In contrast to the mystical Word Keeper Kanros, or the female Elemental Lord Ikali, the Soul Shaper Patunax appears as a king in various texts. Intelligent beings regard them as the creators of living beings, believing that they are the ones who shape all kinds of living beings.

As the opposite of life, Alduin plays the role of destroying the world, and almost everyone thinks that he is an immature white-eyed wolf.

But this time, Mu Yan heard a completely different story.

The protagonists of the story are a pair of brothers, and the younger brother was shaped by the elder brother with half of his own flesh and soul, so he has special respect for the elder brother.

My brother has two friends, a man and a girl. The woman has a straight face all day long, as if she doesn't like anyone, and she quarrels with the man from time to time. The man laughs all day long, and likes to tinker with strange things, and his younger brother likes him very much, and listens to him the most except his brother.

After some time, the younger brother found that the three men were busy with their own affairs every day, and only he did not know what to do, and he had nothing to do all day, so he flew around in the sky with his brother's creation to pass the time.

He saw that there were many small creatures on the ground, they were very weak, and they would pay casualties against wild beasts, let alone magical beasts. But he is different, he can make those demonic beasts obedient with a roar, and he doesn't even have the courage to escape, so he takes the initiative to help these creatures drive away the demonic beasts, and even sends the paralyzed beasts to them.

At first, the creatures were afraid of him, even attacking him with rudimentary tools. But over time, they not only accepted him, but also carved him out of stone and placed it in the center of the village, whether a child was born or an old man was about to die, the stone was touched. In addition, a portion of the pitiful rations were divided into an attempt to pay him tribute.

Although he thought this behavior was stupid, he gladly accepted it, after all, it was the only little spice in his boring life.

Over time, he felt a warm force emanating from these creatures, pouring into his body, making his claws sharper, his scales smoother, and his mind nimble than before.

He was very excited and told his brother about the phenomenon, but a disaster came.

The elder brother and his friends studied this power and finally came to the conclusion that it could not be used. The woman, having failed to reach a conclusion on her creation, pointed the finger at him, insisting that she could find an answer in him.

He began to panic, he had seen how women treated their creations, and he was afraid that he would end up like that. But the elder brother did not refuse as he thought, but leaned over with a hint of greed and eagerness in his eyes.

Although he has half the strength from his brother, he is far from being an opponent in battle. So the result can be imagined, not only was he tied up, but he was also dissected like a beast caught by those weak creatures, and if it weren't for the guy who smiled all day and couldn't stand it and saved him, he would have died long ago.

After gaining his freedom, he devoured almost all of his creations in order to avenge his brother, and the two fought on a magic web, causing an earthquake and tsunami that nearly destroyed Lokan, but the weak creatures who worshipped him misunderstood the identity of the brothers, regarded him as an enemy, and dubbed him the "Destroyer of the World".

Then, in order to avoid the pursuit, he hid in another world.

……

After hearing this, Mu Yan understood why the other party said that he might not necessarily believe it.

The gap between this Nima and the Oduin in his mind is too big, right!? A well-behaved and obedient Oodoudou? Pull it down, he'd rather believe that this is a bear kid's cover for his own bad deeds.

As if sensing his suspicions, Alduin sent a few wisps of gray smoke from his chest, forming several silhouettes the size of a dragon's fist in the air.

Mu Yan suddenly felt extremely familiar, because from the form of the soul, he could roughly judge that he had seen all these dragons......

Aoda Weiying, the red flame dragon of the Sulphur Fire Wasteland, is the only way to obtain full fire resistance materials in the wild in the game. In the late '70s, everyone got tired of Leorik's Fallen Palace, and the materials obtained from this dragon were a great help to open up the barren Gardon's series of flaming copies. So at the request of charcoal-grilled ribs, he checked the information and found the weakness of the dragon.

Unlike normal dragons, Aodaweiying's weakness is not in the scales, and attacking the scales will not cause him to fall to the ground. Aerial shackling with deer tendons from Eagle's Nest and ballista from elves is required to force the poorly balanced dragon to land, and then have the melee high agility class kill around the butt.

Mu Yan also found out this after checking the information for a long time, but the strange thing is that the information shows that this dragon was caught in a similar way by the lord of Snow Man City in a similar way, and cut off the dragon's head and hung it in the castle, hence the name Longxiao Palace......

The second Duneville is similar, it is a poisonous dragon refreshed in the Dusk Swamp after 30 years of Dusk, the scales have turned yellow-green due to the poison and swamp gas, and the surrounding poisonous miasma needs the wind mage to continuously disperse melee to get closer, and the weakness is the fear of the necromancer's soul attack.

His weakness comes from the records of the fallen palace. One of Leoric's court necromancers claimed in the Codex that he had caught the dragon's soul while "fishing" in the River Styx, and although he failed to summon it, he managed to plant a curse called "Yellow Springs Tremble", so he had no resistance to soul attacks.

In other words, this is actually a dead dragon.

The third frost dragon, Korosa, refreshes in the Kadra Highlands near the Hogarth Snowfield. The dragon is even funnier, and the murals in the orc crypt depict the whole process of its ancestors using wolf smoke and incense to weaken the dragon and dismantle it in pieces......

Why did three dragons with different ways of dying suddenly appear? The official never gave an explanation, and players had to guess that the boss was not enough to make up the number and was pulled out to whip the corpse. But Mu Yan didn't think so, because as far as he knew, there were too many dragons with names and surnames, and there were not a few stories that were more interesting than these three, so there was no need for the official to take this risk.

Now it seems that there is a positive master.

……

"What you see is what you see in 'Twilight Era', they were already dead, but they were reborn because of me. In other words, they were created by me. Alduin said.

Mu Yan was surprised: "You mean that like the Soul Shaper, you also created in Luokan?" ”

Alduin shook his head.

"I mean the ones in the game."

Mu Yan frowned and thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand.

"I mean, the field bosses that you kill repeatedly in the game were created by me."

"What??" He almost thought he had misheard, and was dumbfounded, "What do you mean...... The Destroyer of Worlds is a coder on Earth? ”

Alduin clearly showed a look of wanting to curse, and held back a sentence of "Sarrua-Boncci" for a long time.

There are no curse words in the dragon language, because for dragons, there is no need to talk too much about things that can be solved with a mouthful of dragon breath. And the Naga language is similar to the English "don't eat sour radish" in scolding, which is very relieving.

“…… Con-Calma. [Naga: Calm down]" Mu Yan hurriedly reassured.

I have to say that there seems to be some kind of magic in this sentence, and Alduin really calmed down.

"Kanrosh saved me because I was able to use the power of faith. Unlike the other two, he was burdened with too much faith, and because of that misdirected speech, almost the entire human race in the Horse Plain regarded him as the Father God, and did not even know Mia. But this majestic force could not be combined with him, and it became a mountain that pressed on his back, making him almost out of breath.

"So he chose to save me, and commissioned me to use the power of faith to create a simple rule simulation system."

Hearing the phrase "rule simulation", Mu Yan perked up.

"It's a very complicated thing, and the more you get to know it, the more you feel that Kanrosh is erudite. It was as if after returning from the end of time, he was not very different from any of Mia's creations. ”

Alduin was a little distracted, the ghostly fire in his pupils flickering.

"He made a deal with me, and in exchange for saving my life, I manipulated the power of faith for him to build a 'system'. There is a set of guidelines in this system, like a voice that always exists in the individual's head, that can guide him step by step from an ordinary person to quickly reach his own limits and surpass them. At the same time, the body is scanned and fed back in real time at each stage, and then expressed in the form of data.

"I asked him why he did it, and he told me that feedback is an essential part of any intelligent being's life. For example, a swordsman thinks that he has limited talent, has made little progress, and has no future in sight, so he gives up. But as long as his physical fitness is presented in data, so that his small progress in each sword practice is converted into an intuitive increase in numbers, and then the inner satisfaction and sense of accomplishment will motivate him to maintain this motivation, and perseverance will undergo earth-shaking changes.

And the gap between people is often not as great as imagined, and many people are not even working hard enough to touch the constraints of their talents. And the strong are often strong in this kind of psychological adjustment, not innate talent.

"Compared with the Herus, the reason why the humans of Lokan have 'faith' is that, in addition to the stimulation of those elemental creatures and dragons, their own weakness is the main inducement. They can't see the future, so they hope for something ethereal. Kamrosh wanted to use the 'system' to help them get rid of their faith.

"At the same time, this is also against the laziness of the Herus. He said that the Heru people lived a comfortable life and did not pursue it, mainly because they were born too strong, but there was another reason that they did not know how to go step by step, and rashly chose the most difficult adventure life, and before they had time to reserve enough knowledge and understand the nature of this world, they crashed headlong on the River Styx, and then were bound by threats. He wants to give them the right guidance, from getting clues to assessing the difficulty, to overcoming difficulties, harvesting loot and summarizing lessons learned, etc., and gradually find the right way to explore the world.

"You should have heard it, this is the main part of "Dusk Era", the attributes and task system, and it is also the main content that I helped him complete."

Mu Yan blinked, as if he was trying to digest the big news.

That is to say...... On February 2, 2077, a large-scale MMORPG was launched on Earth, and the first holographic virtual fantasy epic game "Dusk Era" was written into the history of game development...... Is it made by a dragon? ”

"Mostly." Alduin nodded.

Mu Yan exclaimed: "What about Villefort? Is it your leather bag company that you use to hide people's eyes? But I know that company has been in business for almost 100 years......"

"Listen, human." Alduin interrupted him, explaining, "I know it's hard to believe, so I'll do my best to convince you."

"All I did was build a prototype of the system at Canlosh's behest, and then he did the further tweaking and choosing the time slot for the game to start. As an observer and a person who can travel freely through time, he has this ability.

"But he lied to me, he didn't say that it was just a test item, a 'backup' that he used to send to other worlds. I didn't know that until then he would have to create a backup like this every once in a while to send out of this world to see if he could turn the tide and rewrite the future. He needed a lot of elements for this, which was the main reason for his argument with Ikali, the woman felt that he was wasting resources, and Lokan needed 'sole authority' rather than needless 'freedom'.

"Not long after we completed the construction and adaptation of the 'rule simulation system' in Heru, my brother and Ikali chased after me, and by that time I had exhausted all my strength and could not resist at all, so I was coaxed by him to stuff myself into the system and survive as the only living form among them.

"So I was sent to the Blue Star – or Earth – along with the 'Rule Simulation System' with hope. By the time I woke up again, I was already bound by the rules. And that world is very different from what I created at the beginning, not only do there are thousands of spirit maids, or NPCs, but also many more 'Heavenly Descenders', or you 'players'.

"It's not me or the mechanics who can only act mechanically, but you 'players'. Time began in the year of the new leaves, a time that took place in the 'future' that I didn't know. And I was bound by the rules, so I could only hide in the Endless Sea, because even in the year of the new leaves, even the spirit maids, Patunax and Ikali would attack me like crazy. ”

Speaking of this, not only Alduin's tone was a little sad, but even Mu Yan couldn't help but sympathize with him.

If this is true, it is really miserable......

"Do you know why 'Twilight Era' only lasted six years before it ended? From what I've learned from the forums, this game has a lifespan of far more than six years for grabbing coins. He asked.

Mu Yan thought for a while and replied, "Because you can't stand this kind of life and choose to destroy that world?" ”

Alduin shook his head.

"Because there are too many 'mages' in that world."

"Huh!?" Mu Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Twilight Era" was once jokingly called "Mage Era" by players, but in the end, it was the mage who ruined the game?

Alduin continued:

"The world of "Twilight Era" seems to have been manipulated by Kanlosh, although the main body is the power of faith that constitutes the system, but the filler is two elements that are no different from Lokan, because everyone except me is a spiritual servant, so there is no problem of soul circulation. At the same time, the magic net created by Ikali to limit the development of humanity also exists, but this provides a certain degree of convenience.

"Going back to the game itself, every non-master player is gaining faith by completing the tasks of the spirit maid, or NPC, to gain gratitude, praise, admiration, etc. In other words, it's gaining experience. These Spiritual Servants have apparently been modified by Kanrosh and can be passed on to the player by absorbing the power of faith from the system, and the greatest effect of the power of faith is to strengthen the body, that is, to improve what you call the 'panel' and increase combat effectiveness. This is the growth system for characters to gain experience.

"But mages are different, they are a special group that is independent of the system.

"Attempts to mobilize the elements require a long list of spells and gestures, mistakes in the process can lead to a backlash of mana, and mage battles rely on formulas and elemental restraints, which makes the 'mage' grow in his own knowledge, rather than the spirit maid you call 'character'. The latter is just a bridge, and it is the mage himself who makes progress through continuous learning, not a bridge, and gaining experience to level up is just a further expansion of the mana capacity.

"Similarly, just as Lokan will give birth to legendary mages under the constraints of the magic web, the few mages in the Dusk Era are also approaching this limit step by step."

"That's the point of the level cap?" Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"No, there is no upper limit at all, it is a real world after all, and Ikali is only a spirit maid, how can it be restricted?" Alduin sneered: "And don't be fooled by those numbers, the constraints come from the magic net, but anyone who breaks this shackle can touch this limit regardless of level, but it's a pity that you humans are short-sighted, tens of millions of people have only touched it twice in six years, and they all quickly retreated." ”

"Twice?" Mu Yan recalled the strange stories about the mage in the game.

"You mean the performance of the Forest-Whisperer 'Shou' at the Fallen Palace?"

He's talking about the player's miraculous last-minute turnaround in clearing Leoric, pestering mobs at the same time, interfering with Necromantic Priest spellcasting, healing the last Windranger teammate, violating the public cooldown of spellcasting, and ignoring the Druid form switch to bring the team to victory. It was also this performance that allowed his Blood Legion to win Leorik's first kill, defeating the DNE Guild with Mu Yan's help.

"That's right. It occurred to me that the other one who almost got into trouble was also a Mori Whisperer, who was also an acquaintance of yours. Alduin smiled with what he thought was humorous, but in fact somewhat terrifying.

"You mean ...... 'wings'?"

Mu Yan immediately thought of this young man who regarded Shou as an idol and later successfully competed with him on the same stage.

If there's one thing he's similar to Shou, it's probably a fanatical obsession with the game, which he sees as a real world rather than a game.

But he remembered that Wings was just an ordinary druid...... It's not even a mage profession.

As if sensing his doubts, Alduin sneered, "You're being fooled by the numbers again. Do you think a card that randomly generates numbers and then assigns a Spiritual Maid determines whether or not you can follow the path of a mage? The essence of the system is psychological suggestion, what is the difference between those guys who have obtained the so-called mage role but can't cast a spell and ordinary people? In other words, even if you are not a mage, why can't a guy who still believes that he can control the elements succeed?

"Kanrosh deliberately put Mangaza's words into the game, how many people actually read it?" If you want to be a mage, even the most lame and stupid mage, as long as you are a mage', you self-proclaimed 'players' still hang it at the top of the forum, and it is a guideline, in my opinion, it is just for show. Humans are still as stupid as ever, and no matter how good a mage is, he will give up learning after seeing that the experience groove does not move, and instead become proficient in the spells he has mastered. It is you who really determine the level cap. ”

As a member of the human race, being so sarcastic by Alduin, Mu Yan couldn't find a trace of rebuttal.

Because that's the way it is, even though it's just a game, the human nature it reflects is universal.

There are very few people who can see the essence through appearances, and even fewer in games. After all, the game itself is a façade, and most people are immersed in the façade because they don't want to see the naked reality, right?

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then you said that there are too many 'mages'......"

"Every time a mage casts a spell, he puts a burden on the net, and having a burden means having a lifespan. Once the net collapses, Ikali, as a spirit maid, will not be able to repair it, and the world of Lokan will also collapse. Originally, according to the normal ratio of mages, that world could last for at least a few hundred years. But Kanrosh clearly underestimates human greed, and as the only legendary scholar, you should know something about how many mages there are in the game, right? Alduin asked.

Mu Yan nodded. He and his friends did a census and concluded that mages made up 10% of the population. Although this is far less than the proportion of "war thieves" who have three points in the world, it is ten times the normal proportion.

After all, the studio has worked tirelessly to test the probability of double digits in initial intelligence, which is nothing new in the early days of the server.

Mu Yan originally thought that it was official hunger marketing, but he didn't expect it to be at all now. Whether it is a game warehouse or a game helmet, it has the function of scanning the player's brain, which is not a difficult thing in 2077, and the reason why Kanrosh did not use scanning to determine whether the player can choose a mage is perhaps to protect the world, let it go longer, and get better feedback.

But he still overestimates human beings, blocking is never better than sparse, erecting a wall will only increase curiosity and increase costs, and will not solve the problem fundamentally.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the mage players he had seen in the game, and it seemed that each of them was the strong-willed ones left after the big waves, and perhaps it was indeed as Alduin said, it was they who grew up in the game, not those character cards.

"What do those mage players get from the game?" He asked.

An ugly smile erupted from Alduin's skeletal face.

"They became legends in the game, not their characters became legends. So what do you say, Your Excellency the Legendary Scholar Shamu? ”

Mu Yan was not amused by Alduin's humor, but felt a little sad.

There is no right or wrong in knowledge, but because of the different places, it suddenly turns from the most valuable treasure to worthless shit, and even its polymath is considered an outlier.

How sad.

He sighed softly, feeling glad and puzzled.

"Mr. Alduin, having said all this, what is your reason for sending me to Lokan and then to Heru?"

There is a small bug that I didn't expect before, that is, Alduin can go to the forum and consult the knowledge of the earth, so he surpasses everyone in the two worlds in terms of knowledge, which is unreasonable. So the forum of "Twilight Era" is embedded, and he can only browse this part of the content, like opening a small window, : Today's chapter has been liver for a long time, and it came a little late, 2: Tomorrow's class reunion, 3: The third volume of these two chats will be over after the day, but TMD is over, it's really written to me.
