Chapter XVIII: The Covenant
"When you join our team, we'll provide you with as much help and protection as possible during your weakest stages of adaptation...... Of course, we don't want our efforts to end up in exchange for your "quitting" after you become stronger, so if you want to join our team, you must sign a "covenant", which is very simple, that is, you cannot voluntarily quit the team within one year. ”
You don't have to worry about the authenticity of this "Covenant", because whenever you join a certain squad as a newcomer, then nine times out of ten you will be asked to sign this "Covenant", and some "Covenants" will make more demands, or the exchange points for their purchase of "Covenant" will be required to pay for the newcomers themselves...... Although it is a bit of a boast to say this, in fact, our team is indeed very humane, hehe......"
"Of course, it's your free choice to join or not, and you don't have to influence your decision because of what just happened, although we helped you, but we also earned some exchange points, so even if it wasn't for your appearance, we would choose to shoot when we encountered this number of bugs...... As you said just now, your previous plan was to go to Lucheng to look for the Apostle so that we could form a team, so even if you don't join our team, we can give you a ride, because we were also going to go back to Lucheng, even if it was a stop. ”
After Zhou Fan finished speaking seriously, he was silent and looked at Zhang Yu quietly.
I have to say that this handsome captain is eloquent, what he said is reasonable, and he does not imply or force anything when he narrates, but more in a consultative tone, which can undoubtedly greatly increase the goodwill of the other party, that is, Zhang Yu.
"Huh." Zhang Yu smiled, didn't rush to answer anything, but touched Belle's head, and said calmly: "To be honest, I still have a good impression of a few people, and my original intention was to find a team to join or team up with other separate apostles, so even if you don't mention the matter of joining, I will be cheeky to bring it up." It's just that if I want to join your team, I have to mention a selfish condition...... Be sure to keep Belle safe and give you the most protection possible. ”
Belle was stunned, she didn't expect Zhang Yu to mention herself at this time, and when she understood it, her eyes turned red, if she hadn't seen Zhang Yu smiling and shaking her head at herself, I'm afraid she would have burst into tears.
It's not Belle's contrivedness, it's just human nature...... It's like a beggar who treats you well, you will be moved at most, and you may even be dismissive. But if the Emperor or someone like this is many levels above you to help you, then you may be grateful to the point of repaying you with death.
What will it take to be flattered? I think that even if parents love and spoil their children, their children will not appear to be flattered, but you try to replace one parent with EXO.
In fact, in the eyes of natives like Belle, the Apostles were like gods on high, and even their original presidents could not be compared.
"Oh?" Zhou Fan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Yu to put forward such a condition.
And Sun Li's eyes when they looked at Zhang Yu also flashed.
vulnerable, at the bottom of the food chain, unable to turn on the source power, backward in thinking...... This is undoubtedly the original inhabitants of the Thirteen Domains in the eyes of the apostles, and this view will not be changed because of the sentence "Lord Son of Heaven", and even this excessive flattery and cowardice will only make the apostles look down on them even more. Although all the apostles understood that these natives were in fact human beings, for various reasons, the apostles had a sense of superiority in front of the natives, and never regarded them as their own kind.
This discrimination is much more serious than skin color discrimination.
In fact, even if one of the apostles had massacred the original inhabitants, the other apostles would not have made a fuss. If it weren't for the monthly mission, what apostle would have been idle enough to deal with the natives? Not to mention sympathy or protection.
Sadly, the status quo is ...... The original inhabitants of the Thirteen Domains, on the contrary, are worthless under the identity of their homeland, and this status quo is estimated to be difficult to change.
Of course, this kind of discrimination against the original inhabitants of the apostles is not innate, and it usually takes three or five months after coming to the Thirteen Domains to gradually form, and Zhang Yu, as a newcomer, obviously does not have this kind of discrimination...... First of all, I don't think about whether he will have this kind of discrimination like other apostles in the future, but for now, the original inhabitants in Zhang Yu's eyes are human beings with flesh and blood and feelings like him.
Zhang Yu may not be a saint, but he has his own view of good and evil, and the original residents of Tianshui Town saved his life, so even if there is no task reward, he will clean up the insects in Tianshui Town before considering leaving.
Belle gave everything he had to himself, so even if he didn't like Belle, he couldn't turn a blind eye and abandon it.
This is not a clear grievance between the grace of a little water and a spring, this is just the human nature of reciprocating the favor...... Of course, if you have to say, "Oh, if you give me a peach, I'll just give you a piece of." ”
There's really no other way than to call you a slut.
……
"Although you are a newcomer and may not understand the situation of the original inhabitants, no matter what, you can see that you are a person who values love and righteousness." Zhang Fan nodded, and did not show an embarrassed expression, but shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "No problem, this condition of yours is actually not a condition, because in our stronghold, there is an altar core, as long as she is placed in it." ”
When they spoke, they did not stand still, but talked as they walked, and by the time Zhang Fan finished speaking, they had already walked out of the forest and came to a cliff with a slope of nearly right angles.
When you come here, your vision instantly widens up, and you feel like you've entered a new world. From here, you can see the rolling mountains far away, the low ground cover growing on the cliffs, and a city in the plains below the cliffs.
There is no doubt that the city is the final destination of Zhang Yu and Belle's trip, Lucheng.
However, although it is quite far away, you can still clearly feel the sense of ruin exuded by Lucheng, and the gray and black land is black, looking like the end of the world.
"Altar Core ......"
Zhou Fan's answer made Zhang Yu feel much more relieved. Then he hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "May I ask, how many apostles are there in Lucheng?" ”
"Hey, I didn't expect your kid to think about it quite comprehensively, what a shrewd guy." This time it was not Zhang Fan who spoke, but the bald uncle Wang Xu, who pointed to Lucheng in the distance and said: "Don't look at Lucheng as big, but in fact, there are three resident squads in the small Lucheng alone, in addition to our "League of Legends", there are also the strongest and weakest "Great Brahma" and "Green Rain" These two squads, in terms of the number of apostles, the three squads add up to less than twenty people...... Well, seventeen or eighteen. Speaking of this, Wang Xu touched his bearded chin, looked at Zhang Yu with a smile and said, "As for the lone ranger...... I don't think that apostle would do such a stupid thing except for a newcomer. ”
"I think you're an idiot." Sun Li, who was standing next to Wang Xu, rolled her eyes helplessly, as if she was very dissatisfied with the other party's open-mouthedness. When she looked at Zhang Yu, she put on her smile again, put one hand on Zhang Yu's shoulder, covered her lips with the other, and smiled very charmingly: "I said Zhang Yu is handsome, don't pay attention to this guy, he is so stinky and virtuous...... I'll let you tell you about the three squads in Lucheng in detail, so that you can refer to them in detail, and it's up to you what to choose...... Although of course I would like to have one more handsome guy in the team......"
"The three squads in Lucheng, although they are not peaceful, are not hostile, and they are basically in a state where the well water does not interfere with the river water. The strongest "Great Brahma" team has a total of nine apostles, among which the captain and deputy team are all strong people in Yunyuan, and the other members are mostly old people, so the strength is very strong, but ......" Speaking of this, Sun Li blinked mischievously, as if deliberately hanging Zhang Yu's appetite.
But after pausing for a while, she found that Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, and then continued with a smile: "Although our "League of Legends" ranks second in terms of overall strength, even the "Great Brahma" is very jealous of ours...... Because although the number of apostles in our team is small, they are all very capable, especially our captain, even if the captain of the "Great Brahma" is on the team with his vice-team, it is not necessarily his opponent...... On top of that, our squad also has a sniper, and his realistic shooting record is 92 rings in 10 rounds at 2000 meters......"
"What!"
Zhang Yu was taken aback, and involuntarily looked at the cold young man standing at the edge of the crowd.
He didn't really know what Zhou Fan's strength was, but as far as Leng Tong was concerned, although he deeply understood the kind of marksmanship that hit every shot and shot the head, he didn't expect that the other party would be perverted to this extent!
As a half-military fan, Zhang Yu knows one thing very well, that is, the sniper rifle seems to be easy to use, as if it is nothing more than aiming and shooting...... But in fact, on the contrary, it is very difficult to become a sniper, excellent eyesight, psychological quality, patience, judgment...... These are just the foundations of the basics.
For example, if you are given a sniper rifle and then told you how to use it, you can shoot a fixed target 500 meters away, it is a thing that has nothing to do with luck, as for the bull's-eye...... Will you go to zero? Do you calculate wind speed? It's not a toy, it's not that simple.
Besides, how far is 500 meters? It may sound close, but in reality, 500 meters is equivalent to a building with more than 150 floors, and you can imagine what it is like to stand on the top of a 150-story building and look at the people at the bottom. And this distance, in the eyes of a real sniper, is simply pediatric, and he can even easily blow your head while you are running. In reality, the world's top snipers can often hit targets 2,000 meters away...... And the snipers who can reach this level without exception are all extremely talented.
In the sniper industry, there is no such thing as a stupid bird flying first.
Shooting at a distance of 2,000 meters is no longer something that can be done with excellent eyesight alone, and if you cannot predict external factors such as wind and gravity, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to shoot at a distance of 2,000 meters. Although this ability also accounts for part of experience, it is more of an ethereal feeling, and this feeling is talent.
If Sun Li hadn't lied, then Leng Tong would definitely be a world-class sniper!
Sun Li was very satisfied with Zhang Yu's surprise, and said with a light smile: "Hehe, as for the weakest "Green Rain"...... How to put it, this is a very strange team. When Sun Li put her hand down from Zhang Yu's shoulder, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and her fingertips lightly scratched Zhang Yu's neck, which made Zhang Yu instinctively tilt his head back and touch his neck in embarrassment. And Sun Li laughed "choppy" and teased: "I didn't expect you to be a very sensitive handsome guy...... Hey, what's wrong? ”
"The strange "Green Rain" team ......" the weak Hao Tu reminded in a whisper.
"Uh-oh." Sun Li touched Hao Tu's hair with the appearance of an eldest sister, but Hao Tu didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and let him wantonly destroy his hairstyle.
After a while, it wasn't until Hao Tu's hair was messed up that Sun Li was satisfied and continued to speak: "Although the name of this team seems to be very poetic, in fact, there is not a single woman in their team, all of them are big men, and most importantly, they are all reinforcement ...... You're also a reinforcement system, so you should be able to imagine what the four enhancement apostles would be like in one piece once a battle broke out...... That's why we prefer to call "Green Rain" "Hulk Braindead Squad". ”
"Hulk...... Hmm......" Zhang Yu pondered for a while, feeling as if he had also been affected.
At this time, Belle, who had been shrinking behind Zhang Yu, finally couldn't help it, and secretly whispered: "Yu, Brother Yu, what is the Hulk?" ”
"How so...... Well, a terrifying creature that can blow a spaceship with one punch......"
"Oh." Belle nodded as if she didn't understand, not daring to speak.
Belle's restraint was something that could not be helped, and it must have been the first time she had seen so many apostles, and that fear was difficult to get rid of in a short period of time. In the eyes of the original inhabitants of the Thirteen Domains, the apostle is an absolutely lofty existence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a savior.
"By the way, Captain Zhou Fan, can I take a look at that "Covenant"? After chatting for a while, Zhang Yu asked.
The other people were stunned for a moment, then understood what Zhang Yu meant, and laughed in unison.
Zhou Fan's left hand flickered, a slightly rolled parchment appeared in his hand, he stared at Zhang Yu's eyes with a serious expression for a while, and then spoke: "I hope that our team will add a reliable teammate, and I also hope that our team can satisfy you." ”
With that, he handed the parchment to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu understood that this should be the "Covenant", and he took it and took a look, and sure enough, there were two big words "Covenant" on the top of this parchment, and there was a slight halo circulating on the font, which looked extremely magical.
As for the content, it is also simple and clear, those who sign the covenant are not allowed to voluntarily leave the team to which the person who issued the covenant belongs within one year, and the violators will be erased.
At the bottom of this paper, there is a red fingerprint.
"It should be okay to press a handprint, right?" Zhang Yu put the thumb of his right hand to his lips and asked.
Zhou Fan nodded.
Zhang Yu no longer hesitated, and then bit his thumb and pressed it next to the red fingerprint on the parchment.
With the press of his finger, the parchment suddenly shone brightly, and soon turned into pieces of light and scattered, and finally disappeared. At the same time, a series of voices that could not distinguish between men and women sounded in Zhang Yu's mind.
"Hint, you've joined the League of Legends team and signed an alliance...... Please abide by the relevant regulations of the Covenant and do not break the ......"
"Note, since you joined a team, the main quest will automatically convert to the main quest of the team during the party period, and the team quest has a chance to be upgraded to a team battle quest......"
"Hint, your team is an ordinary team, and the altar core currently mastered is the 1137 altar core and the 621 altar core, which are in the Lucheng of the Insect Domain and the ancient castle outside Lanyue City in the Blood Domain, and the specific location can be queried in the Rui Brain ......"
"Reminder: Team members are forbidden to fight each other in non-team battle missions, and violators are obliterated...... At present, "League of Legends has a total of six members, and the specific information of the members can be queried on the ...... of Rui Brain"
