"Brother, this place is no longer a kingdom territory. It is now a neutral area, and I've been fighting non-stop." The man in a knight said, his tone was relaxed, and he was the first person to discover Joel, "It's been like this since a year ago."

"One, a year ago?" Joel was stunned.

"Don't waste time here," the woman who had not spoken before, said impatiently at this time, "If it's too late, it's going to be troublesome. Many players have rushed here."

Player? This is the second time Joel has heard this word. He is sure that he didn't hear it wrong before.

"Then bring this guy into the team. You can't leave him here and leave him alone," said the strong man with a giant axe. "It seems he is a newcomer."

"Ha? Did you just pull a stranger into the team so casually?" The woman obviously distrusts Joel, "You don't know if he is a spy in the Principality!"

"Don't be so sensitive, Xiao Qiao," said the knight in a relaxed tone, "Where are there so many spies? How tired is the infernal dysfunction all day? Isn't it just a newcomer? Seeing that he was bullied so badly, our Brother Xiong must not be able to bear it anymore, right, Brother Xiong?"

"It's true that you can't just leave it alone." The white hooded priest nodded.

"Forget it! I'm too lazy to care about you!" The woman turned her head angrily and walked towards the ruins of Lengxi Town.

"Haha, I'm leaving." The Knight in a relaxed tone laughed dryly, then scratched his head and looked at Joel, "Don't keep it in mind, she's just afraid that you will compete with her for equipment... Speaking of which, you are also an agile account, right?"

"Min, Agile?" Joel looked at the remaining three people blankly.

"Can't you... you don't even know what the agility number is?" The Knight seemed a little embarrassed, and then he looked at the priest who was called "Brother Xiong". "Brother Xiong, Iron Fist, you go find Xiao Qiao first. If her account is lost, she will have to peel my skin when she turns around. I'll teach this newcomer here."

"Okay, then you have to follow up quickly." After saying that, Brother Xiong and the strong man ran towards the direction where the woman who had just been called "Xiao Qiao" left without looking back.

"Then, let me see you, the rookie." The Knight walked around Joel twice, "What, it turns out that I'm not a novice, at least the confidentiality setting is done well."

What exactly are these guys saying? Are they mercenary swearing? Joel is confused.

"So what equipment do you have now?" asked the Knight.

"Equipment, equipment?" Joel had no idea what he was talking about.

"Don't you even know the equipment?" The Knight seemed a little crazy. He hugged his helmet with both hands, "Are you an isolated primitive man?"

"Oh, forget it." The Knight seemed to give up, "Let's teach the others slowly. I'll invite you to join the team first."

Ding~ The fearless Alps invites you to join the team! Are you sure? (y/n).

"Wow?! What is this?!" The sudden box and tingling sound of Joel's eyes scared him.

"Calm down, calm down." The Knight looked at Joel with some confusion, "It's enough to be sure now."

"Yes, are you sure?" Joel looked at the Knight with his face hidden under his helmet through the translucent box, skeptical. How should he be sure?

"Yes, just click." The Knight patiently reminded.

Joel tremblingly stretched out his hand to touch the yes in the box. With a prompt sound of "Ding~", Joel found four squares appearing on the left of his field of vision. Inside the square is the avatar of the four people who had just saved him. The top is the square of the knight, and the words "Fearless Alps" are written next to it. Although it is very small, it can be seen clearly. Then, it is: the strong man "Bored Iron Fist", the priest "Giant Bear Olaf", and the hooded woman "Mu Xiaoqiao".

"Well, I'm still joining the team." A bubble-like thing appeared next to the strong man's block, with what he said, and Joel did hear his voice, a sound with a little noise but still very clear.

Joel widened his eyes and looked around, but he could not see the strong man.

"Haha, don't be so nervous, it's just the language of the team." The Knight patted Joel's shoulder and said.

Is this magic? Is this magic? Can even mercenaries master this level of magic now?! Joel only felt that his worldview was beginning to collapse. He had firmly believed since he was a child what the priest in the church said, "The era of magic has ended long ago, and there is not much magic left now."

"What, did you still pull him in?" Xiao Qiao's dissatisfied voice came again.

"Let me see, this name... Rabbit Hunter Joel? What, it turns out that you are also an RP player, Brother Xiong, there is a newcomer here who is very good at your appetite." The strong man Tie Fist said with a laugh.

"Don't say something misleading." Olaf, known as Brother Xiong, said dissatisfied, but he seemed to have discovered something immediately, "But it's a bit strange."

"What's strange?" asked Tie Fist.

"Isn't his name the npc name before? Can you get the npc name now?" Olaf said in surprise.

"npc?" Tiequan asked in confusion.

"That's it, Joel, the rabbit hunter from Lengxi Town, the one who gives the rabbit feet good luck." Xiao Qiao said coldly, but his tone eased a lot compared to before, "But they are all NPCs from the previous version. After Lengxi Town became a ruin, the NPCs here are basically dead. After NPCs die, they may be able to use their IDs, right?"

"Hey? Then this RP player is really dedicated. He actually chose such a place and such an ID. It's quite amazing, boy." Brother Xiong laughed.

"Look, people ignore you." Tiequan also laughed.

"Iron Fist, don't joke about others. He won't use team voice." Captain Alps said.

...

What are these guys talking about? Joel stared blankly at the conversation bubbles within his field of vision, feeling his mind turning upside down.

But he gradually calmed down from such panic. A year ago... Lengxi Town had been in ruins for a year? Where are Elou and Hemi? Where have they been?

Joel now has only his wife and daughter in his heart, and he must find them.

"Speaking of this, you don't have weapons on you, are you put in your backpack?" asked the Knight Alps.

"Backpack?" Joel frowned. The safety of his wife and daughter made him a little annoyed. Is this guy over there? I don't have any backpacks, can't they see it?

"Forget it, you can't find it even if you have it." Alps sighed, "So what weapon are you going to use?"

What do you mean to use? Although Joel was a little unhappy about the Alps' question, he still did not reveal it. After all, no matter how much he said, this strange mercenary knight, fearless Alps, is his life-saving benefactor. "I can use swords and bows."

"Oh? That's great. I happen to have some equipment here that I have just replaced and haven't sold yet!" Alps seemed very happy, and his fingers kept poking at the air.

Ding~Dare you agree to the fearless Alps to apply for a transaction with you? (y/n).

trade?

"Sorry, but I don't have money..." Joel wanted to refuse politely.

"Hmm? Ah, don't misunderstand me, I won't charge you money. Besides, these things are not worth much money." Knight Alps said cheerfully, while waving his hand to signal Joel not to care.

This guy... maybe he did have a bit of chivalry spirit, although he was a mercenary. Joel thought to himself.

Without knowing what it means, Joel clicked yes on his body, and with a "ding~", the box just now disappeared, but two black boxes appeared, with a circular chart in the middle, and a scale inside. The black boxes on the left and right were divided into four horizontally, six counted, a total of twenty-four small squares. There is a square above the box on the left, inside is Joel's own avatar, and on the right is a square with an Alpine avatar.

With two strange metal sounds, two things appeared in the two small squares in the black square on the other side of the Alps, a sword and a bow.

"This is..." Joel looked at the two things and vaguely guessed the role of these two boxes.

"You can take a look, just point it out with your fingers." Alps prompted patiently.

Joel reached out and clicked on the sword, and another box popped up next to it: the iron straight sword. Then there were a lot of numbers and some nouns that Joel didn't understand very well, such as attack power, damage correction, etc.

"The quality of equipment depends on these panels, but in this game, as long as the technology is in place, it can still make up for the gap in equipment." Alps explained, but Joel still couldn't understand. He just nodded politely and moved his finger to the lattice of the bow:

Guard Aru's Bow.

Aru Joel stayed there.

"I got this bow when I was doing a mission in Lengshi Town. But if my attributes are not suitable, I will give it to you. But I don't have arrows. You can take the opportunity to search some when I go to the battlefield later." After saying that, Alps reached out and clicked on the Libra in the middle of the two boxes, "Click this to confirm the transaction. I'm almost going to rush over, so those guys can't do without me."

Joel also reached out and clicked on the Libra icon.

Ding~The transaction is completed.

"Well, that's all. Just study it for a while and follow it. The auxiliary system of this game is quite excellent." After saying that, Alps turned around and ran towards the direction his teammate left before, which was the ruins of Lengxi Town where the sound of fighting came from. Before leaving, he did not forget to wave goodbye.

After Joel looked at the Alps and looked around him in confusion. The sword and bow did not appear. What was going on?

By the way, did that Alps mention a backpack before? Joel spread his hands and made sure he didn't have a backpack on his body. Was it that "magic"?

"Back, backpack." Joel tried to command, his eyes moved left and right, trying to find the so-called "backpack" that could appear at any time. Then a black box suddenly appeared in front of him, just like when trading, there were twenty-four squares inside, but at this moment there were two squares in it, which were the Iron Sword and the Guard Aru's Bow.

Joel reached out and clicked the iron sword. Suddenly he felt his waist sinking. A sword with a scabbard appeared on his belt at some point, as if he was there. Is this really magic?! Joel was shocked. Then he reached out and clicked the bow. This time the bow was directly held by him, as if he had held it from the beginning, without any abrupt feeling. There was also a leather quiver on his back at this moment, but it was empty and there was no arrow inside.

Joel stroked the longbow in his hand and pulled the bowstring. It was made of black iron wood. Most of the wood products used in the towns north of the Black Widow Castle in the Kingdom are made of black iron wood. This bow is not the most exquisite workmanship, but it is still very practical. The bowstring and bow body are well maintained. Since Lengxi Town and its nearby towns are relatively humid, iron products are prone to rust and wood products are prone to mold, so weapons like bows need to be carefully cared for. This is common sense in this kind of place.

And the workmanship... is not wrong. Joel touched the three grooves that had been polished on the arch tire that had been polished for countless times, and his expression was heavy. He touched his chest, then opened his clothes and looked at it. Then he felt his body become cold: there was a black wound there, which penetrated deep into the heart, but no blood flowed out. I had long been dead and was killed by the mercenaries from that principality.

Alu, if Joel remembers correctly, Alu is from Lengxi Town and is an apprentice of the blacksmith. He is a naughty boy who likes to leave three grooves on the things he has taken care of, because famous blacksmiths will leave their mark on his works. He has been beaten a lot for this matter, but he doesn't know whether it's anger or something, but he still leaves a mark every time. In the end, he was driven away by the blacksmith. This matter is over.

Is that boy in Lengshi Town now? So are other survivors of Lengxi Town also in Lengshi Town?

Then Joel took off the black rabbit-leather gloves in his right hand and looked at the ring on his ring finger. It was just an ordinary gold ring. Because he had been wearing it for many years, he had lost his luster. This was Joel's wedding ring. Then he put on the gloves again. I was dead, but I was alive again. The gods did this, and it must have its meaning. Alu, Hemi, wait for me.
