Wizard Immortal

Chapter 470 Searching

Standing on the high platform, listening to the messenger's words below, the players present were in an uproar.

"Requires both good looks and etiquette, what is this job?" Some players stared in disbelief at the messenger on the platform, unsure of what to say.

The requirements for body shape and appearance are fine, although they naturally filter out a group of people, there are still quite a few people who meet the requirements.

However, the requirements regarding knowledge and etiquette that follow are quite demanding.

Players are essentially visitors from another world. Although they can communicate freely with the natives of this world due to the world's consciousness, it does not mean that these players are capable of writing.

If it were text from the real world, these players would have no problem at all, but the local issues of this world are a huge challenge.

Let alone the Soon language, which is only spoken in Elka State, even the Karad language, which is the common language of the Karad Empire and therefore widely spoken, is something that these players can hardly recognize.

After all, provided there are no communication barriers, apart from a few people with special needs, most of these players will not spend a lot of time learning the local language.

As for the subsequent requirements for etiquette and knowledge, they are even more demanding, and are designed entirely to address the weaknesses of the player group.

Therefore, as soon as these requirements were stated, the players present fell silent. Apart from a few, the rest had already given up and stopped paying attention to this selection.

However, despite this, they still harbored curiosity.

After more than half a year of getting to know each other, these players deep in the city of Sisley have gained some understanding of Prince Sisso's actions.

The other party never does anything futile; they are unlikely to initiate a recruitment drive if they have no ulterior motive.

So what is the purpose of this high-profile recruitment?

The players present pondered this question intently, and then someone asked, "How long will this recruitment last?"

The player in charge of relaying the order glanced at the player who had spoken, his expression unchanged, and continued, "It will last for two months. After two months, this recruitment will be cancelled."

Immediately, the players below had a bright idea.

Two months isn't a long time, but if necessary, it's not impossible to find a player with some basic skills to train, even at a high cost.

Perhaps because social activities are not complicated, the language system in this world is not complicated, and the difficulty of learning it is not great compared to the various languages ​​in the real world.

Moreover, with systematic assistance, they are naturally able to read and understand the languages ​​of the world, and thus learning to write those languages ​​is not difficult.

With enough motivation, two months may be a short time, but it's not impossible to achieve.

"What's the reward this time?"

Having figured this out, one player immediately asked a question, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.

"Those who are chosen will have a personal audience with the lord and receive a baptism."

Under the intense gazes of the players present, the messenger cleared his throat and spoke amidst their expectant stares.

·······················

"The opportunity for baptism, what is that?"

As they walked down the corridor of the manor, Lera held a crimson longsword in her hand and looked at Slim beside her with some confusion.

"I'm not quite sure either." Slim shook his head slightly beside him. "However, judging from Prince Hisoka's usual style, anything he mentions must be something good."

"Just like the Seed of Knights that time," Lera said thoughtfully, then added, "But even with the benefits, given the conditions this time, there aren't many people who are qualified to be selected."

"Among our founding members, you, Slim, are the most promising."

He looked at Slim and said with some emotion.

Slim neither confirmed nor denied this.

As the vice president of the founding association, Slim must have a thorough understanding of the surrounding information in order to better formulate strategies.

He knew a great deal about things, such as the topography and history of Elka State, the rise and fall of the Soon royal family, and the rise of the Calad Empire.

Compared to the recruitment requirements, his only deficiency was his understanding of the local language.

However, he also has a significant advantage over ordinary players in this respect.

He had taken the Azure Potion and, due to his merits, was granted the Seed of a Knight. His physical stats in the game were far superior to those of ordinary players.

Driven by powerful game data, his thinking, reaction and memory have also been greatly enhanced, making him far superior to ordinary players in learning this sport.

This is also one of the charms of Genesis Games.

As the game progresses, more and more players are discovering that they can personally feel the changes in their game character's stats.

As game characters become stronger, their physical strength in the game will also increase significantly. As their physique improves, their stamina will also increase. As their intelligence increases, their thinking speed and memory will also see a significant boost.

This unique situation has already driven countless people crazy in the real world.

The feeling of becoming stronger can be addictive. Having experienced the terrifying power to tear apart tigers and leopards, the stark contrast with the frail body in the real world can be devastating.

Moreover, even disregarding this feeling, as the intelligence attribute of the game character gradually increases, the efficiency of learning in the game world is much faster than in the real world.

The only downside is that this change only works within the creation game; once you return to the real world, you'll immediately revert to your original form.

Thinking of this, Slim shook his head slightly, then opened his eyes, looked at Lera in front of him, and said, "I have a feeling that this selection and baptism is mostly related to the Soon royal family."

"I feel the same way." Lera nodded, not showing any surprise.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Adir's actions this time were far too obvious.

The requirements, such as speaking the Soang language and understanding the history of the Soang royal family, are specifically aimed at the Soang royal family.

Based on this information and considering Adir's recent actions, if Lera and Slim couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't be in their current positions.

"Speaking of which, the Empire should have reacted by now that the Marquisate of Soon has been annexed."

Walking down the deserted corridor, Slim said meaningfully.

"More or less." Lera narrowed his eyes and finally nodded.

Prince Hisoka is not an independent lord; at least on the surface, he is still a prince of the Calad Empire, the biological son of the current Calad King.

The Marquis of Soon is similar. As a long-established noble family, the Marquis of Soon was a subject of the Calad Empire for hundreds of years. During this period, although he became independent, he also married into many of the empire's noble families and had many allies within the empire.

In terms of the empire's geographical location, Marquis Soon was also a major force in suppressing the empire's east and protecting the province of Elka.

Now that Marquis Soon himself is dead and his territory has been annexed by Prince Sisso, it's hard to imagine what the Empire's attitude is.

However, neither Lera, Slim, nor any other player had any concerns about this.

As players, they are, in a sense, among the people in this world who have the most faith in Adir.

"It would be strange if a mighty ancient king were overthrown by a mortal empire."

Shaking his head, thinking about the latest information on Prince Hisoka, Slim sighed deeply, "Moreover, besides the Ancient Kings, this one is the Child of the World..."

"If you say that the Son of the World will fall here, then I simply don't believe it."

Beside him, listening to him say this, Lera smiled and then said, "We can wait and see about this matter. However, it seems that there has been some activity from Chim's side recently."

"What's going on?" Slim turned around and asked.

"I'm not sure, but it's said to be related to some kind of historical site." Lera shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

····················

"Is this the place?"

As Adir rode his horse through a mountain forest, looking at the messy grass and forest ahead.

Beside Adir, Lucius glared at Qimu with a displeased expression: "You said you had ancient ruins to report, and all you did was bring us to a desolate mountain?"

He looked at Qi Mu and the other players and questioned them, his expression quite unfriendly.

As the knight commander who escorted Prince Hisoka to the city of Sisley, Lucius rose to prominence after Prince Hisoka annexed the entire state of Elka. He became one of the most powerful people in Elka and was even granted a title by Adir, acquiring a large territory. This was arguably the peak of his life.

With Adir's annexation of Soon territory, Lucius was in high spirits and was thinking of making a big splash. However, he was then brought out by a message from Chimu. Adir had arranged for him to spend several months in this desolate mountain in order to find a possible ancient ruin.

That's one thing, but the search for relics turned into months of searching on a desolate mountain, expending a lot of manpower and resources, and still not finding a trace of them.

Therefore, during this period, his temper became increasingly irritable, and his gaze towards Qi Mu became increasingly hostile.

If Adir hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to contain his anger.

Beside him, looking at the surrounding scenery, Qi Mu frowned, somewhat puzzled: "It's clearly this area, why has it disappeared?"

The reason he came here was to take Adir to a ruin he had found before.

The piece of black flesh in Adir's hand was what he found in this ruin.

I originally thought this was a sure thing, and that I might even gain a lot from it.

But when they actually started searching, they discovered that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

The ruins were gone. No matter how hard they searched, the ruins were not in their original location. They even sent out a large army to search the surrounding area for months, but they couldn't find a single trace.

The traces of when we first entered seemed to have vanished. The location was exactly the same, but the things that were originally there had strangely disappeared.

This strange phenomenon immediately brought their search to a standstill.
