Ash sat in Shilling's seat, looking at the words floating in the air and lost in thought.
After losing the chip, he naturally could not call out the light curtain. However, the game "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual" was not bound to the light curtain, but to Ash.
He can still call up the wizard manual interface, but the resolution is reduced from 4K ultra-clear to 360P. Except that the sword girl's portrait has changed from pure and sexy to a bit cartoony, there is basically no impact.
Although Ash felt that Shilling's ritual miracle had no effect on him, when he opened his operator file and looked at it for a while, he discovered a change - his occupation changed from "Cult Leader/Ancient History Scholar" to "Social Idle Person"!
However, the game did not pop up any prompts, and Ash did not pay attention to his status information. After all, the sword princess's portrait has become so cartoony that he has been too lazy to open the game interface these days, let alone open his own operator file.
Ash couldn't be sure whether his career change was the result of Shilling's miracle or his jailbreak - after all, after his jailbreak, he did go from being a staff member of a state-owned unit with free food, lodging and entertainment to an idle person in society, which was reasonable.
After thinking for a moment, Ash decided to give up thinking about this kind of question.
However, compared to the useless Luck Check +10 and Ancient Artifact Identification Ability +5 of "Cult Leader/Ancient History Scholar", the new professional characteristics are obviously much more practical - the cost of feeding the magic spirit is halved!
It seemed as if all the magic spirits knew that Ash had lost his iron rice bowl, so they all welcomed the salary reduction - "I eat very little and am well fed."
After closing the game panel, Ash looked at his resume file.
This is the "Resume of Arthur Heath" compiled by Schilling. It includes the awards Heath won in the orphanage, middle school, and college, what part-time jobs he did, his friends' evaluation of Heath, photos of Heath at different ages, and even Heath's browsing history. It can be said that every detail is included.
The file was well organized and reading it was not boring at all. Soon, Ash outlined Heath's life trajectory in his mind: his qualifications were judged to be "elite level" at birth, and he was sent to a city-level model orphanage; he was admitted to middle school with the 36th place in the secondary school entrance examination, and was admitted to the History Department of the Time Department of Kaimen Comprehensive University with a medium score in the entrance examination; he started his own business after graduation and began missionary activities based on the MLM model.
I don't eat sweets, I don't gamble, I don't go to tea cafes, and I've never worked part-time at a mud cafe. My voting record in the Blood Moon Trial is 0.
Apart from the apartment and school, Heath's favorite place to go is the convenience store downstairs; apart from daily necessities, the items Heath has purchased the most are various books. Ash saw several familiar book titles in them, such as "The Crowd", "How to Trigger a Virtual Storm with Bare Hands", and "Criminal Law"; many friends who know Heath have the impression that he is "low-key (inconspicuous)", "respectful and polite (boring to talk)", and "strong personal ability (unsociable)".
That would be fine, but there was one thing about Heath that frightened Ash - Heath's browsing history on the veil was full of information on politics, history, military, magicians, religion, and race, and there was not even a single browsing record of pornographic videos, pictures, or novels!
Let alone human women, even if an orc man fought an ogre man, Ash couldn't accept it but it was understandable. However, there is no record of this type at all!
The only thing that could be slightly related to the romance was the rumored female orc army "The Queen of Flowers". It was said that they would reproduce and hunt during the estrus period, chopping off the limbs of the captured male orcs and using them as gas stations. They were extremely powerful and terrifying and brutal.
But the female orc... There's no way Heath also has a large truck driver's license!
All in all, a 25-year-old good-looking guy who doesn't engage in pornography and has never made any effort to satisfy his sexual desires is enough to prove that he is definitely not a normal person.
But this file also shows that Heath did not have any unusual adventures, as if he suddenly became enlightened and started a business. It does not mention how Heath got the information about the Four Pillars. Ash used to think that the mastermind was Professor Schilling, who gave the information about the Four Pillars to Heath, but Schilling only had a blood moon in his mind, so it was obviously not the elves who were causing trouble.
"Um?"
Yaxiu found a record that Schilling had marked in red in the file. It was Heath's leave record. Eight years ago, when Heath was still in middle school, he took a half-month self-study leave, and there was no witness record during that time.
Eight years... eight years ago
Igula once said that Shilling participated in the archaeological excavation of the ruins eight years ago and unearthed some ritual books of the Four Pillars Religion, but in the same year, the ruins encountered a virtual storm, resulting in the loss of most of the results.
But Heath was only 17 years old eight years ago...
Ash thought he could successfully take revenge this time and solve the mystery of Heath at the same time. However, he didn't expect that Heath was like a nesting doll, with one layer after another appearing after another.
And Ash also had to consider a possibility: Shilling was telling the truth, but it was all lies to deal with the Crime Hunting Office.
After all, there is such a thing as "memory modification" in this world. Knowing that Heath might betray him at any time, Shilling modified his own memory, put all the blame on Heath, and described himself as a devout believer who was devoted to his country. This kind of operation also exists and is very likely.
Although it is still a mystery, Ash decided to give up on investigating Heath's background for now. As Heath's number one hater and number one illegitimate fan, the information collected by Schilling should be the most complete and detailed at present. This is all about Heath in "reality".
If Heath really had some unknown adventure, it was either in his dreams or in... the virtual world.
To be honest, Ash is about to leave the Blood Moon Kingdom. No matter how complicated Heath's life experience is, it is just someone else's story to him.
But Ash had a strong feeling that even if he left Blood Moon, Heath's past would still haunt him. It was like seeing the author mention a gun in a mystery story, and that gun would definitely go off in the story - Heath had spent so much effort, it was impossible that he just wanted to send Ash to live in Broken Lake Prison, right
Four Pillars, Hiss, touch, ritual... Ash wrote down this information in a small notebook. It would be fine if he didn't meet the relevant people, but if he met them in the virtual world, don't blame him for being cruel and letting Sword Princess go.
Next it was time to collect the spoils. Ash rummaged through the boxes and found a total of 4 gold coins, 5 silver coins, a bunch of luxury goods that seemed to be exchangeable for money, and 5 magic cocoons.
This shows the destruction of the credit currency system on the "robbery" of offline traditional industries. Although physical currency is still in normal circulation, most people are accustomed to using chips to pay and only carry a small amount of emergency cash in their daily lives.
Xilin's total assets would probably be calculated in tens of thousands of gold coins, but he usually only needs to carry a few gold and silver coins to feed his magic spirits, so he can't keep that much money at home. Compared to these gold and silver coins, the luminous watch that Xilin wears is probably more valuable.
There were 3 two-winged spirits, 1 one-winged spirit, and 1 three-winged spirit among the 5 spirit cocoons! This was a great harvest, but Ash was not happy.
Because these magic cocoons have chastity locks.
Due to various trade needs, sorcerers have invented many ways to seal up sorcerers' spirits. The most common technique is to put a sorcerer's spirit into a fluorescent ball, which will cause it to fall asleep and reduce the feeding frequency by 70%. When a sorcerer has extra sorcerers but cannot use them for the time being, sealing them in a fluorescent ball to reduce feeding costs is a good choice.
The disadvantage of the fluorescent ball is also very serious - there is no defense. Once the fluorescent ball is damaged, the magic spirit will escape, and others can directly control the ownerless magic spirit by getting the fluorescent ball. The magic spirit in the fluorescent ball is like money taken out of the bank, and there is a possibility of being stolen and destroyed.
The magic spirit cocoon in front of Ash is a more advanced sealing method. The magic spirit sealed in the cocoon stops moving directly and does not need to be fed. More importantly, there are three roller combination locks on it. Only when the password is correct and the magic power is input, can the elf cocoon be dissolved.
Once the password is wrong, the Soul Cocoon will automatically lock, and can only be unlocked by a magician. It is said that this is a miracle equivalent to the sanctuary level, so it is almost impossible for a two-winged magician to crack it by brute force. Even if it can be cracked by brute force, the Soul Cocoon will most likely destroy itself with the Soul.
Some people may wonder, is it necessary to use the miracle of the Three-Winged Sanctuary to seal the magic spirit? But in a stable civilized society, the magic spirit not only has use value, it also has the potential to become a luxury.
The only one-winged spirit in the spirit cocoon is a so-called luxury item. It looks like a cicada, with a green exterior and golden light inside. This is the "Niyue" spirit.
Reverse Moon is a consumable magic spirit that will disappear after use. The effect is very simple - it will make the real state of the designated object return to one month ago.
If used on an old magician, the old magician's physical state will return to a month ago, but the magic power, memory, and magic spirit contained in the soul will not change. In other words, it can give the target an extra month of life to a certain extent.
Except for the 'Sun-Reverse' spirit which is used as an emergency treatment spirit, the 'Month-Reverse' and 'Year-Reverse' spirits are considered life-extending spirits without side effects. They are in great demand in the market and are sold at very high prices. Ash also heard Sword Lady say this during a casual chat. In her words, "picking up trash in the Time Continent can really make you rich."
This 'Reverse Moon' spirit was obviously stored as a gift, and the other spirits should be similarly positioned, and there was even a very rare two-winged sword spirit. But after a brief thought, Ash made a decision that went against the sword princess's ancestor.
"Recharge successful! You received 8 points."
"Recharge successful! You received 20 points." ×3
"Recharge successful! You received 40 points."
The magic spirit cocoon cannot be taken away. It is too big to fit into a pocket. Even if it can be taken away, Ash has no means to dissolve the magic spirit cocoon. Therefore, feeding all the magic spirits inside to the system, this greedy little bitch, is naturally the best option.
But a three-winged magic spirit with only 40 points is too bad...
After another round of searching, without finding any new valuables, Ash began to search for the information that Schilling had left here. In order to hunt down 'Ash Heath', Schilling must have racked his brains to guess Heath's escape route and tried to plug all the loopholes that Heath could exploit, so -
Xilin may have helped him plan an escape route with the highest success rate!
Ash quickly found what he wanted.
"Report on Observation Point No. 49 Virtual Realm Channel (Top Secret)"
"At 13:11 on April 21, 1668, water surge was observed. There was an underground river on the other side of the passage, so we gave up."
"Report on Observation Point No. 53 of Virtual Realm Channel (Top Secret)"
"On April 30, 1668 at 17:36, the 'rabbit' returned. The other side of the passage is an uninhabited wilderness. It is safe and can be used for hunting festivals."
PS: Buqi Shixian, Du Tingbei and the book-eating monster, the combined strength of three people - miracle, pull the crappy!
Actually, my family was admitted to the hospital in the past few days. I had to deal with the ambulance, NICU, CT scan, and transfer to the general ward to accompany them. So I had less time to write. In addition, it was really hard to focus on writing. I asked for a short leave. I only updated once today. I asked for leave when Hinata asked for leave. I asked for leave to read novels all night, to read comics all night, to play P4G all night, and I didn't make any excuses.
(??`ω′?)So this time the situation was really bad because of the combined strength of three people.
Use an Easter egg as an apology.
