Two days passed, and Zaix was never seen again.

In the past two days, Mu Yan has learned a lot of things from Sulia, such as what she has done in the past four years, where she has gone, and has inquired about the relationship between the Edwards family and the royal family.

He believes more and more in the "royal forced marriage theory", because whenever the royal family is mentioned, the girl always frowns, and her tone is full of unspeakable helplessness. The four-year mercenary career doesn't seem to have strengthened her sense of precaution much, or is it that Mu Yan's affinity is too strong? In short, in front of him, Surya talked about almost everything except for too sensitive topics.

What he didn't know was that the source of Surya's love was that confession.

At first, the kind-hearted girl just felt that the two were destined not to be together, so she wanted to keep the other from being hurt as much as possible. But slowly, she found that the young man in front of her, who claimed to be a scholar, was surprisingly compatible with herself. It's a strange feeling that is far below "love at first sight" but very much in line with "long-standing friendship".

The conversation went on very smoothly, and the other party always found a topic that made him unable to stop. And when she talked about her adventurous life, the other party's attentive expression made her want to talk greatly. Ever since I was a child, my strict grandfather, my busy father, my respectful subordinates, the nobles with their own evil intentions, or the mercenaries I met later, no one ever showed such patience, they were all out of affection, fear, or politeness. And even if he occasionally gets stuck in the process of telling, the other party can always tacitly understand his meaning and supplement the expression, and the two are like friends who have been friends for many years.

She had never had such a pleasant chat, and the other person seemed to know everything about her, but always kept restraint and politeness and didn't say a word. The most important thing is that she is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and understands that the topic of the two is so high because of the other party's bottomless knowledge reserves, and it is his knowledge that covers his own experience, not really destined, as written in the knight's novel, and has a heart or something.

So she became more and more curious about Mu Yan. Why had such a wise and learned man never heard of it before?

-------------------

At noon that day, it was not the skeleton that came to deliver the food, but Zayx himself.

After two days of thinking, the future Lich Lord finally made a decision - in his words, his mood finally improved.

Seeing his figure, Mu Yan subconsciously stepped forward and blocked in front of Suria.

"Lord Zayx." He leaned down respectfully, just as he had said in the past few days.

Zayx glanced at him with some relief.

"In fact, these two days are also a test of your heart, like the kind of person who has been locked up for a few days and cries wolf, and it is not enough to use it as a material."

A hairless Wind Sword Hero innocently lay down with a gun.

"Now that you've passed the first test, come with me." With that, Zayx took him out.

"Oh, by the way, you're the granddaughter of the Rhine, right?" It was as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Surya nodded inexplicably.

"Very good, then I will take your soul."

"What!?"

"Wait—"

Mu Yan had been wary of his hand, and hurriedly opened his arms to block in front of Suria.

Zaix wasn't joking, his slender right index finger was filled with a cloud of turquoise light, and a close look could reveal the condensed and then decaying air mass in it.

This light could stop two centimeters in front of Mu Yan's forehead.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"I ...... I don't know, you asked me to think of one on the spot? ”

Mu Yan's honest answer made the mage laugh.

"Okay, give you ten seconds."

“…… I don't know if this reason is sufficient, it may sound a bit naïve......"

"Seven seconds."

Mu Yan's face flushed, and he took a deep breath.

"Five seconds."

"I'm sure you can understand ...... adults"

"Three seconds."

“…… Because this is the most unfair and purest emotion in the world. ”

"For a second."

"Because I love her!"

"It's time."

With a flick of his fingers, the green light turned around and flew over grabbing Mu Yan's hair.

The "bang" sound is like a champagne cork.

Still is...... Failed?

Mu Yan seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he turned around in despair.

However, the imaginary scene did not happen. The green light hit the iron door, corroding a large hole, and Suria, who was not a little frightened, also stared at him in amazement.

"I'll go to the study first, you know the way, bring her with you."

Throwing down this sentence, the white light flashed, and Zaix disappeared.

Mu Yan clearly heard a narrow smile from this sentence, and he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The play was not in vain, and the person was saved, maybe his reputation in Zayx was much higher - the other party really has a great affection for people who dare to give everything for love.

This tsundere mage didn't intend to make a move on Surya from the beginning, he was still too inexperienced in combat, and he didn't carefully distinguish whether the green light just now was a "soul scythe" or a "corrosive technique", and after hearing the familiar sound of a hit, he really thought that something had happened to Surya.

It's just that the atmosphere seems to be a little awkward now......

"It's fine."

"I'm sorry."

They both spoke at the same time, and then laughed in unison.

"I mean, it doesn't matter."

"You're a good guy."

Although he spoke at the same time, Mu Yan obviously didn't expect to suddenly receive a good person card, and he didn't react at half a ring.

"Uh...... Let's go, then. ”

"Hmm."

-------------------

"Sit."

Leaning comfortably on the sofa, Zayx beckoned two nanmu chairs painted black and upholstered in red.

At the same time, the teapot and water cup also deftly flew between the two of them, pouring water and making tea in one go.

"Don't be so inhibited, it's like you're in your own home."

Mu Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart, who would build it under the mine, and there were strange instruments piled up everywhere, as well as cells and morgues......

On the contrary, Surya was more open, she took a shallow sip of tea, and her face suddenly showed surprise.

"This is the soothing flower of Ashenvale?"

"Hehe, drank out?"

Zaix's pale face also showed a rather smug smile.

The evil capitalist rotten class, Mu Yan secretly said.

He did drink a lot of expensive tea leaves in the game, and even the leaves of the Tree of Eternity, which are said to be infused with the power of the gods, were fortunate enough to taste them. But that's not real after all, and most of the time, as a player, he focuses on what attributes and buffs this cup of tea can provide, and instead ignores the taste itself, so he can only watch the two of them pretend to be forced quietly.

“…… Tranquilizer has the benefit of refreshing the mind, and long-term use can also nourish the mind and improve perception. Although the effect is weak, it is not a mythical object such as the leaves of the legendary Eternal Tree. Zaix said with his teacup in his hand, and then changed to the point.

"Speaking of legends, this is the answer I want to tell you - I wonder if you have ever heard of the golden apple?"

Hearing this term, Mu Yan almost laughed.

There are 100,000 soft girl coins on the black market, and there are no gold apples on the market, how can he not know? This artifact is comparable to a real "golden" apple, because the price of pure gold at that time was about 400 yuan per gram, and it was almost 100,000 yuan to create a real golden apple close to 200 grams.

As mentioned earlier, becoming a mage in the game is a double difficulty, but there are always people who don't believe in evil, feel that they can endure hardships and become human beings, regard the account as a child, and want him to win at the starting line as soon as he is born, so he improves the initial intelligence of the character in various ways.

There are two common ways to do this, first, to create new characters all the time.

The retail price of an account card in "Dusk Era" is 599 yuan, and it allows you to create three new characters. Someone has calculated that an average of 300 attempts can randomly come up with a double-digit character with initial intelligence, that is to say, you can buy 100 cards, and calculate the process of completing account binding - character creation - role deletion (repeat three times) - account unbinding in half an hour, and there is a high probability of getting a high-quality account that can become a mage without eating or drinking for two days and two nights. To sum up, the average cost is two days of sleepless and 60,000 oceans.

The second is the legendary golden apple.

The first golden apple in the player's hand was born in the Year of the Sparkling Flowers.

At that time, the average level of players was around 50, and a little mage in his thirties called Beiying went to Araki Village to make a group to spend (this term will be explained at the end of the article). The head of the regiment was distressed by the teleportation cost of a large number of people, so he decided to cross the Ashen Valley and the Twilight Plains to the entrance of the dungeon. This act of death caused them to encounter a level 55 field leader, the Steel-Bone Great Ape, at the junction of the two places.

Generally, such a powerful leader is to be dealt with by a hundred-person group, and it is not enough for them to temporarily gather together to crush the low-level copy of the twenty-person miscellaneous fish group, and the result can be imagined, except for the trembling boss of the group, the others were quickly slaughtered by this angry giant beast, and for a time the corpses were all over the field, and there were mosaics all over the ground.

After taking care of most of the enemies, the Behemoth rightfully steps to the back of the weakest survivor. The frightened mage who was about to become incontinent closed his eyes and cast a familiar spell - Earth Thrust. This skill is a pointed stone pillar drilled out of the ground, the length and sharpness of which vary depending on the skill, so it is also nicknamed the Great Law of Destroying Chrysanthemums by players.

But what I never expected was that the near-full-level ground thrust in the back accurately hit the backyard of the steel-bone giant ape, and it was unimpeded, smashing the yellow dragon. The most delicate parts of the ape-like beast, covered in thick fur and with a bare monkey buttocks, were mercilessly pierced, and the burning sensation and sharp pain from the soul made it lose its mind and run around in a frenzy.

The Grey Valley is rugged and elevated, while the Twilight Plains are flat and relatively low, and the confluence of the two places is mostly precipice, and the road through it is just such a small path, so the crazy beast accidentally stepped on the air and fell.

The development of events stunned the people who were lying on the ground calling for their friends and pastors to pick up the corpses, and everyone exclaimed, "And this kind of operation"? However, what followed was the surprise.

The behemoth fell off a cliff, and the corpse could not be picked up, but the experience was given to everyone. Because the kill is counted on the back head, everyone has typed on the team channel to ask him to post whether there are any special achievements or something. The upright little mage was silent for a long time, and then turned on the team's voice and said, "Oh mom, I'm so good."

Then post out something.

“

Golden Apple of Tenacity (Unbound): Mia's reward for warriors who dare to challenge the impossible.

Effect: If the initial intelligence is below 12, it becomes 12. If it exceeds 12, it will add 3 points to the maximum of 16.

Special Skill Grant: "Resilient Will": Passive, permanently reduces damage taken by 5%. Active use, cannot be interrupted or interfered with for 30 seconds, cooldown: 1 hour.

Evaluation: Don't give up the courage to challenge everything because of the cowardice in your heart.

”

Three minutes later, the news exploded like an atomic bomb in the game's discussion board, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Everyone is full of jealousy and suspicion about this matter, jealous of why such shit luck does not fall on their heads, and doubts about whether such a prop is unfair, because the word "unbound" means that this can be traded, and being able to trade means that rich people can do whatever they want.

The official did not come forward to explain this, Mu Yan felt that it was too lazy to explain, because Villefort is a famous resort company, and the employees have much longer vacations than other companies.

Later, the turmoil gradually subsided, but the legend of the golden apple has been circulating on the forum, and more well-informed people said that there are studios that have mastered the method of mass production of golden apples, and will soon create a mature assembly line to serve the majority of local tyrants.

Later, as the rumors said, there were a few sky-high golden apples on the market, and several regiment leaders Mu Yan knew also became the first batch of legendary mages through this method.

Mu Yan also thought about the source of this prop, and judging from the description, it was to the effect that the weak challenger defeated the powerful monster and survived the desperate situation to obtain the goddess's reward. But it's easier said than done, how big is the gap between the two sides to be considered a desperate situation? Can I get it repeatedly? Do the granted skills stack? And the most important question, where to find a battle that meets so many conditions?

Thinking of Zaix's experience, combined with the origin of the golden apple, and the fact that he opened his mouth to mention it at this time......

Mu Yan seemed to have a hint of enlightenment.

"Looks like you do." Noticing the change in Mu Yan's expression, Zaix smiled.

"Legend has it that it was a gift from Goddess Mia, and only the bravest and luckiest of mortals could get it......"

"Is it only available to humans?" Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.

Because of the language, players in the game can only choose humans at first, and only when they are proficient in the language of a certain race, they can change the race and start all over again. This also leads to the fact that most hardcore players who believe that "time is money" cannot waste so much time changing races, and basically the vast majority of masters are human.

"Of course, only humans. And—"

Is there any reliable record? Is the news true? He couldn't help but ask again.

The problems of scholars seeking truth and pragmatism are fully revealed.

Zayx's facial muscles twitched unnaturally and replied stiffly, "No." ”

"Then how did you know about ......" Mu Yan was halfway through speaking, feeling that someone was tugging at his clothes, and when he turned his head, he saw Surya glaring at him.

He looked back at Zaix.

"What, is there a problem?"

The mage asked coldly.

Mu Yan swallowed. "I didn't ...... No problem. ”

The mage snorted, glanced at him, and prepared to speak again.

However, the two waited for a long time and didn't wait for the following, but the other party's face was a little unbearable in this strange atmosphere.

“…… Where have I gotten to? ”

"Hahaha......"

Mu Yan couldn't hold back any longer.
