505 The mage's method of finding the murderer
What kind of person is the vice president of the Magic Association?
Anyway, you should be quite capable, right, and you were assassinated like this? Is it a story quest pushed by the game, or is it the natural evolution of this world?
The forum is a place for players to communicate, after two years of game exploration and communication, players have understood that there are two major categories of tasks, one is the main plot task pushed by the game system.
One of the characteristics of this kind of story quest is that it will activate a special spatial enchantment, which temporarily transfers the player to the mirror quest location, and does not affect the grass and leaves in the game.
The other kind of quest is the quest issued by the NPCs in the game world, which will be recognized by the game system, and any actions and behaviors that are arbitrarily injured will have a greater or lesser impact on the game world.
This type of task is called a sandbox task.
Because it is simply not known what the consequences of such a task will be.
There have been quite a few players who have been tasked by the NPPC saying that so-and-so did all kinds of evil and robbed his woman, but after killing the target of the mission, he found out that he had been fooled.
The NPC that posted the quest is the villain.
Then there is a significant decline in regional prestige, often accompanied by wanted notices, revenge on the relatives of the slain, and so on.
In most cases, after a sincere apology, a large amount of money in compensation, and revenge for the victim's relatives, the matter can barely be turned over.
But there are also some more real NPCs, players who have to do something wrong to fight for their lives.
In this case, most players will kill themselves and then delete the number and retrain.
A small percentage of players will give up their entire wealth to NPCs, and then run away, carrying a guilty mindset, to a distant place to redevelop.
As the number of these things on the forums increases, other players will become very careful when taking on sandbox tasks.
I tend to keep an eye on it.
Roland takes the time to find time on the forums every day to get the content that other players have posted about the game, and he knows about it. Moreover, when he first entered the game, he also encountered a similar thing in Red Clay Town, and although he completed the task, it caused his reputation to decrease in Red Clay Town.
Roland looked around and saw that there were other black-robed soldiers knocking on other people's rooms, saying similar things, and knew that this gathering was not aimed at him alone.
Then he subconsciously opened the interface of the task system, glanced at it, and there was no task prompt.
Although I was a little disappointed, it was a pity that such a big thing as the assassination of the vice president did not trigger any tasks. But it's normal to think about it, he's been in the game for more than two years now, and he hasn't triggered many missions, and he's not the lucky boy of Beta.
Refocus on the black-robed soldier in front of you.
"Okay, we'll meet in the square in a moment, can you get us a little ready?"
"It should."
The black-robed soldier saluted slightly, then knocked on the door of the next house. Those who can live here are either magical elites or dignitaries, who are a small soldier and can't afford to offend.
Roland returned to the room and said to Andonara, "Let's go to the square first." ”
No matter how Andonara said it, she was also a legendary-level powerhouse, although she was in the room, she could clearly hear the words of the black-robed soldier.
Looking at the freshly prepared dishes on the table with some regret: "It's a pity that you can't eat it while it's hot." ”
Roland walked over, put these dishes in the system backpack, and said: "Let's go, come back and eat after going to the square, put it in my space backpack, it's always hot." ”
"yes, okay." Andonara happily came over and took Roland's arm.
When the two of them walked through the door, they saw groups of people walking in the direction of the square, and they followed them, and it was not long before they came to the square.
The square where the flying boat docked was very large, and even if more than 10,000 people poured in, it still looked empty.
However, there are many black-robed guards in the square to maintain order, and at the same time limit the scope of people's concentration places, so as not to be too scattered and inconvenient.
Roland and Andonara randomly found a place to stand.
It was in stark contrast to other worried magicians, even dignitaries.
More and more people came out of the Magic Guild's building, and after about half an hour, fewer people came out.
The last four Legendary-level mages flew into the air, and one of them waved his hand, and a large purple enchantment enveloped them all.
Of the four, two were mentors of the Red Magic Tower, and the other two Roland hadn't met.
Andonara leaned against Roland and whispered, "Give me the sword, just in case." ”
Andonara is the kind of woman who is particularly insecure, and she feels happy as long as she is by Roland's side.
But again, she didn't allow anyone to hurt Roland.
The four legendary mages made her feel a certain amount of pressure.
Without a sword in her hand, she always felt that she couldn't protect her man.
Roland took out the epic magic sword that he had made and enchanted by him, handed it to Andonara, and whispered, "Later, if something happens, you should protect yourself first." ”
"No, I'm going to protect you."
"Don't forget, I'm the Son of Gold." Roland said forcefully: "At this time, you have to be me, understand?" ”
"But......" Andonara struggled.
On the one hand, she listened to Roland's words very much, but when she thought that Roland might be hurt, she felt very uncomfortable and wanted to refuse Roland's command.
To listen or not to listen, these two thoughts clashed in her mind, which made her very unhappy.
In essence, vine-type women almost all have problems in this regard.
When encountering something related to one's man, and one's own thoughts conflict with men, they often hesitate.
Who doesn't have some strongholds in this world, and while Andonara is gentle and virtuous, she is a little undecided, and it is not a big problem.
And she has a lot of advantages.
"Listen to me." Roland took her hand and continued to say strongly: "If something really happens, you have to protect yourself as the first priority, understand!" ”
Andonara hesitated, then nodded.
When the barrier in the air was completely closed, one of the legendary magicians whom Roland did not know shouted in amplification, "Friends gathered here, let me say sorry first. You should also know the general thing, the vice president of our Magic Association has been assassinated, and the murderer is hiding among you, and now, I need to conduct a polygraph test on you, I know this is a very rude act, but now the situation is very serious, I hope you can understand us, and give enough cooperation. ”
As the legendary mage said, lie detection, like faction detection, is a very much-criticized form of magic.
It's as offensive as taking off your clothes in public and testing if you're a man or a woman.
Self-esteem can also be greatly affected.
But the legendary mage said so, besides, now that a big man like the vice president of the Magician Association has been assassinated, the murderer is hiding among them, and the murderer can kill the vice president of the Magic Association, he can kill them, and find out the murderer, which is to help them eliminate danger in disguise.
So there is no objection to it.
The legendary mage chanted the incantation, and a green aura enveloped him.
Many people also had a faint green glow on them.
But there are also many people who don't have any reaction.
For example, Roland, Andonara, and most of the magicians.
Their 'resistance to magic' is higher than that of Luo, and they are exempt from polygraph spells by large groups.
Any spell has a 'strength', and as long as your resistance to magic is higher than that, the magic will not work on you.
The legendary mage had expected this, and he asked condescendingly, "Are you murderers?" ”
None of the people with the green light on them answered 'no'.
None of the light on a single person changed color.
If a person with a green light tells a lie, then the light will turn blood red.
The legendary mage made a gesture, and the black-robed guards surrounding the square opened an opening.
The legendary mage said, "Friends with green light can leave." ”
These people account for about one-third of the total number of people in the entire square.
When these people were finished, the legendary mage flew a little lower, and there was a slight grim smile on his old face: "Please gather the rest of your friends and stand closer." ”
After the crowd gathered, another green halo came down.
This time, the range of the green aura is much smaller, but the light is much brighter.
The smaller the range of influence of the same value of 'energy', the greater its intensity.
This time, a third of them were shining brightly.
The legendary mage asked the same question again and let the group go.
Then he focused the rest of the group, and he cast a smaller polygraph.
Ask the same questions and let people go.
After doing the same step three more times, there were only about twenty people left in the square.
Roland and Andonara are among them.
The legendary mage flew even lower, and on the pale gray magic robe, there were faint white magic lines fading brighter and darker.
"The murderers stand up for themselves, and don't waste each other's time anymore."
The legendary mage's gaze swept over the two dozen or so people, and finally landed on Andonara for three seconds.
The rest, with the exception of Andonara, who had a sword, were all magicians.
So Andonara, at least on the surface, is the most suspicious.
But soon the legendary mage looked away, and he knew very well that no one was suspicious until there was full evidence.
If the murderer dares to assassinate, he must be prepared to try to clear the suspicion, and sometimes those who seem to be very suspicious are actually good people.
The legendary mage fell to the ground, and he shook his head helplessly: "It seems that you will not give up until the end." ”
He waved his hand, and the blinding circle of light began to glow green again from under the hood, this time with the help of almost everyone, except Roland and Andonara.
The legendary mage looked at Roland with some surprise, and then at Andonara.
After hesitating for a while, he asked the person next to him, "Which of you is the murderer?" ”
"It's not."
"I'm not."
After the more than 20 people answered, there was still no green light on their bodies.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Roland and Andonara.
There were also three legendary mages floating in the air, and they also slowly descended, surrounding Roland and Andonara in a front and back direction.
Two of them were the mentors of the Red Magic Tower, and they recognized Roland and Andonara, and their eyes were a little more suspicious.
Because they felt that Roland could not have done such a thing.
After all, Roland was brought by them.
The legendary mage who had cast the lie detector slowly walked up to Roland and Andonara.
His expression was a little dark, and his tone was solemn: "Both, don't you introduce yourself?" ”
"Red Magic Tower Student, Roland."
"Roland's woman, Andonara."
The legendary mage nodded undeniably, and then he opened his mental power, and after half a second, his spiritual power was withdrawn, and his expression looked a little painful.
Because he suffered a little loss on Andonara.
Andonara has now awakened the bloodline of the brave, and has her own 'mental countermeasures' specialty, and most of the negative spiritual power and spiritual magic cannot act on her.
The mage's mental tentacles are essentially a special application of spiritual magic, and it is normal for them to be countered.
However, even after being countered, the legendary mage still figured out the strength of the two, he put his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "It's really interesting, a legendary-level warrior is actually willing to be a magician woman who has not yet reached the master?" Are you insulting my IQ, or are you insulting your own? ”
Generally speaking, as long as you reach the legendary level, you are the guest of all forces.
A superpower as strong as the Frans Empire is also a legendary powerhouse, as long as you come, good wine and good meat will be served.
And this legendary warrior is so beautiful that he has no problem marrying the king, and he can look at a magic student who has not even reached the master.
There must be something strange in this.
Roland said calmly: "I can only say that Your Excellency is thinking too much, things are as simple as they seem, she is my woman." ”
Just as the legendary mage sneered and was about to speak, a mentor of the Red Magic Tower stood up and said, "Teldo, he is indeed a student of our Red Magic Tower, and this Lady Andonara is indeed his woman. He was brought here from the Red Magic Tower to see the world, and the assassins couldn't have been the two of them. ”
The legendary mage named Terdo turned his head: "Wait, Roland of the Red Magic Tower? Do I remember the name, oil-making, water-making? ”
The mentor nodded.
The legendary mage sighed, then waved his hand and said, "Then it shouldn't be him, the assassin seems to have left the Magic Association, I'll go and inform the city guards to seal the city." ”
With that, he removed the purple barrier and flew into the sky.
Andonara breathed a sigh of relief, and the half-unsheathed sword was retracted.
She didn't coax at all against two legendary mages, but four of them ...... It's a little harder.
Roland nodded his head in thanks to the mentor who had spoken out, and then his expression changed slightly.
When I opened the system interface, I found the task prompt.
Receive the mission: The Dormant in the Dark (1), find clues to the assassin, whose life is up to you. (Epic)
Epic quests? And numbered?
Consecutive missions?
Roland subconsciously took over the task.
It doesn't matter if you can't settle it alone, anyway, there is still the head snake Shuke here, and there will definitely be no problem to pull him up.
