What should I do if it is too popular with players?

Chapter 342 Investigation of the Great Desert

When Kong Shan Yiyou said these words, his expression was extremely serious.

Everyone looked at each other and finally nodded.

Baodihun, the guarantor, said with a smile: "Don't worry, this necromancer is not the kind of mage who needs to be dealt with without serious crimes. Many innocent people died under his hands. I will take care of this matter." When I picked up the mission, I had already investigated the situation from the Adventurer's Guild."

"That's good. We don't need to think about the specific details. We just need to complete the task honestly." Nasiria said with a smile.

Nasiria can be regarded as a relatively special existence among this group of high-level players.

Unlike many players who secretly accept a large number of sinful tasks and quickly brush up their professional level, Nasiria is essentially a player who doesn't like fighting so much.

In this game, Nasiria always runs into various temporary tasks inexplicably, such as walking in the mountains to brush monsters and level up, and suddenly encounters the local investigation forest. The ranger who was seriously injured died suddenly after telling her the news that the beast swarm was coming, and she only needed to go back as soon as possible to notify the local lord, quickly return to defense and hunt monsters in advance.

She has received quite a few jobs like this, which is relatively simple but very lucky.

In addition, although she doesn't like fighting so much, as a battle mage, if she wants to test various styles of play, she always needs a lot of battles to feed back her own spells. Over time, her fighting ability will stand out from ordinary players.

"What do we need to do?" Someone looked at Baodi Soul, the guarantor.

The guarantor Baodi Hun shook his head and said: "Now there is a very important issue, that is, for this mission, the number of wild monsters we need to face is far below the normal situation.

This mission was specially released by Brother Kyle. It is aimed at those players with higher professional levels. Let a group of players quietly teleport to the surrounding area to investigate some situations in the periphery of the Great Desert. "

The guarantor, Baodi Hun, thought for a moment, and added: "The necromancer's situation is very special, he seems to be involved in some conspiracy in Lancaster, which has now become a holy place for mages.

After the conspiracy was exposed, he planned to steal a special book from Lancaster Territory. That book was said to be the "Necronomicon" left by brother Kyle, who had become the king of mages at that time. It hides the most advanced and special magic in necromancy. "

Surprised expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and they subconsciously said, "What is it?"

"It seems to be called "Book of the Dead" or something." Bao Dihun, the guarantor, said.

Nasiria was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard it wrong, so she said it again: "What spell book did you just say?"

"Book of the Dead, what's the matter, sister Naxi, have you heard of it?" Everyone looked at Naxilia.

Nasiria pondered for a moment, and said: "The "Book of the Dead" was almost a taboo in the Battle Mage Academy back then. At that time, the main student trained by Brother Kyle had an accident. The student named Anderson, because After the death of his lover, he began to try to use the knowledge he learned from Kyle to create his own resurrection magic and resurrect his dead lover."

"This kind of thing... isn't very likely, is it? I haven't heard of any special spells that can resurrect the dead in this game except for divine spells." My love Xiaoyi said.

[I love Xiaoyi] As an explorer with sufficient vigilance, during the years of the game, he has often completed puzzle-solving tasks one after another by relying on his superhuman observation skills.

Although he is not a mage, he will also learn about the main fighting methods mastered by professionals from all walks of life. Therefore, some information that is relatively clear within the mage profession has also been obtained by him through various channels.

And among the many materials he collected, none of them mentioned anything about resurrection magic.

But after hearing what he said, Nasiria shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, such magic did not exist at the beginning. There is no real sense of perfecting the spell.

The student was induced by the gods of the holy Brinia that still existed back then, and understood the core of various divine spells. Based on the spell theory mastered by Kyle, he perfected the low-level spell called 'Resurrection' Model framework.

But it's not a good thing..."

After hearing what Nasiria said, she suddenly paused, [I love Xiaoyi] how can everyone not understand that this is another tragedy.

"Did something happen?" Kongshan Yiyou asked curiously.

Nasiria shook his head and sighed: "The student named Anderson was a pawn controlled by the God of Life's gang of evil gods. After perfecting the underlying resurrection model, they controlled him to go crazy and turned into a mountain-like skeleton. Centipede, rampant in the northern wilderness.

Later, it was little brother Kyle who came to the scene in person, killed him directly, and devoured everything about him. With the help of his understanding of the magic theory of the child of the world level, he finally perfected the special spell [Resurrection]. "

Everyone was stunned.

Such a rare spell, due to the special circumstances of little brother Kyle, actually did not upload this too important spell model to the backstage of Mage.com.

They also failed to learn the details of the relevant spells with the help of the Mage Network. Only Nasiria, because he joined Lancaster's Battle Mage Academy in the early years, knew more or less about the legend of the "Book of the Dead". How scary.

"Is this task really acceptable at our level? The NPC who can steal important secret spells from Sterling should be more dangerous than we imagined, right? Are you really going to try it?"

I love Xiaoyi with a hesitant look on her face.

But the guarantor, Baodi Hun, smiled and said: "I know about this matter, and you don't need to worry too much. In fact, the information stolen by the necromancer is not real information, but has been modified, and the core content is wrong. replica.

Let us come here this time, the focus is still to use our players' crowd tactics to find the necromancer in the shortest possible time, and then find out the secrets of the people behind the necromancer. "

When everyone heard the words, they all understood what was going on.

"Then everyone, before coming here, the reopened Jiuyue Heavy Industry, you have brought the customized equipment for us, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Who would have thought that Jiuyue Heavy Industry has developed to this point.

The time when the players went offline due to the update of the game version was not long after the decisive battle between the Ibel Federation and Holy Brinia.

Some people speculated that the reason for the version update should be that Kyle flew to the astral world, became an enemy of the gods, and killed some gods. After the game version was updated, he directly advanced to the ship of version 3.0 [God and Man] new version.

Not long after the players disappeared, the Shenhua Continent collapsed due to the separation of the Holy Brinia, and all the allies who were originally on the side of the Federation, after the disappearance of the Papal State, directly turned into wanting to further carve up Iber The scourge of the Federation.

In other words, even after the players have left the game in these years, the conflicts on Shenhua Continent are not only less terrifying than before, but also because of the war, the Jiuyue Heavy Industry in the Lancaster Territory had to use all its firepower. Open, crazy explosive equipment to meet the needs of the Federation.

However, Jiuyue Heavy Industry, which received strong support from the Federation, faced a very difficult problem at that time.

That is, due to the sudden departure of the players, there were direct problems with many running pipelines.

At that time, Elana, who had started to manage some of Kyle's territorial privileges, chose to invite candidates widely, hoping to rely on a large number of people to maintain the continuous operation of Jiuyue Heavy Industry.

Unexpectedly, Jiuyue Heavy Industry, which was incorporated because of the absence of the players, not only did not fall due to the departure of the players in this case, but was restarted by the ordinary people who were recruited later. The operation of the assembly line .

More than ten years have passed, relying on the prosperity of Lancaster's holy land of mages, and growing up step by step, Jiuyue Heavy Industry has become the largest trading firm in Lancaster, and has even mastered quite a lot of alchemy and magic techniques.

No, when the heavy industry players went online again in September, they found that their own production base had been taken over by Lancaster Territory, and it had grown to a level beyond their comprehension.

Of course, even if the players came back, it would be impossible to directly hand over Jiuyue Heavy Industries to them.

The current Jiuyue Heavy Industry can be said to be a behemoth developed by relying on the prestige of the Lord's Mansion and the prosperity of the Mage's Holy Land. During the most critical time period, the players did not participate at all.

However, unable to hold back the generosity of September Heavy Industries, they still rebuilt a medium-scale alchemy and magic equipment factory for the players, and handed it over to the original September Heavy Industries players to use and be responsible for their own profits and losses, and even allowed them to continue to use September The name of heavy industry.

Under such circumstances, figure players with a lot of strange ideas in their minds began to try to use their own knowledge to integrate some technologies that originally only existed in human conjoined bodies, or even only in fantasy. , turned into reality.

Among them, the most outstanding and well-received equipment is the [Optical Camouflage] bought by the guarantors and the souls.

Unlike ordinary camouflage uniforms that only use special colors to achieve a confusing effect, optical camouflage, a special equipment that can change colors with the environment, is very suitable for any kind of players who often explore in the wild.

Especially in areas like the edge of the great desert, in the scene of yellow sand all over the sky, there is a vast desert as far as the eye can see. If they just make it clear that the chariots and horses are heading towards the area where the necromancer is, it will not be too late. If he had time to walk a third of the way, he might have been observed by the other party.

At that time, the necromantic monsters sent out by the necromancer might surround and kill them in the desert.

They came out to form a group to do missions to have fun, not to seek guilt.

"Split up, everyone, is that okay?" Everyone took out the optical camouflage from the system backpack and covered it on their bodies.

For them, as long as they can see where they are, they can locate the location of other players through the system, so they don't have to worry about people disappearing as they walk.

So after simply assigning the direction of investigation, they quickly dispersed and headed towards the edge area full of desert monsters.

[A tour of the empty mountain] is the one with the fastest sneak speed.

Unlike others, as a fighter who has experienced training in the special unit of the Human Consortium, he is very familiar with this crawling posture.

If the others were crawling forward in the desert environment, then she seemed to be on the accelerator, and her forward speed was far faster than that of them.

But soon, she realized that something was wrong.

She has always believed in her intuition, and she has a different perception of danger than ordinary people, so she discovered something was wrong not long after sneaking.

She turned on the system and privately chatted with other members of the small team:
"I have penetrated nearly seven kilometers into the edge of the desert in my direction. Now there is a very strange situation. I don't know if you have encountered it there. I haven't found any monsters in the desert."

Sister Astarte replied: "Isn't it a good thing that no monsters were found? This shows that our lurking was very successful!"

I love Xiaoyi and said: "No, I think what Xiaoyou wants to talk about is not these, but the monsters that should have been active around the desert, but now they can't even feel the breath of their existence."

Nasiria said: "It seems that there are no monsters here?"

Kong Shanyiyu nodded and said, "That's right, you all know that I'm still sensitive to crises, but after traveling for so long, I haven't felt any monsters that can threaten me in the surrounding environment."

As she said this, she directly canceled the optical camouflage on her body, and a person suddenly appeared in the vast desert.

She walked around the surrounding area without fear, and then replied to everyone:
"My guess is correct. For some reason, there are basically no monsters around the desert. I took off the optical camouflage, and I haven't encountered any attacks from monsters lurking in the sand. I suspect that our planned mission has Change."

In fact, after she finished speaking, everyone except the most cautious Nasiria took off their optical camouflage and took a good look around.

Nasiria didn't have the ability to perceive the surrounding situation, but she couldn't help that she was a battle mage, and soon found magic from the magic net that could enhance perception.

After a series of magic was cast on her body, she didn't feel any movement around her.

"There is a problem. There are at least a million monsters inhabiting here. Now it has entered the outer circle, and not a single monster has appeared!"

　Street diary:
　　【Player Diary】

　　Speaking of the player's plot, because I have been pushing the main line before, I feel that I haven't mentioned the player's plot for a long time.

　　I just took advantage of this opportunity to warm up my hands. The number of words in the latest update has plummeted, and I need to do a rebuild.

　　(Evaluation: Damn, the limit of 13000 words a day is the lower limit of the number of words updated every day in the past. It really needs to be rebuilt)
