Chapter 349: The City
"This fragment of the magic mirror..."
John Joyce looked up hesitantly and projected the detailed description of the item in the form of a projection in the air, allowing his teammates to see, "It doesn't seem to have the function of controlling or affecting the mind." β
"Huh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Is there a problem with the statue?" Or is it that the statue and mirror fragments can produce a special effect? β
"According to the above description, there are a total of six magic mirror fragments, and they are all located in the territory of the Rune Kingdom, which means that we don't need to run far to get them all."
Julia whispered, "The mirror fragment we got is numbered (6). It is not known what the meaning of this number is.
Is it a meaningless random distribution, or is it automatically divided according to the order in which we start.
What are the differences between the different numbered mirror fragments? β
The smoker hesitated and said, "The system description says that collecting more mirror fragments can unlock more special effects. And the mirror (6) we got happened to have the ability to perceive other fragments.
I think it may have been a deliberate effort to set our initial teleportation location in the forest quite close to the town of Hamelin. β
"Is it a disguised way to prompt the player with quest information?"
Leon nodded, silently pondering.
Since mirror shards can't fit into the package, it's very likely that the Ice Queen isn't nearly omniscient in the realms of the kingdoms, as the lumberjack describes.
Otherwise, she could have relied on the mirror fragments to lock the player's location and directly find these suspicious-looking outsiders who were still collecting magic mirrors.
Judging from her expressiveness in fairy tales, players who face the Ice Queen in advance are expected to die miserably.
I also wore it and sent it over to dry an egg, so I just found a place to bury myself.
It is more likely that the Ice Queen has no way of knowing the location of the magic mirror.
Maybe she couldn't in the first place, or maybe she wasn't in a good state right nowβafter all, according to the lumberjacks, it had been a long, long time since she had left the palace and appeared in front of the world.
Leon thought for a moment and said to John Joyce, "You use a little strength to test whether the magic mirror fragments are strong." β
"Hmm."
John instantly understood what the other party meant, carefully pinched the corner of the mirror, and found that this piece of fragment was almost indestructible.
Even if he gradually increased his strength, he couldn't make the mirror appear to deform in any way.
"It's hard."
John Joyce shook his head, "I guess this kind of sturdy setting should be inherent to the Magic Mirror, not an added attribute of the system.
This makes up for the fact that it has no way to fit in a package and can only be carried around. β
He could fully understand the reason why the system was set up this way, if the magic mirror could be packed into a package by the player,
As long as the player in the team who gets the mirror shard refuses to cooperate, puts the shard in the package, and refuses to take it out, the others will never be able to complete the task.
Since it can only be placed in the outside world, the fragments should also have indestructible attributes, otherwise if they collide slightly, the mirror will be completely shattered into slag, how can the player continue the mission?
These implicit settings of the system are actually a disguised task prompt, and several players present are not rookies, so they immediately breathed a sigh of relief after a little analysis, and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Since it's very likely that the Ice Queen can't be omniscient, we have a lot more room to operate."
Leon rubbed his hands together and said to John Joyce, "Try the 'Sense Other Pieces' effect of the item's description. β
"Okay."
John Joyce closed his eyes, held his breath, his hands gripping the fragments, and his mouth tightened.
In a moment, the mirror fragments lit up, projecting a three-dimensional projection similar to a satellite bird's-eye view, clearly depicting a vast expanse of land and a total of six points of light scattered throughout.
Soon, the three-dimensional projection gradually dimmed, and John Joyce breathed a sigh of relief and said to the others: "Just inject a little spiritual power into the mirror to reveal the map, and this cost is negligible for advanced players.
And it doesn't seem to have any cooldown, so you can take it out at any time. β
He scratched his head, "According to the satellite map, all the mirror fragments should be placed inside the churches in the major towns of the Kingdom of Rune.
That means we'll probably have to go to all the towns and churches to get the pieces. β
"This may not be easy."
Julia frowned, "According to the various murals inside the church and the information revealed by the people in this world, this time the script world changed from fairy tales,
It is likely that there are a variety of anomalous creatures and supernatural powers.
Gnolls, trolls, griffins, ogres, whatever.
And these demons, who were supposed to oppress humans in the Dark Ages, now seem to have been completely suppressed by the human side, and can even be 'captive'.
Removing the Ice Queen's natural calamity-level strength, the hidden power possessed by the several major principalities of the human race is probably not bad. β
Humans who can suppress demons in the Dark Ages, and even establish a prosperous civilization, are definitely not weak, and are likely to have extraordinary strength.
What's more, as the ruler of this land, the Snow Queen's church will be worshipped and protected as it should.
Leaving aside remote towns like Hamelin, churches located in large cities are expected to have stronger security guards.
Although several players are good at stealth and combat, they still don't have the confidence to directly and violently crush and forcibly seize the mirror fragments in the face of several kingdoms that are completely unclear.
"Let's think about it for the long term."
Li Ang said: "Every city has to be visited, which means that the system gives us hidden time to complete the task, which is actually quite abundant.
There is no rush for a day or two. β
"Hmm."
John Joyce nodded, hesitated and said to Leon, "Uh, do you want me to give you the broken skin, it will feel safer to put on you." β
He actually wanted to put it on himself, but the yellow double that had hoisted Bob up and hammered him could now levitate in the air, staring at him with an indifferent look.
John was very suspicious that if he tried to get the mirror off, the double would not hesitate to rush over him, lift his own foot and neck, and smash him everywhere like a meteor hammer.
"Huh."
Leon smiled kindly, "It's okay, you can take it, after all, we are a united and friendly team, and we must trust each other." β
I believe you have a ghost!
John glanced at Bob, who had just eaten a bug, and shouted in his heart.
