Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 76: The So-called Mage

Ye looked at the rabbi, and this man, though young on the surface, had in his body, in his eyes, even in his breath, a kind of mulberry that could not be hidden. This mulberry was made of dust that weathered a thousand years later, and this mulberry was made of rubble piled up after the depletion of the mulberry fields in the sea. In this rush, Leaf feels very young and young.

This is probably the biggest difference between holographic and keyboard games, where each NPC has its own story. While these stories were all done in advance by the program, they did not prevent them from blossoming in this NPC's future life.

Especially those NPCs that are of high rank and have some intelligence, system programs that give them a rough range of life trajectories or life journeys, where they can develop themselves according to their own ideas, which is also the first prototype of open-ended tasks that emerge.

Rabbi is obviously such a highly intelligent NPC, and Leaf doesn't know what this NPC has been through in the past years, but in the face of this NPC, she can still be infected by the smell of this NPC. This is probably one of the best places fate has ever done, allowing players to naturally and unnaturally integrate into game life, thus forgetting that they are just a player and getting them involved in these events.

The rabbi heard the answer to Ye's words and smiled slightly: "Really? ”

His smile looks beautiful, but it gives people a bitterness they can't feel.

“I wonder if Mr. Rabbi can tell me how I can answer Mr. Moore's question?” Ye had waited a while, but did not see what the rabbi meant in answering his own question, and had to ask his most wanted question.

Joke, she worked so hard to get here, of course, to accomplish the task, and as for other NPC gossip and other things that were just collateral, she didn't want to delay too much on these things.

“If I knew, I'd be dead myself. Do I have to stay here?” The rabbi crossed the leaf word and hummed his nose. Looks like Rabbi's temper isn't very good. Even after a thousand years of sedimentation and hammering, his temper hasn't changed much. It's really depressing.

A few black lines appeared on the head of the leaf words, so this guy didn't know either. All of a sudden, she realized one more thing. Wait, what is he talking about?

“If I knew, I'd be dead myself. Do I have to stay here?” This is the answer just given to Ye by Rabbi, and in this short sentence there is a very important question besides telling Ye that he does not know Ye words, so that they cannot be ignored. That is, this rabbi once did the same thing as Moore, he traded for the Dark World!

Ye was slightly stunned. She looked at the rabbi, and this man had been wearing a white robe, like the kind of robe worn for the sacrifice in the temple. Almost made Leaf think that this guy was sacrificed, but didn't think that he was also a magician?

“Are you a magician, too?” Leaf calmly measured the rabbi, and finally asked so carefully.

“Magician?” Rabbi's eyebrows rose slightly, and then he laughed. “Is that what Moore told you? You call yourself a magician? ”

Isn't that right? But she wouldn't have answered Rabbi's question foolishly, she just laughed silly and didn't talk. And the rabbi didn't seem to care about the answer to the leaf words either, and he hummed his nose softly: “Looks like he was still so timid that he didn't dare to tell anyone what his real identity was until now. ”

Leaf's curiosity was hooked up by the rabbi, although she didn't ask questions, but the look in her eyes had betrayed the cry in her heart now. If it weren't for her surface, it would have been sedative, just because a person could see that her heart was constantly waving the flag -- come on, come on, come on, what is it? Is there any reason to be so mysterious?

“Do you know a magician? ”

Ye was slightly stunned, the magician who did not know, nodded her head: “I know.” But at the same time, I wonder, if Moore is a magician, is it necessary to be so mysterious? There are hundreds of millions of magicians, not to mention magicians, on this continent of Maga. What's so unusual about that?

The rabbi seemed to see through the idea of leaf words, and he smiled softly and snorted a little: “Do you think I'm talking about magicians who are the same as those half-handed people on the continent of Marga today? ”

Ye Yip did not answer, but his heart has already responded to the rabbi. Isn't it the same? In her view, the magician was the same no matter how divided, raising kids, putting black arrows on them, and controlling skills were invincible.

Rabbi continued, “Do you know who the first magician was? ”

Ye shook her head, how could she know that this kind of thing was not recorded in the National Library, who knows how the game planners arranged it?

“The first magician is a woman, and we all call her Elijah, of course, that's the dragon language, and in the present words, she is the ‘pioneer'.” The rabbi smiled slightly and saw that the leaves had found a different place.

“Dragon language? Why would her name be Dragon?” Ye looked at the rabbi strangely, couldn't the first magician or dragon clan? A very fatal image immediately appeared in the mind of the leaf word. A firecracker provoked huge wings to fly in mid-air, while a staff was grabbed on his front paw, and behind him there were many squeaky screaming kids jumping. What's all this mess?

“That's because her father was a dragon prince.” Rabbi's eyes looked far away and seemed to fall into the deepest memory.

And the leaves almost sprayed a sip of water, what? Elijalan's father was a dragon prince, so what was his mother? Humans, elves? Or what?

“Her mother was a gentle human being, but she was too weak for the dragon's powerful vitality.” Rabbi seemed to have mind-reading skills, and whenever a leaf word was thinking about something, it was immediately seen through by Rabbi.

Ye felt that she was not very pure, and at this moment she thought of a very childless image. And the most curious thing about her is, under what shape does the Dragons hybridize to humans? Is it a human or a dragon? And humans give birth to dragon children, fetuses or eggs...

Ah, of course, that's not the point, the point is that she really wants to distort herself.

Even if Rabbi was really mind-reading, he guessed the player's mind within the mission, and of course he had no way of knowing the messy questions that Ye is now thinking of in his heart. He saw Leaf's contemplative face and thought that she was listening to her story with all her heart, so he continued to say the following things.

“Humanity is, logically, the lowest race on the entire continent, and they are no more powerful than they are in numbers with them.” The rabbi seemed a little despised, the leaf words listened to him, unjustifiably produced some sighs, turns out all the planning looked so down on his race, what's wrong with the crowd? What a wonderful person, * * * I also said, how powerful people are and how high the fires are for people to pick up wood. Besides, she didn't feel how noble and beautiful the other races were.

“The Dragons, on the other hand, are the creatures of the entire Maga continent at the top of the race, and they are powerful, intelligent, possess supreme power and power, and they dwell between the Demons and the Divine Nation, with a set of their own survival patterns. Elijalan's father was born at the height of the entire dragon clan and thought he was the most handsome and robust dragon since ancient times, full of golden scales with eyes like blue sky. He has power over the entire Dragon Nation, and such a prince should, logically, marry a superior Dragon woman and then give birth to a more noble Dragon Nation. Unfortunately, he was injured and treated by a human woman on a hunt trip.” Rabbi said here, looking at the leaves with those gray eyes, and said, "By the time you get here, you must know who that human woman is. ”

Leaf nods her head, bullshit, so simple she knows, of course. Doesn't the usual mission or story follow this bloody route? Just like Cher and the elf.

“He fell in love with this human woman and despite the opposition of his people, he finally married this human being and gave birth to the greatest shame in the history of the Dragons… it was a foetus.” The rabbi sighed and saw how heartbroken he was when he said that. “For the Dragon Nation, the egg shell of the newborn Dragon Egg is the best complement to improve the Dragon Nation's ability, but this fetus was born with light and nothing. She was a girl, as beautiful as her father, but she had a human body. As I said earlier, humanity is the most vulnerable race, even the woman who died shortly after the baby was left. This girl is our first magician, Elijalan. Of course, back then, she was just a kid. ”

“Later, Elijalan's father could not marry another dragon woman under the oppression of the entire dragon people for the sake of the development of the Dragon people. Unfortunately, the dragon woman's temper was not very good, and it was not good for Elijalan. Coupled with Elijah's poor health, if his father hadn't protected her from time to time, she wouldn't have survived adulthood. Strangely, however, Elijalan, a hybrid of freaks and shame, who was seen by the entire dragon race, showed great control over magic after she was eight years old, even more than any dragon race, which frightened Elijalan's stepmother, who was framed, designed everywhere, and finally forced Elijalan to leave the dragon race after the age of fifteen. Although Elijalan's father knew that it was all a trick of his wife, he had no way of protecting his daughter but to send her to the capital of mankind to learn magic control from the greatest magician, Sorobabo. ”

Ye listened quietly to Rabbi's story, and she had changed her tone of mind from the beginning to a carefully documented one, even turning on the task recording function to record all the stories Rabbi had told. Because she implicitly felt that the story was definitely not as simple as a story, and that it must have some connection to the whole game's branch task. These branch missions were not recorded in the National Library, and it can be seen that the rulers at the time were reluctant to let the players know about them, but rather that these stories constituted the other side of a vast system of missions.

“Soon in the process of teaching Elijah's magic, Sorobabo discovered the powerful power in her body, which belongs not to the Dragon Nation nor to mankind, but to the cursed power of an unknown dark world. ”

“Cursed power?” Ye was slightly stunned, and she remembered that the magician was best at a series of curses that lowered the opponent's attributes, and wondered what this curse had to do with the power of the curse on so-called Elijah Lang?

“Yes, because she is the child left with the union of the highest creature and the lowest creature, and at the moment of her birth she was cursed by the Supreme God, and this curse will follow her from birth to death. Elijalan's physical weakness is also very much related to this curse.” The rabbi sighed: "Thorogabo had so much pity for Elijalan that he tried to hide the secret, but what he didn't know was that Elijalan knew it long ago. She is a hybrid, not only has dragon power, but also has human wisdom, she sees life and death very clearly, she doesn't mind. However, she really likes control over powerful magic, so she has always supported her increasingly frail body with an extremely strong mental strength. ”

“How did she become a magician?” Ye heard the rabbi for half a day and did not mention that Elijah had become a magician, so he was in a bit of a hurry.

Instead, the rabbi waved gently, indicating that the leaves were slightly restless and allowed themselves to continue. “Do you remember Elijalan's stepmother? It was a noble Blue Dragon, but noble lineage did not mean that her heart was as pure and beautiful as it was, at least in some cases her practices completely obliterated the light and levity of the Dragon Nation. Before Elijalan's father met her mother, she was in fact the chosen one of the people to marry the prince, but how did she know that Elijalan's father had brought her mother back after the hunt, despite the opposition of the whole family, to marry the young girl. Jealousy is an unspeakable poison because jealousy makes this noble blue dragon do the poisoning of Elijah's mother. Of course, it was well concealed. Although, later, she had married Elijalan's father as she wished, she was jealous that Elijalan had taken all her husband's love and had exhausted all means to drive Elijalan away. That did not count. She wanted Elijalan to disappear and disappear completely. But unfortunately, Solo Gbagbo was not so good at it, which left her with no chance to do it. She persevered until the opportunity came, and she finally killed Solo Gbagbo! ”

Ye touched his chin and suddenly felt that love was actually quite crazy. The Blue Dragon said nothing but didn't want anyone to go into the husband's heart and think about his only husband. In fact, there was nothing wrong with it, but at this time, it seemed to be full of sin. It can only be said that she understands her thoughts but cannot agree with her approach.

“After killing Soro Gbagbo, she wanted to strike Elijalan, and until the spirit of Elijalan, which had done everything, finally collapsed, the curse and darkness that lay hidden in her heart broke out completely and became a huge black hole, destroying all of Elijalan's goodness. There's only one word left in her heart - revenge! There is darkness when there is light, as if there were demons when there were gods. When Elijah changed, all her power was devoured by the dark world, transforming all her abilities into a new force. And the power of the curse finally became Elijah's most powerful attack, and she became the first dark magician on the continent. Actually, the magician.” The rabbi shook his head, seemingly sighing at Elijalan's past, and again at what had long disappeared.

“And then what?” Leaf words are already attracted to the story.

“Later? She returned to the Dragon Nation, and the entire Dragon Nation suffered an unprecedented fatal blow. No one could imagine that such a powerful Dragon Nation would eventually die in the hands of a small hybrid. Elijalan's father begged his daughter to save a life for his race, but Elijalan, who had lost his mind altogether, ended up killing even his own father. She completely became a killing machine in the dark world in the bright world. ”

“Ah, the dragons are gone?” Ye stunned for a moment. No way, she saw a red dragon not long ago.

Rabbi shook his head: “No, but it's almost doomed. Elijalan just hung all the adult dragons, but forgot that there are many dragon eggs in the Dragon tribe. These dragon eggs were fortunate enough to escape her attack, but unfortunately, they were influenced by Elijah's powerful black scent and finally became a kind of dark creature. It's just that they've been struggling for light, but the effect isn't obvious. These dragon eggs were cultivated with a dark smell, and although they were hatched out, the reproductive capacity of the dragon family subsequently decreased significantly. Thereafter, the most powerful dragons finally withdrew from the historical arena and drowned in the most hidden corners of the Maga continent, waiting for their peak period to return. ”

No wonder there are so few dragons, so there is a story in it. Leaf raised her eyebrows, and she remembered in her last life that finding a dragon hole would make the whole continent crazy. After all, dragons represent not only tremendous abilities, but also dominance.

“So what happened to Elijah?” Ye thought, Rabbi said such a half-day insignificant question could never be just to bring out a woman whose presence must have a huge relationship with Moore.

“After the dragon clan was eliminated, Elijalan became a powerful magician on the Malaga continent, but Elijalan did not approve of the name magician, who called herself a magician. Because, in her heart, she knew that she had completely lost her qualities as a magician to look up to the light, and since she had dedicated everything to the dark world, she had to turn her back to the light, face the dark all her life, and there would be no more peace.” When Rabbi came here, he suddenly asked Ye: “Do you know what a magician means? ”

There was really no research on this leaf word. She always thought that a magician was a magician, but it was the name of a profession, but it definitely didn't seem that way now. “I'm sorry, Mr. Rabbi, but I'm a shallow learner and don't know what the magician stands for. ”

“The magician is actually a dark world word, it means‘ cursed man for life ', this is Elijalan's summary of his life, but people on the Maga continent do not know the dark world word, they just think that the magician is as powerful a profession as the magician, so there are people eager to be able to find Elijalan wanting to be her disciple and become a magician.” The rabbi turned his body and walked towards a prayer chair not far away, and his white robe dragged into a ruined temple, looking desolate.

“Elijalan did not refuse. I still don't know why she doesn't reject these people's ideas and wants them all to be ‘cursed for life’? Or just want to pass on your skills. In short, for a long time after that, the magician emerged to glory and even became a strong profession comparable to that of the magician. Although Elijalan's past was shameful, the world was, after all, a world of worshippers, capable of being the idol worshipped by all magicians. Until one day, Elijalan finally couldn't stand suffering in the light world, and she abandoned all her past and threw herself into the dark world that belonged to her, finally becoming - the only ruler of the dark world, the Dark Queen. ”

“The Dark Queen!” Ye finally shouted, this is a super BOSS stronger than Naga, unlike Naga, who belongs to the Demon Nation, she belongs to the pure dark world. Even in the National Library, the Naga Demon King once prayed to the Dark Queen for the power of darkness and was promised by the Dark Queen, but at a heavy price. As for what the cost is, it's not as clear in the library.

“Yes, have you heard?” The rabbi was somewhat surprised by the leaf word, and it looks like the elf knows something.

“Yes, I have seen in the National Library records that Naga, the Demon King, once prayed to the Dark Queen as a teenager and was promised, but at the end of the day, a terrible price was paid, but I don't know what that cost was.” Leaf told the rabbi what she knew without hesitation, and now she's convinced that this Elijalan is definitely a super BOSS in a branch mission, so it's hard to say if it's the ultimate BOSS.

For the explanation of the leaf words, the rabbi nodded: “Nothing wrong, nothing wrong with what you said. Naga did pay a heavy price, and the price he paid was actually similar to ours. ”

“Never die? ”

“No, it is never resurrected.” Rabbi smiles: “Naga gave his body to Elijah because his body was born with a magical ability to gather the forces of darkness indefinitely. Elijah made himself a piece of jewellery with the body of Naga that adds a touch of darkness to him, meaning that Naga's body will never belong to him for the rest of his life. ”

“So Naga, who fought all the heroes back then, was actually just an empty soul?” Ye's words are quite surprising, because even her reborn man has never seen Naga, so she has no idea what Naga looks like.

“You could say that, or not.” Rabbi shook his head: “Although Naga was unable to resurrect his body, he could create many alternates and attach his soul to these alternates, which were the very ones who fought the heroes back in the day. ”

Ye suddenly thought of a question: “Wait, wait, you mean Moore actually sold his death to Elijah, the Dark Queen, in exchange for great magician power, and beat Naga? ”

“You could say that. ”

“So Naga's power comes from the Dark Queen, and Moore's power comes from the Dark Queen, isn't that equivalent to the Dark Queen hitting herself?” Ye only thought it strange: “Why would she do that? ”

“I didn't really want to understand the problem either, but then, after thousands of years of washing, I thought I could understand Elijah's thoughts. ”

“What?”

“When a person is too lonely, it's inevitable to have some fun, isn't it?” When Rabbi said that, he had a shallow smile on his face, but Ye could tell that his smile was so sad that there was nothing he could do. Ye suddenly had that slight understanding of Elijah's approach, and when she was too lonely in her past life, she would do some boring things, such as provoke a war between several guilds, her left-handed fisherman, although not as beautiful as the Dark Queen, but the abominable nature was actually similar.

So Elijahran is actually a very poor man.

After listening to such a story, Ye Yi did not know where to start the secret task of the Dark Queen, but it was a good thing that she had at least an intuitive understanding of the whole incident. Nor did she forget to ask the rabbi, "Can't Mr. Moore just die? ”

Rabbi shook his head: "Do you know who I am? ”

“Mr. Moore's rabbi? ”

“That's just one of the least visible of my myriad identities.” Rabbi smiled slightly: “Actually, I was one of the first disciples to follow Elijalan, and there were eight of them who became her disciples with me, and we all gave the power of our death to the Dark World in exchange for stronger power. So, to this day, we are alive, humble and pathetic. How can we possibly find a way to die if we have no way to die, a Moore?” Rabbi shook his head: “If there was a way, we'd be dead by now, why wait for you to come here and tell you all this crap? ”

Ye suddenly thought the rabbi was pathetic, and she nodded and said she understood what the rabbi meant: "Okay, Mr. Rabbi, I'll tell Mr. Moore everything I know. ”

“You can tell Moore that no one can escape the Dark Queen's curse, no one, no matter what.” The rabbi bent down and, at the feet of the prayer chair, pulled out a green grass in the crevices of the shattered temple. He stared quietly at the grass, with a little warmth in his eyes, in such a rubble, in such a cold, such a green is very likable. He turned his head and handed over the grass in his hand to Ye: “I want to thank you, in these countless lonely years, for listening to me, which makes me very happy, this grass is for you. ”

Although the green grass seemed very ordinary, the Ye word was still respectfully followed by a look at the attributes, only to see that the temple's hope, taking, can randomly increase the character attributes. This is really good stuff! Leaf hastily looked around, hoping to find a few more, but seemed disappointed, as if there was only one grass in this ruined temple and nothing else.

“By the way, you're not carrying something else on you.” The rabbi suddenly spoke.

Ye stunned for a moment and nodded continuously. She overheard the story. If not for the rabbi's words, she would have forgotten the most important thing in general. She hastily pulled out the sacred arrow of light contaminated by Sacramento from the package and forcefully handed it to Rabbi: "I came here for the purpose of washing away the filth belonging to Sacramento with the water of the Sacramento Springs, wondering if Mr. Rabbi could fulfill my little wish. ”

Rabbi grabbed the arrow in Ye's hand, looked around and smiled: “Turns out it's Little Doyle's arrow. I still think it's something big. Go on, go wash it. ”

Little Doyle... Ye Yip heard this name, couldn't help but have a myriad of black lines on their heads. Are you kidding me? They want to be the hero of Doyle the Elf King. In front of this old leprechaun who doesn't know how long he has lived, he becomes the younger generation, he becomes Little Doyle. How many generations are lower than this rabbi?

Though her heart was so defamatory, Ye did not have the courage to take out all the subject of her belly defamation and complain to the rabbi. She withstood the burning of the holy arrow of light on her fingers and palms. Bi respectfully picked it up from the rabbi's hand again, then immediately rushed to the side of the holy spring, threw the holy arrow into the spring water and began to wash it.

The arrow of the holy light was like burnt iron, and immediately after it was thrown into the holy spring, a white eye appeared, and a "breeze” crisp sounded, heartbreaking and frightening. The leaves took off her gloves and immersed her hands in the spring water, which immediately surrounded her hands and quickly restored the part that had just been burned by the arrows of the Holy Light. The leaves grabbed the arrow of holy light in the spring water and washed it carefully.

“The stain on the Holy Light Arrow has some dissolution and needs to continue to be cleaned. ”

“The stain on the Holy Light Arrow has some more dissolution and needs to be kept clean. ”

“The stains on the Holy Light Arrow seem to have been washed away, and you have to keep trying. ”

……

Leaf words are constantly washing Holy Light arrows, while system consciousness has been very annoying in her ears, suggesting that Leaf words she is not yet diligent fast enough, to continue diligently faster, otherwise there is no head.

So bent over and washed in the pool for at least 10 minutes, the leaves finally heard the system prompt Lazy Yang to say: "You have cleaned all the stains on the arrow of the Holy Light and hurry back and show them to the people concerned. ”

Leaf words, which straightened his waist, lifted his arms, and looked at the holy arrow in his hand, which was pure white, as if it were made of silver, and the glow of the unseen, but if you look at the properties, you can only see it says: "The arrow of the holy light washed.” There are no more hints, it looks like you need to go back to Natasha to find out what this thing really does or what it does.

This is the running errand mission.

Although the task is difficult and the process is difficult, it cannot be concealed as a more advanced task of running errands.

The so-called player, is to be arranged by NPC to run errands, there is no other argument.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Rabbi, for the Holy Light Arrow I have cleaned and thank you for allowing me to use the Holy Springs.” The leaves don't forget to thank the rabbi.

Rabbi pulled a yellow map out of his sleeve: "I remember, I have a little something here about Little Doyle that you might be interested in, so I'll give it to you. ”

Leaf looked at the yellow map and instantly buzzed in his head, no way, no way! Is this the last Elf King Doyle map fragment! That's what it takes to break through a shoe and get nowhere. Ye reached out and took the map from the rabbi's hand, sincerely thanking him.

“Let's get out of here. It looks like it's dawn. There shouldn't be any nasty ghosts on the way back.” The rabbi nodded at the leaf words and then turned to the shadow of the temple, turning his eyes and disappearing.

The leaves carried the map fragments into the package and began to walk towards the outside of the temple, which was already dawn. When the sun shines into the ground, all the ghosts disappear, just as they came silent and left silent, really some good comrades. (To be continued.
