Chapter 494: World Alliance
This is a historic moment, the first world event in which players and NPCs participate. Of course, not all players have the honor of arriving at the site of this alliance, only a few teams that participated in this mission and completed the mission are eligible to appear at the scene of the alliance, while other players can only watch the "live broadcast".
After Xia Chiyu and the others went online, a yellow prompt immediately appeared in the system in front of them, notifying them that there was a new email, and a 2/4 sign appeared above their heads, and after clicking, the system prompted them to "The heroes who participated in the alliance mission arrived at the scene: 2/4". Obviously, there are two teams that made this alliance alive and not present.
It seems that only when all four teams are present can this alliance begin.
While it's a bit tricky to get players from different time zones around the world together, it's an exciting time for AO players, and players will be happy to wake up a little earlier or go to bed later for this occasion. What's more, it is not required that the whole group arrive at the scene, as long as one person arrives.
"Eat fish!" Liu Yiyu and the others waved at them excitedly at the door of the guild.
At this time, AO's server fell into a terrifying peak again, and after the system announced that AO's players had successfully formed an alliance and were about to start this worldwide alliance event, almost all players who could go online went online.
Xia Chiyu and others naturally also informed Liu Yiyu and Chen Feng and others that they also participated in this alliance mission, although they did not participate until the end, as long as they participated in this mission and the final mission was successful, all participating players could go to the scene, and they could also get exclusive rewards after the alliance was successful.
I have to say that there are really a lot of people in AO now, and even Xia Chiyu's Ancient Tree City is crowded with players inside and outside the guild, and everyone is discussing with great interest what this world event will be.
"Have you all gotten the teleportation stones?" Xia Chiyu asked Liu Yiyu.
"Got it. You see! Zhang Zhiwei excitedly waved the teleportation stone in his hand with spatial distortion and smiled. This stone will teleport them to the meeting site, and only players who participated in this quest will be able to obtain this stone.
"Ah...... I still haven't washed my mask. Xiao You yawned lazily, and then instantly became energetic: "However, it's worth staying up late for this moment!" This is the first time in the four years since the launch of the AO server that players can participate in a historic world! And we are also qualified to be there in person! How can this great opportunity be wasted! ”
"Even though we're just eating the fish......," Pepe said with a wry smile.
"What is not stained is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, at this time, another group of people squeezed over from the crowd surrounded by the City of Ancient Trees.
"Borrow, borrow! Thank you! Chen Feng's voice sounded from the crowd, and then before he could completely squeeze out of the crowd, he saw Xia Chiyu at the door of the guild, so he waved the teleportation stone in his hand excitedly: "Eat fish!" You see. I've got this teleportation stone too! I can actually go to the alliance site! I'm not dreaming! ”
"It's only ten o'clock, and you're starting to dream?" Lin Qianxue next to Xia Chiyu smiled angrily.
"No, I'm so excited...... "Tatsukaze clenched the teleportation stone in his hand and said, "I'm really ...... when I think that I actually had the opportunity to witness this moment of AO in person I'm going to shed tears of emotion......"
However, having said that, Tatsukaze's tears had already flowed.
"Hey, as for it, that's a bit too much, isn't it? The big man's ......" Gu Qinyan said with a helpless sigh.
"But everybody's excited. Aren't you happy? Lacey also asked with great interest.
At this moment, a circle of screams rang out from the crowd of players, and dozens of players flew out. Just as everyone was thinking about who would dare to find fault in the territory of the Four Demon Kings, another circle of ice storms spread. The cold wind came towards them, causing Xia Chiyu and the others to tremble for a while, while the players in front of them were blown to both sides and fell dizzy.
Forthwith. Nadya walked out of the crowd with a smile, crossed her waist proudly and smiled, "Oh, tonight is really lively." Do you want me to cool everyone down? ”
"Good. So that everyone is here. Su Xing smiled proudly, raised the stone in his hand, and was just about to speak, when Nadya slapped him and rolled twice and hit the wall on the side.
"Can you get out of here? Only eating fish can speak at this moment. Nadya said coldly, and then smiled at Xia Chiyu.
"Ahem......" Xia Chiyu coughed embarrassedly twice, and then said: "Then, after half a month of repeated attempts, there were failures halfway, but in the end it was successful." So, let's head to that place of glory and witness this historic moment of AO, shall we? ”
As he spoke, Xia Chiyu picked up the teleportation stone in his hand. Zhang Zinuo and the others at the scene responded in unison, and then raised the teleportation stone in their hands with Xia Chiyu. A burst of white light enveloped them, and the landscape in front of them began to shift, and when the scene finally stopped spinning, they also appeared in a forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, they could see a dilapidated temple in front of them.
The edge of the temple was already densely packed with sixty or seventy players, and it should be the other two team members who had completed the alliance mission. These players were also very excited, and when they saw that they had teleported here, they hurriedly waved their hands and urged them to hurry up and prepare to participate in this meeting in various Chinese languages.
Of course, Xia Chiyu and the four of them were surrounded by everyone at the forefront and entered this temple.
The walls of the temple are covered with murals and unknown texts that record the first great battles between humans and gods and demons.
And in the central area of the temple, there is a dilapidated stone table, somewhat similar to King Arthur's round table. It's just that now sitting around that round table are representatives of various races, and the representative of the human race is none other than the Space-Time Lord Larufal...... of the shadows. Since the old man is dead, his body is a translucent image of time and space.
The representatives of the other four races are the new kings of the clan elected by Xia Chiyu and them during the mission.
Saladin, king of the dwarves? The queen of lava and elves, the upper elf of the elves, Soraka? Huguang, the patriarch of the dragon people, Osa? Lan Lin and the patriarch of the orc clan, Si Kop? Sharp Tooth, except for Larufal, each patriarch is followed by two ranks"?? There are also four boss-level guards with a level of 100 behind him.
It is clear that there is no room for contention in this meeting. But in fact, there is no need for this, because the patriarchs of the various clans on the scene are in a friendly state and cannot attack them.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xia Chiyu took a look at the orcs and dragonmen by the way.
Orcs are not rugged-looking orcs with green skin and sharp teeth like in World of Warcraft, but half-orcs with the upper body of wolves, tigers, and leopards and human physiques, but the women are unusually petite and cute, with only a few beastly features, such as ears, claws, and tails. It looks like a cat-eared lady or a rabbit-eared girl.
The male orcs are majestic and mighty, while the female orcs are cute and sexy, and both men and women will love this appearance setting very much. Presumably, this race will be very popular after it is opened.
As for the dragonmen, they are actually different from those dragonmen who have been tempted by the ancient dragons and fallen, they are not the kind of monsters with the head of a dragon and the size of a human, and their bodies are covered with scales, they basically still maintain their human form, but some parts of their bodies will be covered with dragon scales, like a layer of armor. Depending on the profession, the thickness and coverage of the armor also varies.
And Xia Chiyu heard that dragonmen can't actually wear armor, their scales are armor. Because of these condensed dragonmen group. In fact, it is those humans who have broken free from the dragon's control and their minds have become free, and most of them have degenerated into human appearances because they have regained their humanity.
But the limbs of dragonmen are slightly different from normal humans. Their palms and soles have begun to transform into dragon claws.
In fact, in terms of appearance, the dragon people look particularly handsome, because their dragon scales and dragon claw-like limbs make them look as if they are wearing a majestic dragon xing armor.
Xia Chiyu thinks. Probably the least popular in terms of appearance are the dwarves. The dwarven male beard is five big and three thick, but probably to take into account the feelings of female players, the dwarf female is not the kind of short and fat aunt. Rather, it is somewhat similar to female gnomes, which are the kind of small and cute type, and will probably be loved by female players.
And the elves are naturally decent, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure. It's just that in terms of figure, the male elf is obviously a little feminine, and the appearance is too delicate, more like a flat-chested woman......
"Well, the warriors are here." Larufal finally began the conversation: "This temple, thousands of years ago, also hosted such a conference that connected the world. On that occasion, we won a great victory. However, great sacrifices have also been made. Not only during the war, but also after the war. ”
"We have done a lot of stupid things, betraying our former allies, killing each other, allowing the flames of war to engulf the world, repeating the history of the past, and the future will repeat the mistakes of the past. This is the sin we are carrying. However, in the face of a common enemy, we can always come together, we can always be reunited in this place, not because of love, not because of some noble ideals, nor because we choose tolerance and forgiveness, but just a very simple truth...... Survive. ”
"Our enemies are very powerful, and they have dominated the world for a time in the past. But with wisdom and unity, we were victorious and free from body to mind. But now, these enemies are back. And we are united again to continue to fight against them for survival......"
"The enemy is far more powerful than you think, and we may die in this war, but ...... Young heroes, no matter how terrible the battle is, do not forget the glory. These enemies, lurking in the shadows, waiting to kill us all, us, our families, our children, that's what they're going to do. ”
"And what will we do? We will resist to the death, we will never give up, we are a united whole, we will win, and they will lose! As he spoke, all the NPCs on the scene raised their weapons in their hands and let out an angry shout, under the backdrop of such a scene and atmosphere, Xia Chiyu only felt that his blood was boiling in an instant.
"Wow...... My face was numb. Nadya whispered excitedly behind Xia Chiyu. And Zhang Zinuo beside her pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to spoil the atmosphere at the moment, after all, so many players on the scene remained silent, and there were still many players watching the "live broadcast" through the magic crystal. So Nadya nodded quickly and quieted down again.
As he spoke, Larufal turned to the leaders of the various tribes at the scene: "Back then. In order to express their ambition to form an alliance, each clan has put together the treasures of one clan. In the same way, in order to express their ambition for this alliance, the warriors returned these treasures to the tribes. This time, all we need is a promise, for the sake of common survival. ”
Saladin abroad of the dwarves? Lava raised the battle axe in his hand and said in a deep voice, "In the name of the earth and lava, for the sake of Ezes, I will fight our enemies together with all races!" ”
Soraka, the queen of the elves? Huguang said softly: "For the continuation and cycle of life in this world, I will first use all my strength. ”
Ossa, the patriarch of the Dragonmen? Lan Lin clenched his fists. In a deep voice: "For freedom and will!" We will give our blood and bones! ”
The patriarch of the orc race, Skop? Sharp Tooth let out a low roar: "As a warrior, dying on the battlefield with glory is the perfect ending!" There is no better place to go than this war! ”
"Very well, I declare, the World Alliance, concluded again." Larufal said, reaching out and pressing it on the table, and a golden light emerged from under his hand: "However, I am already a dead man, and this is the end of the history of the past I represent. The future of the world...... The rest of history will be ...... by you."
As he spoke, Larufal pointed at the players on the scene, his eyes radiating a terrifying light.
"History after that. It will be up to you to write. This is the end of my mission...... Larufal said, his figure slowly fading, "and the name of each hero is recorded on this scroll...... I give you my last treasure. I hope these treasures will help you defeat those powerful enemies......"
Immediately, Larufal's figure finally disappeared completely, leaving only a golden parchment on the table.
And the walls of the temple suddenly emitted a golden light. On those empty walls, several new murals appeared, on which recorded the scene of today's alliance. And the list of drops emerges from every player on the scene.
Xia Chiyu observed that this drop list was indeed full of good things. The first is a set of "brave suits", all of which are level eighty-five purple equipment, weapons, armor, and jewelry, enough for players to arm from teeth to toes, and the appearance of this set of equipment is quite exquisite, and it is very handsome without transmogrification.
What's more, in terms of rarity, this is equipment that only more than a hundred players on the scene have, and there is no transformation that is more precious than this set of equipment. Moreover, this set of equipment has a set of additional attributes, which can make players with the entire set of equipment become "hero classes" in any scenario campaign, greatly increasing the player's various attributes.
In addition to equipment, each player also received a rare mount from the patriarchs of the four races.
This mount can be chosen from one of four types: the Elven Unicorn, the Orc's Fiery Warhorse, the Dragonman's Golden Dragon, and the Dwarven's Steam Tank. Not only are each mount out-of-print, exclusive, and dual-use, but they also have a unique appearance and additional special effects.
The unicorn of the elven clan can quickly restore health and eliminate fatigue when riding.
The Blazing Horses are a group of horses surrounded by flames, and their speed is ten percent faster than that of normal mounts.
The golden auspicious dragon is a golden oriental dragon, and this is also a rare product of China's unique style, although there is no special effect, but the appearance is definitely enough to pull the wind.
The last dwarven steam tank is ten percent slower than a normal mount, but it can carry up to four players at a time, and the steam tank can attack monsters, with its own health and attack power.
Each mount is so unique, but you can only choose one of four.
"Ah, it's so distressing. Which one should you choose? Zhang Zinuo said with a small face in embarrassment, turned to Xia Chiyu and asked, "What about you, which one are you going to choose?" ”
"I'm going to choose the Blazing War Horse, it's faster." Xia Chiyu said simply.
For him, if the speed of the mounts is the same, then having a thousand mounts is no different from having one.
"I want to choose the Golden Dragon!" Su Xing said proudly, "Huaxia style!" This look is Dora style! It's still a local tyrant gold! Go out and ...... my sister must be necessary" Speaking of this, Su Xing felt the murderous aura behind him, and quickly changed his words: "I mean pretending to be a must!" ”
"I'm going to pick a unicorn," Lacey said with a smile, "because Enron wants to take a unicorn walk with me." ”
"Then I'll choose the steam tank," Gu Qinyan said lightly, "I won't repeat it with you, and it's more convenient to travel this way." ”
Players were discussing which mounts they wanted to choose, but everyone was on the same page: they wanted to have all four.
"Okay, think about the players who watch the live broadcast, they can only stare dryly, okay?" Chen Feng couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Okay, let's hurry up and mount the mount and pretend to be forced!" ”
However, these mounts, like the other mounts in the AO, can be traded before they are acquired and used.
Out of the 200 million AO players, only a little more than 100 people own these mounts, so you can imagine how much the price of these mounts will be speculated upon. Coupled with those obsessive-compulsive collectors, they will probably collect all four mounts, and I'm afraid it will set off a bloody storm in AO, and crooks and robbers will do everything.
So, this means that there are probably a lot of players here today who will choose to wait for the time to sell the mount instead of using it themselves. But Xia Chiyu and the four of them didn't have this plan, because this mount was a symbol of honor.
However, what made Xia Chiyu curious was that Larufal's disappearance was a bit too early and did not trigger the next task......
However, just when Xia Chiyu was thinking this, the crystal ball in front of them suddenly lit up.
"I knew you were going to be here together." Sira's figure emerged from the crystal ball's reflection, "This is better, let you see the disaster you are about to face." ”
"I'm going to tell you a terrible truth." As she spoke, Sira waved her hand, and the scene shifted to a village, where Sira was holding a beating black heart the size of a watermelon, and Xia Chiyu was suddenly shocked.
That heart was the "seed" that was cultivated that day with the alchemist's body as a petri dish!
"Do you think that the dry sleep of the demons is to drain the water from the body and fall asleep like a mummy? No, you're thinking too simply. Sila smirked, and picked up a black rice-grained seed from her hand, but it was about the size of a rugby ball. Immediately, Sira raised her right hand, and a human with a numb expression floated up to her.
"Actually, the vitality of the demon race is very strong, so strong that you can't imagine it. Even if they are beheaded, they will not necessarily die. After the defeat of the war that year, most of the demons blocked their power in this 'devil's egg' in order to avoid death. "It's like a seed, give it the right fertilizer......"
As she spoke, Sira pressed the devil's egg on the villager's body, and saw that the devil's egg seemed to be integrated into the villager's body, and the green tendons on the villager's body immediately erupted wildly, as if flesh and blood were flowing down the green tendons to the devil's egg.
"Of course, even if that's the case, it will take a while for the demons to wake up." Sira smiled and said, "However, if there is a suitable catalyst...... "Sira shook the black heart in her hand, "the demons can awaken in an instant." ”
With that, Cira threw the black heart on the ground, and a circle of black mist instantly filled the image of the crystal ball.
After that, they could only hear all kinds of heart-rending screams and creepy tearing sounds from the crystal ball, only Cia's voice was particularly clear: "As the new queen of the demon race, I will give you a month to think about it, and those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die." Those who surrender will be kept in captivity like pigs, but they will be able to live; Those who disobey me...... Only death! ”
"And if you don't give me an answer in this place after a month, then, every other day, a town will be destroyed by the demons. Ladies and gentlemen, think about it. (To be continued.) )
