In fact, we can roughly deduce the outline of the story that happened one hundred and forty years ago: one hundred and forty years ago, when the war between the major races was in full swing, because of an accident, the major races encountered an unknown creature.

This creature does not belong to any known species on the continent, but it is very powerful and ......

They don't just act on instinct like ordinary monsters, their actions are clearly based on guidelines, as if they are acting on orders.

It's like an army.

They are obviously the same existence as the other races in the Azure Continent!

One hundred and forty years ago, the major races encountered a demon that resembled an advance army—and the information about demons circulating on the continent today probably came from that time.

The scale of these demons must not be large, so most of the people who have experienced this are still a minority......

But this group of small demons must have brought great trouble to several major races! It was so big that although they finally eliminated this group of demons, the strength of the opponent still forced the major races to dare not easily provoke disputes!

The reason why there was a sudden peace between the major races was not because of anything else, but because this sudden appearance of the race brought them a great threat! ”

Xu Ke listened without saying a word, thinking together with Lei Ruoya's thoughts, and nodded in agreement from time to time.

Seeing that the other party should be able to keep up with his train of thought, Lei Ruoya continued: "So now let's go back to the question - why did the other races choose to conceal the enemy's information in the face of such an enemy, instead of making their information completely public?

Several major races didn't know where these demons came from, and they inexplicably broke into the Azure Continent...... So naturally, they don't know when the next batch of demons will come!

This is no ordinary enemy, this is an invader from an unknown land!

Let's imagine telling the inhabitants of the continent that the continent you live in is ready to be invaded by a powerful creature......

What will become of this continent?

In the face of an unknown and powerful enemy, feelings of fear and nervousness can easily invade people's hearts, and if they are not handled properly, the entire continent may be thrown into chaos.

They obviously didn't want this, so they chose to hide this information completely, and completely hide the demonic invasion from the people!

Although it can also try to exaggerate the weakness of the enemy and boost morale...... But in the face of such an enemy who simply does not know where they came from and when they will return, the act of blocking information from the people is obviously more effective than such an approach.

But it is always right to plan ahead, and the major races have chosen to tolerate their hatred and unite with each other, each beginning to amass troops.

I don't know if you noticed, Mr. Xu Ke...... They also did one more thing, do you know what this thing is? ”

Xu Ke thought about the many unreasonable points in this game, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Implement the law?" ”

"Yes," Lei Ruoya nodded, "they have jointly enacted extremely strict laws across the continent - especially in matters where human life can occur. ”

In fact, everyone should have noticed this at the beginning - because as a game set in the context of medieval magic, there is a setting of a legal background...... This setting really seems incongruous here.

It's even easy to feel funny in people's minds.

In such a high military plane, but you can't be happy to kill people when you meet people, what is the difference between this kind of game and salted fish?

As the protagonist, shouldn't I draw a knife at the same time when I don't agree with each other, and cut off those who insult me and scold me, cut those who don't go my way, and cut everyone who wants to!?

If I can't, then what's the point of me being invincible and lonely in the game!?

How can there be such a spicy chicken game in this world!?

I think most adventurers think this way, in fact, I am ashamed to say that I also had this idea in the earliest days.

But later, as my understanding of the game deepened, I slowly found out

In fact, even this seemingly most comical setting makes sense.

What it wants to express is that the lives of every person on the continent are precious, and they should not be consumed in vain because of some inexplicable trivial things, and perhaps they will become a rare combat force in the future.

Because the next thing you will most likely face is ......

A war against the people of the whole continent. ”

……

The staff member took a letter from Lei Yang's hand with a strange expression.

Lei Yang's body was wet and covered in dirty mud stains, as if he had just crawled out of a swamp pond.

So the letter looked as if it had been crawling around in the mud, the letter was almost soaked, and the outer layer was covered with mud.

The staff glanced at Lei Yang, only to find that he was just smiling sneeringly—the fact that he had mistaken his age seemed to make him a little embarrassed.

The staff opened the letter with a slight frown, revealing that the inside of the letter was as wet as its skin.

After unfolding the letter, he found that the handwriting on the letterhead was indeed exactly the same as that in Lei Ruoya's last letter, and it should have been written by that Miss Lei Ruoya.

Because of the immersion, the handwriting on the letter paper is extremely blurred, and even many places are basically unclear, and the content can only be inferred by the semantics of the context.

This kind of reading experience is naturally very poor.

But it is also strange to say that the staff members who have always frowned slowly relaxed their brows as they read the letter, and even their faces did not look so gloomy.

But as soon as he read the end of the letter, his brow, which had been furrowed, returned to its original appearance again.

Lei Yang watched the change in the staff's expressions from the side, thinking that this person's expression was really rich.

The staff quickly finished reading the letter and quickly frowned again.

Lei Yang is not good at judging other people's emotions, but he can also see that the staff member's frown this time seems to be a little different from the last frown.

It seems like...... There were a few other emotions.

The staff was obviously silent for a long time before he spoke again, and his voice trembled slightly:

"Is everything in this letter true?"

Lei Yang noticed that when the staff asked him this question, not only the voice, but his entire body was almost trembling, although the shaking amplitude was not large, but Lei Yang still found this.

And what is very strange is that when the staff said this, they were obviously asking Lei Yang for the answer to the question, but there was obviously a trace of unbearability in the eyes that looked at Lei Yang.

It's as if I can't bear to hear my own answers.

Lei Yang felt a little strange in his heart, but after a while, he felt that it was really difficult for him to figure out this matter.

He remembered what his sister had told him before, so he replied to the other party's question seriously: "The content of the letter is naturally true. ”

When the staff heard this, their whole bodies trembled even more.

His right hand, in particular, which took the letter, trembled violently, not so much as trembling. It's just convulsions.

The thin, almost torn piece of letterhead, in the hands of the staff members, seemed to be pressing his body so hard that he trembled.

Seeing this, Lei Yang thought that he had said something wrong, so he also frowned and thought about it, and remembered a few words of his sister's advice, so he added: "Ruoya, she told me before she left, that no matter how you ask, I must emphasize that the content of the letter is true, because it is impossible for her to joke about such a thing." ”

Judging from the change in the expression of the staff, he seemed to be entangled for a long time after hearing Lei Yang's words.

But he didn't say anything in the end, just slowly placed the letter on the stack of papers on the table, his hands still shaking, so it took him a lot of effort to complete this simple action.

After doing this, he didn't seem to want to mention it again, reached for the teacup on the table, and asked Lei Yang an obviously unrelated question: "Did you mention that Miss Lei Ruoya told you before leaving...... So Miss Leroya left Belia? ”

"Uh-huh, yes." Lei Yang nodded, "It is precisely because Ruoya has not been in Belia City during this time, and she has extremely important news to pass on to you, so she will let me enter the barracks to deliver a letter to you." ”

When the staff heard this, they suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The young man in front of him looked like he had just crawled out of the mud pond, obviously he had encountered some accident on the way to his camp, but after learning his identity, he only cared about his intentions and did not care about him at all.

And not only that, when he was talking to the lord of the city before, he also called him a fool and a waste many times, this young man braved the heavy rain to deliver such an important message to himself, and he should have encountered some accidents on the way, but he could only be treated like this-the staff felt really ashamed when they thought of this, so they asked the other party, "How did you become like this?" Did you encounter any accidents on the way here? ”

"Yes, yes," Lei Yang replied quickly, revealing a palpitating expression when answering, "I met a very strange person in the barracks just now, that person started at me without saying a word, if Ruoya hadn't told me to take precautions when entering the barracks, maybe I would have been killed by that guy on the spot!" ”

"Someone is doing it to you in the barracks!?" The first reaction of the staff after hearing this statement was that they felt very incredible, but after thinking about it, they felt that the other party had no reason to deceive themselves in such a thing, so they turned to Lei Yang and asked, "What does the person who shot at you look like?" ”

"Hmm" Memorizing people's appearance has never been Lei Yang's strong point, so he pondered for a while before he said with some uncertainty, "I can't remember the specific appearance, but I vaguely remember that it was a very tall and strong man." ”.

After hearing this, the staff member's right hand, which was originally stretched out to the teacup, suddenly shook and knocked over the teacup.

The already cold tea spilled out all at once, soaking the stack of papers on the table, as well as the letter paper on the documents.

The greenish tea quickly soaked into the paper after leaving the cup, faded its color, and disappeared without a trace. The tea did not wash away the mud on the letterhead, but made it look like a yellowish mud stain, making the whole letter even more dirty.

The tea soaked a large stack of documents, many of which were very important, and if you look at the behavior of the staff on weekdays, you should frown and have a dark face at this time, not to mention the thunderstorm.

But the staff seemed to have lost their souls, just staring at the overturned teacup in distraction, watching the tea in the teacup pour out little by little and soak the documents thoroughly, without the slightest intention of moving.

It wasn't until a gust of wind blew the curtain of the tent that he shuddered and uttered an inexplicable sentence: "On this day"

"It's cold, too."

"Huh? What do you mean, Staff? Lei Yang didn't understand why the staff suddenly said such a sentence.

"Nothing." The staff shook his head, and subconsciously reached out and picked up the teacup, pouring it into his mouth.

Only then the teacup was empty.

The staff who hadn't poured out a drop of tea for a long time glanced at the teacup in his hand in a daze, then turned around, stared at Lei Yang in front of him and said seriously:

"Just do as Miss Lei Ruoya says."

The rain outside the tent was still pouring down, and the sound of the rain did not get louder, but the temperature seemed to be a few degrees lower.

The sky was getting darker and darker, as if it had been splashed with a thick layer of ink.
