◎【You picked up a diary】◎
A strong wind blew, and a heat wave was overwhelming. Van Arnold's afterimage was forced to squint his eyes and saw that the air around the huge creature had become extremely distorted due to the high temperature.
But even so, the human walked out from behind the creature unscathed, a faint smile on his face, as if deliberately mocking him! Mocking his arrogance, mocking his ignorance.
"Human, you...!" Van Arnold's afterimage looked at her fiercely. He really couldn't understand how this weak human could survive his attack. That was his most powerful skill besides summoning - explosive light bomb.
No one could walk out of a light bomb alive. No, not even humans, not even the thick-skinned demons could withstand it! So who was she...
The anger in his eyes gradually rose, and the next second, Van Arnold's afterimage completely exploded. He roared unwillingly, and countless balls of light shot out from his hands, heading straight for Xia Li.
Xia Li gave instructions to the Lava Beast, which used the skills [Infernal Fire] and [Falling Rock] on the Afterimage Boss, causing a total of more than 10,000 points of damage.
Excellent! 11,000 plus the 8,500 damage she can deal to the boss adds up to nearly 20,000. This means that if she and Xiaoguai team up, they can each deal 20,000 damage to the opponent.
Van Arnold's afterimage has a total health of 930,000. After deducting the 100,000 damage she previously dealt, there is still 830,000 left. 83 divided by 2, rounded up to approximately 42.
So she and Xiaoguai only need to fight for 42 more rounds, and this wild boss will be killed by her!
Once a person has hope, they become energized in everything they do, as if boundless power were being unleashed within them. Xia Li was no exception. After silently counting to 42, the image of Van Arnold finally gave way, screaming to the heavens before unwillingly dissolving into smoke, vanishing from the center of the lumberyard.
Congratulations on successfully soloing the regional boss, Van Arnold's Afterimage, and earning the title "Darkness Dispeller."
[Title "Darkness Dispeller": Intelligence +2]
Another title! And just like the previous one, "Thirsty of Knowledge," obtained from the Scarlet Monastery, it also increases Intelligence by 2 points. Intelligence is linked to spell attack. As an alchemist who specializes in spells, Xia Li is naturally particularly satisfied.
So I wore it on my head and continued to choose not to show it to the outside world.
Up to now, she has won no less than 20 titles, such as [Brave], [Dragon Slayer], [Ruler], [Blessing of Hera, the Goddess of the Sea], and so on.
Each title has its own attributes. If she calculates carefully, if she combines the bonuses of the titles together, she might be able to put together the attributes of a precious blue outfit!
Besides the title, she also received 550 gold and 30% experience points from the monster fight. Her level was about to reach 27, and her account balance was 2750.
She was one step closer to buying land for her home in the East or South District. Thinking of this, Xia Li couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Prepare to pick up the things dropped by the boss!
However, even though she defeated the regional boss alone, the items he dropped were not very good. After picking and choosing, she only selected 4 pieces of equipment for other professions that could be sold at a high price, as well as an engineering atlas.
[Engineering Atlas: Learning it can enhance your understanding of the engineering field. Requirements: Character level 20 or above, Sewing level 5 or above, Mining level 5 or above, Forging level 10 or above]
My goodness, except for her character level meeting the requirements of the map, none of the remaining three life skills meet the standards.
But on second thought, she didn't meet the requirements. There were always players who specialized in the engineer profession and met the requirements. Especially for guilds that wanted to seek higher development, engineers were definitely the ones that big guilds were fighting over.
For example, the reinforcement of the guild walls, wall armor, ladders, mines, large catapults, etc., these can only be built by players who follow the engineering route, while people like her and Baili Xi who focus on combat professions can't even touch the edge of manufacturing.
Considering the future development of Fengyun Tianxia, Xia Li decided to keep this atlas first. After the guild recruits a suitable candidate, she will give this atlas to the other party.
You found a diary
Suddenly, after stepping on something, the system popped up a reminder.
Xia Li picked it up and used identification technique.
Van Arnold's Diary
Here it comes, her side quest finally has some clues!
Xia Li was about to open it, but suddenly, the diary automatically slipped out of her hands and floated in the air. Lines of text emitting a dim golden light appeared, as if she really saw the skeleton wizard sitting in front of the diary and concentrating on recording a hundred years ago.
"The humans on the continent united. They gathered around a great woman and established a royal city in the center of the continent. The humans called this year the First Year of Shia."
"In the 40th year of Shia, the great Queen Shia passed away peacefully in her sleep. Without her, there would be no peace on the continent for these 40 years. On behalf of the Skeleton Tribe, I offer her my highest blessings."
"In the 45th year of Shia, a giant dragon suddenly awakened from the crater. The second queen of the human race came to me and hoped that I could use magic to seal the dragon. I agreed to her request."
"The dragon is too powerful. I am no match for it."
"After three days and three nights, I finally sealed the dragon. The price was that the queen sacrificed 100 of her brave warriors."
"I finally understand why the magic ring was so unstable before. It turns out that only by sacrificing human blood can the magic ring unleash its maximum power."
"The only way is to sacrifice human blood." Xia Li stopped her gaze at this line and recited it softly.
So that's how it is. Human blood is the only way to upgrade the magic ring.
No wonder Bruce's expression changed drastically after seeing her ring, and he shouted that she was not allowed to use it in the future. The demon hunter did the same. Although he did not know the inside story about the magic ring, from the question he asked, "If you knew this secret, would you give up the magic ring?" it is not difficult to see that the magic ring is definitely a dangerous thing that cannot easily fall into the hands of others.
No one can resist the attraction of power, especially when this power is strong enough to support oneself to stand at the peak of the king. Xia Li believes that at that time, whether it is NPC or player, they will definitely grab this ring at all costs.
Isn't Valichiro an example of this fifty years ago? Perhaps for the sake of power and status, Valichiro deceived Bruce and got the ring.
Unfortunately, he only had the ability to steal, but not the ability to keep the ring. Fearing that someone else would steal it again, he simply hid himself in a dungeon and lived a life without daylight.
It was not until the player intervened and won the first kill in the dungeon that the system transferred the magic ring to her hands.
Thinking of this, Xia Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't expect that the magic ring that was sought after by the world had to suck human blood to maintain its magic power. If this was the case, she would rather the magic ring be buried forever in the goblin mine cave under the banyan tree.
[Support: Investigate the Skeleton Ring——Completed]
Finally, the side quest that had been hanging in the task bar for a long time was finally completed. The system rewarded her with a few hundred experience points and a few gold coins. The rewards for side quests were never much, so Xia Li didn't care too much about it, so she gladly accepted it.
However, although the mission was completed, the diary floating in the low sky did not close, but continued to flip through the pages.
Page 2.
"In the 60th year of Shia, the third Shia Queen ascended the throne. To expand the human race's territory, she led the human army to attack other villages, killing countless lives. Goblins, elves, and even our Skeleton Tribe were all driven away by her."
"In the 80th year of Shia, the fourth Shia Queen ascended the throne. Like the third, she was also a war advocate."
"In the 100th year of Shia, the fifth Queen of Shia ascended the throne. The continent, which had finally calmed down, was once again provoked into war due to a dispute with the demons."
"In the 110th year of Xia, I found a child by the stream. He was so pitiful. I don't know who his parents are. Perhaps this is the trauma brought by the war. Since God allowed me to meet him, I will definitely raise him well."
This child is the Demon Hunter. Xia Li had read the letter that the Skeleton Mage wrote to Bruce and knew a little about the background, so she did not stop and continued reading. The diary also turned to the third page.
"In the 120th year of Shia, I heard that the Queen had begun to purge the alien races. I wrote a letter to my old friend Bruce, reminding him to protect his true identity in the royal city."
"In the 121st year of Shia, I had a feeling that my end was near, so I prepared to leave for the royal city and hand the ring to Bruce. He is now my only trustworthy friend, and I hope he can keep it safe for me. I just don't know what to do with poor Collins. He is only 11 years old. The world is so chaotic now, how can I bear to leave him like this..."
At this point, the diary stopped turning pages, and the wind in my ears seemed to stop abruptly.
There is no subsequent content, which means that the Skeleton Mage died in 121 Shia.
The skeleton wizard who helped humans seal the dragon and once enjoyed a high reputation among humans disappeared from the continent forever.
Suddenly, she felt her throat dry and her chest inexplicably stuffy. Xia Li raised her hand and prepared to take back the diary.
suddenly.
[You have triggered the mission left by Van Arnold to future generations. Do you accept it?]
There are hidden tasks?
Xia Li couldn't help but be startled. Just as she was about to click to accept, another message popped up.
[Note: Accepting this mission may involve the risk of your faction switching sides, so please choose with caution.]
Xia Li sat on the back of the lava beast Xiaoguai and rushed to the royal city without stopping. On the way, she checked the column of Xiaoguai's lifespan. The initial value that was originally set to 8 was now changed to 7.
Yes, in order to avoid being blown to pieces by the phantom boss's big light ball, she suddenly decided to pull Xiaoguai out of the system to block the fatal blow for her.
Of course, as the price of her survival, Xiaoguai's life span was deducted by 1 and his loyalty was deducted by 20.
There are still three months before the battle pet life potion is released, and she has to take good care of Xiaoguai's remaining seven lives.
The scenery on both sides fell back, and two hours later, she arrived at the coordinates agreed upon by Baofeng and her - Alanka Peaks.
