625. We have decided to change the name of Xike City to "Creation Secret Academy" - 2024 First Update [3/3]
Counting the current career system from "game launch", Murphy has to admit that most of the various combat knowledge accepted by his young players are "wild roads".
In addition to the vampire players who can get in touch with the orthodox combat skills of the Vulture Clan, it is basically difficult for players who choose other classes to find a unified "skill advanced mode", take the death faction as an example, the birth of this faction originated from the lucky play of Little Fu Ge and Lao Huo in the "Rat King Doom" dungeon.
They killed the plague rat king Witzger and brought back the Book of Darkness and Annihilation, which introduced the Coffin Bearer profession into the game.
But the evil book written by the ancestors of the goatmen is more about the understanding and reinforcement of spells and tricks, and the outliers of the cultists, such as the coffin bearers, are completely in passing.
The latter profession "Salted Fish Turnover" also relied on Hogg to "sell" the elite skeleton army in the Smuggler's Woodland and defeat the Wolf Castle, and rescue the Ghost Witch and the Knights of Hades, which brought more knowledge to these young players who used the power of death to learn.
However, it seems that several enhancements are just a small sesame seed picked up from the pestilence gnoll, and the knowledge that has been changed several times is not expected to be subtle.
Especially for a true deathwalker like Nefitari, the necromancy that the players performed for her in the Valley of the Shadows seemed to her to be nothing short of a trick. Well, that's a very sad thing from every point of view.
Therefore, in the game changes since the closed beta, the "legitimacy" of each class is the goal that Murphy has been pursuing, not only to find Nephi Tali to be the teacher of the Death Apprentices, but also to start the shamanic inheritance by the way.
It is also necessary to have Tras, Femis, and Julia rewrite the Psyker's sorcery knowledge textbook, and introduce Transcia through Lord Vam's Berserker Church, so that melee fighters can also have a relatively orthodox teaching.
Murphy had even agreed with Captain Bloody Barbro and Earl Andre of White Mountain that when the closed beta phase began, the Blooddread and Thorn Clan would have to assign outstanding members to be responsible for the novice skills of the hunters and assassins among the players.
You can't just let Dorothy and the Blood Rat Gang do this all the time.
Dorothy is an explorer by profession, although the assassin skills are also good, but it is really just for self-defense, belonging to the kind of assassin who is full of concealment and self-protection ability, but the style of killing one person in ten steps is completely unable to learn a little essence.
Of course, skills are always difficult to quantify in the real world, this is not a real game after all, and players have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible to learn all skills.
For example, Master Kudell's series of smug slashing skills, so far only Brother Cat has mastered it.
This thing, like the martial arts cheats, is talented.
Therefore, Murphy's "career regularization" promotion is more about working on basic skills, and cultivating a solid enough foundation for young players, as for which direction they want to focus on development in the future, it is not something Murphy needs to worry about.
He's just an administrator.
He's not a babysitter.
At this time, in the darkness of the night in Sico, Murphy promised Nephitali two sets of Creator's inheritance as tuition, so that the mummy mother agreed to come down and work two jobs for the Governor.
But the mummy mother also has something to say.
Although she is a dead soul and does not need to think about resting, a person's energy is always limited, especially when she is also responsible for the stability of Xike City, teaching shamanic knowledge can barely do it with her heart, but it is unlikely that she will also be a death tutor to engage in "full-time teaching".
"I've seen the fighting styles of your Death Power users in the Shadow Valley before, and I have to admit that their heritage, though incomplete, is indeed capable of exerting a few percent of its power, and it is probably due to the lack of supplementation of death psionic spells that they all specialize in undead manipulation.
It's actually pretty easy to solve. ”
The mummy sat cross-legged on the steps of the broken church, waving her bandaged, and with her strange scent as if she had been sprinkled with perfume, and said to Murphy, who was sitting beside her:
"Among the powers that can be taught in the Dead Moon Sect is the knowledge of the manipulation and constructs of the dead, and I don't think you have to make them work hard to learn necromancy, this thing needs to be a good fit.
They are living beings, and with the life force flowing in their bodies, they are destined to be unable to perfectly control the spiritual energy of death, so it is better to strengthen the advantages they already have.
It's great to have a death contract.
The results work quickly in a short period of time, but the problem now is that the number of undead that can be contracted to your warriors is too small.
Back and forth are the types of skeleton army, which is at the bottom of the Hades creatures, of course, if they can get enough Hades breath to strengthen their skeleton army into Skeleton Warriors or Skeletron Heroes that are a different matter. ”
The mummy priest took out a large thickskin book from his bag, and the cover of this thing was inlaid with a dark gold skelet, which looked very imposing.
She shoved it into Murphy's hand and said:
"This is my own Necronomicon book, a detailed explanation of Hades creatures and manipulation from the Eternal Library, which records the cultivation and contract methods of the warriors and mummies from the Ghost Fire to the Ghouls to the Iron Zombies and the Scorpion Warrior and Mummy Guards.
Take it and let them transcribe it, just remember to transcribe it to the mummy guards.
This thing is the highest level necromantic contract that the silver-level deceased manipulator can contract, and then they have to enter the realm of the golden one, relying on the transcendent law of death to complete the soul contract, that realm is too far away for them to consider for the time being.
In addition, I am also a master of undead tectonics, and I learned a lot of powerful constructs from my mentor.
If your warriors need it, I can teach them how to make Underworld Warhounds and Bone Creepers out of psychic bones, and piece together Dead Slayer from the remains of the treated dead, and even various models of Tomb Destroyers.
And you know what's the best part?
Lord Murphy. ”
Nephitali opened her arms, as if to embrace the ruins of Sico in front of her.
She said in a cheerful tone that did not belong to the dead:
"Everything the undead constructors need can be found in Sico City! This city is the graveyard that necromantic manipulators crave the most! As long as they look for it, they can assemble an army of constructs using just the scraps they can find in the city!
Even give me enough time to build a terrifying Death Titan here!
That's the king unit of the Dead Moon Sect's undead constructor. ”
"It sounds very strong, and it deserves to be the absolute orthodoxy of Hades knowledge."
Murphy flipped through Nefitari's Necronomicon for the bizarre illustrations and ritualistic descriptions on the record, and he had the intention of throwing it on the forum as "development material", perhaps to give a few more apprentices to the now down-and-out Death faction.
However, His Excellency the Governor is more concerned with practicality than legitimacy.
So he asked in a whisper:
"What if. I mean, if the Black Plague broke through the Maginot Line and entered Transnesia, and you were still here at the time, would you be able to set off a sea of undead that would stop the gnolls? ”
"Wow, how dare you think about it!"
The mummy mother was amused.
The brain-soaked creature gave her a strange expression on her bandaged face, and she stood up, patted Murphy on the shoulder with a big grin, and said:
"I can awaken many, many necromancers, but my mental power is limited, and there are only a few hundred necromancers that can be perfectly manipulated at a time.
Of course, if I can use some relics of Hades, such as the Banner of Kings, then I can indeed control an invincible army of death in a short time.
For every point of the enemy's strength is reduced, my army is one point stronger.
The problem is that those Hades relics are not allowed to be taken out of the Land of Origin, you know?
To be honest, we Songhai people are not interested in the historical changes of the mainland, and occasionally some wanderers will record the stories of the journey, but that is only a record and do not have any ideas to participate in it.
You may call us arrogant or indifferent, but the greatest and only mission of the Songhai people is to guard the legacy left by the Creator in the world!
Therefore, both the kings of Hades and the Sun Spirit need to take up their duties in the Land of Origin, and if the extraterritorial gods also try to desecrate the legacy of the Creator, then all the powers of the Land of Origin will become their enemies.
At this point, the people of Songhai have nothing to fear!
Moreover, we have a sacred ancient covenant with the ancient kingdom of Callum, and once the Land of Origin is attacked, the army of the Dragon Emperor will also join the war.
This is probably because our ancestors and the ancestors of Callum exchanged knowledge during their first voyage at the beginning of the era, and I am still young and have not been to the Far East, but I have heard that the Dragon Emperor also has a death army capable of upending the world.
Their philosophy is very similar to that of our Songhai people, and the concept of the balance of yin and yang that they pursue is similar to the harmony between the dead moon and the scorching sun that the Songhai people pursue.
Hey, it's not for nothing that we're able to be friends with them! ”
"Well, you Songhai people are too awesome."
Governor Murphy did not hesitate to send a rainbow fart, and then asked "humbly":
"But you never thought of creating an artifact that could manipulate the undead on a large scale? For example, a crown can become the ruler of all the dead in the living world, sitting on a throne that strengthens the self, and even in the place of origin, it can remotely manipulate the necromancers in other parts of the continent
Sounds cool and practical, doesn't it? ”
"Ugh"
If it weren't for Nefitali's lack of real eyes, she would probably have to roll her eyes and complain.
She said:
"Your damn idea needs to be mummified in the Moon Holy City and then gnawed by the scarab beetle for a thousand years! The awakened spirits have their own will, and that is the last freedom that Hades has given them!
How can we, as gatekeepers of Hades, ignore the freedom of the dead and forcibly enslave them?
That's something only cultists do.
What's more, the kings of Hades will not allow us to do anything wrong, if we really dare to forge such an evil artifact, it is estimated that the Hades army of the entire Origin Land will gather to overthrow the Moon Holy City.
I can understand that in the eyes of the living, the subordinate and subordinate system of the dead does have a strong overarching color, but that is the traditional culture of our necromancy, not compulsory slavery.
Anyway, you can keep your bad thoughts hidden.
I thought it was just a bit rotten, but if the other Deathwalkers heard it, you'd probably want your seductive girlfriend to be on the 'Eternal Bounty' list. ”
"Okay, okay, I just asked casually, nothing else."
Murphy waved his hand.
He soon received news from Femis, and he got up and said to Nephitali:
"Your first Tranthia apprentice is already outside the city, are you going to meet him with me? By the way, can you let me ride your three-headed dog? ”
"If you're not afraid of being bitten to death by Sanchez, just try it."
The mummy mother exploded when she heard that the damn vampire was going to ride her beloved three-headed dog, and she screamed:
"I tell you, your small physique can't withstand the multiple bites of Sanchez, although he is only a puppy, his blood is noble, and his mother is the current king of three-headed dogs, His Excellency Peleus!
That's my mentor's guardian of Hades.
Back then, your mischievous girlfriend was almost bitten to death by His Excellency Peleus! If you dare to bully Sanchez, be careful with every cold wind blowing behind you. ”
"Okay, if you don't ride, don't ride, don't be angry."
Murphy spread his wings and hung in the air, waiting for the mummy mother to ride her three-headed dog.
But Sanchez was already asleep, and instead of disturbing her companion, Nephitali took out a strange crystal and rubbed it on it a few times and threw it on the ground, and with a buzzing sound, the crystal melted rapidly, and at the same time, a large beetle-like bug appeared in front of her.
The bug was clearly domesticated.
It's huge.
It has a beautiful black-gold shell and terrifying pincer-like mouthparts, and there are black spikes like a war halberd on its head, and the whole is like a long halberd worm that has been magnified more than ten times, and the sharp horns from the tail to the top of the head are more than three meters long, and there are gloomy moon patterns on the wings of this bug.
It was placed in a very beautiful and majestic saddle, and a small golden crown was fixed to its head in a special way, and there were two flags next to the saddle, one was the emblem of the Moon of Death, and the other had a wonderful pattern, which was probably the symbol of the Bohm clan from Nephitali.
There is also such a pattern on Nephitali's robes.
"This bug is a scarab?"
Murphy watched curiously as Nefitari climbed into the saddle with great vigour, grabbed the reins, and steered the beetle buzzing to take off, and he asked:
"I've long heard that the Songhai people are very fond of scarabs, and it is said that each of you adults has a scarab of his own, which is both a vehicle and a combat partner?"
"Well, the scarab beetle is the best friend of the Songhai people!"
The mummy mother said proudly:
"My scarab beetle 'Peng Peng' was the first place in the scarab contest forty-five years ago! Seeing that its crown is not, it is a symbol of its status as a 'champion bug'.
In fact, Peng Peng should have died with me, reborn as an even more powerful Dead Moon Scarab in Hades, but I was reluctant to let it go into the tomb with me, so I secretly let it go to the desert three days before I died.
As a result, the fool stayed by my grave until six years later, when I was chosen by my mentor to be an apprentice, and he happily accompanied me again.
Pembray's lifespan is nearing the end of his life.
Maybe in a few years, it will also go to Hades and be with me forever. ”
"Did you die of illness?"
Murphy whispered:
"I thought you volunteered to be a member of the Dead Moon Cult."
"I have not been in good health since I was a child, and I can always dream of many things in the world of Hades, and my father invited priests to come and see, and they said that I was born to be chosen by death, and I was destined to return to Hades and be resurrected again."
Speaking of her death, Nephitali did not have much sadness, and said in an open-minded tone:
"As the priests expected, I died at the age of twenty-four, and I never even fell in love. Then, six years after my death, I was resurrected by the Guru himself, and the day I became a mummy priest, my tribe celebrated me, and my father and mother saw me as the hope for the revitalization of the tribe.
You see, my tribe was one of the sixty-six families who had previously met the Creator, and it was quite prominent, but unfortunately it was implicated in the rebellion of the damned Mamluk warlords three hundred years ago.
Alas, my brain is not suitable for politics, and my mentor will not let me get involved in the complicated relationship between the pharaohs and the pharaohs, so I really don't know how to revitalize my tribe. ”
"Ah, that's easy!"
Murphy's eyes lit up and he said:
"Give me a drop of your blood, and if you still have it, I can let some Gentiles enter the world as warriors of your Bom tribe, and then they will be able to proclaim their prestige in the name of your tribe when they do the legends.
You see, it's great that your tribe doesn't have to sacrifice to gain great prestige. ”
"Huh, hey!"
The mummy mother exclaimed:
"You crooked and evil way, don't say it, it does have some operability! Is it really just a few drops of blood that will do? It is our custom to keep a vial of blood in the tomb, and I still carry it with me. ”
"Well, you'll just have to wait and see, of course, these foreigners are under your command, I mean if they make trouble, you'll have to carry it for them, but hey, little meaning with your terrible background."
Ps:
The fan value has been pulled to the highest, but there is still no way to solve this "wandering AI", and I have told the operation officer to prepare to ban these shameless bastards who don't know where they came from. Alas, I know that the development of technology is a good thing, but I really didn't expect it to be used for this.
There are 15 chapters of the alliance leader plus more in the past few days, and it's hard to say which day it is, but the 1st-7th are all double monthly passes, so the brothers don't need to save it, and it's OK to vote directly.
