Chapter 5

What attracts Chu River to Gaia's game is randomness, unlike some online games that claim to be random, but there are traces of randomness, Gaia's random copies are really randomly generated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, the copies have a theme, and under such a theme, the content in it is actually the same.

One of the most common themes is the Ghost Mine. The Gaia continent has countless rich mineral resources stored underground, and as early as tens of thousands of years ago, the people of Gaia began to mine the minerals on the earth's surface. And the rise of the Arcane Empire thousands of years ago relied on countless deep mining caverns. However, due to some technical problems, these mines are very easy to collapse, and countless hard-working miners have died in mining disasters again and again.

It can be said that when you encounter an ancient mine cave on the side of the road, you will basically encounter ghosts when you walk in. It's just that the ghosts in the abandoned mines don't do anything, and the ghosts in the mines that are still mining will attack the miners because they can't stand the disturbance of the living. In the game, the difference between the two is that the former can only get quest drops, while the latter can also accept quests and get quest rewards. Evan felt like he had come across a random copy with a mission.

Waking up early in the morning, Aven began to prepare the equipment for the expedition. Since he was in a small cave, Evan decided not to take a wooden club, but instead a dagger and ask Trem to borrow some handy weapons. Other exorcism items such as exorcism salt and holy water must also be brought. These things are stored in many places, and holy water is even full of streets in the Allen Empire, where the Radiant Holy Cult is forbidden. This thing is cheap, and where there is a church, it is distributed for free, and it is okay to sprinkle two drops when you take it home, and you can avoid evil spirits to some extent.

As long as there are missionaries of the Radiant Holy Religion, you can see the holy water. After all, this thing is ordinary water, which is prayed for and has the power of radiance attached, except that it will glow faintly in the sun, it is no different from ordinary water. In fact, when it comes to the use of exorcism, this thing may not be as effective as salt.

Evan packed his gear and walked down the stairs. The Tavern is the most convenient place in the world of Gaia, serving as a restaurant during the day and occasionally making a cameo appearance in the Intelligence House and Shop. In the evenings there is a theater and a tavern, as well as housing to live in. Basically, all adventurers live in taverns, and in some remote places, adventurers' guilds will even post adventure quests directly in taverns.

Although the Lava Fortress is a dwarven royal city, the taverns here are actually deserted due to the fact that the dwarves are a very xenophobic race. More often than not, some alcoholic dwarves will drink here at night after work. Evan bought three hot dogs and a large glass of milk at the tavern and settled breakfast.

When you walk out of the tavern gate, you will see the square not far away. There was a fountain in the square, and Agrina was sitting on the edge of it, shaking her left hand in the cool water. Evan didn't step forward to disturb her, and although Agrina was acting relaxed, she was probably doing a ritual now. All clergy perform rituals such as prayers every day, and shamans are no exception.

Sure enough, after a while, a transparent spirit jumped out of the water and flew around Agrina. This should be the spirit of the water element, and through living water, the spirit of the water element can travel from the elemental plane to the material plane. Shamans have different abilities depending on their beliefs. Basically, shamans are divided into five factions, the Earth Spirit faction, the Nature Spirit faction, the All Things Spirit faction, the Ancestral Spirit faction, and the Elemental Spirit faction.

However, shamans do not prohibit multiple faiths, so there are many shamans who believe in multiple gods at the same time. For example, Agrina believes in the water and wind elements of the elemental spirits, as well as the earth spirits and the ancestral spirits. There are some differences between these gods and gods, specifically the difference between locals and outsiders. The gods are basically native to the Gaia world, while the gods are mostly born in other worlds, and their beliefs are also spread across the multiverse.

Some powerful gods will form their own gods, such as the god of nature that the druids believed, and established a natural god system. These gods will also absorb some native gods to their own gods, and the gods of nature have absorbed the World Tree and the spirits of nature to join the nature gods. Shamans who believe in the spirit of nature perform magic spells that are similar to those of the druids, and many of the effects are actually the same.

And in the Elemental Spirit faction, there are also different elements. There are a total of four elemental spirits in the elemental plane, which are earth, water, fire, and wind. Basically, the Elemental Sa is the same as the Elemental Mage's spells, except that the Shaman borrows the power from the Elemental Spirits, while the Mage casts the power of the Elements through spells and spells.

Evan didn't know much about shamans, except that shamans were the most complex of all clergy. If the combination of beliefs is not suitable, the shaman is invalid. In the same way, when paired properly, a shaman is the most powerful cleric.

In order to gain the help of the gods, the shaman needs to communicate with the gods regularly. The daily prayer ritual is all about communing with the gods of faith and strengthening the bond with each other. Other clergy were not so fortunate to have such frequent contact with the gods. Their prayer ritual is basically a ritual that helps in the strengthening of faith and divine power. But this ritual of the shaman can be much more, sometimes the gods will reveal some very important information, and sometimes they will also give the shaman some help.

After a while, Agrina's ritual ended, and the water elemental spirit returned to the elemental plane through the water. Agrina noticed Evan as well, and saw her stand up and walk among the splashes of the fountain. The water splashed in the sunlight and reflected a rainbow, and Agrina, dressed in a brown robe and silver chain mail, looked like a fairy.

"Are you ready?" Agrina asked.

"I need to borrow some weapons from Trem, my stick is left in Stone Castle. Do you want to be together? Evan said as he walked in the direction of Trem's house.

"Of course! I'm going to borrow some weapons to defend myself, too. Agrina followed, and said, "I have been using the little hammer at home and did not bring it out, and I have always relied on magic to deal with it, but I still don't think it is so easy. ”

"But your hammer is a magic weapon, and Trem doesn't necessarily have a magic weapon there."

"What a magic weapon, it's just an ordinary war hammer." Agrina gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think that we shamans will only use magic to fight?" We're going to fight the enemy in close quarters, too! ”
