Chapter 715 The Bloody Resentment Window (IV)
Although I don’t know what happened behind the two windows, what happened to the mural a few seconds ago is already very illustrative. According to Mo Tan's judgment is that although the acting of the monster hidden in the painting is a little bit poor, it is still quite strong in terms of strength.
You must know that the [Diana's Dowry·Crystal Heart] on his left index finger is a good thing that can make the wearer immune to mental attacks, mental control and other means to a great extent, but Mo Tan failed He still couldn't help but raise his hands when the monster tried to control him. Although he soon counteracted the control with extreme perseverance, it also proved from the side that the monster ambushing in the oil painting was not weak.
To be able to make Mo Tan, who is protected by the Crystal Heart, lose control for just a second or two, his level of strength must be at least that of an existence with half a foot in the epic realm, even if this haunted house is the home of that thing. , the level of that monster will definitely not be lower than the high-level peak.
Some people may think this is a bit exaggerated. After all, Mo Tan is just a quasi-first-class high-level player who has not even made it into the top 100 of the personal combat power rankings. His actual strength is only a little stronger than Yu Ying. Limited, why can't even a half-step epic monster defeat him?
If you put it this way, what about those guys in the top ten of the rankings, such as Futaba? Autumn, Awakening of the Dragon, etc., aren’t they all already either epics or legends? And the question mark brother who ranks at the top of the double list, will he be so fortress that he can overturn the entire continent?
Of course it cannot be like this~
Because this account cannot be calculated like this.
First of all, from the perspective of the character Tan Mo, although this guy is now just a level 1 thief who has just entered the high-level threshold, in terms of overall strength, including talents and equipment, he is actually more Better than most people who have just stepped into the high-level threshold
For example, the [Only Epic] quality equipment, the [Diana's Dowry Crystal Heart] in Mo Tan's hand is very fortress, and the staff [Wither] that Idong just bought last week Hand] is just average, not even as powerful as some sophisticated or even excellent weapons.
Many people know that in the game Innocence, powerful equipment must be of high quality, but high-quality equipment may not be very powerful.
To give the simplest example, a [Silver Scale Breastplate] with 5 gold coins that can be worn by any physical melee profession over level 20, with excellent quality, is definitely not as good as at least You have to be level 45 to meet the basic equipment requirements and only have excellent quality [high-level Paladin standard plate armor].
Similarly, epic equipment that can be used at level 10 is naturally not as good as epic equipment that can be used at least level 50.
Of course, equipment above the level of unique and sophisticated will have some characteristics, and many characteristics are extremely cost-effective and may not be replaced for months or even a year or two, such as 'Fire damage increased by 20%', 'No need to breathe when diving', 'Physical energy recovery speed will not decrease after entering combat state', etc.
But in most cases, people will still choose 'advanced' equipment instead of 'high-quality' equipment. Among other things, a low-level high-quality equipment with a 'higher' attack power , it is basically impossible to cut down a high-end ordinary quality equipment with a 'medium' attack power.
Of course, this problem is not impossible to solve. If you really like a piece of equipment, there are many ways to improve its quality. The simplest way is to collect some precious materials and find a craftsman to recast it. However, because of the cost-effectiveness of these methods It is usually very low and not universal. In addition, there is too much and complicated knowledge in related aspects, so I won’t explain it here. For specific examples, please refer to Ji Xiaodao’s sword that was once called [Black Curse Rapier] The sword [Curse].
In short, there are exactly two pieces of equipment on Mo Tan that have extremely excessive effects and whose theoretical equipment level is much higher than his actual level. They are the ring on his left hand [Diana's Dowry·Crystal Heart] and the special equipment. Equipment [Diana's Dowry·Talasha's Handmade Earrings], these two pieces of equipment have both attributes and special characteristics. The quality is much higher than Mo Tan's current level. If he switches to other equipment of the same quality, even if he can get it, he will never be able to equip it. However.
Because of the above two pieces of equipment (noun) )'s equipment (verb) conditions are: 'Diana A. Azizolti's Lover', so Motan can really wear it.
As a result, with the powerful characteristics of the crystal heart in his left hand, Mo Tan was able to withstand the mental interference of the oil painting monster with an almost immune attitude, and he was able to throw the latter out after a few seconds. Thunder.
This gives rise to two new questions.
First of all, why is it that Mo Tan, who is carrying two oxen as a dowry, still fails to make it into the top 100 in the combat power rankings?
This is actually very easy to explain. To put it more bluntly, everyone ranked above him has a stronger theoretical strength than the character 'Tan Mo'.
You must know that encountering various adventures in Innocence is not the privilege of the protagonist or important characters. This game with a player base of tens of millions has been in operation for more than half a year. Various powerful There are many such cases, including world tasks, advanced tasks, etc. There are many players who have achieved great results from the service chain, treasures, and old man with white beard, and everyone who can be ranked in the top 100 will have a game trajectory that is not much less exciting than Mo Tan's individual personality. Wearing equipment across levels is not a problem at all.
Another question is why the oil painting monster that is guaranteed to have a half-step epic level will appear in this mission. You must know that with Yuying’s current strength, the mission [Blood Resentment Fills the Window] is on the panel. The difficulty of the task has already changed from 'extremely dangerous' three months ago to 'higher', which is even lower than the difficulty of the task when she first did [Nightingale's Song]. Under this premise, this time It's a bit unscientific for a monster with such strength to appear in a haunted house.
The answer is very simple, that is, this monster with some exceptional strength is not actually the enemy of the two uninvited guests, Yu Ying and Mo Tan. Of course, it does have the possibility of becoming an enemy and completing a double kill. , but it is only a possibility. In fact, as long as it does not touch the minefield, the monster hidden in the oil painting will basically remain neutral. If the person doing the task is smooth enough, he can even persuade it to become a companion, and then Significantly reduces the difficulty of this task.
You know, there are only two tasks in the mission [Blood Resentment Fills the Window], which are to 'find out the secret of Jingyu Manor' and 'successfully arrive at the piano room', and who is trapped in this haunted house does not know The long-standing monster naturally knows that 'secret', so as long as it is willing, it can directly help Yuying complete half of the task.
But
Under the premise that Yu Ying was already frightened, she first focused on Mo Tan.
There is no doubt that this is a huge mistake for this unlucky monster!
It didn't expect that this young man who didn't seem to be very strong could ignore his most proud mental control, nor did he expect that this guy would throw himself out when 'that' appeared, let alone When you put down your body and seek cooperation, you will be ruthlessly rejected, and eventually die a violent death
Until the moment before it died, it couldn't figure out why that guy would just watch the person who could definitely help him die. What did the phrase "Bibi, Bibi, Bibi" mean in the end?
And what exactly is Mo Tan thinking?
This is a long story
Anyway, to briefly summarize, although he immediately figured out that the oil painting monster could provide a lot of help to himself and Yuying, it also I knew that I could easily rescue it based on my position and angle, but because the expression and demeanor of this guy when he was playing himself were really not up to par, and he didn't show any charm at all, I just let him die.
As for whether the difficulty of the mission will soar after this guy is finished, and whether he and Yu Ying will encounter greater and more exciting dangers, Mo Tan doesn't really care.
Very willful.
But being willful, Mo Tan was still so obedient as to stand between the two windows at this moment. He had no idea of leaning out to take a look, he was just interested. He looked at Yuying, who was still squatting in defense not far away with his head in his arms.
Although I don’t know how the big bull fuck outside the window managed to kill the oil painting monster, based on Mo Tan’s preliminary judgment, the big guy’s attack method most likely needs to be ‘seen’ and ‘noted’ ' or 'observed' the target, so I was fine standing in the blind corner, but the oil painting that was thrown out was ruined.
In this case, the chance of being discovered by Yuying, who is squatting with his head in the middle of the hall, is naturally close to 100%.
That is to say
The smile on the corner of Mo Tan's mouth grew stronger, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the [Soothing Lamp] beside Yu Ying flickering violently, and then
the thin moonlight illuminated the little bit in the air Dust, the shadow that covered the entire first floor didn't seem to have any intention of striking a double kill while the iron was hot, and left quietly. "Sure enough, that lantern is also a great help."
Mo Tan smacked his lips, then walked briskly to the completely dead oil painting a few meters away. Beside the monster, he looked curiously at the thin skeleton floating in a pool of blood.
“It’s a baby.”
He stretched out his hand to poke the little skeleton and said with a smile: "And it's the kind that died before it was born. No wonder it's so powerful."
Not far away, it seemed that Mo was heard. Yuying's body trembled violently as Tan was muttering to himself, but she still firmly maintained her position of crouching on guard with her head in her arms. She curled up on the spot and closed her eyes tightly. She didn't raise her head or speak. She didn't even send any messages to her friends. One piece.
“Don’t worry, I’m watching you.”
Mo Tan, who was a little regretful that Yu Ying had not been turned into a scumbag by the boss outside the window, smiled and casually comforted her. He walked slowly to a place diagonally opposite the former, looked at the other two windows on this floor with the increasingly clear 'tick-tock' sound in his ears, and then sat down slowly behind a long table lying horizontally, quietly Waiting.
A moment later
Although his body was covered by the wooden table, Mo Tan still made a judgment based on the changes in the surrounding moonlight.
After 3 minutes and 15 seconds, the boss whom he could never offend appeared again. He should be located at the window not far to his right.
The faint light behind him flashed, and it seemed that he had blocked Yu Ying from some fatal power.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The voice in the back of my mind is still ringing, but it seems to have become much faster.
Half a minute later, the shadow dissipated, and the two huge and cloudy eyes blinked lightly and quickly disappeared out of the window.
Mo Tan, who judged this fact based on the change in light, quickly rushed out from behind the table at the same time, moving in the first-floor hall with rapid strides, and casually passing by the windows several times. He closed the curtains, not caring at all about making the already bleak and alarming environment even more eerie.
Three minutes later, Mo Tan returned to the previous table, and after silently reciting a few numbers, he unexpectedly waited until the untouchable boss appeared again, and this time it The location where he appeared was behind the window less than two meters away from Mo Tan, and after looking around aimlessly for half a minute, he mysteriously disappeared for the third time.
【If I guessed correctly, based on the frequency of the 'tick' sound and the number of windows on the first floor, there should be about eight and a half minutes of 'safety time' left.】
Mo Tan continued to rush out from behind the table without hesitation, quickly confirming whether there was any abnormality in the hall he was in compared to before, and tentatively pushed the way he came, but as expected, he couldn't. open.
[To be precise, it should be seven and a half minutes, because there are still two 30-second rest periods, so the plot kill is not bad. Is it worthy of being an epic quest chain?]
Mo Tan Da Yawning, he casually took out a reagent bottle filled with dark red particles. The moment the pair of eyes that could definitely stare him to death disappeared, he rushed to the door and filled one of the reagent bottles. Knocked on the dusty oil lamp.
Suddenly, with a burst of bright flames, the oil lamp that was definitely scrapped just by looking at it glowed again.
"If this layer cannot be restored to its original state within the specified time."
Mo Tan threw the full reagent bottle into the air, then quickly pulled it out and hung it on his waist The [Yaoxie] on the side swung hard, and the moment it shattered the bottle of potion, it cut out a fire mark in mid-air, and then walked slowly towards the wall, laughing in a low voice: "As long as that thing that I don't know what it is covers all the windows, or that lively and cute ticking sound is no longer distorted at all, this mission will probably be over."
He has no doubt that as long as the above situation occurs, he and Yu Ying will definitely be killed by force majeure in a short time.
"But it doesn't matter~"
He leaned lazily by a window, looking at a total of five oil lamps lit up with the firelight, his expression calm and indifferent.
The next second, two huge eyes appeared beside him.
“This kind of bridge that you can get through with recklessness is simply for nothing.”
