Chapter 127 Ashford’s Invitation

The follow-up action plan we arranged for Matsumoto Masaka can be said to be very successful. With the emergence of the first player who revealed the fact of attacking Matsumoto Masaka's convoy out of guilt, the subsequent situation began to gradually fall into our script. First, Masamoto Matsumoto followed my plan and began to publicize how much they had paid to obtain the Divine Weapon Sifangzun. Then when the Japanese players felt pity, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly pointed the muzzle of public opinion at the Japanese protoss.

Yamata no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss were shot almost while they were lying down, and they were inexplicably dragged into the forefront of public opinion. And there is a very interesting situation in this, a situation that none of us have noticed, that is, the Protoss seem to There is not much window for public opinion.

Players' guilds can use many methods to guide or create a certain kind of argument they want. This behavior is similar to the situation in reality. It can be executed in various ways and is very effective. However, it seems that the Protoss can only interfere with players' public opinion in very limited ways. Therefore, it can be said that the Protoss is almost a congenitally disadvantaged group in the public opinion war. We speculate that this may be related to the system's restrictions on the Protoss, but in any case, the Protoss has no way to deal with Matsumoto Masa's accusation.

Yamata no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss, who had fully borne the blame, were just a little bit sorry about this, because the war between them did affect Japan's expression of its external combat effectiveness, so they also felt that they should not do it, but they didn't care much. However, the Gods themselves don't care, but the players do. Japanese players have always been the main force in mutual attacks during this period. And because of the unequal fighting power between the Protoss and the players, the players are the ones who sacrifice the most in the conflict. This means that in this civil war among the Protoss, the Japanese player group did not actually benefit, but instead suffered some losses. Benefit.

For players, the gods in the game and the beliefs in reality are completely different things, so. Players rarely really believe in a certain in-game protoss. They only follow the protoss for equipment and various rewards. To put it bluntly, they are mercenaries. If you give money and let mercenaries fight for you, that's fine, but there's no benefit, and you'll have to pay for ammunition. Which mercenary would be willing to work with such an employer?

Originally, if it hadn't been for what Masamoto Matsumoto had done this time, the opinions of Japanese players towards Yamata no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss would have remained at a simple tendency stage. It hasn't really exploded yet. but. After Masamoto Matsumoto made this matter clear, many players began to realize that this kind of war is a very bad phenomenon for Japanese players, and because most of them have actually been killed because of this war Something has been lost, so the rebound emotion at this time has become extremely strong.

Because of this kind of emotional rebound from players, coupled with Masamoto Matsumoto's intentional guidance, this matter can almost be said to be in a state of unanimous response.

In order to make Masamoto Matsumoto the leader of Japanese players. The team we specially equipped for him includes people who specialize in publicity campaigns. These people are all professionals. They are not amateur players, they are media professionals in reality. In the game, it is just a different information media carrier, but there will be no problem with those basic concepts. Therefore, these people have done a very good job in the propaganda offensive. They can not only accurately control the direction of public opinion, but also control the intensity within a general range.

With such sophisticated teamwork, Masamoto Matsumoto almost instantly regained the voice of Japanese players that had been lost due to the excessive intervention of the Takamagahara Protoss and Yamata no Orochi during this period. After gaining the right to speak, Matsumoto Masamoto did not stop there. Instead, he continued to use public opinion offensive to encourage Japanese players to find the mysterious force that first attacked the convoy transporting national equipment, and expressed his hope openly and covertly. Find out why the other party attacked the convoy.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this attitude. I think if this is true, Matsumoto Masaru should indeed have such a reaction. Of course, this is not the case. The fact that the convoy transported Chinese national equipment and was attacked was just a lie we made up, so the actual purpose of Masamoto Matsumoto was to use the majority of Japanese players to help us find the reason for the leak.

When China was just founded, it liked to mobilize the people and launch the power of people's war. At that time, when the country was just founded and the domestic situation was still unstable, this move indeed played a huge role. Many professional spies lurking in the country are often discovered and reported by some old men and women. This shows how powerful the effect of the People's War is. As long as people across the country are willing to cooperate and actively implement it, it is really easy to investigate anything.

Now Masamoto Matsumoto has successfully regained the attention of Japanese players through our fictitious lies this time, so his wish was quickly implemented by Japanese players everywhere. With the efforts of these players, the hidden information in each game was quickly dug out.

"President." I had been back to Essinger for more than half a day and suddenly received a communication from Masamoto Matsumoto.

After the communication was connected in the conference hall, I immediately saw the projection of Masa Matsumoto. "Why are you contacting me in the middle of the night?"

Although it was already past four o'clock in the morning in Japan, Masamoto Matsumoto was obviously very excited. He said excitedly: "President, you are still awesome! The method you taught me is really effective!"

"You contacted me in the middle of the night just to tell me this?"

"No, no, I want to tell you that the reason why your whereabouts were leaked has been investigated."

Even I was stunned when I heard this result. "The investigation came out? So quickly?"

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but I can't stand it anymore. Players all over Japan are helping us investigate."

I nodded and said, "Then how did we get exposed?"

"The thing is actually very simple." Masamoto Matsumoto said: "After you got off the car and entered the forest, you were discovered by the magic pet of a high-level player. The player's level was relatively high, and he seemed to be planning to enter the forest there recently. Leveling up, but you also know that the place is more dangerous, and he can’t do anything about it himself, so he sent a high-level magic pet to help him check the situation inside and see if he can level up safely there.”

"So that demon pet didn't find the monster, but it found us, right?"

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said: "The other party happens to know you, and he also sees all of you through the eyes of the demon pet."

He didn't even notice the other party being close to him because of his magic pet. I'm not surprised by this. Although Kristina used a large-scale detection technique at that time, you have to know that that place was originally a monster area. During the detection technique, each monster came in and out of the sensing range no matter how many times, so unless a certain monster If it really rushes towards us, Kristina usually won't pay too much attention. If a player had been nearby, we would have definitely noticed. The key is the magic pet, as long as there is no battle. Cannot see the player information prompted by the system. It is impossible for us to know whether the person approaching us is a familiar or a wild monster.

"It's understandable that we were discovered. But even if the other party discovered us, why would they attack the convoy you sent?" I asked.

Masamoto Matsumoto explained: "This player not only saw you. It was his magic pet who entered the mountain and saw you, but he himself was on the road outside the mountain, and he happened to see our convoy. Because I want to cover you, the team’s whereabouts are a bit strange. In addition, the strength of the Asian Games team is a bit beyond the standard, so it aroused his suspicion. "

"If it was just suspicion, I wouldn't attack your convoy rashly, right? You are now the leader of Japanese players, so you attacked your convoy just because of suspicion. Isn't this a bit too much? Besides, it seems that the person who attacked you is Ghost-handed Nobunaga, right? How did he get involved? Could it be that the person who discovered us is Ghost-handed Nobunaga?"

"No, but it's almost the same." Masamoto Matsumoto explained: "That player is not a member of Ghost-hand Nobunaga, but he was one of Ghost-hand Nobunaga's supporters, and even now he still maintains a relationship with Ghost-hand Nobunaga. He has a relatively good relationship and can be regarded as a die-hard supporter of Ghost Hand Nobunaga, but he has a relatively good bottom line and has never joined Ghost Hand Nobunaga's Ghost Hand Alliance. After discovering your whereabouts, he happened to meet you. Ghost Hand Nobunaga, and told Ghost Hand Nobunaga about the strange phenomenon encountered this time."

When Masamoto Matsumoto said this, I started to interject: "In other words, Nobunaga Nobunaga heard about your guild's strange convoy from this player, and then discovered our existence. Although this player himself has some doubts, But he didn't think in that direction at all. However, Nobunaga Ghost Hands had already suspected that there was a connection between us, so he connected the two things and ordered an attack on the convoy you sent. "

Matsumoto Masaru confirmed again: "That's right. Ghost Hand Nobunaga was a little suspicious at first, but we had tricked him several times before, so now he is not sure whether we had any contact before. However, as long as there is He would not give up, and attacking our convoy was not a big deal to him. At that time, he did not know that the convoy would be transporting Chinese national weapons. Of course, the convoy was not transporting national weapons, but he was sure , He definitely didn’t do it for this at the time. If he had known that the outcome of the matter would be so serious, he probably wouldn’t have done it.”

I nodded in agreement. Masamoto Matsumoto's analysis makes sense. Ghost Hand Nobunaga had always suspected that there was any relationship between us. This time it was just a secret attack on a convoy. It wasn't a big deal in the first place, so naturally he wouldn't take it to heart. Therefore, he had no burden at all about assigning personnel to attack the convoy, but now after the attack, he knew that the matter was serious, because Matsumoto Masamoto publicly declared that the convoy was transporting Chinese national equipment. As long as players understand what the national weapon represents, they will not take this as a small matter.

"Now that we know it was not an insider who leaked the information, we don't have to worry too much."

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded, and then asked: "I am not worried about this matter anymore, but how to deal with the attack on the convoy this time? Is it going to calm down?"

After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that it was not easy to make a decision on this matter alone. The purpose of asking Masamoto Matsumoto to make the matter bigger was to investigate why our whereabouts were exposed. Of course, the more important goal is to remove ourselves from this matter. The connection between us and Matsumoto Masa cannot be allowed to be discovered. This is all incident management. As the president, I can only make decisions on this matter alone. However, as to whether to put this incident to rest, it is not my decision alone. This is an issue related to the situation in Japan as a whole and is a strategic issue. I can make decisions on tactical issues alone, but of course it is better to let the staff group discuss strategic issues.

"Wait a moment, I'll contact the staff and ask what to do."

"Okay. I'll wait."

After connecting to the communication of the staff group through the military god, I briefly talked about the matter. The staff members in our guild were fast enough, and they roughly discussed the results in a few minutes. After listening to their opinions, I talked to Rose again. Of course, I also contacted Hongyue and Eagle. After consensus with everyone, I contacted Masamoto Matsumoto again.

"Have you decided?"

"Well. We have the same opinion here. As for Nobunaga Ghost Hands, you are not suitable to be beaten to death with a stick, but this matter cannot be forgotten this time. We must teach Nobunaga Ghost Hands a lesson and get it. Practical benefits.”

"Do you have a specific plan on how to do it?"

"There is no too specific plan. Anyway, you can figure it out yourself. But remember, you must let Nobunaga publicly admit that he did this thing. To further improve his image in the minds of Japanese players Blackened. Also, we need him to apologize publicly."

"Why must he apologize publicly?"

"This is the meaning of roses. Its main purpose is to combat the blind worship of Nobunaga by his die-hard fans. Making him admit that he sent people to do this will only let Japanese players with brains see his true face. But those diehards are indiscriminate, and the reason for their loyalty is often just personal worship. No matter whether the person does something wrong or right, this kind of worship is often difficult to attack. However, if Nobunaga himself admits that he He made a mistake. And publicly apologized for it, which is tantamount to his own behavior damaging his personal image. If Japanese players continue to blindly worship him, they will fall into an endless cycle. If they want to be die-hard Nobunaga, they must admit it. Ghost-hand Nobunaga is just an ordinary person who makes mistakes. But if he admits this, then he has no value as a die-hard loyalist. Therefore, these die-hard loyalists must change their way of thinking, and as long as they change their way of thinking, then There is at least a 50% chance that they will lose their loyalty to Nobunaga, and our goal will be achieved."

"Sounds complicated."

"Rose also said that this is quite complicated. It's mainly psychological stuff. Anyway, you just need to know how to arrange it."

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said: "I understand this, but how do you get the actual benefits you mentioned?"

"In terms of actual benefits, I'm not asking you to get anything, but asking Nobunaga Ghost Hand to give you a promise, and ask him to publicly guarantee that if you need to use him in any external action plan next time, he will need unconditional support. You complete this operation together.”

Masamoto Matsumoto screamed in surprise as soon as he heard what I said. "Boss, are you too shady? Nobunaga Ghost Hands is really unlucky. He was deceived by you and still helps you to do things. He really has to help count the money after being sold!"

"What's ours, doesn't it belong to you?"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, let me go do the work, okay?"

After Matsumoto Masaru's defeat, I also turned off the communication, but even at this point I couldn't take any time off, so I continued to work.

After leaving the conference hall on Essinger's side, I went directly to the Heavenly Court. We previously asked Heavenly Court to help us jointly fight against the invasion of Yamata no Orochi, but now it seems that this matter will not happen for a while, so I have to go and say hello. Can't we always have Heavenly Court on standby 24 hours a day? No matter how good the relationship between Heavenly Court and us is, they are not an organization. Necessary politeness is still necessary.

After the Jade Emperor learned about this, he talked to me about some long-term arrangements. After all, the invasion of Yamato no Orochi was just a delay, and it didn't stop there, so I still have to be careful, but I don't have to be in such a hurry.

After exchanging information with the Jade Emperor, I ran to Germany without stopping. Ashford originally agreed to be our reserve team, but now our battle is no longer needed, and this reserve team is temporarily unavailable, so we still have to say hello. In order to be our reserve team, we must ensure that most players are online for a long time, and they cannot take on large tasks during this time. You can't engage in guild battles or anything like that. If there is going to be a war with Yamata no Orochi soon, it would be okay to let Ashford stay in this state for a while. It won't be too long anyway, but now, this time has become an unknown number, and we can't let it happen. The entire Iron Crusaders have been waiting like this, right? Even if someone is willing to wait, how can we repay this favor? Therefore, it is still necessary to notify that the alarm is temporarily lifted.

"What you mean is that we are still needed as a reserve team, but the time is not yet certain, right?" Ashford confirmed after listening to what I said.

I nodded and answered firmly: "Yes, it won't be used for the time being. However, we don't know when Yamata no Orochi went crazy. Moreover, I estimate that this time will not be too long. At most, he can It’s just a quiet month or two.”

"In this case, at least we are free for the time being." Ashford said and suddenly became excited. Then he asked: "So will you be free during this period of time?"

"What do you want to do?" Seeing Ashford approaching excitedly, I instinctively leaned back.

Ashford smiled obscenely and said: "Well... I happen to have two super-level mission scrolls in my hand. So what..."

"I have time. But not much. You'd better tell me the length of the task, otherwise I won't be able to help. Also, there isn't much power we can mobilize in our guild at the moment. If you just let me do it alone , I have no problem, but if you want help from others, then I’m not sure!”

"That's it!" Ashford thought for a moment and asked, "Can Kristina come?"

"Kristina? Do you need her help?"

Ashford nodded vigorously and said: "She can reduce the difficulty of this task by at least two levels. To be honest, she is more useful in this task than you."

"Then I'll just lend you her for two days. Why do you have to take me with you?"

"I just said that she is more useful than you. I didn't say that you are useless!" Ashford explained: "This task is more troublesome, so neither you nor Kristina can do it. There must be help from others. Everyone has a special role in this mission."

I thought for a while and asked: "How long does the task process take?"

"I'm not sure about this yet. But if nothing else happens, it can be done in one or two days."

"What if there's an accident?"

"It's only a matter of three or four days, so I won't have much influence on you, right?"

"It's acceptable. Kristina and I can help. What kind of person do you want? I can see if there are any suitable candidates."

Ashford thought for a while and said: "We also need someone who can teleport. It is best to teleport over short distances, and the consumption is very low. It is best to use it frequently."

"We also have people like this. Are there any others?"

"No need, the number of people allowed in the mission is only seven. We have four people here, and you have three, which just reaches the mission limit."

I nodded and asked, "When will it start?"

"Just find all the people. In order to serve as a reserve for you, I have arranged the entire guild's affairs in the past few days. It's okay if you don't need my command in the short term."

"Then I'll ask the God of War to send someone over."

"I'm going to call our people too."

After deciding to do this task, we immediately took action. Ashford quickly ran to find his team members, while I was waiting here for the team members to arrive while reading the mission briefing. To be honest, this task is really not that complicated.

In fact, the task itself is not very difficult. The key is that there are too many restrictions and the task requirements are too harsh.

First of all, this task requires seven players to participate in the task, no more and no less.

Originally, it would be easy if we just found seven people to participate. But the key is that there are additional instructions at the end of the mission, indicating that the end of the mission requires the combined efforts of individuals to complete it, which means that no one in the team can die before encountering the last boss. As long as one of them dies, the mission will be a failure, because there is a special mechanism at the end that requires seven people to operate it together. What? You said you could use summoned creatures instead? Of course I know this method, but unfortunately it is clearly stated on the mission scroll that the entire mission process is restricted to summons and space items. Neither a magic pet nor a summoned creature can be summoned, and even items are restricted. It’s best to take out whatever you want to use in advance and carry it on your back with a physical baggage. Otherwise, you can’t expect to use these things again after entering the mission.

It can be said that as soon as this restriction came out, many of our abilities were sealed. Otherwise, this kind of task would not be difficult at all.

I was reading the mission introduction here, and the door outside was suddenly pushed open. Ashford followed three players into the room. It was obvious that these were the people who were participating in the mission together.

I know one of the three people Ashford found, and that is Ashford’s wife Alice. Although this blonde beauty has a sweet baby face. But the plate armor she wears shows that she is a Teutonic warrior who is famous throughout Europe for her super attack power. This profession is basically a bulldozer in my mind. Not to mention defense, there are few professions that can compete with them in terms of attack power. Before their blood volume reaches the bottom, the Teutonic warriors are almost invincible, and ordinary professions have no other choice but to fight against them.

Probably noticing my gaze, Ashford explained with some embarrassment: "Ziri, don't look at us like this! Although Alice is my wife, I am not cheating. She is really powerful. .”

I shook my head and said, "I'm just here to help anyway. It's up to you to arrange the personnel. Whether it's completed or not is not my business."

"President Ziri. Are you doubting my strength?"

"I'm not doubting your strength, I'm just clarifying the situation with Ashford."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ashford quickly stepped forward and said, "Zi Ri, you are wrong. Alice is really strong."

I nodded and said, "I understand this."

"You understand and you still say that?" Ashford asked angrily.

I explained: "I just want your wife to put down her arrogance and realize that the people here are not ordinary people. Although her strength is very good, I feel a kind of arrogance. There is a saying in our country called arrogant soldiers." It will be defeated. I think you should understand what I mean."

After hearing what I said, Ashford turned to look at his wife, while Alice lowered her head and pondered. to be honest. I haven’t met Alice for the first time, but I feel like she has changed a lot from the last time I met her. When I first met her, she seemed a little nervous and timid. Although she didn't speak to me at that time, I can confirm that she was a very shy and polite person at that time. But today, her whole temperament has changed. Although she seems more confident than before and has the aura of a master, this confidence seems to be a bit too much. I even noticed that she felt slightly unconvinced even when she saw me. Although she didn't say anything, her body language clearly conveyed this message. If it were an ordinary person, I would definitely not care about it, but this is Ashford's woman, and as an ally, I feel the need to remind them.

Ashford is not an idiot. Of course he knows what I'm talking about when he hears my words. Besides, this Alice definitely didn't suddenly become like this in one day. Ashford should know something about this process. I don’t know why she became like this, but I am certain that Ashford played a key role in it.

"Eh? What's going on? Did you just fight? I seem to smell gun smoke." Kristina and Night Child suddenly appeared in the room, interrupting the depressing atmosphere between us. Of course the person speaking was not the Son of the Night. This boy was the type who couldn't beat him with three sticks. Even if he found out, he would definitely not interrupt.

"Ah, the principle is that our fort is back." When Ashford saw Kristina, he immediately greeted her warmly and shook hands with her.

Kristina smiled and shook his hand, and then asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you having trouble?"

Kristina is originally a European and is also very famous here. Ashford has known her even earlier than me. Of course, Kristina is now a member of our Frost Rose Alliance, so the relationship is still We are closer.

Ashford originally wanted to answer, but to his surprise, Alice, who had lowered her head and remained silent after I finished speaking, suddenly came over and stretched out a hand to me, and then said: "Please accept My apology. There is indeed something wrong with my mentality recently."

I'm not the kind of person who is petty. Although we do hold grudges sometimes, it's not with friends. I shook hands cheerfully and made peace, and then I also apologized: "Maybe my choice of words is not appropriate. I'm sorry."

Alice smiled and said it didn't matter, then turned to Ashford and said, "Listen to me."

"Huh?" Ashford was stunned by what Alice said, and then he came over and asked in a low voice, a little frightened: "What's the matter?" It was obvious that Ashford was a "hep-controller" guy. As for the early symptoms, although they were only engaged and not married yet, it was certain that Ashford was afraid of Alice anyway.

Ashford was a little timid when he was suddenly called over. Unexpectedly, Alice immediately said something that made him almost dislocate his jaw.

"Listen to me, Ashford. From now on, you are not allowed to spoil me. If I have done anything wrong, you must tell me immediately. If I don't accept it, and you are convinced that it is my fault, You can punish me physically, even hit me. I need a man who can help me. Not a manservant who is always on call."

"Uh..." Ashford completely entered a state of neurological failure, and he was completely dumbfounded.

"Okay, okay. It'll be fine once things are settled." Kristina looked at the atmosphere as a bit strange. He quickly came out to smooth things over, then changed the subject and said, "Why are you calling us out so urgently? Is there something going on?"

"Of course." I turned around and said, "Ashford has a task that we need to help with. Because the task is too difficult, we need some strong personnel."

Ye Zhizi, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked: "Boss, why did you call me if you need strong personnel?"

"Because you are one of the people especially suited for this mission. We need your teleportation abilities."

"Oh I see."

Seeing that we had already begun to discuss the mission, Ashford began to say to us: "Well, now that everyone is here, I will tell you some things to note about the mission. This mission restricts summoning and space items. So, magic pets and so on I can’t summon it after entering the mission.”

"Is it okay to release it in advance?" Kristina asked.

Ashford shook his head and said: "The mission is limited to seven people. It doesn't matter if you have one more or less, and you cannot summon creatures in advance. However, you can take out the equipment you want to use in advance, because after entering, the contents of your space equipment will All of them cannot be taken out. The Phoenix Dragon Space of the Frost Rose Alliance will also be sealed."

"So troublesome?" Kristina said as she quickly took out her staff. She doesn't usually use this thing very much, she only uses it when she encounters strong enemies. But since the space-limited equipment was in place, she had to take it out in advance, otherwise she would be in trouble if she didn't have to use it when she needed it.

After saying this, Ashford continued: "Besides this, there is one more thing to note. If you know undead magic, you can consider summoning some undead creatures after entering."

"Didn't you say restricted summons?"

"Yes, it's a restricted summons, but this restriction feels more like a space blockade."

I understood it as soon as Ashford mentioned the space blockade. We can think of space as a room. When we summon a familiar or another creature, it is like pulling a creature that was originally in another room into this room through the door or window to help us fight. Although those creatures were summoned, they actually already existed, but they were just not here before. As for taking out items from space items, this is actually a similar situation. The spaces in those space equipment are actually equivalent to hidden compartments in the room, or closets and the like. Normally we can open these secret compartments or closets to take things out and put them in, it doesn't matter, but a room blocked by space is equivalent to locking all the doors and windows. Therefore, neither the creatures in the next room nor the items in the closet in this room can be taken out. This is what space blockade really means.

After understanding the true meaning of space blockade, what Ashford said is easier to understand. There are two ways for a necromancer to summon undead creatures. Although they are both called summons, in fact only one is a real summons, and the other should be called manufacturing.

In addition to summoning undead creatures from the undead plane by opening space channels, necromancers can also use space equipment to store powerful undead creatures obtained previously and release them when needed. This is actually the same situation as a beast tamer summoning a familiar. This method will also be sealed in this mission, because it involves things outside the space, so it cannot be used.

However, the Necromancer is not limited to summoning the undead. They can also make their own undead. Join the Necromancer and encounter a high-level knight in this mission. As long as you kill it, you can use skills to transform it into an undead creature in the Undead Knight series. During this process, the body of the undead knight is the knight in the mission, and no space shuttle occurs, so the space blockade will not interfere with this summoning.

"So that's it." Kristina is a mage after all, so she understands these things relatively clearly, and Son of the Night is a necromancer. Of course it’s clearer what the situation is. As for the people on Ashford's side, they probably already knew the content of the mission, so they didn't say anything. Ashford mainly explains the situation to us.

After we expressed our understanding, Ashford told us a more serious restriction.

"Well... there is a troublesome setting in this mission. That is, our magic power will be limited."

"The magic power is limited?" Kristina asked in surprise: "Then why did you ask me to come? I am a mage. Without magic power, do you want me to go up and fight the monster hand-to-hand?"

"No, this restriction does not mean that magic cannot be used, but it limits the speed and recovery of magic power."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"That is to say, there is an upper limit for magic power output. The magic value you can output at one time cannot exceed one-tenth of your total magic power."

"Does that mean all the ultimate moves can no longer be used?" Kristina asked.

A normal player's ultimate move will generally release one-tenth to all of the player's magic value in an instant. If the output is limited, it cannot exceed one-tenth. That means. All the skills that can be used are conventional skills, and basically don't expect anything with high output and damage.

Ashford nodded and admitted: "It is true that the ultimate move cannot be used. Moreover, not only the ultimate move cannot be used, but also the ordinary skills must be used sparingly, because during the entire mission, your magic recovery speed is only ten percent of the normal value. One. In terms of mission time, this recovery amount is basically equivalent to the state where each of us can only rely on three-tube demons. And it is very slow to replenish. In addition, because space equipment is limited, medicine has also become a problem. Although magic potions and the like can restore magic, because we have to fight and space equipment cannot be used, we must not bring too much of these things."

"Damn, it's okay if the cannon turns into a rifle. There is a limited supply of ammunition. This mission is really terrible!" Kristina, a violent woman, likes nothing more than opening the elemental body and using magic to wash the floor, but now because of the magic output problem , her elemental body can no longer be used. In addition, there is a limit to the magic value, and this ammunition has become a problem. This is equivalent to losing 60 to 70% of her combat effectiveness.

Ashford also knew that this restriction was very painful, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he can decide, of course he hopes there will be no restrictions on anything, so that he can complete the task without asking for our help. Unfortunately, that is just a beautiful wish and cannot be realized at all.

"Are these the only restrictions?"

"That's probably it," Ashford said.

Kristina asked again: "If I activate the skill now, will I be wiped out when I enter the mission?"

"Probably not." Ashford said uncertainly.

Kristina thought for a moment and said, "Whether it's possible or not, there's no harm in giving it a try." As she said that, she directly inserted the staff into the ground, then held the huge gem flower on the head of the staff with both hands, and then violently shook it with both hands. Pressing towards the middle, the huge gem flower suddenly closed inward and turned into a sphere, and then the nearly two-meter-long staff under the staff shrank and folded section by section, and then all of them entered the fold. The gem flower that rose up turned into a flower bone. After finishing all this, Kristina suddenly rotated the flower bones of the gem flower in a circle, and then let go. The gem flower suddenly bloomed, and a handle-like length was formed from the stamen in the center. s things. Kristina held the handle, then lifted it up suddenly, and with a chirp, a bright crystal sword was pulled out from the gem flower.

After getting the crystal sword, Kristina immediately hung it on her back, then grabbed the gem flower with both hands and twisted and pulled it. The gem flower was directly divided into two parts. It wasn't until she opened it and put it on her hand that we discovered it was actually two bracelets with rings attached.

There are five chains on each of these two bracelets, which are connected to five gemstone rings respectively. After putting the bracelets and rings on, there are actually bursts of arcs jumping back and forth on the chains between the rings and bracelets.

"What are you doing?" Ashford asked in surprise as he looked at Kristina's change.

Kristina replied helplessly: "Didn't you say that the magic power is limited in the mission? If I continue to use the staff to release magic, I will definitely run out of magic power quickly, so I switched to melee mode. This way my attack will be closer to the warrior. The attack frequency will decrease, but the magic power consumption will drop even more, which can save magic power. But don't worry, the damage output will not drop, and the combat effectiveness is still guaranteed."

"Then can you cast magic in this mode?"

"Of course. I'm a mage. However, the speed of releasing magic will slow down a little in this mode, and only some ordinary magic can be used, and the ultimate move cannot be used. However, in this mission, the ultimate move is limited anyway, so it's all Same."

After hearing this, Ashford nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the best. I just need your long-range strike ability. If you can't use magic, you might as well not save magic power."

"How is that possible? I am still a mage after all."

Ashford nodded and asked: "Does anyone have anything else to prepare? If not, let's go into the mission?"

"Wait a minute." When Ashford was about to enter the mission, I quickly stopped. "Well, the two people you brought have not been introduced yet. We need to at least get some general information about our companions, right? Otherwise, how can we cooperate?"

"Oh. Look at my brain, I've forgotten all this." Ashford quickly pulled two people over and started introducing them to me.

Before Ashford started to introduce, I took a look at the two players.

These two players are a man and a woman, and their professions are quite easy to recognize. Needless to say, the male player is wearing bright armor, a typical Templar. As for the other female player, this is even more obvious. All in green, plus a long bow and the iconic long

Ears, except the Elf Archer doesn't do what he wants. rq
