"That's not right! Isn't the Bone Eater Ring gone? β
Wutong stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and almost pestled into the old man's nostril, not realizing that the "blackening" just now began from where his middle finger had worn the Bone Eater ring.
"Didn't you find out for yourself that although the ring is gone, its special surname remains in your body?"
Old man Zemmour rolled his eyes: "It's not that it's gone at all, it's that the Bone Eater Ring has completely eroded your body and integrated into your body!" If it hadn't been for the large sealing circle we used to imprison it just now, you would have turned into the monster you just looked like just now! β
He stretched out his finger and nodded on the door of Wutong's head: "It's not just your body, your soul has been eroded by it!" That's why you're controlled by it before! β
"I'm controlled by the ring?" Sycamore doesn't believe it, do you think it's the Lord of the Rings?
Although Wutong said that he didn't believe it, there were bursts of cold sweat behind his back!
The demonic state just now was too real, and at that moment, he even felt that his sharp claws could tear through the steel, the sharp fangs could bite through the dragon armor, and the slender tail with a long bone blade behind him could even split the mountain with a slight flick!
This feeling is obviously false, because as a player, he can't be fooled by the illusions in the game, right?
But the kind of powerful touch brought to him by the demonized body just now was simply impossible for him to possess in a 10,000-year-old dead house, let alone something that he, a mage with thin skin and remnants of blood, could have.
But Wutong's bursts of panic, the faint feeling of tyrannical killing and crazy destruction** sprouted from his instinct!
Is this an illusion created by the game, or is it a negative emotion hidden in his own surname? Or is it that his mild and calm surname in reality is just a "pseudo-surname" that he forcibly and instinctively suppresses in order to prevent himself from being too emotional, with increased adrenaline, causing blood flow to accelerate, and causing his cerebral hemorrhage?
And in the game, he will not be affected by his sick body, and his true surname is exposed?
Shudder!
This feeling is not new to today! But after entering "Endless", he already faintly felt it, especially after accidentally wearing this bone eater ring, his "soul" seemed to be really different from himself in reality, and became a little strange, as if a murderous and tyrannical demon had been released from his body!
If this is only the influence of the game, does it mean that the game "Endless" will change people's real surnames, and even through some means, they can control the idea of human beings in reality?
But if it's not affected by the game, then doesn't it mean that there really is such a murderous and crazy side in your surname? Is this crazy self a "pseudo-personality" given by the game, or is the gentle self in reality a "pseudo-personality"?
Wutong was at a loss all of a sudden, unable to distinguish between inside and outside the game, which side is real and that side is virtual!
Hurriedly shook his head, throwing this terrible idea out of his mind, if the game can affect reality, then it is impossible for this "Endless" to be approved by real countries, otherwise, if this game is controlled by a madman, then the impact will not only be as simple as chaos, but will shake the fundamental end of the world of human existence!
Wiping off the sweat, Wutong looked at the wet sweat stains on his palms in a daze, and subconsciously twisted his fingers, this touch is too real, right? There are hunger (physical exhaustion), fatigue (stamina exhaustion), pain (injury) in "Endless", coupled with various instinctive reactions of the player's body, except that there is no excretion, it is almost exactly the same as reality, can a game really be developed so realistically?
If some props in the game will affect the player's real emotional reaction, does this mean that the world in "Endless" is also a kind of "real world" on an alternative level?
The official explanation for the development of "Endless", a game whose process is not controlled by artificial, is that the world in the game is completely composed of the cluster subconscious of all players, and the core consciousness is condensed by the subconscious of all players, that is to say, the "real in the game" is what the players themselves "think" is so "real", so it will be so "real".
This is what Endless calls the "dream system"!
The whole world is composed of the "consciousness" of countless players, "Endless" is not "controlled" by anyone, and "controlled" by any person, as long as you are a member of the player system, in the core consciousness, there is a part of your "individual"!
The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, Wutong felt that this thought was expelled from his mind, this is just a game, at most it is a little more real, no matter what secrets are behind it, it is not something that an ordinary player like him can indulge and change, why is he scaring himself?
"In order to prevent you from really becoming that terrible monster, we have imposed a sealing circle on you, and this forced 'Bone Eater Ring' has to give up the entity and enter your body as a whole to lurk, so don't do too drastic 'negative behavior', otherwise it will increase the curse power of the Bone Eater Ring, and eventually become a walking dead and slave corrupted by it! At that point, even us old fellows will no longer be able to pull you back from the abyss! β
The old mage taught him a very unceremonious lesson, and Wutong could only listen honestly, in terms of rank, he was an 8th-order ** teacher, and in terms of identity, he was a noble class more than ten or twenty levels higher than him, and in terms of strength, he was thrown away more than 800 kilometers.
"Then won't I fight back and scold or fight back in the future?" Wutong said with a sad face.
"Who said that!?"
The old man glared: "The majesty of the mage, can anyone provoke it?" Those who dare to challenge the dignity of the mage must have the consciousness to withstand the wrath of the mage! A small neighborhood gang actually forced you to fight with them? I have to say, little guy, you seem to be a little too low-key, the ability of the mage is not used to fight bravely, these physical tasks are just left to those muscles! β
Wutong Khan, this old man seems to be a "mage supremacy" activist.
Zemmour, who hated him, blew his beard and glared: "What is your current identity?" The head of the ninth department of the Wienern Academy! The students of the previous generation of the head of the eight departments! The direct successors of more than a dozen ** teachers of the Venane Academy! Dean of the Venane Academy, my disciple of Zemur! This identity, it is enough to ask to meet the queen, I don't believe you put these identities out, in Fairhaven no! In the entire AndrΓ© and even the entire KovarΓ© Continent, there is that force that dares to deal with you directly without considering the thoughts of our old guys! β
Wutong sweats again, does this mean that he accidentally became the legendary "second generation of law" and "third generation of law"? We are also the ones who can sign up for the number when we go out?
"It seems that you don't have the pride of being a mage! Solve your own business! β
The old man Zemur was very angry and smashed the hard rock-paved ground of the mage tower with the Nanmu staff, and then stretched out his dry finger and poked Wutong's nose: "Go!" As your teacher, the first task I give you is to teach those who dare to challenge the dignity of mages! As for how to do it, it's up to you to perform! If you're happy with your performance, I don't mind forgiving the Academy for the damage you've caused to the Academy! β
Free 500,000 gold coins?
Wutong's eyes lit up, and it was obviously unreasonable for the player to be blackmailed by NPC for 500,000 gold coins all of a sudden, it seemed that it was a foreshadowing for the [Dignity of the Mage] task that he had just received, which suddenly made Wutong breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't look at what the old man said as if "my dad is xx", but if Wutong is really stupid enough to use their identity to solve this problem, I'm afraid that he will be taught a hard lesson by these old mages, right?
glanced at the first ring of the [Mage's Dignity] mission, which asked him to investigate the neighborhood gang, but did not write the mission requirements and mission results, it seems that how to use his power and identity to solve this problem in the incomplex Fairhaven City is the main purpose of this mission, focusing on the process, and the result is not important.
Wutong vaguely understood, the random task he received seemed to be because his own learning in the arcane field had exceeded the level of the vast majority of mage apprentices in the academy, so he entered the "internship period" in advance and began to take the lead in carrying out the "academy task".
"In addition, hurry up and complete your inaugural task, if you perform well, I will recommend you to take the individual test of the "Arcane Council", take the 'Mage Rank Evaluation' in advance, and officially become a [Beginner Mage] who enjoys the status and treatment of a mage!"
Dean Zemmour's words made Wutong's eyes light up, and he conducted the "Mage Rank Evaluation" in advance? Don't have to wait for the next batch in three months?
Seeing Wutong's obviously surprised expression, the old man Zemur smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the broken mask on your face can no longer be worn, the Bone Eater Ring has been imprisoned by us with a sealing circle, and the abyssal aura on your body has also been sealed in your body, as long as you don't trigger the ban in your body, there won't be much of a problem." β
Wutong took off the mask from his face in surprise, and sure enough, as soon as he took off the mask of lies, the situation of being covered in blood and flames disappeared, and he reacted that when the old man pointed at the back of his hand, he was wearing a mask.
It's not that the role of the Mask of Lies has failed, but that after the curse has deepened, the Mask of Lies has been unable to cover up the situation of the camp he was contaminated by the abyssal breath, causing "overflow", and now, because the abyss breath in his body is banned, he can also maintain the status of [neutral camp] without wearing a mask, and even the guide just reminded him that he received the academy mission, and he no longer calls him "Destroyer".
"Don't be too happy, the curse and abyss aura you received on your body are not gone, but completely integrated into your bone marrow and hidden, becoming a part of your blood, I can't be sure, whether this will have an impact on your future, but it is certain that if you continue to borrow its power, then sooner or later you will break the seal and become its slave completely!"
Zemmour finished scaring Wutong and waved at him: "Okay, let's complete your inauguration mission and academy mission as soon as possible!" Give the old man a hard lesson to those guys who don't respect the mage! As he spoke, he came into contact with the elemental wind bat Shalasi, who was imprisoned by him, and the little guy slipped out in fright and hid behind Wutong.
Is this an order to find fault?
Sycamore had no choice but to say: "Oh! He snapped, and then stared at Zemmour.
After staring at Wutong for a few seconds, Zemmour said suspiciously, "What are you waiting for?" β
Wutong was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Don't you send me back with a wave of my hand and a sigh~?" β
Zemmour was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an arcane missile condensed in his hand, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can send you directly to heaven, do you think I am a humanoid teleportation array?" "Sycamore fled.
In a cold sweat, Wutong crossed the two large districts, and returned to the No. 44 dormitory building with great difficulty, but fortunately, Sarasi had a strong sense of direction, otherwise she would almost get lost in the middle because she didn't know the way.
Seeing that the sycamore disappeared in front of him, and then ran back from outside, the mages of the No. 44 dormitory building surrounded him in surprise and asked him a lot of questions.
Wutong was anxious by their questions, and he could only pick what he could say and tell them, not that he didn't trust them, but if he told them about the bunch of identities he had, and all kinds of large-scale background tasks that were beyond the current player level, he estimated that he would have to explain it overnight, so it was simply a mess on Mercenary Street, which was known by the academy higher-ups, so he was "summoned" to the past, questioned, and threw him an academy task of "investigating the neighborhood gang".
Unfortunately, this quest is a personal quest and cannot be shared, and although Sycamore can invite them to help, he is the only one who can get the quest reward.
As a result, they didn't expect that after the mages heard that he had received the academy task, they were very interested and expressed their willingness to help investigate, because they were a "team": "No. 44 Secret Law Mission", and they could also take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the academy tasks that they had not yet been exposed to in advance, which was a task that only mages could receive after their official inauguration.
"It's not difficult to investigate the neighborhood gangs, just go to the Adventure Guild or the Mercenary Guild to issue a mission, ask the wanderers to search, or go to the Thieves' Guild, the Spy Guild, the Infiltration Guild and other places that sell information, and buy detailed information about them."
July Liuhuo frowned and said, "The neighborhood gang is only the smallest force group in Fairhaven City, and it is easy to get information about them. I think this mission should be more than just investigating their information, right? That's too easy!? Doesn't it meet the difficulty of the academy's tasks? β
Everyone else agrees with the opinion of July Flowing Fire, there are more than 22,000 in the Venane Academy, and in the first wave of mage rank evaluation, the players who have officially inaugurated the mage career template, only they can receive the academy quest at the academy's task release place, so the mages are no strangers to the academy quest.
On the contrary, because those mage players who can receive academy tasks are rarely able to complete academy tasks by their own ability alone, they usually choose to recruit team members to complete them in a team with great fanfare, and naturally it is impossible to avoid the outflow of mission content and process, so players are very familiar with the difficulty of academy tasks, in comparison, the difficulty of this academy task of Wutong is too low.
Wutong was speechless, and they really guessed that his mission was not just to investigate the intelligence of the neighborhood gang, listening to Dean Zemmour's meaning, it seemed that he was going to teach the gang a lesson.
This is more difficult, the official members of the block gang, at least are formal professionals above the 1st level, plus a large number of minions, I want to teach them a lesson, unless it is like Wutong before, holding the thunder stone and fighting with them.
If they fight directly, they can't beat each other if they haven't been able to officially take office yet, whether they fight alone or in groups.
Wutong scratched his head for a while: "No matter!" Let's find out the background and information of "Jackal of the Wild" first! Their leader and some of the main members have been killed by me, maybe they will be easier to deal with? β
The mages nodded, there is obviously no time to complete this task overnight, it is almost time to go offline for a long night, everyone has made an appointment, after taking a break offline, the real time will be 8 o'clock and then go online, and go to complete this task together.
The group went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and Wutong also took the opportunity to go offline to solve the physiological problems, ate breakfast, ran in the garden for a while, returned to the house, and entered the game.
As he gets used to the existence of "Endless", at present, except for going offline twice a day, two hours each time, almost all the rest of the time is soaked in the game, anyway, even if he doesn't play the game, he needs to sleep for more than ten hours a day.
However, Wutong began to slowly find that his energy seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, far less weak than before, he could only take a slight walk, but now he can barely jog for half an hour, without burdening his body.
It seems that a good rest contributes to the health of the body.
