"Wait to see Lord Schalke, pay the protection fee, and then ask for an identity card to join Norwood City. In the future, you can pay less, and you don't have to pay when you enter the city." The middle-aged man paused and continued.

"Thank you uncle, I have the opportunity to treat you to a drink." The other party was obviously chasing away guests, and Lu Feng was no longer able to follow him.

"Hehe, I have something to do at home today, let's do it another day." The middle-aged man left.

"I guess that the first mission appeared because the number one player in this world was killed by Schalke, so let's carry out the punishment mission," Artoria said.

"Maybe." Lu Feng didn't think so.

But one thing is for sure, they won't meet the number one player team here.

Then, they went to the pub on the old street, only to find that there are very few young people on the road, and there are many people in the pub, of course, there are still very few young people.

However, there are quite a lot of chatty people in the tavern. If you ask casually, you will get a lot of information, invite people to drink a few drinks, spend a little money, and all of them have become the kind of big mouths.

It seems that it is not a secret that Schalke kills possible competitors. It seems that it has been known. Schalke not only does not care, but also hopes to spread more widely and increase its deterrence.

Therefore, everyone here knows it, and it has become a relatively common topic of discussion.

After several days of investigation and comprehensive analysis of various information, Lu Feng reached a number of preliminary conclusions.

Of course, in terms of obtaining information, not only the tavern, Lu Feng and the others also went to other places, including in the name of renting a house, to inquire by the way.

Because they are foreigners, no one will find it strange if you ask more.

first.

The world of Mercury should not be dominated by a group of heroes. The so-called entry into the era of a group of heroes is probably just a glorified description given by the infinite world.

Since the end of the kingdom era, there has never been a truly effective order here.

In terms of Earth and Terra, a person like Schalke is more like a lord, but he is not like a lord, but like Terra's underground power boss.

In fact, the bosses of Terra's underground forces are more principled than people like Schalke.

At least within a thousand miles of Hailang Island, there are many rulers of the big island who do not know where they are. Some of them are still very famous, and the way of doing things and the means of governance are similar to Schalke.

Even many coastal towns were occupied by pirates.

This is a blatant occupation, and no other force can drive it away.

Second.

Here, strength is supreme, strength represents everything, and true strength represents everything, and with strength, you can do whatever you want.

In order to become stronger, or to maintain his position, he can do everything he can.

Schalke was afraid that the new player would grow up and threaten him in the future, so he killed the opponent without hesitation, and even killed the family directly.

This is not the practice of Schalke alone, it should be the basic strategy of most rulers here.

So killing fast-promoting players has become the norm.

Because of this, many players here who have not retired stay in the game hall all year round, and they use the game hall as a refuge.

Therefore, in the game hall, food items are usually expensive.

Because these props are limited, not to mention the vending machine has a limit on the number of slots, even NPC shops are the same, there are production limits for 24 hours a day, and it is impossible to provide unlimited.

What's more, NPC shops also have stipulated rest times.

This has made survival materials super expensive, and those active players who use the game lobby as a shelter consume too many points in this area, so the growth rate is not fast.

This leads to the result that the powerhouses in this world are too few relative to the size of the population.

In the entire Norwood City, there was only one Silver rank and twenty or so Bronze rank, all of them retired players. Schalke was in his thirties, and the others were of different ages.

Not long after Schalke retired, he killed the ruler here, and even the teammates who had cooperated with him for a long time and teamed up in the infinite world were also murdered by him, and he controlled the place by himself.

For so many years, there have been only a few epic fields, and the top player team has been killed by them.

Of course, if a newcomer grows up, they will soon find trouble with Schalke and kill Schalke directly, which is similar to what Schalke did at the beginning, because one mountain does not allow two tigers, and if they do not do this, they can basically leave Norwood City.

There are probably two ways.

This refers to the silver level and above. If it is bronze level, you can also join the Schalke group. Most of Schalke's powerful men come from this way, mainly from the island or the surrounding islands.

It's not without reason that Lu Feng and the others have implanted their identities.

People on some small islands around, once their strength is good, most of them will come out and join a certain faction, and then they can falsify their power, search everywhere, and get rich soon, which is much more efficient than working hard in the infinite world.

Of course, the premise is that the strength is okay, and it also needs to enter the senior player level.

The surrounding settlements are not only Norwood City, there are many villages and towns nearby, but they are also under the rule of Schalke.

Therefore, the population is actually not large, and there must be more than one million.

at last.

Lu Feng and the others easily got the information about the wizard's lamp, because they accidentally asked other things to get the information.

This baby is owned by the great wizard in St. Austin city in the north here. The great wizard is just a nickname. His real name is Toke, gold level, and he tends to use spells in terms of skills.

Because of the wizard's cup, he has a large number of magic value recovery items that can be used in the real world.

Although it is the lowest-end one among the magic value recovery potions, it is invincible to have such supplies in the real world.

This has provided a powerful help to the rule of the great wizard, so that the bottom people here have deified that guy, and it has almost become an undefeated legend.

And the rulers of many cities on this island, including Schalke, also paid tribute to the great wizard, paying regular monthly payments to seek protection.

Not a vassal, nor a vassal king, nor a affiliation.

Because they don't pay, the great wizard will come to attack, and they will give them a lesson, and even kill chickens to set an example.

As for the great wizard, if he didn't send his own people, he would immediately become a soil emperor and lose control, so he would have one less man.

Anyway, there is money to take, and the difference is not very big for the great wizard.

This is very similar to the layer-by-layer protection fees of the underground forces, and that's about it. It's a rather primitive way of ruling, but for the strong, unless they are killed by the rising stars, they are really comfortable and have few worries.

Of course, for the rulers here, it is impossible for them to rule for too long.

The few known people with names and surnames, most of whom are only ten years old, have been killed within a few years.

People here have only fear of these rulers, no respect or other feelings.

Usually, it is one person who attains the Tao and ascends to heaven, so once a person dies, there is a high probability that the family will be exterminated, the grass will be cut down, and the fear will disappear.

So for those who have died, there is everything to say, all kinds of black material, all kinds of sarcasm and so on.

In short, in the tavern, they are also a big talking point.

Most of them were prosperous and wealthy before their death, and they were left behind for thousands of years after their death.

This is probably the case.

Time passed quickly, a week passed quickly, Lu Feng and the others didn't really go to rent a house, it was just for inquiries, they had been staying in a hotel.

The hotel here is also a five-story building, and the facilities are not bad. There are even presidential suites and the like.

Lu Feng and the others lived in the presidential suite.

After the emergence of the infinite world, even if no effective order has been established here, technology and some living habits have been partially modernized.

No one wants to live a comfortable life.

Of course, because there is no way to industrialize, and there is no education system, it is impossible to form a systematic technology model. They are all low-end technologies, and they can't handle a little high-end technology. Therefore, in the eyes of Lu Feng and others, they are still very backward.

The presidential suite is on the top floor, the kind with a view. This morning, Lu Feng and the two went downstairs, and a large group of people were already waiting for them in the hotel reception hall.

The leader was the spear soldier at the city gate, named Ruston.

Regardless of Ruston's outfit as a soldier, he was actually a small leader under Schalke, with bronze-level strength. In the past few days, Lu Feng also knew his identity.

This month, each city gate is in charge of Ruston, and several small leaders under Schalke are in charge of various affairs in Norwood City. .

Most of the other errands with oil and water are changed every two months, and a few are changed every quarter, such as the management of the vegetable market.

Schalke is sitting on the protection fee himself, and he does not have to do anything. He eats, drinks and has fun every day, and leaves the errands with oil and water to his subordinates, so as to win people over.

"You two, I heard that you live in the presidential suite, but you didn't go to see Lord Schalke, what do you mean, do you deliberately want to miss the tax? I have an opinion on Lord Schalke, but I still feel that Norwood City is not well received. ?"

Ruston slammed his spear on the ground with a thud.

The two waitresses at the front desk of the hotel were shocked, and one of them hurriedly walked a few steps to reach Lu Feng and the two of them.

"Mr. Magic Blade, Miss Aya, why didn't you pay taxes?"

Knowing that Lu Feng and the others came from outside, the waitress said, "It's hard for you to go now. Ruston won't let you go easily. Let's say something nice and give Ruston some money, about two or two. About ten gold shells is enough."

"What if you don't give it?" Lu Feng laughed.

"Then you will be out of luck. Ruston will directly take all your things on the grounds that you are disrespectful to Lord Schalke and disobey Lord Schalke."

The waitress said: "And you still have to pay taxes, so you need to go to work at Lord Schalke's manor to pay off your debts."

Not only Schalke, but also those of Schalke's subordinates, almost everyone owns a large number of manors and fleets. They are all local tyrants, and many local residents are also workers in these places.

"Is that so, I feel so scared." Lu Feng said.

"It's really a toast, not eating and drinking." Ruston frowned and became angry. He wasn't stupid, so he could hear the sarcasm in Lu Feng's words.

"Take it for me and take it to Lord Schalke." Ruston waved his hand and ordered.

The large group of people following him rushed out to Lu Feng and the two of them.

With a clanging sound, white light flashed past, and the two people in front of them touched their necks.

Blazing Heaven Sword Skill, Light of Fire, Lu Feng directly drew the sword skill, beheading two people, Cheng Ying in his hand flashed a cold light, and his eyes were staring at these people.

Ruston's subordinates were all shocked for a moment. They glanced at the fallen companion in horror, then stared at Lu Feng, but did not dare to go forward.

They are lawless, but it is not that they are not afraid of death. When they see two people dying, how can they not be afraid.

"Made, take him down." Ruston was very annoyed at the performance of his subordinates.

Although so far, no one has been so arrogant.

Because everyone knows the rules here, if you come here to hang out, you should go to see Schalke anyway. Even if you forget, say a few good words, and pay a little money, it will be fine. People who live in the presidential suite will have no money.

Therefore, Ruston's subordinates haven't fought hard battles very much, but after all, they are from the infinite world, and they are all people who have seen **** storms, so they are so cowardly.

Since they do it, they must want to find fault. In any case, as the rulers of this neighborhood, they have to fight back, otherwise they will mess around in the future.

How could Ruston not be angry.

"Go, kill him." Ruston's men suddenly realized that they didn't want to be kicked out by Ruston~lightnovelpub.net~ It would be very miserable, so these people all rushed up, each A skill greeted the two of Lu Feng.

Arturia still didn't move, Lu Feng took a Chengying, stepped forward, chopped continuously, almost one sword at a time, clean and neat, screaming in the hotel, scared the waiter and some guests screaming and fleeing.

More than a dozen people in Ruston's group were killed and injured only a moment later.

"Mad, so strong? It won't be epic, will it?"

Ruston was also stunned. If the previous sword-drawing technique was considered a sneak attack, killing two people, it was also said in the past, now this kind of play is not something that ordinary people can do.

After all, Ruston's subordinates are also three ouroboros, senior players.

Regardless of the leader's restraint, Ruston rushed up with his spear, but it was useless, he found that they were not Lu Feng's opponents at all.

After only a few moves, several of his men fell. Even Ruston himself was slashed with a sword, and his spear was cut off into two pieces.

"Fuck, so powerful, is he a golden-grade weapon?"

Ruston was shocked. He was holding a blue spear from Infinite World, a weapon that can be brought to the real world. Although the real world cannot repair the durability, it is already very worn out, but a grade weapon is a grade weapon. A sword broke.
