Shadow monk of online game

Chapter 24 The Prophet's Hat
There is a text message from the bank in the mobile phone, 5 RMB has been credited to the account, playing with you is indeed a big customer with integrity.

Lu Ping ate something casually, turned on the computer and entered the official website of the "Magic Gate" game. He had to find out the map of the game world and the forces of various countries to find a way out for himself.

First look at the world map. There is no Fog Town on the world map, but a small gray area representing Novice Village. is in this position.In fact, no one can walk. After passing the test, they are directly sent to the border towns of Erasia or Eri with the teleportation magic circle.

There is a big lake in the south of Xinshou Village. With this lake as a positioning, Lu Ping roughly knows where he is.Then he looked at the power of each country, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw hope!
Not far to the southwest of the Great Lakes, between Erasia and Tujleon Forest, there is an area called Harmondale, which is not large in size, but has a long history.

This is a land that must be contested by all strategists. In history, humans and elves have fought for hundreds of years and fought countless battles to compete for this land. The lords of Harmondale have changed one after another, and none of them can sit still. It takes a long time, and no one can die.But just three years ago, four mysterious people of unknown origin won Harmondale in the competition held by Sir Markham, and they had both sides, so that Queen Serin of the Human Empire and Parson, the king of the elves, both recognized Harmondale. Mundell's independent status will never be violated.

Harmondale is an independent area, which takes care of its own internal affairs. It is not under the control of Erathia or Tula Leon, so if you escape there, you will probably not be wanted!

Lu Ping was so excited that he almost smashed the keyboard. Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road. My brother can always turn bad luck into good fortune, and make good fortune in disaster. What is this called?If one survives, there will be future fortunes!

He casually clicked into the forum to take a look, and there was a new post with the title: Boss-level players appear in Dense Fog Town!
Are you talking about him?Lu Ping clicked in to see, and sure enough, he was talking about the decisive battle to hunt him down, but it was exaggerated several times. Why can't thousands of people catch one person? Art, meteor fire rain magic, etc., blowing him into the sky.

Decisive Battle for the World is a big embarrassment this time, so I don’t want to publicize this matter, deny it to the outside world, and handle it in a low-key manner, so people who haven’t seen it with their own eyes don’t believe it, and people in other Xinshou Village don’t believe it. The hype of the decisive battle in the world, the appraisal is completed.

However, in the reply to the post, some people claimed to have participated in the hunt in person, and the person who was hunted down was called "Lu Buping".

Lu Ping looked at other posts, and found that someone in other Xianshou villages found the prophet two hours earlier than him. It is said that there are earlier players in foreign countries, but no one mentioned killing the prophet.

Lu Ping waited restlessly for about two hours, and then entered the game. Sure enough, it was already dawn. An Li sent several greetings, asking how he was doing, but An Li was not online at this time.When he saw Fenghou, he also left a message asking him if he was the one who was chasing him, and if he needed help.

Lu Ping secretly sighed, now he can only wait until he arrives in Harmondale to know if there is a way out. If he can stay in Harmondale, he will have a chance to meet soon, because the distance is not too far.He didn't want to say anything until he found a way out, so he set the system to reject all voice and video requests.

Packed up my mood and continued on my way. With goals and hopes, I walked with more energy. The direction changed and I walked southwest.

After walking for a long time, he went offline for a short rest, and then entered the game to try to move forward, climb mountains and ridges, and avoid monsters. As long as he thought that others were killing monsters, doing tasks, and fighting bosses at this time, but he didn't get any money, he My heart is burning like a fire, and I will not stop no matter how hard or tired I am.

Without the shadow stealth stunt, it is impossible for him to go so far, but he came over, and the difficulties and obstacles all the way did not stop him. Before he knew it, the day passed and it was dark again. At this time, he was too tired to walk Without moving, the character becomes fatigued.

Characters in the game will be fatigued if they fight, run for a long time, have no body rest for many days, or use some kind of super magic. After fatigue, various attributes and movement speed will decrease significantly, and they need to stay in hotels or camp to recover. .

Players can let the characters stay in the game world to rest, and do other things offline by themselves, but it must be in an absolutely safe place, or there must be companions guarding them. In case of monster attacks during camping, the characters will follow the set conditions Automatic fight or flight.

Just at this time, Lu Ping found a lumberjack's hut. There was no one in it but he could rest, so he chose to sleep offline, and set it to escape automatically if there was a monster attack.

In reality, it was already midnight, Lu Ping filled his stomach, moved his body, and went to bed.During the game, the brain is in a semi-dormant state and is still working, so at least a few hours of deep sleep every day must be spent, and some time must be spent exercising the body, otherwise the muscles will degenerate and shrink after a long time.

After waking up the next morning, Lu Ping was full of energy. With milk and bread to satisfy his stomach, he hurriedly entered the game.

After his eyes lit up, Lu Ping was stunned. He was not in the lumberjack's hut, but in a dark and damp stone room. The door was made of thick steel, and the small window had thick iron bars, which looked like is a prison.

"Ding!" The system prompts: "You encountered an attack while you were resting, and you cannot escape. Because the enemy is too strong, the system automatically gave up resistance and fighting. You can view the incident process from the system's automatic video."

"Ding!" The system prompts: "You were caught by the Griffin Patrolmen in Harmondale and put in prison. You will pay the price for the crimes you committed!"

Lu Ping almost spurted blood, and tried his best to escape for two days, but he was still caught. He thought that Harmondale was independent, but he was also wanted, this time it was really over.

"Come on, let me out!" Lu Ping yelled at the top of his voice.

"What's the noise, you're looking for death!" A rough and loud voice sounded from a distance outside, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps approaching the door, someone opened the small window on the door and took a look inside, and then opened it with a "jingle" sound. He locked the big lock and opened the heavy iron door. Two tall and strong guards stood at the door, wearing gorgeous golden chain armor, holding an iron shield in his left hand and a radiant sword in his right. It's a question mark, and I don't know how many levels there are.

"I...why did you lock me up here? What crime did I commit?" Facing the two senior guards, Lu Ping was also a little timid. The main reason was that he had really committed a crime and was not justified.

The guard on the right snorted: "Guilty or not is up to the judge, not you. Come with us, don't try to slip away, or you will be executed before you see the judge!"

So it's a death sentence?Is the death penalty downgraded or reincarnated?Lu Ping was frightened and asked again: "Is this Harmondale?"

"Shut up and go!"

Lu Ping didn't dare to speak again, and was caught between two guards. He walked out through a long passage, and there were identical cells on both sides of the passage.

After leaving the high wall of the prison, after walking for a while, we entered a street with people coming and going. From the small map, this should be a fairly large town, maybe even bigger than Dense Fog Town, with various shops and There are functional facilities, and the NPC residents along the road are looking at him and pointing, but they don't see a single player.

Entering the city hall, Lu Ping was surprised to find that there was only one very young person sitting in the middle of the hall, and there was no one else. His name was Frederick.

"I run the town and everything outside of Harmondale Castle, including domestic disputes, extra-marital affairs, burglaries, etc.," said Frederick, and then his voice suddenly became severe." We haven't had any homicides here for more than two years. The roads are not picked up and the doors are not closed at night. You see, all the civil servants have lost their jobs and went home to rest. Harmondale is a paradise, no murders are allowed, not even sneaking around! You Understand?"

Lu Ping looked aggrieved: "My lord, but I didn't kill people here!"

"But you killed people in Dense Fog Town, and you killed several people maliciously! I can ignore how Erasia and Eli are attacking each other, and I can ignore their diplomatic documents, but Harmondale does not allow any murderer!"

It seemed that he was not pursuing the matter of killing the prophet, but was talking about the matter of malicious PK. Lu Ping hurriedly asked: "Please forgive me, I am willing to change my past!"

Frederick nodded: "Now you have two ways to go, first, escort you back to Dense Fog Town, and you have to pay the travel expenses; second, punish you according to local laws, but it depends on you If it’s not a local murder, it can be dealt with leniently, just pay a fine of 17 gold coins.”

"17 gold coins? That's so much!" Lu Ping almost fainted. After finally saving some money, including the murder, the total is less than 6 gold coins. Not even a fraction is enough!
Frederick said very seriously: "Killing people and paying their debts, you have maliciously killed 17 people and only fined you 17 gold coins. This is the lowest standard! If you are not willing to accept the fine..."

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "I am willing, but, but I don't have enough money, can I pay in installments, first pay a part, and pay it as soon as I have money!"

Frederick hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "According to my investigation, you really can't pay that much money, I allow you to pay in batches, but you must pay some interest, the longer the time, the more interest you will get, and Do not leave Harmondale territory until you have paid your debts."

"Okay, okay, I agree!" It can be paid in installments, and there is a guarantee of security. Lu Ping has no reason not to accept it. Compared with being hanged or repatriated, it is already very preferential treatment.

It turns out that Harmondale is an independent region with a detached status and its own legal standards. It does not accept arrest warrants from other countries, which means that the reward issued by Dense Fog Town is invalid here.However, Lu Ping killed many players while escaping. The crime of maliciously killing players is valid in any country and must be tried.

To put it simply, crimes committed against NPCs are only crimes within the territory of that country and its allies; crimes of actively attacking and killing players are crimes in any country, regardless of national boundaries. Falun Dafa on the spot.

Lu Ping immediately handed over 4 gold coins, and Frederick announced that he would be released in court, because he did not pay enough money, and he was still in the red status.And he is not free yet, he has to accept the supervision of the guards and abide by the local laws, such as not stealing, not attacking others, not entering other people's homes to take things casually, not having physical contact against women's wishes, etc. That's what your honor said.

Walking out of the town hall, the sun was rising from the east, shining golden light, Lu Ping took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling comfortable all over, ha, finally no need to run away anymore!
There is not a single player on the streets of Harmondale, except Lu Ping, who are all NPCs. He is now "bailed to make money", and the residents and guards will not kill him, which makes him very happy. Blame grabbing the task, right?I have to hurry up to do tasks, kill monsters and upgrade, make up for the wasted two days, and of course work hard to make money and pay fines!But before that, I have to go to the armor shop to appraise the treasure!
The armor shop was on the street not far from the entrance of the town, and Lu Ping found it quickly. When he entered the shop, the owner was named Peter, and he was polishing a steel shield. Hammering on the iron block.

"Boss, please appraise this hat for me." Lu Ping took out the leather hat and handed it over.

Peter's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He was stunned for a long time before rolling his throat: "Baby, my God, where did you get it? I haven't seen such a thing for several years!"

"Can you identify it?"

"Yes, of course, 2 gold coins!"

Lu Ping was taken aback: "So expensive?"

Peter said: "This is a rare treasure. It is the cheapest to charge you two gold coins. If you go to a big city to have a look, you will be charged at least a dozen gold coins. If you meet those who think they represent justice People with such a bad reputation like you will charge you several times more money!"

The notoriety worth [-] still has an impact on the transaction, Lu Ping said with a smile on his face, "Can you make it cheaper, I will visit your place often in the future."

Peter shook his head: "When we first met, I didn't like you. If you don't have money, please leave. The gate is over there."

"Wait, I have some things to sell!" Lu Ping took out from the package. They were all the things that were thrown out by the people who fought the world before. All the white boards were sold, and the yellow clothes with bad attributes were also sold. Finally, I got enough for 2 coins.

Peter took the hat and the money, fiddled with them for a while, mumbled, a purple light came out from his hand, and the leather hat showed its attributes.

[Prophet's Hat]: This fur hat was worn by a great prophet, and part of his wisdom remained on it. Wearing this fur hat can make you extremely smart, clear-headed, and exceptionally perceptive. powerful.Defense +18, Intelligence +25, Learning +10, Item Identification +10, Quality: Treasure, no equipment required.

Lu Ping opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a duck egg into it. It is powerful, super powerful, not to mention attributes, both skills are +10!

What does learning skill +10 mean?From the skill description, the basic learning technique increases experience by 1% for each level, and the effect becomes double when reaching the expert level, triples when reaching the master level, and quadruples when reaching the master level.Then, when the learning skill is at the basic level, wearing this hat can only increase the experience by 1%, and when the learning skill reaches the master level, the extra experience gained by wearing this hat is 10%.

Wearing a hat and killing monsters can increase experience by 40%. How big of an advantage is this?Even increasing experience by 10% is already very good, plus there is no one here to fight monsters or quests with him, the level will rise rapidly, treasures are treasures!
There is also item identification +10, as long as you learn item identification, you will become level 11 after wearing the hat, which is higher than any player in the game now, probably even orange equipment can be identified, and you will never be NPC again exploited.Uncle blacksmith, brother will never patronize your broken shop again!
The power of treasures is not only its attributes, because the skill levels attached to ordinary equipment cannot be superimposed, but treasures and holy relics can, so equipment above the treasure level is the ultimate pursuit of players!

The main function of intelligence is to increase magic attack and magic value, which doesn't work for Lu Ping now, but the attribute is there, it's better to be higher, right?

Lu Ping was so excited that he put on the prophet's hat and ran towards the city gate. The treasure was obtained, but he was poor and could not even afford the medicine. He had to ask the monsters for some money immediately, to buy medicine, scrolls, Learn skills and pay fines.
