Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Marfa continent, noon.

A massive figure loomed in the sky, slowly revealing itself as a heavy, ancient bronze gate. A stirring melody seemed to emanate. Could this be the sound of nature? The gate slowly opened from within, emitting a dazzling, brilliant light. Slowly, the light converged, finally forming two beams that projected towards the Marfa continent.

One of the beams of light shone onto the Ginkgo Village Square, revealing a series of figures that instantly solidified. Across the square, shirtless men and women in pink bras appeared. They glanced around, clearly new to Marfa and curious about their surroundings.

The alien warriors are coming!

"Come in, come in."

"Damn! I've been waiting all afternoon, and it's finally 5 o'clock. The new area is finally open."

"Someone actually came in earlier than me."

"Ginkgo Village, wow, it's pretty, and there are so many people~"

"Oh my god, there's so much gear on the ground over there! Damn, who dropped it? Wasn't it agreed that the zone would open at 5pm? How could someone come in and kill monsters so early?"

"Idiot, that was obviously dropped by the guards when they killed monsters. Stop talking, let's go pick it up!"

......

The square was getting more and more crowded, and it was bustling with activity. Some people were talking to themselves, some were staring blankly at the surroundings, some smart ones had already run to Guli to pick up things, and some came to talk to the village chief. From a distance, one could seem to hear the village chief say, "Marfa Continent needs you, my warrior~", but it was difficult to hear clearly because there were too many people, but it was obvious that some task had been triggered.

Some people have already run out of the village. Even though they have no equipment on them, they are still fearlessly rushing towards the monsters in the wilderness. Others have done the opposite, running into the village and slaughtering the chickens and sika deer raised by the villagers!

"Let's go kill chickens and deer first, dig out the meat and sell it for money, then buy potions and equipment..."

"Team up and level up, there's team up++++"

"Brother, please move aside, I can't get out." Someone in the crowd shouted

"I can't move either. Everyone outside please move aside." The person in front responded

"If anyone outside doesn't leave, I'll chop them down~" a bald man shouted.

"Idiot, the square is a safe zone, you can't kill them."

......

Soon, the entire square was crowded with people, but more and more people came, and the place became chaotic.

Brook was standing next to Guli at this time, looking at him in amazement. This is the warrior from another world~ Just now it was a tide of beasts, this time it’s a tide of people?

Brook didn't understand what the otherworldly warriors said about the zone opening. But when they said 5 p.m., he understood. As Master had said, the time calculation method for the otherworldly warriors was different from that of Marfa. So, let's start counting from 5 p.m.

The alien warriors were all shirtless when they first arrived. After speaking with the village chief, many of them donned cloth robes and picked up wooden swords, apparently given by the village chief. Where did the village chief get all those cloth robes and wooden swords? With so many people, how big must his backpack be? He just gave me a backpack with 96 space and said it was the only one. Clearly, he has a bigger one himself.

Just now, after the monsters in the village were eliminated and before the arrival of the alien warrior, the village chief notified all villagers, especially the weapon shops, clothing stores, jewelry stores, pharmacies and other shops, asking everyone to resume normal business. The alien warrior has arrived, and they must open their doors to welcome customers.

Brook picked up the equipment that dropped from the ground after Guli killed the monster. Even when his 96-slot backpack was full, there were still some left on the ground, and he couldn't pick them all up.

Then a vision appeared in the sky, and warriors from other worlds were summoned.

The first time Brooke saw the alien warriors, he just stood silently beside Gulley, observing them quietly and watching their performance.

The beast tide had just arrived, and the wilderness outside the village was teeming with monsters. The crowd in the square had already surged out into the wilderness. They were brave and fearless, unfazed by life and death, and capable of resurrection. They believed that given enough time, they could wipe out the monsters. Ginkgo Village was safe, and Marfa Continent was saved.

Brook watched and thought to himself.

"Oh no! Xiaohua is in danger!" Brook suddenly realized that his pet Piranha Plant could also be attacked by the alien warriors. He subconsciously ran a few steps towards Xiaohua, but then stopped.

Xiaohua was still some distance away, and the alien warriors wouldn't be there for a while. He could still think of a way to stop her. Should he stay by Xiaohua's side, explaining to the alien warriors that she was his pet, and persuade them not to kill her? Would they believe him?

"Hey, man, the weapon in your hand is different from ours. It's an ebony sword!" As Brook ran a few steps, he was finally noticed. The man saw that the weapon in Brook's hand was thick and long, and when he recognized it as an ebony sword, he shouted in surprise.

"Ebony sword? Where is it?" Several people around were attracted.

"That's awesome! The Ebony Sword dropped right after the zone opened. What kind of monster dropped it?"

"Damn! This guy is wearing all the best stuff? Rings, bracelets, necklaces, clothes, weapons, wipe, wipe, wipe!"

"Boss, shall we form a team?"

"Handsome guy, take me with you~"

Brook was still thinking about Xiaohua. Suddenly, he felt that the alien warriors were surrounding him, so he wanted to greet them first and ask them not to beat his pet.

"Hello, warriors! I..." Brooke politely greeted everyone and was about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt a slight pain in his back. Had he been attacked? He turned around to check and was hit again, falling back.

There was a guy named Baldy behind me, swinging a short, thin wooden sword at himself. His name had turned gray.

"I cut the wrong person. I'm not a monster." Brook quickly ran away a few steps. Was there some misunderstanding?

"Let's kill him together!" The bald man chased and continued to chop, shouting to the crowd. Two more people ran out of the crowd and surrounded Brook together.

Damn! Brook was a little angry and attacked the bald man. He was level 8 at the time, with 45 HP. After being attacked twice, he still had 40 HP.

Situ Haoyun had said that one needed to be on guard against warriors from other worlds. He hadn't forgotten that. But he hadn't expected that he needed to be on guard against someone who was just standing there doing nothing.

How could these people be so evil? And we still expect to persuade them not to attack Xiaohua?

Brook wielded his ebony sword, striking back three times in a row, all of them hitting. "Ahhh!" "I'm Bald" screamed, and died instantly. "I'm Bald" struck Brook again, but he still had plenty of health left, so he was safe for the time being. At this point, these people were probably only level 3 or 1. Even the highest-hit warrior had only 2 HP, no way could they withstand Brook's 24-4 attacks.

The other two, one called "I Have an Umbrella" and the other called "Don't Worry About the Rain", had already run to Brook and attacked him, 2 against 1.

Xia Yu Bu Chou attacked Brook first, and Brook immediately counterattacked. After a few exchanges of blows, due to the significant difference in equipment stats, Xia Yu Bu Chou was killed after four strikes. Brook was also hit twice, with 4 HP remaining. The funny thing was that the last person, who called out "I Have an Umbrella," initially hit Brook with his wooden sword several times but missed. Instead, Brook turned around and attacked first, but only struck him twice, and I Have an Umbrella was flat on my back.

Brook had 32 HP left. He had originally wanted to use Healing to restore his HP, but suddenly a change of heart prevented him from using it. Instead, he drank a bottle of Primary Golden Wound Medicine to replenish his HP.

"Kid, if you have the guts, don't leave!" I, the bald man lying dead on the ground, suddenly said.

Holy shit, a dead body can talk? Brooke looked at the ground in disbelief: "What did you just say?!"

"Don't leave, wait for me to come over~" I said to the bald man, and the corpse disappeared.

He actually spoke! This is even more amazing than a zombie! This is incredible! He knew that the alien warriors could be resurrected infinitely, but he didn't expect that even with 0 health points, dead and lying on the ground, he could still speak. A knife stabbed in the butt, today was really an eye-opener.

The other people around did not join in, but instead avoided it, obviously for fear of accidental injury. They stood far away and watched Brook and the others fight.

"Xiaobu, don't turn around and look at me. Don't let them know we know each other, or they'll guess you're from Marfa." Guli, who was standing beside him, covered his mouth and said softly to Brooke, "I'm telling you, you just committed murder! Look at your name, it's turned yellow now."

Brooke narrowed his eyes. Then, calmly observing, he realized he had indeed been blacklisted. What was going on?

"This is a rule set up to protect the alien warriors. If you actively attack, your name will turn gray, and if you actively kill someone, you will commit a crime. Yellow is just a warning. If you actively kill again, your name will turn red and you will be a wanted criminal. All Marfa guards have the obligation to kill those red-named warriors." Gu Li said quickly, "Be careful, don't actively attack those alien warriors again. I can't help you kill alien warriors unless they are red-named."

Committed murder? When did I ever attack? It was all self-defense. Oh, was that me with the umbrella just now? Although he attacked Brooke first, his accuracy was too low and he never hit him, so it wasn't considered an active attack. Instead, Brooke was considered guilty.

Brooke was furious. "There's a loophole in this rule! Can we get feedback from the officials at Beach?"

"Gray, yellow, and red, it's a bit messy. I'm on yellow now, what should I do?" Brook deliberately didn't look at Gu Li, turned to the other side, lowered his head to look at his toes, and asked softly.

"Simply put, killing gray-named and red-named people is considered self-defense. Your yellow name will disappear after a while, at most an hour." Guli still answered.

An hour later, Brook felt relieved. After some thought, he decided to conceal his identity as a Marfa native and his strength as much as possible during his interactions with the alien warriors. Perhaps this would save his life in a crucial moment.

"Uncle Gu, if I really become a red name, will you kill me too?" Brook asked again.

"...According to the rules, I must attack all Red Named individuals. After a Red Named alien warrior dies, they will resurrect and appear in the Red Name Village in Mengzhong." Gu Li thought for a moment, "So, if you really are Red Named, don't get close to me. If you walk into my attack range, I can pretend not to see you, but not for long, otherwise it would be considered partiality and fraud."

"Mengzhong, Hongming Village..." Brooke remembered Mengzhong from Situ Haoyun's map, where there was a Hongming Village. Mengzhong was located northeast of Biqi City, separated by a serpent valley, making it quite remote. Mengzhong Province also had many primary demon beasts, slightly stronger than those in Biqi, but also suitable for the advancement of early cultivators.

"You just said that the alien warrior Red Name will appear in the Red Name Village of Mengzhong after his death. Why?" Brook asked.

"Once you become a Red Name, your main city is automatically designated as Red Name Village. After death, you will be resurrected in the most recent main city you were in, so Red Names will appear in Red Name Village. This is actually a form of exile, because the Red Name Village holds wanted criminals, there are constant fights, and supplies are scarce. If you go there, you can only fend for yourself." Guli explained.

"Main city...If I become a red-named person, my main city will also become a red-named village. Then can I use the dungeon teleportation scroll to teleport to the area where the red-named village is located, that is, Mengzhong Province!?" Using the dungeon teleportation scroll, you can teleport to the map area where the main city is located.

"...Yes, Xiaobu, you are right, but the teleportation scroll is only dropped by a few monsters." Guli was stunned at first, then confirmed Brook's inference, but the prerequisite is that there must be a teleportation scroll.
