Heart of Empire Chapter 1: The Death of the Traveler
"When I found out that I had traveled through time, I thought I must be the protagonist."
"Especially when I knew that I was still traveling with the private server version of the strategy game "Dynasty Heart", I became more determined."
"The next thing to do is to find a good-for-nothing, seize the house and revive the soul. Then, it is to continue to counterattack, slap the face, and reach the pinnacle of life. It is written like this in novels."
"But now, I find that the novels are all lies, because I'm going to die."
"Which traverser protagonist have you ever seen, who would fail in the capture of the house, and then lose his soul? That's right, it's me."
……
Dane woke up from his dream, those annoying voices finally disappeared. He has been sick all afternoon. The shaman in the town said that he was haunted by evil spirits, and he only needed a simple dispelling technique and then slept for an afternoon to solve the problem.
Sure enough, what the shaman said was right. After receiving the treatment of the dispel technique, he only lay on the bed for two hours, and he felt that he had completely recovered.
"Thanks for your patronage, the cost of this treatment is three hundred and seventy gold coins." Half-orc Sa, with a skinny face and all kinds of messy bones, teeth and furs, makes people unclear about their purpose and origin. Man, showing his irregular yellow teeth, smiled and said to Dane.
Dane's scalp was numb, he sat up from the dirty bed, his naked upper body was extremely strong. But despite his strong body, he was still terrified by the cost of treatment. I just heard him say: "Three hundred and seventy gold coins? Damn old Borg, you should just go and rob it!"
The old shaman named Borg said: "I'm not as professional as your horror mercenary group in robbing. Hurry up and pay the money. You must know that dispel is a second-level magic spell, and the materials for casting it are very expensive." .”
Cursing, Dane still had to take out three hundred and seventy gold coins from the clothes next to him to give him. There is no way, as a mercenary who has to lick blood at the knife edge all the year round—or a robber, this old shaman is the only shaman in Rotten Wolf Town, so he cannot be offended.
Dane Ghost Sword is a mercenary, to be precise, he is the second boss of the mercenary. The horror ghost mercenary group's reputation in Rotten Wolf Town is not small. As the second in command of the horror ghost group, Dane has also earned a well-known nickname of "Ghost Swordsman". Therefore, his life has been relatively nourishing, especially in Schindler, a chaotic country composed of half-orc settlements and human warlords, with his daring and daring style, he can get along like a fish in water.
In this chaotic place, there is always blood dripping. Orcs, orcs, humans, merchants, mercenaries, pirates, all kinds of forces are mixed on this loess. As a mercenary group, the horrors have no worries about business. Moreover, the horrors are a large team of more than 200 people, and few people dare to provoke them in this place. Even the mayor of Rotten Wolf Town, the potbellied human businessman Barber, had to restrain his greedy face when he saw Dane.
It's just that Dane has been a little unlucky recently.
As a berserker, he has the style of daring to kill and fight, as well as the powerful strength that comes from the orc blood of his grandfather or grandmother. Relying on the scars all over his body and the countless heads chopped off by his saber, he got the title of ghost knife and secured his position as the second in command of the mercenary group.
However, you have to know that in this world, for the leader of any group, there is one thing that is very dreadful: the superiority of merit.
The head of the Horror Mercenary Group, Ghost Fang Baines and Dane have been friends for many years. But time is ruthless. Old Ghost Ya is already fifty years old this year. In terms of the lifespan of a half-orc, it is estimated that he can live up to ten years. He wants to hand over the mercenary group to his own son to lead, but the same young Dane's status in the mercenary regiment is a bit too high, and it is not comparable to his idiot son.
Ever since, suppression followed one after another. If it weren't for Dane's high reputation and many fans in the mercenary group, if it would cause quite a stir to attack him directly, I'm afraid Old Ghost Ya would have killed him long ago. Dane believed that his 'good friend' whom he had known for so many years would definitely be able to do such a thing.
He is not a person who can restrain himself, since the suppression is coming, he will naturally resist.
No, two days ago, he had his eye on a caravan, led his own team, and attacked the caravan without informing Old Baines.
I have to say that Dane is capable. Relying on a special super-long sword and his strength as a berserker, he took the lead and led a team of no more than thirty people to completely plunder the caravan with hundreds of guards.
A large amount of wealth was moved back to Rotten Wolf Town by him and his men. This is a very good opportunity, with this record, he can definitely pull up his confidant team to have a showdown with Lao Guiya. At that time, whether it is to drive this old devil out of power, or to set up his own family, it is possible.
But what the hell, it was at this juncture that he fell ill!
He still deeply remembers that time when he just returned to Rotten Wolf Town with the wealth he robbed. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the town, he suddenly felt cold all over, and then he had a high fever for two consecutive days, which made him extremely weak. At the same time, during these two days, he also felt that a large number of memories that did not belong to him flooded into his mind and impacted his soul.
What high-rise buildings, what holographic games, what "Dynasty Heart", all messed up, I don't understand what's going on at all.
For this situation, he had no choice but to seek help from the shaman in the town. And the old Borg said that he was haunted by evil spirits and needed to be healed with magic, so there was the previous scene.
Old Borg is very black-hearted, and everyone in Rotten Wolf Town knows it. For a second-ring magical technique, even if you buy a scroll, it only costs one hundred and fifty gold coins, which is usually not that much money. But under this black-hearted old shaman, it costs three hundred and seven to cast a disperse spell! The price is more than twice that, which is simply outrageous.
Moreover, the charge for this old thing is not only expensive, but the workmanship is not very good. Although the evil spirit has been dispelled and there is no way to affect Dane anymore, the messy and unknown memories brought by the evil spirit are still lingering in his mind. This made Dane a little depressed.
Normally, if someone dared to slaughter Dane like a fat sheep, he would have to pick up his sword and teach that person the principles of business. But old Borg... Forget it, he was hacked by this old thing not once or twice, but no one will ever be able to do anything to him. Why is it that only the old Borg is capable of releasing the second and third ring magic in this place where the birds don't shit? Dane could only pinch his nose in recognition.
After paying the money, Dane said cursingly: "You old bastard, sooner or later you will be hacked to death by people who can't stand exploitation!"
The old Borg ignored him at all. He could only walk out of the shaman's dilapidated thatched hut on the edge of the town with a stinky face.
Standing outside the shaman hut, Dane looked around.
Schindler is located on the eastern wasteland, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the barren land is also not a place to support people. Rotten Wolf Town not far from the line of sight is even worse than other places in Schindler. This town, like a sand wolf lingering in the desert, is dirty and dilapidated, and there is a sour smell blown by the strong wind.
But such a place is an important trade center in the southeastern region of Schindler.
From the hinterland of the human world in the west, various products shipped through the Southern Cross Sea will be unloaded at Shawan Port not far away, and then transported by camel teams to the inland of Schindler. Rotten Wolf Town near Shawan Port in the wilderness is an important transit point.
The resident population of Rotten Wolf Town is not large, estimated to be around two to three thousand, but merchants from Schindler and even from all over the world, as well as caravan guards, mercenaries, and even pirates and bandits, these plus It seems to be much more than the aborigines. Now is autumn, the busiest time for business. According to Dane's own estimates, the current population of Rotten Wolf Town is estimated to reach tens of thousands.
Frowning, Dane stood amidst the wind and dust, thinking about where to go next.
He has been in a coma for two days with a high fever, and today he fell into a coma all afternoon. He has no idea what happened during these two days. He is quite worried now, you know, during this period of time, he originally wanted to rely on his own merits to have a showdown with Guiya! But who would have thought that at this juncture, an evil spirit haunted him, and his plan went bankrupt before it even started. He is very worried now that something will happen in the mercenary group that he cannot control.
So, he planned to find some of his confidantes in the mercenary regiment to quickly control the situation.
Just when such a thought arose in my heart, a man with a hunched back ran towards him in the distance, shouting while running: "Boss, boss, it's not good!"
Dane recognized him, [Smart Ghost] Tommy Jerome of the Horror Mercenary Corps.
Tommy is one of his confidants, he is very trustworthy, and he is very smart and quick-witted, which can be seen from his nickname. But that timid and unsteady look always made Dane hate iron for steel.
Dane scolded: "You idiot, how many times have I told you, be more cautious, don't panic when things happen, you have never listened to it! Speak slowly, what's the matter?"
Tommy ran in front of him, bent down with his hands on his knees, panted twice, and said, "Golobo and the others were locked up by Nasha, and all the trophies we grabbed two days ago have also been seized." Already!"
Hearing this news, Dane was furious!
Golobo is also one of his confidants, a brave half-orc warrior, and he was also a good partner who fought alongside him in the battle to plunder the caravan two days ago. And Nasha is the third leader of the mercenary group and a staunch supporter of the old head of Baines.
Nasha moved towards Golobo, the meaning was quite obvious-Old Bynes had already taken advantage of the two days when he was unconscious, and started to exert his strength!
"Then what are you waiting for? I'm going to save Golobo, Tommy, you go find our brother. Oh, that old thing Bynes has already done it, and we can't wait to die!" Dane mentioned his own With a sword, he was ready to kill back to the base of the Horror Mercenary Group in Rotten Wolf Town.
However, just after he took a step forward with his foot, he suddenly felt his heart beating violently.
In an instant, he had a very bad feeling that such a thing happened at this juncture!
However, before he could do anything, his eyes went dark, and he fell on his back!
When he opened his eyes, he was stunned by the scene in front of him - what the **** is this blue sky and green land?
Dane is not only an orphan, but also a 'wild species'. According to his mother, his father was a half-orc robber, and his mother was raped by his father to give birth to him, and then his father disappeared, probably already dead; his mother was also five years old He died of illness that year. The reason why Dane was able to live to this age was thanks to his half-orc blood from his father, which allowed him to have good strength when he was young, at least he could support himself.
He was a dock worker, a thief, and a street gang. In short, when he was growing up, what ugly things didn't he see? But I have never seen the blue sky and white clouds and the large grasslands and forests.
Taking a deep breath, the refreshing smell of grass made his nose used to smelling dust uncomfortable.
He was in a very anxious mood at the moment. The last time he fainted, he was haunted by evil spirits, which made his original showdown to seize power had to be terminated. This time, his confidantes and subordinates were all punished, and he was about to save people, and he did it again!
But it's useless to be anxious, he is obviously not near Rotten Wolf Town. He has stayed in Rotten Wolf Town for so long, and he has never seen such a place with such rich soil near Rotten Wolf Town—or in the entire Schindler region.
Schindler is a new country, a combination of half-orc tribes, human businessmen, and warlords. And this country is located in the west of the eastern wasteland, some are full of sand and dust, some are forever yellow sky ~IndoMTL.com~ some are barren wasteland, but there is no blue sky, white clouds and green grassland.
He looked up and saw a tall stone tower in the distance.
Dane assured that he had never seen such a tall stone tower. But why is there an inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart?
Like lightning, a memory came to his mind: "This is the tower of the empire?!"
Of course, this memory is not his own, but was obtained when Dane was haunted by evil spirits. These memories are quite fragmented, and many places are incomplete, but the memory of a game called "Dynasty Heart" is quite complete.
It was a so-called holographic game. Dane didn't know what the **** the holographic game was. In his opinion, it was more like a kind of magic, which brought people from the original world to another world, but it seemed different.
In that other world, the original owner of the memory became a lord, controlling a large area of territory in various ways that Dane could not understand, and constantly fighting with his enemies. There, it seems, war is not a terrible thing, but more like entertainment between what they call 'players'.
And the tall tower in front of him is the opening scene of the game "Dynasty Heart".
