Chapter 506: The Wind of Magic on the Prairie (Secondary 2)
It's not that Sivi hasn't experienced this kind of copy that simulates a certain era, in fact he has not only experienced it several times, but he will impress him almost every time - because only in the Tower of Grinding that will allow him to advance, there will be a copy of this type.
Thinking of the last time in the fourth layer of the Grinding Tower, it was a mythical battle that was passed purely by tricks, and Xiwei couldn't help but shudder.
I shouldn't have encountered such a perverted thing this time, right?
The original calendar of the New Era was the Amperatic calendar, and the first year of the New Era was the first year of Ampera, when mankind was still living in Middle-earth, where war had just ended.
It's just that after the double blow of the cataclysm and the great migration, human civilization has been seriously lost, and even the chronological calendar has been chaotic, and as a last resort, the head of mankind at that time made the abolition of the Amperaan calendar, and took the holy woman who predicted the catastrophe of mankind as the name of the new calendar, which is now widely spread Einstein calendar.
"I'm sorry, but I'm lost."
After figuring out a little bit about his situation, Sivi immediately made a choice.
As a great magician, even if he was restricted to the level of magic below the third ring, Sivi was still confident that he would be able to defeat the stupid big man in front of him within three minutes. However, this had no effect other than to make him less popular with the Centaur clan in the quest.
That's why he chose to pretend to be an ordinary human to show weakness, and at the same time said to the other party: "I didn't mean to break into your territory...... I would be glad if I could show me the way out. ”
Who knew that the other party did not directly answer his words. Instead, he aimed the crossbow bolt in his hand at him and pulled the trigger before Sivi could react.
Damn, am I playing away again?!
Sivi didn't even have time to pull out the card, so he could only subconsciously close his eyes, and then a strong wind passed by his ears.
When he realized that it was an arrow, he also realized that he was not harmed.
He opened his eyes and turned his head to find that most of the sharp arrow had gone into the body of a black-skinned goblin that had appeared behind him at some point, and only a slightly quivering tail feather was left outside.
Shulker Goblins, Crusade Level 8. There is also a ±4 level modifier. A rare high-ranking species among the goblins. As long as you stay in place for a while, it will automatically activate the spell-like ability on the skin to 'dive into the shadows', disappearing from people's vision like a chameleon, and because it has no magical powers. The breath of life is also extremely weak. It's hard to notice. A born assassin.
This shulker goblin obviously wanted to sneak up on Sivi from behind, but it was discovered by the centaur, and without saying a word, he shot it to the heart.
Sivi, who found that he had no idea the goblins approaching, immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his head.
This world realm doesn't just restrict its own spell casting. Even his perception ability has been greatly weakened, and if it weren't for the centaur's hands, maybe he would have become the first archmage in human history to die at the hands of a goblin!
"My countrymen and I don't have time to get you out of here. From now on, you're heading towards the rising sun and will be able to get out of here in no time...... Mark my words and don't come again! ”
Although the tone is not good, the centaur is not bad in nature.
Or are the centaurs actually tsundere?
Sivi, who felt as if he had discovered some terrible secret, shook his head, and was about to leave here as the other party said, trying to go to Middle-earth, but he didn't know if it was a whim or other reasons, he casually asked as he left, "Are you hunting goblins now?" ”
"Recently, a lot of goblins have appeared on the grassland, which has begun to affect the ecology of the grassland...... But that's not something to be hyped about, human. ”
The centaur raised his long face and said coolly.
I'm just casually asking anyway.
Sivi shrugged his shoulders and was about to leave, only to hear a burning pain from the coat of arms on the back of his hand.
Busy opening the academy system, Sivi found that there was a new task format on the task board, which he had never seen before.
"A new chain of cause and effect has been discovered: the second coming of the Goblin King."
"You can't leave the New Green Meadows of the Causal Plane until you've completed 'The Goblin King's Second Coming.'"
When he saw this, the corner of Xiwei's eyes twitched, and it seemed that he couldn't leave this grassland for the time being.
While scolding himself in his heart for talking nonsense with the other party for what he wanted, he also sighed, faintly feeling proud that he seemed to have discovered some of the strategies of this copy.
"Chain of Cause and Effect: 'The Goblin King's Second Coming'"
"Cause (Execution): Please seal the Goblin King before the Goblin Army is complete (15:33:45 time remaining). Every hour that passes, the number of new green steppe goblins doubles, and 1~6 new subspecies appear randomly."
"The seal has been sent to your card pack, please check."
"Reward: The reward for the success of this causal chain depends on completion"
"Punishment: Centaur Clan Completely Destroyed, Fatigue Limit Permanently Halved"
"Notes: 'Damn, these goblins are going crazy to attack us like crazy!' - Viin Castle Guard Tart"
“……”
Anyway, this mission made Sivi feel very strange.
The first task is not the usual crusade (although it is difficult to defeat the Goblin King in his current situation), but the seal, and it is so thoughtful that even the magic for the seal is ready.
Secondly, there is the task prefix and the content prefix. The 'chain of cause and effect' should be the chain of 'cause' and 'effect' of the event, and the prefix of the task content is 'cause (in progress)', so can it be assumed that after this, there will be tasks with the content of 'effect'?
In addition, what is the dilemma faced by the centaurs in this dungeon that is so similar to that of the centaurs in the real world?
The last is the penalty for mission failure.
Regardless of the permanent halving of the maximum fatigue value, it seems strange that the centaur clan in front of me was completely destroyed...... Why would his mission be tied to the survival of the centaurs?
If we extend our thinking a little further, the centaur clan mentioned in the punishment content is not just a centaur in the copy, but will perish together with the centaurs in the real world?
These things are connected together, and Sivi has a very bad guess.
Could it be, the Tower of Cause and Effect isn't actually a copy, but it really takes him back in time, right? (To be continued......)
