Luo Jie counted slightly, and the crowd that appeared with the white light in the square was about 10,000 people, which was exactly the same as the first batch of public beta numbers in the original book.

However, after his call system interface failed, it was already determined that although this is SAO, it is not the SAO of the virtual world in the original book, but a real different world with SAO as the world background.

This would explain why there are such a large number of aboriginal NPCs and Kingdom Guards responsible for maintaining order in this "Street of Initiation".

In other words, these so-called "players" in the square are actually time-travelers who have crossed over from the real world of Sword Art Online.

Well, although it has changed from a game world to a real world, it's a little weird, but once you accept this setting, in fact, this kind of "flesh wear" is actually quite emotional.

Luo Jie originally wanted to take out the [USS Micro Unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft] from the storage space to see if he could find the familiar faces of the main characters in the original book from the crowd.

However, just as his consciousness touched the drone in the storage space, a line of system warnings popped up.

[Warning: This scene is an equipment-limited scenario, and it is strictly forbidden to use all modern technological artifacts and thermal weapons.] 】

Luo Jie was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised.

After all, such a restriction was very common in the fantasy world in the context of the Middle Ages, and he just made a subconscious action just now, forgetting that there was such a limitation.

He swept around the crowd on tiptoe, and when he saw that it was just a bunch of passers-by, he gave up looking for the original character.

Anyway, the timeline of the Fantasy Land has just begun, and there will always be a chance to encounter it in the future.

The immediate task is to understand the rules by which the world works.

Or rather, the rules of survival for these outsiders.

At this moment, a high platform slowly rose in the center of the square, and the light of the surrounding circle flickered, reflecting the holiness of a blonde beauty wearing an olive branch headdress and a pure white ornate robe.

As soon as the blonde beauty appeared, the chatter of the citizens in the square immediately stopped, and everyone showed an extremely reverent look on their faces, and placed their hands in a prayer gesture on their chests, showing the greatest respect for her.

On the contrary, the traversers in the square exchanged their heads with great interest and commented on this blonde beauty, whose appearance was clearly different from that of a human.

"Wow! See those long ears? It's an elf! ”

"Mouthful! How could an elf have such a good amount of work! This is heresy! ”

From the moment the blonde female elf appeared, Luo Jie's focus had been on the chic green olive branch ornament on her head, and the other party's appearance made him feel a little familiar inexplicably, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Of course, this kind of character that is obviously a "saint" at first glance is found in almost every two-dimensional anime set in another world, and it is not surprising that sometimes it is confused.

"Brave men from another world, welcome to the Seven Shields Alliance."

The blonde elf's voice was very soft, giving people a warm feeling like a spring breeze, obviously not loud, but every word could be transmitted to the ears of everyone present very clearly, as if the other party was whispering beside him.

The voice seemed to have a reassuring magic, and the many traversers in the field quickly stopped talking and waited intently for the other party's next speech.

"I'm sorry to summon you from a distant world, our world is on the verge of extinction, and we urgently need the help of the braves......"

Under the slightly pleading explanation of the blonde elf priestess, Luo Jie gradually began to understand the background of this world.

As the prefix suggests, although this world is a very cliché sword and magic world, what exists as a monster here is not an ordinary beast, but a terrifying monster that has been turned into a mother.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a great demon named "Lance" who crossed over from another world defiled the goddess of the world "Reliantia", and before leaving, he exerted his "love blessing" on this boring world.

Since then, the people here have been living a nightmare that has lasted for hundreds of years.

All the monsters in the wild turned into female forms overnight, and since there were no males of the same race, these monster girls would take the initiative to attack the pedestrians and caravans in the wild, killing the women among them, and abducting the men among them as reproductive tools in place of the males.

Of course, the fate of these men was not as rosy as it sounded.

These unintelligent monster girls won't tell you anything about sustainable reuse, and after squeezing all the essence of a man out at once, they will abandon the other person's withered corpse in the wilderness, or simply eat it themselves.

After several fruitless crusades, the surviving men were afraid to leave the town, and all outings were carried out by women.

And then the eggs.

Since no human males could be found in the wild, as a result, during the demonic beast estrus period in the spring of the second year, all the human towns and cities were attacked by the terrifying monster Niang tide.

Although the Seven Shields Alliance relied on the tall and sturdy walls of the main city to resist with difficulty, the towns and villages on the outskirts suffered heavy losses in this wave of monster girls, and most of the adult males were taken captive by various monster girls, leaving only some old and young women and children barely escaped.

Due to the number of existing warriors can no longer organize a large-scale crusade team, in order to ensure the safety of the vast majority of the people, as well as the continuation of the human race in this world, the Seven Shields Alliance has to make a painful decision to exterminate humanity - every year before the arrival of the estrus period of the monster girl, a group of adult males are selected as sacrifices through the form of lottery, and sent to various monster nests to meet the breeding needs of these fierce monster beasts, and take the initiative to avoid the recurrence of the monster girl tide.

However, someone with a modicum of math will understand.

The monster mother will mature in two or three years at the latest, and each generation is a female; And it takes at least sixteen years for humans to mature a generation, and only half of them are male.

Therefore, this practice is actually drinking to quench your thirst.

So, hundreds of years have passed in a hurry, and the number of monster girls in the wild has reached an alarming point, and correspondingly, the human population has begun to be precarious.

In desperation, as the spokesperson of the world goddess "Reliantia" in the human world, the rare light elf "Christine" had to risk that the gate of hell might be opened by mistake, and forcibly opened a time and space channel, summoning brave people from another world to save this world that was about to perish.
