As for [Sparkling Oil]...
He has no plans to conduct any in-depth research for the time being, nor will he hand it over to anyone.
Because this thing is so dangerous. If you are not careful, it will directly erode and completely change the world.
Unless he could find a relatively closed space and time with no people or creatures inside, Zuo Si would consider releasing the [Sparkling Oil] to see how this substance created by Yawgmoth eroded, infected and transformed the entire world bit by bit, and try to see if he could control it and use it for himself.
After all, Yawgmoth himself had been killed long ago, and the most important mechanical core of Phyrexia also exploded, and the entire world fell apart. In theory, [Sparkling Oil] was no longer owned by anyone.
It’s like those artificial intelligences that have lost human control. Although they are still performing tasks according to pre-set programs, they have actually lost the ability to make their own judgments.
No matter who it is, as long as they can crack the secret, they can become the new owner of [Shuo You] just like cracking the firewall and system of a computer.
Unfortunately, most of the planeswalkers of the ancient times were frightened by Yawgmoth and the Phyrexian forces he created, and were afraid of the "Spark Oil", which could transform organic life, repair mechanical bodies, and was a nearly unlimited energy source.
Not to mention research and attempts to control it, even hearing that there were signs of corrosion by [Sparkling Oil] in that place would immediately lead to permanent isolation of the entire area.
But Zuo Si was different.
He had never experienced the despair of watching one plane after another being eroded and occupied by Phyrexia while being unable to do anything.
Instead, he was full of curiosity and interest in studying the magical technology left over from the ancient Solan civilization, as well as the Phyrexian civilization further developed by Yawgmoth on this basis.
Especially those huge [Dragon-shaped Engines] with mechanical beauty, and the super humanoid machines [Constructs] that might have been created by the ancient planeswalker Urza to fight against them, all of them fascinated Zuo Si deeply.
After all, this kind of super-large mechanical creation has a natural black hole-like huge attraction for men.
If a questionnaire survey was conducted among men on Earth, asking them to choose between a beautiful and sexy lover and a large robot, more than 90% would choose the latter without hesitation.
There's nothing you can do about it, since most men remain teenagers until they die.
Without any hesitation!
Zuo Si used his powerful creator ability to create a secret research base underground, transformed some cards into physical objects, and built a permanent portal.
After finishing all this, he returned to the floating city and gathered dozens of experts in mechanics, materials, physics, etc., as well as Tyrantyr, who had just crossed the threshold to officially become a legendary wizard not long ago, and brought them all over.
After witnessing the [Dragon Engine], [Magic Heavy Artillery], [Large Flapping Wing Machine] and various [Constructs] with their own eyes, everyone fell into a daze and was unable to recover from the intense shock for a full five or six minutes.
Although strictly speaking, the actual combat effectiveness of these things may not be much stronger than those powerful ancient dragons, and they may even be at an absolute disadvantage in spell confrontations.
However, the visual impact and sense of oppression brought by the giant machines that are hundreds or thousands of meters long are simply incomparable to the ancient dragons.
Mechanical engineer David kept swallowing his saliva. After a long time, he swung his arm and slapped himself twice in the face, as if to confirm whether he was dreaming.
But the pain soon made his brain extremely clear, and he immediately exclaimed in a trembling voice: "No... Impossible!
How could a bionic machine of this size and volume be built? Even if it was built, how could it be able to move so quickly and nimbly? The gravity and its own weight alone should have crushed it!
Also, how does this huge body transmit power? It's unscientific! It's too unscientific!"
Obviously, these huge mechanical creations in front of him completely overturned the inherent cognition formed by a mechanical engineer over decades on Earth.
Not only him, but other people had similar reactions.
Experts specializing in materials science have even come close to carefully observe the materials of the metal skeletons and gears. They found that although they contain a lot of iron, they are actually a memory alloy with extremely high strength and toughness.
Even if you hit it hard and make a small dent, causing it to deform, it will return to its original state in a few seconds at most.
As for the physicists, they noticed the energy cores inside the [Dragon Engine] and [Construct] that were flashing with magical light, and they all rushed forward with instruments to test them like crazy.
When the test results came out, they found incredulously that each of these things built with unknown technology was like a small nuclear fusion reactor, which could release huge energy that was completely disproportionate to its own size, and would not cause problems such as energy depletion even if it was used for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
In addition, the energy transmission method spread throughout the metal skeleton inside the body also opened the eyes of this group of scientific research elites from Earth.
It turns out that when magic and technology are perfectly combined together, they can create something so powerful, perfect and incredible.
In contrast, as a mage, Tyrantyr turned his attention to the magic constant system used on the surface of [Dragon Engine], [Construct], [Magic Heavy Artillery] and [Large Flapping Machine].
Although the ancient Solan civilization of Dominaria always gives people the illusion of technological and mechanical civilization.
But in fact, the background or source of their civilization still does not deviate from the use of energy and magic power.
It's just that the original direct manipulation of energy to form various magical effects has been changed to be used in the fields of machinery, biology, and genetic modification.
Therefore, the magic constancy system developed on this basis is definitely not inferior to any highly developed magic civilization, and may even surpass it.
For Tyrantil, this is simply an enormous treasure trove.
If you can learn and master some relevant knowledge from it, you will definitely be able to gain very powerful power, and maybe even create a new legendary advanced profession.
In short, everyone present felt that these creations had unimaginable research value.
If I hadn't gotten permission, I would have started by dismantling a small construct and working on the basic principles of its operation through reverse engineering.
Zuo Si obviously felt the enthusiasm for facing unknown technology and knowledge, and immediately announced with a smile: "From today on, your most important task is to organize people to reverse engineer these top creations that combine magic and technology, and then apply the results to the Plantia floating city. Tell me, do you have the confidence to complete this task?"
"Hehe! Of course we have confidence! If we can't even do reverse engineering through the real objects, we elites in various industries will have no face to continue living. But this will obviously take a long time, and during this period we will need support in terms of resources and manpower. The most important thing is that we have to dismantle, analyze and study these behemoths."
Physics PhD McCas grinned with great excitement.
If the previous research conducted in the floating city was a series of aimless attempts, and even they themselves did not know what results would be achieved, then what needs to be carried out next is targeted scientific research.
And this is not just an ordinary scientific research project, but a large-scale reverse engineering involving real objects.
Through these studies, it is also possible to unlock the amazing knowledge and advanced technology of an ancient and extremely advanced civilization of magic and technology.
Is there anything in the world that makes people feel more excited than this?
The answer is obviously no!
Although the phrase "technological research and development relies on archaeology" has always been a classic joke on Earth, it is obviously not the case in the magical world.
尤其是那些在数千乃至上万年前就已经发展到恐怖高度，但却因为一些特殊原因突然之间灭亡的上古文明，可以说每一个都拥有自己的独到之处。
类似多明纳里亚这种隔三差五就能从地下遗迹中挖出上古神器的时空，“科技研发靠考古”更是再正常不过的事情了。
左思满意的点了点头：“很好！我会给你们足够的支持，也同意伱们拆卸留在这里的东西。但有一点，在没有十足把握的情况下，最好先不要去动那些核心。”
“请放心，我们这些研究高能物理的人都非常清楚，那种级别的能量核心意味着什么，绝对不会轻举妄动的。就算要拆，也会先从最小的那种机械体开始拆起。”麦卡斯信誓旦旦的给出保证。
很快，在他的带领下，一台台检测仪器、科研专用设备和一些拆卸用的大型机械吊臂等东西，便通过传送门从浮空城那边运了过来。
仅仅两三个小时之后，一群人便围在最小的那台【组构体】周围开始七嘴八舌的讨论起要从什么地方入手。
如果换成平时不忙的时候，左思自然会非常乐意加入其，并利用自己创造者的职业能力帮忙进行分析、提供专业的意见。
但遗憾的是，他现在手头需要忙的事情实在是太多了，光是穿过黑暗虚空中锁定两个世界这件事情就需要花费非常多的精力。
其次还得抽出点时间参加即将在路斯坎召开的北地领主联盟会议，去看看艾拉斯卓和金龙女王薇拉玛兰黛丝大老远跑过来究竟想要干什么。
最后还要关注博德之门和安姆的动向，确保在巴尔之子大范围开始苏醒并争夺其父亲留下的王座，以及夏恩七世在阿斯卡特拉留下的棋子开始发挥作用时，可以第一时间做出反应。
除此之外正在制造神器的希瑞克，潜伏在暗中伺机而动的班恩教会，都同样不能掉以轻心。
就在左思打算转身离开的时候，上一秒还在沉迷于分析那些恒定魔法的泰蓝提尔，下一秒便猛地回过神来，快步走到近前小声汇报道：“阁下，那些玩家中有一小部分精英已经从相应的学院毕业，今天就要启程离开浮空城去执行第一次任务了。”
“毕业？这么快！”左思微微吃了一惊。
泰蓝提尔有些无奈的解释道：“嗯！根据主脑伊莎多拉的观察，发现那些之前上过战场、经验丰富的老兵，还有一些为受到过专业训练的保镖、杀手和特工，往往都能在很短的时间内就完成战士、盗贼、游侠、蛮战士之类职业的训练课程。
相比之下，施法者职业就要慢得多。
目前只有两名牧师、一名德鲁伊、四名吟游诗人和一名术士获得了真实的职业等级。
为了防止他们无法抑制住自己内心之中的暴力倾向和杀戮冲动搞出乱子，我跟瓦内萨商量过后决定发布一个任务，打发他们去寻找其他浮空城的踪迹。
再有一个小时左右，这批人就会搭乘飞艇前往指定地点进行搜索……”
“等等！飞艇是怎么回事？”左思突然打断道。
要知道上次离开浮空城的时候，这玩意连个计划都还没有呢。
怎么才十几天的功夫，居然就直接把实物给造出来了？
虽然他也知道飞艇的构造并不复杂，甚至可以说是非常简单，就是一个巨大的气囊加下方吊舱，再加一个动力推进系统。
以浮空城魔法与科技相结合的离谱工业能力，估计有了设计图之后最多也就一两个小时便能造出一架来。
但问题是，这飞艇的安全性真的有保障吗？ 经过严格的飞行和恶劣天气测试吗？ 要是遇到会飞的魔法生物攻击是否有驱离或者反击手段？ 任何成熟稳定的飞行器都不是一蹴而就，需要经过长时间的实践检验。
像这种才造出来没几天便直接投入使用的飞艇，怎么想都让人觉得瘆得慌，一点安全感都没有。
“制造飞艇，实际上是为了在另外一片大陆寻找更多隐藏在山区和密林中的部族突然冒出来的想法。
根据另外三个伊莎多拉提出的要求，她们需要一种可以调节高度且慢速飞行的载具，以便能把躲起来的中小型部落一个一个找出来。
武器设计师波尔根据这个要求，给出了一个大型飞艇的设计方案。
为了贯彻成本低廉、便于批量制造、结构简单容易维修和保养的思路，他并没有对飞艇原本的结构做太大改动。
仅仅是把原本用来提供动力的内燃机换成了电机，用您发明的那种圆柱形储能水晶矩阵作为能量源。
除此之外，为了大幅度提高运载能力，波尔给吊舱上恒定了大量一环魔法【羽落术】，使其无论装多少东西都几乎没有什么重量。
这样一来，用很小的气囊浮力就能轻松承载大量的人员和物资，实现远比建造和维持一个永久性传送门更廉价的运载方式。
而且就算气囊遭到破坏，下方的吊舱也不会狠狠地砸向地面，而是会以非常缓慢的速度飘落。
降落的时候更是只要通过反魔法力场，屏蔽一小部分【羽落术】的效果，吊舱的自身重量就会使其降低高度并最终停靠在指定位置上，对于地形几乎没有什么特别要求。
另外，飞艇的气囊还恒定了抗风的魔法效果，可以确保在大风等恶劣气候条件下正常运行。
目前为止，我们暂时只建造了一艘进行飞行和安全方面的实验。”
在说这番话的时候，泰蓝提尔完全没有掩饰对于波尔和他给出飞艇设计方案的赞许。
因为有了这玩意，不仅可以大大提高人口迁徙计划的执行效率，同时还能扩大普兰提亚浮空城的控制范围，降低统治区域各城镇和村庄之间的运输和贸易成本。
如果造的数量够多到形成像公交车那样稳定的班次，甚至可以完全放弃修筑和保养道路，以后不管是出行还是买卖货物都通过空中交通系统来完成。
这样做不仅格外的省钱，而且还十分高效，简直堪称完美。
作为一个拥有地球现代社会思维和见识的人，左思当然不可能不知道飞艇的优点跟缺点。
尤其是在魔法力量的作用下，当载重量大幅度获得提升，同时安全性和稳定性有了保障之后，大型飞艇可是比运输机还要好用的东西。
所以他也跟着满意的点了点头：“听起来似乎相当不错。对了，这艘实验性质的飞艇气囊里注入的是什么气体？氦气吗？”
“不，是氢气。因为这玩意获取起来更容易、成本也更低，而且光是浮空城内日夜不停的电解水就能源源不断的得到。”
泰蓝提尔给出了一个让左思感到心惊肉跳的回答。
“氢？！那岂不是说，整个飞艇的气囊就相当于一个巨大的炸弹？只要往里扔一个火苗进去，它就会瞬间变成绚丽的巨大烟花在空中绽放？”左思忍不住嘴角抽搐着反问道。
可泰蓝提尔却满不在乎的耸了耸肩膀：“关于这一点，波尔也在提交设计方案的时候提出过。
我们的研究人员正在加紧开发一种相对比较廉价的氦气提取方式。
等有结果之后，自然会用氦气取代原本的氢气。
不过现在嘛……
先用氢气凑合一下问题也不大。
反正天上永远要比地上安全得多，起码没有那么多的亡灵、怪物和打家劫舍的盗匪。
更何况那些玩家根本不会真的死亡，就算出现什么意外也只是损失一具克隆体和少量的物资。
比起走陆路需要准备的东西和遭遇的危险，根本算不了什么。
当然，如果您想要在费伦推行这种交通工具，最好三思而后行。
我可不确定那些邪恶的巨龙、翼龙、狮鹫和其他一些拥有飞行能力的生物，是否会对从自己巢穴跟领地上空飘过的飞艇发起攻击。
至少在我们找到一种可以装备在飞艇上的自卫武器之前先别急着推广。”
“你放心好了，在氦气取代氢气之前，我才不会把如此危险的东西拿出来作为公共交通工具，那简直就是在谋杀。如果没什么别的事情我就先走了，这边你和瓦内萨多盯着点。”
说完这句话，左思便直接连续穿过数道传送门返回法师塔，在接下来的日子里一边通过火花的力量在黑暗虚空中寻找新世界的坐标，一边阅读耐瑟瑞尔卷轴从里边汲取大量的魔法理论知识。
与此同时，浮空城内整整一百四十多名从各自学院毕业的玩家们，眼下也已经集结完毕，正站在巨大飞艇的阴影下，仰起头目瞪口呆看着这个庞然大物。
About two or three minutes later, Jack, who was wearing plate armor and a fully enclosed helmet, could not help but curse in an amazed tone: "Fuck! Our floating city actually has a means of transportation like an airship? You must be kidding! Moreover, the ratio of the airship's pod to the airbag is completely wrong! Normally, the latter should be dozens of times larger than the former!
How on earth did it float?"
“Do you think that in this world full of magical powers, airships will be the same as in the real world?
I bet there's a lot of magic on this thing.
I asked a wizard apprentice a few days ago and found out that in the first ring of arcane magic there is a magic called [Feather Fall], which can make a person or an object become as light as a feather.
Maybe there are many similar spells constantly cast on the pod.
Damn it!
I really like this virtual game world more and more. "
Wu Sheng stuck out his tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.
"Hahaha! Me too! Compared to the strange real world, this place is more familiar to us old-timers. Let's go in and see what's going on inside the airship."
After that, Jack patted his teammate's shoulder vigorously and quickly climbed up the rope ladder.
Wu Sheng followed closely behind.
After a short while, more than 140 players entered the spacious pod.
Since it was a hastily built product, there is basically no decoration or furnishing inside the pod. It is simply divided into five parts based on function.
The compartment closest to the tail is the core power system, which houses the electric engine, energy crystal matrix, and control and operating system.
Obviously, this part is not open to players for the time being. Instead, it is operated by Boll and his team. They will also collect design flaws and problems that may occur during the test flight of the airship, and then take them back for upgrades and improvements.
As for the second part, it is a warehouse used to store supplies.
There are piles of fresh water, wine, grain, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk for the players to eat and drink, as well as replacement equipment such as weapons, armor, shields, bows and crossbows, as well as consumables such as arrows, fire glue, holy water that can cause additional damage to undead creatures, small incendiary bombs for large-scale clearing, and liquid hydrogen-oxygen bombs.
However, since there are only more than 140 players, the supplies do not seem to be very much, and the warehouse area inevitably gives people a slightly empty feeling.
The third and fourth parts are living areas.
There are not only separate small rooms and soft beds for sleeping, but also a large comprehensive kitchen for cooking, a public canteen, an entertainment lounge, a gym and a training ground.
As for the last area, it is a semi-enclosed deck leading to the outside, which can also be called an observation deck or a weapons platform.
Of course, since there are no suitable weapons to install at the moment, we only made some ordinary crossbows and bed crossbows with rotating direction functions as a demonstration.
But players can use this place to drop bombs and incendiary bombs from the warehouse and carry out large-scale indiscriminate bombing on the ground.
As the designer of the airship and the person with the highest decision-making power for this mission, Bol first took the players on a rough tour from beginning to end and clearly explained various precautions. Then he ordered the removal of the anti-magic force field effect, and then powered on the electric motor and slowly drove away from the floating city of Plantia.
Seeing that the first batch of elites could actually embark on their journey in such a spectacular means of transportation, the other players who had not yet obtained real professional levels showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
"Fuck! I've never been to the sky since I was born. I really want to ride an airship once!"
"I have flown a few civilian airplanes, but I feel like they are definitely not comparable to airships. If I had known that the first batch of graduates from the academy would receive this kind of extra benefit, I wouldn't have wasted my time doing those side missions to make money."
"Who says it's not? Going out on an adventure in an airship is exciting and thrilling just thinking about it."
"Damn it! I can't stand it anymore! I have to go back to the Warrior Academy for extra training now!"
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Together, together!"
"Is there any apprentice from the Mage Tower who would like to hang out with me in the library?"
“Me, me, me!”
"Thieves Academy, assemble here! Today we're going to challenge ourselves to get through those rooms full of traps within five minutes."
…
All of a sudden, more than 90% of the players seemed to be stimulated. They swept away their previous thoughts of wanting to lie down and find loopholes, and madly threw themselves into the almost self-abuse training, and even ignored the tasks issued by the floating city on weekdays.
As for the remaining small group, it’s not that they don’t want to work hard, but they are all pregnant and dare not do any strenuous activities.
Even many female players began to regret their original choice.
But the problem is that having a child involves an upfront investment of time cost, so they are unwilling to give up halfway. They can only grit their teeth and hold on, waiting for the first reward to be received before catching up.
As the daily manager of the floating city, Vanessa immediately smiled meaningfully after noticing the change in wind direction and atmosphere, and directly asked the main brain Isadora to release a preview of the game update in the virtual world "Infinite City".
That is to say, in half a month, a new world will be opened for all players who have obtained professional levels.
In the new world, they can freely join any force, or unite to form their own force, and even destroy, kill, plunder, conquer, and rule all villages and towns, and even declare themselves kings and establish a country.
In short, there is no taboo as long as the interests of the floating city of Plantia are not harmed.
Moreover, the tasks and rewards given will be different depending on the route and camp chosen by each player.
If the giant airship that flew over the floating city before was equivalent to throwing a big firecracker into the crowd, then this update preview was a fuel-air bomb that instantly drove thousands of players crazy.
Jack, who had just logged off the airship to rest, immediately found his good teammate. His eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he grinned and asked, "Dude, have you seen the latest announcement?"
"Hmm! Such important news, unless I am deaf and blind, how could I not see it?"
Wu Sheng subconsciously clenched his fists and gave an affirmative answer without thinking.
"So what are your intentions and plans? In other words, do you want to join a certain camp, or do we want to form a new camp together and work alone?" Jack asked tentatively, touching the stubble on his chin.
Wu Sheng responded without hesitation: "Is there any need to ask? Of course I will work alone!
The description of that new world is pretty clear: it's a medieval place with a few dragons and a little magic.
With our knowledge and experience, we can easily form a mercenary team.
At that time, we will first train the soldiers through small-scale wars, and then slowly increase the number of people until we can capture cities, cede land and become king.
Of course, in order to achieve this goal quickly, we must attract more players to join.
As for the number, it is best to keep it between fifty and one hundred."
"Hahahaha! We are thinking the same thing! I think this mission is a good opportunity.
After all, those who can graduate from their respective academies within half a month must be elite fighters like you and me.
We will select and recruit some of them as the core, and then select some from the rest of the players, and we will be able to form an invincible and powerful team."
Jack watched with a laugh and rubbed his hands together, ready to do a great job.
"It will take at least half a month for the new world to open. During this time, we must upgrade our professional level as much as possible and accumulate combat experience. Most importantly, we must perform well in the missions so as to gain more appeal and influence among the player community."
While talking, Wu Sheng poured the sticky, nutritious meal on his plate, which had no texture or taste at all, into his mouth.
After eating this disgusting-looking food for more than half a month, he felt that his taste system had begun to degenerate.
If I couldn't taste real food in the game world, I would probably go crazy.
In fact, it wasn't just him, the other players had similar reactions.
Some of the more spoiled ones even start to develop stress reactions and anorexia. They can't help but feel nauseous and want to vomit when they see the nutritious meals. They would rather exchange the little money they have earned in the game into real-world currency to buy food than endure this torture.
Jack also pinched his nose and poured the sticky paste from the plate into his mouth, then drank a large glass of water in one breath to put it into his stomach. He then let out a long breath and cursed in a low voice: "This extremely bad taste and flavor always reminds me of the vomit that drunkards spray out at the door of the bar. I really don't understand how the future society three hundred years later can come up with such an anti-human thing."
"Because it is provided free of charge to all the poor people who can't afford food, ensuring the most basic right to survival. So don't complain. After completing this task and getting the reward, I will go online to buy some fresh vegetables and meat and cook a delicious meal for you." Wu Sheng comforted him as he threw the empty plate into the automatic washing machine next to him.
"You said that! I'll keep it in mind!"
Since Jack had tasted the cooking skills of this teammate who was from the kitchen squad on the airship, his eyes lit up immediately and his mouth began to secrete a lot of saliva.
"No problem! My greatest strength is that I never break my promises. Let's go back to the virtual world and see where the airship is now."
After that, the two of them got up and returned to their temporary residence, lying in the huge egg-shaped life support system.
In the blink of an eye, their consciousness was injected into the clone's brain through psychic signals.
After a brief trance, Jack and Wu Sheng woke up from their beds in the living area of the airship.
After briefly checking and organizing their equipment, they immediately went to the semi-enclosed deck outside.
Since the flight altitude is only over one thousand meters, the situation on the ground can be clearly seen through the telescope.
Among them, the zombies wandering along a country road and the ghouls moving extremely fast and strangely soon attracted the attention of the two.
"What is that?"
Jack couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"Those are the undead creatures that people become after death due to the negative energy. The lowest level of them are skeletons and zombies, while the higher level ones are ghouls. When you reach your destination, the biggest threat you will face will probably come from them."
Captain Paul, who happened to be taking a breath on the deck, explained in a nonchalant tone.
"Is there anything I should pay attention to when dealing with them?" Jack asked very humbly.
He didn't know that the person in front of him was actually from the same world as him, and he thought that the other person was some high-level NPC who possessed a lot of knowledge and secrets.
Of course, Boll was already used to this attitude of the players, and replied calmly: “There are two points to note.
First, most of the undead creatures have no so-called vital points, so if you want to kill them you have to beat them to pieces; second, the undead in this world are different from the undead in other worlds, and they may carry deadly magical plagues in their bodies, so it is best to take a bottle of specially prepared potion immediately after the battle.
Since you are a priest, you have more advantages in dealing with undead than other professions.
Whether it's the ability granted by the gods to dispel or control undead creatures, or those positive energy spells and the fire spells unique to the Phoenix God, they can all cause amazing damage to them.
Alternatively, you can also apply holy water or holy oil to your weapon to achieve the same effect.
In short, encountering small-scale zombies or ghouls should not be too difficult a challenge for you.
However, if you are unlucky enough to encounter hundreds or even thousands of undead, I suggest that you fight while retreating back to the location of the airship.
I will provide you with some air fire cover at that time."
Jack nodded thoughtfully: "I see, thank you for your advice. One last question, how far are we from the mission location?"
"Half an hour! We will be above the mission area in half an hour. You can start packing and preparing for landing. I suggest you bring at least three days' worth of food, a flask of low-alcohol wine, two bottles of healing potions, and a bottle of plague neutralizing potion, plus some other supplies and a fireworks wand for sending signals to the sky."
After saying this, Bol no longer paid attention to these players, turned around and walked straight towards the core area at the tail.
Under his command and control, only half an hour later, the airship began to slowly descend in altitude, and finally lowered the rope ladder about 20 meters above the ground.
More than 140 elite players, carrying weapons and bags, climbed down from the edge of the pod one after another, and then began to swing their axes and saws to chop down the surrounding trees, clear weeds and rocks, and quickly cleared a large area of relatively flat open space.
As for the cut down trees, they were not wasted. They were tied into rafts and erected as walls to build a simple temporary camp.
After doing all this, they got together for a meeting and divided the search area on the map into countless small blocks.
Each team will claim one piece according to the number of people.
As for those "lone wolves" who do not have a team yet, they will temporarily join a team with fewer people.
Since this is the first mission and it is so far away from the floating city, the players are all extremely cautious, fearing that they might accidentally lose their lives here and miss the most exciting and thrilling adventure.
After all, they knew after entering the game that their "resurrection point" was in the floating city. It would take two or three days to get to such a far place by airship, and even if they were resurrected instantly after death, it would be impossible to make it back.
As a team of only two people, it was inevitable that several people would be crammed into Jack and Wu Sheng's team.
These include two fighters, a rogue, and a warlock.
Yes!
The only warlock among more than 140 players became a member of their team.
It's not that no one wants a warlock who is an orthodox arcane spellcaster, but that this warlock looks a little unreliable.
Not only was she a little girl of only fourteen years old, but she also had the bloodline of a forest elf and a woodland creature. She looked frail, was only less than one and a half meters tall, was not very courageous, and was even a little afraid of the dark.
In the eyes of the elite soldiers, bodyguards and killers, this girl was definitely a burden, so no one was willing to take her with them.
Only Wu Sheng felt that the girl was pitiful. At the same time, he believed that the spellcaster would be of great use in the future, so he chose to take her with him to try it out.
If it doesn't work, we can just go our separate ways after this mission is over.
After informing each other of their names and specialties, the six-member team headed into the depths of the dense forest facing the rising sun.
Because the little warlock Caroline's strength attribute was very low, only seven points, she couldn't carry too many supplies. The strong Jack took the initiative to take over the girl's backpack.
As the understanding between each other was very limited, the team seemed very dull along the way and basically no one talked.
But after about an hour of walking, the situation improved significantly.
To be precise, they encountered a group of creatures that were very common in this world before the outbreak of the magic plague - wild boars.
However, they were different from ordinary wild boars. These dozen wild boars of all sizes were obviously dead, and they exuded a strong stench of decay. Some wounds that seemed to have been bitten had a large number of cysts that made one's scalp numb and black and red worms that kept wriggling.
“Aa ...
As expected, the timid Caroline broke the silence among the team members with a scream that even a soprano could not reach.
