The mage stretched out his hand to stop the dwarf's reckless move. He said don't do it! This sentence worked----
The face carved from ice first showed a thoughtful expression - the long eyebrows covered with white frost drooped, the thick lips were pressed tightly, and the nose carved from ice was wrinkled. After a while, this
The facial features of the face were relaxed, and the thick lips opened and closed up and down to speak human words: "Who are you...?"
The wording was extremely awkward, and he stuttered as if the frost had frozen the words one by one; and these words made the people present extremely nervous, and to the adventurers it sounded like a question from the master——You guys
Who is it and what are you doing here? The cold face looked not easy to mess with. The halflings and dwarves were dumbfounded. Miss Griffin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to answer. In the past, they and monsters
The only means of negotiation are fists, swords and spells.
There was a moment of silence...
Xiao Fen pondered for a moment and then stood up: "As you can see, I am a mage, and these are my companions. We are adventurers, and we come here to pursue things that attract us: such as treasures and knowledge. Some people say that we are a group of
Desperados, in fact, you can say that, but not necessarily; we are only driven by profit to explore the unknown, and to a certain extent, we are the same as you." The mage walked up to the three of them and said calmly, without appearing unfamiliar at all,
Nervous, as if just talking to a stranger.
He tried to explain his words as carefully as possible. The other three were a little strange, because the mage had always been concise and to the point in his conversations before.
"Same as me?" The face carved out of ice was attracted by such a passage, showing an expression of interest - the frost-covered eyebrows were slightly raised, and the ice-blue, crystal ball-like eyes also moved.
For a moment. "Adventurer, I understand. Humans, we can talk..." It said slowly and slowly, as if a ball of ice flakes was rolling in its throat, making a rustling noise.
"What do you want to know?" Xiao Fen asked bluntly: "I know your tradition. What are you going to exchange for it?"
"No," Bing Mian shook his head slowly, "Put that away..." It stared at the heart of flame in the mage's hand with disgust.
Xiao Fen glanced at the fiery red crystal ball and handed it back to Griffin.
"Is that a monster or an NPC?...Ahem." Miss Elf asked quietly from the side.
"There is no difference between them, you will understand." The mage replied. As a senior adventurer, he understands better than ordinary players that the method of dealing with encounters should not just be fighting and fighting again.
"Why do you talk to it so much?" she asked again.
"This species... they pursue knowledge in just a few words. It is easy to gain their favor by explaining a term clearly." Xiao Fen tilted his head and answered verbally without changing his gaze.
"Is that so..." Griffin glanced at Xiao Fen with doubts. She always thought that her knowledge attainments should far exceed that of mages of the same level, and that she was the leader in this field; but now she couldn't say that she was the best in this field.
The name of this creature, not to mention its habits and other data, seemed to be very clear to the wizard.
The dwarf paladin was also a little surprised. On the surface, he was a carefree guy, but in fact, the long time of solo adventure had made him more careful and cautious; the dwarf vaguely felt that the mage was a little different from most of the players he had seen.
----If he wasn't sure that the other party was a player, he would almost think that he was an advanced NPC mage.
As for the heartless halfling: he kept staring at the ice man, as if he wanted to see a flower in him.^^ But no matter what other people thought, Xiao Fen was very unhappy.
In fact, he didn't want to stand out. He had already thought of a way to escape, but now he had to change his plan because this team could no longer bear one more battle encounter. Especially since no one among the four knew better than him.
The threatening nature of the creature in front of me - this is a wind ice spirit with a challenge level of nine or higher. Its superb spell skills and wisdom make it extremely difficult to deal with.
It can be said that in Canaan, a common understanding among high-level players is that in an encounter, legal monsters are often the most dangerous, which is a major factor causing team attrition.
Fortunately, just as he was aware of the dangers of the Wind Ice Spirit, Xiao Fen was also aware of the strange habits of this creature. Its superb wisdom is like a double-edged sword in the eyes of a senior adventurer, because it also shows that the other party
Knowing the language, there is still room for negotiation, especially since this is a creature from the neutral camp. But this does not mean that the Wind Ice Spirit has a good temper. On the contrary, this group has been pursuing the creatures in the Extremely Cold Winter Mountains. For
His thirst for knowledge in just a few words is known far and wide for his uncompromising methods.
Of course, it's not that the mage cares much about these temporary teammates - for Griffin and others, this is a leapfrog challenge. Since they have chosen, it is necessary to be mentally prepared - but the battle that can be avoided must be
Try your best to avoid it, this has always been one of Xiao Fen's creeds.
Moreover, his long-term adventure has made him understand that if an encounter in Canaan can be handled by non-combat means, he can often gain much more benefits than direct combat.
Seeing Miss Griffin covering the Heart of Fire with a cloth, there was a loose look on her face, which was like a face carved by frost. "You guys want to take... this?" After a while, Feng Bingjing asked.
.
This sounded like nothing more than a question, and the three elf ladies suddenly became nervous. However, Xiao Fen stopped the dwarf from intensifying the situation. He recalled the other party's attitude, and then nodded: "As you can see, it's exactly
.”
There was a moment of silence.
Griffith pursed her mouth tightly and her eyes were full of nervousness. She sometimes glanced at the mage and didn't quite understand why the other party said that. Her expression was very bad, as if she was about to fall down at any time.
The dwarf stroked the copper ring on his beard for a while, and rubbed his hands for a while; he looked restless, like an ant on a hot pot.
The halfling druid looked curiously at everyone present - whether human or non-human.
There was a rustling sound, which sounded like broken ice falling on the glass. It was uncomfortable. The wind and ice spirit slowly walked out of the darkness. It stood up, a full ten feet tall - taller than everyone present.
One was even taller, with strong limbs, and his body was covered with a thick layer of ice. There were strange runes etched in some places, and there was a faint blue light emitting from it.
It is said that each of these runes seals a powerful spell. When the wind and ice spirits fight, they will be released one by one. Another theory is that these runes imprison the memories of the dead, who were alive.
All the knowledge is stored there in this way, and each one is a mark of a lost life.
No matter which one it was, the mage frowned as he stared at these ice-blue runes. () And another detail that made him greatly uneasy was that there were some personal belongings hanging on this wind and ice spirit. He saw
There is a frost blue dagger, a gray cloth bag that looks like a spell material bag, a thick book, and some beads with unknown uses. These details only mean one thing. That is this
Only a creature also has a professional level, it is not just a monster.
Behind Feng Bingjing, a huge frost lizard came out with its tail swaying. This guy was obviously the one from before - the ice-blue armor plates covering its body showed streaks of gray and black.
It looked like there were burn wounds in some places - it stopped there quietly, staring at Xiao Fen with a very unfriendly look.
The appearance of this thing made everyone present take a breath, and even Xiao Fen himself was sweating. If he hadn't handled it well before, he probably wouldn't have done it with three oil bottles.
Easy to handle.
On the face that was as cold as ice, the long eyebrows covered with white frost trembled slightly. Feng Bingjing spoke again: "I know, you guys."
This made everyone sigh. It sounded like a prophetic statement, but it was well known to the players - no surprise. This should be the opening statement of a mission. Dwarf Paladin and Griffith
Because they immediately looked at the mage, they had never thought about negotiating with the monster. And it seemed that they could get tasks from it.
But what they saw was the mage's frowning face. Xiao Fen was confused: Feng Bingjing said it was you, but her eyes were fixed on him. This pronoun obviously meant something. He frowned, feeling a little anxious.
He twisted the red fabric of the mage's robe, and there was an emergency scroll hidden underneath.
"You guys, don't be nervous." But Feng Bingjing's next words made Xiao Fen put down his anxiety and replaced it with more curiosity: "I have seen that woman."
"She knows you." It said slowly.
"That woman?" the dwarf and Miss Griffith said in unison. Although they had different ideas, the doubts in their hearts were the same: the way the damn wind ice spirit spoke was too weird. But Xiao Fen thought of many things in an instant.
He first thought of Uticana. That name appeared more than once in the devil's quest line. It was also mysterious and taboo, as if it was a name that had disappeared in history. Then somehow, the mage thought of Storm again.
His daughter Iris, the elemental god, is a legend that only exists in almost a few records; there is even Shadi's true body, the one who was resurrected from the underground. Everything belongs to the unknown woman. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
, I am involved in too many quest lines, including a lot of legendary women I know.
"You guys will know, not... now." Feng Bingjing said. He raised his frost-covered eyelids and glanced at the frost lizard: "This is my pet. Don't worry about the previous offense.
.”
It looked at the crystal ball covered with gray cloth in Griffin's hand, and moved its lips: "You guys, take it away...I can leave...Thank you."
"That...what does that mean?...Ahem." Miss Elf asked doubtfully. "This is an exchange." The Wind Ice Spirit blinked its frost-covered eyelids and looked at the Heart of Flame, "Now, I
The mission is accomplished.”
Xiao Fen's heart moved when he heard this, but the dwarf had already asked loudly: "So that's it! Is there any reward?"
"I have a treasure here," Feng Bingjing said slowly, "You guys, take it."
"Treasure!" These words made the dwarves and halflings shout excitedly.
But the mage was not too excited. Firstly, God knows what the Fengbingjing's so-called treasure was. It probably wouldn't be more than twice the standard reward for a seventh-level challenge. Secondly, he saw that this Fengbingjing still had something to say;
Sure enough, before the paladin and the druid could give each other a high-five to celebrate, the other party said this:
"I have a question."
"Oh, what's the problem?" The dwarf was still in the afterglow of excitement. He was trembling with excitement at the thought of the treasure, and the iron bars between the joints of the plate armor were creaking. He didn't care about Feng Bingjing's question at all.
I didn't think there was anything wrong, I just replied lightly.
However, Miss Griffin showed some worries. This smart girl gradually figured out some rules. It seemed that the other party was not that simple. Although Canaan is a simulated world, it is a world after all.
Game, Mother arranges its challenges for every encounter.
The mage noticed the expression of Miss Elf. There was some appreciation; he looked at the Feng Bing Jing again, and for the first time he felt not so worried. These ethnic groups who have spent their whole lives pursuing the existence of the Extremely Cold Winter Mountains, their problem is nothing more than
It's just about some mysterious knowledge. And those present, both Griffin and himself, are leaders in this field.
And behind the challenge, there are undoubtedly generous rewards.
"These are words." Feng Bingjing raised her long eyebrows covered with white frost, and her crampon-like hands touched a rune on her body. Immediately, some illusory words appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a projection: "Among them
's, secret."
As soon as Xiao Fen read those words, cold sweat broke out on his head...
The runes floating in the air were only two lines, and they were not unfamiliar to the mage. In fact, this was the third time he had seen the same words; once in the underground of Forest Dream, and once in
The entrance to this underground city. Once is now. But these are not problems. The real problem is that he cannot answer the secrets contained in these words at all...
Xiao Fen deeply understands the temperament of Feng Bingjing. They are a group of guys who are obsessed with pursuing the mysteries and knowledge of words. If they don't agree with the other party in this regard, a battle is probably inevitable.
Feng Bingjing's emotionless eyes kept staring at the three people, looked around, and said: "For these, words... I have guarded... for a thousand years. This is an exchange... If you can,
Answer...the secrets they contain...we can talk about them."
The mage's eyelids twitched. If this guy really lived for a thousand years or more as he said, then God knows where his challenge level is. As he fastened the scroll under his sleeve, he quietly used a proficient language.
However, he immediately discovered that these words seemed to be protected by some kind of magical power. When he looked at them after being protected by the spell, his mind went blank.
"Can't you answer it?" the halfling asked curiously.
Feng Bingjing didn't speak, just stared at him coldly, making the little guy shudder. Now even the dwarf felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little wrong, and he subconsciously cast doubtful eyes on the mage, but the latter was momentarily confused.
I didn't come up with any ideas either.
"I know...ahem."
At this time, a voice like the sound of nature sounded. It was Miss Griffin's voice.
Feng Bingjing immediately turned his gaze to her, the light flashing in his eyes seemed to be fanatical, but also as cold as a knife.
"This is ancient Canaanite writing. People on the earth call them Ella language - but this is not pure Ella language, but a mysterious branch of it, which was usually used by the priests and prophets at that time." Miss Elf is the word.
She said it clearly, and then explained to her teammates: "I only came into contact with this knowledge by chance through a mission. Originally... ahem, I thought it was useless."
The Feng Bing Jing's expression relaxed, which made the dwarf paladin and the halfling breathe a huge sigh of relief.
At this time, the mage was thinking of another problem: the difficulty of the encounters in the upper and lower parts of this dungeon is as different as a ladder; then this seems to indicate one thing - it is a very rare double-layer structure.
In the dungeon, Xiao Fen suddenly understood at this moment: the upper level is mainly composed of spires, observatories, banquet halls and fortress ruins, with goblins, jackals and some low-level undead creatures distributed, mainly for fifth and sixth level adventurers.
The challenge, the main plot should be to explore some treasures left here by the noble Lord Gort during his lifetime.
As for the lower level, in fact, the door with the spell trap is used as the dividing line - although the spell on that door is only a level II spell, as a reliever, Xiao Fen knows that there are almost ten people who can cast this spell.
A caster level: Such a challenge is obviously not something a level six team can handle.
After passing the door and going deep into the underground part of the fortress, you can see that there is now a more complicated quest line. The mage can't say what this quest line is, but judging from the encounters that appear one after another in front of him, it is at least a level 12
The above C+ level tasks.
This was just the beginning. Xiao Fen had a bad feeling. The following parts might be more difficult. He glanced at his teammates quietly and thought about the next step. But compared to these, Griffith
Because of the young lady's performance, his attitude changed from a little praise at the beginning to surprise and curiosity at this moment. If I want to say that the biggest gain of this trip is undoubtedly getting to know this mage lady.
The elf lady actually knows the ancient Ella language - this is simply a rare thing, especially from the current point of view, this language will be very helpful to his future tasks. The mage couldn't help but look at this petite person.
The sickly young lady, who was huddled under her cloak, pale and coughing all the time, immediately had some bad ideas in her mind.
"Say." Feng Bingjing nodded, finally agreeing with Griffin's statement.
The latter, at this time, took a breath and turned his eyes to Xiao Fen, his eyes were asking----
The mage looked at her, then at Feng Bingjing, and nodded slowly.
There are always things in the world that will happen at the same moment, just like no one can distinguish the direction of history and the future. At the same moment when Xiao Fen nodded to Miss Griffin, a seaport named Terrance,
A black carriage made a rolling sound as it drove into this town with many years of history...
On the other side, in a high tower in Oberseus, groups of mages wearing various robes opened portals and stepped out of the white light. They saw each other, then nodded, and silently walked into a circular room.
