CHAPTER IX

Coincidentally, among the staff members responsible for recruiting experience players here are acquaintances of the Clitos, Klein and Aegill, from Garth City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThey also donned the uniforms of the False Mask Church, and they looked decent.

Seeing Klito and Asner coming over with Yui, the two were stunned for a moment, and Klein asked in wonder, "You two also want to be experience players?"

"yes, let's try out the new game. ā€

"But...... This thing is for ordinary people who lack adventure experience to experience adventure. Scratching his head, Klein said, "The adventures it can provide are not even entertainment for you." ā€

Klein and Clito are also old friends, and Clito used to visit his hotel when he was in Gars City. Clito, who was dressed in black and haired and had a slight resemblance to his teacher, always ordered the lightest bottle of wine, some wholesome vegetables and fish, and sat in the corner and ate it slowly. Klein didn't know his identity, and was very curious about why this man looked so delicate and ate so delicately, and befriended him around the bush, and they became friends after coming and going.

Later, the two sides helped each other a few times, and the friendship was good. Klein was well aware of his friend's abilities, so he wondered.

"This is a test for ordinary people, and you don't meet the requirements. "Agil is more serious, and he looks like he is businessman.

Klito smiled, took a step to the side, and let his daughter stand in the middle: "Aisna and I don't meet the requirements, Yui always meets the requirements, right? ā€

"I'm just laying the groundwork!" Yu suddenly blushed and defended himself loudly, "It was the headmaster who asked me to learn the basics first......!

This is not nonsense, Yui has a good talent for magic, especially his control of magic, so it is easy to go down the path of casting spells entirely by feeling. Many people advocate this path, but Ferex is the headmaster of Isuka School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who scoffs at it. She has always emphasized that "the power that can be fully understood and mastered is the real power", and for a gifted child like Yui, more attention is paid to the education of the basic knowledge to ensure that she can walk on the right path.

This is certainly a good thing in the long run, but it makes Yui get off to a slower start than other magicians. Generally speaking, with her talent, she should be an excellent junior mage at this age, and maybe even close to the intermediate level, but she is only a trainee mage so far, and she can only do a little tricks at the entry level.

Because of Ferex's repeated emphasis and careful teaching, Yui was not dissatisfied with her learning progress, but when she talked about it in front of outsiders, she still couldn't help but blush a little shyly, and hurriedly defended herself.

Klein was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Then no problem, Miss Yui fully meets our requirements, you can come and test this new game system." ā€

Yui was tempted to pretend she didn't care, but a "whole new type of game" was tempting for the vast majority of young people in the Northwest Republics, and she was no exception.

After a moment's hesitation, she accepted the test, was accompanied by her mother, Asna, and a female cleric, changed into the protective suit needed for safety, and lay down in a transparent device that resembled a giant cylinder.

"I always feel that this game device is too ......" Clito looked at his daughter who was lying in the transparent cylinder, wearing a breathing mask, and her body was gradually submerged in protective fluid, and said with some concern, "The cost is too high, can it really be popularized?"

In the past few years, he has followed Leon to learn swords, and he has come into contact with high-level people and things, and his horizons have been greatly broadened. The cylinder and the equipment inside are worth a lot of money at a glance, and it is not easy to popularize it!

"I didn't plan to spread it. Klein replied, "Your Majesty's oracle says that He will personally make hundreds of such devices and place them in temples everywhere. It only takes about two or three experiences for an average person to become familiar with most common dangerous situations, and then ...... Unless you're looking for a thrill, there's no need to experience it anymore. ā€

Clito then understood, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "In that case, what is the point of making this thing?"

"The oracle says that it is to correct everyone's misconception of 'fear'. Klein recounted Sui Xiong's original words, "Fear is not a threat, but an instinctive reaction when people feel danger, and it is beneficial and can effectively help people avoid risks." An experienced adventurer will never be easily afraid, and once he is afraid, he will be doubly careful, and even retreat directly, for them, fear is not an enemy, but a helper. Only those who are inexperienced in taking risks, those who have not really been exposed to enough danger, will be fearful and flustered. This virtual reality experience system is to allow ordinary people to be exposed to danger, eliminate those meaningless fears, and improve the attitude of the whole society towards fear. ā€

Klito frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand what His Majesty the Void Mask meant, so he had to turn his head to look at his wife.

His wife Asna's swordsmanship is not as good as his, but his brain is much more flexible than his, and whenever he encounters something he can't figure out, his first reaction is to ask his wife for help. And Asner never let him down, her idea may not be very good, but at least it is certainly much more reliable than Clito's own.

This time was no exception, and after a little thought, Asna understood what Sui Xiong meant.

"Your Majesty the Void Mask is about to reinvent the 'fear' priesthood!" she exclaimed, seeing that everyone still didn't seem to understand, so she had to explain in detail, "You all remember, right? More than ten years ago, Your Majesty punished the God of Fear and imprisoned him in the Sacred Tree. Now that he has fallen, and the priesthood of fear has been stripped away, His Majesty wants to adjust the world's perception of fear and reshape this priesthood. ā€

"But...... What's the use of that?" asked Clito.

"I don't know very well, maybe Your Majesty wants to cultivate a good-this is unlikely, but at least it should be the god of fear in the neutral camp. ā€

"Is this good for Your Majesty?" asked Klein.

ā€œ...... When has we, Your Majesty, ever asked such a cheesy question as 'benefits'?" Asner asked rhetorically.

Everyone thought about it and couldn't help but laugh.

His Majesty the Void Mask has always done things unexpectedly, and analyzing him with the theory of interests will only make him dizzy.

This is by no means to say that he is unpredictable, in fact, everyone who has met this majesty knows that he is easy-going and easy to get along with, and even if you joke with him, he will only laugh, not anger.

However, He was a jellyfish after all.

The way of thinking of jellyfish is still different from that of human beings.

This is the conclusion reached by many self-proclaimed smart scholars and strategists in the world after being slapped in the face by Sui Xiong's strange ideas and practices countless times.

His Majesty the Void Mask is very different from ordinary gods, and he has a unique way of thinking that cannot be guessed by common sense. Fortunately, he is sure of one thing after all - he is a god of the good camp, no matter what he thinks, he will not use it to harm people, and even if he wants to do it, he will only harm those who are vicious and vicious.

This has been determined by his numerous past achievements.

Unless someone else dies to trouble Him, it must be the wicked who suffer when He takes the initiative, with rare exceptions.

Of course, He sometimes does things that are puzzling, and even when it comes to fighting evil, many of His methods are confusing, but anyway, the ending is good, and that's enough.

Yes, in this world, whether it is a person or a god, after all, everything is done by looking at the result, not the process.

Everyone laughed happily when they thought about it.

And in the virtual world, Yui can't laugh at all.

She never imagined that this virtual reality experience game would turn her into an ordinary adventurer, and with a few friends, go to investigate inside a supposedly haunted castle.

Yui is afraid of ghosts!

She didn't have to repeat it three times, because the more she said it, the more scared she became.

She didn't know why, but she was just afraid, afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts.

Principal Ferex has said that this is because she lacks real adventure experience. When she is successful in her magic studies, she will be arranged to train with a reliable adventurer team for a while.

"I was also afraid of these things back then, but after I experienced more, I naturally wasn't afraid. Ferex said.

But Yuy doesn't want to "experience too much" at all!

Such a terrible thing, such a terrible thing, it is too much to experience at once!

"I wouldn't have come if I had known it was haunted......" she muttered, "what is there to find out!"

"I know that, too, but we're short of money. One of his companions with a short bow heard her complaining, sighed, and said, "If you don't make some money, you'll be going to sleep in the wilderness." ā€

"And this task is already relatively safe. Another cleric with a metal staff said, "After all, this place is haunted, but no one has ever died. In contrast, exterminating wolves and expelling goblins is too dangerous for us rookies. ā€

Hearing this, Yui's face became even more ugly.

That's right, their adventure team is composed of a group of rookies at the "apprentice" level.

Trainee Knight, Trainee Ranger, Trainee Warrior, Trainee Mage, and Trainee Priest.

It's all apprenticeship level.

What is a "trainee"? That is, the person has learned some skills corresponding to a certain trade, but he has only just started and is still far from being proficient.

Apprentice Knight, which means that he is able to wield his weapon in full armor and will certainly not slash himself, but it is better for his companions to stay away from him, as he may accidentally injure him.

Apprentice Ranger means that he can use a bow or crossbow, shoot an average of two shots at a distance of twenty to thirty paces, and may have learned a little bit of fur tracking.

A trainee warrior means that he knows how to use long and short weapons and shields, and can defeat a wolf or a goblin one-on-one, and that's it.

Trainee mage, Yui himself, knows a few tricks, can play a little auxiliary role, and the direct combat effectiveness is about zero.

The probationary pastor is almost the most valuable of all the probationary priests, after all, he is already able to heal. And the priest himself also has a certain melee ability, so as not to drag the whole team back.

Yui thought about it, and suddenly found that he seemed to be the shortcoming of the entire team, and it was precisely the one who was dragging his feet...... (To be continued.) )
