"Sorens entered the Brave Continent because of my commission, and did you also enter the game because of the commission? ......" Clear Sky's curiosity was ignited, and he couldn't stop asking questions.
"Of course, we all came in because of commissions. I was commissioned by the government to come in and save a politician. Shengyou Network, which produces the game of Brave Continent, is not only invested by the fund of Lei Shang Group, which has a deep background, but also a high-tech enterprise specially approved by Haihua City, and has received a lot of support funds from the government. When the game was launched, it received a lot of attention, and even important officials from the Haihua city government were among the people who were invited to test it. Speaking of which, you may also be able to guess who I came to save, there is only one Haihua City official who suddenly stopped showing up some time ago, and that is the mayor of Haihua City, Marcus. ”
"I've heard that a lot of powerful people have been trapped in this game, and it turns out that the mayor has also suffered an unexpected ......."
"On the 5th day after Mayor Marcus's accident, the government secretly contacted the organization to ask for support and rescue, I entered on the 7th day of his game, and as of today I have been in this game for a year and two months, a total of 426 game days, you should come in shortly and tell me the real-world time, how long has it been since the game was released?"
Clear Sky thought about this slightly complicated time logic for a moment, and replied: "Since the release of the game test, three and a half months have passed, my sister entered the first day of the game's open beta, and as of the day I entered the game, she has been trapped for 108 days, and I have been in the game for 22 game days so far, that is-"
"The time in the game is 4 times faster than in the real world, which means that one day in the real world is equal to four days in the game." Leoria replied quickly, then sighed softly, "No matter what time it is, it flies so fast. Once I got into the game, I tried everything I could to get stronger, and I spent almost a year tracking down Marcus. When I found him, he was a member of the Bachelor's Guild founded by the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Manchester, which made my mission difficult. ”
"Is this because the members of the Bachelor's Association are important members of the government, and they live in seclusion, so it is difficult to approach?"
"Pretty much. First of all, you need to understand that Manchester is a centralized state system, and the highest centralized power under the king has set up three important positions: the Prime Minister, the Home Minister and the Minister of War. The Minister of the Interior is in charge of the Administration, the Minister of War is in charge of the military, and the Prime Minister is responsible for organizing cabinet meetings, transmitting the King's decrees, and is responsible for prosecuting officials. The current king of Manchester, Ambrose, is a tyrannical and powerful man, who in recent decades has been keen to worship the gods and specialize in new weapons, leaving the governance of the country to the former Prime Minister Albert, who is the hand of the king, under one man and above ten thousand. Under Albert's banner there is a special independent organization called the Bachelor's Society, which is dedicated to collecting consultations, giving advice, and doing some shady things, which is a very mysterious and well-protected organization. Marcus was in the middle of it, so it's no wonder it took me so long to track him down. ”
"So, you went to Manchester to meet Marcus?" Clear Sky led the way to the next question, and she knew that if she continued on the topic, the truth about Leoly's hunt would be known immediately.
"Yes, I spent a long time in Manchester to get close to him. The culture of that continent has led to the radical and warlike people, and even the players who land on that continent have been deeply affected and have become aggressive and murderous, so, as a Keane, my life in Manchester has not been easy, and I will inevitably have to face various situations, including sudden fights. Later, I finally used Manchester's founding day to sneak into the inner sanctum of Fort Furnace, pretending to be an inner court guard and finding Marcus at a dinner party of dignitaries, but unfortunately he had forgotten who he was - there was no way to do it, and it was not possible for a non-professional with no mental talent or professional training to spend too much time in the virtual world created by brainwave games, resulting in cognitive confusion and mistaking the virtual world for the origin of reality. Even I now need to spend an hour every morning meditating on fragments of my Origin World to make sure I don't get lost. Either way, the result was that Marcus not only didn't listen to me, but also treated me like an assassin and was hunted down by soldiers. I was hiding in the middle of the complex inner sanctum, and I stumbled upon a dungeon hidden deep underground. To my great surprise - it was the Prophet Mulla, the guardian of Manchester, who was being imprisoned. ”
"Prophet? No way? ...... "Although I haven't seen any miracles of the prophet, from the creation story and current affairs told by the priest of the Prayer Village over and over again, Clear Sky has understood the significance of the Guardian Prophet to this brave continent, which is an extremely sacred and powerful representative of power, and should be respected and admired, right?" - "Even the prophet has befallen him, and it seems that something must be wrong in the kingdom of Manchester." ”
"Strangely, the Prophet Mura was sealed in a seamless black iron prison on all sides, and could only speak to me in a faint voice, and she showed me a shortcut to escape from Fort Furnace, and instructed me to go to the middle of the magma river south of Fort Fort to salvage this letter blessed with miracles, and ordered me to deliver it to King Tyras of Keen anyway, and this is the whole story of the letter." After saying that, Leoria got up from the ground and beckoned to Clear Sky, "I've finished telling the story you want to hear, and then it's time to practice, and it's time to get started." ”
After listening to such a bizarre experience, Clear Sky finally understood why the supreme power of Manchester wanted to mobilize the forces of the whole country to hunt down this man, he not only learned the terrible secret of the prophet's imprisonment, but also planned to reveal the huge dark curtain behind this secret to the supreme centralization of the Keane continent, which is equivalent to telling the world - no wonder it is rumored that the two countries are about to fight, no wonder Leoria says that the storm is coming, and the key to all this may be this letter from the prophet Mura. Thinking of this, she unconsciously touched the meaningful letter lying in her backpack, exhaled, jumped off the big rock, followed Leolia's figure, and continued to concentrate on leveling.
Four hours later, Clear Sky finally reached level 25, reaching a new level of proficiency in the release and switching skills of magic explosions and fireballs. She staggered out of the cave again, tired and unable to care about the image anymore, and fell to the ground at once, not even the strength to speak.
Leoria walked up to her and sat down, took out two loaves of bread and a jug of water from his backpack, placed one in front of her, and then looked at the morning sun and nibbled on the bread to himself.
With her eyes on the food, the girl finally sat up and concentrated on her breakfast while listening to Leoria's next steps.
"Originally, I was going to try to bypass the main road to walk, but the terrain of Wuyu Mountain is dangerous, there is only one road that is convenient for traffic, that section of the Wushan Canyon Road is the only way to go around, we are expected to arrive after an hour if we set off now, it is estimated that we can pass at noon, during which we must be especially vigilant against the appearance of the pursuers, if you really encounter danger, I will let my mount carry you to run first."
As soon as she heard Leoria's remark that she should take care of herself in everything, Qingtian was extremely embarrassed, and secretly made up her mind not to delay too much. He immediately cheered up and nodded firmly to him: "Hmm! ”
At the end of breakfast, the two of them took the white lion and marched west along the foot of Wuyu Mountain, and sure enough, an hour later they came to a narrow passage between valleys. The road is so narrow that at most three people can walk in parallel, and when you look ahead, you can see the steep cliffs on both sides, towering into the sky, and the center point between the two valleys seems to have a light shining through the gap, but you can't see its head, this road is really a dangerous road that takes some time to pass.
"In addition to chasing soldiers, you also have to be careful overhead, there will be boulders falling here from time to time, although my white lion will hide, it is better to be careful." Leoria touched the white lion's right ear as she spoke, and at once she used all its strength to run towards the end of the narrow road.
