(PS has been a bit stuck in the past few days. So the updates have been stuck in the past few days. I'm sorry to everyone. I'm especially sorry for Ben Bo. Yesterday was his birthday. I originally wanted to send him blessings, but
At that time, there were only more than 10 seconds before 12 o'clock. It was too hasty, so I had to postpone it until today to send belated blessings to Ben Bo. Here I wish Ben Bo a happy birthday, and the family must be harmonious!
Students who are going to have an outbreak, please keep the tickets in your hands. When there is an outbreak, don't give up when the time comes.
Also, I feel that everyone is not very enthusiastic recently. If you have any comments or suggestions, be sure to say them out. I will read the posts in the book review area carefully one by one. Finally, I will continue to ask for your support as always!)
Xiao Fen dug out the stone cone from a pile of white gravel. He put the stone cone in the palm of his hand and found that the thing had cracked from the middle. The stone cone burst when huge energy flowed through it.
Its core, split it in half.
The stone cone was originally a pyramid-like square cone, about the size of a palm, covered with silver lines that conduct energy. There was a groove in the core, where something was supposed to be placed.
The mage dipped his fingers into the grooves and found some crystal powder. He raised his hand and looked under the sun and recognized that these were gemstone dust. Xiao Fen made an appraisal but found nothing, but he suddenly remembered
Yugudola is Ms. Roman's teammate, so she must be quite good at this.
"Miss Yugudora."
"Here!" The female swordsman tied the succubus into a rice dumpling and was chatting with the Guardians of Faith over there. She was asking how much the demonic items in this area could be sold for - then she heard Xiao Fen calling her,
He immediately turned around and showed his intention to ask.
"Make an estimate and see what this is." Xiao Fen threw the stone cone with the grooved side.
Yugudora caught the little thing, looked inside the groove carefully, and sniffed it with the tip of her nose. "Malachite," the female swordsman immediately replied: "Malachite of very good quality, like Port Furtag.
It's produced in the copper mines in the area, and the locals call it a lucky stone." She walked over, threw half of the stone cone back, and commented professionally.
"Did you find anything, Captain Palin?" she asked quietly.
"The succubus used this thing to drive the colossus, but it doesn't look like they were digging the colossus. They must have some other agenda." Xiao Fen picked up the stone cone and compared it: "But
Now I am more concerned about how many of these things they have made in total. The structure of this stone cone is to store mana and export it in time, just like a mana pearl."
"If this is indeed malachite shipped from the Port of Furtag, then Hands of Despair must be mass-producing this little thing."
Yugudora looked at him puzzled.
"Don't understand? If a person is not short of money, and he wants to make an important magic item now, he must first consider efficiency instead of cost." Xiao Fen explained: "Among the magic containers, the best one is Mo
Much like corundum and pearls. Most of their products can be used repeatedly. Have you heard of mana pearls?"
Miss Swordsman nodded.
"So do you think the Hand of Despair doesn't even have this little money? On the contrary, he just wants disposable items. Many, many such disposable items are just like consumables. That's why he uses cheap malachite
To replace corundum, these malachites were excavated from the copper mines in the Port of Furtag, hundreds of miles away, and then made into this kind of stone cone - we can see it here, indicating that the output is already quite amazing.
." The mage picked up the stone cone.
Yugudola raised her eyebrows like two long swords.
She glanced at the giant statue that was broken in two and leaned against the mountain wall and asked, "But they have so many of these things?" She pointed at the giant.
"dig."
"But didn't Mr. Mage say that they were digging up this colossus?" The female swordsman seriously pointed out a problem.
"There is no contradiction between what is dug out and what is being dug - you will always dig out soil, but you cannot say that what you are digging is exactly the soil -" Xiao Fen replied: "You will know if you ask them."
He happened to see the Guardians of Faith and Looking Up in the Dark walking towards this side, and with them was a rogue wearing inlaid armor.
"Mr. Mage, look at this." The guard of faith took a broken stone slab from the wanderer and handed it to Xiao Fen.
Xiao Fen glanced at the stone slab. It was no different from many ancient objects. It was so old that the surface was brittle. He had seen this kind of thing in libraries in many areas, most of which came from before the Magic Era.
Civilizations in the era before the advent of paper used these slates to record information. There were some vague writings left on the slates, and Xiao Fen recognized them at a glance as being in the Ella language. After experiencing the adventure underground in Qigurat City, he
I am very familiar with this kind of writing.
Of course, I still don’t know him.
"What is this?" he asked deliberately.
"This was found from Excavation Site No. 3, and there are many similar things. I think this is what the Hand of Despair is digging, but we don't know what it is." The knight replied: "The Hand of Despair
These stone slabs have been excavated in many places, and we have always suspected that these stone slabs may be related to the stone giants."
"You?" There was something in the mage's words.
"Our own people. There are also many people in the south who are unwilling to join the hands of despair. We are just a group of them. There are people like us in many places." The Guardian of the Faith explained: "We communicate with each other through reality.
Exchanging information so we can know the mobilization of the Hand of Despair—"
"But the North never knew you existed." Xiao Fen looked at them: "Except for you, the players of Plastor."
"Because we can't trust Dragon City. Their performance when the Hand of Despair invaded was too disappointing."
Another group of idealists. Xiao Fen couldn't help but sigh. Although he was also a young man, he was incompatible with these people. Sometimes he even wondered if he was old. But this was not a pretense for him.
The reason is that Xiao Fen has always been a stubborn person, and he rarely changes his mind because of others - in his opinion, it is a miracle that his teammates can change him so much.
But if miracles happen often, they are not considered miracles anymore.
He checked the slate in his hand and found that it was just an ordinary slate with no magic fluctuations. "Thank you for telling me this, but I am actually not interested in it." He said while saying: "I will help you conquer this excavation.
The field, it belongs to you now, all I want is the elves’ sacred objects, this is our deal.”
As he spoke, he handed the slate back.
Several players looked at each other. They really wanted to win over an ally, but the mage rejected them as soon as he opened his mouth, not even giving them a chance to speak. Looking up at the Guardian of Faith in the darkness, the latter was silent for a while and nodded:
"Thank you, Mr. Mage." He frowned, and a ball of light flew out from his chest and landed in his hand. Xiao Fen saw clearly that it was an emerald green heart-shaped gem, like a dark green crystal. But
Even quieter than that is an emerald.
The heart-shaped gem is set in a pendant made of silver, which is extremely beautiful.
Xiao Fen took the gem and immediately got an attribute prompt:
Heart of the Lin Guard [Holy Object], the holder recognized by the Holy Spirit can act as if he has a Druid level equal to his professional level, and can summon the Holy Spirit to fight alongside him. (Special: The holder can force it through a week of meditation.
This object is integrated into one's own body. The holder can temporarily obtain the above benefits, but will suffer a negative level and will be in constant pain. If the Holy Spirit is forcibly summoned, the user will permanently lose 4 points of constitution.)
"It is indeed very strong, but it's not worth paying so many tears for him, right?" The mage held the gleaming gem and asked, "What is the Holy Spirit?"
"White Tiger Terras."
"Isn't that the incarnation of mountains, rivers and forests in mythology, the legendary tiger king that is as high as the mountain and sleeps forever?" Xiao Fen's general knowledge of mythology did not faze Xiao Fen, and he remembered the legend immediately.
"Exactly, it is a mythical creature."
"Mythical creature." The mage remembered the template: "If you had used this thing to deal with me, I would have had a headache."
The Guardian of Faith smiled weakly: "Then all the efforts we have made and all the prices we have paid will be meaningless."
"In other words, you want to use this thing to deal with this excavation site?" Xiao Fen thought for a moment: "I don't see anything here that is worth paying a negative level and permanently losing 4 points of constitution to get it.
.And those tear angel stones, don’t you think the gain is not worth the loss?”
The Guardian of Faith found that he had once again fallen into the opponent's language trap, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he replied seriously: "That's not the case. I came here for another thing."
"what?"
"Forgive me for not being able to answer, because I am not sure whether Mr. Mage is an enemy or a friend." The knight replied: "But until now, I am confident that one day I will make the hand of despair pay the price."
"That seems to be something very important to you, an artifact? Or a job change item?" The mage didn't mind. He looked at the other person and said: "Guardian of Faith, in fact, I remember this name. You are a campaign plot mission.
The triggerer, right? Seven keys, one door, and the task you triggered is - hatred?"
The eyes of the Guardian of Faith were like stars in the darkness. He looked at Xiao Fen, as if confirming that the other party knew his identity from the beginning and did not suddenly remember it.
The knight was noncommittal, but in fact he had already acquiesced to the mage's guess.
"Where did you find this thing?" Xiao Fen slightly raised some of the gems in his hand and asked, "Have you gone deep into the Youlin Forest?"
"No, we found it in an outpost that looked like a forest elf. A wanderer who specializes in selling information gave us the exact information."
"It's not that far from here, isn't it?"
Several players nodded.
Xiao Fen smiled coldly. Milkay had indeed lied to him, but he still didn't know what the green-skinned tree skewers meant.
"Are those elves..." Knight, the arcane knight, came up from behind and happened to hear their conversation. He hesitated and added: "It always feels weird."
"Feeling weird?" The mage turned around.
"Yes, they seem to be guarding something else." The Guardian of Faith added: "When we got this gem, we thought they let us in on purpose. But then their actions made us a little bit confused.
Confusion, maybe these two things are important to them."
"Not necessarily." The mage answered casually, not wanting to get entangled in this issue. He would naturally solve the elves' problems. The mage vaguely felt that there was a very important task line here. Although they had traveled quite a lot from north to south.
For a long time, I have never set foot in the Netherland Forest and the area connected to the Netherland Forest in the north.
According to the setting of Canaan, it is obviously unreasonable that there is no campaign mission in such a large area. The main campaign of Oras is already clear. Let’s see how the missions in this area are related to the main campaign. The mage’s settings for torrential rain have been
Very familiar.
He thought for a while, restrained his thoughts and said: "Do you want to know the relationship between that stone slab and the giant rock statue?"
The Guardian of Faith and others were stunned. Didn't the red-robed master say that he was unwilling to get involved in their affairs?
However, looking up at the same caster in the dark, he suddenly realized that the extremely high-level player in front of him did not seem to be unwilling to help them, but wanted to control the situation. It seemed that all of these top-tier players were indeed high-minded.
Arrogant and never willing to be inferior to others. After reacting, he immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, Mr. Master."
"Warlock." Xiao Fen glanced at him and corrected him.
"Warlock?" Several players' faces clearly showed expressions of "I believe you". Although they look similar on the surface, there are indeed subtle differences in the casting habits of warlocks and mages. In the eyes of experienced people, this difference
It is very large. Mage contacts and performs arcane magic through learning and memory, while Warlock draws the ability from his own blood.
Therefore, mage players mostly manage their limited spells carefully, while warlocks are much more liberal in their use. Xiao Fen's habits accumulated over a long period of time are obviously not like those of a warlock.
Of course, these are all small details. No one cares whether this eccentric player wants to play a warlock or a player. They just look at him doubtfully to see what unique insights he has. Although the main purpose of the Guardian of the Faith is
In order to further launch their mission here, investigating the relationship between the Hand of Despair and these stone giants is also another purpose for them.
"How many stone giants are there?" Yugudora asked from the side.
"Yes." The Guardian of Faith nodded: "Currently, the Hands of Despair have not put these stone giants into the northern battlefield. But our people have been attacked by these giants many times, so one of the focuses of our current mission is
Investigate the origins of these giants."
Xiao Fen and the female swordsman looked at each other, and the knight's answer was exactly in line with their guesses.
"How are you going to investigate?" the female swordsman asked.
He looked up in the darkness and shook his head, sighing and saying: "Other than these stone slabs, we don't have much clue at the moment."
But the mage interrupted him: "On the contrary, I suggest you ask that lady." He pointed at the succubus girl who was tied up like a rice dumpling by Yugudora.
"Devils?" A player said: "They are not trustworthy. You can't tell which word they say is the truth and which word is a lie."
Xiao Fen smiled and said calmly: "I suggest you find a priest with a higher level."
"Priest?"
"It's useless, that hateful succubus in the Realm of Honesty always talks nonsense," another player said: "We have tried threats and inducements, but she still can't get in."
"Realm of Honesty?" The mage shook his head: "You probably used the wrong spell. I happen to know that there is another spell. Come over here and I will teach you a way."
The guards of faith were stunned, and looked up at each other in the darkness. Each saw the confusion on the other's face. However, they still came closer, hoping for the 'method' provided by the mage - Xiao Fen's previous performance had completely conquered him.
They made them feel that this mage was powerful, trustworthy, and unpredictable.
Xiao Fen looked at the succubus over there and smiled slightly, which made the surrounding players' hair stand on end. Then he stood up and whispered something in the ears of the two players. The Guardian of Faith and the two looked up at the two in the darkness.
The expression on his face was confused at first, then a little surprised, but then turned into disbelief.
"Is this okay?" He looked up in the darkness and shouted in despair.
The Guardian of Faith looked at the mage with a strange look on his face, wondering why he always had so many weird ideas. He had strange uses for seemingly serious spells.
"Is it okay?" he asked.
Xiao Fen shrugged, meaning half and half, but said: "Of course."
The Guardian of Faith roughly understood what he meant, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Nate, go find Xingchen, I remember he is level seven, right?"
The Arcane Knight looked at these three people in confusion, not understanding why they suddenly became so resolute, but he still nodded and replied: "Yes, he was over there at Excavation Site No. 3, and he happened to be promoted to the highest level in the battle just now.
Level 7. But if you want him to prepare spells, it's best to wait a little longer."
The mage took out a piece of paper and wrote a line of words on it with a quill pen: "Please ask him to prepare the spells on this. If you have them, come over immediately."
Knight took the note, nodded and turned around to leave.
"What are you going to do?" Yugudola looked at the mage strangely.
"Of course let Miss Succubus tell the truth." Xiao Fen replied matter-of-factly.
The female swordsman frowned and looked at him strangely.
"Don't you believe it, Miss Yugudola? Sometimes lies can turn into truth."
Yugudola thought for a while, then showed an interested look. She put her giant sword back and replied: "Then I'll wait to see your performance, Captain Palin." Of course, the last word of address was
It can almost only be heard between two people.
On the other side, the players used cold water to wake up the female demon who was knocked unconscious by the female swordsman——
When the succubus raised her head, there were still water drops on her forehead, and her hair was all wet and sticking down. She looked extremely weak. But she looked at Xiao Fen with cat-like prismatic pupils, and there was a look in her eyes.
A feeling of hatred came: "It's you, Master——"
"Long time no see, Miss Succubus."
Xiao Fen looked at the succubus and replied.
Everyone was stunned.
