Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes Novel - Chapter 21
Chapter 21: NPC Function Test
Last Dragonborn turned around and saw a little girl who was only as tall as his waist.
She was wearing yellow linen clothes riddled with patches, and she was looking up at him with a curious yet sympathetic gaze.
Me? Refugee?
He looked at his clothes, which were similar to those of other commoners, and was confused.
Just as she was about to ask, a stout woman in a linen checkered dress with a basket slung over her shoulder grabbed the girl’s hand. She shot a vigilant glance at Last Dragonborn before dragging her away.
Due to the enhanced hearing ability of elfs, Last Dragonborn could vaguely hear the distant woman’s preaching to the girl.
“Stay away from these foreigners. They will use magic to abduct you and sell your soul to the demons!”
“Mommy, there demons in the countryside too?”
“Maybe it’s a devil from the countryside…”
Was this some kind of special plot?
After being interrupted by the two of them, the last dragonborn finally noticed the strange gazes of the NPCs around him.
Due to his series of silly actions just now, the surrounding passersby looked as if they had seen a country bumpkin entering the city.
Being looked at by everyone as if they were looking at some kind of rare animal, the last Dragonkin’s fair face turned red as he remembered the special explanation of the NPC’s intelligence in the game. He left the scene hurridly as if he was running away.
This scene witnessed by a young master and servant from afar.
……
“Is that… a player?”
Staring fixedly at the departing hooded figure’s back, Anvis’ ocean-like blue eyes showed a hint of surprise.
In order to play his role, he had come to Kalas City in casual wear to buy Fiona a birthday present.
Although the clan’s crisis would arrive in a few decades, it was useless to be anxious.
He had not grown enough to leave the castle, and the major events in his memory were far from happening.
The only thing he needed to do now was to maintain his appearance as a descendant of an ordinary noble, so that he would not be discovered by others around him.
As a member of the Olivendi family, he would always attract a lot of extra attention.
But he did not expect to see such a shocking scene.
Just now, what appeared in front of that figure was the extremely familiar game window!
Erica, his personal maid, was standing behind him. At this moment, she had also taken off her special maid uniform and changed into a lightweight dress with a pleated skirt.
Her light brown waist complemented her white dress and top. Without the headband, her pink curls naturally fell to her shoulders, making her look energetic.
When he was a year old, the Duchess arranged for her to be Anvis personal maid to take care of him.
As a noble, even if he was dressed casually, he still had to have servants accompanying him.
“Master Anvis?”
The pink-haired maid looked around helplessly and reminded him softly.
As two of them were standing not far from the city gate area there were obviously more refugees of all kinds. Due to the fact that their clothes were obviously better than those of ordinary citizens, the surrounding people were already looking at them with malicious gazes.
It was different from those experienced bandits who had been living in the area for a long time and knew very well who they could steal and who they could not touch.
Most of the time, these penniless fellows who fled their hometown for various reasons would do anything.
Although it was just a casual outfit, the so-called ‘casual outfit’ of the Olivendi family was actually quite luxurious.
After all, casual wear was only relative to formal wear.
“Erica, did you see the glowing panel that just floated in front of that elf?”
Anvis also noticed the malicious gazes around him, but he didn’t seem to mind.
Although he only brought Erica with him on the surface, there were definitely high-level guards from his family protecting him in secret. If a refugee really attacked him recklessly, the consequences would be very serious.
“Glowing panel?”
Erica was taken aback by the question and shook her head in confusion. At the same time, she instinctively tugged at the lace at the collar that made her uncomfortable.
“I don’t see any glowing things, Your Excellency Anvis.”
Anvis’ eyes flashed and he nodded in understanding, he was only confirming it one last time.
“Nothing. See that man? Lets follow him.”
Anvis was determined.
Since he had already become an ‘NPC’, he had to figure out the abilities of NPCs.
For example, issuing missions.
……
The last dragonborn ran to another street without stopping before catching his breath.
As he had left the main road, there were fewer pedestrians around him. A few commoners were lazily leaning against the wall of a building on the side of the street. Only a passing guard looked at him suspiciously.
“What the hell, is this game so real?”
Patting off the invisible dust off his body, the elf felt somewhat helpless.
As everything happened too suddenly, he did not even have time to look at the Beginner tips.
Moreover, as there were too few closed beta players as compared to the huge world of Eunival. When he ran, he saw NPCs everywhere. It felt like he was playing a single-player game.
After logging off, I should contact those guys from the club to see if I have a chance to team up and explore.
“Hello, traveler from afar.”
Just as the elf was about to continue checking the system function, a handsome young man’s voice sounded beside him. The voice had a strange and elegant charm, interrupting his thoughts again.
The last dragonborn turned around. A young man with a gentle face and pale skin appeared before his eyes, unbelievably handsome as if he had came out from the garden of gods.
His bright, golden hair fell to his ears, and his deep blue eyes were full of mystery. He was dressed in an elegant, pure white robe with a shawl, and a exquisite silver book was hung around his waist by the star-like chains.
Facing the elf’s probing gaze, the youth responded with a polite and gentle smile.
A girl with pink hair stood behind the youth. She was dressed in a light brown dress, and her pink eyes carried a hint of vigilance. She was vaguely led by the youth.
“May I help you?”
This time, he reacted. As he answered carefully, he immediately casted Identify on the youth.
Identify was a skill of the player’s interface. It had no consumption and no cooldown. It could check the NPC’s name and information. However, if the level difference was more than five levels, the information detected would be randomly incomplete.
Furthermore, if the difference in strength between players and NPCs was too great, the detection would fail and they might be discovered.
[Name: Anvis (Green)]
[Level:?]
[Attribute:?]
[Identity: A young noble in casual clothes.]
[Faction: Lawful Neutral]
[Combat Level:?]
Green names meant that the NPC camp was friendly. There were also yellow names that represented neutrality and red names that represented hostility.
Combat level represented the NPC’s actual combat strength level. Due to the different templates, some NPCs’ actual combat strength far surpassed NPCs and players of the same level. This portion of strength would be reflected in the challenge level.
A disguised noble? I smell the fragrance of a hidden mission!
The elf was secretly delighted.
So what if the NPC’s intelligence is high? I have a game interface, do you?
……
So that’s my information. Too bad it’s not complete enough. This batch of players is really lousy.
Anvis looked at the interface excitedly, feeling extremely curious.
Although the words were opposite in his eyes, Anvis was still able to read them normally with his powerful spiritual power.
“I noticed your ‘interesting’ behavior just now. You must be a foreigner, right? How about becoming my servant?”
[System prompt: Anvis has invited you to become his follower. Do you accept?]
[Yes], [No].
NPCs recruited me to be their servant?
The elf’s smile was a little stiff, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that the young girl behind the young man was shocked when she heard this. She looked like she wanted to stop him but didn’t dare to speak.
Just this momentary change in expression was enough to overthrow all the other games!
Really! These NPCs really did not look like NPCs at all. They were closer to real people acting as NPCs!
While the elf was stunned, Anvis secretly frowned.
Due to his interaction with the elf, some of the eyes monitoring him became even more obvious.
