As Deputy Captain Carter led the team back

to the village on the vast plains of Nashimia Plains, the group finally reached

their place of stay.

The stunning scenery also made Roddy's head dazzled by

the drunkenness.

"Nolan Village".

Looking at the wooden sign at the entrance of the

the village, Roddy sat on the horse's back, forgetting to dismount for a while.

"Roddy?"

Deputy Captain Carter led the horse to the stable and

asked back, the latter swallowed hard, moved a bit stiffly to get off the horse

and limped to follow.

Like all the villages on the borders of the Karen

Kingdom, "Nolan Village" was not large in size. It is a territory of

a typical feudal dynasty. Nolan Village has a manor house which belongs to Kirk

Lord. The Lord's property-around the manor was surrounded by spreading

farmhouses and fields, with a population of just two hundred, a smithy, and a

simple little square. The largest building should be regarded as a

windmill mill next to a small river. At this time, the farmers have returned to

the village, and the huge fan blades no longer rotate in the setting

sun. The atmosphere here is peaceful. Occasionally we can hear the dogs

barking in the village, and the farmers are talking about various topics after

finishing farm work. Everything looks like a normal village.

There are no walls or any protection facilities around

Nolan Village and there is no resident force, but because of the special

location of the border, the Duke Lucifron has set up two resident investigation

squads here. Lord Kirk, the original lord of the manor, comes here only

once a year, so the biggest leader of the village was the steward who was sent

to guard the manor.

It was late, and the scout vice-captain Carter

disbanded the team, carrying a sack with orc head to the commander of the two

teams, the room of Second Lieutenant Sordin. However, because of the

strength of the wine, Roddy followed a few "comrades-in-arms" to the

shed where the soldiers collectively ate.

He walked a little, not sure whether it was because of

the wound or the sip of spirits. Roddy rubbed his eyes several times, but

still felt like he was in a dream—because he gradually realized an important

issue that had ignored before ...

Everything he felt in his body seemed too real.

The villagers in the view are dressed in simple

clothes. On the dirt road across the village, some occasional herdsmen drive the flock of sheep. Children playing in the mud run around the ground.

Cooking smoke ... everything, makes him question, how can there be so many

realistic details in the game.

Walking all the way into the humble

"canteen", Roddy sat on a wooden bench and listened to those

"comrades in arms" who were supposed to be NPC talking about the

fighting that took place today. Uncontrollable panic…

... what the hell is going on?

There were many questions in his heart, what he wants to

know most now is ... why does he seem to have entered a place like reality?

What about game servers? What about the

menu? What about the exit game option?

For a modern man who was thinking about whether to go

to McDonald's tonight, it is unrealistic to suddenly come into such a world

without being confused.

"Quit the game ..."

He whispered and started trying the voice instructions

of "Cracked Earth". For holographic illusion, Roddy would rather

believe that this is a buggy backfile for the game. However, when the command to

quit the game failed, he felt like he was drowning.

"... This is not okay."

" It is not possible to force offline

...?"

"Is there anything wrong ..."

The scouts eating next looked at Roddy muttering

something they did not understand, his eyes seemed strange, but Luo Di

obviously didn't have time to talk to them, and still bowed his head there as

if he was a mage chanting a spell ...

All the instructions failed to take effect. Roddy

squeezed his lips and thought for a long time, but finally decided to make a

final attempt-he no longer used Chinese, but spoke in Bringa:

"Character Properties Panel."

"Fuck!"

The scout spilled the bowl of soup he was holding because

of his exclamation-Roddy scrambled to apologize to the other side, and then sat

back to his place.

He looked at the clear list of attributes, and

immediately thought that it was a backtracking bug in "Cracked Soil".

He was full of joy and prepared to call the "quit the game" option,

but his expectations were frozen in the next moment.

Still none? !!

The coolness in his heart gradually permeated, and

Roddy immediately began various attempts, listing almost all the menus that

could be called up, including the taskbar, equipment bar, character attribute

bar, etc., but he couldn't find an exit at all.

The idea that he was still unsure of came to the

surface once again-is he ... not in the game world, but in the real world?

Taking a deep breath for a few times, Roddy suddenly

thought of a way to confirm whether he was in the game-although all the food in

"Cracked Earth" can be eaten, it never brings a taste

stimulus. Just like drinking does not cause drunkenness, the food is

always tasteless, because the technology of holographic simulation does not

meet this requirement at all, and the game company has never done any extra

research in this area ...

He lowered his head and looked at the dark, unfermented

bread in front of him, he swallowed a little and solemnly choked.

Looking at the breadcrumbs falling on the table, Roddy's

heart actually sunk to the bottom, because the physical effects were not so

realistic in the game-but he still shoved the piece of bread into his mouth

slowly. Chewing softly.

Sour, bitter and dry. The taste of black bread is

10,000 times worse than the bread that Roddy bought in the supermarket, but

the bad taste of bread is a bit insignificant compared to the fact it proves

...

By this time, he finally began to realize that he might

never return to his original life.

Forced to chew the bread-like gluten, Roddy remained

stunned for a few minutes, then began to work hard to adapt to the facts at

hand. He thought about it and decided to look at his attributes again.

Then ... he sighed heavily.

The panel full of titles and various values was like a

empty street at the moment, lonely hanging a [Legion Soldier] basic occupation

name and the "level 1" behind it looked like a woman raising a middle

finger at him, making his lips tremble for no reason.

Below is a row of attributes:

Strength: 13 (+3)

Dexterity: 8 (+1)

Mental Strength: 6 (+1)

Constitution: 9 (+3)

Intelligence: 5 (+1)

The attribute in brackets was of [Legion Soldier]. The

growth value brought by this basic profession, known as the [Legion Soldier]

were from the department of Human Physics department, so he is no stranger to

this profession. The attributes in the game cannot be assigned by himself. After

each upgrade, it is automatically increased or decreased according to

occupational characteristics, so he doesn't care about it. As long as the level

is raised, everything is easy to say.

With these ideas in his head, he couldn't help but feel

a little funny in the real world, can he even upgrade?

Thinking of this, he could not help looking at the

experience bar-his expression suddenly became very exciting. The 159

experience gained from killing the orcs was clearly shown there.

Helplessly laughed twice, Roddy temporarily accepted

this ridiculous world. Then I started to think about my battle today-after

thinking about it, I actually had a lot of experience. After all, Nolan

Village at this time is probably no different from Nolan Village in the later

"Novice Village" period. At that time, whoever dared to go to the orc

at the first level? Kill the wolf in the wild, run a letter across the

village, send a letter, and catch a few rabbits. The orc reconnaissance

units encountered yesterday were all level 2-4 guys. Such enemies usually gave for

junior players headaches, because they were usually in groups and occasionally

have wolves to help them. When they meet, they are usually fierce.

Roddy looked at it. It takes 300 experience to reach

the second level. At this time, it is still 141, which is more than

half. He also called out the character equipment column-head, neck,

shoulders, chest, arms, wristbands, belts, legs, feet, special accessories,

rings, left and right weapons, a total of fourteen equipment columns appeared

at a glance.

Of course, they were basically empty.

Counting the two ring bars, a total of 14 positions is

enough to see the importance of "equipment" to the game player. In

the late game, it often happens that the attributes attached to a piece of

equipment are more than ten times the attributes of the character itself. In

the game, all-powerful players are with the best equipment.

Roddy thinks that he is not inferior to anyone. If he

hadn't switched to PVP later than others, he might already be among the first

echelon, but at this moment looking at the equipment bar, he still sighed-he

has no attributes at all and all equipped were below white. A short sword whose

stats can't be lowered makes him no different from an NPC passer-by. Only

an accessory on his neck signified as "equipped."

Roddy didn't take a closer look, only because it was an

ordinary chain, there was no attribute attached to the equipment in the

property bar.

Thinking of the orc horn bow that was seized yesterday,

Roddy was in a better mood. He exhaled and looked at the property bar and

glanced at his blood volume 72/90. He felt strangely tight in his heart but

shook his head. He also knew this. There is no such thing as a "blood

bottle" or herbs to speed up the return of blood.

With these options turned off, Roddy's eyes turned back

and he couldn't help thinking about his current situation.

This is Nolan Village ... Nolan Village ...

His brows frowned and tightened, remembering his

experience in the game in his mind-wasn’t the Nolan Village completely

destroyed by the orcs? Before Roddy crossed here, it had long been a supply

station in the orcs' enemy-occupied area. How could there be human

beings? !!

Not only Nolan Village, but during the game of

"Cracked Earth" that Roddy experienced, the orcs that infiltrated the

northwest almost swallowed up the entire western territory of the Karen Kingdom

... This is related to the incompetence and cowardice of the Royal family. The

the royal family has an inevitable connection with Houllier City, which is the base

of the Lucifron family, has long been a bridgehead for the orcs to invade the

Karen kingdom...

The unknown environment made Roddy even more irritable,

and he strives to calm his rapid breathing. Got up and walked to the pool

beside the shed, and wanted to wash his face, but he completely choked when he

reached out and touched the water.

An unfamiliar face was reflected in water’s reflection,

and Roddy vowed that he would never forget what he looked like, but at the

the moment ... he did understand what was wrong with it.

He seemed to be another person, came to this weird game

world and he was sure that something was weird!

Not far away, a few scouts who had previously saved by

Roddy apparently respected him after experiencing today's things and watched

him looking at the water basin in a daze. They did not dare to say original

mocking words, but then the scout gradually realized the weird atmosphere- because

Roddy was staring at the pool for five minutes.

"Ro ... Roddy?"

"Em?" This awakened Roddy suddenly. He

raised his head, and his confused eyes gradually regained focus. He looked at

the scout who asked out loud and said: “What day is today? "

This sentence was very weird, and the scouts who were

preparing to answer the question were stupefied. He wanted to say if the other

party was stupid, but thinking of today's performance, he still cautiously

replied:" April 10 Day. "

" Which year? "

This question brought other soldiers in this humble

shed back. The death of several scouts today made the atmosphere dull, but

Roddy's problem obviously made some people feel funny. The scout captain Ruger

scolded and replied, "Did you kill your horse today and fall stupid? Don’t

you know which year is this?" The disdainful tone proved that he didn't

take Roddy seriously at all, but the few scouts who survived, their attitude was

much better. After swallowing, he honestly responded, "This year is 588

years of the Elon calendar."

After saying this, everyone saw Roddy's body tremble

suddenly.
