Quadruple split

Although I don’t know what happened behind the two windows, what happened to the mural a few seconds ago is already very telling. According to Mo Tan’s judgment, the monster hidden in the painting has such poor acting skills. A little, but still quite adequate in terms of strength.

You must know that the [Diana's Dowry·Crystal Heart] on his left index finger is a good thing that can make the wearer immune to mental attacks, mental control and other means to a great extent. However, Mo Tan is still trying to do that with that monster. When he controlled himself, he couldn't help but raise his hands. Although he soon counteracted the control with extreme perseverance, it also proved from the side that the monster lurking in the oil painting was not weak.

To be able to make Mo Tan, protected by the Crystal Heart, lose control for just a second or two, his level of strength must be at least that of an existence with half a foot in the epic realm. Even if this haunted house is the home of that thing, the level of that monster It will definitely not be lower than the high-level peak.

Some people may think this is a bit exaggerated. After all, Mo Tan is just a quasi-first-class player who has not even made it into the top 100 of the personal combat power rankings. His specific strength is only a little better than Yuying. How come he is not even a top player? Even the half-epic monsters can't defeat him?

If you put it this way, what about those guys in the top ten of the rankings, such as Futaba? Autumn, Awakening of the Dragon, etc., aren’t they all already either epics or legends? And the question mark brother who ranks at the top of the double list, will he be so fortress that he can overturn the entire continent?

Of course that can't be the case~

Because this account cannot actually be calculated like this.

First of all, from the perspective of the character Tan Mo, although this guy is now just a level 1 thief who has just entered the high-level threshold, in terms of overall strength, including talents and equipment, he is actually better than most people who have just entered the high-level thief. People with high thresholds should be strong

For example, the [Only Epic] quality equipment, the [Diana's Dowry Crystal Heart] in Mo Tan's hand is very fortress, and the staff [Wither] that Idong just bought last week Hand] is just average, not even as powerful as some sophisticated or even excellent weapons.

Many people know that in the game Innocence, powerful equipment must be of high quality, but high-quality equipment may not be very powerful.

To take the simplest example, a [Silver Scale Breastplate] with 5 gold coins that can be worn by any physical melee profession over level 20 is definitely not as good as having to be at least level 45 to meet the basic requirements. The equipment conditions and quality are only excellent [high-level Paladin standard plate armor].

In the same way, epic equipment that can be used at level 10 is naturally not as good as epic equipment that can be used at least level 50.

Of course, equipment above the level of unique and sophisticated will have some special features, and many of these special features are extremely cost-effective and may not be replaced for months or even a year or two. For example, fire damage is increased by 20%. ', 'There is no need to breathe when swimming', 'The recovery speed of physical energy after entering combat status will not decrease', etc.

But in most cases, people will still choose 'advanced' equipment instead of 'high-quality' equipment. Apart from anything else, a low-level high-quality equipment with a 'higher' attack power is basically impossible to defeat. A high-end ordinary quality equipment with 'medium' attack power.

Of course, this problem is not impossible to solve. If you really like a piece of equipment, there are many ways to improve its quality. The simplest way is to collect some precious materials and find a craftsman to recast it. However, because of the cost-effectiveness of these methods It is usually very low and not universal. In addition, there is too much and complicated knowledge in related aspects, so I won’t explain it here. For specific examples, please refer to Ji Xiaodao’s sword that was once called [Black Curse Rapier] The sword [Curse].

All in all, Mo Tan happens to have two pieces of equipment that have extremely excessive effects and whose theoretical equipment level is much higher than his actual level. They are the ring on his left hand [Diana's Dowry·Crystal Heart] and the special equipment [Diana's Dowry]. ·Talasha's handmade earrings], these two pieces of equipment are far higher than Mo Tan's current level in terms of attributes and characteristics. If they were replaced with other equipment of the same quality, even if he could acquire it, he would never be able to equip it. on, but.

Because the equipment (verb) conditions of the above two pieces of equipment (noun) are: ‘Diana A. Achizolti’s lover’, so Motan can really wear it.

Therefore, relying on the powerful characteristics of the crystal heart in his left hand, Mo Tan was able to withstand the mental interference of the oil painting monster with an almost immune attitude, and he was able to throw the latter out to thunder a few seconds later.

This gave rise to two new questions.

First of all, why did Mo Tan, who was wearing two ox-breds as a dowry, still not be among the top 100 in the combat power rankings?

This is actually very easy to explain. To put it more bluntly, everyone ranked above him has a stronger theoretical strength than the character 'Tan Mo'.

You must know that encountering various adventures in Innocence is not the privilege of the protagonist or important characters. This game with a player base of tens of millions has been in operation for more than half a year. All kinds of strong people can be said to be everywhere. Among them, there are many players who have encountered world tasks, advanced task chains, treasures, and white-bearded old men and gained a lot. And everyone who can be ranked in the top 100 has a more exciting game trajectory than Mo Tan. Which personality is much inferior on its own? It doesn't even matter if you wear equipment when you move up a level.

And another question is why the oil painting monster that is guaranteed to have a half-step epic level will appear in this mission. You must know that with Yuying’s current strength, the difficulty of the mission [Blood Resentment Fills the Window] has long been reduced from The 'extreme danger' three months ago became 'high', even less difficult than when she first did [Nightingale Leaving Song]. Under this premise, a person with such strength appeared in this haunted house. The monsters are somewhat unscientific.

The answer is very simple, that is, this monster with some exceptional strength is not actually the enemy of the two uninvited guests, Yu Ying and Mo Tan. Of course, it is indeed possible for it to become an enemy and complete a double kill, but it is only a possibility. It's just a matter of sex. In fact, as long as it doesn't touch the minefield, the monster hidden in the oil painting will basically remain neutral. If the person doing the task is slippery enough, he can even be persuaded to become a companion, thereby greatly reducing the risk of this task. Difficulty.

You know, there are only two tasks in the mission [Blood Resentment Fills the Window], which are to 'find out the secret of Jingyu Manor' and 'successfully arrive at the piano room', and who is trapped in this haunted house does not know The long-standing monster naturally knows that 'secret', so as long as it is willing, it can directly help Yuying complete half of the task.

but

Under the premise that Yu Ying was already frightened, she first focused on Mo Tan.

There is no doubt that this is a huge mistake for this unlucky monster!

It didn't expect that this young man who didn't seem to be very strong could ignore his most proud mental control. It didn't expect that this guy would throw himself out when 'that' appeared, and it didn't expect that he would put down his body and seek cooperation. Sometimes he will be ruthlessly rejected and eventually die a violent death.

Until the moment before it died, it couldn't figure out why that guy would just watch the person who could definitely help him die. What did the phrase "Bibi, Bibi, Bibi" mean in the end?

And what exactly was Mo Tan thinking?

This is a long story.

Anyway, to briefly summarize, although he immediately figured out that the oil painting monster could provide a lot of help to himself and Yuying, and also knew that he should be able to easily rescue it with his position and angle, but because this guy pretended to be My expression and demeanor were really not up to par, and I didn't show any charm at all, so I just let it die.

As for whether the difficulty of the mission would skyrocket after this guy was finished, and whether he and Yu Ying would encounter greater and more exciting dangers, Mo Tan didn't really care.

Just very willful.

However, he was willful. At this moment, Mo Tan was still so obedient that he stood between the two windows. He had no idea of ​​leaning out to take a look. He just looked at the man not far away with interest, still holding his head. A crouching warbler.

Although I don't know how the big bulldog outside the window managed to be so tender as the oil painting monster, based on Mo Tan's initial judgment, the boss's attack method most likely needs to be 'seen', 'noticed' or 'observed' target, so I was fine standing in the blind corner, but the oil painting that was thrown out was ruined.

In this case, the chance of being discovered by Yu Ying, who was squatting with his head in the middle of the hall, was close to 100%.

That is to say

The smile on Mo Tan's lips grew stronger, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the [Soothing Lantern] beside Yu Ying flashing violently, and then

The thin moonlight illuminated the specks of dust in the air. The shadow that had previously covered the entire floor seemed not to have any intention of striking a double kill while the iron was hot, but left quietly.

"As expected, that lantern is indeed a great help."

Mo Tan smacked his lips, then walked briskly to the completely dead oil painting monster a few meters away, looking curiously at the thin skeleton floating in a pool of blood.

"It's a baby."

He stretched out his hand to poke the little skeleton and said with a smile: "And it's the kind that died before it was even born. No wonder it's so powerful."

Not far away, Yu Ying, who seemed to have heard what Mo Tan was saying to himself, trembled violently, but still firmly maintained a defensive posture with her head in her arms. She curled up on the spot and closed her eyes tightly, without raising her head or speaking, even Not even a friend message was sent to Mo.

"Don't worry, I'm watching you."

Mo Tan, who was a little regretful that Yu Ying had not been turned into a scumbag by the boss outside the window, smiled, casually said a word of relief and walked slowly to a place diagonally opposite to the former, watching with the increasingly clear 'ticking' sound in his ears. He glanced at the other two windows on this floor, then sat down slowly behind a long table lying horizontally, waiting quietly.

a moment later

Although his body was covered by the wooden table, Mo Tan still made a judgment based on the changes in the surrounding moonlight.

After 3 minutes and 15 seconds, the boss whom he could never offend appeared again. He should be located at the window not far to his right.

The faint light behind him flashed, and it seemed that he was blocking some kind of fatal force from Yu Ying.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

The voice in the back of my mind was still ringing, but it seemed to be much louder.

Half a minute later, the shadow dissipated, and the two huge and cloudy eyes blinked lightly and quickly disappeared out of the window.

Mo Tan, who judged this fact based on the change in light, quickly rushed out from behind the table at the same time, moving in the first-floor hall with rapid strides, and even drew the curtains casually when passing the window several times, completely unreasonable. Care about making an already disconcerting environment even more eerie.

Three minutes later, Mo Tan returned to the previous table, and after reciting a few words silently, he unexpectedly waited until the untouchable boss appeared again, and the location where he appeared this time was. It was behind the window less than two meters away from Mo Tan, and after looking around aimlessly for half a minute, he mysteriously disappeared for the third time.

[If I guess correctly, based on the frequency of the 'tick' sound and the number of windows on the first floor, there should be about eight and a half minutes of 'safety time' left.】

Mo Tan continued to rush out from behind the table without hesitation, quickly confirming whether there was any abnormality in the hall he was in compared to before, and tentatively pushed the way he came, but as expected, he couldn't. open.

[To be precise, it should be seven and a half minutes, because there are still two 30-second rest periods, so the plot killing is not bad. Is it an epic quest chain?]

Mo Tan yawned and took out a reagent bottle filled with dark red particles. The moment the pair of eyes that could definitely stare it to death disappeared, he rushed to the door and put the reagent bottle into a He knocked on the oil lamp which was covered with dust.

Suddenly, with a burst of bright flames, the oil lamp that must have been scrapped just by looking at it glowed again.

"If it is not possible to restore this layer to its original state within the specified time."

Mo Tan casually threw the full reagent bottle into the air, then quickly pulled out the [Yaoxie] hanging on his waist and swung it with all his strength. The moment he shattered the bottle of medicine, a stream of fire appeared in the air. The overflowing inflammation marks immediately walked towards the wall slowly, laughing in a low voice: "As long as that thing that I don't know what it is lies on all the windows, or that lively and cute ticking sound is not distorted at all. Besides, this mission is probably over."

He has no doubt that as long as the above situation occurs, he and Yu Ying will definitely be killed by force majeure in a short time.

"But it doesn't matter~"

He leaned lazily by a window, looking at a total of five oil lamps that were lit with firelight, his expression calm and indifferent.

The next second, two huge eyes appeared beside him.

"This kind of bridge that you can get through with recklessness is basically for nothing."
