Chapter 24
Ye Bai walked down the stairs and stepped into the 'door' made of shadows.
Just as the system prompted, after going down the stairs, Ye Bai saw a basement in front of him.
After she entered, a magical glow automatically lit up above her head, illuminating the entire basement.
There were no complicated furnishings here, only a large desk and a chair. The floor and the desk were littered with messy and incomprehensible manuscripts. Ye Bai's eyes fell on a box on the desk that looked unusual.
Ye Bai walked to the desk and his eyes fell on the papers under the box.
"The source of magic is blood, and knowledge flows in our bodies." -Leto
Without the prerequisite tasks, this sentence will seem incoherent.
But if you discover this place through normal procedures, you will know that the owner here, Leto, was a very famous magician many years ago. He was famous not because he proposed any well-known theories. On the contrary, his research was the object of ridicule and criticism by the mainstream at that time.
In the mainstream argument of the Universal Magic Theory, magic is composed of elements with different properties and effects guided by psychic energy. On this basis, the "element theory" that runs through the entire history of magic development was born. Even magic technology is now called elemental magic.
Element theory has gone through three stages: the explosive era, the classic era, and the streamlined era.
The Era of Explosion was the earliest period of magic's emergence. Magicians were constantly discovering new magics. They believed that there were countless elements in the world, waiting for magicians to discover them one by one.
Then came the second period, the Classic Age, when magic reached its peak. Magicians dialectically concluded that there were not so many types of elements, and what worked was the combination of fixed and concentrated basic elements, thus establishing the classic model of the ten basic elements.
The ten classic element models were once the foundation of magic theory and the consensus of the magic world. Many great magicians supported them, and those who questioned them would be collectively despised and ridiculed.
Until the third stage of streamlining, with the development of theoretical research, the theory of the ten basic element models has been increasingly questioned, and the number has been gradually reduced to eight, and then to the current six. Today's magicians are becoming more and more tolerant and bold in their conjectures about element theory.
Leto was a figure from the Second Classical Era. His theory was not to reduce the ten basic elements. He believed that there were no different types of magical elements at all. It was that other factors affected the properties of the elements, and they were essentially the same.
Such a theory is too advanced not only in the era of classical models, but also in this streamlined era. He can be said to be the originator of the "observer effect" in the magical world.
The most interesting thing is that the reason why Leto discovered this advanced theory came from an outrageous coincidence.
The origin of this plot is that a strong man from the Chaos School came to the Magic School as a spy, used the power of his bloodline to disguise himself as a great magician, and accepted a magic apprentice to train him to be a traitor in the future. After misleading the apprentice, he left, but by accident, the magic apprentice's thinking changed and he discovered an advanced magic theory.
'Leto' will be a different character in different servers, but the cause and effect of the matter are the same. However, all hidden professional tasks are unique. Once they are triggered in a certain server, even if the corresponding task character is found in other servers, they cannot be triggered again.
Since it is called a hidden profession, of course it has to be a bit impressive.
Ye Bai's evil taste doesn't stop there——
There are two ways to advance this class. One is the orthodox path. After changing classes, go to the Chaos City to find Leto's former "mentor" and advance to the class. The other is the hidden path. Go to the Alchemy City, there to trigger another historical clue "Transcendent Disintegration" and obtain the "hidden advancement" of the hidden class. The source of this quest is the traitor that the School of Magic brought to the Alchemy City...
The entire task chain can also be called the "reform caused by traitors."
In fact, the hidden professions in this series are very special. You can start your job transfer from any main city, but Ye Bai went to the magic main city first, and Leto's profession has the highest increase in psychic energy among the three.
Ye Bai has always suspected that the psychic bar is related to the real mental power, so he plans to verify it this time. If he guessed correctly, in her current situation, the longer the psychic bar, the better, which means the higher the mental power, and the larger the range that can be explored outside the nutrient capsule.
Ye Bai picked up the box on the note and opened it. Inside was a teardrop-shaped gem. It looked like there was real water inside, and a strange light was flowing.
This is the result of Leto's life's research.
[You obtain the special item 'Almighty Magic Bloodline']
[You obtain the historical clue 'The Misunderstood Genius', you gain 10 historical experience points, and you gain 10,000 experience points.]
[You obtain the historical clue 'Buried Research Results', you gain 10 historical experience points, and you gain 10,000 experience points.]
If Ye Bai did not have the historian's secondary profession and did not accept the prerequisite tasks, he would only be able to obtain items but not experience rewards.
Now, by discovering that Leto was a misunderstood genius, a new historical discovery, his "career inspiration" was triggered all at once. The experience gained was much higher than what he had gained by completing the task so far, directly filling Ye Bai's experience pool to a level sufficient to reach level 20.
Ye Bai immediately picked up the sharp end of the gem and pricked his finger with it without frowning.
There's no way, that 1% pain is just so fearless.
The damage of '-1' floated out along with the blood flowing from the character's fingers, and the blood fell on the gem.
A flash of light passed by, and the gem turned into light, flowing into Ye Bai's body along the wound on his fingertips - yes, it was the time-honored trick of identifying the owner by dripping blood.
At the same time, it seemed as if someone was whispering in Ye Bai's ear, telling him all kinds of strange and bizarre magical knowledge, until the system prompt appeared and interrupted him.
['Whisperer' job change trial begins]
The dancing light from before appeared again in Ye Bai's vision, guiding her to a certain place...
Night gradually falls. Unlike NPCs who never work overtime, night is the time when players are active. After all, as long as they eat food to replenish their physical strength, they will not feel tired and can use this time to do more things.
In particular, there are many monsters that will not appear during the day and will only come out at night.
For example, there is a monster called the 'Elemental Moth' that regularly appears in the wetlands outside of Melo City.
Elemental moths glow faintly at night and are generally between levels 12 and 15, which is just a bit higher than the current level of mainstream players. Their attacks are not difficult to dodge and they have less health. In the eyes of some powerful players, they are suitable leveling objects.
When night fell, Zhuo Ya came to the wetland forest, took the green excellent iron sword obtained from the mission, and started today's leveling.
“Swish!”
'-170'
Zhu Ya used his realistic combat skills, twisted his body to avoid the dust attack sprayed by the elemental moth, and accurately slashed it with a sword, instantly inflicting a [weakness damage] effect second only to a critical hit.
Seeing this, an elemental moth not far away immediately flew over here, flapping its wings and spraying his signature dust attack at him.
Zhu Ya already had experience in dealing with groups of hostile creatures, so he once again used his physical skills to launch a series of swift and swift attacks like in a martial arts drama, dodging skills while attacking the moth in front of him with all his strength.
Soon, the two elemental moths with health points of 450 and 500 lost their light under Zhu Ya's sword and fell to the ground, turning into light and disappearing.
Obtain [Fire Element Dust] x2
Obtain [Universal Element Dust] x1
"Huh?" Zhu Ya was stunned after seeing the dropped items. Elemental moths will randomly drop various elemental dusts, which are a kind of magical material. After collecting a set, they can be sold to some NPCs in Melo City. It's been a while since he fought this kind of monster. This is the first time he encountered [Universal Elemental Dust]. Is there any difference between it and other elemental dusts?
'I'll ask the NPC later...' Zhu Ya thought to himself. This was how his letter delivery mission was triggered.
After collecting the dropped items, a small team was already fighting the nearest elemental moth. Zhuoya went in another direction to continue looking for the light of the elemental moth.
There are also some players forming teams here to farm elemental moths. Zhuya is at the master level in terms of both level and combat power, so he fights alone.
But whether you are in a team or alone, everyone has a tacit understanding in how to kill monsters in this wetland, and they don't interfere with each other.
Until a figure who kept looking around and looked a little sneaky was here.
The figure passed the others, avoided the elemental moths, and walked towards the hidden place in the wetland.
This performance attracted the attention of the players, but they were busy fighting monsters and did not follow. They just paid more attention. Not long after, a roar suddenly came from the direction where the figure disappeared!
All the players' expressions changed, they realized something, and rushed towards the direction where the figure left.
After passing through a bush, I saw a tall ghost standing on a wetland. The outline of the other party's eyes was glowing, and he was wearing a wizard's robe. With a wave of his hand, he sprinkled an arc of freezing magic on the wetland, which condensed into frost spikes on the wetland.
The target of the attack was the sneaky player from before. She rolled awkwardly and narrowly avoided the freezing magic.
At this time, all the players also saw the name and health bar of this monster.
Leto's Ghost
The shape of the health bar, the thickness of the health bar... needless to say, you know it's only for the BOSS. It actually allowed them to discover the wild BOSS!
No, it was obviously the sneaky player who discovered it at first and wanted to kill it quietly by himself, but he didn't expect the noise to be too loud, and now everyone has discovered it.
Very good, once you find it, it’s everyone’s!
In Wanjie, players have worked together to defeat wild BOSSes. Not only are the drops amazing, but the experience gained in the end is calculated based on the output ratio. Even if you don’t get the BOSS rewards in the end, it’s good to be able to share the experience.
"What a stroke of luck!" was the thought of all the players who witnessed this scene.
There is nothing much to say. A group of players rushed forward, showing off their skills, and used their real-life combat skills against Leto's vengeful spirit without reservation.
The sneaky player who was discovered first rolled again and escaped from the battle circle in the opposite direction, just passing by Zhu Ya who was rushing forward.
Zhu Ya was feeling that the other person's figure looked somewhat familiar—
While I was distracted, I also saw the expression on the player's face.
She is... laughing? Why is she laughing?
When a normal player changes his job to an ordinary profession, he will receive an assessment from the job change mentor and enter a trial copy scene. If he successfully challenges the mentor, he can change his job.
If you are defeated in the trial copy, you will not die, but will enter a near-death state with only 1 health point left. You can try infinitely, but you need to buy medicine to restore your health after each failure.
Hidden professions are different. Professional trials also require defeating the "professional mentor", but unlike ordinary professions, there are no gentle trial copies. Instead, it is like a one-time task with only one chance. If you fail, you can't challenge it again.
So how could Ye Bai not smile? How could she not smile when so many people were rushing to help her pass the job transfer trial?
