The Age of Machines

Chapter 288 Mary
"Because I'm envious!"

The civet cat sighed softly, without stopping its movements.Her bow and arrow are double-headed, with the head of a explosive lion, and finely crushed crystals are dotted from the middle to both sides.When attacking, the spar flashes light, which is really beautiful.Beixi suddenly thought that when she just came in, the civet cat's back spread its wings. Could it be that she is also an elemental archer after changing jobs?

"You're really direct." Beixi didn't know how to answer the words so directly.

The civet cat smiled lightly: "I'm just telling the truth. I've been in the [Tucheng Guild] for two years, and I've seen many examples of mutual betrayal and fighting between friends. The [Tucheng] guild regulations are very strict, but in In the strict management method, some loopholes cannot be avoided."

The Grand Guild is a mixed bag, and if the management is not strict, it will definitely be chaotic.Players have different personalities, and it is impossible for the management method to be useful for everyone.Beixi knows the guild management of [Tucheng], and a player in the previous life posted a post to compare them.Compared with other guilds, it is indeed too perverted in restricting players.

Once joining the guild, players are like signing a life-and-death contract. As long as they make mistakes and quit the guild, quit the guild if they miss the chance, quit the guild for betrayal, etc., they will be hunted down.It can be said that in the eyes of [Tucheng], once they enter [Tucheng], they must be their people for the rest of their lives.

This kind of request is a bit abnormal, but the guild warehouse, guild territory, and welfare for players of [Massacre] are the best compared to other guilds.Under the temptation of various aspects, some players still entered.

Leaving aside the basic benefits, I heard that players who are above the Silver Knight in the guild will receive high-end money and equipment every month.The money alone is basically 5 gold coins, and the equipment is no less than dark gold.Converted into RMB is a fortune.I have to say [Massacre] is really a big deal!They divide players by knight rank, and differentiate players based on the resources they contribute, prestige, etc.

High-ranking people can order low-ranking people to do things, and low-ranking people generally have no right to refuse!Then unconsciously formed a "snobbish" atmosphere.As a result, the players within them are fighting openly and secretly, constantly climbing up.

"The management of [Tucheng] was good in some aspects at the beginning. But as time went on, the loopholes became bigger. It is necessary to restrict the behavior of players, but the benefits are too hierarchical, and slowly let the players Competing for welfare and fame and fortune. It will be ruined!"

Tanuki looked at Beixi, "The benefits in the mechanical age seem to be almost the same. Will this make players feel unfair?" She has seen the welfare fund set by the guild. Each player can receive 500 yuan a month from the guild. gold.Because it is still a second-level guild, it cannot be set too much.But if the benefits are the same, it's like the elite group works harder than ordinary members, but the money they receive every month is the same as that of ordinary members. Will it make them feel unbalanced?Is Beixi really not worried about problems with his guild?

"Everyone stays in the same guild, and the status is the same." Beixi wanted to tell everyone in the guild that there is no hierarchy in the mechanical age, so there is absolutely no superiors suppressing lower ones, and there is no need to fight each other for fame and fortune.Staying in a guild, aren't we all friends?

The civet cat paused, and asked again: "Then why separate the legend group and the elite group?"

"If there is a crisis in the guild, they must stand up first." In other words, the legend group and the elite group are the vanguard of the guild.They are groups that exist for the guild and to protect guild players.Their power and glory are all due to the existence of ordinary members.Once ordinary members do not need elite groups, there will be no elite groups in the mechanical age, because everyone is an elite.

"In fact, there is no essential difference between the elite group and the ordinary members. It is a technical problem! When the elite group was divided, it was also made clear to the players that the resources are all in the warehouse. You can go through the back door. If you want to join the elite group, anyone can enter as long as they are technically qualified. There is absolutely no treatment different from ordinary members!"

"You're not afraid..." Bei Xi interrupted her before the civet cat finished speaking, "When the mechanical age becomes a first-level guild, there will no longer be an elite group. Either quit the elite group, or encourage other ordinary members to become elites together .The benefits will not change!"

The civet cat's breathing was stagnant. It turned out that Beixi had been planning to turn the mechanical age into an elite guild.A complete elite guild, even a guild like [Tucheng], cannot be called an elite guild.After the first level, for the sake of development, many guilds choose to attract people without limit. Because of the players' entry, the funds of the guild will double and bring more benefits.

A large number of players joining the guild will make it more difficult to manage the guild. Sometimes a large number of newcomers join the guild, and there will always be friction between one or two old players.Then the accumulation of contradictions in details will become a hidden danger.In the big guild, the number of rookies is more or less the largest.Moreover, new players may not always meet the standard.It's like in a strong team, a bunch of old and weak soldiers are suddenly recruited, dragging the team's forward path.

It is not realistic to want to be a complete elite guild.But when Beixi said this, the civet cat felt inexplicably, if it was her, maybe she could do it, right?Leaving aside the legendary group, the elite group followed them and played a leading role, and the people below will also work hard because of their existence.

Those who assign the elite group to the legend group, they seldom restrain them, and are led by masters, forming a self-styled atmosphere over time.There are not many regulations in the mechanical age, which can be said to be laissez-faire. As long as you don't swear at others outside, spray dirty water inexplicably, and don't bully players casually, everything else has nothing to do with the guild.

The upper beam is straight and the lower beam is naturally impossible to be crooked.Everyone is following the people of the legend group. There are guild players in whatever guild environment there is.The Mechanical Age has done better than any guild in Karans in this regard.Because there is no power struggle, you will feel that the interior of this guild is very clean and not so smoky.Moreover, the age of machinery stipulates that all dissatisfaction should be determined by PK.If you abuse them in the guild, kick them directly.

Tanuki suddenly wanted to look forward to it, staying in the mechanical age and watching how this guild developed into an elite guild. "President, when can I make people?" Tanuki Mao joined the legend group later. Before she came in, people from the elite group had already been made into each team, and there were no extra people to make into her team.She asked like this, because she also had the idea of ​​staying in the mechanical age.

At this time, Hong Chi charged and swept away the monsters, causing countless casualties. When the magic circle appeared in the air, she saw a woman falling in front of Hong Chi, and Bei Xi hurriedly called Hong Chi to stop.This situation came suddenly, and the civet cat didn't expect that the NPC would be spawned by spawning monsters?

"Is it an NPC?"

The woman was wearing a shabby dress, her hair was messy, and her facial features were covered by her hair, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly, and she was very embarrassed.The two received a prompt from the system.Ding, you found [Mary's remaining will].Seeing her in such a mess, go forward and ask her.

The two looked at each other, and it turned out to be an NPC.

This kind of NPC spawned by spawning monsters can usually get experience points just by answering questions.Rewards are given based on the time and correctness of the answers.Sometimes with a little luck, there is a chance to get a package, which may contain weapons, skill books and other top-quality things.

The civet cat smiled, "You go."

Beixi shrugged, "Okay." She generally doesn't like to be hypocritical.Walking up to the NPC, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Mary, you look very embarrassed, have you met a robber?"

The woman swayed, her long hair fluttered, and her pupils looked dark and cold under the cover of her hair.Bei Xi faintly felt that her eyes were not very good, a bit penetrating.

"The robber?" Mary lowered her voice, and suddenly giggled, "How could the robber kill me? That hateful Fallen Witch, ahhh~ I want to go back, I want to go back to [Cologlia], woo woo Woo..." Suddenly, the woman covered her face and began to cry, losing control of her emotions and her tone of voice.

Beixi frowned. Generally speaking, this kind of NPC will ask the player a question after the first question, and the player can gain experience after answering the question.

The civet cat was also taken aback, "Isn't this [random NPC] of Karans a question-and-answer type?"

"Same!" When this happens, there should be a mission.

"Then..." The civet cat bit its finger and realized that it was a mission. "President, try to continue the conversation."

Bei Xi looked at Mary, who was covering her face and crying, and said, "[Colonlia]? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere, it seems to be a small town."

"Do you know [Cologlia]?" Mary raised her head and looked at Beixi suddenly, with sharp eyes and a little expectation.Beixi considered for a few seconds, and said, "I'm not sure if the [Colonlia] you mentioned is consistent with what I know. Miss Mary, could you please describe it a little bit?" sent a message.

Team Channel: [Beixi]: Look up the information about Colonlia.

"Cologlia, woooo~ It's a town near the sea and rich in fishery. It faces the ocean to the south, and the mountains of Reviale to the north. I want to go back, to Kologlia."

Ding, please judge whether Mary's words are true!Yes or no.Time limit: 100 seconds!Unable to answer within that time, Mary disappears.

The civet cat also received such news. Fortunately, Beixi had expected it and asked him to check the information.I looked at the official website for a while, and the information given, just tell the location of Colonlia.

Beixi posted what Mary said on the team channel, Tanuki compared it slightly, and nodded to Beixi, it was true.Beixi chooses Yes, and the system prompts to continue the dialogue.Mary also sobbed and said, "Yes, my Colonia...I want to go back!"

"Then why don't you go back?"

why?
Mary stretched out her hands trembling, covered with dirt, she was terrified, "I, why am I here. Ah, it's him, it's [Muslim], that evil wizard, he lied to me." With a panicked expression, Mary suddenly ran away Into the depths of the valley.

Ding, please follow Mary.

Beixi and the two looked at each other and quickly followed.

They followed Mary all the way, watching behind her.Finding her acting crazy and muttering words, civet cats feel that it is not normal. "This is just an incarnation of will, right?" The real Mary, where the physical body is at this time, is a mystery at all, and where she is going to take the two of them also confuses Beixi and the civet cat.

The deeper you go, the dimmer the light. This is the first time Beixi knows how big [Rosemary Valley] is.After following for a few minutes, the terrain became lower, and the two of them obviously felt that the surrounding air became cloudy, and the number of nearby monsters was decreasing.

Ding, you have entered the 【Ghost Realm】.

"Where is she going?" Going forward, the light disappeared immediately. Beixi took out the magic lamp, and the civet cat felt a little better.It's just that the air is dirty and it's hard to breathe.There are dense trees above the head, illuminated by magic lamps, no matter how you look at it, it is dark.

Mary walked farther and farther, but the road in front of her was a sloping downhill road, which looked very slippery and was about five meters high. If she continued like this, she would be easily injured.And there seems to be something on the ground below!
Beixi gave the magic lamp to the civet cat, the civet cat was slightly stunned, and then saw Beixi jumping down, and quickly switched the illumination state of the magic lamp, shooting out radiation, Beixi fell to the ground suddenly, with a "boom", I don't know what was coming Flying over, the civet cat flicked down the magic lamp, pulled out the bow and arrow from behind, stretched the bow and pulled it, and the flaming arrow came out of the bow, raging fire, accompanied by a scream.

Beixi caught the magic lamp, looked up, and saw that the flames had burned out into a shape, it was a succubus.The civet cat jumped down and landed beside Beixi, saying: "If there are succubi, there must be a lot of monsters."

"Follow."

The two of them didn't say much, and walked straight forward, keeping pace with Mary. "No wonder I can't breathe well, there is magic energy in the air..." The civet cat held its breath, a little uncomfortable.Beixi shot out the magic lamp, and another succubus rushed towards him. His withered hands were like twigs. The civet cats attacked quickly, and the succubus was most afraid of fire.

The surrounding trees are dense, blocking the light, and there are still a few faint green lights, but they can't tell what it is.

Occasionally, something shuttled through the grass, even Beixi and civet cats felt a little uneasy.Not long after, there were finally a few rays of light again, and Mary finally stopped running and stopped in front of a giant tree.This grotesquely shaped giant tree is about three meters high, with a hollow trunk and no broken leaves. There are rows of skulls hanging on the branches!
"It's a fresh skeleton. Look~ the funeral, the funeral is about to begin." Mary covered her face and cried, and ran again.

The civet cat held Bei Xi, "Remember the number of skeletons." Maybe it will be useful later, but I don't know for sure!Beixi really didn't expect to remember the number of skulls, but Mary mentioned it in her mouth, which should be a very important clue.After a slight glance, "five." The two confirmed the number, and then followed immediately.

Soon, they reached the final location. Mary stopped running, but squatted on the stone, her eyes glazed over, looking at the two of Beixi. "If you follow, you won't be able to get out."

"Either kill him, or become a sacrifice with us!"

Behind him was a fiery hell.
