Chapter 37 Plan
After that, following the caravan, Duanmu Huai and his party arrived at Caracassonne, the central city of Bretonnia—a city blessed by the Lady of the Lake in legend.
The city is in perfect medieval style, with white walls, conical forts, bright red flags fluttering in the wind, and knights riding horses and full armor.
Well, no wonder the forum said that Bretonnia perfectly integrates all people's fantasies about medieval knights. If it looks like this, it does look like a pastoral city.
Because there was a caravan from the Sword in the Lake Chamber of Commerce on their side, Duanmu Huai and his party entered the city without encountering much hindrance and arrived at the Sword in the Lake Chamber of Commerce. The idiot knight's father also apologized to Duanmuhuai for his son's reckless behavior and offered to help them.
In the end, Kristine and Alyssa successfully bought a shop from the Sword in the Lake Chamber of Commerce, mainly doing business in small decorations - as nobles, they have a good vision in this regard.
The old knight Cardo planned to stay and continue to be loyal to the two of them as a servant, and the elf scout also expressed that he would stay here - anyway, as a royal spy, she now has no master and nowhere to go.
The only ones who have to leave are Duanmuhuai and Ojisi.
"Are you really going to leave? Lord Black Knight? Sister Ogis?"
Alyssa looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes, with a look of reluctance. After all, since she finally escaped, Duanmu Huai and Ogis have been guarding them. It can even be said that if it weren't for these two people, they would never have been able to leave the empire and come to Bretonnia so easily. .
"Of course, Alyssa, we still have our work to accomplish."
Duanmuhuai reached out and touched Alyssa's little head. Accompanying Alyssa all the way to Bretonnia was mainly as a reward for Alyssa. After all, she directly and decisively gave the holy object to herself, so of course Duanmu Huai would not let them go. But Duanmu Huai's journey will naturally not end here. In addition to this sacred object, he also has other sacred objects to recover, including those in Duanmu Huai's memory and the sacred objects currently held by the other three emperors in the empire. ——Since the gifts from the Water God held by Alyssa are all one of the holy objects, it is equally possible that the other three are also.
But if you take the sacred objects from their hands, you probably won't be as peaceful as Alyssa.
In addition, Duanmu Huai's most urgent thing at the moment is to continue searching for ruins and increase the number of soul cards in his hand. Among the decks held by Duanmu Huai, the attack power of the puppet deck can no longer keep up, and only Ogis can hold up the situation. The Necromancer deck can be used occasionally, but it is not suitable to be released outside. If it matches your own dress and appearance, it will easily arouse suspicion.
So next, Duanmu Huai's goal is to first increase the available soul cards, and then look for holy objects outside the empire - he is too lazy to mess with the current muddy waters of the empire, and Duanmu Huai plans to find another holy object. Then unlock the [Inquisition Library], then analyze the [Antimatter Energy Core] to build a brand new energy reactor, and then you can supply energy to the space station.
Then... justice can be delivered from heaven.
By that time, no matter how chaotic the empire is, it will only be destroyed by a single bombardment.
"Thank you very much, Lord Knight."
Christine also bowed respectfully to Duanmu Huai.
"If it weren't for the assistance of you and Miss Ogis, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape from the empire and come here. It's really impossible to repay such a kindness..."
"No need for repayment."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Alyssa gave me the gift from the Water God, and in return, I will send you all out of the empire. This is just a transaction, so you don't need to take it to heart, then..."
Having said this, Duanmuhuai looked at the elf scout.
"I'll leave this to you. After all, you can't have the intention of harming others, and you have to be defensive. Although Bretonnia is hyped outside, who knows what's going on inside."
"Let me work hard. This is not an empire after all, and what I can do is limited."
The elf scout nodded. After all, she and the others were now regarded as grasshoppers tied to a rope. And she also agreed with Duanmu Huai. Although Bretonnia did appear to be a wonderful country of idyllic poetry, as a scout and a royal spy, she did not believe that there was such a silly and sweet place in the world, so the elf The scout also plans to investigate secretly. Even if he doesn't cause trouble, he can't let himself be tricked by others for no reason, right?
After the explanation, everyone fell into silence for a while. Speaking of it, they didn't get along for a long time, but during the escape journey, everyone was used to being together all the time. Now that they were suddenly separated, they were somewhat reluctant to let go.
"…………Then, that’s it."
In the end, Duanmu Huai spoke first, while Alyssa stared at him with tears in her eyes.
"Lord Black Knight, will you come back to see us again in the future?"
"Of course, if I have time, I will come to see you."
Duanmu Huai is not perfunctory. After all, the teleportation beacon is now turned on. He can put a beacon here to shuttle back and forth. This planet is just a primitive civilization planet and there is no void shield. Duanmu Huai naturally activates the strategic command room. You can teleport wherever you want. If it hadn't been for an escort mission, he would have arrived in Bretonnia as soon as he opened his eyes, so why waste so much time.
Moreover, Alyssa was the first person he met after traveling through time. She was cute and well-behaved, so Duanmu Huai also had a good impression of her.
But Duanmuhuai didn't intend to get too close to the other party.
Basically, all judges will not get too close to the local indigenous people to avoid encountering some difficult troubles and problems. After all, if they get too close to certain people, it is very likely that the other person will be targeted by the evil god. Although Duanmu Huai is not so proud with the evil god of subspace now, considering what he will do in the future, it is almost inevitable that he will register in front of the evil god.
By that time, with the evil god's urine, if he finds out that he has close contact with Alyssa and the others, it is almost certain that he will cause trouble for them. The reason why the elf scouts were reminded was because Duanmu Huai was wary of the Lady of the Lake.
In this world, many times people who appear to be good people are actually not such good people.
Something similar has happened before in the game, when a disaster occurred on a planet, and radical believers on that planet tried to control the entire planet to spread the glory of the god they believed in. For a while, the planet was in danger, but at that time, a saint stepped forward and led the resistance army to resist the attack of radical believers. After that, many players and judges also joined in, and finally everyone worked together. It is gratifying and gratifying to have defeated the radical believers and protected the peace of the planet.
However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a Grand Inquisitor player came directly and detained the Saint on the charge of promoting heresy.
At that time, not only the people on the planet did not understand his move, but even some player judges could not accept it. But in the end, the Grand Inquisitor player ignored all this and directly announced that the saint would be burned at the stake, and then transferred the body to the local church.
As for the Grand Inquisitor player, he naturally became a hostile camp in the hearts of the people on that planet. Even many players did not understand him and thought he was obsessed with playing games.
As a result, several players who liked to get to the bottom of the matter conducted some investigations after that, and were surprised to find that everything that happened on this planet was a farce - whether they were radical believers or The Saint Faction is actually the pawn of the God of Deceit, and whether they win or lose this war, it has no impact on the God of Deceit.
If the Radicals win, the planet will become worshipers of the deceitful god.
If the Saint wins, everyone will follow the Saint's guidance and become believers of the deceitful God.
Win or lose is a win, and you can win twice. If you win, it belongs.
So the Grand Inquisitor took the most straightforward measure - win a DEEEEER, and I will ruin the game for you! Burn them all to death, leaving no one behind! If I lose, you can’t even think about winning. Let’s finish counting the balls together.
That is to say, after this, when players face the natives of the planet, they will reserve some points and will not give them complete trust.
Because you can't be sure whether the other person really thinks so, or whether he is induced to think so by the evil god. Some people even do not realize that they are being guided by evil spirits. In this case, it is easy for various problems to occur - so there are many unlucky players.
Therefore, in the game, the people each profession trusts the most are actually the people around them.
For example, what a super soldier trusts most is his gene seed army.
What the Tech-Priests trust most is the servitors they make.
The thing that psykers trust most is the soul card.
Among them, psykers have the best treatment, because the soul cards not only contain beautiful and cute girls, but also furry animals, which are very healing. Some girl players even transform their bases into looking like a zoo, with all kinds of cute little animals and elves flying all over the place, which is so healing.
On the other hand, tech-priests and super soldiers are either full-body mechanical cybernetics, or full-body muscle brothers. Unless your hobbies are abnormal, wouldn't you be afraid of something happening if you keep developing relationships with this kind of thing?
It can be seen from this that your Master is still your Master, and he is popular no matter where he is.
So in the end, all players in the game will work part-time as soul walkers, and then get a few soul cards - even if they are too low-level to fight, it's good to put them in their base for eye-catching purposes.
You can't really just keep confronting the muscle brother and the mechanical robot, right? Who's to blame if something goes wrong?
After that, Duanmuhuai and Ogis said goodbye to the reluctant Alyssa, left Caracason, and successfully completed the [Escort II] mission. In addition to the experience of raising the level to level 23, you also received a [Purification Badge] as an additional reward.
【Evolution Badge (Holy Object)】
【+10 subspace resistance】
【+5 all resistances】
【+5 seconds of fear time】
.........Okay, my fear aura is getting stronger and stronger.
"Where are we going next? Master?"
"Hmm..."
After hearing Ogis's question, Duanmuhuai thought for a while.
"Anyway, let's go see what cards come from the ruins here."
