Today's Princess is still lovely Author: Hongtashan 100

In the cycle of time and the changes of history, the boy who was favored by God but did not believe in God and the girl who was abandoned by God but still expected God's mercy met with equally lonely souls. It was the first time in Cardinson's life that he hugged the girl who had waited for him for fourteen years. He felt that she was like a star flower that could be blown away by the wind at any time, but he was willing to go far away with her.

Chapter 1 The World's No. Shadow Knight

"GG, GG, I can't win."

Dragon Blood Mad Warrior [Song of Triumph], who ranks fifth in the national combat power ranking, looked at the young man in black armor and black robe in front of him and showed a helpless smile.

【Follow the Shadow】, LV80, Shadow Knight, a master with unique skills who is well-known in the high-end player circle. You won’t find him in the top of the combat power list thanks to the equipment he piled up, but if it is a PVP single-player ladder like now, even the guy ranked first in the world would say "awesome", and he plays a less popular game among the less popular ones. Many people say that if he changed his profession, he would have won the world championship by now.

The young man smiled, put away his weapon, and said slowly: "You are stupid. You want to kill me by bursting. You have been playing for so long and you still don't know my skill mechanism?"

[Song of Triumph] spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't let you stack my marks on me and kill me in one blow. It's better to die in a big way than to die slowly."

【Follow the Shadow】 looked up at the countdown above the duel field and yawned: "Okay, I'm going to sleep. The version will be updated tomorrow. I'm looking forward to what the third-level job transfer of Shadow Knight will be."

The guy on the other side spat and said, "Sewer! I'll borrow the account of the extreme boxing champion next time to beat you up."

The young man waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's the sewer, I like it."

Watching the figure of [Triumph Song] turn into a point of light and disappear, he swiped his hand and wanted to log out of the game, but was stunned.

"Sorry, an unknown error occurred and your game cannot be exited."

This is the first time I have seen such a system prompt.

"Blue Realm" is running on the world's top servers. It is a masterpiece that spans an era. There has not been a single problem in the three years since it was launched. The operator even proposed an activity of "a reward of one million US dollars for finding a bug", which set off a wave of "everyone is a programmer" enthusiasm among the player community. However, until now, no one has received the bounty.

If you try Tudou Company instead, it will go bankrupt at the speed of light on the same day.

However, the bug has actually happened now, so let’s just call it a bug.

The countdown of the duel arena above his head turned gray and stopped ticking. The young man simply sat on the ground, wondering excitedly whether he could collect the bounty tomorrow. It was one million US dollars. Previously, he won the first place in the city championship but only got 300,000 RMB.

The young man's original surname was Yan, with a single character named Mu. He became a full-time gamer after graduating from high school at the age of 18. In three years, he became the world's number one Shadow Knight, and the only Shadow Knight among the top 200 in the world ladder.

There is no way. This profession requires too much skill and it is extremely difficult to get started. Even if there are fans who admire [Follow the Shadow] or high-level players who choose this profession, they will find in the later stages that the damage is not proportional to the skill. No one wants to play in a team, and they cannot win in a one-on-one fight. It is a real sewer.

In other words, Yan Mu was able to play it to the fullest. He could cut through the surroundings with a two-handed sword, and his various combination skills were superb. Each highlight video posted on the Internet had no less than tens of millions of views.

Suddenly, Yan Mu, who was packing his backpack, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked up at the edge of the duel arena.

A dark hole formed and began to devour everything visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, come on, don't mess with me, bro."

Yan Mu subconsciously ran away, but was unable to escape the horrible suction. After shouting a few times, he was sucked into the black hole.

[Song of Triumph] After logging off, I had a good sleep. After waking up, I couldn’t wait to open the official website of "Blue Realm" and directly clicked on the announcement of the version update.

"Hmm? There are a lot of changes in the new version. The demigod system has been added. After the third job transfer, you can choose your own path to godhood. Let me see, the third job transfer ranks first in terms of strength. What the hell? No way! That kid is going to make a comeback!"

High-level gamers like them who play games frequently have offline friends.

[Song of Triumph] He quickly took out his cell phone to send a message.

"Hey! Brother, the Shadow Knight's third transformation is about to take off! Pack up your things and come play professionally with me!"

But until a long time later, he did not receive a reply from the guy with the note "Follow the shadow".

"Get lost, you half-blood brat! Don't you see whose territory this is? Did you ask me before you came here to beg for food?"

The burly man with a ferocious look picked up a ragged and skinny boy, threw him directly into the alley from the back door of the restaurant, and closed the door while cursing.

The young man grunted twice, climbed up from the ground, rubbed his sore butt, and staggered out of the alley. Fortunately, these people still knew what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young, so they didn't beat him up.

He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, about 1.65 meters tall, with the gray-green eyes of the northern Snow County and rare silver-white hair. He was wearing a tattered coarse linen robe, with nothing underneath, like a shriveled little monkey.

The only thing worth mentioning is that face which is pretty even though covered with stains.

"I've traveled through time, but why don't you let me bring my main account or game system here? Why is there nothing here? Just let me play Metamorphosis?"

This young man was none other than Yan Mu, who had traveled to the gaming world three days ago. Now he was a down-and-out homeless man named Cardinson.

Cardinson estimated that the original owner starved to death in the bridge tunnel, and then he took advantage of the situation to borrow the shell.

There is not much memory left of the original thing. All that is known is that Cardinson was raised by a beggar. After the beggar died, he continued his wandering life. Because of his quarter Dark Moon Elf blood, he was discriminated against and no one wanted to be his apprentice or odd job.

When he first crossed over, he still wanted to become a knight and follow his old path. With the memories of his past life, he would soon be a brave man again. However, he did not expect that the registration for the most basic knight apprenticeship would cost fifty gold coins, and Cardinson could not even find two copper coins on him.

This is really abominable. Even when I was at my poorest in my previous life, my gaming account had tens of thousands of gold coins!

Cardinson was helpless and could only try his best to survive. People like him with strong adaptability could quickly accept the status quo wherever he went. Today was the fourth day of the time travel. Although he had been beaten quite a lot, at least he could find something to fill his stomach.

What's more, he has a hidden route to take!

Cardinson looked at the scorching sun, thankful that it was not winter, shrugged his shoulders, and headed towards his destination.

Chapter 2 Mission: Veteran's Glory

Ziye City, one of the eight novice cities in "Blue Realm", is located in the south of the imperial capital and belongs to Zesong County in the middle of the five major counties.

Of course, although we are now in the game world, it is not a game, so there will be no novice guidance for Cardinson, let alone a series of tasks and gift packs.

After all, Kadinsen was a high-level player in his previous life, and he was the best in his field, so he knew a lot about this game.

In three days, he made many plans, and then deleted those risky and low-return routes one by one, and chose the plan that suits him best and can solve the problem of food and clothing once and for all!

Nell Pine.

This character was discovered by players who were bored and knocking on doors in the hope of earning some money by completing side quests.

Nell is a taciturn old man. After discovering that his team had tried everything but received no response, he was unexpectedly activated to have a conversation with a knight player in the team.

"Are you a knight too? Ha, anyone can be a knight now. I can't see any virtues associated with knights in your eyes. I only see blood and desire."

After the weird old man said this, the game will give you a special task, [Old Soldier's Glory Inheritance], which contains two options - "Defeat him in a single fight, or become a friend of Neil Pine. Once you choose, you can't proceed to the other route."

Everyone thought about it and decided to fight hard. After all, this old man was too difficult to get along with. It would take an unknown amount of time to build up favorability to become friends with him. It was not worth wasting too much time. Besides, how powerful could an old guy in a novice city be?

At that time, the team was already a powerful team with an average level of 50 and all members had completed their first job transfer. But no one could defeat Nell! They were all beaten to a pulp by a knight's sword.

In the end they had to call in outside help, a master who was ranked in the top 80 of the ladder and at level , and this time he defeated Neil Pine.

But in the end, Nell only left a sentence: "I should have died on that battlefield a long time ago, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated by the villains in the end. What a life."

The old man became so disheartened that he died!

This is actually a one-time NPC!

The team was stunned, but luckily the game gave a hint that the task was completed, and the reward was a knight's one-handed sword named [Frostfire], blue grade, with good attributes, which can only be said to be better than nothing. (In "Blue Realm", the equipment uses the traditional white, green, blue, purple, orange and red colors to distinguish between ordinary, excellent, rare, epic and legendary items, and the red ones are suits.)

This incident cost the team a lot of money, but they chose to swallow their pride and pretend that nothing had happened. After all, the cost of hiring foreign aid of this level was enough to buy three rare blue equipment.

How did Cardinson know about this later?

That foreign aid expert just happened to be a fan of his [Qie Sui Ying Xing], and he was the kind of person who would send gifts crazily during live broadcasts.

During a conversation, the master told Cardinson about this somewhat strange side quest, and said that if Cardinson was there, with his knight profession, he would probably make a lot of money.

Because old man Neil Pine seemed to have a strange reaction to the knight profession.

Now, Cardinson, who happened to travel to Ziye City, began to have ideas.

Although Shadow Knight is not a traditional knight, he followed the path of an orthodox knight - Templar Knight - Shadow Knight before his second job change.

Among the nine basic professions, the knight has the relatively few job changes. There are only three in the first change: Royal Knight (commonly known as Lancer, second turn Triumphal Knight, Rose Knight), Templar Knight (commonly known as Sword Knight, second turn Morning Star Knight, Shadow Knight), and Earth Knight (commonly known as Beaten Knight, second turn Sky Knight, Fearless Knight). Everything that can be researched has already been thoroughly studied by these knight players.

In other words, Cardinson could even recite the chronicles of the Templar Knights.

It has now been confirmed that Neil Payne uses a sword, and his strength should be around level 60. The possibility of his strength declining with age cannot be ruled out, but his knightly swordsmanship is particularly superb, which means that this guy must be a Templar Knight. Every Morning Star Knight is extremely precious in the Vatican and has to be taken care of by the Vatican in their old age, so it is impossible to let him wander among the people.

Isn’t this just a coincidence!

Therefore, Cardinson was quite confident about the success of his trip. He knew the likes and dislikes of the Templars, as well as their identities - it was now the 1179th year of the Blue Calendar, which was exactly the first twenty years after their players entered the game. Combining the other party's mission and the direction of history, it was not difficult to judge that old man Nell was the veteran who retired from the Second Templar Crusade.

He didn't get beaten up in Ziye City for the past three days in vain. Based on his friend's hint, he has determined the location of Neil Payne. After all, being familiar with the map is a basic operation for every "Blue Realm" player. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you get lost in a team battle and don't have a teleport scroll?

Cardinson found a backyard, apologized, climbed in, and used the water in the water tank and the "borrowed" soap to wash his body, even the gaps between his nails.

This is also one of the basic tasks. It is very likely that Nell is an old-fashioned knight. Coming from the Vatican, they are very particular about personal cleanliness. If you knock on Nell's door in a sloppy manner, out of the virtues of chivalry, you will not be driven away immediately, but your innate favorability will definitely drop significantly.

After cleaning up, Cardinson went out again.

Now that there is no character panel, he cannot see his own attributes, but judging from the fact that he is out of breath even after climbing over the wall, he is really very weak now.

"Excuse me, ma'am, excuse me. Do you know an old lady named Neil Pine who lives nearby?" Cardinson stopped an old lady who looked kind on the road and asked politely.

Although she looked at his silver hair and gray-green eyes several times, the old woman still said gently, "Child, you are talking about Old Pine, right? He lives in the third yard at the front corner. But if you need to see him, you need to wait. Old Pine should be teaching children to write nearby and is about to come back."

Cardinson was overjoyed to receive the accurate information. He said gratefully, "Thank you. I hope time can go slower for you, beautiful lady."

The old woman took a fruit from the basket and handed it to him with a smile. Before leaving, she said, "Old Pine has a bad temper, but he loves children very much. If you want to visit him, remember to call him Grandpa. I think you should be very young."

Cardinson thanked him again.

Following the old woman's instructions, he walked to Neil Payne's door and stood there respectfully, waiting for the return of the old Templar.

After a while, Neil Pine appeared in front of Cardinson, walking towards his room with a box of paper and pen.

Chapter 3 True Knight

"Hello, Grandpa Pine!"

Cardinson shouted as soon as Neil Pine spotted him.

Sure enough, after hearing this name, old Pine, who had originally frowned, relaxed his brows.

"Kid, what do you want from me?"

Although Neil Pine was thin, he had a big frame and was tall. He was two heads taller than Cardinson, who was only 1.65 meters tall. He was a little over two meters tall, which was not common among humans in this world.

His hair and beard have turned white, and even with wrinkles all over his face, he still has a dignified look. His temperament is very decent, and his eyes are the most common brown color in the Canglan Empire, which carries a deep charm.

Hearing the low but generous voice of Old Pine, Cardinson said quickly, "Grandpa Pine, I am a wanderer and have just arrived in Ziye City a few days ago. But I heard from some children of the same age that you are a warm-hearted and tolerant old man, so I hope to come here to seek your help."

"No wonder I haven't seen you around here," Old Pine's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, "Do you need money? Son, I can treat you to dinner and help you find a job nearby tomorrow."

Sure enough, just as the old woman said, old Pine loved children very much. If an adult came here, he would probably not even say a few words to him.

Cardinson put on a miserable look and offered his prepared words: "Grandpa Payne, I know it's rude to ask you for something right after we meet, but you've seen that I'm a half-blood, a half-blood of the Dark Moon Elf who is hated by everyone. Even if I find a job, I'll still be despised. I don't want to waste your favor, so can you take me in? I can do any job, including cleaning, cooking, washing and mopping the floor. You just need to provide me with a place to stay and the simplest meals."

In Cardinson's plan, he actually had three sets of words to deal with Old Pine, but now that he had enough information, he chose the most direct one.

As the guides of the Demonic Calamity three hundred years ago, the Darkmoon Elves, or what we understand as traitors, have been firmly nailed to the pillar of shame of civilization.

Silver hair and beautiful faces are their most distinctive features. After humans and other races joined hands to repel the demons, the Dark Moon Elves naturally suffered a liquidation. According to game information, there are less than a thousand pure-blooded Dark Moon Elves alive now, scattered in the dark corners of various forests.

Cardinson judged that one of his parents was a Darkmoon half-elf and the other was from the northern Snowshire.

Now Cardinson is betting that old Pine is the most traditional knight, the kind who values virtue more than life, and adheres to the creed of loving all things in the world equally and with compassion.

Perhaps the half-blood children of the Dark Moon Elves are dirty and lowly beings to others, but in the eyes of these traditional knights, they are innocent children who need more love and care.

If that fails, then Cardinson has a backup plan, and a qualified player should never have only one plan.

Cardinson succeeded.

Old Pine hesitated for a moment, then opened his door and said, "Come in first, poor child."

Nice!

Cardinson shouted secretly in his heart, then lowered his head and followed old Pine into the yard.

This is the most common courtyard in Ziye City. There are two large houses and one small one. There is not even a tree in the middle of the courtyard. It is empty, with only an axe and a pile of firewood placed in the corner.

"Sit down and talk."

Old Pine took out two wooden chairs from the house, gave one to Cardinson, and sat on the other himself. Even when sitting, his back was straight.

Cardinson sat down properly, looking well-behaved.

Old Pine looked at his ears, which were a little pointier than those of others, and his delicate and childish face, and felt emotional - a Darkmoon elf. Now he couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, which was exactly what Cardinson wanted.

He asked aloud, "Child, can you tell me your name?"

"Grandpa Pine, my name is Cardinson, I'm sixteen years old, and I walked all the way here from the south." As he spoke, he did not forget to shrink his shoes, which had several holes in them and did not fit his feet, and pretended to be very embarrassed.

Cardinson knows how to turn his shortcomings into advantages, and he gets used to playing the victim after doing it for a while.
