Chapter 1248: Images Spanning a Thousand Years (5)
The picture finally rests on the cover of the Book of the Dead, and then returns to the state of white eyes again. That's all for the CG that represents the cutscene.
Although it seems to be particularly inkblotted on the text, in fact, from the time the meteor fell to the end of the whole process, it only took a little more than a minute, less than two minutes.
An Yizhi always feels that this CG seems to have been castrated, after all, it is a documentary of 20 heroes encircling and suppressing the Great Lich more than 1300 years ago, and it is too child's play to end the battle in just over a minute.
As for the reasons for castration?
From an out-of-game perspective, it may be that the system feels that CG that takes too long will affect the player's game experience in the dungeon, and shortening the CG time only needs to make the player understand what happened.
If you analyze the settings in the game, it is possible that someone has tampered with it.
Don't forget where Ann Yizhi triggered this CG, the battlefield against the Great Lich was overhead, and the small room located underground is likely to be where the Great Lich temporarily settled.
It's entirely possible that Vaolek discovered the cellar and did what he did, no one can say.
However, although the time of the cutscene CG is not long, the amount of information in it is quite large.
One of the things that is undeniable is the power of the Book of the Dead.
Hela said that Vaolek was already a great mage who could release C-class spells in his era, and a guy like Vaolek who could make do with B-class spells was comparable to the current Jescord, standing at the pinnacle of mortal spellcasters.
Judging from the CG, this is indeed the case, the number of times the mage in the picture is very small, and the time to chant the spell is too long, and the C-level spell can be instantaneous when replaced with the current An Yizhi, and they need four or five seconds or even more 'forward swing'.
In terms of level, even the strongest Vaolek is more than 40 levels, and it is definitely less than 50 levels.
Let's not complain about everyone being so lo at that time, what should be noted is how the great lich stood out in such a large group of mages who were still lo.
Hard Resistance to Meteor Magic and Absolute Winter, the level of the Great Lich is at least 80 or above, which was an absolutely unimaginable height more than 1,300 years ago, especially for mortals.
It's fine to change to a dragon or something, but the Great Lich is indeed mortal.
The source of it all goes back to the Book of the Dead.
Although there are currently 7 pages, An Yizhi doesn't think that the Book of the Dead is very useful, and for the current An Yizhi, the Book of the Dead can only abuse vegetables.
But even if you don't think about how the Great Lich reached such a high level for the time being, the Book of the Dead pulled out the fallen orc gods to fight with the platinum dragon god is a fact that I have seen with my own eyes.
I think that when Ann Yizhi had just received the task of collecting the Book of the Dead, the manual he got from King Palundexiu showed that the Book of the Dead had this ability.
It's just that at that time, An Yizhi thought that it was just a simple blowing, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but he didn't expect that it was still Too young, too simple.
The Book of the Dead can create a Great Lich, and it can create another.
This is a matter of course, and Ann Yizhi seems to have a very positive idea of collecting pages for the Book of the Dead, which has become more and more salted recently.
- So Guldan, what is the price of power?
There will be no big pie falling from the sky in this world, maybe there is, but with the luck of the Americans, he would never believe that this kind of big pie would slap himself directly in the face.
The Book of the Dead is powerful enough to transform several planes into necromantic realms, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a manifestation of the concept of 'death'.
And the price is ......
Seems to affect the mind?
In the past, there were often NPCs who told An Yizhi not to use the Book of the Dead as much as possible, from a big guy like Jace Kod to an ordinary member of the Three Towers Alliance like John, but anyone who had heard the name of the Book of the Dead had kindly warned An Yizhi.
But An Yizhi didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the Dark Lord's gaze was always warned to be used sparingly, but at least nothing happened until now, right......
Judging from the small number of dialogues in the cutscene CG and the note found in the Waolek dungeon, the Great Lich had a very good relationship with the mage Bajie at that time, especially with Vaolek, who was simply a close friend, and the CP that could be out of the book in the eyes of the rotten girl.
And they are also heartbroken by what the Great Lich has done, which is not simply resentment against the Great Lich's behavior, but more like the heartache after seeing a friend go down the evil path.
In other words, no one believed that the Great Lich would do this, or even that he would choose to become a Lich before this.
CG Finally, the Book of the Dead was temporarily sealed by the Talent Sealing Technique, and the red undead flame in the eyes of the Great Lich turned blue, which may indicate that he briefly got rid of the influence of the Book of the Dead at that time, combined with his last act of crushing his own life box, it is undoubtedly to tell An Yizhi that the Book of the Dead will affect the mind of the holder.
But......
This doesn't seem like a big deal, at least not for the player.
Unlike NPCs, the player is protected by the system, and any spells and effects that distort the mind and alter memories will have no effect on the player, such as the time when they encountered the Blue Dragon in the Sea Clan Realm before.
The Blue Dragon uses memory weaving to alter the memories of the crew, but the spell effect will bounce off when it hits Ann's finger, which is proof that the player is protected by the system.
If the cost of using the Book of the Dead is only a small amount, it is not unacceptable, it is just the work of collecting the pages......
It's too much of a lifetime.
An Yizhi has seven pages in his hand, and the Shadow Order must have a few in his hand, but how many of them exactly, and how many are scattered in the multiverse, it is unknown.
What's even more disgusting is that the pages are not 100% in the multiverse dungeon, and one of the pages was obtained by Ann Yizhi in the temporary dungeon, which makes the collection even more annoying.
Speaking of which, after reading this CG, except for making An Yizhi find that the Book of the Dead is really awesome, there is still not much change, and the collection of pages is still the same, depending on the fate.
It's a real no-brainer, but it's not without clues.
In the cellar before, no one saw the bright spots suspended in the ceiling, and all that could be seen was An Yizhi, and by the way, An Yizhi also watched the CG of the cutscene.
Why is this happening?
Combined with the content in the CG, it is obviously related to the Book of the Dead, after more than 1300 years, the Book of the Dead with a different owner is considered to be a revisit.
If you analyze it from an outside-of-game perspective, the system activates this cutscene CG in order to provide Ann Yizhi with some clues about the Book of the Dead.
Although the situation is not clear, Ann has a strong premonition that he will find another page this time.
As for where to find it?
Remember the historical record about Vaolek?
After defeating the Great Lich, Vaolek took his pages across the Endless Wasteland, placing them in Mount Doom and waiting for lava with the power to destroy magical items.
It is very likely that the pages of the Book of the Dead have not been destroyed, and it is still somewhere in the Doom Volcano, and Ann Yi pointed out that this time it is very close to the Doom Volcano......
He planned to wait and send John and the others back to Blue Castle first, and then set off for Doomsday Volcano Wave himself, anyway, the main quest was written 'just hang out', and there were no exact requirements.
With this in his mind, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and then he blinked, and he found that he had returned to the surface at some point, right next to the green campfire of the ghost woman.
John shook Ann's shoulder with a worried face, almost breaking his neck, it seems that during the time Ann Yizhi looked at CG, the copy continued to pass.
Seeing that Ann's eyes regained their brilliance, John breathed a strong sigh of relief, and Hela also asked:
"Master, you seem to have been affected by an unknown spell effect, did you just see something?
"It's not a big deal, just a little dizzy."
There is nothing wrong with telling Hela about the CG more than 1300 years ago, but Ann Yizhi doesn't plan to tell John that the fewer people who know about these ancient secrets, the better, especially John, a careless coward, let her know too much may lead to death.
"Teacher An, you just fell straight to the ground, but it scared us."
Lena said with a sigh of relief, and George on the side nodded approvingly.
They haven't left the camp of the ghost woman yet, if they come back with four crows, John can't stop it by himself, she can protect herself from death is already burning high incense, no wonder Lena and George are afraid, losing the life talisman of Ann Yizhi The two magic weak chickens can't survive one night in the ash forest.
An Yizhi rubbed his nose, no wonder it was a little sour, it turned out that his face was on the ground again.
John tugged at the corner of Ann's robe, and when he turned his head, he said with rare seriousness:
"An Yizhi, no matter what happens to you, I will always be on your side."
This guy is rarely keen, and he was stunned for a moment when he used to be fooled casually.
Inexplicably, Ann Yizhi suddenly remembered Irma in CG. The image of Cooks questioning the Great Lich, the ghost knows why it is associated with each other.
Ann immediately swept aside the useless associations and vigorously ruffled John's short hair in gratitude.
"Pack all the things you need to take, let's go back to Blue Castle first, I need to go alone again......"
Without waiting for Ann to finish speaking, Hela looked at the sky and said:
"Something approached quickly from the sky...... It's a crow ghost woman. ”
As they spoke, everyone looked up and saw the four crows and ghost women who had left earlier appear in the air above the woods, flapping their wings that were almost assimilated to their arms, and they were also stunned when they saw An Yizhi and the others.
But as long as you are not blind, you can see from the mess at the scene that there was a battle here just now, and all the ghost women who stayed behind rushed to the street.
"Mortal! You will pay the price! ”
One of the crows threatened from above, but instead of attacking rashly, they weighed whether they could fight or not.
After all, the four ghost women left behind are not much different from the crow ghost women in terms of combat effectiveness, and even if they are all hanging, it is estimated that the four crow ghost women will not be able to defeat them.
They didn't run away for the first time because they weren't sure if An Yi was a strong outsider now, and if the previous battle was too expensive, it was not impossible to win.
The crow ghost woman was a little hesitant, but An Yizhi didn't hesitate at all, he tortured the ghost woman before and didn't get the information he wanted, and among these crow ghost women, there seems to be a ...... who can speak the lingua franca
