Chapter 1: The Falling Guild ()

"Have you heard that? The old Red from the Thunder Killing Guild picked up an apprentice."

"I heard that I heard that, but I heard that I have black hair and dark eyes? I look so handsome."

"I heard that, they said that his skin is whiter than snow and smoother than jade. I really don't know how he maintained it."

"It's a sin! Old Red actually let that white jade-like boy be his repair apprentice..."

"Tsk tsk, if I picked up that boy..."

In Nam Town at noon in summer, even wild dogs and mosquitoes will hide, but the hot and dry weather cannot stop the burning gossip fire. Several women of the aunt-level level are hiding under a banyan tree, discussing the most popular topics in the town recently. Moreover, this topic has been hot for many days. Not only has it not faded with time, it has become more and more enthusiastic.

This town is located on the edge of the Liyuan Desert. There are often countless adventurers and mercenaries coming and going, but the combined one hundred mercenaries and adventurers do not talk much about the topic of one person.

As a figure in the center of public opinion in Nam Town recently, Yao Yan feels that he is under great pressure.

Nothing else is because of Yao Yan's appearance. Yao Yan's appearance is sunny and handsome in that world. However, I don't know what went wrong when traveling through time. Perhaps it was because of the strange space that caused the turbulence of time, which made Yao Yan live more and more. Now Yao Yan looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and has become a little handsome man with star eyebrows, broad eyes, red lips and white teeth. Only when he is looking carefully can he find some shadows of the past. In this hot place, even the young lady who hides in the deep boudoir and never goes out of the door, she has three fingers of calluses and skin comparable to black charcoal.

There is no way, the sun here is so vicious. If you stand in the sun for a while, you can molt down layer by layer like an insect.

In this world, it seems that all men are big and thick, and they always have a beard. At least all the men Yao Yan saw in this small town have this image. If it weren't for Dad Red's insistence that he had experienced and clear-headed, those aunts might have regarded him as a little girl.

Yao Yan, who wrapped a headscarf and blocked the vicious sunlight, quickly stuffed the headscarf and covered his face, so as not to let these aunts who have been gossiping for nearly two months recognize him.

In fact, Yao Yan was not troubled by such things in the past, because Yao Yan didn't understand this language very well, but now, he can use this language very fluently to communicate with people.

All of this is because of my father's careful teaching. From the time Yao Yan fell to the horse shed in the backyard of my father's house, my father took care of him meticulously. Although others said that my father wanted to find a free apprentice, Yao Yan was still very fond of him. Even if he wanted to learn how to repair machinery, he proposed it himself.

Nam Town is not big, with a permanent population of about 3,000, which is not as big as a larger village in the world before. However, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete. Although the town has poor resources, it is not poor. All this is because of the wasteland outside the town.

These days, Yao Yan has already had enough understanding of the world.

This is a broken world, composed of countless broken continents suspended in the void. Each continent is of different sizes. The small one is like an ordinary island, while the large one is even larger than a continent or even a planet that Yao Yan understood. In this broken world, there are solar prominences that are so hot that steel can turn into clouds, there are eternal ice oceans that are so cold that the air can freeze, there are melting plains that keep blowing out hurricanes, and there are steel junglees that are filled with endless lightning... God seemed to have made a joke, sweeping all the fragments of the world, gathering them together, and it becomes this world. And between each continent, there is an endless void, called the crack realm. Only people with extraordinarily powerful abilities or using powerful tools can cross the crack realm and reach another continent.

Countless magical races reproduce here, countless gods develop believers here, countless forces fight for power and profit here, countless camps divide their territory here, countless strong people emerge here, and fall down again.

In such a world, if you want to live a better life, you must master strength, and if you want to master strength, you have to mention a net.

Although this web cannot be seen or touched, it is real, like a spider web hidden in the corner of a wall. If it does not get close to the past, it will not be able to find its traces at all.

No one knows how this net was formed. Perhaps this net is the most original force in this world and the embodiment of the will of this world itself. This net is spread throughout the broken world, whether it is the Dragon Clan floating island with a height of tens of thousands of meters or the endless abyss hundreds of thousands of meters underground, it is all within the cover of this net.

This net, in the mouth of the believers of the Holy Light, is the Holy Light; in the mouth of the believers of the darkness, is the darkness; in the mouth of the free mage, is the magic power, and in the mouth of the fearless warrior, is the power.

The most popular way to call this website is Magic Net.

After endless cultivation, someone can touch this net, and then he becomes a "magic net walker" and has the ability to strengthen himself through the magic net.

The magic network has many nodes, and each node represents the ultimate power in a certain direction. If someone can touch this node, then he has the power to become a god or create a god.

Gods are a combination of faith and demon nets, and are a power of faith. When many people believe in one direction and are willing to give everything for it, the pious faith combined with the demon net can become the power of the gods. After becoming a god, they have the authority to allocate the power of the demon net, and allocate the power of the demon net more to more pious people in exchange for more faith. If the rules set by the gods are violated, the gods will be reduced to the power of the demon net, which has formed countless god-centered camps. Some of these camps are religions, some families, some guilds, and even some gangs.

In addition to the Magic Net Walker, there are some people in this world who do not rely on Magic Net, but rely on their own talents and their own strength. However, in this world, the achievements these people can make are much smaller than those of Magic Net Walker, and their future development is narrower. They are called independents. In fact, in this world, 99% of the people with power are independents. There are always civilians and nobles in this world. The independents are civilians among those with power, and the magic Net Walker is nobles. The magic Net Walker enjoys the resources that the independents do not have, have a much better environment than them, a much higher development space than them, and a much faster cultivation speed than them.

Most of the people who come to this town are independents, because this wasteland is rich in something particularly important to independents.

Not being able to touch the magic net does not mean that one cannot have power, but one cannot become a profession that requires faith, such as paladins, priests, etc., without going through the magic net, you can still manipulate the powerful power that exists in your body, the powerful power brought by anger, become a fearless warrior, the power brought by elements, become a mage, the power brought by nature, become a ranger...

However, without the support of the Magic Net, their progress is extremely slow and their fighting methods are completely different. If they want to exert their power similar to the Magic Net Walker, they need a special crystal, that is, the specialty on the wasteland, Li Yuanjing.

The name of the wasteland is Liyuan Wilderness. The plants in the wilderness are sparse, and only a few very drought-resistant plants can survive here. The wasteland is very huge, extending from the town to the edge of the crack. There are often tornadoes and sandstorms in the desert, which can be said to be definitely not suitable for human survival. However, despite this, countless adventurers are still attracted by Li Yuanjing and enter the wasteland one after another.

The reason is nothing more, just because the Li Yuan crystal contains very stable and unattributed energy that can be used, and this kind of crystal does not require excavation, exploration, or hunting. The only thing that is needed is luck.

They are like weeds, which seem to grow from the ground. Every time they are time, a batch will automatically appear.

Yao Yan speculated that this crystal should be a special crystal precipitated from the earth, just like saline and alkali.

More importantly, Li Yuanjing is only produced in the Li Yuan Wilderness and will never be seen in other places.

It is said that this crystal is covered with earthy yellow on the entire wasteland. Its appearance is turbid and covered with cracks. It seems to be just a special rock. At that time, the Liyuan Wilderness was still a deserted place that no one cares about. However, a mage accidentally discovered Li Yuanjing. He injected his magic power and found that this stone would give back energy to people. No matter how much power it injected, it would return twice its power until it was completely exhausted. After many verifications, the mage was as if it had been treasured and took Li Yuanjing back to the city where he lived. The mage with doubled ability was carried away and forgot to be humble and low-key. After challenging several masters, he was killed by a stronger person. Many years later, Li Yuanjing's secret was accidentally told by the descendants of the mage and eventually became a household secret.

Countless speculators flocked to him, and later some people discovered that Li Yuanjing's energy had no attributes. No matter what kind of profession, they could use it to enhance their own strength. Whether it is a warrior, a mage or a ranger, they could use this crystal to increase their own strength.

At that time, the land was covered with Li Yuan crystals in the Li Yuan crystals. After trillions of years of precipitation, the wasteland was filled with Li Yuan crystals.

However, no matter how many Li Yuanjing is, it cannot withstand the requests of the huge number of independents in this world. Gradually, Li Yuanjing in the Li Yuan wilderness became rare, and sometimes one piece may not be found even for more than ten days.

People still poured into the Liyuan wilderness in a steady stream, but the harvest was getting less and less. At this time, a young man named Nam opened a small shop on the edge of the wasteland, specializing in selling various supplies and doing business of adventurers. While more and more people returned empty-handed, Nam made a lot of money.

Many people came empty-handed, but were unwilling to leave empty-handed, so they lived outside the wilderness and entered the wasteland every once in a while. More savvy businessmen learned about Nam, hotels and taverns opened here...

In this way, the gathering place became larger and larger, and it became the current town of Nam.

Thousands of years have passed, and the output of the Liyuan wilderness has formed a dynamic balance with the number of people who come to find crystals, and Nam Town has also become a prosperous town specializing in adventurers' business.

Dad Red was an adventurer when he was young. When he got older, he opened a small union in the town, which specialized in providing places for adventurers to rest, communicate, sell and acquire, and also released some simple tasks on their behalf.

At first, the influence of my father and his companions was still there, so many adventurers came to compensate, but as they grew older, their influence among adventurers gradually weakened, and their business became worse and worse. Especially more than ten years ago, another guild called Golden Yuan was opened opposite the Thunder Slaying Guild that my father had opened, and the business of the Thunder Slaying Guild was completely declining.

The world's environment is harsh, the ethnic composition is particularly complex, the cultures and languages ​​are completely different from each other, and conflicts are one after another, so the people's customs are fierce, and the proportion of combat professionals accounts for a very large proportion and have a very high status.

It is precisely because of this that there are a huge number of guilds in this world.

According to professions, there are Mage Guild, Warrior Guild, Pastor Guild, Knight Guild, etc.

According to the different tasks posted, there are Mercenary Guild, Adventurer Guild, Assassinator Guild, Guardian Guild, etc.

Of course, it is more of a comprehensive guild.

Just like every industry has an industry association, in order to maintain its position in the entire industry, when there is no power to supervise, the most successful individuals in an industry often organize a so-called industry association to formulate some conventions to restrict more people from entering the industry and protect their rights and interests from being threatened.

There is also such an association in the industry of guilds. That association is called the "Guizhou Convention Committee", commonly known as the Guild Association. Theoretically, all guilds and registered members of the guild should obey the management of this organization. In fact, this association is also one of the most authoritative organizations in the world.

This association has gathered the ten largest guilds and formulated a "guild convention". The convention stipulates the guild rating method, task difficulty rating method, mercenary rating standard, etc. At the same time, it also stipulates the entry standards.

Whether it is the guild level, task difficulty level, or member level, there are eight levels in total.

In addition, major professions have their own unique division methods and cannot be generalized.
