Waking up from the hotel room in a daze, Wutong looked around blankly, the permanent torch inserted in the corner of the table before going offline was swaying quietly, and the sky outside the window was still as black as ink, obviously still stuck in the long night.

The energetic elemental wind bat sat on the floor and joked with the little monkey about the building blocks given to her, and when she saw Sycamore wake up, Sarasi happily got up and ran to the bed, grabbed the bed board and fanned her big eyes and asked, "Are you awake?" Why didn't Xiaoxiao wake up? ”

Wutong turned his head blankly and looked at the side, wrapped in a sheet in his arms, and slept with only snot bubbles, Xiao Lori, who couldn't help but stammer, and suddenly didn't know if he was in reality or in the game, whether he dreamed of reality in the game, or dreamed of the game in reality???

After a while, Wutong remembered that he seemed to have fainted, because his brain capillary wall was weak, in order to prevent the acceleration of blood flow and cerebral hemorrhage, so he could not be too excited, the doctor in order to ensure his life safety, implanted in his body "human self-protection instinct limiter", once his emotions were too excited, when the heartbeat and blood flow rate exceeded the safety line, the "self-protection device" would send a signal to his brain, so that he fainted to achieve the effect of protection.

But after he was hugged by a big-breasted Europaan girl, he fainted in shame, right? How did it get into "Endless" again? Could it be that the girls who broke into the house saw him faint and kindly helped him paste the "subliminal receiver" used to log in to "Endless"?

Xiaoxiao hasn't woken up in "Endless" yet, which means that the gang of girls didn't let Xiaoxiao also go online, which means that his villa has been occupied by that group of girls? What the hell are those girls doing? Nothing will happen with a smile, right?

Wutong was sweating profusely, and subconsciously planned to lie down and go offline again, but suddenly remembered that the coma caused by the self-protection instinct limiter was at least more than two hours, and even if he went offline, he was in a coma at this time.

"Shouldn't there be any problems?"

Wutong was entangled for a while, those girls called him the boss, and he thought it should be a person hired by the housekeeper's uncle, but the strange thing is that the little Lori seems to know the girls, is it the family of the little Lori?

Wutong then found that he seemed to be addicted to the world of "Endless" recently, and he was a little negligent about other things, and the housekeeper uncle seemed to have mentioned it to himself, and he had contacted Lori's family, but he didn't take it to heart, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that the nerves are indeed too thick.

After being in the room for a while, Wutong scratched the back of his head, and decided not to be so stupid, the "Skynet" security system of Bauhinia Manor is very perfect, it is impossible for someone to blatantly do something illegal, besides, in the entire Bauhinia Manor, except for the villa where he lives There are some daily necessities, the other villas are simply empty, no matter how tough those young girls are, it is impossible to demolish the entire villa, right?

Instructed Sarasi and Embarrassment to stay in the hotel room to take care of the little Lori who hadn't woken up yet, Sycamore put on his backpack and put on the super backpack that smiled, planning to go out first to dispose of the loot in the backpack, if the little Lori woke up early before he came back, Sarasi could also easily find him in the town of Aoraon through the spiritual connection with him, the summoner.

As soon as he came out of the hotel room, Wutong found two loyal barrier fighters in the front hall of the hotel restaurant and bar, they were also resting in shifts when Wutong and the others were resting, and when Wutong came out, the two barrier soldiers were slowly drinking barnyard wine in front of the bar of the hotel bar, and when they saw Wutong coming out, they quickly stood up.

Wutong smiled, nodded to them, and sat down at the bar, asking the bartender for a few glasses of wine, and inviting the two barrier warriors to drink, which made the two barrier warriors very flattered, for them low-level warriors, two copper coins and a glass of barnyard wine was already a good leisure enjoyment.

Only when the mission income is good, they will call some 2 silver coins and a small barrel of ale to quench their hunger, Sycamore ordered several glasses of wine with 2 gold coins at once, how can they not hurt for Sycamore's flesh?

Along the way, although Wutong has invested a lot, but the harvest is also a lot, the materials and equipment that are out of the monster, except for the soldiers in the team who can use it themselves, the rest have been taken by the soldiers to him to exchange for medicine, in general, Wutong not only did not lose, but also made a small profit.

But the problem is that he can keep the materials and use them, and the weapons and equipment can only be recouped by finding a place to sell them.

As regular mercenaries, they were much more loyal than the gang of players, and they didn't get any of the low-level equipment and medicines distributed by Sycamore, so in order to compensate them, Indus invited each of them to drink a glass of delicious wine as a reward.

"Sir! Do you need followers? We would like to be your entourage and keep you safe on your adventures in the future! ”

One of the fortress warriors seemed to have made up his mind after exchanging glances with his companions, and suddenly drank half a glass of wine from the crystal glass, and after putting down the wine glass, he suddenly took a step back with his companions, and half-knelt down in front of Wutong, his left hand wearing iron gloves pulled out the weapon with a sheath around his waist and put it on the ground, kneeling on his right knee, his right hand on his left knee, and bowing his head deeply.

Wutong was stunned for a moment, this is a very warrior to show allegiance to the submission of the salute, only when meeting the king or noble lords and nobles, will be a big salute, usually is not easy to use, one knee salute and double knee salute, the meaning of the representation is different, in peacetime, only when captured by the enemy will be used more humiliating surname double knee salute, and one knee salute in peacetime, but also only to express allegiance, oath, worship is used.

Although Wutong also has a noble status, it is only the lowest level of the inferior nobles [Sixth Rank Sir], whether it is a commoner or a warrior, except for head-on dialogue, there is basically no need to salute this class, unlike the high nobles, even if they pass by, the commoners need to retreat to the side of the road to salute.

The reason why he was stunned was that Wutong didn't expect that before he took office, there would be NPC warriors who took the initiative to serve and express their following, because he saw in the book that mages usually have followers because of their professional surnames, plus their identity and wealth, and they are all regarded as followers, but there are many kinds of followers, followers, servants, partners, and subordinates, and these followers have different identities and statuses, which need to be treated differently.

Like the active participation of these four NPC barrier warriors, according to the form, it should be regarded as a casual one, if Wutong accepts them, he will have to bear the other party's food, clothing, housing and transportation and a small amount of expenses, and the other party is responsible for the safety of Wutong.

This is a reciprocal act of exchanging surnames, not a fixed long-term master-slave relationship, once one of them expresses dissatisfaction with the other, this relationship will be dissolved at any time, and many warriors who are more embarrassed will choose to become the entourage of nobles or wealthy mages to obtain the security of life, which is a relatively common way of survival.

From Wutong's point of view, it is actually not cost-effective to recruit Sui Hu now, because it is not cheaper to be in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the four warriors than to hire them temporarily, and with the cultivation and investment in their growth, it will also increase with the improvement of the other party's level, which is a big burden for himself, a little mage who is already eager to rob the Golden Temple.

Once the other party suddenly dissolves this master-slave relationship, all his investments will be wasted, and the choice of followers, of course, is to choose the higher the level and the stronger the strength, the better, because each player's [leadership] is a surname, and the number of subordinates that can be commanded is limited.

Like Sycamore, his [Charisma] surname talent is 18 full value, so he has a 4-point charisma bonus, and the derived 22 points of [Leadership] can command a total of 22 subordinates, which is considered high among players, but it doesn't seem so cost-effective for him to waste 4 positions to accept these four low-level warriors.

Maybe it was Wutong's hesitant expression after being stunned that the four barrier warriors misunderstood something, and the barrier warriors led by him said with some eagerness: "Sir, maybe our strength is still very weak, but our loyalty is trustworthy."

After thinking about it, Wutong laughed: "You misunderstood, I'm just worried about whether I am worthy of your allegiance, and I am also a little doubtful about whether I have the ability to make you allegiance, if you don't mind that I am still just a [trainee mage]"

"To the god of honor and devotion, Du. Hala swears that we will be loyal to and follow the Master before us! The rampart warriors were overjoyed, bowed their heads, grasped their fists with their iron-gloved hands, and hammered heavily on their chests, formally paying allegiance to Sycamore.

Fortunately, Sycamore learned more or less about how to deal with this situation from books, first took out his apprenticeship book, pressed his right hand on the cover and swore to the god of "knowledge and arcane" "Bokabu" that he was willing to treat his allegiants equally and kindly, and then used a special ninth-series general arcane [arcane imprint] to imprint his own special insignia on the chests of the four fortress warriors: a flaming seven-leaf sycamore leaf, and the golden veins faintly floating on the leaf surface formed a big bird dragging ten long tail feathers and spreading its wings and singing!

As the arcane light on the brand gradually dissipated, the looming big bird and the flame-like color disappeared, leaving only a faint seven-leaf sycamore emblem on the breastplate of the fortress warriors, and the two arcane characters on the emblem, which belonged to the occult writing system of the sycamore, theoretically only he knew it, and these two arcane characters were the names of the sycamore.

The names of the four Barrier Warriors made Sycamore be thundered, because the names of the Europa race are usually long and tongue-twisting for players in the Asian and American regions, and in short, they are called: Riorado, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello

If you separate these four names, there is nothing, but when they are connected, it will inevitably remind Wutong of an anime work he watched when he was a child, and their profession as a barrier warrior is somewhat similar to those four anime protagonists.

Well, I have to say, it's a coincidence!

When the [Arcane Seal] takes effect, there is a trace of spiritual connection between the four barrier warriors and the Sycamore, which is similar to the relationship between the elemental wind bat Sarasi and the Sycamore, this connection allows the Sycamore and the four Barrier Warriors to form a very high tacit understanding without using words, and even a thought can make the other party cooperate, the most important thing is that this spiritual connection and tacit understanding will gradually strengthen with the extension of the time between the two sides, which is the special role of [leadership].

The reason why Wutong was willing to accept these four barrier warriors as followers when their level was still low, firstly, was that his current rank and strength, it was impossible for high-level warriors to follow him, and secondly, even animals would be more loyal when they were cultivated since childhood, let alone humans? Cultivating these four Barrier Warriors when their level was still low is far more assured than temporarily recruiting a high-level warrior, as long as Wutong does not abuse them, basically, there will be no defection.

"Hey! Brother Sycamore! You've got to treat us to a nice drink! ”

Wutong looked back, but found that it was the forest ranger fat uncle who would enter the wine and the silent holy warrior Relic God of War, the allegiance show of the four fortress warriors just now, which made the players in the entire hotel bar stunned, until the simple allegiance ceremony was over, and the two people who had been sitting in the corner drinking came back to their senses and came to say hello.

"Hehe, no problem! But I'll have to go and sell the loot I collected on the road first," Sycamore looked around and asked strangely, "What about the others?" ”

The drunken burp and hooked his finger at the bartender behind the bar: "Bring me a glass of Will, the best kind, the account is on this Master Master!" ”

The bartender smiled kindly and shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't count the bill on Your Excellency Mage!" ”

The wine and the sycamore were both fluted, and the sycamore said, "It's okay, please give my friend a drink"

"No, no, no!"

The bartender interrupted Sycamore, but took out some glasses and placed them on the bar, and poured the Fuchsia wine of Wilshire's specialty, gently pushed it in front of Sycamore and the others, and snapped his fingers, several half-orc servants carried out large oak barrels from the storage room, and a group of beautiful half-elf maids brought out a large number of large oak cups with a smile on their faces, unscrewed the faucet of the oak barrel, and filled the cups with a lot of bubbling ale, and put them in front of every guest in the bar.

"There's just something to celebrate at our Auraon Lodge, isn't it? Maybe in the future, it will be recorded in legends and even epics, and it will be widely sung by bards, and I think our inn is going to become famous, so I decided to have a drink with everyone here! ”

The bartender raised his glass with a smile and said in an exaggerated voice: "But everyone asks for two gold coins for a glass of Will wine, and I will go bankrupt!" So let's raise a glass! Best wishes Aurora. Angstrom. Queen Venern is healthy! ”

"Best wishes to Aurora. Angstrom. Queen Venern is healthy! The patrons in the bar cheered with their big oak glasses.

"Pray that the gods of destiny will bless the well-being of the world!" The innkeeper, who is also a bartender, is obviously a guy who is very good at stirring up the atmosphere, and a few words ignited everyone's emotions, and he didn't know whether he was sincerely blessed or joined in the fun, and he screamed excitedly.

"Finally, I wish Mr. Master good health! Cheers! ”

"Cheers!" Everyone screamed like crazy, and brought the oak cups bigger than their heads to their mouths and drank booze, causing the passers-by outside the inn to poke their heads into their heads with curiosity.

Wutong smiled dryly and touched the bartender boss, and after tasting the wine in the glass, he found that the sweet taste was good, so he drank it with confidence.

The background of "Endless" is the Middle Ages, so the winemaking process is not as developed as in reality, which also leads to the alcohol content is not as high as in reality.

As far as Wutong knows, the dwarf spirits with the highest degree sold on the market are only about 20~30 °, and the degree of wine is only about 8~10 °, as for the ale wine similar to beer, the degree is only 1~2 °, and the alcohol content of the worse barnyard wine is less than 1 °.

Therefore, the barnyard liquor that aborigines and players often drink in "Endless" is not so much alcohol as an alcoholic beverage with trace amounts of alcohol.

Almost after a large group of drunkards had poured the ale and put down the oak cups, Sycamore suddenly received a prompt from the guide:

"Dear Mr. Mage, your fame seems to have spread widely in the Wilshire region, congratulations! You're going to be famous! ”

"+40 Wilshire Fame!"

"Your prestige in Wilshire has reached: [admiration:45]"

"Andele's Fame +4!"

"Your fame in the Duchy of Andel has reached: [Friendliness: 10]"

Sweat! What is the prestige system of "Endless"? It's not that after doing any task, the whole server broadcasts: xxx prestige + how much, but through the way of "word of mouth", gradually spread to gain fame.

When Sycamore first arrived in Fairhaven, he had the reputation of [Normal: 5], just slightly higher than [Cold: 0].

Arrive at the Venane Academy and become a [Mage Apprentice], automatically gaining 1 point; - [Normal: 6]

Gain 1 point for authenticating the status of [Trainee Mage]; - [Normal: 7]

Earn 5 points as a [6th Sir]; - Reached [Friendly: 12]

Verified the status of [Eight Department Chiefs] and gained a total of 16 points; - Reached [Cordial: 28]

Become a disciple of Dean Zemmour, gaining 5 points; - Reached [Enthusiasm: 33]

Accept the dueling challenge from the wanderers under the "Sea Fire" organization in the East Oji, and win the victory, gaining another 5 reputations; - [Enthusiasm: 38]

Later, he cooperated with the Mercenary Guild and gained 5 reputations; - Reached [admiration:43]

In the Mercenary Guild, the "Sea Fire" organization caused a sensation in the whole city and gained 20 prestige; - Skipped [Honor: 50], reached [Honor: 63]

However, these are only limited to the prestige of the Fairhaven City area, so his prestige in the Fairhaven region [Honor: 63] and the Fame of the Duchy of Adele [Common: 6]

Now has another 40 Wilshire Fame, so his Wilshire Fame[admiration:45], Duchy of André Fame[friendly:10]

Although I have also received a prompt from the guide before, but Wutong has never known what this is for, so I didn't take it to heart, and now it seems that the higher the fame, the higher the status, the more benefits can be obtained, such as obtaining the active effect of the NPC and the like.

Of course, getting the active contribution of NPCs is not only related to fame, but also related to the level of one's [Charisma] caste, the higher the [Charisma] caste, the greater the chance of gaining NPC favor, the higher the probability of triggering tasks, and the higher the derived [Leadership].

Obtaining the effect of the barrier warrior actually gained 40 points of prestige at once, which can be regarded as a surprise, Wutong decisively and generously took out the few gold coins left in his pocket to pay, and he can't really let the boss treat him, right?

However, some of the bosses who came crazy did not refuse the gold coin, and after the result, he raised the gold coin and shouted: "Mr. Mage, you have a treat!" Barnyard wine is served free tonight! After a moment of stunned speech, the drinkers collectively cheered.

Wutong sweated a little, this boss is too good at business, he seems to congratulate Wutong heroically, but he just lost a few glasses of locally produced wine and a few barrels of cheap ale, but Wutong is always embarrassed not to pay, right? A player's actions can affect their reputation in their region! finally got a good reputation, but the reputation was damaged because of stinginess.

As a result, after Sycamore paid the bill, the gold coins he paid were more than enough, and he "treated" in the name of Sycamore, which seemed to make less money, but it attracted a large number of customers, and as the story of "Warrior Allegiance" spread in the Wilshire area, the reputation of his hotel would also spread, which was equivalent to advertising him, and he would not lose money

A barrel of 50-pound barnyard wine is only 1 silver coin, and more than a dozen gold coins given by Wutong are enough for the aborigines and players of the entire town of Aoraon to drink to death, and it can also drive consumption, so that he can sell more expensive ale and wine!
