Chapter 88: The Candle Keeper Witch Appears
“Updated, updated!”
【Enter the game】
[Connecting...]
Gua Gua, who had been waiting for a long time, finally logged into the game. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look around happily.
"What about the new characters? What about the new characters?"
After looking around for a while, Gua Gua's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because, right next to the spirit candle at the entrance of the reef cave, a girl wearing a slim black robe and with clear and firm eyes was standing there quietly, with four azure words on her head.
【Candle Keeper Witch】
"Wow! It's a female character! So pretty!"
Gua Gua was very excited and quickly trotted over to the candle-guarding witch.
Nonia looked at the players appearing one after another in the spirit candle, feeling a little nervous, and her hands unconsciously tightened.
But soon, she recalled Rogge's words, calmed herself down, bowed politely to Guagua in front of her, and spoke softly.
"Respected Candle Spirit Warrior, hello, my name is Nonia, and I am the Candle Keeper Witch of the Spirit Candle. In the coming days, I will help the Candle Keeper handle some simple matters."
[The Candle Keeper Witch can open the Candle Keeper's shop on behalf of the Candle Keeper, and can also ask her some basic questions. If you have important questions, you can find the Candle Keeper through her. 】
[Note that the Candle Keeper Witch is an important plot character just like the Candle Keeper. Please regulate your own game behavior. ]
After taking a look at the game prompt that suddenly popped up, Gua Gua had to give up some of her little thoughts. She had originally wanted to ask the candle-guarding witch if she could give her a hug.
"Nonia? What a nice name!" Guagua loved looking at beautiful women. She looked at Nonia with bright eyes and asked, "Where are you from?"
"I'm also looking for my origins." Nonia responded. Although this trick was taught to her by Rogge, she had indeed forgotten a lot, including her own origins.
"Guagua?" At this time, Li Miao also came online, and then walked over. After taking a curious look at the candle-guarding witch in front of him, his eyes lit up: "Oh, Lingzhu planner finally did something human, what a beautiful NPC!"
With the arrival of Li Miao, more players followed and soon surrounded Nonia.
"Damn, Lingzhu really gave me a wife?"
"Damn it, why is there only one? Give me another one! One for each of us!"
"You bunch of idiots, didn't you see the words 'Candle Keeper Witch' on her head? It's obviously a couple ID, the official wife given to the Candle Keeper."
"I'm jealous!"
"I don't care, if I see her, she's my wife!"
"What's the point of being a candle keeper witch, Miss Nonia? As long as you give the order, we will immediately support you as the new candle keeper!"
"No! The candle keeper is my idol!"
"Then let Nonia go in and sit down, and the Candle Keeper come out and be the wizard!"
"Niu Niu! What are you trying to do with a sword? You want to attack such a beautiful girl? Huh?"
"Nothing, hehe, nothing..."
Niu Niu smiled awkwardly and silently put away his sword.
What does it matter whether it's pretty or not? As long as it can be chopped, why not try to see if it has a health bar?
Niu Niu muttered to himself.
However, given the current situation, forget it. If he takes action, he probably won’t be able to survive in this game...
A group of players were chattering non-stop, already fascinated by Nonya's beautiful appearance. Some even shouted that they wanted to be Nonya's dog.
Faced with their overly enthusiastic appearance, even though Nonia was mentally prepared, she was still a little overwhelmed.
When she heard some of the words from the players, her cheeks turned slightly red, she clenched her hands, and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.
However, at this moment, a player whispered a reminder.
"The candle keeper is coming!"
Upon hearing this, a group of players who were originally thinking of supporting Nonia as the new Candle Keeper suddenly stopped and silently stood behind the other players.
"..."
Rogge glanced at the group of players in front of him and shook his head secretly.
These guys only have 1% wax in them, and the remaining 99% are rebellious.
Fortunately, today is the first day of work for Nonia, the candle-guarding witch. Of course, he can't just sit there and watch, so he came out to remind these players.
"I'm glad to see that you like the new candle-keeping witch so much."
Rogge glanced at several "rebellious" players intentionally or unintentionally.
The latter looked away as if nothing had happened, or whistled, or lowered his head and turned on his toes to hum a little tune.
"Her name is Nonya. She comes from beyond the borders of darkness and wakes up in the prayer chapel at the back."
"She was once a member of this world, but lost many of her memories during her long sleep."
“Now, she’s part of our team, helping us explore further.”
"If you have any questions, you can come to me through her."
"I hope you can be kind and understanding, and not do things that only confused monsters would do."
As he spoke, Roger's gaze fell precisely on Niu Niu in the crowd.
The players around him subconsciously moved away, and in a breath they made a just cut with Niu Niu.
Seeing this, the latter could only look up at the sky and scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Oh my god, how come this candle keeper still remembers it? I was really wrong!"
Niu Niu felt like crying but had no tears.
He had been an outlaw in the game for many years, but today he was publicly executed by an NPC. It was really too shameful.
The players nearby were also gloating.
"Hahaha, the Candle Keeper still remembers it!"
"You're done. The Candle Keeper is a petty NPC..."
"You've offended the Candle Keeper and you want to pretend nothing happened?"
"You're on the monitoring list, Brother Niu."
"Killing me."
"Do you want to chop down the candle-guarding witch?"
A group of spectator players were watching the fun and having a lot of fun.
Fortunately, Rogge looked away after just one glance.
He wasn't doing it for revenge or anything, he just needed a chicken to serve as a warning to others, and Niu Niu, who had a criminal record, was just the right person.
After saying that, Rogge nodded slightly towards Nonia, then turned around and disappeared into the reef cave.
Nonia nodded vigorously in response, and after watching him leave, she readjusted her posture and looked at the group of players.
"Oh my, it's so sweet, I'm eating it~"
"Taking anything will only harm you."
"Damned Candle Keeper, I want to rebel again, are there any brothers who want to join me?"
As soon as Roger left.
This group of players became lively again, just like students who saw their teacher leave.
But this time they didn't chatter non-stop like they did just now, but were a little more serious.
"Nonia, where is the prayer chapel that the candle keeper mentioned?"
"On that lonely island over there."
"Where did this prayer chapel come from? What is its meaning?"
"It comes from the dark border. As for its meaning... it is to pray for the coming of the Lord of Fire."
"Salary owner?"
"Yes……"
Nonia also gradually got into the state. She remained polite and dignified, responding to the players' questions.
Information about the salary master was also revealed to the players at Rogge's instruction.
After all, to be honest, compared to the current Nonia, Rogge trusts the player group more. Of course, it is this group, not individuals. Moreover, there are also some players with strong logical reasoning ability, and they may be able to find the truth before Rogge.
As long as the players know it, the diving Rogue will naturally know it too.
……
As time went by, players' interest in Nonya gradually faded, and they all went to experience new features and kill monsters to level up.
Of course, there were also people who visited the Candlekeeper's shop, but they left after taking a look and seeing that there were no new goods.
The storyteller and the scheming frog stayed for a long time, asked the candle witch many questions, and then went together to the coast of Candlewood Island and went to the prayer chapel. It seemed that they were preparing for the next background analysis video.
In addition, although Niu Niu has become more honest, he is not completely honest.
This guy actually conducted a Turing test on Nonia, intending to test Nonia's intelligence level.
Rogge simply did not translate some of his words. Nonia didn't understand and could only shake her head in confusion. Seeing this, Niu Niu could only leave in disappointment.
"Forget it. It looks good at first glance, but it's actually not very smart. It's boring."
Nonia also felt that Niu Niu was very strange.
But she didn't care, because she had met so many strange players today that she was used to it.
In addition to the most anticipated Candlekeeper Witch, other features of this update also caused a lot of discussion among players.
"My eyes are filled with tears. We, the candle people, are finally no longer soluble in water. We have finally stood up!"
"I am crying my eyes out. The Frogman Zhuling has been epically weakened. What the hell is this game for?"
"That can't be said. The Frogman Candle Spirit still has its unique advantages. Not only is it stupid, but its points are also uneven! Hahaha..."
From the player's perspective, the human Candle Spirit can now go into the water, which is indeed an epic weakening of the frogman Candle Spirit.
But jokes aside, the frogman Zhu Ling still has his own advantages. The first is diving. Not only can he hold his breath for a long time, but he can also move quickly.
Moreover, through the attempts of the players, it was discovered that the higher the physical fitness of the frogman Zhu Ling, the longer the breath holding time will be, and the faster the underwater movement speed will be.
But human candle spirits do not have this advantage.
For example, if you add 1 point to Constitution, the combat power of the human candle spirit will be increased by 1, and the breath holding time will be increased by 0.5, and the underwater movement speed will be increased by 0.5.
The frogman Zhu Ling has combat power +1, breath holding time +1.5, and underwater movement speed +1.5.
Of course, this is just an analogy. Current players are not so free to test this specifically, and they still have a lot to do.
"Oh my god, it takes 40 wax oil to upgrade... Is this spirit candle afraid that we won't be able to spend our game coins?"
"I just activated the Sin Forge and thought I could take a break, but now I have to be a jailer again."
"No, let's open a recharge channel. I feel a little pain in my liver..."
The upgrade of the Spirit Fire Port naturally attracted the attention of many players, but when they saw the amount of wax required for the upgrade, they were upset again.
How does this game find ways to get their wax?
Although this doesn't cost any money, but... it's really unbearable for my liver!
Even if you are a jailer, you still have to use weapons to hack and slash and go up and down the ladders to backstab the monsters. It is impossible for you to just stand there and let the wax go into your pocket.
"I'll try."
However, there are also old players who still have plenty of money in their pockets.
For example, Brother Mangzi.
After he paid the wax oil, the spirit fire raft quickly turned into a wax-white boat right under his eyes, which looked quite delicate.
"It can still restore blood!"
Brother Mangzi was a little surprised, because the Spirit Fire Raft didn't have this function before. If they wanted to recover their health, they had to run back and forth, and they had to be next to the spirit candle to replenish the wax blocks.
“This must be bought!”
The other players who saw this scene could only grit their teeth and continue to remove the liver wax oil.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if you’re a little tired. Lingzhu didn’t even ask you for a penny. You only need to work hard to become stronger. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Isn’t this much better than a boss who promises you a lot?
So, the players continued to go to the Exile Island and became jailers in the prison.
And in the distance, he was next to the spirit candle.
[Do you want to consume 200 wax oils to reshape the body of the candle spirit? ]
That’s right, Yuanfang plans to reshape his body.
Originally, he had no idea about it for the time being, because the Drowned Flower looked pretty good to him. Although it moved slowly in the water, it was still able to move.
The most important significance is that it can avoid the major defect of death at sea.
But now after this major update, the defect that human candle spirits cannot go into the water has been basically fixed, and they can stay in the water for a long time.
In this case, the disadvantages of the Drowned Flower will outweigh its advantages.
Because Yuanfang is a swift mage, his movement speed is slow on the sea after transforming into the Drowned Flower, which is an obvious restriction on land.
This forced Yuanfang to reshape his body and reselect a special war task.
【Yes】
Yuanfang is very decisive and he basically never hesitates once he makes a decision.
As the power of the spiritual candle attached itself to him, his consciousness in the distance gradually returned to the interface where he had originally selected the character.
[200 wax oils have been consumed, and the body is being reshaped...]
[Your Fire of War·Drowning Flower has been extinguished, and the level has returned to level 1. You can redistribute the attributes of levels 1 to 10. You can continue to distribute the remaining attribute points after igniting the fire of war. ]
He took a look at the bloodline interface and found that if he wanted to select a new bloodline, he would have to consume more wax oil.
He certainly had no intention of changing his bloodline.
After adding points to his agility and spirit, he quickly returned to his body again.
After using the limited wax to ignite the war flames, the special fire of the Iron-faced Warlock was directly ignited in the distance, and the degree of compatibility reached 100%.
[The fire was started successfully! ]
[War has been changed to: Iron-faced Warlock]
[Your Agility +2, Spirit +5]
[New talent "Gift of the Law", new skill "Execution Pace"]
[Your body has changed due to the war, your agility has increased slightly, and your spirit has increased moderately.
【…】
After a moment, the body in the distance became taller and more slender.
Then he checked his messages.
【Poetry and Distance】
[Rank: Embers]
【Level: 17】
【War: Iron-masked Warlock】
[Ability value: ...]
[Talent: Diligence, Gift of Law]
[Ability: Dodge, restore wax blocks]
[Skills: Bone Fork Throwing, Hide, Ghost Claw, Bloodstone Explosion, Execution Knife, Execution Step]
He also has to forget two skills.
Because these days he also got the two spells [Weilü Small Sword] and [Law Shelter] on the Guraid warship.
This also made them realize one thing: the drops from the bosses on the big maps are relatively random.
Then they have to continue to farm the Gulard warship, because they don’t know whether the Iron-faced Warlock will drop other equipment.
He retracted his gaze, allocated the remaining attribute points, and then stood up in the distance. His tall and straight figure and the iron-faced warlock's evening dress gave him a cold and murderous aura.
It seems that the only difference between him and the Iron-masked Warlock is the iron mask.
But... although he doesn't have an iron mask, he has an iron helmet!
Thinking of this, he silently put on his helmet and ghost cloak...
Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
