I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

I only know Yidiandian because I am doing popular science videos, so I have met many people with a good thirst for knowledge. He knows that being smart and knowing a lot is not an equivalent description.

For example, many people think that if they travel to ancient times, relying on modern vision and cognition can make all kinds of successes. This is actually because people in modern society accept a lot of information, even elementary school students can know a lot through the Internet.

But cleverness is the speed of understanding new things. For example, the young mage in front of me, although he doesn't know anything about the Internet or computers, he only understands billions of points and just explained a few things casually. He can quickly understand, and Putting forward your own ideas, some even only know a little about Yidiandian, and only know that there is such a technology.

"So, we can actually adopt such a magic net composition. Compared with the pollution carried by only a few gods, this method of distributing the pollution to everyone connected to the magic net can better eliminate the pollution. influences."

Jost confirmed his thoughts while taking notes.

"However, there are two problems with this magic net model. First, even so, several powerful nodes are still needed to store core magic. That is to say, we still need to find some god-like traits and use them to Memory knowledge, other spellcasters who joined the magic net are only used to maintain the existence of the magic net."

"Another problem is that a large number of ordinary spellcasters are required to join the magic net. When there are too few spellcasters in the magic net, the pollution is still serious. At least a few thousand mages are needed to maintain the normal operation of the magic net."

"Indeed, leaving aside the first problem, the second problem is also difficult to solve in today's Kingdom of the Night, as the number of court mages is too small."

Shia agreed.

She also gained a certain understanding of the underlying design of the magic net through the explanation that she only knew about billions of points, as well as the discussion with Jost.

In Shia's era, mage towers could be seen everywhere, but in this era, there are almost no such buildings.

Shia had to suspect that the mage tower itself might be a kind of magic net augmentation device.

The mage tower is a magical structure. Ordinary mages can connect to the magic net more easily near the mage tower, and the spells released will also increase to a certain extent. For example, the gray tower is the largest mage tower in the Kingdom of the Night.

Now, Shia can better understand the function of this structure. Through the increase of the Mage Tower, the nearby Mage can more easily bear the pollution. Therefore, the establishment of the Gray Tower must be due to the needs of the magic net. The two are closely related. .

Reversing this, Shia believes that each mage tower is a high-level node that stores knowledge and pollution, and is a concrete building of the magic net.

As for the number of court mages, Shia couldn't think of a way.

Even if the magic net can be established, ordinary people immediately sign a three-way handshake agreement to connect to the magic net, but these ordinary people who have never been polluted will definitely lose their minds immediately, and even conversely pollute the magic net. It is too difficult to access the magic net that was first born.

However, all the difficulties are nothing compared to finding some gods who can withstand pollution, and imprisoning them, honestly treating them as pollution trash cans.

Lu Jian thought for a while, wondering if he could find someone like Charlotte or Leopard to replace him, but he also felt that if such a fun person really connected to the magic net, maybe he would put some strange things on the magic net. , weird, forbidden knowledge to sanction those curious mages.

He decided not to bother those two.

A burst of thunder came from outside, and Drizzt, who was listening in a cloud, looked outside.

In the forest in the distance, there is a thunderstorm brewing.

The thundercloud is far beyond the normal scale, even if it is more than a hundred miles away, it is still clearly visible.

"That's a curse, too."

Jost explained.

"A powerful mage who can leave a curse before dying."

"curse?"

Drizzt looked at the deep purple thundercloud, feeling palpitations.

"Yes, the more powerful a mage is, the more pollution they carry. When they are young, powerful, and rational, these pollution can be suppressed, and some mages will also choose to let themselves Part of the body is alienated to alleviate the torment of pollution on the mind.”

Jost replied.

"But when they are old, their sanity has been exhausted, the pollution in their bodies has reached the limit, and they may be out of control at any time. Some mages have almost lost all their sanity and fell into madness. At this time, many mages They will choose to take their own initiative to end their own lives.”

"Is sanity lowered?"

Drizzt glanced at his remaining sanity, and suddenly began to think about his own end.

According to Lu Jian and the others, he should have chosen to stay in Lu Jian's world and seal the old ruler who is about to wake up.

But Drizzt didn't know any way to seal the Old One, so he couldn't imagine how he made such a choice.

But Drizzt's own sanity is indeed not much left, and there are at most two more missions, and he may really go crazy.

If that time comes, Drizzt feels that he may really choose to sacrifice himself and leave something for this world, as Lu Jian and the others said.

Just like those mages.

"Yes, these mages will go deep into the Black Forest to avoid affecting humans as much as possible, and then use all the remaining power to construct a unique magic that belongs only to them. This is the curse left by the mages."

Jost explained.

"For example, Agni the Burner, he is one of the greatest mages in history. He wiped out two demon tide lords by himself. Before he died, he chose to enter the deep forest of the extreme north and turned into a The huge fire tornado, in the north of the kingdom, you can see the scarlet red when you look to the north after nightfall."

"It's like this one again. It should be the curse left by Thunder Solar. This curse hovers above the Black Forest for many years. While moving, it has a devastating effect on the monsters in the Black Forest."

He said, looking at the deep purple thunder and lightning in the distance, the thunder light reflected his side face, focused and serious.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===716. Grain Harvest===

The second batch of test recruitment qualifications made everyone eager to see.

Although it was only three days before the first closed beta, [Prisoner Cage] has become the benchmark of games in the new era under the publicity of various beta players.

The quality of a game, the manufacturer's publicity, and the media's evaluation may not necessarily reflect it.

But the word-of-mouth of players cannot be faked.

Games with mixed reviews and rave reviews don't seem to appeal to players the same way.

Not to mention, Lu Jian has never disappointed anyone before.

The excellent quality of [Spiritual Night] itself is even more exciting.

If I really want to say it, [Calling the Soul Night] gives people the impression that in addition to being amazing, it is more full of meaning.

It's like eating a cake for everyone. This cake is fragrant and delicious, and it's beautiful, but the problem is that it can be eaten in one bite, and it's not enough.

According to the content mentioned by the current beta test players, it is not a piece of cake, but a sea and land feast, full of Han people, and it is estimated that you may not be able to eat half of it if you are full.

That's not a game, it's a world.

During the three days of the closed test, the Kingdom of the Night explored by the players was nothing more than a small town with a population of a few hundred and the surrounding forest area, not even a slightly larger university campus.

In this world, players can do whatever they want.

Some people farm and work hard every day, waiting for the harvest.

Some people took up weapons and hunted in the forest. From the beginning of the state of "every monster in this forest has killed me", to the latter with no clothes and a broken sword to single out four-legged small animals.

Others used their strengths to make reasonable plans for the original farmland, or helped the baron's mansion to re-layout, and prepared some tools for the production of buildings.

Old eggplants are now in anticipation waiting to be harvested.

In fact, the crops he sowed have matured for two rounds, and now, the third round is about to mature.

The crops in Kingdom of the Night really opened the eyes of Old Eggplant.

This wheat-like crop germinated in the evening when it was first planted, and turned into green onion seedlings the next morning.

By the next day, green spikes that were already visible to the naked eye grew out from between the branches.

On the third day, when the old eggplants were still studying how to harvest, the crops were ripe.

That night, they ate bread made from these things.

The taste of these breads is not very good, but it is not bad to eat.

In this era, many breads are not only made of flour from the corners, but also mixed with wood chips and other things that are not food in themselves. It tastes not only delicious, but at least tastes like chewing wax.

For the old eggplant, these breads can't really supplement your body anyway, but it can still relieve the hunger in the game to a certain extent.

And for those who have been relying on mountains to eat mountains and rivers to eat rivers for a long time, this thing is simply a godsend.

The townspeople quickly shared the food. At the same time, the players got more seeds from Lu Yi and continued to plant them.

Less than nine days have passed since Kingdom of the Night, and the town has already stockpiled a lot of food. If things go on like this, at most one month, Sunset Town can store food for the winter.

The old eggplant felt the joy of a good harvest.

He began to understand why his grandparents liked growing crops so much. Even if their children had no worries about food and clothing, and they could enjoy their retirement, they still liked to farm.

When watching the grain harvest and the warehouse is full of food, people's sense of happiness is unmatched by anything.

Not to mention that these things are all planted by myself.

Of course, the old eggplant also encountered some problems.

For example, there is too much food, and most of the townspeople in Rimu Town eat as much as they grow. The only place to store food is under the bed and in their stomachs.

There are no serious granaries in town.

For another example, the houses of the townspeople are all made of wood, and the only mud-heaped baron's mansion was created many years ago. The civil engineering in the town is basically at the stage of pure handicraft work, full of craftsmanship, that is I can't quite adapt to the modern building structure. If I want to build a house, I'm afraid I have to make tools first.

Fortunately, there are still some old weapons left in the town. After the players' whimsical ideas, they finally got some wood and built a place to store food for the time being.

Still looking at the golden ears of wheat in the field and giggling, the old eggplant suddenly felt that the sky was getting darker.

He looked into the distance, and found that the dark purple storm that had been entrenched above the black forest before had disappeared.

Instead, there are thick and gloomy clouds.

The clouds are like deep volcanic ash after a volcanic eruption, spreading from the other end of the horizon, covering the sky.

Between the clouds, the crimson lightning flashed on and off, as if it was about to swallow the world.

"Is this a demon tide?"

The old eggplant suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in "Magic Tide", the huge single-body storm swept by the bitter cold wind, accompanied by countless gray and white winter wolves rushing forward, destroying everything in sight.

Although I have experienced the desperate scene in the movie, and I have seen such a monster rushing forward in various games and film and television works, but in reality, standing in front of such a magnificent force, the old eggplant still I felt an instinctive shudder.

A gust of wind blew in, causing the ears of wheat to sway constantly. The players all looked there curiously, while the townspeople rarely showed expressions other than numbness and the joy of eating ordinary-tasting bread. .

That is fear.

"Is this a demon tide?"

Drizzt looked out the window, the sudden change of sky was not a picture worth celebrating in this foreign land anyway.

He came to the Kingdom of the Night, and the previous mission was also to experience the magic tide, but that was when he had just become the chosen one, and it was still on [mortal] difficulty. At that time, Drizzt and several rangers And mages are stationed in strongholds close to human towns, not as bridgeheads against monsters like Lu Jian, the first line.

Even so, Drizzt has seen the horror of those monsters. Human beings are unable to support even the monsters that escaped through the net. The long sword was broken and the shield was pierced through. Only the crimson blood moon dyed the earth red .

"No, according to the observations of the kingdom's chief mages, the next demon tide is still at least half a year away, and the blood moon has not yet risen. This should just be the weather pollution caused by the migration of some collectively acting monsters."
