Chapter 12 Dispersion
Xue Qiong continued: "Historically, the outbreak time of the Dark Elf Plague was 985 in the Arad calendar, and there is no problem with this. Those five 'very strong guys', judging from one particularly tall and one suspected of being a dark elf, should be the Four Sword Saints and the Dark Elf Ghost Swordsman Luxi, which is not surprising in itself..."
"But the thing is, two things shouldn't happen in that order." Boca also seemed to have memorized the history of the Arad Continent before coming, and he added: "The Four Sword Saints, Luxi, the Imperial Army, and the Purple Mist, although all the people who entered the Cave of Sorrow in history are all together, but the time of that event... It would have been 981, at least four years late, for the two events to occur almost simultaneously. ”
Xue Qiong nodded and continued: "And then there is this village, Grosiner itself. ”
"The name Grossinger is not found in any real-world information." Xue Qiong said what she thought, "Although looking at the current appearance here, it is likely that this village has disappeared at the beginning of the main story, but it is more likely... It's because of the plot changes that have occurred at the beginning that there must be such a place here, and then, here, this place that we have never heard of, will become one of the important cores of the plot at this stage. ”
That's right, this plot world is different from any of the plot worlds that Xue Qiong has experienced, it deviates from the original plot a little at the beginning without any interference from reincarnations...
"I've been in this situation before." While drinking the best tequila smuggled from the Dark City, Da Shao said, "The plot inertia and world view will be easier to change than normal. Fortunately, the world is very complicated now, and there are all kinds of technology and magic, otherwise it will be difficult to do it after the worldview is broken..."
Everyone began to fall silent, not knowing what to say. And Xue Qiong and the three of them are because they are actually facing this situation for the first time, so... In this case, Xue Qiong could only say the first layer of information he had gathered, and the second layer of speculation, and unfortunately could not make any constructive statements.
It is worth mentioning that except for Xue Qiong and the others, the other reincarnators here have roughly experienced five to eight plot worlds. After all, not everyone can be like Xue Qiong, who can get more than twice the reward of the exit point in two consecutive story worlds, and also open an additional enhanced world... Normal reincarnators are like Xiao Yun and Bald Head, who barely save 5,000 points in the first world and get out directly, and then can only enter the trading area with 500 tradable points, buy some basic equipment, and go up little by little...
A person like Xue Qiong, who can walk into the trading area with two life crystals after the end of the first world, is really a special case within a special case. So now, although the strength of the three of them is not weaker than the other reincarnators, they are the least experienced group here, and they can only wait for others to speak... One of the side effects of too fast a strength boost.
"I personally recommend it." The three-person team, Boka, the leader of the Flying Bird Regiment, spoke, "Let's not decide where we want to go, let's cooperate temporarily within this day, in this... Grosingl and its surroundings are trying to gather as much information as possible, exchange information, and at the same time ensure that they will stay for the next few days. As for what to do after that, all I can say depends on the situation. ”
"No matter what you decide, I'm going to go it alone. However, I'll be back before the evening. Dashao put the empty bottle on the table, "Unless... I'm with Liu Yi's little brother, alone~"
"Mr. Boca." Liu Yi's expression became very serious, "My companion and I will act with you, as long as it keeps me away from this woman." ”
John the Negro said: "I had a strict plan before I entered this world, so I forgive myself for not cooperating with that. Anyway, I'm going straight to Huttonmar. ”
"It's your freedom." Boca spread his hands, "So, Mr. Sandru, and Miss Yun and... Mr. Bald Head, what are your options? ”
Xue Qiong raised her eyebrows and pondered for a while before saying, "The three of us will act as a separate group. Well, the five of you stay in Grosingl, and the three of us go see if there are any other human settlements nearby, find out what else is going on, find out if there are any other changes, and come back before dark... How is it? ”
"Nice proposal." Boca nodded, "So, let's go our separate ways." By the way, be careful, it's best not to interact with any important plot characters, especially the Four Sword Masters here. ”
-------------
Walking out of Grosiner, which had basically become a military camp, Xue Qiong and the three of them casually found a direction and went headlong into the nearby woods.
Of course, he will not do what he says honestly to do "reconnaissance". The reason for his offer to leave Grossinger and wander around is actually as follows:
First of all, he did feel several bright energy clusters in the village, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. However, there are more than the five known hotels in the hotel...
In fact, there are only two humanoid energy masses that can be continuously felt in the direction of the hotel. The other three only appeared intermittently a few times, each lasting less than ten seconds. However, Xue Qiong also felt at least ten or more energy clusters in the camp of the Purple Mist Regiment and the command tent of the Imperial Army, two of which were particularly bright, and even two or three in some places where the local residents of Grosinor lived. This means that, apart from the reincarnation, there are at least eighteen people in the current Grosiner who can use supernatural energy, which may be the Void Ancestor's Qi Master, a martial artist, a ghost swordsman or a magician of the Empire, or some powerful bandits who are still hiding in Grosiner... Moreover, among them are the Four Sword Saints, Luxi, and maybe even Kane, the leader of the Purple Mist, these guys who are known to almost symbolize the pinnacle of the world's martial arts.
This means that Grosingl is not at all as safe as it seems. If you stay there, it's almost inevitable that you'll get into unnecessary trouble, and it's a problem that the reincarnations, including yourself, can't handle.
Why do you say "inevitably"? There is a key question here, that is, what is the biggest characteristic of reincarnation, especially reincarnation who has just entered the world of the plot?
In the struggle to survive in one world after another, reincarnators have almost all formed the habit of treating human life as a mustard. In particular, if you want to save enough points to get out without affecting the plot, the only way is to kill civilians on a large scale.
And the reincarnator who has just entered the world of the plot will generally spend all the points on his body before entering... After all, if the money is not spent, it is likely to be brought into the coffin, so the points on these reincarnators are basically a little slippery.
So here's the problem, when staying in the story world, you need to continue to consume stay points, with a minimum of 50 points a day. What should the reincarnators do on their first day? Boca said before they dispersed that it was better not to interact with important plot characters, why is that?
The answer is that as long as the reincarnation interacts with important plot characters and gets that meeting point, it is actually equivalent to having a certain degree of impact on the plot of this world. Although the impact of this level is small and almost negligible, anything related to the plot change will be very dangerous in this scenario world, so they don't dare to gamble on it.
Then, the only way for the reincarnators to maintain the consumption of the first day of stay is to kill.
And then, if you stay in Grosingl, what is left of the choice?
To put it nicely, that's... Brush the tiger's whiskers.
So trouble is like that, and it's bound to come up.
And Xue Qiong and the others chose to leave Grosingl, just to find some goblins, minotaurs, small bandit dens, or other beasts, monsters and the like to kill them first to ensure a stop, and then in the evening, they first saw if the five people had poked out of the basket, and then decided whether to return to Grosingl.
As for why Xue Qiong didn't tell the important information he noticed, of course, he was looking forward to someone else poking out the basket, and then taking a look at the strength of the characters in this world from a distance...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, Xue Qiong and the three of them were standing more than ten kilometers west of Grosiner, on the top of a hill that was considered a "mountain", and the carcass of a wild boar was lying next to it. Aside from lunch, the poor thing only contributed a dozen points, and they had to find some fat sheep, so they looked for a vantage point, wanting to see if there were any obvious targets nearby.
Xue Qiong held a pair of binoculars and looked into the distance. Then he found that the forest to the northwest, which should have been at least a hundred kilometers away, had now turned into a coke.
It's just a simple telescope, and you can't see it clearly at this distance. But it's too obvious over there, the green forest directly turns into a black line there, combined with the known plot...
"Gran Forest. Will it take more than ten years before it becomes a forest again..."Seeing that the plot here has not changed, and Gran Sen has indeed been burned once in recent years, Xue Qiong went on to find something else.
"In that direction, the distance is about... Three to five kilometers? I'm not too good at visual inspection, but at this distance, we'll definitely have time to go back when we're done. Xue Qiong handed the telescope to the bald head and pointed to a location at the same time. The three of them only had one pair of telescopes, which was an oversight.
The bald head took the binoculars, looked for it for a while, and said: "A cottage, the number of people is about 100... None of them are particularly robust. The back is on a hill, but the tallest wooden building is only three storeys, so it's a bit crowded. ”
