In the largest Fox Lantern Ice House in the center of Kaleidoscope Heipao Town, there were chirping sounds of birds and lively discussions.
"Yesterday, three more ordinary inheritances were taken away from Eternal City. I don't know which lucky person it was..."
"It's just an ordinary inheritance. There is also a Liujin inheritance and a Wushuang inheritance above it!"
"The Flowing Gold Heritage and the Unparalleled Heritage are for those true geniuses. Maybe those two-winged magicians whose magic realm has surpassed the gold level and reached the Holy Land are all stranded in the Time Continent, fighting for the position of the King of Time. I am not arrogant enough to compete with them... I will be satisfied if I can snatch an ordinary inheritance from thousands or tens of thousands of people and control a resource point for a year."
At this time, the female supervisor who was leaning against the counter and looked as ripe as a peach suddenly rang the golden bell. When everyone's attention was drawn to it, she leisurely took out an ink pen and wrote a piece of information on the whiteboard behind her:
"96: In the Ghost Legacy, after every twenty levels, a 'Ghost Key' will appear. The key can be used three times, and you can use it at any time to leave the Legacy."
After writing, the female supervisor shouted, "Table 13 is free!"
In an instant, all the beautiful girls in the ice room looked at the six people at table 13: the most conspicuous one was naturally the black crow camouflaged in black, followed by the tall beast girl with a mask on her face, and the other four were relatively normal - the cold blonde girl with glasses, the quiet blue-haired girl, the red-haired girl who was eating labia, and the curly-haired black-skinned loli with shackles on her hands.
Everyone nodded silently to them in awe to express their gratitude.
After all, the only people who can provide ghost inheritance now are the Sanctuary Magicians. Even though there are many magicians in the Black Robe Town now, the Sanctuary Magicians are still a minority among the minority. This can be seen from the sharing board - among the 96 shared intelligence, less than 10 are about ghost inheritance.
But just paid a little attention to it, and then continued to discuss the Lake Light Heritage and the Eternal City. The red-haired girl indicated that everyone wanted another serving of Red Flame Lala Fat, and the dark-skinned girl asked, "Since it's free, can Alice come over for a meal?"
"That's fine, but what does Alice eat?"
"There should be a bunch of cockroaches here, right? At least there should be rats, right?"
"If you keep talking, the supervisor might even be willing to pay you to eat at the restaurant next door."
The people at the table who got free meals were naturally Ash and his six companions.
After leaving the Dead City, Ash dodged the Four Pillars Cult while searching for the Gray Fox legacy. The two teammates they met in the Dead City, the orc Chikara and the astrologer Gwen, also joined the team as temporary teammates.
Logically speaking, it would be fine if Chikara was bound by a slave contract, after all, he was a Sanctuary fighter, and it would be great to throw him out to cover the rear in case of danger. But Gwen was not only average in combat power, but she was also once the incarnation of the Mercury Trojan Horse. Ash and the others would be saints if they didn't kill her, and now they still carry her, a time bomb, with them, as if they think their adventures are not difficult enough.
However, Gwen had also used the "Sanctuary: Zero Hour Hourglass", so the mercury in her body should have been cleared, and she would not turn into a Trojan horse again; and she once held a high position in the Four Pillars Cult and was familiar with a lot of valuable information, which was just right for Ash and his group of adventurers who had lost their logistics and needed to rob.
More importantly, Gwen didn't want to leave, so she followed them from a distance.
Not wanting to kill her, but unable to ignore her either, Ash asked Igula to keep an eye on her. If she tried to tip off someone or behaved in any other abnormal way, she would be executed immediately. Igula could only manage this new assistant with a gloomy face.
But it must be said that with the guidance of Gwen, the traitor, they were able to avoid the attacks of the Four Pillars several times in advance, and they also raided several secret vaults of the Four Pillars. So they didn't have to worry about feeding the spirits in a short period of time - three-wing spirits require much more gold coins than two-wing spirits. After Ash and others upgraded the spirits to the three-wing level, each spirit needed 3 gold coins a day.
Even in a wasteland with high prices, 3 gold coins are enough for an ordinary person's food expenses for a month!
Fortunately, the four-winged magic spirit Cicada can be fed with the water of the Flowing Golden River and does not need any additional meals, otherwise Ash would go bankrupt.
They came to the Qinri Alliance to search for clues to the legacy, but the situation in the wasteland deteriorated rapidly. Even though they were wearing the identity of "traveling merchants", they were always under surveillance and even expelled from the country. They almost got into a fight in the Bronze Law Sect.
In addition, six days ago, the virtual world changed dramatically, and Ash and his companions wanted to settle down temporarily to collect intelligence, so they came to Black Robe Town again. In the context of the holy war of faith, only trading towns could allow "non-believers" like them.
After arriving at Black Robe Town, Ash and his friends discovered that the floating population here had doubled. Last time they could each have a room, but now there are only three rooms for six people. However, everyone will turn into beautiful girls at night, so it doesn't matter.
The biggest reason for the sudden surge in visitors to Black Robe Town was, of course, the destruction of the War Temple by the Four Pillars Religion, and Black Robe Town was nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the War Temple.
When the War Temple suffered a crushing defeat, many surrounding sects immediately moved into Black Robe Town, both to protect it and to compete for this trade center.
The secondary reason is that the inheritance that appeared in the virtual world has caused the magicians' willingness to communicate to surge.
Unlike Blood Moon and Gospel, Senluo Kingdom does not have any online communication channels, and can only communicate within the sect. This is not a big deal in normal times, anyway, they have nothing to say to the pagans, and the main techniques of different sects are different, so there is not much willingness to communicate with each other.
But now it is different. The Lake Light Heritage of the Sea of Knowledge and the Eternal City of the Continent of Time have become hot topics all over the world. Magicians have a strong desire to communicate with others to analyze gains and losses, so as to make further progress in the inheritance.
As a result, the Senluo magicians spontaneously gathered at the trade center and actively sought information exchange.
Fox Lantern Ice House was originally a restaurant, but because Senluo magicians often came here to discuss and exchange ideas, the ice room manager had an idea and launched a system of "free bills for providing inheritance information". The information provided by everyone was written on the whiteboard behind her for everyone to see, and this place naturally became the information exchange center of Heipao Town.
Some people may be surprised that the magician would not hide the confidential information about the angel inheritance, so how could he discuss it?
However, there are many kinds of intelligence. Of course, no one would talk about the "high-quality intelligence" that can make you ahead of others; but there are also many "strange and interesting stories" that cannot increase your advantage but are very worth discussing. These are the main topics in the ice room.
Also, don't underestimate the magician's desire to express himself.
All magicians must have received the legacy of their predecessors in the virtual world. This natural atmosphere of inheritance means that magicians will not resist communication. Secondly, for a group like magicians who need to constantly input new knowledge, they must output it regularly to maintain physical and mental health.
Just like you will excrete after eating, you will want to write a review after watching a memorable movie, and you will leave a comment after reading a good book... Seeking emotional resonance is the instinct of living things, and seeking knowledge collision is the nature of magicians.
The reason why Ash took the initiative to provide the information about the ghost inheritance was because he heard and saw a lot of interesting information here, so he gave back to the community and saved some money.
First of all, just like Ash obtained the "Ghost Manual", the "Lake Light Manual" and "Time Manual" rewards appeared in the Lake Light Heritage and the Eternal City one after another. This may mean that leaving behind half of the Sorcerer's Manual is a tradition of the angel heritage. It also means that the Lake Light Angel and the King of Time both took the Road of Origin to climb the virtual realm, so they met the Angel of Ruby Mountain and created the Sorcerer's Manual before they died!
It's fine if it's just one angel, but all three angels are taking the Path of Origin. Naturally, the magicians will have this thought: In the distant past, would taking the Path of Origin be the most profitable upward upgrade method?
The modern method of advancement through faction realm is actually a low-level upgrade method with low returns?
The contents of the Lake Light Manual and the Time Manual have also verified the magicians' ideas. It is worth mentioning that the Lake Light Angel seems to be the oldest, followed by the Time King, and the Ghost Prophet is the closest to the modern era.
When the Lake Angel was still a silver magician, there was a shallow sea kingdom composed of silver-scaled fish people in the Sea of Knowledge. In the shallow sea kingdom, there was a special mechanism called "Silver Wing Test". As long as the magicians passed the test, they could obtain the second silver wing and find the golden fish to reach the Continent of Time.
The passing rate of the Silver Wing Test is extremely low, and only a genius magician can pass it, so the Lake Light Angel is quite proud of being able to pass the Silver Wing Test. Judging from the text inside, the relationship between the magician and the Silver Scaled Fishman should have been quite harmonious at that time.
But in the era of the Lord of Time, the Sea of Knowledge became a war hunting ground between magicians and silver-scaled fishmen. Therefore, there was only one way to find the golden fish, that is to kill enough silver-scaled fishmen, strip off their scales, and forge your own second silver wings!
The combat power of Silver-Scaled Fishmen is generally equivalent to that of a one-winged magician, and some are even two-winged magicians. They usually gather in groups and act impulsively, so it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to hunt them.
By the time of the Ghost Prophet, only a small group of Silver Scaled Merfolk remained, and they were exterminated by the Ghost Prophet. From then on, the Second Silver Wing became extinct.
Regarding the description of the Continent of Time, the Ghost Prophet's understanding is not much different from today's, except that two more color mechanisms are recorded.
However, the descriptions of the Lake Angel and the King of Time completely overturned the worldview of modern magicians - there was indeed a country in the past time continent!
At that time, the Time Continent was not called the Time Continent, but the 'Concept Continent'. The native people of the Concept Continent called themselves 'the Spirits of Concepts' and 'the Spirits of Laws', and magicians called them - elves!
They are natural magicians who can regulate the Golden River, control the creatures in the virtual world, develop the resources of the continent, and have a long lifespan. Even if their numbers are small, they can develop a great magician civilization!
Those resource points in the Time Continent that are still in operation are the products of that era!
Obviously, the elves in ancient times and the elves today are different species. In order to distinguish them, magicians call them ancient elves.
In the age of the Lake Angels, there had been frequent frictions between the magicians and the ancient elves, and even a "Sky Turmoil" had broken out, where the ancient elf magicians rode on flying dragons and hunted down magicians of other races everywhere. Human and other magicians were full of complaints and conflicts were intense.
At that time, the magicians were still suppressed by the ancient elves. After all, the alien magicians on the Continent of Time all had two wings, and the ancient elves, since their bodies were on the Continent of Time, could continue to stay on the Continent of Time even if their strength was improved to the Sanctuary Legend!
It is easy to imagine how uncomfortable the alien magicians in "Sky Turmoil" are. Not only do they face groups of ancient elf magicians, but they also have to face Sanctuary Legends who are far superior to themselves! It's like a child being beaten by an adult!
The Lake Light Angel specifically recorded that she had been hunted by the Ancient Elves’ Sanctuary!
After reading "Handbook of Lake Light" and then "Handbook of Time", you will feel it is quite funny.
Because the King of Time is the ancient elf!
But in the era of the Lord of Time, the ancient elven kingdom has declined greatly, and almost all of the outer cities have been lost. They can only defend the eternal city of 'Undying Sunset'.
In the "Handbook of Time", he clearly pointed out the reason for the decline of the ancient elves - the gods such as Blood Moon and Stars used despicable means to kill all the high-ranking ancient elves and continued to suppress the ancient elf kingdom!
Regarding the description of the colorful tail, the Lake Angel and the King of Time are almost the same. They both say that one can catch the colorful tail after finding seven colors. Apparently, in their time, these seven colors can still be found.
By the time you get to Ghostly Prophet, there are only three colors left.
Nowadays, only Liujinhe is left.
Regarding the Faraway Sky and the Lost Dream, in the Age of Lake Angels, the Dream Realm can be entered at will, and the four materials of Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon can be found;
By the time of the Lord of Time, the material 'Wind Wound' had disappeared, but it could be replaced through miracles;
In the age of the Ghost Prophet, not only can missing materials not be replaced, but even the Dream Realm has been occupied by the Nightmare Angel.
In modern times, not only do the four materials not exist, but even the dream country has been shattered.
In general, although the three angels all took the Road of Origin to reach Ruby Mountain, the Angel of Lake Light had a clear goal along the way. Although there were many challenges, he was never confused; the King of Time was much more difficult, and he had to complete many links by himself; and at that time, the Road of Origin had theoretically been cut off for the Ghost Prophet. If he had not been a 'second-round magician', he probably would not have been able to take the Road of Origin.
Comparing the contents of these three angel manuals, the sense of changing times can be felt right through the pages.
However, among the three inheritances of the Eternal City, the Lake Light inheritance, and the Ghost inheritance, the one with the greatest value is not the Ghost inheritance of the distant sky, nor the most ancient Lake Light inheritance.
But it is the heritage of the Eternal City!
Because the lake light and ghosts are at best the inheritance of an angel, but the Eternal City is the heritage of an entire civilization!
There are countless common inheritances in the Eternal City. As long as the magician can get one of them, he can obtain the authority of a resource point in the Time Continent for one year. As long as the magician is in the virtual world, he can receive the resources produced there at any time!
For a two-winged magician, this is already a considerable fortune, not to mention the rewards in ordinary inheritance. And the most desirable thing is that if you can become the successor of the King of Time, you will become the master of the Eternal City!
That is the civilization heritage of the ancient elves, the eternal city recognized by the virtual world!
The value here is simply unimaginable - even the most crazy and greedy magician has never thought of becoming the king of the virtual world!
Ash heard from Sword Lady that the two-winged magicians over at Stars were studying and researching like crazy, and the Stars royal family also specially gave a real reward for the inheritance of the King of Time: a Duke's seat!
After all, if you inherit the Lake Light inheritance or the Ghost inheritance, only you will benefit. But if you can become the lord of the Eternal City, you can protect other two-wing magicians in the virtual world and enhance the foundation of the entire country!
However, compared to seizing the inheritance, more magicians are actually lamenting the loss of the Road to Origin, and they all lament that if they could go back to ancient times, they would be able to easily reach Ruby Mountain.
For example, Chikara has been yelling for days, complaining that the magicians of the past destroyed the environment and were not environmentally friendly, leaving no leftovers for future generations, leaving everyone with nothing to do but work hard and fight internally...
Only Ash vaguely knew that the risks of taking the Road of Origin were probably far greater than the normal advancement of realms.
Because of the secret poison!
Taking the road to origin means being infected with many kinds of secret poisons along the way!
In the era of Lake Light Angel, even if the passing rate of Silver Scale Test and Seven Color Collection was only one in ten thousand, the number of people who passed the test accumulated over time would probably be hundreds, and the secret poison would undoubtedly turn into a deadly poison!
At first, Ash thought that there was no secret poison in the past, but when he looked carefully, he found that the nature of the golden fish, the colorful tail, and the colorless dream were not written in the three manuals. It was obvious that the angels subconsciously kept something back and only wrote about the specific process, but left the result vague.
These angels were obviously not idiots, the idiot could only be Ash himself. The secret poison must have some effect that he still didn't understand, so the angels would continue to walk the path of origin.
Precisely because they did not write down the result, Ash still cannot guess the truth of the dream.
Ordinary magicians generally believe that "golden fish" and "seven-colored tail" refer to specific things. Only people like Ash who have walked the path of origin know that the golden fish and the seven-colored tail are both rhetorical devices. The golden fish refers to the fish scale waves rising from the golden ocean in the sky, and the seven-colored tail refers to the landscape formed by the six colors of the golden river.
Then the dream of losing color should also be a metaphor. What is it metaphorically referring to?
"Sure enough, there is no information about the blank concept..." Igula murmured.
"It would be strange if there is. So far, only the Thousand Wish Illusion Master has mentioned the concept of blankness once, and that is the inheritance of the Lord of the Gods in Ruby Mountain." Ash said as if it was a matter of course: "There are only three legendary magicians in Senluo. If there is information about the concept of blankness here, it means that the three legends left the front line and came to this ice house to eat the signature Lala Fei - how is it possible!"
"Who suggested that we come here to collect conceptual intelligence?" Igula gritted her teeth and wanted to raise her hand to hit Ash on the head, but when she saw the cute skin of the red-haired girl, she put her hand down in disappointment.
"The Four Pillars Cult has stopped attacking and has taken the initiative to shrink its defense line." Gwen put down the information in her hand. It was the information she collected from various channels tonight: "The front line is in a state of confrontation."
"Normal. Now the primary goal of all magicians is the inheritance of angels. Even the war of faith has to be put on hold." Igula tapped the table with his index finger. "Who would have thought that a war could be forcibly stopped for such a reason?"
Senluo Wasteland is undoubtedly the place most affected by the angel heritage - in other countries, it would at most cause social discussion, but in Senluo it can suppress social unrest!
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. No matter what country you are from, what your beliefs are, or what your race is, as long as you can log in to the virtual realm, you are qualified to challenge the angel inheritance.
Even if the Mercury Trojan Horse and the Qinri Alliance ignored the magicians' strong desire for the angel inheritance and asked them to continue fighting, wouldn't they be lazy and avoid fighting, conserving their energy during the day and waiting for the inheritance challenge at night?
Unless the magician can be prevented from entering the virtual world, no matter how tight the reality cage is, it will not be able to imprison the magician who has his mind set on something.
Ash asked, "Speaking of which, what progress have you made?"
Igula: "Just broke through the fifteenth level last night."
Harvey: "Still at level twelve."
"I only went in to play on the first day, and I didn't go there afterwards." Chikala scratched his head.
"Why not go?" Everyone was surprised: "This is the inheritance of angels."
"But I am not interested in the soul faction and the prophecy faction, nor do I have any talent." Qikala shrugged: "My colorful wings are also fully condensed. There is no benefit in the ghost inheritance. It is better to continue exploring the bubble."
"Perhaps the Void Realm is particularly caring for an honest kid like me. I encountered an affix bubble last night and obtained a super rare magic spirit!" said the Orc Sanctuary, who is good at robbery, murder and arson.
Igula was surprised and said, "Really? Are you so lucky? I envy you so much."
Chikala patted his chest proudly: "This is not luck, but the inevitable result of my years of hard practice!"
"Then during the day, you should give me that super rare magic spirit."
"Ah? Why? That's mine!"
"Have you forgotten that you are our slave now?" Igula said mercilessly.
“No—”
Ash watched the beast girl pestering the blonde glasses girl and begging her, thinking that his trip to Black Robe Town was not in vain, otherwise it would be really hard to see such a scene...
However, Ash and the others quietly raised their evaluation of Chikara to a higher level.
It is impossible for Chikara to become a Sanctuary Magician because of brain damage. He was able to realize that the angel inheritance would not help him, and he decisively gave up this once-in-a-millennium opportunity. His self-control and execution ability far exceeded those of other Sanctuary Magicians.
In fact, from the fact that he surrendered without hesitation in the dead city, it can be seen that he would not be affected by factors such as honor, greed, and luck. He always started from his own needs, executed when needed, and abandoned when not needed. He was never confused or hesitant.
It is difficult to judge the future of a man like Chikala. Perhaps he will soar to the sky because of his decisiveness, or he may sink to the bottom because of his short-sightedness. But one thing is certain -
He is very enviable.
Never doubt yourself, never regret a decision, never complain about yourself for everything, but blame others more...If you can live like Chikara, your life will be much happier.
"Compared to the blank concept, I am more concerned about the rewards of the Lord God's inheritance." Harvey held a French fry between his fingers, as if simulating smoking, "A kingdom of heaven... Does it mean that if a magician obtains the kingdom of heaven, he can become a Lord God?"
"If a two-winged magician has a sanctuary, will he become a sanctuary magician?" Ash asked back. "Although it may not be possible to make such an analogy, I think the virtual realm will not allow magicians to exploit such loopholes. However, if one can obtain the inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Lord of God, it will definitely be easier to break through the limits of mortals."
"However, the heavenly kingdom left behind by the Thousand Wish Illusion Lord after his death..." He pondered, "So the Lord God can also die...?"
Igula was shocked, and observed Ash carefully. After confirming that he had no ill intentions and made no other connections, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "Ash, do you want to eat anything else?"
“Let me take a look…”
Ash was looking at the menu and suddenly realized that the milk tea in front of Black Crow was not touched. He took a closer look and found that Black Crow had not even taken off his mask. He also thought about the topic of the virtual world that everyone had been discussing, which Black Crow did not understand at all, and his heart could not help but move slightly.
He put down the menu and said, "I'm tired of the food here. I'm going to go out and buy some other snacks. Tamashi, come and help me get the food."
Black Crow was startled, then stood up and followed him. Igula glanced at their backs, shook his head, and stepped on Chikala's face.
