Chereads / Final Summon of Warcraft / Chapter 2 - The Book of Truth (2)

Chapter 2 - The Book of Truth (2)

Carrying the acceleration of gravity falling from a height of several thousand meters and the weight of a one-foot-thick heavy metal book, it pierced the skull of the magic wolf at once, and the corner of the book of truth touched the magic core of the magic source of the magic wolf in the brain. , in an instant, the light of the body lit up, and all the energy of this fourth-order magic core, which is valuable in human society, was absorbed and dissipated into light spots.

After returning to the main material world of the unknown universe, the Book of Truth, which had been silent for many years, received energy supplementation for the first time, and instantly restored and turned on some of the divine artifact functions.

Scanned the existence of a humanoid high-level intelligent creature with critically endangered life nearby, it should be the human race in this world, and it belongs to the adolescent stage with the highest plasticity, so the soul imprint of the creature was extracted immediately, and the contractor, also It was the fusion of the soul of the nominal owner of the sacred artifact, the Book of Truth, and put it into the human mind.

After that, most of the remaining power of the fourth-order Warcraft crystal core was used to repair all the injuries of the target body, and then the spirit of the artifact fell into silence again as the body was thrown into the host's soul space.

Half an hour later, the soul and the body were completely integrated, and after waking up from the darkness, Donald knew that he was no longer in the original world.

After some panic, Donald, who had integrated the memory of the previous body owner, knew his environment and the dangerous situation. Due to the pressure of survival, he quickly calmed down and walked cautiously towards the town for a long time before he was completely embarrassed. back to his home.

His current identity is that of a seventeen-year-old noble boy, but he is not the kind of playful aristocrat who can spend money like land and run rampant.

As a destitute aristocrat with a downtrodden family, the Melina family has only Donald, the only heir.

Although the Melina family has the noble status of a hereditary knight, it is only an honorary title. The family's fief has been lost several generations ago, and the remaining property and manor have been sold almost one after another. If it weren't for the support of two mills and a product workshop at home, the life of the nobles could not be maintained at all. Not long after Donald was born, his father fell into the trap of a villain, and his last support was also taken away. His father, who had lost his wealth and status, could not bear the ridicule of the small nobles and wealthy businessmen who were not as good as his own, and became furious. Died of a sudden illness.

The down-and-out life made Donald's weak mother die a few years ago. Now, the only thing Donald has is an old house in a civilian area and an equally lonely and poor old servant who raised him faithfully.

Before the age of eighteen, an aristocratic heir like him would not be able to obtain a formal knighthood. If it was a wealthy noble family with territorial support and estates such as manor, it would be fine. This is not in a hurry. However, Donald is in a poor and white situation, with no territory below and no background above. If he cannot obtain the knighthood, he will be deprived of his noble status, and he will not be able to inherit the knighthood that his family has inherited for nearly three hundred years.

Once you lose your aristocratic status, it's almost impossible to get it back. Without this status, the opportunity to join the army or find an errand under other nobles would be impossible. It can be said that the future is bleak!

However, his parents died early, and he was an orphan. Because of the lack of tuition, he never entered the Kingdom Knights Academy to study, not to mention the opportunity to be sent to a nobleman to be a knight attendant and receive formal noble training.

In this way, the chance of passing the regular knight assessment is almost zero.

Thinking of this, Donald couldn't help feeling sad for the original owner of his body.

"I've been living like a commoner for several generations, and I still hold onto my noble status as a high-class person, and my family can't open the pot. For this sake, I have to maintain the basic face of a noble in front of outsiders. , it is better to put down your face and make a living like those civilians."

"At least that way, I can live a little more comfortably, and I don't have to be swollen and fat."

But it may be that the memory and character of the original owner are still playing a role in Donald. Subconsciously, Donald is still very insistent on the honor of the nobility, so these days, the only servant and housekeeper who watched him grow up, Cod, has not noticed anything abnormal. .

"But this kind of life will be gone forever with my arrival!"

At that time, Donald was secretly excited in his heart, because with the arrival of the new Donald, there was a miracle treasure that followed him.

That is the culprit that caused his transmigration, a magical book of truth that exists in his body and can change his destiny.

He discovered the magical effect of this book of truth on the third day that he passed through. After the initial recovery of his physical condition, Donald got up at night, and while Old Codd was asleep, he went to the study alone to rummage through some books, hoping to learn more about the world.

After all, although the memory of the original body owner was absorbed by him, it was relatively messy, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. And how much can a seventeen-year-old boy who cannot receive aristocratic education know about the world? Therefore, Donald, who has the thoughts of the past life, intends to settle down when he comes, and wants to make some psychological preparations in advance to pave the way for his future life.

When I turned on the lamp in the old study, I accidentally touched the only valuable magic tool in the house, the element spar filled in the magic crystal lamp.

Although there are only one-tenth of the lowest blank crystals, that is, after the energy of the elemental crystals is used up, there are still inferior products with low residual energy.

This kind of blank crystal is generally used for lighting or some small tricks that require little magic power in this world, and it is only used by ordinary people and the most difficult magic apprentices.

But even this lowest-level blank crystal is enough to cause the extremely energy-poor Book of Truth to respond after repairing the host's body.

After absorbing the weak energy in the blank crystal and converting it into weak divine power, the Spirit of the Artifact of the Book of Truth opened the function of the current artifact to Donald.

Looking at the pale golden metal book phantom in front of him, after opening it, you can see the dense summoning icons inside. At that time, Donald was surprised and delighted to find that those familiar images were the large-scale magic strategy game he was most enthusiastic about in his previous life, Warcraft. In the world of hegemony, various characters, arms, construction units and other items.

At the same time, the Book of Truth also responded to him, accepting the idea of ​​the spirit of the artifact, and Donald quickly understood the usefulness of these patterns.

"It turns out that by paying the price of energy and soul fragments, it can be transformed into divine power and soul imprint, and the creatures, items and buildings set in various Warcraft can be summoned, and they can be embodied in the present world and become a real existence. "

"Can you really summon all the existences in the game?"

With the doubts in this surprise, Donald not only thought that if he could summon the bases, arms and powerful heroes of various races, and these existences would be under his control and obey his command, then he would Wouldn't it be easy to be king and hegemon in this world? ?

But seeing the price of summoning high-level troops and powerful existences again, Donald seemed to be poured on his head by a basin of cold water, and completely woke up.

"Sure enough, if you don't pay, don't think that there will be a reward. The idea of ​​looking at the sky and dropping the pie is unacceptable!"

The summoning content in the Book of Truth is divided into four categories, common summoned creatures, permanent summoned creatures, character skill exchange, and summoned building units and items.

Ordinary summoned creatures only need to consume some basic energy and a small amount of soul power, and use the spiritual power of the summoner as a medium. Items with these two conditions, the first thing Donald thought of was the crystal nucleus of Warcraft.

The Book of Truth also explained that the remaining soul imprints in the crystal core of Warcraft can make summoned creatures wise, but once the energy used for the existence of summoned creatures in the crystal core is exhausted, the summoned creatures will completely dissipate. Therefore, it can only be used as a material for normal summoning.

It is also possible to continuously supply energy to maintain the existence of summoned creatures, but the huge consumption is probably difficult for the rich man of a large chamber of commerce to support for a long time, so it is better to leave it at a critical moment before using it.

Even the most useless critters and the most elementary population, peasant coolies and the like of various races need to pay at least one first-order Warcraft crystal core to be summoned, and there is a time limit for their existence. After all, the remaining soul imprints are not Complete, and the energy of the crystal nucleus is also very limited. After exhaustion, the summoned creature will disappear out of thin air.

There are also permanent summoning units, but although there is no quota limit, if you want to create permanent creatures, you must prepare extremely precious soul power before you can successfully summon them. As for the source of soul power, the magic core produced by low-level intelligent creatures cannot be replaced. Donald has no clue about this for the time being, so he may not be able to do it for a long time. To be able to reach the level of the soul, at least at this time, it needs to be a special professional above the intermediate level.

Other inanimate buildings and items require elemental spar and all similar energy crystals to be summoned. Because summoning items are the transformation of energy and matter, they can exist without time limit, but the cost is still not small.

What Donald values ​​most is the exchange of the last character skill. With the improvement of the contract owner's own strength, according to the division of the world's strength level, each time a level authority is reached, the energy spar that matches the current level can be exchanged for the seeds of any character's own skills in the summon list, regardless of race. Heroes, units, or other wild creatures.

Of course, with the exception of most divine arts and summoning creature skills, because divine power comes from gods, the gods in the Book of Truth from the history of Warcraft are all virtual, and they cannot replace the gifts given by real gods before they are summoned. Mortal magic, and summoned creatures are also virtual existences. If you don't have enough soul power and life power, you need to pay a great price to create life out of thin air.

All existence in the world, whether it is matter or energy, must follow certain laws to convert each other. Without the existence of the Book of Truth, which is close to the Creator, unless one understands the laws of creation, it is impossible to create life out of thin air. Even for an artifact like the Book of Truth, the creation of life requires a great price.

This is the setting formed by the book of truth collecting the rules and data of this world.

Mages need Warcraft crystal cores and elemental crystals to absorb the energy for their own use. Whether it is casting spells, making equipment, or arranging magic circles, these are indispensable. Both of them are basically non-renewable resources, and they are also important strategic reserves. Mainland countries have very strict supervision on their transportation and sales. As a result, prices have remained high.

A standard square is the universal unit of volume in this world. It is only about the size of an inch square. Even the lowest-level blank crystal of this size requires at least three silver moons to buy. This is equivalent to two months' income of a civilian family.

On the other hand, the lower element spar, which is higher than the blank crystal, requires at least five gold sols.

As for Warcraft crystal cores, low-level crystal cores are generally cheap, and a Jinsoor with the lowest variety can buy a few. However, if calculated according to the actual volume, the price of the low-level Warcraft crystal nucleus of the same volume is lower than that of the low-level element spar.

The reason why the low-level element spar is more popular than the low-level Warcraft crystal core is because the residual Warcraft soul fragments in the Warcraft crystal core are an impurity for the mages, because of the influence of the soul power, it is more pure to use. The elemental spar formed by the condensation of elemental energy is less effective.

The middle-level and high-level Warcraft crystal cores are just the opposite. The higher the level of magical beasts that reached a certain strength during their lifetime, the stronger the soul power in the crystal cores left behind after death. It is said that it will give the equipment more spirituality and make it more powerful, so the intermediate and high-level Warcraft crystal cores are more valuable than pure elemental crystals.

One gold sol is equal to ten silver moons, and one silver moon can be exchanged for one hundred lowest copper coins. These three are the most common currencies in this world. According to Donald's understanding from his previous life, that is, gold coins, Silver and copper coins.

For the Melina family, who lacked financial resources and only depended on the old servant Cod to make a living on the half acre of land in the backyard, now they can't even get three silver months, unless they sell the last valuable things in the family.

In other words, he can't even buy the lowest level of Warcraft crystal core, and the energy contained in the blank crystal that he can afford is too low to play any role, which makes Donald unable to verify the magical ability of the Book of Truth. It's true, that's why he has the idea of ​​hunting demon beasts again in the green cloak forest not far from the town.
