-【Reality】
Javelin: “Are we starting now?”
Nagashima: "Don't be impatient. Before you start, you need to determine your personal abilities."
Nagashima: "Each person takes three 3-sided dice and determines the values of their [Strength], [Skill], and [Intelligence]. The values you get after rolling are what you get. No cheating allowed!"
(Excel formula 0-20 to get a random value)
Javelin couldn't contain his excitement. He first took the dice of fate, held it in his hands, shook it while muttering to himself, and finally threw it onto the table.
"The words are so small... [8] [19] [2]?"
Changdao looked at the [19] with a frown, and began to write the settings helplessly, "I should have set it to [100] earlier. How can I play after throwing out [19]..."
Javelin was extremely happy. "The full score is 20? Then I must have had a great start. Hehe... what's that [2]?"
Nagashima laughed strangely, "Strength 8, Skill 19, Intelligence 2~"
Javelin pointed at his nose for a long time, "...So I'm an idiot?"
"Not necessarily, this should represent many things..."
Ayanami took the dice and threw them casually. "And at least we don't need a locksmith anymore... Hmm, [8] [10] [20]"
Nagashima, who was about to laugh at the joke, was extremely surprised and quickly leaned over the table to confirm it carefully.
"Duo Shao? 20?! Officer, you didn't work in a casino before, did you?!"
Ayanami looked at her expressionlessly, "...the Military Police."
"Ahahaha... I'm just kidding, but can't I just roll it again? It's not fun to play if the value is too high."
"... Just tell me how much you lost."
"Uh...how about changing the dissatisfaction value to 100 and maintaining your points?"
Javelin shook his head vigorously. "Then I will become even more stupid. I won't change."
...Yu, switch to Nimi-chan!" Nagashima gritted his teeth and secretly complained, "Then don't blame me for increasing your strength!"
Z23 was quite nervous, mainly because the first two players both had their strengths: one had superb skills, and the other had great intelligence.
According to the point of view that everyone has their own strengths, it would be best for her to throw out a high amount of [Power], so that there is no need to worry about the team having shortcomings.
But luck is such a thing...
Z23 picked up the dice and looked at it carefully twice before throwing it away worriedly. The dice rolled a few times and finally the full value appeared.
The total value of the three subjects
“【11】, 【1】, 【8】.” Nagashima was afraid that the other party would cheat, so he read out the numbers loudly and quickly recorded them. “That fits his character very well. A berserker with no skills.”
"Um... Sorry, it's up to you, Rafi." Z23 said, handing the dice to the archer
Rafi was not that nervous. She wanted to go to the bathroom to hug the commander, but she was in public, with her relatives and friends all looking at her, so she couldn't leave.
So she had to calm down and continue the game.
"..【4】【7】,【13】, well...Lafite is not the lowest."
Z23 was devastated, and Javelin was busy comforting him. Ayanami, who was experienced in the game, took the opportunity to propose the first choice since the start of the game.
【game】
Ayanami: "...Since it's a crusade, we should have some support before we set out, right? Hmm...I want to meet the king before we set out."
Of course, the king happily held a banquet and promised in front of all his ministers that he would definitely agree to anything that would help rescue the princess.
Javelin: "I see... Then I want the best sword and shield! They should be in the treasury, right?"
The king listened to the request made by the sword and shield warrior, hesitated for a moment, and then refused.
Javelin: "Why?! Didn't you say you would agree to anything that would help rescue the princess?!"
Hearing the doubts from the brave man in the audience, the king shook his head slightly and explained: I can't believe you. After all, your ignorance is known to everyone. You won't be able to use it even if I give it to you.
javelin:???
"...Maybe my intelligence is too low?" Ayanami thought for a moment, "I want the best magic wand, the kind with a hard texture... Do you have one?"
The king agreed to the fighter's request without hesitation, and did not question what the brave man who specialized in martial arts wanted to do with the magic wand.
Javelin's eyes widened. "Is this how geniuses are treated?! I'm shocked..."
Z23 remembered that she was smarter than the javelin in terms of setting, so she also made a request, asking the king to grant her the sharpest double swords or double axes.
The king squinted his eyes at the brave man and asked him a few questions casually. Finding that the man's answers were confusing and illogical, he shook his head again.
Z23 was puzzled. "Isn't my [Intelligence] [8]? Why can't it work? The requirements are too high... Didn't they say that it should be determined by dice?"
Ayanami, holding a magic wand that looks like a bird's head, has seen through everything.
"...Because I have low skills and can't convince people without eloquence..."
"This is too weird!" Javelin complained while hugging his friend's arm, "Now we have one idiot and one who can't speak. We've already lost half the game..."
Z23 once again turned his attention to the team's last hope, the expressionless archer Rafi.
The king, who was very generous to normal people, took a closer look at the bored brave man. Although he was a little weak, he didn't look too stupid.
What do you want? the king asked with interest.
Rafi yawned, "...I want to sleep, huh?!"
Javelin: “Ahahahaha… what she wanted to say was… was…
Ayanami: "...Ruoshui."
Javelin: “Huh?”
Ayanami: "Just give Ruoshui... that's all."
The king was surprised, pointed at Ayanami who was holding the eagle-beaked wand and said with a smile: You boy, you are really a smart man, it worked out.
So the four brave men, some with expectations and some with regrets, packed their bags and set out from the royal city.
Chapter 1149 A Messy Adventure (2
In order to find out the truth behind the sudden attack on the royal city, the four of them took orders and headed towards the demon capital.
The fighter Ayanami has been practicing in the mountains for many years, living in caves for a long time, eating fruits and drinking dew, so he is penniless. He only has the magic wand given by the emperor, with his name engraved on it.
【Staff of Seal】
Javelin believed in chivalry since childhood and was a compassionate person. He gave most of his money to poor civilians and could not afford the rental of his carriage.
Z23 used to be a gambler. He was very wealthy but lost all his fortune not long ago.
Fortunately, he was very strong and his fighting style was extremely fierce, which allowed him to stand out from many competitors and win the spot as a brave warrior.
As for Lafite, she doesn't hunt during the day or practice archery at night. She was chosen purely because of her good archery skills.
After all, as a martial artist, everyone has the dream of catching a knife with bare hands, but in reality, it becomes cannon fodder for catching arrows with your face to achieve the skill of casual archery.
Rafi's opponent was just like that. He managed to push her into the team fighting against the demons by giving away heads.
Four people like this couldn't even get a penny together, so how could they afford to rent a car and travel?
"How about I steal one, or rob a horse?" Z23, a gambler with no moral bottom line, rubbed his hands.
The javelin on the same team immediately shook his head and said, "No, the chariot is someone else's chariot and the horse is someone else's horse. How can you steal someone else's chariot and rob someone else's horse?"
Before Z23 could retort, the moral Javelin added, "Although I am not smart, I know that you can't drive a cart without a horse, and a horse without a cart is useless. You must want both."
"That's better than walking, right? This place is too far from the Demon King's Castle!"
Z23 curled his lips, knowing that he couldn't communicate with this old-fashioned man, so he looked at the other two teammates.
"How about voting? Archery, what do you think?"
Rafi: “Walking is so tiring…”
"Very good, two votes." Z23 looked at Ayanami again, "You use the stick as a decoration, what about you?"
Ayanami picked up two large stones without saying a word, stuffed them into her bag under the puzzled gazes of the other three, then took a deep breath and walked forward.
"Life... is a journey of practice."
"Ha~ 2 to 2? Let's just walk quietly." Javelin happily took Ayanami's arm and hurried on.
Z23 and Lafite looked at each other and had to follow. The four of them left the royal city and set foot on the road
This is a flat and wide dirt road, which is obviously often trampled by horse hoofs and wheels, so there are no potholes and it is easy to walk on.
There were ankle-high weeds growing on both sides of the road, with a few scattered weeds about knee-high, and the juicy stems seemed like they would break with a slight bend.
Z23: "There aren't many flowers. It's boring."
Lafite: "I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore, someone come and help me..."
Javelin: "Let me carry you. Take care of yourself."
Ayanami: "I want to see if there are any clues here."
The fighter's clever mind kept her awake at all times, and without any additional reminders, she carefully stepped into the grass and walked to the taller plants.
Javelin: "I want to find some clues, too."
The kindhearted but dull swordsman, who was at the bottom of the intelligence hierarchy, put down Lafite and stepped in.
Unfortunately, she only trampled the grass and flattened small patches of plants and found nothing.
Ayanami: "This place is not far from the royal city, and except for a few main roads, it is all covered with the same grass."
Javelin: "What does this mean?"
Rafi: “I’m too lazy to think…”
Ayanami: "The demons that attacked the royal city in large numbers may have been lurking inside the royal city, because there are no signs of gathering to attack outside the city..."
Javelin: "Magic! They used space magic!"
Z23: "I don't quite understand. I only know that he is very strong and can make bricks fly. Even if he knows magic, he can't beat me at close range, right?"
Rafi: "Can you please go faster...? I don't want to sleep on the grass at night..."
The javelin, having accomplished nothing, returned in frustration, put the lazy archer on his back, and continued walking steadily along the road.
They walked from dawn to dusk without seeing a single person.
Javelin: "Maybe they heard something happened here, so they don't dare to come?"
Ayanami: "...The area around the royal city should be very prosperous. Even if everyone has fled, the houses are still there. We should be there soon."
Rafi: "Huh Zzzz..."
Z23: "I hope there is someone there. I only need a little capital and I can make a comeback immediately!"
Javelin: "You can't gamble. You'll only get deeper and deeper into trouble. It's all a scam."
Z23: "You have a point, but there will always be people who benefit in the early stages of a scam, otherwise how can they continue to deceive you? I just need to..."
Ayanami: "I saw the house."
Javelin: "Oh, thank goodness, I'll keep an eye on you, Nimi-chan."
Z23: "Shout."
The four heroes who were not familiar with each other at the beginning had some friction with each other, but overall they were still harmonious.
After walking for a day, they finally entered a small town with a stone wall as high as a person.
The town is bustling with vendors hawking all kinds of goods at stalls everywhere. The cobblestone roads are very comfortable to walk on and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing.
Rafi was awakened by the noise, and he gathered his energy and tried to get off the javelin.
Ayanami: "Let's go find a place to stay first, and then I'll go out and get some food."
Z23: "Let's split up and gather here in an hour. Otherwise, we'll have to wait a long time to eat."
Javelin: "That's fine, I'll go see if there's anyone who needs help, maybe I can get a gift from a kind-hearted person."
Rafi: "...Yeah, that makes sense."
Ayanami looked at the three members who had different thoughts and nodded, "Okay, then we'll split up first. I'll go outside the town to look for food."
