What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka: "It really is a machine gun tower? I have to hide for an hour?"

Sanita: "So, the caster still has to rely on the caster to deal with it. Watch out."

The man in black robes became increasingly anxious as he watched the annoying knight constantly dodging his fireballs. However, when he thought about the fact that the knight had no means of counterattack and that he would receive a priceless magical equipment after the battle, the heat in his heart was like the fireballs that kept being fired from his hands, sweeping away his uneasiness.

He has run out of ideas, what could be the problem?

Looking at the militiamen and adventurers who hid behind the bunkers and didn't dare to show their heads to help, he just thought they were ridiculous.

Humph, a bunch of ants.

If they had a little bit of sacrifice and dared to show up and shoot crossbows at me, I might have to interrupt the spell.

But in the face of magic and supernatural powers, he knew that these guys who were destined to be mediocre from birth could not muster even a trace of courage, and his noble aristocratic bloodline was destined to be superior to these commoners.

Wait, where did this yellow stain under my feet come from...

"Thunder Wave!"

A fan-shaped purple lightning struck from not far away. This was a spell released by Sani Iron Tower who sneaked around the battlefield.

The thunder itself was not very powerful and was completely absorbed by her magic shield, but the huge physical impact that followed made it difficult for him to maintain his body shape and he could not stop retreating.

But when he stepped back, the grease on his feet caused him to slip and fall to the ground.

Then, he saw a shadow falling from the sky and a giant sword that kept getting bigger in front of him.

"Xinei!"

The blade pierced his body, accompanied by a sharp pain, but he was not defeated yet. He raised his hand, ready to unleash one of his killer spells.

"Still want to resist? Take this! Supreme Slash!"

The holy light exploded inside him, blowing him into pieces.

His last thought before his death was:

This guy is actually a Paladin!

Chapter 10 Post-War Settlement

All the enemies had no intention of resisting after being caught up. They had lost their will to fight just by looking at him.

Rusalka wanted to shout "It's great", but her arms were indeed shaking slightly.

Looking at the fine iron shield in the distance that had been completely burned through and rendered useless, he realized the real difference between this world and the game world.

In the game, no matter how powerful the string of fireballs is, it will only cause damage in one round. In the next round, you can walk up to the opponent and give him a Holy Slash.

But in reality, he was suppressed by firepower and didn't even have the chance to get close to him.

The so-called construction has undergone great changes in strength under different environments.

"We really won! Am I dreaming?"

"Really? The Lord was like the reincarnation of the God of War. He chopped that extraordinary being into pieces with one blow!"

"Long live the lord!"

"My Lord is invincible!"

At this moment, everyone except him was cheering for their own survival.

"Distribute the spoils!" Sanita's shout made the cheers even more deafening.

Occasionally, there were a few people who were still vomiting and timid. After hearing Sanitieta's next sentence: "The lord takes 60%, the merchant takes 10%, and the rest of the spoils are distributed freely. Those who fight and grab will be disqualified. The time limit is 10 minutes, start!", they swallowed the vomit that had already reached their throats, held up their churning stomachs, rushed to the front of the car, and started stuffing these daily necessities that were not actually valuable when placed outside into their arms.

When his arms were full, a smile appeared on his face, and the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood seemed to become a little more pleasing to the eye.

Sanitieta patted Rusalka, who was still lost in thought, and said, "Brother, how do you feel now? Fighting, is it fun?"

Rusalka laughed and said, "Damn, you've completely ruined my mood. Honestly, watching them fight over these things, and this battlefield I created with my own hands, and feeling so completely unmoved, I, the MVP of the war, actually feel like going home. Isn't that strange?"

Sanita: "That's normal. I'd be scared if you didn't want to go home. Now we're going to settle the post-battle rewards. Be happy."

Rusalka smiled helplessly: "This isn't a game, there's no settlement process."

......

"Damn, there really is a settlement scene, brother." Rusalka looked at the open space in front of her small villa, which was filled with supplies and weapons, as well as some excellent horses. If the unsightly merchant who was rubbing his hands with flies, bending over with a smile on his face, was removed from the background texture, it would really be a very good settlement scene.

Sanita: "If I could exchange the wheat bread and cheese for gold coins, this wave would be a sure win, but unfortunately I can't."

Rusalka: "I can't finish this in my lifetime. You can lie down now."

Sanita rolled his eyes. "Look at your ambition! This is just half a year's worth of supplies for a dozen people. You only think it's a lot. In terms of value alone, the total amount is not even as high as a single crossbow made of pure fine steel. It's a pity that you chopped up the other two crossbows, leaving only this one, which is barely enough to use."

Rusalka rubbed her head awkwardly. "According to the setting of this fantasy world, shouldn't we just find a craftsman in the territory to fix this thing, and then we can use it?"

Sani Iron Tower sighed. "The Pearl Tear Territory is so destitute. What makes you think a blacksmith capable of crafting such imitation military weapons would choose to stay here? Is it powered by love? Even if this thing itself isn't top-notch, we don't deserve it."

Rusalka was a little bit incredulous: "This thing took away half of my health with one arrow, and it's not the best?"

Sani Iron Tower: "We're opening the card based on a novice. Even though you have two classes and are incredibly powerful, think about it calmly. Your current class level is only 3, and your so-called auras haven't even arrived yet. This thing can only hit half of your health, 20 hits, so let's call it 4d10. How can you call it a top-notch war weapon? I admit it's powerful as a cold weapon, but I'm afraid you haven't seen the Iron Giant Soldier."

"What the hell is that? You can't negate the God's Summon card?"

"No, you guys, have you played too much Yu-Gi-Oh? Didn't you click on the [Ancient Hidden Danger] when you opened the card?"

"Oh, yes."

"Then, similar ancient weapons against gods must exist. Giant God Soldier is just a term. By the way, what level do you think the gods of this world are? What level are you? The gods might just strike you down with a thunderbolt, and you would be gone immediately. Just be content." Sani Tieta spread his hands: "Besides, there are dragons in this world. The health of a dragon must be at least a thousand. In reality, although there is no health bar, its dragon scales must be so hard that it is almost immune to physical attacks.

This thing only has a damage of 20, and it doesn't have any effects like armor penetration or enchantment. How can it be used for military purposes? If it were used for military purposes, you would be seriously injured if you were hit by it.

Of course, I think the Great Knight wouldn't be hit by that thing. It takes too long to aim, and it's your fault for being distracted on the battlefield."

"After hearing what you said, I feel deeply worried about our future in this world."

Sanitieta comforted him, "Don't worry. With your character's initial card, honestly, as you grow, once external objects no longer have much impact on your combat, even a dragon of the same level might not be able to defeat you."

"I'll lend you some good words."

As the people and servants were busy transporting supplies, the fawning merchant Clown was sent away, and the battle finally came to a successful conclusion amidst laughter and joy.

----

The next morning, Rukasha jumped up from the big bed excitedly.

He pushed open the white-haired cat-eared maid who had been waiting by the door of the room for a long time. When she saw him wake up, she came over with clothes in her arms and was about to change his outer clothes. When she was about to rush to the guest room to share the information with Sanitita, she found that the private chat channel was connected.

Oh yes, their PL channel is not restricted by distance and communication, and is also part of the time-travel plug-in.

Sanitieta spoke before him: "I know what you want to say. Last night I dreamed that my character card was upgraded, and I had 5 more free points to distribute. I thought about it and converted all the points into experience points. Upgrading is the most important factor at the moment. No one can guarantee how strong the next enemy will be. I'm currently at level 4 with more than half the experience points. What about you?"

Rusalka: “Huh?”

Sanita: "Why do you look so surprised? Is it because your cards are so strong that you need more experience points to level up than I do? Didn't you level up in yesterday's game?"

Rusalka: "I'm the MVP, so of course I leveled up. I upgraded my Paladin to level 3, and added free attribute points to my experience bar."

Sanitta: "It seems you, a ragtag man, have some sense. I thought you would use the precious 5 points you only have now to level up to trade for some rubbish talent that will make you run faster than a horse, or buy a Phantom Step ability that can only be used once a day."

Rusalka: "Uh... I bought that one too."

Sanita: “?”

Rusalka: "To be honest, in addition to my 5 free attribute points, I was also given 20 restricted attribute points, which I can only use to purchase some general extra abilities that are not restricted to any class. Not only did I spend 10 points on Phantom Step, which can only be used once a day, I also spent 10 points on learning Shield (a first-level spell that actually creates a magical barrier with no attributes that can absorb a certain amount of damage)."

Sanitita: "I already know that you are DM's biological son, but what I want to ask is, you spent 10 points on a ring shield spell?! Do you deserve to be called a bully?"

Rusalka: "As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Now I have learned the shield spell that the Paladin and Warlock classes don't have. It's not that I can only use it once a day. Do you understand?"

Sanita: "But a shield spell can only last for one round, which is only 6 seconds here."

Rusalka: "The village rule is to be realistic for 10 seconds."

Sanitta: "How many times do you think you'll need to use this little life-saving skill that only lasts 10 seconds in a battle?"

Rusalka: "To be honest, after yesterday's battle, I realized that what I thought was overpowered and overpowered in reality are actually two different things. Just like you said, on paper, playing the game doesn't take into account the casting posture, language, and material requirements, but in reality, they do. That's the difference.

I was scared by the fireball machine gun tower yesterday. I was thinking at the time, if I had a shield, this little time would be enough for me to walk up to him, and then imitate Dio, laugh at him for 5 seconds, and finally give him the last second..."

Sanitieta quickly replied, "Counterattack."

Rusalka: "Climb, climb, climb. Bad luck. Think about it carefully. Under this rule, the shield spell only requires language to be cast, and it's instantaneous. In other words, as long as I can open my mouth to speak, I can use the shield spell to offset his machine gun turret.

"But he needs ten minutes to prepare, and even has to be a motionless target while casting, and it's a second-level spell. If we compare them, think about it, whose spell is more cost-effective? If you had 10 points, which one would you learn?"

Sanitta was stunned by what Rusalka said. He felt that what he said made sense, but he also felt that he had lost a lot of points.

Although he himself is indeed a hardcore group-playing player, proficient in various types of groups, knows the rules by heart, and is familiar with the values ​​and cost-effectiveness of resource allocation, he does not have the experience of "what if it becomes a reality."

Who, in a serious group, would consider practicality? Players who are too nitpicky, or even overly picky, are definitely not welcome. Can't a magic warrior dual-wield weapons when using action-based spells? Would you argue with the group's DM over such a detail? How could you possibly do that?

There will definitely not be such a requirement in the game, but in reality, if there really is a dual-cultivation profession, and at the same time a huge weapon is held in both hands, then the specific action conditions required for casting the spell will definitely not be met, and this limitation will make the magic that requires action requirements in real life greatly reduce its cost-effectiveness.

Sanitita thought about it and decided to persuade Rusalka not to dwell on studying magic systems. Wouldn't it be better to use the resources to build some underworld structures? "Yes, but your theory is useless to the natives. The custom professions in this world have no ring position restrictions. They have their own unique magic storage system. For them, the upper limit of spell strength depends only on their casting level, which is the level according to the game data. There will be no situation where there is still magic power but cannot cast the strongest spell.

If you use magic against them, you'll definitely be at a disadvantage. You should check the rulebook to see if there's a system that's just for us."

Rusalka: "What you said is indeed their advantage. I actually thought about this issue of uneven magic power before counting last night. I found that DM is actually fair. They have such a tricky system and custom magic that is far stronger than the standard spellbook, but they all have a fatal flaw, that is, the huge pre-swing or post-swing.

We can completely use the instantaneous advantage to offset the power disadvantage."

Sanitta: "You're right. That's why the so-called mages they talk about will be equipped with at least two knights or one great knight as personal guards. Before the battle, most of them will find a favorable position or cast concealment spells on themselves in advance to buy them enough time to cast spells.

If you want to kill a wizard, before thinking about how to fight against the spell, you might as well think about how to quickly knock down the guards. Just walk up to him and punch him in the face twice. That way it will be simpler and more efficient.

By the way, I recently saw this piece of knowledge in your library."

Rushaka was still stubborn. "But the mage I fought last time didn't have one. I just suffered from my lack of experience. If I were to fight him again, I'd switch to a mage and it would be a simple battle of spells between us. I definitely wouldn't lose."

Sanita was stunned for a moment before retorting, "Perhaps he's being too arrogant. He doesn't know I'm also a spellcaster. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so carelessly farmed the Machine Gunner. Instead, he'd choose the Destruction Shroom, which is stealthier, more powerful, has a longer build-up, costs more, and is more likely to kill with one strike. You can't always use exceptions as examples."

Rusalka: "But I still think it's good to have more skills. What if they come in handy?"

Sanitieta was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think of the Pirate Warrior deck in Hearthstone?"

Rusalka: "It's fun, I play, I play like crazy, I'm the best in the world!"

Sanita: "So what do you think of the pirate war, in order to prevent civil war, choosing to bring the pirate killer crab?"

Rusalka angrily said, "Those who pollute the honor of a warrior are nothing but cowards! Despicable and shameless! They have no aggro purity at all, and do they deserve any points?"

Sanita: "How do you evaluate someone who chooses to build a Holy Warrior and Evil Magic to defend against mages and then add themselves to the Mage build?"

Rusalka thought about it and felt relieved: "Master, I understand."

Chapter 11 Noble Negotiations

After this encounter, no follow-up supplies were delivered for a full half month. Sani Tieta then confirmed one thing: the other party probably had some way to quickly know the result after the battle, so they did not give a batch of supplies for free before the news was spread by the villagers.

Rusalka: On the first day, war weariness was high. Alas, I took so many lives so lightly. How could I have become such a cruel person?

The next day, I calmed down and thought, okay, maybe I should move on.

On the third day, I started to get excited. I hadn't opened Tata for a few days. Could it be that I was getting used to it?

On the fourth day, I couldn't help but want to try out new magic. Just shooting at targets is boring. Can I try some confrontation?

On the fifth day, I started chasing Sanitta and asking him where there was a fight. Let me fight, just one fight, brother, please.

Rusalka was currently sitting in the office with nothing to do. She suppressed the urge to reach out and touch the ears of Phoenix, who was standing obediently beside her. When she came in to ask about her outing date this month, she replied with a "you arrange it yourself" and waved her hand to send her away with a puzzled look on her face.

If she continued to stand there, I might really be unable to resist touching her ears and tail.

Going out days refers to the two consecutive days of vacation each month that the servants in the castle have to go home. For ordinary servants, the arrangement of this vacation is often allocated by the head maid/butler/captain of the guard.

The head servant's vacation is scheduled for four days, and which four days they are needs to be arranged by the lord himself. This is why Phoenix looks for Rusalka to confirm which days of the month he will have vacation.

The lord's castle of Pearl Tears Territory is relatively small, just a three-story villa with a total area of ​​about 2,000 square meters, so they hired a team of 10 maids to be responsible for cleaning, and several servants to be responsible for cooking and carrying. Including two coachmen, there are less than 20 people in total.

There was no need to hire a housekeeper to manage the less than ten male servants; Phoenix took care of everything.

As for the guards, there were originally some, but they all died after the previous one took office, so Phoenix is ​​currently second only to the first person in the family, and everyone listens to her.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders and servants, Sanitta was just a bard who acted as an envoy, and was considered a "guest official of the lord". This identity was not included in the status list of the lord's mansion.

Although Rusalka's answer surprised her a bit, it wasn't an order she couldn't understand, so she nodded and left.

After she closed the door, Rusalka opened a private chat and asked Sanitieta, "What's going on? Why hasn't my experience pack arrived yet? I'm so arrogant, shouldn't they send the Four Heavenly Kings to assassinate me?"

Sanitta was reading in the library at the moment: "I don't see how you are arrogant."
