Chapter 74 History

The reason why Sui Yu agreed so happily was actually very simple, because when Tokta just invited Sui Yu, a system window popped up in front of Sui Yu that only he could see, which read whether to accept the task "escort the caravan".

Mission name: Escort Caravan

Escort the Tokta caravan to Port Elna. Qualification for mission success: Ensure that the number of caravans and cargo losses are less than one-tenth, and a smooth arrival at Port Elna. Eliminate enemies along the way to get extra rewards!

Note: After accepting this task, it will automatically become the second link of the chain task!

Seeing this prompt, Sui Yu agreed without thinking. By comparing the strength gap between their team and other mercenary teams, Sui Yu believes that this task should be easy for them, and the biggest problem is how much time this task will waste them.

So, seeing Sui Yu agreed so happily that he didn't even ask about the amount of the reward, Tokta hesitated a little.

As the leader of the caravan, Tokta is naturally more flexible than ordinary people who have no knowledge or culture in villages and towns or mercenaries who only know how to fight and kill. At this time, after recalling the series of encounters he had happened to meet Sui Yu and his party for the first time, he couldn't help but wonder if Sui Yu and the others had planned to get close to him.

Even Tokta couldn't help but guess that from the first meeting with Sui Yu, to the later attack of the Warcraft, and then meeting again in the Mercenary Guild, it was actually a human-arranged drama!

But when he thought of the combat effectiveness of Sui Yu and others, Tokta laughed at himself and said, "Why does it take me to let this group of strong men act specifically to deceive me?"

Thinking of this, although I don’t understand why Sui Yu and his group of experts accepted his job so simply that they didn’t have much effort at first sight, Tokta still showed a passionate smile and thanked Sui Yu for his righteous actions.

It has to be admitted that in this world, personal force is the best pass. After comparing the gap between Sui Yu and others and themselves, Tokta decisively terminated those unrealistic conjectures.

Of course, Tokta also understood that although Sui Yu and the others did not say how much the employment fee would cost, he still proposed that after the task was completed, the caravan would pay 200 silver coins as compensation for this task. To be honest, the distance between an escort mission is not far. On average, ten people can earn twenty silver coins per person, and this price is already very good in the Kingdom of Taraya.

Moreover, the reward of 200 silver coins is almost half the income of Tokta's businessman. With less of this income, plus the funeral expenses of the guards in the death row, Tokta's businessman will definitely lose money.

However, in order to prevent his goods from being robbed by the thieves who were hit along the way because they were few and farewell, and Sui Yu and others did all use one as strong men, so Tokta proposed the price that was a heavy bleeding for him.

I thought Sui Yu would argue with him about the price, but Sui Yu nodded directly and agreed to the price, without any idea of ​​bargaining.

In any case, in Sui Yu's eyes, the smallest unit of money is always gold coins (in the eyes of players, only gold coins are conventional currency), so the 200 silver coins that are only equivalent to two gold coins will naturally not be seen by Sui Yu (and cannot be converted into Chaos Gold Coins). In addition, the system will have at least ten Chaos Gold Coins as a reward after the task is completed. These two hundred silver coins are an insignificant bonus in Sui Yu's eyes.

So the negotiations between the two sides ended quickly, and Sui Yu also received a notification from the system about task acceptance (in reality, there is no way to just click the confirm button to follow the task).

Then Tokta went to the counter diligently to handle the task release matters and also stored the 200 silver coins as rewards for the task at the Mercenary Guild and Sui Yu when he handed over the task.

Tokta had previously confirmed with Sui Yu that they would return to Bryce Town after completing the mission, so for fairness and justice, Tokta was very relieved to store the mission rewards in the Mercenary Guild in Bryce Town - anyway, even if Sui Yu did not complete the mission, he would pass by Bryce Town again in the future, and then he would only need to cancel the mission. The mission rewards would naturally be returned to him.

When Sui Yu took over the mission issued by Tokta on behalf of the mercenary group and got the mission scroll, Sui Yu, who had just returned to Bryce Town, was about to set off again.

Fortunately, Tokta had to deal with some wounded people and arranged the funeral of the victims for a day. On this day, Philomina decisively sent everyone except her to purchase various missing materials, while she accompanied Sui Yu to stay in the hotel and spent a happy two-point five-person world.

Yes, Angelina, who used the shadow demon as her clone, did not go out (she could not do anything with a shadow). So although Phylomina was with Sui Yu all day, she did not accomplish anything that needed harmony. Instead, Angelina used shadows from time to time to form various patterns to make her presence feel extremely angry, and she wanted to use a large-scale sustainable light magic to directly expel all the shadows in the hotel room.

After a day off (Sui Yu didn't think the difference between resting a day and usual. The key is that he received the best quality of service no matter where he lives, so he naturally didn't feel tired). Tokta finally came to find Sui Yu and invited everyone to set off together. And this guy actually customized a two-row carriage for arranging Sui Yu and others on this day.

Of course, due to the limited location, there is only Philomina in the carriage besides Sui Yu. Hakeya also has the maid Selina who is responsible for personal care and Ai Xue, who is of poor physical fitness. As for the others, they unanimously stated that they would not squeeze into the carriage as the team walked outside, and then made Sui Yu feel uncomfortable because it was too crowded.

Since there were not many people in the carriage, the carriage specially customized by Tokta seemed a little empty, so Philomina set up a tea table in the middle of the carriage that could be combined and disassembled and used to drink tea on any terrain and made a pot of black tea for Sui Yu himself.

Accompanied by the light tea fragrance, Sui Yu slowly savored the black tea while chatting with Ai Xue.

Ai Xue's knowledge is very rich, which has been known by Sui Yu and the others for a long time. However, because the previous task was quite tight, most of the time they were either rushing to get monsters. While resting in Bryce Town, Ai Xue asked for leave and didn't know where she went, so Sui Yu had already kept some questions in his heart and wanted to ask Ai Xue, but he never found an opportunity.

It happened that Ai Xue got into the carriage because she was not physically strong enough and was not suitable for following the team. Although she was in the mission, there was obviously nothing to do, so Sui Yu opened up the conversation and asked Ai Xue about the doubts he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "Ai Xue, do you know what bad things did the devil with black hair and black eyes do? Why do everyone hate the people with black hair and black eyes very much?"

Since coming to this world, Sui Yu has clearly felt the strong malice that this world has towards people with black hair and black eyes.

After knowing that this was a real world, Sui Yu once guessed whether a senior from China traveled to this world in the past did something evil that was angry and resentful, so that people in this world almost engraved their disgust for black hair and black eyes in their bones.

However, in the occasionally obtained information about black hair and black pupils, although black hair and black pupils have always played the role of ominous and evil incarnation. However, many evil things seem to be forced out in Sui Yu's eyes, and the legend of the person with black hair and black pupils who really do evil has never been heard of.

So Sui Yu has never understood why this world hates people with black hair and black eyes so much. It just so happens that Ai Xue is a very knowledgeable person, and it seems that she has a unique intelligence channel, so Sui Yu took the opportunity of chatting to ask her questions. Even if Ai Xue can't answer for a while, I believe that if there is a chance, this girl will help Sui Yu find out the answer to this question through her channel.

Originally, Sui Yu thought Ai Xue didn't know how much the answer to this question could only tell some vague rumors at most. However, he didn't expect that Ai Xue told Sui Yu very clearly about a proven history of the world.

"In fact, this question has been around for a long time. Even modern scholars are specializing in the strange puzzle of why most people think that the appearance of a devil should be black hair and black eyes."

"Yes! The legend of black hair and black eyes is a devil has always been a mystery that has not been completely solved in history!" Ai Xue took a sip of black tea with elegant manner and continued in her somewhat cold tone: "In fact, through some demons' exploration of the lower plane, we know that the appearance of the devil and the demon is actually not much different. The main difference is that the devil deceives human souls by seduction, while most of the demons collect their souls through killing after entering the main plane. Moreover, in recent investigations, it was found that the existence of the lower plane is called the devil, and there are actually not many of them with the characteristics of black hair and black eyes!"

After hearing Ai Xue's words, Sui Yu became even more confused: "Then why do you identify the black hair and black eyes as a devil? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"It can also be said that he recognized the wrong person. In fact, to be precise, he mistakenly regarded adjectives as nouns!" Ai Xue shrugged and continued: "Some archaeologists finally discovered some clues by collecting ancient books and tracing the torrent of time with the help of some prophetic magic. That is, in ancient times, humans seemed to live in a place with rich magic elements, and even without practicing, they could easily live for thousands of years like a god world. However, humans with black hair and black eyes joined forces to drive our ancestors out of that world, and sealed the channel to isolate our ancestors forever from this world of thin magic elements, wild beasts and alien races! Let us endure various disasters for generations and live a worried life!"

"I'll go, there's something going on?" Sui Yu always thought that a time traveler senior had done something that caused the people to be resented. Now it seems that there are time travelers, and it's not one but a group!

"Well!" Ai Xue nodded vigorously and said with a firm speech, "These information comes from rumors from ancient times. Moreover, from some ancestral divine objects, it is indeed possible to find that substances that are obviously not part of this world that can only appear in the high demon plane. This also matches the rumors that our ancestors were driven out of the paradise!"

However, as soon as they said this, Ai Xue continued to say to everyone in confusion: "However, although this judgment has become the mainstream view in the academic world, some scholars still believe that what is recorded in history may not be true. The basis for their proposal is the fact that the proportion of black hair and black pupils appearing is almost zero."

"Since our ancestors had lived with people with black hair and black pupils, theoretically speaking, there should be more and more people with black hair and black pupils among us. But you have noticed it now. Although there are people with all kinds of hair and black pupils, only people with black hair and black pupils can hardly see this ratio. Even if the black hair and black pupils are persecuted, nature has reduced the probability of birth of black hair and black pupils in its choice, it is not clear how the black hair and black pupils who drove our ancestors out of the paradise gathered such powerful power and number."

Sui Yu swallowed a piece of pastry and made a reservation. After suddenly hearing that there was a group of black-haired and black-eyed people in this world, he felt a little confused. He now suspected that the people with black-haired and black-eyed people who gathered together might be a group of time travelers.

Although this speculation is very nonsense. He himself is a time traveler, and this kind of thing has really happened. So Sui Yu couldn't help but guess whether there would have been a group of time travelers from the same place as him in that world called Paradise!

However, it is urgent to inquire about the specific information of that paradise, so he planned to point the topic to the paradise: "Speaking of this, why do black-haired and black-eyed people in the world gather together and drive away all other compatriots with hair color. They distinguish the enemy and me according to the hair color pupils. They are also enemies of the humans in the world. How stupid people can make such an exclusive decision? And he has succeeded!"

"That's true." Ai Xue was originally a member of the popular stream. After hearing what Sui Yu said, he suddenly found that the historical truth discovered by scholars seemed to have many questions.

Then Sui Yu asked Ai Xue casually: "So do you know where that paradise is?"

Shaking his head, Ai Xue said to Sui Yu: "Don't think about this question anymore. Since all humans were driven out of the paradise by people with black hair and black eyes, the argument that the seeds of hatred for black hair and black eyes have been planted since ancient times has become an authoritative argument. Now scholars mainly study the issue of how to find the paradise path, but after so many years, they have no idea! Alas! If that paradise really exists and we can return, then the paradise may be a perfect world that allows humans to live a happy life without worries!"

"There is no perfection in the world at all, right?" Sui Yu shrugged, but although Ai Xue advised him not to think too much, he still put the world called paradise in his heart. No matter what, even if those black hair and black eyes are not their own compatriots, at least they have some connections. If possible, Sui Yu still wants to go to that paradise to be a guest.

In the following time, Sui Yu no longer asked questions about the black hair and black eyes that seemed to have become a mystery for the ages, but began to learn more about Ai Xue during the chat.

Sui Yu always feels that Ai Xue seems to be a girl with a story, and her behavior and conversation prove that this girl is definitely not something that ordinary families can raise.

Sure enough, during the chat, Sui Yu learned that Ai Xue seemed to be from a noble family, and that Ai Xue himself had also gone to the Griffin Empire to study abroad.

Most of her profound knowledge comes from the Imperial Magic Academy in the Griffin Empire.

Only then did Sui Yu realize that in this world where strength is paramount, there is really a college dedicated to cultivating professionals.

Originally, the Warriors had inquiries from many sources that there was a magic martial arts academy for ordinary people in the Taraya Kingdom (the Warriors naturally wanted to quickly obtain information about the world through the academy), and Sui Yu thought that in order to stabilize class rule, the world prohibited the establishment of a civilian academy. Now he realized that the relationship was because the Taraya Kingdom lacked national strength, so it was impossible to open an academy.

In the southwest of the Principal of Felicis, the griffin empire, which is as large as more than twenty talaya kingdoms, has established several colleges that can continuously provide talents for the empire, and even open to recruit students. Even people from the Talaya kingdom can study.

After obtaining this information, Sui Yu quietly used message magic to tell Philomina. When he had time, he asked Angelina to pass the news back to Avalon through the Shadow Demon. Rise was worried that he would not be able to master the magic technology of this world. If he sent someone to study in the Griffon Empire, Rise would soon be able to master the basic magic skills of this world (as for high-end technology, as long as the leader of the Griffon Empire is not a brainless person, Sui Yu would not have to imagine that he could simply obtain it through the academy)!

As for why he had to carry Ai Xue on his back, there was no way. Sui Yu really wanted to believe in a quasi-war hero like Ai Xue as easily as in the game world, but this was the real world, and he was also responsible for Avalon and the war hero.

If I easily believe Ai Xue and let her know too many secrets, what if Ai Xue exposed Avalon's intelligence and attracted the strong people in this world?

Although I have never played, I have no idea what the outcome would be if the battle was fought, but be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship. Before I thoroughly understand the world, Sui Yu decided to hide himself as much as possible, and at the same time, he worked hard to manage Avalon and constantly enrich his trump card.

Just as Sui Yu was holding black tea to make a gesture to taste tea, he was actually muttering with Philomina through message magic, the carriage was slightly shocked and stopped.
