What kind of person is the vice president of the Magic Association
After all, he must be quite capable, but he was assassinated just like that? Is it a plot mission pushed by the game, or is it the natural evolution process of this world
The forum is a place for players to communicate. After two years of game exploration and communication, players have understood that there are two major categories of tasks. One is the main plot tasks pushed by the game system.
One feature of this kind of plot mission is that it activates a special space barrier to temporarily transfer players to the mirror mission location without affecting every blade of grass in the game.
Another type of task is a task issued by the NPC in the game world. This kind of task will be recognized by the game system. Any actions and behaviors in the task will have a large or small impact on the game world.
This kind of task is called a sandbox task, and some people call it a butterfly task.
Because we simply don’t know what the consequences of such a task will be.
Nowadays, many players have been "hacked" by NPC. The NPC issued a mission saying that so-and-so did all kinds of evil and stole his woman. As a result, the player went to kill the target person of the mission, only to find that he had been fooled.
The NPC who issues the quest is the evil one.
The experience of completing the mission can definitely be obtained, but what follows is a significant drop in the reputation of the region, which is usually accompanied by wanted orders, revenge of the relatives of the murdered, and other consequences.
In most cases, things can barely get over after a sincere apology, a large amount of compensation, and revenge for the victim's relatives.
But there are also some serious NPCs who will sacrifice their lives for players who have done something wrong.
In this case, most players will commit suicide and then delete their accounts and practice again.
A small number of players will hand over all their wealth to NPCs, then run away, burdened with guilt, and go to distant places to develop again.
When these things appear more often on the forum, other players will become very careful when accepting sandbox tasks.
During the task process, always keep an eye out.
Roland takes time every day to obtain game exploration content posted by other players on the forum, and he knows this very well. Moreover, when he first entered the game, he encountered a similar thing in Red Earth Town. Although he completed the task, it caused his reputation in Red Earth Town to decrease.
Roland looked around and found that there were other black-robed soldiers knocking on other people's rooms and saying similar words, and he knew that this gathering was not aimed at him alone.
Then he subconsciously opened the mission system interface and glanced at it. There was no mission prompt.
Although I was a little disappointed, it was a pity that such a big thing as the vice president's assassination did not trigger any tasks. But it's normal to think about it. It's been more than two years since he entered the game, and he hasn't triggered many missions. He's not the lucky boy from Beta.
Return your attention to the black-robed soldier in front of you.
"Okay, we will gather in the square in a moment. Can you please make some preparations?"
"It should."
The black-robed soldier gave a slight salute and then knocked on the door of the next room. Those who can live here are either magic elites or high-ranking officials. He, a little soldier, cannot afford to offend.
Roland returned to the room and said to Andonara, "Let's go to the square first."
Andonara was also a legendary level expert. Although she was in the room, she clearly heard the black-robed soldier's words.
He looked at the freshly prepared dishes on the table with some regret: "It's a pity that you can't eat them while they're hot."
Roland walked over, put all these dishes in the system backpack, and then said: "Let's go, go to the square and come back to eat. Put them in my space backpack, they will always be hot."
"Okay, okay." Andonara happily came over and took Roland's arm.
When the two of them walked out of the room, they saw groups of people walking towards the square. They followed them and arrived at the square not long after.
The square where the flying boat docked was very large. Even if more than 10,000 people poured in, it still seemed empty.
However, there were many black-robed guards in the square maintaining order and at the same time limiting the area where people could gather to prevent people from wandering too widely and causing inconvenience.
Roland and Andonara found a place to stand at random, their expressions calm and composed.
It is in sharp contrast to other worried magicians, even dignitaries.
More and more people came out of the Magic Association's building, and after about half an hour, fewer and fewer people came out.
The last four legendary level mages flew into the air, one of them waved his hand, and a large purple barrier enveloped everyone.
Among these four people, two are mentors of the Red Magic Tower, and Roland has never seen the other two.
Andonara leaned against Roland and whispered: "Give me the sword, just in case."
Andonara is that kind of woman who is particularly insecure. As long as she stays by Roland's side, she will feel happy.
But equally, she didn't allow anyone to hurt Roland.
The four legendary mages made her feel a certain amount of pressure.
Without a sword in her hand, she always felt like she couldn't protect her man.
Roland took out the epic sword that he had made and enchanted with his own hands and handed it to Andonara. At the same time, he whispered: "If anything happens later, you should protect yourself first."
"No, I want to protect you."
"Don't forget, I am the son of gold." Roland said forcefully: "At this time, you have to listen to me, do you understand?"
"But..." Andonara was confused.
On the one hand, she listened to Roland's words, but when she thought that Roland might be hurt, she felt very uncomfortable and wanted to refuse Roland's command.
The two thoughts of listening and not listening conflicted in her mind, which made her very unhappy.
In fact, almost all Vine-type women have this problem.
When encountering something related to your man and your own ideas conflict with the man, you will often hesitate.
Who doesn't have some shortcomings in this world? While Andonara is gentle and virtuous, she is a little undecided, but it's not a big problem.
Besides, she has many advantages.
"Listen to me." Roland held her hand and continued to say forcefully: "Whatever happens, you have to give your first priority to protecting yourself. Do you understand?"
Andonara hesitated for a while, then nodded.
When the barrier in the air was completely closed, one of the legendary magicians whom Roland didn't know used a loudspeaker to shout: "Friends gathered here, please allow me to say sorry first. You should also know the general details, The vice-president of our Magic Association has been assassinated, and the murderer is hidden among you. Now, I need to conduct a polygraph test on you. I know this is a very rude act, but the situation is very serious now. , I hope all friends can understand us and provide sufficient cooperation."
As the legendary mage said, lie detection, like alignment detection, is a very criticized magic.
It's just as offensive as taking off your clothes in public and testing whether you are a boy or a girl.
Self-esteem can also be greatly affected.
But the legendary mage said so, and now a big figure like the vice-president of the Magic Association has been assassinated, and the murderer is hiding among them. If the murderer can kill the vice-president of the Magic Association, he can kill them and find the murderer. Help them eliminate danger in disguised form.
So there was no objection.
The legendary mage chanted a spell, and a green halo enveloped him.
Many people also had a faint green light on their bodies.
But there are also many people who experience no reaction at all.
For example, Roland, Andonara, and most magicians.
Their 'resistance to magic' is relatively high, making them immune to large-scale group lie detection spells.
Any spell has a 'strength'. As long as your 'resistance to magic' is higher than this strength, magic will not work on you.
The legendary mage had anticipated this, and asked condescendingly: "Are you the murderer?"
Those with green light all answered 'no'.
No one's light changed color.
If the person with the green light on his body tells a lie, the light will turn blood red.
The legendary mage made a gesture, and the black-robed guards surrounding the square opened their mouths.
The legendary mage said: "Friends with green light on their bodies can leave."
These people accounted for approximately one-third of the total number of people in the square.
After these people left, the legendary mage flew lower, with a cold smile on his old face: "Please gather the remaining friends and stand closer."
After the crowd gathered, another green halo came down.
The range of the green halo this time was much smaller, but the light was much brighter.
For the same amount of 'energy', the smaller the range of influence, the greater the intensity.
This time another third of the people had light coming out of them.
The legendary mage asked the same question again before letting these people go.
Then he gathered the remaining people together and cast a lie detector with a smaller range.
Ask the same questions and then make people leave.
After doing the same steps three times, there were only about twenty people left in the square.
Roland and Andonara were among them.
The legendary mage flew lower, and on the light gray magic robe, there were faint white magic lines that gradually became brighter and darker.
"The murderer should come forward and stop wasting each other's time."
The legendary mage's eyes swept over twenty people, and finally landed on Andonara for three seconds.
The remaining people, except for Andonara, who carries a sword, are all magicians.
So Andonara, at least on the surface, seems to be the most suspicious.
But the legendary mage quickly looked away. He knew very well that until there was no complete evidence, everyone would be suspected.
If the murderer dares to assassinate, he must be prepared to avoid suspicion as much as possible. Sometimes those who seem highly suspicious are actually good people.
The legendary mage fell to the ground and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that you won't give up until the end."
He waved his hand, and the dazzling light appeared from under the hood again. This time, almost everyone began to glow green, except for Roland and Andonara.
The legendary mage looked at Roland with some surprise, and then at Andonara.
After hesitating for a while, he asked the person next to him: "Which of you is the murderer?"
"no."
"I'm not."
After the more than twenty people answered, still no one had a green light on their body.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Roland and Andonara.
Three legendary mages were still floating in the air and slowly landed, surrounding Roland and Andonara from the front and back.
Two of them were mentors of the Red Magic Tower. They recognized Roland and Andonara, and their eyes became more suspicious.
Because they felt that it was impossible for Roland to do such a thing.
After all, they were the ones who brought Roland.
The legendary mage who used lie detection slowly walked up to Roland and Andonara.
His expression was a little dark and his tone was solemn: "You two, why don't you introduce yourselves?"
"Red Magic Tower student, Roland."
"Roland's woman, Andonara."
The legendary mage nodded in disbelief, and then he opened his mental power. Half a second later, he retracted his mental power, and his expression looked a little painful.
Because he suffered a little loss from Andonara.
Andonara has now awakened the blood of the brave, and has her own 'mental countermeasures' expertise. Most negative mental powers and mental magic cannot affect her.
The mage's spiritual tentacles are essentially a special application of spiritual magic, and it is normal for them to be countered.
However, even after being countered, the legendary mage still figured out the strength of the two men. He put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "It's really interesting that a legendary level warrior is actually willing to be a warrior who has not yet reached the level. The master's, the magician's woman? Are you insulting my IQ, or your own?"
Generally speaking, as long as you reach the legendary level, you are the guest of all forces.
A superpower as powerful as the Franz Empire would not reject anyone from the legendary powerhouse. As long as you come, you will be provided with good wine and meat.
Moreover, this legendary warrior is so beautiful that he has no problem marrying the king. How can he fall in love with a magic student who is not even a master
There must be something fishy about this.
Roland said calmly: "I can only say, Your Excellency, you think too much. Things are as simple as you see. She is my woman."
Just when the legendary mage sneered and was about to speak, a tutor from the Red Magic Tower stood up and said: "Teldo, he is indeed a student of our Red Magic Tower, and this Ms. Andonara, She is indeed his woman. We specially brought him here from the Red Magic Tower to see the world, and the assassins cannot be the two of them."
The legendary mage named Teldo turned his head: "Wait, Roland of the Red Magic Tower? I remember this name, oil-making technique, water-making technique?"
The instructor nodded.
The legendary mage said oh, then waved his hand and said: "Then it shouldn't be him. The assassin seems to have left the Magic Association. I will notify the city guards to seal the city."
After he finished speaking, he removed the purple barrier and flew into the sky.
Andonara breathed a sigh of relief and retracted her half-unsheathed sword.
She wasn't afraid to deal with two legendary mages, but with four... it would be a bit difficult.
Roland nodded and thanked the mentor who came to the rescue, and then his expression changed slightly.
Open the system interface and find the task prompt.
Receive the mission: The Hibernator in the Dark (1). Look for clues about the assassin. His life is up to you. (epic)
Epic quest? Is there a number
Continuous tasks
Roland subconsciously accepted this task.
It doesn't matter if you can't settle it alone. Anyway, there is Shuke, the local snake here, so there will definitely be no problem in dragging him along.
