When the system speaks in a mechanical voice that seems to have no feelings, every sentence is very serious, and it is not true or false like usual, and most of it is a joke, and it may also contain evil intentions. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info is as if when it comes to "systems", a switch is flipped and the system switches to a different form entirely.

This is an empirical law that Brunei has summed up for a long time, and he cannot understand the mechanism of action, and can only put forward some vague and unreliable conjectures, such as that the system must obey certain rules when using power. However, the inability to understand the principle does not prevent human beings from recognizing things and making use of them.

The system uses that tone to give Brunei the content of the task, and the rewards and punishments that follow. In all fairness, Brunei is a pragmatic person who has no interest in the so-called "an unexpected surprise", but the so-called punishment for failure can really give Brunei a headache.

Although he repeatedly stressed to himself that he could not rely too much on the system, this "special skill system" was too convenient, and what it could achieve was something that Brunei could not achieve on its own. In other words, in essence, the verification is no different from the original if it fails, and if it succeeds, it is equivalent to a good thing earned for nothing.

And whether it's observing, stealing, dodging, and being in places where there may be danger everywhere, it's a very valuable ability.

If it really bears the penalty of 20 points for all tests within 24 hours, Brunei will be in a very dangerous state during that time. On the other hand, it seems that carrying out the mission only slows them down.

Brunei carefully recalled the thirty-eight tasks that had been systematically issued without a reward and punishment mechanism, so he ignored them. Admittedly, there are some tasks like item 38, which imply some kind of unpleasant information like a school of fish, but none of them are dangerous, and more importantly, all of them can be heard from the description.

"He is a genius with an intelligence of up to 90. The words that the system had said many times rang in his head again, only this time it didn't seem to be the system, but the echo in his head.

Brunei chewed on every word the system had said before, and then suddenly smiled: "That's right, no problem." ”

Once you've made up your mind to go on a mission, the rest is much easier.

Originally, Brunei felt that under the condition that he could break away from the empire and no longer have to live the unfortunate life of fear in the deep mountains and old forests, the bald head would probably express his dissatisfaction with Brunei's strange proposal. However, Brunei just retold the nonsense about homesickness that the system said when the task was issued, and the bald head nodded as if understanding, and said that he wanted to accompany Brunei Si.

Unlike the rugged image, the bald head is actually a very emotional and kind person, and Brunei recognizes this once again.

The "Erta Village" mentioned by the system, after comparing it on the map, found that it was the closest village to their current location. There are no unnecessary obstacles in this regard, and it seems that the system may really just want to try out the "task system" gameplay like a child who has just gotten a new toy.

After carefully studying the route, they did not encounter any imperial outposts on the way out of the Endless Mountains, avoiding unnecessary strife and incident. After entering the Empire, both the bald head and the Brunei wore the tightly wrapped black robes they remembered the federal guild would wear to conceal their physical features, as well as the magic emblem on the bald head's hands.

So, about a day after receiving the task.

“...... This place and the village of Taal seem to have more than just a name. Looking at the stone buildings that I hadn't seen for a long time, the familiar style and layout made Brunei, who had no feeling before, suddenly feel a little emotional.

The hood of the bald head trembled, and it seemed to nod: "The empire is about uniform and standardized in the process of construction. You didn't go with me when I went to buy supplies like salt, otherwise you could see that every village is pretty much the same. ”

"Hmm. Somehow, after listening to the bald head's words, the melancholy nostalgia that had just risen in Brunei's heart faded a lot, and after responding thoughtfully, he looked ahead and said, "Anyway, since you're here, let's go over and have a look." ”

The bald head did not move forward, but stopped, grabbed Brunei's shoulder, and said in a very serious voice: "Before that, I have to emphasize it again." We were travelers from the north, and according to the tradition here, it would be fine to call us merchants. You know what?"

Brunei didn't look back, but just replied: "You've said it many times." When facing the village chief, even though the other party is a mage who is far more powerful than us, as long as he doesn't show his timidity, he can say anything. First, he can't judge our strength or weakness, and second, the Federal Merchants are also a very important means of trading for such a closed village, right?"

The bald head coughed heavily: "Cough!"

Brunei stopped at this time, was stunned, and suddenly said: "By the way, we must say 'business' whenever we communicate." This is a sign that we, as Federalists, are subservient to the Empire and willing to abide by the rules here. ”

The bald head let go of his shoulders and spoke a little more relaxed: "Hmm." It's good that you're so smart that we can come so fast. You know? When that senior taught me the rules of conduct for adventurers in the Empire, I studied it for more than ten days, and finally the senior was so angry that I almost threw me into the mountains. ”

"Haha. Brunei responded with a merry laugh. The reason why he didn't let out a sincere laugh at the jokes that the bald head habitually laughed at himself was mainly because his head was almost exploding before the bald man's words fell.

[Hahahahahaha......ha Finally, when Brunei couldn't bear to scold the system for 300 rounds in his heart, the system's laughter finally slowed down, and he spoke in a breathless voice.

[Aha...... Ha ha...... I'm sorry...... Ha ha. It's really ...... The bald joke, it's so funny...... Hahaha!]

There is no doubt that the system is. So why does the system laugh so happily?

Brunei didn't even think about it before the answer came out of his mind, he was going to be unlucky.

Brunei Darussalam, who smelled something bad from the abnormal performance of the system, stopped. But just as he was still thinking about what to say to tell the bald head that he suddenly didn't want to go again, the bald head suddenly stopped, stared at the village with wide eyes, and showed a look of surprise and confusion. "What's going on?" he suddenly exclaimed, and ran towards the village.

Brunei screamed, but the bald head didn't seem to hear it, his face was a little bitter, he shook his head and sighed, and ran along. Since there is no option to leave the bald head and hug the mouse, at the very least, he should see what is wrong.

Ahead, Brunei's familiar flat-roofed square huts. The exterior of the stone is made of white, but because the stone used is not very regular, it actually looks quite colorful. Each of the little roofs was covered with a great deal of thatch, like the long hair on the head of a raunchy man. In the past, Brunei lived in such a house, owning the entire building by himself, which was perhaps the greatest benefit that his parents left after they left home.

The huts were not very neatly arranged, and the uneven stones barely paved with a zigzag what was called a road. Surrounded by large farmlands, Brunei and bald heads are now running on the ridges.

Everything was exactly the same as Brunei's impression of the imperial countryside that he had stayed in for sixteen years, and he didn't hear any sounds, it seems that Brunei himself can't see what the bald head can see, or it depends on the system.

【Okay.】 So, observe the verification-]

"Wait, there's no sound?" Brunei suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyes widened, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

Hell, the system cursed in Brunei's mind in a very small voice, interrupting its cold narration, but it continued with almost no pause, and the two oddly shaped dice in front of him began to spin again, which made Bruneith wonder if the sound was delusional.

[1<60, a big success. The village will look very familiar to you, and the layout of each house will seem to be exactly like the Taal village where you once lived, and you can even see the houses corresponding to the place you once lived in. Because of this, in the midday sun, you can easily see that something is not normal. 】

[There is no one in the fields, on the village road, or in every window you can see. 】

With the words of the system, the heart of the running Brunei Darussalami was beating faster and faster, and there seemed to be a cold wind blowing behind him, and goosebumps all over his body stood up. He followed the system's prompts and looked at every place it mentioned, and as the system said, not only did he see no figures, but he also saw no trace of human activity.

"Ugh. He suddenly heard a muffled grunt in front of him, and hurriedly looked in, but it was pitch black.

It took him a while to react, and it turned out that he had unknowingly bumped into the back of the bald head that had stopped walking.

Emerging from the black robes that were a little hot from the sun, Brunei realized that they had run to the entrance of the village.

It is said to be the entrance of the village, but in fact, it is a small road sandwiched between the outermost two houses. The originally ordinary rural scene, without the slightest popularity, added a bit of gloomy chill for no reason, it was clearly the scorching sun, but Brunei felt colder and colder. Is this a conspiracy of the system? Brunei couldn't help but think.

"Bruneisi, have you noticed?" The bald voice was also a little dry****** Leth replied in a low voice: "...... If you're talking about no one here. ”

"Gollum. He could clearly hear the bald head swallowing saliva, and it was clear that the bald head was as frightened by the anomaly as he was, which made Brunei seriously consider whether to make a suggestion to go back quickly.

The bald head did not wait for him to speak, but raised his foot high and stepped down, as if performing some kind of ritual, and walked into the confines of the village. Everything was still quiet, nothing was happening.

The bald head walked to the door and shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

After waiting for more than ten seconds and hearing no response, he raised his hand and shouted again, and at the same time went to knock on the door.

Before I could think about it, as soon as my hand was on the door, the door was pushed open, and the bald head stumbled into the empty space with all of a sudden. Brunei hurriedly followed, taking a step forward.

[The village of Darta has never left the territory of the Empire. The nostalgia of the hometown, the task is completed. 】

[Mission rewards will be distributed later, so stay tuned.] 】
