Stray Chapter 1: Influence and change
"Excalibur"——
is not a man-made weapon, but a divine weapon forged from a planet. It is a sword that stands at the apex in the category of holy swords, and is regarded as the most powerful and noble holy sword that symbolizes King Arthur.
Using people's beliefs as raw materials, it crystallizes inside the planet as the "strongest fantasy", by converting the bearer's magic power into light, and then releasing it from the tip of the downward swinging sword like a beam of light destroy everything.
is classified as a "Noble Phantasm against the City" because of its size and destructive power, which means that even a solid structure like a city can be directly blasted away...
Moreover, just as Artoria has transcended the concept of Heroic Spirit, the holy swords and holy spears she holds naturally transcend the concept of Noble Phantasm, and it is no longer a so-called "dignified" fantasy".
So, it's not like the propaganda that the goods are not right, and it doesn't match the real machine demonstration at all.
Her holy sword can really scorch the earth, and the power of the holy spear can really penetrate the earth's crust and nail the surface of the planet...
Therefore, with such a close face and swearing each other, Xia Ran won't say anything, it doesn't hurt or itches, he has the feeling of being punched directly by someone, and then there is a flower in front of him. , the world is spinning...
Oh, it was mainly because Artoria, who was out of anger, slammed the Holy Sword of Liberation at him, but she still felt disgusted, so she stepped forward and started directly, grabbed his arm and shoulder in turn, and gave it to him. A solid over-the-shoulder fall!
—Boom!
"Master! I'm going to the market now!"
looked down at the master lying on the ground, and found that he was blinking innocently. The blonde girl was holding the golden sword in one hand and clenched her fist tightly in the other hand. , the knuckles were pinched so hard that they turned white.
She just got really angry and lost her mind.
The expression under the bangs was gloomy. The girl glanced up and down her master, her emerald green eyes flashed dangerously, and the holy sword clenched in her right hand couldn't help but lift it up. Some, as if looking for a place to put a knife on him.
But in the end, the girl put away the sword of oath of victory rationally, snorted angrily, dropped such a sentence, turned around and left the huge platform square.
"Tsk tsk, the little girl's temper is so grumpy..."
The magician sat up from the platform and smiled. He stood up and tidied up his clothes. He found that the black wizard's same robe had burnt and black damage marks, and there were several places.
must have been burned by the torrent of light waves that burned everything and ran fast just now. It can be seen that Artoria was really angry just now.
He didn't care either, he just watched the girl's hurrying figure slamming out of the door. Facts have proved that as long as he wants to divert his attention, he will not fail. The previous things were forgotten.
The magician walked leisurely towards the two doors in the center of the platform. Arturia just opened the door on the left and entered the public area.
This is also a practice. Since it is back, then you have to go to the market. Maybe you will get something suitable for you to strengthen or equip items. After all, you have to spend points to get real meaning.
If is bad, at least I can inquire about the information and confirm the recent specific trends in space.
Considering some rumors in the past, although it is not too accurate, it is not groundless. Xia Ran can probably imagine that the situation like herself and Arturia is definitely not the only one.
There must be some small teams or large teams. Once all members were at the same level, they were just lost, but with the passage of time, the number of dungeons experienced gradually increased, and unevenness will definitely appear gradually.
Some people have made great strides in their strength. Maybe after a few worlds, they have turned into people who are close to gods, or even truly sacred in the upper world.
At that time, although the space would limit the existence of this level, it seems that Xia Ran can no longer enter the public area, but the team itself has not been split... This will cause some lost people to not count themselves. Too strong, but able to know something about the upper realm.
Because it is very likely that his teammate is a real superior...
This is also why ordinary lost people can sometimes know some news about the upper realm. The two classes are not absolutely isolated, and they still maintain some contact.
"Speaking of Artoria...she should not be able to go to the normal area soon."
Looking at the lonely wooden door on the left, the magician thought for a while, and felt that purely by standard, the strength of the knight girl has indeed reached that threshold, but the key is to intercept the shadow of the holy spear and give it to her. The magic dress made.
And she has not completely grasped the full power of the Holy Lance, but only controlled a part of it, gradually accommodating and assimilating the divinity of the Holy Lance Lengomiad...
If she can also perfectly grasp the power of the holy spear by abandoning the equipment and props and other external objects, then the space will probably truly judge that she has also entered the demigod realm... As for now, it is still a little short.
did not tangle too much, the magician directly opened the door on the right and stepped in.
The next moment, he had already appeared in a mysterious and simple rotunda that was built in an unknown space.
Around the huge round table in the center, there are stone seats that are exactly the same, forming a circle, and each seat is solidified with a different phantom... …
Xia Ran looked around and found that the hall was not full before, but now projections have appeared on the forty-nine seats. Although most of them are just phantoms rather than entities, it also shows that there are people in every seat.
Obviously, there were still some vacancies before, which means that during the period of your last mission, the number of demigods promoted in the space has made up for the insufficient amount in this area?
This kind of terrifying speed really makes people feel...indescribable.
The magician couldn't help but wonder, how huge is the real size of the space now? Perhaps it will not be much inferior to the Western Paradise of Elysium that he glimpsed in the near future?
The latter is a pure land of Buddhism that spans hundreds of millions of kalpas. Among them are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as many as the sands of the Ganges. They have existed for a longer time than the ordinary universe.
As for the white space... Well, it's hard to say, the qualifications should be relatively low-level rising stars, but I can't help the lost Lu Ziye, the number naturally increases very fast, this is not comparable to the Western world.
"Ha, new face, what's the name of this gentleman..."
A deep voice came, Xia Ran looked up, and was silent for a while.
The physical figure floating on the seat is not a conventional human shape, but a huge sphere with a **** mouth full of fangs, and a huge eyeball in the center. There are more than ten small eyeballs connected to the branches, extending outward from the top of the sphere.
Beholder...
Although he knows this is normal, the magician still thinks it's a little weird. Is there really a colleague who lets himself go like this?
But Xia Ran is not a person who judges people by their appearance, and will not treat others differently because of the difference in appearance and appearance. After all, he has always treated everyone sincerely and equally, so he nodded and replied:
"It's easy to talk, my name is Chu Xuan."
“…”
“…”
The beholder suddenly fell into contemplation: "Well... strange, why is this name so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere..."
"Oh, maybe it's your illusion, and it's not that the name is so rare, it's not surprising to hear it before... By the way, brother, what do you call it?" Xia Ran nodded, said casually, and looked at it by the way. After a while, I found that the hall today is still as empty as ever.
Only this colleague who released himself and chose the life form of the beholder, the other seats are only dim shadows, just like the gray portrait frames displayed on the chat software, which are no longer bright, Indicates that the party is currently offline.
This made the magician a little disappointed, but it was an improvement compared to when no one could see it before. He originally thought that this time, he might have staggered their respective online times again, so that no one would come.
Hey, wait, something doesn't seem right...
Thinking of Xia Ran here, he glanced at the huge beholder without a trace, and silently deleted the thought just now.
It seems that he is also a "person" this time and has never met...
"Oh, you can just call me Doug Iger." The beholder thought about it and felt that it was the same thing, so he didn't bother, and said his name very freely, perhaps using pseudonym.
"Dog Dan?" Xia Ran frowned.
“…”
“…”
"You should just call me Doug." The beholder was silent for a while, and took the initiative to change the subject first, "Speaking of which, Chu Xuan, you are the first person I have met here, so you can talk to me. something here?"
"Alright..." The magician nodded, then looked straight, "Speaking of this, you really asked the right person..."
The beholder shakes a few times, and it looks like it is nodding. If it is a person, maybe it is sitting upright now subconsciously, ready to listen to the experience of life.
"In fact, you are also the first person I met. Every time I came here before, it was empty!"
“…”
“…”
In the empty assembly hall, the two sides were silent for a while, staring at each other.
"Well, it seems that this new area was established not long ago, and everyone hasn't reached a new consensus, so let's form new rules..." The beholder sighed helplessly, "It can only be like this for the time being. ."
"Maybe..."
Xia Ran replied casually, her eyes had swept across the entire round table, and found that the position in front of each seat was temporarily updated by other people. The familiar and impressive items Everything has disappeared.
is replaced by a new batch of collections, which seem to have different categories and styles. They seem to be conceptual products from different worlds and systems, ranging from various high-tech mechanical equipment to styles. Simple cold weapons, many scrolls, talismans...
Zero, zero, total, endless.
The only thing in common with is that it is very advanced. Almost all of them emit a golden light. Although the number of legendary items and equipment is relatively rare, it is not without them.
"Quantum Vice Brain"...
"The Tenth Complete Cultivation Method of "Huntian Treasure Mirror""...
"Kryptonian blood"...
"Scranton Reality Anchor"...
…………
There are really all kinds of monsters and monsters. The magician breathed softly. He even saw the classic "Any Door" in it. It was obviously from the world of the Blue Fatty series, and he didn't know who that person was. Unlucky or lucky, to be able to enter that kind of world.
It's just that since he can successfully return safely and bring back that fantastic technological props, he must have gained a lot.
"Are you looking to buy something?" The beholder noticed Xia Ran's subtle movements, so he asked enthusiastically, "I think you have strong magic power, so it should be a strengthening route for mages, right? , do you want to see my stuff?"
Having said that, it seemed like a self-recommendation, protruding a dozen tentacle-like eye stems from the root under the eyeball, holding up cards one by one, and projecting the information inside.
This scene is somewhat curious, Xia Ran couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he still controlled his expression very well, and asked with interest: "Dog... Doug, do you have anything good? ?"
"This is the Infinity Gauntlet, the one used to control the carrier that serves as the Infinity Stone... Of course, there are only gloves, no gems, and it's the mass production of a new version of Iron Man's nanotechnology replica..."
"Cough, this is mainly because the original gloves were used to destroy the Infinity Stones and were scrapped, so this is the only one... But the material itself is still very good! It can still carry the Infinity Stones, one of my previous spells My teammates used this thing to replace the fire of the spell, the effect is not known how good it is..."
The beholder introduced it very enthusiastically, with a higher tone.
"Also! Look at this, the time flail! This is also a real artifact. I spent a lot of effort to collect them again, but it was a pity that I found out later that I didn't even have one. This weapon is not for a lifeform like me..."
Speaking of the back, its tone suddenly became low, as if it was annoyed by its own mistakes.
“…”
“…”
"No, thank you..." Xia Ran glanced at the two pieces of equipment that were more violent than the other, and sighed helplessly, "You said I was a mage, why did you recommend this to me? something?"
"Right? Is there any problem?" the beholder asked suspiciously. "Isn't that the style of the Master's painting?"
"Okay, I'm actually a warrior, can you recommend some spells and rituals related to the professional counterparts?"
The beholder was silent for a while, as if his mind didn't turn around, and after a few seconds he waved an eye stem tentacle: "Uh, in this case, do you want the Book of Nagash? Although I only have a rubbing here, It's still a scrap, but the knowledge in it should still be very valuable..."
"And this, I just experienced the practice of a dangerous world, although only the first four volumes..."
This is...
The magician narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes locked on the latter's card, and he had a strange premonition inexplicably.
"Show me, can I inspect the goods?"
"Huh? You're interested, okay, here you go..." The beholder was stunned for a moment, but immediately handed over the second card.
The magician quickly read the open information on the card. Although he hasn't bought it yet, it's not his thing, so the space is blocked, but it's just a small amount of information in front of it that is revealed. Part of the information is enough for him to make a judgment.
Isn't this what he meows the Taoism that he passed down in the world of fairy swords?
Although it seems to be more complete and complete than when I first taught Taoism, the basic core concepts and ideas are the same...
Xia Ran fell into contemplation. Could it be because of the flow of time?
"That, that, Chu, Chu... uh, what's your name?" Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, the beholder thought that the other party was dissatisfied, so he opened his mouth and wanted to sell it, but for a while Can't remember the other person's name.
"My name is Zheng Zha." Xia Ran shook her head and said softly.
"...how does it feel like the pronunciation is completely different, are you really called this name?" The beholder felt that something was not quite right.
