073 Equalization Messenger and Spell Harmony
……
The inheritance has been opened, how can there be any reason to interrupt.
Matthew chose to continue.
And so more information poured into his mind.
He stood in front of the stone monument, his eyes closed, and beads of sweat the size of beans secreted from his forehead.
The black-and-white images flashed before Matthew's eyes.
A few breaths.
Not only did he succeed in receiving the inheritance of the Emissary of Equalization, but he also learned part of the story of King Mingtan, the first Emissary of the Sioux Clan.
Matthew slowly opened his eyes.
The tadpole text on the stele quickly writhed, and after a while, it "evaporated" out of thin air.
The same is true for the dozen or so patterns behind the stele.
Matthew turned around and asked astringently:
"When you came in, did you see anything on the stele and the stone?"
Bobo shook his head silently.
Lumière looked at the stele curiously:
"Isn't it always blank?"
Matthew nodded inwardly.
This vindicated his guess about the stele - only those who had the potential to become an emissary of equilibrium would see the tadpole inscription and the patterns.
This requires at least two conditions:
First, and crucially, the Sioux imprint;
Second, the person who touches the stele must have at least two legendary paths, or two particularly powerful powers, in their bodies.
This should be a necessary condition for activating the lineage of the Equilibrium Messenger.
As soon as this threshold is passed, it becomes very easy to accept the inheritance, for example, Matthew does not know the content of the tadpole texts at all, but he still easily understands the information that is poured into his mind.
It is estimated that this is the person who left the inheritance, considering that the birth of the balance messenger is not easy.
Therefore, the door is wide open.
Matthew, who traveled all the way to the south and experienced the hardships of the journey, finally got his wish.
But there was still confusion between his eyebrows.
……
"Hint: You have received the inheritance of the Special Class: Equalizer, and you can choose between two ways to add the Equalizer's abilities to your list of abilities-
1. Advanced (Open a special path: The Balance of Everything)
2. Part-time job (facing XP penalty)"
……
According to Matthew's previous thoughts, there is a high probability that he will directly choose advanced.
After all, the Emissary of Balance has a special path, which means that there is no limit to what can be achieved in the future.
However, after taking stock of the inherited information.
Matthew hesitated.
Instead of making a decision on impulse, he closed his eyes and began to recall the origins of the profession of Equalizer.
And if you want to sort out these, you must start with King Mingtan.
According to the information stored in the stele, King Ming Tan was the first emissary of equilibrium in this world.
In those unknown times.
After a terrible calamity swept through the Eastern Continent, King Mingtan, who had a premonition, led people to take twelve ships with ocean-going capabilities, left his homeland, and went all the way west to seek safe shelter.
And in the process of crossing the endless ocean, King Mingtan's fleet encountered two major difficulties.
The first hurdle takes place in the southeast of the Endless Ocean.
There is a trench leading to the abyss at the bottom of the sea, and the trench is inhabited by a sea monster capable of destroying the world, and it is said that it is also a member of the "Twilight Creation".
As King Myeongtan's fleet passed above the trench, it was attacked by the sea monster, who swallowed the ship that was at the front in one gulp.
The sea monster was huge, almost as wide as the land, and its length was endless.
At that time, everyone on the ship was shocked, but only King Mingtan stepped forward.
He left the ship alone and flew to the sea monster's belly using his flying skills, asking to negotiate with it.
The sea monster admired King Mingtan's courage and expressed his willingness to give him a chance.
But the sea monster said that the place of negotiation could not be at sea, but at the bottom of the sea.
So King Mingtan followed the sea monster to the bottom of the sea.
The negotiations lasted about 72 hours, when the sea was overcast and stormy, and the scene was so frightening that several undetermined captains secretly drove the boat away.
And when King Mingtan finished negotiating with the sea monster and returned to the sea, he found that there were only 5 ships left waiting for him.
He was not angry, but sighed and said:
"Those who stay where they are still can still live, how can those who leave quietly survive?"
Sure enough.
As the crowd cheered for King Mingtan to re-board the ship, and the fleet successfully sailed all the way through the rainy seas, they soon saw the wreckage left behind by the ships that had escaped in advance.
King Mingtan told the others.
The people on these ships were also eaten by the sea monsters just like the original ship.
Fortunately, he has negotiated with the sea monster, and the other party will no longer embarrass the remaining people.
The rest of the crew burst into cheers.
Some people are also curious about what the specific content of the negotiation between King Mingtan and the sea monster is, and what method King Mingtan used to dispel the idea of the sea monster devouring them.
It's a pity that King Mingtan has always been tight-lipped on this topic.
Until he died, no third person knew about the negotiations.
After that, the fleet headed west, and a few months later, they reached the west side of the Endless Ocean, which was estimated to be less than three days from the Barbarian Peninsula on the continent of Aiindor.
Here, King Mingtan's fleet encountered a second very difficult problem -
There was an outbreak of plague on the ship.
This plague came very strangely, and everyone's symptoms were different, and King Mingtan found that the stronger the Sioux people, the more serious the plague would be.
Especially the high-level professionals led by Taoist priests, one is sicker than the other.
The herbs and spells they had at their disposal had no effect on it.
The Sioux began to die in large numbers.
Even if King Mingtan tried to solve the problem, there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't afford to fall ill soon after.
Fortunately, there were still some healthy people on board, and they continued to sail under the orders of King Mingtan, and finally arrived at the Manya Peninsula after some time.
The Sioux fleet was docked here for almost half a year.
Those who died under the plague eventually accounted for two-thirds of the ship's population, and the Taoist priests in particular were almost wiped out.
This is also the fundamental reason why the inheritance of this special profession is gradually broken.
During this period, in order to save themselves, the Sioux began to have frequent contact with the local natives, and the two sides began to carry out a lot of trade.
Soon after, the seriously ill King Mingtan sent people to learn some voodoo techniques from the indigenous shamans.
At the strong suggestion of the shaman, King Mingtan became a horse doctor and simply fed a powerful voodoo to the rest of the patients, including himself.
As a result, a miraculous thing happened, after voodoo entered the body, the symptoms of the plague were greatly reduced, although not to the point of complete eradication, but at least people could live.
King Mingtan was very emotional at that time, if he could reach the Manya Peninsula earlier, maybe more people would be able to save their lives.
It's a pity that fate has been forged, and no one can change it.
King Mingtan, who barely picked up a small life, began to vigorously study the plague on his body.
He was a true genius, and when he was in the Su Kingdom, he was the leader of the Great Wall Mage Regiment, and he was rewarded for his meritorious work in resisting demons.
When he arrived at the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula, his professional level was LV16 Great Wall Mage and LV4 Daoist, half-step legend level.
Soon, his research yielded initial results.
King Mingtan's research showed that the plague itself was just a fuse, and the large number of Sioux people on the ship died essentially because of the differences in the laws and fields of existence in the eastern and western continents.
Why do Taoist priests die more?
Because most of these Su Daoist priests have the power of two realms at the same time, driving wind, rain, thunder and lightning and summoning zombie imps, this is actually the content of one field in the Eastern Continent, and it doesn't matter who learns it.
The realm of the West Continent has long been divided up by the gods, and unauthorized access to different realms will inevitably lead to a backlash from the law, compared to the plague is just a symptom amplifier, and it is actually their power that kills a large number of Sioux people.
The kind of voodoo given by the indigenous shamans just has the effect of weakening and debilitating, so it can greatly alleviate the symptoms.
This discovery frustrated King Mingtan, who knew that the gods had not even taken the initiative to intervene, and that it was the reaction of the realm that had been deeply imprinted by them.
This means that the Western Continent is not an ideal place of refuge for the ancestors of the East.
However, they have no choice, they have no choice but to adapt.
The next lineage information is a bit more ambiguous.
Matthew only knew that King Mingtan had spent a long time studying the situation in the realm of the Western Continent after leaving the Barbarian Peninsula, and in the end, he had opened up a balanced realm out of thin air based on an artifact he had brought from the Eastern Continent, so as to reconcile the opposing forces of several attributes in his body.
He succeeded, and with it, he stepped into the realm of legend.
But he also failed, because even King Mingtan himself had to rely on that artifact to maintain a long-term equilibrium.
If the emissaries of the past generations of balance want to go further in this profession, they must sign a contract with that artifact.
Among the inheritance information obtained by Matthew, there are also annotations on the artifact by the emissaries of the Balance of Generations.
Judging from their attitude towards the artifact, it's not hard to see that this thing is not reliable at all!
For example, the second generation of the Equalization Messenger, who was also the fourth son of King Mingtan, left a note like this:
"Heavenly weapons are unpredictable, and heavenly dao is incomprehensible."
That's a tactful statement.
By the seventh generation of equalization messengers, the style of painting gradually began to deviate:
"The legendary way of the Equalization Messenger is to catch weapon spirits everywhere, right? You never know where it will hide in the next second, and when you remember the scene when you signed the contract with it, you will want to slap yourself a few times."
And when the previous generation of Equilibrium Messengers, that is, when the lineage was about to be broken, he left a note like this:
"Stupid machine spirit, every day I know that it is derelict in its duties, and it will not be able to fulfill its original promise!
The way of equilibrium is wrong from the beginning, everything is only biased, where is the theory of equilibrium?
Unless you can cut into the two most primitive forces at the beginning.
But what mortal can do?
It's too difficult, it's too difficult, it's uneven, whoever loves it goes!"
……
It can be seen that the profession of Equilibrium Envoy is full of uncertainty, and it is a new profession opened up by King Mingtan in order to save himself.
Although it can be used to get into the realm of equilibrium, it is not necessary for Matthew.
Because he's already half-footed in the realm of equilibrium.
"King Mingtan, they are also pitiful, judging from the time node, when they arrived at the Manya Peninsula, the ascension of Tianlun Palace had not yet happened! The laws of the realm subconsciously curry favor with the gods, which is why the plague is fueled. ”
"If they had come after the ascension of the Tianlun Palace, things might have been different, and the realm that had been cleaned by the Heavenly Calamity Mage and had been branded by the gods would not take the initiative to do it at all!"
"According to the description in the inheritance, the profession of Taoist priest is mainly to control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, calling zombie imps, which is equivalent to the combination of plastic energy mages and necromancers, and now in this era, these two fields are not in conflict, could it be that before the ascension of Tianlun Palace, the infinite subdivision of the field by the gods at that time has reached this level, and the necromancers and plastic energy who belong to the same spell field will fight?"
Matthew sighed softly, feeling a little incredible.
For him, there is too much useful information hidden in this inheritance, which may even be more valuable than the profession of Equalizer.
But it also left him with many doubts.
How did King Myeongtan negotiate with the sea monster who was a Twilight Creation?
Does the negotiation have anything to do with the strange ritual of the Sioux going out into the sea before they die?
Did the Taoist priests really die in large numbers because of the clash of forces?
What is the artifact that King Mingtan used to open up the realm of equilibrium?
Where does it fall now?
These are all things that Matthew is very interested in.
However, he also knows very well that not every question in this world can find answers, and many mysteries are destined to disappear into the fog of history.
Most importantly, he must now make a choice.
"My path has been very clear, nature and immortality, this is the path that cannot be changed."
"I don't need too strong advancement, what I need more is stability, most of the random factors in the advancement process must be eliminated!"
"I need balanced power to balance the two paths, I even have the name of the system been beaten up by the two big brothers of immortality and nature, and when their strength grows, it is hard to guarantee that they will not fight in my body, so I need this power, but at the same time, there is no need to pay too much for the profession of balanced messenger."
After figuring out what he needed, Matthew's thinking was incredibly clear.
……
"Hint: You chose "Part-time", you consumed a lot of XP, and you gained "Equalization Messenger LV1" (second class)!
Warning: When you promote your second class, "Equalizer", you will face a part-time penalty, which requires an additional 50% of XP consumption!
You have gained the Class Trait of "Equalizer": Supreme Harmony.
Supreme Harmony: You can reconcile several forces in your body so that they are in a state of balance and stability, so that they will not clash;
At the same time, you also gain the ability to "reconcile spells".
Reconcile Spells: With a spell action (not omitted), you can choose two spells or abilities from a list of abilities that belong to different realms to reconcile.
Once the blend is complete, you can upgrade one of the spells or abilities to an "Enhanced Spell (Ability)", which will have a more powerful effect when cast.
Another reconciled spell or ability automatically goes on cooldown.
Note 1: Different spells will have different enhancement effects when they are blended with each other.
Note 2: The number of "Blend Spells" you can now use is 2 per day."
……
After the highest profile and start, Matthew could clearly feel that the strength in his body had become more balanced.
Above the Tai Chi symbol, the equilibrium that was originally a dotted line has become a solid line.
Matthew could see that many green and gray points of light poured into the balance from nature and immortality, and finally mixed into dark green points of light.
However, the dark green dots of light did not remain in equilibrium for long, and they quickly dispersed into nature and immortality.
Soon, the dark green light spots that had entered the realm of life and death split into gray and green again, and each expelled each other back to its own territory.
And so on.
Although the number of light spots in the Three Avenues is more or less, it also forms a dynamic balance!
The hidden danger that has been buried in my heart has finally been alleviated.
This delighted Matthew.
He was more interested in the ability of Spell Harmony, which could combine abilities from different realms to make one of them more powerful.
The key is that different permutations and combinations can yield different enhancements.
That's a lot of fun.
Matthew couldn't resist the scene and transferred one.
This ability requires a standard spell action that lasts about five seconds.
After the blending is completed.
One of the two abilities chosen by Matthew is available, and the other is on cooldown.
……
"Hint: You used a spell to reconcile the targets of "Wild Form (Raven)" and "Rotten Cyst Mastery";
After the blend is completed, the "Wilderness Form (Raven)" is enhanced to the "Wilderness Form (Corrupt Raven)".
Expect your avatar to have a slight increase in size, +1 Perception and Dexterity, and a powerful Corruption Save!"
……
"It's fun!"
If it weren't for the number of times, Matthew would probably have fun every day!
The most interesting point of this ability is that as your strength increases, you will gain more and more abilities, and the results of permutations and combinations will also skyrocket.
If it weren't for Lumière and Bobo still watching.
He can't wait to turn into a raven and fly around now!
It took a lot of work.
Matthew calmed down.
In addition to the class traits, the Level 1 Equalization Emissary also gives him a new ability.
……
"Balanced Perception: Wherever you go, you will be able to perceive the local energy field, and if there is any imbalance, you will immediately catch it.
You can use this ability to trace the elements, and you can use it as a basis for rearranging and repairing the energy field."
……
It's also quite a useful perk.
Energy fields are usually existential beings that can only be keenly perceived by elemental beings.
It is mainly composed of the four elements as well as attributes such as spirits.
The absence of a certain energy usually represents an anomaly in the energy field.
Some powerful monsters will also change the local energy field as they pass by, so they are great for tracking enemies.
As for rearranging the energy field, Matthew doesn't have that ability yet, but if he encounters a tinkering job in the future, he can really give it a try.
"The continuous expansion of the traces of the dead may be related to the imbalance of the energy field."
Matthew's mind spun quickly, and he immediately found a use for this ability.
And it's a great use that works very well!
So far.
LV1's equalization messenger gives Matthew a passive class trait and two abilities that are either practical or interesting.
And he's only paying a fraction of the XP!
"The Level 1 Emissary of Equilibrium is enough for me now, and it's time to advance to Necronomicon Night. If the Equilibrium Messenger can show some stability in the future, and at the same time can prove that this path is more promising, it is not impossible to redevelop the second career into the main one. ”
Matthew thought to himself.
Doing so is certainly not costly, and it will cost you a lot of XP.
But what Matthew lacks the most is precisely XP!
……
"I'm alright, let's go!"
After finishing his part-time job, Matthew turned around without hesitation.
He didn't even glance at the tomb that loomed in the depths of the square.
Bobo exclaimed:
"You're done with it? That's too fast, isn't it? ”
Matthew was speechless:
"Do you like to eat slowly?"
Bobo hesitated:
"But aren't you here to advance? It's too easy, too! ”
"Is it easy?"
Matthew smiled:
"You just happened to see the comfort of my harvest fruit, but you didn't see me through the hardships of the storm."
Matthew is not exaggerating.
In order to obtain the inheritance of the Equalization Messenger, he did pay a lot.
Just because of some legends, he did not hesitate to cross most of the southern land, from the plague-ridden city of Zeshui all the way through the difficult rainforest.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have died halfway through.
On Junliu Island, he withstood the charm from the bottom of the sea, and with a slightly lower resistance, he would go into the sea like those old Sioux people and embrace the unknown fate.
In the end, even if he gets the news of the way of equilibrium, he may suffer a big loss from the sickle.
As long as Yu Yao pointed him to a dead end, or said that he didn't hit Bobo, and didn't leave a good impression on Yu Yao, the latter might have to charge him a lot of money, or let Matthew do something of equal value.
Taken together, these experiences are far beyond what is required for normal advancement.
Although he only got a part-time job in the end, Matthew didn't feel that it wasn't worth it.
Life is like this, after hard work, it is enough to make him feel satisfied, no matter how big or small the harvest is.
"I mean, we're just leaving? Don't go inside? ”
Bobo reluctantly looked back at the entrance to the submarine tomb.
Matthew's voice came from the front:
"It's all said I'm not a tomb robber."
With that, he walked straight out of the secret door.
"But, but, don't miss something......
Bobo is still looking back three times at a time.
A big hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the secret door and forcibly dragged her out!
The stubborn Mechanic will eventually have to compromise.
The road out of the bottom of the lake was also smooth.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any monsters, and then returned to the shore.
"We're in luck!"
Lumière habitually jumped on the shore -
This is the sequelae of the frogman potion, his jumping ability is very amazing, and he is actually four or five meters tall when he jumps casually.
"I didn't even hit a monster, it's really strange, there are usually a lot of plesiosaurs on the shore of Dalong Lake!"
Soon, however, Lumière, who was jumping in mid-air, changed color:
"Let's go!"
Matthew noticed that the direction he was looking at was the location where the Scourge and the Wind and Sand Thieves had fought before!
"Is someone coming? Scourge or Thieves? ”
Matthew asked cautiously.
"No, it's full of monsters! Oh my God, run, there's all corpses over there! Just now, those two groups of people were not persuaded by us, but were persuaded by the monsters in the lake! ”
Lumière couldn't help but scream.
At this moment, several monsters were already surrounding the shore from that direction.
Matthew grabbed Bobo's hand without saying a word, and ran away.
Lumière hurried along.
The group fled into the rainforest, and after a while, several plesiosaurs approached.
They looked at the dense rainforest and howled a few times, trying to step forward, as if they were afraid of something.
They gradually retreated, eventually disappearing into the lake.
……
A day later.
Bitter water swamp edge.
The figures of the three slowly emerged.
"What did you say was going on with those two groups of men yesterday?"
Lumière threw the question of the results of his long-term meditation to Matthew:
"Could it be that you secretly issued a bounty quest for Dalong Lake to both parties, so that they could lure away the monster for you, right?"
Matthew responded with a smile:
"It's possible for a real necromancer to do that."
Bobo corrected:
"And you're a real necromancer."
Matthew glanced at her:
"Actually, you don't have to follow me all the way, after leaving the tomb, the favor you owe me has been canceled out."
Bobo said solemnly:
"The favor owed by the strange mechanic is not something that can be paid off without blowing up, yesterday's tomb robbery operation was too smooth, I have to help you blow up something today!"
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and stopped trying to persuade her.
Instead, Bobo looked at the reeds in front of him and asked curiously:
"So what exactly are you doing here?"
"Find a few zombies and spend the night."
Matthew said casually.
His eyes searched the edge of the swamp, and soon he found his desired target.
Those were two zombies trapped in the reeds and mud.
There is also a shiny nameplate around the neck.
"Found it!"
Matthew happily turned back.
As a result, he met Bobo's extremely disgusted eyes head-on:
"Even zombies can stay overnight, necromancers are really unexpected."
Matthew couldn't laugh or cry.
He just wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding.
Right now.
Lumière, who had been watching the wind from the side, suddenly spoke:
"There's a fight in front of me again, hehe, I like to watch others fight the most."
"Let me see which idiots are reckless on my turf."
"Hehe, one of the idiots belongs to the group of thieves from yesterday, and the other group of idiots, uh, seems to be a little familiar...... I grass!! ”
"That's my tribe!!"
