CHAPTER XXXIV
If you ask an ordinary person, what is the shortest between two points? Eighty percent will get the answer of the shortest straight line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If he answers that two points are the shortest when folded, this person is either engaged in space physics or pretending to be forced.
If he also gives you an axiom of line segments, he is probably still a geometry student......
The reason is simple, but no one expected to be able to play like this.
The mages of the Star Tower are using people's habitual thinking to set up the candidates, and they are from the era of the information explosion, and such a classical pit has not been discovered.
This also shows that inertial thinking is not so easy to break through, not to mention the setting that he used to play games that can break the wall and violently pass through the maze, how can those mazes for people to play in reality allow tourists to destroy at will, and it is strange that the guy who dares to do this is not a fine for sticking a head.
With John's perceptual exit as the direction, Ann is responsible for blasting to open the way. The three of them traveled twice as fast in the second half of the maze as they did in the first half, reaching the exit in less than 10 minutes.
"What, can I ask a question?"
Ascending the stairs to the third floor, John asked Ann with a finger.
"Huh?"
"In the past few years since you left, have you worshipped Master Nikolai as your teacher?"
Strange alchemy items and powerful and ingenious alchemy are the hallmarks of Nikolai's fame, so John asked.
"Sort of"
The NPCs that An Yizhi met all thought that he had a master-apprentice relationship with Nikolai, and An Yizhi didn't bother to deny it, so he simply gave an ambiguous answer.
Because of the benefits brought by being a student of Nikolai, An Yizhi said that he would accept all the orders, as for the disadvantages...... I've never admitted it positively, it's all your own brain, and it has nothing to do with me!
John and Nitya answered in the affirmative.
The former's face was full of envy, and there was something inexplicable in Nitya's eyes when she looked at Ann again.
Looking at their virtues, An knew that Nikolai must be not small, although he had the heart to ask how fierce Nikolai was, but the real students didn't even know what the master was capable of, so he had to give up.
"You're so lucky, if you can learn half of the skills of the Nikolai master, it's enough to be the representative of the alchemy system of the Star Tower."
An Yizhi modestly waved his hand at Nitya, he can't say what the hell is the representative of the alchemy system, right?
"Master Nikolai...... The last time I saw him was at the academy's graduation party, the master was different, he personally captured a dozen succubi, ready to let them perform shadow puppetry, I didn't expect those ferocious creatures of the lower plane to be honestly very obedient...... Oh yes, you drank too much at that time, you didn't see"
John said adoringly.
An Yizhi's first reaction was that there was a shadow puppet show in this copy world!
"I've also heard that the demons captured that time are not ordinary, and they all seem to be the favorite concubines of a certain demon lord. Instead of bothering him, he gave him a lot of gifts."
If you lose your wife, you don't think you will lose money willingly...... This also shows the strength of Nikolai!
"What is this, my father told me about Master Nikolai's youth"
John's expression now is like that of those brainless fan star chasers:
"More than 300 years ago, there was a terrifying Red Lotus Demon Dragon in the north, when Master Nikolai was just over 30 years old, at the invitation of a friend, he went to the northern town of Frozen Stone City to discuss how to deal with this evil dragon that was devastated everywhere, but he didn't expect to encounter it halfway, guess what?"
"How? Say it quickly."
John whetted his appetite, and then said at Nitya's urging:
"Master Nikolai only used three spells to destroy the Red Lotus Demon Dragon, and one of them was a self-created half-finished spell"
"Is that Red Lotus Demon Dragon weak?"
"How is that possible!"
John immediately refuted Nitya's question:
"It was a monster that even the gods could not do anything about, and the locals called it by the word Calamity, and many of the heroes who were so famous at that time died in the dragon's mouth"
"Red Lotus Demon Dragon, challenge level 75, one of the most powerful branches of the dragon family, it is rumored that they come from a world known as Lava Purgatory"
An Yizhi interjected.
The introduction of the Red Lotus Demon Dragon is mentioned in the Player's Handbook. Just by looking at the text introducing it, you can know how ruthless this product is, and it even reminds players in red and bold that if you don't have the strength, don't mess with it, and even the introduction of the Demon Lord and the Devil Lord doesn't have this treatment.
"Challenge level? What is that? ”
Nitya asked, puzzled.
The so-called challenge level is actually a way for Shenwei to set the difficulty of monsters, not that its level is so much. For example, the challenge level of the Minotaur is 7, which means that a minimum of 4 fully equipped level 7 player squads are required to win.
Of course, this rating is only for reference, after all, the strength of the players is very different, and when combined with the tactics, the effect achieved is very different from the value estimated by Shenwei itself.
"Nothing, slip of the tongue"
Ann observed Nitya's expression silently, and when she saw that there was nothing abnormal, she casually fooled over.
Ordinary dungeon NPCs don't know the meaning of challenge level, but apart from players, only special NPCs know the player-specific word 'challenge level'! So this is also a test of Ann Yizhi to Nitya, and he always feels that there is something wrong with Nitya. Because John was also present, An Yizhi couldn't test it with sensitive words such as 'copy' and 'game' that would be blocked, so he had to knock on the side.
"Oh, and then what? And then what? ”
Nitya didn't care about Ann's slip of the tongue and chased after John to ask the rest of the story.
"Master Nikolai took the corpse of the Red Lotus Demon Dragon to Frozen Stone City, and since then, he has been completely famous all over the world, and is known as only under the gods!"
What is the concept of being under God only?
In the game setting, God is the strongest.
In other words, at that time, Nikolai had already become the first person in the mortal world.
"Later, Master Nikolai felt that others were very dissatisfied with his title, why should he be under God, so he spent twenty years preparing"
"What is he going to do? Don't eat it all at once, say it happily."
It seems that Nitya is also a fan of Nikolai's brain......
"Kill the gods!"
An Yizhi feels that Nikolai is the protagonist of a hot-blooded novel, there is no most dick, only more dick!
Killing gods, slaying dragons, all kinds of shocking world-shattering.
When such a dick first met, he actually wore a pair of strawberry printed boxer pants......
In fact, there is nothing wrong with wearing pants, people can wear whatever they want in their own homes, who can care? The problem is that it's not right to wear strawberry pants and a white coat bare-chested, and the picture is full of obscenity.
"Did he succeed then?"
"Nope"
John shook his head and replied:
"My dad doesn't know much about the details of this, I heard that he tried to make a lot of equipment specifically used to kill gods, and then for some reason he suddenly lost interest in killing gods, and those equipment that was powerful enough to kill gods were also sealed in a secret realm that only he knew."
I don't know if I don't listen, but my cheap teacher is so powerful.
After that, one day suddenly Master Nikolai's personality became more and more eccentric, sometimes inexplicably looking for people to fight all over the world, and what was even more strange was that once his opponent was a group of goblins, but he was beaten and fled. So slowly, everyone called him the crazy alchemist behind his back."
John shook his head with some regret, and suddenly thought of something, and pointed to Ann and said:
"By the way, how did you do that? I've never heard of Master Nikolai taking in students."
Confiscated apprentices? So, why did you think of me as his student when we first met? Is it the result of system interference?
Wrong! Problematic!
An Yi clearly remembered that from meeting Nikolai to completing the main quest and leaving the dungeon, Nikolai changed his name a total of five times, and what other resurrection was mentioned at the end?
Inadvertently, Ann Yizhi seems to have come into contact with a dusty secret in the game, but now is not the time to study it properly.
"When I was working as a traveling mage, I passed through a small village called Andora on the way......"
An Yi pointed to the hidden content of some of the suspicious content, and told the two NPCs what he encountered in the first growth dungeon.
"Master Nikolai actually lived in seclusion in such a small place......"
John listened with great fascination, and was eager to run to the village of Andora to see if Nikolai was still there.
"Can you take me to meet Master Nikolai? I'll just look at it from afar."
"There is a chance...... I'll talk about it when I have the chance."
Ann didn't dare to agree to John rashly, although he didn't mean to, God knew if he would anger him when he was out under the name of 'Nicolai student'.
This is not the same as provoking gods and demons, even if Ann pointed a finger at their nose and scolded them, after all, across a world, a powerful creature like them would not be able to easily pass through the interdimensional portal.
But Nikolai is different, and powerful spellcasters always have all kinds of unpredictable means to achieve their goals, which really angers Nikolai...... An Yizhi still picked up the equipment and deleted the number, and it was more pleasant to start over.
I don't know if John deliberately didn't hear Ann's perfunctory, he said happily:
"Billy is also an admirer of the Nikolai Master, if he knew that you were a student of the Nikolai Master, he would definitely not dare to trouble you again"
Speaking of Billy, I have to mention some of the hidden side quests about him.
If Ann gives up on John and chooses to be with Billy. When he learned that An Yizhi had a relationship with Nikolai, he would definitely try his best to please An Yizhi, even if he gave An Yizhi all the magic books he could mobilize. Because he was able to win over the students of Master Nikolai, Billy's position as the next patriarch would definitely be unshakable.
And An Yizhi can also get a reward comparable to a growth dungeon in this difficult difficulty dungeon, plus a powerful NPC friend.
However, who would have thought that there was such a deep layer of hidden branches hidden behind the seemingly ordinary dungeons?
An Yizhi didn't know what he had missed, and if he knew, he would have stomped his feet in the same anger as the last time he missed it in Palundexiu and the Dragon King's handarmour.
"If only one day we could be as strong as Master Nikolai"
John said wistfully.
"Hee-hee, then you have to find a dragon to win and make him famous."
Nitya laughed.
"I'm sure I won't be able to beat it."
John turned to Ann and pointed to:
"But An Yizhi should be able to do it in the future, after all, there are such strong teachers"
An Yizhi smiled and didn't speak, he didn't dare to tell the two NPCs that he had already killed a 'dragon'.
One person, two NPCs, while talking about Nikolai's deeds, move forward. Through the stone arch that shimmers white in the door, you finally reach the third floor with a flower in front of you.
Blue skies, white clouds, green meadows, and endless mountain peaks......
