[Where?] 】

"I always felt like their magic was very similar to the gameplay of certain games. For example, the Xudra troops, who can accumulate experience and trial and error through infinite resurrection, can teleport between similar sacrifice grounds. What video games are they playing? ”

[Huh? Apollonia paused:

[I searched for the term 'video game' and it was really, very similar, too similar.] However, there are only so many material forms and materials that human beings can come into contact with, and the basic patterns that can be understood are generally limited, so what is created will always be repeated in certain characteristics. But there's one thing that makes me feel special. Did you know that the 'insiders' on the Roman side are actually limited? 】

"They have player restrictions?"

[Yes.] 6,666 people, to be exact, the list of all these people is registered in the Golden Book of Constantinople, who were also members of the Senate. They are the ones who carry the lights in the night, they are the ones who drink the blood of Xudra, they are the ones who are tempered to join the inner guard, and they are the ones who perform all kinds of rituals. So that's what surprised me the most: you got the old branch, which means that they are willing to accept you into the Golden Branch's trial. 】

"Is that a ritual that needs to be kept completely secret?"

[Yes, this is because magic is related to 'night', and night needs mystery and darkness.] If too many people know, it won't work. Therefore, the location of the sacrificial ground will also be very remote, and it is not cost-effective to use the sacrificial ground to move - unlike your 'sun', the sun's rays shine on the earth. The imperial court also wanted everyone to be able to eat the fairy root. 】

"Seems to be about the same number as Qi Practitioners?"

[It's about the same, exactly.] The two sides maintain a balance of power in some respects, but in different ways. For example, the Qi Trainer would openly drive fighter jets to suppress it, but Rome's way of doing things was much more gloomy. It also makes them look at the occasional loss on the frontal battlefield. But if we look at it from a perspective of tens or hundreds of years, their suppression of technological barbarians can be said to be just right. It retains the symbolic richness of this world without allowing them to threaten the rule of the Empire. 】

"I still think the other half of the world is in a fog."

[Ha, that's terrible. If it really comes to that point, I'm afraid the mystery is out of control. Moonlight is also light, and human civilization is ultimately to unfold in light, not shadow. 】

"Is that going to happen? The fog covers the world, and there are monsters wreaking havoc in invisible places."

Apollonia was silent for a moment.

[I don't know. All I know is that humanity has, and deserves, this world. There has never been a shortage of brave men among mankind. If disaster strikes, the rest of the Hudra army and the rest of the internal guard will not be left behind you, and there is no shortage of brave men among the Romans. As long as Aurora and Rome are there, the light of civilization will not be swallowed up by barbarism or anything else. 】

After lunch, Shang Luo, who had asked for leave, waited at the school gate. However, before Lu Huaiyang and the military vehicle arrived, an acquaintance was already waiting there.

"Huh? Wen Yuan, did you also take leave in the afternoon? ”

"Yes, my master said that there is a field service. After finding your fleet to maintain the vehicles, it was much easier on my side - I was quite troublesome right now, and while I was in school, I still had an internship to do in Jinyiwei. Tsk, it is estimated that if you are really admitted to the Guozijian, then there will be more work. By the way, did you run into the Ripper last night? ”

The Feixin group said about this this morning. Shang Luo also flipped over just now.

In the Feixin group, it was relatively brief, and Shang Luo repeated last night's events in more detail.

"Ah, I'm so envious."

"What's there to envy about this?"

"That's a ripper, that's an urban legend! Ah, if only I could see it. ”

"Aren't you Jinyiwei? You don't know what an urban legend is? ”

"Che, it's often said in the news that wild boars are rushing into the streets, and you want to see what wild boars are like. That's a ripper, a wild boar, not every day you see pork. You shouldn't report the brocade, next time you come to me directly! Maybe I'll catch it on the spot. ”

"Can I just call you out? Where is your home? ”

"Of course, it's also in Wuyi Lane, just a few alleys away. If you had called me, I would have rushed out of the house in no time. ”

"Alright, okay, I'll call you next time. But why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Hey, I want to see if I can refine that kind of Dan~"

"You want to eat people, don't you?"

"Quietly, quietly. How can this be called cannibalism? Rational use of extraordinary resources. That's a wild boar, the radishes grown at home are not strong enough, and the bananas grown by Lan Fang are not very good. It's this ripper, I think he's something. Maybe I can refine some elixir from it. ”

[It can really be refined, Xudra's blood can be refined. Of course, you have to find the body. Apollonia reminded, "So it's really like game. It was a super game that the Romans had hunted from Hüdra. 】

"How?" Wen Yuan proposed, "Or next time."

"Is this in line with, Zhou Li?"

"What is not polite, what we hit is ours. The wild boars have driven into our woods, and it is up to us to kill them. I don't know why we told the Romans, why don't we call for our own stew? ”

"Because it's no ordinary wild boar!" Lu Huaiyang's voice suddenly appeared behind, and it turned out to be from inside the school gate. Shang Luo was taken aback, and Wen Yuan hurriedly turned around and explained:

"Ahh Master, I didn't mean that. I am"

"I warn you, don't just go and catch that boar. That wild boar was very dangerous, so I brought in a professional to deal with it. You, go up and drive. Shangluo, you are also up, we will leave now, it is not too early. ”

"Are you in a hurry? Where are we going? ”

"First go to Dajiaochang Airport, and then take the conveyor to Pudong Airport. It's a diplomatic mission, but it's about you. The Roman Guards sent a Khüdra force to deal with the 'wild boars'. They offer to apologize and give you some personal gifts, including some follow-up work. Because it's a gift, I didn't refuse for you. Do you want to meet? If not, we'll continue with our occult defense class in the afternoon. ”

"Can I have the guards teach me how to defend against the Ripper?"

"Huh?" Lu Huaiyang thought for a while, "Yes." And you seem to have some questions to ask yourself. It's not a big problem, then we'll arrange a meeting. There is no need to report the content of the meeting, and the cultivator can keep some small secrets. If he is willing to give you some gifts during the meeting, you may as well accept them. ”

Today's other updates are still sent at noon
