"Get up."
In the quiet courtyard, Adil spoke softly as he looked at Lera, who was kneeling on the ground. He then personally helped Lera up, and his expression became gentler.
Since Lera was already his student, his attitude and treatment would naturally be different from before.
"You've just woken up. Rest well for the next few days."
Looking at Lera, Adil said, "After this period is over and everyone else has woken up, you can return to your military camp.
"As for this period of time …"
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand. Under Lera's stunned gaze, faint lights lit up on his fingertips and were transmitted to his body.
As the light was transmitted to his body, a large amount of information suddenly appeared in his mind. It was complicated and exquisite. On the first line of the information, a few words were written: Dyer's Breathing Technique.
This was the Dyer's Breathing Technique that Adil had organized. In the past year, Lera had also practiced it. However, compared to the one he had obtained previously, this one was undoubtedly much more profound and complicated. There were many deeper descriptions in many areas, allowing one to go further.
"This is!" Sensing the large amount of information that appeared in his mind, Lera was elated. However, before he could say anything, he heard Adil continue to speak.
"Don't be idle during this period of rest."
Glancing at Lera, Adil's expression was unreadable. "There's the Knight Seed that I've implanted in your body. You should be able to practice this Breathing Technique very quickly.
"After you advance to a Great Knight, I'll teach you other things."
"Yes!" Hearing this, Lera's expression became serious, and a strong sense of joy appeared in his eyes.
Looking at his expression, Adil nodded. Then, with a gust of wind, his entire body turned into a shadow and disappeared.
After leaving Lera's place, Adil went to other places.
As the real world was completely annexed, players like Lera were gradually starting to wake up. However, there was also a difference between them.
Due to individual differences, there were differences in the speed at which players woke up. For example, Lera was already one of the fastest to wake up. Most players were still in a deep sleep and had not woken up at all.
Of course, some players did not wake up, but some players could never wake up.
A few days ago, Adil had discovered that some of the players' bodies had automatically died at some point in time. They did not seem to have any abnormalities, and it was as if they had died a normal death.
This meant that something had happened to the players themselves. After all, at the final juncture of the world fusion, even the real world was not a safe place. There were all sorts of monsters and natural disasters, so it was not surprising for mortals to die there.
Once a player died in the real world, the consequences would naturally be reflected in this world, ultimately resulting in the death of the player's body in this world.
"However, the focus now is not on these players, but on the ordinary survivors …"
Walking back to his courtyard, Adil lowered his head and fell into deep thought. "Although the quality of the players is not bad, and the world's blessing on them is generally more concentrated than that of ordinary people, they are still in the minority. In terms of numbers, they are inferior to those ordinary people."
Although they were called ordinary people, they might not be ordinary people.
The living beings in the real world had been receiving feedback from the world's consciousness for decades. Now, most of the people who were able to reach this world alive had the aptitude.
Perhaps in terms of quality, these original ordinary people could not compare to the players. However, the absolute number of people could make up for all of this, and no one could ignore them.
How many people were there in the real world?
Adil was not very clear about this question, but according to the size of a world, it was at least calculated in units of hundreds of millions.
Even after experiencing all sorts of natural disasters and the constant invasion of monsters from other worlds, the number of people who could ultimately arrive in this world alive would not be less than hundreds of millions.
With such a huge number, even if only one-tenth of these hundreds of millions of people had the aptitude to become Knights and Sorcerers, it would still be an incredible number.
This was like a seed with great potential. Perhaps nothing could be seen before it germinated, but once it germinated, the power that it erupted with was enough to shock and frighten anyone.
Of course, although the potential of this seed was terrifying, it was not easy to unleash this potential.
The simplest restriction was the limitation of resources.
Any system would consume resources. Whether it was Knights or Sorcerers, they were both large users of resources. In the coastal area where Adil was born, many Sorcerer families had to spend all of their family assets to support a Sorcerer. This showed the ability of the Sorcerer system to consume resources.
The requirements of the Knight system were relatively less, but the Knight system was also more dangerous. This was because without the various kinds of potions refined by Sorcerers, the speed at which a Knight wanted to improve would be extremely slow, so slow that it was unbearable.
Moreover, in the later stages, the resources that a Knight needed would instead be above that of the Sorcerer system.
Just to become a Source Starter Knight, one would need the pure bloodline of an ancient creature. However, how could this be something that ordinary people could obtain?
In addition to the limitation of resources, there were also constraints such as teachers, environment, time, and other conditions. It was destined that it was impossible for everyone to embark on the path of Extraordinary. Only some of the elites could be chosen.
However, in addition to these conditions, the potential of this seed could also be clearly foreseen. As long as it could be unleashed, it would be enough to shock countless people.
… …
"Your Highness, there's news from the governor stationed in other places."
One morning, in a very luxurious hall, the officials of Sisli City were discussing the next affairs of Elka State.
In the crowd, Lu Xiu was wearing a bright red robe. His face was glowing, and he looked very spirited.
"Within the boundaries of Elka State, there are a large number of outsiders pouring in from various cities. They don't speak the same language, and they're wearing exquisite clothes. They've all squeezed into the surrounding cities."
Standing in the middle of the conference hall and being watched by the surrounding officials, Lu Xiu's expression was calm. He handed over the prepared materials in his hand and said, "Because there are too many people pouring in, the cities are almost unable to squeeze in anymore. Therefore, the governors of the various cities have sent people to ask if we should expel these refugees?"
"Expelled?" Hearing this, the people present frowned. One of them could not help but ask, "How many people are there to the point of being expelled?"
As they spoke, the people around them could not help but look at Lu Xiu. Obviously, they also wanted to know the answer.
One had to know that expelling refugees was something that had never been done in Elka State ever since Adil came.
Elka State was located in a remote area. Not only was it backward, there were many wild beasts and mosquitoes, but it also had a sparse population and a lack of labor force.
Therefore, ever since Adil settled in Elka State, apart from suppressing bandits, he had always put great effort into recruiting refugees. Usually, he would only recruit refugees from the surrounding areas. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to expel them.
As the governors of various cities, if they could recruit refugees, it would be a political achievement in itself. With a large number of outsiders settling in, they could not wait to welcome them. Why would they think of expelling them?
This question was reflected in everyone's mind in an instant. Only Lera and a few other players beside Adil seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed slightly.
"There are too many of them."
Speaking of this, Lu Xiu's expression gradually became solemn. "According to the reports of the various governors, there are at least hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring in from almost every city. The total number of outsiders in the entire Elka State could reach millions, or even more!"
"What!!"
"That's impossible!!"
"Oh my god!!"
As soon as he said that, exclamations erupted from every corner. The voices were filled with unconcealable shock and disbelief.
"Millions of refugees!!"
In the crowd, a skinny, white-haired, middle-aged man dressed in formal attire had a shocked expression. He looked at Lu Xiu in front of him with his eyes wide open. "Governor, I'm not doubting what you said. It's just that the figures reported by the governors of various regions … Is there a big problem?"
He said with some hesitation. He did not believe that the figures were real from the bottom of his heart.
It was no wonder. After all, how many people were there in the entire Elka State?
According to Adil's estimation, even if the natives that had not been subdued were included, there were at most a few million.
Now, just the number of outsiders pouring in was already this many. One could not help but be suspicious.
"A few days ago, when we just received the news, His Highness had already specially sent people to confirm it."
Feeling the gazes from the surroundings, Lu Xiu revealed a bitter smile. "There is indeed a big problem with these figures. However, it's not that they've overreported. On the contrary, they might have underreported …"
"In fact, there are at least hundreds of thousands of outsiders gathered in the nearby western city. As time continues to pass, the number will continue to increase."
As soon as he said that, the place instantly fell into a dead silence.
Around him, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. Just as they were about to open their mouths to continue asking, they heard a voice from above.
"Alright, regarding the problem of the number of refugees, there's no need to question it anymore."
