3. Chapter 3 The nobles who have long since disappeared
The speaker uses Bolinga, which is the common language in the human world. After playing for seven years, Roddy is naturally familiar with the language of this world. He is a technical resident. One of the major characteristics of the technical resident is that they always have amazing perseverance to obtain amazing achievements. Although Roddy is not a master of eight languages in reality, in the game, he is one of the few players who can directly communicate with Bolinga and NPC.
The characteristic of the game "Splitting" is a simile and a great degree of realism. Advanced technology, including neuralgia connections, is certainly not comparable to online games played with mouse and keyboards in the past. The language used is a self-created language, and the degree of perfection is no less than that of the Klingon language in "Star Trek" or the elf language in "Lord of the Rings". There are dozens of individually created languages in the game, eight of which can be used to communicate in any native language - but most players choose to use the language translator in the game to talk with NPC. Few are willing to learn complicated languages and give up the time to level up and fight monsters and brush equipment.
But Roddy is one of the very few existences, and it is precisely because he has studied the history and language of the game that he finally achieved something far beyond ordinary people.
"I'm fine, captain."
Of course, Roddy would not say directly, "You group of wastes were chased by the green-skinned barbarians, and he was so embarrassed to ask me if I was fine." At least in this mission copy, he still understood what to say - this game pays attention to "rp", not the abbreviation of "character", but the English abbreviation of "role play", which means that the more your behavior language fits the plot in the game scene, the higher the interaction rate with NPC.
I remember that Roddy was also a guy who studied "Actors' Self-cultivation". Although his acting skills are not as good as Hollywood actors, he is certainly easy to fool NPC.
He quickly adjusted his state and whispered like an ordinary team member: "Captain, the enemy does not have much equipment left behind. I think we need to bury the dead brothers. After all, the war horses are no longer enough for us to bring their...corpses back."
Roddy tried to be sad and his words were full of humble words. He had already learned the identity of the other party from the vice captain's emblem on Carter's chest, and the body wearing the captain's emblem was not far away. At this moment, the team was of course the other party's commander. As for "Dead Brothers" and other words, it was completely the line played by the plot. Roddy actually didn't even know the name of the captain in front of him, but what he knew was... before he didn't understand what kind of copy this was, don't treat yourself as a leader. Everything had to be found from the interaction of NPC and then make decisions.
After hearing Roddy's pure Bringa speech, Deputy Captain Carter quickly signaled the scout behind him to cooperate with the body to clean up the body, but he was extremely surprised that the opponent's strength suddenly became so terrible - the series of actions just now were not like what a new recruit could do, and a short bow could be used to snatch the throat? Even the veteran who participated in the border war many years ago, no one could kill people in such an incredible way, right?
Let’s look at the orcs who fell dead around them, either their throats or their mouths were shot by arrows. Who has been a soldier understands what it means to reach this level of archery?
A fixed target allows you to shoot twenty meters away, and there are many scouts who can have a high hit rate during training, but as long as you go to the battlefield, these people can have a hit rate of one-third of the time, which is enough to be an elite soldier for Lord Kirk!
The one who just met was a group of strong orcs who could move and run. They were not a straw target with red hearts in the middle... How could he shoot so accurately?
Of course, what Carter didn't know was that the young man he called "Lodi" in front of him was actually a former 115-level ranger player.
The calculation of player levels in "Split" is superimposed, that is, "basic profession level + advanced profession level". Roddy has two advanced profession levels, namely "Ranker" at level 59 and "Berserker" at level 31. The basic profession is "Legislature Soldier" at level 25.
The capping level of the basic profession is 25, so his "legend soldier" is at full level, while there are at most two "advanced professions" and there are no capping - but in advanced professions, level 30 and level 60 are two major thresholds, because these two levels are not upgraded with enough experience value, but they need to pass a series of difficult and dangerous trial tasks, among which level 60 is extremely difficult, almost stuck more than 99% of players cannot upgrade, but once they pass this threshold, the player's strength will be leapfrog improvement.
From this we can see Roddy's strength - two profession levels: 59 and 31, which means that among all the players who "break the soil" are already considered the group of people in the first echelon of "professional high-level".
However, now, Roddy found that his equipment, skills and even titles disappeared, and he had completely become a new recruit, and was probably the one with the lowest status. Looking at the white military uniform that he washed, he realized that this was definitely not the result of thrift and thrift... The logistics officer of the military system was greedy for some reason and naturally took action. Unfortunately, he seemed to be the most cowardly person.
Carter, who was standing in front of Roddy, swallowing, not knowing what to say.
Of course he noticed the changes before and after Roddy. What did Roddy look like before this? He was really just a little boy who was called to drink. What about now?
Although Carter is just the deputy scout captain in the village, he has dealt with the awesome knight masters in the territory and thinks he is knowledgeable - so at this moment he vaguely feels... he's better not offend this guy who suddenly explodes.
After figuring this out, Carter left some thoughts in his heart. Seeing that Roddy was about to bury his comrades with the remaining two comrades, he immediately spoke out: "Lodi, if it weren't for you, we would have all gone to see Goddess Ski... I think you are seriously injured, so let's take a break first."
These words were extremely polite, but he knew in his heart that he was actually urging Roddy in front of him by siping "little bastard" and drinking...
Lodi?
Of course, Roddy's hearing is not bad. He frowned and did not think it was a coincidence that the deputy captain called his name wrong twice. If there was a correct judgment, it was that his current identity was not the player "Rody", but a recruit named "Rody".
What kind of copy is this? Although Roddy was more and more confused, he still replied politely: "My injury is not in the way. Captain, what is our next task?"
"Task?" Carter was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was still using nonsense? Of course, he should leave this ghost place quickly! But the words were changed to: "We cut off the orc's head and take it back to Nolan Village. I hope Lieutenant Soding can understand that the enemy has paid a heavy price... I think your credit will definitely make the Lieutenant give some rewards."
Although he was jealous, Carter still understood that it was entirely appropriate for the other party to get some medals of merit. After all, he could not kill so many strong orcs by himself. However, Roddy's subsequent words made him open his eyes wide - "Captain, I am just an ordinary private. You killed six orcs in this battle, and I was slightly injured to cover you, right?"
Roddy has had countless dealings with similar NPCs. In this case, he was stupid and asked for credit, and he would probably end up offending people randomly. On the contrary, although his righteous words were to give away the credit, the system would actually hand over his rewards in the end - don't offend NPC, especially remember to please his friend NPC... This is one of the most important experiences he has played games for seven years.
Although Vice Captain Carter was a little afraid of Roddy's strength, he still showed a "you are very good" expression after thinking about it. After shirking the blame, he accepted it by default, and became even more polite. He asked about his well-being and took out the wine bag he carried with him and threw it to Roddy. The latter took a mouthful of gratitude, but his face was burned red in an instant. He coughed for a long time and handed it back. This scene made Carter laugh and patted his shoulder. The two seemed to be much closer.
The remaining scouts moved the horses, and the only four living people took the relics of their comrades, rode on horseback and started returning on their original route.
Where did you go? Roddy was feeling dizzy when he was complaining about the poor drink in his heart. He had never heard of the wine that caused him to be drunk after drinking it?
Although the "breaking soil" connects the nerves, it cannot simulate the results of alcohol at all. Roddy is clear about this.
But no matter what... just follow the NPC. Roddy dizzily judged the surrounding scenery on the horse's back and found that his vision was still empty - the original various plug-ins and default skill bars disappeared completely, and the minimap function was also gone, and then he found out in great pain... He could not remember what direction this was in the Naihemiya Plain.
The otaku Roddy felt a bad premonition, and he felt a little weird when riding a horse - it seems... it's not so turbulent in the game...
Why is it so real? Is the game updated the patch package online?
The scouts in the team were extremely silent because of their sacrifices. Except for Carter, the remaining two were not old, both of whom were around twenty years old. They knew at a glance that they were not very capable. Although they had weapons, they were too weak, and they were completely the kind of soft-boy who could not go to the battlefield. As a "senior high-spirited player", Roddy was of course qualified to judge this way, but while he was secretly observing these guys, he discovered a not-so-great fact...
The military uniforms of these soldiers obviously belong to the old-fashioned military uniforms of the Kingdom of Karen. He did not pay attention to them in the previous battles. Now he carefully saw a symbol on his shoulders and other soldiers: the head of the wolf, a wolf-head logo on the side.
How could this emblem appear here? "The Head of the Wolf" is the symbol of the Russiflon family in the Kingdom of Karen. This family has been on a downward trend since the game started. Players born in the Human Empire will receive many tasks about this family from the novice village. It can be said that they are familiar with the name "Russiflon".
However, as the game progressed, conflicts between foreign troubles broke out in the kingdom and began to split completely. The Russiflon family became the representative of the "traitorous party" in the struggle and had long disappeared in the war.
Then...what are these people now? Remnants of the thief party?
But what am I myself?
