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 everyone 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 they 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.
但湖光天使和光阴之王的描述，简直颠覆了现代术师的世界观——过去的时间大陆，确实存在一个国度！
那个时候时间大陆还不叫时间大陆，而是‘概念大陆’，概念大陆的原生子民，自称‘概念之精’、‘法则之灵’，术师将他们称为——精灵！
它们是天生的术师，能调理流金河，统驭虚境生物，开发大陆资源，而且寿命漫长，哪怕人数稀少，也发展出伟大的术师文明！
时间大陆那些仍在运作的资源点，就是那个时代的产物！
很显然，远古时代的精灵和当今精灵已经是不同品种，为了区分开来，术师们将它们称为古精灵。
在湖光天使的时代，术师们与古精灵已经屡有摩擦，甚至爆发过‘天空动乱’，即古精灵术师骑着飞龙种，到处狩猎异族术师，人类等术师都怨声载道，矛盾剧烈。
那时候术师还是被古精灵压着打，毕竟异族术师在时间大陆都是二翼，而古精灵因为本体就在时间大陆的原因，哪怕实力提升到圣域传奇，也能继续在时间大陆停留！
可想而知，‘天空动乱’里的异族术师多么难受，他们不仅面对成群结队的古精灵术师，还要面对远超自身的圣域传奇！堪称小孩子被成年人暴打！
湖光天使就特意记载了，她被古精灵圣域猎杀过！
看了《湖光手册》再看《光阴手册》，就会感觉颇为喜感。
因为光阴之王，就是古精灵！
但在光阴之王的时代，古精灵国度已经大幅衰退，外部城池几乎全部失落，他们只能固守‘不落余晖’永恒之城。
在《光阴手册》里，他明确指出古精灵衰落的原因——血月、繁星等神主用卑鄙手段杀光了高位古精灵，持续打压古精灵国度！
对于七彩尾的描述，湖光天使和光阴之王倒是几乎一致，都是找到七种颜色后就能抓住七彩尾，显然在他们的年代，这七种颜色仍然是可以找到的。
到了幽魂先知，就只剩下三种颜色。
现代更是只剩下流金河一种。
关于遥彼空域和失色梦，在湖光天使的时代，梦中国度是可以随便进去的，风花雪月四种素材都能找到；
到了光阴之王的时代，‘风之伤’这个素材已经不见了，但可以通过奇迹平替；
幽魂先知的时代，缺失素材不仅不能平替，而且连梦中国度也被噩梦天使占据。
现代，不仅没有四种素材，甚至连梦中国度都破碎了。
综合来看，虽然三位天使都是走起源之路到达红宝石山，但湖光天使一路上目的明确，虽然挑战繁多但从不迷茫；光阴之王则艰难许多，许多环节都要自己补全；而幽魂先知那时候，起源之路理论上已经断绝，若非他是‘二周目术师’，恐怕无法走上起源之路。
对比这三本天使手册的内容，时代的变迁感简直是从纸张里扑面而来。
然而在永恒之城、湖光传承、幽魂传承这三个传承里，价值最大的居然不是遥彼空域的幽魂传承，也不是最为古老的湖光传承。
而是永恒之城的传承！
因为湖光和幽魂充其量也只是一位天使的传承，但永恒之城，却是一整个文明的遗产！
永恒之城有无数普通传承，只要术师能拿到其中一个，就能获得一个时间大陆的资源点的权限，为期一年。只要术师在虚境，随时都能接收里面生产的资源！
对于二翼术师来说，这已经是一笔不小的财富，更别提普通传承里还有奖励。而最令人向往的是，如果能成为光阴之王的继承者，就等于成为永恒之城的主人！
那可是古精灵的文明遗产，虚境承认的永恒之城！
这里面的价值简直无法想象——哪怕是最疯狂贪婪的术师，也没想过能在虚境划地为王！
亚修听剑姬说，繁星那边的二翼术师几乎疯了一样在学习研究，繁星王室也特意为光阴之王传承给出了现实奖励：公爵席位！
毕竟你继承湖光传承或者幽魂传承，也只是你一个人收益，但你如果能成为永恒之城城主，就能在虚境庇护其他二翼术师，提升整个国度的底蕴！
不过相比起夺取传承，更多术师其实是感慨起源之路的失落，纷纷感叹如果能回到远古时期，就能轻松到达红宝石山云云。
像奇卡拉就嚷嚷好几天，痛诉前人术师破坏环境不够环保，连点残羹剩饭都不给后人留下，弄得大家都只能努力内卷奋斗……
唯有亚修隐隐知道，走起源之路的风险，恐怕远超境界正常晋升。
因为秘毒！
走上起源之路，就意味着一路上会感染多种秘毒！
像湖光天使的时代，哪怕银鳞考验和七色搜集通过率只有万分之一，那日积月累的通过人数恐怕都有几百，秘毒毫无疑问会转变成猛毒！
亚修一开始还以为过去没有秘毒，但他仔细一看，关于黄金鱼、七彩尾、失色梦的本质，三本手册都没写出来，显然天使们都下意识留了一手，只写了具体过程，结果却含糊带过。
这些天使显然不是傻叉，那傻叉只能是亚修自己。秘毒肯定还有他仍不了解的效果，所以天使们才会前赴后继走起源之路。
也正因为他们没有写结果，所以亚修到现在都猜不出失色梦的真相。
普通术师基本都认为‘黄金鱼’、‘七彩尾’是特指某种事物，唯有亚修这种走过起源之路的人才知道，黄金鱼和七彩尾都是一种修辞手法。黄金鱼指天空金色海洋泛起的鱼鳞波澜，七彩尾则是流金河汇聚六种颜色形成的景观。
那失色梦应该也是一种比喻，它在比喻什么？
“果然没有关于空白概念的情报……”伊古拉喃喃道。
“有就怪了，到现在也只有千愿幻主提过一次空白概念，那可是在红宝石山的神主传承。”亚修一副理所当然的表情：“森罗就三位传奇术师，如果这里有空白概念的情报，那就代表三位传奇脱离前线，特意来这间冰室吃招牌拉拉肥——怎么可能嘛！”
“是谁提议我们来这里搜集概念情报的？”伊古拉咬牙切齿，都想抬起手爆敲亚修脑袋，但看到亚修这个红发少女的可爱皮肤，还是悻悻放下手。
“四柱神教已经停止进攻，主动收缩防线。”格温放下手里的资料，那是她今晚从各个渠道收集的消息：“前线处于对峙状态。”
“正常，现在所有术师的首要目标都是天使传承，哪怕是信仰战争也得往后挪挪。”伊古拉食指轻敲桌子：“谁能想到一场战争居然能被这种原因强行停止？”
森罗废土，毫无疑问是被天使传承影响最大的地方——在其他国度最多就是引起社会热议，在森罗却能压制社会动**！
但仔细想想却又不奇怪，无论你是什么国度、什么信仰、什么种族，只要伱能登录虚境，就有资格挑战天使传承。
哪怕水银木马和琴日联盟无视术师们对天使传承的强烈意愿，要求他们继续战斗，但他们难道就不会摸鱼偷懒，回避战斗，白天养精蓄锐等待夜晚的传承挑战吗？
除非能阻止术师登录虚境，否则再严密的现实牢笼，都无法囚禁心有所往的术师。
亚修问道：“说起来，你们打到什么进度了？”
伊古拉：“昨晚刚破第十五关。”
哈维：“还在十二关。”
“我只有第一天进去玩了玩，后面都没去了。”奇卡拉挠了挠头。
“为什么不去？”大家都很惊讶：“这可是天使传承。”
“但我对灵魂派系和预言派系既不感兴趣，也没什么天赋。”奇卡拉耸耸肩：“我的七彩之翼也完全凝聚，在幽魂传承里没什么收益，还不如继续探索泡影。”
“或许是虚境特别关照我这种老实孩子，我昨晚遇到了一个词缀泡沫，得到一个超稀有术灵呢！”擅长打家劫舍杀人放火的兽人圣域如此说道。
伊古拉惊讶道：“真的啊？运气这么好吗？我好羡慕你哦。”
奇卡拉自豪地拍了拍胸脯：“这可不是运气，而是我多年勤奋修炼的必然结果！”
“那到了白天，你将那个超稀有术灵给我吧。”
“啊？凭什么！那可是我的东西啊！”
“你是不是忘了，你现在是我们的奴隶。”伊古拉无慈悲地说道。
“不要啊——”
亚修看着兽娘缠着金发眼镜娘撒娇哀求，心想黑袍镇没白来，不然真的很难看到这种画面……
不过，亚修等人对奇卡拉的评价默默提高了一个级别。
奇卡拉能成为圣域术师，断然不可能是脑瘫，他能意识到天使传承对自己没有帮助，并且果断舍弃这种千年难得一遇的机会，这种节制力和执行力，远超其他圣域术师。
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.
