171 Flame Pinocchius
[Invite group members to confirm: Celia Krumin]
[Task retrieval completed]
[Mission 1: Help Celia repair the Great Magic Circle of Gran Forest and Sky Castle]
[Task 2: Have a direct conversation with at least two apostles]
[Note: There is a certain chance of triggering exclusive missions in this mission]
β¦β¦
Tang Hao was slightly stunned, this invitation task has more things than before, the task process has been doubled, the task of repairing the Great Magic Array is expected, as for the second task...... Is this an indirect recognition of Celia's apostle?
In the plot of the game, although Celia did not follow the player on the adventure, as long as the player encountered something that he did not know during the adventure, he would always find the answer to Celia, whether it was human, elf, celestial or demonic, there was almost nothing Celia did not know.
And then all the other signs, all of which point to Cerea as the Thirteenth Apostleβthe One Who Knows All!
Now, the tasks posted in the chat room are still related to the Apostles.
After the chat room is turned into a regular one, the relationship between the group member recruitment task and the invitation group member is already very clear.
For example, Aoi Miyamori is an animator who has been interested in animation since he was a student, and made an animation of "Seven Gods of Good Fortune" with a few friends, so Megumi Kato and Yukino's task is animation production, which is closely related to Aoi Miyamori's profession and interests.
Another example is Kuriyama Miku, who was originally a killer found by the Nase family, in order to erase the other side of the realm, that is, Kamihara Akito. But in the process of getting along, she gradually fell in love with the object of her assassination, Kamihara Akito, and finally sacrificed her life to save Kamihara Akito, so the mission that Yato God and Ichiki Hiwa invited her was exactly the strongest desire in her heart.
And Ormet, the real hero, a symbol of peace, the task given to Sakata Gintoki in the chat room is also a heroic career, although a monetary value is added as a criterion for completing the task, but with Sakata Gintoki's character, even if it is something that does not have any benefits, at the critical moment, he will take the initiative to rush forward.
These three examples fully show that the tasks posted in the chat room and the identity and willingness of the invited group members are closely related.
Now it's Celia's turn, and if the first mission is her will, the second is clearly her identity.
However, if you talk to the two apostles head-on, most of them do not include Celia, then the apostles that can be reached the fastest at the moment...... One is Rotes, and the second could be Diregi.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao's head suddenly grew for a while, one of these two apostles can be mentally controlled, and the other is the source of plague infection, the danger level is greater than the other, and having a direct conversation with them is no different from sending them to death.
No matter how pitiful their suffering may be, the harm they do to humanity is real.
"What's wrong with you?" Celia suddenly found that the three of them were stunned one by one, thinking that they had also been attacked by the dark force, and couldn't help but ask nervously.
"Nothing." Asuna shook her head with a smile, and then looked at Tang Hao.
Of course, Tang Hao's physical strength has not yet recovered, but it does not prevent him from speaking, and he suddenly showed a righteous expression, "Actually, I am thinking about the matter of the Great Magic Array, since this matter is related to the safety of the entire Arad Continent, then we can't sit idly by, maybe we are deficient in ability, but if you need it, we are willing to accompany you to repair the Great Magic Array." β
Ah, it's starting to fool around.
Kirito and Asuna instinctively thought of the scene of their first contact with Tang Hao, and it was really unbearable to look back on the past.
Celia didn't think much about it, and said happily: "Commander, you are too modest, if you can defeat Sauta, you must be an experienced adventurer, I am honored to have your help, but I don't have much confidence in myself......"
"Regarding the Great Magic Array, I've only seen some in ancient books, and my memory is already a little vague."
"What about the ancient book?" Asuna asked.
"I can't find it anymore."
"And how much more do you know?"
Celia thought for a moment, "I still remember some knowledge about repairing the Great Demon Array, but I don't know if it's accurate......
"I think that's pretty much it." Tang Hao interrupted, "Since Sauta robbed you and asked you to repair the Great Magic Array, it means that you have this ability, no matter what, we should try it first." β
In Tang Hao's opinion, Celia's memory and strength as an elf should be in the process of gradually waking up, and perhaps when she sees the Great Magic Array, this memory will be able to be completed. Of course, if it really doesn't work, it won't be so troublesome for them to go back.
"Okay, then let's go, please."
Celia thought about it and quickly agreed to Tang Hao's proposal.
The Gran Forest is located in the middle of nowhere, except for a few of them, no one else knows that there is a problem with the Great Magic Array, if they ask for help from the Principality, it may take ten days and a half months to go back and forth, and during this time, if the Great Magic Array is more seriously damaged, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Then, the group of four headed towards the depths of Graca.
It's just that Tang Hao is still a little hesitant whether to solve the matter today.
It's not a question of whether he wants to think about it or not, but his current physical condition is a bit bad, if there is a fight, he can only fight soy sauce at most, if he remembers correctly, there is a fire girl in the depths of Graca, Flame Pinosius, if they accidentally clash with her, it will be difficult to deal with them with their current combat strength.
However, the dark power has spread to this side, and the problem of the Great Magic Array is also very serious, and every second that drags on, the difficulty of Celia's repair increases by one point, which is also impossible to delay.
"It's ...... anyway"
In the end, Tang Hao still decided to move forward as fast as possible, and if he really clashed with the Fire Maiden, he could still use spell cards to deal with her.
He doesn't lack hole cards or something.
β¦β¦
I don't know the exact time, but around five o'clock in the afternoon, the group came to the second half of Graca, a forest burned by flames, the blazing flames grilled the earth, giving people the feeling that they were almost like dogs, and most importantly, the way forward was completely blocked by the flames.
"Who is it? Break into my forest! β
Just as Tang Hao was about to use the talisman card to open the way and forcibly break through the flames, a fiery red figure quickly floated in.
This is a black-haired woman, with a revealing figure and flames burning all over her body, and she is extremely flamboyant.
Kirito Asuna's pupils shrank, and they immediately became vigilant, on the way, the two had already heard Tang Hao talk about Flame Pinoxiu, and now it seemed that this female magician was probably even more difficult to deal with than Sauta.
Celia was the first to walk out and looked at the fire girl floating in mid-air, "You're Pinoxiu, right?" I've heard Sauta talk about you, and I know that you blocked the forest to keep people from getting close to the Great Magic Circle, and I'm going to repair the Great Magic Circle now, can you remove the flames? And if these flames are allowed to continue to spread, there is a risk of causing terrible fires if you are not careful. β
"Hah!" Pinoxiu grinned, with a mad expression on his face, "This is the magic flame I created, there will be nothing you worry about, as for repairing the big magic array, little girl, you better go home and wash and sleep, this is not something you can interfere with." β
"But ......"
"Nothing but, I need to use this flame to stop the contents from escaping, this is your last warning, if you still want to break inside, then I will turn me into ashes and die here!"
As he spoke, the staff in Pinoxiu's hand lifted upward, and countless flames jumped in midair, quickly converging into a huge fireball.
"Celia!"
When Asuna saw this, she immediately rushed forward with Kirito and protected Celia behind her.
Tang Hao also quietly held the talisman card in his hand.
"Huh?" Just as the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Pinosius noticed the aura on Kirito and Asuna, and his eyes flashed, "You are...... Genie? β
Asuna was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "That's right, we are elves. β
Kirito and Asuna, who passed the elf transfer, did not just let themselves have some elf attributes, but indeed changed from humans to another race - elves. It's just that unlike normal elves, they can hide their elven characteristics and represent them as human beings, and when they need to use elven power, they can liberate this part of their characteristics, and then they become real elves.
"Elves?" Celia was also stunned, and couldn't help but look at the two of them, and sure enough, she found that Kirito and Asuna's ears had become a little pointy, and she was immediately surprised, "It turns out that you are elves, and this is the first time I've seen elves!" β
No, you're an elf too.
Tang Hao muttered in his heart, and at the same time paid attention to Pinoxiu, and found that her gaze was no longer as vigilant and hostile as just now.
"I see." Pinoche put away his staff, and the fireball in mid-air gradually dispersed, "As far as I know, the elves have been completely wiped out in a fire in the Gran Forest back then, but I didn't expect there to be survivors...... If it's an elf, there may be some possibilities to repair the Great Magic Array. β
This elf is not the other elf, Pinoxiu doesn't know the inside story, and there is a misunderstanding, Tang Hao and they naturally won't take the initiative to explain.
"So, you're willing to remove the flames?" Celia asked.
"No, I'm not going to remove the flames, or what's inside will come out." Pinosius shook his head, "But I'll let you in, so that your purpose is achieved, and ...... I'm going with you. β
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
Of course, Pinoxiu said, "The reason I'm staying here is to protect the Great Magic Array, and since you're here for this, of course I'm obligated to help you. β
Tang Hao blinked his eyes in confusion, what's the matter, Flame Pinoxiu would actually take the initiative to help them.
At this time, he couldn't help but have an illusion, as if a strange voice flashed in his head:
Ding, Flame Pinoche became a companion!
