91.Lumina's Requiem [31/60]
(Add more for 'Huo Cheng is very good' brother [16/20])
The girl team was very executorable, and after they decided to set off, it only took ten minutes to cross the large crack in the city through the stepped passage of the collapsed city wall at the edge of the city to reach the inner city. In addition to the four of them, Brother Meow, who was invited, also joined them as a temporary healer.
The four King Kongs under his command and his old cousin just formed a team of five people to explore the sewers and brush the level, and they didn't delay each other.
"Are you sure there's any job transfer here?"
Brother Meow, with a green psionic grass ring, clutched his secret staff, wearing an angry vampire robe despite being an oak apprentice.
It's not that he deliberately mixes and matches, it's mainly that the equipment he seized from the vampire psionic master has an entry for psychic perception and manipulation, and he is reluctant to change it.
Speaking of players, mixing and matching is the norm.
Which male character hasn't worn a mix of skirts and plate armor in the game?
Especially when you play a therapeutic milk ride and have to pursue the amount of healing, that coquettish open-chested and backless little blue dress is the best you can't miss, although the bald human man wearing a skirt and holding flowers is really spicy eyes, but I have to admit that this mix and match is full of intensity of beauty at a glance.
Brother Meow is obviously an intensity party, so he doesn't care about his too weird image at this time.
Standing at the base of the half-collapsed wall, the cunning man looked at the desolate inner city before him, and said to Lumina:
"It looks a lot worse here than in the outer city, at least some of the buildings over there are intact. Hey, it's been completely bulldozed here. ”
This is indeed the case.
The inner city, which should have been magnificent, is now in ruins, and there are no buildings left standing in sight of the five people.
The earth was obviously corroded by energy and turned into potholes, the dust had turned into a powder similar to gravel, and some buildings even exposed their foundations, even the solid masonry was so miserable that human remains could not even be imagined.
Cadman City's 400 years had been wiped clean in seven days by the filth of the astral plane, and the ground seemed to have been drained of its vitality, leaving only a shriveled and white "corpse".
And these five people are standing on top of this corpse at this time.
A gust of wind blew, causing the gray sand and gravel to fly everywhere like a gray desert scene, and such a miserable scene made the five people look at each other.
They looked far away.
I can only barely see that the former Blood Vulture Fortress still has a pedestal that looks like it has been weathered for thousands of years, so even the most skilled looters can be sent in, and it is difficult to find anything of value on the ground.
After seeing the tragic situation in the inner city with her own eyes, Lumina's heart was also half cold.
Although Madame Tracey was kind enough to tell Lumina everything she knew about the old lady who was suspected of being a bard, and drew a topographical map of her, it was bulldozed, and it was almost impossible to find the exact location.
"It's coming."
Brother Woo Meow noticed Lumina's loss, and the social person laughed, took the lead in taking a step, and said to the four girls behind him:
"Let's go, let's take a look, where is that place?"
"A bar called 'Bloodfang'."
Lumina also picked up her spirits and glanced at the log file in her player interface, and said to him:
"Lady Triss said she remembered the old lady always playing there, but that was more than 100 years ago."
"Huh? More than a hundred years ago? ”
Brother Meow blinked and said:
"Then the old lady died early, right? And it's all corroded like this, how can you see any bars? I don't think it's better to go to the cemetery in the inner city. The coffin is buried in the ground, so it won't be as miserable as the one on the ground, right? ”
"Yes, Uncle Meow is right."
Xiao Wei Ming pushed the witch hunter hat he had specially bought with his revolver, put on an exaggerated walking posture like a cowboy, rubbed his hands together and said:
"So you're about to fast forward to one of the classic evils of the Fourth Calamity, digging up graves and robbing graves? All right! It's so exciting, let's go, there's only an hour left in the game, get it before you go offline! ”
"Let's go!"
Orchid Hua grabbed the tower shield behind her and held it in her hand, and strode forward decisively.
It is said that the appearance of a thin girl carrying a tower shield as tall as her is really visually impactful, so that Brother Meow can't help but shrink her head.
He felt that if he met such a tough girl in reality, he would probably be beaten to death by three punches, well, it's better to be conservative, probably one punch can knock him down a senior social animal who doesn't exercise all year round and likes to wash his feet occasionally.
So, what is the origin of Lumina's mysterious little gang? Why is there always such a strange thing that ordinary people rarely see?
"Wait, there's a bit of a problem with the psionic fluctuations ahead."
After a few minutes, Brother Meow suddenly frowned.
As an oak apprentice, he had a keen sense of natural psionic powers, and despite the poison of the inner city, the wind still warned him.
There is danger ahead!
"Alert!"
He raised the staff in his hand, and made some unskillful spell casting movements.
In the whirlwind of the emerald streamer at the head of the staff, she summoned psionic thorns to wrap around the shieldmaid Orchid, and Sister Pomegranate popped out the three-edged spikes on her fist blade, and Lumina grabbed the shotgun behind her back and aimed forward.
The four girls protected the therapist Brother Meow in the center, and this feeling of being "protected" by the four girls made Brother Meow feel safe.
The heart said that choosing a career in therapy was indeed the right choice.
They vigilantly pushed in the direction of the cemetery, and after walking past the corroded and shattered metal fence, they saw a group of skeletons with missing arms and legs walking blankly on the bleak ground of the cemetery.
Some of them still have the weathered clothes they wore when they were buried, and some of them looked like they hadn't been buried for a long time, but their flesh and blood were also corroded by the astral spiritual energy.
"Lady Triss said that the astral psionic energy does not distinguish between attributes, and it may cause an imbalance in the death psionic energy in some areas, just like the one in front of you to bring the dead back to life."
Lumina explained in a whisper, and by the way, threw a range reconnaissance forward.
The feedback jumps into the player's interface:
Name: The soul of the dead who cannot rest in peace
Status: Decayed, restless, fragile limbs, positive energy and fragility
Evaluation: Similar strength, hostile
"You can fight!"
She said.
The next moment, the cheering reeds raised their twin guns and fired in a thumping burst like Sister Luck's magnifying moves, firing six shots at a distance close to the limit of the revolver's range, shattering the skulls of four skeletons.
On average, one and a half shots, and the shots are still moving targets, and the most important thing is that this little man hits the heads of skeletons.
That's too small.
This accurate marksmanship shocked Brother Wu Meow, and while throwing vines to entangle the skeleton that pounced on the ground, he said to Xiao Weiming:
"Little girl's marksmanship is so accurate, have you practiced it?"
"I've been playing with guns since I was five years old."
Xiao Wei Ming snorted and said:
"At that time, my grandfather took me to play, my grandfather was their famous fast gunner, I can also ride a horse, do you understand the gold content of the cowboy family? Although now the doctor won't let me ride."
"Ahem! Don't talk about reality! ”
Orchid reminded the uninhibited reeds to shut up, and then she took a deep breath and stepped forward with the tower shield to prop up her hands to block the scratches of the skeletons.
With Lumina's accurate shooting and Pomegranate's melee attack, the five-man squad moved forward steadily.
Brother Woo Meow originally wanted to show off the treatment of the wind of rejuvenation, but these four girls cooperated very well, and they didn't need him at all, so they could only hide far away like a despicable spellcaster and throw their natural anger, taking the opportunity to brush up on the skill level.
Sure enough, every coquettish heal has a wild DPS heart inside!
Small green balls of light were smashed out, not as powerful as a direct bullet, but with the benefit of being highly poisonous, although it was useless for a necromantic creature like a skeleton.
"There's a strange guy over there! Rumie, look! She's holding a saxophone! Maybe it's the old lady you're looking for! ”
Sister Pomegranate gave full play to her height advantage, and when the orchid kept blocking the siege of the skeletons, she jumped on the collapsed tombstone next to her to check left and right, and soon found a strange skeleton activity in the depths of the cemetery.
Lumina was overjoyed, and the team immediately adjusted direction.
There were a lot of skeletons in the tomb, but they were slow and fragile, and Brother Meow was able to slow them down with the shockwave branch of ordinary psionic impact, allowing the team to break through the blockade of the restless spirits and reach their destination in a few minutes.
"Wait! Don't fight, she won't attack us. ”
Lumina reached out and pressed the little reeds who wanted to shoot and execute, and she looked at the thin skeleton in front of her who was clutching a golden saxophone instrument with her white hand bones.
The latter didn't seem to notice the living around him.
It didn't really attack, but just blankly placed the mouthpiece of the instrument in its constantly moving palate, as if it were playing some kind of weird performance art.
"She wanted to blow the instrument, but she couldn't."
Orchid whispered.
Then he pushed Lumina next to him and said:
"Go! It should be the task flow when triggered, helping her fulfill her last wish. ”
"But. . . But I was only forced by my parents to learn a little music when I was a child, and I may not be able to play it well. ”
Lumina was a little hesitant and a little unconfident, but she was slapped on the ass by Sister Pomegranate and said:
"I'll blow it, but now is it up to you or me? Hurry up, don't rub around. ”
"Huh."
Lumi was forced forward.
Nervous, she gestured toward the skeleton and motioned for her to hand over the instrument to herself.
The thin skeleton seemed to understand what Lumina meant, and it was quite reluctant to stroke the instrument in its hand, and finally handed it over, and then it stood quietly in place, staring at Lumina in front of it with its black eyes.
It seems that something is waiting for.
The strange purple light in the eye sockets sometimes magnified and sometimes decreased, as if there was really a residual emotion in this skeleton.
Lumina adjusted her breath and looked the delicate golden saxophone up and down, but she noticed that it was similar in appearance to the saxophone, but not in the same construction, and luckily the general principle of the orchestral instrument was the same.
Under the guidance of Sister Pomegranate next to her, Lumina took a moment to familiarize herself with it, and then in the "gaze" of the thin skeleton in front of her, she put the mahogany-embellished mouthpiece to her mouth, and blew it with a not-so-skilful movement.
It's just the most basic sheet music that I learned in cram school when I was a child, but I can barely make a tune.
The rhythm was quite cheerful, in stark contrast to the staggering, tooth-baring white skeletons around them.
A few seconds later, amid the astonished gaze of the crowd, the thin skeleton seemed to be delighted at the music.
At first, she just swayed her pale skull and nodded her head as if to find a beat, but soon she swayed wider, and even danced her loose body to the otherworldly music she had never heard before.
It's like dancing the last song to a cheerful accompaniment a hundred years after death.
Although the scene of the skeletons dancing is not at all aesthetically pleasing or even strangely funny and terrifying, at this moment everyone else seems to be able to see a middle-aged lady dancing to the music.
It's all about it.
The more you jump, the more fun you get.
It's like forgetting the sad second death in the back of your mind, so that it can return to the warm eternal silence that has been disturbed by its rest.
It's even giving Lumina accompaniment.
The sound of bones colliding as it swayed was rhythmic like a drumbeat, and it was still beating after Lumina finished playing a song, completely immersed in the otherworldly music.
"Go on! Going on, she wants to dance to the end and fulfill her heart's desire. ”
Reeds whispered, and Lumina switched to a more soothing score.
This time, the skeleton's dancing became gentler as the music changed, and the "dancing" of the thin skeleton seemed to interfere with the other deceased.
In the astonished perception of the psychic master in the team, Brother Meow, he could feel a special force spreading out from the music of Lumina, who was becoming more and more in a state of flux, quieting the brainless restless dead.
They stood still, quietly surrounding the five-man squad and the dancing skeletons, like the audience watching a strange concert.
In the sound of music, the thin skeleton's dancing posture became more and more flexible, as if it had returned to the time when she was still alive, spinning and jumping on the small mound of death where she was buried, and even making a difficult one-legged upright dance posture, making this coming death also become gentle.
However, as it jumped, its bones began to emit puffs of green smoke under the slanting light of the setting sun.
It's like the scene when the vampires are burned.
By the time the second piece was finished, its entire body was shrouded in a flying bone mist, like the smoke of the prop masters on stage.
A dance is over.
She saluted the accompaniment musician with a dashing and proper leaning over, and when she looked up, her pale skull opened as if with the most satisfied smile.
Then, the entire skeleton collapsed in an instant, turning into flying ashes and dissipating.
Only a rusty key was left in place.
She rejected the generosity of death and rested again when her wish was fulfilled.
The skeletons around them also woke up like a dream, they seemed to finally realize their abnormal state, and one by one they chose to give up the power of enjoying the curse in the exclamation of Brother Meow, and fell or collapsed on the spot.
In just a few seconds, the entire unsettling cemetery was restored to the tranquility of the land of the dead.
The light of the setting sun fell on the messy land, making the five of them feel like they were in a dream for a while.
Lumina was silent.
She didn't know how to describe the feeling.
She felt as if she had seen a vision.
But the truth is that when she played the music to accompany the old skeleton, she seemed to really see a skillful and beautiful dancer dancing to the sound of music that she was not really good at, and she was content to die again.
Her last wish is granted, otherworldly music soothes her restless soul, and as Lumina bends down to pick up the rusted key on the ground, a line of tooltip jumps into the player's interface:
[The special score "Requiem: Otherworldly" has been recorded, and if you come into contact with the transfer item [Ness's Instrument Case Key], the subclass 'empty' can be transferred to the Bard Elf Score Mastery, yes/no to change jobs?] 】
"I got a job change reminder."
Lumina glanced back at Sister Pomegranate, and she whispered:
"But I'm not happy."
"Hypocrisy!"
Sister Pomegranate rolled her eyes, stepped forward and patted Lumina on the shoulder, and she whispered:
"You have just fulfilled the last prayer of a soul who has been dead for a hundred years, and sent her and her neighbors to rest in peace, so don't show such a sad expression, if this were to us, you would be called a mage at the size of your hand.
Be happy!
To play a game, you have to laugh and play. ”
"Okay."
Lumina pursed her lips, she stood up, looked at the key in her hand, looked at the grave that had been dug up at her feet, and said:
"Ness's music box is underground, it's a gift she left me, we'll have to dig it up"
"Wow, it's finally time for the grave digging session I've been looking forward to."
Xiao Weiming screamed, grabbed a few shovels from his psionic bag, and looked surprised:
"How do you have such a thing in your bag?"
"As a greedy adventurer, isn't digging a grave a basic operation?"
The 155-year-old Swordmaster grinned and gave a thumbs up in the setting sun, reflecting her white teeth, and she shouted:
"Be prepared, uncle! Hurry up, dig it up, and maybe even get a treasure chest. ”
