Chapter 25: The Second Ring Main Line (2-in-1)
[Hint: You have completed the 'Iron Will Choice' and started the follow-up main story.] γ
[Hint: You joined the 'New Gospel' faction, opened faction reputation (friendly), and learned the location of faction merchant Douggs.] γ
[Hint: The main score has risen.] γ
Su Shi saw the large number of prompts on the panel, and Rao couldn't help but rejoice in his state of mind, because the rank of faction prestige was divided into five levels: hatred, coldness, neutrality, friendliness, and the highest level of respect.
Under normal circumstances, the dependents join a new faction, and the initial reputation is cold, it is difficult to trigger the side line, and the means to increase the reputation are limited, and it is maintained in a state that is not up or down.
If it is a highly charismatic dependent, with the charisma attribute, as soon as you join the camp, you will have a neutral reputation, have the opportunity to obtain side routes, and a lot of plot information, and you will hopefully improve the favorability of the camp in the future.
Born with a higher starting point than other dependents, this is their advantage.
For example, Su Shi chose Golier's condition to become her servant earlier, and as soon as he entered the camp, he had a neutral reputation, whether it was triggering the side quest or looking for information on the plot, it was definitely much better than being cold.......... Of course, he had to wash his feet with water.
However, with the reward of the last mission, Su Shi used his connection to the world of Primordial Iron to adopt another method to join the faction:
Disguised as an infestation of the original iron, different from the promotion direction of the sound envoy and the black craftsman!
In this way, Golill's level of attention to him has increased several times at once, and when Su Shi joins the camp of the New Gospel, he will have friendly prestige as soon as he comes up, and in this case, he can consume his own prestige to borrow the camp of the New Gospel to help.
This is to help him complete the main story with the help of the power of the faction, and he has a higher starting point than the charismatic dependents.
If other dependents knew about it, they would definitely be crazy with envy, but this is also something that Su Shi can do, and other dependents cannot reproduce it, and they do not have the 'original iron' substance (plot medium) on their bodies, and they also lack the derivative ability and memory of the 'Spirit Hunter'.
Those in the twilight space knew from Yin Li's mouth that their strength was biased towards normal battles, such as the mage, the warrior, although it was also different from the black craftsman/sound envoy, but it was not so valuable in value.
Even if they join the new gospel, they don't deserve so much attention.
What the new gospel lacks is not a strong warrior, but a new force to change the situation, and it is clear that the new infect with a memory is in the best interest of them.
After reading the harvest, Su Shi looked at the next one, his follow-up main line:
γBlack Gold City: War Houndγ
Difficulty level: Lv.6
Quest content: Find the underground moles lurking in the Black Gold City (Gospel City), hunt them, prevent them from continuing to deliver important news to the Black Craftsman Alliance, and hunt the number of targets (3/3).
Deadline for completion: 72 hours
Quest reward: Score the main story, open the follow-up main story.
Failure Penalty: The world plot will be significantly affected and will undergo unpredictable changes.
After reading the main content, Su Shi raised his eyebrows, the main task of the second ring is actually to hunt the underground mole of the Black Smith Alliance.
This was the opposite of what he had guessed was the condition for joining the Black Smith Alliance.
Sure enough, the two are still opposed to each other, and when he joins the new gospel, the follow-up main line will inevitably conflict with the Black Craftsman Alliance.
Regarding the failure penalty, the mission description is very unreal, and only mentions that the world plot has been significantly affected.
But combined with the above content, it is not difficult to guess that this influence is spread by underground moles, and they may have mastered some secrets, which can affect the front-line war, and whether they can hunt the underground moles cleanly will affect the future situation of the original iron world.
Of course, Su Shi will definitely not be less than the souls of the world they have given him.
"Mr. Su, can you tell me about the process of carrying the original iron?" Next to her, Grell was leading the way, and the gas light shone on her face, which was so gentle that people unconsciously wanted to talk.
Miss Greil, when you're not fighting, you're still pretty moving.......... Su Shi silently sneered, and then, he threw out the belly case that he had prepared in his heart to deceive her: "I don't know, with that piece of raw iron, I just hide from XZ.........."
"After a while, I became like this." Su Shi appeared innocent.
"Sure enough........"
Golier shook her head with a wry smile, she guessed this result, after all, the other party is not a person from a serious background, and the luck component is heavier.
"By the way, as a voice envoy, is it different from me to grasp the power of the original iron?" Su Shi's heart moved, and from Gorill's demeanor, combined with the common sense of power he knew from the twilight space, he vaguely guessed an idea.
"We need to complete some specific rituals to absorb the power of the original iron, well, these are secrets, and we can't tell them to outsiders.........." Goliath glanced at him and smiled, "But you have joined us, and you will soon be a councillor of the new gospel, and you have the power of infection yourself, so it doesn't hurt to tell you this secret." β
"The first point is to become a sound envoy, and you must carry raw iron."
"In the carrying state, we have to pretend to be a 'tool', yes, this is a strange statement, but you have to use yourself as a tool, whether it is against enemies or helping friends, it is better to make them feel that you are a 'tool'......... And not flesh-and-blood humans. β
Speaking of this, Golier chuckled, as if remembering something, and added: "From the rewards of the organization, I knew how to be promoted, and in order to complete the conditions, I chose to be a mute. β
"On the day of the New Gospel, I worked with young people of the same age, all of whom were orphans recovered from the mine disaster and completed the tasks that the organization had decreed. At that time, the Blacksmith League still ruled all the city-states, and we had to lurk.......... It's good to be dumb. β
"We didn't reveal our identities, we completed the task step by step, and in the end, we succeeded in overthrowing the rule of the blacksmiths."
"However, because of my mute behavior for so many years, no one has been friends with me, men and women, and even when they try to come near me, they are scared away by the sharp blade in their hands........... tools that do not require human communication. β
"When I spoke again, they had funny looks on their faces, like they had seen a ghost."
Golier's fingers gently fiddled with the iron lock on his shoulder, and his face was not frustrated, but with a sense of relief: "Perhaps, this is the price of my shortcut, other envoys play the role of 'tools', and there are soldiers who obey the orders of their superiors, this is a tool, and there are also tools to assist others to fulfill their long-cherished wishes, and they are considered not ordinary people, this is also a tool.........."
"There are many methods, but I chose the most extreme one."
Pretending to be a 'tool'........... Su Shi woke up suddenly, and he thought of the [Primordial] main line that Yin Li said.
When the normal dependents meet the conditions (the level of the seal is sufficient), the next mission will be arranged by the Dusk Space to have a main line, the content is to find a primordial material, and participate in the ritual of containing the primordial substance, this, isn't this in line with what Goliath said?
In other words, if someone fits the 'craftsman' direction, that is, absorbing raw iron, that person will be placed in the world of raw iron and experience something similar to that of Golill.
Not only that, but the dependents have gained the identity of the dusk space arrangement, from a certain point of view........
Isn't it also convenient for them to absorb the primordial substance?
Yes, definitely! The more Su Shi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was very close to the truth.
And so on, the [original essence] in oneself ........... The pendant left by Su Li! That thing is the primordial material, and some of Sushi's actions in reality, because they conform to the ritual behavior, gradually contain the primordial material.
The pendant grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.......... That's the best evidence!
Because of this, Su Shi was born with a primordial essence [Spirit Hunter Lv.5], compared to other dependents, he just entered with primordial essence, the starting point was much higher than theirs, and the step of choosing a direction was also omitted.
I obviously absorbed the original essence, but I didn't know that my actions were in line with the strange sprouts of the ceremony? Su Shi smiled bitterly in his heart, the other dependents had the guidance of the main line, and everything was clear, but he was successful in 'accommodating' in reality, and he was still a fool, and he didn't know what direction the [Spirit Hunter] was.
At this time, Su Shi suddenly realized something, and asked in his heart about the deed seal on the back of his hand:
"Can raw materials be carried into the real world?"
[Note: Raw materials are similar to equipment, and cannot be carried into the present world (starfish).] γ
"You can't carry .........." Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "If you pay the price, can you bypass this rule?" β
[Hint: The dependent's authority is insufficient to get the information.] γ
Sure enough, this time the hint of the twilight space was not how much money it cost, but the lack of authority, indicating that Su Shi's strength level was too low, and even if he spent money, he was not qualified enough to buy news from the twilight space.
But Su Shi was very satisfied, because the situation revealed in the twilight space can definitely prove that 'Su Li' is a powerful dependent, and can even carry the original essence into the present world, what kind of ability is this? Enough power to break the rules, it seems that she has already arranged it.
Su Shi needs to grow, and only when he is strong can he be qualified to pursue the other party.
Gathering his thoughts, Su Shi did not forget to comfort the blonde girl beside him, anyway, good words don't need money: "No, everyone has their own choice, you don't regret it, why care about other people's opinions?" β
Hearing this, Golier's footsteps paused slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and in an instant, she hurriedly covered it up, pretending to be calm: "Well, we are almost at the location, wait a minute, please wait outside." β
Girl, the level at which you deliberately divert the topic is terrible........... Su Shi complained silently, of course, it was impossible for him to say this, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that this blonde girl with a cold surface would not be annoyed and angry.
Soon, a spire-like temple appeared in front of you, with no Black Helmet guards.
Because it was the hinterland of the gospel area, only the messengers could enter, and the others were killed by the guards outside.
Su Shi was undoubtedly a special case, he was the first outsider who was not an envoy to come here.
Goril took the initiative to step forward, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the door, like an active metal, after confirming her breath, slowly opened the door, Goliath told Su Shi to stay outside, don't step forward, otherwise the gate will attack him.
After that, Su Shi saw her inside, and waited quietly outside, and when he got the identity, Su Shi was able to mobilize the power of the new gospel.
Help yourself complete the main story!
......................
Da! Da! Da!
Goliath stepped into the hall and walked to the long red table in the front row.
The whole hall was empty, except for a long metal table covered with bright red flags, standing quietly in the center of the hall, on both sides of the table, a total of eight huge chairs and the central main seat, with high insteps, like a throne, richly decorated.
Goliath found one of the chairs and sat down on it herself.
Her position is very forward, the top main seat, and the first chief seat to the right.
This is not a fixed position for each person, but according to the position, this is the position reserved for the 'Lord of the Gospel City', and the chief messenger who guards the Gospel City (Black Gold City) sits on this chair.
After taking her seat, Golier stretched out her small white hand and gently pressed it down, placing the black bell on the table.
This is a special artifact that can be forged with the power of sound, and it is accompanied by the ringing of bells.
A few minutes later, steam appeared on the tables and chairs, and the gray mist condensed into a human figure: this is the 'communication chair' specially created by the envoys, and each contact location has the same bright red long table and corresponding chairs, as long as someone sits on it, the chair can create a 'shadow of air'.
With the continuous birth of air shadows, the entire hall became more and more foggy.
Only Golill sat among them in her real body, with blonde hair and peerless appearance, and a long black dress, which looked extremely eye-catching.
After a long time, no new air shadow was born, except for the high atmosphere shadow born on the main seat, the remaining eight chairs, including Golill, were only half of the number of people, and the other four chairs were still vacant, and there was no air shadow born on them.
"Calamity, why is it calling us? Has there been a major change in Gospel City? β
On the main seat, Gao Qiying slowly lowered his head and looked at Golier on the right.
Although she is foggy and condensed, she can vaguely see the appearance of women, her facial features are not good-looking, she wears a hood on her left eye, and her figure is a little tall and burly.
"No, the Gospel City is still safe." Golill shook her head.
Hearing this, the nearby air shadows were in a commotion, and they exchanged their heads with each other, faintly accusing Golier.
According to the rules of the meeting, only in the event of a major crisis in the gospel city can the 'chief council' be eligible to use the 'chief council', and everyone present here is a member of the chief group, holding important positions, even if they are away for a few minutes, it will affect all aspects.
"I believe in calamity, she's measured."
A man with a sword on his back with a vague countenance, persuaded the other messengers, however, Golill did not look at him, and at this moment, the blonde girl's mind was full of thoughts about another young man, and she looked up and stared at the lofty shadow:
"Speaker, I have something more important to report to youβ"
"A .......... that will turn the tide of war and give the New Gospel a victory in the war"
"Important news!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
