"Huh!"

A white light shot up into the sky.

Six hours after the start of the quest.

Xu Mu finally got ahead of the other players and reached level 15 first!

Throw all the loot on the ground into the back of your backpack.

Xu Mu directly chose to return to the city.

In the envious eyes of all the players.

Xu Mu walked quickly to an elven tree house in the middle of the town.

Here, it is Celia's residence.

After reaching level 15, the junction to Huttonmar has opened.

Players who want to change jobs need to go to Huttonmar to find the corresponding mentor and carry out the job transfer task according to the job transfer guide.

Until then, though.

Xu Mu plans to try to do one thing.

He pushed open the door of the treehouse and went straight in, and sure enough, he found Celia sitting in a chair reading quietly in the treehouse.

Chronicles of the Arad Continent

She was reading carefully, and she didn't notice Xu Mu's entry at all.

"It is rumored that Kazan, the god of destruction, and Ozma, the god of chaos, were once the right-hand men of the Perus Empire and brothers and sisters. However, after being involved in a conspiracy, Kazan was betrayed by Ozma, and after breaking his muscles and feet, he was exiled to the Exile Mountains. And Ozma was also caught up in the political vortex, his wife was included in the harem by the king, and Ozma was sunk to the bottom of the sea, and he chose to sign a contract with the god of chaos and embarked on the path of revenge......"

To be precise, Kazan was not betrayed by Ozma. From the very beginning, the two of them are caught up in a political conspiracy, it's just a matter of who goes first and who goes last. Xu Mu pulled out a chair opposite Celia and sat down, and poured himself another cup of tea.

A thousand years ago on the continent of Arad, the most powerful human empire, Perus, ruled the world.

At that time, the Demon Realm was connecting with the planet Arad, and the second sister Helde was the most ambitious of the twelve apostles.

In order to be able to control the Human Empire, she must first weaken Kazan and Ozma, two human powerhouses who are like plug-ins.

So he sent his loyal subordinate Alice to the Pelus Empire to bewitch the king, and used divination to inform the king that Kazan and Ozma were plotting a rebellion.

The mediocre king naturally listened.

Then came the birth of one of the biggest murders in Arad history.

The king first labeled Kazan, who was brave and good at fighting and had made many great achievements for the empire, a 'treason'.

and ordered the archmage Ozma to go and capture Kazan.

Kazan, who had already smelled some of the conspiracy, was preparing to flee.

But Ozma rushed to intercept him.

Ozma, who didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, kept persuading his good friend Kazan.

even vouched for his own personality, expressing his unwavering belief that Kazan would not betray the empire.

There must be some misunderstanding in this, as long as Kazan follows him back to the empire, he will try to persuade the king to revisit the matter and return Kazan's honor.

Kazan was moved by Ozma's words and agreed to his request.

As a result, on the day he returned home, Kazan was thrown into prison.

No matter how much Ozma lobbied the king to reopen the case, his good brother must have been wronged.

However, the king ignored it.

After ordering Kazan to break his tendons, he was exiled to the Exile Mountains, the border of the Peruvian Empire, where no one had ever returned.

After eradicating Kazan, the king's next plan was to target Ozma.

On the grounds of 'harboring crimes', it was believed that Ozma was also inseparable from the 'Kazan rebellion', and a new round of liquidation of Ozma began.

What is worse than Kazan's fate is that Ozma's family was beheaded all over the house, and his newly married wife, in order to save Ozma's life, was willing to enter the palace and become the king's concubine.

But her humble plea for mercy didn't help.

The king is determined to kill and believes that people like Ozma, who are proficient in magic, are more dangerous than Kazan.

Overnight, Ozma was sent to the bottom of the sea, causing him to drown.

As he nears death, Ozma's powerful resentment awakens the Chaos Demon God.

And at the cost of eternal and eternal mental torture, he activated an unprecedented power and became the god of chaos!

Subsequently, Ozma, who never got away with his resentment, began a cruel path of revenge on the Arad continent.

He spread the curse of blood, destroying countless human families.

"In other words, the ghost hand of the warrior...... Including the other ghost swordsmen who were contaminated with the power of the curse, were they all because they were cursed by Ozma? Xu Mu's story deeply attracted Celia, and after listening quietly with her face in her eyes, her eyes became more and more round, and her moist lips were slightly lifted, revealing a look of disbelief.

"Hmm...... The same can be said. Xu Mu groaned for a moment and said.

In fact, the Demon Swordsman's Ghost Hand Curse was created by Kazan.

It's a little story of the two brothers meeting again after Ozma became the god of chaos.

However, because the content is very similar, Xu Mu has no intention of forcibly correcting the error for Celia.

"Wow! Warrior, you are so knowledgeable! I can know so many details and events that have never even been recorded in a book! Celia cast a adoring gaze at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu smiled slightly: "Do you want to hear more stories?" ”

"Of course! I am very interested in the story of the Arad continent! But because there are no decent biographies at all, even the one I have in my hand is a wild history written by an unknown writer, and I can't buy more books with the money I earn from my part-time job. Celia narrowed her mouth with regret.

"Then come with me." Xu Mu stretched out his hand to Celia: "Follow me all over the Arad Continent, see with my own eyes, listen with my own ears, and feel it with my own ears." ”

"This ...... But what about my job...... Traveling requires a lot of expenses, and I don't have much savings. Celia grimaced.

Xu Mu smiled without thinking: "Your job now is to be my assistant." I will pay you your salary on a regular basis. ”

Hearing this, Celia's eyes showed a look of hope again, shining brightly.

Xu Mu saw that the fire had arrived, and added another firewood: "I can take you to see the towering Sky City, I can take you up to the Sky Giant Beast to see the mountains, I can take you to the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain to collect the heart of ice crystals, and I can also take you to the kingdom of the dark elves to appreciate their customs and customs." ”

"Whew...... This, so much? Celia couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the luster in her eyes bloomed even more.

She has always been very interested in the legends or monuments of the Arad continent.

It's hard to get in touch with these at all.

At the moment, Xu Mu's suggestion is too tempting.

She didn't hesitate this time, but nodded her little head desperately, and said again and again: "I do!" ”

【You have successfully recruited the key NPC of the dungeon - Celia. 】

[Celia has joined your team!] 】

[All tasks related to Celia are now your exclusive missions!] 】

A few prompts popped up, and Xu Mu smiled slightly.

The goal was achieved.

He came here this time to try to see if he could take Celia with him.

After about six hours of experience.

Xu Mu discovered.

There is still a certain deviation between the copy and the original game in terms of content.

In the original game, the warriors are more in line with the game's plot and will promote the development of the game's plot.

But in the dungeon, the monsters that players fight are all ready-made.

Many bosses don't need to advance the story quest at all, and players can attack as long as they receive the crusade.

This saves a lot of task steps.

Xu Mu thought.

It's the same monster farming.,Everyone assumes that the target is 100 monsters.。

Then, the level of the player who can receive the task will inevitably be higher than that of the player who is pure monster farming.

If only he could take Celia directly with him and rely on her to constantly trigger the mission plot.

Even under the pressure of 10 times experience, the upgrade speed will not be slow.

After all, the next step is to enter the main town of Huttonmar.

The order of magnitude of players you have to face is different from the 20,000 people in the novice village.

There are many people, and it is really rolled up, and Xu Mu, who is hanging ten times the experience value to reduce the debuff, really does not dare to guarantee the absolute lead.

Of course, that's for just now.

Now, with Celia on the team, everything will be different.

……

With Celia, who was ready to go, Xu Mu and the two went on the road.

Heading south from the town of Elwin, I rented a carriage for 10 gold.

It's about half an hour's drive.

The main city of Huttonmar gradually appeared in front of Xu Mu's eyes.

The urban buildings with off-white as the main tone are scattered, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

From afar, you can see the tower-shaped building on the west coast that connects to the sky.

"Wow! It's a castle in the sky! Celia poked out a small head from the carriage window, and after seeing the 'Optimus Prime' looming in the fog, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her eyes were full of longing and yearning.

"Hehe, it seems that this is the first time the little girl has come to the Duchy of Belmar. If you had been a little earlier, you might have had the opportunity to go to the foot of Sky Castle and take a group photo with the mechanical camera that came out of the Celestial Realm, but it's hard now. The chauffeur who was on the road was also an NPC, and he was smiling at Celia at this time.

"Huh? Excuse me, sir, is something happening to Sky City? Celia asked curiously.

At this time, the prompt sound in Xu Mu's mind was triggered.

You have triggered the Hidden Main Quest: Explore the City in the Sky!] 】

【Difficulty: C-】

[Mission Description: Go to Huttonmar to find someone who knows something about the blockade of Sky City, and find a way to enter Sky City.] 】

[Rewards: 20% XP Capsule*1, Gold +1000!] 】

You see, the benefits of bringing Celia are now manifested.

As soon as I entered the city of Huttonmar, the task was directly fed to my hands.

The first moment Xu Mu stepped into Huttonmar, he opened the leaderboard and looked at the current player rankings.

Well, as expected.

Although he was the first in the novice village to break out of the siege from Alwyn Town.

But he's not the first player in the world to reach Huttonmarr.

After all, there is no way to quickly erase the flaws caused by the tenfold experience debuff.

In front of a huge base of more than 80,000 novice villages and a total of 1.6 billion players.

There are always some players with excellent understanding, or super rich brothers, who will do everything possible to quickly level up in the early stage.

Your current ranking: 141 Huttonmar City District, 1867th】

[Before the next morning, the top 500 players in the region will receive a Fatigue Potion (1 point)*1]

[Top 200 players, get Fatigue Flask (1 point)*2]

[Top 100 players, get Fatigue Potion (5 points)*1]

In the final part of the main city, the top players can also get an additional fatigue bonus when they settle in the early hours of each morning.

Xu Mu glanced at the reward mechanism.

Players who can reach the top of the list will receive a 30 Fatigue Flask every day.

The difference in experience points provided by 30 monsters doesn't seem to be much.

But if there are 30 more every day, the gap will widen.

Moreover, the player who can rush to the top of the rankings.

The 30 monsters challenged are naturally much higher than the 30 monsters that the players at the bottom of the ranking brush in a day.

The XP gap will widen even further.

"I didn't expect that after Huttonmarr, the competition between players would start to become so cruel."

"I like it, though." Xu Mu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Just as Xu Mu continued to look at the current top-ranked players.

He saw a lot of old acquaintances.

[Rank 637: Poseidon, Level 16 9%]

[Rank 481: Mu Lin, Level 16 33%]

[Ranked 193: Doomsday Train, 12% of Level 17]

"I didn't expect them to be in the same main city as me?"

"And it's not slow."

"I'll try to get in touch with them when I'm free." Xu Mu thought to himself.

There is also a theory that there are guilds in DNF.

Moreover, guilds are able to provide attribute benefits to players.

The stronger the guild, the higher the income, so don't do it in vain.

When the time comes, when the number of people is enough, it is not impossible to create a DNF guild by yourself.

However, just when Xu Mu continued to flip the rankings upwards until he was in first place.

The player ID of the first place made Xu Mu's eyes narrow slightly.

[No. 141 Huttonmar –

1st Place: Wine Boy, Level 23 69%]

Unexpectedly, this guy is actually located in the same main city as himself?

The last time I was in Zelda's copy, I was involved in the global Red Moon copy before I could settle it with him.

This time, it is inevitable that he will not be let go!

"Warriors? Warrior? Beside me, there was the voice of Celia's call.

Immediately, she stretched out a white and jade palm and shook it in front of Xu Mu's eyes.

"Warriors? What's wrong with you, your expression is in a daze all the time? ”

Celia naturally couldn't see the player rankings, so Xu Mu's move of looking at the rankings fell in Celia's eyes, like looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and then continued to be in a daze.

"It's fine." Xu Mu, who came back to his senses, shook his head at her and said with a smile: "I met an old acquaintance." ”

"Let's go, before I can investigate the vision of Sky City, I still need to go to the Arad Adventure Society and complete a strength appraisal (transfer). Can you stay with me? Xu Mu jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to Celia again.

Celia stretched out her hand and naturally landed on Xu Mu's palm, and with the other hand holding the skirt, she stepped off the carriage in two steps, and returned a soft and sweet smile to him: "Well, good." ”
