Chapter 7 The Weaver of Life
In Edgar, nothing is possible.
Link remembered what Su Wu said again.
Well, even if it is a god in this illusory world and has self-awareness, why should you talk to me alone?
[I came at your call, the young winner.] Isol could sense what Link thought.
So...what is your purpose now?
It can be telepathic, and Link doesn't waste his talk and talks directly with it in his mind.
[Life blooming can heal multiple injuries at the same time. With your current ability, you cannot master it. If you want to use it above level, you must pay the corresponding price. Are you willing to exchange all your blessings for their lives?]
Link was questioned.
All blessings refer to giving up the qualification of the Son of Nature? Is it worth it to exchange a profession for the lives of several NPCs? No! Since this is a illusion based on the game as a template, you have to make a decision according to the game routine. Take a gamble and try it. If you really lose the qualification of the Son of Nature, I will change my profession. Isn’t there any options for priests and knights?
"Save them."
As soon as the words were finished, the Book of Inheritance emerged from Link's body. As the four skills disappeared, the white deer's body scattered into white spots of light, floating onto the injured druids in various tree houses. The damaged muscles and bones were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those who were seriously injured escaped from death, and those who were slightly injured were directly healed. If it weren't for the faint scars left on the skin, it would be hard to believe that they had been injured.
After the treatment is over, the time to be frozen will also recover.
Hull, who returned from the northern border, sensed the divine power bursting out from the direction of guarding the ancient tree. Life blooming is an advanced divine art that only the messenger of Isol can perform. Who is it? Iris has lost his gift. Could it be that boy? No, it is impossible for a merely selected person to do it.
"Life blooms..." Eris excitedly grabbed Link's shoulder, "Isol admits you!"
Compared to his excitement, Link breathed a sigh of relief. The inheritance is still there, and the qualification of the Son of Nature has not been deprived of it, but... the four skills are really gone. He put away the skill book in depression, but was frightened by the words of Eris.
"You are not an Edgar, you are suspicious when I saw you the first time I saw you. Although your skin color is very similar, you are not a real Alkin. Don't want to lie to me. Before becoming a guardian, I have traveled all over the mainland. One of them claims to be a human being from another world."
Link was speechless. Don’t those idiots know how dangerous it is to call themselves aliens in such a real-life illusion?
"No wonder I can't find it through the barrier without knowing it. I have been unable to understand why Isol chose humans again. If it is a life weaver, it would be a different matter." Hull's voice suddenly rang.
Link didn't know when he came, and didn't know how much he heard, and his eyes were gone without the contempt and defense he had in his past. Link also noticed that Birdman used a new word that he had never heard before - the Life Weaver.
Isn't it a game to wear? Why did it become a plane again?
"The Destiny Weaver is the abbreviation of the Destiny Weaver, specifically referring to God-selected people who are not from Edgar's origin. They are named because they can change their destiny." Eris seems to have identified Link's identity.
OK, let's understand that the player is not from this world, so he is considered a person from another world... Knowing that such an idea is purely self-deception, Link doesn't want to delve into it. The agreed time is ten days of game time, and only two days have passed. Even if he returns to reality, he will not be able to forcibly awaken Su Wu. The only thing he can do now is to wait for another eight days and know the truth when he sees Su Wu.
"What happened just now? Even the life weaver from another world can't use the ability of the selected person to use the bloom of life that can only be cast by the apostles." Although Hull's attitude changed, his tone was still tough. He didn't know Link's inner entanglement and kept asking why Link could cast magic skills above the level.
How should I answer this? To be honest, Link is afraid that the two firm believers would say that they were disrespectful to God, but if they made up randomly, they might be misleading.
Seeing that Link didn't say anything, thinking that he was afraid of Hull, Eris quickly spoke to comfort him, saying that the lifeweaver is not Edgar, and Hull has no reason to take his anger again.
"I... well... I was very frustrated because I couldn't help, and wondered why I had only four magic positions. If I had more, I could save a few more people. Just as I was thinking about why Isol didn't save his followers, time suddenly stopped, and then a white deer appeared, saying that the power of the gods could only be conveyed through messengers in the material world."
Link stuttered and repeated what had just happened.
Hull's brows habitually frowned: "Unrespectful guy."
Eris kept shook his head and warned Link not to be so disrespectful in the future.
Ha~ I knew it would be like this. Link then said that Isol proposed to exchange all the blessings for the druid's life. He agreed, and then Isol turned into stars and covered the entire guardian ancient tree.
Hull obviously didn't expect Link to be willing to exchange for the blooming of life with the qualification of the Son of Nature. He exchanged a look with Eris, who smiled.
"This is the special ability of the Weaver, and you use advanced magic skills beyond the level. Congratulations, you have passed the first test, Link." This is the first time Eris called Link. "There are many tests like this in the future. You must withstand the pressure and temptation. You cannot fall like Frost and Cold. Only the world of the undead is destined to be destroyed."
Shuanghan, no matter the strange name, how dark this person should be in his heart before he can choose a lich as his profession?
The game's questionnaire survey is generally chosen according to personal preferences, and the professions obtained are mostly related to personality. Out of curiosity, Link asked Eris about Shuanghan's information.
Not only the elves, but even Hull, as the son of nature, knows little about Shuanghan, his age, gender, and even his origin. In just a few decades, a plate of undead with a loose sand was reorganized under its leadership. The undead who invented a new curse broke the northern defense line with a devastating offensive. Influenced by the battle situation in the north, even the undead appeared on the border of the pillar of the earth in the west.
For decades, according to the ratio of game time to reality... Link suddenly thought of a possibility - Su Wen! The more he thought about it, the more he felt the possibility, and he couldn't wait to share the news with Su Wu.
"Go and rest. Isol just used your step forward to bloom your life. I will continue to train tomorrow." Irell didn't say that it was okay. When he said that Link began to feel that his body was exhausted, similar to the situation when he watched the inheritance overuse of his mental power.
"Don't be too happy too early." Looking at Link's back, Hull said with a gloomy expression: "If another undead lifeweaver comes out..."
"Since you're so scared, you might as well kill him before he grows up." If Link was present, he would never believe that this was said from Eris who had been taking care of him.
"You're crazy! He's a lifeweaver." Hull glared.
"Since you can't do it, wait for him to grow up quietly. Don't forget the responsibilities of the mentor, and give correct guidance instead of just intimidating and criticizing him." Eris confronted him with expressionless expression, and finally ended with Hull leaving without saying a word.
Of course, Link, who returned to the tree house, would not obey Eris' orders. In addition to basic training, what he wanted to know most now is the various settings of the game. Anyway, there is no need to sleep in the game, and he can spend the night time on "common sense knowledge".
Taking advantage of the inattention of Eris and Hull, when he left the library, he took out a manuscript marked "Continental Chronicles", which recorded the "common sense" that Link lacked the most.
[Edgar has three epochs in total. The land of the Golden Age is much larger than it is now. Humanoid creatures such as elves, dwarves, orcs, dwarves and humans live together. At that time, there was no obvious regional consciousness between the species. Until the gods launched a protracted war of the divine power in order to expand their divine nature, the wise creatures mainly humane were hostile to each other for the gods of their respective beliefs.
The consequences of the thousand-year-old battle of the divine power not only destroyed one-third of the land, but also caused the ascending ocean to submerge one-third of the land. In order to punish the second generation of gods who brought severe disasters to the upper realm, a generation of ancient gods who almost assimilated with the world united with the four-element lords to drive the second generation of gods out of the main plane. Countless gods fell, and the species following them also disappeared. Except for the elves, most humanoid creatures no longer have long-lived bodies. Diseases and deaths gave birth to a brand new species - the undead, and they also became the biggest enemies of the druids who believe in nature.]
After seeing this, Link remembered the main line of the game that Su Wu said - to strengthen the power of the gods that depend on. The final level is to summon the gods.
According to the usual routine, the expelled second-generation gods wanted to return to the material world and won over humans, made various promises and gave strength, so that believers could help them rebuild temples and expand their churches, and accumulate enough faith to come to the material world.
That's why this game is called "Return to Edgar"...
Huh? No, isn’t the natural gods believed in by expelling the second generation of gods from the material world? In this way, isn’t my position the opposite of others? Is it not that my main line of the game not to summon the gods, but to prevent the arrival?
It was not until the "Mainland Chronicle" in his hand was taken away that Link realized that Eris was standing beside him with an unhappy look on his face.
"Didn't you tell me to have a good rest? The knowledge you lack cannot be filled by reading one or two books. Now the priority is basic training."
It's dawn? Why does it take so fast every time I read a book...
Link was deeply depressed. His overloaded training yesterday caused a considerable psychological shadow.
The sun just rose and the devil coach came to him. It can be predicted that today will be another painful day.
Iris came to the treetop training ground with me. I thought I would learn the skills again, but when Link summoned the inheritance, I found that yesterday's skills of exchanging group therapy were back, and there were a lot of them!
After asking Eris, I realized that yesterday was the special talent of the Life Weaver - the use of advanced skills above the level, paying all the spell positions of the day as the price of using it.
Thinking of the waist-high scrolls piled up in the library, Link asked Iris to borrow paper and pen, and wanted to copy a copy of Isol and Gassus's talent to carry with you. The elf said that it was not necessary at all. The talent scroll was recorded in secret techniques, and as long as you read it, it would be burned in the inheritance through memory. Originally, he should have taken Link to the beginning, but unfortunately Hull refused to let him go, saying that he wanted to test the new candidates. If his qualifications were too poor, he would throw them outside the guardian land to fend for himself.
Link Saran. Birdman, how much do you hate humans? Fortunately, Su Wu taught the tricks of casting in advance, otherwise he would have been affected by the fish pond now.
When he learned that Link was a lifeweaver, Hull rekindled the soul of his mentor and said that he would train Link to become a guardian who could stand alone as soon as possible, and let him go to the southern border to drive away monsters that entered the surface through the rifts, and repair the damaged barriers.
Because it was the first official task to be named, Link was a little excited, maybe he could upgrade after completing it.
Following Eris, Link felt that his running speed had increased compared to yesterday, and even the interval of using spells to restore physical strength increased. He couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being a game mode, and it only took one day to see the results. This would take many days to train in reality to achieve such an effect.
The mountains to the south are steep, and the sharp rocks stand up like stalagmites, just like the Blade Mountain in World of Warcraft, making Link feel inexplicably nostalgic.
The so-called rift is a huge rift that divides the peaks. On the north side is the southernmost part of the guardian land. When crossing the rift, it is the orc territory - the Kaogo Wasteland.
Standing at the edge of the crack and looking down, I saw only a dark and thick smoke coming out from time to time. Link felt that it was more like a crater that would erupt at some time. From time to time, black smoke emerged from the ground, as hot as a sauna.
“Where is the lead here?”
"The abyss where evil creatures live."
The unicorn didn't like heat, and Eris sent it away before approaching the rift. Link followed him and went deeper into the cracked underground world little by little.
When you enter the crack, the temperature inside is not as high as that outside, and echoes come from deeper.
"Monster?"
Eris nodded without saying anything. He took off the longbow, raised his hand and an arrow, and a scream rang out in front of him. He chased after him and saw that there was only an orange-red creature on the ground, only to his knees, looking ugly, very similar to a goblin.
Is this a monster? It's too low-level.
Link didn't know what to say. Is it because he is a novice village, so the monsters he drew on the map are all such small monsters of the same level as Slime at first glance?
The sound of the sound disappeared, and the air suddenly became a little sticky. Link instinctively took a few steps back, something was wrong! This kind of uneasiness and anxiety... Could there be a very powerful enemy appearing?
boom!
A ball of flame exploded from the orange-skinned monster, blood splattered, a blurry outline turned from light to bright, it was a woman, to be precise, a female demon. As soon as her toes touched the ground, the rising flame instantly wrapped around her naked body, forming a red and black armor, long hair, bat wings and the flames that wrapped around her body. Her appearance caused the temperature in the entire area to rise suddenly, and even the hard rocks began to soften.
"Oh~ Isn't this the new Glow Elf King?" The demon's lips opened slightly, and his tempting voice was like a snake crawling in his skin, and he trembled gently, "At this time, you shouldn't have traveled far away with your tribe members, why are you still stranded in the guardian land?"
Eris stopped in front of Link, staring at the devil with his gem-like green eyes, his expression as severe as ever.
Chapter completed!
