Chapter 298 Lampmaker

Harrow doesn’t know much about the rules of the world.

It is not a starter and cannot provide help with practical steps.

Lu Yao could only try one by one.

He first tried his hand with [Feasting Bird].

 In this gravel world, King Wuji is still leading the Wuji tribe to dig and collect Almighty Stones. Many places in the world are full of holes.

 Lu Yao found the entry [Death] in the background and filtered down to find the related words of [Ghost] and [Dead]. In these secondary phrases, there is no description or definition of the underworld or one-way anchoring.

For comparison and verification, Lu Yao checked two other worlds. Yunzhong Temple and the Yao world also had no relevant records.

He came to a preliminary inference: the one-way anchoring of many worlds to the underworld, and the passage of the underworld through which ghosts enter is hidden deeper in the rules of the world.

Either the main **** cannot change this rule, or the relevant description is hidden in some clever way.

No matter which one it is, Lu Yao has nothing to do at the moment.

 He couldn't help but think.

It would be great if you could choose a gathering place for the ghosts... Just like the soldiers who have completed training in the military camp of a strategy game, they will be uniformly designated to gather at the school field.

yes.

 You can use this method!

 The underworld passage and the one-way anchor cannot be touched by yourself, but you can start the ghost entry.

 Lu Yao immediately started writing the rules in the backstage of the [Yan Ke Bird] world.

 He added a new command under the entry [Ghost].

 —All ghosts will temporarily stay in [Shadu Tower].

This instruction is very vague and focuses on testing the basic mechanism. Creating new rules consumes 20,000 points of faith.

Lu Yao clicked OK and waited for the rules in the world to come into play.

 About half an hour later, a ghost actually appeared next to the Shadu Tower at the bottom of the Banquet Bird World. However, the ghost only stayed for about two seconds and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yao was greatly encouraged.

it works!

 He revised it and constantly compared the actual effects of the rules. He found that to make the ghost stay for a very short time, a vague description would be more stable and feasible.

If you forcibly set a precise time, it will be difficult for this rule to operate stably, and it will show "Invalid" after a while.

 After conducting more than a dozen experiments in the world of banquet birds, Lu Yao summarized two lessons learned.

 Experience 1: The number of ghosts traveling through the world is very small.

 He ​​observed for nearly 3 hours in total, and found that there were only 4 ghosts passing by. Each one of them flashed symbolically in front of the Shadu Tower, and then disappeared immediately.

 Experience 2: It is much more difficult for ghosts to settle in than expected, and the conversion rate is extremely low.

  None of the four passing ghosts stopped.

Although Lu Yao had anticipated the difficulties, the seriousness and difficulty of the real situation still made him a little troubled.

 Is this plan really unfeasible?

 He ordered half a box of egg tarts for takeout and asked Harrow about the delicious food.

 “The gravel world is very weak, and there are few ghosts.”

The three-headed dog licked the egg **** and said: "The larger the world, the stronger the power of the rules. If you want to recruit passing ghosts, you need a large divine kingdom to do it. The transfer and teleportation of ghosts will be concentrated in the larger world. , the power of rules can give full play to the one-way anchoring effect.”

 Lu Yao suddenly realized.

 It turns out to be related to the world itself.

 He ​​changed his goal and chose Yunzhong Temple as the experimental site. This is also the largest world that Lu Yao has mastered.

Lu Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of ghosts had indeed increased.

 He ​​set the command location by an artificial lake, and ghosts appeared from time to time, far outnumbering the feasting birds. In just half an hour, 10 ghosts passed by.

Most ghosts still leave in an instant, but there are a few who stay temporarily.

 They usually look around, as if they find there is nothing strange here, and then dissipate and leave.

Lu Yao made further adjustments and changed the marked location to under the Ghost Lighthouse in Shacheng.

 This time there was an immediate effect.

 More ghosts appeared and hesitated nearby.

 The vast majority still leave eventually. Only one ghost stood under the lighthouse for a long time, looking up at the top of the lighthouse, as if full of curiosity and reluctance.

 Lu Yao View its details.

 …

 【Lamp Clan LV2】Deng Cheng

 Health: 16/16

 Mana: 1/1

  Damage: 1

 Defense: 1

 Speed: 3

  【Avoidance】

  【Lampmaker】

˜Excellent in making various forms of lamp products.

 …

The ghost of the lamp tribe has a strange shape. He is a translucent little man with a silvery metallic luster and a dim flame on his head.

 Dengcheng looked up at the green bonfire on the top of the ghost lighthouse, as if he was yearning for it.

It took two steps forward and then stopped.

 The ghosts come and go around, but it can't make up its mind.

 You cannot interfere at this time.

Harrow emphasized that the ghost must stay voluntarily. When in a one-way anchored ghost passage, only the sailors who control the rules of the world can briefly see their traces, and others, not even the gods, can find them.

Once the sailor comes into direct contact with them, it will destroy the stability of the channel, causing the channel to temporarily close or collapse, resulting in unpredictable chaotic consequences, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Lu Yao had no intention of directly intervening.

 It would be too tiring if you, as the sailor, need to persuade you one by one to introduce passing ghosts.

 Show the treatment of Shacheng ghosts. Those who are interested will consider staying, and those who are unwilling will not be forced.

 After half an hour of psychological struggle, Dengcheng stepped into the ghost lighthouse.

Lu Yao couldn't help but waved his fist.

 The first one, take it!

 At Lu Yao's signal, Slimod quickly appeared next to the lamp rider.

"Welcome, guests from afar. I am the mayor of this city. This is a ghost lighthouse. It is a must-have place for ghosts to rest at home. The living environment is relaxed and comfortable. You can choose a place as a private room."

Slimold picked up a thick book next to him: "For example, books like this are synonymous with knowledge and elegance, and have always been a favorite place for ghosts to stay."

 “Don’t like it? What about this one?”

He grabbed an oil lamp next to him: "This is an oil lamp invented by the prophet's medicine spoon. It has a brass lamp holder, a glass lampshade, and is filled with magic oil. It has a long-lasting flame and an elegant fragrance... It has been carefully polished by skilled craftsmen, and the texture and warmth coexist. "

 A red heart appeared on Dengcheng’s head and he nodded.

 “Then from today on, this is your private room, please keep it.”

Slemud handed the oil lamp to the other party, and then said: "In the ghost lighthouse in Sand City, there are no mandatory obligations. But if you want to have more fun in life, or show your talents, realize your ideals, or Goal, Shacheng will give every contributor the generous rewards they deserve..."

“You are tired after a long journey, so please rest first.”

 Slimaud was about to leave.

 Dengcheng finally spoke: "I can make a lamp. A much better lamp than the one I have in my hand."

“Oh? What materials are needed? I can prepare them for you.”

“Metals are needed, copper, iron, gold, and silver are all acceptable, preferably gold and silver, as well as hammers and pliers, anvils, and leather. This thing called glass is thinner than crystal. It’s good to use this..."

As Deng Cheng was talking, he suddenly sighed.

 “I forgot, now I can’t make a lamp, I’m dead.”

 “Death is another beginning.”

Slimud then introduced: "Then, do you want to try the [Ghost Armor] made by the Yao people? As long as you put on this set of armor, you can be as dexterous and mobile as when you are alive, and you can use any tools. Down."

 “Is there such a thing?”

 A huge question mark appeared above the head of the lamp.

 “Of course, you’ll know after you try it.”

After putting on the ghost armor, a black exclamation point popped up on Deng Cheng's head: "Incredible... unimaginably fine armor, it has such wonderful power, it's like coming back from the dead!"

Slimod added: "You are very lucky. As the first lamp clan to join Sand City, this set of armor is a welcome gift to Sand City. I hope you like it."

"I like it, I like it very much! Mr. Mayor...this must be very precious, right?"

“It is not worth mentioning to Shacheng’s goodwill and friendship.”

“Mayor, I will make the lights now, I have my own ability!”

 Dengcheng immediately started making lamps.

Slimold’s avatar sent the required materials and tools one by one, and the lampmaker immediately devoted himself to the production process...

 A few minutes later, a spherical lamp was born from the hands of the armored lamp rider.

It looks like a big glass ball with a claw-like iron rod underneath and a long hemp rope attached to the bottom.

　　After nightfall, the lantern took it into the open space next to the lighthouse. With a slight pull on the rope, the ball lantern flew up and down, creating a warm white light in the air, making the residents of the surrounding sand city look up.

 Lu Yao clicked on this item.

 …

  【Suspended Lamp】: A sophisticated prop made by the lantern clan, which can be suspended high in the sky and bring stable lighting.

 Health: 1220/1220

 …

Hongming Lantern?

Lu Yao immediately discovered that there was more than that.

It is astonishingly bright, and just one hanging lamp illuminates the entire ghost lighthouse.

Lu Yao observed it for a while and found that the hanging lamp's health value lost 1 point every 1 second, which represented the durability of use.

“It’s a pity. There are so many good and sufficient materials, even the Almighty Stone, but the hanging lamps I made are still not as good as those excellent lamp makers...”

 A sighing expression appeared on Deng Cheng’s head.

Slimaud smiled: "You are already great! There has never been such a device in Shacheng before. A high-altitude flying lantern that emits such a dazzling light is an amazing skill."

 Deng Cheng turned his head and sighed and smiled: "Thanks to the omnipotent stone you provided, it made up for my lack of production ability."

“Originally, the lamp clan had to hold a lamp wire to keep the hanging lamp floating and moving in the air, but now even if it is tied to the side, it can remain stable and suspended. This is all due to the power of the Almighty Stone.”

It also said: "The most skilled master of the lantern tribe can create a [sky lantern] that moves in the sky."

"There is no sun in the world where the lanterns live, so we need to rely on sky lanterns for lighting to ward off monsters in the black fog. Before I died, the master had not appeared for a long time, so we could only repair the old sky lanterns and continue Used. They often malfunction as they age, turning on and off..."

"There will be times when sky lanterns need to be replaced, and they will be replaced every seven days. This is the most dangerous moment. Everyone must hold on to their hanging lanterns tightly to prevent them from being blown out by the fog beast."

“I was killed by the fog beast after the lights went out.”

 Talk about his own experience, a depressed expression appeared on Deng Cheng’s head again.

 “It would be great if there was still sun in my hometown.”

Lu Yao felt something in his heart.

Sky lantern?

 Artificial sun?

 It sounds like the lantern people have reached a very advanced stage in the lamp-making industry, which is related to the special local environment.

Slimold asked: "What about the gods of the lamp tribe? Doesn't he care about you?"

 “God…”

Dencheng was silent for a moment: "Many epochs ago, I heard that the **** of the "Mist Harbor", the "Firefly God", had a fight with the world's pot and was trapped in the black mist. No matter how much I prayed, he could not hear it... Not long after, there was an outside god. Stole our sun. "

 “The Deng clan is an abandoned clan.”

 Lu Yao rubbed the hot water bottle in his hand.

 There are some gods who have left believers behind, such as Yunhuike, and the previous prayers to gods also count.

　　This is the first time I have heard of a **** who fights with a pot and a **** who breaks into a house and steals the sun.
