If we say that the "story" carried by each person has a measurement standard.
So, during the period when the Kingdom of Mountains was just destroyed, Zuniga's "story" almost reached its climax.
It was also at that time that Zuniga encountered several time radios in succession.
Like bees that smelled nectar, they rushed towards Zuniga one after another...
"Soon, I put together a complete puzzle of the time radio, but this page of the puzzle finally cracked and turned into ashes." Zuniga said softly.
"Cracked?" Angel was stunned: "Did you disassemble it?"
Zuniga shook his head: "No. During that period, I didn't hate fashion monsters so much. When I encountered the time radio, I was excited inside... because I know the 'past echo' ability of the time radio."
Angel's eyes were startled. At that special time, Zuniga mentioned the ability of "Echoes of the Past" again. Could it be...
The next second, Zuniga's words confirmed Angel's suspicion.
“I want to use ‘Echoes of the Past’ to listen to what happened in the past at the ruins of Omo City.”
Angel: "Sure enough."
At that time, Zuniga believed that he was a "disqualified" king, and he was frantically pursuing the past of Omo City, looking for clues to the disappearance of the royal city.
The emergence of time radio gave Zuniga a sense of hope.
"It's just that my time radio doesn't have the ability to 'reflect the past'." Zuniga: "But fortunately, in those few years, several more time radios came to me."
Zuniga finally mastered "Echoes of the Past" by brushing up his skills.
After gaining this ability, Zuniga immediately returned to the country of mountains. At the old site of Omo City, he used the time radio to listen to the situation on the night when Omo City disappeared.
Angel: "What's the result?"
Zuniga shook his head: "The result is that one second the city was very lively, and the next second there was no sound, as if a page full of bustling and noisy words was torn out at that moment."
"Although the first test didn't let me hear anything useful. But it doesn't matter. Omo City is very big and I can keep listening to different locations."
"Moreover, there are powerful magicians in Omo City. I can also choose to listen near the magician's mansion. Maybe they will tell some important clues at the last moment."
So, Zuniga began to listen continuously that night...
He heard the whispers of the royal magician, the secret conversations of his beloved wife teasing the guards, and the childish whispers of his children before going to bed...
However, every time the critical time point is reached, the result is the same as the first time: the radio stops suddenly and the world becomes silent.
No matter how powerful the magician was, he didn't leave any message behind.
Just when Zuni was about to despair, he went to a place - the throne on the top of the mountain.
He flew into the air according to the height in his memory, confirmed the location of the throne, and then used "Echoes of the Past" again.
This time, at a critical moment, he finally heard some sounds.
It was not a human voice, but a strange roaring sound. It was the first time Zuniga heard this strange sound, like the sound of jets, with some kind of low roar.
It was like a monster, suppressing emotions and roaring in a low voice.
When Zuniga wanted to listen carefully, at this moment, his magic book suddenly made a cracking sound, and he lowered his head to take a look.
The pages of Time Radio have cracks.
The next second, the entire page turned into dust and disappeared.
Angel: "Why..."
"I don't know what happened." Zuniga shook his head: "Maybe it's because I frequently peeked into the past? Or, that roar?"
In short, Zuniga's time radio has been broken since that day.
and……
I don’t know if it was because of a curse, or because other time radios could sense the fate of his “companion” in his hands. From that day on, Zuniga, who had often encountered time radios, never encountered any time radios again.
.
It wasn't until Zuniga came to the modern city and met Wu Lulu that he met Time Radio again.
But when Zuniga found out that the body-stealing monster in Wu Lulu's body was the "Time Radio", it was already the last moment to get rid of him. Although Zuniga was curious about why the time radio suddenly rejected him, at that time, it was already time to get rid of him.
The arrow was on the string and he had to shoot.
In the end, Zuniga didn't know what happened that day, let alone why the time radio never came near him from that day on...
After listening to Zuniga's story, Angel finally understood why Zuniga said that he "has complicated feelings about time radios."
Anyone who encounters him will probably feel strange and confused about the disappearance of the time radio.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Zuniga said suddenly.
Angel had already guessed what he was going to say, but he still followed his words and said, "You want to ask..."
"Yes." Zuniga nodded: "If your time radio has a special ability and can possess wisdom, I would like to ask it about my situation. Also, that roar at that time..."
Angel thought for a moment and realized that this would not do him any harm, and it might also advance Zuniga's side mission.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Yes. However, I may not be able to use special abilities."
Zuniga smiled and said: "I understand. I have been to many cities over the years and met magicians who have time radios, but none of them have the special form of time radios."
Zuniga knows only too well how rare the special form of time radio is.
"If there are no special abilities, just pretend I didn't tell you."
After a pause, Zuniga digested his emotions and looked at Angel again: "By the way, you just said that the forward-looking ability of your time radio is...a storyteller?"
Angel nodded.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in Zuniga's eyes: "Although the description of this ability is very vague, it is actually pretty good. I used it once when I was brushing up skills. I tested it at the time and I quite liked it.
"
"Even after I came to this continent, I missed this ability many times..."
Zuniga sighed with emotion, and then talked in detail about the ability of "people with stories" to Angel.
"The Storyteller: Can be used on any humanoid creature. Once the other person has a story that interests Time Radio, the story will be revealed."
The text description of this fashion magic is indeed a bit vague.
For example, what stories will interest Time Radio? And how will the stories be presented?
Zuniga answered them one by one.
"Time Radio is very concerned about 'stories'. The 'story' here can be gossip, intelligence, or life experience..." Zuniga: "In other words, as long as a person's experience is not so ordinary, Time
The radio will be interested."
To put it simply, it seems that there are many restrictions, but in fact there are not many restrictions.
As long as you are not a "background" or a "passer-by", as long as your life experience is a little more complicated, or you have interesting gossip... etc., Time Radio will be interested in you.
It's just a matter of whether the level of interest is high or low.
All in all, the threshold of Time Radio is very low, so don’t worry too much about it not being interested in “story”.
"Of course, as the 'Time Radio' sees more and more of the world and hears more and more bizarre stories, its threshold will also increase. However, this is also a matter of the later stage. At least you don't have to worry about this in the early stage.
Condition."
In the early days, Time Radio was like a curious baby, interested in everything.
In the later stage, when you become a veteran, it becomes relatively difficult to use.
But in the later stages, when you grow up, the people you meet will be more bizarre, and in fact, they can still interest Time Radio.
Moreover, in the later stages, every time you encounter an amazing and interesting story, the upper limit of hot points will be increased by a huge amount.
Sometimes it is possible to add hundreds of hot points at once.
So there are also later benefits in the later stage.
As for another vague point, it is: the content of the story and the way it is presented.
"Generally speaking, the content of the story extracted by Time Radio is randomly extracted from the user. But no matter how random it is, one thing can be confirmed, that is, this story has definitely attracted the interest of Time Radio."
"For example, if you use it on me, then it may extract the story of the disappearance of Omo City, or my experience in the dark corner, or even the story of me saving Wu Lulu. It is possible."
Angel: "Can it be used on the same person repeatedly?"
Zuniga shook his head: "No. There will be intervals when this ability is used on the same person. I don't know the specific interval because I tested the basic ability at that time just to brush up on the 'Echoes of the Past' skill and give it to
Refreshed."
"But I can be sure that the interval may be very long, a month? Half a year? Even a year."
In short, it cannot be used repeatedly on the same person in a short period of time.
"As for the way the story is presented, you don't have to worry about it. It will be directly projected in your thinking space. It is projected in the form of information flow. The moment you receive the information, you should be able to understand the corresponding 'story'
."
After hearing this, Angel probably understood the capabilities and limitations of the "time radio".
On the whole, it can be regarded as an "intelligence detection" ability. It is probably a very useful ability for intelligence personnel, reporters, or undercover spies.
For Angel, the effect of this ability is not particularly obvious, and it is estimated that it is more likely to be used for "gossip" in the future.
However, "time radio" also has a benefit that is visible to the naked eye.
It can add new ways to obtain hot points.
As long as you continue to use it, listen to and give feedback on stories that interest Time Radio, it will increase the number of hot spots. Although the increased efficiency may not have as big an impact as variety shows, it is better in being simple and long-lasting.
It can also be considered a good way to open source hot spots.
Just when Angel was secretly evaluating the "people with stories," Zuniga's voice came to his ears again.
"Actually, there is another vague point that you may not have noticed."
Angel looked at Zuniga suspiciously: "Any more?"
Zuniga nodded and smiled with deep meaning: "Look carefully at the first sentence of the ability description."
Angel read out softly: "Can be used on any humanoid creature..."
Zuniga nodded: "Yes, this point is actually more important than the following points."
Under Angel's puzzled gaze, Zuniga explained: "You may think that the so-called 'use on any humanoid creature' means that it can be used on humans and humanoid creatures, but it is actually more than that.
"
When Zuniga said this, his expression was somewhat mysterious.
"Do you know the shapeshifter?"
Angel shook his head.
Zuniga was not surprised and explained: "The Transformation Magician is a gorgeous series of fashionable monsters. When combined with the 'Styling Clown', it becomes the famous disguise combination."
"The costume clown can change people's clothes instantly, while the shape-shifting magician can change people's shapes instantly."
A tall man can be easily transformed into a delicate girl.
A little loli who is less than one meter can turn into a muscular man in an instant.
This is the ability of the "Transformation Magician" to modify other people's body shapes.
"Moreover, the shape-changing ability of the shape-shifting magician does not stop there. It can also transform animals, monsters, and even plants into human forms. Although this is very difficult and does not last too long, when it
When these living beings are easily transformed into human form, does it also satisfy the premise of being a 'person with a story'?"
--Use on any humanoid.
Even "people" transformed by a shape-shifting magician are included.
In other words, as long as you have a way to forcefully transform an organism into a "human form", you can use the "Storyteller" ability on it!
When Angel heard this, he was also in a daze.
In a sense, this already involves idealism and concepts!
However, this is also consistent with some of Angel's impressions of fashion magic.
Fashion magic seems to have few direct attack capabilities, but because of this, its various auxiliary abilities are in full bloom, with an extremely high upper limit.
"As long as you have a way to force living beings into 'human form', you can even spy on the gods' gossip." Zuniga said this and coughed softly, "Of course, this is just my personal conjecture."
"It is estimated that the ability of the time radio also has an 'upper limit', just like I used 'Echoes of the Past' to listen to the throne before. Once the upper limit is exceeded, your time radio will probably break."
"But even so, this ability is actually very useful."
After Zuniga came to this continent, he encountered several magicians related to Dark Angle, but they were so powerful that they ignored Zuniga at all.
At that time, Zuniga would imagine that it would be great if he still had the ability to be a "storyteller".
Without even realizing it, you can listen to the other person's story, and maybe you can discover hidden information.
