Chapter 763: Super Ancient Role Playing
In the eyes of adventurers, the painting world is divided into two major types.
One is to just throw people in and explore without saying anything. If they can find the way out, they can get out. If not, they can just stay in there and wait for the time to pass, acting as the human battery of the Sion dungeon.
A representative work of this genre is the painted world Anor Londo.
One is that after the adventurer enters, he will obtain an identity related to the world of this painting and experience the content of the painting as someone in this small world.
The representative works of this type are Painting World Wolf Knight and Painting World Waste Stone, both of which were once very popular painting worlds.
Generally speaking, the second type is more common. To some extent, the painting world seems to serve the narrative of the Sen Dungeon more, and is created for adventurers to understand what legendary stories have happened in the land they are in.
If you ask Hervey which type of painting world he prefers, he will definitely answer the second one without hesitation.
After all, how can role-playing be more fun than exploring on your own?
"The last time I entered this type of painting world was when I played the role of King Elden."
He was talking about the scene where he played the role of the Fader in the painting world Waste Stone. That part was indeed very impressive.
The recently discovered replica teardrops in the Eternal City have once again made the topic of the Faders a hot topic, and the popularity of the waste stones in the painting world has also increased. The already popular topic has become even more popular now.
However, the spread of news was delayed. It was not until the arrival of church support from the Kingdom of Anor that Hervey learned about the new areas of the Eternal City. Unfortunately, even though he was interested in the area, he could not leave his post without permission.
Fortunately, the church brought some local specialties from the Eternal City to satisfy his craving.
"I must have a good time today."
Looking at the flying dragons turning around and charging towards him, Hervey roared and activated the combat skill he had mastered, [Boastful Roar].
It was not known how much fighting spirit this roar ignited in him, but at this moment, all the flying dragons that were chasing the local residents turned their heads and looked at him, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.
"Come on, your target is me!"
Hervey patted his chest and spoke loudly. After putting himself in his current identity, an ancient sun warrior, he felt that it was appropriate for him to say such lines at this moment.
So, as he wished, the flying dragons were successfully angered by his attitude and rushed over with howls.
When groups of small flying dragons move, they do not look as oppressive as giant flying dragons, but they have also lost the wisdom of giant dragons and are filled with the ferocity of monsters, which to some extent makes ordinary people feel more frightened.
Each of these small flying dragons is a powerful and ferocious monster. If they were placed in the outside world, they could directly occupy a piece of territory.
It would be difficult to deal with so many bloodthirsty hounds at the same time, let alone so many dragons.
Hervey had neither [Patience] nor [Iron Kettle Fragrance] or the Havel suit, so he couldn't stand and fight like an Ampera alien in such a powerful tide of monsters, so after attracting the monsters' attention, he turned around and ran away.
Run towards the relatively narrow alley to avoid being surrounded by small flying dragons in an open area.
Just as he led away all the small flying dragons, the local residents who were attacked finally got a moment of safety, and hope appeared on the faces of those who looked like plumper zombies.
Maybe it's a bit old-fashioned and cliché, but they cheered and expressed their gratitude directly to Hervey who was running away, fully expressing their gratitude to the sun warrior who saved them from danger.
The gratitude from the rescued person, and the gratitude from the rescued person is expressed no more than a minute after he was rescued. This real-time response is enough to make most people who lend a helping hand feel genuinely happy for this real-time positive feedback.
Just then, when He Wei heard the voice of thanks from behind, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he felt the sun badge on his body shining.
Although if you look into the details, the development here is a bit illogical.
For example, how did the ordinary people who were attacked react and express gratitude in such a short time? According to normal logic, they should have seized the opportunity to escape and leave the gratitude for later, or...
But this is just a painting world, isn't it? Why think so much about a painting world?
If you can provide the emotional and material values that adventurers expect, it can be said to be perfect!
These voices of thanks from the rescued people, who were so loud that they were not afraid of the monsters turning around to find them, successfully changed Hervey's mentality.
It changed from "Since I am now playing the role of the Sun Warrior, I might as well save those people" to "I am now the Sun Warrior, no one here can die!"
Immersed in it, he has begun to accept his current role and actively add to the drama! For example, he took the time to turn around and shout to the crowd, "You guys run, I'll cover you."
This transformation was certainly influenced by various factors in the painting world and his personal character.
But I guess it also has something to do with the super-large hypnosis magic that Gong Qiying set up here.
The main effect is to hypnotize the adventurers who come here to accept the role-playing settings. Because it does not contain any malicious intent, it is difficult to detect.
If Hervey wasn't in the middle of a tense and exciting plot, he might have discovered a problem if he had come in a few more times and thought deeply about it.
Why does it feel like this painted world has a significantly deeper emphasis on role-playing?
Previous painting worlds with this kind of element tended to introduce the role played by the adventurer, but here it seems to emphasize the adventurer's own emotional experience more?
This is because Gong Qiying made some changes that suit the national conditions of Scamiron.
In order to better adapt to the environment of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Religions and make the Sen Dungeon more localized, he has done a lot of homework these days. One of the results is a series of [Oath-type] painting worlds represented by this.
As we all know, if you want to establish a religion, the founder must first have the ability to make up and tell stories.
Make up enough legendary stories for your god, then make up a bunch of awesome followers for him, and finally modify their stories and summarize the themes into doctrines, and a brand new religion is born.
In addition, some people in Scameron have begun to use the existence of the Sen Dungeon to spread the power of religion. They are so hungry that they even pull out the Red Wolf to promote it. So
Gong Qiying used this to create a painting world for role-playing.
Sun King Gwyn, Tomb King Nito, Chaos Witch, Shadow Sun Gwyndolin, Abyss.
All the beings that are worthy of being believed in as "gods" by the Skamirons, and the oaths corresponding to them will become the themes of one painting world after another.
When an adventurer enters a painting world based on a certain oath, he will play the role of a legendary hero of that oath created by Gong Qiying and enter a customized story.
Regardless of which oath the adventurer enters into, the core purpose of this painting world is only one:
That is to make the adventurer feel from the bottom of his heart that making this oath and believing in this god is really great, cool and happy!
Rather than being arbitrarily changed and edited by those Skamilon people who have no idea of the details and cultural level.
It would be better for the city lord Gong Qiying to come out and start preaching!
It’s just that the content of the teachings he personally taught was slightly more diversified.
But in general, whether it is the Sun Warrior or the Soulsteed, whether it is the Darkmoon Sword or the Tomb King's minions, the moment they become known to the world, people's faith still points to the source of these oaths - the Sen Dungeon!
Unka has been planning for so many years, trying to use the faith of the entire Warrior Kingdom to make himself the God of Magic. This means that faith definitely has some positive effect on such a mysterious thing as "becoming a god."
In other words, faith is a good thing.
It’s just that most people don’t know how to use it, or even don’t know about this concept.
Gong Qiying had no particular desire for things like becoming a god. After all, he didn't know what the specific operational procedures were, such as whether he should find a divine committee to apply for household registration or something. Before his death, Youenka didn't open up the process of becoming a god.
Therefore, the operations he is carrying out now are essentially to make the Sion Dungeon adapt to the magical land of Scameron and better promote itself.
As for the beliefs of people who may arise in the future, he will not take advantage of them, but since they are good things, he will absorb some of them.
Maybe it will come in handy someday in the future?
So the Sun Warrior played by Hervey now can be thanked immediately after saving people, because this is the same as the mission of the Sun Warrior.
Similarly, if someone entered a painting world with the Darkmoon Sword as the theme, then after the revenge was over, they would immediately receive praise from Gwyndolin.
If those Darkmoon Blade sworn ones of Fingri came over, they would probably have a collective climax.
And now, as the first adventurer to successfully enter the world of oath-type paintings, Hervey will become an internal tester of the Sen Dungeon.
Realize how popular a Sun Warrior can be in exaggerated situations.
"Wait a minute, stop helping me and run away!"
"I really can't take it anymore, stop throwing equipment at me!"
“Are the people here so welcoming???”
In this settlement designed to imitate the architectural style of the Undead Town outside the city, Hervey's helpless and anxious voice was heard, but the most amazing thing was that there was a hint of secret joy in his voice.
That’s right, it’s secretly happy.
At this moment, the number of small flying dragons chasing after him did not decrease much. He was just leading this group of monsters in circles in the narrow alley, turning back and attacking from time to time. He was still looking for the most advantageous terrain.
But what happened here was beyond his expectations.
Whenever he ran a few steps, the windows of the houses along the alley would suddenly open.
At first he thought there was a monster hiding there planning to launch a surprise attack on him, but it turned out that he was completely wrong.
Because what appeared by the window were not monsters at all, but local residents one after another.
They shouted inspiring words like "Sun Warrior, I'm here to help you!" "Please accept my gift!" "Come on!" while taking out all kinds of things and throwing them out.
What was thrown to Hervey were green flowers, dripping stones, throwing knives, and other useful things that were not uncommon to appear in residents' homes.
What were thrown at Feilong were all kinds of pots, pans, chairs, kitchen knives, and the rarest ones were oil bottles and flame pots.
Although the damage these things caused to the monsters could only be described as better than nothing, it gave Hervey a different feeling.
“I feel like I have a connection with the people here!”
It’s like finding a close friend!
Even within the Spark Church, which shares the same faith, disagreements arise among believers for various reasons, making it impossible for everyone to be united.
But here, in this settlement, he felt like he had suddenly become a big star that everyone loved. All the residents supported him wholeheartedly and were willing to help him even at the risk of their lives.
And the reason they did this was in the words they shouted.
"Come on, Sun Warriors!"
When these words reached his ears, Hervey's body trembled violently, and goose bumps appeared all over his body. Words could not describe how he felt at the moment.
That's it.
"Were the old Sun Warriors so popular?!"
He felt a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd.
So cool!
When have I ever been treated like this?
It’s only now that I’m a Sun Warrior!
In the Concentric module of Sion's dungeon, the bond between Hervey and Sion is growing rapidly, and their personal portraits are about to appear.
An unprecedented strength surged in his heart. Hervey turned around and stopped abruptly, and the flames of the strangled dragon fangs ignited to form three flaming dragons that looked like Akiel. He was now at full firepower. He had never seen him so enthusiastic when fighting the demons in the Undead Asylum!
"I must win this time. I absolutely cannot embarrass myself in front of so many supporters!"
The scene seemed to be filled with exciting battle background music. In the eyes of the ambitious Hervey, these small flying dragons seemed to be insignificant shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
A loud roar spread all around, and a flying dragon, which had finally grown to a huge size, flew across the sky. It was obvious at a glance that it was on the side of the monsters, and the sense of oppression was extremely strong.
But in Hervey's eyes now, that thing is just a threshold waiting for him to cross.
As long as he has the support of these afterimages, he feels that he can do anything!
“It’s coming!!!”
The passionate battle begins immediately!
Poor guy.
Emotions were played upon by Sean.
