They don't want me to work harder

The voice paused for a moment and then changed his words: "Yeah, it's not as serious as you think. Everything is still under plan. Anyway, please hurry up and ask Follett to send out the troops as soon as possible."

"I understand, sir..."

at the same time.

In the hotel room, Richard paced irritably.

Baron Follett was furious after discovering his son was dead a few hours ago.

There is nothing to say about the case investigation. It is basically certain that an assassin type professional sneaked into the assassination and escaped.Coincidentally, even though the investigation was short-lived, there was indeed a bronze-level assassin leader among the "one hundred and eight" bandits in the Abaranya Mountains.

Originally, Follett was afraid of failing again and was relatively shy about taking over the bandits, but now everything has changed.Coupled with Daniel's instigation, he decided to immediately mobilize his army to attack!

So Richard became confused.

First of all, the matter of the gophers is currently unfinished.

And Follett's son died, and he had no evidence to prove that the murderer was not a bandit. As a result, the crackdown was destined to be unable to stop him.

But on the other hand, on the whole, he sympathized with the bandits and didn't think that simple suppression could solve the problem - at least a combination of suppression and pacification, right?

Specifically, he didn't want David and the people in the small mountain village to be involved in the war-but this seemed unlikely.

Moreover, no matter what, this sudden assassination makes people feel full of conspiracy no matter how you think about it...

Looking outside the hotel room at the oxcarts that were constantly delivering equipment and grain, and feeling the tense atmosphere that filled the residents' conversations, Richard felt mixed.

Recalling the Haikou he and Luna had visited not long ago, he couldn't help but want to laugh at himself.

Just at this moment, Daniel, riding a tall horse, passed under the hotel.

After Follett decided to go on an expedition, the coal boss took over the task of raising military supplies.

Knowing that Richard was staying in the hotel, he raised his head and smiled provocatively towards the window, as if to say: Look, what are the consequences of your reckless nonsense?

The anger and sadness of his nephew's death were not visible at all on his face.

Richard raised his brows slightly and murmured: "This cruel joy will eventually end in cruelty..."

"Richard?"

Turning his head, he saw that it was Zoe who was speaking.

"what happened?"

"I'm... a little worried about you."

She came over, grabbed Richard's sleeve with her little hand and said, "I sometimes don't understand why you do that, but are we going too deep into the situation in Nyon? Is there any danger?"

Li looked at the little girl who was only 14 years old mentally and physically in front of him. He recalled how the latter had walked up mountains and into the woods without any complaints in the past few days, and he couldn't help but rub her head with distress.

"It's okay, I have a measure."

"Okay, anyway...I'll go wherever you go."

"You are becoming more and more clingy."

"Yeah! Be gentle!"

Richard pinched Zoe's face, which was full of collagen, causing the little girl to scratch.

After laughing, he called Katyusha over and told them not to worry blindly and to have a good rest.

Returning to the window, he stared out at the sunset gradually hiding behind the mountains, and summoned a sparrow.

He hid the note under the sparrow's feathers and asked it to tell David what happened today - but to be honest, he felt that with the degree of integration between the bandits and the mountain people, if troops were mobilized in Nyon, it would be a big blow. Wei should have received the news.

After the sparrow disappeared into the horizon, Richard lay down on the bed.

This is all he can do in a short period of time. As for the result...

Let’s take a look through simulation!

[Hardcore ruthless simulator has been launched]

[In the year 3541 of the Caesar calendar, you are in the city of Nyon at the foot of the Abalania Mountains, waiting for a conflict to break out]

How about waiting?

Must observe closely!

[You summoned the falcon, followed Baron Follett's army, left the city of Nyon, and headed for the mountain pass on the edge of the basin]

[Just when you were cosplaying Assassin's Creed, a storm carrying "sand" suddenly hit, killing the Falcon and cutting off your vision]

Is this a joke?

In the mountainous area, there's a storm, and it's carrying mud and sand?Is this normal climate?

Is it the army guarding against prying eyes, or some crippled mage...

[Soon, many embarrassed and bloody people came running outside the city. They were all soldiers led by the baron]

[They claimed that they encountered an ambush and the entire army was wiped out!There is also a terrifying monster that has devoured the corpses of the deceased and is approaching the city...]

[No one believed them at first, but soon, everyone saw the monster]

[It was a fungus beast... but it was dozens of meters high, like a hill, and the sticky threads on its body were covered with human beings. Most of them were mutilated corpses, and the rest were still alive, with faces full of despair and their mouths wide open. , but his throat was blocked by the surging mucus, and he could only scream silently at the compatriots at the top of the city]

At first, Richard thought of the alien movies he had seen in his previous life, in which the humans were captured by aliens and trapped on the wall with their secretions.

Oh my god, what is this?

[The giant fungus beast approached the city, and the soldiers on the city wall fired bullets in fear, but it was of no use to this thing]

[Then the fungus beast trembled for a while, and larger and larger pustules grew on its body. Finally, the remaining human limbs and broken arms were sprayed out, and exploded into the city, turning into small fungus beast jelly, attacking the residents everywhere]

[At the same time, hundreds of people with red masks suddenly rushed into the street in the city. They shouted that all souls are empty, and together with the little fungus beasts, they attacked the residents in the city]

[In this chaotic moment, you take Zoe and Katyusha and run away]

[You are trying to eliminate the fungus beasts and cultists who are making trouble on the streets. The former is easy, but when the latter is about to die, an adhesive substance similar to the fungus beast's body will emerge from the body, and it will stand up again like a zombie. It is extremely difficult to kill. die】

[You are soon trapped on the street]

[At this time you met a knight who was also resisting. He found you and asked you expectantly if you were a silver-level mage, but you could only shake your head regretfully]

[The knight is desperate. At your urging, he explains that the monsters outside have the power to approach gold infinitely. Your only hope is to activate the magic circle left by the legendary mage in Nyon City, but that magic circle requires at least Only silver can be effective, and the only silver in the city has died in an ambush because it followed Baron Follett on the expedition...]

[A loud bang interrupted the knight's words. You turned around and saw the giant fungus beast breaking through the city wall]

Ah this...

The situation took a turn for the worse, leaving Richard a little confused.

Could it be that I am going to die now?

Will this be the shortest simulation since my time travel?

[At this moment, a cold light flashed from the sky]

[A sword light swept across the mountain forest, spanning a distance of several thousand meters, and struck the giant fungus beast heavily, splitting it in two]

Before Richard could be thankful that he had a master, the mutation happened again!

[The fungus beast that was divided into two parts did not die. Instead, it used the sticky threads on its body to lift hundreds of human corpses, and pieced together a strange, inverted pattern of hands together in mid-air]

[The nearby magic elements vibrated instantly, and dozens of sizzling space-time rifts appeared all around]

As a summoner, Richard is very familiar with this phenomenon.

Is this because a master is coming and the monster is trying to escape across the border?Or do you want a fantasy world to overlap with the main plane and find more monsters to help?

But unfortunately, he couldn't see the result.

[The spells of the giant fungus beast are quite rough, and the surge of magical energy will directly knock you away and fall into the nearby opened space-time gate]

[You fainted]

[When you wake up, you are lying on a deserted beach]

Am I out of the battlefield?

Phew...it's safe for now.

But what about Zoe and Katyusha?

Richard's expression became serious.

The start of this simulation was so thrilling!

And in terms of time, unlike the previous days or even years before something happened, he and the people he cares about will face a life-or-death crisis within a few hours!

In this case, the remaining simulation time must not be wasted.

He must investigate what the giant fungus beast is, what is going on with those guys who shout that all souls are empty, and is there any way to avoid this tragedy...

Only in this way, when the simulation ends and returns to reality, can he have a chance to survive!

[You strengthen your belief and start to check your own situation]

[The unprotected cross-border travel and the out-of-control magic power from the fungus beasts have greatly damaged your body, fractured your legs, and temporarily degraded your strength to the first stage of black iron. It will take a long time to recover]

[You look around and see the shadow of a ship, hurriedly waving for help]

[The ship comes to the front, and a few dirty sailors carrying weapons come ashore and see you with a sinister smile]

[You realized that the visitor was evil, pretended to be helpless, claimed to be a sailor in distress, asked where this place was, and hoped to be rescued]

[However, the answer from the other side was just a pair of shackles]

[When you were captured back to the ship and saw a cabin full of shackled people, you realized...this is the Divine Grace Islands, and you were captured by a slave ship]

The corners of Richard's mouth twitched, and he had nothing to say.

That's all, if you're unlucky, you're unlucky. At least you won't meet cannibals on a desert island.

[You were captured by a slave ship and transported to the big island in the south, a dirty but crowded port city. There is the largest slave exchange nearby]

[And here, you are surprised to find that slave traders are the true egalitarians and anti-racial discrimination pioneers of this era - whether they are imperial Vandans, red-brown indigenous people, or elves and dwarves. Orcs, and even a four-meter-tall swamp giant, are all listed for sale here]

Richard chuckled in his heart.

Is this some kind of black humor?

But complaints are complaints, and he has no intention of causing trouble in this situation.

For him, the top priority is to recover from his injuries, regain his strength, save his life and investigate the matter in Nyon City.
