After a night of turmoil, Bloody Hand Town became peaceful again, and the repair work was slowly carried out with the joint efforts of NPCs and professional life players. However, no matter what, the town would not be able to return to its former prosperity in a short period of time.
The Langya Union was disbanded by the bad president. Although the vice-president quickly re-established the name of Langya, most people chose to leave. The problems at the top of the union really chilled them.
After that night, which was jointly called the Bloody Night by NPCs and players, subtle cracks were clearly left between the players and NPCs in Bloodhand Town. And as Xiao Fen saw, this was actually more than just an area.
It's just a sexual issue. This kind of rift can be seen everywhere in the entire Oras and even the newly opened Rune Island. The conflicts in ideas and behaviors caused by the different sense of existence between players and NPCs are gathering little by little.
But what makes the mage interesting is that the game company is obviously not unaware of this phenomenon, but they have not taken any measures, but have allowed this rift to expand. Xiao Fen wants to know what the purpose of these people is.
Why, whenever he thinks of this, he gets excited for no reason.
Xiao Fen raised his head. As far as he could see, a group of people were repairing and leveling the streets of the town. Several other guys with nails in their mouths stood on the shelf and worked hard to remove wooden signs with the name of Bloody Hand Town.
The sign was nailed to the top of the town entrance. Behind him, Uncle Mullens and the goblins were carrying food and water to the carriage again. This time they were not too prepared. They went from Bloodhand Town to the Sorcerer's Tower and
It's not far, not to mention they are not going to the headquarters of the Eye of Order, they are just going to the Magic Academy at the foot of the Ice Peak Mountain.
Aequen Arcane Fighter Training Academy - the cradle of the Eye of Order, is also the only two magic academies in Aulas, the other one is in Saint-Palagonst, a well-known magic holy city.
At this time, he saw Xue and Yun Na walking over while chatting. They both had peaceful smiles on their faces, but Xue's smile was more gentle, while Yun Na's was confident and calm. A small
The figure followed the two beauties, making Xiao Fen frown. This petite figure was the little girl priest who was taken by Yun Na.
"What is this?" Xiao Fen looked at the little sister who was still a little shy, wondering what Xue and Yun Na meant.
Yun Na smiled and told him that this little sister is called Shuixun. She is a level 3 half-elf priest. She is 15 years old this year. She has a cute appearance and a lively personality... When the female mage mentioned that the little girl's face was getting hot, Xiao Fen quickly interrupted.
When she said that, he stretched out his hand and waved it and said, "Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Yun Na covered her mouth and chuckled: "Let Xue tell you."
Xiao Fen cast curious eyes on Xue. The latter nodded with a smile and said, "This little sister who is dizzy wants to join us."
"What!" Xiao Fen opened his mouth wide. He pointed at the water halo, then pointed at his carriage, and said in stunned silence, "Level 3 priest?"
"It's like this, this mage brother." After talking for a while, Shuiyun's fear of strangers faded a lot, not to mention that she was not a timid and shy girl to begin with. "I actually just want to enjoy this place when I play this game.
It’s just the scenery, just like traveling, I have no interest in leveling up...so I want to follow you and take a look around."
There was a slight look of yearning in her eyes, and then she explained: "I won't follow you in vain. From now on, I will pay for the cost of hiring carriages and food. I can also pay part of the cost of repairing equipment. In addition, I will pay for it every day."
I’ll pay each of my brothers and sisters 5 gold coins on a game day!”
"Of course, I am not hiring brothers and sisters, it is just a kind of compensation! Thank you!" the little girl said expectantly.
Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment, and felt something in his heart. If each game day is 5 gold coins, then in reality it would be more than 15,000 yuan a month. Although it is not very high, it is still a lot to earn this kind of effortless money.
It's cool. Besides, this seems to be the kind of decent temperament that a little girl from a rich family exudes in her conversation. It's not disgusting at all.
"But no matter what, taking risks is very dangerous. With your level so low, it will be difficult for us to protect you." Xiao Fen said after thinking about it.
Shuixun shook his hand and said with a smile: "No, I don't need everyone's protection. Shuixun's money is just as compensation for dragging down my brothers and sisters. You don't have to pay attention to me during the battle. I will find a place to hide by myself."
." She paused and continued: "Furthermore, my role is not important. I don't pay attention to level. Even if I re-establish my role after dying five times."
"If it's a place where secret operations are needed, I can leave the team temporarily." She considered it very carefully, and it was obvious that she did not make this decision suddenly.
Xiao Fen suddenly realized that he also thought about it. He didn't have any big tasks recently. Although the few tasks he had were time-sensitive, they were not dangerous. So he smiled and said to Shui Hao kindly: "Then get in the car.
, our team members!" As he said that, he submitted the request for temporary team formation.
Shuixun jumped for joy, and once again showed the innocence that a little girl should have. She ran to the carriage like flying and began to carefully observe the two golden wingless dragons. She showed extremely curious eyes and stretched out her little hand to pat them.
The head of the wingless dragon, which was only two heads taller than her, muttered to itself. Yun Na and Xue looked at this carefree little girl and both smiled slightly. Xiao Fen turned his head and happened to pay attention.
The female mage's red eyes flashed with a look of reminiscence.
After everything was prepared, the carriage left this place that left a deep memory for everyone. That bloody night would probably still have a place in their memories long afterward. After the carriage left the town and headed northeast, they soon
We soon entered the Snow Mat Trail - the only road leading to the Ice Peaks.
Since this place is close to the northern edge of the Suzan Highlands, the geothermal effect is no longer so obvious. Not too thick snow can be seen everywhere in the coniferous forest, and occasionally a few half-thawed ice streams flash past everyone's sight.
According to Shui Hao, there should usually be many players leveling up around here, but since the haunting incident, it has become sparsely populated.
The carriage walked along the forest path for a while. Shuixun insisted on sitting in front of the carriage, next to Uncle Mullens. She had always been highly curious about the two wingless dragons, which really confused Xiao Fen.
The real purpose of this little sister is to travel or to see animals. But hearing her soft laughter like silver bells coming from the front of the car from time to time is a kind of relief.
Xiao Fen turned his head slightly and said with a low smile: "She is pestering the uncle to tell her stories. She is really like a child...even more childlike than Sophia."
Xue smiled slightly, but Yun Na never raised her head from the roll of parchment. The goblin picked his nails and said disdainfully: "It's just one of 1o1i!"
The mage glared at him angrily and said in a deep voice: "Just in time, I still have something I haven't asked for from you!"
"What...what?" The goblin immediately showed a panicked look.
"Fragments!" Xiao Fen didn't bother to argue with him and directly pointed out the crux of the problem.
The goblin's face became unsightly, and he stammered: "Wha... what fragments, this... local elves don't have those incomplete things!"
The carriage jolted, and there was a short silence in the carriage. The mage looked at the goblin with a smile, and broke the silence and said: "Have you ever seen Yun Na's bone-crushing technique?"
The Frog Prince shivered and nodded with a blue face.
"Then why don't you bring it?" Xiao Fen stretched out his hand and spread it flatly in front of the goblin.
The goblin covered his backpack and shook his head resolutely.
"Then when you enter the Ice Peaks in two days, you have no choice but to be aggrieved and wrap yourself in a blanket!" the mage said coldly.
There was a hesitant expression on the frog prince's face. His facial expression was distorted, as if he was struggling painfully. After a while, he raised his head and said: "Okay... okay, I'll give it to you! But you must remember to give it to me."
Permanent that spell!" As he said that, he took out the thing and put it in Xiao Fen's hand, then turned away and stopped looking at the fragment.
This is the second time Xiao Fen has seen this beautiful fragment. The last time he thought it was a fragment shining with metallic light, but today he realized that he was wrong. The black light lying in his palm was clearly a fragment.
Crystal fragment, this crystal fragment is uneven on one side, but perfectly streamlined on the other. Various silver symbols are embedded in the crystal, which looks really beautiful.
Xiao Fen fiddled with the fragment and suddenly remembered what the president had done. He quickly opened the properties of the fragment and took a look... Then he took a breath of air.
"Prenzo Shadow Fragment, item level: unknown, item attributes: intelligence 12, defense 5, the owner will always gain the effect of arcane vision. Special: This item has not been activated, cannot be equipped, and cannot be used."
The mage flicked hard, and he touched his eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyesight. This thing, even if he puts himself in the position of the president of the Wolf Fang Union, he will definitely do exactly the same thing as him
Things like 12 points of intelligence, defense +5, and permanent arcane visual effects... Oh my god! How could there be such a thing? Is there something wrong with the game system? Xiao Fen groaned.
"How do you use this thing?" He excitedly grabbed the goblin and asked loudly.
The Frog Prince pushed him away angrily and said helplessly: "Damn! If I knew how to use it, would I still give it to you? Even if you kill me, I won't give it to you... I studied it all night yesterday, shit.
Didn’t even notice it!”
Xiao Fen stared at the fragment with a strange light in his eyes. He stroked it gently. Although he didn't know how to use it, he believed that he could use it as long as he collected enough money.
"I don't know how many fragments there are...if I can collect them all! Hehehehehe!" He laughed evilly.
At this moment, a low cry of dizziness came from the front, and then the carriage stopped suddenly, and the carriage shook violently. Xiao Fen stumbled and fell to the ground. If Xue hadn't held him up, he might have had to try his head.
The feeling of landing on the ground. The goblin looked around in surprise, while Yun Na raised her head slightly.
Xiao Fen opened the hanging cushion in front of him and asked: "What's wrong-!" He almost bit his tongue - there was a man and a horse standing on the path in front of him. The man was wearing full-body black armor, and traces of black mist came from
There was seepage from the gaps in his armor, and a pair of eyes burning like balls of fire under the helmet were locked tightly on Xiao Fen. The horse this guy was riding was also extraordinary, with a black charcoal-like coat, as bright as satin, but its
The four hooves and mane are wrapped in balls of eternally burning rolling flames, and a pair of white canine teeth protrude from the mouth. No matter how you look at it, it is different from its grass-eating relatives.
The space solidified, the passing time seemed to have stopped, and the surrounding scenery showed a strange silence.
The mage opened his mouth. Of course he knew who this guy was. A level 32 monster with a challenge level of 17. The Sinking Knight. The once noble demonized knight. In some aspects, their power was not inferior to that of the Balor Fire Demon. Xiao Fen
Not being an idiot, he quickly took out the fragment, suppressed the shock in his heart, and calmly used his psychic ability to send a message: "Are you here to ask for this? Take it! We are not interested in it!"
The fallen knight stared at Xiao Fen silently, without saying anything, and just pulled out the long sword from his waist. The mage was startled, and quickly raised the dark secret law to prepare to cast a spell. But the knight did not attack, but just put the sword horizontally on his chest.
In front of him, he bent down and performed a strange etiquette.
Then, a spiritual cry that seemed to come from the entire forest echoed in Xiao Fen's heart: "That is not important. In ten days, I will go to the Arcane Fighter Training Academy to guide you!"
After finishing speaking, the knight swung the black long sword in front of him to make a sword flower, then put it back into the sheath with a clang, and ran away on the Nightmare without looking back.
"System prompt: The player has obtained the mission 'Guide of Darkness', the mission level is c."
It took a while before Xiao Fen came back to his senses. "Well... keep going!" He ordered with a slight stutter, and then sat back in the carriage, feeling that he had vaguely found some clues.
At this time, Yun Na walked gently to him, took out a book from her backpack and turned to one of the pages. She pointed at one of the illustrations with her slender fingers and explained in a low voice: "The Age of Magic - Ancient Knights"
Etiquette, sword-holding ceremony, represents the respect of the lower knight to the superior."
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Fen with a knowing smile.
The mage looked at the illustration. The lifelike movements of the knight on the illustration were clearly the same as the knight just now.
"Is that why the succubus asked me to come here?" He shook the fragment in his hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
…………
Eight days later, in the Arcane Fighter Training Academy——
This huge academy was once the center of the entire Aequin. In fact, it was located in a small town at the foot of the Ice Peaks. This town once had a name called Silver Moon Tower, but later the academy became the third
During the first expansion, the entire town was included, and from then on the name of the town was no longer mentioned.
This academy is not only the cradle of the Eye of Order in the game, but also the starting point for advancement and familiar quests for nearby players. Even at this time of year, there are many players who come here from the Eye of Law Enforcement town in the north to do quests.
For example, there were four mages who were doing the magic pet mission with Xiao Fen today. However, except for Xiao Fen, the others were only at level five.
In fact, this is the last level of the Demon Pet task. The five of them have helped each other complete all other tasks before - or Xiao Fen led them to complete better tasks. Level 5 tasks are better than level 10 tasks.
It seems a bit simpler for a mage.
Four mages were sitting in the hall chatting, and Xiao Fen was sitting behind them boredly. Xue and the others were still waiting for him in the town, and he didn't have extra time to chat. At this time, a
A middle-aged mage in silver robes walked in from the door holding a pile of scrolls. Xiao Fen raised his head, knowing that this guy was the person in charge.
The middle-aged man walked straight to the center of the hall, and then glanced at the five people. "Very good, I saw a group of quite experienced young people sitting here!" He spat out this sentence: "I am very pleased,
Because you represent the inheritance of Oras’s magical power!”
Then he waved his hand to stop the players: "After a few days of testing, I believe you can already deeply understand the importance of the magic pet as the mage's only friend." At this point, he paused, "So, today..."
"Let's carry out the last step of this task." The middle-aged mage put the scroll on the table. "Generally speaking, this step is collectively called by all mages in Canaan: ritual——!"
