Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly.
The next moment, the two spoke in unison.
""forward!""
The two people's consciousness seemed to have traveled through the tunnel of time and space, and the scene before their eyes changed rapidly.
The next moment, they unexpectedly came to a quaint square.
Around the square stand small wooden houses. These houses look primitive and natural, giving people a feeling of returning to the countryside.
This seems to be a country village in Western Europe, and every wooden house exudes a long historical atmosphere.
The stone pavement in the square has weathered the test of time, but it is still strong and durable, as if telling the vicissitudes of life it has gone through.
It was dusk, and the soft sunlight shone on the square and the wooden houses, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Through the windows of the wooden house, you can see people busy at work.
They may sit in front of the door chatting, work in the fields, or prepare dinner in the kitchen with curling smoke. These ordinary and warm scenes are like a moving pastoral painting.
Here, time seems to stand still, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the world.
Hayasaka Ai was surprised and asked, "There are still living people here?"
"They are residents, but not humans." Huo Xia shook his head and added, "Unless you are very confident in your abilities, don't provoke them. They are all ghosts."
Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly and took a step forward, but her body trembled slightly and she was a little unsteady, as if she had low blood sugar.
"Woo..."
Huo Xia hurriedly helped her and reminded her: "Every time you move in this game, you have to pay a price, which is to age one year."
"You mean I'm a year older?"
"It's not growing up, it's aging." Huo Xia corrected carefully: "It's the decline of physiological function. It feels like a lot of energy has been drained away."
“Or you over-exercise in a short period of time, which can cause soreness all over your body and make it difficult to use your body functions.”
"Once you are over 20 years old, it will be reflected in your body, that is, you will start to look like an old man."
"If you could see your face underneath the armor, you would notice wrinkles on your once delicate skin."
Hayasaka Ai's eyes widened and she fell into self-doubt.
She is only in the first year of high school, is she going to have wrinkles! ?
This is a huge thing for a young girl.
Huo Xia comforted him, "Don't worry, no matter what the result is, the signs of aging will disappear after you get out. At most, your life span will be shortened a little, and you will die a dozen years earlier."
“It’s really unsettling!”
Hayasaka Ai complained loudly.
At this time, the villagers in the territory slowly stepped forward. It was a man dressed in medieval peasant clothes, like a village chief. Except for the fact that he had no shadow, he looked like an ordinary person.
"You two are new knights, right? If you want to become our lord, all you have to do is stick your sword there and issue decrees with your token."
As he spoke, the village chief pointed to the knight's sword stuck in the stone platform in the center of the square.
Hayasaka Ai complained: "It looks like the Sword in the Stone..."
"After all, it's a Celtic myth." Huo Xia agreed in a low voice.
This is also the reason why most people in the game "Promotion Map" choose to form a team instead of occupying more territories, because it is too easy to seize a piece of territory. You just need to pay a sum of money, enter the occupied territory, insert a sword, and then issue a decree, and the territory will change hands.
Huo Xia sighed and decided to proceed step by step when Athena's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Kill all the ghosts in this village."
Under the scorching summer sun, Huoxia is clad in heavy armor, like an ancient warrior, mysterious and majestic.
The mask obscured his face, making it difficult to peek into his inner thoughts.
Huo Xia was somewhat shaken by Athena's proposal.
After thinking for a moment, I felt that obeying her would not cause any big trouble.
"Sir, please insert this sword into the stone platform in the square."
The village chief stepped forward respectfully and raised the village's best sword with both hands.
Huo Xia took the sharpest sword in the village from the village chief, inserted it into the stone platform in the center of the square, and felt a force transmitted from the sword to the entire village.
With a "click", the sword was inserted into the stone platform tightly, as if it had become one with the platform.
In an instant, the villagers in the square applauded as if they had been rehearsed, and their cheers and congratulations came like a tide.
Their expressions were exaggerated and enthusiastic, as if they were celebrating some major victory.
This scene was not only taking place in this territory, many heavily armored players were also repeating this ritual in their respective territories.
These territories vary, with quiet villages, majestic castles, busy post stations, and strict armies...
They are like microcosms of various human settlements in the Middle Ages.
After completing the occupation ceremony, Huoxia, located in the seventeenth territory, promulgated a law: "All people in the territory must pledge allegiance to me!"
His voice echoed in the air like some irresistible command.
The villagers present echoed this, their voices filled with compliments and congratulations.
Although their expressions were exaggerated, Hayasaka Ai felt an inexplicable chill running up her tailbone, making her feel a little uneasy.
The chill made the little maid in the armor feel that something seemed to be wrong.
The performances of these villagers were too uniform and too exaggerated, as if they were being manipulated. Their smiles looked like expressions made of plasticine, and their cheers seemed like performances on stage.
All this felt too weird to Hayasaka Ai.
"NPC?"
Hayasaka Ai whispered softly.
If the game in front of us is really a game, then these villagers are real NPCs, and such behavior seems reasonable.
Just as she was thinking, Huo Xia's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Xiao Ai, close your eyes for a moment."
Hayasaka Ai was startled at first by such a kind reminder, and then said calmly: "Please rest assured, Master Huo, I am also a trained maid, and I have seen a lot of shocking darkness. No matter what you want to do, you don't need to worry about me."
"Rather, as a maid who is about to switch to your side, it is really unqualified if I can't even bear the behavior of my superior."
"So please don't worry about me and just do what you want."
Hayasaka Ai needs to witness everything that happens before her eyes carefully and remember it all in her mind.
Huo Xia didn't know what to say about the girl's seriousness.
"it is good!"
After uttering this word, Huo Xia stared at the village chief through his iron helmet with sharp eyes.
The village chief's face looked extremely distorted in the sunlight, and he tilted his head slightly.
The next moment, Huo Xia's armored fist suddenly swung towards the village chief's face.
The force of this punch was like a sledgehammer, causing the village chief's face to instantly cave in, like a sandbag that had been hit hard.
There was a loud puff sound!
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly.
Hayasaka Ai's eyes were full of confusion, and the villagers around her were even more shocked.
They had never seen such a scene before. The village chief's face looked like squashed plasticine, distorted and painful.
Despite the heavy blow, the village chief still tried to show an unyielding spirit, with a hint of joy on his face. He asked: "Lord, what are you doing? What did this old slave do wrong?"
Huo Xia seemed not to have heard his question and punched the village chief in the face again.
The sound of banging echoed in the air, and each blow made the village chief's face more sunken.
"You forced me to do this!" the village chief shouted.
Although his entire head was deformed and looked like a sandbag about to burst, he was still ready to fight back.
However, Huo Xia did not give him a chance. He swung his iron fist again and hit the village chief on the head.
With a loud bang, the village chief's head exploded instantly, and what splashed out was not blood and flesh, but sand and straw.
At this moment, the village chief had turned into a broken body and fell to the ground.
The neck was broken, leaving only hay and sand, like a destroyed scarecrow.
This scene excited the villagers present.
Their voices echoed in the air.
"As our lord, he actually killed the village chief in public. This is totally unheard of!"
A villager said with a grin.
"That's right, someone like you who kills innocent people indiscriminately is not worthy of being our lord!"
“The lives of the villagers are also lives!”
Other villagers followed suit, picking up their weapons - steel forks, sticks, kitchen knives and anything else that could be used to attack.
Their anger and excitement made them lose their minds, and they seemed to be fighting for the death of the village chief.
All the villagers looked at Huo Xia viciously.
Although they didn't know why this player deliberately violated the taboo, since he made a mistake, they would not be polite.
At this time, a familiar voice came to Huo Xia's ears.
[You maliciously kill civilians and get the achievement "Murderer". The residents of the territory will remember your bad name and you will become an "attackable player". ]
Hearing this, Huo Xia's mouth twitched slightly.
call!
A sound of breaking air was heard, and a villager swung a sickle and chopped towards Huo Xia. The sickle hit the armor, making a noise, but did not shake Huo Xia's body at all.
Huo Xia raised his head again and punched the thin villager.
boom!
With just one punch, the villager was smashed to pieces and turned into hay and mud on the ground.
[You maliciously killed the villagers...]
Huo Xia leaped up and blasted out in all directions with his hands, which instantly turned into layers of fist shadows that spread out in the surroundings.
[You kill with malicious intent...]
[Malicious killing...]
【Kill...】
The reminder sounds of the game continued to sound, and Huo Xia used countless violence wantonly. In just a blink of an eye, he slaughtered all the more than 100 people in the village.
During the whole process, Hayasaka Ai was so frightened that she was trembling with fear and wanted to find a place to hide to avoid being implicated.
But she found that the villagers completely ignored her.
"Oh, yeah, I didn't kill anyone, I'm not a red-named player."
Realizing this, Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and even moved a chair from an unknown corner, sitting aside and quietly enjoying the scene of the knight slaughtering the village.
After the whole place was in a mess, Hayasaka Ai stood up and applauded.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Master Shen has accomplished the feat of killing a hundred people."
In response to such a teasing, Huo Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and he said seriously: "I don't want to be like this either."
"Ah."
Hayasaka Ai did not comment on this, and then said in a strange tone, as if satisfied: "But it looks quite relaxing."
Huo Xia: “…”
Just when Huo Xia was speechless, he heard the sound of a game prompt.
[You have been wanted for the crime of slaughtering the territory. The surrounding lords will launch a crusade against you. At the same time, you will be cursed - you cannot lie to your loyalists. ]
