2. Another world
The Miracle Continent is the continent where this world is located. It has dozens of kingdoms and empires divided into them. No one can imagine the vastness of the continent, let alone countless islands and undiscovered areas around this continent.
On the Miracle Continent, the closer the area to the north, the more gentle the climate will become, the air is not dry, but the humidity is not high, so it can be regarded as the most comfortable living environment. The Kingdom of Serian is located in such a northern region, so it can naturally be regarded as a rich and prosperous kingdom. However, no matter how rich and prosperous a country is, there will always be some areas that lag behind in the development of a kingdom, which can even be said to have dragged the development of a kingdom. Although the reason is likely to be related to the local lords, most people will not think so.
This is a small village located in Serian Kingdom, Serian.
The size of this village is not large, with only about 30 households in the entire village. However, because the village does not have special products exports, not to mention merchants, even travelers will not come to this place. Therefore, the flow of people here can be almost zero, and usually a few people pass by a year. Although the village is not prosperous, it is at least not barren. Relying on hunting and farming for two seasons a year, the villagers live a pretty good life.
However, since a few months ago, a dead black warrior who came from unknown to the point of occupying an old ruin outside the village, the people in the village became in panic all day long. Because from that time on, people in the village began to disappear, and later it even grew to the point where it became as late as nightfall, every household was locked in the door and did not dare to come out, because there were actually walking corpses in the village.
Since the village's economy is not very good, we naturally cannot invite people from the mercenary group to come and help. After hearing the words of black warriors and zombies, those small-scale mercenary groups did not dare to take on this task. As for reporting to the lord, the village chief sent people there, but after so long, the lord's army came to encircle and suppress, which made the people in the village feel a sense of despair of being abandoned.
This ruin was once a noble mansion. At that time, the surrounding environment around the village was quite good, but with some man-made development and destruction, the beauty around the village no longer existed, and later this mansion was naturally abandoned. Later, perhaps because of severe weathering or other reasons, the mansion collapsed and became a ruin.
At this moment, nearly fifty villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, looking at the ruins in the distance with anticipation.
The ruins are not too far away from the village. You can still see the outline of the ruins when standing at the entrance of the village.
"Missing Chief, are those two children... really okay?"
"It should...no problem." The old man who was called the village chief was hunched over, and his face was a little uncertain. "That person had warned us before this monster appeared, so... so he would definitely have a solution."
However, no one, after entering the ruins that are no different from hell in the eyes of villagers, no news has been heard for five or six hours, they will definitely not think it is a good thing. It’s just that it is the only person who is willing to help them in recent months, so although it has been so long, everyone still gathered here spontaneously and maintained their expectations and hopes.
Just as the villagers began to look disappointed on their faces, two figures finally appeared on the horizon.
Most of the villagers began to rub their eyes. When they were sure that they were two of them who had said they wanted to help him solve the trouble before and ran to the ruins, all the villagers cheered, and then they rushed towards the two figures like a tide.
These two figures are naturally Sean and Cecilia.
Cecilia was wearing a black and white Gothic long skirt, holding a golden classic about thirty centimeters thick and thirty centimeters in her arms. Her delicate facial features were a little expressionless at this moment, but she looked at Sean beside her with a little more resentment, and she muttered from time to time: "Liar!"
Sean smiled bitterly, rubbed Cecilia's head, and then said, "I told you a long time ago not to run out casually. Wait until I tricked it to you and then use fireball to deal with it. As a result, you don't listen and have to make it so embarrassed. How can you blame me for this kind of thing?"
"fraud!"
Sean was helpless.
In fact, the tactics of entering the ruins against the black warriors were still relatively smooth at the beginning.
There were only about ten zombies in the entire ruins. With the cooperation of Sean's swordsmanship and Cecilia's spells, these were very easy to solve. Of course, the process was not very beautiful. After all, for Cecilia, an evil monster like a zombie was indeed a bit ugly and scary. However, after all, after meeting the black warrior, it turned into a mess.
Originally, according to Sean's plan, he was responsible for attracting the hatred of the black warrior, and then leading the black warrior to Cecilia's vicinity, and then Cecilia's fireball technique solved it. For this reason, Sean even stayed in the ruins for several hours. But what Sean could not expect was that Cecilia was actually shocked by a rat, and then was discovered by the black warrior. Then she hid and ran away in a series of embarrassing ways, because the black warrior had entered the violent stage at that time. Even if Sean had experience in dealing with the black warrior, he did not dare to provoke at this time, and could only end the violent time of the black warrior.
Of course, if it were just like this, Cecilia would not scold Sean, but Sean had told her that the task was very easy, and she could easily handle it as long as she threw a few fireballs. But in fact, Cecilia was almost slashed by the black warrior. When she was frightened by such a positive attitude, Cecilia certainly would not give Sean a good look, but considering that she was just a twelve or three-year-old girl, Sean really couldn't say anything.
"It's true that's different from the game." Sean looked at Cecilia, who was still angry, and he murmured, "There are still too many unexpected factors. This is just a level ten copy..."
"What are you muttering again!" Cecilia looked at Sean. Although there was still not much expression on her face, she was not as angry as before. "I always talk so much that the villagers came here."
"Nothing." Sean shook his head, he looked at the villagers who were cheering and running over. There was a little more smile on his originally serious face. Although he looked quite embarrassed at the moment, his confident and calm temperament could easily make people feel like he was finding a backbone. "Yes, this is no longer a game, but a real world!"
As if to strengthen some belief, Sean raised the head of the black warrior in his hand in front of all the villagers.
Suddenly, the cheers of the villagers became even louder.
Just like a hero who returned home in triumphantly, Sean and Cecilia were welcomed back to the village with great enthusiasm by the villagers, which made Cecilia, who was not very good at socializing with others, feel a little distressed, but at this time Sean will care about her. And after returning to the village, there was a grand dinner like a celebration. Fish food even appeared at the dinner. You should know that the village is not close to the seaside, and the main food is also carnivorous and vegetables. Fish food is generally only possible during major festivals. The most rare thing is that the fish creatures at the dinner are very fresh, which makes Sean very clear that the enthusiasm and welcome of these villagers are real and there is no falsehood.
After the dinner, the villagers even sorted out a clean house for Shaun and Cecilia for them to live in. With this difficult enthusiasm, Shaun had no choice but to stay in the village for one more day.
...
The north wind in the middle of the night was not as cold as imagined. Sean stood at the window on the second floor of the house, looking out the view.
After a while, Sean finally left the window. He turned around and looked at Cecilia who was sleeping on the bed. Judging from the expression on his face, it can be seen that the little girl was sleeping very sweetly. Looking at Cecilia who was sleeping soundly, Sean also smiled rarely: "A year has passed..."
There is a strong feeling in the words.
In fact, Sean does not belong to the person in this world, he comes from a place called Earth.
However, even he himself could not explain why he appeared in this world. The memory that stayed in the last scene of his arrival in this world was that he led the elite group of the guild to open up a copy of the hundred people that was claimed to be the most difficult in the game. The memory afterwards was that he had inexplicably woke up in a suburb. He was penniless and had to face the pursuit of several local dogs. If there weren't a hunter nearby, he would have become the Chinese food for those local dogs.
What happened next was that Sean sorted out his thoughts and took survival as the most urgent goal. As for why he could adapt to the pace and habits of the world so quickly, he even had an understanding of many things that surprised ordinary people. This is entirely due to the virtual online game "Miracle" that Sean played on Earth when he was on Earth - because this world is exactly the same world as "Miracle"!
As Sean learned this, he began to discover the secret hidden in himself: although he was only one level when he came to this world, and he did not bring any luxury equipment and amazing wealth before, his skill panel was brought by him as he traveled through time. There were many skills on it, which were powerful skills collected by Sean for a lot of time and energy.
Although these skills were not available at the beginning, after discovering that this world was exactly the same as the game "Miracle", Sean quickly knew what he should do. However, even if he knew what to do, when he really started to implement these plans, he realized how difficult it was: because this is already a real world, unlike a game, and often he can not care much about various situations.
On the Miracle Continent, Sean not only faces various threats of death, but also has to work hard to make money in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, and even find ways to improve his level. In addition, there are various real problems that bother him, such as the problem of injury and the distance on the road - an hour's journey in the game may become more than a month in the real world, and even because this is a real world, there will naturally be no so-called blood strips and blue strips. Once you break your hands and feet, you will be really disabled for life, and once you die, you will inevitably be a real death.
But even so, Sean still did not give up because he knew very well the difference between himself and others: being more proficient - he was just like a player in the game, and every level improvement could gain a little proficiency.
This is what Sean values most.
On Sean's skill list, so far, only three skills have been activated.
[Sprint: Run six meters quickly forward. Assist/first level/normal, level 2/3, proficiency level 1/4.]
[Continuous Slash: Perform three consecutive attacks. Swordsman/First Level/Normal/Sword, Level 2/5, Proficiency 2/4.]
[Blade grabbing: The sum of strength, endurance, and agility is greater than the sum of the three goals, and the opponent's weapons will be successfully captured. Auxiliary/First level/Special/Empty hand, Level 1.]
It took Sean nearly a year to finally get to level 10. He was only ten skilled, but naturally he didn't dare to use it randomly.
Because in the later stage, players will definitely not have only a few skills, and the activation of skills must consume a proficiency point. In addition, the activation of special skills requires more proficiency points, not to mention that proficiency points can also be used to improve personal attributes or improve life professional skills. Therefore, the use of each proficiency point must be carefully considered.
Generally, the activation of skills requires one skill point, while the skill like "Blade Snatching" is a special skill of the first level, and only when activated, it requires two skill points. As for skills like "continuous killing" and "sprinting", there are some restrictions at the beginning of the first level. Only with the level increase will the power or other effects be gradually increased: for example, "continuous killing" can only attack twice in a row at level one, and only three times in a second level are allowed.
Although the improvement of proficiency does not seem to be high, it only takes three proficiency to upgrade the continuous cut to level three, but in fact, each proficiency improvement requires one month of persistence, and you must maintain more than twelve hours of exercise every day.
Now the two skills of continuous slash and sprint are in the second level, because Sean's efforts over the past six months - if he doesn't want to waste his proficiency, only this persistent training can bring about improvement in results. After all, many higher-level skills require these low-level skills as pre-level skills to be strengthened and improved.
However, even so, Sean used four proficiency points to activate these three skills. In addition, in order to successfully seize the weapon from the black warrior, Sean also consumed three proficiency points to allocate them to personal attributes. Therefore, in fact, Sean has only three proficiency points left on him and has not been allocated.
But Sean doesn't regret it.
As the former leader of the elite group in the guild, Sean has his own set of strong logic in dealing with things.
【Charles' sword, micro-demonization (bronze), hardness 12, sharpness 12, puncture 10, strength +3, endurance +1】
[Item Description: This is the sword given to General Charles by Elder III, king of the Kingdom of Cerrion, on the eve of the outbreak of the North Cold Battle. This sword followed General Charles's life and was once regarded as a symbol of honor for General Charles' family. However, later, because General Charles' family had internal struggles due to inheritance rights, the sword lost its whereabouts. Now, although you have been lucky enough to obtain this sword, the magic power on it has been lost too much and it has long since disappeared.]
This sword is the fundamental reason why Sean will solve the Black Warrior. Otherwise, as a level ten copy that was only for novice players to practice and cooperate in the game without any difficulty, how could Sean be interested or even spend a lot of time and energy on it?
As a signed professional player, Sean has been struggling in "Miracle" for seven years and has a good understanding of many things in the game. Although many of them are not particularly clear, if you touch the scene, you can still awaken those sleeping memories. For example, Sean remembers that it has a follow-up mission, but this sword will only fall when you kill the black warrior for the first time. In the game, Sean missed the sword, but at least this time he would not.
However, from this action, Sean discovered a problem: that is, these dungeons can not be repeated like the game, and any dungeon only has one chance to pass the level. In addition, the dungeon also has a birth time, such as the dungeon, which was originally called "Wandering Dark" in the game, appeared four months ago. Sean once came to this village once five months ago in order to obtain this sword, but the dungeon had not appeared that time. This is why the village chief immediately contacted Sean after the villagers discovered that the lord had not sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy.
However, after five months of change, when Sean came here again, he was no longer alone.
Thinking of this, Sean walked to Cecilia and covered her with the quilt kicked off by Cecilia. Although Cecilia always showed a mature and sometimes spoke extremely viciously, in fact, this little girl was only thirteen years old after all, and she still longed for the loved side in her heart. From the moment she decided to take Cecilia with her, Sean decided to raise this little guy well.
And Sean was excited when he thought that he might be able to cultivate a super magical genius.
Because no one can know Cecilia's personal attributes better than Sean!
