Chapter 64: Plane Travel (I)
Putting away the small pieces of paper in the package, Tang Xin grinned at the stupid thief and Ah Xiang who were lying on the ground, and then beckoned to the girls: "Finish cutting and call it a day!" Isn't it fun this time? ”
"Wow, hey, hey! It's so enjoyable! I step on ......" Xiao Doudou happily waved his staff, stepped on the corpse of the scumbag and on the ground, and stomped a few feet proudly, they rarely have the opportunity to be able to magnify the move so happily to kill other players, maybe they can experience it when fighting monsters, but when it comes to pvp, they are mages who can only stand on the stake, and they can only stand in place and be abused by others.
This time, I killed a bunch of nasty people with such a relaxed and pleasant blast of magic, and it also made these girls, who have only been fighting monsters, experience the fun of PK a little.
Tang Xin saw that she was so happy, so he didn't remind her that players who were lying on the corpse could play a text bubble, either they hadn't released their souls yet, or they had already run out of corpses, but they hadn't gotten up right away. Although they didn't know what was going on with the two lying on the ground, they could definitely see the sight of Xiao Dou trampling on their corpses.
Ah Xiang and the little lover of the dumb melon thief were so angry that they couldn't wait to jump up, but thinking about Tang Xin's force value next to him...... They didn't want to look for abuse on their own anymore, and without much struggle, they released their souls to resurrect the point of resurrection.
"Are you free? I have an interesting task here, would you like to join us? Tang Xin said, since everyone is here, it can't be said that the task is taken or done, right? How many people have worked hard to get these high-end task chains, but Tang Xin has a backlog of several, task chains, hidden tasks, and epic tasks...... It feels like a doppelganger has no skills. Alas, the schedule is a bit full, which is really a happy trouble!
"Ahh May I? Won't a few of us hold you back? "Banmu Remnant Yang is confused, but he also knows that among the few of them, only Dou Ding Ding and Zhu Ye Qingqing's strength is not bad, but this is just their own feeling, and Tang Xin and a master like them don't seem to be at the same level.
"It's okay, it's not a difficult task. And there's a chance to do a plane trip! It's a rare sight! If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a long time. Tang Xin didn't care, and continued to tempt.
This is a different kind of exploratory quest than the next quest and mercenary quest...... There were fewer battles in the process. There is not much demand for the hard power of the player.
The charm of the quest lies in the fact that with the continuous discovery of hidden plots, the exploration of unknown secrets and the contact with high-AI NPC heroes, there is even a chance to change and influence the future direction of the entire continent and various races. Tang Xin and Wen Ergongzi received several epic tasks that were all like this.
To accomplish these tasks, a certain amount of emotional intelligence, communication skills, and reasoning skills are required. And not tough power.
A few girls have better hearts. Originally, he felt that his strength was not enough, and he was afraid of delaying Tang Xin's time, but after listening to Tang Xin's explanation, he raised his hand one after another and asked to join. Wow! Plane Travel! They hadn't even heard of it, alas! This time you must hug your thighs, it will definitely be great to experience it!
Tang Xin's test mission was originally to find evidence to prove that the reason for the death of the Tree of Life was related to the ether plane. Tang Xin had long forgotten where to find the evidence, after all, it was a long time ago.
But this little note that broke out from the scumbag girl group awakened her memories. The next thing seems to be to go to Elder Severn with a small note, and then go to the big library in Stormwind City to find an old man who cleans the attic. The old man had been in contact with the Aetherwalker and was able to translate the words on a slip of paper......
Take the note back and go to Elder Severn, and the elder will release the pre-task, and Tang Xin can't remember the content, but she has a vague impression, as if at the end of the pre-task in the first stage, there is a chance to go to the ether noodles. Go to the aether noodles to play, just listening to the forced style is very high!
Because of Tang Xin's memory, the progress in the early stage was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to finish running the library in Stormwind City and get the translated note by relying on the teleportation array back and forth. When doing the task, they were all divided into several routes, Tang Xin sorted out a few routes according to some clues in her vague memory, she and the four girls each ran one, and also found a lot of useful clues piecemeal.
"Human children, it seems that this incident is a little beyond our expectations." Elder Severn held the note in his hand, looked through the other clues they had found, and frowned, "I'm afraid what you said before was right, all kinds of signs indicate that the reason why the Tree of Life does not bear fruit has something to do with the Aether Face. ”
"Yes, Elder Severn, the situation is very critical if this continues, the power of the Tree of Life has all been lost, and there is no way to continue to grow." The dwarf seems to be more anxious than the elves, and she is very emotionally involved in the plot, eager to solve the problems of the elves.
"Elder, can we go to the Aether Side? Maybe there's a clue there. The quiet and elegant Zhu Ye Qingqing opened her mouth unusually, but her reason was completely different from Xiao Doudou.
Zhu Ye Qingqing's hobby is to collect all kinds of small items with stories in the game, and when she hears any special maps and special dungeons, she has to go in and search for them, and then record these items and stories in different categories and store them in the warehouse, for which she has also specially expanded the warehouse several times. The cost of expanding the warehouse is much higher than the value of the items. But the value of these stories in Zhu Ye Qingqing's heart is priceless. Aether, this uncultivated virgin land, there must be many historical objects that can be unearthed.
But in fact, if Tang Xin knew her thoughts, she would definitely say the child, I'm afraid you would be disappointed. The Aether Side is actually quite boring, with only a few things that look like ghosts, except for a few buildings and aether creatures.
In layman's terms, the Aether is a bit like a boring highway, a protective membrane for the inner planes, connecting different planes, with various exits, and some buildings and land in its own right.
At the same time, it is also a place where the possibility of existence is born, where the ether gathers and grows slowly, eventually evolving into a true half-plane, and even after a thousand years. But the etheric side itself does not contain any interesting stories and civilizations.
Constantine, the god of shadows that Tang Xin believes, is in the shadow half-plane, and is the god of the shadow plane. The shadow half-plane, which is stored in the etheric plane, is the largest of them all, and is powerful enough to extend its essence into the main matter plane.
As you can imagine, the shadows of everything in the world are contained in this half-plane, villages, towns, forests, mountains, oceans, deserts...... The shadows cast by a qiē will eventually fall in the shadow plane.
The Shadow Plane is extremely dangerous. There are projections of all kinds of powerful creatures in the world, which are made up of shadow matter and can kill people invisibly. And there are also extremely dangerous shadow creatures such as shadow dragons, shades, and shadows.
Even Tang Xin back then didn't have the opportunity to go to the shadow plane, she had only been to the ether plane, the astral plane, and the paradise and heavenly mountain in the outer plane that were located in the heavenly realm. Both of these places are planes of the Good Order faction. It's not particularly dangerous, and the environment is beautiful, and it's open for players to explore in the second expansion.
In the game's parlance, you can think of these planes as new maps that are gradually opening up.
"The poet Marini once said that there was a vast continent filled with fog, but what he saw was only the aetheric membrane at the edge of the aether, and in fact the deep aetheric surface was more like the sea. There are lands in the ocean, and there are deeper planes......" Elder Severn recounted. Revealing the tip of the iceberg of his profound knowledge, he didn't go too deep, but just popularized some basic knowledge to everyone, and at the same time expressed his still doubtful opinion, "The ether itself is an inexhaustible existence, even if some creatures in the living ether will go to the main material plane to hunt for food, but I really can't imagine what the life force means to them." ”
The girls of the mage four-member group were already a little dizzy when they heard it, they didn't have any concept of the universe in the game, and suddenly came into contact with the content of these very core plane cosmology, their heads were big, and their eyes turned into mosquito coils.
Oh my God, what kind of game are we playing? Why does it feel so complicated? Plane, what east? There are also a variety of different planes. They are hillbillies who have never even been out of the Elven Forest in the Southern Continent, and now they have directly skipped domestic travel, international travel, and interstellar travel...... Traveled directly to the plane.
Isn't that going a little too fast?
"Elder, just tell me how to go!" In the end, it was Tang Xin who interrupted Elder Saiwen, who couldn't stop talking, Tang Xin's character has a cunning attribute, so even if she interrupted Elder's words, it would not affect the issuance of the task.
She was fascinated by these contents, this is simply the content of another world that no matter how rich her imagination is, she can't reach it, the ether plane, the astral plane, the inner plane, the outer plane, the seventeen outer planes and the six inner planes, each with different characteristics and modes of operation......
Originally, like other ordinary players, she only thought that the simulated world was a fantasy game, magic, power, empire, gods and demons...... That's all there is to it. It turned out that they were just sitting in the well and watching the sky, and they had not yet come into contact with these larger worldviews and cosmos.
"In fact, powerful mages can open the entrance to the ether plane, those Dharma gods are even using the ether all the time to create a small half-plane, and the ether plane also has many portals in the main material plane, but there are boundless, full of mist, maybe you go in, you will never be able to get out......" Elder Severn answered Tang Xin's question, but he still hesitated, although he was worried about the problem of the tree of life, he did not want to see the person who accepted the task lost in the ether.
"Elder, we just want to find out the cause of the loss of life force of the Tree of Life, maybe if there is some way to locate the entrance to the ether side corresponding to the Tree of Life." Tang Xin prompted.
"Then I can only turn to my old friend Gianna, you don't know her, do you?"
"Is it the ** Shi Gianna?" "It's Kenrito's boss, wow, I adore her!" ”…… Several mage sisters immediately responded that Gianna was the princess of the seaside kingdom of Kurtiras, the daughter of Dale Proudmore, and studied under the former leader of Kenrito, Antonidas, who was located in the magical capital of Dalaran and was a transcendent mage council. Once the ruler of the now-destroyed Theramore, she is now the leader of Kenrito.
"Hehe, the little girls are in good spirits! Yes, that's her! Gianna is a very skilled mage, go find her, she will help you. Elder Saiwen said happily, and gave Tang Xin and the tokens to them. (To be continued......)
PS: (testimonials don't count words)
I started writing at one o'clock in the morning, and I actually wrote it to the present, and in the end, there are too many materials that need to be viewed, but I don't want to write boring, so I changed it back and forth for a long time, and tried to use concise language to express the concept of the plane clearly, hoping that it would not make people feel obscure.
