The moment when Sophia stands in front of the mural, closes her eyes and opens her arms.

The mystical pattern on her arm lit up, blending with the stars that escaped after the death of the Giant Guardian into an extremely beautiful painting.

It's the 'Vault Master' promotion ceremony!

To be precise, it should be the subsequent advancement of the profession.

Just like the swordsman class, after the first advancement, it will be divided into secret swordsman and mad swordsman, and they must complete different advancement conditions in order to succeed.

In subsequent advancements, there is no longer a distinction between professions.

However, if a first-order secret swordsman is promoted to a second-order secret swordsman, he must also complete the advanced conditions, and the so-called secret treasure master is a unified name used for professionals above the third order.

Whether you are a swordsman, contractor, knight, etc., as long as you join the 'Song of Gold' and become a Vault Hunter, then your Vault title is related to strength, and the Vault Master is to give the title of a powerhouse above the third order.

Players who reach Lv.10 can only be considered to have entered the 'First Order' realm.

It is conceivable that a third-order powerhouse is such a powerful existence for current players.

Rumble!

A red light appeared from Sophia's body, enveloping her entire body, and after a few seconds, the red light faded.

The red-haired girl opened her eyes again, and the mysterious magic patterns on her arms faintly flashed with gold, and in the next second, these magic patterns seemed to be alive, climbing to her back, and the two became one. And her temperament is also mixed with a bit of mystery, just like a scholar who pursues ancient ruins, with both beautiful and intellectual qualities, as well as inscrutable secrets.

The original relatively ordinary facial features, with the blessing of unique temperament, also have a different charm.

"I've been promoted to Master of Vaults."

Sophia looked at her hands, her face was unconcealed joy, although in this battle, her losses were extremely heavy, even the most valuable contract beast, Blood Shadow Cheetah, had died, and the hole cards on her body were all gone.

However, she also accomplished her most important goal.

- Ascend to Vault Master!

For every member of the Golden Song, it can be said that their life's goal to become a Master of the Vault is arguably their life's goal.

There are countless Vault Hunters stuck on this last step.

Now, Sophia has made it to the rank of Master of the Vault.......... All thanks to someone!

Thinking of this, Sophia hurriedly turned her head and looked straight at Su Fan next to her, her bright red eyes were also dyed with a bit of soft meaning: "Viewer, this time I was able to successfully promote to the Vault Master, and your credit is indelible." ”

"Thank you so much for your help, this is my heart, please take it."

As soon as the words fell, a little red light floated out of Sophia's body and fell into Su Fan's body, turning into his event reward.

[Hint: You have completed the Adventure Event: The Lost Civilization of Candace]

Hint: You gain 6,100 XP.

Hint: Get a piece of footwear equipment·「 Boots of the Vault Apprentice (Bronze).

Hint: You get 2 credits.

Hint: You have gained Sophia's favorability, your relationship has improved, and you have reached the 'Friend' attribute.

Note: With current opinion, your opinion can influence Sofia's decision-making in some quests.

Wow!

A golden light appeared on Su Fan's body, and his character level rose to Lv.5, not only that, but Su Fan also had an extra bronze-level equipment in his backpack, and he gained Sophia's favorability, and the two became friends.

The so-called friendship relationship is that the favorability accumulates to a certain extent, and a personal relationship will be obtained.

It's harder to farm than faction prestige.

Only in the difficult story events, there is a chance to gain the favorability of the aborigines, and the great difficulty also brings high returns, once the favorability accumulates to the 'friend' relationship, it can produce a qualitative change, so that the aborigines regard the player as a real friend, rather than a 'adventurer'.

As for the best friend above the friend, it is completely dependent on fate, and even let the other party betray the interests of the camp and consider him from the player's standpoint, that is, change the content of the 'plot event'.

In the previous life, Su Fan's aborigines who could achieve a close friendship relationship in "The Old Gods" were less than one palm, and the number was less than five.

After being promoted to level five, Su Fan gained three more potential points, but he didn't rush to add points, but looked at the shoes and equipment in his backpack.

【Shoes of the Vault Apprentice (Bronze)】

Attributes: Movement Speed +3, Agility +3

Quality: Bronze (Durability 20/20)

Rating: 46 (Bronze level score is 21~50 points)

Equipment Required: Lv.7 (Regardless of Class)

Set Effect (1/2): After activating the two-piece set, the wearer will gain +2 level of any skill (without activating derivative abilities), and the skill level shall not be higher than level 15.

Synopsis: This is the equipment given to members by the 'Song of Gold' organization, and it is standard for apprentices, but becoming a Vault Apprentice is not an easy task, at the very least, you must first be trusted by a Vault Master, or a Vault Hunter close to the Master.

Vault Apprentice Set!

When Su Fan saw the equipment description, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and sure enough, as he guessed, the excellent equipment given by the adventure-level event was the famous Vault Apprentice Set in the 'Song of Gold' organization.

Sets, this is a special mechanic of the Old Gods World, where high-quality series equipment can be matched together to form a set effect.

And the higher the quality of the kit components, the rarer they are.

Plus, in addition to the two-piece effect, there are more advanced three-piece and four-piece sets........

Before level 10, a two-piece set of equipment was extremely rare, let alone a bronze-level two-piece set, which was enough for the professional guilds to chase him frantically, just to explode this bronze equipment.

However, the equipment condition of the Vault Apprentice series is Lv.7, and Su Fan is currently only Lv.5, which is still two levels short.

The character needs to meet the conditions in order to wear it........

There is also the Vault Apprentice's Shoes, which comes with the Vault Apprentice Suit, which needs to go to the 'Golden Song' organization branch and use points to obtain it, fortunately, Su Fan has already obtained the 'Vault Apprentice' status badge, and it will not be a problem to go to the 'Golden Song' branch in the future.

The Apprentice's Shoes are a gift from the Vault Scholar, and the Apprentice's Shirt is from the Redemption of the Song of Gold, which is how the two pieces of equipment can be obtained.

Now, Su Fan has completed most of the preconditions, and he is left to obtain points from the 'Golden Song' and then exchange them for apprentice clothes.

It can be said that the adventure-level event, worthy of its level, made Su Fanyu jump into the dragon gate, directly ahead of other players.

At this stage, ordinary players, not to mention becoming Vault Apprentices, have not even been able to touch the 'Song of Gold', and the two are not on the same level.

After Sophia gave the reward, she didn't leave in a hurry, but asked him:

"Viewer, do you know the history on these murals?"

Hey, is this a reward for an Adventure event........... Su Fan suddenly realized, with his rich experience, that Sophia was happy after being successfully promoted to master, and decided to reveal some secrets to him.

The secrets of these plots may be related to the 'Song of Gold' organization itself, and even become a precondition for subsequent plots.

Some plots not only require character level, favorability and faction prestige, but also have certain requirements for mastering knowledge.

How should I answer?

Su Fan hesitated, as a reborn, he naturally knew the contents of the mural.

But how to answer Sophia is another plot science, after all, in Sophia's eyes, she is an adventurer + desert guard in Boulder Town, a dual identity. If he behaves too outrageously, it will backfire and cause the other party to be alienated..........

Don't underestimate the IQ of the aborigines, they are not inferior to real people, or rather, every aboriginal is a real life with their own thinking mode, if you ignore them, it is likely that the player will pay a heavy price for missing the 'story event'.

Thinking of this, Su Fan made a decision in his heart.

"These frescoes are a record of the Twin Years, with a record of the Candace........ civilization"

"The Candace civilization belongs to the dependents of the 'Immortal Elder Dragons' race, they are natural enemies with the giants, and in the twin era, the Immortal Elder Dragons and the War Giants are the dominant races on the earth, and they are also the shadows hanging over the heads of all races."

"As far as I know, because the Candacese civilization is extremely advanced in mechanical technology, they have the habit of modifying the corpses of giants, and they like to drive the remains of enemies the most, both to intimidate the enemy and to use the corpse resources.......... Lady Sophia, is that Guardian a product of the Candace civilization? ”

Su Fan talked about the knowledge points on the mural, but chose to say 'half-understood'.

It's the state of understanding a little bit, but not fully understanding.

Sure enough, after hearing the brief answer from the 'viewer', the new Vault Master Sophia couldn't help but smile, a little proud of having the advantage of reserves in ancient knowledge, and a little ostentatious, and explained leisurely:

"That's a good point, but there are some things that don't go into detail enough."

"First of all, let's be clear, the Candace civilization is not only the dependents of the 'Immortal Elder Dragons', even in the Second Age, among the many vassal races, their civilization can be ranked in the top three.........."

"The Candacean civilization, they are always at the forefront of the ancient dragon camp in their battle against the war giants."

"Thanks to this, the ancient murals of the Candace civilization contain the spell marks left behind by the ancient dragons, and this symbol is an irresistible temptation for us Vault Hunters."

"Especially as a beast contract master, as a profession based on the 'magic pattern', one of the conditions for promoting to the Vault Master is to find an ancient magic pattern that I am missing, of course, this is only one of the conditions for promotion, and I have already completed the other conditions."

After speaking, Sophia pointed to the mural, and following her white fingers, Su Fan saw the scene on the mural.

It was a large field with a large bonfire in the center of which the inhabitants were worshipping, and in the center of the bonfire was a large cross with the corpse of a giant hanging from it, as if it were an offering to a person of worship.

It was the Candacean civilization that offered the spoils of war to the objects of their faith.

"The warriors of the Candice civilization, they presented the corpses of giants to the immortal ancient dragons, and the latter gave them spell marks, spell marks that belong exclusively to the ancient dragons, combined with the mechanical technology of the Candice civilization, and finally formed the 'guardian' product."

Sophia did not forget to dub the voice, and she has the talent of a narrator.

I understand that those magic patterns that I shattered are the magic marks given by the immortal ancient dragons........... Su Fan silently added in his heart, of course, on the surface, he was like a good baby, curious to listen to Sophia's explanation.

This kind of performance makes the latter more and more eager to explain, and he is unaware that he is revealing more and more secret information.

It has long been beyond the scope of ordinary explanations.

"In addition, it is said that in this ancient land, in the Second Age, there was also the production of 'Golden Fleece', which was the favorite thing of the immortal ancient dragons, and it is said that those who take the Golden Fleece can receive the gift of nature, so that their abilities can be transformed.........."

Sophia concluded.

There is also an ancient mural next to it, which depicts the people of the Candace civilization, who are encircling a huge strange cow, the other party has copper hooves and nostrils that breathe fire, which looks very oppressive, but Su Fan only glanced at it, and his heart moved slightly.

Sunfire Bull ........... Level 5 dungeon regular boss .......... Important plot ........... of the Desert Remnants There's also the Golden Fleece, which is a unique reward that is unique to the Wasteland Dungeon.......... Su Fan looked at the content on the mural, and a lot of thoughts flashed, but he covered it up well.

Sophia was unaware of his anomaly, and her face was satisfied when she finished talking about the mural.

"Alright, we should return to the surface as well......... Hey, what's wrong with you, viewer? ”

Sophia looked at the young man in a daze, motionless, and said with some curiosity.

"No, it's fine."

Su Fan hurriedly covered up and fooled Sophia.

Before leaving, Su Fan glanced at his interface again, and there was a prompt message that popped up just now-

[Hint: After listening to Master Vault Sophia's explanation, you have received the Seal of Knowledge of the 'Candace' Civilization.] 】

[Hint: This seal of knowledge can be displayed to special people to obtain the recognition of the other party.] 】

In Su Fan's backpack space, there was suddenly an extra triangle with a crystalline appearance, which was the seal of knowledge.

【Seal of Knowledge: Candace's Civilization】

Item Effect: Can be handed over to the inheritor of the Candacese civilization to gain the opponent's favor.

Quality: Black Iron Grade

Rating: 20

Introduction: This is the imprint of the condensation of ancient knowledge after you have acquired it, and only experienced ancient scholars can give this thing.

Sure enough, I did the right thing........... Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief, he got an additional reward from Sophia's body after the event, the Seal of Knowledge, this kind of thing can be regarded as a token, handed over to some specific plot characters, and can get the other party's favorability.

And in the upcoming fifth-level dungeon: Desert Relic Clan, Su Fan remembers very clearly, the most critical plot character..........

It is the inheritor of the civilization of Cantius.

Therefore, the name of the fifth-level dungeon is the Desert Relic, because in the ancient era, in the Second Age, the characters who were active in this land were not Grand Duke of Black Flame and his principality, but the Candaceus civilization.

With this thing, Su Fan went to challenge the upcoming level five dungeon, not only with more hole cards, but also with more room for choice.

Lady Sophia, what a cornucopia for me........... Su Fan sighed silently, and the next moment, he followed the red-haired woman's buttocks very attentively, and the two returned along the same road.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Sophia turned her head to look at a certain black-haired young man who was very close to her, obviously within a safe distance, but she didn't have any objection to him.

After all, in Sophia's eyes, Su Fan was already a 'Vault Apprentice', and he belonged to the Song of Gold.

....................

At the same moment, in the place outside the wreck.

A core member of the Mowu Guild came out of the withered and decayed oasis and came to the vicinity of the shipwreck, they looked at the magnificent scene they had never seen before, and their faces showed greed, desire and fierceness.

"Sure enough, the [viewer] is hiding here.........."

"Looks like he triggered the plot event."

"It's just so that we can kill him and monopolize this plot!"

The proposal of a member of the Mowu Guild was immediately approved by everyone.
