Chapter 11 Convergence (Modified and Reissued)

(The author had an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack, and because he was not satisfied, the second half of the chapter was almost cut and rewritten)

Flying eastward and leaving the barrier of the Guardian Land, Link found a four-person team in the forest, warriors, mages, rangers, priests, and standard adventurer configurations. This is the first time he has seen a human in the game, and I don’t know if it’s an NPC or a player like him.

As the distance got closer, all four of them noticed the peregrine falcon above their heads. The mage squinted his eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his staff and prepared to use it. The ranger beside him was so scared that he hurried to stop it.

"Save it!"

"Are you crazy?"

The two of them refused to give in to each other, and the pastor hurried up to persuade him, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"What are you two doing?" The warrior also joined the questioning ranks.

"The bird has obvious elemental fluctuations. It is a magic creature. It happened to be caught as a magic pet." The mage saw the peregrine falcon in the sky rising to the height and glared fiercely at his companion who was ruining his good deeds.

"Do you know that it's a magic creature?" The Ranger glared back unwillingly, "Don't forget where we are. This is the guardian land of the Pillar of the Earth, the base camp of the Druids. I don't want to lose my life because of your rash behavior."

"What a fool. He actually wants to catch magical creatures outside the guardian land..."

Hearing the dispute below, Link Gang laughed at the mage's whimsical thoughts. The Ranger suddenly looked up and his face changed drastically, "Go away, it's the Druid!"

The mage who also heard Link talk didn't care about asking for the magic pet, and cast a few spells on his companions and quickly drilled into the dense forest. Looking at their escaped backs, Link was very embarrassed. He thought that those people at this height would not hear it. It seemed that the habit of talking to himself had to be changed. Fortunately, they were afraid that the druid did not really take action. If they fought, he would definitely lose on one-on-four.

After flying east for almost an hour, I finally arrived at Hegu Town. This is a small town built on a dry river. It is surrounded by mountains and covers a small area, but has a city wall of up to four meters. Looking down from the air, it is in a strange gourd shape. There is a city gate to the west facing Link, and the guards strictly check all the entry and exit.

Link didn't expect that a small town was so vigilant. In order to prevent situations similar to those just now, he descended to the ground from afar and restored his human form. After careful inspection, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he walked towards the city gate with great strides.

"What about a face I've never seen before." A middle-aged man with a scar on his face stopped Link and looked him up and down carefully, "Isn't it a local, right?"

"The hunter in the mountains." I was afraid of saying something wrong, Link didn't even dare to report the specific direction.

"Empty hunter? What are you doing in River Valley Town?" The scar man seemed to be sure that Link was suspicious and interrogated endlessly.

Just as Link was in trouble for some excuse, a smell of barbecue came from the air. He had a sudden inspiration, "Looking for a job, it won't rain, and all the animals in the mountains will run upstream with water."

After gaining the ability to fly, Link saw from the air a large river near the Earth pillar. Even the mountain people living in the Olasio Mountains did not dare to enter the guardian land where the druids were stationed. The hunters who were short of food went down the mountain to find a job. Such a statement should be evaded.

After staring at Link for a while, the Scar Man let go, "Go in, don't make trouble."

As soon as he heard that he was released, Link pulled out and left.

"Captain, you're too nervous." The young militia beside him teased his captain.

"Bah! What do you know? Have you seen his hair and skin color? The real Alkins, the wild people living in the forest for many years, are not inferior to mercenaries. If you get angry, you will take action. They don't care whether you are a militia or a hooligan." The scar man is the militia captain in the town, responsible for local security. In his opinion, the Alkins are more dangerous than mercenaries.

"Even if he is an Alkin, with so many adventurers in the town, how big can he do."

"It's a good idea to be careful. If there is any accident, you and I can't afford it."

Link, who had already walked away, heard from the conversation between the guards that there was a reason for the investigation. He accelerated his pace, used the corner to avoid the still stuck sight, hid in a dim alley, and carefully observed the nearby streets.

This is a European town full of medieval style. Near the west, it was obviously later expanded. All the shops, wooden and iron signs also feature various image patterns on the shop name. In addition to the tailors, groceries, and taverns necessary for daily life, there are also essential potions and blacksmith shops in fantasy games. The largest and highest building is the Adventurer Union, which is also the most crowded area in the town. Adventurers dressed differently from ordinary people can be seen everywhere on the streets, either carrying arrows or wearing daggers on their backs, which is incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire town.

Those aren't all players...

Link was nervously sweating. Su Wu once said that players were more dangerous than NPCs. They were competitors in the same profession, so it was normal to secretly attack. Although the Son of Nature is a new profession that has never appeared before, at this moment he disguised himself as a mountain hunter. Will he be regarded as a ranger...

Alas, I can't care about that much, and the agreed deadline is only one day, so I have to find Su Wu quickly.

Link chose the first target - a wrought iron sign inlaid with wine glasses. Whether it is novels or games, the tavern is one of the most important sources of intelligence. Once he pushed the door, he regretted it. The smoky and stinky tavern in the crowded tavern were mixed with alcohol, sweat, and inferior perfume, which stimulated his sensitive sense of smell.

Three burly men sat at the table near the door and shouted to Link: "Hi~ Newcomer, do you want to join us? There is a place to go."

After glanced around with the light, Link shook his head when he was sure that he said to him.

"I'll find someone."

"Boy, I'll ask you to join in with you." Another stronger man stood up while slapped the table, his loud voice attracted people around him to turn around.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Link was about to quit when he suddenly sensed someone from behind and directly put him on his shoulder.

"He has a team." The understatement made the three strong men sit back with a look of tolerance.

Link turned around and saw the man wearing a bright red robe, with shiny runes embroidered with collars and cuffs, and a transparent crystal short stick was tied to the golden belt of the slut.

"Su..."

"Shut up!"

The mage pulled him straight to the room next to the stairs on the second floor. There was already a man in it. He was a very masculine uncle, about forty years old. Seeing the two of them coming in, he immediately stood up while sitting on the bed.

When Su Wu pulled down his hood, Link almost couldn't recognize him. Not only was he almost ten years old, but his facial features had changed significantly, with a high nose and deep eyes, and he looked like a mixed-race child. If he hadn't his expression and behavior were exactly the same as Su Wu, Link would have thought he had found the wrong person.

Su Wu reached out and lit it in the air. A six-ring barrier changed from small to large, covering the entire room, immediately isolated the noise of the tavern.

This hand exposed made Link a little envious. If you want to talk about coolness, the fantasy world is indeed the first mage to be recommended.

After the barrier was completely opened, Su Wu introduced to Link to another person in the room, a tall and burly man wearing armor.

"His name is Gonzalez, he is a Spaniard, and he is one of the few people I can trust in the game. You may have a common language. This is my brother's classmate, just call him Lin."

"Why do you look like a foreigner? And you are... completely different from what I saw on the computer, I almost didn't recognize you."

Link was very curious about how Su Wu's appearance changed so much in the game fantasy, did he use the deformation technique or drink the potion?

Su Wu took out a mirror from the cloth bag on his waist, "Look at your own face first."

"What's going on?" Link's eyes widened when he saw the images in the mirror, and he turned into a mixed-race like Su Wu. He clearly saw his appearance on the computer, but why did he change in the illusion?

"You just treat it as a system correction. This game was originally based on the medieval period. Anyone who came in, regardless of the region and race were all changed to the appearance of a white man." After retracting the mirror, Su Wu made a request that Link would not have expected and transformed. He could not resist him, and Link eventually turned into a white deer form in front of the two of them.

"Oh~ It's indeed the Son of Nature." Gonzalez nodded repeatedly, "Only the Son of Nature can use the incarnation form of the Gods of Nature."

"Hey~ What do you mean?" Link was unhappy. Isn't this clearly suspicious of him?

"He has no malice, just to make sure you know if you are really chosen as the son of nature. After all, no one has ever obtained this profession." Gonzalez has a strange aura that can make people feel at ease and trust. Although Link was upset, it was difficult to get into trouble.

"Stop talking about those disappointing words, don't forget the purpose of our coming here." Gonzalez gave Suwu a color, and the latter curled his lips and actually apologized to Link seriously, which shows how Gonzalez's influence on him.

"I personally went to the adventure union and found no mission to trap veteran players. If you want to know Yuan Ye's whereabouts, you can only conduct a carpet-style search." Su Wu felt embarrassed at all and turned the topic directly to the purpose of converging in Hegu Town. "Have you found it in the guardian land?"

The anger comes quickly and goes quickly. Link can't turn against him because he is not happy: "The Novice Village is very closed. I stayed there for eight days and know nothing about the outside world. If I hadn't investigated the reasons for the disappearance of the druid who was stationed in the River Valley Town, my Novice Mentor would not have let me out so quickly. By the way, I encountered a four-person team on the edge of the forest. Their tone seemed to be players like us. Xiao Wu, how many people are there in this game fantasy?"

The encounter that almost developed into a battle made Link feel scared.

"The specific number is not clear. Some people speculate that it is at least ten thousand, and so are the three guys who are looking for you just now."

Su Wu's answer was beyond Link's expectations. He was really a novice village and could meet anyway.

"I can remind you in advance that players can attack each other here. As long as they do it without knowing it, there is no so-called red name punishment in online games. You don't have enough self-protection ability to contact other players. For those who are determined to seek excitement, this is a paradise of crime, and murder will not be punished by law. Some are not even satisfied with individual killings, and deliberately trigger wars between countries and races. Why are so many people still addicted to this when they know the danger? A healthy body, countless money, three thousand beauties, and titles are kings. As long as you have the ability, you can do anything that cannot be achieved in reality." Su Wu's cold eyes made Link's back feel cold. Unlike reality, he is already an adult in the game, and his appearance is even older than Link, and even has fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

The fear and worry that had been suppressed by Link were reprimanded by these words, and they also remembered the doubts buried in their hearts. He told the story of NPC knowing that the player claimed to be from the other world.

"Actually... the original Edgar did not exist in the form of a game." Gonzalez, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke out and said an answer that surprised Link. "Putting aside the game words "upgrade and level, don't you think it's more like the world in a fantasy novel or movie?"

Link deeply agrees with this. If it weren't for those words and systems with strong game colors, he would have thought he had entered a different world full of fantasy and talent.

"Edgar, a dream fantasy, has existed a long time ago. Many people think that this world is real, just like a parallel world, another earth. It has everything supernatural that ancient people imagined, and the game components have only been added in the past twenty years." Gonzalez claims to be ten years old and is a hard-core player. Because he likes this almost real fantasy world, he has been upgrading at a speed. Players of the same period have reached the peak level, and he is still at the master level.

Link is even more puzzled. Based on the time in the game, isn’t Gonzalez’s character already over 100? Why does he look like he’s only over 40?

"The time difference in the past was not as big as it is now. It was basically 2:1, and it was waiting for the dream for two days in a day. It suddenly accelerated four years ago. Not only did many new professions be added, but the difficulty was also increased a lot, and a large number of deaths were also seen at that time." Gonzalez finished speaking, and Link asked the veteran again, what is the master, what is the peak, what is the master?

"Because the divisions within each profession are different, there is no unified level in the game. In order to facilitate the distinction, the difficulty of the Adventurer Union is used as a general distinction." Su Wu took out a blank parchment from the small cloth bag tied around his waist, drew six stars on it with a quill pen, and wrote corresponding marks under each star.

"The newcomer who just entered the game is called a veteran, who has been trained and grown up, then an expert with a skill, and then a master who can be called a master, and the top legend level is even more numerous."

So that's it... Link's thoughts ran to another thing. He said that Shuanghan might be Su Wu's speculation, but it made Gonzalez laugh.
