Chapter 148 Fire Witch
Chapter 148 Fire Witch
Hearing this, Nonia fell silent.
Roger didn't say anything either, he was waiting for Nonia's answer.
"...Mr. Roger, I said I will do my best to help you..."
"And this may be one of the few things I can really do to help you."
“So, no matter what the cost, I’m willing to do it.”
"...Please allow me."
There was determination in her eyes.
She did not answer Rogge's question directly, but the cost of doing so was self-evident.
In this regard.
Roger just looked at her calmly and refused flatly.
"No."
"There is definitely more than one way to the Fire Temple, and I don't need anyone to sacrifice for it."
Hearing Roger's decisive refusal, Nonia pursed her lips, but still did not give up completely: "My soul should be able to pray many times... This is totally worth it, Mr. Roger..."
It turned out to be a prayer to sacrifice the soul...
"Tell me what the prayer is about." Roger ignored her thoughts and instead focused on the prayer itself.
"..." After a moment of silence, Nonia spoke out the content of the prayer. At the end, she shook her head slightly and said, "...This prayer cannot be replaced by any other method."
Of course she knew that a kind-hearted person like Rogge would not easily allow her to be sacrificed, but she also knew that if she didn't do so, it would be almost impossible for her to sense the Fire Temple directly.
"..."
Roger ignored the silly witch's advice.
He began to concentrate on using the power of the spiritual candle to analyze the logic and usage of this prayer.
Every once in a while, after getting feedback from the spirit candle, Rogge narrowed his eyes slightly.
I see……
The prayer that Nonia wants to use is called [Song of the Return of the Soul Fire].
The underlying operating logic is to consume specific souls as fuel sacrifices, and then find the destination through the existing connections.
In other words, the souls of witches like Nonia have a connection with the Fire Temple and all other important places from the very beginning.
Therefore, after burning the soul, one can find a way out of the chaos.
Witch, use your soul as a beacon to guide you in the dark sea...
So, this prayer is specific.
It can only be used by witches.
Likewise, only the soul of the burning witch can point to places with connections.
The process of burning the soul is irreversible.
Even if she lost her memory like Nonia did before, it was just a manifestation of her "soul power" becoming weaker due to the influence of time.
Just like a person who does not eat for a long time becomes weak and loses muscle and physical strength.
It manifests itself in the soul as amnesia and forgetfulness.
This can be repaired and nurtured.
But burning a soul, like amputation, is irreversible.
This……
Why is it designed like this?
Could it be that these witches with daggers were originally trained to serve as guiding "lights"?
So can we assume that the person behind the scenes created the existence of witches for this moment?
Did it (Him) know in advance that the world was about to enter chaos and destruction?
Or is this all just a coincidence...?
Rogge narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly connected more suspicious points from the details.
"Mr. Roger..." Looking at his expression, Nonia shook her head: "If it only burns once or twice..."
"Do not talk."
Roger frowned and looked at her. He was still thinking when Nonia interrupted him.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Nonia closed her mouth silently, and her white and tender hands subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, like a child who had done something wrong.
But Roger reacted quickly.
But he did not feel sorry for Nonia. Instead, he asked her seriously about what he had just thought.
"How much of your memory have recovered? The witch's origin, name, what you saw and heard, tell me everything you remember..." said Rogge.
Seeing that Rogge didn't seem to be angry with her, Nonia felt as if a huge stone had fallen from her heart and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she returned to her previous attitude and carefully explained her previous memories to Rogge.
……
The witch, to be precise, is a fire witch, not a dagger witch.
Every witch in the Fire Temple is sent to the world by the "Gray Mother" in the Fire Temple, and is carefully selected starting with pregnant women.
After the Fire Witch is born, she will be taught by the Gray Mother and study the knowledge of the burning earth and the world, pray, predict the fire, etc. in the Fire Temple...
After receiving the revelation from the temple, the Fire Witch will set out to find the Lord of Fire who can revive the world.
They need to endure loneliness, suffering, and even face death during the long journey.
After some witches lost their ability to search for various reasons, they built chapels to pray for the coming of the Lord of Fire...
As a result, the Fire Witch's footprints spread throughout the Burning Land and even the Endless Sea outside.
But even though the journey has been so arduous, these witches have not yet found the prophesied salary owner.
Otherwise the world wouldn't be broken.
And Nonia is one of them.
After a revelation and a period of travel, she sailed away from the Burning Land.
Along the way, she saw many wars, sufferings, crimes and tragedies.
The world...seems to be getting worse and worse.
She became more anxious, yet felt deeply powerless.
Finally, she stopped on an island.
And on this island, someone built a chapel.
She stopped praying and tried to contact the Gray Mother of the Fire Temple through prayer, asking her to answer her confusion.
However, what he got was only a power that did not belong to the Fire Temple, and... a strong gravitational force on the dagger...
……
"This is the general process." After that, Nonya folded her hands in front of her and said softly, "You may not be interested in other things during the journey, so I won't say more."
"No, I'm interested."
Rogge simply shook his head in denial.
"But I don't have time now. Please tell me in detail later."
"...Okay, Mr. Roger." Nonia was stunned for a moment when she heard that, then she couldn't help but smile and nodded in response.
At this time, Rogge had used the power of the spiritual candle to transform into paper and pen, and wrote down the key points on them.
"I will find a way to find the Fire Temple." Rogge put the written paper into the Spirit Candle Space and said to Nonia, "You are not allowed to use this soul-burning prayer."
"Just summarize the prayers you recall recently and give them to me."
As a qualified fire witch, Nonia has practiced a lot of prayers. Except for some special ones, most of the prayers should be able to be used by players.
Hearing this, Nonia pursed her lips slightly and nodded gently.
……
"I'm talking to Lao Yu."
"It's not like you can't afford the new Spirit Fire Sail, so why not buy it? How many fish can you catch with this net? Won't it be more than what you've been fishing one by one?"
In the No. 1 Sea Area, Lao Yan and Brother Yu were sitting on the Spirit Fire Boat together, and said helplessly, "No, is it still called fishing if you cast a net?" Brother Yu shook his head stubbornly.
"Then buy the boat first and let me catch some nets for fun."
"No, there's no wax."
"What? Then what did you do with all that wax?"
"Upgrade, improve talents, and strengthen abilities."
"Oh." Hearing Brother Yu's words, Old Yan immediately became interested: "Let me see how it's upgraded."
Hearing this, Brother Yu didn't waste any time and sent him his message in the chat box.
[The fisherman who never flies empty-handed]
[Grade: Burning Charcoal]
【Level: 32】
【War: Knights of Law】
[Ability value: ...]
[Talent: Proof of the Law, Piercing Smash (A charged attack that reaches the standard will carry the same amount of penetrating damage)]
[Abilities: Dodge (70%), Restore Wax Blocks (5), Block, Critical Hit, Candlelight Bone Whistle]
[Skills: Spinning Axe, Strength Spell, Gurad Smash, Crescent Moon Sword Qi, Law Oath, King's War Cry]
"Level 32, slag quality talent, but without any attributes... I saw on the forums that this talent is very rare, and it has a very strong effect without adding any attributes..."
"And my dodge, critical hit, and blocking abilities are all at their maximum..."
"Tsk, tsk, how much wax does this cost?"
"Good boy, and you still say you didn't play seriously? Are you going to lie to me and say you caught it by fishing? Nonsense." Old Yan couldn't help but teasing.
"..."
Hearing this, Brother Yu was not embarrassed and scratched his face: "It's because the probability of fishing was problematic before... We can't return empty-handed, so we went into the water to get some other things, incidentally, incidentally..."
There is something wrong with the fishing probability...
He was still being stubborn, and Old Yan couldn't help wanting to laugh.
"It's on the forum announcement. There was a problem with the probability before! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Seeing that he didn't say anything and just smiled, Brother Yu became a little anxious.
"Okay, okay, there's a problem with the probability. I understand, I understand." Old Yan waved his hand.
"Since you don't want to buy the Spirit Fire Sail, can you take me to fight monsters? My level is too low."
"We'll deal with that mess after we finish fishing."
乱七八糟的… …
“……” Old Yan was speechless. This guy is really not a human being.
After this period of play.
Lao Yan finally discovered that the main gameplay of this game is combat and exploration, and it is also quite playable.
Fishing can only be said to be a small way of playing and a way to assist exploration.
But Brother Yu did the opposite. He regarded fighting and exploration as secondary and focused on fishing...
But the outrageous thing is that Lao Yu’s “main business” can’t be said to be thriving, but it can be said to be a mess.
But he can be so strong just by doing his side job...
Old Yan is really hard to understand.
But there is no way, after all he is my old friend.
Thinking of this, Lao Yan could only roll his eyes and sit down to fish honestly.
However, just as he was fiddling with the bait, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
At this moment, Brother Yu's eyes lit up.
"... Lao Yu, Lao Yu!" Lao Yan squinted his eyes and patted Brother Yu's shoulder, saying uncertainly, "Is there a boat heading towards us over there?"
"Don't bother, I've taken the bait!"
Brother Yu slapped his hand away, stared at the sea intently, and started to reel in his fishing rod with excitement.
But right now.
The flying tiles came at us at a high speed like flying blades.
Boom!
After a slight sound, Brother Yu watched his fishing line being cut directly. The big black fish that was close at hand struggled on the sea for a moment and then quickly escaped and sank into the deep sea.
"..."
Brother Yu stopped holding the fishing rod with his hands, and his excited expression froze instantly, replaced by throbbing veins...
"Old fish, stop fishing!" Old Yan was anxious: "It's the salary-stealing guy mentioned on the forum..."
Before he could finish his words, several flying tiles pierced through his body, and Old Yan turned into a handful of wax ashes on the spot.
"Oh no!" Old Yan's wandering soul could see more clearly on the boat that the person opposite was indeed the clay jar man mentioned in the forum.
Some players have tried a lot of tricks before but still failed to defeat it, and if they are killed by it, there is a heavy death penalty and a particularly long reshaping time.
"Old Fish, run away!"
Lao Yu's equipment is not cheap. If he gets killed by the Wage Stealer, he will lose everything!
Thinking of this, Lao Yan quickly looked down, wanting to remind Brother Yu.
But when he turned his eyes to the sea below, he suddenly discovered that Brother Yu had already abandoned the Spirit Fire Boat and jumped into the sea with a splash.
He seemed to be looking for something.
"Lao Yu, are you fucking crazy? Run!" Lao Yan's eyes widened, not knowing what Brother Yu was doing.
But Brother Yu is still diving in the sea, desperately looking for something.
The salary grabbers in the distance were getting closer and closer.
"……"It seemed that because Brother Yu was in the sea, the clay jar man did not hit Brother Yu on the head nor did he tell Brother Yu his true feelings. Instead, he directly summoned out several tentacles in the jar and attacked Brother Yu in the sea.
Finished!
Seeing this, Lao Yan sighed.
I don't know what's wrong with this old fish. He doesn't even run away when the salary-stealer comes...
Thinking of this, he shook his head and prepared to wait for Brother Yu's wandering soul to rise up so that they could return together.
however……
After nearly a minute had passed, Lao Yan still hadn't seen Brother Yu's soul ascend to heaven.
And there seemed to be some strange movements in the dark sea.
"What is this kid doing?" Old Yan couldn't help but mutter.
He wanted to see more clearly, but the gravitational pull of the spirit candle became stronger and stronger.
There was no choice but to stare at the sea while being pulled back.
Just before his vision was about to be covered by the border of darkness.
With a loud splash, a huge tentacles in a jar suddenly floated up from the sea without any warning, the jar shattered, the body torn into pieces, strange blood floating in the sea...
The second and the third followed closely behind!
"Old Fish..."
Lao Yan opened his eyes wide, but his vision was soon covered by a dark border.
"Hey, don't block me, it's so damn unlucky!"
Old Yan slapped his thigh in anger.
Then he quickly started running towards the milestone spirit candle, trying to get back as quickly as possible.
Killed by the salary robber?
What is there to be afraid of? He is at a low level now and has nothing on him. If he dies, he dies.
But he must see with his own eyes what this guy Lao Yu can do!
I have been lazy for two days, now I feel comfortable. I will start working hard again tomorrow!
