I live in the game

Chapter 86 D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers
Silver Sail City is the most prosperous city in the Magic Continent. It is known as the capital of art and romance. It is the political center of the Tricolor Empire and the goal that countless people strive for.

In the center of the city, a majestic and majestic palace is built on the mountain, embracing its terrain, overlooking the whole city.

The mountain behind the palace stands like a sword. The mountain is made of white quartzite, just like a long silver sail, standing proudly against the wind and waves.

The neat and beautiful buildings under the hillside are patchwork and well-organized. They radiate outward along five wide streets and extend to the towering city wall in the shape of a regular pentagon.

The five corners of the city wall are five well-defended bastions. The most elite sentries stand guard on the bastions, and heavily armed soldiers patrol the walls, defending the city with a population of 30.

Shao Dalong had already seen its whole picture in the sky when he flew to Silver Sail City twice before.

Now he is sitting in Athos' luxurious carriage, admiring the scenery of the city through the window.

The carriage happened to be passing through a busy city, and there were thriving shops on both sides.

There are bars, hotels, weapon shops, jewelry shops, adventurers' guilds that must appear in the game, and there are also buildings that Shao Dalong never imagined.

For example, the orc massage shop, the elf ear picking shop, and the dwarf foot washing shop, Shao Dalong felt that he had opened the door to a new world.

There are also many performers on the street.

The bard sat by the magic fountain, played the harp, and sang the epic poems about the brave man's crusade against the demon king thousands of years ago.

The clown throws and catches the fireball magic, and every time he touches the fire with his hands, he will make funny faces, which makes the passers-by laugh.

The buxom female warrior leaned against a wooden board, and it was written that anyone who beat her by arm wrestling would get ten silver coins as a bonus, and the challenge paid one silver coin per challenge.

Shao Dalong was fascinated by it, it was a scene he couldn't see in the real world, and it was also a dream he pursued in countless games.

He suddenly felt like he missed something. When he was in Silver Sail City, he trained during the day and conquered the maze at night. He never stepped out of the training ground to see the scenery on the street and the people living in this game world.

Well, next time you go back to Yinsail City, you can find a chance to take a good stroll, try street food, and walk around every corner.

The carriage passed through the commercial street and came to a spacious square. In the center of the square stood a huge bronze statue of four men holding long swords.

They faced all directions and handed their backs to their comrades-in-arms, as if they were facing thousands of troops with the strength of just four people!

Shao Dalong couldn't help showing a puzzled expression, the man facing him was calm and personable, and he looked a bit like Ados.

"Here we are, let's get out of the carriage." Ados stepped out of the carriage, then looked up at the bronze statue, and said, "Do you think we look alike? That is my ancestor, Ados I."

Shao Dalong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Then what life are you in?"

"The Twelfth," replied Athos.

"Who are the other three people?" Shao Dalong had a vague guess in his mind.

"Let's go and have a look." Athos smiled but did not answer.

Accompanied by Athos, Shao Dalong walked around the four bronze statues. As expected, two of them resembled Porthos and Aramis.

Who is the remaining person, the answer seems to be ready to come out.

Shao Dalong walked to the bronze statue of the last person and read the inscription on the bronze tablet:

D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers
The brave D'Artagnan and his three brave and loyal companions, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, stopped the army of the devil for three days and three nights with the strength of the four, buying precious time for His Majesty the Emperor to gather troops, In the end, they defended the land where humans and all demihumans lived, and we will always remember their achievements.

- Year 9019 of the Asylum Calendar

The three names, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, come from the three brave musketeers in Dumas's novel "The Three Musketeers", and D'Artagnan is exactly the name of "The Three Musketeers". The protagonist is the backbone of the entire four-person team.

Three Musketeers has four men, which makes sense.

Ados stood beside Shao Dalong, and explained to him:

"Before the founding of the empire, the demons wanted to rule the magic continent, causing perennial wars. Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs and other demi-humans formed an allied force to contend with them.

"The first emperor of the empire, and the four in front of you, are all heroes who rose up in that era.

"After defeating the Demon King, my ancestor Athos I, and his comrades-in-arms Porthos I and Aramis I formed the White Knights, Crimson Knights, and Azure Knights respectively, and supported the first emperor to establish a three-color empire. .

"D'Artagnan became the founding marshal of the Tricolor Empire, the most powerful figure in the entire empire besides the emperor.

"It's a pity that he didn't die on the battlefield against the demons, but died in the conspiracy of human beings, and was assassinated by the Heavenly Sun Kingdom with super magic tools.

"This is why the empire and the Kingdom of Heaven and Sun have always been at odds, and even have been at war for the past hundred years. It is really a long-standing grudge."

Shao Dalong nodded.

I know.

Athos raised his hand and drew a five-pointed star on the bronze tablet, and the four bronze statues suddenly spoke, saying at the same time:
"All for one, one for all!"

Seeing Shao Dalong's surprised look, Ados said with a smile:

"The bronze statue used magic to store the vows that the four of them made for friendship.

"Although D'Artagnan is gone and has not left any heirs, the people of the empire can remember his voice and smile forever through the bronze statue and the soundtrack."

Shao Dalong was stunned.

Eh?You just said your voice and smile, right?

Voice and smile...

[Sound and smile]!
Shao Dalong looked up at d'Artagnan's handsome and resolute face, and couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of some kind of coquettish operation...

"Let's enter the career temple."

Ados led Shao Dalong to the building behind the statue, which was a version of an ancient Greek temple. The thick stone pillars alone made people feel solemn and solemn.

In the hall, there are seven stone statues. The stone statues have no faces, but it can be seen from the decoration that they are the seven basic professions of knight, swordsman, warrior, thief, archer, magician, and priest.

There were quite a few people in the hall, and most of them gathered around the seven stone statues, pretending to close their eyes and pray.

The two walked up to the stone statue of the knight, and Ados looked at Shao Dalong and said, "Tell the knight your knight oath, tell him what kind of knight you want to be, and he will test you."

Shao Dalong looked at the stone statue of the knight, and first tried to say something casually in his heart: I want to be a knight.

As a result, the knight didn't seem to care about what kind of knight he wanted to be, and the system immediately popped up a line of prompts in front of his eyes:

【You have accepted the apprentice knight transfer task! 】

[Apprentice knight transfer task "Mercy": Knight be compassionate, treat the weak kindly, fight all mistakes, fight for the defenseless, and help those who ask you for help. 】

[Mission Description: Help others and get the sincere gratitude of 100 people. 】

[Task progress: 0/100]

Shao Dalong was stunned.

Helping others and gaining gratitude, isn't this very common in games, such as sending a letter to an NPC, picking a medicine for an NPC, catching a chicken for an NPC, and other side quests?
Finally, I have the taste of running a map to do a task!
