Chapter 449: The Land Forsaken by God (38) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
Obviously no one can see the essence through the phenomenon.
In addition, Enoch now has cat ears and a cat tail, a genuine cat man, and no one can see his human nature hidden under the cat man's skin.
The three people were so engrossed in the quarrel that they didn't notice a group of people suddenly appearing nearby. They thought that the exploration team members were attracted by the content of their quarrel.
The two cat girls called for help from the sidelines, and the young man in jodhpurs impatiently came over and patted Enoch's shoulders a few times: "Brother, please judge for yourself. How can you bully others like this? Our pasture has been of good quality for so many years. How can you say that there is something wrong with our goods!"
"Why can't we talk?" The cat girl on the left rolled her eyes. "We are old customers of your ranch. Are you just treating us like this?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, look at him," the cat girl on the right pulled the one on the left and pointed at Enoch, "Look, his behavior shows that the quality of this batch of catnip is not good at all. He has such a large pile of catnip in his arms, but he doesn't react at all. This is not normal at all."
Enoch, who was simply holding cat grass:?
He...he really shouldn't react.
After all, he is only a human being...
Even a few days ago, he was still an old man with a white beard.
The young man in breeches was obviously a little confused: "Impossible!"
"Brother, please say something!" He was puzzled. "How could there be any problem with this batch of cat grass? We bought it from the same place!"
Now, all three of them looked towards Enoch.
Both sides were counting on him to make a fair and just judgment. Enoch, who had no idea what was wrong with the cat grass in his hand, was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He could only look at the exploration team members behind him for help.
The exploration team members looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and whistled.
It's funny. They are not cat people, so how can they know whether catnip is good or bad.
Enoch: ...
Help, what should he do?
From a human perspective, the cat grass stuffed into his hands really had no problems in appearance. Each piece was green and tender, with a thin layer of water stains on it. It looked like it was picked from the pasture early in the morning.
The freshness and quality seem to be top-notch among cat grasses, and there is nothing wrong with it no matter how you pick it.
But if we look at it from common sense, the smell of catnip can make cats get high quickly. The car behind the young man is full of such catnip. If there is no quality problem, then there is no way these two cat girls can stand here properly.
From this perspective, there is definitely something wrong with this batch of cat grass.
"Well... I'm from out of town," Enoch struggled for a while, choosing his words, "I'm not sure about the quality of catnip in Cyril City. This batch looks different from what I usually use, and it's indeed a bit difficult to use."
No final word, perfect.
Enoch blinked.
"I'm telling you," the two cat ladies put their hands on their hips, "We won't accept this batch of goods. You need to take it back and have your ranch deliver it again, or I won't let you off the hook!"
The young man in jodhpurs also muttered in disbelief: "Impossible, how is it possible? This batch is exactly the same as the batch from last month."
"How would we know?" the cat lady on the left crossed her arms. "Anyway, the quality is wrong. There's something wrong. If the quality of your pasture is always like this in the future, we'll order from someone else!"
"Yes," the cat lady on the right also said in a bad tone, "We need to change the pasture."
When the young man heard that they wanted to change the pasture, he got anxious: "Don't change it, can't we just change another batch of goods for you? I really don't know what's wrong with this batch of goods. We will send someone to deliver you freshly picked catnip tomorrow morning!"
"Still at this time?" The two cat girls hugged their chests.
"It's still this time. We will definitely deliver freshly picked cat grass tomorrow morning!" The young man promised and drove away in the carriage. As he left, he muttered in confusion, "This is weird. This shouldn't be the case."
The two cat girls watched him walk away and thanked Enoch: "Thank you, good cat for stopping by! If it weren't for you, we two cats wouldn't know what to say!"
"Uh... you're welcome," Enoch scratched his head, "I didn't help much..."
Besides, he's not even a cat.
"You just said that you are an adventurer who comes to Cyril City for the first time?" The cat girl on the left was curious, "Are the people behind you your teammates?"
"Yes," Enoch nodded and glanced at the people behind him, "We are from Besser City."
"Besser City! It's so far away..." The cat girl on the right was surprised, "Did you come here on foot? Not on horses?"
Enoch: ...
Of course they didn't come on foot, they even came by boat.
"We came here with the caravan," he made up an excuse. "The caravan entered the city, so we separated from them. We have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in a commission later."
"I see...thanks to you just now!" The two cat girls looked at each other and invited, "We are waiters in a cafe in Cyril City. Thank you for speaking for us. Would you like to have a drink in the cafe before handing in the commission?"
"No need." Before Enoch could refuse, he heard Dermis speak from behind him, "Let's go in together. We still have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in the commission."
"Ah... that's fine," the two cat girls nodded, "Let's go!"
"Dermis?" Yun Guang called out in a low voice, "Can we just go in like this? Or we can come back later."
They had just been blocked by a group of players, and this was just outside the city. If they entered Cyril City, wouldn't there be even more players?
What's more, once Enoch was photographed, more people with ulterior motives would come to Cyril to join in the fun.
"Okay," Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, "Just change your face."
If you just want to slightly change your appearance, don't make it too much trouble.
In order to ensure the sense of immersion in the holographic world of "Breath of Slenkmed", most of the passers-by n.pc have no names. They are not in the initial game data, and naturally have no corresponding names and information. Changing their appearance can make these players think that they are just ordinary passers-by passing by.
Moreover, following the two people from Cyril City in would also make it convenient for him to check what the conditions for entering Cyril City were.
This time they entered Cyril City for two purposes. One was that there were four professional mission locations for player professions in Cyril City, and they needed to confirm whether all the professional mentors were missing. The other was that they had come all the way from the Perrin Mine, and the end point of this transportation line was Cyril City.
This means there is still a magic pattern fragment underground in Cyril City.
Enoch's memory was still vague, and he couldn't remember more details of the pattern. If he wanted to piece together the final pattern, he couldn't miss this piece.
Since Bai Jinshu said so, everyone followed the two cat girls into the city with peace of mind.
However, surprisingly, the two cat girls led everyone not to the main gate that had been surrounded by players, but to another gate.
This entrance looked much simpler in design than the main gate, and there were no other people walking around like them, only various horse-drawn carriages carrying goods speeding past.
There were no guards near the entrance, and no one checked whether they were wearing the Adventurer's Guild emblem to prevent those who were not adventurers from entering.
"Strange," Lu Changfeng didn't realize how easily he entered Cyril City until he entered it, "Are there no guards here?"
"What guards?" The cat girl in front also asked in a strange tone, "Why are there guards here?"
"Because... because there are some in Besser City?" Lu Changfeng replied tentatively.
The guards of Besser City also check whether the adventurers entering have the emblem with them. Their professionalism is comparable to the guards at the entrance of an elementary school checking whether there are students on duty with red scarves.
"Dermis?" Yun Guang also asked in a low voice, "Don't you need a coat of arms to enter Cyril?"
"No need," Bai Jinshu also frowned slightly, "I didn't feel it."
There were no magic patterns of the Grand Mage under the city of Cyril, and the moment one entered the city, there was no feeling of being affected by any spell.
The Grand Mage didn't set up magic patterns on Cyril, why?
Originally, everyone thought that the reason why fighting and spells could not be used in Besser City, as well as the fact that permission was required to enter and exit, was because of the restrictions set by the Grand Mage. However, it seems that Besser City is special...
Cyril City, one of the four main cities, does not use this kind of thing.
If we have to explain what is special about the city of Besser, the only explanation is that the Grand Mage's Mage Tower is in the city of Besser.
But there was nothing in the Mage Tower. Not to mention what was far away, they had only broken into the Mage Tower once before. If there was something inside, Delmis would have discovered it long ago.
"Besser City actually has guards," the cat girl was a little surprised that she hadn't noticed their whispered conversation. "I've always heard that entering and leaving Besser City is very strict, but it's so strict that there are guards... We Cyril can enter and leave freely."
"The Fairy War..." Enoch said vaguely, "Besser City fought a war with fairies. At that time, fairies sneaked into the city and almost caused an accident, so there are guards."
"Oh, that's right," the two cat girls suddenly realized and were fooled, "We were still young when the goblin war broke out."
Everyone followed suit and found out that unlike the city of Besse which had only one entrance and exit, the city of Cyril had five main gates and more small gates, and the gate they had just passed through was a small gate.
It is a door specially used for transporting goods.
"Cyril has so many gates," Guan Hongyan whispered to the others in the back, "Besser City only has one gate, isn't that too big of a difference?"
"Is it to strictly control who can enter and leave?" Su Hao guessed, "Aren't only those wearing the Adventurer's Emblem allowed to enter Besai City?"
"Isn't that a large identification array? What can two guards control? Anyway, there are only two guards at the main gate, so adding three more gates means six more guards." Bai Moth twitched his lips. "It's just that there are fewer people in the Western fantasy world. Otherwise, if it were in a modern city, even if it was a small county town with only one way in and out, it would be blocked for dozens of minutes during festivals. If it were in a big city, you would have to queue for three weeks just to enter the city."
"If I were the city lord, I would find six more guards to open three more gates to ease the traffic pressure." Guan Hongyan crossed his arms.
"Wake up, this is a game," Xu Zichen said bluntly, "Whether there will be a traffic jam or not is just a matter of a word from the server. Can't the server just set fewer people to pass through the gate?"
Guan Hongyan: ...
"We are talking about practical issues," she rolled her eyes. "Since this place has become an independent little world, it must not just be the arrangement of the server."
"Just now Enoch mentioned the goblin war," Yun Guang corrected, "Maybe the explanation to the public is to prevent the goblins from entering again..."
"Doesn't that mean that the Grand Mage has been planning this since the Fairy War?" Zhao Yinglai suddenly spoke.
"Hiss," Guan Hongyan blinked, "Yes."
Yes, if other cities have more than a dozen gates and only Besser City has one because of the war, then why is there still only one gate after the Fairy War?
If he wanted to make a fuss about the goblin war, then the opportunity for the great magician to travel across the continent must have been around that time.
That is, after the goblin war many years ago, the great wizard decided to set up a magic circle in Besser City for some reason, so that only those who swipe the gate can enter the city. Then he searched for many years for a purple-haired adventurer, bought the Perrin Mine, and traveled all over the continent to carve these
"Why are there so many people recently..." As everyone was thinking, the two cat girls walking in front complained casually, "Has anything happened in the city recently?"
"No?" the other one thought about it.
The exploration team members following behind the two: ...
Of course nothing happened in Cyril City, it was them who were in trouble.
As soon as they entered Cyril City, everyone felt how popular the topic of "Looking for Lao Zhang" was. I don't know if it was because there were already so many players in the city, or if the group of players they met at the city gate had already sent out the videos and photos, but now the streets of Cyril City are almost all filled with players.
The blue light of teleportation scrolls kept lighting up around them, and as the light lit up, players appeared in the city.
It was obvious that these newly teleported people had received the news. As soon as they landed, they ran towards the city gate, and the rest of the players followed them.
The players ran along, and the light effects on their clothes floated along, with pets flying, running and swimming around, making it look extremely lively.
"I can barely imagine what it was like when this game was so popular," Bai Mo said in a low voice with gritted teeth after being bumped into by three players who were rushing to the city gate to watch the fun. "What does that mean? How can online games have collision volumes?"
This group of players simply don't take passers-by NPCs seriously. They don't even say sorry when they bump into them, but just keep running forward with their heads down.
"It would be interesting if they knew that the person they just bumped into was the one they were looking for," Guan Hongyan gloated as she watched the players' mass migration.
"Don't be funny," Yun Guang held his forehead with his hand, "With so many people, if it weren't for Dermis, we wouldn't be able to enter Cyril City."
It was obvious that this group of players were coming for them. If it weren't for Delmis, they would be surrounded and unable to move, let alone being treated as NPCs and walking around the streets in front of the players.
The players ran towards the city gate, which aroused the curiosity of the NPCs who had no idea what was going on.
As everyone walked along, they discovered that not only were the players running towards the gate, but curious NPCs were also following behind, with some even stopping the players to ask what was going on at the gate and what had appeared.
The players naturally wouldn't say that Lao Zhang, the creator of the game, appeared at the city gate. n.pc couldn't get an answer, so some people were curious and ran to the gate together.
"Where are we going now?"
Standing on the roadside where adventurers were coming and going, everyone lowered their voices and said, "Dermis, can you feel where the magic pattern is?"
The places they visited these days were all independent buildings in the deep mountains. Basically, as long as they found the ground paved with magic sand, they could be sure that the magic pattern was underneath, and then they could just start digging.
But Cyril City... is one of the four main cities in the game.
If I want to find a piece of ground paved with magic sand here, do I have to walk all over this big city?
"No," Bai Jinshu shook his head bluntly, "These magic patterns carved on the ground have no effect at all."
Only after Enoch completes the connection between magic patterns does it possess the basic characteristics of magic patterns.
If you want to find this thing, you can only look for magic sand.
"Why don't we ask the alchemists here?" Xu Zichen suggested. "The Perlan Mine comes here once a month. If there are alchemists here, they may know where the materials were transported."
"It shouldn't work," Yun Guang thought for a moment and shook his head, "This material is too rare, and few people use it."
Most alchemists probably wouldn't pay attention to who buys a material every month that is not suitable for them.
"What about you?" Guan Hongyan looked at Enoch, "Do you know anyone in Cyril?"
"...The spellcaster at the Perrin Mine was a Cyril." Enoch said weakly.
"Forget it then," Guan Hongyan made a prompt decision, "It's better to ask your creditor than to ask her... Wait, your creditor?"
Enoch: "What's wrong?"
Why wait a moment?
"Your creditor gave us 5,000 magic stones to let you wear rabbit ears..." Guan Hongyan seemed to be thinking about something, "I forgot about it these days, but I think people should still have a spirit of contract, otherwise what's the difference between me and you."
Enoch: ?
What does "what's the difference between me and you" mean?
It's just that you don't pay back the money!
——————————————————————————————
A few minutes later, a group of nameless NPCs dressed like adventurers walked down the street against the crowd.
One of them even had towering bunny ears.
Players who were passing by and rushing to find Lao Zhang all cast their eyes on this strange passerby with rabbit ears and cat tail as they ran past them.
"You really didn't lie to me?" Enoch even heard someone shouting in shock as they passed by him, "I didn't believe you when you said there were a lot of bugs in the game, but now I see that some NPC models actually mixed up the cat man and the rabbit man!"
"I told you so!" his friend argued, "So Lao Zhang must be dead! Otherwise, why would he allow such an obvious mistake to happen in the game!"
"Didn't someone just say that Lao Zhang appeared at the door?" the man asked.
"Someone else said that the old Zhang that appeared in the test was not a player but an NPC!" His friend's voice became increasingly blurred as the distance between them grew farther and farther. "So I said that Wei Yu must be hyping up a sequel..."
"Are you still playing the sequel?"
"I won't play it. There are so many problems in the game. Lao Zhang must be dead. The games made by others don't have the same flavor..."
Enoch, who listened to the whole thing, said:?
Who is the problem?
Who has made him become like this?
Bydermis, that's all right.
He silently glanced at the half-bone necromancy spell, and reviewed in his mind how the other party summoned a bunch of skeletons to dig holes, exploited the labor of the ghost captain who couldn't touch any real objects, and when teaching Enoch spells, he kept using fire dragons and water dragons, and he calmed down instantly.
Isn’t it just that the cat ears turned into rabbit ears? This is normal, very normal... It’s better than losing your life.
And these people will definitely not kill him now. He knows the magic pattern, and it may be related to the Grand Mage. They are targeting the Grand Mage.
They won’t kill the Grand Mage as well, will they?
Will we deal with him together then?
If he follows Hector and calls him master and mistress now, can he be saved?
The surrounding exploration team members were completely unaware of Enoch's complex psychological activities.
With the mentality of trying everything possible, everyone was prepared to refer to the way the indigenous people dealt with difficult problems. They went directly to the Adventurer's Guild to post a commission, and then waited for someone who knew the situation to come.
Now that we have five thousand magic stones, of course we should let others solve the problem.
Everyone walked into the door of the Adventurer's Guild very calmly. Yun Guang stepped forward to register and issued a commission to [find a buyer of magic sand in Cyril City]. In order not to make the purpose too obvious, they did not indicate that it was "magic sand from the Perrin Mine", but just made up an excuse that one of their teammates was an alchemist who needed this material but could not find a purchasing channel, so he wanted to ask his colleagues.
Enoch's registered occupation was alchemist. The receptionist did not doubt their motives. However, when she saw the registered name "Happy 523rd Wedding Anniversary to Teacher and Mrs.", she was shocked for a few seconds and just stared at Enoch.
"What are you looking at..." Enoch curled his lips, "Have you never seen an alchemist?"
"You...your registered gender is female?" the receptionist asked hesitantly.
"I am a male who psychologically identifies himself as a female." Enoch said indifferently.
"But, but the race is human?" the receptionist hesitated.
"You mean this?" Enoch pointed to his ear.
The receptionist nodded.
"It's a hairpin," Enoch said calmly, "Any questions?"
"Can you take it off to prove it?" the receptionist said with difficulty, "But it's okay if you don't prove it. I'm just curious..."
I'm curious why someone can be called "Happy 523rd wedding anniversary to teacher and mistress" and then be a male with a psychologically cognized gender of female. I don't know if he is a human, a cat man, or a rabbit man.
It's too complicated.
Has the world outside become so complicated?
Or are all the adventurers from your city of Besser so abstract?
"No," the adventurer from Besai City refused stiffly, "My teacher will kill me."
Receptionist:?
"Look," Enoch said in a flat voice, "my teacher and his wife are here."
"Have you finished registering?" Bai Jinshu crossed his arms, "Hurry up."
Why is it so slow every time I come to the front desk?
Receptionist:?
"Is this your teacher?" She pointed at the two half-human, half-skeletal people behind Enoch with a shocked look on her face.
Enoch: "And my master's wife."
He decided to hold on to the big thighs to the end.
Receptionist:!
The receptionist was shocked.
The author has something to say:
...Why is it getting later and later? It's so late today. First 40+ random 20
Gone is my sugary healthy routine...it must be the fault of the geomagnetic storm!
