"Speaking of which, Tamashi, why are you affected by fantasy creations like "Sanctuary" and "Kaleidoscope"? "
Outside the blue door of the ruined church, Ash was very confused: "But most spiritual miracles that don't cause physical phenomena won't work on you...Now even the barrier miracle like the Wall of Truth is useless to you!"
Just now, Black Crow passed through the fog wall in full view of everyone and took out the props behind the fog wall.
This scene made everyone numb - if you could cheat, you should have said so earlier! Do we look down on cheaters? We only know how to flatter!
Black Crow was a little embarrassed: "I actually didn't trigger the "Truth Link" at the beginning, but I didn't have... little culture... so I didn't think much about it, and you have a way to crack the Truth Link."
"It was only just now that I remembered that since I had never triggered the Truth Link, the fog wall would be useless to me. I didn't expect that I could pass through it as soon as I touched it."
As an insulator of the virtual world, Tamasi Yashajin, even though he was a genius, could never become a magician, nor would he be affected by most magic spirits, so that he could only heal himself manually, which even Chikara knew. But no one thought that Black Crow's characteristic of ignoring the influence of magic spirits would actually work wonders in such a place.
That's why Ash had this question - why is Black Crow sometimes affected and sometimes not?
"Because of the level of fantasy." Igula guessed: "Creations like "Sanctuary" and "Kaleidoscope" are already idealistic products. The magic spirits in them are probably just serving as the atmosphere group and are unlikely to have much effect at all."
"The more outrageous the fantasy creation, the more Black Crow will be unable to resist it; the closer the miracle is to reality, the more ineffective it will be against Black Crow."
As for Tamashi's characteristics, we can only guess but cannot confirm. After all, this is not just about him alone, but also about his interaction with the world of Senluo. In comparison, everyone is more concerned about what he brought out from behind the fog wall.
In fact, he didn't bring anything with him, except for a slightly glowing hourglass icon on the back of his hand.
According to him, there was a huge hourglass behind the fog wall, and when he saw it, he felt the back of his hand getting hot, and then this pattern appeared. When Ash and others saw the black crow's hourglass, they also felt the back of their hands getting hot, and each of them got an hourglass tattoo - from this point, everyone realized that this was definitely a super fantasy creation.
The feature of "copying and spreading as soon as it is seen" is generally only used in combat situations, such as as an auxiliary means of treating negative debuffs such as diseases and curses. Applying this feature to ordinary props is a waste of money.
After getting the hourglass pattern, they also get information about this one-time prop.
"Shelter Zero Hour Hourglass: Usable times 1/1"
"Effect: After activation, the body's time stops flowing and the soul becomes silent until 12 hours later. When the hourglass is activated, the body becomes immune to all damage. After the hourglass is empty, the body becomes immune to all external influences for the next 600 seconds, and the spirit clears all negative states and returns to absolute health."
Ash looked at Igula and Harvey with inexplicable surprise in their eyes.
This item not only means that they can escape from the "time cage" of the dead city - in addition to being 'immune to all external influences within 600 seconds after waking up', just sleeping for 12 hours can allow them to escape the night of the dead city.
More importantly, 'the spirit clears all negative states and restores absolute health'!
The damaged soul and the mutilated body can be completely restored!
No wonder the Grey Fox Magicians have such a high legendary rate. Even if they drown in the virtual world, are eaten by the ichthyosaur, or are crushed to death by the Heroic Soul Legion, they can use this kind of idealistic creations to quickly recover their soul injuries. They enter the virtual world to clock in for work every night and refuse the virtual world's malicious adjustments to their days off - yes, since they can create idealistic creations without limit, they will definitely give priority to making tools that can assist them in their practice and learning!
Gray Fox magicians are not brainless. No matter what beliefs and ideals they have, they know that the higher their strength, the easier it is to get closer to their goals. And they also understand that their idealistic creations can only take effect in "reality". The virtual world will not recognize their random private server props.
Therefore, the correct approach for the Gray Fox Magician is to use idealistic creations to offset his disadvantages in the virtual world and his shortcomings in talent!
That’s why there is the “Truth Link” that forces people to comprehend knowledge points, and the “Sanctuary Zero Hour Hourglass” that can repair soul injuries!
In other words, Ash and his companions arrived two hundred years too late. If they could have come to the heyday of the Gray Fox God Age, they might have seen fantasy facilities such as the "Romance Ritual Sauna", the "Golden River Swimming Pool", and the "Fish-Slaying Dragon Fighting Gym" that assist sorcerers in exploring the virtual world.
Ordinary people don’t have to worry about not having the talent to learn any school of magic they want to learn. They can just watch “The Link to Truth” and force themselves into it!
It was a glorious era, a golden age for magicians.
Igula, who knew more of the inside story, felt even more deeply about this.
Compared with Senluo, the Blood Moon Supreme Lord interfered with the Blood Moon the least, so the development level of the Blood Moon Kingdom was also the worst;
The omniscient Lord sent gods to interfere with the gospel, but because of this, the entire country's civilization is built on the gospel system. Once this system is destroyed, the whole country will collapse and regress;
Lord Senluo Zhan completely transformed Senluo and even became the lord of Senluo's illusion. As a result, Senluo experienced several prosperous times and its level of development was probably the first among all countries. However, when Lord Senluo Zhan had problems, the entire country would be buried with him.
Perhaps the gods do not love the world, but when faced with the test of civilization, they all answered it seriously.
However, for Ash and the others, the fantasy healing effect of the "Zero Hourglass" means that even if they don't kill Silver Lantern, they can still lift the blood curse.
After nearly two months of long pursuit, they finally achieved half of their goal.
"Besides the zero-hour hourglass, what else is behind the fog wall?" asked Igula.
Black Crow shook his head: "There is nothing, just a huge hourglass. And I have tried many ways, but I can't take the hourglass down, but..."
He paused, "A few lines of words appeared next to the hourglass."
"What words?" Ash immediately responded as soon as he asked: "Can you write these words out loud?"
Black Crow fell silent. Although no one could see his expression, everyone could imagine the embarrassment beneath his mask.
He squatted down and wrote and drew on the floor.
When Igula looked over, he saw only a strange crooked symbol that did not correspond to any text. He felt something and asked, "Do you see all the texts crawling?"
Black Crow nodded slightly.
No wonder!
Igula had long been wondering why a combat genius like Black Crow could not read. The Crow Killer Sect was not without basic education, and Black Crow's combat talent was enough to prove that he was extremely intelligent. Learning to read should be an easy task for him.
Even if he doesn't know complex characters, he should be able to recognize basic numbers, right? But he couldn't even read numbers!
It turns out that Black Crow’s illiteracy was not due to external reasons, but because he had severe dyslexia!
Igula had read about related diseases before. It was said that people with this disease could understand simple patterns, but could not read any text with information. To them, words were not dead objects that could be easily recognized, but living things that could crawl!
Are those who are sick also hated by the Void Realm? Igula didn't know. After all, unless the talent is so high that it is unfair for a person not to be a magician, it would not be surprising for a disabled person with dyslexia to not become a magician.
As for whether Black Crow was really hated by the Void Realm, no one knew. Perhaps the magicians just wanted to find a reason for Black Crow's abnormality. After all, they couldn't just be crushed by an "ordinary person", right? Especially those magicians who were beaten by Black Crow, how could they accept losing to a mortal?
Therefore, there is a rumor that "the virtual world is insulated and crows kill all the maniacs."
Igula even suspected that the original Tamashi was just an ordinary person who could not be promoted to a magician due to dyslexia, but as the rumor was spread, he gradually possessed effects such as "immunity to magic spirits" and truly became an insulator - in the world of idealism, the sanctification or demonization of him by the people and villains was enough to become the source of his power.
But in this way, they will not be able to know the message behind the fog wall unless Ash obtains citizenship and goes in to check. However, not only Ash, but they may not be willing to stay here for three years.
"However, we still need to test the effect of the "Zero Hour Hourglass" first..."
Igula, who has always been cautious, naturally would not completely believe this imaginary creation, so he looked at the outsiders in the team: Gwen and Chikara.
The orc brother scratched his head. Since he had already slid to his knees, he was naturally prepared to do the dirty and hard work. However, Gwen raised his hand: "I will take the first test."
"……good."
After getting permission, Gwen pressed the hourglass pattern on the back of her hand, but nothing happened. It was not until Igula waved his hand in front of her that she realized her hourglass had taken effect.
The psychic examined Gwen carefully and found that although her eyes were open, there was no thought in her mind and her soul was completely silent. Then he asked Black Crow to try and found that even the Gray Fox blade could not hurt Gwen at all, and he could not bend a single finger of Gwen.
Gwen seemed to be embedded in time, unaffected by any external influence. Igula laid her on the ground and said, "Basically, it is the same as described. Although we become unconscious after entering the hourglass countdown, we are absolutely safe. Even the silver lamp cannot harm us."
"That is to say, we can escape from the dead city at any time."
"But it's rare to have an environment that is completely free from external interference and independent of the normal passage of time," Igula looked around at everyone: "You should also want to take this opportunity to practice well, right?"
Everyone nodded, especially Black Crow, who had already clenched his fists.
Only Ash's face suddenly drooped: "Well, I feel a little sleepy, how about-"
"Ash, didn't you say before that you wanted to learn fighting spirit and mental skills from me?" Black Crow grabbed Ash's arm and said, "I never had the chance before. Tonight I will teach you my lifelong skills!"
"If I say that's a polite remark, will I get spanked?"
"meeting."
"Okay, how are you going to teach me? Are you going to start with basic physical training?"
"No, you have a good physical foundation, we can go straight into actual combat training."
"Practical training, that is to say...?"
"You're going to get spanked."
