Chapter Forty-Eight: Slakana
After a while, the wooden door opened automatically with a "creak".
"Come in, young mage." A very soft female voice came out of the room, in the old lingua franca.
Wang Mo raised his feet and walked into the house, when he walked into this hut, he received a lot of system prompts, there are many magic settings in the hut, including a rotating eyeball inlaid on the wooden door, which allows the mage to see the visitors outside the door, the broom in the house is magically floating in the air, and the dust on the bookshelf and floor is automatically cleaned, as if there is an invisible big hand holding them, it looks like the home of a mage who likes to use arcane arts everywhere in his life.
The cabin was very clean, and the inside of the room was quite spacious, completely different from the dilapidated look outside, after all, high-level arcane mages were people who could easily play with space and time, with a row of bookshelves neatly placed on the walls, colorful magic lamps hanging on the wooden ceiling, and a clean carpet on the floor.
Wang Mo used magic tricks to clean the dust off his boots, and then walked in.
What appeared in front of Wang Mo's eyes was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, this female mage had long light blue hair, silkily draped over her shoulders, and a faint softness on her fair and delicate face, there was no trace of wrinkles left to her by the years, only the mature charm and graceful and elegant temperament.
The female mage was wearing a loose light blue mage robe, sitting at a wooden table, with a pair of delicate glasses on the bridge of her white nose, as if she was reading a book, and when she saw Wang Mo coming in, she raised her head and showed him a kind smile.
If you are a player with an undetermined mind, seeing a beauty of this level, even if you know that the other party is an NPC, you may lose your temper, but Wang Mo knows it very well, although she looks like she is only twenty or thirty years old, but speaking of which, she is a person who has existed in the undead natural disaster, and if you really count it, this is probably one of the few mages in the world who survived in the magic age.
It is not too difficult for a wise and erudite mage to reach the same level of lifespan as a dragon, let alone a mage in the age of magic.
Every mage in the legend of Kalandor who survives the age of magic is a huge secret treasure for mage players, and these mage NPCs often contain clues about the mage class's hidden advanced professions and high-level equipment, and may even be epic missions, so this kind of NPC is known to almost every player in the later stage.
Slakana Green, an arcane mage at the end of the magic age, her lifespan is as long and thick as history, and there are too many secrets hidden in her body, this female mage was discovered by the player in her previous life when she was still in the middle of the game, and the person who found her was none other than the god of arcane law at that time - Shilo.
Soon after Shiro discovered her, the secret of the female mage became known to all players, and legend has it that she was another arcane mage in the Eleven team, and during the adventure, Slakana and the Mystic Sage fell in love with each other, mixed with a poignant love affair.
What is the specific, Wang Mo didn't pay attention to it, but it was rumored that the Flame Sage and the Secret Sage fell in love with this female mage who was the little sister at the time, but Slakana only had the Secret Sage in her heart, and the Flame Sage could only be alone for the friendship of the team, although everyone could see it, but no one said it.
When the battle of the end came, Slakana was the only one among the twelve adventurers who did not get the strength of the force, when the people of this adventurous team stepped on the battlefield, Slakana who insisted on going to the battlefield was locked in the Great Imprisonment Technique by the Arcane Sage, where is the power of the Arcane Sage that this little mage at that time can compete with, the Brilliant City is full of smoke, but Slavana can only be in the hotel of Orlando, blocked by the Great Imprisonment Technique.
At the end of the war, the soul of the undead sage was scattered, the secret sage fell into a coma, and the remaining eight adventurers were scattered, and the flame sage took the unconscious secret sage to the inn and lifted Slakana's great confinement with his own hands, and no one knew what happened after that, only that after that, the flame sage and the secret sage both disappeared, and Slakana settled in the Enchanted Garden area.
There are a lot of curious players about this story - or more obscene people who speculate if the Flame Sage did something to Slakana, and even many people ask the Flame King Ember who has received the Flame Sage's power inheritance for this reason, but most of them go happily and come back burned into a pile of ashes by the Flame Sage technique.
Of course, if the player wants to understand an NPC, the most interesting thing is not her story, but more to see what she can bring to the player, Wang Mo came to Slakana for what she can bring him.
"You're Ms. Green?" Wang Mo walked to the middle of the hut, put down his staff, and said politely in the ancient lingua franca.
"Yes, I am." Slakana asked as she took off her glasses, placed them gently on the table, and turned her head.
"That's right." Wang Mo organized his words and said, "The Mage of the Tower of Glory thinks that the Ring of Magic Power needs a few rookie mages to maintain it, otherwise Sodor will definitely go crazy." ”
The mage Modoc in Wang Mo's mouth is actually the mage who is responsible for maintaining and supervising the magic ring in the Mage Tower of the Brilliant City, but this guy is not in the City of Glory all year round, and only when the player in the game discovers Slakana, he will appear in the Mage Tower of the Brilliant City, at this time the player can find him and receive a task, let the player find Slakana, so that Slakana can open the portal to the Alien Plane.
This so-called heterotopic plane is actually an unformed semi-material plane discovered by the mystical sage when he traveled on the plane, this plane is very weak, after the mystical sage discovered this plane, this small space of less than dozens of square meters is overflowing with the most primitive and violent arcane energy, and in these energies there is a plane beast, that is, Suo Duo in Wang Mo's mouth.
Sodor feeds on the raging arcane energy, but what he excretes is the purest and most powerful arcane energy, and later the arcane sage binds this plane to the tower of splendor of Kalan's many faces, and this plane that is constantly drifting in space is finally finalized, and the amount of pure mana excreted by Sodor is used by the mages of the tower of splendor.
So in the Tower of Splendour, NPC mages are almost never short of blue.
This heterotopic plane called the Ring of Magic is not too big after years of growth, it sounds like a very high-end appearance, but it is not difficult to enter at all, the entire legend of Karlando only Slakana has the ability to open the portal to the Ring of Magic, and the Ring of Magic itself is only a small copy of the eighth level, this copy is a small copy of five people, and it is only open to mages, and other professions have no chance to come in at all.
As long as the player comes to Slakana with Modok's words, Slakana will open the portal after the conversation, allowing the player to enter the dungeon, and later some players are too lazy to go to the Mage Tower to find Modok, and the direct "fake holy decree" can also make Slakana open the door, there is no difference.
"That's right." Slakana stood up and examined Wang Mo, a smile rising at the corner of her mouth, "Do you look energetic and ready for battle, young mage." ”
"Yes, ma'am," Wang Mo said as he gently pestled the ground with his staff.
"So, as the executor of this mission, I think you have the right to get some ...... from me Well, magic items. Slakana turned to a cabinet and muttered.
An inventory appeared in front of Wang Mo's eyes for a moment, with some good magic items on it, but unfortunately they were all marked as being able to be used only in the magic ring, these items players can choose one, and they don't need to pay any currency when choosing, they are all completely free, but the lack of this item is very big for the difficulty increase, so whether you choose to take the item or not, in fact, also directly corresponds to the difficulty of the dungeon.
If you choose one item, then it is the magic ring of normal difficulty, and if you don't choose it at all, it is the magic ring of hero difficulty, and this level eight five people only have these two difficulties.
"That's it, you can choose whatever you want, young mage." Slakana turned, gently pulled a narrow wand from her sleeve, and with a flick of it, a series of items flew out of the cabinet and placed them on the table.
Wang Mo looked at the inventory and shook his head secretly, now he is going to start drawing a prize, if this prize is drawn, he will have a very good reward, even if he doesn't win, it doesn't matter, every mage player only has one chance to draw, that is, the first time he proposed to Slakana to enter the magic ring, whether he won or not, the second time Slakana will not give the player this chance.
This so-called lottery is actually a hidden plot plot, if the mage player is seeing Slakana for the first time, at this time, as long as the player mentions the secret sage to Slakana, Slakana will officially enter the play, and after some communication, two results will occur.
The first is that the player's character is not good, so after wasting time and talking for a while, there is still nothing to gain.
There is also a very, very small chance that after a bit of deep conversation, Slavana will open up a new inventory to the player, which is also free, but unlike the previous one, you can choose any of the same items, but you can take the item out of the box and use it at any time.
According to the official statement, this is a small gift from Slakana to thank the player for accompanying her to reminisce.
But when this hidden plot was revealed on the forum, it was this small gift and small chance that made countless mage players come to this hut one after another to draw a lottery, just because a rookie in a previous life accidentally got a powerful legendary spell scroll here......
However, each player only has one chance, and the second time the player returns, Slakana will refuse to continue to talk to the player about the past, but despite this, in the past life, it was rumored every once in a while that mage had obtained something here, mostly powerful magic equipment and spell scrolls, but also something else.
The most awesome players have ever gotten epic mage gear here, and that's definitely a blast of luck.
Of course Wang Mo didn't want to let go of this opportunity, epic equipment and spell scrolls, he was also very greedy, how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime lottery opportunity.
Ms. Green...... I would like to ask, please, do you remember the Esoteric Sage? Wang Mo pondered his words for a while, and asked as much as he could according to the strategy, his voice was very soft.
Slakana's fingers that were counting items paused in mid-air for a moment, the expression on her face froze, and her body trembled slightly, as if due to the emotion of her master, Slakana's slender fingertips burst out with a little blue arcane brilliance.
Wang Mo carefully observed her expression, and then continued, "Can you tell me the story of the Secret Law Sage?" ”
Wang Mo's expression and performance were completely like a rookie mage apprentice, naturally revealing his admiration for his predecessors and heroes, as if he wanted to talk to Slavana about the secret sage, just to satisfy his respect and curiosity for the hero.
"Thunder...... Rex ...... "Slakana's breathing gradually became a little rapid, and after a while, she took a deep breath, stopped her unconscious murmuring, and turned her head to look at Wang Mo.
Wang Mo secretly showed a smile, and it was done, and then Slakana would probably start talking to the player about the Secret Sage, and he could also follow it logically, and then wait for his own luck.
Wang Mo in his previous life also came to draw a lottery, as an elemental mage, he could also have a chance to draw a lottery, but unfortunately, he didn't get anything, and he was delayed for dozens of minutes in vain.
A faint smile appeared on Slakana's graceful face, and that smile seemed to contain a trace of confusion, a hint of happiness and nostalgia for memories, but it was this smile that made Wang Mo suddenly feel something not quite right in his heart.
When Wang Mo in his previous life came to find Slakana, he remembered that she obviously didn't have this kind of expression on her face, and she was completely telling the player some clips about the arcane sage like telling a story.
"Young mage, do you also know the secret sage of the Dao?" Slakana smiled softly.
"Of course, in the entire Good and Orderly Alliance, everyone knows the Eleven Sages." When Wang Mo heard Slakana's question, he still subconsciously followed the procedure and said.
"Eleven Sages...... Are your brothers and sisters so famous now......" Slakana's face was filled with faint remembrance and contemplation, "So, mage, are you aiming to be a secret sage and practicing spells hard to accumulate combat experience in order to protect the alliance of goodness and order?" ”
Wang Mo suddenly wondered in his heart, this is not what Slakana should say at this time, if she is not mistaken, she should ask the player if she wants to know the story of the secret sage of the secret law, but now Slakana is obviously asking such a question, which is completely different from what Wang Mo remembers.
"It's my responsibility and obligation." Wang Mo nodded, and subconsciously replied according to the program language, "I have been working hard with this goal. ”
Of course, this is a programming language, otherwise a player will work for NPCs all his life unless he is stupid, but these are not important, Wang Mo is puzzled and shocked by the change of hidden plot.
"System Prompt: Slakana has increased her opinion of you by 10 points."
Slakana's favorability, Wang Mo's heart jumped, of course he knew what this was, every NPC has a different favorability for each player, from the monarch of the kingdom to the commoners, and the role of these people's favorability is also varied, and the favorability can be improved in many ways, and it is not difficult to improve the favorability of ordinary NPCs.
But in his previous life, Wang Mo had never heard that Slakana also had a favorability, as a strong person in the hidden NPC, countless players used various methods to improve Slakana's favorability, but in the end, no one succeeded, and even 1 point was not raised, but Wang Mo just wanted to draw a lottery, so he inexplicably improved his favorability?
"So, young junior, do you cherish your companions?" Slakana raised her head, looked directly into Wang Mo's dark eyes, and asked softly, revealing an unknown vicissitudes in her tone.
At that moment, Wang Mo seemed to be enchanted, he seemed to read something from Slakana's eyes, but after a while, he was shocked, came back to his senses, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart, which made him instantly shocked.
Is it because he was the first person to trigger this hidden plot?
Because the first person to mention the secret sage to Slakana, did it trigger this unique plot, if so, then everything in the previous life can be reasonably explained, if only the first person who discovered Slakana has the opportunity to trigger this plot, then it is impossible for later people to trigger it again, and the content of this plot will be buried in Xiluo's heart forever, and it is the most reasonable possibility to explain it in this way, whether it is reasonable or reasonable.
Wang Mo took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Yes, I cherish my companions. ”
What Xiluo got in this hidden plot in his previous life, Wang Mo didn't know what he did, but what he did know was that maybe the answer would be revealed in a while.
