Chapter 152: Undead Mentor Sandru
The abandoned mine camp already has some shadows of the later abandoned mine town.
The regions within Eternity change differently over time, most notably the Mines and Starter Villages.
In the beginning, a lot of ore could be excavated in the shallow or surface of the major mines.
When the player and the ore produced by the mine reach the limit of the mine's capacity, the mine will collapse, and the player will only see large pieces of masonry of little value in the shallow and superficial layers, and some ores that can be mined on the surface or in the shallow depths of the mine will need to be mined in the depths of the mine.
The limit of a mine is that it becomes a pit from the mine, and there is often a dungeon or a road to the underground world in the depths of a pit.
The changes in the Newbie Village are similar.
Once the NPCs in the Starter Zone have collected enough supplies, they will renovate new buildings and expand the scope of the camp, gradually upgrading the camp to a district, village, or town.
The increasingly rich novice area attracts the attention of bandits, goblins and ogres often harass the surrounding area, and kobolds pop up in the sewers.
Correspondingly, NPCs will also launch a series of quests to hire players to crusade against these monsters that interfere with their lives.
Not only the Starter Village, but also other large quest release points will undergo similar changes.
In short, everything inside Eternity is no different from the outside world.
Lin Ling strolled through the camp, relying on the concealment of the invisibility technique, he was not worried about being seen through by other players.
A level 19 arcane mage will inevitably be watched in public.
The professional mentor who had two unpleasant cooperation experiences with him still stood in the position of Lin Ling's memory, teaching the players worthless low-level magic in a dignified manner, and also assigning a few players to do some trivial tasks from time to time.
Mage is a weak class on the League of Legends side.
Although in theory, the mage of the League of Legends side is the most perfect class in theory, just like the mage of the Eternal Night Council side and the underworld side.
However, the gap between the three in terms of talent and expertise makes most of the mages on the League of Legends side can only stay in the realm of theoretical invincibility - that is, the realm of unparalleled mouth cannons.
Lin Ling didn't wait a few minutes for the players who had come to find a career mentor to learn free magic and scattered. He lifted his invisibility in front of the Career Mentor, holding the stolen prophecy crystal ball in his palm and handing it to the Career Mentor.
"That's right, that's it, you always bring me unexpected surprises, Zero!"
The Career Mentor was ecstatic to accept the prophecy crystal ball, his eyes greedily caressing the surface of the crystal ball, and an ethereal figure appeared from the crystal ball, showing a hideous smile at him.
"Graudis, King of Ghouls, you think your power can penetrate the crystal ball?" The professional mentor broke through the vague figure's true face, he snorted coldly, covered the prophecy crystal ball with a piece of velvet and put it into a wide sleeved robe, and then looked at Lin Ling, "I must thank you for retrieving the prophecy crystal ball for me, as long as there is this, then I am the real master...... A real ......"
System Prompt: The career mentor has changed.
"I am the true master, the only one!"
An evil murmur accompanied by cold air came out of the career mentor's mouth and nose, and Lin Ling took a few steps back, looking at the career mentor vigilantly.
This time, could it be that Ghoul King Glaudis is playing tricks again?
"I have to thank you, Arcane Mage!"
A large puddle of flesh exploded on the surface of the career mentor's body, and was then repaired by the dark glow. Pale bone armor grew from his body, and the skeleton formed a shoulder pad that encircled his thin shoulders, and then turned into a knee pad covering his knees. His eyes flashed with a red glow, and his black hair instantly covered with a gray shadow, fluttering behind his head with the sudden wind.
Sandru, the undead mentor; The Pale Lord.
"You've regained my strength." The undead mentor Sandru showed Lin Ling a self-righteous smile, if he didn't smile at it, it could be regarded as a friendly expression.
Lin Ling didn't speak, the Pale Lord was the highest-level existence of the necromancer, an existence more powerful than the lich, and belonged to the same class as the archmage.
"The Prophecy Crystal Ball is my lifebox, Arcane Mage. Graudis thought he could command me by stealing my life box from the Magic Guild, and it almost succeeded, but you shattered its pretensions with your actions, Arcane Mage. The undead mentor Sandru took out a talisman and handed it to Lin Ling, "This is the most suitable reward for you, forget those magic books I once promised you." ”
System Prompt: You have completed the task of a real master; Gain 1500 experience;
You've got Sandru's amulet.
Amulet: Sandru's amulet;
Tied to zero;
+220 Armor;
Position: Ornament;
Quality: Silver;
What it does: Dispels all movement-limiting effects and all effects that cause the character to become uncontrollable.
Use interval: 120 seconds.
Notes: A shield-sized amulet with the words XCOM Shield-784 prototype written on the inside of the amulet.
Lin Ling equipped the talisman on his body, and when he held it in his hand, the talisman was the size of a shield, and immediately shrunk into a blurred ghostly light, surrounding him.
"I'm going to restore the power of the past, arcane mage." The Undead Mentor Sandru said to Lin Ling, "Princess Ildrine, the leader of the Badlock Fortress...... I mean, the prince has always wanted my help, and I hope to have your help in the future. ”
"Princess Ildrine?"
Lin Ling remembered that the leader of the Badlock Fortress was Prince Ildrin, when did another Princess Ildrin appear? Could it be that the NPC has a transvestite?
"Goodbye, Arcane Mage."
The undead mentor Sandru didn't answer Lin Ling's question, he opened a portal and disappeared into the abandoned mine camp.
"Huh?"
A reckless newcomer suddenly broke into the area where the career mentor was located, she looked at Lin Ling who was standing in place stupidly, and asked a little naturally, "Why is the career mentor a player?" ”
"The old wizards in the camp will also teach you mage magic."
Lin Ling looked at the newcomer with a smile.
"Oh!" The newcomer stepped back, then poked his head in and asked suspiciously, "You're really not an NPC?" ”
Whether this was intentional or unintentional, Lin Ling had to admit that she had successfully left a deep impression on her heart.
He sent a friend request to the newcomer.
"Zero?" The newcomer looked at Lin Ling in a daze, "It's really a player." ”
System Prompt: Player Qiu Qingmeng has become your friend.
Autumn dreams? Is she Qiu Qingmeng?
Lin Ling was slightly stunned, Qiu Qingmeng was the mage player who announced the "mage talent" in the previous life, her character ID is exactly the same as her name, and her personality is a little confused, but the strength and personality in her hands are completely opposite, it is said that as soon as she enters the combat state, she will become extremely aggressive, and there is no confusion at all on weekdays.
Lin Ling didn't expect that he would meet a celebrity he needed to look up to in his previous life if he handed in a random task, he rummaged through his backpack, took out the bronze quality staff that he had won in the battle of the iron-armored tyrannosaurus, and gave it to Qiu Qingmeng: "Count us fate." ”
"What a beautiful staff, is this really for me?" Qiu Qingmeng looked at the slightly slender staff in surprise, Lin Ling nodded, he left the staff precisely because it had a unique and pleasing appearance.
The colorful staff like candy on crutches, no one won't think it's a little special, right?
"Of course."
Lin Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with giving this staff to Qiu Qingmeng, thanks to her blessing, he would get the specialty of mage talent, and he would have such a smooth start now, what is a magic staff? Even if Qiu Qingmeng asked for a piece of equipment, he would make it up for her.
It's not like he wants to be a bad guy.
It's just to reduce the amount of kindness in his heart that the person doesn't know and he won't say.
He repays the favor on this side, and at the same time he is gracious to the other party.
In the previous life, everyone knew that Qiu Qingmeng was good at solving all kinds of extremely difficult tasks, and if such a person didn't take care of it, it would be blind to his dog eyes.
Lin Ling didn't stay long in the abandoned mine camp and went to Canyon Village.
The road leading from the abandoned mine camp to Canyon Village is still occupied by the Hellenstein Castle rebels, but the main road is filled with Swan Castle rebel riders and mercenary swordsmen, and the hounds led by the mercenary swordsmen are extremely sensitive to smells and footsteps, and several Rhine scouts are caught by the hounds as soon as they get close.
Seeing the Rhine scout, Lin Ling understood that someone had triggered the reconnaissance mission of Canyon Village after all.
"Scouting: Canyon Village" is a hidden quest that triggers a prerequisite of level 20, and there are still only ??? people who have exceeded level 20 on the current leaderboard The rest of the players who occupy the top ten or even the top twenty of the level list are hovering at level 19, and those players who are a few times higher than Lin Ling have reached 99% of the total experience points of level 19:, which should have touched the second-order level barrier that was forcibly triggered, and they are carrying out the task of unlocking the experience bar.
The second-order mandatory task of upgrading from level 19 to level 20 is different from the first-order mandatory task of upgrading from level 9 to level 10.
The first order of mandatory tasks is all limited to professional tasks.
The second-order mandatory quests are from the perspective of the faction forces, requiring players to complete some low-level quests that no one has been able to trigger so far to promote the construction of a certain place or the development of the plot of a certain place, the former costs a lot of money to buy materials, and the latter is purely time-burning.
This is also the reason why Lin Ling is not in a hurry to hit level 20, he doesn't want to fall into the compulsory task, the reward of the second-order compulsory task may not be as good as the equipment on his current body. He observed the situation around him, chose a deserted mountain forest, cast arachnism on himself, and climbed up the steep mountain wall step by step.
The levels set up by the rebels in Swanstein Castle can't stop him!
After climbing the mountain wall, Lin Ling flew over a cliff with his flame wings and landed in the mountain forest behind Canyon Village.
The mountains and forests behind Canyon Village were very different from the scene he had seen for the first time.
A group of enslaved slave laborers cut down the woods and built roads under the supervision of the Stewanstein Castle rebels.
Huge steel golems were parked on both sides of the road, and the Cyanistein Castle rebels' curiosities replaced the steel golems with energy crystals, and the gantry cranes made of wood slowly moved along the rails under the traction of mules and horses, attaching mana guns to the shoulders of the steel golems.
Similar scenes can be seen everywhere in the mountains behind the entire canyon village.
The Stewanstein Castle rebels seem to be plotting an attack on a certain place.
This place certainly won't be Canyon Village.
But for Canyon Village, this is an opportunity to break away from the control of the Stewanstein Castle rebels.
