Chapter 3725 Prologue
"Side Quest "The Clown's Heart""
"Mission Overview: After learning about the Dark Corner, Sisley felt mixed emotions. He didn't know whether he should blame the mysterious child, nor did he know what to do next... After reaching the bottom of despair, a crazy idea suddenly emerged in his heart."
"Mission objective: Find a way to find the mysterious child in the dark corner/Search for the secrets in the dark corner and take revenge on the Fashion Guild (Choose one of the two, you can complete the mission by achieving either one)"
After Sisley sorted out his thoughts, Ingres successfully received his side quest.
"The mission objective is to choose one of two?" Angel looked at the task on the text column with some surprise.
Continue looking for the mysterious child. Sisley had mentioned this before, so it is not surprising that he appears in the mission target.
What Ingres didn't expect was that Sisley actually had some crazy ideas in his heart. He wanted to take revenge on the Fashion Guild on his own.
Although Sisley didn't say this thought just now, the mission description is not deceptive. Since the mission objective has this, it means that Sisley really intends to do this.
Although Angel had not been in Modern City for a long time, he was already very clear about the influence of the Fashion Guild in Modern City.
This is the most powerful organization in the entire Modern City, even the Dark Round Table cannot compare to it.
Regardless of whether Sisley could succeed in his revenge in the end, the fact that he dared to retaliate showed his courage... and that he had put life and death aside.
Crazy clown.
Angel muttered to himself, and then took on the next side quest.
Angel probably already understood this side quest. It was not beyond his expectations and could be completed together with his other side quest "The Disappearing Knight".
However, this side quest also surprised Angel.
Not the quest itself, but the color of the text on the quest objective.
"Mission objective: Find a way to find the mysterious child in the dark corner/search for the secrets in the dark corner and take revenge on the Fashion Guild."
The words "Find a way to find the mysterious child in the dark corner" are in gray.
Gray text generally means "the task is in an unfinished state."
Angel didn't know why the words were gray, but he guessed that the mysterious child might be in a dark corner. He had to find and enter the dark corner before he could activate the mission.
Of course, this is just a guess. We will know whether it is true or not after verifying it in a dark corner later.
But then again——
Where is the dark corner?
Ingres once used a God's perspective to observe the modern city inside and out, but he couldn't find any "dark corners".
He was a little skeptical, perhaps the so-called "dark corner" was not in the Modern City dungeon.
But in other copies.
This situation is not uncommon. For example, the Uriel dungeon that Luigi is currently working on is a branch of the Sunshine Circus dungeon.
Therefore, Angel deeply suspected that Dark Corner was a branch copy of Modern City.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the Modern City copy will be expanded later.
Just like the Uriel copy, there was only a small courtyard at the beginning, but as the main quest progressed, the streets outside slowly appeared.
Modern City may also have a similar situation. As the mission progresses in the future, its scope will gradually expand, and dark corners will appear.
Angel didn't know which possibility it was yet, but he had a feeling that when he completed the side quest "The Lost Knight", the curtain covering the true face of "Dark Corner" would be drawn.
By then we should know whether Dark Corner is a new dungeon or a new map.
After taking on the task, Ingres temporarily bid farewell to Sisley.
The quest "The Joker's Knot" cannot be completed quickly at the moment, and can only be completed bit by bit as the quest "The Vanishing Knight" progresses.
Therefore, there is no need to waste time here in Sisley.
He has other things to do now.
For example, continue to refresh the plan.
For example, go to Com to take over his side quest.
However, before going to find Com, Angel still has one thing to do, which is... dismantling the model!
……
There are many small rooms in the children's house.
Each room has its own theme, and most of the room themes are children's clothing or some characters that are popular among children.
At this time, Ingres came to a room with the theme of "White Bride".
This was when Ingres asked Sisley if he wanted to find a quiet room to rest, and Sisley recommended this room called "White Bride".
The White Bride comes from the play "The Bride of Trouble".
In this play, there are five different doll brides, among which only the White Bride with the palest face is a good person, and the other dolls are all evil spirits.
With the help of the White Bride, the young protagonist successfully escaped from the castle where the wedding of the ghost doll was held.
In the story, the White Bride is kind and loved by children.
But in reality, the white bride has a face as white as paint and cold eyes, which makes children afraid to approach her.
So, even though the play "White Bride" is very popular, almost no children come to this doll room with the theme of White Bride.
When Angel pushed the door open, there was no one inside.
The lighting was also dim.
The dim light shone on the doll face of the White Bride, making it even paler and more ferocious...
Moreover, the room was filled with white brides in different baby doll costumes, which doubled the horror.
When Ingres saw this, he understood why the children were so afraid to come. Given this creepy atmosphere, few adults would be willing to come.
But this was perfect for Ingres. No one would disturb him, and it was a good time to dismantle the model.
Ingres closed the door and sat down at a random table.
He opened the sealed box, took out the huge model inside and placed it on the table.
Coincidentally, there was a white bride doll wearing a wedding dress and veil on the table.
This side is the White Bride, and next to it is the Claire Green Light Giant model.
Angel's eyes wandered around the doll and the model, and finally he sighed silently: The White Bride is already creepy enough, but if compared with the Green Giant, the White Bride is completely set off as a peerless beauty.
The Green Giant is really...unpleasant to look at.
No wonder the limited edition can’t be sold out.
As Angel sighed, he reached out his hand, ready to dismantle the model.
In fact, he had thought about doing a luck-changing ceremony at the wishing tree outside before dismantling the model...but then he decided to forget it.
The card draw is random, so the luck-changing ritual is still useful. But the things in the model are already determined from the beginning, so the luck-changing ritual has no effect.
Therefore, it is better to dismantle it directly.
It was not difficult to disassemble the model. Soon, the Green Giant was cut into pieces, revealing the "hidden things" in its stomach.
It was a ball of light emitting cold light.
The moment the ball of light was taken out, the power of the fairyland emerged out of nowhere and turned into a text message, appearing in the text column.
"Congratulations on receiving "Prologue: Spectrum"."
At the moment the words appeared, the light of the ball of light slowly dimmed, and what appeared in Ingres's hands was a very miniature page of a book.
The pages were probably about the size of a matchbox, very soft, and seemed to be made of some kind of silk cloth.
There are many magic runes on the mini book pages, which belong to the same system as the runes on the modern coins, but Angel can't quite understand their specific meaning.
He looked at the mini book page in his palm, then at the information on the text column.
Ingres's expression was a little subtle.
It is clearly recorded in Com's NPC information that Com hid the legendary pages in the Green Giant model.
If nothing unexpected happens, the mini page in front of you is the legendary page.
Ingres had high expectations for this "legendary" page, but unexpectedly, only a "Prologue" appeared?
Can a "Prologue" be called a legendary page?
With doubts, Ingres clicked on "Prologue: Spectrum" on the text bar through "eye movement".
A large amount of text information emerged.
About two minutes later, Angel had read and digested all the messages.
According to the introduction, the prologue is a special page of the "Fashion Magic Book".
Once the prologue is integrated into the magic book, it will be automatically adjusted to the first page as the only prologue of the magic book.
The role of the prologue can be understood as... talent?
However, this talent is not from a magician, but from the "Fashion Magic Book".
For example, the effect of "Prologue: Spectrum" is: all fashionable magic related to "light" in the current magic book will be comprehensively amplified.
The magnitude and direction of amplification vary according to different "light" magic.
For example, Yuri once used the ability of "Light Chasing Butterfly" to transform into a ceiling light.
This ability can be amplified by the "spectrum", the brightness may be brighter, or some flashing effects may be added, or automatic light tracking... and so on.
In short, as long as there is fashion magic involving "light", it can be amplified by the "spectrum".
Of course, the prerequisite is that the prologue of your magic book is "Spectrum".
Probably to help people better understand the role of the prologue, in addition to the brief information about "Prologue: Spectrum", the text column also gives some other common prologues as examples.
For example, "Prologue: Rumors" can increase the accuracy of rumor-like information.
For example, in "Prologue: Halfway", when the puzzle completion rate exceeds 50%, even if the puzzle is not fully collected, you can unlock and freely use a regular ability of the puzzle in advance.
There are also many different prologues that make the magic book more powerful.
The only regret is that each copy of "Fashion Magic Book" can only have one prologue added.
The above is the role of the prologue.
As for why the prologue is called the "Legendary Page" by Com, it is because the prologue is very rare and its origin is still unclear.
The vast majority of prologues are kept by the top leaders of the major guilds.
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary fashion magicians to access it, so it is completely reasonable to call it a "legendary page".
……
The effect of "Prologue: Spectrum" is quite good in Angle's opinion.
But it didn't do much for him.
His variety show elf does not have any fashion magic related to "light", so naturally it cannot get the enhancement of the "spectrum".
In the future, Angel had no intention of collecting "light" magic.
Therefore, although this "Prologue: Spectrum" is called the "Legendary Page", it is relatively useless to Ingres.
Since it was of no use to him, Ingres had no intention of keeping it.
His idea was to sell it or give it to Cam.
As an extremely rare legendary page, "Prologue: Spectrum" must be very valuable. If it is sold, it will probably quickly earn a large amount of Modern Coins.
Modern coins are beneficial to Angel's main quests and random quests.
As for handing it over to Cam...
This is a bit like gambling.
Angel guessed that the side quest on Kangmu was related to the prologue. If he gave the prologue to Kangmu, he should be able to get the reward for the side quest.
But it is hard to say whether this reward can match the original value of the prologue.
Therefore, if you give it to Com, you have to gamble on Com's side quest reward.
"Choose to sell it? Or give it to Com?" Angel hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not make a choice.
He planned to go out and talk to Com first, triggering his side quest, and then make a decision.
Maybe, Com's side quest doesn't require submitting the "Prologue"?
Although Angel also knew that the possibility was very low.
Angel stood up and prepared to leave the White Bride House... However, just as Angel pushed the door, he paused for a second, turned back and sat down again.
The model of the Hulk has been dismantled all over the table, so let’s put it back together.
He originally planned to go directly to Com, use Nightmare to control him, and then trigger the task through chatting.
The model of the Green Giant is no longer useful.
But he thought about it and decided to take the Hulk model with him.
Regardless of whether he would hand over the Prologue to Com in the end, he could use the Green Light Giant model to earn some Modern Coins first...
Even though the price of the Green Giant model is not as high as that of the Sky-Splitting Traceless and Silver-Winged Blazing Sword, if it is sold to Com, it should be worth tens of thousands of Modern Coins, right?
With this thought in mind, Ingres reassembled the Green Giant model and put it back into the packaging box.
Then, Ingres left the Kids' House and walked out of the Wandering House through the side door.
The moment Ingres came out of the door.
Then he saw several people nearby secretly glancing at the packaging box behind him.
There is no doubt that these are all based on the Green Light Giant model.
Angel counted and found that, apart from Com, there were about six people who were targeting him.
This number is already considered small. If Angel had not asked the staff to announce the types of models he exchanged, the number of people who would target him would probably have increased several times.
Angel ignored these people. If they really wanted to rob, they would not do it here.
Compared to them, Angle was more concerned about Com.
