Chapter 141: Using a fantasy novel to trick NPCs is too much
"oh?"
Hearing this, Andrew was stunned, and then he was delighted.
It was obvious that the Lord of the Northern City wanted to see him about something. It must be about the Envoys' request for peace!
Andrew is a person who pays attention to efficiency. The most important thing is to get things done as soon as possible.
"lead the way!"
Andrew walked out of the room and arranged for the other members of the delegation to be settled. He then set off lightly, following the adventurer to the City Lord's Mansion.
…
Walking on the street, the northern city that he had not experienced personally yesterday was completely revealed in front of Andrew.
The bustling streets, the occasional undead passing by, and the human players wearing wizard robes chatting and laughing with the residents of the Northern City, it seems that the North is not as miserable as the temple said.
Andrew had come to the North Forest for an adventure many years ago. He had been to the North.
Andrew still remembered that the North at that time was considered poor in the entire Lion Empire. It was recognized as a rural area, too far away from the center of power and economy.
Although the situation in the North has improved somewhat in recent years, as the Temple of Light has become increasingly powerful, many people who have had bad relations with the Temple of Light have fled to the North, including both innocent people and truly heinous villains.
These people, a mixed bunch, came together to change the situation in the North, making it a recognized dark city.
In Andrew's imagination, the city should be full of chaos, robbery, theft, fighting, stabbing and other things that can express the evil nature of human beings.
But unexpectedly, the whole street looked very peaceful and tranquil. Along the way, Andrew did not find any crime!
A large number of city guards were walking on the streets, distributing pieces of parchment. Passersby who took the parchment stopped and performed a strange etiquette with the city guards that Andrew could not understand.
Put your hands together in front of your chest and raise them up, and politely say to each other: "Amitabha."
After saying this, both parties nodded to each other and left.
"Amitabha?"
Andrew was a little confused, and wondered to himself: "What does this sentence mean?"
Also, why does this etiquette of putting hands together and raising them up seem so solemn and ancient?
Andrew was very curious, so he consciously approached a city guard and pretended to be passing by. Sure enough, the city guard smiled and handed a piece of parchment to Andrew.
Andrew quickly opened the parchment and read it curiously, but was completely confused.
Although the writing on the parchment was in the language of the continent of Esk, Andrew just couldn't understand the meaning.
“…Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. The same is true of feeling, perception, mental formation and consciousness…”
The amazing thing is that he knew every word, but when the words were combined together, Andrew didn’t recognize them!
The adventurer who led the way noticed Andrew's expression and explained with a smile: "Mr. Andrew, this thing you are looking at is distributed by the publicity department of the Death Church."
Originally, the three major clubs just wanted to arrange some players to cooperate with Saint Alia to manage the Church of Death and support its development.
Unexpectedly, these players went too far, violating all the rules and regulations, including distributing flyers.
However, based on the belief of copycatism, when it came to forming some aspects of the Church of Death, the players were too lazy to think about it and directly applied the religious templates from the real world.
What the sages have accumulated over the years naturally contains countless wisdoms. Regardless of whether you understand this wisdom or not, it is very useful to fool these NPCs.
Especially some religious text selections that seem particularly obscure and difficult to understand. Even the players themselves can’t understand them, but the NPCs in the Northern City seem to be able to understand these mysterious things.
Don’t worry about whether you understand the meaning or not. Now that you have it in your hands, the players in the publicity and promotion department can interpret this sentence however they want!
Could it be possible that there are people who are proficient in Buddhism among the game NPCs? We are not worried about being exposed at all!
The players are so confident in talking nonsense!
"The Church of Death?"
Andrew was stunned: "What is it for?"
The adventurer's face suddenly became serious, and he spoke with respect and awe: "The Church of Death is a great sect founded by the respected Saint! It is the dark side of light! It is the beacon in the hearts of the people of the North!"
"We believe in death! We are enemies of light!"
The adventurer stopped and shouted excitedly, almost chanting: "According to our scriptures! It is said that before the endless era, the dark age enveloped the Esk continent! Lord Death was born in one fell swoop and struck the greatest enemy of mankind! That battle killed all the people! The endless era was destroyed! Countless stars fell! The gods fought! The void was crushed! The blood of the gods was glorious! Lord Death ruled the world for eternity! He suppressed all the enemies!"
"hiss!"
Andrew took a breath, his face full of shock.
Although he didn't understand, he felt it was very cool.
If Andrew were a player, he would definitely feel that these words sound familiar. They should have been plagiarized by the players in the publicity and promotion department from a fantasy clip on the Internet.
Andrew was so engrossed in listening that he didn't even notice that the passing undead couldn't help but quicken their pace.
While quickly leaving the two people, they communicated in a low voice.
"Go away, go away, it's so embarrassing."
"Yeah, I believe what's said in fantasy. These NPCs are so immature! So naive!"
"Every time I hear NPCs talking about the bragging of the publicity department, I can't help but blush. It's so embarrassing!"
"You said that using Buddhist scriptures to fool people is fine, but why are you using fantasy to fool NPCs? That's too much!"
"No, what should I do if I want to laugh?"
…
The adventurer was still excitedly introducing it to Andrew.
"The God of Light is also one of the great enemies outside the universe. Unfortunately, he is cunning and changeable, and he attacked the kingdom of Lord Death! In order to protect the continent of Esk, Lord Death was finally seriously injured. His blood was spilled all over the universe, and he was buried in the endless darkness and fell asleep!"
"The God of Light is shameless! He disguised himself as a human god and tricked the ignorant and kind-hearted humans into believing in him! But the real god of the human race, the God of Death, was framed as darkness by the God of Light!"
"The God of Death said that light and darkness are one and the same! There has never been true darkness or true light in this world! The God of Light is an unparalleled enemy who deceives all living beings!"
"Now, Lord Death has awakened again! He must return to the top and conquer the universe again! Make all enemies tremble and prostrate themselves at his feet!"
The adventurer became more and more excited as he spoke. Andrew was excited at first, but then he felt something was wrong the more he listened.
Although Andrew had no evidence, he always felt that this adventurer seemed to be bragging.
"Wait, don't say that for now."
Andrew interrupted the adventurer's endless introduction: "I think you may not be able to finish the introduction for a while. I have to go find the city lord now."
"Yeah, I can't finish introducing it."
The adventurer was still not satisfied, smacked his lips, and said, "You may not know, but there are actually millions of words left to tell about the story of the God of Death."
"Millions of words?"
Andrew took a deep breath and said, "The longest bardic story on the Esk Continent, recorded in a book, is only a little over 100,000 words!"
"Yes, yes, the story of the God of Death has also been written into a book!"
The adventurer nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and said, "I'll give you a copy later, for free! I strongly recommend you to read it, so that you can understand the life of the God of Death!"
Andrew was shocked and curious about the book of millions of words, and couldn't help asking, "What is the name of this book?"
"Perfect World, author Chen Dong."
Okay!
The truth is out.
It turns out that this group of stupid players really moved an entire fantasy into another world! To fool these natives of another world who have never seen the world and never used the Internet!
