Chapter 425: The Forsaken Realm (14) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
"No! Wait!" The hairs on the body of [Coriander Cult] stood on end. For a moment, he felt that he was really going to die. He completely forgot that this was just a game and that he could be resurrected again after being killed. "I can explain!"
Bai Jinshu raised his chin towards the golden player and said, "Then explain it to me."
He just went into the Mage Tower to see if there was anything good to loot, and as soon as he came out, he heard someone trying to snatch his students from him.
It's a bit outrageous indeed.
Bai Jinshu looked at Hector silently.
No matter how you look at it, this kid is just an unlucky passerby who was forced by him to embark on an adventure. He has no qualifications to be a wizard. If he goes to the Wizard Tower as an apprentice, he will be the kind of person who can only learn the lowest level spells day after day for ten years, and then leave the Wizard Tower when enough time is available.
Is there anyone who would compete with him for a student like this?
You players are really hungry.jpg
Not understanding... and confused.
Hector shuddered under the death gaze of his mentor: "Old... Teacher, I can cast fireball now!"
He said quickly: "I'll show you!"
As he spoke, he stood up from the ground, made the gestures he had just practiced, and then muttered something.
As he chanted, Bai Jinshu indeed felt that a very small part of the fire element around him was gathering in the direction of Hector, but most of it was still floating in the air.
The fire elements attracted by Hector gathered around his palms, and most of them tried to merge with the magic veins in his body, but because the opponent's talent was indeed too low, only a smaller part successfully merged in.
These weak fire elements swirled around in his body according to the spell he chanted, and barely relied on the principle of element aggregation to drive some elements in the air to tumble upwards along with his movements.
A small irregular fireball appeared in Hector's hand, shot forward, moved forward more than ten centimeters in the air, and then dissipated into the air.
A fireball spell that couldn't have failed.
However, combined with the tiny amount of fire elements that Hector had gathered, Bai Jinshu was a little surprised that it could reach this level.
He originally thought that Hector would not be able to release anything, or only a small flame.
Unexpectedly, this operation, which was not very practical but very fancy, actually allowed him to release a "fireball".
Hector himself looked shocked.
He looked at his hands, then at the direction where the fireball disappeared: "I...I really released the teacher!"
Hector's face flushed slightly with excitement, and he couldn't hold back his voice: "I just read in the textbook that most wizards need the assistance of a wand or staff when they cast a spell for the first time. When I tried it with my bare hands just now, I could only release one or two small sparks!"
He just listened to what the Coriander God said, and with the intention of giving it a try without paying, he recited the spell as he was taught.
The tiny spark turned into a fireball the size of a fingernail.
But that’s also a fireball!
The book says that the first step for beginners is to work hard to gather the elements and transform them into visible entities. The higher the natural affinity of the wizard, the easier it is to do this step. There are even geniuses who can feel all the corresponding elements around them rushing towards them the first time they recite the spell.
The second step, which is also the most difficult and equal step for beginners, is to control the state of the element's external entity.
In other words, the reason why the fireball is a "ball" instead of a square or a five-pointed star is because the "ball" is the simplest and easiest form of element control for beginners.
How many wizards would have to spend months practicing just to try to gather the scattered sparks into a fireball, but he actually succeeded on the spot by reciting the spell and using the special casting gestures taught to him by the Coriander Cult.
Hector's face was full of shock. He looked at the Coriander God Cult that was picked up by his teacher, and then looked at his own hand.
He had some idea of his own abilities. It was definitely not because he was gifted, but because the little tricks taught him by the other party really had incredibly magical effects.
"Teacher!" Hector spoke quickly, "The Coriander God Cult didn't want to compete with you for students. In fact, he was... uh, he was, he had heard of your great name for a long time! So he also came to become your disciple! Just now, he saw that I couldn't cast the fireball after learning it for a long time, so he gave me some pointers!"
No matter what, let’s save this kind-hearted man’s life first.
“Sister Yan, Sister Yan!” Hector made full use of his skills in pretending to be pitiful. “I just couldn’t learn the fireball technique. If it weren’t for his guidance, I might not be able to release any fireballs now.”
So don't let the teacher kill him and turn him into a puppet!
Otherwise, what will happen to his magic learning!
Guan Hongyan was very disappointed: "Can't you just learn on your own?"
Why learn magic from someone with such a name?
What magic can a man who eats coriander do!
The moment this sinful vegetable enters his mouth and slides into his esophagus after being chewed, this person's level is stuck here and he will only have a relatively failed life!
Bai Jinshu ignored Guan Hongyan, whose face was filled with the expression "Xiangcai should die", and instead looked at the player thoughtfully: "Come to be my disciple?"
This player seems to be a good tool to teach Hector magic...
He looks like he is good at teaching students.
Or maybe these weaker mages can understand each other.
The Coriander Cult, who had no idea what the other party was thinking, said: “Ah… ah, right, right!”
Now he remembered why he came here.
Wasn’t it because his old friend in the regular team told him that his trumpet triggered a favor he had never seen before that he came here?
So becoming someone's disciple is the correct way to take on this task?
"Teacher, are you willing to take me in as your apprentice?" He asked tentatively. "I'm a very good mage. I'm the best mage in the country. I'm not the best mage in the world because I haven't participated in professional competitions."
Then, should the pop-up window for accepting the quest be displayed to trigger the favor?
[Coriander Cult] waited for a long time, but didn't see the task pop-up window, but waited for a question from his future mentor: "Will you change your name?"
[Coriander Cult]: "Ah?"
"Change your name," his instructor's voice was cold, "or you might be assassinated by my teammates in the middle of the night."
Guan Hongyan, a teammate who would assassinate others in the middle of the night, said: "No, I can't accept someone with a criminal record into our team!"
[Coriander Cult]: No? Wait? What criminal record?
You guys, the NPCs who suddenly came to rob the Mage Tower, will have a criminal record, right? !
He is an honest adventurer. Even when this game had the most players, he never started a red team in the wild, started a vendetta, issued a bounty, or blocked other people's resurrection points.
He can be called a good player with twenty-four virtues.
Of course, it was also because he was just a minor at that time, so his parents restricted his gaming time every day. It was not enough for him to go online every day to study skills, play pvp and advance the main line. He had no time to block other people's resurrection points... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
"Just change it to something else," a gentle-looking man walked out from the n.pc group, "Just remove the word cilantro from your name."
[Coriander Cult]: "Then I want to make [all bosses who make their employees work 996 with only one day off and no overtime pay die]?"
"It's too long..." Yun Guang twitched his lips. Isn't there a limit on the length of the ID in this game? "A shorter one?"
[Coriander Cult]: "[Bosses who sent 60-second voice messages on WeChat to force people to leave work to process reports are all dead]."
Isn’t this about the same length?
How much does this player dislike his supervisor and boss?
Yun Guang held his forehead with his hand: "You don't want us to have to call your name for several seconds when we communicate in the future, right?"
[Coriander Cult]: "Then I call [Employees who only have three days off for the annual holiday and don't take New Year's Eve off and have to work before the fifth day of the New Year are more resentful than ghosts]."
"It's called [Grudge is heavier than ghosts]," Bai Jinshu finally interrupted the worker's incompetent rage, "Change it now."
[Coriander Cult]: It’s not impossible.
But is the requirement of this favor mission so special? What happened to you, Coriander? What kind of unfair clause is it that if your ID contains Coriander, you cannot accept the mission!
He silently rummaged through his backpack, trying to find a name change card, but regretfully discovered that he didn't keep it when he lost the game.
"No drilling..." He looked up at the n.pcs around him.
The name change card in the game costs 200 diamonds each, and diamonds can only be recharged through the mall.
He was just a high school student with only a dozen yuan in pocket money a week. How could he have money to buy games?
Bai Jinshu waved to the crowd behind him. Su Hao stepped forward and rummaged through the bag of treasures they had looted from the Mage Tower for a long time before pulling out a purple gem. "Is this the diamond?"
This thing seemed to be some kind of spellcasting material, used to stabilize the various magics in the wizard tower. When they were planning to loot it all, they were stopped by Delmis, and in the end they only took out these few.
"Do you think it's enough?" Su Hao rummaged through the bag for him for a long time. "If it's not enough, we'll go back and collect more."
That room is full of them.
"That's enough," the [Coriander Cult] looked at the transaction with shock as n.pc made a move worth tens of thousands of diamonds, "I can change it now."
A few seconds later, the [Coriander Cult] became the [Grudge is Heavier than Ghosts] and officially became the second cheap student of Delmis.
The investors in the barrage were jealous.
[Why... Why... Hector is at least a native, how can a player like you become a disciple of Delmis? ]
[How come some people can get a mentor just by drinking or playing games, but I have been in several wizard towers for several years and no one has taken me away! ]
[I support Sister Yan'er this time! The name of the Coriander Cult sounds very dark! People with criminal records cannot join our team! ]
[People now say that resentment is heavier than ghosts. 】
[Isn’t this even darker? ]
[I can't accept this. I was the first one to come here and enter this live broadcast room... I was the first one to find out that Delmis was a big shot... Why do you look so skilled in learning from him? ]
【White scholar, get out.】
[Is there any anime to watch in the Western fantasy world? 】
[The Western Fantasy World is a Western Fantasy World, not a primitive world. Can we also connect to the Foundation forum website? 】
[Teacher! This kid is obviously not a good guy, Teacher! He is so skilled in learning from his teacher, he is an apprentice who can be learned by anyone! ]
[Anyone can be a teacher of God...]
[Pure passerby, what happened to the investors in this space? 】
[There are no investors in this space. Everyone is here to watch the big guys' adventures in another world and steal some skills. ]
[What is it now? ]
[The master didn't steal it, but just watched the big guy show off. Now the big guy has accepted two students in a row, one is a passing adventurer, and the other is a worker player who hates his boss. Their Taoism is broken. ]
…
Bai Jinshu naturally didn't know that his casual act of accepting students had broken the hearts of a group of poor players.
After confirming that this player could teach Hector magic, he felt more at ease and started to play badly.
"Have you finished reading these books?" He looked at Hector, "Take the useful ones and leave the useless ones."
Hector said weakly: "No..."
He was so focused on practicing the fireball technique that he didn't even bother to look at the book at the back, let alone flipping through it.
"I can put this in my backpack and let Hector learn it slowly," the player who officially changed his name to [Grudges are heavier than ghosts] raised his hand and said actively, "I can put a lot in my bag."
"Dermis," White Moth's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and whispered, "The player's backpack is in another dimension. You can put as many things in it as you want, as long as the backpack grid is not full, no matter how big it is, you can keep stuffing it."
Bai Jinshu glanced around.
"Then put it away."
[The resentment is heavier than the ghost] I tried to retract it.
Although I don't know why these books, which were originally blank models, have been taken out now, and there are words in them, but these things can indeed be put into the backpack, and all these books have been judged by the system as [Books]. They can be stacked in a backpack grid until 999 books are stacked in a group, and then they will occupy the next grid.
[Grudge is heavier than ghosts] Batch operation, within a few minutes, the pair of magic tomes that were brought out by everyone in a mess turned into two sets of [999] [Books] in the backpack.
The backpack that contained 1998 books was still hanging on his waist as small as usual, as if there was nothing inside.
It’s indeed a different dimension.
Bai Jinshu nodded with satisfaction, it turned out that players are the most useful tools.
The new tool man shrank his neck under Guan Hongyan's murderous gaze and said to his mentor: "Mentor, where are we going now?"
What exactly is this favor mission for?
"Go to... other continents?" White Moth thought for a moment and replied, "Our goal is to travel to all continents and open the gate to the Kingdom of God."
"The gate to the Kingdom of God?" [Grudge is heavier than a ghost] frowned in surprise, "What is this?"
The exploration team members looked at each other.
"Don't you know?" Zhao Yinglai's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be carefree and leaned over, linking shoulders with the player and said, "This is the goal of all adventurers, to become the legendary purple-haired hero who travels across all continents and finally opens the gate to the kingdom of God."
She looked at the player's expression casually and tapped Hector with her chin: "We thought you wanted to take Delmis as your teacher because of this legend. Why, don't you know this news?"
[The resentment is heavier than the ghost] blinked.
So is this the plot of this favor?
Can a purple-haired adventurer open the gate to God's kingdom by traveling across all continents?
Was this something that happened in the main storyline of Breath of Slenkmed before?
[Grudge is heavier than ghosts] He tried hard to recall, he played the game too early, and the plot of this game had long since turned into countless unclear memories.
When I think about it for the first time, I really can’t remember whether this happened or not.
But didn't the friend who invited him to play the game open a small account to replay the plot? This friend is the one who should be favored.
[The resentment is heavier than the ghost] He realized belatedly that he had a friend waiting for him outside the Mage Tower.
"I'm not sure. I was studying magic in seclusion before coming here," he made up an excuse. "But I came here with my companion. He is not a mage and cannot enter the Mage Tower. Should I go out and ask him?"
The exploration team members did not object.
With a flash of magic patterns, everyone appeared outside the Mage Tower. Zhao Yinglai repeated what he had just said and successfully received a second confused face.
"It seems that the players don't know these things," Xu Zichen's lips moved slightly, and he whispered inaudibly, "This may also be an opportunity for this world to become an independent small space."
After the players gradually left this continent, some unknown changes seemed to be discovered here.
"Let me ask again," Zhao Yinglai said softly, "Do you have anything you want to ask?"
The exploration team members thought for a few seconds and actually remembered something.
"Where is the great mage?" Guan Hongyan frowned. "We robbed his tower, but he didn't react at all?"
Isn’t this a bit abnormal?
Although she didn't understand mages, the Mage Tower, as a representative building of mages, didn't have any reaction after they made such a commotion?
"I remember... just now Delmis asked where the Grand Mage had gone," Yun Guang said softly, "and the player had a strange expression on his face."
He subconsciously looked behind Delmis, as if the Grand Mage was supposed to be there.
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Yinglai continued to move forward: "[Grudge is heavier than ghosts], you can enter the Mage Tower, so you used to be an apprentice of the Mage Tower?"
In fact, the [Grudge Heavier Than Ghost] who was the last disciple of the Grand Mage in the Mage Tower lied without blinking: "Yes, my friend is not a mage so he can only wait for me outside. We are both adventurers who have admired the master for a long time."
Anyway, it is said that the one who met them was a small account, and they probably didn't know their friend's big account.
As expected, these n.pcs didn’t recognize it.
"We are looting the Mage Tower now," Zhao Yinglai said, hinting, "Did the Grand Mage in the Mage Tower leave recently for some reason? Why is there no response?"
[The resentment is heavier than the ghost] is also very strange.
"Logically speaking..." He hesitated for a moment, not knowing if this was a plot, but still answered, "Logically speaking, the Grand Mage should have been in the Mage Tower the entire time. I just don't know why he's not here today."
In the game plot, except for those disasters that affected the entire kingdom, the Grand Mage, as the most powerful wizard in the entire country, would take action and work with the player to quell the disaster. At other times, he would basically be a fixed NPC standing in the Mage Tower.
As for why the Grand Mage did not show up this time... he actually didn't know.
"Maybe there's a crisis in the kingdom?" he guessed. "The Grand Mage is responsible for the safety of the entire kingdom. Maybe he's gone to other places to quell the disaster?"
However, in the plot, generally speaking, when the disaster reaches this level, the savior of the world, that is, the players, are needed to save the world.
"Breath of Slenkmed" has a total of four major expansion packs, and each expansion pack ends with a full-server battle, from the defense of the first main city that players enter after birth, to the internal unification war of the Kingdom of Slenkmed. The third expansion pack is the invasion of magic races from other continents, the battle for the survival of the continent, and finally, during the time when he was playing the game A, the fourth expansion pack had not been updated yet, and the main storyline stayed at the point where people discovered the magic races that tried to invade this continent, and their hometown was infected with a strange disease, plants withered and animals died, and no life could survive anymore.
This strange disease was originally only in a small mountain village, but it spread to the entire continent in just over a decade, so they wanted to abandon their hometown and come to this continent. Now this strange disease has also spread to the map familiar to the players, and they need to explore the truth of this strange disease.
After that, the game has never been updated.
And this inexplicable disease seemed to remain outside of Slenkmed forever as the plot ended. After so many years, this continent is still full of spring flowers, with no signs of any strange disease.
"Then is there any place where we can get information about the Grand Mage?" The members of the exploration team looked at each other, and Yun Guang asked first.
"The Lord of Besai City?" Wang Wenhua had just finished watching this plot and was deeply impressed. "The previous Lord of Besai City was also a mage, but because he had to inherit the family business, he could not enter the mage tower he wanted to study in depth. So he simply invited the most famous great mage to his territory and treated him as a distinguished guest."
"Later, the old city lord passed away, and his son became the new city lord. Although he does not have the same yearning and respect for mages as his father, he has been influenced by them since he was a child. Unlike the city lords of the other three cities, he likes to collect all kinds of magical weapons."
This part of the plot requires asking the great magician for help, so you want to present special weapons to the city lord and ask for his help.
"So we are going to grab various weapons now, right?" Zhao Yinglai completely understood.
"No!" [The resentment is heavier than the ghost] denied it quickly.
Why are these n.pcs so obsessed with stealing?
"Logically, we should ask the legendary swordsmith in Besser City who swore never to forge weapons again because his wife and children died in the war," Wang Wenhua thought for a moment, "but I have a friend who is his last disciple. We can just ask my friend to do it."
It makes sense, life players are also an important part of online games. The life profession of "Slenkmede" needs to do various special tasks to brush attribute points, and only after the attribute points meet the standard can they be "discovered" by the mentor through special tasks. Some players who don't like fighting and killing will also choose to brush attribute points and then start the life play of the game.
The legendary swordsmith in the plot is the professional mentor of the life profession [Blacksmith].
No matter whether this last disciple has hundreds of thousands...just tell me whether he is the last disciple or not!
Wang Wenhua thought for a moment and said, "If we want to go to the city lord to ask for information about the great mage, we can go find this friend and ask him to make weapons for us."
If I just ask my old friend to come back to the game to help forge a level 30 greatsword, it should be no problem, right?
The exploration team members thought for a few seconds and agreed to each other's suggestion.
Since there are living players who can make equipment, there is no need to snatch it. Although Delmis will definitely be able to snatch it, they are going to gather information, and it is never good to make too much noise.
As Wang Wenhua went offline, at the same time, the patrol teams in the city of Bessey also received three strange alarm messages.
The first one was about a shop owner and his dwarf craftsman in a commercial street. They claimed that their shop had been looted, and the perpetrator was very arrogant and declared that he was going to loot the wizard tower.
Patrol Captain: ? What kind of psychopath wants to rob the Mage Tower? Read it.
The second one was from the front desk lady of the Adventurer’s Guild. She said that she was robbed during working hours, and the robber did not want any silver, gold coins, treasures, or weapons, but only the list of adventurers from the Adventurer’s Guild.
Patrol Captain: It's okay, miss. I'm just an adventurer who is desperate to join the Adventurer's Guild, but can't pass the main city's review, so I'm trying to add my name to the list.
The third one is about a bard in the city of Besser. He was holding his harp and said that he was interrupted by a strange adventurer when he was singing the legend of the dragon slayer as usual. The adventurer might have secretly brought a dangerous magical item, a dragon, into the city, and he was suspected to have an extraordinary XP against dragons.
The patrol leader looked up at the sky and did not see the dragon: People cannot... but at least they should not...
The author has something to say:
Patrol Captain: Today is another peaceful day in the city of Besser.
Sister Yan: A person who eats coriander can only live a relatively unsuccessful life, and once the word coriander appears in a name, it means that one has a criminal record and will not be able to take the civil service exam in the future (vicious)
