Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

At night in Nimgefu, there are only three things that shine.

The golden tree, the dark moon, and the weapons in people's hands.

Rock's straight sword was writhing in blood, and the silver moonlight shone on the blade. He stabbed in the back, cut the throat, and penetrated the heart. One execution after another was born from his hands.

Each game has its own characteristics, and execution is one of the characteristics of the Circle of Magic.

"You're lying..." Klein hid in the grass and watched Rock kill the enemy cleanly.

He is no longer the newbie on the first day.

In a fully stealthed magic circle, the only advantage players have is the weapon action module that comes with the game.

These faded ones can use any weapon quickly, and can engage in simple battles as long as they make corresponding movements. Those with some talent, such as Kirito and Klein, can even learn action modules on their own. One trick.

But in fact, there are only a few simple tricks to go back and forth with the built-in module, barely allowing these otakus to reach a state where they can simply use weapons, and they have become one of the cannon fodder in this world...

And their execution methods are basically relatively simple.

A fighting style like Rock's, which can freely execute from all angles and quickly unbalance soldiers, is basically unachievable in the eyes of ordinary players.

"It's the way of the sword. In reality, Rock should be a master of combat."

Kirito's voice sounded in the grass.

But the three of them were not afraid that the sound would attract monsters, because all the Grek soldiers in the forest were attracted by Rock.

There were only a few lone soldiers, and these soldiers were also their targets.

"Only those with experience in using weapons can have such a fighting method." Kirito looked at Rock's fighting form, his eyes sparkling with light.

He's learning Rock's fight.

In addition to the basic combat modules in the Magic Circle, there are actually "combat skills" that come with weapons.

Some combat skills, if the player can learn them from the weapon's combat skills module, can also be used with other qualified weapons.

For example, Kirito relied on his talent during the closed beta to learn "breaking steps", "penetrating", "striking upwards", "endurance" and "kicking".

Now even if his weapons don't have these war ashes, Kirito can still use these combat skills. This is why Kirito has the confidence to bring new people.

But Rock is different. Kirito can feel that Rock is not using so-called combat skills, but relying on his familiarity with weapons to kill enemies, which is the so-called basic attack.

"Do you have experience in using weapons..." Asuna murmured to herself, then looked up at Rock who was killing crazily, and said hesitantly:

"But...actually it's more like having experience in killing people..."

As soon as these words came out, Kirito and Klein immediately looked at her.

Several people were frightened by Rock just now, and now they don't want to be frightened again.

"I'm not talking about the intruder who was killed by Rock..." Asuna hurriedly waved her hands towards the two of them: "Of course! This is just my feeling, just a feeling."

She felt that she had hit the vital point so neatly, and it was not just a matter of simply learning how to attack...

"What does it feel like?"

The knight's helmet suddenly appeared next to her head, and the sound reached Asuna's ears through the mask.

"ah!"

She was startled, but after seeing clearly that it was Rock, she slowly relaxed and said angrily to Rock: "Really, don't be scary like this."

Asuna looked at the corpses of the soldiers on the ground and felt horrified. It turned out that there really was no sound at all before approaching. You will die without complaining.

"I said...you should be mentally prepared..." Rock took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face. He looked like a righteous knight, but he said chilling words: " ... about preparations to kill.”

"If players really want to invade each other in the future, it will only be a matter of time before you have blood on your hands."

"Since you're all out leveling at night, don't continue to have your own whims."

"If you want to be evil, be thorough."

The three of them were silent. If a player with average psychological quality would have no moral bottom line in this cannibalistic world.

But the three of them have very tough minds and are among the best-qualified group. They always hold the hope of returning to modern society, and naturally they also maintain modern moral bottom lines.

At least for now.

"If I am invaded, I will not hesitate and fight back immediately." Kirito said, holding the handle of the weapon tightly.

Klein immediately said that I was the same.

Asuna glanced at Rock carefully, then summoned up the courage to ask: "Mr. Rock, what is your real career?"

She was still very curious about the secret of Rock's skills, maybe because she was so scared by Rock.

"Me? Police."

"Ah?" The three of them looked at Rock in disbelief.

They prefer to believe in jobs like killers.

"It could also be a wizard, a ninja, a god of death, a navy, etc..." Rock said nonchalantly.

He looked at the three of them: "Where are you? What's your occupation?"

"Staff"

“Beautiful squatting at home”

"Beautiful Girl Student"

"You don't need to specify the terms good-looking and beautiful girl, and I'm asking about your gaming career."

"I am a stargazer." Asuna raised the stargazer in her hand. "It should be a mage profession."

"In the magic circle, your career is determined by your points and equipment. If you continue to add points to your strength, then you are not a mage." Roque squatted down slowly, "Just introduce your equipment and advantages. "

Rock looked at Kirito and motioned for him to take a look.

"I am a swordsman. My initial equipment is two short scimitars and a wooden shield with iron rivets. My attributes are mainly dexterity, and I am a double-sword style."

Kirito continued: "I feel that this fighting method suits me very well, so I will probably choose to fight with two swords or two swords in the future. A shield is useless to me. If you need a shield, my wooden shield can be given to you."

Dual swords... Unexpectedly, after changing the game, Kirito still embarked on the path of dual swords style.

"Ahem!" Klein coughed. He knew this as he had been the president of a gaming guild.

After introducing each other, they will most likely become long-term teammates in the future, so the introduction at this moment is very important.

"As for me, my profession is a warrior. Among all professions at that time, I fell in love with a warrior at a glance. The introduction said that he is a warrior with outstanding abilities from the land of reeds..."

Klein was very good at adjusting the atmosphere. Even though there were corpses everywhere, he still used an exaggerated tone to attract everyone's attention.

Samurai is a good profession. The initial armor is the Reedland Samurai suit. It also comes with a long bow and two types of arrows. The most important thing is the main weapon - the sword used by samurai.

Rock looked at the knife on Klein's waist with some nostalgia.

This is the weapon that Rock is most familiar with. After all, samurai swords are used in the world of Dead Fire Sea.

Moreover, in the game Elden's Ring, the sword is much easier to use than his current weapon. It is a weapon that can be strengthened with confidence in spending resources in the early stage.

Rock remembered the several forging stones [1] exploded by killing the soldiers just now. Ordinary forging stones can be used to strengthen the sword.

"Um?"

Klein, who was attentive, felt that Rock's eyes seemed to have been focused on his weapon for a while.

Is it because he is better at using knife-type weapons?

Thinking of this, Klein smiled slightly, silently stepped forward, put his arms around Rock's shoulders, and began to wink: "Rock, can I switch weapons with you? I feel that the knight's sword is much stronger than the sword!"

"You were so cool when you were swishing!" He imitated Rock's sword-holding movements just now, and kept making famous gestures in his hands.

"No, I'm quite comfortable with this sword."

Rock smiled and threw the forging stones [1] from his pocket to Klein.

"Give it to you, this thing is of no use to me."

"Is this... a forging stone?" Klein suddenly became happy: "Did it just explode?"

"Um."

"Can……"

"Take it, this thing can't strengthen my weapon." Rock stood up. His three teammates were all good people.

Obviously Klein looks like a down-and-out samurai, and he likes to play swordsmanship very much, so I still want to trade with him...

But Kirito noticed another point on the side.

Can't be strengthened?

He remembered that all ordinary weapons should be strengthened by ordinary forging stones?

Unless it's... a discolored weapon!

"Do you know where there are eclipse weapons?" Kirito looked at Rock in surprise.

You also said that you are not a closed beta player!

Just now he was talking nonsense about being a wizard and ninja.

I can't believe anything I say.

Kirito suddenly blushed, and silently lifted the mask strip up to cover his face.

"Colorless weapon, what is that?" Klein was still rubbing the newly obtained forging stone in his hand, and he looked at Rock curiously.

"Weapons strengthened by ordinary forging stones are ordinary weapons. Weapons strengthened by eclipsed forging stones are eclipsed weapons." Rock briefly introduced the characteristics of the weapons.

Klein was appalled by Rock's nonsense literature.

Kirito on the side said in more detail: "According to speculation, ordinary weapons can be strengthened up to twenty-five levels, while eclipse weapons can be strengthened up to ten levels."

"Huh? Aren't ordinary weapons more powerful?"

Asuna has never played games, so she can only distinguish between strong and weak by the size of numbers like Sun Wukong.

Kirito shook his head: "The strength of an eclipse weapon that has been strengthened once corresponds to the strength of an ordinary weapon being strengthened three times, but this is not accurate because it was only strengthened so much during the internal beta..."

Kirito feels that after the two weapons are strengthened, the difference may not be very big. The key lies in the combat skills of the weapons.

"I think the most special thing about eclipse weapons is the combat skills that come with the weapons. The combat skills of eclipse weapons are often more special than ordinary weapon combat skills."

"Because of this, eclipsed weapons are indeed rarer."

"So, where are you going to get the rare eclipse weapon?" Kirito looked at Rock curiously.

"The weapon of [Hound Rider Darivel] - Hound Tusk."

Upon hearing this, Kirito immediately retorted: "Impossible! That guy is very strong. We don't even have a Holy Grail bottle now..."

"So I need a little help." Rock gestured to Kirito with the universe between his fingers.

Kirito understood immediately.

Is there a shortcut?

"Is there any mission in the Ring of Magic game?" Kirito looked strange.

During the closed beta period, he didn't find any branch lines. Every dog ​​he passed would bite him, and he didn't meet many friendly NPCs on the street.

"Well, there is indeed a branch line." Rock nodded: "There is an NPC that can howl like a wolf in the ruins of the foggy forest."

Howling?

Kirito was indeed impressed.

It's just that he searched for a long time and couldn't find the NPC that kept howling.

not to mention……

"Don't go... there is the Bear Bear King over there in the fog forest." Kirito held his forehead, remembering the days when he was trapped in bear gauze.

"It's okay. One of the two bear kings is scratching the tree, and the other is sleeping. According to my stealth skills, there will be no problem. Isn't there really a fool who just confronts the bear when he sees it?"

Kirito's face turned completely dark.

"Ahem, the fog forest is far away from us. I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time if we go there."

"It's okay. I know a kind-hearted person who will give us a lift."

Kirito was really curious this time. Hearing that there was a prerequisite quest line.

First find this "good Samaritan", then go to the foggy forest to find "Howling Wolf", and finally get a way to defeat "Darry Will".

Obtain the eclipsed weapon - Hound Tusk.

Kirito sorted out his logic instantly.

"Where is this kind person?" As a player, Kirito couldn't hide his curiosity.

Rock looked up at the sky that was about to light up, and then said: "Let's go back to Airey Church first."

"We have to do some preparations first."

"Let's talk first. I will use the weapon this time. Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Of course!" Klein nodded immediately.

He took over the forging stone because both parties wanted to be long-term teammates, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to owe others a favor.

Kirito also agreed. He was very optimistic about Rock, maybe he could liberate the player from this world.

"No problem, it's just as bad everywhere. It's better to stay with people you know." Asuna also had no objection.

The four-person team was officially formed.

"First send the blessing back to Airey Church."

Teleportation is one of the functions of blessing points. Moving the huge map back and forth relies on blessings to save effort.

But in battle, or after falling into some kind of trap, the teleportation will not take effect.

Each player needs to light the blessing in person. For example, players who are still at the initial blessing cannot be teleported to Airey Church.

…

The dilapidated church of Islay.

Here is the first merchant-type NPC that players encounter, the wandering merchant Gale.

Thanks to the lessons of White Mask, this important businessman was voluntarily protected by the players.

Although the merchant will not hate every player after being killed, he can still buy things. But he may leave here after being injured, which is difficult for players to accept. A fixed merchant is always a good thing.

What's more, almost all the most important supplies in the early stage came from this businessman.

In addition to this businessman, Airey Church also has a blacksmithing platform to strengthen weapons.

It can help players strengthen ordinary weapons to plus three.

The light of blessing flashed, and the four of Rock appeared here.

The sky was just getting dark, and some players who had been unable to sleep all night were just beginning to feel sleepy.

The appearance of the four Rocks instantly attracted the attention of nearby players.

"Why is someone here?"

"It should have been teleported back to the beginning of guidance, and now it's teleported back."

Most of the players hadn't opened their eyes at this time and just subconsciously made the most logical guess.

On the other hand, a player lying in the corner suddenly widened his eyes after seeing Roque and others.

He immediately muttered to himself in disbelief:

"Actually...actually came back?!"
