Chapter 30. Bloodstone magic surfaced, and the dungeon process was clear
Li Weiji is very annoyed now.
Anyone is faced with a dilemma and can be annoying for anyone.
What's even more annoying is the untidy and messy game flow.
Lingbao's words almost overturned all of Li Weiji's previous judgments.
The Centaur Boss can be killed, which means that he is not a GM, and if he is not a GM, then there is no anomalous data for this quest.
The copy didn't show any abnormalities, but he couldn't figure it out, and the only possibility was that he didn't have enough information.
Why did Lingbao violate his identity?
Why did the Centaur Boss disappear from the map and reappear?
Why is Ishara a top target for the Centaurs?
Why does Cali have an instinctive rejection of Isara?
These four questions repeatedly hit Li Weiji's brain, giving him a headache.
Li Weiji looked at the little dwarf lying on his shoulder, and screamed for no reason to vent the sorrow in his heart.
The kind of sadness that yearns to be in order but is riddled with problems and can't struggle.
The people around were taken aback, and Li Yi and Kali spoke out at the same time: "Are you okay?" ”
A sullen breath in his chest exhaled, and Li Weiji looked back at the people behind him.
Cali, Lindell, Lydy, Leah, Alicia, Vico, and a few physically fit Seraphs, together there are only fifteen people, can these fifteen people really kill the Centaur Coach and rescue Ishara?
Li Weiji looked at Lingbao suspiciously, and Lingbao still smiled quietly.
"Lao Yi, follow me." Li Weiji gritted his teeth and left the crowd against Lingbao.
Li Yi took a few steps to catch up with him.
Under the huge oak tree, Li Weiji put the spirit treasure on the branch of the oak tree.
"Tell me, you see what's coming."
Lingbao picked out a small pebble from between his rough toes and said nonchalantly, "You are not from this world. ”
One sentence is heaven-shattering.
Li Weiji and Li Yi glanced at each other and didn't speak.
Lingbao also said: "All things have a place in eternal alchemy, and I am not surprised that you can possess other people, because I have also done relevant research, but unfortunately I have never succeeded. ”
After saying this, Lingbao sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to arrest you for research." ”
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to die."
Lingbao's words were inexplicable, and Li Weiji and Li Yi couldn't believe their ears.
Lingbao jumped from the branch to Li Weiji's shoulder, "I still think your shoulders are more comfortable, let me sit for a while before I die." By the way, what's your real name? ”
"Li Weiji."
"Unsuccessful?" Lingbao seemed to recall something, "I read these two words in an old book. It was followed by 'Hyung. The little fox is full of money, wet its tail, and there is no benefit. 'I don't know if I'm right?' ”
Li Weiji didn't expect the NPCs in the game to know the origin of their names, and nodded, "You're right. ”
Lingbao said, "I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, can you explain it to me?" ”
Li Weiji said: "Heng means smooth. The little fox is about to cross the river, and the tail of the fox is wet with water, and the meaning of no profit is unlucky. ”
Lingbao smiled bitterly and said, "What a contradiction. One will be smooth, and the other will be unlucky. ”
Li Yi also heard Li Weiji explain his name for the first time, and echoed: "Yes, isn't this a contradiction? ”
Li Weiji nodded and said, "I also feel very contradictory, but my parents have to take it like this, there is no way." I'm always unlucky, maybe it's just the wrong name. ”
Lingbao looked at the west and was distracted for a long time before he said, "My name is Lingbao." In the civilization of Asura, the meaning of these two words is healthy and strong, and I am very healthy and strong at the moment. ”
Li Weiji knew Lingbao's intention when he said this, a person who was about to die would always involuntarily want to leave some traces in this world.
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
Li Yi interjected: "Then my parents named me Yi, my life is easy everywhere, but it is very appropriate." ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lingbao sighed three times and said, "Li Weiji, you are the smartest person I have ever met. I can't know you, I don't live in vain, this world is not lonely after all. Now, I'm going to tell you everything. ”
"My name is Lingbao, the son of the descendants of the Inquisition. At the age of twelve, his parents were criticized for their research on dragon energy. Just as their experiments were progressing, the laboratory exploded and they lost their lives in flames. ”
"Since then, I've been ostracized and hated. But I don't care about the outside world's opinions, I'm smart, I think I'm the smartest in the world, smart people always disdain gossip, do you agree with me? ”
Li Weiji nodded.
"I inherited my parents' research and became a part of the interrogation team. In order to trace the root of the dragon's energy, I invented a dragon energy detector. It's definitely a Snaiff Prize-level invention. Lingbao did not forget to boast, "Using this instrument, I searched everywhere for traces of the dragon's energy, and finally came to this town. Remember that red stone? ”
Li Weiji looked at his palm, nodded and said, "Remember." Is this stone dragon energy? ”
Lingbao shook his head and said, "The stone is just a container for the dragon's energy. I want to start with the history of the planet and the history of humanity, and I try to keep it as simple as possible. ”
Legend has it that the continent of Tyria has a history of more than 11,000 years since its birth, but most of this ancient time has been surrounded by mysteries. The first life forms to emerge on top of Tyria were species known as the Elder Dragons, who spent most of their time asleep.
At some point in prehistory, creatures of great power, knowledge, and magic began to descend and inhabit the land. In the religion of mankind, they are known as the ancient gods and are also known as the six true gods.
Lingbao said: "I won't introduce the six true gods, time doesn't allow." ”
Li Weiji and Li Yi understood that this was a game to tell the backstory through Lingbao's mouth, so they had to let Lingbao continue.
In mythology, the six true gods created the world, shaped the earth, created plants and animals, and gave the breath of life to many different species. Some praise the Six True Gods as the guardians of Tyria, who have brought many beings to the world.
"Of course it's wrong." Lingbao sneered, "The only product that the Six True Gods have brought to this planet is humans. ”
Humans are not native to this planet, and from the dawn of time, humans have multiplied rapidly, conquering every land they see. They have a natural thirst for knowledge and technology, in addition to an irrepressible ambition. Humans see the world as something in their pockets, and they are constantly changing it to suit their desires. Soon, human cities began to reign over the land.
For the sake of the balance of the major races, in order to prevent the war of mankind from intensifying. The Six True Gods have created a miraculous gift that Abberton, the god of wisdom, has fairly bestowed upon all the races of the world: it is called elemental magic.
"Of course it's wrong." Lingbao scoffed again: "In fact, elemental magic is dragon energy. Human beings really like to put gold on their faces, and they worship the six true gods, so they attribute everything to the six true gods, so that they can also be glorified. The original intention of the six true gods to 'create' elemental magic is good. They hope that elemental magic can help beings in the struggle for survival, provide shelter to those in need, heal this difficult world, and make it more stable. ”
Speaking of this, Lingbao looked at Li Weiji: "You must have guessed the consequences, right?" ”
Li Weiji nodded.
Lingbao continued, "Elemental magic has become a deadly weapon, and this star has been ravaged by war and destruction. Magically savvy intelligent races are at loggerheads with each other. Warlords rose to prominence and conquered many territories, few of whom were spared the scourge of war, and many countries began to compete for supremacy. For some races, this is a good opportunity for revenge, and humans see themselves as far superior to their enemies. This new power of magic has led to the most devastating havoc, and some races have even been wiped out. ”
"In the end, the remnants of the human city were united by the efforts of King Doric. In desperation, Doric travels to the holy city of Yarra on the Orr Peninsula, where the gods reside. In Yara, Doric prayed to the gods and begged them to take back the gift of magic and make it a privilege exclusive to the gods. Without this feat, there would never have been a day of peace and tranquility for Tyria. ”
The Six True Gods agreed to the king's request. They took the magic from the various races and refined it into a spirit stone. This spirit stone was later split into five. Four of them represent the four factions of magic that protect, destroy, damage, and resist, with the last one being the cornerstone. Without this cornerstone, the remaining four Philosopher's Stones will never be able to reunite as one. Magic remains, but no one alone can control it completely. ”
"As a result of King Doric's request, he and his children and grandchildren will take on the task of protecting these Philosopher's Stones for generations. Doric sealed the five spirit stones with a drop of blood, so they are also known as 'Bloodstones'. Doric sank the Bloodstone into the depths of a volcano near the shores of the Kingdom of Korita. ”
When Li Weiji heard this, he interjected: "Those red stones are blood stones? ”
"It's just bloodstone dust. A shocking natural catastrophe has triggered a sea change. The volcano on the coast of Corita was used to seal the Bloodstone, but it erupted. The Bloodstone was thrown apart and projected onto the continent, and the magical power contained in the Bloodstone dust began to rapidly permeate everything it touched. The major races are crazy about it, and they can fight the sky for a little bloodstone dust. ”
Speaking of this, Lingbao's words changed: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
Li Weiji didn't seem to understand, and said hesitantly: "Isara has something to do with the Bloodstone?" ”
"Her heart is a bloodstone." Lingbao said, "It's also a coincidence that Isara is a child with premature heart failure, and she is facing death at birth. In order to save her granddaughter, Ini opens the heirloom left behind by Ash Whispering Wind, a bag of bloodstone dust. Ini didn't know what the red powder was, and she fed it to Isara. Bloodstone powder congealed in her heart, saving her life but also changing her body. ”
Hearing this, Li Weiji understood many things.
The reason why Isara is so ugly is entirely because Bloodstone has changed her appearance.
The centaur doesn't want Isara, but her Bloodstone heart.
Four unexplained questions, with eyebrows.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Li Weiji naturally will not miss the opportunity to ask for more information.
He said tentatively, "So, you are also attracted by her heart? ”
"Yes." Lingbao generously admitted, "Using the instrument to detect a huge energy fluctuation near the quagmire town, I used a little trick to establish the Lingbao Must Die Guild to find out the information. ”
"What information?"
"Bloodstone, of course."
"Don't you have instruments?"
"The energy in Isara's body is too strong, and my instrument is directly scrapped. Luckily, I have some research on dragon energy, and I know that all creatures affected by dragon energy will become ugly, so I need an organization to help me find out who is the ugliest in Mire. ”
Li Yi suddenly interjected: "I've seen a kind of grizzly bear with a faint red light on its claws, has it also been affected by bloodstone?" ”
Lingbao looked at Li Yi and said leisurely: "Yes." However, I'm curious, why are you also affected by Bloodstone? ”
Li Yi and Li Weiji were stunned.
Lingbao pointed to Li Yi's eyes and asked, "Don't you know yet?" Around your eye sockets, it's obvious that there is a bloodstone imprint. ”
Li Weiji explained: "This was accidentally encountered, and we didn't know anything about the bloodstone before. ”
Lingbao stretched his waist on Li Weiji's shoulder and said to Li Yi: "Your luck is really good. ”
Then Lingbao said, "Through the Lingbao Must Die Guild, I know Isara. When I saw Isara, I gave up on the idea of killing her for her heart. ”
"Why?"
Facing Li Weiji and Li Yi's questions in unison, Lingbao Snake's pupils tightened, and his face was extremely heavy: "She is too much like my mother." ”
This sentence was like a bomb, and Li Weiji and Li Yi showed expressions of surprise and understanding at the same time.
"I never thought it would be like this. Bloodstone can turn a human into a human being like our Asura. It just so happened that she was about the same height as my mom. Lingbao looked to the west again, "I'm so happy to see my mother again." ”
This is why Lingbao is desperate to protect Isara.
Li Weiji took a deep breath, licked his lips and said, "I understand." ”
Li Yi echoed: "I also understand. ”
Lingbao couldn't help but laugh: "You guys understand a fart. It is true that I gave up the idea of killing her because of her appearance, but I am willing to protect her to the death for more than that. After getting along with her, I realized that she was really a good child, she was not smart enough, but she always cared about people. I used to think that being smart was the best way to resist gossip, but after meeting her, I knew that someone who was kind to you was the best medicine against all harm. Do you agree with me? ”
Li Weiji and Li Yi had to nod, they had both been warmed by others and understood the greatness of this power.
Lingbao patted Li Weiji's head: "How does it feel to solve the doubts in your heart?" ”
"Cool. It's unpleasant again. Li Weiji pouted, "Solved a doubt, got more doubts." This is the sorrow of the wise, do you agree with me? ”
Lingbao laughed and said heartily: "Just ask." ”
Li Weiji can be regarded as waiting for this opportunity, he rolled up his sleeves and asked three questions in a row: "First, according to what you said, you should be the only one who knows the secret that Isara's heart is a bloodstone, why did the centaur get this information?" Second, why do you claim to be a spy for Asura and let me find out? Thirdly, what are your plans? ”
Lingbao nodded: "I knew you would ask that." Let's start with the first question, the secret that Isara's heart is a bloodstone was accidentally leaked by me. Two years ago, I discovered that there was a traitor among the Seraphs, and in order to ensure the safety of Isara, I secretly investigated the traitor, but I never found any evidence of it. Until...... Eleven days ago, Isara accidentally knocked over my petri dishes, you must know that these petri dishes are full of bloodstone creatures, I was worried that the bloodstone would be discovered by others, so I jumped into the rockfall to retrieve the seedlings in the petri dish, and I saw Lindeno and the centaurs secretly making a deal. I wanted to report this to the Seraph, but the thought of Lindell made me hold back. Lindell was also one of the few good people, and I couldn't bear to let her know such a cruel truth. ”
Li Yi said: "I didn't expect you to have a good heart." ”
Lingbao said: "Of course I will repay those who are good to me." You are the same, aren't you? ”
Li Yi stopped talking, and Lingbao continued: "After learning that Lin Denuo was a traitor, I followed him to the centaur base camp, but he always knew that I was following him. I was surrounded by them, and in my panic, I lost the Bloodstone research manual I had with me. They just know from my manual that the ugliest man in Quagmire has Bloodstone on him, but I didn't put Isara's name on it, and they didn't have a definite goal. In order to retrieve the manual, I infiltrated the centaur base camp several times, and more or less discovered their plan to slaughter the village. I stole their battle charts, but I couldn't decipher them. To be on the safe side, I used some means to ask for support from the City of Divine Blessings, and the Queen sent five hundred Seraphs and two commanders. ”
Hearing Lingbao say this, Li Weiji recalled a little, and many things before and after could be right.
Seeing that Li Weiji couldn't help nodding, Li Yi also nodded, pretending that he also understood.
Lingbao looked up at the sky and said, "In 50 minutes, it will be the dawn of the centaurs, they will worship the sun at that time, we are running out of time." ”
"In 50 minutes, the Seraph's army should arrive."
Lingbao said: "We can't completely count on the Seraphic army, we must rescue Ishara before the sacrifice. ”
Lingbao added, "I beg you. ”
can make Lingbao say the word, Li Weiji and Li Yi have no reason not to agree.
Seeing the two nodding, Lingbao said: "Since that's the case, I'll make a long story short about the second question." The first time Cali saw Isara, he instinctively wanted to kill her, as Cali couldn't resist the attraction of Bloodstone. In order to stop the fight between the two, you quietly hid Isara. I know where you're going to hide her, and I think it's a perfectly safe place. So I thought I could get out of it if I was so successful, so I made up the lie that the Asura's spy was a spy, and you won't give up. I'll give you a little bit of information about the Chamber of Secrets, and you've solved the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets. You've set a clever password, and you're confident in it. Self-confidence makes it easy to be complacent, and complacency makes it easy to be careless. If you were careless, I would have been locked up in the secret room by you. ”
These words made Li Wei's face red.
"After you evacuate the refugees and take Cali and them away, I will escape from the chamber and prepare to return to Ratasom. Before I went home, I wanted to see Isara again, but when I got to the secret base, it was empty. ”
"I originally wanted to use the locator to find her whereabouts, but the energy in her body was too strong for me to locate." Lingbao clenched his fists and said, "In a hurry, I have no choice but to pin my hopes on the two of you." It's not easy to find you two, I've been running around the quagmire and never finding your whereabouts, instead I've seen the centaurs capture Isara. Knowing her whereabouts made me feel a lot more relieved. In order to save her, I had to fabricate false information and trick Cali out. Unexpectedly, the two of you also appeared. Sure enough, all things have a place in eternal alchemy. ”
Li Weiji had to admire the game's grasp of the process of the dungeon, and the plot that had clearly entered a dead end suddenly opened up and dissipated, and there was a clear direction.
Except for why the centaur boss disappeared for no reason, the other three unexplained questions had reasonable answers, and his heart was more relaxed than ever.
Li Weiji's eyebrows stretched: "Tell me about your plan."
Lingbao took out a map, and Li Weiji saw that it was a secret river distribution map, and this map was more detailed than the map in his hand.
Lingbao also ignored Li Weiji's stunnedness, and directly traced the route on the map, explaining his plan.
After a while, Lingbao put away the map and asked, "Can I speak clearly?"
The two nodded in unison.
Lingbao climbed down Li Weiji's shoulders and walked step by step towards the ultimate route he had set for himself.
Be generous and righteous and die calmly.
