Chapter 40: Some Small Questions
The shadows flowed rapidly, from one shadow to another, silently.
After a while, it finally left the city of Tarakhan, and in an unnoticed corner of the wall turned into mist, and with a slight shock, it reverted to the appearance of a tiger.
"The harmony scroll works well, there are five or six minutes left!" he praised, and his overly ornate outfit became the dress of an ordinary pedestrian, his white hair turned into tan hair, and even his handsome appearance became unremarkable, belonging to the type that walks in the crowd like a drop of water flowing into the sea.
Then he walked briskly down the road, and soon walked away.
After a short time, he reverted back to his original form and returned to the village where the travelers had temporarily used it as a stronghold.
After coming back, he immediately came to Heyin, Wumian and a few other people who were concentrating on studying the data and pondering the strategy, and thanked them.
"You've helped me design the identity and lines!" he said happily, "completely scaring the guys in the shop and the adventurers who came to do business!, if nothing else, I'll be able to go again in a while!"
"Do you still have money?" asked Sleepless in surprise.
He remembered that the tiger had gone to buy the demon knife "Wrath of the Jungle", and although the knife was unlucky, it was also an enchanted weapon, and the price would never be cheap.
The Tiger's net worth is not very good - in fact, the traversers are not very rich. Although they rely on the castle and have a stable income, the castle can produce not much gold coins per day, and the chairman of the three more is also very tight. He's not stingy at all, but if he wants to buy an enchanted weapon, he can't do it.
If it weren't for the fact that they swept a few bandit camps on the way here, and the panda generously donated a lot of money, the tiger really wouldn't have the confidence to go to Tara Khan City to buy that demon knife.
Sleepless wasn't sure how much the demon knife was worth, but the tiger had just bought this enchanted weapon, and he turned around to buy something else...... Where did the tiger get so much money?
"Could it be...... You turned the scroll I gave you into a mist and went in and stole something?" Kazune asked, thinking of something.
Before leaving, Tiger asked him to help make a "Dark Guardian" scroll. This spell can neither attack nor defend, and has the sole effect of allowing races that lose their special abilities in sunlight to temporarily avoid the effects of sunlight and restore their special abilities.
As a vampire lord, although the tiger can walk freely in the sun and fight with people, if you want to use the natural ability of the race, you still have to avoid the sun after all. With the help of this special spell, he was able to use his abilities in broad daylight, turning into shadows and changing his appearance.
Unfortunately, spells like Dark Guardian have extremely long cooldowns, calculated by month. After he used the scroll this time, this spell would no longer be effective for him for the next half a month.
And there are actually a lot of problems with this spell, and the biggest problem is that it shouldn't have been studied at this time in time.
According to the game's plot, a necromantic sage researched this spell, and then quickly spread it in the realm of necromancy. Possessing the ability to resist sunlight, the necromantic army launched an attack on the human world.
At this point in time, the use of this spell also has the meaning of experimentation.
If you use it once in a while, it's called an experiment, and if you use it constantly, you're going to die.
Listening to Kazune's inquiry, Tiger shook his head with a smile and recounted his experience in the store.
After finishing speaking, he also took out the short knife with more spirituality than evil qi for everyone to enjoy.
"I see!" Kazune suddenly realized, "It seems that our actions will not affect the normal order of time in this world. As long as we are not disturbed, what should happen when it will still happen. ”
"Always think about the butterfly effect. Sleepless said
"The butterfly effect is actually the same as Schrödinger's cat, it is misunderstood. Kazune shook his head, "Compared with the agitation of the whole system by subtle events, the inertia of the system itself is actually a more powerful force. It's like in most countries around the world, car accidents happen every day, but these car accidents don't have a big impact on the whole country. Even if the train derails and suffers heavy casualties, it will not cause obvious obstacles to national politics. ”
This is more profound, even if everyone is in the same strategy group, there are not many people who can really study these things.
At least, sleepless has not been studied.
He mainly studies the direction of the mission, and does not really study the details of the setting and the like.
So he didn't argue, he just said, "It's hard to say this kind of thing, and there's nothing wrong with being careful." ”
"You're right,......" Kazuin thought for a moment and said, "But what needs to be done has to be done after all, and since we have come to this world, we are the biggest variable." If you don't do anything because you're afraid of change and lose your own initiative, you'll suffer. ”
Sleepless smiled, not dwelling on this question that had been discussed countless times before, and turned to look at the tiger: "It seems that my craftsmanship is still reasonable, and I can consider making more things in the future and taking them out to fool people." ”
The trinket that the tiger had exchanged with the rupee for the cursed knife had come from the hand of Sleepless.
Strictly speaking, it is not the work of a sleepless man. The silver wire shell was made by a traveler who didn't bother to leave the castle after crossing over, and focused on studying crafts. Before going out this time, he stuffed several pieces of his own work into everyone, so that everyone could find the jewelers of this world and evaluate their craftsmanship.
When he learned that the tiger was going to buy something, Sleepless used one of the pieces of jewelry as a base, filled it with citrine, and then enchanted it to create the fortune pendant.
Their companion proved to be quite good at his workmanship, completely bluffing the man and the rupee - if it weren't for the exquisite workmanship of the pendant itself, even if there was a sleepless enchantment, it might not have been able to bluff people.
"Since you didn't spend money this time, are you still going to buy that knight's sword?" he asked.
Tiger nodded: "That's right, but I can only make up a copy of the materials needed for the awakening ritual for the time being, so I'm not in a hurry." ”
"It's better to be prepared. Sleepless shook his head, "I'll go tomorrow and buy that sword back as your servant." ”
So the matter was settled, and that night, when the traversers who had gone out to search for clues from the demon cultists returned, they planned to hold a ritual to help the tiger cleanse the cursed dagger.
It is said that they have several priests here, and it should be easy for everyone to work together to purify a cursed short knife. But when the ceremony was held, everyone was surprised to find that the curse inside the short knife could not be purified.
