The Age of Machines

Chapter 796 Elf
The so-called autonomous NPC.

In fact, it can be seen even more in the flourishing age after several updates.What they encountered today should be a high-level NPC that exists so far, but is not popular.In this game, some NPCs are fixed in design, such as the guides of events, and the NPCs of various dungeon missions. Their existence will not change for thousands of years, and their positions will not move.This is what players call a low-intelligence NPC.Intermediate-level NPCs can have normal conversations with players, but most of them cannot walk normally, that is, they are still at a fixed point to provide services for players.Among the high-level NPCs, there are also high and low intelligence.But they have a similar point, that is, they can walk without fixed points through their own thoughts.

They are mixed in the crowd of players and it is difficult to be found.They will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with players and chat with players, but they will not easily give tasks.The tasks on this kind of NPC, one is triggered by the player himself with the task item, and the other is by the eye.

The so-called eye edge is actually the level of charm or luck for players.

There is still a type of NPC in the game today.With my own thoughts, just like the players, like the experiencers of this game, live freely in this world.

Players may also befriend him as a player.It sounds ridiculous, but it does exist.Shengshi Company is creating a perfect virtual world.

Beixi knew how hot the late prosperity was.Now entering the mid-term, it is also about to enter the golden age.In the next few years, this game will become bigger and bigger.

Generally speaking, NPCs with high intelligence have both good intentions and malicious intentions.And the setting of their NPC is very peculiar.They have their own behavioral purpose, they will kill wild monsters to obtain weapons.They will also enter the store to purchase various props and supply resources.And they have too many sources of money, and some even trade with players.

Beixi and the others don't know if they are meeting an NPC with good intentions.If it is a malicious NPC, then there will definitely be a fight later.This is very difficult to deal with.Judging from the posts about this kind of NPC sent by some players on the official website.

MPCs also have health, levels, weapons, skills, and more.And their data cannot be viewed as strange.Generally, the player data on the current leaderboard is used as a benchmark...

To put it bluntly, even the player's technology can be copied.

Everything went wrong from the moment Lollipop got the key.Of course, they didn't think about it at first, they just thought that Tangtang had encountered a strange thing.Later, after the meeting, Lollipop mentioned the origin of the key, and Beixi and the others more or less noticed the sign.

Now that Goulds is getting deeper and deeper, some hidden secrets have gradually surfaced.

Both of them had their own thoughts when they talked about this matter, and they didn't stop along the way, and they arrived at the destination of this trip unconsciously while talking.Vines! The large vines that run through the area wind their way up into the sky.The sky was gloomy, covered by dark clouds and the enchantment was causing trouble. The two of them had no idea what was in the place where the vine stretched up.

As for the current situation, Beixi and Weishengmo were quite puzzled.The two are facing each other five or six meters away is the root of the vine.Rooted in the center of a huge magic circle, the stars are turning, but not emitting light.Near the root of the vine, a lot of branches spread out to the surroundings. The branches are thick and thick, and this spread seems to be a monster entrenched here.

"Go and have a look."

Weishengmo and Beixi easily jumped onto the thick branches, took two steps, landed on the ground, and continued to move forward. After climbing over several branches, they finally reached the center of the magic circle, which is the entire huge at the root of the cane.

Weishengmo and Beixi looked at the place where the vine took root.

Unexpectedly, there is a small magic circle in the huge magic circle.This kind of double magic circle is hard to see now, and it needs huge magic power to support the operation of the magic circle.

But judging from the current situation, the magic circle should have stopped functioning.It's just that this vine doesn't need magic power to maintain it?
Beixi squatted down, stared at the magic circle and began to study it.Wei Shengmo walked aside to look for other clues.After watching for about a minute, Bei Xi rubbed his chin and began to mutter: "This is [Snooker]."

"what?"

Wei Shengmo turned around again at some point. "What is [Snooker]?" He couldn't understand the magic circle.Well, in fact, this is the first time, he can't figure out the structure of this magic circle.He has never been in contact with this kind of magic circle, whether it is a mission, a book or a copy.Naturally, it doesn't mean that he knows everything, but in terms of his experience, he is naturally much better than many people at the moment, and even compared to Beixi, he is not too inferior.

Wei Shengmo was not surprised that Beixi knew about the magic circle, but he still couldn't help but feel emotional.Beixi knows too much, and it's the same. It really makes people doubt whether he participated in the game planning.If he didn't understand the reality of Beixi, he would really have doubts about some things.

Beixi looked at him in surprise, "I don't know [Snooker]?"

Weishengmo: "Yes."

The two looked at each other like this for a while, a smile flashed in Beixi's eyes, and the corner of her lips curled up, "I won't tell you." At this time, evil intentions appeared. "Guess what?"

Wei Shengmo leaned closer to her and chuckled lightly. "If I guess right, is there a reward?" The two looked at each other, and Beixi saw a deep smile overflowing from the pair of black pupils that occupied his line of sight.

Beixi still gave up the idea.The person pushing away said in a muffled voice: "I don't dig a hole for myself."

"Why?" Wei Shengmo made a look of incomprehension.

Beixi glanced at him, and said: "The word [Snooker] is called [life] in ancient magic, and it also means [new life]. The elves should have studied this ancient magic circle very well. This magic circle can give life to dead objects, and it can also spawn a forest in an instant."

[Snooker] The power of the magic circle is unmatched by other magic circles. Whether it is the structure of the magic circle or the required magic power, it is extremely complex and huge.This is also the reason why it is difficult for them to meet this series of magic circles now.

The place where they are at this time is an unknown time. Of course, Goulz, no matter how you start, it will be hundreds of years at least.Before the Karans Empire was unified, there were many racial struggles and experienced many periods of magic rise and fall.

The magic circle has a long history, and Beixi has not fully understood it yet.The structure of this magic circle is very complicated, and the seven-pointed star is the most basic composition of the magic pattern.The subsequent momentum, the inner ring of magic text, the lines in the outer ring, and magic charm will all touch astronomy and geography, and the "prophecy" mentioned in divination will also be expressed through ancient and mysterious magic runes.

After hearing her explanation, Wei Shengmo couldn't help but sigh, looking extremely disappointed.Beixi knew why he showed his appearance like this, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would just suffocate him to death.

Wei Shengmo said: "Beibei, you can let me guess first."

Bei Xi: "Do you think this girl is stupid?" Wei Shengmo is smart, there is no doubt about it.After she mentioned [Snooker], although the man showed a look of confusion, but based on her reaction, and looking at the structure of the magic circle and the arrangement of the elemental runes, it would be a ghost if he couldn't guess it.

Beixi is certainly not stupid.When Wei Shengmo said the reward, he smiled so ambiguously and with so much meaning, how could Bei Xi not guess what the reward this man wanted in the end.

Wei Shengmo couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want to continue to argue with her about this issue.Beixi can be very arrogant sometimes.

Back to topic.

"It seems that these elves used this magic circle to give birth to this vine." Wei Shengmo quickly began to analyze according to the characteristics of the magic circle. "This huge vine, which the elves specially expended mana to cultivate, may be equivalent to the elf tree on the elf island."

But as far as he knew, the elf tree was the only natural belief of the elves.I haven't heard of which branch of the elves' blood is based on vines.

"Could this be a seed from the elf tree?" Bei Xi wondered.

Weishengmo thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that when he was doing some missions before, he had investigated the background of this race because of the mission requirements.When elves are born, the elf tree will drop a seed for each newborn elf.What this seed finally grows varies from elf to elf.

The seed is the heart of the spirit.

Under normal circumstances, elves need different time to cultivate a seed completely.Some elves spend their entire lives in poverty, and their own seeds will not germinate and bloom.

Propagating seeds is indeed an excellent method, but there is a price to pay.The seeds obtained by each elf contain very powerful power.The things that come out of the seeds may not necessarily be flowers and plants, but may also be stones, wood... these ordinary and useless waste products.

The premise of this situation is that the original heart of the elves has been destroyed, that is, they have lost their kindness and have emotions that they shouldn't have.

Bei Xi was very curious about the power of this vine.

"This magic circle has already entered dormant mode." Wei Shengmo touched the magic circle under his feet, and the dense elemental runes that looked like astronomical numbers dazzled people.

This kind of magic circle will not be easily destroyed, it will only enter the dormant mode.In this mode, the magic power is no longer delivered, but it will indeed be turned on due to the injection of magic power.

Wei Shengmo got up, and he began to dredge the route of magic power along the texture line of the magic circle.This kind of magic circle will have many gathering points of magic power, which probably can explain why so many thick branches are derived from the roots of the vines.

Beixi looked at the small magic circle in the center.

This is the essence of the entire magic circle. Bei Xi moved his body, touched his knees to the ground, bent down, and took out [Benaga's Field Exploration Mirror], which is a magnifying glass, to observe carefully.The internal magic circle is very small, so all the magic element runes, charms, potentials, and patterns are dense and small, as dense as ants.When viewed from a distance, it is a black mass, but when viewed closely, it is recognized that it is a magic circle, but to see the runes clearly, a magnifying glass is needed.

Looking over row by row, Beixi had to sigh, such an exquisite magic array.It is rare to see that the magic circle is supported by a single type of rune, which is all elven script. Unfortunately, no one in Beixi knows it.

However, I saw the sign about the prophet of the elves. The wing pattern of [Elf Collection].

This should be a magic circle belonging to elves.

Bei Xi fell into deep thought when Wei Sheng Mo's voice came from a few meters away.

"Beibei, we found something."

Hearing this, Beixi stood up from the ground and threw the magnifying glass back into the package.Then I walked to the thick branch in front of me. This branch was still very high, only 1.4 meters, five high.Beixi easily landed on the branch with one leap, and then landed several more times. With a series of smooth movements, he quickly landed behind Wei Shengmo.

The man was squatting in one place, and Beixi walked quickly to his side.I just saw a flower in front of him.In this dead and silent area, it is very eye-catching.The flower was about half a meter high, and the rhizome was tightly tied to the ground, and there was another magic circle underneath.And the location is not out of the area of ​​the entire [Snooker] magic circle.There are other magic circles in the big magic circle again, which is probably a few magic circles.

The rhizome of the flower is not just a simple thin rhizome, but spreads out like a blooming lotus, and then the roots and leaves overlap until the flower stem stands upright, but the joint is folded again, and the entire receptacle supports the flower bone, opening slightly The flower buds are facing the ground, and its body is shaking again and again, shining with a light and soft pink light.

Unbloomed flowers.

The petals of the flower itself will become transparent when the light is shining, so at this moment, the two of them will find that there seems to be something in the flower bone.

Although it was only an instant to become transparent, the two of them could see it very clearly.Among the flower buds, there is a curled up elf.

"what is this?"

Beixi knelt down beside him, and the two of them looked at the flower and did not act immediately.Because once you get closer, you will hear a faint heartbeat, one after another.When the two stopped talking and their breathing began to slow down, the surroundings began to fall into silence, and the sound of the heartbeat became extraordinarily loud.

In this dead space, deprived of vitality by time, there can still be colors and the breath of life, which itself should not be underestimated.The flower in front of them is unknown and possibly dangerous.

The space and time they are in is suspended, and some things that are scheduled to happen are caught in the vortex of time, and they are often not controlled by time, all because of their powerful power, or their bodies, without the theory of birth, old age, sickness and death.

How did a spirit sleep in a bud, and what was the flower about?
Bei Xi was thinking about what would happen if he directly touched the bottom.

The two stared at the flowers and began to meditate.
