However, before starting the research on the World Tree, there was one thing that needed to be solved during this short journey.
Just like Finn had an extra follower who loved and hated each other in the past, Lin also had an extra follower behind him. It was the king of the Piat Haime Elven Kingdom, Ridan the Third.
Perhaps it was because he spoke too presumptuously before, or because a certain someone didn't realize that the sunny boy in front of him was the king of a country. Therefore, he didn't take into account the difference in status between the two sides.
Strictly speaking, a certain someone's behavior was not uncommon in the Land of Confusion. This was also the main reason why mages weren't liked by nobles and those who thought of themselves as noble.
However, the king who ascended the throne too early didn't make many true friends. Instead, he seemed to fall for this trick.
Originally, according to a certain someone's idea, the young king was a little interested in his aunt, Liana Titov. But now the Elven Sword Dancer and Finn were in a passionate relationship, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of hiding this relationship. Under the situation of jealousy, how could the adolescent boy not fall into an inexplicable nest of troubles?
The fact that the young king was not enraged, nor was he immersed in sorrow and melancholy, was a sign of his excellent psychological quality and self-adjustment. According to a certain someone's personality, even if he didn't take a knife and stab the adulterous couple, he would definitely hide far away. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Unexpectedly, the king actually changed his target and pestered a certain transmigrator who thought that his sexual orientation was normal.
Could it be that the elves were all fond of this kind of thing? The opposite sex only wanted to carry on the family line, while the same sex was true love.
If he wasn't a king, he would definitely kick him away every time he saw him. A certain someone thought so in his heart.
However, since there was no way to kick him away, unless he wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality with the more than 500 elves around him, Lin could only find other ways to divert the king's attention again.
From the conversation, it could be found that Ridan's focus was on some trivial things in life or some low-level adventuring life. It was completely different from Jermaine's focus on the new knowledge from Earth.
If he kept talking about his own dark history, it would be bad if he talked about things that he shouldn't talk about. Therefore, a certain someone had to think of a way to satisfy the young king's thirst for knowledge so that he wouldn't have to rack his brains to think of things that he had almost forgotten.
If it was professional knowledge in magic, ruling a country, or picking up girls, Roland wouldn't have dared to brag. However, if it was purely to pass time and divert the focus, the entertainment culture on Earth was a mystery. Even if the entire world rode a dragon to chase after it, it would be impossible to catch up.
As the saying goes, 'When one is full and warm, one thinks of lust; when one is cold, one thinks of stealing.' The Mystic Land was still in the latter stage. In a situation where most people did not even have enough food and clothing, of course, it would not be able to develop a thriving entertainment industry like on Earth. To put it simply, there were too few people who had nothing to do.
And it was not difficult to find something that could satisfy the young Elf King among the many entertainment activities on Earth, and it was something that someone could do at this stage. It would be too impractical to show a whole set of Marvel movies to people. Mahjong, poker, and the like were only suitable for the elderly nobles who ate their fill and waited for death every day. They could not satisfy the young people's thirst for adventure.
So to satisfy that adventurous heart, what could be more suitable than an RPG game? The Mystic Land also had a magic network that functioned similar to a computer. It could write programs, so making a game was not a big problem.
However, even a skit game was a big project that could not be completed in a day or two. Therefore, Roland chose an easier path, the TRPG, which was also quite popular on Earth. The preparation for that was relatively simple. It only needed a rule book, a few character cards, and a storyteller. Of course, the most important thing was a die.
Maybe he was not a die-hard TRPG fan, but he had played a lot of RPG games and had read the relevant rules. Even if he couldn't completely recreate the rule book of ADD, he should be able to come up with a rough idea and fill in a few parts of it. It should be enough to satisfy the king who was like a caged bird.
After a day or two of rough preparations, although most of the time was spent on writing the rules, the more troublesome part was still making the "fair" twenty-sided die. He didn't want to make too many kinds of dice. Also, just making the twenty-sided die by hand was enough to make someone vomit blood.
Originally, he had found a random piece of wood on the side of the road and carved it casually. Soon, he was finished. Then, he tried to roll the die, but it always showed three numbers: 2, 4, and 20. If he rolled other numbers, it would only be possible if he hit a bump on the table. This kind of die that could only be used for cheating was directly thrown into the fire and burned.
In the end, he still took out a piece of magical metal and used Magical Shaping. Together with his own three-dimensional design, he calculated the small weightlessness after carving the number grooves and adjusted the metal's center of gravity. After a few rounds of modification, he finally made a usable twenty-faced die.
Everything was ready. On a cool night, before Ridan the Third came to visit Lin's tent after dinner, Lin asked two of his apprentices to invite a few people.
There couldn't be too many participants in TRPG, so for the first TRPG in the mysterious land, Lin chose the participants. The participants were the young King of the Elves, Ridan the Third; the future leader of the Silver Dwarves, Jermaine; the Lich, Fanny Tikal, who was resurrected in this world after a thousand years; and the Elven Sword Dancer, Riana Titov, an adventurer who had retired from active service not long ago.
Because other than himself, they were all inexperienced newbies, so Lin found time to create some level 1 characters that he thought were good. Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Druid, and Archer, one for each gender. There were a total of ten early level characters, and Character Cards were made.
These character cards, including the rule book, were all stored in the form of e-books on the forum. Moreover, the relevant probability calculation formulas were also programmed into a special calculator to save time. Of course, the formulas were open and transparent, and the calculation results could be verified at any time. Because the main source of probability was not the random number table, but the actual 20-sided die.
After all, the paper and ink in the mysterious land were still luxuries, and it was best not to waste them. The forum series of spells that used the magic stone's power almost didn't cost anything in terms of static and simple presentation. Just like that, Lin created a deformed product that was a cross between TRPG and a computer game. But so what? No one had seen the original version anyway.
Therefore, before everyone gathered, in the forest next to the bonfire, he used a Green Eye Magic Stone as a carrier to cast a 3D Imaging Spell, projecting a rather exquisite map of the terrain. When the invited people and the young king arrived one after another, Lin closed his eyes and didn't say a word, showing off to the extreme.
"Teacher, everyone's here," Kaya reminded Lin Sheng, who had his eyes closed. This was what Lin had told her in advance, so that he wouldn't be hit on the head if he showed off too much. That Lich wouldn't be polite.
The map in front of them was so detailed that they could almost see the treetops shaking. It attracted a group of people who hadn't seen it before or didn't often see it. Apart from the Lich and his two apprentices, everyone else was attracted by the exquisite map. They also didn't know what Lin Sheng was up to, and were making wild guesses in their minds.
Lin opened his eyes and looked at everyone. With a solemn and deep voice, he began the opening speech. "Adventurers, welcome to my world, the Faerun Continent. I'm the host of this game, and also the god of this continent. As for the few of you who have been selected, you will participate in an adventure. "
"Oh, are you a god? Are you very great? "
The Lich smiled faintly, and the sword dancer next to her looked like they wanted to test Lin Sheng's strength. Lin Sheng quickly stopped them and said in his usual tone, "Don't fight. This is just a role-playing game. You're not yourself, but these people. " As he spoke, he showed them the character cards he had designed. "You're participating in the game. You're playing as these characters and have an adventure in this fictional world. And my main role is to be a storyteller. "
Apart from Ridan the Third, everyone else was not interested in the so-called game. After all, there were only a few entertainment activities in the land of mystery. But they could also see that this was prepared for the young king. Therefore, everyone, including Li Ena, made up their minds to show their support once or twice. After that, they would go their separate ways.
After explaining the rules to everyone, this delightful TRPG adventure was about to begin. As for the character selection, it was decided by the participants rolling a die after the ten character cards had been prepared beforehand were numbered. Since they didn't know anything about it, they could only let Lin Sheng do whatever he wanted. As for whether they were satisfied with the character cards, it didn't matter.
The two apprentices each had their own mission. Because there was only one die, Hallumi held a silver plate and rolled it in front of the person who needed it. And Lin Sheng especially emphasized the method of rolling the die. He held the die in his hand and flipped it over his palm at a certain height, letting the die fall freely until it completely stopped.
The reason why he wanted to emphasize this point was because of the kind of people present. If they wanted to do something to make the dice fall to the side they wanted, it would not be difficult for them. So he had to emphasize the use of a fair method.
And Kaya was responsible for recording everyone's adventure story. Although the main calculation and judgment was still done by Lin, Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng felt that it would be interesting to record these things.
So Lin Sheng used his deep voice to tell a story. An orphan saw an inexplicable scene in his dream. The story began in Candlekeep …
Five minutes later, Jermaine smashed the rock he was sitting on and scolded, "What kind of sh * t game is this!"
Although he didn't know when he said this word and let the silver bearded dwarf hear it. But unlike the others who were dumbfounded, Lin Yi held his head and looked at the sky speechlessly. He wondered what he had just presided over.
There was a warehouse in front.
Go in and take a look.
There were rats and spiders.
It should be easy to deal with.
I went in.
And then I GG …
