The gentle mechanical anthropomorphic voice is described.
Helo's consciousness took control of his body again, but the pain still irritated his brain, and it felt like it had been pricked with a needle.
Where is this?
A pre-canned wooden house tavern?
'Bang la la'
Kindness? Still with chains on your feet?
Looking at everything in front of him, both familiar and unfamiliar, Helo couldn't help but mutter, "Is this a time travel into the game?" ”
Come to think of it.
Originally, Helo was loading the new game [Soul Sorcerer] of the Xuangu Company, and at the same time double-opening [Interstellar Miner], who knew that they were obviously a game produced by the same company, but there was a system conflict, which led to an explosion.
Helo was slightly stunned.
A strange mixture of familiar memories kept flooding into the brain.
Not just Helo's own, but also the memories of the original body of this body.
The slightly drowsy brain gradually recalled the official website expansion film that I had watched not long ago.
Sorcerer... Soul circuits... Soul energy... Soul Beast... The horror of the deep sea.
Fragments of memories were interspersed in Helo's complete consciousness, and they also gave him a slightly complete understanding of the current situation.
[Soul Sorcerer] The game requires the soul to awaken and make it have a unique soul circuit, which can be regarded as embarking on the path of the sorcerer.
Each sorcerer's soul circuit is unique, which greatly increases the player's freedom, variety, and playability.
In the Atlanta Empire, where Helo is now located, there are thirteen Holy Land Towers, which govern all the magicians of the empire, different abilities, unpredictable weirdness, and strange soul beasts.
All of this made Helo full of awe and curiosity about this world.
The cacophony of human voices in his ears pulled his attention away from the memories.
The locations that come to the early game are generally random, and only a few European emperors can descend directly to the imperial capital of Atlanta.
But the picture in front of him made him feel that his face was really black!
Outside, the rain was falling on the edge of the window, and the splashes of water happened to hit Helo's face, and the gloomy weather reflected the terrifying atmosphere in the tavern.
The bare skin of the tavern drinkers has more or less reflective scales.
None of them are normal people!
"Uncle Green... What are you looking at me for? ”
Fortunately, Helo, who reacted, remembered the identities of the drinkers.
They are the natives of the Black Forest ports, citizens recognized by the Empire, not monsters of his imagination.
"Helo, a group of Imperial Capital magicians came to the port, are you curious? If you don't take a day off, but there's a lot of work in the tavern, and you can't seem to leave, hahaha, but when the rain stops, you should go to work on the fishing boat! ”
At the head of the pack was Green, the owner of the bar, who laughed at the sight of Helo stumbling as he wiped the tables and chairs, and the drinkers around him seemed to be accustomed to this scene and laughed together.
Helo was looking down in thought.
"Soul magician?"
Will you be able to meet it so soon?
He learned about it in the expansion.
Soul sorcerers do not make up a large percentage of the empire's population, and even at the beginning of the empire, titles must be granted by formal sorcerers.
This regulation has been handed down to this day, which also makes the strength of the sorcerer now set according to the rank of the prince and the prince, and as for the baron, they are collectively called the sorcerer's apprentice.
The huge population base can make the empire give birth to many apprentices with soul circuit qualifications, but it is not certain whether the apprentices can break through the boundaries and achieve knighthoods after being systematically taught by the Holy Land Tower.
Before that, in the memory of Helo's original body, he had never seen a sorcerer in the harbor, not even a sorcerer's apprentice.
As for the reason, it's very strange.
Legend has it that the souls of the natives in the harbor have long been infected by the deep sea, so they are unable to awaken the soul circuit.
The only transcendent ability that Helo had ever seen was the Deep-Sea Ritual that the Port People occasionally used.
But it only allowed the coolies to add some strength, heal minor injuries, and attract fish inshore to make it easier to catch.
In my memory, the aunt of the post station next door just used these sacrificial techniques, and everyone was about to pass over!
Naturally, these deep-sea sacrificial techniques cannot be compared to the power of the legendary magicians.
The natives of the port are unable to awaken, and the noble sorcerers do not come to this fishy frontier in person.
Naturally, he hadn't seen it once.
Helo, who was by the window, turned his head to look out the window at the dark and rainy night:
"It's strange to say, a magician who hasn't appeared for more than ten years suddenly came here..."
For some reason, he always felt that there was something unusual under this heavy rain, and he had the impression that the port had changed suddenly but had never encountered such a large amount of precipitation, and this amount of water did not rule out the possibility of a tsunami.
And he secretly sensed that something seemed to be watching here in the near sea under the dark night.
Out of a need for security, Herro tried to summon the game panel.
【Helo】
【Soul Circuit】(Lock)
Soul Energy (Lock)
Soul Beast (locked)
Soul Armament (Lock)
Soul Art (Lock)
As expected, there is no button to exit the game.
There is only a bare data panel, which still shows Helo's figure, blue eyes and short black hair, a straight nose, and two slender dagger-like eyebrows, but due to malnutrition, his eye sockets look extremely deep and gloomy.
In addition to this, a child who is only fourteen years old looks extremely handsome.
As for the other functions, it is still locked.
'Sure enough, there is no awakening soul circuit, and if you embark on the path of a sorcerer, you can't change anything, right? ’
But the next moment, to his surprise, there was a familiar card slot under the data panel.
The module system in [Interstellar Miner] has also been brought over!
This game that he has been working on for three years is familiar with the module system.
Modules are mostly produced from the death of hostile forces, and have the effect of strengthening the amplitude of themselves, and there are many classifications, such as halos, constitutions, efficiency, ranges, etc., and there are many options.
However, there are only 12 positions in the module card slot, and players need to match the modules reasonably according to different situations in order to exert the strongest amplitude effect.
But it's a pity, there are no flowers in the module library, and there is nothing.
The system conflict resulted in the destruction of all the modules he had previously saved.
The atmosphere brought by the heavy rain outside the window became more and more solemn, and Green, who was wiping his wine glass on the bar, also frowned.
Green turned to the drinker who was drinking on one side and asked, "Is the sacrifice prepared for this time enough?" ”
The drunkard with a rather hideous face and slightly more scales than others looked a little nervous, and said softly:
"This time the deep sea sacrifice came too hastily, and the sacrifices have not been prepared yet, otherwise those magicians..."
Before the big man finished speaking, he was stopped by Green with a stern look.
Instead, he shouted to Helo: "Helo, don't wipe the table, close the window and wash the cups!" ”
Helo, who hadn't adapted to his new identity for a short time, was obviously stunned for a moment.
It wasn't him who responded to Green.
"Boss! Five glasses of puree ale. ”
The wooden door to the tavern opened, and five men entered, and Herro recognized them as the sorcerers at a glance.
The unique arrogant look of the people of the imperial capital, coupled with the delicate and high-end silver-white robes, it was obviously pouring rain outside, but there was not a drop of water on the robes, which made their identity obvious.
And after they entered, the originally noisy and noisy tavern instantly fell silent.
The five magicians walked to a wooden table near the window and sat down, and the two honest fishermen who had been sitting here subconsciously squeezed together, and suddenly felt their hands and feet stiff.
Please, how could the noble men deign to come to this fishy tavern and sit on their whips.
With their tenacious will to face the wind and waves at sea, the two of them stood up tremblingly and planned to change tables, and when they stepped off the stool, a few drops of half a glass of ale wine in their hands were still shivering.
Seeing this, Green hurriedly made five cups of pure puree ale, and beckoned Helo to serve them to several magicians.
"Assistant Mena, I don't drink here!"
The only woman among the five frowned, her cold voice was like an ice spring, and everyone in the tavern listened to a chill that spread from their hearts to the soles of their feet, it was obviously early autumn, but it was extremely cold.
Of the five glasses of wine that had just been served, one of them cracked in front of Helo, and a thin layer of ice condensed on the outer wall of the glass, and the bare spilled wine did not spill out, but fell from the cracks like pearls one by one, beating on the wooden table and floor, making a 'thump' sound.
And just as the glass shattered, Herlo noticed that the sorceress was floating beside her... Worm?
Helo glanced sideways.
Worms scattered in front of the sorceress, wandering in midair, their bodies glowing pure white.
"You should taste the wine here, it was transferred from Wengers, it is absolutely first-hand, if the ale wine in the imperial capital is as pure as here, it is estimated that I will not be too lazy to come to this semester mission."
Mena, who looked to be thirty years old, smiled and raised his eyebrows, his carefully trimmed eyebrows looking a little playful.
Seeing his expression, Helo did not dislike the environment like the others, but had a feeling of enjoying it.
Despite Mena's best efforts, only one of the remaining four cups of ale puree was left untouched.
However, a gold coin printed with the tallest tower of the imperial capital popped up casually showed that he was extraordinarily generous.
It's just that Helo didn't move his steps while holding the gold coin, and his expression was slightly cramped.
"My lord, five cups of puree ale wine will cost five gold coins."
“......”
"What you just said, this is a first-hand puree, I thought you knew the market..."
This made the hearty smile on Mena's face gradually solidify, and the other magicians laughed heartily, making Mena lose face is not common in the imperial capital, let alone in this frontier place.
When did the price of the port become so expensive!
The drinkers in the tavern also buried their heads and tried desperately not to make a sound.
Mena endured embarrassment and pulled out four more gold coins, and turned his head to focus on Helo.
He blurted out and asked:
"A child who doesn't have scales on his face? Isn't it a port native? Whose child is this? ”
In this port that is stained with the traces of the deep sea, even merchants from other places will be stained with the mark of the deep sea after staying for a long time.
As a result, many tourists come to the beach deliberately not to stay for long, after all, no one knows when they will be contaminated with the mark of the deep sea, even the Grand Duke of the Holy Land Tower has personally visited, but has not found any pattern.
In this case, how strange is this very special child in front of him, after all, who wants their child to be contaminated with the mark of the deep sea.
And just as Hlo was caught in front of Mena.
The translucent worms roaming around the sorceress seemed to have found their target.
Swarmed and burrowed into his body.
Before he could react, Helo only noticed the reminder that crossed the corner of his eye.
