Although people admire the magic of magic, they are also afraid of the destruction caused by this powerful power. According to the custom of Oras, the tower-like building of the Magic Association should be located far outside any town, which can eliminate the inexplicable feeling in people's minds.
It can also maintain the natural sense of mystery of wizards. In fact, most wizards are very satisfied with this arrangement. Although it will be a little troublesome to purchase materials, more often they are willing to have a quiet place where they can do whatever they want.
Delve into magical environments.
Like any other area in Orath, the Magic Tower in Everdark Town is located on the edge of the Netherland Forest about four miles away from the town, which is half a day's walk. It's a bit far, but you can still enjoy the gorgeous and charming south bank of Star Lake at the same time.
The beautiful scenery doesn’t give anyone a chance to complain.
"Half an apple, what do you want from me?" Xiao Fen absent-mindedly admired the intoxicating scenery of Xingchen Lake, but his attention was focused on the little guy next to him. He didn't know this guy, this little guy.
Maybe he is not from Everdark Town at all, because he almost recognizes most of the players in Everdark Town.
"Is there something? Of course there is something, but I don't know if you are interested, Mr. Master!" Half Apple said with a half-smile.
"As long as it's related to making money or tasks, I'm interested." Although Xiao Fen behaved extremely calmly on the surface, there was a burst of curiosity in his heart. Looking at the mysterious look of this little guy, it seemed that he was holding something in his hand.
What valuable information or a 'hidden mission'? Of course, Xiao Fen naturally knew that he must not show concern, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations.
"Oh?" Half Apple rolled his eyes and stared at him with a smile, as if he wanted to see through him.
"It is said that Mr. is the most famous mage in the area along Star Lake!" Seeing that Xiao Fen was unmoved, the halfling had to change the subject temporarily.
In fact, Xiao Fen is the highest-ranked mage among the players in the entire game, and is also the first person on the level list. Half an Apple said this just to provoke him to take the initiative to speak.
Xiao Fen smiled flatly and said, "Does this have anything to do with the content of our conversation?"
"Relationship? Of course there is a relationship! In fact, I hold a secret! A huge secret!" the halfling said happily, "Mr. Mage, you will definitely be interested!"
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"Wait!" Half Apple looked at him warily and said with a suspicious expression: "If I tell you, you have to join forces with me! That's right, you have to do it with me!"
Xiao Fen thought about it and asked, "Are you a player born in Yongdark Town?"
"Me? No, no, no! Of course I'm not!" Half Apple shook his little head hurriedly. "I came here specifically to see you, Mr. Mage."
"Specially come to see me." Xiao Fen is not surprised. As the number one mage in Canaan, there are countless people and teams who come to him for cooperation, including many from other regions and towns. And he has also participated in several so-called adventures.
, but in the end, no matter how harmonious they get along, they always end up with uneven distribution and antagonism among teammates. Therefore, he is really not interested in team adventures. In recent times, he has been alone in the missions, although the process is extremely dangerous.
But it’s also a kind of fun.
"Yes, I have news about a secret treasure here, but the location of this treasure is extremely secretive, and the monsters guarding it are also very powerful. I have to gather some experts to complete this treasure journey. Of course, they must be trustworthy.
Guy!" Half Apple looked stern and lowered his voice.
"You are the first person in this game, so I thought of you first...and the town where you were born is not too far from my birth point. This must be said to be God's will, hehe!" He!
Then he continued.
Xiao Fen's eyes lit up when he heard the words "secret treasure". When he plays games, he always wants to experience the fun of the game and find some money at the same time. He is also considered a semi-professional player. Now he heard that there is a huge treasure waiting for him.
When he went to excavate, he was naturally excited, but he still asked cautiously: "How did you get the news about the treasure?"
The chance of the words "secret treasure" appearing in Canaan is very rare. When the experience increased by a thousand times in the closed beta, batches of high-level players almost searched the Osla area, but they couldn't.
The secret treasure house has been discovered more than three times, let alone the open beta now. The limit is that players can leave the town for hundreds of miles. There is no way to find the treasure, so Xiao Fen naturally doubts what half an apple said.
"I can guarantee that the origin of the treasure is absolutely accurate. I can also tell you in detail, but you have to promise that if the news about the treasure is true, you have to do everything with me!" Half Apple stared at him defensively.
.
"Of course, there is a lot of treasure to be obtained, so of course I will work with you!" Xiao Fen said with a smile.
"Actually, I am a beta player..." The halfling nodded, and then slowly narrated.
Half Apple was among the first batch of closed beta players. He was also a thief during the closed beta, and was the number one thief. However, his interest was not in leveling. Becoming an elusive thief was what he pursued. Wandering
During those days when he was at the top of the level list, he spent almost every day visiting places in the game that were forbidden to players, such as the city lord's mansion, the mansions of nobles, the forbidden areas of temples, and even the archmage's mysterious tower.
Of course, there are many experiences of being discovered. It is common to be chased by guards and fanatical believers. Sometimes, you will also get into trouble with mysterious guardians, demon elephants and other terrible things. Once, you were even killed by an eccentric NPC mage.
He turned into an animal, but it was in this way that he discovered many secrets in the game.
It is said that he once stole a sheepskin map from a certain city lord's house. After interpretation, he found that it turned out to be a trigger item for a hidden mission. Then he naturally completed a series of difficult missions after a lot of hard work.
Finally, he got the news that this map turned out to be about a thief's secret treasure hiding place. However, he was so excited that he found out that the closed beta of the game had come to an end at this time, and he had no chance to find the treasure.
However, he did not give up. After the open beta began, he practiced stealth and unlocking, and then sneaked into the city lord's mansion again and again. After failing three times and consuming three Tear Angel Stones, he finally stole the hidden treasure.
Treasure map, at that moment, he almost cried with joy.
However, although he had obtained the mission props, his experience was still less than a thousand times that of the closed beta test. With his own ability, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to even complete the treasure map mission, let alone explore any treasures, so he first thought of it.
Find other people to help...
After Xiao Fen listened to Half Apple's detailed and almost wordy narration, he couldn't help but secretly admire this little guy. If you want to know what the Tear Angel Stone is, he is actually willing to waste such a precious thing to try it.
On the one hand, it shows that this guy is extremely stubborn, and on the other hand, it also shows how much the treasure map attracts a player.
"This... uh, is it difficult to hide the mission?" he asked carefully.
"Of course, it's very difficult. Although I did it alone during the internal beta test, it was so thrilling at the time. I hung on by a thread several times and almost failed!" Half Apple said while shaking his head with a look on his face.
It was full of shame, as if a generation of masters were looking back on the past.
"Apple, what level were you at during the internal beta test?"
"Me? I was the number one thief at that time!" Half Apple said proudly with a raised tone.
"What level is the number one thief?" Xiao Fen was stunned and asked curiously.
"Ah? Have you never participated in the internal beta? How come you don't even know the 'Apple Thief' who was the number one thief at that time?" Half of the apple was also stunned, with a regretful expression on his face, as if you had never heard of it.
My half-Apple reputation is such a huge loss.
Xiao Fen shook his head. He was busy with graduation two months ago and naturally did not have the opportunity to experience the internal beta. To be honest, if he participated in the internal beta, he would definitely be able to discover many secrets based on his intelligence.
"Damn it, is there any reason for God to allow a guy who has never participated in the internal beta to climb to the top of the rankings!" Half Apple muttered in a low voice.
"Apple, we are not at a high level right now. Do you think it is possible to complete this task?" After confirming the credibility of the news, Xiao Fen immediately began to estimate the feasibility.
"Don't worry, I'm sure," Half Apple whispered, "Maybe we can't meet the requirements to explore the treasure now, but we can still do the previous tasks. As for exploring the treasure... I believe that by then I will
You have that ability!”
"Okay then, I agree to join you, but first things first, we must decide on the distribution method and everyone's share before going to explore the treasure!"
"No problem, I just like a cheerful person like you! Oh! You are really my angel!" Half Apple's eyes were shining and he was dancing and flattering.
"Tch!" Xiao Fen shook his head. It was really hard to believe that the guy who was so serious one moment suddenly became unserious the next moment.
"With the number one master as a sign, it will be much easier to recruit other team members in the future!" Half Apple put its toes on his shoulders and said with a smile.
"By the way, you haven't seen me before...how do you know I can trust you?" Xiao Fen suddenly thought that this little guy never seemed to have any doubts about himself from the beginning. Every time, the little guy showed his cards first, and then
He just expressed his position. No matter how he looked at this guy, he didn't look like he couldn't negotiate. How could he make concessions like this, giving himself great room for choice and convenience?
"Can you trust me? Of course you can trust me!" Half Apple blinked at him, his eyes full of mischief.
"Don't ask why, you will know later!"
Xiao Fen shrugged. It would be nice if someone could trust him, but he didn't bother to ask.
"That's it, we are teammates now, and our adventure team is probably going to exist for a long time. What do you think of a name?" After a short moment of silence, Half Apple suddenly rubbed his hands and asked.
Xiao Fen was alert for a while. He lowered his head and stared at the smart black eyes of the little guy who was only half his height, and said, "You want to form a fixed adventure group?"
"Of course!" Half Apple replied matter-of-factly, "We may not be able to complete this task for some time. Only by establishing a fixed adventure group can we do it more conveniently."
In Canaan, forming a team is a very common thing. In order to carry out tasks or hunt down monsters, players sometimes have to form teams or even team activities. However, this kind of team is quite loose and does not have any binding force.
It is just a temporary combination for profit, and it is this combination that often causes problems. In addition to this kind of team, Canaan also provides a long-term cooperation team, which is the so-called adventure combination.
Combination is a semi-mandatory and long-term combination. Killing monsters in this combination can get more abundant experience rewards than usual. However, registering such a team requires complicated procedures and a considerable fee.
And if a team member forcibly withdraws from the team before the designated time, then he will be forcibly deducted 1/100 of the total experience, which is a very severe punishment in the game.
In Xiao Fen's mind, there is nothing wrong with forming this kind of team, at least the level of reliability must be at least a higher level. However, he doesn't like constraints by nature, and he never really likes this kind of coercive combination method.
"Well, Master Palin, I know you like to be alone, but please consider this matter for everyone! Of course, if you agree, I will be very grateful to you!" Licking his lips, half an apple
It suddenly occurred to me that Xiao Fen had a reputation for being a loner. It was not easy to persuade him to take part in this adventure this time. Looking at the hesitant look on his face, I couldn't help but worry that he would regret it.
"Okay, I'll give it a try! If you're really not used to it, let's talk about it." After thinking about it for a long time, seeing that the halfling was really sincere, Xiao Fen had no choice but to compromise.
"As for the name, you can think about it yourself."
"No problem!" Half Apple snapped his fingers happily, and a stone fell from his heart.
Then the two discussed the specific matters. It wasn't until they discovered that the Magic Association buildings on the edge of the forest had emerged from the distance that Half Apple proposed to break up and agreed on a game time in Eternal Darkness Cast Iron in three days.
We met at the hotel, and after leaving his carrier pigeon address (note: in order to pursue authenticity, Canaan uses carrier pigeons to send messages over long distances, and the time delay is only about 10 minutes, but carrier pigeons are prohibited within 500 yards), this guy took care of himself
He used the Dimension Gate Scroll to return to the city. It seemed that he was unwilling to patronize the magic association. He probably suffered a lot when he was a thief and patronized a certain magic association in the closed beta.
As soon as half of the apple left, Xiao Fen immediately became excited. After all, the secret treasure definitely represents a considerable amount of treasure. Even according to the halfling, even if the treasures discovered during the internal beta were divided equally among twenty people, it would definitely be enough to satisfy everyone.
Personal needs, not to mention it is impossible for him to recruit so many team members.
