Chapter 411: trouble king
But before starting the research on the World Tree, there is one thing to be solved in this short journey.
Just like Fendo had a follower who fell in love and killed each other in the past, Lin also had a little follower behind him, that is the king of the Pyate Jaime Elven Kingdom──Zidan III.
Maybe it was because the previous speech was too presumptuous, and because at that time someone hadn't realized the fact that the sunny boy in front of him was the head of a country, so all kinds of speeches and bad ideas did not take into account the difference in status between the two parties.
Strictly speaking, someone's behavior is not uncommon in Lost Land. And this is also the main reason why Faye are not welcomed by nobles, and some people who think of themselves as noble and of noble blood.
However, the king who came to the throne too early, failed to make a few sincere friends, and seemed to be doing this instead.
Originally, according to someone's idea, the young king had a little interest in his aunt, Liena Titov. But now the elven sword dancer and Fern were flirting, and hadn't even bothered to hide the relationship. Under the circumstances of jealousy and fire, how could the adolescent boy not fall into the nest of inexplicable troubles.
The young king was not outraged or immersed in sadness and sentimentality, which can be regarded as a very good psychological quality and a good self-adjustment. According to someone's personality, even if he didn't take a knife to stab the adulterer's body, he would definitely hide from a distance, so that he can't see it.
Unexpectedly, this person actually changed his target and got involved with a certain time traveler who thought his sexual orientation was normal.
Could it be that the elves are good at this from the bottom of their bones? The opposite **** is only for carrying on the family line, and the same **** is true love.
If he is not a king, he must have seen it once and kicked it away once. Someone thought so in his heart.
But since there was no way to kick the opponent away, unless he wanted to tear himself apart from the more than 500 elf troops around him, Lin could only find other ways to divert the king's attention again.
From the conversation, it can be found that Xiao Ridan's focus is on some trivial matters in life, or some low-end adventure life, which is completely different from Jermaine's focus on the new knowledge from the earth.
It would be bad if you always talk about your own black history, and whenever you tell what you shouldn't. So of course someone must think of some way to satisfy the young king's thirst for knowledge by avoiding having to search his guts and think about things that he has almost forgotten.
If it is professional knowledge in magic, or methods such as governing the country and picking up girls, a certain person dare not speak big. But if it is purely to pass the time and shift the focus, the entertainment culture of the earth is so fascinating that people all over the world ride a dragon to catch up, and it is impossible to catch up.
As the saying goes, "When you are full and warm, you think about your body, but when you are hungry and cold, you steal your heart." ’ Midi is still at the latter stage. Under the condition that the vast majority of people can’t even meet their food and clothing, of course they can’t develop a thriving entertainment industry like the earth. Simply put, there are too few people who are full and idle.
And it is not difficult to find one that can satisfy the young elf king from the many entertainment projects on the earth, and that is something that someone can do at this stage. It would be too unrealistic to directly show a whole set of Marvel movies for people to watch. Play mahjong, poker, etc., which are only suitable for the elderly nobles who are full and waiting to die every day, but cannot satisfy the young people's thirst for adventure.
So to satisfy that adventurous heart, what could be more suitable than an RPG game. Midi also has a magical network with functions similar to computers, and it is not a big problem to write programs and make a game.
But even a small game is a big project, and it cannot be completed in a day or two. So Lin chose another easier path, TRPG, which is also quite popular on Earth. The preparation is relatively simple, all you need is a rule book, a few character cards, and a person who can tell a story. Of course, the most important thing is a dice.
Maybe I am not a die-hard fan of TRPG, but I have played enough RPG games, and I have read the relevant rules. Even if there is no way to completely reproduce ADD's rule book, I can still think about it myself, and make up a few percent in my brain to satisfy the king who is like a bird in a cage. It should be enough.
One or two days of rough preparation, although most of the time was spent on writing the rules, but the more troublesome thing was making the 'fair' twenty-sided dice. I don't want to make too many kinds of dice, and just making that twenty-sided dice by hand will make someone want to vomit blood.
Originally, I just found a piece of wood on the side of the road and carved it casually. The thing was completed quickly, and then I tried to roll the dice, and I always got three numbers, 2, 4, and 20. If other numbers were thrown, it must have bumped into a bump on the table to make it possible. This kind of dice, which can only be used for cheating, was directly thrown into the fire by someone and burned.
In the end, I took out a piece of magic metal, used the magic shaping technique, combined with my own three-dimensional design drawing production process, and precisely calculated the slight weightlessness after carving out the digital groove, and then adjusted the center of gravity of the metal, and modified it several times. Only then did I finally make a usable twenty-sided dice.
Everything was ready, and on a not-so-cool night, Ridan III finished his dinner and before he came to visit someone's tent, Lin asked two apprentices to invite a few people.
There can't be too many participants in TRPG, so in the first TRPG released by Midi, the sacrifice chosen by Lin... The participant is the young elf king-Zidan III; the future patriarch of the silver-bearded dwarves will make people feel that this race has no future. The hopeful Jermaine; the lich who came back to life after a thousand years—Fenni Tikal; and the adventurer who retired from active duty not long ago, the elf sword dancer—Leena Titov.
Because everyone except himself is an inexperienced novice, Lin found some time beforehand to create some level 1 characters that he thought were pretty good. Warrior template, thief template, magician template, druid template, archer template, one for each male and female, a total of ten initial characters, and make good character cards.
These character cards, including rule books, are all stored in the form of forum e-books. Moreover, the relevant probability calculation formulas have also been prepared with special calculators using the program to save calculation time. Of course, the formula is open and transparent, and the calculation results can be verified at any time. Because the main source of probability is not the random number table, but the actual twenty-sided dice.
After all, lost paper, ink, etc. are still luxury goods, so don't waste them if you can. And the forum series of magic that utilizes the power of the magic stone can be regarded as almost no consumption in terms of static and simple presentation. Someone just created a deformed product between TRPG and computer games. But so what, no one saw the original anyway.
So before everyone gathered, in the forest next to the bonfire, using a high-grade green-eyed magic stone as a carrier, they used 3D stereoscopic imaging to project a map with a very beautiful topography. When the invited people and the young king came one after another, a certain person closed his eyes and did not say a word, acting aggressive to the extreme.
"Teacher, everyone is here." Kaya reminded someone with closed eyes. This was confessed by Lin in advance, so as not to pretend to be too aggressive and get hacked. That lich will not be polite.
The real scene of the map in front of me, which is so detailed that you can see the treetops shaking, still attracts a group of people who have never seen it or don't see it often. Except for the Lich and his two apprentices, everyone else was attracted by this beautiful map. In addition, I don't know what medicine is sold in someone's gourd, and I am guessing wildly in my heart.
Opening his eyes and looking at everyone, Lin spoke in a solemn and deep voice, "Adventurers, welcome to my world, Faerun Continent. I am the host of this game, and I am also the host of this game." The gods of the mainland. And the selected few of you will participate in it and start an adventure."
"Oh, are you a god? Great?"
The smiling lich, and the sword dancer snuggling beside her, looked like they wanted to test someone. Someone hurriedly stopped them, and said in a normal tone: "Don't do it, this is just a role-playing game. You are not yourself, but these people." At the same time, someone showed the designed character card , "—You who participate in the game play these characters and start adventures in this fictional world. And I am mainly a storyteller."
Except Ridan III, everyone else is not interested in the so-called game. After all, among the entertainment that Midi can play, there are really few that are on the table. But they could also tell that it was prepared for the young king. So everyone, including Riena, made up their minds to join in once or twice, and then they would do their own things.
After roughly explaining the rules to everyone, this gratifying TRPG adventure is about to begin. The choice of characters is determined by the participants rolling dice after numbering the ten pre-made character cards. Anyway, everyone doesn't understand, so they can only let someone fiddle with it. As for whether he is satisfied with the character card he got, it doesn't matter.
The two apprentices each had a task, and since there was only one dice, Harumi held a silver plate and rolled the dice in front of those who needed it. And someone also emphasized the way of throwing dice, holding the dice in the hand, turning the palm over at a certain height, and letting the dice fall freely until it stops completely.
I want to emphasize this point because of those people present, it is really not difficult for them to do some tricks with their hands to make the dice fall to the desired side. So we must emphasize the use of fair methods.
And Kaya is responsible for recording the adventure stories of everyone. Although Lin, the DM, was the one who mainly calculated and judged, someone thought it would be interesting to record these things.
So Lin used that deep voice ~www.readwn.com~ to tell a story. An orphan who saw unexplainable visions in his dreams. All stories begin from Candlekeep...
Five minutes later, Jermaine slapped the rock he was sitting on first, and cursed: "What kind of dung game is this!"
Although I don't know when I said this term, let the silver-bearded dwarf hear it. But unlike other dumbfounded people, Lin held his head and asked the sky speechlessly. I wondered what exactly I was hosting just now.
There is a warehouse in front.
Go in and have a look.
There are mice, spiders.
Looks like it should be easy to deal with.
I'm on.
Then I GG...
