Chapter 1016: Progress
I thought that with Rashomon's strength and intelligence, he would be able to get up from the blow very quickly.
But the results are often unexpected, and after that, eleven days later, it has reached the day set by 100 million for Nord Stream, and Rashomon is still nowhere to be seen. In this way, Nord Stream suddenly felt that he was not too blindly confident, thinking that he knew Rashomon too well, so that there was such a vacancy.
As early as more than a week ago, a few people from the Legend Group were sent to help guard Apelas. The number of monsters in all areas of Carransley has become normal, but players here are still worried about whether the monsters outside will take over their last city one day.
The number of monsters in Apelas is gradually increasing.
It's not just players from the major cities of Karance who have come here because of the mission, but players from other countries have also appeared. It's just that in the past two weeks, many players have begun to gather in Apelas, constantly brushing up on tasks. It is because of this that the city has been safe in this chaotic wilderness.
This day was the last day of the month, but nothing happened at the Temple of Klokdal.
"Isn't there a hint for the quest?"
Standing on the city gate and looking at the direction of the temple, I thought that there would be some signs today, but looking at the situation, it seems that it is not as simple as Nord Stream thought.
"Nope. β
"Could it be that something happened to the door over there?"
Nord Stream pondered for a few seconds, then looked up and said, "I'm going to go into the temple and have a look." β
When Bang Fan heard this, her first reaction was to oppose it, but no matter how she objected, she couldn't ignore the overall situation. If they don't figure out the situation inside, the Abyss Gate will always be a thorn in their hearts, and sooner or later it will be pierced in their hearts. The enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, no one goes out to find a way, and how to fight the battle behind.
Bang Fan knew about this situation, Nord Stream had to enter the temple.
The people of the Legend Group were notified, and then the group set off for the temple while there was still time.
Along the way, I met many other players who had come all the way to Calance for the mission, and after a few conversations, I probably knew what the situation was like around the temple now. When it was about two hundred meters away from the temple, Nord Stream shouted to stop.
"Don't go any further. β
"President, let's go a little further ahead. β
Nord Stream shook his head.
Along the way, they met three lords, although they were not the most powerful lords they had met these days, but the number had already caused vigilance. Going forward, no matter how powerful they are, Nord Stream is not willing to take a risk and let everyone follow. She has 100 million teleportation props, as long as she finds it near the temple, Nord Stream can teleport to the temple, and then teleport out, this process will basically not be discovered by monsters.
If there are too many people, they will be exposed.
"Ah Mo just follow me. β
With Wei Shengmo to help her cover, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Everyone was more relieved for the time being, watching the backs of the two of them disappear into the black fog, and the surroundings began to become quiet.
"I'll put a Scout Automaton. β
Ilan turned around and summoned the automatons, then installed a purifier and spread it underground. The purifier, the full name of the Dark Energy Purifier, has recently been developed by the Mechanics Guild to increase the detection range and ability of the Scouting Robot in response to the Dark Age.
It takes a thousand union prestige to exchange, and a purifier can be used for about four or five days under normal circumstances. A thousand reputations, on the other hand, take six days for players to farm. A mechanic of their level has a lot of prestige in itself, so this situation should not exist for them.
Originally, because of the demonic mist, the range of the mechanical beast was reduced from 100 meters to 1 meter, and it could even be said that it was completely useless. Automatons equipped with props can purify the magic mist to increase their vision.
This purifier seems to be the best product that requires a lot of prestige to exchange, but in fact, it does not increase much purification power. Only all anomalies within a three-meter radius of the player can be clearly detected. Three meters, in fact, is not very wide, if you find a monster, just react, the monster may have already arrived. But it's just much more useful than the previous situation where nothing can be detected, at least in the early stages of the expansion.
Nord Stream and Wei Shengmo groped their way.
First, there was a stealth exploration of Weishengmo, and then the situation was informed to Nord Stream, and Nord Stream followed the road signs. This way, you can avoid going head-to-head with monsters and save a lot of time.
The distance of two hundred meters is not far, and if it is a run and reconnaissance on the way, it will only take two or three minutes. Micro Ink detection is very fast, and ordinary thieves who have been invisible to the lord will basically be discovered, but Micro Ink's stealth skill points are very high, plus equipment bonuses, in a hidden state, it will not be discovered by any monsters. Unless it's a full-level wizard.
Soon, the two of them cooperated and arrived at the side of the temple.
"If I don't come out within five minutes, you can do it again. β
Wei Shengmo whispered, "I won't wait for five minutes. β
It's just a teleportation into a conversation, and if it takes more than two minutes, he'll act.
"You send a message, I'll pay attention to the message bar. If I'm okay and you go in, things will be troublesome. β
Nord Stream's props are only bound to her, and they can only be used by her, so it is impossible to go in directly with Wei Shengmo. It is impossible to see billions of those mechanical molecules in the temple, which is completely occupied by monsters.
Wei Shengmo replied softly, and it was a promise.
"I'll give you a message every fifteen seconds. β
"Good. β
Beixi pressed the mechanism of the elliptical teleporter in his hand, and a double magic array appeared under his feet, and the mechanical badge flickered, and the next second disappeared in front of Wei Shengmo's eyes.
A monster that noticed something strange nearby approached.
The form of Micro Raw Ink gradually became illusory, until it disappeared completely. The group of monsters came over, looked back and forth a few times, and then left in confusion.
Ding, you enter the land of death.
Familiar darkness.
Nord Stream followed the faint light to the entrance of the cave, and stepped out of the place of death, which still did not change at all.
No monsters entered.
Looking at the closed gate, Nord Stream thought so. Then his gaze fell on the body of the sky above, her eyes were still closed, and she looked much more energetic than when she first met. The complexion is ruddy, and the tail is colorful and gorgeous.
"100 million. β
Nord Stream called, but she didn't respond.
Nord Stream clicks on the taskbar.
It shows that the task is still in progress, and the time limit is today. If she doesn't wake up, Nord Stream doesn't know what will happen later.
"Trouble. β
The news came from Wei Shengmo's side, and Nord Stream replied, and then began to look for anomalies in the area.
It's kind of a wait.
As the minutes passed, Nord Stream was also worried about the micro-raw ink outside the temple.
With the enhancement of the demonic fog erosion, their props will not last long.
Nord Stream has been here for five minutes, but the mission has not responded. She wondered, would it have to wait until the evening to complete the evolution?
If she had been waiting here, the micro ink outside would definitely not be at ease.
Now there is no other way to get here, Nord Stream pondered for a while, but decided to leave.
However, just as she decided to leave, she suddenly received a system prompt.
Ding, discover the hidden breath, and pay attention to your surroundings.
Nord Stream's steps couldn't help but retract. Looking around, he found a yellow question mark on a cocoon chrysalis, and Nord Stream walked over thoughtfully.
Standing in front of the cocoon, I don't know whose it is.
Nord Stream looked at it a few times and raised his hand to touch. Before the fingertips touched the surface, a strong light burst out from the cocoon chrysalis, Nord Stream subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and when the light faded, the scroll wrapped in a yellow magic shield floated above Nord Stream's head, and the scroll was engraved with the badge of a mechanic.
Nord Stream stretched out his hand, and the scroll naturally landed in the palm of his hand.
Ding, you have obtained the [Secret Scroll].
Nord Stream opens.
Ding, whether to take the task [Evolution of Mechanical Molecules (2)]
Quest scrolls.
Nord Stream is naturally acceptable.
Ding, you have successfully taken the hidden quest [Evolution of the Mechanical Molecule (2)], please open the questbar to view the details.
Ding, trigger a special situation, complete the quest [Evolution of Mechanical Molecules (1)], get experience reward 534655, [Lava Titan] x1, [Mechanical Spirit] x5, [Parent Evolution Material] x3.
Nord Stream opened the task bar and found that the previous task of upgrading 100 million had been completed, and there was obviously no change before this, but it was completed directly because the task of the scroll in his hand was triggered?
Nord Stream opens details about the new mission.
After a rough glance, I turned off the interface and frowned.
Something went wrong with evolution.
Yi had expected this to happen, so he buried the scroll in this cocoon. Nord Stream doesn't stay for a long time every time it comes, and these cocooned chrysalis are half-dead and half-alive existences, and it takes a long time to perceive existence. It can be regarded as missing a lot of time before Nord Stream triggered this new mission.
The time of the awakening is no longer specified, but Nord Stream needs to find a large number of mechanical molecules.
The undiscovered mechanical molecules scattered across the continent of Carance need three. Billion will have enough power to wake up. The power of the Fruit of All Things would have been enough for her to complete this evolution.
However, when Yi began to evolve, in order to prevent the erosion of dark monsters, in the process of evolution, he also injected part of his power into the abyssal gate and this area to strengthen the seal.
This is also the reason why the outside is almost full of monsters, and even though the dark power is extremely abundant, it is still impossible to break through here.
In search of the remnants of the mechanical molecules, Nord Stream must also come here for a week to recharge them. It's a troublesome task, but there's no other way.
The Gate of the Abyss relies on 100 million to suppress it, and if Nord Stream is even too troublesome for this kind of thing, probably Karance's side will become the first country to be destroyed.
Teleported out of the temple, Wei Shengmo got the news that he had already cleared the nearby mobs for him.
The two groped all the way back according to the original method, and soon joined everyone.
"How's it going?"
Nord Stream explained the general situation on the way.
Lollipop asked suspiciously, "Do you give the coordinates of the mechanical molecules?"
Nord Stream shook his head.
"Sure enough, you just can't be too naΓ―ve. β
"It's a high-level task after all, and it won't be interesting for you to complete it so easily. β
Back to Appellas.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers opened the door and everyone went in one after another, and there were many people coming and going in front, but when everyone returned, they locked on to the friendly face at a glance.
"It's back. β
He smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes full of gentleness.
"Rason?!"
Day by day, several of them hurriedly rushed over. "Good boy, what's wrong with you? β
"I'm worried about you. β
"Hurry up and be honest. β
Everyone quickly surrounded them, seemingly reproachful, but in fact they were all caring.
Without one person, naturally this family cannot be complete.
"Sorry to worry everyone. Something happened to me at home, so I went back to my hometown. Because the situation is urgent and busy, I can't play the game. β
"Forget it, just go online. We won't bother with you anymore. β
He listened to the fan, doubting the authenticity.
They kept the matter of Luo Sheng and Nord Stream secret and didn't say it, so the insider raised his eyebrows when he heard what he said, and he didn't ask now.
"Well, President, would you like to come here?" Rashomon looked at Nord Stream with a relaxed expression.
Nord Stream nodded.
"You can go and hand in your mission, and don't forget to come back here at 7 p.m. β
Pull the fan to help drive people.
"Luo Sheng, don't you want to do activities together at night. β
"Good. Leave me a vacant seat. Rashomon replied with a smile on his face.
The two didn't go far.
Coming to the street corner, Rashomon stopped. "That's it, if it's too far, the team leader will be jealous. He couldn't help but smile.
"Have you figured it out?"
Rashomon looked soft, "I'm actually not very good at this kind of thing, and in those days in my hometown, I talked to my former friends for a long time. I kind of figured it out. β
"I've always wanted to be president. But this longing is too humbling, and I like it very much, but I never want to make you mine. Sometimes I feel jealous, but it's strange that I don't have the idea of possession. Maybe like the rabbit said, I might like to grow up, but that wasn't enough. Because it wasn't enough, I also felt that I might not be qualified to say that I liked the president. β
"My friend said I was like a child with a tantrum. β
"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to the president. β
"Luo Sheng, when you look at my eyes, I actually admire more than I like. That's why I don't want you to waste too much time on me. β
Others can see far more clearly than themselves.
Rashomon smiled softly: "The mechanical god who is indifferent in the eyes of outsiders is actually an extremely gentle person. Thank you, President. β
"Can I continue to like the president?"
Nord Stream: ......
What?
"Don't worry, I'm talking about liking for friends. β
A touch of cunning flashed in Rashomon's eyes, Beixi couldn't cry or laugh, this person also turned black.
In the bar.
The rabbit who lowered his head and wiped the plate was a little distracted, and when he noticed movement in front of him, he thought that he was also a guest.
So he asked, "Hello, what do you need?"
"Give me a glass of milk. β
The pocket watch rabbit stiffened and raised his head suddenly.
Rashomon was looking at her with a smile.
"I'm back. β
The pocket watch rabbit's eyes were red, but he still had a big smile.
"Welcome back. β
