The night is as cool as water.
A small northern town, northwest corner of Gladstone City, Fleming Low School of Magic, third floor of apprentice apartment, room 309 at the far corner.
With a soft 'wow' sound, the quilt was lifted, and a thin black-haired young man sat up abruptly. The moonlight penetrated into the room through the glazed windows, reflecting the young man's face as white as snow.
Raising his thin arms, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, the terror of a nightmare still remained in the boy's black eyes.
"Have I really arrived in the world of Ferroman? The dark world, the dying gods, the bloody night, the brilliance of magic, saving the world, are all these real?"
The boy's mind is very messed up, very messed up.
His name is Link, an Earthling, at least an hour ago.
An hour ago, he was playing the game "Myth" at home.
"Myth" is the most popular virtual reality online game on the planet. It describes a tragic world gradually occupied by dark forces. In the game, he is the No. 1 Dharma God in the entire server, and the head magician of the No. 1 guild Star Dream. Before the accident, he and his comrades were challenging the ultimate boss of the Dark Legion's latest expansion pack, Nosamas, the abyss lord.
Nosamas is a demigod-level powerhouse, one of the three mortal giants of the Dark Legion. The challenge process is very difficult. After finally grinding the boss into residual blood, when he entered the killing line, the entire team had more than a hundred people. Everyone has fallen to the ground, only he is still alive.
At the last moment, Link activated the special effects of the artifact 'Sword of Seraphim', pouring huge energy into his body, entering a short-term invincible state for 5 seconds.
In 5 seconds, Link and the almost crazy BOSS fought head-to-head with three fingers of death!
finger of death.
Level 19 legendary magic.
Function: After hitting the opponent, the magic will be judged according to the strength of the opponent's body, which has a high probability of causing the opponent's sudden death!
(The player is using the castrated version, which can only be used after the boss enters the killing line.)
The scary thing about this magic is that it can judge the opponent regardless of the level of the opponent. Even if it is a god, if the magic judgment is valid, it can be slaughtered directly!
After three magic spells, Link and BOSS' Finger of Death were judged to take effect at the same time, and both of them died.
But the strange thing is that after the death of Link's game body, he did not resurrect in the cemetery at the entrance of the copy, but entered a dark space.
In this space, there is a light group with a weak light. He claims to be the main god of the glorious camp, the Lord of Radiance. In the distant world of Ferroman, the glorious camp is about to fall completely. As the main god, his power has also been greatly weakened. On the verge of falling, he begged Link to save the shattered world of Ferromen.
Link just listens to such lofty things as saving the world, who would take it seriously
He mistakenly thought that this was the CG animation of killing the ultimate boss of the game. He had just killed the boss, and he was so proud that he agreed to it by mistake, and ended up being trapped in this ghost place!
Turning his head to look around, Link can vaguely see the layout of the room under the silver moonlight.
The room is not too big or too small, more than 30 square meters, beside the window is a combination bookcase full of exotic styles, a chair, a single bed against the wall, and a storage bedside table beside the bed, that's all.
There were three books in the bookcase, and Link found that he could clearly remember the titles of the books, namely "A General Theory of Elemental Magic", "On the Balance of the World", and "Light and Darkness", all of which he borrowed from the college library , are all basic enlightenment books.
More memories flooded Link's mind. His body was also called Link. He was the youngest son of a small lord in the southern hills of the Norton Kingdom. He was 17 years old this year. Learn one of the most basic tricks: the mage's hand.
In the academy, this is an unknown guy, and almost no one pays attention to him.
Of course, none of this matters now.
Jumping off the bed, without putting on his shoes, Link ran to the calendar hanging by the desk, and saw today's date clearly written on the sheepskin calendar.
"October 09, 1056 of the Glorious Calendar."
Link suddenly took a breath, this is a very ordinary day, but after today, this day will be forever remembered by the intelligent beings in the entire Ferroman world!
Because in the middle of the night, the dark elves, the vanguard of the dark army, successfully raided the city of Gladstone, followed by a massacre. 150,000 people in the city were killed in one day and one night, and their souls were sacrificed by the dark elves. Sacrificial to Rose, the spider queen of their faith, no more than a thousand survivors survived in the end!
The sacrificed corpses were piled up in the Glass River outside the city. The river was almost cut off by the corpses, and the river was even redder.
The city of Gladstone was also burnt to ruins overnight.
This event is called the 'Blood Moon Change'!
Afterwards, a terrible war that swept across the entire Ferroman continent kicked off, and the Dark Age began from then on, and there was no sign of stopping until more than 20 years later, but it became more and more fierce.
These are all the history of the game "Myth", but after comparing the memories of the boy in his mind, Link found that the world he is in now is almost exactly the same as "Myth".
The only difference is that in the previous game, the time was already 1076. At that time, the glorious faction was losing ground, with more defeats than victories, the territory was shrinking, internal chaos was frequent, and the situation was extremely depressed. But now, the world is at the very beginning of a disaster.
There will be a blood moon change tonight!
Link felt chills in his heart. He turned his head and saw a pocket watch on the bedside table. He took a few quick steps to pick up the pocket watch and opened it. The hands of the pocket watch were luminous, produced by the dwarves, and the time could be seen clearly. It was 9:35 in the middle of the night. .
"In less than an hour, the assassination of the dark elves will begin!" Link's heart trembled.
That night, the dark elf assassins were the first to wreak havoc. They sneaked into Gladstone City early, disguised themselves meticulously, and formulated an extremely careful assassination plan.
In the history of the game, the assassination started at 10:30 and lasted for an hour.
During this hour, 99% of all the people in the city who were able to come forward to stabilize the situation were killed, and most of the remaining survivors were seriously injured. When the dark elves began to attack, the entire city fell into endless chaos, and the army of dark elves hardly encountered any What a decent resistance.
Why does he know so clearly
Because in the "Myth" game, every player who enters the game will experience a novice mission on the night of the blood moon, and their mission is to escape from Grystone.
Link has certainly experienced it, but he didn't expect to experience it again in the real world.
"How can I save myself?"
Link walked up and down the room, constantly asking himself.
He will experience a terrible massacre in another world. If he does not escape, he will definitely become a member of the floating corpses on the Glass River tomorrow morning!
The upcoming incident made Link a little terrified. However, as a magical magician in the game, his psychological quality is very strong. He immediately began to think about how to deal with the current situation.
Suddenly, Link's heart moved violently, and then he felt a glowing number appear in his mind, and the number displayed was 20.
"This is... freedom points? Is everything the God of Radiance said true?" Link was immediately excited.
In the game, the God of Radiance is the main god of the Radiance faction. The same is true in this different world, the boy's memory verified this point.
In the strange space he experienced before crossing, the Lord of Radiance told him that in order to allow him to escape from Griston, he would get 20 free points, and by consuming the free points, he would get initial magical power.
This made Link's eyes shine. He is just a magic god in the game, and he knows nothing about the principles of magic. If he wants to truly master magic, he needs to go to the magic academy to study, and it will take a lot of time. Situation, this is impossible.
"How to use free points?" he asked immediately.
There was a light on the edge of the horizon, and Link found a line of glowing clear characters on the edge of his horizon, which was exactly the same as in the game.
The font starts to refresh downwards.
'The game system is loading... Loading complete. '
'Scanning target body properties... Scan complete. '
"Player: Link Moleney (Noble)
Title: Magic Apprentice
Mana recovery rate: 0.2 points per hour.
Mana cap: 1 (For mana consumption, refer to the free point consumption table)
Current Mastery of Magic: Levelless Mage Hand (consumes 0.2 mana)
Current Equipment: None. "
Link looked at it inexplicably: "What is this? Why is it so similar to the magician's game attribute panel... However, this body is really a waste material, and this data is almost indistinguishable from ordinary people."
Immediately afterwards, the game system gave detailed instructions.
"In order to allow players to adapt to the real Ferroman world as soon as possible, the player's body is integrated into the game system. The game system will issue tasks to the players. After completing the tasks, the players will get more free points."
"What's the use of being free?"
Immediately new information appeared in the horizon.
"Free points can be exchanged for player physical attributes."
"Exchange relationship: 1 point of freedom = 1 point of mana recovery speed = 10 points of mana upper limit."
"Free points can buy magic."
"The magic price is:
Mortal magic: Level 0 magic = 1 point of freedom. Level 1 Magic = 10 Freedom Points. Level 2 magic = 20 free points, and so on, level 10 magic = 100 free points.
Legendary magic: Level 11 is 500 free points, level 12 is 1000 free points, level 13 is 2000, and so on, level 19 peak legendary magic is 128000 free points.
Demigod: Currently not unlocked. "
Well, the instructions are clear enough.
In other words, as long as Link continues to complete the tasks released by the game system, he will continue to gain free points and grow continuously until he reaches the peak of legend.
Of course, that's for later.
Now, Link only has 20 free points, and he must allocate these points reasonably so that he can gain enough power to escape from Grystone.
In the previous game, Link chose to be a magician, so the starting point for him to escape from Gristone City was also the Fleming Academy of Low Magic.
On the night of the blood moon, the Academy of Magic is the focus of the dark elf assassins.
The magic academy is very small, with only one hundred magic apprentices, among which there are less than twenty official magicians, and the highest level of magicians is only level 4.
But there are at least two hundred assassins sent here, and there are more than twenty assassins lurking here in advance.
Half of the magic instructors in the academy were directly killed in their sleep. The surviving ones came to their senses, but they were outnumbered in the end. In the end, the entire magic academy was wiped out, and even the magic apprentices were killed!
The whole process was a massacre!
Recalling the details of his escape experience in his previous life, Link first bought the magic to use for himself.
"Summoning magic list."
A large number of slowly rotating glowing cards suddenly appeared in the field of vision, each of which was a spell. The upper left corner of the card marked the consumption of this mana, and the upper right corner marked the magic level, from 0-level apprentice magic to 19-level legendary pinnacle magic, Everything is available, there are thousands of cards.
Among these cards, the higher the level, the brighter the light.
The brilliant light of those legendary magic cards almost blinded Link's eyes. With a glance, Link saw the famous legendary spells such as 'Finger of Death', 'Doomsday Meteorite', 'Great Disintegration' and so on.
"Pit, if I have 2000 free points, I can definitely turn the tide of the battle by myself tonight, but it's a pity that I only have 20 points." '
With the weak appearance of the Lord of Radiance, it is probably too much to send him here. Giving him 20 points is already very good. If there is more, the miserable old guy will probably die immediately.
"Screen, only select level 0 magic."
Although high-level magic is good, he can't afford any of it. Although he can afford level 1 magic, one needs 10 points of freedom, and the energy consumption is much higher than that of level 0 magic, so he has to act accordingly.
As for level 2 magic, the price of 20 free points, the energy consumption of 30 points, the price and the cost of use are too high for Link to bear at present, and he doesn't even think about it.
Level 0 magic is also called apprentice magic. If you don’t use it well, it’s just a joke. If you use it well, it’s enough to kill people!
There is another consideration in his choice. The higher the magic level, the stronger the power, but the casting time has to be greatly extended.
For level 0 magic, Link can release one in 0.1 seconds, for level 1, at least 0.3 seconds, for level 2, at least 1 second, this time is too long, not suitable for fighting alone.
With a sound of 'swish', countless brilliant magic cards disappeared, leaving only dozens of dimly lit decks, of which the level numbers marked in the upper right corner were all 0.
Link looked at them one by one, and in the end, he temporarily chose 4 level 0 magics.
"Buy Fireball, Spike, Lesser Invisibility, Sleep."
Suddenly, the corresponding magic card in his mind began to brighten, and then disintegrated suddenly, turning into countless light spots and dissipating. Link felt his consciousness appear in a trance for a moment, and then regained consciousness.
Then, he found that he had become very familiar with these four 0-level magics, and he could release them at any time as long as he needed them.
'Is this the end of the study? The feeling of mastering magic is exactly the same as in the game. 'The familiar feeling made Link feel at ease.
After temporarily buying 4 spells, in order to be able to use them, Link added 2 free points to the upper limit of mana, so his upper limit of mana became 21 points, enough to use 10 level 0 magic.
After adding it, Link breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the magic energy in his body instantly become abundant.
The game system is pretty reliable. When the upper limit of mana is increased for the first time, the mana in the body is automatically filled. If it is empty, it needs to wait for time to recover. With Link's recovery rate of 0.2 mana per hour at this time , with and without the upper limit of mana.
Now, he has 14 free points left.
Link isn't going to use these free points right away, he doesn't know what accidents will happen when he escapes? Gotta act on camera.
Looking down at the pocket watch, the time has just passed 5 minutes, and it is now 9:40.
The assassination would not really start until an hour later. During this hour, it was safe inside the apprentice's apartment, but outside the apartment, the assassin must have been ready. At this time, it would be tantamount to suicide to get out of the apartment and escape.
In the previous game, if you want to escape from the academy, you have to wait for the assassination to start. At that time, the academy will become very chaotic, and only then will you have a chance to escape.
"There's still an hour, what should I do?" Link's mind was racing.
save people? Convincing the apprentices to escape with him
Doing this is purely to support yourself. Link is a marginal person in the Academy of Magic. Who would believe the words of a poor bastard who only mastered one trick? People just take him for a lunatic.
Go get some equipment and increase your strength as much as possible
Yes, this idea works!
