"Master Traveler?"
Brando almost groaned, and he couldn't help touching his forehead, wondering if he was dreaming. The young man who claimed to be Tumen, the special space that introduced him, and the bizarre information in front of him all made his mind numb.
He had never heard of such a profession as the Journeyman in the "Amber Sword".
He first thought whether this was a profession he hadn't understood. After all, in a world where the setting was so large and complicated, and he was self-improving every day, he could not be omniscient and omnipotent. But then Brando felt a little awkward again, and instinctively told him that this conjecture was not true.
Brando was calm on the surface, but he kept thinking in his heart: What is going on? What is a traveler? Where is this again
Tumen put his hands in his sleeves, his whole person floating in the dark void, he saw Brando's doubts, smiled and replied: "It seems that you are still very confused. In fact, this is just a refraction magic, it makes me stay. The following information can be projected in your mind through this, so you don’t have to be nervous, this is just your own inner world, everything here is constructed according to your inner thoughts—"
Brando knew he meant to talk about the subconscious.
"You mean, this is a magical effect that affects the mind? But why doesn't my unyielding will respond?" He calmed down a bit, but immediately asked: "How should I leave here." Because he suddenly remembered I'm still in danger, so I can't waste time here.
"Why go in a hurry, because this is the world in your thoughts, everything that happens here is as fast as your thoughts-there is a proverb from the Barstows:'One can finish a long time in a short moment. Dreams’. Because people’s thoughts are as fast as lightning, you can give birth to many thoughts in an instant. Before these thoughts are over, a second has not passed."
Tumen smiled and said, "Even if you are going to die in the next second, you can live a quarter of an hour here."
Brando carefully chewed out the meaning of the elemental emperor's words. From a rational point of view, he was more willing to believe this explanation, but his instinct still couldn't help but consider the danger outside. He took a breath and asked: "I understand, but let's finish this message soon, Tumen the Great, what do you want to say to me? What is a traveler?"
Brando forced himself to calm down and began to figure out the meaning of this "dream". Since Tumen said that this is a projection of a piece of information, it means that he has something to keep for himself. What can I say? Brando doesn't think there is any connection between himself and the other party.
Brando himself is a pure-blooded southerner of Eruin. He has neither the Miner blood nor the Bastos. To speak of inheritance, Tumen would not just find him.
What's more, there must be some medium for storing spells, which means that this information was originally stored on something close to him through a triggered spell. Brando lowered his head and couldn't help but think about it carefully, trying to find out the suspicious points of those things on his body-the ordinary items to be eliminated first, his clothes and some small matches such as matches and fire sponges. object. Then exclude the items made by him and Tamar, such as the cursed crossbow, the statue of the saint (white deer) and the mana potion over there. Finally, there are naturally generated items, such as the fruit of the golden magic tree, and some magic materials.
Now that he could be called suspicious, only the trivial objects obtained from the battlefield and the ring after the wind were left on him.
But those trivial pseudo-magic items are not traceable at all. The Ring of the Wind has long been identified as a rotten thing in the game-it has a follow-up plot, Brando has already asked the cripple-that the loan shark is indeed Knowing the ring in the oil painting, according to what he said: the oil painting was given by a businessman to the knight that Brando's grandfather had served, and the knight then gave the oil painting to Brando's grandfather. Later that oil painting remained in Brando's old house.
As for the story before that, it's a long story. The cripple said that a total of thirteen imitation rings were made. Although they are not genuine, each one is invaluable hundreds of years later. Back then, the businessman wanted to please the local lord, but he couldn't tell what happened later.
Although Brando remained skeptical about what the cripple said, it at least shows that even if this thing has something to do with Saint Osor the Wind Sage, it has nothing to do with Tumen.
The next object of suspicion was the mysterious stone piece obtained from the corpse of Borg Nesson. Brando had always suspected that the background of this little nobleman was not that simple. As an aristocratic daughter, how could Antitina learn the design and production of magical devices so coincidentally, this is not an ordinary thing in Eruin.
And Brando believed that he could detect this, and other people could also, and that Viscount Tester must also understand this.
He has now begun to suspect that the Viscount Lord's motive is not pure.
And now it seems that it is this piece of stone that is most suspicious. But he immediately shook his head, and remembered another thing. Before entering this world, he also touched another thing of unknown origin—the scroll of elemental enlightenment. Brando recalled the situation at that time. He clearly remembered that the scroll of elemental enlightenment had the inkpad of the crystal forest and the unique number of the fairies.
In other words, there is no problem with the reel itself.
But he had come to his senses, and he finally realized what the opportunity for him to trigger this spell was: to open the element pool.
But what is the connection
He immediately thought of the destiny cards, yes, he had always treated these mysterious cards as skills rather than items, so he didn't think of them for a while. But looking back now, Brando found that these cards were really suspicious as he thought about it.
First of all, these cards have never appeared in the "Amber Sword".
Perhaps Brando has not heard of the single magic item in the game, which is not questionable. But if as a series of magic items have never appeared in the field of vision of a hardcore player, this will inevitably be suspicious. You can imagine: if a person has never heard of the name of a certain magician professional equipment in the game, if we assume that the world is huge-so it is not so incredible. But if he even hadn't heard of the huge concept of'Magician's professional equipment', it would seem a bit inexplicable.
Maybe you would say that he must be a newcomer.
But Brando is not a novice.
And these cards themselves are not dispensable, trivial tasteless items. The great freedom they contain allows even a warrior to freely manipulate magic. It can be said that they themselves constitute a complete professional system.
Brando could not have heard of such a set of magic items.
What's more, these things don't appear in a remote country. For example, "they" only appear in Brando's rival, Madara, so Brando may have fewer chances to understand. But on the contrary, the places where these cards appeared, at least now seem to be the most familiar area before Brando.
The Tomb of Girang, Golden Devil Tree Valley, Ridenburg, Braggs.
These areas are areas that Brando has explored countless times, and every corner and detail is well understood. Even Brando can clearly describe the rumors and behaviors of all the famous players in this area during the first three years of the game. He loves the world so much that he can empathize with Eruin.
But the problem now is that he has never heard of these cards, and he even doubts how he let go of these doubts so simply in the first place-of course, he didn't realize that when he saw these cards once, he was in a continuous connection. Under the conditions where there is no guarantee of survival, ordinary people will be happy if they get a little help in such an environment-instead of doubting. So this is actually human nature.
But once the reaction was over, this suspicion deepened.
He couldn't help touching his chest, subconsciously remembering the concept that flashed through his mind before,'they themselves constitute a complete professional system'; Brando was taken aback and raised his head subconsciously. Somewhat weirdly raised his head, he blurted out and asked: "You said the traveler is...?"
Tumen smiled: "You guessed it right, there is indeed an inseparable connection between the destiny card and the traveling mage."
Brando shut up immediately, because he knew that the young Tumen in front of him would tell him everything.
"First of all, I want to clarify a misunderstanding. In fact, these destiny cards were not created by me. You can also see that they are far older than the history we know." Tumen opened his hand, holding a hand in his palm. A destiny card—it’s just the back, with the complicated holy pattern drawn on it: "You see this mark, it is the original sample of the holy pattern. I simplified them based on some fur knowledge I knew, and combined this knowledge. Codified and taught to humans, elves, and Miners."
"Wait—" Tumen raised his hand and prevented Brando from asking: "I know what you want to ask. Obviously, as the descendants of the Bastos and Miners, the enemies of all creatures who yearn for light, why do I Want to help humans and elves?"
He smiled: "It's actually very simple. As a traveling mage, I look at the problem a little bit differently from ordinary people. Of course, this is just my own point of view, but it has something to do with my own deck-I was too young at the time. , I want to blindly pursue the laws and principles of this world, so my deck is called "All Things Are One". Adhering to this card meaning, except for the most essential everything in the world, there is not much difference in my eyes. ."
Brando sat back after hearing these few words. He thought for a moment and asked the doubts in his mind: "To be honest," he asked, "I don't quite understand what you mean, can I speak a little more plainly? ."
He has no thought of going back at all at this time, but vaguely feels that this profession in the door of Tumen may bring huge changes to his future path. He didn't know why he had this idea, maybe it was an illusion, or it could be that an unusual breath has been smelled out of intuition and instinct.
Tumen nodded: "Of course, I will tell you in detail."
He also said: "When you talk about the journeyman, you have to start with the destiny card. The journeyman is the only group in this world who can touch the true meaning of the destiny card—this truth is the power of the world. Every destiny Cards are the display of a world from a certain angle. It is neither a simple projection of rules nor a superficial copy of reality-many of these cards form a small world."
"It's like my deck,'All Things Are One.' This deck describes the nature of the world through the harmony of six elements, so it is also my card meaning: the power of rules."
"And another Journeyman I know, I know that his deck is called'Infinite Power', which is a deck consisting of a large number of red and black destiny cards. His card is for the pursuit of supreme power. The red deck can be seen as fire or power. The black deck can be seen as dark, but it can also represent death and destruction."
"Of course, we all failed."
Tumen smiled: "So the meaning of the card is actually given by the deck. The wonderful thing about the destiny card is that it can explain the ideas between you and the world from multiple angles. Even your deck represents Another self in your heart."
"As for why there are these cards and where they came from, in fact, we don't know. The earliest Journeyman should be born in the dark age and spread among the Matanians. I even doubt the profession itself. It was born out of this society."
"It is rumored that the Matatanias are a traveling people. Their tribes always migrate from one place to another. Their understanding of the world is somewhat different from ours. We believe that the world is a vast and infinite, including the infinite. The concept of things and knowledge, but in the world view of the Matanyas, the world is a very small and very narrow concept. They have a larger concept similar to our'world', called'Uhs', this word It is the origin of the word infinity in Elvish and Cruz. In the worldview of the Matanians, Uhs contains countless small worlds, and they always shuttle in one world."
"I suspect that they have misunderstood the relationship between the guardian land and the entire world to form this concept. Of course, humans in the past have limited knowledge of this world." Tumen suddenly smiled and said: "I just said it accidentally. With so many unimportant things, it seems that it is really difficult for me to get rid of this old problem."
Brando thought for a while and asked, "I have also heard of the Matanians, and maybe now I know that they are the first batch of traveling mages, but what does this have to do with me?"
Tumen shook his head: "You continue listening. The Matanians divide the day into six stages, and the day of the Journeyman is also strictly divided into six stages."
The young man with black hair and drooping shoulders glanced at Brando and continued: "The first stage is from the dawn to the morning. That is, from six to ten o'clock, the Matanians will call this time of day every day. This is: the sun grows, and the journeyman calls it the'growth stage'. At this stage, the journeyman can tap their land cards and gain the mana necessary for the day—"
"Wait!" Brando exclaimed, "Tap the land card?"
"It is, tapping the land card. This is the most basic ability of every traveling wizard. It is also the source of their strength."
"Wait, can you elaborate."
"It's very simple, as long as you have the basic land cards, as well as your own element pool and mana pool. You can exhaust them during this time of the day, and the land cards will combine the power of their'territory' with yours. The element pools are connected, and the power of the elements generated in the'territory' is injected into it."
"Wait, isn't it clearly stated on the land card that a little element will be generated a week?" Brando couldn't help but blurt out.
"That little element is outside of the element and mana pool. Its function is to'lend' cards to new people who are able to lead the journey of the wizard to understand and contact the power of this world. When you become official You won’t need it anymore," Tumen replied.
Brando thought for a while before nodding: "I understand, you can go on."
"During the growth stage, the Journeyman can also get the benefits of the ability to'pay' on other cards. I remember that you have a gray land/water card called Highland Retainer. It says that when the Highland Retainer exists On the field, the lord can gain a little reputation every day. And this little reputation is paid during the growth phase."
"At the same time, the traveling mage can use everything that involves green (life, nature), white (light, shelter, nurturing) and red (fire, vitality, vitality), blue (water, moisture, irrigation) and existence in the growth stage. A mixed card of the above types of elements."
Brando frowned, he had never noticed this problem before. But Shire actually talked to him about similar problems. He mentioned the special case, that is, the white spell card with no demand.
"Then entered the second phase of the day: from after morning to the moment of the scorching sun, from ten o'clock to two o'clock in the afternoon. Not only did the Matanians call this period of each day: all things flourish. The wizards and witches also described the four hours of the day, called'ebb tide'—because this moment is the moment when the power of the sun is the most powerful and the power of the moon is the weakest, that is, the period of the weakening of the magic. The magic and the elements disappear. He is long, so this stage is the most active and offensive stage of the elements, so the brigade mage called this stage the'heyday'."
"At this stage, it is the only stage in which the Journeyman can use any card without restrictions. At the same time, he will be able to draw three cards from the library and enter his hand."
"Wait," Brando was taken aback: "What does this mean?"
"This is the rule of the traveling mage. At the beginning of each day, a traveling mage always has only a fixed number of cards in his hand. He may be able to draw more than this limit on this day, but every day's In the reset phase', he must discard these excess cards. And we call this fixed number of destiny cards the hand."
"On the other hand, the stronger the power of the Journeyman himself, the more cards he can master. And like you, as a new-born Journeyman, you can only master five hands."
"Is the hand assigned by me?" Brando asked.
"No, the hand will be drawn by you in the designated sub-group. Like me, my card means the unity of the power of the six elements, so the rules divide my card group into six equal parts, so I There are six sub-groups." Tumen replied.
Brando frowned: "But in this way, the uncertainty has increased a lot. Then I only have a few powerful cards, and if I lose those useless cards, wouldn't I be able to keep myself free? Maintain the card strength at one level?"
"Theoretically, this is true, but this is not the ultimate goal pursued by the Master Traveler." Tumen shook his head.
"final goal?"
"You know that after the three-level power system, some people can civilize the elements, so that they can become extremely powerful. But you may not know that after the civilized elements, the next stage of power is the perfect body, from black iron to gold , The final step is to pursue the power of existence that only exists in the legend."
"You know, fire is an element, and its highest level is the element of fire, because the element of fire is the origin of all flames in this world. But in fact, there has always been such a rumor that above the element of fire, there still exists. There is a higher-level element, which we call "substance"."
"Elements such as'material','time','space' and even'logic' and'power' themselves represent the most basic meaning of the profound world. We all call them the power of existence."
Brando stared at Tumen, unable to speak for a while. Of course he knows the perfect body, because he has gone through this stage in the past games-one hundred and thirty, silver body. He has also heard about the power of existence, but it is rumored that after the average player has reached the level 160 golden body, his experience will no longer be advanced. No one knows that he should break through the final checkpoint and reach the one that is almost one step away-existence The power of sex.
But none of them thought that there was such a way.
"You mean," he couldn't help asking in a dazed voice: "Can the Travelling Mage finally lead to the power of existence?"
Tumen nodded and pointed to the card path: "When you perfect your'world' and when this'rule' is self-consistent, the door to the power of existence opens. Of course, before that, you still It’s a long way to go," Tumen seemed to find Brando’s heartbeat, and continued: "Start with building your most basic deck."
"What should I do?" Brando asked subconsciously.
"Actually, you have already revealed your own destiny deck since you came into contact with the first destiny card. However, I’m a little surprised that your deck is different from any one I’ve seen. It seems It’s to express a huge professional system through the deck. I don’t understand why you are interested in the professional system. There is also the idea of “full professional dominance”-what does this mean?” Tumen thought for a while, somewhat puzzled. Asked.
Brando couldn't help sweating when he heard it. He was the soul of Sophie when he first came into contact with the destiny card. As a professional player, he instinctively wanted to find a strong career at the time, but as an ordinary player, who doesn’t have a YY dream of having a full career, he didn’t expect It was captured delicately by the destiny card.
He is only realizing now, what does the opening of the road of knights mean...
I go! Brando shouted in his heart, if the card is a manifestation of the worldview, is it really going to be an all-professional dominance this time
