Chapter 1026 Prologue

Evely said as she looked at Taoris, obviously what she was going to say was related to the latter.

The young Taoris was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Roddy and said, "Sir, Prime Minister, this matter is just a rumor - it means that there is a...well, 'entry' and other things in the core area of ​​the Imperial City of Esca. Some people speculate that there is a passage to another world below."

"The passage? Where is it? Another world or deeper underground?"

Roddy narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this. He quickly searched for the various races and maps that had appeared in "The Rift" in his memory: the map area of ​​the game was opened with the update of the expansion pack. In the initial version, the Kingdom of Karen was not even fully opened at the beginning. Four months later, the first expansion pack opened the entire kingdom map, and then expanded the entire map of the northern glacier plains and the Tasman Empire and the Naihemian Prairie.

The reason is that this game world is based on the real world proportions. In an era when the scientific level is equal to the medieval era, it is more difficult for players to reach the edge of the map with one pair of legs than to reach the sky. When the level is not enough, not to starve to death and thirst on the road, encountering a high-level wild wolf is a result of death. Therefore, the concept of "map edge" was also accidentally touched by someone after two expansion packs.

Now that I think about it, I guess the purpose of doing this is to save resources from quantum computers.

In a limited world, orcs, elves and undead are the most common races. In addition, Roddy's memory can only think of two of them for a moment.

"Gogun" and "Hallings".

Goblins have appeared in many games and works, and they usually have an abominable image. Roddy remembers that "goblins" are just humanoid species living deep in the forest. Because they can dig tunnels that are dozens of meters deep like groundhogs, they bring the word "ground". In fact, they have big and small figures, but their level of civilization is just about being able to wear clothes and eat some cooked food. They are still far from affecting the civilized race of the Escar country.

As for the "half-lings", it is even more impossible. Unlike the guys who eat 6 meals a day in "The Lord of the Rings", the half-lings in "The Rift" look like monkeys, live in natural caves or crypts, and take it as their responsibility to attack explorers. Most of them can't even wear clothes, which is considered barbaric...

Could it be that there are higher civilizations such as mutated goblins on another continent? Or is it simply a portal for demons?

Seeing Roddy frowning for a long time, Taoris continued to explain: "Prime Minister, we have secretly guessed what it is for a long time. Many people think that Talia's decision is too radical and was caused by others' bewitching. Therefore, when such remarks are rampant, the palace will come out to clarify the rumors, and even invite all major families to walk freely to the palace to prove that this 'entry' does not exist."

Taoris suddenly realized that he shouldn't call Talia "Your Majesty". After changing his words, he looked at Roddy carefully. The latter didn't care about these things at all, but he keenly noticed one of the key points: "I specially asked all major families to deny the rumors? Then it seems that these families in the Eska Kingdom are very powerful, and even the royal family dare not offend easily."

Evely bit her lip and lowered her head and said, "It's true. Prime Minister, I've been almost exempted from most etiquette in front of Talia... And when Talia wants to use soldiers, she must have a ritual with the various patriarchs. Although most patriarchs are on her side, if some of the requests are unreasonable, we patriarchs have room to refuse."

Speaking of "room" rather than "power" is probably just a kind of decency. Roddy inexplicably remembered the power composition of the Qing Dynasty when it first entered the pass on the earth... Obviously, Talia, like Huang Taiji, was not a monarch holding all the guns.

This discovery is worth exploring, but Roddy is more interested in what Taoris called the "entry": "Back to the topic just now, I guess those patriarchs didn't find any substantial evidence when they entered? But what is the basis for your doubts about the existence of this "entry"? It's not just a fool's guess."

"Because...the spells we learn."

Taoris straightened his back slightly: "Although my mentor has not clearly stated where the specific inheritance of the spell of "charming Technique" and "disturbance Technique" comes from, we all know that this kind of spiritual spell has never existed before. It is completely different from divine Technique, and it is also different from schools such as magic circles. It is completely independent spells."

"You mean that the spell system that controls the human heart is different?"

“The principle and use of spell casting are different.”

Doris said and his voice became smaller: "And...there are regulations for the selection of spellcasters."

Roddy looked at her with a shy face and looked at Evely with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is it hard to say?"

Evely coughed dryly and said honestly: "Best Master, if you are a formation master like me, you need to have a specific bloodline to be qualified to study. And Taoris... the first threshold for her to have the qualification to study is - temptation... or, in other words, an extraordinary figure and appearance."

Roddy raised her eyebrows.

"Uh...this is related to the national conditions of Escar." Evely swallowed and quickly passed this part: "Secondly, we have to pass some special tests of temptation resistance. If we fail, we will even lose control when casting this spell. Someone once went crazy when casting."

Having said that, Roddy probably understood why it was difficult for them to speak: spiritual spells do not serve as destruction, and they probably have more functions to control people's hearts. This is similar to those female spies in the Soviet Union who were good at using beauty tricks. Beauty and figure are another weapon, and when combined with spiritual charm spells, their power naturally doubles.

"These spells are very painful when learning. The most important thing is that if you have advanced skills and reach a certain level, you will enter a mysterious state-" Taoruis pointed to his head: "This is called 'promotion' by the mentor. In this mental state, you will feel like you are floating around as if you are out of your body. I was promoted not far from the imperial city. When I was happy, I found a strange suction force pulling me towards the position below the imperial city..."

She said for no reason: "There seems to be a very strange power, and there are strange whispers in her ears, but she doesn't understand what she says at all, and it seems that I don't know the language. And this state quickly disappeared, and after getting rid of it... I never had a similar experience again."

Roddy nodded slowly, the evidence was enough to confirm something.

After asking some details, Roddy felt that there was still a lot of things worth exploring in Escar. I guess I couldn't finish it in a while, so he asked them to go to have a meal first and continue talking in the afternoon.

He got up and planned to go and have lunch with Sally, but the guards directly informed him: "Prime Minister, Ambassador Mislan is asking for a meeting."

A sentence was added later: "He looks a little anxious and his head is covered in sweat."

"Let him come."
