Chapter 641: More Fun in the Game

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In this prosperous city, people from different places thronged on the streets.
One could always hear news about the neighboring nations while being here.
“What’s happening?” Seeing the godly palace knights all over the streets, one mercenary complained.
“Didn’t you hear that the Judgement Godly Palace is searching and arresting assassins all over the world?” another mercenary whispered, “I wonder what the assassins did to them. Obviously, the assassins enraged the people of the godly palace.”
“I heard that they were humiliated by an assassin in the Elf Clan; I wonder if that’s true…” the mercenaries talked among themselves in low voices.
“It might be true…” another person surmised, “It’s no wonder that they are making a big deal of it. I remember the Dulan Workshop once boasting about bringing their new mystical realm into the Elf Clan, but they no longer talk about it anymore.”
Obviously, these mercenaries were not stupid and could figure out the rough edges of the whole situation from some clues.
“But I think… this is about it; they don’t dare do anything outrageous here,” a mercenary wearing dark brown leather armor glanced around and said.
“Our Morning Light Empire is a free nation that allows people to believe anything they want, which is why we don’t see anything outrageous here. You can go and have a look in the neighboring nation. It’s a nation that believes in the God of Judgement, and the whole nation is helping them capture the assassins. There’s no hiding place for assassins in that nation! I heard that they had captured many assassins and planned to execute them together.”
“More! I heard that those assassins captured during the assassination attempt of Luther in Grey Eagle City will be executed too.”
At this moment, a few figures passed them, and they suddenly stopped.
Harrison clenched his fists, and his shoulder shivered slightly.
“Calm down! They want to lure us over!” Another assassin tightly grabbed onto him.
“I know…” Harrison roared hoarsely, “But they are our peers! Our brothers and sisters! Does the Brotherhood know about it?! They should fight for freedom instead of being hung on the godly palace’s scaffold!”
The low-profiled, middle-aged assassin who had grown up in a slum lost his usual composure.
“We should let more peers know about free will and the master assassins. I think they will like this place as we do!” Harrison said, “We’ll move in stealth and perform the leap of faith together; it doesn’t matter even if we’re discovered.”
“During our free time, we can drink Cappuccino and talk about the stories in Assassin’s Creed.” He described his ideal life in a mild voice. Then, this middle-aged man’s voice broke into a sob. “I want them to know that we’re not lowly and filthy mice; I want them to know that being an assassin is a great profession! Do you know… I have plans for them…”
“They shouldn’t be hung on the damn scaffold!”
…
“Ugh? How come this shop is closed?” While they talked, the mercenaries passed a shop selling alchemy items and found that it had been shut down.
“Isn’t this the Merlin Workshop’s alchemy item shop? How come it’s closed?” Obviously, this mercenary used to buy alchemy items from this shop. “What happened…”
“I wonder how the people in this shop had dealings with assassins?” At this moment, another group of people passed the shop, pointing at it while they talked.
“I have no idea. But I heard that one assassin used a sword made by the Merlin Alchemy Workshop in an assassination attempt on some priests and even broke a priest’s protective godly spell with this sword…”
“The Rebel’s Blade?” The Rebel’s Blade had once appeared in a rebellion in the Radiant Light Godly Nation, and this blade full of curses had once broken the godly spell barrier set up in the anti-mage array.
“It seems similar, but it obviously isn’t as powerful as that legendary sword,” another person said.
“But I heard that the owner of the shop hasn’t been captured yet, so he probably escaped to another nation, which is why all the shops have been closed.”
“It’s a good shop though… Alas! Let’s move on.”
…
“Sir, is the trailer out today?”
“Sir, it’s still not released today?”
Almost everyday day, the elves came into the shop eagerly in anticipation.
So did the mercenaries who lived in the city and the knights of Golden Griffin Knight Legion.
Obviously, today’s trailer was more informative.
In fact, Fang Qi was watching it too since this trailer wasn’t introducing the game’s background; Fang Qi knew those things too well.
This trailer showed how to play the game and operate in the game.
Obviously, the new version of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 not only increased the degree of freedom and openness but added extra content and details.
For example, in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1, Li Xiaoyao was the only main character, and players could only choose him to play the game.
In the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, there were two main characters which were Jing Tian and Xu Changqing. The story was told from their respective perspectives in alternation.
However, when the players played as Jing Tian, they didn’t know what Xu Changqing was doing and couldn’t choose to play Xu Changqing either. The same happened when they played Xu Changqing.
The system remake of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was different.
In the trailer, everyone watched Murong Ziying practicing sword techniques in the Qionghua Faction and saw some scenes about his daily interaction with his nephew-disciples. Those scenes happened before he met Yun Tianhe. The players could unlock the storyline of Murong Ziying and play the game from his perspective after playing as Yun Tianhe to a certain level.
Besides, the trailer demonstrated how to play as Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha whom could only be played by female players.
Different from the original game in which the players could only choose one of the four characters to play, the trailer showed that in the new version, four players could enter multi-player mode and control Yun Tianhe, Murong Ziying, Liu Mengli, and Han Lingsha respectively.
However, in this mode, the players had to trigger different plots and interactions. In single-player mode, most of the events were trigger automatically and were as real as possible.
Of course, if the four players controlled the four characters to go anywhere and do whatever they wanted, the plot of the Legend of the Sword and Fairly 4 couldn’t continue properly, which was why the system had improved the game mode while giving players a greater degree of freedom.
It was a blessing to the players who liked to play the games together with their friends.
