Aiwass knew what Hypatia wanted them to do, which is why he found a way to pay to skip this task.
This is the anniversary mission of the fifth year, which is the last link in the event chain here in Haibasa. It is also the first time that players physically enter the dream world.
In the series of missions in the previous two years, players received the "Prototype Drunken Dream Tincture" and "Dream Navigator" respectively. This year's anniversary mission is to go to various temples to complete small tasks and then ask for the apostle's protection.
After you actually enter the dream world, you will encounter all kinds of plot monsters that are completely unbeatable, and many of them are even elites of the next version. Then there are all kinds of friends you make, and the thighs you have found in advance come out from every corner.
, after a talent show, help stop the enemy, and then send the player to the next stop.
Some thighs are found by players who have just completed the ring mission; some are met in the previous main line, such as Merlin; and there are also old friends that Haibasa has found himself... This is essentially a tour, and it is also equivalent to the preliminary map of the dream world.
introduce.
Finally, he finally found Hypatia's daughter, and found that she was not a phantom, but a mortal soul captured by Hypatia's mysterious skills during his mortal period - she had not been reincarnated, nor had she transformed into a phantom.
Hypatia wanted to resurrect her when he was still a mortal, but he failed to sublimate her into a phantom until he died, so he simply kept it with him.
Her soul was placed in a very exquisite ancient doll, and was hidden in the studio by Haibasa before reincarnation, sealing the sense of time.
Because she has reached the critical point of transforming into a phantom demon, she will easily become a phantom demon. When Hybasa reincarnates, she will not be able to bring her down directly.
The middle doll was broken at the last moment due to fighting or some other reason. The player was quick to think and placed her soul on a clever bird given to the player by Hybasa before - this little bird is the "Dream World"
GPS".
When she wakes up in the material world, the first person she sees is the player who rescued her, so she will call the player dad/mom. At the same time, she has forgotten the past memories because her soul is damaged. Find recovery in Haibasa
Before she can remember the method, she can only let her follow the player.
And obviously, Hypatia had not been found before Aiwass traveled through.
So the players got a talking follower pet with a sweet female voice - it was an almost spherical, translucent bird with a blue body and a light blue halo trailing behind it.
——From the player's perspective, this is a task that must be done.
After all, "She calls me daddy/mommy", and it's a pet with light effects... Even if it's parked on the shoulder or above the head, it's still valuable for posing for photos.
But from a practical point of view, the birth of this daughter bird is actually a mission failure in a sense; if the mission is successful, what will be brought down should be a complete doll. Then she will be resurrected by Haibasa.
Not to mention whether the resurrection of the dead two thousand years ago would violate the taboos of Sand Time... The dream world is really too dangerous.
You know, Aiwass is still being hunted by Xiong Tiansi.
If he enters the dream world, Xiong Tiansi may smell the scent and come looking for him. Those wild phantoms that come to prey on souls can be intercepted or persuaded by the Nine Pillar God's apostles... But if Tiansi comes to kill him in person, what will happen to these wild demons?
The apostle cannot be stopped.
If Aiwass wants to go to the Dream World, he must at least wait until he pulls Xiong Tiansi down.
Fortunately, Haibasa is also very sensible - compared to the players who have been prostituted for three years, Aiwass gave money seriously. And the money he gave was much more than the money on the market to buy tantra books... Although
These tantras are all out-of-print books. But Aiwass himself is also an archbishop and a minister of Avalon, so his status is completely different from that of the errand players.
So Hybasa decided to personally collect materials to make the "Prototype Drunken Dream Tincture". This process alone should take two months.
Later, she will realize that Aiwass cannot walk in the dream world, so she will build a "dream navigator" - this thing is actually what Aiwass is interested in.
Now Aiwass already has a stronghold given by Morgan. If safety is not considered, he can go on an adventure in the dream world with Isabel without the "Prototype·Drunken Dream Tincture". The "Prototype·Drunken Dream Tincture" only provides a powerful
BUFF prevents players from being suddenly killed by unknown AOEs and allows them to barely survive for a few rounds in battles spanning several levels... But not knowing the way is the most fatal problem.
The soul in the material world enters the dream world, just like the creatures on land falling into the sea. Although there are some animals that can force a dog to paddle, and a very small number of animals can dive to hunt, they are not as flexible as pure aquatic animals after all.
Just entering the "deep sea" will cause you to lose your sense of direction, which is a very fatal and unsolvable problem.
Without a navigator, Aiwass wouldn't even dare to leave the "Morgan's Wonderful Room" - he might not be able to go back.
By the time she had packed all these things by herself, it was estimated that several months had passed. By that time, Aiwass might have pulled Xiong Tiansi down. From the current point of view, Xiong Tiansi's brand on Aiwass was getting worse.
The speed is much faster than this...
After bidding farewell to Hypatia, Aiwass took the two of them to the gathering place of the goblins.
A total of 240,000 white crown coins were spent to purchase the tantra book, and there was still a fraction left - but even a fraction was tens of thousands of dollars. It was still enough to buy some daily necessities.
At this moment, night has fallen outside the bookstore.
Looking up, the night sky is full of stars - although these stars are all false.
The elves used their own ancient technology to synchronize the "ceiling" of each floor with the starry sky at the same time.
This is to facilitate astrologers and ritualists, so that they do not have to deduce the specific positions of the stars themselves... and do not have to run to the edge of each floor to see half of the starry sky, and then run to the opposite side to see the other side.
half.
The brightness of these starry skies is much brighter than the normal starry sky - this is also normal.
Because unlike Avalon where there are no entertainment activities at night, the Theocracy is still brightly lit at night.
On the streets and alleys, there are huge crystals of various colors shining with neon light everywhere.
Night has fallen, but there are not many people on the street at all. Different crystal patterns and shapes correspond to different store types. And different crystal colors correspond to the race of the store owners.
Although there are many races in the Theocracy, generally speaking, everyone still tends to do business with their own race.
The dark green rhombus crystal corresponds to the goblin store. Aiwass quickly found a store that provided troll delivery services and purchased some necessary daily necessities from here.
Although the Theocracy does not allow troll trade, as a permanently neutral country, it will respect the customs of other races and countries and will not take away other people's property - for example, troll slaves, which are regarded as private property, are still regarded as goblin traders.
's belongings.
Selling is definitely not allowed, the Theocracy explicitly prohibits such transactions.
But it can be rented.
Just like the goblins who brought trolls to Avalon to build the railway... there are also some goblin merchants who purchase or capture trolls and then take them to work - essentially like contractors, they only
But you don’t have to pay these trolls.
For many trolls, they are happy to work here.
At least on the territory of the Theocracy, you don’t have to worry about being beaten, hungry or dying, and you can wear decent and well-packed clothes. If you are accidentally injured or sick, you can get free medical treatment. It’s better than being born and dying randomly in the hot southern continent.
.
"Your Majesty the Archbishop, this is your first time coming to our place."
Compared with Mr. "Gold Coin", the voice of this goblin businessman is more in line with the human stereotype of goblins - sharp, shriveled, and noisy.
He has dark green skin, and even if he steps on a half-meter-high mat, it only reaches Aiwass's chest.
His Avalonian is not very standard, with a strong Theocracy accent.
But his service attitude was very sincere and respectful: "This moving fee will be waived, and we will move it for you for free! In addition, we will also give you a 16% discount on this purchase - why don't you look at something else?
"If you spend 500 White Crown Coins, you can get a 92% discount, and if you spend 1,000 White Crown Coins, you can get a 15% discount, and there is also an extra draw! There are 100% prizes, and the minimum gift is a fine gemstone jewelry equivalent to 50 White Crown Coins.
The first prize is a pure-blooded griffon egg! No worries, everything is a formal procedure!
"See you don't have a scepter on hand - I have a high-quality white crystal scepter here, which only costs 300 white crown coins. There is also a better consecrated scepter, the original price is 2880. Look, the sign says here
Here we are... Your Excellency, Archbishop, let's make friends, how about I sell it to you for one thousand and fifty?"
Aiwass, who originally had no intention of buying anything, was still a little moved after hearing this.
The consecrated scepter is already considered a light purple weapon.
Although it is mass-produced - its status is probably equivalent to Director Gordon's rune sword.
Sherlock's cane is almost at the same level.
If you can get one thousand and five white crown coins, buy one and make a profit!
Aiwass is not short of money, and he can still make a profit by selling it second-hand at Avalon at this price. Buying a serious, legal, and clean purple weapon in Avalon will cost you a lot.
Thousand white crown coins. Many young arbiters are reluctant to use this kind of thing.
...And speaking of it, Aiwass does not have a scepter.
Although as a demonologist, he already has a powerful main-hand weapon. But as a priest, he only has the diadem as a secondary weapon and does not really have his own scepter.
This store has a good reputation in the field of goblin merchants. At least there are no deceptive fakes... The only problem is that there are some second-hand refurbished goods, and the store owner likes to sell unnecessary things.
But Aiwass does need the scepter, so it can't be considered an unnecessary item.
This is considered a rigid need! A rigid need cannot be considered a sales promotion...
It just so happened that I brought enough money this time, and I still have tens of thousands left——
"...Where is the best scepter you have here?"
Aiwass couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything better than the consecrated scepter?"
Upon hearing this, the goblin merchant suddenly beamed.
"If it's better, the discount might not be that big."
He clapped his hands: "Listen to me and introduce them one by one..."
Behind Aiwass, Sherlock covered his forehead helplessly.
