Chapter 8: Demon Lord
"Captain, add a friend."
The barbarian 'God of War Kuiye' also has a pair of brand-new bracers in his hands. He is relatively old, and in reality he is estimated to be a mature and stable uncle, although his performance is not as jumpy as Zhang Ze, but Meiyu's joy is difficult to hide.
"Okay."
Charles was actually a little depressed, as his teammates had all gotten their own gear, and all he had in his backpack was a black stone.
He activated the 'Knowledge' skill, but he couldn't identify what the stone was, but the level 2 dungeon could reward something against the sky. Charles was skeptical. The equipment is still more reliable, and it can continue to accumulate advantages in the early stage.
After the 'God of War Kuiye' added Charles's friends, he went offline.
"Captain, add me too, it's better to do it in the future."
The half-elf female ranger 'Yuyin' also hurriedly threw over a friend to apply. Shire doesn't refuse to come, and it's always a good idea to meet new people in new games.
The sorcerer was haunted by his dreams, and silently turned away and walked away. Charles took the initiative to stop her and sneered, "What, don't you want to give me a buddy position?" β
This dungeon also gave Charles a glimpse of the sorcerer's strength. If he had to choose, he would rather trade two mages for such a turret. In short, no matter what, this big fish can't be let go, and it will be difficult to get through the temporary team of the dungeon group in the future, so it is necessary to select a fixed team member as soon as possible and cultivate tacit understanding.
The pair of crimson eyes under the hood stared at Charles for a while, and nodded slightly, Charles received a prompt to become his friend.
The Ranger and the Sorcerer are gone.
Charles glanced at the female wanderer standing beside him, but did not speak, and walked to Susal in the night.
Zhang Ze's loud voice brought trouble to himself. The players who had not dispersed at the intersection surrounded him, looking at Zhang Ze with admiration and envy.
"Great God, do you still have a place for your thighs, please give me a hug!"
"Kneel and beg for support!"
"Spend a lot of money to get a strategy!"
The sound of chirping startled Zhang Ze. Although he loves to show off, his IQ is absolutely fine. They are very likely to be the first team of the 'Haunted Winery', so the strategy or something, it is definitely worth a thousand gold, these people dare to reach out to him to ask for a copy of the strategy?
Zhang Ze smiled disdainfully in his heart, squeezed out the crowd and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, a yin and yang strange voice came in front of him.
"Yo, isn't this Zhang Ze?"
Han Ke and Jing Feizhou glanced at Zhang Ze's ring with greedy eyes, and then sneered: "Even your garbage team, dare to say that you have cleared the customs?" There are 28 skeletons, zombies, and a lord monster, but I'm afraid that no team in the Susar region has won the first time. β
The female warrior An Ying stood not far away with her arms crossed, and also cast a suspicious gaze.
Zhang Ze didn't want to pay attention to these two people, but when he saw the similar skeptical look in the An sisters' expressions, he immediately rushed to his brain, glared at Han Ke and Jing Feizhou, and sneered: "If I prove that I have opened up, do you dare to slap yourself?" β
He didn't wait for Han Ke and Jing Feizhou to speak, he called out the game options, revealing his latest achievement title.
"Hellfire Law."
"The first hero of the Purple Dragon Winery."
On the green name, a string of dazzling golden honorary titles hangs high.
"Hmph."
Glancing at Han Ke and Jing Feizhou, who were shocked and stunned, Zhang Ze hid his title and name, pulled the hood of his mage robe, and walked away step by step with a twisted wooden staff.
An Yingmei's eyes were full of surprise, and she murmured: "It's actually the first achievement." β
"It turns out that the level 2 dungeon of 'Haunted Winery' really didn't have a team to pass...... Why? Just one more pastor on their ranks? β
Her words were full of incomprehension.
"There's something wrong with that Charles, the key should be him." Anya's quiet face flashed with a hint of discoloration, "You can see that when they came out of the dungeon, those team members, competing for Galchar's friends, knew who the core characters were." β
"I don't believe it." An Ying seemed to be angry, and pouted: "A nerd can also become a core figure? Sister, you said go out and see if anyone believes it. β
A smile welled up in Anya's eyes. "You don't believe it? That's simple, you go and ask Zhang Ze to take us on the next trip tomorrow, and you won't know the truth. β
"Zhang Ze has always been interesting to you, and he will not refuse at all. The Charr will also appear when the time comes. β
"How?" Anya's soft voice makes her look more like an older sister, while An Ying looks a little rough and belongs to the female man type.
"Let me think about it."
An Ying frowned. To be honest, she was tired of hitting the 'haunted winery' for several days in a row. It would be great if you could find someone to bring with you. She didn't like or hate Zhang Ze, because the two met very rarely, that is, they only had a little contact when they welcomed the new semester.
β¦β¦
Charles didn't get off the line, and after entering the city, he went straight to the central library of the aristocratic district.
The female wanderer is like a shadow, silently following each other.
The aristocratic quarters are silent and deserted in the middle of the night, unlike the civilian quarters, where there is a curfew. Once the aborigines and players are caught by the elite guards patrolling intensively, they will inevitably be imprisoned.
Careful to avoid the guards, Charles walked into the library that was not yet closed, where the old mage Hazuz was still buried in front of his desk, writing arcane words on a scroll with a quill pen.
Hearing the movement, the old mage raised his head and pushed the frame of his gold-wire glasses, and when he saw that it was Charles, he showed a smile and said, "Holy Presence, according to the regulations, the library is not allowed to read after nine o'clock in the evening. β
"That's right, I'd like to ask you something."
Charles leaned over to show his respect.
"Oh?" The old mage put down the quill pen and looked a little serious, "What do you want to ask?" β
"Asha Lund, in the language of dragons, what does it mean?" Charles recited a hidden incantation in the rotunda.
"Asha Lund ......"
After repeating it, the old mage smiled dumbly, blinked his eyes, and said, "Holy Presence, you may have missed an opportunity. This is the secret door hint in the dragon language, if you can't find the switch, you have to cast the 'detect secret door' magic. β
ββ¦β¦β
If he could, Charles really didn't want to hold back a big "rely on" in his heart.
'Detect the Secret Door' is a part of the prophecy system. Charles can also obtain this spell in the realm of knowledge.
However, it is important to know that the player's spell slots are limited, especially at low levels, with only three or four one-ring spell slots, which are mainly used to memorize attack spells. Support spells like 'Detect Secret Doors' can only be said that the player's level is not yet high enough to squander spell slots.
'Quicksand at the fingertips' looked at the old and young people talking at the front desk, and his mood was very uneasy.
This Hayzi mage, players didn't have his idea when the test was first opened. However, no matter how much the player pleases the temptation, it will always be a feather. The old mage was indifferent to everyone.
And for Charr, Hai Shizi's kind attitude, the screenshot uploaded to the forum will definitely surprise a group of people. The thought of 'quicksand at the fingertips' turned around, and I understood.
This may be due to the fact that Ogma, the god of knowledge, also believes in the faithful, and as a member of the Catholic, Hayshiz puts himself in the position of his predecessors, and this attitude is justified.
Charles quickly restrained his emotions, leaned over the old mage behind the counter slightly, and continued to ask, "So, the name Orcas, is ......?"
"Orcas?"
The old mage's face suddenly tensed, and he asked, "Where did you hear this name?" β
"A winery outside Susar." Charles said succinctly.
"Hoo ......"
After a period of uncertainty in his expression, Hai Shizi sighed and said, "Orcas, this name represents a demon king. β
"Demon Prince, Lord of Darkness, Orcas."
"He dwells in the bottomless abyss and is revered primarily by demons, necromancers, and the undead. Although Alcas is not really a god, he is close to God. Do you know another demon prince, Dimo Gogan? This is one of the most powerful demon lords in the bottomless abyss, and his strength may be far superior to that of Orx, but he is backward on the divine path. β
Speaking of this, the old mage sighed deeply again, and said with a long light in his eyes: "The tentacles of darkness have finally reached out to the Purple Dragon Country, and Cormier's peace will be broken......"
"Who can live in peace under the shadows?"
"Holy Presence, thank you for being attentive and letting me know the news of the Demon Lord. Forgive me for your presumptuous request, can I ask you to gather more information about demon believers and submit it to me, and then I will present it to the Royal Mage Society? β
As the old mage's voice fell, a quest prompt appeared in front of Charles's eyes:
γGathering Intelligence-Demon Lord Orcas)
[Description: Haptus Calendar, Midwinter 14 A.D., you learned of a demon king from the librarian Haziz because of the cry of the Ice Wraith of the 'Haunted Winery'. At the behalfth of this royal mage's request, perhaps you should return to the winery again, and perhaps you will have a good harvest. γ
γReward: Unknownγ
[Mission Duration: Unlimited]
Without the slightest hesitation, Charles took on the task. The more powerful the enemy behind the mission, the more difficult the mission is, and it may involve the cataclysm of the entire Cormier.
Say goodbye to the old mage.
Charles didn't leave the library, but walked to the corner of the first floor, ready to go offline.
"Is there time after eight o'clock tomorrow night?" Since you want to go back to the 'haunted winery' again, you have to make an appointment. He looked at the female wanderer, who had not spoken.
"Yes." The quicksand of his fingertips tapped his thin chin, and his voice was light.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then."
Already familiar to the point of not being polite, Charles smiled and clicked on the 'quit game' option.
Consciousness is disconnected from the game.
The cluttered college dorms are back in view.
Charles stood up from the game simulation chair, stretched his limbs, and glanced to the side, stunned to find that his nemesis Zhang Ze was outside the balcony, clutching a mobile phone, and talking sneakily.
After a while, Zhang Ze put away his mobile phone, walked into the dormitory, and said to Charles, who was looking for clothes and preparing to take a bath: "Hey, great god, we will have another copy tomorrow." What do you think? β
