Chapter XVII. Competitive Tasks

There were more than 400 gladiator slaves who escaped from Bardax Manor, as well as a few handymen in the manor. Of course, there were also some slaves who were reluctant to follow the rebels, and these people stayed outside the manor in a daze, watching the Bardax manor turn into a huge bonfire.

The escaped gladiators walked briskly in front of Bardax Manor, the only trail leading to the bottom of the mountain, talking excitedly to each other, and the whole team was pulled into a loose formation of long snakes.

Venting the hatred and resentment that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time, the gladiators gradually liberated their hearts from the hell of enslavement. Discussions and gossip with each other are respectful and tolerant of others, and there is no aggressiveness on the training ground, they respect others and want to be respected by others.

"Freedom", a wonderful term, is like magic that transforms most of them, turning the cruel and cold-blooded gladiators of the arena into a group of gentlemen for a while.

Most of the escaped gladiators carried a short sword or iron farming implement, while others who did not have weapons had to use the weapons of their companions to sharpen a wooden spear or stick for themselves. Most of the handymen who escaped from the manor carried large bags and small bags, a small number of which were their personal belongings, and more were valuables from the manor, such as silver tableware, candlesticks, gold and silver jewelry of female members of the Bardax family, and so on.

When the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, the rebel team had just staggered to the foot of the cliff where Bardax Manor was located, and a reminder message came from the soul imprints of Xu Mo and the other six reincarnations at the same time:

"Samsara 228, you have entered the point of the intersection of the two superstring spaces - the Spartan world Spartan calendar in the spring of 238 in February of the Fiblum Festival, the two superstring spaces currently have a collision, and the fusion of the laws of the intersection of time and space has begun to ......"

"Hint: From this moment on, the reincarnators of the two superstring spaces have all entered the Spartan mirror world, the world tasks of the two spaces intersect, the original main quest is abolished, and the reincarnation only needs to explore the world plot during the integration period of the two space laws."

"Hint: The fusion period of the intersection of the superstring space is completed in about 1-3 months from the indigenous time of the mirror world, and after the fusion period is over, the reincarnator must exit the mirror world within three days. When the reincarnation explores the world story, there is a possibility that competing surname quests will be generated, and the space will give additional rewards according to the number and quality of competing surname quests when the reincarnation exits the mirror world. ”

"Samsara 228, your original main quest: Freedom, has been abolished, and the main quest side quest: Bardax Revolt has been changed to the competitive surname mission: Bardax Revolt."

"Bardax Revolt (C+ level): Bardax Manor must escape more than fifty manor slaves, the task must be completed within the period of spatial law fusion, task reward: 10,000 credits, 12 skill points, no failure penalty for competing surname tasks."

Although the prompt information from the soul mark was very shocking, Xu Mo was only slightly surprised, not very moved.

"My lord, how can this be?" Herrington and Jeanne didn't bother to use the soul mark to send a message, and they all came to Max's side and asked in a shocked whisper.

Max looked back at Xu Mo and saw Xu Mo nodding at him, then he showed a smile and said, "You don't need to panic, the current situation is still under control, besides, I am not the leader of this team......"

"He is Tang Feng in the King of Fighters world? That Tang Feng who fought Terry in the opening match of the KOF Fighting Tournament? Herrington looked at Xu Mo in awe. Helrington is a veteran reincarnation and has also entered the King of Fighters world, but Jeanna does not know the strength represented by Tang Feng's identity.

"Tang Feng is just my code name in the King of Fighters world, you can call me Old K!" Xu Mo said lightly.

"Old K?" This time, Jeanne was shocked.

"You know me?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed.

"No, Master K, I've heard rumors about you from other senior reincarnators!" Jeanne hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, you're lucky that you didn't choose to leave like those three fools, in fact, everything that happens now is in the boss's hands. Not long after the boss entered the Spartan world, he discovered that there was a scam in the mission issued to us by the space......" Serna smiled and flattered Xu Mo.

As Serna spoke, Herrington and Jeanne immediately understood. In fact, the psychological scam set by the space is very simple, but the reincarnator has become accustomed to accepting the tasks released by the space, and then working hard to complete the tasks.

The fundamental purpose of the superstring space is to maintain the normal operation of each cosmic space-time, so it is necessary to revise the historical plots of some main material worlds and mirror worlds. To achieve this goal, it is not only necessary to have a special soul and be able to freely enter and exit the reincarnation of other worlds, but also to understand and explore the various historical plots and world laws of these worlds.

The superstring space where Xu Mo and the others are located is a nascent space, and the degree of exploration of various mirror worlds is almost zero. Therefore, if the reincarnator gets the World Exploration and Uncounted Atlas Specimens, the space will give a more generous reward than the ordinary world quest. And the world missions currently released by this superstring space are basically based on guidance, and the reincarnators can choose from a variety of camps, so that they can get more world exploration in the confrontation with each other.

After Xu Mo and the others entered the Spartan world, they received the main quest, which was also a kind of guidance, but because the two superstring spaces were about to partially converge in the Spartan world, there was inevitably a psychological deception or psychological suggestion implied in this main quest.

In fact, the main quest "Freedom" that Xu Mo and the others received was almost an incompleteable world task. Xu Mo was a Spartan, Max was a German, Herrington was a Gaul, Serna was an Iberian, and Dinah was a rare Mithridian.

Sparta was in Greece, Germanism was north of Rome, Gaul was in present-day France, Iberia was Spain, Mithrida was in Asia Minor, present-day Turkey was in North Africa. This kind of main quest that divides the entire team of reincarnators, and each person's task is completed in a different place, not to mention that they are about to face other reincarnators in the competing surname mission.

After Xu Mo learned about this situation, he immediately understood that this main quest was just a transitional guide before the collision of the two superstring spaces. The purpose of the spatial psychological scam is very clear, that is, to use strong survival pressure to allow the reincarnators to use their racial identity to unite all the plot forces that can be united before the task of competing for the surname comes.

As for the content of the main quest itself, it doesn't need the reincarnator to actually complete it, once the two superstring spaces begin to converge, this main quest will disappear, and the half-year-long quest time is actually already a disguised reminder of the reincarnation.

"My lord, then, we just need to keep this gladiator uprising firmly in control now, right?" Hellington asked respectfully, "Should we have the other three companions who escaped in the arena come and join us?" ”

"Those three? Hehe, Helrington, haven't you noticed that the racial identity of those three people is completely different from ours? Serna interjected with a sneer, "Their ethnic identity is Roman!" ”

"What?" Herington and Jeanne were really scared this time.

"At first, I was just guessing, but when they did do what Matz told us to send us so many weapons and equipment, I was sure that they had already made contact with the Roman nobles in the city." Xu Mo shook his head and explained.

"Although they are also slaves, they are slaves of Roman commoners, and if betraying us can free them from slavery and control some of the power of the plot, why wouldn't they do it!" Max said with a sneer.

"It's just that they didn't expect that the boss would start an uprising in advance. If they had not colluded with the Roman aristocracy, and the weapons had only been collected by them from the black market, then they would not be in danger. If they really betrayed us to the Roman nobles, as the boss said, then after dawn, the Roman nobles who learned of the uprising would not let them go. Dina said with a smile.

"Even if they can escape and lose the opportunity to participate in the uprising, without the help of the Romans, the chances of surviving in the later competing missions are slim to none!" Serna calmly analyzed.

Cold sweat oozed from the backs of Hellington and Jeanne, and for the first time they experienced the feelings that Dinah, Max, and Serna had felt before, and felt the horror of Xu Mo.

Xu Mo's layout was explained afterwards, but it was actually very simple, as long as there was intelligence, they believed that they could also arrange it. But the terrible thing about Xu Mo is that when everyone chooses independently with their own will, they are also helping Xu Mo improve the layout. The whole layout is like a dense spider web, and the terrible thing is that this web is still woven by the prey itself.

Although this kind of layout, which is like spring rain moisturizing things, is very simple, because the choices and changes in the layout are formed by the reincarnators themselves, it is difficult for them to perceive the existence of the conspiracy. By the time they really realized it, the layout had come to an end, and it was irretrievable on their own.

While the crowd was sighing, a Spartan warrior approached them.

"Captain Arres, Omus, please come over and discuss our next trip!"
