Magic Condensation?

Rhode was really surprised. You know, he has been playing Swordsman for seven years and has seen all kinds of strange situations, but he has never seen such strange situations before.

The so-called magic condensation refers to some summoning elves that cooperate with the holder and use for a long time. During the evolution process, they will "bring" something. According to the game, because their evolution is too fast, excessive magic power condenses in it, and eventually transforms into magic condensation - in other words, equipment.

However, the simpler statement among players is that the summoned elves with high likes to them will give them a surprise after evolution...that's all.

But this is not an enviable thing. First, the equipment given by summoning elves is not high, and second, these equipment are all illusion products, and are only for the summoner to use alone. If it is discarded, it will directly turn into nothingness, and it cannot be sold or given to others, so it is considered a half-lost.

Rhodes was not surprised to summon the elves to generate magic power. After all, this holy sword has been following him until now, but what surprised him was - shouldn't the holy sword be equipment?

Generally speaking, only creatures with self-will have the characteristics of magic condensation?

What's going on?

The Holy Sword is not a creature.

However, Rhodes was stunned for only a moment, so the system prompt did not confirm it at all, but just told him that this was the case, that's all. So the golden words quickly dissipated from Rhodes' eyes and disappeared. Then, the card originally floating in his palm returned to nothingness.

Lijie and Mess looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. In fact, they were not very clear about who Rhode was, nor did they know his identity. Although he looked like a swordsman, except for swordsmanship, everything he did was difficult to get involved with the profession of Swordsman. However, neither of them asked much. As an adventurer, Lijie naturally knew that many swordsmen had their own unique power and inheritance. Mess was more certain that Rhode was likely to be the descendant of an ancient family, and only they would have such extraordinary existence.

Although he noticed their gaze, Rhodes did not explain much. As a guild leader, he knew that he would say less unnecessary words and do less unnecessary things. You should know that the players on the Internet had such a wonderful and intense battle of words. If you use one word or another wrong, you might be able to use the other party to make a lot of use. Especially later, Rhodes became the first guild, and his words and deeds were not used by many enemies. The more you explained, the more loopholes you had, you might as well say nothing and let them misunderstand. He just took back the cards and began to organize other items.

The mages are all quite rich.

In the church, Lijie and Metz discovered not only the statue that controlled the gargoyle, but also a small pile of gems and crystals that had lost their magic. These were all left by Rhodes. As a part-time alchemist, these things were of some use to him.

What surprised Rhodes was a diary found on his desk by Lijie. The one recorded the life of the wizard after he came to this town.

This made Rhodes become interested. Although as a player, he is very familiar with the causes and consequences of the entire copy of the Mist Ruins, it is the first time from the perspective of NPC.

Although most of the content in the diary has become blurred, there are still some records left:

The Year of the Saint, the fifth day of the Thunder Moon

I succeeded. After the cost of countless innocent lives, I finally clearly saw her shadow. In the middle of the magic circle, she smiled at me, the same gentle smile as when she was alive. I was so excited that I couldn't even call her name, but she was unable to hear my response. The spell was not complete, but I already had hope, and my idea was correct!

The Year of the Saint, the Fifteenth Day of the Thunder Month

Praise the Holy Soul! I finally got her again, and I gained enough power to resist all things! Bringing the dying soul back to me, she saw me! I could touch her, feel her warm body, she hugged me, and called my name softly. At that moment, I felt that everything I did was worth it. Ah... My favorite Shina, she is still as gentle, beautiful and considerate as she was when she was alive.

I was very conflicted, but I finally made up my mind to confess to her. I told her what I did, but Shina forgave me. She smiled and forgave me. At that moment, I felt that life was so beautiful, and even the sunshine outside was so bright. I had decided that I would take her away from here, and we would live the life of ordinary people, the same as ordinary people. I would no longer contact these evil magics, nor would I use spells. We would move to a quiet mountain village, then get married there, have children, and die like ordinary people.

I don't know if I am still qualified to be such happiness, but I will work hard to win it and may the holy soul protect me.

The year of the saint, the third day of the month of blasphemy

Something is wrong.

That's not Hina, I feel this way, although her appearance is exactly the same as I remember, I feel this way. That's not her, I told her my plan, but she just smiled, said yes, agreed. It's so strange. She is a smart girl, but also an independent girl. She can't listen to me in everything.

I was a little doubtful, was there something wrong with the spell?

Why did she believe in my words so deeply?

I'm going to do another experiment to confirm whether my idea is correct, Holy Soul blesses me, hope my idea is wrong.

The year of the saint, the fourth day of the month of blasphemy

Why does this happen if the holy soul is above?

That's not Shina! She's just a monster with Shina's shell! I told her that I would kill people for her, old people, children, and women. I don't just need her, but I want more women to be with me. If this is really her, she would never agree. But to my surprise, she sat quietly by the bed, smiled and listened to me and said yes to me gently.

This is impossible! This is not her! This is not the person in my memory! What exactly is she? What is it? What is it? (The handwriting begins to become messy).

The year of the saint, the ninth day of the month of blasphemy

May the Holy Soul forgive my ignorance.

This may be the punishment for me to violate the holy law. I want to reverse life and death and regain my soul that has disappeared. But I failed, this is punishment. That thing is not Shina. It has no self at all. It is just an empty shell, an instinctive seal and a monster exploring the spiritual images deep in the hearts of others to survive. I want to kill it, but I can't do it anymore. It has absorbed all my strength... I'm going to die, I have no strength to stop it.

That's fine...Sina, since you can't come to me, then let me go to the eternal dark river to find you...

May the Holy Soul accept my sinful soul......

After writing the diary here, only a blank space was left. Rhode closed the diary and shook his head. It seemed that this wizard was indeed a love saint as the rumor said... But if he had chosen to commit suicide earlier, so many people would have died. But...

A slight sense of incongruity flashed through Rhode's mind, and before he could catch it, he flashed away.

There seems to be something wrong?

Rhode frowned and thought for a long time, but he finally got no answer. However, he quickly put the matter behind his head, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

This was just a small episode, and then the three of them rested in the abandoned church for a night, then set off again the next day, walking towards the depths of the fog.

"Swish!"

A dazzling white light flashed by, followed by the figure of the ghost who disappeared with the wail.

Compared with the past, the evolutionary star marks are more beautiful. The flawless sword blade is carved with beautiful and exquisite hollow patterns. The originally closed snow-white wings are slightly unfolded, and the white silver thread hovering out from it turns into a cage and surrounds the hilt of the sword. Just looking at it, you will not think that this is a weapon, but an exquisite work of art. It should not appear on the battlefield. On the contrary, places like art galleries or treasure rooms are its real belonging.

"What a magical masterpiece."

Looking at the long sword emitting a faint light in Rhode's hand, Metz couldn't help but exclaim.

"Please be honest, Mr. Rod, I have never seen such a beautiful weapon in my business for so many years..."

Speaking of this, Metz narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know, you..."

Rhode waved his hand, but did not want to answer Metz's question. He just stared ahead and then replied in a deep voice.

"We're almost here."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Mess and Lijie hurriedly raised their heads and looked forward along Rhode's gaze. Soon, they saw a weedy square, and on the other side of the square, two huge dilapidated wooden doors were emerging and faintly under the fog.

"Just pass through this door, we can reach the Alagak Pass and then we can go down the mountain."

Speaking of this, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. After all, since he woke up in this world, his spirit has been in a state of high tension. Although taking risks is a very happy thing for players, if they are seriously injured and full of pressure, even players will not be so happy.

What's more, this is not a game, and I can't go offline to smoke, drink, and play mahjong in the middle of the process.

But before that, there is still a difficult situation to pass.

Rhode frowned and carefully observed the thick fog in front of him. He waved his hand and signaled the two people behind him to pay attention.

"Is there any problem? Mr. Rhode?"

Seeing Rhode's gesture, Lijie quickly reacted. She stepped closer to Rhode and then asked in a low voice.

"Be careful, the battle is not over yet, and we still have the most troublesome boss that has not been dealt with."

"Posi?"

"Uh...I mean the monster."

Rhode shook his head. He was really used to the habit of giving orders in the game, and he really couldn't change it for a while. But now it was obviously not the time to pay attention to such trivial matters. He took a deep breath, then turned his head and looked at the two of them.

"Do you know the origin of the fog ruin?"

When they heard Rhode's inquiry, both of them were stunned and then shook their heads.

"This was once a bustling town, but after the Fengchao channel was opened, it gradually became deserted. After that, a mage came here. In order to find his dead lover, he conducted a taboo magic experiment here. In the end, he failed."

Speaking of here, Rhodes stopped and then looked at the surrounding town covered in foggy.

"And after that, the town became like this."

"Then Mr. Rhode, the monster you are talking about is..."

Mess frowned. He thought the two gargoyles were the most terrifying monsters before. Could there be someone more terrifying than that one?

"Shadow."

The word Rhodes said was plain, but the strange tone made both of them feel cold.

"It was the most terrifying monster born in the final failure, and if we were not careful, then we would all die here."

"Is it very powerful? Mr. Rhode?"

Although I was puzzled how Rhode knew, for Lijie, the problem in front of me was obviously more important. But unexpectedly, Rhode shook his head.

"To be honest, it is not very strong. It has weak defenses on physical attributes, almost the same as ordinary ghosts."

"That…………"

After hearing Rhode's explanation, Lijie was a little confused. If it was almost the same, then why would Rhode say that this thing is very dangerous?

"Because the shadow has a special skill."

Rhode hesitated for a while and finally decided to speak out.

"It will spike your heart and then transform into a familiar appearance. If you can't wake up from the nightmare it creates in time and maintain a firm belief, then there is only a dead end."

When talking about this, Rhodes' tone was not very certain. Because in the game, this boss will appear after the adventure team has entered the field. It will transform into the player's appearance and disrupt the player's judgment. At the beginning, this was indeed a very troublesome boss, and many teams were destroyed here. However, the methods were all figured out by people, and soon the players found out that the ghost's strength was not strong, and it had no particularly dangerous places except for copying the player itself. In other words, if only one player entered the field, it could only copy the opponent itself. Such a one-on-one battle is of course no problem for most players. Therefore, after the mysterious halo of the ghost was broken, it became a wooden stake used by many players to practice single-handed bosses... The outcome is tragic.

but…………

Why, it always seems that there is some contradiction?

Rhode frowned, and he felt a vague feeling that a voice in his heart told him that things were not that simple, but for a moment, he seemed to be unable to grasp any clues.
