Near noon, the bright sun shines on the wide and calm Emerald River, and the golden light is intertwined with the river water, like an emerald-colored silk ribbon embellished with golden edges fluttering in the spring breeze.

At this time, a group of people walked out of the unfinished tower. Facing the warm spring breeze, they walked through the maple forest with whispering voices, and crossed the wooden arch bridge leading to the west bank of the lower city to the training ground.

The training ground in Waterfall Town is one of the most important buildings in the whole town, because most people's strength improvement is carried out here.

In this spacious training ground, only those who join the forces of Waterfall Town are eligible to enter the training.

There are professional instructors here to point them to the practice methods of various specialties and skills, as well as the survival laws of the wilderness.

They will also be taught the simplest and deadliest fighting skills in the face of evil humanoid creatures, as well as the training methods to quickly improve their strength, so that they can avoid many unnecessary detours.

Although everyone has an upgrade method that can kill monsters to gain experience and practice points, not everyone has the strength to roam the wilderness and hunt monsters.

Among the players in Waterfall Town, most of them still use the same way of improving their strength as the original residents, relying on persistent training of their own abilities, and thus improving their level.

Although the experience gained by this training method is not so efficient compared to killing monsters.

But the only benefit is security and stability. And in the unremitting efforts over time, not only can they polish their basic abilities more firmly, but also greatly help to improve their own mood, so that they will become a natural progression when they advance.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

The appearance of these foreigners is a story of a new race colliding with the whole world. Only by adapting to their own living environment can they not be eliminated or assimilated by the world.

In their original world, humans were arguably the most adaptable of all species. Their ability to adapt is shown by constantly changing themselves.

Because humans adapt to complex environments and changes through continuous changes, they have become the species at the highest end of the food chain. And those species that cannot evolve and change will be screened to the lower level by the laws of nature. Some are culled to extinction, some are on the brink of extinction.

When they came to this world, the same is true. Only by constantly changing themselves to adapt to the rules of survival in this world can their racial civilization truly continue here.

Therefore, in the cruel life of more than a year, most of the people who survived have found their own way of survival or have adapted to the survival laws of this world.

The powerful loners among them have the ability to wander the wilderness alone and hunt evil humanoids.

There are also small and medium-sized adventure teams who are unwilling to join various forces, and through the mutual cooperation and trust among their peers, they are gradually gaining a foothold.

There are also players and lords with lofty ideals who lead people with the same goals to establish their own races in places where civilization has not set foot, and continue their original civilization.

Of course, those who want to survive join the local forces in this world, adapt to their culture and system, and move forward step by step.

In any case, this is how humans change themselves in order to adapt to the environment.

Because most of those who can't adapt have disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people, and no one will remember those eliminated who were hiding in the corner and crying.

They will only see those fighters of destiny, every step forward, every footprint left, whether it is laughing or crying, the whole process will be clearly written on the way forward.

At this time, Thorne, who was not very gregarious, walked with Andrina in the last row of the group.

"The duel between the Juggernaut and the Storm Lord, do you think which of the two is more powerful." Andrina and Thorne walked side by side, looking at the group of people who crossed the bridge, and asked curiously.

"It's boring if you don't spoil it, you'll know when it starts." Thorne looked at her and said with a smile.

Orc Sword Saint Kutaig's basic occupation is a 5th-level warrior, and his advanced occupation is a 4th-level swordsman, with a total level of 9, and he also inherited the rare natural rage ability of the orc race.

Storm Lord Albert's basic occupation is a 5th-level priest, his advanced occupation is a 4th-level storm lord, and he has a 3rd-level barbarian, which also has the ability to rage.

These two people with violent abilities fought each other, and Thorne was vaguely looking forward to what sparks they could collide with.

After all, after the Orc Juggernaut went berserk, he had personally experienced the "Qi Lifting Slash" he performed.

When the two of them were about to reach the bridgehead, they found that Lilia, the middle-aged Druid Tabo, and the ranger Zelos who had fought against him all turned their attention to this place, and they seemed to stay here on purpose, waiting for them 's arrival

"Hello, Uncle Tabo." Thorne brought Anderina to greet him.

Andrina deliberately trailed Thorne by two steps, smiled and nodded at Lilia, and remained silent.

"It's really good. It's really gratifying to see such a strong side of Lilia, and it can be regarded as an explanation for your mentor." Druid Tabo said with a smile, as if in a mood It looks very nice.

"Yes, in Lilia, I see the hope of our half-elves in the future. I plan to go to the Northland Wasteland in two days. There are many homeless half-elves waiting for my guidance. They came here." Ranger Zelos glanced at the half-elf girl, smiled and echoed, and then said his plan.

"Then trouble you." Thorne expressed his sincere thanks to the ranger.

Only population is the basis for strength, and the idea of ​​this 10th-level ranger is also his plan in the future.

However, since the other party can think of this and go there voluntarily, it is natural for him to ask for it.

"Don't be so polite, we are all half-elves in the upper city, and we should do our best for future development." Zelos waved his hand and said not very concerned.

"Lilia, can you tell me what agreement you signed with the people in Xiacheng?" Then Thorne and the other party politely said a few words, then turned his eyes to Lilia and expressed his doubts.

"Apart from some mutually beneficial conditions on both sides, the most important point is that I promised them to build a shrine and a monastery on the easternmost land in Uptown, and re-open a road to Uptown in the easternmost of the two areas. ."

Lilia glanced at Thorne and said truthfully: "After all, the land in the lower city is not as big as our upper city, it is indeed a bit insufficient, and the cost of expanding outwards is too high. But I only promise them to build In the temple area, the others did not agree."

"So, there are already messengers from other gods ready to settle in Waterfall Town to spread their faith." Thorne pondered for a while and asked.

In fact, he has always had this idea of ​​letting the strength of good gods or neutral gods settle in the town. After all, this is a world dominated by gods. A place without the protection of good gods will only attract the peeps of countless evil people.

"It's the pastor of the Mother Earth Goddess Changtya, as for the rest, I don't know much." Lilia shook her head slightly after she finished speaking.

Goddess of the Earth, Chang Tzuya!

An ancient and powerful deity of neutral good alignment, whose priesthood is dominated by agriculture, human-grown crops, farmers, and gardeners.

"It seems that there are many powers of gods who have been secretly paying attention to the development of Waterfall Town." Thorne looked stunned, recalled some simple information about the Mother Earth, nodded and said, "There is this **** stationed in Waterfall. Going to the town can indeed play a big role in the future development of the town."

Of course, the most important point is that when the Temple of the Earth Goddess is established in Waterfall Town, whether it is their player group or the half-elf residents, they can choose the profession of priest.

After all, the temple chose to settle in Waterfall Town, and its purpose was to spread beliefs. If someone is willing to become the priest of the Mother Earth, the bishops of the temple will naturally welcome them with both hands, but the premise of all this is that your faith is sufficiently pious.

And as a neutral and good deity, the teachings of the Mother Earth are the growth of life and the protection of the sowing and harvesting of crops. If the town of Falls is in crisis, they will also choose to send out temple knights and priests for support.

"It's very likely that Waterfall Town repelled the invasion of the Hobgoblin cleanly this time, allowing the Church of the Mother Earth to see the future potential of this town. If the threat of Hobgoblin is completely eliminated, I am afraid there will be more The temple forces chose to settle in." Thorne secretly guessed.

The priests of the Mother Earth chose to settle in Pushang Town at this time, which is more like a venture capital investment. Under the circumstance that Pushang Town is not stable, they choose to help, and the benefits will undoubtedly be the greatest.

Otherwise, when Pushang Town truly stands in the wilderness, the initiative will be entirely in its own hands. If the temple forces want to spread their beliefs in Pushang Town, they must show equal interests. Otherwise, as long as the lord does not nod and agree, you cannot preach here.

Then the group walked towards the training ground on the west bank, with Druid Tabo walking at the forefront, Thorne walking with Zelos, listening to him tell about the various adventures in the Northland wasteland, and Andrina Then he walked a few steps behind with Lilia.

Just when the group was about to reach the gate of the training ground, they suddenly noticed the commotion in front of them, and many people who were eating melons gathered around to watch the fun.

"I'm just walking a dog, what's in your way?" In the crowd, the ranger Ashmore led a dirty kobold and was stopped by Eugene, the Eid from Horn Town.

"Don't you think this kobold is pitiful?" Eugene, flapping his little wings, looked at the kobold lying on the ground, and said unbearably, "I heard this kobold when I passed by you. Crying, you're abusing it."

"I abused it?" Ashmore was taken aback by Eugene's words, and then said: "You are sick, do you know how many of our compatriots died at the hands of these evil humanoids? They No need for your pity, because they deserve to die!"

"Since it's damned, then you just kill it. You don't need to use such means to abuse it. People like you are twisted and perverted in your heart." Eugene from Ode accused Ashmo.

"You said I was twisted and perverted?" Ashmo, the scolded ranger, looked at Eugene and directly retorted: "Then what are you? The Virgin Kobold?"

"You orphan, see clearly that I'm an Eude, not a kobold!"

…………

"Why do I feel like two little kids are arguing." Andrina said as she walked over to Thorne.

"They were originally two teenage children." Thorne frowned: "However, that Eugene is right, kobolds are hateful, just kill them directly, after all, they belong to the intelligent race.

This kind of humiliating behavior to gain pleasure, over time, will indeed make people's heart gradually distorted, and then slowly fall into the evil camp. I have reminded him many times, but he has never gotten rid of this bad habit. . "

"I didn't say that Eugene should return to Horn Town early, why is he still staying here?" On the other side, the goblin wizard Malvasa, who noticed the situation, looked at the tiger man Cyru and asked.

"I did come here after watching him leave with Niergao with my own eyes. But it's not like you don't know that he can fly by himself, even if we want to stop it, we can't stop it." Tiger Sailu was a little helpless. said.

"To form an alliance with Clarion Town cannot avoid frequent contact between the people of the two towns. Our regulations for the town on the waterfall need to be improved." Carlos calmly looked at the place where the crowd gathered, and said to Torvi beside him.

"Include the prohibition on killing any humanoid and beast monsters." Torway nodded and said after a moment of thought: "This kind of behavior was not prohibited before, mainly because I didn't want them to be too depressed and unable to vent. Now it has been Start to get on the right track, then these hidden dangers that are not conducive to the future development of the town need to be gradually banned."

…………

After a little episode, everyone came to the training ground in the West Bank.

At this time, the duel between the orc sword saint Kutaig and the storm lord Albert has reached a fever pitch.

The Orc Sword Saint held a sword in one hand, and stood on the ground with a calm expression, his chest undulating slightly, obviously consuming a lot of physical strength.

Albert, on the other hand, relied on the "flying technique" to float in mid-air, the spear in his hand jumped with a crackling dark purple arc, and the whole body was also shrouded in an almost invisible protective barrier.

Suddenly, the two holding each other, as if they had agreed, roared angrily and activated their violent abilities.

In the bursts of crackling explosions, the height suddenly increased a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately after that, two burly figures collided violently in an instant.
