Chapter 641: More Fun in the Game
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In this prosperous city, people from different places thronged on the streets.
One could always hear news about the neighboring nations while being here.
"What's happening?" Seeing the godly palace knights all over the streets, one mercenary complained.
"Didn't you hear that the Judgement Godly Palace is searching and arresting assassins all over the world?" another mercenary whispered, "I wonder what the assassins did to them. Obviously, the assassins enraged the people of the godly palace."
"I heard that they were humiliated by an assassin in the Elf Clan; I wonder if that's true..." the mercenaries talked among themselves in low voices.
"It might be true..." another person surmised, "It's no wonder that they are making a big deal of it. I remember the Dulan Workshop once boasting about bringing their new mystical realm into the Elf Clan, but they no longer talk about it anymore."
Obviously, these mercenaries were not stupid and could figure out the rough edges of the whole situation from some clues.
"But I think... this is about it; they don't dare do anything outrageous here," a mercenary wearing dark brown leather armor glanced around and said.
"Our Morning Light Empire is a free nation that allows people to believe anything they want, which is why we don't see anything outrageous here. You can go and have a look in the neighboring nation. It's a nation that believes in the God of Judgement, and the whole nation is helping them capture the assassins. There's no hiding place for assassins in that nation! I heard that they had captured many assassins and planned to execute them together."
"More! I heard that those assassins captured during the assassination attempt of Luther in Grey Eagle City will be executed too."
At this moment, a few figures passed them, and they suddenly stopped.
Harrison clenched his fists, and his shoulder shivered slightly.
"Calm down! They want to lure us over!" Another assassin tightly grabbed onto him.
"I know..." Harrison roared hoarsely, "But they are our peers! Our brothers and sisters! Does the Brotherhood know about it?! They should fight for freedom instead of being hung on the godly palace's scaffold!"
The low-profiled, middle-aged assassin who had grown up in a slum lost his usual composure.
"We should let more peers know about free will and the master assassins. I think they will like this place as we do!" Harrison said, "We'll move in stealth and perform the leap of faith together; it doesn't matter even if we're discovered."
"During our free time, we can drink Cappuccino and talk about the stories in Assassin's Creed." He described his ideal life in a mild voice. Then, this middle-aged man's voice broke into a sob. "I want them to know that we're not lowly and filthy mice; I want them to know that being an assassin is a great profession! Do you know... I have plans for them..."
"They shouldn't be hung on the damn scaffold!"
...
"Ugh? How come this shop is closed?" While they talked, the mercenaries passed a shop selling alchemy items and found that it had been shut down.
"Isn't this the Merlin Workshop's alchemy item shop? How come it's closed?" Obviously, this mercenary used to buy alchemy items from this shop. "What happened..."
"I wonder how the people in this shop had dealings with assassins?" At this moment, another group of people passed the shop, pointing at it while they talked.
"I have no idea. But I heard that one assassin used a sword made by the Merlin Alchemy Workshop in an assassination attempt on some priests and even broke a priest's protective godly spell with this sword..."
"The Rebel's Blade?" The Rebel's Blade had once appeared in a rebellion in the Radiant Light Godly Nation, and this blade full of curses had once broken the godly spell barrier set up in the anti-mage array.
"It seems similar, but it obviously isn't as powerful as that legendary sword," another person said.
"But I heard that the owner of the shop hasn't been captured yet, so he probably escaped to another nation, which is why all the shops have been closed."
"It's a good shop though... Alas! Let's move on."
...
"Sir, is the trailer out today?"
"Sir, it's still not released today?"
Almost everyday day, the elves came into the shop eagerly in anticipation.
So did the mercenaries who lived in the city and the knights of Golden Griffin Knight Legion.
Obviously, today's trailer was more informative.
In fact, Fang Qi was watching it too since this trailer wasn't introducing the game's background; Fang Qi knew those things too well.
This trailer showed how to play the game and operate in the game.
Obviously, the new version of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 not only increased the degree of freedom and openness but added extra content and details.
For example, in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1, Li Xiaoyao was the only main character, and players could only choose him to play the game.
In the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, there were two main characters which were Jing Tian and Xu Changqing. The story was told from their respective perspectives in alternation.
However, when the players played as Jing Tian, they didn't know what Xu Changqing was doing and couldn't choose to play Xu Changqing either. The same happened when they played Xu Changqing.
The system remake of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was different.
In the trailer, everyone watched Murong Ziying practicing sword techniques in the Qionghua Faction and saw some scenes about his daily interaction with his nephew-disciples. Those scenes happened before he met Yun Tianhe. The players could unlock the storyline of Murong Ziying and play the game from his perspective after playing as Yun Tianhe to a certain level.
Besides, the trailer demonstrated how to play as Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha whom could only be played by female players.
Different from the original game in which the players could only choose one of the four characters to play, the trailer showed that in the new version, four players could enter multi-player mode and control Yun Tianhe, Murong Ziying, Liu Mengli, and Han Lingsha respectively.
However, in this mode, the players had to trigger different plots and interactions. In single-player mode, most of the events were trigger automatically and were as real as possible.
Of course, if the four players controlled the four characters to go anywhere and do whatever they wanted, the plot of the Legend of the Sword and Fairly 4 couldn't continue properly, which was why the system had improved the game mode while giving players a greater degree of freedom.
It was a blessing to the players who liked to play the games together with their friends.
Chapter 642: You Will Miss an Opportunity to Become Rich
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the game, players could have flying sword races and matches between the disciples of the Qionghua Faction, and many other things were added.
On the other hand, the system version re-created all the details in the forging and spirit injection of weapons.
In other words, unlike Diablo 2, the players didn't have to spend lots of time to find the details and materials about the production of items and only start researching it after getting everything that they needed. Also, unlike Dungeon Fighter Online, they didn't have to toss their items into a machine and leave their fate to chance. This time, they could experience and control the whole process of making items.
This was an artifact making skill for cultivators, and it wouldn't be available to players until Murong Ziying joined the team. After all, only Murong Ziying knew this skill among the four teammates.
...
In the castle sitting in the highest position of the city, a middle-aged man dressed in an elegant aristocratic tuxedo was silently sitting behind a desk. His black tuxedo was exquisitely tailored, and his square face was wrinkled. However, his grey mustache gave him a genial and graceful look.
At this moment, a figure had just left in a huff, slamming the door behind him.
Indifferent, the man stood up and tended to the potted plants on the windowsill as if these flowers and plants were the center of his world.
These were not precious flowers but looked like the wild pale-yellow flowers that were blooming everywhere in the city.
Of course, it might be that these flowers were seen everywhere since they were his favorite.
Then, a woman wearing knight armor and with her blond hair pulled up in a pigtail walked in.
"Oh...? I don't remember that a junior knight can enter the City Administrator's Office at will," the middle-aged man said without turning his head.
"I also don't remember those promises that a man said to Mother before he forgot them the next second." Helen didn't look a bit meek.
"Um..." The middle-aged man's calm expression turned stiff before he said in a deep voice, "You should call me Father."
Helen turned her head sideways, and stubbornness appeared on her pretty face.
After a long pause, the middle-aged man seemed to give in first. He said mildly, "The messenger of the Judgement Godly Palace came to me a moment ago."
"What did he want?" Seeming concerned, Helen turned her head back and asked the question.
"Shut down," the middle-aged man said. "He asked me to shut down the shop with official force."
Seeing Helen's intense gaze on him, he shook his head and said, "I refused."
Seeming to sense her displeasure, he continued, "I didn't do it to help you. After all, our Morning Light Empire is a nation of free faith, and it's not right to allow the Judgement Godly Place to dominate others."
"This is not the Radiant Light Godly Nation, and they can't do whatever they want in this place."
"It's your decision; don't expect gratitude from me." Helen opened the door and walked out. When one of her feet was outside the door, she added, "That damn shop owner seems powerful; I don't think he needs anyone's help."
"Okay." Looking at Helen who was walking away, the middle-aged man shook his head and chuckled.
...
"Damn it! He just married into power; he's just a stupid lowly ant! What is he without the Hymia Family! What right does he have to refuse me?!" A vicious roar sounded in the godly palace; it came from Glass.
"We have other plans." At this moment, the red-robed senior priest walked over. "Anyway, we must deal with the assassins first. Without assassins, that shop's assassin mystical realm will have no reason to exist.
"Believe me, that shop owner is only an ignorant alchemist seeking his death. Anything is void before the force given by the almighty god. He will end up like the alchemist named Merlin from the Stan Kingdom."
At the mentioning those lofty existences, he sounded extremely reverent.
Glass asked, "When will the assassins be executed?"
"Two to three weeks later."
"So long?" Glass asked in surprise.
"Be patient," The red-robed senior priest said, "We set up a great trap for them under the direction of St. Dulan. We'll give the assassins more time to come and rescue the prisoners."
"Of course. This way, we'll capture all these damn assassins!" Glass sneered, "They probably don't know. We must reserve many things and not show them to the public."
For example, they didn't put every anti-assassination skill in their newly released mystical realm.
The red-robed senior priest said in a chilly voice, "If they think that those skills are all that we have, then they must pray to their great predecessor Altair to protect them in Hell! Hahaha!"
"Of course! We'll have a real battle instead of a practice."
Laughter sounded in the palace.
...
Mr. Fang got up quite early this morning. It could be that the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 would be finally released today, or it could just be that it was a day with nice weather. Anyway, Mr. Fang walked downstairs before the opening time.
Used to Mr. Fang's punctuality since he always opened the shop on time, no customers came to the shop at this hour.
It was quiet in the shop. After opening the door, Mr. Fang sat down on a couch with his breakfast; a bowl of instant noodles and a sausage.
At this moment, a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties stopped at the door. He was wearing a white mage robe with blue edges and a pointy mage hat.
Travel-fatigued, he paused for a while outside the door before walking in.
At first glance, this man looked very young, but his eyes appeared as deep as the starry night sky. Also, he moved with a maturity and confidence that didn't belong to a young man.
"Sir, you run cultivation mystical realms?" He looked around the shop in surprise.
Waiting for the instant noodles to be ready, Mr. Fang drank a mouthful of Sprite and nodded casually.
"Your shop... has little business..." This young man smiled as if he was trying to decide on what to say. After a while, he continued, "I think you need some help, maybe some guidance to success."
"A guidance to success?" Mr. Fang looked at him in surprise.
"Yes!" The 'young mage' who appeared to be in his twenties said, "I think you're in luck, young man. With my help, your shop will be popular very soon."
While being stunned, Fang Qi carefully studied the customer before him.
"??" While he was in a daze, the 'young man' took out a magic staff from his inner pocket as if he intended to add to his credibility and demonstrate something to convince Fang Qi.
He looked around and outside the door. After making sure that no one else was watching, he took out a stone and waved his magic staff, saying, "Do you see this stone? I'll transform it into a magic crystal."
"..."
After pausing for a while, Mr. Fang seemed to finally understand, and he said, "I got it. You're..."
"Of course I am!" While saying that, he thought, Now you know that I'm a great alchemist!
"You're a scammer, right?" Mr. Fang said.
"Pu-!" This 'young man' almost dropped to the ground.
What?! I'm Merlin, a lofty level 9 mage. And you, a young shop owner, dare to call me a scammer?!" Do I look like a scammer?
You will miss an opportunity to become rich!
Chapter 643: Major Streamers Began to Broadcast the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang stood up and pulled the man to the door. While pushing two magic crystals into this man's hand, Fang Qi waved his hand and said, "Go and find another shop."
Mr. Fang looked frustrated at this moment. It was early morning, and a scammer insisted to show him how to transform a rock into a magic crystal.
If he can do that, then I can transform a rock into a piece of gold! Damn it!
I pushed two magic crystals into his hand; now he can go and perform in another shop.
Clank!
With two low-level magic crystals in his hand, the supreme level 9 mage and master alchemist found that the door closed in his face before he could understand the situation.
This situation is strange!
Seeing a grand alchemist who can turn rocks into magic crystals, the owner of this small shop with little business was not even a little tempted?
With his great skills in alchemy and magic spells, he was welcomed in every nation as an VIP. He could make a pile of low-level cultivation mystical realms that were operated by a small shop like this one.
Merlin stood at the door with a dark expression.
Forget it!
He had planned to help this shop grow popular, and he was sure that it would be full within three months and be known all over Canglan City in one year.
With my alchemy and magic spell knowledge, this little shop owner will be terrified!
During the process, he would have a hiding place for himself...
But this shop owner just refused such a great opportunity! A gold mine!
Do you know what you've missed?! A big opportunity to get rich quickly
Even he felt anxious and pitiful for the shop owner.
Just when he was about to leave, something flashed in his peripheral.
He turned around and saw a big group of knights dressed in luxurious armor and riding on precious mounts while moving toward him slowly.
So many knights?! Looking at the golden griffin badges on their chests, he knew that they were high-level knights.
Was my identity exposed?!
No. This nation protects people's freedom of religious beliefs! When did the Judgement Godly Palace obtain such great influence in this place?!
While he was hesitating if he should make a move, the knights made a turn and passed him. Then, they all stopped and dismounted from their precious mounts.
All these knights swarmed into the shop behind him.
"Sir! Is the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 released today?!"
"Sir! You promised that the new mystical realm would be released today! Is it released or not?!"
While Merlin gaped at the knights and wondered what was going on, a big group of elves hurried toward the shop.
Elder Sewell was determined to play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 today!
She had waited so long! They wouldn't return to the Silver Moon Forest until they played it!
In a daze, Merlin turned his head and looked at them. ... When did a human city have so many elves ?
There is even an elf elder among them!
While he was wondering about the situation, a large group of mercenaries and mages swarmed over as well.
My goodness! He felt incredulous. They seem to be talking about a mystical realm...?! What? The mystical realm in this shop is so popular?!
This great alchemist who was also a mage was at a loss for words.
Do you guys know what a truly great mystical realm looks like?!
You all swarmed into this small shop and left me, a lofty existence and a great alchemist master, outside?!
Suddenly, a thought dawned on him. Is this shop owner so sure of his own alchemy skills that my skills are beneath his level, and he doesn't want to bother with me?!
If the shop owner were just an ignorant ordinary person, he would just laugh it off.
But now, he found that the situation was too outrageous to be ignored.
He strode back into the shop and shouted, "Sir, let me try that mystical realm too!"
...
After waiting in line for a while, Merlin finally got to activate the mystical realm named the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4.
"Is this cultivation mystical realm any different from all the others that I have played?" Doubting its quality, he found a seat and entered the game.
At this moment, the players in the old shops had eagerly entered the game.
In the new shop, the most popular game was still Assassin's Creed, and almost every customer played it. Even though the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was released today, many people continued playing Assassin's Creed while they waited to see the effects of the new game.
But in the old shops, the situation was different. The Assassin's Creed series was indeed good and had many fans, but the Legend of the Sword and Fairy series was among the hottest games. Its huge group of fans instantly ignited the atmosphere in the shops.
Some players couldn't come to the shops every day due to their busy schedules. After all, the shops were here and wouldn't move away. But today, even the ancient family masters in the Spiritual State put aside their daily business and came to the shop.
After all, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was released today, and they must show their support!
By now, the old shops had been divided into many zones with space-folding technology, but they were still crammed with customers today.
The Jiuhua City Shop was even busier. Many civilian players who didn't have membership cards almost broke the counter.
"Calm down! Calm down, everyone!" While waving his folding fan, Xiao Yulv sweated profusely as he said, "I promise you that everyone can play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 today. Those who are waiting can go to the lounge area to take a break and watch the livestreams, which will help you play the game better when it's your turn, right?"
"In a while, the big streamers will play the game in their livestream rooms." Right now, the Jiuhua City Shop was being managed by two senior clerks, Xiao Yulv and Yu Zhiwei. Yu Zhiwei also yelled, "Anyone who doesn't have a seat can go and watch the livestreams first. Our popular streamer, New Snow, will give us a livestream! I wonder what amazing plays New Snow will show us today! Everyone, please go and support her!"
"I heard that the big streamers of Dungeon Fighter Online such as Rosen Rain and Zhu Yanxiao will stream the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 too!" Xiao Yulv said, "I'm sure that their livestreams will be excellent! Don't miss these shows!"
"By the way, our Sister Su, Su Tianji, will put the whole process on the livestream too!"
"So many people doing livestreams?!"
"Really?!"
"Rosen Rain hasn't done livestreams for a long time, right?!"
"I want to watch New Snow's livestream!"
"Let's go and watch Elder Su's livestream! Maybe we can see her land on her face when using the leap of faith again!"
"???" Sitting near the counter, Su Tianji put down her virtual reality headset and looked back. She seemed to hear some strange words about her.
Seeing that there were no seats available, many people went to watch the livestream.
Of course, some people just watched while standing behind the computers. For example, Su Tianji and Nalan Mingxue now each had a large group of people standing behind them.
Chapter 644: Elder Su Is Being Mocked Again
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the past, Mr. Fang had to try the game first to show everyone. Otherwise the customers wouldn't know how to play. Now that the shop had released trailers showing the background of the game and the proper controls, Mr. Fang had much less work to do when the game was formally released.
By now, many players had clicked on the logo on the desktop and entered the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4.
The melodious flute tune together with the faint erhu notes felt like light floating clouds, and they brought the players to an ancient-looking square mirror. The mist and cloud in the mirror seemed to draw them into a dream-like fantasy world.
My goodness... Upon entering the game, Merlin had the feeling that this was a grand production. While scratching his head, he wondered, This is ...!!?? When did the cultivation mystic realms of this city advance to this high of a level?!
If a small workshop in this city can reach this high of a level, then I, a level 9 alchemist, probably can only be a little clerk in such a shop to survive.
How can it be?!
Astonished, he began the new game.
The elves and members of the knight legion had also entered the game.
However, the assassins including Elina and Harrison didn't have time to play this game yet since they put all their time on practicing the assassination skills in Assassin's Creed.
However, they were still curious about this new game. Right now, they stood behind the elves and watched them play with bowls of instant noodles in their hands.
"Oh! Is this the immortal realm?!" Commander Elven had just clicked on [New Beginning] when he was driven into the ancient mirror by a powerful force. The mirror fluttered like the surface of a lake, and he found that he was inside the world in the ancient mirror!
"The music is so good!" The art-loving elves found the melodious flute tune and the low and sad erhu notes harmonious and beautiful like flowing water and breezes in nature, even though they didn't know the names of the instruments.
"Are they the musical instruments from the East Continent? One of them sounds like a fipple flute?" Obviously, Elder Sewell was a music lover. She could play beautiful music with a leaf from the Silver Moon Forest. "I wonder what instrument this is. I want to try it..."
Everything looks so real! While flying through the ocean of clouds into the immortal world behind the white clouds, Merlin was stunned to his core. As a supreme-level mage, he had experienced all the things in the world that most people could never experience. However, he had never heard about any other cultivation mystic realm that could be this real!
As a master alchemist, he knew how difficult it was to achieve this level of realness.
Perhaps the East Continent had achieved a great breakthrough only in this one area. He thought as he continued the game.
Grand and beautiful buildings and palaces stood in the immortal mountains. When the players looked down, they saw many disciples wearing blue-and-white Daoist robes and standing on a platform that was surrounded by faint mist and guarded by auspicious beasts. From the distance, the disciples looked like troops that were in compact formations.
A huge lotus-shaped platform made of green and white jade hovered in the sky. Two ethereal voices came from the platform while two immortal swords, Wangshu and Xihe, emitted bright immortal light!
With spiritual essence flowing inside, the two immortal swords were engulfed by orange-red flame-like light and icy-blue frost-like light respectively.
"This is the scene shown in the trailer!" Seeing this familiar scene, the elves almost leaped up in excitement.
"I see this too!" Sitting across from them, Mercenary Crete yelled in elation as well.
The two swords came together, and a tremendous streak of spiritual essence traveled through the center of the Cloud Platform into the array pattern in the center of the stone platform surrounded by lotus flowers.
Immediately, two dazzling sword beams shot up into the sky!
The whole sky seemed to be pierced open, revealing a magical, dream-like world!
"Are they mages of the East Continent?!"
Obviously, there were many things that the players didn't understand.
However, this gave them a sense of mystery and didn't hinder the gaming experience. Subconsciously, they yelled in excitement, "Oh!"
"Elf God Almighty!" Elder Sewell was also stunned by this scene.
"What am I looking at?!"
"Don't... be afraid! It's just a mystic realm! A... fantasy world for us to...watch," a few golden griffin knights who were less sensitive hurried to explain.
At this moment, Zhu Yanxiao started his livestream in the old shop. While recovering from his shock, he stroked his short hair and said, "As you can see, this game is really awesome! Considering the high quality of the two previous games of this series, I suggest you guys try it if you're still hesitating."
At this moment, Nalan Mingxue was obviously calmer than the others in her livestream. "That's why I call the Legend of Sword and Fairy series the most anticipated work. They are exciting at the very beginning."
"I have to take a break and eat some potato chips to calm down."
"Aowu!" Then, she stuffed some potato chips into her mouth.
"Gongzi Xiao." At this moment, Mu Donglai was sitting on a couch, not able to find a seat since he was late. "I heard that you're very familiar with these livestreams. Can you recommend one to me?"
"Of course." Obviously, Xiao Yulv was well informed in this area. "According to my observation of their daily livestreams, I divide them into several big categories."
"If you want to watch excellent details, granular control, and ultimate plays, you can watch the livestreams hosted by Rosen Rain, Lord Nalan, Almighty Demonic God, and Ms. Sprite. Um, as everyone know, Almighty Demonic God is also called Almighty Smirking Face Emoji, and Rosen Rain usually works together with a dark-faced man in her livestreams."
"However, they are all ultimate professionals and have great technical foundation. It is not useful to low-level players since ordinary people can't copy their plays," Xiao Yulv said with great knowledge, "So, I usually watch Zhu Yanxiao and New Snow's livestreams since those players are easy to copy."
"Xiaoyue has a very cute style and good skills. You can watch her livestream if you like, but she doesn't livestream often."
"The livestream of Hardworking Fairy Liu is quite interesting too."
"These are streamers who I watch quite often," Xiao Yulv said, "Besides, there are streamers such as the King of Rangers and Mad Butcher. They have good skills, but I don't watch them often."
Mu Donglai said curiously, "How come you didn't mention Elder Su, Gongzi Xiao?"
"She's a idle-style streamer," Xiao Yulv whispered, "Don't tell anyone I said that..."
Mu Donglai's face twitched as he thought, Um... This... Is it really proper to mock Elder Su this way?
Chapter 645: Kui Zhao Materialized in Rock Creek Cave

At this moment, many huge demon beasts flew down from the world that appeared in the sky. In legend, tapirs were rare beasts that swallowed dreams. The dream tapirs from the Fantasy Netherworld was obviously fiercer and more elegant than those in legends. With lean and long bodies, fox-like heads, long tails, rainbow-colored feathers, and mountain-like size, they landed among the disciples of the Qionghua Faction, causing a bloody catastrophe.
Paws slashed out with blood spraying in all directions, and swords whistled, mixing with the roars of wild beasts.
The ethereal figures on the mountaintop among the clouds moved, and the sharp sword beams and chilly and alluring demonic spells formed a grand battle between immortals and demons.
The elves and mercenaries gaped at the scene with shock and awe on their faces.
The knights who were used to seeing many similar battles found that even a story in the game could be so grand and majestic!
Although they didn't understand it yet, the players felt awe-struck!
"Ugh? That's all?!" While they were enjoying it, the scene suddenly dimmed before them.
"That's the end?!"
"Who won the battle anyway?!" They had seen the moment when Chan You faked defeat and then sneak-attacked the Taiqing Spiritual Master.
[TL Note: Taiqing Spiritual Master is also known as the Grand Pure One.]
"What's happening?! Damn it! The scum shop owner did it again! We are left hanging again!?"
Mr. Fang told them that it wasn't his fault, and he thought, "The game is created Softstar; why are you blaming it on me?"
He looked sulky.
After the opening cinematics, the game started.
"Oh... This person who looks to be a faction chief was killed by the demon." In her livestream room, Su Tianji finished watching the cinematics while eating potato chips. She explained the scenes while watching it, looking quite professional.
Then, a crude wooden house appeared in everyone's eyes. Yun Tianqing's memorial tablet was placed on the table in the house, and smoke floated from the sandalwood incense sticks. Beside the table was a small boar that had been tied up for sacrifice.
"Um, how come this person looks like a savage, uh?"
On the screen was a good-looking young man with messy hair. With animal fur draped on his shoulders, the young man was wearing crude cotton clothes, and he kneeled before the memorial tablet with a dull expression. "Dad, I know I'm in the wrong. Last night, the boar's loud screams kept me up for most of the night, which is why I'm late for burning the incense sticks for you this morning. Spring passed already, so I don't know why it's screaming so much!"
The small boar that was tied on the side honked.
"Dad told me to burn three incense sticks for him in the morning and night." It seemed like he was talking to the boar. "You don't know how terrifying he looked when he got angry."
"Is he the main character?" Su Tianji ate another potato chip and said, "How come he looks so dull?"
After all, the main characters in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 and 3 are all clever, but this guy...
Su Tianji touched her head and thought, How come he looks as dull as a cattle?
...
– Meanwhile, in the new shop –
Mage Merlin was also puzzled. How come this mystical realm is different from all the others that I had seen.
The elves, knights, and mercenaries had also come to this part.
Then, they heard low roars of a boar outside the door. Obviously, the young man drew out the big boar after catching the small one.
"Great! I captured a boar, and another came for free!" Pleased, Yun Tianhe ran out the door.
Now, it was time for the players to control the main character.
"Can we use both the bow and sword?" Seeing Yun Tianhe taking out his bow, the elves who were archery masters were eager to try.
In the room, there was also a rusty thin sword. It looked old and wasn't well-maintained.
"Can we use these two weapons?" Elina and the other assassins who were watching from behind looked eager. After all, bows and swords were common weapons used in Assassin's Creed.
"I wonder how it feels to use these weapons..."
"I saw this scene in the trailer!" The players' spawn place was on Green Bird Peak which was covered by giant ancient trees that looked like screens. Behind the wooden house was a huge waterfall with a stone bridge connecting the banks of the river beneath the waterfall. Before the house was an ancient path made of green stones. Further away, there was a tall cliff. Looking over, there was the misty and beautiful scenery.
All the grass and trees in this place looked natural. For the elves, this place had a type of beauty different from the kind that they were used to seeing.
"Oh! I thought Moonlight Lake in Silver Moon Forest was the most beautiful place that I've seen..." Sala's pretty eyes looked at the picturesque Green Bird Peak in pleasant surprise. "So beautiful!"
For elves who loved art and nature, they would never miss such an opportunity to enjoy the rare natural beauty of this place.
As for the task and plot?
They would think about them later...
Yes, they were the legendary fans of beautiful scenery.
They must enjoy the natural beauty first!
The female boar had run into the Rock Creek Cave in which Yun Tianhe's father's tomb was located, but these elves ignored it and just ran around Green Bird Peak, wishing to take screenshots of each place they went.
As for the golden griffin knights and Mage Merlin, they liked the scenery as well, but they weren't as crazy over it as the elves.
"Is this just a low-level mystical realm used to practice skills...?" Merlin was puzzled. According to the previous grand battle they had just watched, this mystical realm should be a high-level one.
How come the strange savage that I'm controlling only has a little bit of strength in his body?
Were those prior images just a bluff?
...
Helen had come to this part too. In her eyes, the main character was totally different from the characters in other games, and he was extremely funny. Hahaha! This guy... how did he mistake a girl for a big wild boar?!
"He thinks that she's a demon boar; so hilarious..."
In the cave that appeared to be covered by ice crystals and ebony jade, Helen watched the conversation between this young man and a girl, and she almost spewed out iced red tea with laughter.
"Hiss-! What's this?!"
At this moment, in Rock Creek Cave, an inhuman voice sounded.
"Summoning storms and thunder with a whisper. Reaching Heaven and Earth and entering the netherworld. Changing at will into anything I like."
She looked over and saw a faint white shadow appearing before her. It had a body but no feet, looking like a spirit or a ghost with white flames burning around its body.
"Is it a ghost?" She looked shocked. As an aristocrat knight born and raised in Canglan City, she had never seen such things before!
"I'm Kui Zhao. I'm guarding this place at my master's order, and I will kill any trespassers!"
"My goodness! Look! What's this thing?!" Helen's alarming shout drew the eyes of all the people around her.
Soon, they saw the white talisman spirit which looked like an immortal.
Helen's sword techniques were good, but when she struck her sword at this thing, she found that her blade went through the body of the talisman spirit!
"This is... an alchemy creature?!" Merlin froze and then yelled, "This must be an alchemy creature; a high-level one too! It is a high-level alchemy creature immune to damage!"
Isn't this a basic mystical realm?! How come it has such things?!
Besides... Is this the alchemy of the East Continent? Their skills have advanced to such a high level?!
