adventurers do is to become stronger, and the guide should not say such obviously deceptive words to become so strong, what is the purpose of the guide? Is it really simply the pursuit of the pinnacle of force?

Impossible, there can't be a game like this...... There must be something else that I didn't think of.

Lei Ruoya suddenly thought of the story that Nan Shui told him about the adventurer called "Dance of the Blades".

Why was he acquitted of murder?

Here, even killing ordinary people is a felony, and that adventurer killed the city lord!

The key to solving the problem may lie in the adventurer's story......

Lei Ruoya had a faint idea.

She put the finished book aside and was about to pick up the next one, but her brother grabbed her hand.

Surprised, she looked up at her brother beside her. The elder brother whispered to her, "It's late, let's rest first." “

My sister shook her head and said to my brother, "No, this game is much more difficult than I expected, and I still don't have a clue about this game." And I also asked Nanshui, the vocational guild also has to ask for money to learn skills and transfer jobs, but we still don't have any money now, and it is risky to rush into crusade tasks if we don't learn skills and change jobs......"

After listening for a while, the elder brother said slowly: "Ruoya, you have been very smart since you were a child, and you are so confident in everything you do. Actually, I really envy you, and I also want to understand what you say that I don't understand, because many times you say a lot but I can't understand this feeling...... And I hope I can help you. “

The younger sister was stunned for a moment, and the bangs on her forehead suddenly fell to cover her eyes.

The elder brother gently brushed his sister's hair away, looked into her eyes and said, "I know I'm stupid, but trust me this time." When calculating combat power, let's calculate the strongest as you expect. “

"And don't you call yourself a high-end player?" Hearing my brother's last words, my sister's eyes suddenly glowed with a strange look.

She stood up, took her brother's hand, and walked to the window to look at the night sky outside.

It was pitch black outside, there was no moon and there were not a few stars in sight, but the plants on the windowsill were surprisingly bright, and Lei Ruoya's vision was filled with silver brilliance.

Oh, yes...... What are you afraid of?

No matter how difficult this game is and how dark the future is, the most important person is around.

Lei Ruoya's ears rang again, and the words that his brother said to him during the day: "I'm here." “

With my brother, what is there to be afraid of.

On the first night of the Miracle Game, or in the early hours of the next day, Lei Ruoya stood under the stars and said this sentence:

"I want everybody here to understand that there's only one thing they have to do and can do – and that's look up to me as a high-level player."

After Lei Yang heard this somewhat familiar sentence, he said to Lei Ruoya with some embarrassment: "Ruoya, it has been less than half a day since you last said this, but we have become like this...... In your words, this is simply as inauspicious as some flag has been erected. “

"No, it's not the same as before, I'm not afraid to stand up now," Lei Ruoya explained to her brother seriously, "because after understanding the difficulty of the game, I decided to sit up and play this game." “

"But haven't you been sitting since just now?"

"No, I was lying down."

……

After setting up the flag, Lei Ruoya yawned, and a thick sleepiness suddenly surged up, and she felt as if her upper and lower eyelids were fighting. Fortunately, the half-elf's home was very small, and after walking a few steps, Lei Ruoya walked to the bed in the room, and she threw her body the soft bed.

"Brother, come and sleep too...... "My sister called out to her brother with some weakness.

"No, my parents specifically told me that I can't sleep in the same room with you, I'll just lie out for the night." My brother's firm voice came in.

"Why didn't I see you so shy when I hit my chest, I don't care what you care about......" My sister suddenly felt speechless.

"Come on in, I'm short of a warm bed."
