Chapter 2: The Goblin (Part II)
With a tearing sound, Gotik's clothes fell off, revealing a bony body.
From his flat chest, he still looks like a man, but his lower body is as bare as his chest, without any male sexual characteristics, and there is no extra hair on his body except for hair......
At first glance, he looks like a drunken addict with a hollowed out body, but the difference is that he has a slender and slender body, rows of golden phosphorus powder stripes on the six-pack abs in the ribs and lower abdomen, and a perfect awl face that is so perfect that it is impossible to distinguish the gender, this person looks like a legendary goblin...... Still a goblin......
This face is not on par with Amatheby, the former is more seductive, while the latter is more masculine.
But the most exaggerated thing is that he has a pair of bells and whistles behind his back...... Butterfly wings......
Yellow stripes on a black background, and the gold and black swirl patterns on the tips of the left and right wings are like two eyeballs, exuding a breathtaking feeling......
It's a pair of wings that should have grown on the body of the yellow-veined piebald butterfly, and it's also the root cause of their phosphate powder being used as an illusion material.
After being stunned for a long time, Mu Yan swallowed his saliva.
He ...... No, it's ...... No, what the hell is going on? ”
"Alright, put it away."
Teacher Za threw Gotic a suit of clothes, and the latter fell respectfully to the ground, and then he changed back, put on his clothes, and returned to his original appearance.
But Mu Yan couldn't look at him anymore.
"I know you're going to hear the explanation, huh...... It's a long story. ”
Teacher Za waved his hand, and then white light enveloped the three of them, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a secret room in Seraf.
……
……
Although Mu Yan has a deep understanding of Zayx, he is limited to the "inner journey" and the content of Teacher Za's notes. Because he didn't have the ability to leave Morrowind Library until the beginning of the Dusk Era, he only knew a little about the early stages of the game, so he couldn't get to know the ins and outs of the first large team main story dungeon, the White Rock Mine.
Before the army of the dead descended on Lokan and the Kansa area was reduced to an ice field, he did not know what exactly happened in the White Rock Mine and the Hilde Hills adjacent to Kansa, just like those historical stories, the experience of the predecessors was gradually distorted after literary rendering, word of mouth, and exaggeration, and the details and key parts were extracted, leaving only the most legendary and exaggerated bridges and stalks as the main body of the story, so Mu Yan only knew that Zaix was a necromancer and made many mistakes, The Elemental Towers then established the Wish of Light on the Ice Fields as an outpost to attack the White Rock Mines, which are inhabited by many undead creatures......
However, any quest will have a series of pre-quests to guide it, which is especially evident in Dusk Era, such as the pre-quest for the Mount Hogarth dungeon group, which was only available in the 80s, in a small dungeon that existed at the time of the game's launch, the scorching mines in the corrugated region of the Hilde Hills.
In that mine lurked a non-penetrating necromancer, who used special means to enslave the fire elemental Boron in the depths of the mine, and the latter was the creator and believer of Garden, whose strength was far beyond the ability of players in the tenth or twentieth levels at that time, so at that time players could only experience the trials of Bolon, and ignored the strategic significance of a powerful elemental creature appearing in the hinterland of the Morning Star, until the level 70 version of Hilde was shrouded in a sea of fire and did not realize the seriousness of the problem......
After all, as a novice dungeon, it was left behind by players after only a month of serving, and naturally no one thought deeply about this small "enslavement incident", but behind it was the beginning of the collusion between Garden and the necromancers, that is, with Leoric......
And these are far from what a librarian can understand just by reading war reports and other people's posts.
Not to mention what Teacher Zha told Mu Yan next, Mu Yan was directly stunned after listening to it, our scholar has 10,000 reasons to believe that even in the game, this should be an extremely deep hidden quest line, because he has never heard of such a thing......
Mr. Gotick, whose real name is Gotik Volenor, is a botanist who is affiliated with the Morning Star Silver Candle Society's botanical research institute, the "Living Greenhouse". Convert his status into a doctor of biology, and he is also the kind with extraordinary talent and unlimited future.
But in an academic environment like Morningstar, Gotik's talent is very different, because he loves to study "life taboos", that is, he focuses on human body modification and life extension.
These two were undoubtedly the beginning of major events such as Resident Evil, and could not be tolerated by the mainstream, so he was soon kicked out of the research institute on the charge of violating taboos, and then fell into poverty and slowly faded out of the aristocratic circle of Morningstar. In order to continue his research, he had to move to the countryside of Hilde, where birds don't poop, and finally fell out with his family and moved into the jungle in anger.
Then, just when he thought he was ending his depressed life in the inaccessible jungle, an ethereal voice came to the door.
The man did not reveal his identity, but gave Gotick the resources he wanted, encouraging and supporting him to continue his experiments. In return, Gotik had to complete an experiment called the "Two-Headed Chimera" for the other party, that is, to create the "Chimera".
The latter, which means "synthesized beast" in the lingua franca, happens to be the scope of Gotic's research.
With enough resources, Gotik naturally began to continue the experiments that had not been completed in the first place. This guy is strange and for some reason, he refuses to use others as test targets, so the first test subject turns out to be himself...... And the other half of the experimental subjects he used were also yellow-striped butterflies.
This is a very special kind of monster, because in the larval and pupa stages, it is always an ordinary beast, at most it is larger than other insects...... But once the adult breaks out of the chrysalis, the yellow-striped spotted butterfly with wings spread and flies is reborn and becomes a magical beast - although it is only the lowest-level magical beast, and it has almost no combat power, and can only provide illusion materials...... But it is indeed out of the category of beasts and linked to magic, which means that the land lord is also in the immortal class.
This was undoubtedly a metamorphosis, an evolution, in Gotik's eyes, just like his lifelong wish - he wanted to complete an evolution of himself, from an ordinary person to an omnipotent mage.
This is also the voice of most of the scholars of the Silver Candle Society, most of whom dream of becoming mages.
The experiment went smoothly, no one bothered, Gotik successfully completed the transformation in the depths of the dense forest, he didn't mention the process, but judging from the small expression that Mr. Zha's mouth couldn't help pouting when he told it, it should be a very unsightly scene...... It's probably the category of hunting for B-grade movies, after all, fusion starts from larvae.
All in all, Gotik successfully completed his "evolution" and became one such "elf" in two forms. His physical body can change like a transformer, this is a simple physical behavior, not mixed with any magic ingredients, so even Mu Yan's perception can't find anything abnormal in him, after all, perception is not X-ray......
"Didn't you succeed...... And there is a perception beyond ordinary people, but why aren't you a mage? Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Gotik immediately smiled bitterly.
"I succeeded, but I also failed......"
