Battling with Air
Chapter 3
Allen put the corpse he picked up on the stone bed and fell into deep thought.
He found this under the waterfall when he went down the river.
At first, Allen didn't notice it, but when he got closer, he realized that it was a corpse.
However, Allen didn't care about this. Strangely, he didn't feel anything now. He even had the thought that it was a corpse.
Was it because Ulbert was a demon, so he didn't feel anything for humans?
Allen's mood was a little strange. His eyes fell on the corpse on the stone bed again.
That strange blue fire seemed to be destroying this body. Even though Alan had extinguished it, judging from the state of the body, it should have been burning for some time.
So at this moment, this person's appearance was a little scary. There was almost no good skin on his body, and even some bones were exposed in some places.
Allen thought that if it were any other time, he would have panicked.
That was not an ordinary flame. Allen himself was a demon mage who specialized in fire. He had all the knowledge about fire magic in his mind.
The flame attached to this person's body was more like a kind of spontaneous combustion from the inside to the outside, until all the energy in his body was burned out. In the end, nothing would be left, so ordinary water could not extinguish it.
Suicide?
Or was it a skill of the people in this world?
"Advanced Skill Appraisal."
The magic didn't respond. It seemed to be an ability unique to this world.
Allen thought and raised his hand again.
"Advanced Profession Appraisal."
Still no reaction.
After a stalemate, Allen withdrew his hand. It seemed that the power system of this world was different from that of YGGDRASIL. A simple Class Identification spell couldn't identify their abilities.
He had a resurrection item in his hand, [Resurrection Short Staff], but should he use it?
Allen hesitated. At present, this person didn't seem to be an ordinary person. What if he couldn't control him after he was resurrected?
Allen tossed the Resurrection Short Staff in his hand and swiped through his long inventory, looking for a suitable item. It would be best to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Setting Scroll?"
Allen's fingertips paused, and he took the scroll out of his backpack.
This item didn't come from the system shop, but from the guild store.
In YGGDRASIL, after creating a guild, the guild shop would be opened as the guild leveled up.
The items sold in this shop were different from the items sold in the System Marketplace. From Guild Decorations to Guild Guards, everything was available.
Among them, the special item [Race Scroll] provided by the Guild Shop was required for the class advancement of the player's race.
The guild shop would release a [Race Scroll] that was unique to the faction that the guild had chosen.
For example, Nasarik's Race Faction was a Mutant. Therefore, the Guild Store only sold Mutant [Race Scrolls] and other special items.
However, the Guild Guards available in the Guild Shop were relatively low-leveled and could be summoned indefinitely. Only, there was a limit to the number of Guild Guards that could be summoned at any one time.
As for high-tiered NPC Guardians, players could customize them.
The strength of these NPCs also determined the strength of the Guild.
In YGGDRASIL, the NPCs had the ability to face the enemy.
As long as one was willing to put in the effort, NPCs would not necessarily be weaker than players.
The general situation in the game was that if ordinary players were to fight 1v1, they would generally not be as strong as the full-leveled Guild Guards.
To put it bluntly, as long as one was willing to spend money and had enough high-level items, a high-level Guardian NPC would be no different from a player except that they could not be brought out of the guild.
The [Setting Scroll] was used to activate the template dolls provided by the system when creating guild NPCs.
Editing settings was the foundation of an NPC's creation.
If it worked, it might be a good choice.
Allen was a little tempted. None of his seven main dependents were in human form. If he wanted to move around as a human, it would be a good choice to have a loyal helper.
He just didn't know if it would work.
After all, this was a human corpse and not an NPC template doll provided by the Guild System.
He had the mentality that it would be a waste if he didn't try and keep it.
Allen threw the magic scroll in his hand.
A pale white magic circle unfolded above the corpse. Then, the setting window popped up like in the game.
Eh?
It seemed to work.
Allen clicked on the editable system window. Did it turn the corpse into an inanimate doll by default?
Looking at the blank setting window, Allen touched his chin and began to input. First, loyalty. This had to be guaranteed.
Considering that Momoga said that NPCs would have their own logic and way of thinking, Allen looked at his -500 justice value and tried to increase the character's justice value as much as possible.
However, this setting scroll was a double phantom race scroll. It belonged to the evil faction of the game, so the highest it could be pulled was neutral.
Allen didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If it was neutral, it would be more flexible.
As long as it had intelligence, it meant that it could be guided appropriately.
He finished writing a few key settings. As for the other details, he couldn't edit them in too much detail. He wasn't a setting maniac like Tabula.
Thinking of the last words that Dimiougos and Mudusa said to him, Allen shamelessly continued to write.
[Our Beloved Creator]
He clicked confirm.
Seeing that the setting scroll was completely submerged into the corpse, Allen began to rub his hands together. Next was to create the form!
A minute passed.
There was no reaction.
Ten minutes passed.
Allen scratched his head. Did it fail?
Looking at the motionless corpse, Allen thought that the spell should have failed. As expected, there was no way to fool the system's setting scroll.
Looking at the resurrection short staff in his hand, Allen hesitated. Should he revive him?
This was a person who lived in this world. If he did, he could at least get a lot of information from him.
"Dark Prison."
This was Alan's strongest Tier 10 Imprisonment Spell, second only to a Supreme Spell.
Just in case, Allen buried a few attack spells around him and took out the world item [Extreme Conversion].
A month before the game stopped operating, prices burst like a bubble. Many precious items that weren't bound to the game were put up for sale in the Exchange Hall. Before the game stopped operating, one could get as much as they could. One could even buy a rare item for the price of a bottle of soda. As for pets, no one was interested.
Allen was a collector. Although he knew that these items would no longer have any meaning after the game was shut down, he still collected some.
Without exception, these items had made him suffer a great loss in the hands of the enemy, or he couldn't get them at the time.
He didn't lack money himself. Buying them was also a way to commemorate the lost memories.
In addition, a group of friends and relatives who used to play the arena left all their inheritance to him after they retired. The resources he had in his hands were not small.
For example, the [Extreme Conversion] in his hand was the only item that a group of guild alliance players used when they fought to the seventh floor of the great tomb of Nasarik. With the help of absolute damage conversion, they broke through the defense system of the demon commander on the seventh floor.
However, even if they used this item, the special mechanism of Nasarik's eighth floor still wiped them out.
If this didn't work, then he could only use teleportation to escape.
Putting the [Extreme Conversion] bracelet on his wrist, Allen clenched his weapon, Night Whisper, and then used the resurrection short staff.
A milky white light was injected into the burned body.
The bones and smooth skin of the body were reconstructed. Unexpectedly, it was a young boy.
Black hair, looking at his face, he was about 18 years old.
The probability of a child of this age being involved in trouble was not high. But why did he burn himself under the waterfall?
Could it be that he committed suicide out of love?
Before Allen could think about it, the resurrected person had slowly opened his eyes.
Allen suddenly became nervous.
The black-haired boy seemed to be a little confused. He looked at his palm and then looked around.
When his gaze fell on Allen, who was fully armed and alert, he paused.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
This was also the flaw of the [Resurrection Short Staff]. Although it could reconstruct the body in a short time, it would also wash the body into a new state. Whether it was speaking or moving, it would take some time to adapt to the spirit.
At the same time, it would lose a lot of level and experience, which would need to be replenished later.
After trying twice and failing to stand up, the naked boy forced himself to kneel down on one knee. Under his crotch was the big baby that Allen envied.
— What's so great about it? I'm not envious at all!
I have it too, I used to have it too!
"Master."
The boy put one hand on his heart and lowered his head, extremely humble.
This kind of kneeling seemed to be the default setting of the Guardian NPC system.
It was applicable to all races.
Huh?
Is this the setting scroll working?
Allen was stunned for a few seconds. So it was only effective when he was resurrected?
Allen was a little worried, so he used the identification spell.
"Advanced Profession Appraisal."
Race Level: Double Phantom Level 1, Class Level: Other Level 39, Overall: Level 40
What the hell was this Other Level?!
Allen was shocked. Could it be that his original power in this world was converted after reincarnation?
"Information."
"Information."
Allen immediately reported the situation to Momoga.
"Huh?
There's such a thing?
I haven't tested it yet … "Momoga said that she would find a chance to test it and let Allen pay attention to the follow-up. Finally, she reminded him," By the way, Allen, you have to be careful.
This boy's rank is Level 39 after the [Resurrection Short Staff] erased part of his level. There may be enemies beyond our ability to fight where you are, so you have to be careful. "
Momoga was used to preparing for the worst. This was also a habit that he had developed when he was in business.
The situation that his friend encountered made him extremely worried. He had no family in reality, nor did he have good friends. Allen was the friend that had been with him for the longest time.
"In short, you have to be careful first. Don't expose your identity.
Then find a way to get some information.
I will also find a way to act on my side. "
Allen pretended to be relaxed and comforted him. He said a few words, but his heart was not relaxed.
After turning off the communication, he found that the boy was still kneeling quietly with his head down.
Not good!
I forgot about him!
After removing the Dark Prison, Allen took out a cloak and put it on him.
It wasn't that he was stingy, but the appearance in this account was all lolita. He couldn't let a 1.8 meter tall boy wear a 1.2 meter lolita's clothes, right?
After pondering for a while, Alan went to the System Shop to look around. He steeled his heart and spent 1,000 gold coins to buy the most ordinary male human appearance that he could afford.
Alan had chosen the most low-key set of thin black shirt and trousers. The awesome system had thoughtfully given him the same set of underwear after materializing all the outer appearances, so he didn't have to worry about whether it would fit or not.
He just didn't know what the style of clothing in this world was, so it was better to cover it with the cloak first. It would be easier to change later.
After the boy changed, Allen was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to set a name for him.
But after all, this was different from the game. He was not a standard doll, but a human with a "past."
"What's your name?" Allen pretended to ask casually.
The boy was sluggish for a moment and showed a blank expression on his face. "My … my name?"
The boy's expression gradually became painful. "No …"
Is there a problem?
Allen thought for a moment and asked the boy to sit on the ground first. The lolita's human form was not tall, only 1.2 meters, and he really couldn't afford to hurt him.
"Memory Reading."
This Spell was a skill that could be purchased for 10,000 Gold after completing a quest. Its only use was to review the storyline of the game. Moreover, it was only Rank 1. Moreover, it would lose its effect if it encountered a False Information Scroll. It was extremely useless.
Many people felt that it was more economical to buy a few more bottles of recovery potions and magic scrolls with 10,000 gold. A False Intelligence Scroll was only 100 gold.
But now this spell was simply a godly one.
Sure enough, because of the False Intelligence Scroll, the boy's memories were shattered.
Allen simply extracted all the boy's remaining memories. After all, if this continued, they would most likely be erased by the False Intelligence Scroll. Maybe they would come in handy in the future.
"You're called Shisui?"
The boy's memories were very messy. Because he was not the person involved, Allen could only read the boy's name. As for those scenes, only the owner of the memories would know what they meant.
Originally, he had hoped to get some useful information from the boy, but now it seemed impossible.
"Then you'll be called by this name."
Allen's attitude was very gentle. After giving the boy a name, he had to raise him well.
The Tier 2 Phantom was a very special profession. This race was born with the ability to imitate and transform.
The boy's appearance should have been affected by the body as a template, so the original image of the boy was maintained as the prototype of the race.
"Also, you don't have to call me master. You can call me Urbet or Allen. I don't think I have such a strange setting."
The last sentence was muttered by Allen himself. It felt strange for a human to call him master!
He could be considered the first companion he had created in this world.
Moreover, this person was only about the same age as his third son, his younger brother Ming.
"Yes." The boy obeyed.
Allen was suddenly very curious. If Shisui had forgotten about his life, then he wouldn't have forgotten all the skills of his other professions that were judged to be Lv39 by the system, right?
"Oh right, do you remember all your skills?"
"I remember all of them."
This was still acceptable. At the very least, he could understand the power system from Shisui. As for the other things, he could think of a way to ask others.
However, this Lv40 was indeed a little weak. One had to know that his seven spawns were at least Lv90, and the highest was Lv95.
Not to mention the max level Dimiougos and Mudusa.
Thinking of this, Allen took out the Race Class Change Scroll.
This type of Class Change Scroll was not for players to use. The players' Class Change and level up were all provided by the system.
This type of Race Scroll was provided by the Guild Shop, while Class Scrolls were provided by the System Shop.
It was used to level up the NPCs in the Guild.
Originally, he had planned to make Mudusa into an Assassin type Guardian and had prepared some things for this. However, under Momoga's reminder, he considered that Dimiougos would be the commander of the NPCs in the Guild War. Moreover, his spawns were three strong and agility-type spawns.
Therefore, he changed the direction of Mudusa's leveling. He upgraded her with powerful control skills and defensive skills. He walked the path of balanced support, which made up for many of the weaknesses that Dimiougos couldn't take care of in terms of attack and defense.
He didn't have many Race Scrolls from the Guild Shop, but he could exchange for Class Scrolls from the System Shop.
He was a man with the System Shop!
