Chapter 249: The Attitude of the Great Noble
"Welcome, Mr. Tang Mo."
Following the polite butler into the luxurious villa, Tang Mo found that "New World" was very sophisticated.
The scene of the game has an obvious medieval style, but the technical worship of the Industrial Revolution is added to the details.
In the carefully manicured courtyard, the ancient mage statue stands in the center of the fountain, which shows that this world has been influenced by at least two different trends of thought.
As a writer of historical online articles, Tang Mo is also very interested in the history, culture and style of other countries. He is also quite picky when playing games. He will immediately lose interest and leave if something is a little careless.
Because of this, he had a soft spot for Fangcheng Studio's games. Especially after Fangcheng perfectly restored his novel "Tian Mo", he decided to buy three copies of Fangcheng Studio's games at once. One part to play, one part to collect, one part to preach.
Walking in the courtyard of the villa, Tang Mo admired the surrounding scenery intoxicatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
This mission is right.
Not long ago, the game operator released a temporary mission. Players who accept the mission may be selected to become the tutor of a great noble, responsible for teaching the children of the great noble and himself.
After successfully accepting this task, you can get a lot of experience, and it is not a problem to directly activate the second-level skills.
Tang Mo originally just took the task with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he won the task in one go and was assigned to a fifth-level noble's home as his tutor.
There are fifteen levels in the aristocratic system of Efat, with the first level being the highest and having only seven persons, and the fifteenth level being the lowest.
Its noble positions can be hereditary and split. A high-level noble position can be split into two lower-level positions, but this rarely happens.
The fifth-level nobles are already quite prominent figures. They can control most of the resources in Yifat, and can decide the livelihood of 100,000 people with just one sentence.
And although on the surface, they are only in Efat, their management scope actually includes the vast scattered settlements and various resource deposits nearby.
A city is like a kingdom, except that the territory of this kingdom is extremely scattered.
Following the housekeeper into the luxurious villa, Tang Mo found that the fifth-level nobleman had been waiting with his wife and children for a long time.
They were well dressed and behaved elegantly. After seeing Tang Mo, they were neither humble nor overbearing. They bowed politely and then personally brought Tang Mo to the living room.
The musicians began to play music, and their superb acting skills made their volume just right, not overpowering the guests, but also making the guests feel comfortable. This skill cannot be honed over decades, and only nobles can have such rich funds to support these musicians.
Inviting Tang Mo to sit down on the chair in the living room, the fifth-level nobleman rubbed his mustache, the ends of his beard shining brightly under the light.
"Welcome, the apostle of the God of Education, I am the fifth-level noble of Efat, you can call me Kevin. This is my wife, this is my mistress, this is my wife's mistress, this is my Child, this is my wife's child, this is our child..."
Although he had known for a long time that the relationship between NPCs in the game might be confusing, after actually seeing it, Tang Mo felt that his ethics were a little more conservative.
After finally introducing his family, Kevin asked the others to leave, leaving only the butler by his side.
"You should have received the message from the God of Education. I don't want to go against the oracle of the God of Education, so I will give you the greatest support. But I only have a small request. I like historical stories, so if If you want to advise me, I hope I can find examples from history books, okay?"
The other party's request was a bit strange, and it sounded like it was to set up obstacles for Tang Mo so that the other party would not restrain him.
After all, the apostle of the God of Education is here to restrain the words and deeds of the nobles. No one wants another father to appear above them.
Sometimes, not even the biological father can do it.
Faced with the other party's request, Tang Mo, instead of being angry, was actually a little happy.
You can read books for free without doing anything, and you get paid to read books. Where can you find this kind of thing?
When I was playing "The World's No. 1", I still relied on the World's No. 1 storyteller to read books. I didn't expect that now I can actually have sex for nothing. Can such a good thing be allowed to escape?
So Tang Mo readily agreed, which surprised Kevin.
But immediately, he happily summoned his butler, asked the butler to take Tang Mo to the library, and ordered the butler to meet any request that Tang Mo had that was not excessive.
Tang Mo was also excited when he saw Kevin's library.
As if a hungry ghost saw delicious food and a perverted ghost came to the second dimension, Tang Mo threw himself at the bookshelf with a cry, picked up a book and started reading.
The price of these books is not low. After all, the papermaking industry has not yet become popular. Although people can make a piece of paper, each piece of paper is made by hand.
They need to repeatedly beat the fibers of the wood until they are dispersed, and then use a fine board to pick up the pulp and shape it. Those with uneven texture in the middle are used to write letters, and those with uniform texture and perfect texture can be used to bind books.
The paper cost of a book alone is dozens of silver coins. In order to match the cost of the book, the ink must be an expensive pen that will not fade for a long time, which further increases the price of the book.
But now, the huge library is open to Tang Mo, and all kinds of expensive books are available to read. This kind of good thing is really rare.
Realizing that Tang Mo was already intoxicated with books, the old housekeeper quietly retreated and closed the door without even making a sound.
Tang Mo opened the book and found that it was a mythical book.
[The world was originally chaotic and disorderly. After the Lord God was born in the form of a cat, he found that this world was no longer worth cherishing. ]
[The Lord God left his beard and left here. Its beard slowly grew, and its own consciousness was born in the shadow. She is the goddess of mercy. ]
[The loving goddess saw the tragic situation here and thought it was tragic. The goddess' tears attracted the attention of the outside god, who sympathized with the goddess's plight and lent his power to the goddess. ]
[The goddess began to rely on the power of external gods to reconstruct the world, and a world full of loopholes gradually took shape. The goddess created all living things from the remnants of the world, and the goddess lent her power to the priests. The former high priests relied on the power of the goddess to build more than a dozen cities, and Efat was one of them. ]
[First-level nobles are the descendants of the high priests, and their bloodline is noble and pure. The fifth-level nobles are the guards of the high priest, and their loyalty is sacred and strong. The world deserves to be run by them. ]
After flipping through the entire book quickly, Tang Mo felt that although it was a myth, there were many things in it that reflected reality.
It is estimated that this is also related to the late formation of the entire city. The history of Efat and other large cities is only a few hundred years, and myths and history are still confused together, and there are many real parts in them.
After excerpting the content that interested him, Tang Mo started to read the second book.
The book is "The Sorcerer's Mystery" by an unknown author. At the beginning of the book, the author elaborates on the fact that magic is just talent and cannot be acquired.
Magic is a loophole in the world. When a child is born, there is a problem with the laws in his body, resulting in him being born with the ability to see and control loopholes in the world.
However, this ability is both a blessing and a curse. The loopholes in the world will give the magician great power, but it will also make the other party hear the whispers from the shadows every moment.
These shadows are located in the loopholes of the world. Unlike shadow particles, these whispers pollute not the physical body, but the soul of the magician.
Over time, magicians will inevitably be corrupted by the shadows. Some magicians will degenerate into dark mages and start traveling around to spread the gospel of the shadows.
Because power comes from loopholes, magicians will be somewhat powerless in a place protected by divine power like Efat. Only by going outside can they exert their strongest power.
This also causes magicians to live in isolation. They are either silently pursuing the truth through loopholes, or looking for ways to lift their own curses. Most magicians will eventually fall into madness, and then merge with the shadow and become a terrifying darkness. mage.
"No wonder I've heard rumors about magicians, but I've never seen one. It turns out that's the reason."
After reading this book, Tang Mo looked at the world outside the barrier and felt a little yearning.
"New World" currently only opens one area, Yifate, while the City of Sin is still under construction. More gameplay will be opened and more surprises will be brought.
When Tang Mo thought that there were more and more interesting ways to play, he felt like a hundred monkeys were scratching his chest, making him eager to see the DLC right away.
After forcing himself to calm down, Tang Mo continued reading.
It is true that Efat has a short history of several hundred years, and its population and surrounding villages and towns are not too large. There seem to be many books produced by various scholars, but most of them are repeating other people's old paths without much innovation.
Therefore, although he read slowly at first, after knowing the routines of these people, Tang Mo began to read ten lines at a time, only stopping for a moment when some interesting points appeared, and then quickly skipped them.
With this reading skill, he actually read all the books in the library in a short period of time, and made most of the contents into cheat sheets to facilitate his cheating.
Players, isn't it a normal thing to do a little bit to provide yourself with some convenience?
Seeing Tang Mo leave the library, the old housekeeper quickly told Kevin about this, and the latter quickly came here and received Tang Mo as soon as he came out of seclusion.
Opening his arms, Kevin said exaggeratedly: "Mr. Tang Mo, welcome! Looking at you, you must have learned a lot, right?" "
Are you imitating your great-great-great-grandfather?"
"What?" "
'If If you really care about me, bring me wine and meat, instead of just standing there like a piece of wood!' This is what your great-great-grandfather said to his son after he came back from the dead. But compared to death, As for resurrection, I prefer to believe that Big Brother faked his death and came back to life after being put in a coffin."
Kevin's eyes widened, and he froze when combing his mustache, and even broke off one of his mustaches.
Tang Mo's tone of voice was vivid, restoring the situation of the ancestor back then, and also made Kevin discover that the apostle was smarter than imagined.
After careful testing several times, Kevin discovered that Tang Mo not only knew the general outline, but could even find the original text with just a little recall, and then retell it intact.
Tang Mo alone would definitely not be able to memorize all the content, but the game group he was in had many similar situations to him. Everyone shared it together, and finally compiled a plug-in. Just enter some vague words and it will work. You can find similar records in the game.
With the efforts of hundreds of people, it is really easy to deal with a Kevin.
Kevin didn't know Tang Mo's efforts for this task, but this did not hinder his admiration for Tang Mo.
In his opinion, Tang Mo was definitely the most beloved apostle of the God of Education, and he came down to earth this time to save the world and drive away ignorance.
Tang Mo also felt that he would soon be able to show his prominence and use his abilities to influence the direction of the game.
But it turned out that he thought too much.
Kevin did not let Tang Mo start teaching him, but took him to various parties frequently, sometimes three or four times a day.
At the party, he packaged Tang Mo as his tutor and claimed that all the other party's talents came from the God of Education and that he knew everything.
Such an exaggerated description naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people, but after trying it several times, they had to admit that Tang Mo's memory was indeed amazing.
The provocations of these people further enhanced Tang Mo's reputation, making him famous and causing him to begin to face more challenges.
In the process, he even met players like him, and they fought like crickets with each other. Although he won in the end, Tang Mo still felt very uncomfortable.
He is here to teach Kevin, not to be taken out to fight!
Finally, Tang Mo, who couldn't bear it anymore, found Kevin and told him that his time was precious and could not be wasted at these boring parties.
He's here to do big things!
After knowing Tang Mo's thoughts, Kevin pondered for a moment, and then asked: "So, what do you want to teach me?" "
About the principles of life and the attitude towards civilians."
Knowing that Tang Mo just wanted to teach me Kevin breathed a sigh of relief at these contents, and then said: "I'm sorry, I did ignore your feelings before, but I can make up for it. How do you want me to treat the people?"
Tang Mo immediately said a lot, including raising wages and housing. , ensuring medical care and education, etc.
These are all clichés, but Kevin still nodded frequently, listened attentively, and recorded them on paper.
He promised that he would implement it, but first he would attend a party with me tonight, where a third-level noble would appear. This opportunity was not common.
Before leaving, he handed the recording paper to the housekeeper and pushed Tang Mo away.
There is only one sentence on the paper: "Leave him alone."
