Chapter 240. After The Maintenance
After the maintenance, the players of "Fantasy World" went online like mad dogs after 48 hours of withdrawal symptoms.
The players who logged off in the human town were surprised to find that there were two more NPCs in the city, military supplies officer and battlefield recruitment officer, who were near the military camp and cooperating with the local guards to recruit soldiers.
This recruitment was different from joining the town's support guards in the past. The latter needed to carry out a large number of daily patrols, accompanied by trivial matters such as beating up rogues, bandits, and pickpockets. They might even be dragged into the stinking ditch by the local gangs and beaten half to death.
The target of the recruitment this time was the battlefield.
After becoming a soldier, players whose local reputation was below 'friendly' would not only immediately obtain 'friendly' reputation, but they would also receive a salary every month depending on their 'military rank'.
Military ranks were determined by glory points. There were many ways to obtain glory, and the most straightforward one was to " kill enemy forces.
As for the enemy forces, what was it?
He did not say it yet.
This was like an empty check, and whatever was written on it would be written.
In addition, glory points could be used to exchange for a lot of things, such as standard equipment, and it was a set with excellent attributes.
Then there were the materials, such as "Magic Breaker III" and "Penetration IV", which were difficult to achieve in the past and were strictly controlled. They would appear in bundles on the exchange list, tempting the desire for slaughter and turning the players into a sharp knife, stabbing at any place they desired.
The players who became soldiers would immediately undergo a period of training that could not be considered short, but this was definitely not the kind of training mode that did not give anything like 'sharpening the blade will not delay the work of cutting wood'.
This was a f*cking pie that fell from the sky!
Training would give a large amount of experience, and the training itself was considered a mission. If the results were good, there would be a large reward, which included experience, money, and honor points.
Could there be anything better than this?
Most of the players were dumbfounded by the huge benefits.
What was going on?
Did "Fantasy World" take the wrong medicine?
Before the maintenance, he was still cold and indifferent, throwing out a world with a high degree of freedom and reality for you to explore freely. Now, he suddenly became so active and passionate, grabbing you and not letting go. Missions came one after another, and he was just short of opening your mouth and pouring experience points into it.
The taste had changed.
Almost everyone had the same feeling.
However, with the benefits in front of them, who would care about the change?
Ninja Blade was at the entrance of the military camp in Makus City. In front of him were at least 300 players, ranging from level 12 to 30. They were all squeezed together in a mess and led into the military camp one by one.
He was wrapped in a large cloak, frowning, thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, he walked towards the Mage Tower.
The street was unusually quiet. When he turned a corner, he saw two people in front of him.
"Master?"
Ninja Blade could not help but cry out.
Before him was aske, a level 75 Great Swordsman with a level 60 Elementalist subclass.
Hilda was standing beside him, and he was also the senior brother of Ninja blade.
Eske was a Half-elf, and although his bloodline gave him extraordinary "puberty" for battle, just like Saiyans, it did not give him a long life. Now that he was in his seventies, he looked no different from a normal old man.
As a Swordsman, Ninja Blade was now Level 42. On the player-created ranking list, he was undoubtedly the first. Because of his amazing leveling speed and concentration, among Eske's many apprentices. Both players and NPCs-Ninja Blade had the highest personal reputation.
In other words, the old man doted on this talented and good-natured student the most. He had even comforted Ninja Blade by saying, "It's alright, I couldn't speak clearly when I was young, but later I learned to let this sword speak on my behalf.
To a certain extent, the care and recognition that Ninja Blade received in the game was much more than in the real world.
Now, the old man's figure looked somewhat desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Small edge, ah!"
The wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and although his smile was kind, it was somewhat guilty.
there's something I have to tell you. Forget it, I just came to say that I'm going back to Elfheim.
Hearing this, Hilda pine wood simply took a step forward and said, "Junior Brother, Master is thin-skinned and can't say some things. I'll say it for him. He had already promised to let you go to the Solon ruins to train, but he doesn't intend to do so now. After all, the ancient sword of the elves can not be stained with the blood of their own people."
Although Ninja Blade had been pushed to become the leader of the Flame Knot, he was not stupid. He instantly understood what was going on.
The intention of the United Holy Kingdom's sudden conscription could not be more obvious, and the spearhead was almost aimed at Elfheim.
His race was the same as most of aske's apprentices, human.
It seemed that with the progress of the recruitment campaign after the maintenance, most of the players and NPCs could not resist the temptation of benefits and joined the army. Thus, they drew a clear line with aske.
Presumably, the old man was also very uncomfortable.
He might have thought that Ninja Blade would do the same.
Furthermore, he had promised her that when he reached level 50, he would go to the Solon Ruins to train and obtain a set of ancient elven light leaf armor and many other benefits.
An elf's promise was the most precious because every elf would defend their promise with their life. But this time, in the face of right and wrong, aske chose to sacrifice himself. It had to be said that this was a great sacrifice.
Looking at the old man's apologetic eyes, Ninja Blade gently shook her head.
He took out the badge given to him by the Makus City and gently tossed it up.
With a flash of cold light, the badge was split into two. It fell naturally in the air, and when it landed, it had already become two pieces of burnt iron.
At the same time, the temporary residence that the 'rich flame knot' had spent one and a half months and 3000 gold coins to apply for was wrapped up in a barrier.
The damage to the badge meant that they had lost the right to use this temporary base, and the several months of rent they had paid would not be refunded.
Ninja Blade was not a talkative person, but the meaning behind her actions was obvious.
Eske was stunned for a few seconds before he was overjoyed.
"Ninja Blade, you, you want to come with us?"
She nodded.
"Then let's not delay. Let's set off now. Although the teleportation formation to Silver Horn Bay has been disabled, I've already prepared good horses. We can leave the territory of Makus City in a day."
"No," she said.
Ninja Blade looked at the sky that was about to turn dark and pointed to the west of the city.
