Chapter 91: Chapter 88: Information Isolated Island, The Stubborn Little Incubus
Sure enough...
Kael's face darkened as he remembered how players in their past lives had to put immense effort into ensuring rapid growth. In contrast, it seemed like the original inhabitants achieved various growth opportunities without much cost.
Back then, players with conspiracy theories suggested that the entire group of Undead might have fallen into an "information island" constructed by the original inhabitants through the gate to the lower world.
Information islands were common in the world before the Human Federation, where major real estate marketing departments loved to create a sense of urgency using information asymmetry, making homebuyers feel that houses were in short supply and would soon be gone.
Often, once a real estate advisor confirmed your intention to buy a house, they would immediately place your name on the candidate list.
When you thought you had found the right property, they would contact you that evening, saying, "Many people are rushing to buy houses now, you can't hold onto this one."
If you said, "I was first to get it," the advisor would tell you, "They have paid a deposit or down payment. If you want to outbid them, you need to pay XXX yuan and quickly sign the purchase contract."
Then they would use phrases like, "You're my first client, I will do my best to meet your requirements," to urge you to sign the purchase contract under their supervision quickly.
Some more underhanded advisors would even offset the client's discounts against the parking space purchase fees, then tell you they gave you a huge discount, suggesting you could refer friends to them.
What's worse, when you asked other real estate companies, they uniformly claimed, "No more houses are available," creating the illusion of a housing shortage across the city. Whether it was truly tight was known only to them internally.
Inside the walls and outside the walls, it was two completely different worlds of information.
Although the continent didn't have the concept of an information island, it didn't mean the original inhabitants didn't know how to use this method.
Major forces still controlled the main resources.
Once the major forces were informed, it became much more difficult for players to break through.
Not to the extent of completely setting a trap for players; after all, if the players were aggressively trapped, they weren't fools. After being trapped, one would still guard against those who wouldn't die quietly, launching revenge actions.
But just like going through processes in an enterprise, if every process node were strictly followed, it was enough to slow down the players' growth speed.
However, Kael had his considerations too.
Considering the current internal testing environment, the number of players wasn't alarming, still manageable within his control.
If he didn't establish a mutually satisfactory order system among players now, once the public testing started, with all sorts of characters appearing, whether they could manage it would be left to chance.
"Teacher, I will take this into account." Kael said to Luxius.
Previously, players couldn't quickly change jobs because there weren't many professionals on the territory who could act as career mentors, making it hard to promote job changes extensively.
Another reason was that the most numerous professionals, the Rangers, had their tasks, making it impossible to dedicate a lot of work time to training this group of players.
So, generally, only a few players who had gradually adapted to the Twisted Jungle environment and could patrol the surroundings with the Rangers were better able to follow the Rangers and receive their related experience as spell swordsmen.
But now things were different. Major Duchy forces invested and exerted effort, and Kael, being the nominal lord of this land, was also the appointed representative of the Mage Academy and the Earth Mother Goddess Church.
The Earth Mother God Church wasn't an aggressively strong church. As collaborators with Kael, they largely adhered to Kael's rules in Lancaster Territory.
As for the Lion Heart Battle Group, it seemed unrelated to him...
But anyone with some self-awareness knew that this time the Lion Heart Battle Group came to support Kael.
In the Bell Federation, the noble and knightly systems were two very distinct developmental paths.
One required staying in one place, being responsible for the territory and their duties, and nobles didn't form legally binding control over each other.
Simply put, my vassal's vassal is not my vassal.
Besides knights like Jonathan, who were enfeoffed under Kael as "guardian knights of the lord," officially enfeoffed knights by the Anglo-Rance Duchy only had one true responsible party: the leader of the Duchy, the Lion Heart Duke.
Among them, the most revered by all knights was the Duchy's largest violent institution, the Lion Heart Battle Group.
The knightly system, built on beliefs of guarding the Duchy, knightly honor, and camaraderie, was highly exclusive and opposed to the nobles' violent structure.
Previously, the Lion Heart Battle Group had exerted considerable effort on Kael's affairs.
However, the knights' attempt to interfere in the noble system sparked intense backlash within the entire noble system.
If they continued this way, it could have adverse effects. In the end, the Lion Heart Battle Group had to pause their efforts, but the matter had already caused a significant stir in the Royal Capital.
"The Lion Heart Battle Group, especially the Iron Cross where your father was and the Bronze Cross where Fox was, were running around a lot for your sake. You need to remember this favor."
Though Luxius knew Kael was mature for his age, as a teacher, he always worried about him.
Kael nodded and said, "Teacher, I am aware of this. When Uncle Fox came to find me before, we already discussed this matter. The knights sent to the territory will not be mistreated."
Luxius nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself how self-reliant and overly independent this child was, not knowing what had happened to him before.
It was a good quality, but seeing such resilience in a child not yet of age pained him a bit.
A stubborn little Incubus needed him as a teacher to take on more responsibility.
So he said, "The earliest batch of wizard training materials has already been sent over. If you need to screen the Undead on your side, do it quickly but be mindful."
He continued, "It's better to choose those who are honest and reliable rather than those who are talented but always prefer to go against you."
"After all, you know that for wizards, once they get past the initial fatigue period and establish themselves among the novices, the resources they receive will be significantly more than other professions. At that point, wanting to dominate will not be easy anymore."
Kael nodded.
Luxius clearly knew a lot about the inner workings of the Undead. Although it was unclear how the Undead ascended ranks, he at least understood their high potential and ability to level up faster than the original inhabitants with sufficient resources.
This allowed the Lion Heart Duke to permit the Undead to use the Duchy's resources to ascend, considering that the Undead's initial growth speed far exceeded that of normal wizards.
They were innately suited to explore new paths.
