In the past year, a small country that has trade relations with the Floating City has been repeatedly invaded by the Worm Emperor. The Bug Emperor is another big boss in the game, and its power is no less than that of the legendary Cursed Dragon, and even more so in terms of influence alone. It has countless subordinates, and it has been entrenched in the swampy plains of the southern part of the continent all year round, and has not been successfully defeated by humans since it appeared hundreds of years ago. However, as a boss, it is naturally for players to brush - in the game, there is an epic quest chain called 'Crusade against the Insect Emperor'.

Hu Yu still remembered the specific details of this quest chain, the Worm Emperor suddenly became restless after hundreds of years of stability, several cities and countries near the Worm Emperor's territory were attacked, and the player accepted the task and prepared to go to the crusade against the Worm Emperor. Although the quest is simple, it is absolutely impossible for the player to win if they go directly to the dungeon - and this is the difficulty of this quest. Players will need to seek help from various nations and factions, and once they have gathered their war-level forces, they will have to make this crusade a success. Depending on the reputation of each region, the help that players can receive will vary, and the rewards for completing the mission will also increase; And the Floating City is one of them.

When Hu Yu himself was doing this task, he also came to the Floating City, and then got the support of the nobleman in the city, Duke Cowles, who himself fully supported the crusade against the Insect Emperor, but there were also some conservatives in the city who thought it was not worth paying too much for it. At that time, Hu Yu didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was just part of the mission; However, combined with what Carl said, Hu Yu basically understood what was going on. It turns out that their Karl family is the conservative in the mission.

in this world. The task of crusading against the Insect Emperor was also put on the agenda by some forces. Naturally, the rich and powerful floating city was not left untouched. It's just that Hu Yu himself changed his position. From the main battle faction to the conservative faction.

In the game, the player is a well-known adventurer, and he needs at least level 55 to take on the task, and in that world, he can be regarded as a well-known powerhouse; The information I came into contact with was also from the main battle faction. According to the main battle faction, the infested small country is the main source of the Floating City's grain trade, if not supported. I'm afraid that not only them, but even the floating city will suffer a lot of losses. In addition, the Insect Emperor's power has been a disaster for a long time, and if it can be eradicated once, it will definitely be a good thing for ordinary people on the mainland, so this crusade will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

In Carl Jr.'s mouth, this war is another matter - it is difficult to say whether it can be won or not, and even if the crusade is successful, the floating city may suffer a lot of losses. In this case, it is not only possible to be taken advantage of by the necromancer, who is a sworn enemy. Those small countries that are free of the threat of the Worm Emperor will also weaken their cooperation and dependence on the Floating City; Therefore, it is not beneficial to go to war directly.

I don't know if it's because the position is different from the point of interest. Or is it because the difficulty of the crusade has increased greatly after the lack of player help, in short, in the mouth of Carl Jr., this is how things were. These things are not a big deal, Hu Yu is not surprised by his words, now he is not a gamer, compared to the upper echelons of the Floating City, he is just an ordinary person. The question of whether to fight or not is obviously not something he can control; Now, as a member of the Carl family, I have to do everything I can to help. On the contrary, when Carl Xiao talked about their identities, he startled Hu Yu.

Little Karl's family has long since left the floating city, and the relationship with the family is not very close; As a non-core family member, his status in this incident is not important. The reason why he was so determined to stay in the floating city was to hide it from the eyes and ears - it was the little maid who played a decisive role in this incident, and even made the Karl family stay even if they had a dispute with the church.

"My name is Olivia, and I'm an elf." The little maid introduced herself.

"Elves?"

"Well, I'm a friend of the Karl family master, and I have just completed a three-month reconnaissance on the Worm Emperor's territory this time under his commission, and I have enough evidence to convince the council, and I need to bring it back to the Floating City." The little maid untied her belt, and her long flowing blonde hair fell down like a waterfall, revealing her little pointed ears, "So this time I bothered everyone to come to the Floating City together just to hide my whereabouts - I'm really sorry for not telling everyone in advance." ”

"It doesn't matter, the more people know, the more dangerous it is, and if you keep it secret, it's good for us." Hu Yu then asked, "But speaking of which, why are you in our city?" Are you in any danger? ”

"Because he was seriously injured, he didn't return to the floating city immediately, but recuperated there for a while;" Olivia frowned, "It's just that for some reason, my whereabouts seem to have been detected by some overly radical main battle factions; That kidnapping incident was directed at me. ”

"Coming at you?"

Carl Jr. explained, "They wanted my father to hand over Miss Olivia and kidnapped my sister. Fortunately, I was bumped into by you, otherwise my sister would have been more than lucky. ”

After the two explained, Hu Yu also understood what was going on. I still remember that when I was on a mission, I had the constraints of convincing the parliament before the conservatives got key information, but I didn't expect this to be the case. Although there are still a few days left in the final voting date, it is still too far to go back six days after all, and this is why the Carl family has to let little Carl take the risk to stay.

Now that he understands what is going on, it is time for Hu Yu to show his worth. A moment later, the big names of the Carl family arrived, and most of them were having a secret conversation with Olivia, but there was also an elder in the family who summoned Carl Jr. and Hu Yu.

In order to prove his worth, Hu Yu immediately 'analyzed' some arguments that the main battle faction might come up with to this elder, although in order to prevent too much knowledge and was not full of words, but Xiao Carl and the elder also saw the value of Hu Yu's analysis.

The elder was very appreciative of Hu Yu's plan, and sued the head of the family; And the head of the family also promised Hu Yu, as long as Hu Yu's analysis was not problematic, after it was over, he would help Hu Yu to fight for the right to use the 'Gate of the Other World' from the church. Hu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. Another plan was immediately proposed; He 'guessed' that the main battle faction would cooperate with a mercenary organization. In order to sabotage this plan. He asked him to reveal the specific strength of the Insect Emperor to this mercenary organization, asking them to give up their cooperation with the main battle faction.

The plan was decided. Hu Yu settled down here, and the people of the Carl family were operating at full strength - a day later, as soon as Hu Yu completed the breakthrough of a high-level warrior with the help of the 'system', he saw little Carl rushing into his room with a happy face: "It has been investigated that the mercenary guild in the city is indeed secretly in contact with Duke Cowles' people,"

"And then?"

"Someone has been sent to make contact with them."

It's really exactly the same as in the game. Thinking so, Hu Yu nodded: "That's good." It's best not to let them find out. ”

"Naturally, there are arrangements at home."

The task is progressing well, and Hu Yu's mood is getting better and better. It seems that it is only a matter of time before this task is completed - in the game, with the participation of players and the help of the plot, the conservatives are missing the key bargaining chip of Olivia, and the decision to go to war is only approved by the council; Now that these conditions have been rewritten, there is absolutely no chance that the conservatives will fail, as long as they continue to develop like this. But Hu Yu didn't have to do anything, just wait for the task to be completed.

After chatting about the family's plans, Carl invited Hu Yu to play chess. Hu Yu was about to agree. But he thought that in another day it would be time for the curse to take effect, and he would face the pursuit of the cursed dragon for the next four days; Just broke through the high-level fighters. It's better to go to the suburbs to practice now. Thinking so, Hu Yu proposed to go hunting in the suburbs, but Carl Jr. did not object, and immediately agreed.

Accompanied by several top church guards and fellow members of the Karl family, the crowd arrived on the outskirts of the Floating City. The floating city itself is just a large piece of land floating in the sky, its own area is not large, and there are no monsters on the island; However, because it is located at a high altitude, you can encounter a lot of flying creatures near the border, and it just so happens that Carl Jr. has a cousin who is a hunter after a job transfer, and his archery skills are exquisite.

At noon, a bonfire was set up in the suburbs to roast a bird to eat. Carl Jr. went to collect firewood with a few cousins, and a knight from the church chatted with Hu Yu.

"I heard you're also a Traveler from another world?"

Hu Yu was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

The knight realized that he was a little rude, and hurriedly said, "Is it your secret?" I'm sorry, but I just heard it by chance. ”

"It's no secret." Hu Yu scratched his head, "It's just how do you know?" ”

"I listened to the Mage Guild."

“……”

Although Hu Yu did not hide this matter, he did not take the initiative to publicize it - after all, the expression is too unique, and he may be caught and slice by a madman from another world one day. However, Hu Yu himself will not take the initiative to mention it, which does not mean that others will take the initiative to keep secrets. He had consulted Magister Murray, who was passing through the town, about this, but this Magister was a big mouth; Not only did they tell Carl about it, but they also made the entire Mage Guild know about it—and now that others know about it, it's obviously the master's credit. Thinking of this person, Hu Yu had a black line, but he suddenly remembered another sentence that the knight had just said.

"You just said 'too'...... Could it be that there are other travelers from other worlds? ”

The knight said, "I have also heard that there is a very famous adventurer in the southern region, who seems to have come from another world. ”

"A well-known adventurer?"

"It's the famous swordsman known as the 'Blade of Morning Light', and it is said that he has recently been in our floating city."

Hu Yu's heart is getting more and more strange - the blade of morning light? Isn't that an achievement title in the game?

"I'm not sure if it's a rumor, but you can ask him." "It seems that he is staying with the Grand Duke of Cowles for the time being, and some of us in the Order have seen him." ”

Hearing this, Hu Yu couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, vaguely as if he remembered something bad, but he couldn't say why. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the forest, and a miserable scream came. (To be continued......)
