Chapter 8: Akara
"Akara asked me to come over?" Lan Wu was inexplicably frightened. I've just entered Camp Rog. How could Akara notice himself so quickly?
Worod ran in front of Lan Wu out of breath. His physique was already surprisingly weak. Such a strenuous exercise made the already bloodless face even paler. He gasped a few times, then said beamingly, "I'll take those survivors to meet Lord Akara." But I will not allow myself to take your credit. She learned that you had helped me save the survivors from the damned Devils, and she offered to take you there. She wants to meet you, a newly promoted professional. ”
When Lan Wu heard that it was Volod who took the initiative to reveal the news, he wanted to strangle this dead man's face. It was Akara, the wise prophet of Akara. It's too late to hide by yourself, how can you go to see her. What if this wise woman sees that she is not indigenous? Say you're a traverser? The less people know about this secret, the better. But if you don't say that, the most important skill tree for professionals is simply not available to you.
Volod consciously did a great good deed for his friend, his pale face was a little more bloody, and he urged happily: "Lord Akara is very concerned about the fate of mankind, and he values us professionals very much. Didn't you lose the space bag? Maybe Lord Akara will give you a nice space bag. She is the most famous alchemist in Camp Rog. If you're a little unlucky, you might be able to get a space bag from her. It's not expensive, a five-cubic-meter space bag only costs fifty gold coins, which is much cheaper than the space bags made by other alchemists. ”
God, come and kill this fool who thinks he is clever by lightning.
This is a true portrayal of Lan Wu's heart at the moment. He looked at Volod speechlessly. As an old bird, he may forget Chasi the blacksmith, and he may forget Kidd the black-hearted merchant, but he will never forget Acala. Almost every player will buy the Identification Scroll, the City Return Scroll, and other magic items from her.
Knowing that Akara was a powerful alchemist, how could he not have guessed that the space bag, which replaced the backpack of the game character, came from this woman? If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avoid seeing Akara as much as possible, why would he spend fifteen gold coins to buy a pitiful space bag?
Volod babbled and tried his best to show off his knowledge to his friends. Suddenly seeing that Lan Wu's expression was a little wrong, he was startled and asked timidly, "Could it be ...... Am I doing something wrong again? ”
"Take me to Lord Akara." Lan Wu was powerless to complain.
Volod was confused, and he didn't want to arouse the disgust of the friends he had made with great difficulty, so he had to dispel the idea of getting to the bottom of it and lead the way.
Acala's tent is located right in the middle of the camp. A small tent. In front of the tent, there are more than a dozen large and small clay pots. It looks like a tent where ordinary civilians live. The two had just walked to the tent, and her greeting had already floated inside.
"May God be with you. Come in, kids. ”
Lan Wu knew that it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it, so he completely let go. As he walked into the tent, the first thing he saw was a woman in a purple turban and a nun's robe, mixing a potion in front of the cauldron.
The crucible was steaming hot and filled with a cloudy liquid. Akara methodically picked out a little bit of the prepared powder and sprinkled it into the crucible. Every time I played a little powder, a few bubbles bubbled out of the boiling liquid, and the color deepened a little.
"Dear Lord Acala, I have brought my friend, a brave and fearless necromancer." Volod reverently bowed to Akara.
"Dear Lord Akara, my name is Lan Wu." Lan Wu was as good as a stream, and followed Volod to salute Akara.
"Wait a minute." Akara looked up apologetically and smiled. Godless eyes showed that the woman was blind. She poured an unknown liquid into the cauldron. The originally turbid liquid in the crucible suddenly turned pure azure blue. She fumbled for a glass vial and carefully poured the potion into it.
"Light mana potion." Lan Wu looked at the small bottle of potion in Akara's hand and knew it in his heart.
Volod was an honest child. Seeing that Akara was concentrating on the potion and had completed the task given to him by Akara, he voluntarily withdrew from the tent.
Lan Wu waited patiently for Akara to pour a cauldron full of light mana potions into vials. After waiting for nearly an hour, Akara had only finished the more than fifty bottles of light mana elixir.
"I'm sorry." Akara smiled apologetically. Her voice is gentle and relaxing. She walked up to Lan Wu with two bottles of light mana potions, handed them over and apologized again: "I'm just an ordinary nun, nothing good. These two bottles of light mana potions should be used as compensation for my delay for you for so long. ”
"Thank you." Lan Wu didn't refuse.
"I heard from the kid Worod that there was a career with great potential." Akara smiled with relief, "So I want to meet you." Volod was not mistaken. I can feel the magic in you. ”
Lan Wu was silent. He guessed that Akara had felt the magic attached to the fifteen bug talismans. He immediately changed the subject, took off his gloves, and took off the ring and held it in the palm of his hand: "Maybe you feel this sealed ring." I can't make out all the attributes with the Recognition Scroll. ”
Akara smiled, neither affirming nor denying. She seemed to "see" the ring, and raised her hand to touch it. After a long time, she shook her head helplessly: "The magic power of sealing this ring is very powerful. This magical structure is very old and should belong to a type of ancient magic. I don't have the power to unblock it. Perhaps Kane's vast knowledge could reveal something. After all, he was one of the last heirs of Hradim, inheriting the glorious title of Kane. He is well-versed in ancient history and knowledge, and is particularly obsessed with ancient magic. Unfortunately, he had recently set off to investigate the ancient ruins in the stone wilderness. I believe that he will also be happy to accept your commission. ”
Lan Wu's peace of mind was completely shattered by Akara's words.
Dika Kane, I believe anyone who has played Dark knows such a character. This scholar can be said to be an outlier in Camp Roger. Each player will save him from Tristram's mini-boss, Griswald. No one else but him would be so unlucky.
However, this tragic figure has the ability to completely unseal this super BUG ring, which is beyond his imagination.
Lan Wu thought of this, but he was not in a hurry. It is the norm for Kane to be captured alive by demonic creatures. Good death is still far away, and I am afraid that the mission to save Kane will be issued in the near future.
Akara mentioned Kane, and his face was a little more helpless. Obviously, a strongman like Kane with his own captured aura also gave her a lot of headaches. She sighed and changed the subject: "There is a huge threat to the camp at the moment. Since the invasion of the forces of hell thousands of years ago, the heroes of mankind have resealed the Three Demon Gods. The demonic energy from the Demon Realm still continues to infest this world. Demonic energy creates more and more demonic creatures, and it also infects more and more creatures. Recently, Rog reported that there were even quite a few undead creatures around the camp. Andariel, the archdemon who rules this territory, must be planning something. Kasha sent his most elite rog scouts to discover that the undead had come from that cavern in the Blood Wasteland. Young adventurer, would you like to go to the labyrinth of caves in the Blood Wasteland to rid the demons that have gathered in the caves? ”
"It's an honor to be able to do a little bit for humanity." Lan Wu agreed very happily. This is not a game. However, it would be nice to get the same quest as the first quest in the game. After all, I have to go out to kill monsters and upgrade.
"You have a noble heart." Akara smiled with relief. She solemnly advised: "If you find danger in the cave, please don't be impulsive. Humanity can no longer afford to lose more. I'll ask Variif to ask Jayhain for more powerful adventurers to come to Rog's camp to help. ”
"Thank you." Lan Wu was a little moved. Whether it is the game background of another world, or the mouth of Akara in this world, it can be clearly heard from her words that this wise woman is truly thinking about mankind. Everything is done in a direction that is beneficial to humanity. He already had a plan in mind on how to solve Akara's worries.
Equipment, both in the game and in the current reality, is definitely a great weapon to improve the strength level of Rog's camp. Just from the whiteboard costumes made by various blacksmiths on the market, it can be seen that the explosion rate of professionals in this world is quite low.
I don't have anything else to do. It used to be an otaku, but now it's a master who relies heavily on equipment. Going out to fight monsters and explode equipment is exactly what it does. Those fifteen bug amulets are not decorations.
"If it's okay, then I'll go out first." Lan Wu saluted and planned to leave. It is rumored that Akara's psychic eye should not be underestimated. God knows if you'll notice your anomaly.
"Wait." Akara stopped Lan Wu. She turned around and picked up a space bag from the workbench, turned back to Lan Wu and handed it over: "I heard from Volod that you lost the space bag. I happened to make one a while ago. Hope this space bag can help you. ”
Lan Wu took the space bag and saluted convincingly: "Thank you." ”
"You can go to Kasha. Maybe she can teach you Amazonian skills. Akara admonished with a smile.
Lan Wu's hair suddenly stood on end, and he raised his head suddenly. I didn't want to see that Akara had already turned around and continued to dispense the potion. He stared at Akara's back in a daze, his mind in a mess.
"Did she really see that I didn't have a skill tree?"
"She confessed my identity?"
"Don't I necessarily need to equip the skills that come with them, and I can learn them from other powerhouses?"
“……”
One thought after another flashed through my mind. Lan Wu lost his mind for a moment before he took his gaze back from Akara. He stepped out of the tent and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It doesn't matter if she really sees my abnormality or not." It would also be nice to learn Amazon's skills. ”
With that in mind, he walked towards the south side of the camp.
