Chapter 113 Tourist Attractions

"I can't restore your abilities, but I can repair your body, but you have to find a way to get the commandment stone yourself." Harriet said it easily, but the little girl's expression was disgusting.

"In the end, you still destroyed my ability. I really didn't expect to meet a master like you. It signals that you are no longer my master. From the moment the Stone of Commandment was destroyed, all my original information has been clear, among which It also includes the recognition of your master-slave relationship. Now I am a free person."

"Oh? Are you free?" Harriet said to the little girl as she walked to stand in front of me, and then looked me up and down for a long time. Although this guy is built like a dwarf, his actual height is far higher than that of a normal person. He just stood in front of me and looked at me condescendingly. "I think you are the helper invited by the dwarves, right?"

I took half a step back, and then the muscles on my body suddenly grew longer, and my whole body instantly rose to more than two meters tall.

Harriet stared at me in surprise: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just don't like the feeling of being looked down upon." After turning into a werewolf form, I was actually taller than this guy.

"Oh? Hahahaha!" Harriet smiled exaggeratedly. "People who have the same dream as me are indeed of a different type. Little guy, you are really arrogant, you know? But I like your character. Tell me, what is the reward? For example, smelting weapons Or repair armor or something like that, I am the God of Forging, and the fusion success rate of refining weapons is 100%, don’t you have anything to repair?”

"I won't be able to use the repair equipment, but I hope you can give her to me if possible. Also, I need your help to answer a question."

Harriet looked at the little girl I pointed at. "She is no longer mine, take it if you want. Anyway, without the Stone of Commandment, it is just a pile of waste. As for that question, what do you want to ask?"

"Let's put it this way. I need to find the magical gem. I heard that you know some information, so I came to you to ask."

"The power gem?" Harriet recalled it for a moment before shouting in realization: "Oh, you're talking about the forbidden stone that can break the special abilities of the gods, right? That's a contraband! But we are like this People probably don’t care about bans.”

"I just want to know where that thing is."

"To be honest, I don't know." Harriet's words made my heart feel as if someone had hit me with a hammer, but this guy actually gasped when he spoke, paused for a long time, and then added: "But I know someone who has That thing."

"Who is he? How can I find him?"

"That old guy's name is Mamos, but I don't know where he is now. That old stubborn man likes to dig around in the tomb. I heard that he once got a piece of divine power from the tomb of a high-ranking god who died in battle. Stone, but I don’t know if it’s still there now. I remember that he lived in Egypt most of the time. You might as well go there and look for him.”

"Do you have his characteristics or something? We had to have a specific target to look for in the past!"

Harriet thought for a while and then said: "I'm not sure about the name. He has the habit of using pseudonyms. Characteristic...! This guy is very thin and looks like a mummy. He is a magician of the undead system. , so I have an advantage in digging graves. By the way, I seem to have his magic statue." Harriet said as she 'touched' a gem from her pocket, and then a three-dimensional shape suddenly appeared above the gem. portrait. The portrait does indeed look like a mummy, with only bones and skin, but its green eyes are very lively. "Here you go. This is what Mamos looks like. When you need to use it, think about what you want to see. As long as there is a record, the image can be displayed."

I took it and tried it while asking: "Are you familiar with him? You actually carry his magic image with you."

"It's familiar, of course it's familiar." Harriet said: "The one you took actually not only has his image, but many of my friends are in it."

"Then what will you do if I take this away? Isn't this thing very commemorative?" This thing is basically a magic photo album. It is estimated that taking it away directly may make Harriet embarrassed.

Harriet laughed heartily: "Forget it. Most of the people inside are gone. Keeping this thing will only make me sadder. There is no need to give it back to me."

I nodded and accepted the thing, then reached out and took the globe from Jingjing's hand. "Can you restore this thing's shape right away?"

Harriet took it and looked at me, and then said: "If you want to restore this thing to its original state, you just need its ability. In fact, you don't have to restore it to its previous appearance. From what I see, the thing on your back is These two things are very good. If you use them and fuse them with this thing, you can not only restore its original function, but also strengthen the function of the weapon."

"What's on my back?" I stretched out my hand, and the two and a half months behind me suddenly floated up, and then appeared in front of me in a flash. "Are you talking about these two?"

"Yes. How about it? I can do it in half an hour if you want."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Harriet nodded and said: "You can't be idle while I help you modify the weapons. Please help me tell you all the major things that happened during the time I was sealed."

"OK."

Under the leadership of Tomahawk, we arrived at the foundry area of ​​the dwarves. The dwarves here saw their earth gods returning and jumped around like crazy. Harriet reassured them briefly. Then he started to help me transform the ring of commandments, while I talked about some important things beside him. The dwarves here have not left here for a long time, so they are not familiar with things outside. I can only tell Harriet. After I explained the situation, he almost completed the transformation work. The God of Forging is indeed not comparable to ordinary blacksmiths. Not only is he fast, but his skills are absolutely top-notch.

The completed Half Moon has a major change in appearance from before. The half-moon used to be two crescent-shaped blades, but now it has three parts. When combined, they look like a steering wheel, and in the center is a transparent crystal with a metal edge. The shape of this crystal is a bit like a Chinese chess piece. However, the front and back sides are not completely flat. Instead, it bulges slightly outward. The crystal is surrounded by eight metal rods located in the same plane. They connect to the outer ring of strong metal like bicycle steel bars. This metal ring is the original two and a half moons. It's just that there are a lot more reliefs and inscriptions, and some things like locking mechanisms are also added. The combined half-moon is called the ring of commandments, and when it is broken down, it becomes the real half-moon. At this time, the two crescent knife wheels can still fly and attack. At the same time, the crystal in the center and the eight metal rods will form a magic attack device that can be defended or attacked. It can automatically protect the owner and counterattack when attacked. By.

The attributes of the new half moon are very exaggerated, but the specific combat effectiveness has to be tested in actual combat. I think what the God of Forging can come up with should not be too bad.

After getting the information I wanted, I didn't plan to stay here any longer. After signing a trade agreement with the dwarves, I left here with my magic pet. According to the agreement, our guild will completely occupy the splendid royal capital above in the future, and then turn it into the city of our guild. In this way, the dwarves' crypt exit is completely protected by our city below. We can sell various living supplies to the dwarves, and they can help us process various equipment. Our guild's Steel City is good at manufacturing large-scale equipment, but the dwarves are better at transforming magic equipment, so it's still cost-effective to sign a trade agreement with them.

According to the information provided by Harriet, the guy who may have the magical gem should be in Egypt, and at least some clues should be found in Egypt. First teleport back to Essinger to inform Rose to send people to occupy the Brilliant Royal Capital, and then use the teleportation array to reach Europe first. Then ride on the birds to Egypt. Our guild doesn't have a foothold in Africa, so it's really troublesome to go there.

Although I had been to Egypt once before, I didn't even enter the city at that time. I only stayed in the desert for less than half a day. This time was my real contact with Egypt. Talk about area. Egypt is not a small country, with a population of nearly 70 million, which is relatively large. However, the distribution of cities in Egypt is very unique. Almost all cities in the country are concentrated on both sides of the Nile River. Apart from this, there are only sporadic small cities built around oases. The remaining areas are all no man's land.

If you're looking for clues in Egypt, of course you have to go to the Nile Delta, where half of Egypt's cities are crowded. The flying birds and guardian spears took turns transporting me to the coast of Egypt. Once I entered the national border, I could use the teleportation ring. First put away the demon pet, and then directly turn the teleportation ring to specify the teleportation hall in Cairo City. I flicked my fingers and I was stunned for a moment. No response? The teleportation ring seems to have failed, and there is no prompt. I looked down at my hand in surprise and moved the ring again, but still no response. This time I was anxious. He raised his hand in front of his face and moved it again. After a flash of white light, the transmission was successful.

As soon as I came out of the Teleportation Hall in Cairo, I knew why the first two teleportations failed! The reason was right in front of me.

The hugeness of the main teleportation hall in Cairo is the first time I have seen it since entering the game. I always thought that Essinger maintained a leading position in the entire game in the field of architecture, but when I arrived in Egypt, I finally discovered that there were giant buildings even bigger than Essinger's. The area of ​​​​this teleportation hall is almost twenty times the size of the Landlord Essinger's teleportation hall. But even in such a large building, it was crowded with people. Preliminary estimates show that there are at least nearly 100,000 people crowded in this teleportation hall alone, not counting those outside who are planning to enter.

According to the popularity of "Zero", in general developing countries, game users account for slightly less than 20% of the country's population. In developed countries, this number is usually higher. In the United States, it can reach as much as 70%. Similarly, in backward and poor countries, the figure is relatively lower. Calculate based on this probability. The number of players in Egypt should be more than 10 million, and the number of people online at the same time during non-peak hours should not exceed 5 million. Although there are not many cities in Egypt, with five million people, even if urban NPCs are included, it should not be too busy. But the situation in front of me clearly told me that this place was already overcrowded. The reason why I failed to teleport many times just now was because there were too many people here and there was not even a place to insert my feet, so the teleportation ring could not teleport. The last success may have been due to the fact that there just happened to be a space for one person. So I came in. Now that I think about it, it would be better not to come in.

"Don't push me!" A man yelled angrily at another person next to him.

The person who was yelled at also yelled back: "I didn't mean it, why are you so loud? I'm upset because I'm crowded here, be careful I'll kill you."

A disagreement between two people turned into a martial arts performance, but with so many people here, it was impossible to have a real fight. The two people punched each other a few times and were rushed away by the crowd. When I saw a gap in the flow of people, I quickly squeezed through, but found that I seemed to have mistaken my position. Instead, I was pushed closer to the inside of the hall by the flow of people.

Suddenly a Caucasian soldier patted me and asked. "Are you going in or out?"

"Going out. What's wrong?"

The warrior and another knight supported each other's shoulders to create a space, and then a female mage stood up from the middle. "We want you to go out as a team."

"Huh? Form a team?"

"Yes." The female mage nodded: "There are too many people here, and it is difficult for us to leave like this. Since we all have to go out, let's just form a team and use everyone's strength to squeeze out."

faint! People usually form a team to go to the advanced monster area to level up. This is the first time I heard of someone forming a team to leave the Teleportation Hall. But looking at the situation around them, it seems that there is really no other way. Although this teleportation hall is large enough, tens of thousands of people are crowded here, and the lineup is more intimidating than a train station during the peak period of Spring Festival travel. Just one person. If you don't realize it, you will be swept back by the flow of people. Although I am very powerful in combat, these are players and not monsters. It’s better to kill everyone here just to go out!

"Okay." I smiled bitterly and nodded to the female mage. "How do we get out?"

The warrior who called me at the beginning said: "I use the brutal collision skill to open the way in front. As soon as I push through the crowd, you and this Mr. Knight will immediately occupy the position behind me. The mage lady will use magic to strengthen our strength." . During the cooling time of my two uses of skills, the role of the two of you is to ensure that I will not be rushed back by the flow of people. Then I repeatedly use collision to move a little bit towards the door. As long as I get out of the door, it will be easy."

I nodded: "I understand. But can I ask why there are so many people here?"

"Don't you know?" the female mage asked me strangely.

"What do you know?"

The female mage was about to answer when she was interrupted by the warrior next to her. "If you have anything to do, can we talk about it outside? This is not the place for chatting!"

"Excuse me, let's get started!"

In fact, the zenith of this teleportation hall is very high. I considered flying out from above at first, but I decided to give up after seeing another forerunner being pulled down and beaten violently by everyone. In the teleportation hall, you must stand on the ground to teleport. People flying in the air must eventually land here, or occupy a person's position. So flying is equivalent to 'jumping' in line, it would be weird if you don't get beaten! Moreover, in such a chaotic scene, others will not tell whether you are flying in or out. Anyway, anyone who dares to fly after entering the hall will be pulled down and beaten up.

Although the flight was hopeless, our team of four performed well under the cooperation of our team. If the warrior does not turn on the PK mode, collision will knock people away, but it will not cause the system to identify malicious PK. And others will be angry at most, but they won't really fight you. The knight and I were both relatively fast. Every time the warrior knocked through the crowd, the two of us immediately got into position, and then pulled the mage lady in for protection. Speaking of which, this lady's magic is very practical. In addition to strengthening her strength, she can also repel halos, which is perfect for this kind of job of hitting people and clearing the way.

After more than a dozen collisions, we were only a few meters away from the door, but unlike inside the hall, the door was the narrowest location. So moving becomes more difficult. But at this critical moment, the warrior has no magic power. We couldn't even move.

The knight himself took a bottle of magic water to the warrior, and then asked the female mage and me: "Do you still have the magic medicine?"

The female mage shook her head: "I also came back from leveling outside. If I hadn't returned the magic potion, I wouldn't have run back!"

I took out a pill from the small bag hanging on my waist and handed it to the soldier. The soldier picked it up and looked at it: "Just one pill?"

"Damn, this is 8,000 points of holy and demonic blood that accelerates the return of demons. How many more do you want?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly handed the medicine back to me. "At the worst, we'll just have to wait a little longer. This 'medicine' of yours is too expensive!"

The female mage looked at me with straight eyes and asked, "Where did you buy this? How about accelerating the magic recovery speed?"

"My own guild produces land, and you can't buy it outside. After taking it, you can instantly regain 3,000 magic points, and then use 200 magic points per second to regain 4,000 magic points. A total of 8,000 magic points will be restored. And after adding up the 8,000 points, it will be 30 The natural magic regeneration speed doubles within seconds."

The female mage looked at me with almost twinkling eyes and asked, "How many of these things does your guild have? Sell it to me?"

I smiled kindly: "You want me to give you a few pills, it's fine, but I'm embarrassed to buy them. Our own consumption is not enough, so we can't sell them abroad."

"I'm so embarrassed to give you such an expensive 'medicine'! According to the effect comparison of the 'medicine' sold in stores, each pill of your 'medicine' is worth at least five crystal coins. And this 'medicine' of yours is worth at least five crystal coins." It's in the shape of a 'pill', and it's perfect for mages who are not good at carrying weight! I hate having to hang a bunch of blue bottles behind my back every time I go to the battlefield!"

"Can you buy a space pocket? Although it can't fit big things, it can still be used to hold medicines. And they are sold in system stores!"

The soldier was waiting for the magic to be restored while turning around and said: "I knew you were a rich man as soon as I heard it. A magic pocket costs more than five hundred crystal coins. Who among the average players has nothing to do to buy that thing? Usually they are given to someone in a team that has been working together for a long time. Each person is equipped with one. Everyone uses it together. My previous guild also allocated one to my leveling group. Although the storage space of the thing is not large, it is really suitable for holding medicine and food. We carry that thing with us You can practice outside for a whole day without going back to the city."

The female mage said: "There must be no mage in your team."

"How do you know?" The soldier was stunned.

The female mage smiled and said: "Because you said you don't have to go back to the city to replenish supplies in a day, so I guess you don't have a mage. Judging from my consumption, in a general leveling area, if the firepower is fully turned on, one bottle will last every 20 seconds. Xiaolan, even if I put all the magic medicine in that bag, it won't be enough for me to use for a day. So you definitely don't have a mage."

The knight smiled and said: "Our melee department is better. You mages are just burning money. That bag of magic rejuvenating medicine is probably not much cheaper than the space bag itself."

The soldier patted us and said: "The magic power is almost restored, everyone, get ready. You can go out after two more times."

"Okay, let's get started."

As expected, the area at the door was extremely crowded. The soldiers rushed us twice before sending us out of the door. However, the number of people here seemed to be no less than inside. Many people on the street rushed to squeeze in. It wasn't until very far away that the road became slightly sparse. But it was much easier after passing the gate. We just rushed out because we were strong enough.

More than two hundred meters away from the teleportation hall, I could barely walk normally. Although I still bumped into people around me, at least I wouldn't be carried away. Our small team was formed temporarily. Nothing will happen when you come out. The warrior and the knight both left, and only the female mage and I planned to go to a tavern in the city to rest first.

Along the way, I saw people everywhere on the streets. Almost every street in Cairo was full. There are more than 10 million players in Cairo City alone, a number that far exceeds normal standards. After arriving at the tavern, I asked the female mage about it. "Egypt has a total population of over 60 million. Why are there so many people in Cairo?"

The female mage smiled: "It's normal for there to be many people here. People come here for two purposes, either to travel or to hunt for treasures and level up. Egypt itself is a country with a very developed tourism industry, and in-game tourism is The cost is much cheaper. Naturally, there are a lot of travel enthusiasts coming here. And think about it, what is the charm of Egypt’s tourism?”

"Of course the legends about the pyramids and the pharaohs."

"That's right. So there are more tourists inside the game than outside. Think about it! In reality, you have to go to see those shabby pyramids with a high temperature of nearly 40 to 50 degrees. Not only is it sweltering, but there is nothing interesting to see except the pyramids. Something. Moreover, most of the pyramids are not completely open. If you go there, they will only show you part of it. Many places are inaccessible. But it is different in the game. Not to mention the price is cheap, at least that portion The heat is much easier to deal with. Although the Egyptian temperature set in the game is the same as in reality, there are magic cooling items sold in the game. Just buying one and taking it with you is equivalent to having a portable air conditioner. It is much better than in reality It’s much more comfortable to play the Pyramid under the bright sun. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting tanned in the game. Girls generally don’t come to Egypt for this reason. The most important thing is the legends. In reality, you can only Go see the ruins that are damaged and not completely open to the public. Not only can you explore the entire ruins in person in the game, but there are also many mythical monsters inside. Do you think an empty pyramid is more attractive, or a pyramid with many mummies running around? Which pyramid is more attractive?"

"Of course it's the pyramid with the mummies."

"So Egypt's tourism industry in the game is super developed. Even many players who don't play combat professions will go to the ultra-low difficulty pyramid specially opened for tourism to play monster-killing games. The monsters there are all from Egyptian mythology. Things, and they are all set to be very weak, mainly to scare people. If you don't resist, the monster will just keep scaring you. If you resist, the monster will have a certain probability of killing the player. But this only adds to the fun. Players who like adventure will happily hunt for treasures in the pyramids over and over again. Of course, there are also some smart boys who bring their girlfriends and take advantage of the opportunity to eat tofu."

faint! In the past, it was popular to take girls to watch horror movies and take advantage of the class, but now it has become a trend to take girls to play adventure games to take advantage! But speaking of it, such a pyramid is indeed very attractive. In reality, the pyramid is like a zoo without animals, but in the game it is a real zoo. Instead of listening to the tour guide telling you that this is the altar of a certain god. That is the sarcophagus of a certain pharaoh. It would be more interesting to experience standing on the altar to summon the gods, or fighting with the mummy of the pharaoh.

"Tourism won't attract so many people, right?" Although Egypt's tourism industry does have great potential, there are too many people.

"The rest are the second category. People who come to Egypt to level up or hunt for treasures. Like me, I came from the United States. The pyramids in Egypt, the cave water streams in China, the ruins in the rainforests of South America, the Mountains of Gods at the border of France and Germany, These four places are known as equipment concentration camps. As long as you search there, you will be able to find something good. Moreover, the number of monsters in Egypt is large, the experience is high, and the places where they appear are relatively dense. It is very suitable for players with high attack speed to rush in quickly. level. With so many benefits, it naturally attracts a large number of players.”

"Then why were there so many people running towards the teleportation array just now?"

"You really don't know?" the female mage asked me in surprise.

"Should I know?"

The female mage shook her head and said: "You don't look like you are here for travel. If you are a leveler, you should not be so leisurely. So I thought you were here to hunt for treasure. But now listening to your words, it seems that you are not here either. Treasure hunter. But you don’t even know about that, it’s really weird.”

"What's going on?"

"The God's Choice Day happens every two months." The female mage said calmly: "A few days before each God's Choice Day, several gods in Egypt will build an altar in the center of the Death Desert, and then everyone starts looking for this altar. Place. On the Day of God’s Chosen, the Egyptian gods will appear at the altar, and then send out their men for players to challenge. Those who pass the challenge can fight as the Chosen One and the power clones of those main gods. If they win again, they can get Rewarded.”

"Then what exactly is the reward?"

"I don't know about this. It is said that the rewards are not certain, and are determined by the preferences of those gods every time. I think it is equivalent to a random draw. There was once a person who permanently obtained two Click on the basic attribute point, that is the basic attribute point! The more important it becomes in the future. There is also a guy who obtained an artifact. It is said that he can command the Death Army. However, it requires mana to be summoned. All are impossible to summon infinitely. As far as I know, there are only two people who have discovered it and received rewards for passing the test. And they both look good."

"Is it because everyone is in a hurry to find the altar this time?"

The female mage said: "The situation this time is a bit special. Generally, the altar is opened seven days in advance on the God's Choice Day for everyone to find. But this morning, someone actually found the altar and came out with a map to sell it. Everyone who bought the map rushed there Take the test over there and hope you can pass the test and get the prize."

"What a smart guy."

"Who do you think is smart?"

"That person who sells the map. He is said to have business acumen. Regardless of whether the person who buys the map gets the prize or not, the person who sells the map has already got the prize. I just don't know if the information is reliable."

"Absolutely reliable." The female mage said: "I also sold the map and went to see it. The altar is really there, but the time has not arrived and I can't take the test yet. So I practiced and leveled up and then came back. Wait until it starts soon. This time the location is very close to a desert leveling area, so everyone uses the special positioning ability of the national main teleportation array from Cairo to teleport there to participate in the test. Because other teleportation arrays cannot reach the training area. The level area transports people directly, so everyone flocked here, otherwise the teleportation hall would not be so crowded."

I laughed. "That being said, I admire the man selling the map even more. By the way, what's his name? Do you know where he is? I'll have a chat with him."

"His name is Mamos, and he is as thin as a skeleton."

"What?" I jumped up from my seat.
