Purgatory Artist-Chapter 237: The Importance of Identity
Chapter 237 - The Importance of Identity
He raised his hand.
The blade fell.
Out of the row of archers, three of them died immediately.
The others reacted and were about to turn around when they were stabbed and slashed, killing two more.
The remaining four people became ferocious and charged at the three Death Puppets.
Unfortunately.
The Death Puppets were all corpses and had no sense of pain or fear. They stood still and exchanged injuries with the four people, killing another three.
There was only one person left.
He looked at the corpses on the ground and finally understood. He knelt on the ground and raised his hands. "Spare me!"
Three sabers pierced his body.
He twitched for a while and said regretfully, "What a pity ... I was so close to becoming a Baron ..."
Before he could finish.
He fell to the ground, dead.
At this time, Liu Ping was only halfway there and hadn't reached the main road.
"So I can actually control these Death Puppets at will, right?" Liu Ping asked.
"Yes, you can use their bodies to fight. Unfortunately, I've been wandering for too long and am too weak now. Otherwise, I can activate more puppets' abilities." Lilith said regretfully.
"Take it slow, I'm only level 10." Liu Ping smiled.
He walked in front of the corpses.
Suddenly.
Bang!
Bang!
After two sounds, two floating cards appeared on the body of the last person who died.
"Huh? What are these? "
Liu Ping was surprised.
"I think you can put them into your card tome!" Lilith waved at the two cards.
The two cards flew over and landed in front of Liu Ping.
The first card had a tattered flag drawn on it, with a line of small words.
[Bandit Gathering Flag]
A line of burning words quickly appeared.
[This flag represents the identity of the current world: Bandit Leader]
[The owner of this flag will automatically become a Bandit Leader in the current world and can summon six Bandits to fight at any time]
[Congratulations!]
[You've once again obtained an identity in the current world.]
Liu Ping was deep in thought.
When he first entered the Land of Exile, he obtained the identity of the York City Guardian Knight Captain. He was responsible for gathering Professionists from all over the place and forming a knight squad. He was responsible for the security and defense of York City.
That time, he didn't work for the Viscount of York for nothing. He obtained some supplies and a lot of gems.
Later, when he bought the map and Lilith's card tome, those gems were of great use.
Now.
He had regained his identity in this world.
The leader of the bandits.
What are these bandits doing here?
Liu Ping couldn't help but look at the other card.
The other card had a simple red emblem drawn on it. Below the emblem was a line of words:
[The holder of this badge is the baron of the Kingdom of Ceylon, the owner of the village of Mill]
Another line of burning words appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:
[This badge represents the current world's identity: Baron of the Kingdom]
[With this emblem, you will automatically become a Baron in the current world and own a village]
Liu Ping was stunned as he turned to look at the carriage that had fallen to the ground.
On the carriage, a heavy wooden chest fell to the ground. The lock had long been smashed open by the thieves, and the inside was filled with gold coins and gems.
Liu Ping stepped forward and touched them, allowing the gems to fall from his fingertips.
He turned to look at the three Death Puppets.
The person in the middle was wearing a rather luxurious robe and a hat full of colorful feathers on his head.
On his hands, each finger was wearing a ring with embedded gems.
"Take off the ring yourself and throw it into the chest." Liu Ping said.
The Death Puppets silently began to take off the ring.
"After all this fuss, there are people dying everywhere. So they were besieging and assassinating the Baron ..."
Liu Ping lamented.
He suddenly remembered what the person said before he died.
Almost became a Baron?
Wait a minute!
Liu Ping was stunned.
This world.
The rules of this world, is it that once you obtain the corresponding identity card, you will automatically become the owner of that identity?
If that's the case, then the leader of the thieves had already succeeded.
He killed the Baron.
So he automatically became a Baron?
Does no one care how he got to that position?
This was too ... unimaginable ...
As Liu Ping was thinking, he suddenly saw lines of burning words appear quickly:
[Note: You have obtained two identity cards]
[The mystic rules revolve around you]
[You must choose one of the two identities as your identity in the current world]
As expected!
Liu Ping looked at the two cards and sighed:
"In this world, identities are actually so important"
The next moment.
A ring of alternating light and darkness suddenly appeared above Liu Ping's head. The tome in his hand automatically flipped open and kept the two cards inside.
The two cards flew into the blank page and lined up neatly.
Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
[You have obtained the power of the Knight's Crown, your identity is no longer bound by light and darkness. This is the blessing from the Eternal Night Divine Pillar's Heroic Spirit]
[You can have two identities at the same time]
Crown ...
Liu Ping looked up and saw the ring of light emitting a black-and-white light, appearing blurry. Occasionally, it would turn into an illusory blank mask with only a hint of blood in the eye sockets.
When he obtained two identities, two thin lines that kept extending silently appeared on the mask, giving off a mysterious and eerie feeling.
With just these two thin lines, it was still impossible to form a complete mask, but at least there was an outline.
This was the path that he chose at 40 meters away ...
The reason why he chose this path was because he wanted to save the people around him.
So, how will it develop?
... This path will probably take a very long time before he can figure something out.
After Liu Ping took the two identity cards, the ring of light above his head slowly faded into the void of space and no longer appeared.
Liu Ping pulled his gaze back, thought for a bit, then lightly tossed the [Bandit Leader] Card out.
Bam!
A tattered flag appeared in front of him.
A second later.
Six Bandits appeared around the flag.
They glanced at the corpse on the ground, exchanged glances, then bowed to Liu Ping: "Sir, we came here in response to your summon, what do you need us to do?"
"Where did you come from?" Liu Ping curiously asked.
The Bandits didn't understand and drew their cards one after another: "You summoned us, so we came."
Liu Ping looked at their cards.
There was a dagger drawn on each of their cards.
Next to the cards, lines of burning words appeared:
[Low-level Bandits]
[When you activate the power of your identity, they must come here in response to your summon and listen to your orders]
[When they complete your mission, you must give them a certain amount of reward]
[Furthermore, if someone disobeys your orders]
[The person who disobeys will lose their identity, anyone can kill them and take everything they have]
So that's it!
"Alright, you guys come and bury these people, then repair the carriage."
Liu Ping said.
The thieves sighed in relief.
This young man was calmly standing in front of a pile of corpses.
There were even three people who were clearly dead standing next to him.
No matter how you look at it, this scene is very strange.
Who would've thought that his orders would be so simple?
"Don't worry sir, leave this to us." one of the Bandits patted his chest and said.
"That's right, I used to be a carriage driver, fixing the carriage isn't a problem." another Bandit said.
Liu Ping was interested: "You used to be a carriage driver? Why did you change your profession to become a Bandit? "
The Bandit smiled bitterly: "The City Lord's tax was too high, I couldn't pay, so I had to think of a way to escape. Luckily, someone helped me when I lost my identity, so I became a Bandit."
"So that's how it is, alright, let's begin."
"Yes sir."
The bandits were quick and nimble, burying the corpses and repairing the carriage in no time.
"Sir, we found this in the carriage."
One of the bandits said.
Liu Ping took the list from his hand, the first line of the list was written:
"Mi 'er village's summer harvest"
Below it was a list of names and quantities of items.
This was a list.
From now on, everything on this list belongs to Liu Ping.
Liu Ping looked down at the list and suddenly remembered something.
If.
There's a core card in Mi 'er village.
Doesn't that mean it also belongs to me?
Seems like aristocratic status is very useful in this world.
If I can continuously raise my aristocratic status, then I'll naturally be able to obtain everything in the territory.
Including cards.
Looking at the bandit profession
Liu Ping took out a gold coin from the box and tossed it over:
"Take it and divide it."
The Bandits were delighted.
Completing such a simple mission actually gave them a gold coin!
Liu Ping suddenly asked: "How can you be promoted to the leader of the bandits?"
"Complete ten summoning missions." one of them said.
"Defeat three opponents." another person said.
"Assassinate a target on your own, or steal an item worth two gold coins," another person said.
"Then you'll be qualified to challenge a bandit leader. if you win, you'll be promoted. If you lose, if you don't die, you'll have to do it all over again." the fourth person added.
Liu Ping nodded.
Suddenly, a line of burning words quickly appeared:
[You've heard of the promotion method of 'Land of Exile']
[Your Role Points have increased a little]
[Your current Role Points are 1/10]
[This operation interface has determined the current promotion method for you according to the corresponding mystic rules]
[Attention:]
[After the leader of the bandits completes the promotion mission, their identity will change to: Great bandit/Assassin, and will have the corresponding authority of the identity]
Liu Ping looked at the void of space, behind it was a long list of missions and the corresponding authority of the next stage.
One of them caught Liu Ping's attention.
Bandits can steal treasures.
This is a simple, ingenious, and won't cause too much of a commotion, it can be used to obtain a Sequence Card without alerting the monster.
You can even spend money to buy treasures from other bandits.
If the monster arrives in this era, it won't be able to discover you.
"Alright ... Looks like I have something to do"
Liu Ping muttered.
