Chapter Twenty-Five: Flattered, Curves Save the Country
Aesop is famous again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had already been branded as a "waste number", but in less than a few days, there was a strong news that he had successfully completed the A+ college task and was summoned by the legendary NPC, and the "Hero" forum was boiling again, according to the gossip of Brother Meng, this time even some big guilds and even foreigners paid attention.
There are many conjectures about the course of the mission, all of them are vivid, and the more they talk about it, the more exaggerated they become, and as for the rewards, there are even more opinions, and they are completely out of the way. Of course, some people questioned whether there were bugs and plug-ins, but the official actually took the initiative to refute the rumors and swore that there was no such problem in "Heroes".
In any case, the people who watched the show before were dumbfounded, and those who saw the wind making the rudder screamed and flattered vigorously.
Aesop directly blocked the private messages added by his friends who almost broke the table, the heroic man was lonely and self-assured, which was more refreshing than eating ten perfect tonic wine, and imagining the scene of Mo Dashao's extreme disappointment and vomiting three liters of blood, his bones were numb.
Then, he was numb to the bone, and met with the two legendary NPCs who had bowed to him with sincere trepidation and respect.
The two old men, a man and a woman, have no exaggerated clothing and ornaments, nor do they have any arrogant style, they are simple and simple, and their faces are clear and vicissitudes, and they can vaguely see the handsome, heroic and beautiful of the year.
In the face of the two of them, Isolt didn't even perceive any terrifying aura, however, the essence of the light that lurked in the depths of the other party's keen eyes made him sincerely feel the power comparable to that of Fafnbar.
This is the strong man who stands at the top of the pyramid of the hero world, the closest existence to the gods!
The risk is really worth it, in addition to the rich experience reward, the prestige and treatment are the key. I'm afraid that so far, I am the only player who has been in close contact with such a big person.
A little happiness and pride overflowed in her heart, and Aesop slowly calmed down under the other party's approachable inquiry, and told her what she had seen and guessed.
As far as he knows, the setting of "Hero" is a mixture of Norse mythology and Greek mythology, and naturally, the official has made clever changes, otherwise the plot will not be playable. Based on the existing allusions, as well as recent encounters, Aesop deduced that the old gods were dormant in the land of the dead, Helheim, trying to return to the world, and the giants were aware of and even colluded, and Fafnir took advantage of it, apparently intending to save his life. Of course, players in the background of the return of the Old Gods know that it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to be able to dig up the details and put the evidence in front of the NPCs.
As expected, after listening to his narration, the expressions of the two legends became grim and fell into a brief contemplation.
Then, in a soft voice that was very inappropriate for her age, Crowrien said in a deep voice: "The oracle has descended, and the ancient gods who originally thought they were long dead are indeed ready to move, trying to subvert the age of magic, and the arrival of the Chosen One is a major move for my gods to deal with." ”
Hearing this, Roth bowed slightly, and returned: "'Sky Sage' Aslan also captured the movement of the thread of fate. Right now, I'm more concerned about the Old Gods' arrangement. You are the messenger of the present god, and the things of the ancient gods should be clearer, have you heard of the 'gold of the Rhine'? ”
Crowrien shook her head and replied abruptly, "If it is really a deliberate foreshadowing by the ancient gods, I am afraid that even His Majesty Saint Moira will not know about it." However, I have heard of the 'Blood Sacred Scripture', and with the strength of the Ancient Flame Dragon Fafna, if he really controls the 'Blood Sacred Scripture', even my gods will be afraid of it. ”
"The Blood Sacred Book is a weapon and a cage. As long as you don't get caught up in the barrier, you don't have to worry. Roth waved his hand lightly, but his brows furrowed, "Although Fafnir's matter is not small, it is also insignificant, and it is the country of death. ”
"Alas~~ The end of fate, the graveyard of everything, whether it is the coronation of St. Moira or the ancient god Norn himself, it is difficult to understand the traces of Helheim." "It, or fate, is the most difficult to guess, even to the gods. It's just that I didn't expect the ancient gods to be annihilated in the long river of fate, and they tried to reverse the ......"
"Hehe, who doesn't want to be in charge of their own destiny? And who is willing to sink in failure? ”
As if listening to the Sakya singing, Aesop was shocked and alert, and then, from the other party's narrative, he caught a little bit of cattle: Jotunheim's plot, the player thinks from the perspective of the game, and naturally thinks that it will be carried out step by step and item by item, but he has been with the NPC for a long time, and knows that the aborigines have their own ideas and their own systems. So, since the oracle has revealed the crisis, the natives, at least the strong people with a broad vision, should know the hidden dangers, Musbell is such a dangerous factor on the border, whether it is a legendary hero or a high god, there is no action, the strangeness is really thought-provoking.
Aesop couldn't help but ask, "In that case, why don't you preemptively attack the giants?" I think you can all see what's wrong, right? ”
"Agreed ......"
A slight bitterness flashed across the faces of Crowrien and Roth, and the two looked at each other for a moment, the former responding with a deep gaze, as if to say to Aesop, and then as if to say to himself: "In the battle of the demon gods, Tilphon once dealt a heavy blow to Wotan, and then joined hands with the king of the frost giants to suppress the demon god Fennir in Muspel at a great cost, an existence that even the ancient gods feared. As a token of gratitude, our gods have made an oath of fate that their crowns and their followers will not be the first to strike at Jotunheim. ”
Demon wolf Fennier? Founding giant Yog?
The astonishing news sent a storm through Aesop's mind - no doubt it was another thread, and things were not as simple as they could have imagined!
"And what is Tirphon's attitude this time? Jotunheim should be aware of the actions of the Dead Nation, why didn't he react? Isolt took a deep breath and continued to ask questions that had already been answered in her mind.
After a moment's hesitation, Roth smiled and continued, "Young people are so energetic and curious, it reminds me of my own quest for magic. It's a question that Keriel can't say, so let me answer it. Since time immemorial, giants and gods have been friends and foes, and since the gods have reneged on their covenants and created the crown of St. Moira from the blood of Norn, the goddess of fate, the giants have chosen to forsake them. Hehe, since they can join forces with the present gods to overthrow the ancient gods, it is not impossible to collude with the ancient gods in a vain attempt to reshape Amara. ”
With Roth's explanation, Crowrien's expression became a little embarrassed, and Aesop's heart also beat a drum - look at his broken mouth, just guess, I want to ask, this is good, it seems that I have learned a lot of amazing things, woe comes from the mouth, I won't be killed and killed, right?!
Fortunately, the big heroes did not turn their faces ruthlessly, nor did they smash the cup, and they were still amiable.
The awkward atmosphere passed, and Roth put away his reminiscences, and the topic returned to Aesop herself: "Anyway, young man, you have let us know important news, and the entire Tour de France Council has a high opinion of you. We old fellows can't let you risk it for nothing, say, what do you ask for? Whew, you're welcome, Clariel and I will decide for ourselves. ”
Isolt was overjoyed and immediately spoke, "Then can I ask for the Obsidian Void Crystal Essence?" I need it desperately to save people! ”
"Obsidian Void Crystal?" The two legends raised their eyebrows in unison.
Immediately, Crowrien suddenly said, "Yes, that friend of yours has been affected by the 'Blood Sacred Codex', right?" That was indeed in urgent need of the Obsidian Void Crystal Essence's rescue. ”
Aesop was in awe: Great power is really powerful, and the key can be grasped with just a few words.
Without thinking about it, Crowrien's words then took a sharp turn: "I can understand your feelings, young man. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do for the time being. Obsidian Void Crystals are also relatively rare deposits in the Abyss, let alone Essence. It is said that this resource is indispensable for the Blood Succession Ritual, and most of it is in the hands of the Blood Prince Zorenpera, and it may be difficult for Valion to find and stock up. ”
Aesop's whole body collapsed in an instant-when he heard Shania's introduction, he originally thought that this "Obsidian Void Crystal Essence" was nothing more than Er'er, as long as the level came up, he would be able to get his hands on it after all. Now that it is difficult to see the legendary hero, I realized that the so-called "A-class" is not a waste of fame.
Blood Succession Ritual? Scarlett, Scarlett, what kind of fate awaits you~~
Unspeakable disappointment, unspeakable expectation, Aesop was speechless for a while.
Seeing Aesop's loss, Rot's face was apologetic, and after a little thought, he interjected: "Young man, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Well, I've heard that even though you're just getting started, you're doing a great job, and now you're going to explore the path of heroism? In this case, I will personally activate the nine-ring circle 'Kiss of St. Moira' to open gnosis for you as a reward for this mission. ”
Bite~~~
Note! The over-quota promotion line selection is on.
The belated system prompt immediately woke up Aesop, and he remembered the original intention of this mission, and couldn't help but turn his sadness into joy.
Then Crowrien added, "Well, your friend has a little sister." I'm sorry I can't help her save my sister, so let me join forces with Roth to enlighten Gnosis for you and the little girl, which is my compensation for her. ”
As she spoke, a hint of maternal love rose over Clarion's old countenance—however, Aesop had long since gotten carried away, and his frustration was swept away by a great surprise, and the ups and downs of change almost made him lose his mind.
So, the matter was settled.
The next day, the two legends completed the promotion for Aesop and Little Lori, and the battle was surprisingly big - according to Pink's later description, at that time, Galoa could be said to be "surging and flying sand and stones, and the sky and earth changed to ghosts and gods crying", which is simply a fight with the birth of the gods and the appearance of the demon king in the anime - but for Aesop, it is to light up the blind dog's eyes, and then biu, as if putting a satellite, the whole person is cute.
Aesop, a level 34 and a level 12 bandit, is a strange chosen one; Vera at level 32 and Mule Knight level 16? Custer, a loli - two atypical nomads have finally ushered in the initial victory of the revolution after a lot of hardships, and have opened an exaggerated excess template: the hero of excellence!
During the Common Beta, it was known that heroes have a 30% higher growth rate than the Elite, and the best current Exceptional Templates are said to be 40%, while the Excellence initial bonus and increase is as high as 55%! Even with the summoning power, the initial 4 units, the upper limit of 100 per unit, is enough to make the heroes in front of them complacent with 2x50 in shame to death.
Not to mention the amazing progress in talent!
A mere C-level "brute force burst" evolved into a B+-level talent:
Titan Power [(The fierce battle with the giant makes you understand the deep use of power) consumes 30% energy, strength +40%, constitution +10%, lasts 15 minutes; Cooldown time 5 hours】
At the same time, Isolt also gained a new A-rank talent that dragged him to cry:
Heaven and earth roared [(Basaka, I'm not a man!) Consumes 50% energy, 20% health, +60% strength, +40% constitution, +10% agility, immunity to paralysis, stiffness, limp, vertigo, and mental shock for 10 minutes; Items cannot be used during Berserkerization, and all stats will be reduced by 10% after the end, the duration will be 1 hour, and the cooldown will be 16 hours.
Little Lori is also at a good level, and the original B-level talent "Call of the Wild" has evolved into an A-level "Call of the Wilderness", and her combat power has directly doubled!
And the new A-rank talent almost burst Aesop's eyeballs:
Wind Forest Volcano [(People are small and ghosts, war trampling) consumes 70% energy, self and contractor all attributes +20%, allies within a radius of 50 meters speed +10%, immunity to psychic shock, lasts 20 minutes; Cooldown 24 hours】
Needless to say, the follower contract has also quietly become a servant contract with the promotion, and the heroic spirit bonus alone adds an additional 5% attribute to Xiao Lori, not to mention other "convenience". Aesop, who succeeded in his treacherous scheme, was intoxicated with making a fortune in a muffled voice and couldn't extricate himself, and the only regret was that little Lori's essence was serious - well, anyway, with the deep relationship between him and little Lori now, he didn't have to worry about the axe hitting his head.
Obviously, with such a foundation, even if the road ahead is long, Aesop has the confidence and determination to find a way to resurrect Scarlett on her own.
It's a pity that the blessings and misfortunes are relied on, and the blessings and misfortunes are lurking! Although the two legends were helpful, did not take labor costs, and even contributed half of the magic circle consumption, the rest of the bad debts were still thrown on Aesop's head. Rao is a "good heart" mage tower has no time limit, and the interest has been reduced, and the huge list of resources still makes him dizzy and bleeding.
There is really no free lunch in the world, and I feel that I am getting farther and farther away from the main city...... Really, won't love anymore......
