The rest of the day was uneventful.
At night, Zhao Xu and his group first made a small tent on the spot, and then the core group of people entered it and untied the "lead box".
Just like that, the entire "notebook" was slowly spread out under the eyes of the top leaders of the "Watchmen" union.
Compared with the first two notebooks, which more or less recorded the mysterious tomb experience, this third notebook is the notebook handed down from the Errol family.
There is no record of the past tomb exploration experience, not even the mysterious symbols. It is obvious that the records of the other party's ancestors have been deliberately erased by the owner of the mage tower and hidden elsewhere.
All the records in the notebook are about the details of the mage tower.
The only thing is that this notebook is divided into two parts. The first half describes the hiding place of the mage tower and how to enter it.
But in the second half, the various mechanisms of the tower and how to crack them, as well as the structural distribution diagram of the mage tower, are all written in a special secret script.
Zhao Xu needs to find the corresponding "key" to crack it, and according to the book, the key is hidden in the mage tower.
That is to say, he has to enter the mage tower before he can continue reading.
Zhao Xu knew there was something fishy about this arrangement, but he didn't say any more.
The group then made a plan for the next day's battle on the temporarily sketched sand table.
For safety reasons, Zhao Xu still asked Shuangjian and other union members to go offline one by one. As for him, he also went offline after becoming invisible.
After Zhao Xu recovered, he found that Zhang Qi was typing the keyboard excitedly below, while he couldn't help but curse.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu asked curiously after getting out of bed and standing behind Zhang Qi.
Logically speaking, Zhang Qi should still be dealing with problems in Falling Star Town this night. Recently, Zhang Qi also took the position of the minor leader of the security team, similar to Zhao Xu's subordinates in his previous life.
"It's so irritating. Our players were actually killed by the game's NPC, and even the basic chance of resurrection was lost." Zhang Qi said angrily, "I am currently writing an email to inquire about some planning. What kind of stupid design is this? Sure, five resurrection stones are already difficult enough, but they are still tormenting us like this."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he knew it was related to him.
However, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he sat quietly on his stool alone, with the light accompanying the laptop startup screen shining on his face.
In this era of late-night entertainment, Zhao Xu's usual frenzied turn on the microphone was much lower, and was mostly covered by the sound of crickets outside the balcony.
Zhao Xu soon saw the current hot post on the forum, but he couldn't help but want to sneer.
Unexpectedly, after the four players died and found that they could not be resurrected, they immediately went to the forum to post a rhythm post in anger. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Xu could not go to Earth to post a refutation, he poured all the sewage on him first.
At the same time, he also challenged the tc family's planning regarding the fact that he could not be resurrected, and demanded compensation.
Even Zhao Xu didn't expect that the "unresurrection" thing would hit the player's sensitive point.
When players discovered the "Soul Prisoner Demon" in the previous life, everyone already had some strength at that time and already knew some methods of dealing with it. It was basically difficult for anyone who was not a novice to be tricked.
Who knew that after Zhao Xu took the lead in taking out this "big killer" in the early two months, he would then cooperate with the "bloody" complaints from the four players.
"It's unfair enough" combined with the common point of "I may encounter it too", it was like a hot stone thrown into a pool, causing countless bubbles to burst into flames.
Even his roommate Zhang Qi felt filled with indignation at first glance and wanted to side with this group of players and file a complaint.
It's just that Zhao Xu didn't rush to write a detailed post about everything that happened today, nor did he go out of his way to post refutations on the main posts.
Instead, he directly opened a text editor and started typing on the keyboard.
As time passed, it took Zhao Xu more than an hour to finish writing the article.
At this time, he glanced at the forum and noticed that several titles had been posted.
[Originally I should have remained silent, but now with all due respect I will tell you the story of contemporary Mr. Dong Guo.]
[Looking back, it turns out that this is the characteristic of some players.]
[Some people just “go to hell”]
Those four players still didn't realize that Zhao Xu represented a community of interests for the Watchmen Union at this time.
They won't change their minds just because of a few messages asking them to keep it secret, and they even took screenshots as evidence of lying.
When forty other witnesses to the incident during the day came forward to testify, especially when this group of people themselves had a certain reputation in Mystra, the entire forum suddenly began to understand that the four players had brought it upon themselves.
It's just that at this time, there were many big Vs on the forum who had already taken sides with the four players. Some of them did not back down. They continued to cling to the game and should not use the one-through-five killing method.
Otherwise, everyone will just use this method in the future, and there is no point in setting up five resurrection stones specifically.
This has even exceeded the expectations of the four players, and more and more divers in the entire forum have intervened.
There's a whole thread going on about Arthur and whether this method of killing should exist.
As the number of disputes increased, many high-level Arthur players began to express their opinions.
Except for mages, most advanced players think this setting is a failure. ,
In other words, this one-to-five method is like a one-hit kill in a fighting game. There is no chance of regret at all, and it is naturally taboo for countless advanced players.
At the same time, many players have begun to express their opinions.
As time goes by, the mainstream opinion on the forum tends to be that Dongcheng Ling is a level 3 mage player.
However, no one realized that Dongcheng Ling was already taking action.
Zhao Xu didn't intervene to refute just now, not because he didn't care, but because he needed a final word.
After Zhao Xu read through his full text again, he copied it directly to the forum's main post, and then tapped to publish it.
Immediately, many forum players who were still making impassioned comments on the main debate thread were greeted by crazy beeps from the QQ group.
At the same time, players who had set up "Special Tips" and "Super Followers" on the forum all saw a pop-up box.
For a time, countless forum users who followed the account "Dongcheng Ling" all saw the other party's post -
[About two types and several methods of imprisoning and annihilating souls, signed: Dongcheng Aya].
The post briefly described two types of methods. One is the inescapable method - after being hit by spells such as the sixth-ring "Devil's Feast", the ninth-ring spell "Rot Sac End", and the ninth-ring "Soul Binding Technique", you will be trapped forever. No resurrection.
The other kind will temporarily imprison the soul, but you can still choose suicide, which is soul reorganization, to be freed. The specific methods include the five-ring "Devil Soul Pot", the eight-ring "Soul Imprisonment Technique", "Soul Imprisonment Demon-Imprisoning the Body", "Becoming an Undead Creature", etc.
The specific details of the undead creature "Soul Capture Demon" that caused a lot of controversy on the forum also officially came into the player's sight with the introduction of the post.
The players whose souls were wiped out by Zhao Xu only found out at this time. Even if the "Soul Imprisonment Demon" uses the "Imprisonment Body", they can still commit suicide.
It's just that they reacted too slowly at the time, or they never made up their mind, and the result was that it took five rounds for the Soul Prisoner to overdraw their souls as spell-like energy.
Similarly, when a player is turned into an undead creature after death, the soul will remain in the undead creature's body and cannot be resurrected, but they can still choose to commit suicide for "resurrection."
Because the Resurrection Stone is equivalent to the "Complete Resurrection" of the ninth level, it can resurrect dead undead creatures and turn them into living creatures in front of them. Otherwise, a second-level priest who masters "manipulating the dead" can do it five times in a row.
It's just that turning into an undead creature means hanging up without being resurrected at best. Unlike the "Soul Prisoner Demon", if you don't commit suicide within five rounds in time, your soul will be annihilated.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was equivalent to blocking all future escape routes at once. This makes players lose the possibility of using the information gap to pierce through five places like he did today.
However, it also makes the high-level players feel at ease. After all, they have a way out of "suicide".
It's just that Zhao Xu himself possesses the legendary necromancy staff. The nine-ring "Soul Binding Technique" targets the corpse, siphoning the soul from the corpse and imprisoning it in the gem. This spell specifically states that all resurrection spells will not take effect, so even if the player commits suicide, his soul will still be reorganized in the gem and cannot be resurrected in the temple.
Zhao Xu was equivalent to relying on his own escape route and suddenly exposed all the secrets of future spellcasters' methods of imprisoning souls, leaving everyone with no way out.
After knowing how difficult it was to imprison the soul "one through five", the heat in the entire forum finally calmed down.
This also caused Zhao Xu's account "Dongcheng Ling" to become more popular. Among the recent top ten Arthur players, the ID "Dongcheng Ling" overtook the level 5 player "Starry Sky Reflection" for the first time.
After doing this, Zhao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when all players travel through time in a year, everyone will lose the resurrection stone and soul suicide ability.
That is to say, once the soul is imprisoned, it is really the price of never being reincarnated.
This is also the reason why Master Arthur has unlimited intimidation power against other professions.
After Zhao Xu did this, he didn't care about the forum that was in a state of chaos because of him.
In fact, he didn't bother to pay attention to some players' nonsense suggestions about how Arthur should improve.
Zhao Xu directly took out a piece of A3 white paper from the folder on the bookshelf, and then sketched a simple topographic map of Mystra's surroundings on it, covering the seven-day journey, and then he drew the map that was sure to contain a mage tower. The Mirror Moon Lake is marked.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Xu's mind. He hurriedly marked on the map the location where Andy performed the ritual of summoning alien creatures, the location of the sentry tower where the second notebook was buried, and the location of the sentry tower where they retrieved the second notebook from the underground temple. out of position.
Even the location of the mysterious manor that leads to the scavenger mines, and the location of the underground stone room that contains the third notebook.
When many locations were marked by Zhao Xu, he looked at the increasingly detailed and three-dimensional map. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He held the edge of the paper tightly and sighed secretly: "So that's it!"
