Chapter 8 The Three Gods of Creation and the Source of Magic
Akanali said that the shopkeeper here can receive unknown hidden tasks, but——
"I didn't know if there was any way out, so I refused," she said.
Argo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "You made the right choice. Some large-scale missions will continue through several floors, and there will be forced battle plots. Even the originally protected towns have become battlefields, directly reducing HP
There may also be certain defeat scenarios where we are cut to red or cannot be forced to revive. Now foreign players generally have a bad opinion of us, so we do not rule out that there are people with malicious intentions who are here to cause harm. This is safer."
At this time, two maids who looked almost identical began to serve the food.
Argo looked around and asked, "Are there any other tenants here?"
"It's not so much that there are none, it's better to say that there are a group of uncles who have booked two three-person rooms. However, they practice leveling and explore so hard that they wake up early and stay up late. Maybe they also have time to spend the night outside." Kurea shrugged.
"After all, we are adults. There should be things we care about more in reality. Kureya and I happened to be together since childhood. My parents rarely go home, so you asked me to take care of Kureya." Akanali copied.
He started to say in a "humming" tone.
"That's it." Argo didn't intend to get to the bottom of the real topic.
Then they began to eat after the maid left.
"It's delicious. If you buy this quality food elsewhere, it would be at least 20% more expensive," Argo commented.
"That's right, that's right. So it's a waste that those uncles rarely eat here. Thanks to you, Argo, there are new dishes today. This happens every time there are new guests." Akanali immediately slapped the table.
Accept.
"Yeah, originally I thought I could make money by packaging and reselling the food here." Kurea whispered.
Argo: "Save it. Unless you click and purchase the food from the store's drop-down menu, the durability of the dishes and drinks served directly to the table will soon be reduced to zero once taken out of the house. This is
Common sense in sao, right?"
"Papa." The shop owner suddenly appeared at the end of the long table, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Are your guests satisfied with today's food?"
Argo: "Yeah."
Akanali: "It's delicious."
Kurea: "It would be nice if I could always be like this."
"Okay, then the charges will have to be increased -" the shop owner smiled and started counting with his fingers -
"No, no, no need. We are not nobles. It's fine to be like this at ordinary times!" Kurea said hurriedly.
"I know, what a pity." The shopkeeper put his hands away in front of him and bowed slightly, opened his eyes and said, "Just now, were you guys talking about the origin of magic together?"
"Huh? Do you know the shopkeeper?" Argo asked.
"I know. Aren't you all using magic all the time? Are you using technology that is convenient and unknown without knowing it? This is not a good thing." The shop owner said seriously.
Ignoring the somewhat frightened Kureia and Akanali, she continued: "You are also the people who came to this world at that time (player login), the technology that collects items out of thin air, can communicate instantly and form teams, is
The lost magic [Phantom Book Art] and [Far Book Art]. But in this era, except for the fairy royal family, dragon family or other special bloodline, as well as some monsters, there are almost no people who can use magic."
Argo, who had already started to open the interface and code crazily, asked: "Can you explain this matter in more detail?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, this is not something that can be discussed casually like chatting in a tavern. If anyone has proof of friendship with the fairies or dragons, I can talk to them."
Argo also wrote down this paragraph in code. She remembered that there was a mission about the fairies during the closed beta period. It was an epic mission that lasted for several floors. Once it failed, no one could repeat it. She didn't know that the game had changed.
Whether it is still common in the future, but it can always be used as a reference. During the closed beta period, the only person who persisted in that task until the end... is that person. Bring him next time to see if the task can be triggered.
Just at this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and several men wearing uniform-style armor walked in.
The leader, a shield swordsman man with gray hair tied in pigtails, asked: "Can you tell me about the incident just now?"
"Did you happen to hear me? But if you want to go deeper, you are not qualified." The shop owner shook his head seriously.
The man glanced at Argo, who was appearing here for the first time, and after greeting her politely with his teammates, he prepared to go upstairs to his room.
"The stove is not out yet. If you want to eat, I can still cook it. If the three guests here want to add food, it's no problem." The owner changed back to his smiling and friendly look.
"Really? Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful."
"That's right, I've been busy upgrading recently, so I miss the taste of the food here."
"Although it's important to think of ways to conquer it, you also need to rest and adjust."
"………………"
The youngest men, all of whom looked to be over twenty years old, took their seats one after another, making the three who were much younger somewhat uncomfortable.
When the shop owner turned to go to the kitchen, he turned back and put his index finger in front of his mouth and said: "That's right, that's right, if you can help me attract some people who really love the world, pay attention to life and not forget to be enterprising, become my long-term customers.
, it’s okay to show you who are curious some of the magic that was once very popular after the creation of the Three Gods.”
A corresponding prompt window appeared in front of all players present. There was no "yes/no" option, but there was no completion mark, indicating that the task had no conditions or restrictions.
"Excuse me, what are the three gods? Is it related to magic?" someone asked.
"Allah, how dare you live in this world if you don't even know about this kind of thing? You will be punished by the church if you find out about it. There are also books about this on the bookshelf over there. You can read those books at will.
"The shopkeeper pointed to the bookshelf nearby and left.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to who the three gods are. I feel that the person who wrote the settings was very careless." After Argo confirmed that the other party was not there, he said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "That is the God Stacia (system).
Sprite and Cardinal are the God of systems, the God of scripts, and the God of balance. Since they are all game-related names, they may be related to writing magic, but as settings
That’s good, NPCs all believe in these three gods.”
"I don't believe in Cardinal." A somewhat displeased voice came from the direction of the kitchen.
Argo: "Oh, I'm sorry. To correct you, there are actually religious conflicts in this world. I don't know if there will be related tasks in the future, which may also lead to fights between players. Please be careful."
