Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 21 NPC Function Testing
Chapter 21 - 21 NPC Function Testing
The Last Dragon Descendant turned his head and saw a little girl only reaching his waist.
She wore patched light yellow linen peasant clothes, looking up at him with a gaze mixed with curiosity and pity.
Me? Fleeing?
The Elf glanced at his own outfit, quite similar to other peasants', with a look of confusion.
Just as he was about to inquire, a robust woman wearing a checkered linen skirt and carrying a basket grabbed the girl's hand, cast a wary glance at the Last Dragon Descendant, and quickly walked her away.
Thanks to the Elf's enhanced hearing, the Last Dragon Descendant vaguely heard the distant woman lecturing the girl.
"Stay away from those outsiders; they'll use magic to abduct you and sell your soul to the devil!"
"Mom, are there devils in the countryside too?"
"Maybe they're rural devils..."
Is this some kind of special plot?
After the two interrupted, the Last Dragon Descendant finally noticed the strange looks from the surrounding 'NPCs'.
Due to his series of dumbfounded actions just now, the surrounding pedestrians completely regarded him as a countryside bumpkin.
Being scrutinized with eyes that seemed to view him as some rare animal, recalling the 'game guidelines' about the special mention of NPC intelligence, the Last Dragon Descendant's fair Elf face flushed red, almost fleeing from the scene.
This scene was entirely captured by a pair of young master and servant's eyes a little distance away.
......
"Is that... a player?"
Staring at the hooded figure's departing silhouette, Anvis's ocean-like azure eyes looked a little dazed.
To play his role well, he came to Karlars City in casual dress this time, initially intending to buy a birthday gift for Fiona.
Though the family crisis would descend in decades, being anxious was futile.
He hadn't grown enough to leave the castle and the major events in his memory were far from occurring.
The only thing he needed to do now was maintain the facade of a normal noble descendant, ensuring those visible and invisible monitoring eyes around him wouldn't detect his peculiarity.
As a member of the Olivendi Family, he would always attract extra attention.
But he didn't expect to see such a shocking scene.
Just now, in front of that figure, appeared the ever-familiar game interface from his previous life!
The personal maid Erica stood slightly behind him, she too had taken off the specially made maid outfit, dressing in a set of a light, waist-tightening frill skirt.
The light brown waist-tightening highlighted the white petticoat and top, and without the headband, her pink curls naturally flowed to her shoulders, making her look full of vitality.
After she turned one, the Duchess arranged her to be the personal maid responsible for taking care of Anvis.
Being a noble, even when traveling in casual attire, he must have servants accompanying him.
"Lord Anvis?"
The pink-haired little maid glanced around helplessly, lightly reminding him.
The two stood not far from the city gate area, where a noticeably large number of refugees gathered. Due to their attire, which was clearly superior to ordinary citizens, some malicious glances were already cast toward them.
Unlike the old-hand thieves who have lived here long enough to know exactly whom they can steal from and whom they should never touch.
These individuals who left their homeland for various reasons, often penniless, were capable of doing anything.
Although traveling in casual attire, the so-called 'casual dress' of the Olivendi Family remained quite luxurious.
After all, casual dress was merely relative to formal dress.
"Erica, did you see the glowing surface floating in front of that Elf just now?"
Anvis also noticed the malicious gazes from around, but he was unconcerned.
Though he only openly brought Erica, secretly, High Rank guards from the family were definitely following to protect him. If a refugee dared to seek trouble with him, the consequences would be very severe.
"Glowing surface?"
Erica was baffled by the question, shook her head slightly confused while instinctively tugging at the lace collar that made her somewhat uncomfortable.
"I didn't see any glowing thing, Lord Anvis."
Anvis's gaze flickered, knowingly nodded, as he merely wanted to confirm one last time.
"It's nothing, did you see that person? Follow him."
Anvis's train of thought was clear.
Since he had now become an 'NPC', he needed to understand this identity's specific abilities.
For instance—issuing tasks.
......
The Last Dragon Descendant ran to another district in one breath, then stopped, panting slightly.
As he left the main road, there were fewer passersby, with a few peasants lazily sitting against the walls of roadside buildings; only a passing guard glanced at him somewhat suspiciously.
"Damn, is this game really that realistic?"
Patting off nonexistent dust, the Elf felt a bit helpless.
Things happened too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to look at the novice guide.
Also, since the beta slots were so few compared to this vast world, all along the way he saw nothing but NPCs, feeling like playing a single-player game.
After logging off, he should contact a few guys from the club and see if there's a chance to team up and explore.

"Hello, traveler from afar."
Just as the Elf was about to further explore the system features, a melodious youthful voice rang beside him, bringing an odd and elegant charm to the tone that once again interrupted his actions.
The Last Dragon Descendant turned around to find a soft-featured boy, with pale skin, seemingly stepped straight out of a heavenly garden, appearing in front of him.
The sunlight-like bright gold strands fell to his ears, while mysterious deep blue eyes underlined his enigmatic aura; clad in an elegant pure white outfit with a shawl, and fine silver tomes perfectly suspended at his waist by starlit chains.
Facing the Elf's inquisitive gaze, the boy responded with a polite and gentle smile.
A pink-haired girl stood slightly behind the boy, dressed in a light brown dress, with a hint of vigilance in her pink eyes, seemingly regarding the boy as the leader.
"May I ask, is there something you need?"
This time he reacted, cautiously answering while instantly throwing a detect at the boy.
Detect is a function inherent to the player's interface, with no cost, no cooldown, capable of viewing the NPC's name and information. However, if the level difference exceeds 5 levels, the detected information will be randomly incomplete.
Moreover, if the power gap between the player and the NPC is too great, the detect will fail and may be discovered.
[Name: Anvis (Green Name)]
[Level: ?]
[Attribute: ?]
[Identity: Noble boy traveling in casual dress]
[Camp: Order Neutral]
[Challenge Level: ?]
A Green Name signifies a friendly camp, while a Yellow Name signifies neutral, and a Red Name signifies hostile.
The Challenge Level indicates the NPC's actual combat level, as certain NPCs have combat capabilities far exceeding those of NPCs and players at the same level due to different templates; this power is reflected in the Challenge Level.
Noble traveling in casual dress? I sense the scent of a hidden mission!
The Elf was secretly delighted.
No matter how intelligent NPCs are, I've got the panel, do you?
.........
So that's my information, but it's incomplete. This batch of players is really lousy.
Anvis eagerly watched the panel alongside the Last Dragon Descendant, feeling quite curious.
Although the text appeared inverted in his eyes, with his body's immense spiritual power in this life, Anvis still managed to read normally.
"I've noticed your 'interesting' behavior just now, you should be a foreigner, how about becoming my servant?"
[System Prompt: Anvis invites you to become his follower, do you accept?]
[Yes], [No]
NPC recruiting me as a servant?
The Elf's smile stiffened, but he noticed with his peripheral vision that the girl behind the boy was momentarily stunned upon hearing these words, appearing to want to stop but dared not speak up.
Solely from this instant expression change, it outshines all other games!
Really! These NPCs don't seem like NPCs at all; it's as if they are played by real people!
While the Elf was stunned, Anvis secretly frowned.
Due to his action in inviting the Elf, certain eyes monitoring him around became more pronounced.
