The Amber Sword: Second Act Sophie’s World
The second act Sophie's World ()
Although this room is old, it is spotless. The original owner took care of it very cleanly. --
Sophie raises head saw the half of the skull frame pushed down to the ground by himself before, and a pile of white bones were lying there quietly. The counterattack before the death of Brando made these undead scout the only battle damage. Sophie knows that skeleton soldiers really lack wisdom, but the Lich manipulation is very different. The misjudgment has nothing to do with youngster, because Brando does n’t know all of this.
In peacetime, not many know this.
The oil painting cut from it lay flat on the ground, and the cold sword of the skeleton soldier fell not far away. This made Sophie's's eyes slightly retracted. -- Madara seemed decisively intended to launch an attack as soon as scout was evacuated. Even cleaning up the battlefield was avoided.
But it also fits his memory of history.
Well?
Sophie suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes stayed on the cut oil painting. He was right, there was a mezzanine on the plane where the frame was cut.
Wait, ancestral oil painting? Sophie suddenly remembered, is this the famous Bucce's oil painting?
He immediately struggling to walk over the armrest, while listening alertly to the movements around him. Sophie knows that killing Brando's should be an Lich -- of lowest grade. Although it is lowest grade, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
In ‘game', low grade Lich can cast some low grade Black Magic, and also can evoke skeletons and zombies from the nearby cemetery. They are cunning by nature and used to sneak attacks, which is a huge threat to those who do n’t know them.
But Sophie is different, because I'm afraid he knows the other person -- better than the other person.
He buried himself, tore open the frame of the oil painting with both hands, and a ring rolled out from it. At this moment he couldn't help but lightly breathed in, the shape of this ring is too familiar to him: the ring made of silver is slightly glowing in the dark, in addition to the general appearance of a ring, it has a Holy Sigil of the Wind Empress on the central surface.
Such patterns are not common in the south of Aouine.
This is the national emblem -- of the northern Saers
Sophie carefully rubbed the ring with his thumb, this is the reward of the famous Ring of Wind Empress, 'Bucce's oil painting' quest / mission, but then this quest / mission disappeared in the next version, and the person who finally knew and completed this quest / mission And very few.
Sophie is not one of them. He just heard of this story. It is said that this ring is a fake of De Lutte, one of the four Saints. But how can Brando's grandfather have this thing?
The effect of Ring of Wind Empress in game is Agility + 1, and it consumes energy to launch a wind bomb to attack the enemy in front. In game, it absorbs a little energy for ten minutes, but I do n’t know if it is the same here.
He looked at the ring, and for a moment couldn't help jumping in his heart, even forgetting the danger around him. The appearance of this ring confirms his guess from the side, the one he is familiar with in this world Correct.
Sophie can't help vomiting one breath. He feels a little bit upset at the moment, but hesitated a little bit. He still slowly put the ring on the index finger. The -- Magic ring only works if it is worn on the index finger and thumb. In Venser, the area between the index finger and the thumb is called ‘mysterious field’ by witches of Taran. They think that this is the center where the human Mana converges, and most spell gestures have evolved from this as a starting point.
But for Sophie, this is just a subconscious behavior under the constraints of game rules, and nothing more.
‘kuāng dāng --! ’
He was actually working on the ring, but a loud noise came from the first floor and it turned him back suddenly.
Sophie was shocked, and immediately became aware that this might be the sound -- made by undead, but even if it is not, there are enemies that will attract outside. He didn't care about others immediately throwing away the oil painting in his hand, and attached subconsciously draw back to the wall, then stared carefully at the hall below.
He immediately saw a sneaky figure.
That girl in a simple leather long dress carefully touched it from below. She looked left and right, a little nervous -- just didn't pay attention to her head. The girl clutched a masonry hammer -- with both hands and looked a bit strenuous, but looking at her, it seemed like she was looking for something.
Sophie couldn't help sighing.
He coughed, his voice was not loud, but in this empty room it seemed unusually loud --
The girl was startled, she turned back suddenly, her face pale. But to be fair, this girl can be regarded as a beauty, with chestnut-colored long hair curled up behind her head, looks dignified, but the pair of slender eyes under the flat forehead is always charming; the tip of the eyebrow is slightly Picking up, her eyes were clear and flustered, and her nose was straight and straight. At a glance, she knew that she was a very independent person.
She has a unique temperament, but it is definitely not lady. At least you've seen a girl clutching the masonry hammer with both hands, and a girl similar to the cowhide backpack of those merchants in the South, hanging on the leather skirt, you can hardly think that this is an excellent noble young lady.
The girl suddenly saw Sophie, but suddenly relaxed. She grew out of one breath and couldn't help but patted one's own's chest, with a nice smile on her face: "It's you, Brando, it scared me."
"Romaine Young Lady, how did you get in?" Sophie saw the girl and couldn't help getting a headache.
This is the girl that Brando has always admired. She lives in the opposite room with her aunt, and often has some weird dreams, such as thinking about going to the outside world to be a peddler all day.
This idea seems a bit clueless in Sophie. It is not a much respected profession in Aouine peddler. The folks even confuse some of them with scammers and thieves.
For a period of Anson VI reign, these people have been colluding with the outside brigand for a long time. They are disgusted and even called ‘people with two mouths and three hands’.
Two mouths are for being able to speak and being good at deception. The three hands are because the hands and feet are not clean, and they often do things like thieves. It can be said that these people are one of the great threats to local law and order. Eight of ten quest / mission that Sophie did in the novice era are about them.
"I crawled in through the window outside your kitchen, by the way, your window is so small! I almost tore my skirt out of --" The girl complained as she bent down and trimmed the one's own skirt corner.
"No one wants you to come in from there! --!" Adhering to the Brando's memory, Sophie has some immunity to this Young Lady's character already, but still couldn't help but defame it.
"I didn't ask you this," he shook his head, "I'm asking you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I'm worried about you, Brando," Romaine answered and looked around, apparently looking curious: "Did you see that skeleton?"
She saw it too? Sophie noticed that Young Lady's eyes fell on his chest.
"Are you injured?" The future teenage businessman leaned her head and blinked.
"Um ..."
"Look at me," she ran up the stairs with a few steps of her skirt, and held a youngster with her paw to block the wound's hand. "Remove your hand, what will you block, which will infect the wound's --!" girl Complained, looking at the Sophie's wound.
Her breathed in, raises head: "Such a serious injury!"
Sophie felt that the girl was holding one's own hand coldly, her heart could not help but jump slightly. Although he knows that this belongs to the Brando's relationship, he did not deliberately stop --
"it doesn't matter ..."
"it doesn't matter you head!" miss merchant gave him a white look, and then she went through the cowhide backpack hanging on her leather skirt: "You wait, I look like a bandage ..."
Sophie looks at each other with interest.
He knows that the things in backpack of Romaine are all her treasures, and most of them are Brando to buy some weird gadgets with her. Such as sea shells, colored glass beads, copper whistle, ancient coins, etc. Most of these things are worth little money, but they are not very common in this area.
The biggest hobby of this future girl businessman is to scour these babies in a pile of junk. Although both youngster have no money, Romaine can always change her side and buy some rare and cheap things she likes. .
He held down Romaine's and shook his head: "Go inside and look for it, it's too dangerous here."
"I'm not afraid of those bones," she raises head glanced at him, and finally found a first aid box: "Will you bandage, I won't."
Sophie opened the box and took out the bandages and stop the bleeding cotton. He had always wanted to find first-aid supplies, because it was still subconsciously regarded as the world of game. As soon as the bandage in game was hit, it would automatically stop the bleeding and return blood, but he only reacted at this moment. In reality, bandaging is a professional You ca n’t just wrap around the wound casually.
"Brando, should I try it?" Romaine Young Lady looked eagerly.
"Exempt." Sophie hurriedly refused, and life was not so frustrating.
He suddenly felt that dead horses could be treated as a living horse doctor. Anyway, what should be done here in game, and blame God. He tore open one end of the bandage and bit it in his mouth, then untied the clothes, wrapped the bandage around the wound from the inside, and wound the bandage in game. He is also at least an old hand, so the technique is quite skilled, and he carefully avoided Press too tightly.
But he suddenly froze.
He saw a light green number, +1, and slowly emerged from his wound.
At that moment, Sophie's brain was buzzing like a bombshell. for a moment didn't know what next step should do. But immediately he reacted, as if blessed to spirit / mind, chanting in his heart: "Attributes, Attributes, show me!"
He waited with a semi-expectation and fear of losing his wish. After waiting for about a second, a set of faint data emerged in turn on his arms, thighs, joints, body and heart.
Strength 1.0, Agility2.0, Constitution0.9.
Then another set of data floats in his view like Spectre:
Intelligence1.1, Will1.3, Perception1.0.
Absolute power 1.0, element (sealed / uncivilized) --
Under this set of data, the characters and values of rows are falling down like a waterfall, forming a page of illusory stat display:
Brando, human male, level1 (power system: Physical, melee)
XP: 1 (commoner Level 1: —, militia Level 1, 0/3)
Life (weakness): 60% (bandaged status, restore 1 life every day)
Joining --
commoner [Basic Knowledge (Level 1), Geographical Knowledge (Level 0), Local Knowledge (Level 1)]
militia [Military Swordsmanship (Level 1), Fist Fighting Skill (Level 1), Tactical Theory (Level 0), Military Knowledge (Level 0)]
Sure enough, sure enough!
Sophie can't help but think about the mentality of an ordinary person who has five million, is that what he is like now? Is this a dream? Never. He knew that in a dream a person would not have such clear and rigorous logic. Few people would jealous of dreaming in the dream.
Can you still be in game?
No, the history already in game has reached Second Era for nineteen years.
youngster felt that one's own's head was messed up, and his thoughts seemed to flow in all of a sudden, causing him to feel dizzy. But Sophie shook his head, he understood that it was all true! I have seen so many people crossing the novel, he is not the first person to cross the game world, and it is certainly not the last.
Mother Marsha, is your could it be that really existence?
Sophie could not help but pray to heavily, the world ’s only supreme deities. He stared blankly at these virtual data projected on his retina, and could n’t help asking:
Isn't this your world, Sophie? What else do you want?
Yes, as a Veteran Warrior of Level 130+, what else can he ask for? experience, he has. He had the power of the prophet.
If he can't grasp the fate of one's own in this way, then he can be ashamed to death. But then again, it feels good to be confident, really good.
