Chapter 44: Sealing the Gods' Team

  Compared to the previous period, the state of Ox-Headed Youth Aister has recovered a lot. Although he is still not as cheerful as before, at least he is willing to communicate with others on a shallow level.

  The reason why Ayster reopened his mind was that his capable papermaking father did not die in the great riot, but survived.

  But for some reason, Aisite still refused to go home, so he is still lingering in Malong.

  Moreover, as soon as Ma Long mentions Auster's father, Auster becomes extremely irritated.

  As for Est's father, he also secretly came to see Marlon once, but after learning about Est's situation from Marlon's mouth, he left a few hundred lant in shame and asked Marlon to take care of Est for a while...

  It's hard for a good official to settle family affairs. Although it was clear that there must have been some knot in the hearts of the bull-headed father and son, Ma Long had no idea how to comfort them, so he could only choose to agree to Mr. Auster's request.

  It's nothing more than having one more mouth to feed at home, and Ma Long would not refuse it either emotionally or rationally.

  Furthermore, if Est's father didn't bring it up, Malon would probably have suggested that Est stay with him for a while before going back, after all, Est's current state made Malon rather uneasy.

  So Auster stayed in Marlon's Flower Garden, and every day, whether Marlon went to the orphanage to tell stories or performed his daily duty of telling 20,000 words of "history" from The Book of Eli to Master Druid Llewelyn, Adela would call Auster to listen together.

  Can't say for sure, but maybe one day I'll tell a story that unexpectedly has the effect of resolving Easter's heart knot?

  Ma Long's idea is like this.

  Since the story always involves Ester, it's no wonder that after Marlon invented "Dragon and Dungeon Tabletop", he would bring along the Minotaur boy Ester to try it out.

  In fact, Ma Long used "Fengshen Yanyi" as a template and then built the "War of Gods" TRPG according to the rules of Dragon and Dungeon, also known as DND rules. Before Ma Long introduced it to Eve, he had already closed the door and tried playing it - okay, in the world of Earth China, this kind of TRPG is called a running team.

  The result of trying it out...not bad.

  Ma Long, who has been telling stories for two months, has grown into a suitable "dungeon master" or DM. He can easily intercept any section of "The Investiture of the Gods" and come up with a background story that gets everyone excited to participate.

  However, every time they play, the character set by Little Fox Girl Amy must be a Qingqiu Fox Tribe Assassin, Adela will inevitably choose the Longbowman of the Feathered Nation, and the role chosen by Ox-Headed Boy Aister is also the Tongjiang Warrior of the Chiyou Tribe. The Druid Master Lizard's portrayal is also bound to be a human practitioner who specializes in wood-based magic...

  Then, each time this Sparrow Team composed of four sparrows will be annihilated within two hours due to various unbearable reasons.

  Although they are annihilated every time, the four novice team players are very interested in Malong's "Seal of God TRPG" and have even developed a habit of running a team every night before going to sleep.

  Even Bernard Sheriff, who had been watching but not playing from the start, was officially pulled down yesterday and became a proud Qingqiu Fox Tribe gunman...

  So, when Malong asked Adela to gather the others for a rare noon run, the other three responded to the call and arrived at Malong's study in the fastest speed.

  At this time, Ma Long had also completed the setup, including the city lord's curtain that blocked the player's line of sight. Various prop cards and battle cards were also neatly arranged in categories.

  As for Evna, she had basically finished reading the player manual and felt that she needed to pay attention to those core contents.

  "Huh? You little girl, how come you have time to run over today? Didn't the newspaper say that you're making so much money that your hands cramp up from counting it?"

  Seeing Evanna, Llewelyn ap Rhodri made a joke. He had no vested interest in her, so he could afford to be flippant. The joke wasn't entirely exaggerated, according to the newspaper accounts...

  The Emerald Expanse Press's first print run of Marlon's books was two million sets, and even if you subtract all the costs, including the royalties paid to Marlon, at a minimum profit of 10%, that would be about 0.1 lant per book, so what would the total be?

  Not including the profits from selling peripheral products such as Malong brand and short-sleeved shirts, which have a much higher profit margin than books.

  Moreover, according to the news revealed in the newspaper, it seems that Evina has a plan to reprint these books by at least two million sets.

  "We made a bit of profit, but most of the money was invested back in. Just acquiring the rights to publish Harry Potter cost a large sum of money. Then there were expenses for purchasing paper, recruiting printers, buying land and building factories for peripheral products, as well as hiring workers to manufacture these products, which used up the remaining profits."

  Eva smiled and didn't deny that she had indeed made money, although the money she earned was almost all spent.

  "It's also true that spending money is easy but making it is hard." Master Lizardo nodded in agreement with Evana's words.

  He pulled over a chair, plopped himself down in front of the already-standing city lord's pavilion, and Master Druid Lycan rubbed his hands together, speaking with an eager tone: "Stop standing around like idiots, hurry up and sit down to build your character cards! Haha, last night we went into that Xuan Yuan God's Tomb for an adventure, but were wiped out by those damned girls and that accursed fox spirit - today I'm definitely going to get revenge!"

  Under the invitation of Master Lizardui, others moved their chairs to sit down, but only little fox girl Amy stared at Master Lizardui with a huff.

  "Little Aimi, why are you staring at me with such a strange gaze?" Lycan Druid Master finally noticed the little fox girl's eyes.

  The little vixen, panting with excitement, pointed to her own fluffy fox ears on top of her head, and then bared her cute white canine teeth at the Druid master.

  "Our lovely little Aimy means to say - humph, Uncle Conchita is a bad guy, using the map cannon is not right, because Aimy is also considered a fox spirit!"

  Alright, this line with a strong flavor of acting cute, obviously only Malong can pull it off.

  So, without a doubt, Ma Long received a big white eye from Xiao Hu Nu's angry gaze.

  "Ah, sorry, sorry! Dear little Aimy, what I meant to say is that the fox spirit called Sutaji is a stinky girl and a damned thing!"

  Master Lirien quickly apologized to the little fox girl with unclear words, and the reason for his hasty apology was simple - the lovely little fox girl was a highly skilled chef, and he couldn't afford to offend his own chef, which was one of Master Lirien's important life principles.

  Ma Long's interjection and Li Zhiwei's sincere apology finally appeased the little fox girl's anger.

  So soon, the new "Seal of God War TRPG" team started running.

  Green Hill Fox Maiden Assassin, Chiyou Tribe Heavy Armor Warrior, Winged Folk Archer, Wood Elemental Magic Specialist Human Qi Practitioner, and a Water Elemental Magic Specialist Sea Folk Qi Practitioner... embarked on their journey in the world of Sealed Gods.

  After everyone finished filling in the character card data, Ma Long finally began to introduce the background setting of this running team.

  "On the eastern coast of the nine continents of Nanzhou, there was a pass built with countless manpower and resources. It was called Chentang Pass. The current guardian general of Chentang Pass is named Li Jing, whose wife has been pregnant for three whole years without giving birth to the child."

  In the city, people are spreading rumors that the child in the belly of the castle lord's wife must be a monster, and it is said that the mountain god on the nearby mountain is punishing the castle lord for his disrespect to the mountain god. The busy castle lord tries to recruit several brave adventurers to explore the abandoned and haunted mountain temple...
