Ye Ci looked at the rabbi. Although this man was young on the outside, there was a kind of vicissitudes that could not be hidden in his body, in his eyes, and even in his breath. This kind of vicissitudes was weathered This kind of vicissitudes is formed by the accumulation of dust after thousands of years. Under such vicissitudes, Ye Ci felt that he was very immature and young.
This is probably the biggest difference between holographic games and keyboard games. In holographic games, each NPC has its own story. Although these stories are made in advance by the program, it does not prevent them from blooming and fruiting in the future life of this npc.
Especially for those NPCs with high levels and some IQs, the life trajectory or life journey given by the system program is only a rough range, and they can develop their own development within this range according to their own ideas. This is also the beginning of open tasks. prototype.
Rabbi is obviously such a high-IQ NPC, Ye Ci doesn't know what this NPC has experienced in the past years, but when facing this NPC, she will still be fascinated by the breath of this NPC. Infect. This is probably one of the places where fate does the best job. It allows players to integrate into the game life naturally and unnaturally, so as to forget that their identity is actually just a player, and let them also devote themselves to these events.
.
When the rabbi heard Ye Ci's answer, he just smiled slightly: "Yes."
His smile looks beautiful, but it makes people feel a kind of bitterness that cannot be understood.
"I wonder if Mr. Rabbi can tell me, how should I answer Mr. Moore's question?" Ye Ci waited for a while, but did not see that the rabbi meant to answer his own question. I had to take the liberty to ask the question I wanted to know the most.
Joke, of course, she came here with all the hardships to complete the task, as for other NPC gossip and other things are just incidental products, she doesn't want to delay too much on these things.
"If I knew, I'm dead, do I still need to stay here?" The rabbi glanced at Ye Ci and snorted. It seems that the rabbi's temper is not very good. Even after thousands of years of precipitation and tempering, his temper has not changed much, which is really depressing.
Several black lines appeared on Ye Ci's head. It turns out that this guy doesn't know either. Suddenly, she realized another thing, wait, what did he say
"If I knew. I'm dead, do I still need to stay here?" This was the answer the rabbi gave to Ye Ci just now, and in this short sentence, except for telling Ye Ci that he didn't know Ye Ci There is another very important question. Make leaf words impossible to ignore. That is, this rabbi once did the same thing as Moore, he exchanged with the dark world!
Ye Ci was slightly taken aback. She looked at the rabbi, who had been wearing a white robe. It was like the kind of robes worn by the priests in the temple, which almost made Ye Ci think. This guy is a sacrifice, but he didn't expect that he is also a magician
"You, are you also a magician?" Ye Ci looked at the rabbi calmly, and finally asked so cautiously.
"Magician?" Rabbi raised his brows slightly, and then laughed out loud: "So Moore told you that? Did you say that you are a magician?"
Ye Ci was slightly taken aback, isn't that so? But she wouldn't stupidly answer the rabbi's question directly, she just smiled stupidly and didn't speak. And the rabbi didn't seem to want to pay attention to Ye Ci's answer. He snorted softly: "It seems. He is still so timid that he has not dared to tell others what his true identity is until now."
Ye Ci's curiosity was aroused by the rabbi, although she did not ask questions
. However, her eager expression had betrayed the cry in her heart now. If it weren't for the fact that she was calm on the surface, anyone could see that her heart was constantly waving the flag and shouting - hurry up and say it. Come on, what is it? Is it necessary to be so mysterious
"Do you know Warlock?"
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. Who doesn't know the warlock? She nodded: "I know." But she also expressed her doubts. If Moore is a warlock, is it necessary to be so mysterious? There are even hundreds of thousands of warlocks on the Magar Continent, so what's so strange.
The rabbi seemed to see through Ye Ci's thoughts. He smiled lightly and sneered a little: "Do you think the warlock I'm talking about is the same as the half-assed people on the Maja continent now?"
Although Ye Ci didn't answer, he had already responded to the rabbi in his heart. Isn't it the same? In her opinion, warlocks are the same no matter how they are divided, raising little devils, releasing black arrows, and invincible control skills.
The rabbi continued: "Do you know who the first sorcerer was?"
Ye Ci shook her head, how could she know, this kind of thing is not recorded in the National Library, who knows how the game planners arranged it.
"The first sorcerer was a woman. We all called her Eliaran. Of course, that was the language of the dragon. In today's words, she was the 'pioneer'." The rabbi smiled slightly, seeing Ye Ci. Different places have been found.
"Dragon Language? Why is her name Dragon Language?" Ye Ci looked at the Rabbi strangely. Could it be that the first Warlock was not the Dragon Clan? A very terrifying picture immediately appeared in Ye Ci's mind. A fire-breathing dragon flapped its huge wings and fluttered in the air, and its front claws were holding a staff, and behind him there were many chattering and screaming goblins. What is all this mess
"That's because her father is the prince of the dragon clan." The rabbi's eyes looked into the distance, seeming to be caught in the deepest memories.
And Ye Ci almost spit out saliva, what? Elijahram's father was the prince of the dragon family, so what was his mother? Humanity? Elf? then what
"Her mother is a gentle human being, but compared to the powerful vitality of the dragon family, her mother is too weak." The rabbi seemed to have the ability to read minds, as long as Ye Ci was thinking about something. Immediately will be seen through by the rabbi
.
Ye Ci felt that she was not very pure. At this moment, she thought of a picture that was very inappropriate for children. And what makes her most curious is, under what size are dragons and humans interbreeding? Human body or dragon body? Humans give birth to dragon children, whether they give birth to fetuses or eggs...
Ah, of course, that's not the point of the question, the point of the question is that she really thinks crooked.
Even if the rabbi really has the ability to read minds, he is still guessing the player's mind within the scope of the task. Of course, he has no way to know the messy questions Ye Ci is thinking now. He saw Ye Ci with a thoughtful look on his face. It's just that she is listening to her story attentively, so she continues to talk about the following things.
"It stands to reason that human beings are the most humble race on the entire continent. Their strength is only due to their large numbers." The rabbi seemed a little contemptuous, and Ye Ci listened to his words. There were some sighs for no reason. It turns out that all the plans are so contemptuous of their own race, what's wrong with so many people? What a nice person. **Also said that people are more powerful, and the flames of people picking up materials are high. What's more, she didn't feel how noble and beautiful other races were.
"And the dragons are the creatures at the top of the race in the entire Marga continent. They are powerful, intelligent, with supreme ability and power, and they wander between the demons and the gods. They have a set of their own survival mode. Elijahran His father was the prince who was born when the entire dragon clan was at its peak. He was the most handsome and strong dragon in the dragon clan since ancient times. He was full of golden scales all over his body and had eyes like the blue sky. Considering the power over the entire dragon clan, it stands to reason that such a prince should marry a superior dragon clan woman, and then give birth to a more noble dragon clan. It's a pity that things are unpredictable. He was injured when he was out hunting. He was rescued by a human woman." The rabbi looked at Ye Ci with his gray eyes and said, "When you get here, you should know who that human woman is. Right."
Ye Zi nodded. Nonsense, of course she knows such a simple thing. Don't the general missions and/or stories follow this bloody route? It's like Chell is like that drow.
"He fell in love with this human woman. And despite the opposition of the people, he finally married this human, and then gave birth to the greatest shame the dragons have ever seen... It was a fetus." The rabbi sighed and could see him It hurts so much when I say that. "For the dragon family, the egg shell of the newly born dragon egg is the best supplement that can enhance the dragon's ability, but this fetus is born light and has nothing. She is a girl who looks like her father. Beautiful, but she has a human body. As I said earlier, humans are the most vulnerable species, even the woman died shortly after this baby was left. This girl was our first warlock, Elijahram. Of course, she was just a child at the time
. "
"Later, for the development of the entire dragon family, Elijah's father was not allowed to marry another dragon woman as his wife under the oppression of the clan, but unfortunately this dragon woman's temper was not very good. It's not very good. In addition to Elijah's poor health, if it wasn't for his father's constant protection of her, I'm afraid she would not have lived to adulthood. But, it's very strange that Elijah was The whole dragon family regarded her as a freak and a disgraceful half-breed, but after she was eight years old, she showed a great ability to control magic, which even surpassed that of any dragon family. Framed, designed everywhere, and finally made Eliaran have to leave the dragon family after the age of fifteen. Although Eliaran's father knew that all this was a trick of his wife, but he had no way to protect his daughter, only Can send her to the main city of mankind, to learn the control of magic from the greatest magician, Soro Babo."
Ye Ci quietly listened to the Rabbi's story. She has changed from a mocking attitude to a serious record mentality. She even turned on the task recording function to record all the stories that the Rabbi said. Because she vaguely felt that this story is definitely not as simple as a story, it must have some connection with the side quests of the whole game. These side quests have not been recorded in the National Library. It can be seen that the rulers at that time did not want these things to be known to the players, but these stories happened. It constitutes the other side of the huge task system of Destiny.
"Sorobabbo soon discovered the powerful power contained in Elijahran in the process of teaching Elijah's magic. This power does not belong to the dragon family, nor does it belong to human beings, but belongs to an unknown The cursed power of the dark world."
"The power of the curse?" Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. She remembered that the magician is best at a series of curses that lower the opponent's attributes. Does this curse have anything to do with the so-called power of the curse on Elijah
"Yes. Because, she is the child left by the union of the highest creature and the lowest creature, and at the moment of her birth, she was already cursed by the supreme god, and this curse will always follow She was born until she died. Elijahram's physical weakness was also closely related to this curse." The rabbi sighed: "Zolo Babo has great pity for Elijahran. So he tried to hide it. This secret, but what he didn't know was that Elijah had already known the secret. She is a half-blood, not only with the power of dragons, but also with the wisdom of human beings. She sees life and death very clearly, and there is nothing wrong with her. I don't mind. It's just that she really likes the control of powerful magic. Therefore, she has been supporting her weakening body with an extremely powerful mental force."
"Then how did she become a sorcerer?" Ye Ci couldn't help but feel anxious after hearing the rabbi talk for a long time without mentioning that Elijah became a sorcerer.
But the rabbi waved his hand gently, indicating that Ye Ci should be calm.
. Allow yourself to keep talking. "Do you remember Elijahran's stepmother? It was a noble blue dragon, though. Noble blood does not mean that her heart is also pure and beautiful. At least in some things, her actions completely obliterated the dragon family. She is bright and upright. Before Elijah's father met her mother, she was already the pre-determined candidate of the clan to marry the prince. Elijahram's father brought her mother back after hunting and married the maiden despite the opposition of the whole family. Jealousy is an indescribable poison, because of jealousy. This noble blue dragon makes poison The killing of Elijah's mother. Of course, this was well hidden, although she later married Elijah's father as she wished. However, she was jealous that Elijah had won all her husband's love. Exhausted all means to drive away Elijahran, it doesn't count, she wants Elijahran to disappear, disappear completely. It's a pity that Soro Babo is not so easy to deal with, which makes her delay There was no chance to start, she endured it, and waited until the opportunity came, and she finally killed Soro Babo!"
Ye Ci touched his chin, and suddenly felt that this kind of love is actually quite crazy. This blue dragon just said that he didn't want anyone to enter his husband's heart and wanted to monopolize his husband. In fact, there is nothing wrong, but this At the same time, it seems that it is full of sin. It can only be said that she understands her thoughts, but cannot agree with her actions.
"After killing Zoro Babo, she wanted to attack Eliaran, and until all Eliaran's spirit finally collapsed, the curse and darkness hidden in her heart broke out completely, becoming A huge black hole destroyed all of Elijah's goodness. There was only one word left in her heart - revenge! Where there is light, there is darkness, just as there are gods, there are demons. When Eli After Aram changed, all her power was swallowed up by the dark world, transforming all her abilities into a new power. And that cursed power finally became Eliaran's most powerful attack method, She became the first dark magician on the Maja continent. In fact, she was also a warlock." The rabbi shook his head, as if he was sighing about Eliaran's past, and was also melancholy about that part of the past that had long since disappeared. .
"What happened later?" Ye Ci was already attracted by the story.
"Later? She returned to the dragon clan, and the entire dragon clan was hit with an unprecedented fatal blow. No one could have imagined that such a powerful dragon clan would eventually perish in the hands of a small half-blood. Eliaran's father begged his daughter to His own race left a way to survive, but Elijah, who had completely lost his mind, even killed his own father in the end. She has completely become a killing machine in the world of darkness and the world of light."
"Ah? The dragon clan has perished?" Ye Ci was stunned for a moment, no, she saw a red dragon not long ago.
The rabbi shook his head: "No, but, it's almost like extinction, Eliaran just strangled all the adult dragons.
. But forget that there are many dragon eggs in the dragon tribe. These dragon eggs were lucky to escape her attack, but unfortunately, these dragon eggs were affected by Eliaran's powerful black aura, and finally turned into a kind of dark creatures. It's just that they have been struggling towards the light, but the effect is not very obvious. These dragon eggs have been cultivated by the dark breath, and although they were hatched, the reproductive capacity of the dragon family has declined significantly. Since then, the most powerful dragon clan finally withdrew from the stage of history. Submerged in the most secret corners of the Majia Continent, waiting for the opportunity for their heyday to come again. "
No wonder there are so few dragons, there is still such a story in it. Ye Ci raised her eyebrows, she remembered that in the last life, if she could find a dragon cave, it would make the whole continent go crazy. After all, dragons not only represent great power. And also represents the overlord.
"Then what about Elijah?" Ye Ci thought for a while, and the rabbi said such an irrelevant question for a long time. It was absolutely impossible to bring out a woman. Her existence must have a huge relationship with Moore.
"After destroying the dragon family. Eliaran became a powerful magician than Zoro Babo on the Maja continent. However, Eliaran did not recognize the name of the magician. She made her own. Call yourself For the warlock. Because, in her heart, she knows that she has completely lost the qualification to look up to the light as a magician. Since she dedicated everything to the dark world, she can only turn her back to the light, Facing the darkness all my life, there will be no peace again." The rabbi suddenly asked Ye Ci again when he said this: "Do you know what a warlock means?"
There is really no research on this leaf word. She has always thought that a warlock is a warlock, but it is just the name of a profession, but it seems that it is definitely not the same thing now. "Sorry, Mr. Rabbi. I'm just too young to know what a warlock means."
"Sorcerer is actually a word of the dark world, it means 'one who has been cursed all his life'. This is Elijahran's summary of his life, but the people on the continent of Maja are not familiar with the word of the dark world. They I just thought that a sorcerer was a profession as powerful as a magician, so people who were eager to gain power all found Eliaran who wanted to be her disciple and become a sorcerer." The rabbi turned his body and moved towards the indifferent. Walking to a prayer chair in the distance, his white robe was dragged in the ruins of the temple, looking very desolate.
"Eliaran didn't reject it. I still don't know why she didn't reject the idea of these people. Does she want to make these people who yearn for power become 'cursed for life'? Or just want to pass on her skills. Go on. In short, for a long time after that, warlocks rose to prosperity, and even became a powerful profession comparable to magicians. Although Elijahran's past is shameless, this world is, after all, a place for worshipping powerful the world of the masters, as Elijah has the ability to become an idol worshipped by all sorcerers
. Until one day, Elijah finally couldn't bear the suffering in the light world. She abandoned all her past and threw herself into the dark world that only belonged to her, and finally became the only master of the dark world, the queen of darkness. "
"Queen of Darkness!" Ye Ci finally exclaimed. This is a super boss stronger than Naga. Unlike Naga, who belongs to the Demon Race, she belongs to the pure dark world. There is even such a record in the National Library. When the Naga Demon King was young, he once prayed to the Queen of Darkness for the power of darkness, and got the answer of the Queen of Darkness, but paid a heavy price. As for what the price is, it is not so clearly written in the library.
"Yes, have you heard of it?" The rabbi was slightly surprised by Ye Ci's surprise. It seemed that the elf knew something.
"Yes, I once saw a record in the National Library, saying that the Demon King Naga had prayed to the Queen of Darkness for power when he was a teenager, and got an answer, but in the end, he paid a very heavy price, but that I don't know what the price is." Ye Ci told the rabbi what she knew without hesitation, and now she is convinced that this Elijah is definitely a super boss in the side quest, and whether it is the ultimate boss is not very clear. Well said.
The rabbi nodded to Ye Ci's explanation: "That's right, you're right. Naga did pay a heavy price, and the price he paid is actually very similar to ours."
"Never die?"
"No, it can never be resurrected." The rabbi smiled: "Naga dedicated his body to Eliaran, because his body was born with a very magical ability, which can infinitely gather the power of darkness . Eliaran used the Naga's body to make a piece of jewelry that added darkness to himself. Wearing it on his body means that the Naga's body will never belong to him in this life."
"So, the Naga who fought with all the heroes back then were actually just a ghost of nothingness?" Ye Ci was very surprised, because even her rebirth had never seen a Naga, so she didn't I don't know what the hell the naga looks like.
"It can be said that it is not the case." The rabbi shook his head: "Although Naga can't resurrect his body, he can create a lot of substitutes. Attaching his soul to these substitutes, back then, with various heroes It's these stand-ins that fight."
Ye Ci suddenly thought of a question: "Wait, wait, what do you mean, Moore actually sold his death to the dark queen Eliaran in exchange for a huge warlock ability. Then he defeated Naruto. Ka?"
"you can say it this way
. "
"So, Naga's power comes from the Dark Queen, and Moore's power also comes from the Dark Queen. Isn't this equal to the Dark Queen hitting herself?" Ye Ci just felt inexplicable: "Why did she do this?"
"Actually, I didn't understand this question at first, but later, after thousands of years of washing. I think I can understand Elijahran's thoughts."
"what?"
"When a person is too lonely. It is inevitable to find some fun to pass the time, right?" When the rabbi said this, there was a shallow smile on his face, but Ye Ci could see that his smile was like that Sad and helpless. Ye Ci suddenly had a little understanding of Elijahran's approach. When she was too lonely in the last life, she would also do some boring things, such as provoking a war between several guilds, and she benefited from her left-handed fisherman. Although, it's not as beautifully done as the Queen of Darkness, though. The nature of hate is actually the same.
From this point of view, Elijah was actually a very poor person.
After listening to such a story. Although Ye Ci didn't know where to start the secret mission about the Queen of Darkness, she at least had an intuitive understanding of the entire incident, which was indeed a good thing. She also didn't forget to ask the rabbi, "Isn't there a way for Mr. Moore to die?"
Rabbi shook his head: "Do you know who I am?"
"Mr. Moore's rabbi?"
"That's just the most inconspicuous one of my countless identities." The rabbi smiled slightly: "Actually, I was one of the first disciples to follow Eliaran, and there were eight people who became her disciples with me at that time. , we have all given our death powers to the dark world in exchange for more powerful abilities. So, until today, we are still alive, humble and pitiful. There is no way for us to die, a Moore, how is it possible Find a way to die?" The rabbi shook his head: "If there was a way, we would have died long ago, so why wait until you come here and tell you all this nonsense."
Ye Ci suddenly felt that the rabbi was actually very pitiful. She nodded, indicating that she understood the rabbi's meaning: "Okay, Mr. Rabbi, I will tell Mr. Moore everything I know."
"You can tell Moore that no one can escape the curse of the Dark Queen, no one, no matter what." The rabbi bent down and pulled out from the crack of the shattered temple at the foot of the prayer chair. A green grass emerged. He stared at the grass quietly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes. In such a ruin, such a cold, such a green color is really something people like very much.
. He turned his head and handed the grass in his hand to Ye Ci: "I want to thank you, in these countless lonely years, you are willing to listen to me talk about some past events, which makes me very happy, this grass will be given to you. you."
Although the grass looked very ordinary, Ye Ci took it over respectfully, looked at the attributes, and saw that it was written: Hope of the Temple, taking it, can randomly increase the character attributes. This is really good stuff! Ye Ci hurriedly looked around, hoping to find a few more. However, it seemed that he was disappointed. In this ruined temple, there seemed to be only this grass and nothing else.
"By the way, are you carrying something else on your body?" The rabbi said suddenly.
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again. She was too fascinated by the story. If it wasn't for the rabbi, she would have forgotten the most important thing. She quickly took out the arrow of holy light that was contaminated by Saga from the package, endured the pain in her palm, and handed it to the rabbi: "I came here for another purpose, which is to use the holy spring's arrow. The water washes away the filth belonging to Saga, I wonder if Mr. Rabbi can fulfill my little wish."
The rabbi took the arrow in Ye Ci's hand, looked left and right, and smiled: "It turned out to be Little Dole's arrow. I still think it's a big deal, go and wash it."
Little Dole... Ye Ci couldn't help but have countless black lines on his head when he heard this name. Did they make a mistake? They have to respectfully become the hero of the Elf King Dole. In the mouth of the old goblin, he has become a junior, a little Dole, so how many generations are he lower than this rabbi in terms of seniority
Although she was so sullen in her heart, Ye Ci didn't have the courage to complain to the rabbi. She endured the burning of the arrow of holy light on her fingers and palms, and respectfully took it from the rabbi's hand. He came over, and then immediately ran to the edge of the holy spring, threw the arrow of holy light into the spring water, and began to wash.
The arrow of holy light was like a red-hot iron. After being thrown into the holy spring, a white eye immediately appeared, and a crisp sound of "Zi" was heard, which made people tremble. Ye Ci took off her gloves and immersed her hands in the spring water. The cool spring water immediately surrounded her hands, allowing the parts that were burned by the Holy Light Arrow to recover quickly. Ye Ci grabbed the Arrow of Holy Light in the spring water and carefully cleaned it.
"The stains on the Arrow of Light have dissolved and need to be cleaned."
"The stains on the Arrow of Holy Light have dissolved again and need to be cleaned."
"It seems that the stains on the Arrow of Light have been washed away, you have to continue to work hard.
. "
…
Ye Ci kept washing the arrow of holy light, and the system consciousness kept ringing in her ears in annoyance, reminding Ye Ci that she was not diligent enough, and she had to continue to be diligent, otherwise there would be no trouble. .
Just bent over and washed in the pool for at least ten minutes, Ye Ci finally heard the system prompt and said lazily: "You have cleaned all the stains on the Arrow of Holy Light, hurry up and take it back to the related party. people to see."
Ye Ci then straightened up and raised his arms. He looked at the arrow of holy light in his hand. It was pure white, like it was made of silver. Seeing that it reads: "The arrow of holy light that has been washed." There are no other hints. It seems that if you want to know what functions or attributes this thing can do, you have to go back to Natasha.
This is the errand task.
Although the task is very difficult and the process is very difficult, it cannot be concealed that it is a relatively advanced errand task.
The so-called player is to be arranged by the NPC to run errands, there is no other way of saying it.
"Mr. Rabbi, thank you very much, I have cleaned the arrow of holy light, thank you for allowing me to use the holy spring." Ye Ci did not forget to thank the rabbi.
The rabbi took out a yellowed map from his sleeve: "I remembered, I have another piece about Little Dole here, maybe you will be very interested, why don't I give it to you."
Ye Ci looked at the yellowed map, and his mind immediately buzzed, no, no! Could this be the map fragment of the Elf King Dole in the last article! This is the way to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it without any effort. Ye Ci hurriedly stretched out his hand, took the map from the rabbi's hand, and thanked him sincerely.
"Let's get out of here, the sky seems to be bright, and there should be no nasty ghosts on the way back." The rabbi nodded at Ye Ci, then turned and walked towards the shadow of the temple, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ye Ci put the map fragments into the package and started walking towards the outside of the temple. It was already dawn outside. When the sun shines on the ground, all the ghosts disappear, just as silent as they came, and silent as they leave, they are really good comrades. (To be continued)
