Chapter 20: The Secret of the Misty Ruins
Magic condensation?
Rod was really a little surprised, you must know that he has been playing summoning swordsmen for seven years, and he has seen all kinds of strange situations, but he has never seen such a strange situation.
The so-called magic condensation,It refers to some summoned elves that cooperate with the holder tacitly and use for a long time,In the process of evolution,Will "breed" something,According to the game,Because their evolution is too fast,Cause excess magic to condense in it,Will eventually transform into magic condensation———In other words,It's equipment。
However, a simpler way to put it is that summoned elves who have a high friendship with themselves will give them a surprise after evolving...... That's all.
But this is not an enviable thing, firstly, most of the equipment given by the summoned elves is not high, and secondly, these equipment are all transfiguration products, only for the summoner to use alone, and if you discard it, it will directly turn into nothingness, and you can't sell or give it away, so it's half a chicken rib.
Rhodes wasn't surprised that summoning elves to produce magic condensation, after all, this holy sword had been following him until now, but what surprised him was that shouldn't ——— holy sword be equipment?
Generally speaking, only creatures with their own will have the property of magic condensation, right?
What's going on?
The Holy Sword isn't a creature.
However, Rod's stunned state was only for a moment, so this system prompt didn't let him confirm it at all, just told him that there was such a thing, and that's it. So the golden words quickly dissipated from Rod's eyes and disappeared. Then, the cards that had been floating in his palm also returned to nothingness.
Lizzie and Mace glanced at each other, but neither said anything. They still don't know exactly who Rhodes is, and they don't know who he is. Although he looks like a swordsman, apart from swordsmanship, everything he does is hardly linked to the swordsman profession. However, the two of them didn't ask much, as an adventurer, Li Jie naturally knew that many swordsmen in the Dao had their own unique strength and inheritance. Mace, on the other hand, was even more certain that Rhodes was likely to be the heir of an ancient family, and that only they would have such an extraordinary existence.
Although he noticed their gaze, Rhodes didn't explain much, as a guild leader, he knew very well that he didn't have to say anything and do less when it wasn't necessary. You must know that those players on the Internet have a war of words, which is called a wonderful and intense, and if you don't use a word correctly, you may be used by the other party to play a big way, especially later, Rod achieved the first guild, and his words and deeds are not used by many enemies. The more you explain, the more loopholes there will be, and you simply don't say anything and let them misunderstand. He just retrieved the cards and began to organize the other items.
The mages are quite wealthy.
In the church, Lizzie and Mace find not only the statue that controls the gargoyle, but also a small pile of gems and crystals that have lost their magical powers, all of which Rhodes has kept. As a part-time alchemist, these things are still somewhat useful to him.
To Rod's surprise, Lijie found a diary on her desk, which recorded the life of the mage after he came to this town.
This made Rhodes intrigued, although as a player, he can be said to be very familiar with the ins and outs of the entire copy of the Mist Ruins, but from the perspective of NPCs, it is the first time.
Although most of the contents of the journal have become obscure, some of the records remain:
In the year of the Sage, on the fifth day of the Thundering Moon..., I succeeded, and after countless innocent lives, I finally saw her shadow clearly, and in the center of the circle, she smiled at me, the same gentle smile as when she was alive. I couldn't even help myself, I called her name, but she didn't hear me. The spell isn't quite there, but I'm already hopeful and I'm right!
The year of the Sage, the fifteenth day of the month of thunder
Praise be to the Holy Soul! I finally got her back, and I gained enough strength to resist all things! Bring the dead soul back to me, and she sees me! I could touch her, feel the warmth of her body, she held me and whispered my name. In that moment, I felt like everything I had done was worth it. Yes...... The one I love the most, Sheena, is still as gentle, beautiful, and considerate as she was when she was alive.
I was conflicted, but I finally made up my mind to confess to her, I told her what I had done, but Sheena forgave me. She forgave me with a smile as before. At that moment, I felt that life was so beautiful, even the sun outside was so bright. I've decided, I'm going to take her out of here, we're going to live an ordinary life, a life like an ordinary person. I'm not going to touch these evil spells anymore, I'm going to move to a quiet mountain village, where we're going to get married, have children, and die like a normal person.
I don't know if I'm still entitled to such happiness, but I'll fight for it, and may the Holy Spirit bless me.
The year of the saints, the third day of the month of desecration
Something is not right.
That's not Sheena, I feel this way, even though she looks exactly the same as I remember, but I feel this way. It wasn't her, I told her my plan, but she just smiled and said yes and agreed. It's so weird, she's a smart girl, but she's also an assertive girl. There's no way she's going to listen to me about everything.
I'm a little skeptical, could it be something wrong with the spell?
Why would she believe my words so much?
I'm going to do another test to see if my thoughts are correct, Holy Soul willing, I hope my thoughts are wrong.
The year of the saints, the fourth day of the month of desecration
The Holy Soul is above, why did such a thing happen!
That's not Sheena! She's just a monster with a Sheena shell! I told her that I would kill people for her, old people, children, women. I don't just need one woman, I want more women to be by my side. If this was really her, then she would never agree. But, to my surprise, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, smiling and listening to me finish everything, and then said hello to me gently.
That's impossible! It's not her! This is not the person I remember! What the hell is she? What is it? What is it? (The handwriting begins to get disorganized.)
The year of the saints, the ninth day of the month of desecration
May the Holy Spirit forgive me for my ignorance.
This may be my punishment for breaking the Divine Law, and I want to reverse life and death and regain my soul that has passed. But I failed, and that's the punishment. It wasn't Sheena, it had no ego at all, it was just an empty shell, a monster that survived by instinctive imprints and spiritual images that explored the depths of others' hearts. I wanted to kill it, but I couldn't, it sucked all my strength...... I'm going to die, and I don't have the strength to stop it.
That's fine...... Since you can't come to me, Sheena, let me go to the eternal river of darkness to find you............
May the Holy Spirit be able to accept my sinful soul ..............., the diary is written here, and all that remains is a blank space. Rod closed the diary, then shook his head, it seems that this mage is indeed a love saint as rumored...... However, if he had chosen to commit suicide earlier, it is estimated that so many people would not have died. But............
A slight sense of incongruity flashed through Rod's mind, and before he could catch it, it flashed away.
Something seems wrong?
Rod frowned and thought for a long time, but in the end he didn't get an answer. However, he quickly put the matter in the back of his mind, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
It was only a small episode, and then the three of them rested for the night in the abandoned church, and the next day set off again, walking into the depths of the fog.
"Huh!"
A dazzling white light flashed, followed by the figure of the ghost that disappeared with the wail.
Compared to before, the evolved star mark is more beautiful, the white and flawless blade is carved with beautiful and delicate hollow patterns, the originally closed snow-white wings are slightly expanded, and the white silver thread that spirals out of it turns into a cage hand around the hilt, just looking at it, you will not think that this is a weapon, but a beautiful work of art, it should not appear on the battlefield, but a place like an art museum or treasure room is its true belonging.
"It's a marvelous masterpiece."
Looking at the long sword in Rod's hand that exuded a faint light and dust, Mace couldn't help but admire.
"With all due respect, Mr. Rhodes, I have never seen such a beautiful weapon in all my years of running the Chamber of Commerce........."
Saying this, Mace narrowed his two small eyes.
"I don't know how to go, you ........."
Rod waved his hand, but he didn't mean to answer Mace's question, he just stared ahead, and then replied in a deep voice.
"We're almost there."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Mace and Lizzie hurriedly raised their heads and followed Rod's gaze, and soon they saw an overgrown square, and on the other side of the square, two huge wooden doors were flickering in the mist.
"Just by going through this gate, we can get to the Arajaq Pass and then be able to descend the mountain."
Speaking of this, Rod also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, since he woke up in this world to the present, his spirit has been in a state of high tension, although adventure is a very happy thing for players, but if it is seriously injured and full of pressure, then even players will not be so happy.
What's more, this is not a game, and you can't go offline to smoke, drink and play mahjong halfway.
But before that, there is still a hurdle to pass.
Rod frowned, carefully observing the fog in front of him. He waved his hand, motioning for the two behind him to pay attention.
"What's the problem? Mr. Rhodes? ”
Seeing Rod's gesture, Lijie quickly reacted, she stepped closer to Rod, and then asked in a low voice.
"Be careful, the battle isn't over yet, we still have one of the most troublesome bosses we haven't solved."
"Rose?"
"Uh...... I mean monsters. ”
Rod shook his head, he was really used to the habit of giving orders in the game, and he really couldn't change it for a while. But now was clearly not the time to pay attention to such a trivial matter, he took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at the two of them.
"Do you know the origin of the ruins of the Misty Fog of the Path?"
Hearing Rod's inquiry, both of them were stunned, and then shook their heads.
"It used to be a bustling town, but after the opening of the Storm Channel, it became deserted - after that, a mage came here, and in order to find his dead love, he conducted forbidden magic experiments here, and in the end, he failed." At this point, Rhodes paused for a moment, then looked at the surrounding town shrouded in mist.
"And after that, the town became like this."
"So Mr. Rhodes, the monster you're talking about is ........."
Mace frowned, he thought that the two gargoyles before were already the most terrifying monsters, could there be anything more terrifying than that?
"Shadow."
The word that came out of Rod's mouth was plain, but the strange tone made both of them feel a chill in their backs.
"It was born of that mage in the last defeat, the most terrible monster, if not careful, then all of us will die here."
"Is it very combative? Mr. Rhodes? ”
Although I wonder how Rod knows the Tao, for Lijie, the problem at hand is obviously more important. But to the surprise, Rod shook his head.
"Frankly speaking, it's not very strong, its attack defense against physical attributes is very weak, similar to that of ordinary ghosts."
"That ............"
Hearing Rod's explanation, Lijie was a little confused, if it was all the same, then why would Rod say that this thing was dangerous?
"Because the Shadow has a special skill."
Rod hesitated, but finally decided to speak up.
"It will probe you inside and transform into something familiar to you, and if you don't wake up from the nightmare it creates in time and keep your faith strong, then you will die."
Rode's tone wasn't very sure when he said this. Because in the game, this boss will only appear after the adventuring team has all entered, it will transform into the player's appearance, and then mess up the player's judgment, at the beginning, this is indeed a very troublesome boss, and many teams have been wiped out here. But the solution was all figured out by people, and soon the player figured out how to deal with it. After many battles, the player found that the Spectre was not very strong, and it was not particularly dangerous other than copying the player itself, that is, if only one player entered the game, then it could only copy the opponent itself, so one-on-one combat is of course not a problem for most players. As a result, after the ghost's mysterious aura was broken, it became a stake used by many players to practice single-farming bosses...... Its end is not tragic.
But............
What is it for, I always feel that there is some contradiction?
Rod frowned, he vaguely felt that a voice in his heart told him that things were not so simple, but for a while, he didn't seem to be able to grasp anything.
"Anyway, leave it to me."
The fog is getting thicker.
Even the brilliance full of divine power could not easily penetrate this sea of clouds and mist.
Rhodes stopped.
He could feel the worried gaze of the girl behind him, but it was the most efficient way, and it was the only way.
"Huh!"
The white blade appeared out of thin air, and the clouds seemed to be agitated by it, and then quickly returned to normal. They hovered around Rhodes, keeping everything out.
The air began to become damp and heavy.
It's coming.
Rhodes lifted his spirits, he subconsciously moved his fingers, and the cold touch from the ring of will on his index finger calmed his mood a lot. He knew the other party very well, from ability to attributes, from its combat methods to attack range, Rod didn't think there was anything difficult about it.........
Probably not.
A figure slowly emerged from the fog, and with its appearance, the surrounding air seemed to become more restless, and the flowing mist reflected the uncertain figure, which looked extremely strange. There was a faint aroma in the air, and mixed with it, there was a strange smell.
That's the smell of disinfectant water.
Rod frowned, he felt that the smell seemed familiar, but he hadn't waited for him to think about it further. The fog in front of it suddenly dispersed, revealing the existence inside.
And the moment he saw the other party, Rhodes froze in place. He couldn't believe it, his eyes wide open, looking at the figure in front of him, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say anything. The dusty memories burst out at this moment, reverberating fiercely in the depths of Rhodes's heart.
