Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 310 The Poisoned Prophecy

Still the same sentence, Liu Xing has always felt that the magic in the Cthulhu running game is basically useless, because these magics are either used under harsh conditions, the success rate is not high, or the effect is not satisfactory.

For example, the fireball technique used by Shi Chuanling now sounds pretty good, because in many fantasy novels or movies and TV series, the fireball technique can be said to have a very high appearance rate and the effect is not bad.

However, because this is the world of the Cthulhu running game, the fireball technique is very tasteless.

First of all, Liu Xing can now see that the fireball technique requires a certain amount of casting time, and for an apprentice-level magician like Shi Chuanling, the effect of the fireball technique is almost the same as that of a lighter. . .

The most important thing is that the upper limit of the development of fireball is still too low, because even as a magician named in the Cthulhu Mythos worldview, the power of fireball in Serac's hand is equivalent to a grenade. To be honest, this power is really not good.

And don't forget, the background of the Cthulhu running game is basically modern, so Liu Xing can now find a relationship to get a batch of grenades, pistols and so on. No matter how you say these modern weapons are more convenient and faster than fireball.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Ishi Chuanling's fireball technique could only be described as tasteless, because judging from the current game rhythm, when Ishi Chuanling could have the same strength as his cheap master Serak, he would have already organized a team of private armed forces by then.

Of course, Yin En also understands this, and can see that Liu Xing is perfunctory, or comforting himself, but since "Ishi Chuan Ling" doesn't know this, and is still proud of being a magician, Yin En can only choose to ignore this point.

"Okay, now I'm going to show you my last spell. Although this spell won't have any real effect, it's very powerful. So, are you interested in guessing what the last spell I learned is?" Ishikawa Ling said with a smile.

Liu Xing frowned. Judging from Ishi Chuan Ling's description, the last spell that Ishi Chuan Ling learned from the magician Serac might not be easy.

Therefore, Liu Xing said with great interest: "Oh, it seems that Shi Chuanling, have you found a treasure from the magician Serac? Let me guess. If the spell you learned will not cause substantial effects, it means that the spell you learned will not be offensive spells such as fireball and ice arrows, nor auxiliary spells such as ice armor and restoration. Like mind reading or something."

The reason why Liu Xing guessed that Ishi Chuan Ling learned mind reading is because mind reading is a relatively low-level spell, which is more compatible with the light ball and fire ball that Ishi Chuan Ling has mentioned, and the mind reading is also very consistent with Ishi Chuan Ling's introduction just now.

However, Shi Chuanling shook his head and pretended to be mysterious and said: "Master, you guessed wrong, and you underestimated me too much. I don't even bother to learn such low-level spells as mind reading. After all, learning mind reading is not as good as I went to university to study psychology, so I will reveal the answer now. In fact, the last spell I learned from the magician Serac is the legendary prophecy!"

Divination? !

Liu Xing frowned, and looked at Shi Chuanling in surprise.

You must know that no matter what game you are in, prophecy can be said to be the top spell. Although prophecy cannot produce any substantial effects, it can almost make the caster invincible just because it can make people predict what will happen in the future in advance.

Even in the Cthulhu running game, as long as there is no existence of Nyarlathotep's level to disrupt the situation, Ishikawa Ling, who can predict the future, basically doesn't have to worry about being torn off, because Ishikawa Ling can predict in each module, what he should do to pass the level, and how he would not trigger the plot kill.

Of course, this is only in the most ideal situation. In fact, Ishikawa Ling definitely cannot achieve a 100% prediction success rate, and Ishikawa Ling will not have so many MPs to perform enough predictions.

But then again, as long as Shi Chuanling can successfully perform a prophecy at a critical moment in a module, it will be considered a steady profit.

Therefore, what Liu Xing wants to know most now is what level of prophecy is the prophecy that Shi Chuanling learned from the magician Selak. After all, even if it is a spell with the same name, because the creator of the spell is different, the specific effect of the spell will be different.

Therefore, Liu Xing asked with great anticipation: "Since this is the case, what is the success rate of Shi Chuanling's prophecy? Do you want to predict it now?"

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Shi Chuanling smiled awkwardly, and said with a tangled face: "Well, you should be able to guess, actually, Master. After all, I have just become a magician, so my strength is just like that. To say that I am not good at learning is to flatter me, because I have only learned this prophecy for a few hours. Therefore, although I should be able to use prophecy now, I cannot guarantee the success rate of prophecy, or I don't know whether the result of prophecy is correct."

While talking, Shi Chuanling sent Liu Xing the introduction of the prophecy.

Prophecy (Serak version), a prophecy developed by Serac, the master of Eibon, after receiving the guidance of the old ruler--Satogua, but because this prophecy is still in the most basic version, the effect is open to question. Therefore, when using this prophecy, the player will consume 5 MP and sing a spell that lasts for 50 minutes.

. . .

Liu Xing looked at the introduction of this prophecy, with black lines all over his head.

To put it simply, this prophecy is basically a sinkhole, a complete black box operation, because the success rate of this prophecy is not even marked.

In other words, to put it bluntly, this prophecy is a secret casting all the way, and it only gives you one result for you to guess. From a certain point of view, this prophecy is useless at all.

But still the same sentence, although Liu Xing and Yin En, as players, can deduce from the introduction of this prophecy that this prophecy has little practical use, but "Ishi Chuan Ling" doesn't know, so now Yin En plays "Ishi Chuan Ling", and he is complacent because he has learned such a powerful spell as prophecy.

See through but not tell.

Moreover, Liu Xing was able to extract a piece of information that is either important or not important from the introduction of this prophecy, that is, at this time, the magician Serak has mixed with Satogua

The reason why this information is not important is because this information is meaningless to Liu Xing, because Liu Xing thinks that he will not meet with the magician Serak and Satorgua; and this information is important, of course it is for Yin En, because now it can be asserted that the world mission that Yin En accepted must be related to Satorgua.

At the beginning, Liu Xing felt that Yin En's world mission should be related to Eibon, either to become friends with Eibon, or to replace Eibon. Now it seems that Yin En's world mission is still inseparable from Satogua.

And Liu Xing is also struggling with a problem now, that is his world mission, whether he will come into contact with Cthulhu or Hasta in the end. After all, his enemy is a follower of Cthulhu, and "he" is a follower of Hasta, so it is possible to finally come into contact with Cthulhu and Hasta. . . Or contact Cthulhu and Hasta at the same time. . .

Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that he had better not think so far, because it was a bit unfounded to worry about. After all, if he wanted to see Mr. Ke, he had to at least enter the Cthulhu area, and now whether he could advance to the Hound of Tindalos area was a problem.

Therefore, Liu Xing shook his head, and said to Ishi Chuan Ling: "Uh, Ishi Chuan Ling, you still need to try this prophecy before you know the effect, so if you don't wait until you have breakfast, you can try it out and predict how Matsui Yui will deal with us."

As soon as Shi Chuanling heard what Liu Xing said, he immediately became confident, patted his chest and said: "Well, since you have said so, the leader, I will try this prophecy later, but according to my master Serak, this prophecy requires a very long spell, so it takes about an hour to prepare, and then I need you, the leader, to cover me."

Just as Liu Xing was about to nod, he heard footsteps going downstairs. It seemed that Dogo Eiger had brought Panda Pig and Alice downstairs.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs first, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Duo Geiger and Alice." Liu Xing said.

After all, it's a bit weird to be alone and widowed in the same room.

Ever since, Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling went downstairs together after hearing that Doge and Eiger had arrived in the living room on the first floor.

At this time, the living room on the first floor was already full of people, and Zhang Jingxu, Lu Tianya, and Miyako Indus, who came down first, sat at the outermost edge of the table in a tacit understanding, forming a wall with their bodies, blocking Dogo Eiger and Alice from seeing the brazier.

Of course, Duo Geiger and Alice didn't find anything abnormal about the brazier, so they didn't stay in the living room for a long time, and left directly after talking to Liu Xing and others casually.

After Dogo Eiger and Alice left, everyone expressed great interest in Ishi Chuan Ling who had just returned, and asked Ishi Chuan Ling what happened in Xiberia.

Ever since, Ishikawa Ling took out the lighter and said to Panda Pig: "Mr. Panda Pig, thank you very much this time. When I was forcibly summoned to Syberrill, I happened to be holding your lighter in my hand. I didn't expect this lighter to bring me great help, or it saved my life!"

Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect that a lighter could save Shi Chuanling's life, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing seemed to have guessed the function of this lighter.

Ishikawa Ling continued: "The situation is like this. When I returned to Sybril, it was in the evening. As soon as I recovered, I was called to the cafeteria by a friend next to me. There, my cheap master Serac was giving a speech. The content of the speech was the start of the first round of elimination in the Mage Tower, and the content of the elimination was very simple, that is, Serac began to teach us the fireball technique."

Speaking of this, Ishi Chuanling used the fireball technique, and no one sneezed this time, so the little fireball in Ishikawaling's hand still looked like that.

Of course, Ishi Chuanling also knew that his little fireball was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, so in order to avoid accidents, Ishikawa Ling automatically extinguished the little fireball.

Then, Ishikawa Ling continued: "Although I learned the spell of fireball at the beginning, I was too nervous at the time, so I have not been able to use fireball. After all, this round of elimination will eliminate half of the apprentices, and according to my previous guesses with Meteor and the others, the eliminated apprentices are likely to become experiments for Serac's magic research. Basically, they are lifeless."

"Because of too much psychological pressure, many of my attempts ended in failure, and the apprentice named Eibon who sat next to me was the first to successfully perform the fireball technique, which made me even more upset. After all, this is like conducting a very important exam, and it is still limited to only the first candidates who successfully hand in the paper to pass, so when you are still thinking about doing the paper, someone handed in the paper ahead of time in front of you, which will definitely make you upset, worrying that the next candidates will be one after another Hand in the paper."

"So, at that time, I could say that my mentality had exploded. I was thinking that if I couldn't come back here, would you be implicated because of my sudden disappearance? Just when I was thinking about things, I found a lighter in my pocket."

"At that time, I almost laughed out loud, because the goal of this knockout round was to use fireball, but because the power of fireball used by magician apprentices is very limited, so we put some dry grass that is easy to ignite in front of us apprentices. As long as these dry grass is ignited, the fireball is considered to be successfully used."

"So, I found a suitable time. When no one noticed me, I used a lighter to ignite the dry grass, and then pretended that I had successfully used the fireball technique, successfully hiding Serak. However, everyone knows that there will always be some noise when using a lighter, so I was noticed by Eibon."
