Chapter 10 (1/2)
Liang Li Dong stayed in the game for 8 years and was also a first tier exponent in the whole server. Although he does not feel that he is powerful, his name regularly shows up in newbie guides posts at forum. Many are positive examples, there is also negative examples, for example that time he got did in by prophecy spell user. As a feudal lord in the game, he used his forces to gather many resources for himself, including more than 80% of magic modeling structural diagrams. He have seen most of the magic modeling structural diagrams but it is the first time seeing the 5 structural diagrams in front of him.
If among the 5 magic modeling structural diagrams, there is 1 or 2 he never seen before, it is common but he has never seen all 5 before, that is a little interesting. Liang Li Dong estimates that this is a group of special-type magic modeling structural diagrams and is not known to the world.
Liang Li Dong’s finger lightly slides across one of the structural diagrams and very quickly finds the first node in the structural diagram. Then he a.n.a.lyses along the line and stuck at the 2nd magic modeling node. This is a modeling node he has never seen before and for the time being, he cannot tell what is the use for it. From the looks of the whole modeling structure, it should be a fire-type magic but the theory for magic activation is very weird and he cannot understand.
Liang Li Dong tries to a.n.a.lyse the other magic modeling structural diagrams too but ends up with the same situation. Whenever he reaches the 2nd node, he cannot continue a.n.a.lyzing anymore. It is obvious that this is a special bloodline-type magic modeling that only specified bloodline is able to learn.
Connected to fire…… Liang Li Dong subconsciously looks at Kyle. Legendary hero Kite – Reed uses a series of fire-element bloodline magic. This little guy really has blood relations with Kite? Of course, this is only a guess. In ‘f.l.a.n.g.e Continent’, legendary characters who uses fire-type bloodline magic is not few since fire-type magic is widely accepted as the number 1 magic in lethality.
Moving his finger from the tablet, Liang Li Dong turns his head and asks: “This secret base, other than the two of you, does any other people know?”
“Just the two of us, that’s why it is a secret base.” Kyle shrugs: “Now there’s also Lord Priest.”
“That’s good, never tell anyone about the weird diagrams here in the future, understand?” Liang Li Dong’s expression is very serious.
Kyle does not understands.
Behring asks out of curiosity: “Why?”
“These are magic modeling structural diagrams and are really special types.” Liang Li Dong waves his hand and extinguishes the small ball of light floating in mid-air. The cave instantly turned pitch dark: “Among the 5 diagrams, the lowest magic is rank 3 and for the highest structural diagram, I estimate it to be rank 6. Just the internal price for it in the Magic Guild is 320 gold coins. You two should be clear how big a figure 320 gold coins is. Together with 4 other magic structural diagrams, the value of this tablet is more than 500 gold coins. If used as bounty, it is enough to hire mercenary to ma.s.sacre the village 10 times.”
Behring is scared beyond words, either by the figure 500 gold coins or the village ma.s.sacre that Liang Li Dong said.
Kyle’s forehead starts perspiring: “Lord Priest, you are just scaring people.”
“I occasionally crack jokes but for important things like this, I’m always very serious.” Liang Li Dong sneers: “Hehe, that’s why I said you guys are pretty lucky to have met me. Players……ehm, G.o.d’s believers like us normally will not kill for a few hundred gold coins. If it is other people…… Then I cannot make promises.”
What Liang Li Dong said is the truth, players are after all people from peaceful times and those that can afford to play VR online games are normally those that have no worries about living expenses and have their own principles for doing things. For example, even if players are interested in the magic on this tablet, they will at most s.n.a.t.c.h the tablet and run. Normally, they will not deliberately kill NPCs. After all, NPCs cannot revive after dying so killing will have a sense of guilt.
But other NPCs are different, when they s.n.a.t.c.h wealth from their kind, they will often kill. In Liang Li Dong’s 8 years in the game, he have seen no less than 100 times where for some wealth or some magic equipment, NPCs kill their kind for the sake of not letting the matter be known. And this is not even a quest scenario but the result of normal real-time generation of world events
That is why ‘f.l.a.n.g.e Continent’ is known as the most real VR game.
Young boy and young girl s.h.i.+vers at the same time, shakes their head together and almost says at the same time: “Lord Priest, we will never ever say anything about here outside.”
“You two do not need to make promises to me…… Anyway, if anything happens, I’m not the one who gets affected.” Liang Li Dong has an indifferent att.i.tude and looks at this pair of depressed childhood friends. He cannot bears it and says: “You two, go get some mud from outside and paste over this tablet, the thicker the better. In the future, even if anyone barge in unwittingly, it is not that easy to discover the abnormality here.”
“We will go now.” Kyle is really scared now. He dashes out the moment he finishes saying that with Behring right behind.
Liang Li Dong shakes his head and pulls over a small chair to sit down. Although the workmans.h.i.+p of these chairs are not that good, it is still quite comfortable for sitting. But he is also quite envious of this 2 little fellows to actually make a secret base. In it, there is basic living amenities. At a corner of the cave, there is a few dust-covered wooden planks which seems to be an unfinished bed.
He has never did such things before, not to mention in 22nd century China there is skysc.r.a.pers and concrete ground everywhere. Finding a wide empty s.p.a.ce with no one around is very difficult and heavy workload from education since primary school, all kinds of tuition cla.s.ses results in very little break time, not to mention making a secret base.
While Liang Li Dong recollects his ‘sad’ childhood, he suddenly frowns. He discovers something not right about this place. The wooden planks stacked in the cave is covered with dust. It is obvious it has been very long since anyone took care of this place for that to happen and Kyle has also said just now that he has not been coming for a few years but the chair Liang Li Dong is sitting on now is reasonably clean. His finger swipes over the tabletop…… No dust, it is also quite clean.
Young boy and young girl come back from outside and are perspiring profusely from running. Their hands are holding on to a big pile of mud. Liang Li Dong sits at a side with his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop. Looking at the two hurriedly pasting mud over the tablet until the shape of the tablet cannot be seen completely.
