3. Chapter 3 The long-dead aristocracy

The speakers speak in Bringa, which is the lingua franca of the human world. After playing "Ripp" for seven years, Roddy is naturally familiar with the languages of this world, he is a technology nerd, and one of the major characteristics of technology nerds is that they always have amazing perseverance to achieve amazing achievements - although Roddy is not a master of the eight Chinese languages in reality, but in the game, he is one of the few players who can directly communicate with NPCs in Bringa.

The game "Ripp" is characterized by realism, a great degree of realism, including neuralgia connection, including advanced technology, of course, is not comparable to the previous online games played with a mouse and keyboard, and the language used in it is a self-created language family, no less perfect than the Klingon language in Star Trek or the Elvish language of The Lord of the Rings, there are dozens of separately created languages in the game, eight of which can be used to communicate in place of any native language - However, most players choose to use the in-game language translator to talk to NPCs, and few people are willing to learn complicated languages and give up the time to level up and fight monsters and farm equipment.

But Roddy is one of the very few beings, and it's because he's studied the history and language of the game that he's finally been able to achieve far beyond the ordinary.

"I'm fine, captain. ”

Of course, Roddy won't just say "You bunch of garbage are chased by green-skinned brutes like fucking dogs and are embarrassed to ask me if I'm okay", at least in this quest dungeon, he still knows what to say - this game is very particular about "RP", not the abbreviation of "character", but the English abbreviation of "role-playing", which means that the more your behavior language fits the plot in the game scene, the higher the interaction rate with NPCs.

I think that Luo Di was also a guy who studied with this "Actor's Self-cultivation", although his acting skills are not as good as Hollywood actors, but of course he can bluff NPCs.

He quickly adjusted his state and whispered like an ordinary team member: "Captain, the enemy doesn't have much equipment left, I think we need to bury the fallen brothers, after all, the war horses are no longer enough for us to take theirs... The corpse returned. ”

Roddy tried his best to tone sadly, his words were full of lowliness, he had already learned the identity of the other party from the vice-captain badge on Carter's chest, and the corpse wearing the captain's badge was not far away, at this moment the team was of course under the command of the other party, and as for what "fallen brothers" and the like, it was completely a line played in the plot - Roddy actually didn't even know the name of the captain in front of him, but he knew very well... Don't think of yourself as a leader until you know what kind of dungeon this is, and everything has to be based on the interactions of NPCs to find clues and make decisions.

Listening to Roddy's pure Bringa, the deputy captain Carter hurriedly signaled the scouts behind him to cooperate to clean up the corpse, but in his heart, he was extremely surprised that the other party's strength could suddenly become so terrifying--the series of actions just now didn't look like what any recruit could do, and the short bow could be used to strangle his throat? Even the veterans who participated in the border war many years ago, no one could kill people in such an unbelievable way, right?

Look at the orcs who died all around, either in the throat and eye sockets or in the mouth, who has been a soldier does not understand what it means to reach such a level of archery?

A fixed target allows you to shoot from a distance of twenty meters, and there are many scouts who can have a high hit rate during training, but as long as they go to the battlefield, these people can have a one-third of the usual hit rate, which is enough to be an elite soldier for Lord Kirk!

What I just faced was a group of strong orcs who could move and run, and it was not a straw target with a red heart in the middle at all... How could he shoot so accurately?

Of course, what Carter didn't know was that the young man he called "Lodi" in front of him was actually a former level 115 ranger player.

In "Ripp", the calculation of the player's level is superimposed, that is, "basic class level + advanced class level", and Roddy's advanced class level has two, which are level 59 "Ranger" and level 31 "Berserker", and the basic class is "Legionnaire" with a level of 25.

The cap level of the basic profession is 25, so his "Legionnaire" is the full level, and the "advanced profession" is at most two and there is no cap - but in the advanced profession, level 30 and level 60 are the two major thresholds, because these two levels do not have enough experience points to upgrade, but they need to pass a series of difficult and dangerous trial tasks, of which level 60 is extremely difficult, almost stuck more than 99% of players cannot be upgraded, but once this threshold is crossed, the player's strength will be improved by leaps and bounds.

From this, it can be seen that Luo Di's strength - 59 and 31 two professional levels, which means that Luo Di is already the first echelon of "professional high play" among all the "rippling" players.

But now, Roddy found that his equipment, skills, and even titles had all disappeared, and he had completely become a rookie egg, probably still the lowest status, and then looked at the lining of his washed white military uniform, he understood that this was definitely not the result of thrift... The logistics officer of the military system is greedy for oil and water, and naturally provokes the egg, and unfortunately, he seems to be the most cowardly.

Carter, who was standing in front of Roddy, swallowed his spit, not knowing what to say.

Of course, he noticed the changes in Roddy, what did Roddy look like before this? He was really just a torturer who was called around, and now?

Although Carter was only the vice-captain of the scout in the village, he had also dealt with the awesome knights in the territory, and he thought he was well-informed, so at this moment he vaguely felt... You'd better not offend this guy whose strength suddenly exploded.

Thinking of this, Carter had a little thought in his heart. Seeing that Luo Di was about to go with the remaining two comrades-in-arms to bury his comrades-in-arms, he immediately spoke up: "Luo Di, if it weren't for you, we would all go to see Goddess Siqi... I think you're seriously injured, so let's take a break. ”

These words were said extremely politely, but he knew in his heart that he was actually drinking Roddy in front of him with a mouthful of "torture" and a mouthful of "little bastard" the day before...

Lodi?

Roddy, of course, was not bad at hearing, and he frowned, not thinking that it was any coincidence that the vice-captain had misnamed himself twice - if there was a correct judgment, it was that his current identity was not the player "Roddy", but a recruit named "Roddy".

Although Luo Di had more and more doubts in his heart, he still replied politely: "My injury is not in the way, Captain, what is our next mission?"

"Mission?" Carter was stunned, thinking to himself that this is still nonsense, of course, to get out of this place quickly! I think you'll be rewarded for your work. ”

Although he was jealous, Carter still understood that the other party should take some meritorious medals, after all, he couldn't kill so many strong orcs by himself. However, Roddy's subsequent words made his eyes widen - "Captain, I'm just an ordinary private, you personally killed six orcs in this battle, and I was slightly injured to cover you, Captain, didn't I?"

Roddy has already dealt with similar NPCs countless times, in this case, he is stupid to ask for credit, I'm afraid he will only end up offending people, on the contrary, although his righteous and awe-inspiring words are to give the credit, but in fact, the system will eventually hand over its own reward - don't offend NPCs, especially remember to please friends NPCs... This was one of the most important lessons he had learned in the game for seven years.

Although Vice Captain Carter was a little afraid of Roddy's strength, he still showed an expression of "you are very good" after thinking about it, and accepted it by default after prevarication, and spoke more politely, and took out the wine bag he was carrying and threw it to Roddy, who took a sip of gratitude, but his face was instantly burned red, and he handed it back after coughing for a long time. This scene made Carter laugh and pat on the shoulder, and the two seemed to be much closer.

The remaining scouts brought in their horses, and the only four remaining living men took the relics of their comrades, mounted their horses, and began to return the same way.

Roddy, who was complaining about the unpleasant drink, was a little dizzy in his mind - didn't he never drink the wine in the game, but he had never heard of getting drunk after drinking it?

"Rippling", although connected to the nerves, does not simulate the results of alcohol at all, as Roddy is clear.

But whatever... Just follow the NPCs. Roddy was dazed on horseback judging the surrounding scenery, and found that his vision was still empty - the original various plug-ins and default skill bars were completely gone, and the mini-map function was also missing, and then he found it even more painful... I couldn't remember where this was in the Nahemian plain.

Otaku Roddy had a bad premonition, and he felt a little weird about riding a horse - it seemed... Horseback riding isn't so bumpy in the game...

How is it so real?Could it be that the game has been updated with a patch pack online?

The scouts in the team were all silent because of the sacrifice of their comrades, except for Carter, the remaining two were not very old, they were both around twenty years old, and they knew at a glance that their skills were not very good. Although he has weapons, his momentum is too weak, and he is completely the kind of soft egg who can't go to the battlefield - as a "senior player", of course, Roddy is qualified to judge like this, but while he secretly observes these guys, he also discovers a not very good fact...

The soldiers' uniforms clearly belonged to the old military uniforms of the Karen Kingdom, which he hadn't paid attention to in the previous battle, but now he had carefully read an insignia on the shoulders of himself and the other soldiers: the head of the wolf, a sideways symbol of the wolf's head.

How did this emblem appear here?The "Head of the Wolves" is the symbol of the Rusifron family in the Karen Kingdom, which has been on a downward trend since the beginning of the game, and players born in the Human Empire will receive a lot of quests about this family from the Novice Village, and it can be said that the name "Rusifron" is familiar to them.

However, as the game progressed, the kingdom's internal and external troubles and contradictions broke out, and the Rusiflon family became the representative of the "traitorous party" in the struggle, and it had long since completely disappeared in the war.

That... What are these people right now? The remnants of the thief party?

But what am I?

Roddy lowered his head, helplessly realizing that he also had this emblem on his shoulder.
