Chapter 20: The God of Lights
Torchlight actually has a "hardcore" mode, where the game ends after the player dies once and cannot be continued. This model is very difficult because there are always times when people make mistakes. Huang Chao now has the feeling of playing "hardcore".
And Huang Chao has a great advantage over the game, he can freely control his body and make various actions that game characters can't do. Facing the battle directly made him highly mentally focused, and his growing intellect and calm thinking brought about by meditation made it less and less likely for him to make mistakes.
Huang Chao left the cave and used the portal directly to return to the teleportation point at the entrance of the Lost Treasure Vault. He handed the head of the manticore to the Sphinx, and the other party read another poem to the effect that "you are very scheming, hurry in and save the Guardian of Magic."
There is nothing to save, the magical patronus has been caught in another place. Huang Chao couldn't catch up with the rescue from the beginning.
He pushes with ease, and the Lost Treasury is full of traps, sharp knives will stab from the ground, roll over the blades, and self-exploding spiders will run from the walls. Burst the jar on the ground, and it is possible to run out of a dried corpse warrior.
Huang Chao sometimes has the feeling that he is "robbing tombs".
He enters the bottom of the Lost Treasury and fights the Creator. The opponent is a mechanical monster that can unleash lasers, missiles, hook claws, and what's even more terrifying, the opponent can teleport!
The two of them are caught in a teleportation battle from the very beginning. Huang Chao started in a blizzard, took the colorful magic arrow, and teleported away from the skill of dodging the creator, but he didn't expect the other party to also teleport and come directly to Huang Chao's side.
Huang Chao used the strongest dodge skill: lazy donkey rolling! He dodged the boss's giant claw swing, teleported away directly, and appeared not far away to continue to release the multicolored magic arrow.
More than a dozen lightning missiles were shot from the back of the creator, and Huang Chao's eyes were instantly filled with electric light.
Huang Chao teleported away and came behind the creator. The traps in the chamber began to activate, multiple pillars of lightning attacks surged on the ground, and a large number of self-detonating spiders poured out of the central wall.
"Oh, you can't run to the middle, hurry back to the entrance of the secret room!"
Huang Chao teleported back to the same place, and at this time, the creator teleported to the position before him, and the two happened to be staggered.
"Haha, eat my double hit." Huang Chao, who opened the distance, once again sacrificed a thunderous blizzard and colorful magic arrows......
After a fierce battle, the creator was defeated by Huang Chao, leaving behind a berserker's gold suit. Huang Chao faced the best equipment but couldn't use it, and fell into a deep depression. The creator Izumishita has knowledge, and it is estimated that he is blind to death.
Huang Chao returned to the ground, and the Sphinx told him that the magical patronus had been transferred, and asked him to quickly find a way to save him.
"If I didn't know that this was a plot design, so that players could fight monsters, I would definitely think that you were a spy on the other side......" Huang Chao complained in his heart.
He returned to Zelafis, and when he saw the patron saint of the atmosphere, he immediately said in a heavy voice:
"Atmospheric Patronus, no! The Guardian of Magic has been captured by the enemy! ”
The bird of the Atmospheric Guardian Saint had a humanized expression of surprise on his face: "I know. Why are you speaking in such a heavy tone? I thought the world was going to end......"
"Hey, since you know everything, why don't you save it?"
"It is the mission of the Celestial Favor to protect the peace of the world, Your Excellency Huang Chao, the Guardian Spirit of Magic was imprisoned in the Rift Fortress by Azerohe. They are trying to transform it into an accomplice, and if the Magical Patronus is corrupted and corrupted, the world will be destroyed! ”
"And I, to protect Zerafis, from being destroyed by the army of Azerohe!"
The Atmospheric Patronus stared at the bulb-sized eyes, and Huang Chao immediately retreated under its gaze, "I'm just complaining, don't you suddenly be so serious......"
The Guardian Deity of the Atmosphere let out a burst of "quack" laughter, and then told Huang Chao: "There is a lamp god who has wandered for hundreds of years in the saline-alkali wasteland, Faze Sha Saha, who is powerful and knowledgeable. He can undo the spell cast by the creator on the magical patronus. It's up to you to enlist his help in saving the Magical Patronus from corruption. ”
Huang Chao immediately set off, and a Zelafis woman stopped him at the gate of the city: "Great Heavenly Servant, I ask for your help. ”
"Oh...... It won't be for me to look for your husband, will it? ”
The golden mask on the woman's face trembled, and her heart was full of surprise: "How do you know?" Yes, my husband ......"
The reason why Huang Chao guessed correctly is because this is a side quest of the game. He agreed to the other party's request and went out of the city to the uninhabited wasteland.
The uninhabited wasteland is infested with gerbils and rat people. Gerbils can spawn from their nests in a steady stream, so it's important to destroy them at the right time.
Huang Chao blasted the nests of gerbils piled up one by one, and soon advanced to a huge building.
A Zerafi stopped him: "Your Excellency, I need your help. The Ezerohe have placed magical devices in the undercurrents of the earth to pollute Zerafis's water supply. We don't need to drink water, but we do use it. This polluted water corrupts our souls, but there are a lot of monsters in it......"
Zelafi people are really not human, but Huang Chao's focus is not this, he suddenly remembered that he has been living in Zelafez these days! He eats, drinks and bathes in the hotel, and if the other party succeeds, won't he also be poisoned?
Huang Chao was furious when he thought of this, and immediately wanted to destroy the poisoning device in the sewer.
The underground undercurrent is really not a place for people to stay, not to mention the disgusting smell and sticky sewage, even the half-human-tall cockroaches can make people retreat immediately. In comparison, ghosts and slimes can already be considered cute.
Cockroaches have a variety of professions such as small cannon fodder, melee combat, ranged, and mage, and Huang Chao gritted his teeth when he killed: "I hate cockroaches!" ”
His bedroom is being harassed by cockroaches, which often frightens Huang Chao. Between them, this is an enemy who is very angry when they meet, and now Huang Chao can kill each other happily, without worrying about splashing slurry and polluting the table, it is really very happy.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Huang Chao's expression was distorted, and he simply fell into the magic path.
When he cleaned up all the underground undercurrents, Huang Chao sighed: "Cool!" ”
When it was noon, the sun became extremely hot, and Huang Chao returned to Zelafes, rested at the hotel until the evening, and set out on the journey again.
Huang Chao came to the saline wasteland in the dark of night and lit up the teleportation point here.
This desert is full of comics. Huang Chao didn't go far when he met a self-proclaimed king, who was wearing a black-gray cloak and looked very mysterious:
"Hello, adventurer. I used to be king of Zerafez and Ezejoch......"
Well, Huang Chao immediately knew who he was. When playing the game, this guy said that he was the king, but he lost three masks, and he wanted the player to help him find them so that he could end the war.
At that time, Huang Chao really believed it. As a result, after completing the mission, the man turned into a villain, and said that he wanted to rule over the two races of Zerafiz and Ezerokh. After that, it was the process of fighting monsters, and it turned out that this person was actually a white bug......
Huang Chao looked at the faceless one and showed a weird smile: "Hehehe, I can finally do one thing." ”
The Faceless Faceless sensed danger in his expression, and he asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" I warn you ......"
"Hahaha! I can finally kill an NPC! ”
Huang Chao instantly teleported away from the place, and it snowed, and the colorful magic arrow aimed at the faceless "biubiubiu".
In the game, players are not allowed to attack NPC characters, and now that the freedom of the world has been greatly improved, Huang Chao immediately hit this liar.
After many years, I finally avenged the deceived, ahahaha.
The Faceless Man's robe burst open from the center and turned into a white worm, he didn't collect the previous mask, so he couldn't release the skill, and was quickly killed by Huang Chao.
He blew up some money and junk gear. Huang Chao looked up to the sky and smiled: "Although there is no experience reward for the mission this time, but killing you once, the idea is clear." ”
After this episode, Huang Chao continued to go to the location of the lamp god Fazesha.
Fazesha is also a joke, his tone is very loud, but it doesn't help much. As soon as he saw Huang Chao, he showed a look of arrogance and loneliness:
"Hello, tiny human. What do you want when you come here? ”
Huang Chao briefly recounted the circumstances of the arrest of the magic patronus.
"Well, this creator came to me and asked how to cast a spell on the Patronus, but I refused. Then he turned to my old enemy, the dastardly Izerek Khan, who had taught him an evil ritual. Still, whatever Ezrek Khan does, I can dismiss it. ”
"Creators and alchemists are hard to deal with, but to me, they're just tricks. My only enemy in this vast desert is boredom. If you want my help, you have to not make me so boring. ”
"You have to do three things to keep me entertained. The first thing to do is to travel to the Sadawasa Hill and retrieve the Miracle Lamp from the Tutara people. ”
"Do you think this lamp is powerful, and with it you don't need my help. You're wrong, it's just an ordinary lamp, I just want to see your mobility......"
Huang Chao really wanted to ask at this time: "Can I swear words?" ”
The seemingly stubborn Fazesha Sahar didn't make a move in the end, it was the player who entered the Void and killed Ezrek, and then he would say that Ezlek was defeated and the curse had weakened......
However, in order to avoid accidents, Huang Chao decided to follow his instructions and retrieve the miracle lamp.
