In other words, the weakest "professionals" on this land are probably those arrogant young nobles...

"You'd better keep your mouth shut, or those big shots might hear us and deduct our commissions."

Andre did not refute this, but just stopped the other party from complaining. After all, those big shots were quite rich. They were offered a huge sum of 15 gold coins for just a job as a gatekeeper. You know, when they were adventurers, they worked so hard that they could only earn eight gold coins a year...

"Um?!"

Just after Andre finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment...

"what happened?"

Seeing Andre's reaction, the good buddy standing next to him asked in surprise...

"No...nothing."

Andre looked around but didn't see anything strange around him. But he clearly felt that something had just passed him by...

Chapter 261 Adventurers from Another World

A figure shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared on the grass about a hundred meters away from the Adventurer's Guild. Her long silver-white hair reflecting the sunlight and the floating magic device that looked very ominous were extremely eye-catching in the wilderness filled with a lot of vegetation. So as soon as she appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of several young adventurers in front of the guild.

"Are you... kidding? That direction..."

The young adventurers were a little confused as to why a person suddenly appeared on the grass, but the older adventurers were stunned when they saw the direction where the figure was walking slowly.

"That's the Corrupted Forest over there! Did she come out from there?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the people who saw Serena, but even the "big shots" in the Adventurer's Guild were successfully diverted by this sudden exclamation...

"Is it dangerous? It's just a broken forest."

Selina, who also heard the voice, immediately said something Versailles. With just a cursory glance at the names and levels marked above their heads, she could basically determine that this was a group of rookie players. The highest level of those adventurers was only level 47, and the challenge level of the ruins was 85. But the monsters inside could even reach level 135. It was no exaggeration to say that if this group of people dared to go in, the monsters in the dungeon would dare to show them what the health bar disappearing technique was...

There are two special mechanisms in the game Fallen Ark, one is level suppression and the other is attribute suppression.

For example, if you are level 10 and are hit by a level 50 monster, the damage you receive will increase by 1% for every level difference.

Fortunately, this damage can be reduced by the strength of the total attribute. If the total attribute of the monster is 100, but your attribute exceeds 100, then for every 1 point above the opponent, the damage you receive will be reduced by 1%.

Unfortunately, for low-level rookies, these two special mechanisms will basically be accepted by them. Not only will they be suppressed by their level, but also by their attributes. Suppose the monster can only cause 10 points of damage at most, but because the gap between the level and the total attribute is too large, it will die directly after being touched.

But for Selena, these problems are nothing.

Due to the previous mistake, she now wears two sets of 'Thirteen Constraints'. So her single attribute is now as high as 600 points. The sum of the five dimensions is as high as 3000 points. Not to mention that the monster is 100 levels lower than her, even if it is 200 levels lower. As long as the opponent's attributes are not higher than hers, there will be a situation of 'critical hit minus 1' or even 'white text minus 0'...

"Just a...a broken forest?!!"

Such an explosive speech naturally attracted a lot of noise from the adventurers. But before Serena could continue, a roar of anger was heard from the Adventurer's Guild.

"What are you commoners arguing about? Don't you know that Lady Lilina is in a meeting in there?!"

Then, Selina saw a middle-aged bald man wearing a gorgeous enchanted robe, but with a Lv. 2 mark on his forehead, rushing out of the gate of the Adventurer's Guild.

The other party's furious look instantly made Selena a little excited.

'Is it coming? The legendary fantasy world classic face-slapping scene!'

It's a pity that the pot-bellied man didn't give her this opportunity...

"Um?!"

The moment he saw Serena, the bald man was obviously stunned. Then, he took out a strange-looking item from the ring in his hand, which seemed to be some kind of magic prop. But as the strange thing flashed a dazzling deep purple light and exploded on the spot, the bald man who was supposed to be Serena's target of pretending to be awesome, slid to his knees and rushed in front of her.

"Sir, I'm Sergei, the vice president of this adventurer's guild. How can I help you?"

That extremely flattering look blocked all the pretentious rhetoric that Selina had thought of before...

"Are you the head of this adventurer's guild?"

After racking her brains for several seconds, Selena finally managed to utter this nonsense.

"It's down."

Sergey was even a little proud of this...

"So you found such a good place to let those young masters and young ladies who are ignorant of the world experience life?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Sergei's face froze instantly. And this is also the counterintuitive part of the Fallen Ark game itself. Many fantasy works like to use adventurers as the protagonists, but although Serena has not read much of the game plot, she also knows that the Adventurer Guild in this game is a purely civilian organization. The meaning of its existence is not to take on quests and fight monsters, but to allow some noble children who are obsessed with knight novels to personally experience the life that is like a "legend" story...

Obviously, the middle-aged man named Sergei standing in front of Serena also knew this. So when she asked that question, the expression on his face became obviously a little embarrassed.

In this world, the only ones who can really deal with the monster problem are either mercenaries, the army of the Grand Duchy, or legendary professionals. Adventurers are just the path chosen by those who are not capable of being mercenaries and do not want to join the army. Unfortunately, the gold rush era that once belonged to adventurers has passed. Today's adventurers are more like the product of countless second-generation nobles entertaining themselves...

After all, for them, it is simply unrealistic to have lived on the edge of a knife. A place like Sergei, where one can experience the joy of a role-playing game as long as they pay a sum of money, is the "life" they have longed for.

Therefore, after the officially-led Adventurer's Guild was replaced by the Mercenary Guild, various Adventurer's Guilds established by civilian forces also began to increase.

Unfortunately, these adventurers are not the same adventurers. They are no longer the powerful figures they once were on the continent...

Chapter 262 This little box is your forever home

"So let's be frank. I'm here for the ruins. You and your Scout Guild are responsible for providing assistance... Understand?"

Faced with Selina's ruthless words, Sergei's pupils trembled again and again.

Looks like...so much like it!

Although he just turned 40 this year and is still in the prime of life, he will never forget this tone.

It was probably more than 30 years ago, when he overheard a conversation at the door of his father's study. He still remembered that at that time, a huge underground tomb appeared in their family's farm. And the previous Sword Saint of Helen Country also spoke to his father in the same tone and made a request. And the reason why their family has grown from a small farmer to the top chamber of commerce today is because the Sword Saint left there without looking back after cleaning the underground tomb. And the mountains of gold and jewelry and priceless ancient artifacts in the tomb. Just like that, they were just ordinary farmers at the time...

"Legend...Legendary professional..."

Sergei murmured in a low voice. As a celebrity on the rich list, ordinary nobles had to be respectful when they saw him. Unless the person on the other side was a royal relative, the lords in the countryside had to kneel down and salute him. And the other party actually spoke to him in such a tone. He could figure out who this person was with his toes.

People without power will not cause trouble for themselves, and people with power but not much will make friends for themselves everywhere. Only those who truly stand at the top of this continent will not be afraid of any rules and regulations, and will do whatever they want everywhere...

"Legendary professional? Are you talking about the little girl from the Hua Yinsi family? She is just faster, but compared to the previous generation of sword masters, she can't be called a legend."

Due to the sudden increase in attributes, Serena could clearly hear the bald middle-aged man's whispering. She also knew the legendary professional he was talking about. At least before the server of Fallen Ark was shut down, the only legendary professional in the story was the new Sword Master of Helen. However, in the game, the Sword Master was not that strong. His level was obviously 100 levels higher than the player, but in the story book, she was quickly brushed away in just a dozen seconds when facing the 200-level graduation suit.

When version 3.5 was first released, this NPC who could fight at level 300+ instantly attracted countless players who wanted to gain experience. They used it as a tool to generate experience for version T0. The efficiency was even higher than hanging out in the Corrupted Forest.

However, when Selena had not yet reached the maximum level, she was not so crazy as to use this unlucky swordsman to gain experience.

First of all, the other party is a girl, and secondly, if you hit her too much, your favorability will drop...

Because that damn production team said that they would release a marriage system in the future, so XP happened to be Selina, the white-haired, big-breasted queen. She was looking forward to it very much, raising the favorability of the swordsman to the maximum, and just waiting for the day to marry him.

But I didn't expect that instead of waiting for the marriage system, I ended up waiting for the game to be finished...

"B-but... that's the Sword Master!"

Hearing Selina's words, Sergei was completely numb. As a member of the Helen Kingdom, although he is now developing in the Third Principality of Sternberg, he is very clear about the strength of the Sword Saint. She is almost at the threshold of the legendary God. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the strongest Sword Saint of all generations. But even such a person, in front of this unknown legendary professional, the evaluation is just... faster?

"Are you surprised? If you knew the strength of the first generation Sword Master, you wouldn't think she's that strong."

Hearing this, Selina just replied indifferently. The first generation swordsman of Helen Country appeared in the favorability mission of the white-haired busty queen. Although in the plot it was just a remnant soul that carried out family inheritance and trials for the current swordsman, this guy's level was as high as 550, which directly broke through the ceiling of the NPC level in the game at that time.

According to the official setting, the first Sword Saint was born as a demigod, but the current one no longer has divine blood flowing in his body...

That's why Selina said that level 200 is just the limit for players, not the limit for this game.

"Gather your people and gather all the monsters in the ruins for me. I don't want to walk in that cold and damp place for most of the day."

Ignoring Sergei's shock, Serena gave orders directly. Then, she left the confused adventurers behind and walked directly into the dilapidated wooden house...

【Lilina Steinberg】

[Level: 35 (120)]

[Occupation: Knight]

[Shield: 12500/12500]

【HP: 80000/80000】

"Ok?"

As soon as she entered the room, Serena spotted a figure who was also hiding under a black robe. The level of 120 even made her stunned for a second, wondering if she had seen it wrong.

After repeated confirmation, the opponent's level was indeed as high as level 120.

Selena walked straight up to the other person, stood still, and began to look at him unscrupulously.

It was not until the female knight was at a loss that she suddenly spoke...

"You seem to know something about that ruin."

As soon as these words were spoken, Selena instantly noticed that the knight's face hidden under the black robe showed a trace of panic.

"So it seems that you have already gone down to experience it yourself, right?"

However, Selina had no intention of letting the other party go, and instead took advantage of the victory to pursue him, causing the knight girl who had hidden her entire body under the black robe to look at her as if she were facing a great enemy.

Seeing the other party's expression, Serena instantly realized that this was the female knight mentioned in the update log...

"If you don't tell me now, you won't have the chance to help me later. I think you know in your heart that the ruins are not a place where the rookies outside can provide help. I understand your little thoughts very well, but it's a pity that small fry can only do small fry's work forever. The profession of cannon fodder is still too high-end for them."

As she spoke, Serena moved her face closer to the female knight.

In a trance, Lilina even thought she saw the corners of the other person's mouth hidden under the mask slowly curling up a little...

(PS: For those of us who don’t have the money, many of our tails have starved to death!)

Chapter 263: The Lying Noble

After an in-depth and easy-to-understand conversation, Selina, based on the principle of letting it go in one ear and out the other, managed to understand the specific details of the main storyline of this MOD.

As a staunch Skip fan, she had hardly read the plot of the game Fallen Ark before traveling through time, so when she heard the female knight talking about the cutscenes, she subconsciously looked for the skip button.

It’s a pity that games are just games after all.

After realizing that she couldn't skip this long and boring plot, she could only listen to it with helplessness and reluctance...

"I already know the general situation."
