Chapter 55: Falling out
Six-thirty in the morning
Mo Tan climbed out of the game cabin, visually judging that he had no intention of continuing to play in the remaining half hour.
This is also reasonable. After all, the time in the Innocence Realm is now six o'clock in the morning. Except for Tan Mo's character, who can catch up a little bit, it is of little use for the other two personalities to log in. Mo Tan passively switched to the 'absolute neutral' state during the previous transition, so after thinking for a while, he quit the game directly and did not choose to reconnect.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do after I'm online..." Mo Tan yawned slightly and muttered as he moved towards the bedroom: "And lately, I've been playing games for twelve hours each time. Time, I feel that the quality of sleep is a bit poor.”
To put it simply, he still wanted to sleep for a while, but he always felt that he should make some excuse for himself.
However, compared to other players, Mo Tan’s online time is indeed quite long. After all, except for professional players and individual liver emperors, few people can play the game for 24 hours a day. That is, in reality, the period from 7pm to 7am the next morning.
You must know that there is day and night in the game, and the NPCs in Innocence Continent are also different from their counterparts in other games. The latter are generally very dedicated, whether they are buying weapons or giving quests. Those who are waiting for escort, those who are captured by monsters, those who guard the castle , skewers, vegetable sellers, scrap collectors, and shoe insulators are all full of energy 24 hours a day, waiting in the wind and rain for the players who will wander over God knows when to say a few words to them, the same I have said the lines thousands of times without getting bored at all, which is a model for the service industry!
The NPCs in the World of Innocence are different. For example, a player has a task and needs to ask the owner of a weapon shop for a wrench. During the day, the problem should not be big, but if you update it three times If you knock on someone's door in the middle of the night to borrow something, it's easy to be ignored. But if you encounter someone with a hot temper or someone who disturbs the night life, you might just open the door and cut him down.
In fact, there are players who have died like this... Don't think too much, this is just an example, it's really not Cordoba!
All in all, there are not many players who can remain active at night. The main reason is that many people have nothing to do even if they don’t want to go offline. Take Mo Tan as an example. He is absolutely fine if he plays the corresponding character Hei Fan. Ergan, as a member of the Territorial Autonomous Army, you don't have to work overtime even if you want to.
So, to sum up, Mo Tan decided to sleep for a while longer...
During the game, although the body in reality remained asleep, it was not a deep sleep. , or it feels like being dreaming while in deep sleep.
You must know that most of us will sleep a little longer if we are dreaming, it will be more difficult to get up, we will be more irritable after being woken up by the alarm clock, and we will be more tempted to hit someone when we see the unit leader or the dean. Some (crossed out)...
So if you play the game to the fullest, even though twelve hours of sleep in the game will not affect your daily life, it will still make you a little tired.
When he was tired, he would sleep for a while. Mo Tan's thinking at this time was obviously the same as that of most of us~
So, he went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Look how well this detour is done...
At the same time, in the southeast of the Innocence Continent, the Marshall Territory Dieyan City
Ned, who had been tossing and turning in the station and couldn't sleep, suddenly heard There was noise outside. He rubbed his aching eyes, stepped over Crabbe, who was sleeping soundly, and stuck his head out. As a result, he happened to see the lizardman officer who had recruited Mo Tan striding over.
"Thank God." Officer Gart glanced at Ned, shook his head and said, "You are the first squad leader to wake up without my calling. There will be a meeting in ten minutes, so hurry up and clean up."
Ned looked at him in astonishment: "Now? What happened?"
Gatt walked directly in front of him and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Something big happened, Firepaw. The Territorians crossed the border a few hours ago, It's said to have caused a lot of trouble. I don't know the details. Someone should explain it to us during the meeting. See you later. "
"What's wrong?" Salazar appeared quietly. Behind Ned, he asked in a low voice: "Trouble?"
Ned shook his head gloomily: "I don't know, I'm going to a meeting now, don't wake everyone up first, wait until I come back. Well..."
Then he patted his companion on the shoulder and strode out of the camp. Unexpectedly, he almost bumped into Futaba who was trotting all the way over.
Ned was obviously surprised: "You haven't rested yet?"
"Just came back from the Mages Guild~" Futaba yawned slightly and looked around Looking at the gradually brightly lit military camp around him, he tilted his head and asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Ned shrugged: "I don't know, I'm just going to a meeting."
"Okay, then I'll practice the mantra here for a while."
"Yeah."
......
Seven o'clock in the morning
Although we can talk about it until the end of this chapter by describing it carefully during the rest of the day, let's not say that Be careful.
Anyway, Mo Tan slept for a while, got up and read the forum, received an email, and made up for a few episodes. It was almost half past seven. Of course, he also ate something in the middle and switched twice. Personality.
Then, night falls...
[Your spiritual connection has been detected and personal information is being synchronized...]
[Connection completed, character information is being read]
[Welcome back, the absolutely neutral Black Brahma, will soon enter the realm of innocence, wish you a good night]
……
As soon as he turned out of the alley not far from the military camp, Mo Tan felt a trace of solemnity in the air. This atmosphere made him feel a little unnatural.
Then he saw an orange-haired girl wearing a rose-red robe approaching from a distance.
"You're here?" Futaba shrugged at him, then pushed up his glasses slightly and walked toward the military camp: "Go back to the station first, and talk as we walk."
Mo Tan nodded, walked beside Futaba, and asked in a low voice: "I remember not taking a break these two days, why did you suddenly send me an email asking me to come online? "
Yes, Mo Tan was called up by Futaba. He received an email from Futaba at noon (the address Mo Tan left for him last time), and the content was not More, which probably means asking him to go online as soon as possible today if conditions permit. It seems that something serious happened here.
So at about 6:50 in the real world, Mo Tan, who was originally in a state of 'lawful good', took the initiative to change his personality with ease, and then landed in the role of Hei Fan.
"Unexpected situation." Futaba said listlessly: "Captain Ned was called to a meeting before. When he came back, he immediately ordered us to assemble. It seems that he is going to carry out a very difficult task today, and it seems that All active members of the Autonomous Army must participate, so I said hello to you."
Mo Tan quickly thanked him. He was obviously quite touched that Futaba could think of him like this. ..."Don't get me wrong." The girl curled her lips: "I just think that if there is any danger, it will be very troublesome without treatment."
At this time, the two of them have arrived in Fen. In front of the Lille team's station, Mo Tan did see many people preparing for action on the road, and everyone's expressions were a little solemn.
"Okay, everyone is here." Ned greeted the two of them from a distance. When Mo Tan and the others came over, he immediately said in a deep voice to the entire team in front of him: "To make a long story short, let me explain this. The content of this emergency mission was that just last night, two villages and a small town near the border of the territory were attacked. At least more than 300 people were slaughtered. According to the survivors who fled here According to local intelligence, the identity of the attacker is..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last words after a while: "The Fire Claw warrior who fought with us before."
Everyone was stunned...
Although they had been attacked by the opponent for unknown reasons before, no one expected that the Fire Claw territory would completely break up with Marshall!
The Fire Claw Territory and the Marshall Territory are both one of the nine autonomous territories of the Violet Empire. The former is a union of orc tribes centered on the Fire Claw Clan. Each generation of Fire Claw Chiefs is also a Grand Duke of the Empire. The title, its territory is located close to the Marshall Autonomous Territory, and its folk customs It is famous for its toughness and the production of elite warriors, but it rarely has contact with the other eight forces of the empire in the political field. At least in recent decades, Rhino Bloodaxe, who is both the Duke of Fire Claw and the War Chief, has almost never left. After passing through his own territory, he even went to the royal capital only a handful of times.
But despite this, the relatively closed Fire Claw Territory has never had any friction with the Marshall family. The last border encounter still left everyone confused, and they did not get any feedback from them in the following days. Or explain, until today, the situation has changed dramatically.
The warriors from the Fire Claw Territory actually attacked several border towns that most people couldn't even name, and their methods were said to be extremely cruel!
"Not only that..." Ned sighed: "It is said that they also robbed a large number of civilians, and our mission this time is to rescue those innocent people."
Silver Na clenched her little fists angrily and said angrily : "What are those guys thinking? Are they really planning to conflict with us?!"
"What's the reason?" Salazar was calmer and asked Ned: "Have there been any signs before? ”
The latter shook his head: "Except for the unclear encounter we had before, nothing at all. Although the Marshall Territory and the Fire Claw Territory have been neighbors for too many years, they have always been on the same page. Neither should Archduke Fireclaw and Archduke Buffy Marshall, who seldom visit the royal capital. There must be some kind of political dispute."
"Then what are they doing killing and robbing people?" Crabbe sat down dullly and snorted: "Such people are from the same race as me. , Damn it!”
Ned was silent for a while and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, Crabbe, don't think so much. My mentor once told me that he has seen the most despicable humans and the noblest orcs. Many things have nothing to do with race."
"Captain, this sentence is suspected of racial discrimination." Crabbe turned over Rolling his eyes: "Why can't it be the noblest human being and the despicable orc I have ever seen? Doesn't it mean that we orcs are generally..."
Mo Tan smiled dryly and suddenly interrupted: " Ahem, Crabbe, that’s not what the captain meant!”
He always felt that this might go on forever...
Ned also choked, and then glared at Crabbe, a guy whose brain suddenly learned to turn around, and said helplessly: "Anyway, this time we "My mission is to enter the Fire Claw Territory to rescue those civilians. If there is no problem, pack it up quickly and set off in ten minutes!"
"Loot the civilians..." Yinna changed the string of the long bow in her hand! , while muttering: "What on earth are those guys thinking, snatching people away to farm for them?"
Futaba was flipping over a few scrolls she had cheated from the Mages Guild, absentmindedly. He said quietly: "Agriculture seems to be more developed in the Fire Claw Territory. I heard the captain say it before."
"Indeed, it is unlikely that it would be realistic to be robbed of farming land." Mo Tan said I was checking my newbie suit with a sullen expression, and now, no matter in terms of level or equipment, this character is the most miserable one.
But thinking about Cordoba...well...I suddenly feel quite happy like this.
"Tsk, tsk~" Yinna scratched her hair: "You can't just sell someone, right?"
......
Futaba was shocked, and suddenly there was a sound. I remembered the words of a worthless guy last night...
[Where you are, there is a slave trade]
At the same time, a strange color flashed in the eyes of Mo Tan, who was sitting on the ground with his back to the two of them.
Connected!
The information I received in Pato City was indeed correct!
At this moment, Ned had already begun to greet everyone to set off...
...
An hour later, everyone had arrived at the small hillside that had made Cordoba's gaming experience extremely poor, which was where the previous encounter broke out.
"The direction we are responsible for is here." Ned said solemnly: "But this time we have to cross the border and go deep for a long distance. Everyone, please stay vigilant. Enemies may appear at any time... ..."
Salazar shook his arm and said calmly: "Although it has only been a few days, the previous battle is really memorable."
"Thanks to Hei. Van~" Yinna said with a smile: "I felt so comfortable the first time, it was simply art."
Ned also lightly bumped Mo Tan's shoulder and teased: "What if you do it this time. If you can still bring everyone back alive, I’ll leave it to you to be the captain.”
"Luck, just luck!" Mo Tan sneered a little awkwardly: "The main thing is that everyone is better."
"It can't be luck." Ned suddenly looked solemn and said to Mo Tan solemnly: "That's something only you can do, so if there is If something unexpected happens, please let me know.”
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Mo Tan always felt that there seemed to be something else in Ned’s slightly tired eyes...
And. Futaba, who was walking behind, was thinking about another thing.
【What on earth does that worthless guy know...】
