Chapter 212 The Elf Chief’s Request

()Jinshan Yinhai thought while thinking about it when I asked: "If they just want to experience the life of primitive tribes, the area of ​​​​the Amazon jungle is enough for them to find tens of thousands of such settlements. But these guys insist on not moving. Place. This is one of the doubts, and there is also a second doubt. Although these guys say they want to experience tribal life, they use the weapons that players often use. Although they cook the corpses of Warcraft for food and wear animal skins and the like It's more like experiencing life, but using magic weapons with attributes feels a bit nondescript. But this can also be explained by the fact that the combat power of Warcraft is too strong. This is a game after all, and all the monsters around are fully equipped. The equipped players use the combat monsters for leveling. If they use the original weapons according to real-life standards, they will probably be eaten instead of the monsters but themselves. But this always feels weird."

"Listening to your analysis, I think there seems to be a problem. So let's assume that this is a player group that is hostile to us. Let's assume that they just want to interfere with our construction of the city, so they set up villages here, then, How can we do this?”

"It's not difficult to do this, as long as you know the location of our building beforehand. As for this information, there is actually no secret at all. Before building a city, you need to conduct exploration and expel the surrounding monsters. This process requires a large number of people. It takes a long time to work, so anyone who is interested can know about our construction problems. What I don’t understand is that if they are just hostile to us, they can attack us directly. Why do they have to create a village to come out here to follow us? make trouble."

I can understand this issue that Jinshan Yinhai does not understand. After all, we are managers at different levels. Depending on the height of the station, the range of vision will naturally be different. "Golden mountains and silver seas, have you ever thought about the pressure of public opinion?"

"Public opinion pressure?" Jinshan Yinhai was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, I had to explain: "You yourself said that guilds from all over the world have their own strongholds in South America, and the jungle environment is very suitable for guerrilla warfare. So we are not willing to make a fortune together. Make enemies. Isn’t that correct?”

Jinshan Yinhai nodded and said: "This is what I told you, it should be correct."

I nodded and continued: "Okay, since you understand the reason, then continue to expand based on this. If you cannot directly conflict with other guilds in South America, you can only use the curve method. Although South America has a large number of Foreign guilds are here, but after all, this is also South America, the territory of the local people. Because these local forces are not very strong, they can only work under these foreign guilds. Just like our Frost Rose The League also has many local employees here and the guilds that rely on us. So, what if there is a way to cause us to conflict with the locals? "

Jinshan Yinhai just didn't think of this aspect, and he was not stupid. I mentioned this, and he reacted immediately. "They want to use this village as an example. They want to tell the surrounding people that our guild is very aggressive and boycott us, right?"

"Correct answer."

"But... but this village is just a village composed of foreign players, not an local village?"

"Propaganda!" I couldn't help but educate Jinshan Yinhai: "In the propaganda war, it is enough to have a few basic points. Facts and experiences are not necessary. Propaganda releases news and guides ideas. The information does not need to be comprehensive, as long as it can trigger associations and can be confirmed, and associations can be guided."

Jinshan Yinhai shook his head and still didn't quite understand what I said.

I helplessly said to him: "So you are just the person in charge of the regional guild, and I am the president. You don't need to understand too much about the specifics, as long as you understand what happened this time. What our Frost Rose Alliance has always advocated is Overwhelm everything with absolute strength, so there is no need to pay too much attention to false publicity. Just pay attention to preventing being framed by the enemy using publicity. I guess this is the purpose of this incident. In this village The players are all members of the lay guild. If they want to be disadvantageous to us, they can just launch a harassment war directly. Such deliberate non-cooperation is forcing us to attack them. This intention is too obvious. "

"But now that we know the reason, how are we going to solve this problem?" Jinshan Yinhai asked.

I looked at the village with cold eyes and said, "I didn't know their intentions before, so it was hard to tell. Now that we know, it's easy. They want our handle for publicity. We just need to clear the relationship and let them contact us." It’s better if we don’t get there.”

"But how do we clear up the relationship?"

I didn’t directly answer the question about gold and silver, but said with a smile: “You don’t have to worry about this, I’m here with you. Now go help me inform everyone that urban construction is suspended. The resistance was too great, so our guild gave up building a city and planned to buy a ready-made city nearby for use."

"Ah? We've already made it this far, and we won't build it if we don't want to build it? How do we calculate the funds invested?" Jinshan Yinhai asked in surprise.

"This is a cover for the outside world. Of course the city still needs to be built. We are just saying this to clear the air. But just know this in your own mind and don't blame anyone else. To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself. People cheat together.”

Jinshan Yinhai shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it! I'll just run errands for you honestly. As expected, you guys who are the boss are better at playing tricks."

"What are you talking about? You're talking about me as if I'm a villain."

I drove away the golden mountains and silver seas, and I didn't enter the village. Instead, I turned around and went directly to the elven city where I bought the Tree of Life.

I have to say that the news about Jinshan Yinhai spread quite quickly. I received a message from Kristina just halfway through. As soon as the signal was connected, Kristina was heard shouting on the channel: "Boss, why did you suddenly stop building a city?"

"Damn it, why did you get the news so quickly? How many minutes have I been talking to Jinshan Yinhai?"

"This is not a question of whether it is fast or not, but because we have invested so much, and you suddenly say you won't build it if you don't want to build it, we can't accept this for a while!"

"This matter is not what you think. I have my own arrangements. Don't worry about it for now. You will understand my intentions later."

"Oh. Since you said that, I can only believe you for the time being!" Kristina said and took the initiative to end the communication.

After closing the communication, I thought about it and connected to the God of War, and then said: "God of War, regarding the construction of the new city, if anyone asks this again, please help me tell him that I have my own arrangements to let them temporarily Don’t worry about it for now. Just carry on as usual.”

"clear."

The God of War is the equivalent of a telephone switchboard in our guild, so anyone who wants to contact me has to go through the God of War first. If I talk to the God of War now, I won’t have to explain the reasons to others one by one.

In fact, my method was not as exaggerated as I imagined. At least some people in the guild guessed my intention. At least when Hongyue and the others heard about this and ran to find Rose and Su Mei to discuss it, Rose and Su Mei were not as surprised as they were. Rose just asked what I was doing. When he learned that I had gone to the nearby Elf City, he immediately said to Hong Yue and others who came to ask about the situation: "You must be anxious, I probably know what Zi Ri is going to do."

Su Mei also nodded and said: "Brother Ziri's idea is indeed good, it can save a lot of trouble."

"How did you know?" Hongyue and the others were very surprised when they heard this answer, because they had not thought of this question. However, both Rose and Sumei insisted not to tell them anything and just let them wait and see the result. Of course, Rose said that the ultimate goal of this plan is to build his own elf city, but it's just a different method.

While the guild members and the lay guild members who were paying attention to this matter were scratching their heads, I had already arrived at the elven city from before. When the patriarch of this elven city heard that I was back, she immediately enthusiastically welcomed me out and welcomed me into her office. Generally speaking, external reception personnel use special external liaison offices for reception. This time the other party can receive me in the office, which is a special treatment.

After entering the patriarch's office, the other party first greeted me politely, and then began to ask me about my purpose of coming.

"Actually, I encountered a little trouble this time, so I want to discuss a simple cooperation with you."

Because we and I had solved the conflict between the two tribes before, we had a relatively good cooperation experience. This is the second time we cooperated, and the other party was naturally very enthusiastic. "We are very interested in the cooperation between the two parties, but we don't know what the specific cooperation that President Ziri is talking about?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal." I briefly introduced the situation our guild is facing now. Then he continued: "So. As I just said, we are not suitable to eradicate this village ourselves. Moreover, I guess that since the other party intends to cause trouble for us, no matter what we do, they will always be able to find an excuse. So I want the elves to help with the construction of this new city."

“What is agency construction?”

"That is to say, the city uses your name to build our city, but it is announced to the outside world that you plan to build a city yourself. After the city is completed, we will take over the city from you."

"Is this okay?" the Elf Clan leader asked in surprise.

I explained: "The other party just wants to blacken our reputation among the local races, so the village has no defense at all. In fact, if it weren't for the pressure of public opinion, I would have destroyed that village in two or three minutes by myself." . But the current situation is that I can't take action myself, so you can do it. Of course, if you send troops, I will pay you, just like mercenaries. However, we cannot directly say that we hired them. You want to build a city, and you happened to take a fancy to the land we cleared, so you took it over after we gave up the construction plan. Then you can do things that we are not suitable for doing with great fanfare, such as evicting that city by force. Village. Anyway, you elves are well-known for your arrogance, and you have long said that the forest is your territory. Even if you drive out a village by force, others can't say anything to you."

"So the environment around the city has been cleaned up?" the elf clan leader continued to ask.

"Of course, after cleaning up, we will continue to build the city, but it is still you who will build it. Didn't I get a seed of the Tree of Life from you before? I will take that seed back for you to plant, and then you have to help We purchase materials or you use your own materials to build the city. Of course, we will give you money for all the materials, and we will also pay you some benefits as a reward for helping us build the city. Of course. Urban planning and other matters need to be in accordance with our guild Make it according to the drawings given. Because this is an elven city, so if you build it, others will not have any doubts. After the city is completed, you will hand over the ownership of the city to our guild, and say to the outside world that it is us The guild paid a large sum of money to buy this city. After going around in this way, we have completed the city construction work, and you have received a lot of rewards. At the same time, we have also avoided the sao of those hostile forces. Disturbance."

"The method is indeed a good one, but the construction process will definitely consume a lot of manpower. Do you have a way to solve this? The war just broke out in our clan, and we are recovering now. If we follow up and help you build the city, we will invest in this for a while. I can’t hold it any longer!”

"I have already thought about this issue." I explained to the elf clan leader: "We are building an elf city, so the permanent population in the city must be dominated by elves. So I plan to Immigrate some people from your city. Of course. If your population is not enough, you can also immigrate people from other nearby elven tribes or cities, and we will pay you the same. In addition, in addition to the basic population, there is also the army. We plan to equip the Elf City with a large number of armed personnel, and we need to buy these from you. These personnel can be bought with our money first, and then directly invested in city construction, so you don’t have to invest too much manpower. They will all be handed over to the city later. Just hand it over to us.”

In fact, what I call immigration is to purchase NPCs. Everyone knows that the NPC troops in the player's city can naturally advance in addition to some of the ziyounpc in the city. The main thing is to buy. Although this purchase is actually from the system, there is no system store selling soldiers in the game. Instead, various NPC forces are used as distribution targets. For example, this was the case when our guild used to purchase heavenly soldiers and generals from heaven. Moreover, the places that actually sell soldiers are not only the divine forces like Heavenly Court, but some system cities also sell soldiers, but they can't buy very high-level soldiers there. The Elf City is a relatively special kind of city. The Elf troops generated within it are not as low-level as the troops generated in ordinary cities, and the Elf troops have a bonus to their combat effectiveness in the Elf City. In fact, it’s not just cities. The elves will have a combat power bonus in the middle of the forest. It's just that the bonus will be more exaggerated in the elven city. It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the Elf tribe are in the Elf City. No one will lag behind in battles beyond level 200. Therefore, unless you can buy soldiers that are much larger than the Elf army, it is most cost-effective for Elf cities to use Elf soldiers.

This aspect of zi younpc is the same as that of combat soldiers. The city established by the player guild will initially only give you one basic configuration of your NPC, which is definitely not enough anyway. If you only have this little freedom, then your city will probably be similar to that ghost town after it is built. You can see the streets several kilometers long, and if there are only three or five people on them, it will be a busy day.

To obtain zi younpc, the player guild has several methods that can be used. First of all, the most economical way is to let zi younpc reproduce naturally. There is no situation where creatures are refreshed in "Zero". Here, both monsters and individual NPCs are produced using natural reproduction methods, but the system will control the reproduction rate and growth speed. If the organisms in an area die quickly, the organisms in this area will reproduce and mature very quickly, thus maintaining the density of organisms in the area. However, even if the system speeds up reproduction and growth, it is still very slow for a player city to obtain enough population using this method, and it may not be possible to increase the population for at least several months.

Compared to natural reproduction, there are three other ways to obtain populations: migration, plunder and purchase.

Migration is the migration of the population, which can also be divided into migration in the nature of mergers and migration in the nature of diaspora. The nature of annexation is just like the elf tribe that Jinshan Yinhai helped us contact before. As long as we negotiate with the clan leader, we can let the other party's entire collective merge into our city, so that we can increase a lot of population at once. However, overall migration is actually not a very common situation. Normally, a relatively large proportion of the population in migration is diasporic in nature. These people join your city voluntarily, usually in family units. Each group consists of three or five people, or there are also single people. This kind of migration will be relatively scattered, but it can be a long-term method of stable population growth. Of course, because it is too stable, it is impossible to quickly accumulate population through this method. Moreover, the population migration speed of this method is directly affected by your urban environment. Just like the settings in games such as SimCity, the population migration in "Zero" is also formulated based on city taxation, public security, war conditions, infrastructure welfare, etc. Moreover, the attributes of the city itself will also affect the attributes of the migrant population. For example, Essinger is particularly prone to attracting ghosts. At least six and a half of the ten young people who came to settle in Essinger are undead. And if this elven city is built, it will be very attractive to elves. This is the impact of the urban environment on the population.

However, the above two methods of increasing population are actually not suitable for quickly replenishing the population. Although those two methods are the main ways for urban population growth, what is needed in the early stage of urban completion is not such a stable method, but a method that can explosively increase the population.

Speaking of explosive growth in your population. That involves the remaining two methods: looting and buying.

Needless to say, plundering is just robbing people. Of course, it is not to kidnap NPCs on the road directly to your own city, but to attack a certain completed city. After breaking the city, you can use the plunder command to plunder a large number of NPCs in that city and then forcibly bring them back to your own city for resettlement. Come down.

The advantage of this method is that it works very quickly and doesn't cost much. As long as you don't look for those super tough fortress cities to start with, ordinary commercial cities are actually easy to plunder.

Of course, there are also many disadvantages to plundering. If you want to plunder, you have to attack the city, and because you need to move the population, you can't be too far away from your city. After all, the captives will not cooperate with you. It is very troublesome to transfer a large group of prisoners, so the target city must be ensured not too far from your city. Secondly, part of the plundered population will flee when they arrive in their own city. Even if your city's basic welfare is not high enough, you may even deliberately destroy city facilities. If the city is attacked when the loyalty of these people rises, these captured ziyounpc will even form a resistance army to help the enemies outside capture the city. So the person who snatched it is not very reliable. And the problem of plundered populations doesn’t stop there. Since it is impossible to determine who will die and who will not die in a war, plundering NPCs cannot control the population ratio, and the appearance rate of high-level NPCs will be very low. First, high-level NPCs have higher intelligence and are less likely to be captured. Secondly, this kind of people are usually more upright. Although there are some who are afraid of death, more people die in battle. In comparison, the lowest level NPCs have a better chance of being captured. To put it simply, the quality of the NPCs looted is low.

Finally, in addition to the above three disadvantages, the biggest trouble with plundering people is diplomatic pressure. When you attack other people's cities, you are naturally making enemies for yourself. This is equivalent to finding an opponent for yourself outside, so although it doesn't cost money, the soft damage is actually not low.

The last way to explosively increase population is to buy. This is the most commonly used method to increase the population of a city in the early stages. Although it costs money, it has many advantages. The first is that the distance limit is small. The explanation given by the system for this method of buying people is that part of the money you pay is for those people who are willing to come to your city, which is equivalent to you giving money to ask these people to move to your city. According to this explanation, these NPCs come to your city voluntarily, so you can organize them to immigrate. If the other party is willing to actively cooperate, migration will be relatively easy even if the distance is very long. Therefore, as long as you are not planning to move the population across the entire continent, ordinary distances are no problem.

In addition to the removal of distance restrictions, there are several advantages to buying a population. The first is the principle that customers are God. When buying people, you can choose the right people at will. Although the price of high-end NPCs will be a little more expensive, you can completely decide the proportion of NPCs based on your own financial resources. Otherwise, you can specify the opponent's basic abilities and attributes, and even set the race, talent, appearance, and gender ratio. This determines that the NPCs you buy back are usually the ones you need most, and there is no chance that you will get back a bunch of waste.

The ability to choose NPCs is only one of the advantages. Another advantage of purchased NPCs is that their loyalty will be significantly higher than that of the stolen population, and these purchased populations can adapt to the environment more easily and quickly than those who migrated naturally. After all, they have plans for their future and are more confident than those NPCs who come to a new city to try a new life, so they can quickly get through the adaptation period and enter work mode.

Without considering the problems of the NPC itself, another advantage of buying an NPC is the diplomatic advantage. Just the opposite of plundering the population, if you plunder the population from a city, the two cities will immediately become mortal enemies. However, if you purchase the population from one city, the positive relationship between the two cities will increase based on the amount of money you spend. In other words, if you buy a large number of people from a certain city, they might actively form an alliance with you the next day. Of course, this is talking about NPC cities. Although player cities can sell their people in the later stages, generally no stupid guild leader would actually do this.

The method that the elves and I have learned to deal with the shortage of population is to use this method of purchasing population to solve it. Although the purchased population was still purchased from the city where the Elf clan chiefs lived, it seemed that they only changed the ownership of these people. It doesn't increase the total population, but that's not really the case.

If you use this method of purchasing population to move the population in reality, the population of the exporting city will naturally decrease. However, purchasing population in the game is actually just the system using the system city as a sales point. As long as you have money and the friendship with the city you plan to purchase reaches the purchase standard, then you can buy millions of people from a small city with only tens of thousands of people. This is absolutely impossible in reality, but it is possible in games. The population you buy in a city will not affect the population of that city at all. No matter how many people you buy, the population of the other city will not change. The population you bought just appeared out of thin air. They would come out of a place called a refugee camp in the other side's city. This refugee camp is actually a shantytown surrounded by wooden fences. There are no formal houses here, they are all tents and shabby cabins, and there are generally not many of them. But if you buy population here, people will continue to leave here until the number of people you need is reached. Of course, according to the system settings, the refugee camp is a restricted area for players. Any player, no matter how strong your attributes are, you will never be able to enter the refugee camp. Even in a state of war, the refugee camp is invincible. The tattered fence was even more defensive than the city wall. Even if you use the forbidden spell, don't even think about causing even a little harm to the refugee camps made up of tents and broken wooden piles.

The urban population of the Elf leader is indeed insufficient, but as long as we purchase the population from their guild. Then just let these people stay temporarily to help build the city. Anyway, these slaves are like hiding a tree in the forest. Even if you are exhausted, you can't even think of finding anything unusual. At most, you will feel that the city is a bit densely populated during this period.

After listening to my introduction about population and construction methods, the leader of the Jingling clan thought for a moment and nodded: "This sounds pretty good than business, and...if you are willing to help a little, I can even make the decision to help you. Got some contraband.”

"What is contraband?" The words of the leader of the Elf clan stunned me.

The leader of the Jingling clan looked at me with a smile and said: "Contraband is something that is prohibited for sale. In fact, we don't have that thing ourselves, but I know where it is, and I know how to get it, but the problem is that we can't do it ourselves. .”

When I heard this, I understood. "You also need an agent, right?"

The leader of the Jingling clan nodded and said, "That's right. I wonder if you are interested?"

"I'm a little interested, but what exactly is this contraband you mentioned? And why can't you come forward? And what are the specific problems that need to be overcome during the mission?"

The leader of the Jingling clan thought for a moment and said: "The specific items are actually seeds, and they are special seeds that you need very much. In fact, the seeds that the Tree of Life can produce are not the seeds of the Tree of Life itself. She can also produce other seeds." Various plant seeds. But unfortunately, the seeds of the Tree of Life in our city are only urban-level seeds. Although it can grow many seeds, it cannot produce certain special seeds. These special seeds Only the ancient tree of life in the Royal Court can produce it.”

"The Ancient Tree of Life?"

"The Ancient Tree of Life is the mother body of all Trees of Life. Our Tree of Life is conceived from the seeds that grow from the Ancient Tree of Life. Other Trees of Life after that can only produce tree of life races of the same level or lower than ourselves. , and the Ancient Tree of Life is the only tree of life that can breed any seeds.”

"That means that if I help you get the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life, you can copy the Ancient Tree of Life and get those special seeds, right?"

The leader of the Jingling Clan quickly explained: "It's not like that. The seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life cannot be spawned, and this one has a unique character. Once the Ancient Tree of Life breeds the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life, it will quickly wither and die, so except for Wang Ting , other Elf cities plant the Tree of Life instead of the Ancient Tree of Life. What I need you to get are some special seeds. Bring those seeds back and let our Tree of Life absorb them. Although the Tree of Life The tree will not be promoted to an ancient tree of life, but it will gain the ability to produce these seeds. As long as you can bring back those special seeds, after our tree of life has absorbed them, I will let the tree of life produce a batch immediately and then let them go. You take it back and use it for your Tree of Life, so that you can get these special elf units in the future."

"Sounds good. And I also know why you don't want to get it yourself. This thing is the treasure of the Royal Court. You are the elves yourself, and you must be guilty of offending the Royal Court, so you don't dare to do it, right?"

The leader of the Elf clan nodded and said: "After all, we are subordinates of the Royal Court. Although the Elf Royal Court has no direct leadership over us, it is the Royal Court after all, so we dare not offend. But it doesn't matter to you. And you are not the King. Spirit. It is easy to hide your identity, but our identity is not easy to hide."

"I'm very interested in this proposal, but I want to know what the difficulties are in the specific tasks."

"The specific difficulty is actually the various guards, but I can't explain this to you clearly."

"Then how do I get in? Do I force my way in?"

The leader of the Jingling clan immediately said: "Of course not. Although I can't tell you directly, I can arrange a guide for you."

"Guide? Aren't you afraid of being discovered and linked to you?"

The leader of the Jingling clan suddenly smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Isn't this simple? Do you have mind control personnel among your men? If you are discovered, leave a spirit in the head of my guide. Control the brand, and then knock it out. There are many masters in the royal court, and they will definitely find this brand. By then, it will definitely not be blamed on me."

"For the first time, I discovered that elves are not much worse than humans when they are evil!"

"I'm not hurting anyone, I just want to add insurance to our own city."

"Okay, okay, I'm not a good person anyway, so let's not discuss this issue. Now go call your guide and take this time to introduce to me what specific seeds you need and how to get them. . Don’t those seeds also need to be spawned? The movement will be huge, and they will definitely be discovered by then. "

The leader of the Jingling clan first went out to call the guide, and then came back to explain to me: "Don't bother me. The ancient tree of life in Wangting is different from our tree of life. Although she can also give birth to seeds. But even if it doesn't She will also slowly grow a seed every once in a while. And sometimes there will be more than one. Once these seeds grow, they will mature quickly, which takes about a few days. These mature seeds will naturally Fall off. Then the elves of the Royal Court will temporarily collect the seeds and take them out for planting when needed. Although this ancient tree of life does not produce seeds very fast, after all, the Royal Court has existed for so many years, and there are only Several small-scale dangers have occurred, so the consumption of these reserved seeds is very small. The remaining seeds are sealed in a special warehouse, and the guide I introduce to you this time used to serve as this warehouse From the patrol outside.”

"Damn it, it turns out to be a mole. No wonder you can think of stealing seeds."

The leader of the Jingling clan just smiled at this, and then introduced: "If nothing else, you should see a lot of seeds after entering the warehouse, most of which are ordinary seeds, and those are useless to us. The Tree of Life can also produce that kind of seeds, it just needs to be stimulated. What you need to pay attention to are the long seeds with a special shape."

"What does a special shape mean?"

The Elf Clan leader took out a green seed and said: "This is the seed of ordinary subsidiary plants produced by the normal Tree of Life. Most of the seeds produced by the Tree of Life have this shape. No matter what these seeds will eventually grow into What they look like, but at least they are the same in the seed state. However, the Ancient Tree of Life can produce many different seeds. The shapes of these seeds are different, but they must be the same, so the styles should A lot. It’s this special seed you’re going to take.”

I nodded and asked, "You mean, as long as I see seeds that are different from this green-skinned one, I can just take them all away, right?"

"No, no, no, you can't take them all. You just need to take one of each. In this way, when the royal court finds out that the seeds are lost, they will guess that our elves have stolen the seeds, and then they will not carry out large-scale track."

Hearing this, I suddenly understood what the leader of the Elf clan meant, and then asked: "Does it mean that your kind of theft is tacitly approved?"

The leader of the Jingling Clan smiled and said, "What else will you do?"

Now I finally understand. In fact, it is not that the seeds of the Elf Royal Court are not given to these Elf tribes, it is just that the production is too low, so they are destined to be inseparable. Therefore, a bowl of water is flat. In order to ensure the absolute advantage of the Royal Court, the Elf Royal Court came up with this rule of tacitly allowing theft. To put it simply, the Royal Court lets each tribe know that the seeds are there, and you can steal them yourself. However, even if you fail if you are discovered, the Royal Court will give you a symbolic punishment and will not go into details. If you succeed in stealing, then you are in trouble and the stolen seeds belong to you. In this way, other tribes without seeds cannot blame Wang Ting for being unfair. After all, they stole it themselves. If you are unbalanced, just steal it yourself.

This kind of strange internal theft may seem a bit strange, but it seems quite interesting. Of course, after understanding that this was an internal theft, I also understood why the Elf clan valued confidentiality so much. Because these are the rules of the game. Everyone wants to make it impossible for Wang Ting to catch you. As long as Wang Ting catches you, your theft will be a failure. On the contrary, as long as Wang Ting has no excuse to prove your theft. You can just keep stealing.

I was surprised at first. After stealing these seeds, even if the royal court did not find out that they had stolen them, as soon as they planted those special plants. Doesn’t that mean you admit it? Now I understand. They are not afraid of being exposed at all, because after being exposed, it is equivalent to a successful theft, and the royal court will not pursue it.

However, because this is a game-like distribution method within the Elf tribe, the battle process becomes a bit troublesome. If it was really a blatant invasion, then I could just kill the secret sentries along the way and then evade the open sentries. However, since this is a game-like mission, you must not kill anyone first. It should be considered a rule of the game that you cannot take more seeds when you arrive at the warehouse. If it is a true foreign invasion, then the seeds will definitely be swept away. If you just take one of each type, then your own people must be playing a theft game. This can be regarded as an alternative communication code!

After thinking about it for a while, I nodded and said, "In that case, my team may have to make some changes. But I think I can still complete this mission."

"I knew you could do it." The leader of the Elf clan said excitedly: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. If you are caught. Of course, I estimate that the possibility of catching you is slim. Just in case. If you are surrounded and you can't escape without killing people, please don't hurt the guards. Just raise your left hand to say you admit defeat, and then show this to them. The other party will know that you are here. It won’t be difficult for you to participate in this theft game.”

I took a magic emblem handed over by the leader of the Elf tribe, and then said: "You Elf tribe really have a sense of humor. You engage in theft and defense games internally, and you actually allow outsiders to help, and you also have a contact code. I really doubt that before. Is there something wrong with the image of elves I heard?"

The leader of the Jingling clan smiled and said: "Actually, this kind of game is not too outrageous, right? We use this method to first solve the internal distribution problem. Not only is such a small output not suitable for anyone. Secondly, our offense and defense The games are also training each other. At least with the continuous invasion and theft of us urban tribes separated from the Royal Court, the guard force of the Royal Court is at least several times stronger than before. The Royal Court may not be taking advantage of us with this arrangement. Invasion training. This way, if there is a foreign invasion and theft, our guards will definitely make the other party suffer."

"But now I'm the one who has to suffer!"

"President Ziri, don't worry. With your strength, there should be no problem. Although this kind of theft game will only be punished symbolically if it is discovered, we don't want to be punished, so if we are not sure If so, we won’t try it rashly.”

I nodded and said, "I understand this. Okay, I'm probably clear about this. Anyway, just try not to be too heavy-handed during the invasion. Do you have any other ideas or matters you want to tell me?"

"There is nothing else. But there is a little trick I can tell you, that is, if you catch a secret whistle or something, you can control it and then put it against the other person's ear to tell him that he is dead, and the other person will understand you. Those who come to participate in the game are not really invading, and then the other party will give up resistance and hide the corpse there. He will not report it and will not move unless you are discovered or someone else discovers him."

“It’s such an interesting setting, there’s actually someone who fakes his own death!”

"Chief, are you looking for me?" As I was saying this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then I saw an elf walking in.
