Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The fact that the southern wilderness was invaded by the Innadri people had spread to Dutata City, the largest city in Adler, through the mouths of merchants three days after the incident.

Regarding this major event that their territory was invaded by outsiders... the vast majority of Adlers did not react much.

The people of Nadli invaded the land of lords and nobles, so what do ordinary people do?

Not to mention that the wasteland in the south has been abandoned for many years and turned into a no-man's land. Even if there are still people living there, the change of the master on the head will not have much impact on the common people—anyway, no matter who will be the lord, People have to pay taxes.

The reason for this phenomenon... is not that the local people "have no king and no father", but the root cause is that the local rulers did not pay attention to the people's hearts, and did not spend effort to manage the Republic of China and lead the people to feel a sense of belonging.

This is not to say that the politicians in this world are not as shrewd as those on Earth. Despite the threat of the red flag, there are still rulers in countless countries and regions who do not treat civilians as human beings.

Even a certain superpower, the so-called pioneer of civilization, the torch of civilization, and the lighthouse of civilization, shouts loudly about democracy in its mouth, but still follows one set of hegemonism in its actions; The epidemic killed hundreds of thousands of common people. Politicians still don’t take it seriously. They should attack political enemies and attack political enemies. They should be the world’s police. Hey, it’s just for fun~

All in all, for the vast majority of civilians in the Adler Territory, not many people need to care whether the Inadlers are watching or not.

But... what is subtle is that the attitude of Adler's top elites is similar to that of ordinary people - from the lords to the lowly middle and small nobles, they all maintain a strange silence.

Until a week after the southern part was openly occupied by the Innatrix, a 20-man cavalry team entered the city of Dutata under the banner of the family coat of arms of the Innatrix lord Charlie Rex, and the lords and nobles in the city It seems that the freeze time is over, and a normal reaction will be made.

A day in May of 1032 in another world.

Wagner Pete was wearing full armor, carrying a long spear, and accompanied by Walton, who was also in full armor and holding a long sword at his waist, he entered the City Lord's Mansion in Du Tata City with his head held high.

It is reasonable to say that local nobles who are of sufficient status will be invited to attend this kind of formal occasion to meet envoys from other territories, but the lord of Adler did not do this this time, but chose to meet alone in the city lord's mansion—— Clearly, this guy knew from the start that this meeting would make him look bad.

After seeing these two knights who were hard to tell from the appearance of their outfits, Lord Adler was slightly confused...

Walton is from Kenya, and Kenyans value dark hair. Walton, who is of good background, has short, neatly combed bluish-gray hair; but in the eastern region, this kind of dark hair The color belongs to the lower class, not to mention that he has a face that looks like a northerner. He is the kind of foreigner who will never get promoted if he takes office in the Rhine Kingdom.

Wagner Peet's hair color is slightly lighter, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Rhinelanders, but he does not look like a person from an eastern country - his hair volume is too thick, the blue stubble on the chin is very obvious, and there are obvious curls on the back of the hand Hair; while the temperature in eastern countries is higher, the hair of local people will not grow so lush.

The perplexed Lord Adler glanced repeatedly at the two knights who entered the hall, and a somewhat annoyed and unbelievable thought appeared in his heart... Charlie Rex, the illegitimate son whose identity is well-known throughout the country, really Can you be so careless and send two foreigners to negotiate with him? !

Wagner and Walton don't care if Lord Adler is angry and funny. After saluting according to the etiquette, he raised his head, and Wagner stepped forward half a step, and talked to the Lord who met them alone: ​​"Dear Earl, my name is Wagner Pete, Mr. Charlie Rex, the lord of Innadrix, invited me to discuss with you the security issues in the southern region. As you may already know, our important undead ally of Innadel was killed by a group of undead a few days ago. cheated, lured to the South, and was illegally imprisoned by a gang of criminals lurking there—"

Taking law and order as a topic is to save face for the other party.

After all, if you come up and say directly that your honored knight is engaged in the black market of population, then the so-called negotiation is unlikely to continue-the other party will either turn out of shame on the spot, or shamelessly deny it to the end. want.

Lord Adler was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately made a look of surprise as if he had heard this for the first time: "There is such a thing?"

...Who doesn't know that Tarantan's undead just helped Odis's family fight a beautiful battle, wouldn't it be too much to provoke Innadris at this moment?No matter how annoyed Lord Adler was when Rex sent a foreigner to dismiss him, he would not accept this shit.

It's not that the lord, who had profited from Old Stuart's business, was opposed to the capture of undead. He himself wanted to get a few undead of Tarantan to serve as servants for showing off; what he disliked was that Old Stuart didn't do things well. , Before the meat was in his mouth, he made a fuss.

Wagner nodded slightly, humbly echoing: "This matter is indeed very shocking, respected Earl, who would have thought that there would be such an arrogant criminal group at the junction of Inadrian and Adler?"

To be able to work under Bartles's family as a foreigner until he was about to retire, Wagner naturally knew the world, and his acting skills were not bad...

Next, Wagner very naturally and respectfully mentioned the request of Inadoli to set up entry and exit checkpoints in the southern wilderness—without mentioning the existence of the "hostage" old Stewart, nor at all. problem of residence.

He didn't mention it here, it doesn't mean Lord Adler can't interpret it.

No matter how respectful Wagner's attitude is, in the final analysis, this matter is that Inadoli is going to intervene in his southern wilderness and plans to set up entry and exit checkpoints in the south. This will definitely offend Lord Adler.

But considering the "hostage" of the "unknown" old Stuart, although Lord Adler was not happy, he had to weigh the pros and cons of using a piece of abandoned land to fool this matter——

Charlie Rex, the illegitimate son, held the undead Tarantan in his hand, first defeated the Bartles family, and then helped the Odis family defeat the regular army of the Principality of Lionel. He was really unwilling to provoke Against such a formidable enemy.

What makes Lord Adler even more worried is that he still doesn't quite know how far the relationship between Innadris and the Odis family has progressed-if he fights with the undead of Charlie Rex over the issue of southern ownership, Otis will The Diss family suddenly appeared to intervene, and that would be a big trouble.

Among the five Earls of the Rhine Kingdom (excluding Rex), the Otis family is not the strongest, but it is not the weakest either, at least not weaker than Lord Adler.

When Lord Adler frowned and weighed in, Wagner respectfully made up two small requests: Innadali did not have manpower to support the construction of the entry and exit checkpoints, and hoped to hire civilians from Dutata City; in order to solve the checkpoint personnel In order to solve the problem of food supply in China, he hopes to open up wasteland in the south, and will pay agricultural taxes according to Adler's tax policy.

Upon hearing this request, Lord Adler made a decision.

Originally, it was a wasteland that was abandoned. If the tax could be received, then who should be allowed to open up the wasteland?Innad Liren is willing to be this bully to bear the cost of land reclamation, so why is he so polite?

If it weren't for the fact that the local aristocrats in Adler's collar disliked the investment in land reclamation, how could the land in the south have been abandoned for many years!

Two days later, Wagner and Walton successfully took more than 4000 refugees from Du Tata City... a little more than they planned to recruit, but after witnessing the tragedy of the landless refugees, even Wagner, who was heavily in debt, really couldn't bear to drive away these refugees who were struggling to survive.

After Wagner brought the [-] refugees back to the southern wilderness, the undead engineers who came to support from Yongwang Town also came to the new town, and brought an undead agronomist who is said to be good at agriculture... Wagner welcomed this with both hands.

The refugees from Dutata City knew that there would be undead guiding them to do things on the road, and their tolerance was relatively acceptable, at least calmer than the Westem people who saw the undead for the first time.

The undead engineers who have supported Westham Town and Everlook Town have a good understanding of the underlying situation of this "game world". Not long ago, the undead agronomist was assigned to the helmet, but it was the first time to see a living refugee with his own eyes; , the "cute newcomer" among the tool man players, the reaction was greater than that of the refugees.

"Mom, this, this is too--too outrageous!"

In the valley of Xinzhen, the "cute new players" whose game online time is only more than [-] hours in total, looked at the refugees resting on the spot in a square, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

This "new player", named Wu Qing, is not too old, less than 40 years old, and he is still born in the [-]s.

The reason why the internal competition of the national team is quite fierce is that this "young" person can fall on this "young" person because this person also has a background similar to Ji Tang - she is a poverty alleviation cadre who graduated from an agricultural school more than ten years ago. Helping the poor in the countryside, especially able to endure hardships, he has made great achievements at a young age, and was named one of the top ten outstanding youths in a certain province.

When she was transferred to the poorest mountainous area to help the poor, the car of the poverty alleviation cadre was swept into a ravine by a flash flood. She was the only one among the four colleagues who survived, but she was also injured in the lumbar spine and lost consciousness from the chest down; When the acquired helmet was distributed internally, a veteran cadre offered to give her his turn first.

When Wu Qing was young, home computers were still a rarity. She was from a relatively poor family and had no spare money to spend in Internet cafes. Even without the computer, there is no time to play games, so he can be regarded as a real Xiaobai Mengxin.

After getting the tool man quota, Wu Qing, who was paralyzed on the hospital bed, made up a lot of "game common sense" summed up by the seniors of the national team. After entering the "game", Wu Qing was not shocked by the overly realistic skeleton body like ordinary players, but He happily followed the alumni of the agricultural school to the countryside, and learned a lot about the poverty situation in this "game world".

But even if he took the time to run through the villages of Westham and Yongwang Town, and saw the refugees brought back by the "NPC colleagues" in front of him, Wu Qing's world view was refreshed...

What a miserable group of people!

Shaggy clothes, messy hair like straw, and dirty appearance like Africans are nothing. When some of the film and television dramas on the earth pay attention to research and restore the original ecology of the Republic of China, the appearance of the actors is not much worse than these real refugees. .

But what an actor can restore is the most superficial appearance. No matter how good an actor is, a real refugee can’t act out—everyone’s skin is covered with bones, no flesh can be seen, and their hands and feet are as thin as sticks. , the calf is thinner than a supermodel, the shoulders and back are so thin that the skeleton can be seen directly, the abdomen is sunken, and the face is almost the same as the player's skull.

Wu Qing observed the group of people in horror, and shouted at the senior who brought her here: "This, this can't work, uncle, I think these people should go to the hospital first, it is impossible to let them open up wasteland. !"

The more experienced old engineer of "Game" was also speechless: "It's quite miserable. The gang of slaves that Yongwang Town received before seem to be rounder than them."

Wagner, who is in the matrix and can communicate with the undead without wearing a badge, smiled sarcastically when he heard this: "After all, slaves are the property of the owner. Those who bought them with money can't watch them starve to death. Lost land The refugees seem to be free, but no one cares about their lives."

Hearing these words, the old engineer and Wu Qing couldn't help grinning...

"What's the point? A free person is worse than a slave." Wu Qing said angrily, clutching his chest.

"Turning living people into ghosts is what happened in the old society." The 80-year-old engineer sighed with a characteristic of the times, "Xiaowa, I think we can slow down the land reclamation first, let's use Time to get help."

Wagner was stunned for a while before realizing that Xiaowa was addressing him... Wiping off his sweat, he said, "Of course I listen to you."

There are two types of undead in Tarantan. One is capable of fighting and is more capable of making troubles, and the other is not involved in fighting, but can preside over things and have great abilities—this is a fact that the aborigines of the city hall have discovered long ago .

As for the difference between these two kinds of undead, it is also easy to distinguish... The former likes to wear equipment and carry weapons around, act without any scruples, and often treat others as transparent people; most of the latter only wear simple clothes (novice suits), Be polite and polite to people, and communicate patiently with people—this is also the experience that the aborigines in the city hall have explored on their own.

For the latter, everyone in the city hall respects them very much. After all, the representatives of this type of undead are Mayor Ji Tang and Ms. Zhao, let alone Wagner. People with knowledge from big places can't find anything wrong with it.

Under the advice of the old engineer, Wagner first asked people to heat hot water and prepare potions, and then divided the four thousand refugees into several groups according to men, women, old and young to clean them, shave their hair, and distribute their clothes. .

Although it is better to simply wash the wound, distribute some diluted alchemy potion, apply Piyanping to those with skin diseases, and apply Yunnan Baiyao to those with trauma, it is better than doing nothing.

Next, it is to make "health-preserving meals" for these refugees who all have long-term malnutrition symptoms-in fact, they are stewed in a large pot with egg and vegetable leaves, and corn porridge with less oil and less salt; people who are chronically hungry should not eat too much Greasy things, this bit of common sense locals know.

By the time the refugees were resettled into the vacated houses in New Town, it was already dark.

At night, the "NPC colleagues" had to rest, and the old engineer and Wu Qing did not bother them. They each took their backpacks and left the valley to explore the surrounding terrain and water sources.

When Wagner got up at dawn, he found that only the undead engineer was left working in the town hall, and the undead agronomist was gone—the aborigines who joined the matrix could see the ID above the player's head, and the ID could identify the identity of the undead.

"The two of us encountered a monster when we ran outside to look at the terrain. We were chased by a group of wolves in the middle of the night. Xiao Wu was not used to running, so he was killed by wolves." To Wagner's question, the old engineer replied, "She died. It’s been more than 40 minutes since I’ve been offline, and I’ll be able to come back up after ten more minutes.”

Wagner: "..."

He can already vaguely understand that the undead sometimes appear in the place where they were sent after death (war period), and sometimes they seem to return to the world where they stayed, and it takes an hour to appear (non-war period); The only thing lost is time, so they have no fear of life and death.

And listening to the occasional inadvertent remarks of the undead, it seems that the world where the undead originally lived is also very large, and there are many things beyond Wagner's understanding...

The undead have their own relatives and friends, and the undead also need to "go back" to eat, "go back" to work, and "go back" to school just like normal people...

It would be a lie to say that Wagner is not curious about the origin of the undead; but as long as he thinks that exploring the origin of the undead may offend Yang, the black magician who summoned the undead to the material plane, Wagner rationally Abandon this dangerous idea.

Angry Rex will only be scolded a few words, angered the black magician Yang... Wagner dare not imagine the consequences.

Wu Qing, who was offline, struggled through half an hour (earth time) and the resurrection CD went online, appearing in the teleportation point downstairs of the Xinzhen Town Hall.

"I saw that those players on the forum can kill monsters casually. I thought there would be nothing in the wild that could threaten us. I didn't expect to die after being pounced on by a wolf." Wu Qing, who returned to the team, couldn't laugh or cry, "Uncle , is it possible that we still have to practice the level like the players?"

The old engineer laughed and said: "That's not necessary, haven't you heard from the players that you don't need to go out to fight monsters and do tasks, and you can level up if you stay online. Look at me, I have the same skills as those young people." Level [-], you won't die if you give a wolf a quick pounce."

"That's right, it's easy." Wu Qing immediately gave up his plan to learn how to play games from players, and devoted his energy to work.

In the past, when the owner of this land in the south was a slave trader, except for the base camp hidden in the valley, he had never managed the surrounding area at all. Innadali wanted to build this place into a new town, and everything had to be done from scratch.

The first thing to face is the water problem.

"It's not enough to rely on the stream flowing down from the mountain to supply so many people. We saw it last night. There is a river in the west, which is not too far from the town. Let's divide it into a few cars and draw water to deal with it for a few days. Let's hurry up." Lay a water intake pipe to ensure domestic water first..."

"Let's open the vegetable field to the bank of the river first. It's a little farther away. It's better to run more. There are queues everywhere for Inadoli's well-drilling equipment. When it's our turn, we don't know what to expect. It's time to think about self-reliance first."

Wagner had no objection to the undead engineer's suggestion. On the same day, he selected more than a hundred capable slaves from the first batch of slaves, and led them to open the vegetable field himself.

Walton also wanted to follow, but the old engineer stopped him and found him some work...and asked Walton to take people to wipe out the wolves around New Town.

This kind of activity of killing monsters is usually sent to players by NPCs, and it is unprecedented for "players" to instruct NPCs...

There have been inland merchants passing by in the south for a long time. There is not much threat. There are still many beasts such as wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards. thing.

Walton led more than a dozen cadres who were formerly from the city defense army and diligently swept around the new town for several days, killing two packs of wild wolves, a black bear and a dog entrenched in the forest not far from the new town. The tiger removed the potential safety hazard when the two non-combat undead went out to investigate.

The vegetable fields on the bank of the river have been opened up to hundreds of acres, and the wild beasts in the surrounding areas have been wiped out. Many of the refugees who have had enough to eat for several days have regained their ability to work. Wu Qing, a veteran engineer and poverty alleviation cadre, organized a Vigorous land reclamation activities began on the banks of the river about ten kilometers away from the town.

During the gradual development of New Valley Town, which was originally used as the base camp by slave traders, on a new road, the caravans passing by also discovered a new settlement of people in this wasteland. Caravans, serious businessmen don't know that there is a town hidden in this no-man's land.

These caravans recognized the coat of arms of Charlie Rex, the lord of Innerdale, hanging on the flagpole at the mouth of the valley, and asked if they could pay for accommodation and supplies; Will push people out, and start a post business by the way...

One day in July of 1032 in the foreign world, Yang Qiu's mage tower was only short of capping and laying out the inner magic circle, and when the new town had opened up more than a thousand acres of wasteland and planted soybeans, there was a team from the north, Stepped into the southern wilderness area of ​​Adler's territory.

The number of this team is not large, only a dozen or so people.

Although the number of people is small, the caravan on the same road did not have the idea of ​​​​temporarily "transferring" to this team... A small team of about ten people dared to walk on the mainland. , There are no wounded in the team, which can already explain many problems.

"So, your caravan has already been to Inadoli once this year?"

On the boring journey, there was a black-haired young man wearing a half body armor and two knives pinned to his waist, who looked very energetic, and chatted with the caravan staff with a smile.

"Yes." The caravan guy knew what the other party's black hair and the appearance of a Kenyan in the north meant, and his attitude was quite polite. I went to the Norsk Federation, but the things I can buy this year are really good. When I came to Innadali two months ago, the boss said that I don’t need to go to Norsk, and I will go back to my hometown and sell the goods first. .”

"That's right." The black-haired young man's smiling face was a bit weird, and he seemed to be casually saying, "Are the products of Inadoli so good?"

The caravan guy didn't notice anything wrong with the smiling face of the black-haired young man. He pulled up his cloak and showed him the grass-green short-sleeved T-shirt under the sun-proof cloak, and nodded with a smirk: "Yes, sir, look at my shirt. Such a beautiful color and such a soft material cost only ten copper coins per piece."

The black-haired young man stared at the slightly pilled but still comfortable T-shirt under the cloak of the caravan buddy for a few seconds, his smile became brighter, but his expression became colder.
