Four days later, the carriage passed through the Mayfly Trail through a strange landscape area on the top of the ice - the Extreme Ice Temple. The weird rocks and ice there were carved by the cold wind to form some beautiful and eerie scenery, which appeared from afar.
Up close, the crystal vaults made of layers of ice and the beautiful ice crystal pillars look like a magnificent temple. Most people think that this is a natural wonder, but players who are familiar with the history of Canaan know that
, not only here, but even the entire ice peaks were forcibly uprooted from the ice fields by powerful arcanists in the early magic age, before the magic power was dispersed.
Since entering this area, there seem to be very few players. Occasionally, a group of stronger adventurers can be seen. They wear thick fur cloaks, and sophisticated weapons are exposed from the gaps between their robes. These people's movements are simple and effective.
The eyes under the hood looked at this strange carriage with vigilance and a little envy, but most of them probably thought of the people in this carriage as NPCs.
These players are all elites who have struggled on the line of life and death. They are veterans who have experienced big scenes. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem to get to level 13~14 safely. In Canaan, players must pass level 5~7.
The first threshold, starting from level 5, players will receive some F-level tasks one after another. Players will be asked by tasks to leave the town at this time, starting from sending letters and deliveries between cities, to forming a team.
Adventure further afield - Killing monsters around towns and adventuring for several days are completely different things. Low-level players cannot understand the dangers of camping in the wild. About 40% of players will lose all chances of resurrection at this stage. Of course, they
What you learn from your first failure is valuable experience.
Xiao Fen and others encountered this kind of embarrassment when they first left Burke Town. When they were in Crimson Canyon, if it hadn't been for the experience of half an apple, they might not have the shining gold coins they have now. And the frozen fruit
The same is true for the regiment. If they hadn't happened to meet Xiao Fen's help, they would have all died at the hands of the ferocious elk.
Of course, after crossing the first threshold, players gain enough experience to reach around level 14 without any accidents. This stage is the second threshold for Canaan. If you want to continue to level up after level 15,
Killing monsters and leveling up can no longer meet the needs of players. After all, Canaan is a world, not a zoo, and the number of high-level monsters is not as large as that of low-level monsters. It is obviously impossible to rely solely on killing monsters and leveling up.
At this time, players are forced to join organizations, conduct frequent regional missions, go deep into dangerous areas to investigate, or join in intricate noble struggles. These tasks are extremely difficult, because players have to face not only powerful forces but also
Attacks from monsters, as well as traps and tricks, and even daggers stabbed from behind by allies - true legendary players actually started from this time.
Only a few people can stand out from this level stage. They cross the advanced player stage, reach the peak of the basic level, and become heroes or villains throughout the party. Of course, more people start the next time with valuable experience.
reincarnation, at least, these experiences will make them live longer next time.
Finally, the era of legendary level has arrived...
In the carriage, the black-robed mage outlined countless lines of Canaan's future in his mind. The thin light from the wind lamp cast through the black velvet hood, casting a dark shadow like ink on his face. Sha An calmly stopped at his——
Well, head on, this little guy is a recognized unsafe factor in the team, and there are a lot of pranks about him...a lot!
Xiao Fen grabbed Sha's wings and pulled her onto his shoulders, then looked through the gap. At this time, there was another team of players passing by the carriage. This was the second team this morning, but Xiao Fen was not surprised.
Why are there so many players? It's because the Archmage Tower is almost in front.
He looked at these veterans with admiration, imagining in his heart that they were his team members. In fact, these players who took risks in a group were the backbone of Canaan. Although many of the players in the big union had rich game experience,
But here, those who have been trained with real swords and guns are the real strong ones.
"For example, the Bloody Slayer guys are not very good, at least it seems that way now." Xiao Fen thought in his mind that although the team rankings are true and reliable, in fact there are still many powerful adventure groups that are still in the low-level ranks.
position, otherwise the team rankings would probably change.
His lips curved into a mocking curve. A large guild like War Horn is obviously untenable in Canaan. Because of the strength of the NPC in the early stage, the numerical advantage will not be of much benefit here. On the contrary,
Because of the extremely severe death penalty, the number of people may even become a burden to the union.
For a union with a large number of people, in the later stage they will be depressed to find that only a few people can survive and grow to level 15 or above, becoming a truly useful force. And most of the rookies will take the union's investment in them.
Entering the Temple of Reincarnation - this was completely predictable.
"But those guys are used to the large guild human sea tactical mode in other games. I guess they are not used to it here!" The mage pursed his lips and chuckled, thinking of the Bloody Slayer again. The Bloody Slayer did a better job in this regard.
Well, its number was greatly reduced after the failure of that operation, and it still has no more than 5,000 people. But although the number is small, the ones left behind are all veterans above level 6. The future development prospects should be
not bad.
"There are no eternal enemies..." Xiao Fen touched his chin, planning to wait until the war in the south was over before trying his luck. After the war, most players should have learned a lesson. At that time, Canaan truly entered a mature stage.
.
As a player, Xiao Fen was originally interested in going to the south to experience the battlefield, but the offensive and defensive battle at the Fortress of the Gods sounded the alarm for him. No matter how powerful you are, in a place where thousands of people are fighting,
You seem too small. After that time, he never thought about joining the war.
The carriage turned a corner and the interior of the carriage shook. The Frog Prince immediately shouted noisily. He and Shuiyun had been playing an ancient domino game - Yun Na usually played this game with him. This guy was
He is quite good at this aspect. Almost every time he wins over the smart female mage, he can only smile helplessly.
"What are they betting on today?" Xiao Fen turned his head and asked Xue who was curled up in his arms.
"The prince promised that if he loses, he will take Shuixun's sister to visit the Archmage Tower. But if Shuixun loses..." Xue coughed lightly and suddenly blushed.
The mage looked interested. "Just like that?"
Xue buried her head into Xiao Fen's chest but did not answer. Yun Na showed a narrow smile: "Just give me a sweet kiss, hehehehe!" She laughed softly.
"Can you agree to this?" Xiao Fen shook his head helplessly and sighed: "These two guys..."
The time of the game always seemed short and hurried. As expected, the Frog Prince stunned Shui and quickly took a big lead. However, near noon, little sister Shui started to cheat. In a series of pitiful
After the "eyes" and "coquettish offensive", the score took a big turn...
Finally, amid the loud complaints of a certain goblin, the carriage passed the wooden door threshold of the outer wall of the Archmage's Tower - the Gate of Order in Aquin. Its interior is a place of order that makes even the paladin awe.
The mages of the Eye are probably the mages in this world who are closest to paladins and priests.
Entering the Gate of Order, you go around a cliff. The 270-foot-tall, 120-foot-diameter Great Mage Tower first catches everyone's sight. This majestic and spectacular building looks a bit simple, without too many modifications and carvings.
Beautifully shaped magic incantations are engraved in appropriate places.
Several obelisks emitting blue light float on the left and right of the Archmage's Tower and slowly rotate around the conical tower. These are the only lighting towers in the world that are still operating, and can be so luxurious.
This is probably the only place where magic power can be used.
The area below the Archmage's Tower is usually called the Garden. This is an area where the climate has been transformed by magic. It is like spring all year round - unlike the Suzan Highlands, this is a man-made miracle. Looking at it, it is simple and beautiful.
The buildings are neatly located next to the nurseries and flowers. Occasionally, a few butterflies fly by, and the mage in black and red robes walks slowly among them. It makes people mistakenly think that they have arrived at the city of mage beside the quiet lake, St. Paragons.
special.
Uncle Mullens parked the car in the storage area, and everyone got out of the car one by one. They noticed that in addition to the Eye of Order mages in robes, there were many priests walking nearby, including priests from Petera and Bolado.
Pastors, these pastors walked by with pious expressions, and some would show kind smiles to strangers.
There are still players nearby. Yes, just like anywhere, there are still players born here. These players are lucky and unfortunate at the same time. They get the opportunity to become the Eye of Order mage as soon as they are born, but before leaving here
But they will never find warriors to form a team with. They are a group of guys who upgrade slowly, suffering first and then sweetness.
Xiao Fen looked around and noticed that no one was passing by before turning back with a serious expression. He whispered: "We will do as promised! Prince, please show Shui Hao around! Me, Xue and Wind Chime
Enter the tower as originally planned! Up to twenty-four days, no matter whether it is successful or not, we will come out and join you three after twenty-four days of game time!"
He gestured, including goblins, water halos and Mullens, and pointed to a hotel not far away: "There, we will meet there in up to twenty-four days! If it is earlier, we will go there
Waiting for you!"
"No problem!" The goblin slapped his chest.
"Remember clearly, if something goes wrong... don't expect us to save you!" Xiao Fen warned uneasily.
"No...well, no problem!" The Frog Prince nodded confidently.
The black-robed mage breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the prince was much more peaceful than the kitten. Speaking of which, he had no choice but to leave the goblin outside... This place is not like an ordinary town. Which of the wizards in the tower has it?
Without some obscure permanent spell, the goblin might have been discovered before he even took two steps. Finding out that he is a goblin is a small matter, but if the mages are suspicious of him, it will be a big problem -
—After all, he doesn’t yet have the strength to level the Archmage Tower.
At this time, Omar's exhortation sounded in his mind again: "The envoys from the Fortress of the Gods have arrived at the Suzan Highlands. We can mobilize some mortals who believe in us to hinder their progress, but at most, we can only give you a
Months of time!”
"This is your only opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will have to work a thousand times harder to make up for this mistake!"
The two teams separated quickly. Xiao Fen took Xue and Yun Na to the gate of the Great Mage Tower. As they expected, two apprentices blocked their steps.
"Please stop, only those with permission can enter here!" the NPC apprentice said politely.
"Please inform Archmage Sturm that the envoy from the Fortress of the Gods has arrived!" Xiao Fen replied in a low voice.
The NPC apprentice glanced at the three of them doubtfully, but still did not dare to neglect. After giving a few instructions to the companion next to him, he quickly ran to report. Xue turned her head and glanced at Xiao Fen, clenching her fists tightly, and her fingertips were filled with force.
It looks a little whitish.
"Don't be nervous, I'll be counting on you later, Snow!" The mage quietly used his psychic ability to convey the message.
Xue shook slightly and nodded slightly.
Soon, the NPC apprentice ran out again and led the three of them into a small room like a reception room. Xiao Fen noticed a middle-aged mage standing in the room. He was wearing a black and red coat with silver patterns.
He was wearing a burqa and a beautiful flame cloak hanging on his back. Two iron stones were rotating around him, giving him a mysterious flavor. His face was handsome, and he had a small curly mustache on his lips. In fact,
There are very few mages in the world who have such a beard. His skin has a pale color that has not been exposed to the sun all year round, and it also reflects an unhealthy luster. His fingers are thin and long, and the knuckles are protruding one by one. If you don't pay attention, you may even...
Thought it was a skull claw.
Is this guy Sturm? One of the few NPCs who has reached the legendary level before the age of 25? Xiao Fen looked curiously at this middle-aged mage, a former genius. Sturm, currently 42 years old, 10
Level Mage/Level 17 Eye of Order, one of the many powerful figures in the Great Mage Tower organization. Xiao Fen recalled information about this person in his mind.
The middle-aged mage also looked at Xiao Fen and the others. He showed a smile that was far from enthusiastic, and just said politely: "Hello, friends of the Fortress of the Gods!" He tugged on his sleeves. "I
It’s Sturm, the person responsible for receiving you... Although this wastes a lot of time, I’m still very honored!”
"Hello, sir!" Xue stepped out and smiled slightly: "I am Quiet Xue, the representative of this mission!"
She spread her hands to the side: "These two are my followers!"
"Ms. Silver." A trace of surprise flashed in the middle-aged mage's eyes, and he smiled: "It's been a long time, but even so, I still have to check your documents first! Sorry!"
"This is what it should be!" Xue handed over three letters with the emblems of the Hammer of Judgment, the Silver Rose, and the Wings of the Goddess of Life printed on the sealing wax respectively. Of course, these were made with the skills of forging documents. It is said that Xiao Fen
For this reason, he was defrauded of several scrolls by a thief who claimed to be a master forger.
Sturm opened the letter, and a hint of worry flashed in Xue's eyes that was not easy to detect. Xiao Fen and Yun Na looked normal, as calm as if they were really the envoys of the fortress of the gods. After a while, the middle-aged man
The mage coughed lightly, nodded and said: "I'm sure of it! But for insurance purposes - can you let me see your identification? Dear Ms. Silver."
"Okay!" Xue deliberately remained calm and handed over the silver Weislan reward badge.
Sturm looked at the delicate badge carefully, then he frowned slightly, picked up one of the pieces of paper again, and read it carefully. At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed across the face of the middle-aged mage. Xue Qingqing
Biting her lower lip, she was not afraid of being discovered, but she was afraid that she would not be able to handle the tasks assigned to her by Xiao Fen. She was afraid that her mistakes would implicate Xiao Fen.
"Relax!" Xiao Fen reminded him telepathically, but he was actually very nervous. For an NPC with high intelligence like Sturm, it would have required very detailed forged documents to be effective. But he also thought of it.
Firstly, Sturm is not familiar with the handwriting of the writer, and secondly, Xue’s identity should be able to lower the other party’s vigilance, so it is still very likely to succeed.
But now it seems that the second point seems to have had the opposite effect. Xiao Fen looked at Xue, of course not blaming her, but rather blaming himself.
The middle-aged mage raised his head and waved the letter in his hand. At the same time, two arcane guards in mail opened the door and walked in. These two warriors, who were even more familiar with arcane knowledge than some mages, said with a straight face.
Zhang Lian turned his gaze to the three of them.
Sturm showed a harmless smile and said: "Take them down!"
