Chapter 177 The Immortal Alien
"What happened?" In the carriage, Dival, who sensed the commotion outside, frowned and asked the war believer who was driving.
The driver was a mid-level war knight. After hearing Duval's question, he replied respectfully, "Someone hit the carriage."
"Someone hit the carriage?" Duval's brows furrowed even deeper.
Now the carriage was approaching the next city for supplies, so it was not going very fast. He didn't think his subordinates would hit passers-by. Besides, there was the emblem of the Church of War on the carriage, so under normal circumstances, passers-by and other vehicles should have given way.
"Ah, my leg! My leg is broken!" A tragic voice sounded outside the carriage.
Wudi Zuijunlang was lying on the ground, hugging his legs. There was some blood on his thigh, which he had cut with a knife.
This game is very realistic and players will suffer real injuries.
There was a look of pain on Wudi's most handsome face, but there was a hint of cunning between his brows.
This was how he thought of making money.
——Bumping into someone! This place is close to the city. Find a target who looks rich. When there are fewer people around, pretend to bump into him accidentally. Then let the brothers hiding in the dark come out.
Most caravans would surrender if they demanded compensation and threatened to go to the guards at the city gate if they didn't get compensation.
After all, when the guards come and see Wudi Zuijunlang's handsome appearance, they will think that Wudi Zuijunlang is the victim.
For players, there is no cost in making money in this way. Since they have just entered the game at a low level and have no equipment, it doesn't matter if they die.
On the contrary, if you get killed by a car accident, you can get more compensation by keeping the body in a state of being dead! Three days into the game's public beta, he has already made a lot of money this way.
"How did you drive? You hit my brother like this! If anything happens to my brother, I will fight you to the death!" Several other players not far away also ran over, shouting angrily.
"You go and handle it. Since we hit someone, give them some compensation. Don't waste too much time on this kind of thing." Dival shook his head and glanced at the people outside the window.
These people were dressed very ordinary, without any magical fluctuations, and were obviously ordinary people. He originally thought that they were robbed or something, but now it seems like just an ordinary accident.
The knight driving the carriage opened his mouth. He saw with his own eyes that the man was risking his life and ramming the carriage on his own initiative. This looked like a gang extortion crime no matter how you looked at it.
Looking at Duval's indifferent expression, he finally sighed helplessly. Since the Pope wanted to return to the royal city as soon as possible, he did as he was told.
Letting go of the reins, the knight got off the carriage and threw a gold coin directly to the Invincible and Handsome Man lying on the ground.
"Get out of the way immediately!" the knight said coldly.
Looking at the golden coins on the ground, Wudi's most handsome eyes were wide open!
He had been scamming people here for more than a day, and he only had a few silver coins on him. The man in front of him took out a gold coin! A gold coin is worth a hundred silver coins. What kind of invincible gold tycoon is this? After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly picked up the gold coin on the ground and crawled aside to make way.
Anyone who could casually take out a gold coin must not be a simple NPC. Just when he wanted to look at him carefully, a system prompt appeared in front of him.
[Lear Stuart's favorability towards you has decreased and is currently disgusted! ]
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly appeared in front of him, Wudi Zui Junlang was stunned for a moment.
Lear Stuart?
He felt that it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
The carriage in front continued to move forward, and just as the carriage behind passed by him, he saw a cold face.
Li Er looked at the most handsome Wudi lying on the ground, his face expressionless but the disdain in his eyes clearly revealed.
Wudi Zuijunlang stared blankly at the carriage passing by, and he finally remembered what the name Lear Stuart represented. He had appeared in the game trailer and was the heir to the Duke whom the Valkyrie came into contact with during the internal test.
But wasn’t this person swallowed by a giant snake in the promotional video?
Wudi Zui Junlang was a little puzzled, until the carriage went away, the surrounding players gathered around, "Brother, I just got a tip, an NPC's favorability has decreased!"
"Let's follow them!" Wudi Zui Junlang said after thinking for a moment.
"Are we going to try this again?" a player asked.
"Idiot! I told you to read more books, how could you ask such a question?" Wudi Zui Junlang said angrily, "We are following them to see what's going on, understand?"
"The NPC whose favorability was reduced as prompted by the system just now was encountered by the Valkyrie during the internal test. That NPC has legendary skills to teach!" Wudi Zuijunlang said with regret.
Looking at the carriage going away, he felt a little regretful. He lost a forest for a gold coin.
If he had known that it was this NPC on the carriage, he would never have tried to scam me.
The other party obviously knew their player identities and also knew that he was committing fraud.
After all, during the internal test, the Duke's heir received an oracle and knew that these aliens were about to arrive.
Being hated by such an NPC is a sad story.
…
After passing the players who were trying to scam people, the carriage arrived in front of the city.
Ryan City is the transit station to the Royal City of Soros.
When the guard at the city gate saw the carriage, his face suddenly changed and he stepped forward quickly, "Excuse me, is this His Holiness the Pope?"
The war knight driving the car nodded and said, "Yes, we plan to rest in Ryan City for one night and leave for Soros tomorrow. Please inform Lord Brian."
"I will notify the city lord immediately." The guard nodded respectfully.
"What happened in the city?" The knight driving the car turned his head and looked to the side. There were many guards on martial law at the city gate. It was not so strict when they came here before.
"Sir, to be honest, some immortal aliens have appeared in the city recently, and the city lord is having a headache over this matter..." The guard showed a helpless expression.
…
Ryan City, City Lord’s Mansion.
The carriage entered the mansion under the guidance of the guards.
A burly man stood in front of the garden, looking at the stopped carriage with a respectful expression.
Dival and others got off the carriage, and Li'er also got off the carriage with Avian and Milia.
"Brian Carter, greetings to His Holiness the Pope!" The man knelt on one knee and performed a high ceremony.
"Get up, I heard that there are immortal aliens in the city?" Dival nodded and asked.
"Yes, Your Holiness, we saw it with our own eyes. The body of the person who fell from the building and died the day before disappeared out of thin air, but reappeared the next day." Lord Brian replied.
Listening to Brian's words, Dival frowned. Coming back to life from the dead was simply impossible.
"Is it possible that you have seen it wrong, and that they are actually two people who look very similar?" Dival said in a deep voice.
"That's not true, Your Holiness. There are not just a few people who have come back to life from the dead, but many." Brian shook his head.
"A lot? How many?"
"Maybe thousands of people..." Brian took a deep breath and said a shocking number.
Dival was stunned. For a moment, he wondered if the Lord of Brian in front of him was crazy.
…
"About three days ago, a large number of strange people inexplicably appeared in the city. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, and the citizens of the city had never seen them before."
In the underground prison, Lord Brian was talking as he walked, followed by Dival, Lil and others.
"These people behave very strangely. They like to run around everywhere. They will climb onto the roof and then jump off and die. However, their bodies will disappear after a while and then resurrect intact from somewhere else."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Brian spoke slowly, and Duval and the others seemed to be listening to some Arabian Nights fairy tale. Only Lear had a faint smile on his face.
Lear found the player described by Brian just a little funny.
In his previous life, players who had just entered the game would indeed do this. Not only other players, but he himself had done this as well!
When "Law" was first released, it swept almost all virtual online games. The realism of previous virtual online games was very poor, and none of them could be like "Law", which felt like another world.
When players first encounter such a realistic game, they naturally do things that they dare not do in real life! As a result, all kinds of weird behaviors appear.
Li Er remembered that there were also players who had tasted Aoli Gei in the game, and it could be said that there were all kinds of weird things.
As Brian was speaking, everyone had already arrived at the depths of the prison, where there were about dozens of people with their hands and feet bound and tied to iron bars.
Seeing this, Dival raised his eyebrows, "Is this the immortal alien you mentioned? Why are they tied up?"
"If we don't tie them up, they'll commit suicide," Brian replied helplessly.
"..." Dival was speechless. Everything Brian said broke his common sense.
When Dival and others were looking at these players, the players were also looking at Dival and others. They used reconnaissance skills on the NPCs in front of them without any hesitation.
"Fuck! The Pope?" someone exclaimed.
"These female NPCs are so pretty! Does this silver-haired girl look familiar?"
“Isn’t that the girl in the trailer? And this Li’l Stuart, also in CG, has been swallowed by the giant snake, right?”
The players were chattering, and Dival and the others looked at each other in confusion as they listened to what they were saying. They didn't quite understand what the players were saying.
Only Li Er acted calm. As a player in his previous life, he was very familiar with the players' reconnaissance skills. After the public beta, the players' reconnaissance skills were strengthened.
No matter how powerful the target is, unless the NPC deliberately conceals it, the title, name, occupation, and level can be detected.
According to the investigation of these players, his panel should be: Name: Li Er
Level: 80 (Extraordinary) Occupation: War Knight/Mage Favorability: Normal
Danger level: extremely deadly This is information that Lear deliberately released. After the public beta, he can also compile these data to show players.
"Detect spell." Dival's eyes became sharp.
"Who are you? Where are you from?" he asked coldly.
“Your Holiness! We are aliens from another world. We accepted the trial of the gods, so we came to this world.” A player replied immediately.
The person in front of you is the Pope of the Church of War, and an important NPC that appeared in the game CG. It is necessary to improve their favorability!
"Your Holiness, I am willing to join the Church of War and become a believer in the Law of War!" another player shouted.
Dival's expression was serious. He would certainly not easily believe the one-sided words of these players. As for joining the War Church, that was even more impossible.
"Are you sure they can be resurrected?" He turned his head and looked at Brian beside him.
"It's absolutely true." Brian answered affirmatively.
Hearing the reply, Dival did not hesitate, took out a long sword out of thin air, and then stabbed a player in the chest without any hesitation.
The health bar above the player's head emptied quickly, but he did not make any painful sound. Instead, he showed a happy smile.
It has been almost a day since I was captured. It would take several days for me to starve to death. Now that I have been killed, it is a good opportunity for me to be resurrected and escape!
Under the gazes of everyone, the bodies of the killed players quickly faded and then disappeared without a trace.
Dival stared closely at the place where the body disappeared. Even with his extraordinary level of perception, he had no idea how the body disappeared.
"It's really gone." Duval muttered to himself.
Brian was not surprised by this, he had seen this happen many times.
"Your Holiness, that's right. After these aliens die, their bodies will disappear and then be resurrected somewhere else," Brian said.
Duval fell silent.
While Duval was shocked by the players' affairs, Li'er was flipping through the game's official forum with an expressionless face.
The official forum is now even more lively, with three posts pinned to the top of the forum.
They are Princess Maya in the Royal City, and the beginner's guide to "Law" released by Dahei. The last one is newly released, and the picture shows the War Pope and his photo.
Lear clicked on Dahei's guide, and the first line of big words he saw made Lear feel a little funny.
[The first rule of the "Law" beginner's guide is to carry weapons with you. Whether you are a magician or a melee profession, we need to carry weapons that can easily kill ourselves! ]
[I believe everyone has experienced the game "Law". The authenticity of this game is incomparable to those previous games, especially the intelligence of the NPCs. Sometimes I even doubt whether these NPCs are real people. ]
[The player's ability to resurrect from the dead is considered a taboo and heretical power in the eyes of NPCs. Once discovered, they will be arrested. Many players in the forum have been killed, so I suggest that everyone should carry weapons with them when playing the game so that they can commit suicide to escape in a critical moment! ]
[This is an important strategy I have summarized as a beta tester! 】
