Four-Armed Divine Emperor
Page 119
"It was so serious that I couldn't move, but now, the three of us are standing here intact, even our clothes are clean."
Lyon stood up from the ground and tiptoed to look around. He looked at those old-fashioned houses and villages that were from somewhere unknown but did not look like modern buildings. He was sure that the three of them should be on a remote country farm somewhere.
"Do you remember there was a place like this around Raccoon City?"
He asked, pulling out a map from his pocket.
The three of them checked themselves after waking up. Leon had a map, a flashlight, a pistol, and three magazines of ammunition on him, which was the same as when he arrived at the gas station and discovered something unusual and first encountered zombies.
Marvin was carrying a walkie-talkie, a flashlight, a gun, a lighter, cigarettes and a few pieces of chocolate.
Ben was the only one of the three who did not have a weapon. He had his press card, the pass, a USB flash drive with recorded information, half a pack of cigarettes, and a miniature camera hidden on his body that had not been taken away during the search.
The three of them were now natural allies standing together in this unknown place, and therefore shared each other's resources.
Marvin took the map and looked at it carefully, then looked around from time to time. The shock left by Leon's words still continued in his heart. He couldn't concentrate on the map at all, but he still subconsciously did something that seemed useful. This was his professional instinct.
However, the reporter Ben, who seemed a little dazed and crazy because of the fear of "dead but not dead" and Leon's words, suddenly spoke up and stopped the two people's useless efforts.
"Don't look at that thing!"
Ben yelled.
Ma Wen glanced at the reporter. He knew that this person was a prisoner. Even if he knew there was another hidden secret, he couldn't help but scrutinize him. What's more, the other party's performance did not seem like that of a qualified teammate.
"Why?" Leon was very curious why Ben suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Look up at the sky. This isn't our world anymore. Didn't you notice... there are three suns in the sky?"
Chapter 46: Wanderer?
The reporter's words startled the other two briefly, and then they quickly looked up at the sky.
Above the clear sky, there were three balls of light, one large and two small.
The brightest one is "directly above" them. In addition, there are two luminous bodies that are suspected to be "suns" in two opposite directions. The light emitted by the three together constitutes the "daytime" of this world.
But in either case, this is definitely not the scenario that would occur on Earth.
The three of them fell into an unspeakable silence.
Lyon was the first to recover from the shock brought by the three suns. He looked at the frightened Ben and the shocked Marvin, lowered his head, grabbed a handful of soil mixed with weeds and some sticky, feces-like stuff from the ground, and observed it in detail.
I can't see anything wrong.
Look at the poultry in the livestock pen who are walking and pecking at the ground without paying any attention to the three humans who suddenly appeared. At least in appearance, there is no difference between them and the chickens on Earth?
"where is this?"
"Where...are we?" Leon couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then suddenly thought of something and said, "Al? Al! Where are you?"
When you decide to use "revealing the truth" and showing them the "reality of the world" as payment... repentance, atonement, anyway, that's probably what it means.
Not only did Al tell them about the world of Resident Evil 2, he also informed everyone in Resident Evil 2 of some of his own guesses and some fantasy works he had read, such as information about the main god space, the multiverse, and time travelers.
Looking back now, his behavior at that time was very risky and irrational. Maybe it was because he ejaculated too much and his brain was blanked.
Because many fantasy works of this kind have hidden "main god space"
Chapter 366
"This existence, once revealed, will be wiped out. Although most of them fall under the category of "anything is allowed unless prohibited by law", they all serve as advance warnings to the traversers not to reveal it, otherwise they will be wiped out. However, Ai'er's simple system template didn't even provide the task conditions. Except for a wave of additional abilities updated due to his reincarnation process, there had been no interaction with him. However, this act of rashly revealing the truth still carried certain risks. After all, he didn't know that space was just a "fragment". What if his plug-in had such a rule, and he missed the most critical part - warning Ai'er in advance? Ai'er was wiped out by his own golden finger after revealing it without knowing it. Who could he tell?
Leon hadn't paid much attention to this part before. After all, the fact that the world they lived in was virtual and they were characters in a play that followed the plot and would continue to reincarnate was shocking enough. He hadn't even fully absorbed the impact of this "truth".
But the current situation made Lyon pay attention to the other key information that Al had previously revealed.
Before leaving, Al promised them that if he had the ability and opportunity, he would come back to take them out of the constraints of this world and find the truth. Leon didn't know where the three of them appeared in this place or what the situation was, but he guessed that it must be related to Al, so he subconsciously wanted to find Al, but he didn't find the familiar boy, and the voice attracted other people.
A woman who looked like a farmer appeared at the gate of the fence carrying a pitchfork. The three of them looked in surprise at three strange men in strange clothes standing in their livestock pen.
"There's a homeless person!"
She immediately shouted loudly.
Leon immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he didn't understand the language the woman spoke, he could tell from her posture and the wariness on her face that she obviously didn't think they had good intentions.
The language barrier made the problem even more difficult for him.
Language barriers are definitely one of the biggest problems in interpersonal communication. Putting aside the three suns in the sky, judging from the surrounding environment and the peasant woman's dress, they should be in a place similar to a rural village. Such areas are generally closed and conservative, and at the same time... it also means that they may be more xenophobic.
If they are not careful, they may be mistaken for thieves or stowaways and may be beaten up and thrown into the dungeon.
Sheriff Marvin also realized this, but his mind had not yet recovered from yesterday's disaster. Seeing the farmer's woman holding a weapon, looking nervous, and shouting at them in words they couldn't understand, he subconsciously raised his gun.
"Wait! Marvin, don't do this! She's just a civilian, a civilian!"
Civilians from another world are also civilians. At least before they actively attack him, Leon does not want to have disputes with the locals.
Marvin also realized this. After all, his recent memory was still stuck on the Raccoon City Police Department where the virus broke out and was full of crises and infected zombies. It was normal for him to be a little stressed now.
The three men now faced two choices. One was to escape over the fence before the farmer's wife could call in more locals, thus avoiding any contact with them. The other was to risk staying and wait for more locals to arrive before making a decision. The advantage was that they could immediately interact with the locals. The disadvantage was that, without a language barrier and without having appeared here unexpectedly, the locals would likely be less friendly towards them. Furthermore, the language barrier might make effective communication difficult...
"What should I do? Run or stay?"
Lyon whispered to the two people and asked for their opinions. He had observed the surrounding situation. This livestock fence was not at the edge of the village. Moreover, even if it was, they had just arrived and knew nothing about the surrounding situation. Not only was the probability of running away low, but if they were caught by the locals while escaping, the misunderstanding would be even deeper.
He expressed his concerns truthfully, leaning towards the latter. Ben nodded. Marvin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Leon's idea. So the three of them decided to do nothing for the time being and wait to make contact with the locals.
Although they couldn't communicate verbally, some body movements could still roughly convey the meaning of the words. Lyon raised his hands, spread his palms forward and shook them gently to show that the three of them had no ill intentions.
The peasant woman still held the pitchfork tightly and was wary of the three uninvited guests.
The empire has been in turmoil in recent years. I heard that Emperor Iskhanfa and the princes are making trouble again.
The Satraps established their own independent regimes one after another. The fighting outside was very fierce. The princes and warlords attacked and seized cities and territories, resulting in a large number of defeated soldiers and refugees in various places. They scattered in all directions, or hid in the deep mountains and old forests to build strongholds for self-protection, or took advantage of the chaos to gather in one place and plunder the surrounding areas...
This makes many places, especially relatively conservative and self-contained villages and towns, less welcoming to outsiders during turbulent times.
Because the arrival of refugees not only means that their homes are likely not far from danger, but also these homeless refugees are also a factor of regional instability.
Chapter 47: The Forgotten Gold Finger
Lyon and the other two were quickly surrounded by villagers who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Because the three people appeared in a strange way and were dressed in strange clothes, people could not figure out their origins. Therefore, the two sides temporarily entered a confrontation stage and did not resort to force to resolve the situation right away.
Because of the language barrier, Leon can only communicate with the locals through body movements, and in the eyes of the villagers, these three people who don't know where they came from are not familiar with the local culture.
Chapter 367
It is hard to imagine that the guy who appeared out of nowhere, dressed strangely and did not look like an Alan, did not know the "common language".
You should know that after the White Tower won the war to overthrow the Witch King, in order to establish a widespread extraordinary order, the white-robed wizards recruited disciples and spent several years compiling a new "common language", which they then promoted vigorously. The earliest function of the floating city was to release the super-giant "Enlightenment of Wisdom" spell node.
The White Tower monopolized the spellcasting resources. To learn magic or get close to "supernatural beings", one naturally had to know the common language. So from top to bottom, from bottom to top, because it was indeed profound and extensive, combining the strengths of various schools, the beauty of the Elvish language, the rigor of the Dwarven language, the rich vocabulary and diverse expressions of the Eastern Empire language... Within a hundred years, the influence of the common language spread throughout the world, and only in the Eastern Continent, because compared to the independent Tartarus, the local language still had certain reservations.
In today's Tartarus, even if an inferior Indian caste came to the prosperous Apennines, a foreign land thousands of miles away, he could still communicate normally with the locals.
For regions that are far apart, the only language problem may be that the common language is influenced by some local slang, and there are some special words, idioms, and proverbs that people from other places don’t understand very well, but there will be no problem in normal communication.
So the idea of not knowing the common language seems like a fairy tale to these villagers.
They couldn't figure out the identities of the three people, but from this point of view, it was a good thing for the three ancestors, Leon, Marvin and Ben.
Because the unknown means mysterious, unpredictable, dangerous, powerful...
Although the three people's behavior does not yet show the elements that meet the requirements of "powerful", at least if they had the above elements, they would not be confused and be mistaken for spies of bandits and gangsters by the villagers and stabbed to death with pitchforks.
If Al had not been without any clothes and had four arms growing out of his ribs, and had not looked like a normal person, or even a "human" from the outside, Ansuna, who led the team, would not have thought of killing him right away.
If there's a stranger with traceable traces and strange behavior, if you can catch him, you should arrest him and question him first—it depends on the situation whether you need to "interrogate" him. But for this kind of sudden appearance, it's like...
Just like a wizard's teleportation spell, when a stranger appears next to you without anyone noticing or even leaving any trace, the locals generally will not hesitate to give him/her a warm welcome.
Because in the past there were many cases of floating cities or wizards somewhere having experiments or spells go wrong, and ending up in deep mountains and forests or in the wilderness without knowing what was going on.
He may also be a noble person among ordinary people, who encounters danger and uses teleportation spells to save his life and land in a nearby town.
Generally speaking, as long as they can explain their origins, travelers and wanderers will easily be warmly received in the resource-rich continent of Tartarus.
In remote and conservative villages and towns where people have enough food and drink, it is extremely rare to rob travelers and guests. Locals are happy to entertain travelers from far away places with rich food and listen to their stories from afar. This is also a way for local people to acquire knowledge.
Besides, no one knows whether these passersby are civilians with nothing, or are just tourists with magical marks and accessories on their bodies, who died somewhere and whose families and forces will come to search and investigate.
This is a situation where the risk and income are extremely disproportionate.
There are also many mages and apprentices who have just entered the door of learning who like to travel around. They are too popular in big cities, but in small places they are also worshipped and respected as "holy masters" by the villagers.
In the Alan Empire, generally speaking, if a case of malicious murder of a traveler or theft of property occurs in a village, then everyone in the village may be demoted to a "term slave". As the name suggests, they are "fixed-term slaves" who are driven by others for a certain period of time.
Lyon originally thought that the language barrier was the biggest problem, but in fact it saved them.
If they knew the common language, and started talking about a bunch of terms like "America", "police", "call the police", "time travel", etc., the villagers who were unable to understand would probably treat them as nonsense refugees or lunatics, tie them up and throw them into the cellar, and wait for the village elders to decide whether to report them or deal with them privately.
It is equivalent to three people suddenly appearing in a village in Seris. They look a little strange, their clothes don't look like those of the locals. Most importantly, they can't speak the local dialect, let alone Mandarin, and they speak in a gibberish language. Obviously, everyone will guess that they are "foreigners" rather than "robbers and bandits."
Lyon trio.
The Il world is a similar alien world that can be "connected" to the El Source world, and the same is true for Resident Evil. The races of the three worlds are basically the same, at least in appearance, they all have two ears, one mouth, two eyes and one nose; Leon and reporter Ben, American white men, look slightly different from Alan's Zoroastrians (Persians), and Uncle Marvin, who is black, looks like a race from the southern Saharan continent, and they are not locals.
Therefore, the villagers really guessed that they were "unexpected visitors" who had suddenly arrived here from a distant place due to the teleportation spell, so after the initial communication and confirmation that both sides had no hostility, the atmosphere became harmonious.
The villagers gathered around the three of them and walked to the village's meeting place, which was also the market. Generally speaking, daily transactions would be conducted here. Sometimes, important decisions that affected everyone, such as village relocation, additional military service and taxation, would also be made here.
Chapter 368
The announcement is made by the village elders and headmen.
The village elders have received the news and are waiting here.
As soon as the three people showed up, the most "knowledgeable" elder in this unknown little village tried to communicate with them, while also observing their words and expressions to see if the three people were lying or deceiving.
In the end, nothing was accomplished but after confirming that at least there was no malicious intent, the village elder instructed his family to prepare a banquet to welcome outsiders in the center of the village. At the same time, he avoided the three people and quietly ordered some smart and swift men in the village to go out and investigate if there were any signs of human and horse activities.
As the head of the village, he had to follow the traditional "hospitality ceremony" to welcome harmless outsiders and provide them with food and lodging. On the other hand, he had to be wary that the three people were spies hiding deeper and the outsiders were bandits trying to rob.
On the other side, El, who was remotely monitored by Sylvain and watched "Lyon and his three friends' journey to another world" like watching a movie, did not expect that even though he had an additional debuff of language barrier, the three friends of Lyon were still warmly received. He was almost killed by Ansuna and felt a little amused.
It was when he saw the peasant woman in Lyon that he suddenly remembered:
He forgot to implant the Common Language in the three of them.
However, after thinking about it, he realized that the three of them had no special skills in this world except for basic physical strength (except Ben), so he was already considering whether to give Leon and the others some buffs.
Is this a "belated golden finger" for them?
Chapter 48: Acceleration
Meanwhile, the Leon trio were inexplicably dragged into the magical world of Il, a world completely different from Earth's biochemical plane. They were dropped off by the mastermind behind the scenes, El, in a somewhat remote village, yet thus shielded from the turmoil of the new round of the Alan Empire Chicken Eating Competition. El had designated them as his third observation target for his own amusement.
Li Sanguang's Journey to Another World
The Invincible Sanguang and His Two Leg Pendants
As for the second observation target, it is of course the perspective of [Traveler Ai'er]. The first perspective and attention are currently still focused on the native land of the Ai'er world.
Although theoretically, once the Wall Breaker's talent is activated, as long as the coordinate information of a complete world is captured, Ai'er will have the possibility of opening a branch base and changing homes, but as Ai'er is the original world he is conquering, he cannot be too lax before he overthrows the order of the White Tower, eliminates the threat of the Ancient King, and completely establishes the absolute rule of the Four-Armed Clan in the entire Ai'er world.
Even though the spread of Father Honoring Cult could only be said to have accelerated the integration and infiltration of the elite and powerful classes of the Alan Empire without Ai’er’s intervention, in fact, even if Ai’er did not perform a “miracle” and allowed his descendants to expand and develop their power through blood-giving, they could still achieve the result of subverting and replacing the Zoroastrian Empire at a fairly fast speed.
In less than three years, his descendants exerted their strength from both inside and outside, and ultimately, at a speed that was beyond the comprehension of the world, they quickly overthrew the Fifth Empire in the history of the Zoroastrian civilization:
"Azad Dynasty".
Even though Ajiu and his subsequent successors, the King of Kings, were "incompetent rulers" like his father and brothers, and ruined the country together, this empire, which was conservatively estimated to have a lifespan of over a hundred years, had to change dynasties in such a "hasty" way.
Generally speaking, a traditional country should also have:
The king is incompetent, factional strife, border troubles, uprisings, an empty treasury, and a year of disaster...
It is possible that a country will perish due to invasion, uprising, or internal coup after multiple factors have occurred.
In the extraordinary world, the success rate and possibility of peasant uprisings were reduced to the lowest level. After all, no one wanted to rebel unless they were on the verge of starvation. At that point, even a peasant army of 100,000 could not defeat a group of 10,000 people assisted by 100 mages.
Generally speaking, rebellions called "uprisings" are just excuses for local governors and warlords to rebel.
As spellcasters are the decisive force, the White Tower intends to support the stability of the mortal regime in order to continuously supply talents and resources to the floating city. Of course, don't make it "too stable". Just like those powerful empires and kingdoms that have completed centralized power, the wise and capable monarchs will naturally turn their sights and ambitions to the sky after solving the affairs of the mortal world. This is not good for the floating city, because even if they are not worried that the secular monarchy will be able to challenge the authority of the White Tower by various means such as stealing skills and exploiting loopholes to mass-produce royal mages, but frequently punishing those secular countries that cross the line will also leave a subtle impression on the secular regime.
They generally tend to support a country's "stability".
When distributing and recommending spellcaster resources, a pyramid model is naturally adopted. The royal family and the central government will receive the largest portion, followed by major factions, local governments, provinces...
