Chapter 13: Arrival in the city

"As far as I know, the 'Night Scorpion' is not small, is it?"

Mephis knew about this mercenary group, and many players would go to the association to hire mercenaries at the beginning of the game era, among which the 'Night Scorpion' was a mercenary group rich in warrior meat shields. Although most players go for female swordsmen with a full body attribute of A.

The female swordsman El Lia is second only to the Night Scorpion Leader in the game, but she is the most popular among players. The reason for this is because of Ellia's personality, she is a tsundere, and she can interact with all kinds of interesting dialogue when poking during her travels, at the cost of reducing her favorability, but players still enjoy it.

Speaking of nonsense, of course, Mephis's attention is not about Ellia, but about the number of this mercenary group, the total number of mercenary groups has reached 300 people, aside from logistics housekeeping and going out to make soy sauce, there should be hundreds of people, and the number in front of me is far from what Mephiss knows.

"It's related to our mission, someone hired us to find someone in the desert, and even if we can't find anyone and find some clues, we will be rewarded."

"No wonder."

Indeed, it's just to find a clue about the missing person, and there is no need for the whole family to flow around, but this man's luck is too bad, and on the way back, he was ridden by a sand thief and almost killed the whole family.

The tired team is like the remnants of a defeated battle, the scarred people support each other forward, and finally see the end of the horizon in the vast desert, the windbreak seems to be the green line that separates the sky and the ground, this is definitely good news for the wounded mercenaries, they look forward to the stars and the moon and wait for the day they leave the desert, return to the city to throw copper plates to their heart's content, in the tavern and prostitution parlors at will, drink the strongest wine, the wildest dogs, full of brotherhood.

Mephis borrowed a map, the nearby terrain is in full view, once one of the novice villages in the game, Camorra City, located in the border of Analos Border City, because of the border junction, the surrounding small countries will use Camorra City as a transit station, trade exchanges to the city to bring prosperity, the annual fiscal tax revenue reached one-third of the country, the importance is self-evident, heavy troops stationed here, the scale of the capital straight after the capital, while saving zài, the world's largest happy street.

However, there may not be no hidden dangers here, and Mephis, who is familiar with the history of the game, is quite a bit prepared.

"The root of this country is magic technology, but the magic technology originated from the Beloka family, and if they can't really understand the principles of these technologies and blindly explore higher things, such a castle in the sky will eventually invite disaster...... Forget it, it's not interesting to say this, the world I know, you must not understand Hervier, right? ”

"Lord Mephis?"

Heviel looked down in thought for a moment, then looked up and replied earnestly.

"I care about half of what you say, what's wrong, why I don't understand, what do these words mean, Lord Mephis, please say it well?"

"Forget it, there's nothing to say, I don't have definite evidence yet."

"I'm irritable, it's like half of my food has been taken away, even Lord Mephis, I'll be beaten up for teasing me like this."

Mephis quietly moved his body and hid in the distance, still holding the magic guide book and half-covering his face, who knows if Heviel would really beat him, and then put away the map, packed up his mood and continued to meet the last journey, about to enter the forest, a short distance ahead is the patrol range of the border army, and it will be completely safe here, and say goodbye to the damned desert scorpion and sand pirates.

Popley smiled on this road, the true colors of the businessman were undoubtedly revealed, in just a few days he met several nobles in a row, obviously encountered sand thieves several times, not only did not lose anything, but made a lot of money, thinking of this and couldn't help but look back, bring back a dozen camels, and sell them more happily.

"It's all Mr. Tomephas's blessing to have these gains, and I got so many things for nothing, I really don't know how good this face is to rest there, so please accept this little bit of heart."

"Is this called a wide heart and a fat body? is also the rest of his life, and he can smile so quickly, and his mentality is really good. ”

Seeing the outline of the city appear in view, Phipley patted his stomach and moved two camels and handed over a full amount of money at the same time, Mephis was not pretentious, and took it casually, because it was too heavy, so he handed it to Hevier to hold.

"Hey, look at what you said, you can't avoid it, since you have avoided it, what are you afraid of? I'm a businessman, so I make money first, and I can't always pull my face to meet customers, leaving a bad impression, and I'm the one who suffers in the end. ”

Mephis was a little impressed with him, and if nothing else, this mentality could help Phipley succeed.

A few people were happy and a few worried, even the mercenaries who were covered in injuries showed the joy of the rest of their lives, only the gloom on Snood's face became more and more obvious at this time, the total destruction of the expedition team hit him not only in his heart, most of them were his subordinates, the huge pension was almost astronomical, and the association's evaluation of him would be reduced to the minimum, how could these be redeemed?

Not many people will speak for a loser.

Mephis looked at the front of the team, the city wall stood still on the earth, the city wall cast by alchemy technology can even prevent the dragon, this is not bragging, but it is really well documented, there are dragon attacks every year in the world, there are only two countries on this continent that can repel the dragon, one of them is Melia ruled by ten Ji gods, and the other is of course Annalos in front of him, the former relies on force, and the latter travels through the sky with dragon strike ships.

The soldiers at the city gate wear a full set of magic armor, and they look like slow heavy armored soldiers, like turtles in a tortoise and rabbit race, but the turtle shell is not simple, players once jokingly called it a jet spiral acceleration or something, relying on alchemy technology to achieve incredible flexibility, as long as in the city, these magic armored soldiers are almost invincible.

Mephis knows that there is a huge magic array under the city to form artificial spirit veins, and these magic armor can be infinitely charged as long as they are located on the spirit veins.

The captain of the soldier is the only one who does not wear a full set of armor, and his body is full of magic fluctuations, and such a skillful manipulation of magic power is obviously a Lingge position, as a swordsman, he is by no means a parallel import, he uses a well-crafted magic weapon, and his strength is far superior to that of those magic armored soldiers, these people are extremely serious about checking the pedestrians who come and go.

"Mr. Mephis, are you interested in serving in the Alchemy Society? With your knowledge, I can definitely help you get a mentor position. ”

"Thank you for looking up to me, please forgive me for not accepting your invitation, I still have a long way to go, and I won't join any organization until then."

Snood nodded, this result was expected, but with the mentality of trying, he gained a lot of information along the way, enough to fight for some remedial opportunities for himself, there is no reason to continue to pester it, it's just that Hevier...... This information is worth more than anything.

Heviel noticed Snod's gaze and quietly returned a cold look, then diverted her attention as the mercenaries came over to express their gratitude.

Mephis stood aside a little bored, it was Hervier who saved the mercenaries, not him, but Heviel ignored any thanks, Mephis had no choice but to bite the bullet, the problem is that people thank Hervier not you Mephis, what's the matter with you licking your face and accepting thanks? The atmosphere became very delicate, and the party receiving the thanks kept apologizing.

There is no feast in the world, everyone is good to get together and disperse, just so Mephis can take a closer look at the real Camorra City and what is the difference between the game and the game, and soon Mephis's tired legs tell him that the city in reality is super huge...... When I was still on Earth, there were buses in big cities, and there was no such thing as a bus or a horse carriage in the wizarding world.

In the game, players can summon mounts anytime and anywhere, but in reality, Mephis has to find a familiar hotel based on his memory and eat and rest in it.

"Lord Mephis, can you buy me something to eat?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Crystals."

"It's a bit expensive...... The fat uncle gave a lot of money, but it was not enough to buy magic crystals, the price of spell casting materials has always been a headache, this is not in a hurry in advance, tomorrow we will go to more places and choose carefully. ”

Hevier nodded noncommittally, and then there was a bit of resentment in her voice.

"Such a budget-conscious will never be able to enjoy the thrill of impulsive spending."

"Yo, you still know how to consume? I don't want to wait until I buy it to feel that it's not suitable, and you're not happy to eat it. What's the thrill of impulse spending? ”

Mephis suddenly remembered playing mobile games in college, the content of the game is to draw cards to collect rare characters, and you can't become stronger without money in the cruel game world, so Mephis went to work to make money Krypton, and Kryptonite surged up and down when he felt comfortable, and after a few months, he recalled that his hard-earned wages were fed to the dogs, and the original consumption impulse became the impulse to slap himself to death with a dozen slaps and then take frozen tofu to death.

"It's there when you squander money."

"yes, it's like it doesn't hurt until ten months after a pop."

The warm smile on Hevier's face froze, and the action of serving tea and pouring water stopped halfway.

“…… Please don't play this joke on me. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot that you were a magic guide Karakuri, I guess you don't understand, right?"

"I understand ......"

"Oh!"

"I don't understand."

"Huh."

"Beat you."

"Kill me, how are you going back to heaven?"

Hervier brought a plate of ham to him, picked up the knife and cut it off along with the plate, Mephiss was stunned for a few seconds and then silently lowered his head to eat, violence could not solve the problem, but it could solve Mephis, and finally lost the money for a plate in the inn.

At night, Mephis lies in bed looking at the ceiling, the soft bed is addictive, but the world around him is no longer familiar, and there is almost no end in sight to what to do in the future, there are many characters that Mephis likes in this game, and there are more regrettable tragedies.

"Can I reverse these tragedies?"

There is no answer to this question, and Mephis gradually falls asleep with questions, and in the dream, although Mephis did not return to Earth, she found a way to call back and successfully got in touch with her family.

"Mom and Dad, are you alright? I'm still out there and don't play games anymore. ”

"Son, have you found a job?"

"Uh, not yet, let's not talk about that, how are you and my dad doing? I'll be back to see you in a while. ”

"Child, it's not easy for you to wander outside, take care of yourself, don't worry about me and your dad, we can take care of ourselves. Yes, I mean, if you really can't get along, just die outside and don't come back, and I'll have another promising son with your father. ”

“No!!!!!!!”

Mephis in her dream falls into the dark abyss.
