But before starting the research on World Tree, there is one thing that needs to be solved during this short journey.
Just like Fen gained a follower who fell in love with and killed each other in the past, Lin also gained a little follower behind him, and that was the King of the Elf Kingdom of Pyat Jaime─Ridan III.
Perhaps it was because his previous speech was too presumptuous, and because at that time no one was able to realize the fact that the sunny boy in front of him was the head of a country, so all kinds of speeches and bad ideas did not take into account the status gap between the two parties.
Strictly speaking, someone's behavior is not uncommon in the Lost Lands. And this is also the main reason why the masters are not welcomed by the nobles and some people who think that they have noble status and blood.
However, the king who came to the throne too early failed to make a few true friends and seemed to fall into this trap instead.
Originally, according to someone's idea, the young king had some interest in his aunt, Liena Titov. But now the Elf Sword Dancer and Fen are having a passionate affair, and they don't even have the slightest idea of hiding their relationship. With jealousy intertwined, how could an adolescent boy not fall into that inexplicable nest of troubles.
The young king is not angry or immersed in sadness and sentimentality. This can be regarded as a very good psychological quality and good self-adjustment. If it goes according to someone's personality, even if he doesn't take a knife to stab the adulterer to death, he will definitely hide from a distance and stay out of sight.
Unexpectedly, this person actually changed his target and got entangled with a time traveler who believed that his sexual orientation was normal.
Could it be that elves like this from the bottom of their hearts? People of the opposite sex are only there to carry on the family line, but true love is for people of the same sex.
If he hadn't been a king, he would have seen him once and kicked him away once. Someone is thinking this in his heart.
However, since there was no way to kick the opponent away, unless he wanted to break up with the more than 500 elven troops around him, Lin could only find other ways to divert the king's attention again.
From the conversation, it can be found that Xiao Ridan's focus is on some trivial matters in life, or some low-end adventurous life, which is completely different from Jermaine's focus on new knowledge from the earth.
If you always talk about some of your own dark history, it would be bad if you tell others that you shouldn't. So of course someone had to think of some way to avoid having to think about things that he had almost forgotten, to satisfy the young king's thirst for knowledge.
If it's professional knowledge in magic, or methods of running a country, picking up girls, etc., someone doesn't dare to talk big. But if you just want to pass the time and shift the focus, the entertainment culture of the earth will be impossible to catch up with if people from all over the world ride on dragons.
As the saying goes, 'Fullness and warmth make you think about sex, while hunger and cold make you want to steal your heart.' 'Midi is still in the latter stage. In a situation where most people can't even have enough food and clothing, it certainly won't be able to develop a booming entertainment industry like Earth. Simply put, there are too few people who have enough to eat and leisure to do.
It is not difficult to find one of the many entertainment projects on the earth that can satisfy this young elf king and is something that someone can do at this stage. It would be too unrealistic to directly release a set of Marvel movies for people to watch. A game of mahjong, poker or something like that is only suitable for the elderly nobles who are hungry and waiting to die every day. It cannot satisfy the young people's desire for adventure.
So to satisfy that adventurous heart, what could be more suitable than an RPG game. Midi also has a magic network with similar functions to a computer. It can write programs, so making a game is not a big problem.
But even for small-category games, it’s a big project that can’t be completed in a day or two. So Lin chose another easier path, TRPG, which is also very popular on earth. The preparation is relatively simple, requiring only a rule book, a few character cards, and a storyteller. Of course, the most important thing is a dice.
Maybe I am not a die-hard TRPG fan, but at least I have played enough RPG games and I have not read the relevant rules. Even if you can't completely reproduce the ADD rule book, you can still get a rough idea and make up a few percent of it, which should be enough to satisfy the caged bird-like king.
After a day or two of rough preparation, although most of the time was spent on writing the rules, the more troublesome thing was making the 'fair' twenty-sided die. I don’t want to get too many kinds of dice, and just making the twenty-sided die by hand will make someone almost vomit blood.
Originally, I found a piece of wood on the roadside and started carving it casually. The thing was completed quickly, and then when I tried rolling the dice, I always got three numbers, 2, 4, and 20. If any other number is thrown, it must hit some concave and convex spot on the table to make it possible. This kind of dice, which could only be used for cheating, was directly thrown into the fire by someone and burned.
In the end, I took out a piece of magic metal, used magic shaping techniques, and combined it with my own three-dimensional design drawing production process. I also precisely calculated the slight weight loss after carving out the digital grooves, and then adjusted the center of gravity of the metal and revised it several times. I finally made a usable twenty-sided die.
Everything was ready. On a not-so-cool night, after dinner, Ridan III came to someone's tent to visit. Lin asked two apprentices to invite a few people.
There cannot be too many participants in TRPG, so the TRPG that was released for the first time in Midi, Lin selected the sacrifices... The participants are the young elf king Ridan III; the future leader of the Silverbeard Dwarves, which will make people feel that this race Jermaine, who has no hope for the future; the lich who has been resurrected in the world after a thousand years - Fenni Tikal; and the adventurer, the Elf Sword Dancer - Liena Tikal, who retired from active service not long ago Tov.
Since everyone except himself was an inexperienced novice, Lin found some time in advance to create some level 1 characters that he thought were pretty good. There are a warrior template, a thief template, a magician template, a druid template, and an archer template, one for each male and female, a total of ten initial characters, and the character cards have been made.
These character cards, including rule books, are stored in the form of forum e-books. Moreover, the relevant probability calculation formulas are also programmed with special calculators to save calculation time. Of course, the formula is open and transparent, and the calculation results can be verified at any time. Because the main source of probability is not the random number table, but the actual twenty-sided die.
After all, Midi's paper, ink, etc. are still luxuries, so don't waste them if you can. The forum series of magic that utilizes the power of magic stones can be regarded as almost cost-free in terms of static and simple presentation. Someone just created a deformed product between a TRPG and a computer game. But so what, no one has seen the original version anyway.
So before everyone gathered, Lin next to the campfire used a green-eyed high-end magic stone as a carrier to use three-dimensional imaging to project a map with a very exquisite real-life terrain. When the invited people and the young king came one after another, someone closed his eyes and said nothing, showing off to the extreme.
"Teacher, everyone is here." Kaya reminded someone who had her eyes closed. This was what Lin had confessed in advance to prevent himself from overdoing his pretense and being criticized. That lich won't be polite.
The map in front of them is so detailed that you can see the treetops shaking. It still attracts a group of people who have never seen it or don't see it often. Except for the lich and his two apprentices, everyone else was attracted by this beautiful map. In addition, I just can't figure out what medicine someone is selling in his gourd, and I'm making random guesses in my mind.
Opening his eyes and looking at the crowd, Lin spoke in a solemn and low voice: "Adventurers, welcome to my world, the continent of Faerun. I am the host of this game, and also the continent of Faerun." The gods of the continent. And a selected few of you will participate in it and embark on an adventure."
"Oh, are you a god? Great?"
The lich with a slight smile and the sword dancer clinging to her side looked like they wanted to test someone's strength. Someone quickly stopped them and returned to his normal tone and said: "Don't do it, this is just a role-playing game. You are not yourself, but these people. -" At the same time, someone showed the designed characters Ka, "——You who participate in the game are playing these characters and embarking on adventures in this fictional world. And I am mainly a storyteller."
Except for Ridan III, everyone else had little interest in the so-called game. After all, there are really not many entertainments that can be played in the land that are on the table. But they could also see that this was prepared for the young king. So everyone, including Liena, made up their mind to support him once or twice, and then everyone did their own thing.
After roughly explaining the rules to everyone, this gratifying TRPG adventure is about to begin. The selection of characters is determined by participants rolling dice after numbering the ten character cards prepared in the early stage. Anyway, no one understands it, so we can only let someone manipulate it. As for whether you are satisfied with the character card you got, it doesn't matter.
The two apprentices each have their own tasks. Since there is only one dice, Harumi holds a silver plate and takes it to the person who needs it to roll the dice. And someone also emphasized the way to throw the dice, holding the dice in your hand, turning your palm over at a certain height, and letting the dice fall freely until it stops completely.
I want to emphasize this point because there are many people here. It is really not difficult for them to do some tricks with their hands to make the dice fall to the side they want. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the use of fair methods.
Kaya is responsible for recording everyone's adventure stories. Although Lin, the DM, was mainly responsible for calculation and judgment, someone thought it would be interesting to record these things.
So Lin used that deep voice again to tell a story. An orphan saw an unexplainable sight in his dream. All stories begin in Candlekeep...
Five minutes later, Jermaine smashed the stone he was sitting on with one hand and cursed: "What kind of shit game is this!"
Although I don’t know when I said this term, let the silver-bearded dwarf hear it. But unlike other dumbfounded people, Lin held his head and asked the sky without words. He wondered what kind of event he had just hosted.
There is a warehouse in front.
Go in and take a look.
There are rats and spiders.
Looks like it should be easy to deal with.
I'm on.
Then I GG...
