Chapter 70 Princes 3
If Prince Yijiu wants to ascend the throne as the emperor, there is an obstacle that must be overcome, that is, the ancestors of the Zhou people, Hou Ji, who has been appointed as the gods. If you step over, you will have legitimacy. If you can't step over, you will not even have the qualifications.
In Zhang Cheng's initial idea, after becoming a god, Hou Ji actually had no big demand for things in the world (referring to the various evil gods identified by Zhou Shi, they are still very prosperous). He theoretically would choose the one who is most capable as the next emperor. From the history of the earth, it can be seen that this King Ping of Zhou is a real "ping", that is, a mediocre person, and later even a "Zhou Zheng exchange" came. Zhou Shi, as the emperor, actually exchanged hostages with Zheng State, as a prince, which simply threw Zhou Shi's face on Mars. In contrast, another King of Zhou Xie is called "Zhou Hui King", one "Hui" and the other "ping". The difference in abilities of the two people can be seen from the literal literal way. In other words, Hou Ji's possibility of choosing King of Zhou Xie is much greater than that of choosing King Ping of Zhou.
Zhang Chuanglai thought that the historical line of this world would be on a completely different development track. But now it seems that things are not that simple.
Sure enough, there is no fortress in the world that cannot be defeated. Even gods can be bribed. Yes, now Zhang Cheng understands that the great witch is a gift that is enough to bribe gods!
But, if you want to catch a living witch, come back...
Zhang Cheng had been with the wizard in Xiaxu for a short time, so he knew that this was absolutely unrest.
First of all, the great witch is very strong... Taking the wizard as a reference, we can see that the great witches are all very strong spellcasters. I don’t know how strong they are, but judging from the performance of the wizard, they are at least an elite spellcaster at level 13. Secondly, the great witch has a high social status. In other words, under normal circumstances, you don’t have the chance to fight the great witch one-on-one, and others will definitely follow the guards. Finally, the great witch is not only knowledgeable, but also has some strange abilities, such as psychics, divination, etc.
For example, that divination is simply cheating. As a comrade, he has excellent abilities. He predicts whether it is good or bad today, whether it is good or bad to herd sheep or prepare for war. But as an enemy, it is a very troublesome ability, which means that you basically don’t want to attack the great witch. You spend a lot of time figuring out the daily actions of the great witch and then plan to have an ambush. As a result, you just got ambushed, and someone found a "big evil" in divination and didn’t go out directly.
But... looking at Doctor Kunwu and Mr. Huang, Zhang Cheng knew that he could not refuse such a request. At the same time, he also knew that if he did not consider the ability of his brigade master, relying on his level 12 mage and level 12 death warrior, it would be impossible to catch a great witch back. Doctor Kunwu would never know about this.
If you want to catch the wizard alone, then Zhang Cheng probably thinks that he must be at least level 17, which means that he must be able to use at least level 8 spells. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called performing a mission, it would be called to die. This means that Doctor Kunwu must have some arrangements and preparations. Of course, it's another matter whether this arrangement is reliable or not. The last time he went to compete for the sect of the Nine Yishu Division is the best example.
He simply stopped talking, but watched Dr. Kunwu walk to his desk, carefully took out a regular box from it, took out a rolled scroll from it, and placed it on the desk.
Zhang Cheng and Huang Gong went over to see it, but they saw it was a map.
"This is..." Mr. Huang looked shocked. "Jiuzhou Map?"
Although Zhang Cheng was not surprised, he knew that in this wilderness era, the most precious thing was knowledge. Especially this kind of map, it was even more unimaginable. Not to mention anything else, when marching and fighting, the party without a map was like a blind man, and he suffered a lot. Yes, this map looked like a relatively rough type, but you wouldn't expect to get a fine map of one to two thousand these days.
But this map...how to say, it is very different from the earth. There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng seems to have traveled to a certain era similar to the history of the earth, but in fact the two worlds are not so close. The national terrain is completely different.
There is no Sichuan Basin that Zhang Cheng is familiar with, no Guanzhong Plain that he is familiar with, no Hengduan Mountains, no Taihang Mountains, no Bohai Sea, and even no Taiwan Island. It is hard to say that the terrain structure of this world itself is like this, or due to the technology limitations of this era, there is no way to draw an accurate map. Everyone just thinks that this world is like this.
"In the past, Yu established the Jiuzhou, so this map was found." Huang Gong was obviously the first time he saw this map, and he was very sad. "Later, he collected gold from Jiuzhou and cast nine tripods, and carved this map on top of the nine tripods. Only Kunwu family owned a copy of such treasures."
Although Kunwu only has one Kunwu city and a fief of a doctor, it was indeed a vast expanse before. They were once the most firm and trusted princes in the Xia Dynasty, so they had the opportunity to copy this map. Of course, to be told, according to the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, Kunwu's holding of such treasures is definitely illegal and illegal. If you want to be discovered by outsiders, then Kunwu will either present it to the emperor or prepare to start his second exile. This is why he has always kept this kind of thing, even if it is a confidant like Huang Gong, it is the first time he has seen it.
"Kunwu City... should be here." Huang Gong pointed at an insignificant point on the map. Zhang Cheng stared at that location for a long time, sure that this was really just a remote corner.
Doctor Kunwu walked up and pointed to a certain place in the map: "This is Yizhou Baguo. I have always heard that there are great witches here. There are no other foreign players here, and it is almost impossible to achieve it with strength. But I heard that the Ba people are barbaric, ignorant and greedy. If they are deceived with words and interests, the chance is still great. I once heard about the travel and business talks, and seeing that although the distance is not far, the road is dangerous, here... to come here," his fingers drew on the map, and it can be seen that it is necessary to cross a mountain. "This distance takes three months to walk normally."
"Ba Country? Ba Land... Does this have anything to do with Ba Snake?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"Young Master Zhang Cheng has also heard of Ba Snake?" Huang Gong interrupted. "Ba Snake is a famous spirit. It is said that many of the Ba people believe in Him."
So there is no need to think about this place. Zhang Cheng felt that the matter of Bashe who had swore to chase him at the beginning could never have ended. In fact, Bashe just didn't have this opportunity.
"And here, Bai Di!" Doctor Kunwu pointed to a place above the map. This ancient map shows that this is a mountainous area, but not a steep mountainous area. "There are many Bai Di in the north of Jizhou. They are the survivors of Tang Yao and Yu Shun. There should be some great witches here. Bai Di is arrogant and is said to be in harmony inside. If you can disguise the envoy of the emperor... there is a great opportunity to lure one or two great witches here."
It turns out that in the eyes of Doctor Kunwu, the main way to catch the witch is to lure them. It is up to you to trick them into your own territory, and then steam them and cook them. This is indeed different from what Zhang Cheng thought before.
In addition, what the hell is Bai Di? I feel a bit strange when I hear this name. Needless to say, Bai Di is the same as Chi Di, Quan Rong, Zi Lu, Xiongnu, etc. It can be simply considered as a nomadic people in the north. Or it is an alliance of different tribes of the same ethnic minority. But it is obviously not the case in this world. Bai Di is an independent race. I just don’t know which race is called “Bai Di”.
"And here, Dongyi!" Doctor Kunwu pointed to the right of the map with his hand. "There is chaos within the Dongyi, and there has been an internal conflict between Xu and Qunshu. But the specific situation is unclear. It is difficult to find out here. Dongyi has always been unruly. When it is bad, it directly fights against the Zhou emperor. When it is good, it is also erratic. Moreover, it is also turbulent here. However, the benefits are also that Qi and Lu are great powers, and they are confronting Dongyi for a long time. As long as you have the chance, you can borrow the Qilu army. I can write a letter to you, and Qilu should help."
"Doctor, I heard before that there are many great witches in Philadelphia." Zhang Cheng asked tentatively.
"Those are not possible." Doctor Kunwu shook his head. "The great witches of Zhuxia are not within our considerations, only those of foreign races can do it." His finger pointed to another place. "Jingchu wants to attack the Southern Barbarians, and there may be opportunities to fight here. However, I don't know much about the specific situation of the Southern Barbarians, so I can only act according to the opportunity." He suddenly sighed. "In the final analysis, you have to rely on you to adapt to the situation and act according to the opportunity."
"Doctor, I am a little uninformed in this way. If I miss the doctor's big deal..."
"You just need to do your best!" Dr. Kunwu suddenly walked down from his position and stood in front of Zhang Cheng face to face. He was actually quite tall, half a head taller than Zhang Cheng. This kind of close-range gaze puts a lot of pressure.
"Doctor..." Zhang Cheng didn't know what Dr. Kunwu was trying to do in this posture, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Zhang Cheng, do you know where this Xu Country is?"
Xu Guo is Xu Guo, a trivial baron country. Zhang Cheng wanted to answer this, but he was keenly aware that there must be a special statement from Doctor Kunwu saying this.
"This Xu Kingdom is the old place of my Kunwu family." said the Kunwu doctor. "Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Kunwu family were defeated by Cheng Tang, and the old land was destroyed. Therefore, the Kunwu family was wandering around and the emperor enthroned it, which was to restore my Kunwu family's homeland."
Doctor Kunwu suddenly bowed and gave a big gift.
This is a class society, and this kind of etiquette is definitely not the etiquette of the monarch to his ministers. Zhang Cheng quickly stepped forward to support him, but Doctor Kunwu refused to get up.
"Zhang Cheng, this fact is... extremely important to my Kunwu clan." He completed the entire gift before standing up straight again. "Once I succeed, I will never treat you badly. If this happens, I will appoint you as a border town doctor!"
Border town doctor...
Wait, what is the task of upgrading the sergeant to a doctor in the Quanrong game? Act 4 or the final act 5?
As mentioned earlier, due to the different identities you chose at the beginning, the tasks of upgrading the identity class in the entire game are also quite different. Zhang Cheng only encountered the task of being promoted to a doctor once (the other few passes basically did not meet this requirement). He remembered that he would receive a special task in Act 4 or Act 5. This task is very special, which is to cover the NPC that released the task and escape from the enemy's nest. Players must complete almost all other tasks in Act 4 before they can take on this task. Because once they take on this task, all the NPCs in Act 4 will become red names, that is, play.
The family is hostile. This task is simple and simple, and it is difficult. It is simple because if you make sufficient preparations in advance and kill some key NPCs in advance, it is a simple task. But if you forcefully break... the difficulty is not ordinary. It can be said that you basically have no chance to cover this NPC to escape. Not to mention NPC, you can't even escape. Moreover, the NPC is simply a terrible burden, slow movements, bad levels, and low health points, which is simply a cheating thing. Of course, players have the ability to read and save disks to protect themselves, and everything is possible.
Once this task is completed, you will see him again next time and know that he is a big shot. Then, you will be given a task and will be promoted to a doctor after completing the task. Of course, the premise for taking this task is that you are a scholar and must be a sergeant. Otherwise, NPC will not give you this task at all.
If it were reality... Zhang Cheng would never take on this mission. Even if he reached the highest level 19 of the game and was fully armed, he would not take on it. Because it was really too dangerous.
Then he went out of a city full of enemies.
In other words, is this a mission that has nothing to do with the game... Zhang Cheng lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes. Sure enough, this mission "Looking for the Great Witch" appeared on the panel.
The task description is simple and clear, "Doctor Kunwu asked you to find a great witch to bring it back. This is a key thing related to Doctor Kunwu's promotion to the princes. He allows or even encourages you to use any means and any method."
The mission reward is also very direct, "You will be enthroned as a border town doctor."
Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a little moved. Combined with reality, he already understood that the title in the game was a false seal, just a false doctor. You don’t really have a castle, a territory, and a bunch of subordinates like vassals and retainers. In other words, you only get the title of a "doctor" rather than becoming the lord of a city.
And this is already considered a generous reward. NPC dialogues in the game are full of this flavor.
"Although you saved me, you should still be grateful to me. I will promote you to a doctor. There will never be such a generous monarch elsewhere." NPC will say this type of words afterwards. Of course, the specific words are definitely not so simple and explicit, but this is what it means.
Doctor Kunwu directly gave the reward from the Border Town Doctor.
After a little comparison, you will understand how generous reward this kind of enthronement of the actual territory is. Perhaps as a wizard, Zhang Chuangshen did not care about the territory, but he knew that in this wilderness era, this was the best reward a monarch could give his subordinates.
"Doctors don't have to do this," Zhang Cheng replied. Doctor Kunwu has never treated him badly, and can even be said to be very kind to him. "I will do my best."
Chapter completed!
