Chapter 400 Black Emperor (Literally)
The old count turned his eyes, which seemed to be brighter than before, and swept his eyes over the people beside the bed, and finally fell on the priest.
Many things don't need to be thought about too much, as long as the tacit understanding is reached, the mind will be connected.
So he opened his lips slightly.
"Is it this young man who saved me?"
The priest nodded.
"Yes, his name is Wai Shu, he is really a skilled doctor, even such a complicated curse can be lifted."
It can only be said that people are smart, and people are smart with age. This count is also a man who knows how to deal with things. He forced his body to support himself and forced his wife to help him up, holding Ji Ming's hand.
"Thank you very much, kind young man, you saved the peace of this land!"
"It's just a little effort from professionals..."
Ji Ming was about to say something polite, but he realized that there seemed to be another mystery in his strange speech.
You have to understand that the old man looks very calm, not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense and rise or fall wildly at any time.
After a little thought, he simply pointed out his doubts and questioned his last sentence.
Unexpectedly, the count's face darkened and he really sighed.
"Doctor, I didn't know it at first, but when the curse broke out before, I had a flash of inspiration in my daze, and I really remembered some things..."
The current situation is like a seesaw. Since some people will be pressed down and unable to move because of missing the opportunity, there will definitely be smart people who take the opportunity to rise and successfully reach a higher stage.
Therefore, for many nobles, the arrival of pioneers is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. As long as they have strong abilities and good credit, they may even make a fortune from it.
What's more, after entering the central region, the players also changed their previous tough stance. Not only did they stop interfering in the local situation, but they also used more gentle means to communicate with the local power holders. They started with various win-win business cooperation requests, which can be called a money-giving boy.
Although the Earl of Hantan was conservative, he was not completely inflexible. He was old and had to leave something for his descendants, so he naturally wanted to profit from it.
So when he heard that a group of pioneers had sent envoys to his territory, the first thing he did was to invite them into his castle to show his goodwill.
Who knew that...
Until half an hour later, when Ji Ming, who took a bag of money from the old earl, left his castle, he still felt the numbness in his heart.
There was a gentleman who looked like a transport captain and was good at driving a mud truck. He asked a deafening question to the camera of his mobile phone-where are there no good people and bad people! ?
So since there are nobles like Jueqiao, Fengying and Hantan who have no major problems and can even be regarded as positive images, then the pioneers are naturally not all good people.
This is how the unlucky old guy met a group of bastard players, and gradually fell into their sweet-talking cooperation trap through remote communication, and was deceived to their home court to sign an unequal cooperation agreement.
Although he saw through the other party's trick at the last moment, so as to prevent his title and land from falling into their hands after his death, he was still killed by them when he was escaped under the protection of the guards.
Well, this wording may be a bit too nice, it should be said that it was a shameless sneak attack!
But since he was a noble, he naturally had a family inheritance, so the old guy relied on the family's life-saving trump card to avoid being killed on the spot, and even the curse was temporarily suppressed.
Only then did he successfully survive, and held on for more than three days, until Ji Ming arrived, and turned the danger into safety, instead of letting his death become an unsolved case.
As for the pioneer who was cruel and arrogant, and used such a vicious curse when he disagreed with a word...
The old guy frowned and grinned as if he had a toothache.
"I actually only met him once. He was very black, very black, very black..."
Omitting at least ten very black people...
"A very black guy! I've lived for more than sixty years and have never seen such a person. I only heard that there are some very black people on the other side of the desert in Lingxi Kingdom."
"Oh, this."
The door to the game is open, and hundreds of thousands of people have been recruited, so it is normal to have black people who are lucky or specially recruited as talents. Maybe they have speed or resistance to falling that exceeds the limit of human beings.
But a black wizard who can cast a curse... sounds a bit too funny.
"Since he is qualified to discuss cooperation with you, and finally revealed his true identity, his team should have a lot of people, right? Is it a group of very black people?
"No... uh, I mean, first of all, there are indeed many very black people, but more people look like us... people from the main continent, and there are also a few who look like you, that is, Orientals. "
"Ah? "
Ji Ming was completely confused now. The black wizard was actually commanding a group of people.
No, this is a bit too outrageous, even like a weird reverse hell joke!
Seeing the doctor's face full of surprise, the embarrassed old man sat up straight and scratched his head.
"Also, I am a noble, so I can see that he is indeed very rich and generous, even more than ordinary generosity. The way he rewards his subordinates is as if... as if the money is not earned by him?"
So, this is a rich, witchcraft, evil-hearted, black leader...
"By the way, I remembered it again, there is another very important point! All of them call that very dark guy..."
Yangyue World does not have this vocabulary, so the game system directly outputs it in Chinese pronunciation.
Therefore, the old man adjusted his lips and tongue, as if he was learning to speak for the first time, and carefully and difficultly pronounced the syllables as standard as possible.
"emperor!"
? ? ?
There is one thing to say, that hot land full of vitality, where everything is competing, and has a special matching mechanism has produced brilliant civilizations and hard-core ruthless people worthy of the title "Emperor".
Even if ancient Egypt is cut off, there is still the Ethiopian Empire, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has abundant military virtues, and went against the version to improve its points. It just defeated a certain embarrassing power twice and returned in defeat, and had no choice but to pay compensation.
But most of them are those humanoid stars who continue to challenge the lower limits of human beings. Those who have money will go to death, and some will go to death. After reading their deeds and opening a history textbook, you will even feel that each person is amiable.
——Is it possible that a benevolent Lord of Tongliao also appeared in my little "Two Moons Controversy"?
so……
How come this kind of beast got into my game?
What is the game system for?
ah?
A beast that transcends human limits can be considered a type of talent, right?
Although it has been agreed that management will be relaxed during the public beta, when hearing players doing such things, Ji Ming still felt...
Okay, the official can't control it, so I can do it in my own name, right?
However, Cunning Rabbit Sanku, maybe the wizard also knew that he was born very young, so he did not tell the old count where his stronghold was, and only gave him a meeting point in Hantan Territory.
So since he can be so cautious, and now that the old earl has been seriously ill for three days, it is estimated that even this place has been cancelled. Maybe his power has already withdrawn from this noble territory.
"..."
Forget it, idiots are idiots!
But just when Ji Ming was about to take advantage of his personal position to issue a search mission in a roundabout way, digging three feet into the ground and asking players to help find their whereabouts, he suddenly heard someone calling his ID.
"Crooked tree! Are you a crooked tree?"
He turned around and found two young men standing there who were out of tune with the surroundings.
The cheerful young man on the left who was wearing expensive clothes and waving at him had the ID of [Cicada Shigure].
The awkward young man on the right who is wearing iron armor and carrying two long cloth-wrapped knives on his back is carrying [Ghost Killing...
"It's about killing ghosts, not fighting demons!"
Hearing his somewhat nervous shouting, Ji Ming said:
"Well, I know, there is a big difference between these words, so no one should misunderstand them."
Shan Li, who now gave himself the ID of [Ghost Slayer Swordsman], was completely embarrassed.
So, in the last chapter of the previous volume, I made it clear that I was busy with things in the real world and did not want to enter the mountain gravel of the game. Why did it feel so good in the end?
In addition to being really moved by the phrase "more opportunities for actual combat", the bigger reason was the friend beside him... His surname was Matsui.
Considering that almost all the big companies in that small coastal town happened to have the same surname, he didn't know why, but he had been overwhelmed by the wealthy life since he was a child.
Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the open beta, after they both obtained the extremely valuable game qualification, they started their own adventure in another world together.
Facts have proved that Matsui's financial resources are indeed strong, and the martial arts inherited from the Yama family are not fake at all.
After spending a month, he successfully led his financial backer to become a level 30 master who can bark at the player group at will, and paid off the "I'll buy you a helmet, you show off and fly with me" "debt.
As a celebration, I was inspired by Matsui's words, "If you want to take risks, go where others have never been!" I came to Hantan Territory, which was just opened today.
As a result, as soon as he entered the city, the sharp-eyed Matsui saw an "old acquaintance" who definitely didn't know him, but as long as he knew him, it would be fine.
Being able to enter the [Difficult Map: Glowing Hinterland], which only level 30 players can enter, shows that the two people in front of them are hard-core players, so Ji Ming, who values talents, walked over.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
Then I discovered that this [Chan Shigure] was actually more of a social terrorist than me, and while frantically reciting his bizarre deeds of beating up goblins with a shovel during the beta test, I took a photo with him.
"Brother Waishu, you are my idol, can you teach me how to take pictures of people!"
In just three minutes, Ji Ming's memory of them changed from [Cicada Shigure] and [Ghost Slayer Swordsman] to Matsui-kun and Yama-kun, whose status must be different. At least they remembered their last names.
So much so that Ji Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was rich, good at acting, and good-looking. In reality, this guy was definitely a Tokyo-style protagonist.
It's just pity for Shanshan. He doesn't have enough emotional intelligence to intervene in this conversation. He can only be looked at as a monkey by passers-by because of his weird dress.
And worthy of being the son of a chaebol, Matsui was clearly chatting about interesting things in the game, but inadvertently, with a small turn, he became.
"Mr. Waishu is an old player who has been playing "Double Moon Earning" since the closed beta. He must have found the clues to the hidden mission by now, right?"
Although his hints were definitely not so explicit, Ji Ming, who was a thousand-year-old fox and could write a separate article in Liao Zhai, still understood what he meant.
However, he did not reveal the truth directly, but used a Tai Chi to swing away.
"Actually, I am also a newcomer, so I can only say that I have a little inspiration. But you, are you here to explore the way for other people in the guild?"
"But we haven't joined any guild at all."
Matsui patted Shan Shang's shoulder and laughed.
"It's mainly because of him. Who told him to call himself a ninja and dress like a samurai? If he recognizes the master, he will definitely be destined to be a concubine with this appearance, right?"
This Japanese version of the joke of the ditch made Ji Ming spend a lot of effort to control his facial expression without hypnotizing them.
...Forget it, I might have to fight with many players at that time, and two helpers are always not too many.
So Ji Ming showed the task of [Shadow of the Cold Pond], saying that he had successfully eliminated the vicious curse on the Earl and completed the first half of this hidden task.
"Oh, we need to investigate the clues and find the criminal gang that harmed the Earl? Isn't that a detective game?"
"If we find the criminal gang, we must defeat them, and they must be strong to dare to attack the Earl!"
Matsui likes to play games, and Shan Shang likes to kill evil thieves, so they naturally joined Ji Ming's temporary team.
According to the clues given by the Earl, the first place they went to was naturally the meeting place, which was not very meaningful, but it would not hurt to take a look.
However, because the players could not come to the Cold Pond Territory a week ago, even if the black wizard met the Earl in person later, he made an appointment with other noble territories a certain distance to the south.
So this meeting place controlled by them remotely was actually a hotel in an ordinary town in the south of the Cold Pond.
And in the previous meetings, the black wizards had not torn their faces, and the Earl, who was smart, naturally sent people to investigate privately.
But the final result was helpless. This greedy local boss had a pure money transaction with the pioneers. He only took the money and didn’t know anything...
Really! ?
Ji Ming didn’t believe it, so he joined forces with the other two to launch a special military operation, rushed into the hotel, arrested the fat boss, dragged him to the wine cellar and beat him up.
