Chapter 50: The Toll War (Part II)
It didn't take long for me to be separated from Niu Million, and the news of the impending arrival of the Blighted Lands spread to every corner of the continent of Falvi. It seemed as if overnight, everyone knew that our homeland was about to be baptized with flesh and fire again. However, it is reassuring to know that these young warriors, who are determined to protect the land and resist the invaders, did not flinch because of the strength of the enemy; On the contrary, they showed surprisingly high morale, as if they couldn't wait for those evil guys to show up sooner, looking forward to their death as a demonstration of their bravery and glory.
As with all the strange events that take place on this continent, the Void Seekers who travel between the planes have given it a new and quirky term for the post-apocalyptic invasion: Merge Servers. As I understand it, this so-called "server" may be what we commonly call a "parallel plane". The Blighted Lands broke down the plane's barriers and connected to our world, which meant that the two "servers" were merged.
In fact, for the many Skywader adventurers who walk this world, the invasion of the Apocalyptic Empire is really not a very serious problem, at least as far as I know, for them, there is at least one more serious thing than that:
Charge to operate!
I heard this utterly unfamiliar word from two unfamiliar air waders, who were walking ahead of me on their way to the weapons shop. Halfway down the road, the dwarf wanderer said to his fellow dwarven ranger angrily:
"This Saturday, Daremoth will operate for a fee, and it has only been a free public beta for two months and it has started to make money, and I really ****** crazy about money."
The dwarf looked more calm, and he sighed lightly and said, "Just charge for it, it's a big deal not to play." The paid game is the rake of Darimos for money. There are so many free games nowadays, if you don't play this, there is something else. ”
Hearing him say that, the dwarf who said it before lost his noisy temper, and shook his head in frustration: "Forget it, just charge it, who made it really good." There are really not a few games on the market that have such realistic sensing effects as this one. After playing this, I went to play something else, and I always felt very fake and boring. ”
On this issue, his fellow dwarves decided the exact opposite of him: "I won't play anymore." It's not worth spending money on playing games. With that spare money, it's better to buy more clothes for your wife. ”
"Hey, are you married?" The gnome wanderer asked in surprise.
"Married, I don't know if my mother-in-law was born or not......"
"Then what clothes do you buy for your wife?"
"Because I don't have a wife, I have to save money to buy clothes for my future wife, which is called having food in my hands and not panicking. If you already have a wife, who would bother with that? Have you ever seen a fool feeding bait to a fish you've already caught? ”
His words made the dwarf wanderer break out in a cold sweat, and he smiled bitterly and gave a thumbs up to the dwarf: "Gao Jian, Gao Jian...... Then I'll say goodbye to you here, and I wish you to find a wife who can help you spend money as soon as possible......"
When they said that, I turned a fork in the road. I really don't know much about what they are saying, but listening to what they mean, it seems that this "paid operation" will add a lot of obstacles to the arrival of these space-seekers into this plane, and perhaps many people will not return here for this reason, and it is not anyone else who has decided to do so, but it is the decision of our omnipresent and omnipotent supreme god Darimos.
What I saw and heard since then confirmed my suspicions, and more and more people complained that this "toll operation" came too early, and the standard of charging was too high, saying that they would not come to the Falvi continent again.
I don't know who is "charging" these people who travel freely, and what they are "operating", I only know that these four seemingly ordinary words are now like a spoonful of hot oil soup poured on the head, making the whole continent boil and panic. This is really not good news for the Falvi continent, which is about to face a strong enemy. All I can say is that it is not a good time for His Majesty the Great Supreme God to choose to assert his authority in such a way at such a time.
The threat of "charging" is actually greater than that of "war", forcing so many people directly to the end of their departure, cutting off their hope of returning to the continent of Falvi, which I never imagined. In addition to being shocked, I also had a ridiculous thought in my heart, I don't know what will happen to the group of invaders in the last empire:
If all the space-seekers who travel through the plane of time and space to the continent of Farvi have to pay a high fee, if our supreme god Daremos builds a "toll booth" in every road from the withered land to the continent of Farvi, and charges according to the number of heads of the invading army, I am afraid that the army of the end king Darendier will be ruined as soon as he passes less than a tenth of the army. If you can really join like this, I'm afraid that those evil creatures in the Apocalyptic Empire will be frightened as soon as they hear the name "Falvi", and they will flee with their money bags in their hands, and what kind of "invasion" can they dare to talk about there?
Unfortunately, this is destined to be a good wish.
As time progressed, news of the invasion of the Empire of the End of the World followed. Initially, we only knew that the Blighted Lands would appear on the surface of the Comet Sea in the southeast, becoming a huge island; Soon after, we learned that the day after the arrival of the Blight, the invading army of the Apocalyptic Empire would reach the interior of the Falvi continent through a large magical teleportation channel, directly to the Vader Basin; Due to the scarcity of garrisons and weak resistance in the Vida Basin, the Combined Continental Army ordered all garrisons in this area to retreat to the Dark Cloud Fortress to contain the further eastward advance of the invading army; Immediately afterward, all countries and races on the entire continent issued emergency ****** to recruit all adventurers above level forty to assist the Continental Coalition Army, and rush to the Dark Cloud Fortress before the battle began, to participate in the first battle against the invading army of the Apocalyptic Empire.
This ****** has set off an unprecedented wave of escalation across the continent. In the past, every two or three days there would always be a quiet day or two, and it seemed that the vast majority of airwaders chose to rest during those days to prepare for the adventure that followed. But when this ****** was issued, the airwaders who decided not to be affected by the toll operation and stayed on the Falvi continent went crazy. They appeared tirelessly in this plane for days and nights in a row, killing monsters and doing cramps and doing tasks softly.
During that time, the streets were filled with glazed-eyed, staggering, and dazed seekers, who looked exhausted as if they might go into shock at any moment, but when they saw beasts, demons, or minions of the last kings hidden in the caves, they would immediately rush forward in high spirits, fighting with almost crazy fighting spirit and spirit, until they destroyed all the enemies in front of them and digested their dead souls into their own strength and rank. Those who are less than level forty are fighting for level forty, and they are desperate to catch up with this glorious and glorious first battle; And those who are above level forty are also striving for higher levels and abilities, looking forward to establishing greater feats on the battlefield.
In the same way, I also accepted the task of garrisoning the city of Haidel, and for this purpose I changed a few pieces of armor and other equipment, and purchased many large doses of high-potency life potions, so that I was fully prepared for the upcoming battle.
It didn't take long for the day of the battle to quietly descend amid our tension and anticipation......
(My parents were keeping vigil in the hospital, home alone, and I couldn't write anything.)
Received a notice from the editor, maybe it will be on the shelves tomorrow, and smiles bitterly: many things will always happen together.
The update will not be affected too much, and Xiao Xianzi still has nearly 200,000 words of manuscripts on hand, which can still be supported for a while.
I took a nap in the evening, and I dreamed that my grandfather didn't recognize me when he saw me, and I woke up with tears in my eyes.
On May 11, 2008, the night of being alone, I was scared! Very scared, very scared......
Another: Thank you readers for your blessings on my grandfather's condition, Xiao Xianzi has no master at this time, and all he can do is to say "thank you......
Again: I forgot that I should wish all readers and adults a safe and healthy family. I hope that the more people who are truly blessed, the more people who can share this blessing. )
