Me and my fantasy world

"How's the preparation going?"

"Everything has been arranged, President."

"Where are all the first-rank people in the town?"

"Everyone is here, except..."

"Luo Xian again? Never mind. Just let him be. He will know what to do when the time comes."

The president and a female secretary talked in the corridor all the way to the outside of the guild. Although there were many adventurers of all kinds gathered here, there was also a large platform built in front of the guild entrance.

It was very high, and looked like at least one floor, three or four meters high, like a platform. After the president came out of the guild, he walked all the way to the platform and looked at the groups of adventurers in front of him, who were discussing questions about the mission, and their voices were a little noisy.

The president cleared his throat familiarly, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Ahem...Quiet!"

All the sounds at the scene stopped abruptly. Even the sounds in the houses around the square could be heard. Even the snoring during the nap became much quieter.

When Lingyi saw the guild leader for the first time, he whispered in Leo's ear, "Who is he?"

"The president of the Nord Town Guild is the highest-ranking person in all of Nord Town." I don't know if Lingyi's voice was not that soft or Li Si had good ears, but Lingyi leaned close to Leo's ear and whispered the question, but was heard by Li Si who was standing next to him.

"Guild president? What's his rank?" Lingyi asked again in confusion.

"Yes, don't you know that the president is the strongest man in all of Nord Town? Apart from the Lord of Nord Town who can suppress him with his power, and Andressa's Capital Guild, no one else can be better than our president except these two forces." Ah Xiang introduced the guild president.

"Oh, I see..." Lingyi listened, but was still a little confused. Yan Wuchang and Xue Nu had never mentioned the concept of level, so he came to Leo's ear again and asked, "Hey Leo, what the hell is level? Is it very strong?"

Lingyi's words were still heard by Li Si and A Xiang, but they shook their heads slightly with some disgust and continued to look at the president on the platform.

"No way, Ling...Xueyan, have you forgotten everything?" Leo said, and then whispered to Lingyi again, "Didn't you open the levels when you took the assessment test before? Did you forget about Level 1?"

"I remember it, but... I don't know much about the rest." Lingyi replied with an awkward smile.

"Ah? Which aspects?" Leo asked Lingyi curiously.

"For example, what's everyone's average level now? Or is the guild master they just mentioned, level 30 peak, very strong?" Lingyi smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Of course, don't you know this?" Leo said, whispering in Lingyi's ear in an unusually low voice, as if he was afraid that Li Si and Ah Xiang would hear him. "Here, the average level of an adult adventurer is only between level 3 and 5. If you are above level 3, you can apply to join the Nord Knights or Guards. If you are above level 5, you can apply to be a team leader."

"Is that so?" Lingyi widened his eyes in surprise, and thought again about the small team of knights when he met Xiaojiu. No wonder that person was so proud to say a level that sounded very low. It turned out that it was the trend of the environment. However, in reality, it seemed that level 5 was not that strong when fighting.

"Look at the guys here. They all have ferocious faces, but actually they are not even level 2. There are many of them. Our team is considered to be of a very high level. Sister Tal and Sister Fei'er are at the peak of level 5, A Xiang and A Wang are at level 7, and the most powerful brother Li Si is at level . Do you know what level is?" Leo's voice was roaring, and it sounded like he was worshipping.

"First level? What's that?" This was the first time Lingyi heard this word in this world. If he had heard this word in the past world, he would definitely think of it as a term from another game, but this was the first time he heard this unfamiliar word in this world.

"It's the level. Every ten levels you reach a bottleneck period. Only after you break through can you continue to practice. Otherwise, you will be stuck at the bottleneck of level 10 forever and cannot break through. The level is the proof of the breakthrough." Leo introduced to Lingyi softly, "When an adventurer reaches level 10, he can break through the level, but the level breakthrough is too difficult. Basically, you have to reach the peak of level 10 to break through successfully."

“You have to practice from the threshold of level 10 to the peak of level 10 before you can break through?” Lingyi’s tone did not sound very surprised. On the contrary, in his opinion, if level 10 is a bottleneck, if you practice to the peak of level 11 before breaking through, then what is the difference between this and steadily practicing to level ? Isn’t that level a process of going from the threshold to the peak before entering a higher level threshold?

“Don’t make it sound so easy.” Leo seemed to have heard Lingyi’s doubts. “I was just giving an analogy, and it was a successful example. I think I had good talent. Most ordinary adventurers will always be stuck at level 10, and it’s hard to break through.”

"Is that so?" Lingyi said, and this time his eyes looked at Li Si with a different expression.

"By the way, what level is Xiaoyi now?" Alice came over to ask, "The first person to unlock the level has practiced for five years, so he should have improved a lot."

"I'm not too sure. I've been practicing with Uncle Yan and Aunt Xue, but they never told me about this. Do you know where I can get it tested?" Lingyi asked curiously.

"The old place, right at our Trial Stone, during the awakening ceremony." Leo said, pointing to the tall black pillars at the other end of the square.

"Okay, we still have some time in the afternoon, so we can go and take a look." Lingyi planned the afternoon itinerary in detail.

But Li Si's expression changed a little, and he looked at the platform intently: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

……

"Everyone is here, so let's start the meeting."

On the platform, the president, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again in a loud voice.

"Perhaps you are not very clear about one thing, but you have heard a little bit about it. It is that the knight teams that were sent to the forest to explore the forest late at night, five teams plus one exploration team, a total of 30 knights, none of them returned. In addition, an unprecedented magical fluctuation was triggered late at night. That night was as bright as day. Do you know?"

The president's voice was loud and clear, covering the entire square area. Lingyi saw the huge emerald green circular magic circle above the town, but now it had shrunk and appeared to be only the size of a square. Perhaps it was because of this magic circle that amplified the president's voice, allowing all adventurers to hear it anywhere in the square.

When the president mentioned the thirty knights, Zero One clenched his fists in fear and stared at the president on the platform. A cold aura emanated from Zero One, but Leo and Alice did not notice it, or rather, no one present noticed it. Only Li Si, who was closer, noticed the coldness from Zero One.

His gaze gradually changed from disdain to curiosity: "This guy seems interesting." Li Si thought silently in his mind, looking at Lingyi with interest.

And Long Er's voice echoed in Lingyi's mind: "Xiaoyi, is he talking about the village of Aya..."

"Maybe. He said that night was as bright as day. It should be the moment when we used the Red Lotus." Lingyi also responded to Long Er in his mind.

'Are we exposed?'

"Don't worry. Looking at the situation, the people around me are not looking at me. Maybe we are not exposed."

Lingyi had just finished comforting Long Er when Alice beside him entangled his arm and said, "No way, shouldn't a team of 30 people have a squadron leader?"

"Well, in the knight team, the squadron leader is also first-level, at the level of 10. It was indeed that night..." Leo looked at the president on the platform with hatred in his eyes and his fists clenched, as if waiting for the president to tell the results of the investigation.

Seeing Leo's hateful expression, Lingyi felt a little complicated. Could it be that in Leo's eyes, those knights were very upright people? Just scumbags?

The president looked around again and continued, "That is why our town lord has recently controlled, blocked, and searched pedestrians entering and leaving the town, fearing that something might sneak in. Now we have accurate information to share with you all."

As he spoke, the president stretched out his left hand, revealing a bracelet. The crystal clear appearance was exactly the same as the one worn by Lingyi.

Zero One looked at the bracelet while staring at the president fiercely. There was no doubt that it was also made by Zero One. It was a magic storage bracelet. Zero One's plan at that time was to distribute it to all the villagers. After the Nameless Village was looted, the bracelet also disappeared along with other utensils. It seemed that it had gone to Nord Town.

The president tapped the bracelet lightly, and a document appeared in the bracelet and fell into the president's hand. However, the document had been dyed bright red, unevenly spread on the paper, and looked a bit like blood. "This is the news that our team that went out this morning brought back at the risk of their lives. Two teams scouted the area around the town and returned safely. Three teams went deep into the forest, but only one person returned."

"Three teams?" Zero One said in confusion. Indeed, when Zero One arrived at the vicinity of Nord Town, there were indeed two teams of knights around Nord, but they should have come to investigate the chaos caused by the battle between himself and Sheila. And it was just mentioned that there were two teams investigating the periphery. Could it be that there were three more teams in other locations that bypassed Zero One's sight?

The moment the president handed over the paper, a female clerk came up with a box. The president covered the box with the document and then pressed the switch on the box. A light appeared on the top of the box, which shone through the document on the box and projected into the sky. Then a screen unfolded and appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone gasped when seeing this scene. The paper originally in the president's hand was now enlarged into a huge piece of paper about five meters high and seven meters long.

Only Lingyi looked at the box and murmured thoughtfully: "Projector..."

There was a map drawn on the paper. Judging from the markings on it, it looked like a forest south of Nord Town. The location of the Nameless Village could not be seen on this map. Zero One calculated based on the rough scale map and concluded that the Nameless Village should be outside the area on this map, so it was not marked.

But it marked Aya's village, and geographically speaking, Aya's village was closer to Nord Town than Wuming Village. The reason why Lingyi took several days to arrive was mainly because he had been playing and laughing in the forest with Xiaojiu and Long'er for a long time, and walked and stopped before arriving at Nord Town.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that, just south of Nordtown, deep in the dense forest, there is a huge red cross sign that is particularly conspicuous. Even if this map is soaked in bright red, it cannot cover up the conspicuous red cross icon.

The president looked at the projection in front of him and told everyone in a deep voice: "This is a mark brought back by a survivor of the Knights, and that survivor eventually died."

Upon hearing the news, there was a commotion in the audience, but more people gasped.

The president raised his voice again to maintain order: "Quiet!"

After the president finished speaking, the entire square gradually calmed down and continued to listen to the president's speech.

"We learned a shocking news from the survivor..." the president said, looking at everyone solemnly, "Everyone, what we are about to face is not a monster, but a catastrophe, an unprecedented disaster in the history of Nord Town. A group of goblin troops have gathered around Nord Town and are approaching us."

"What!" There was another commotion in the audience, and the sound was much louder than before.

Leo and Alice were a little confused and looked back at Zero One, who also looked at the president with a dull gaze, finding it hard to believe this fact. Zero One's head also poked out from the scarf hidden around his neck. Although it was still hidden in the hair, his eyes were full of horror. Li Si and his teammates all gasped.

Seeing everyone so flustered, Alice also became scared. She tugged at Lingyi's sleeve and asked, "Xiaoyi, what is the Goblin Army?"

"Yes, it's written in your uncle Yan's casting record." Leo also asked curiously, "Alice and I have also received commissions to subjugate goblins. Aren't goblins easy to subjugate?"

Lingyi shook his head slightly: "The Goblin Army and the Goblins are not the same creatures."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Alice looked at Zero One in confusion. "Goblins are so weak, so isn't the army he formed even weaker?"

"If it's just goblins, one or two won't be a problem, but if there are more than three, it will be troublesome." Lingyi explained, "Goblins are creatures with extremely weak combat capabilities individually, so it's basically not difficult to defeat them, but if there are more than three, a leader goblin will appear, who will have a certain degree of intelligence and will recruit other goblins to strengthen his organization."

"As a result of the growing strength, a group of goblins with nearly a hundred people will be born, among which there will be a goblin chief. This cycle will continue to grow, from a village chief of a hundred people, to a group chief of a thousand people, to a tribal chief of ten thousand people, and so on, until there is an army of tens of thousands of goblins, and the Goblin King is born."

"Tens of thousands..." Leo took a breath when he heard Lingyi's words.

Lingyi shook his head again. "Not only that, all goblins are soldiers, so their numbers can even equal half of a country. In addition, the general individual combat capabilities of goblins will be greatly improved. They will have intelligence similar to that of humans, and can ambush, set traps, use tools, tame horses, and so on..."

"How could this be? Isn't that like going to war with a certain country?" Leo exclaimed.

Lingyi nodded at this time: "That's right. And maybe they are fighting with a group of monsters. Because goblins are different from humans. They are monsters. In addition to taming human horses, they can also tame other monsters and make them their tools to fight together..."

"Taming monsters to fight? Is that true?" Tal also heard Lingyi's introduction and exclaimed in surprise.

Li Si nodded slightly in surprise: "Brother Xue knows a lot about Warcraft. I have been an adventurer for many years and have dealt with Warcraft, but I have never heard of this news. It seems that the threat of the goblin army is much greater than we imagined."

"Who cares how many there are? We'll just beat them all!" Ah Xiang shouted indignantly, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

The president shouted again at the first moment and stopped the riot again: "Quiet! Now is the critical moment for the survival of Nord Town. Only if we hold on, Nord Town will have hope. Now I will tell you about the deployment of the battle..."

Before the president finished speaking, an unusually loud sound came from the distant city wall. The sound was a bit like a bell, and the frequency was very fast.

The president looked at the distance in confusion, and he knew that the door from which the sound came was the south gate of Nord Town. The president took out a black box from his bracelet. The black box was exactly the size of a palm, much smaller than a lighter, and had an antenna. The president quickly pulled out the antenna and asked the black box.

"South Gate, South Gate, what's going on?"

Lingyi looked at the black box, and a cold light flashed in his eyes again: "Intercom..."

"Ah! Is that the guild master? Something big has happened. The goblin army has rushed out of the forest and started attacking the city wall." A man's roar came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Okay, okay. I'll lead all the adventurers to provide support right away. How's the deployment on your side?" the president asked into the intercom.

"It has been arranged according to the town owner's request." A roar came from the intercom again.

"Okay, okay, we'll go and provide support right away." The president said, putting down the intercom, and yelled to everyone again: "Dear brothers of Nordtown, the crisis of Nordtown's survival has arrived. Nordtown has launched an A-level emergency commission task to all players in the guild: Defend Nordtown."

"At the same time, as long as you prove to the guild that you have killed a goblin and hand in the goblin's spoils, you will receive additional rewards. The original exchange rate for one goblin's spoils is 5 miscellaneous coins, which will be increased to one goblin's spoils for 50 miscellaneous coins!"

"rush!"
