Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 22: A surprise attack
Although I have decided to continue to devote myself to the dark camp and participate in the struggle between darkness and light because of Hua Mantian's job change, but thinking of the thrilling scene of the battle in the cathedral, if Long Xingtianxia had not seized the opportunity and acted in time to break the "God's Redemption", let alone others, at least I would definitely lose some of my mental power limit. Therefore, even after listening to Hei Jing's explanation, I was still a little indignant. "You make it sound easy. If we unfortunately die in the battle under the 'God's Redemption', we will lose our mental power limit. Even if you have ulterior motives, you should not let the players put themselves in too dangerous a situation. Isn't this damaging our normal interests!" Others also echoed. After all, if they failed to crack the "God's Redemption", they would all become victims.
Hei Jing smiled at us. "In fact, we have already considered the issues that everyone is worried about. When we assigned the task, we mentioned that there would be a batch of small ornaments that could increase the upper limit of mental power and the recovery speed. If you suffer some unnecessary losses in the process of completing the task, we will make corresponding compensation according to the situation. The participants in the task are all elites in the two dark professions, and your strength will not be affected by a man-made test. Moreover, although the 'Limb Severance Operation' failed on the surface, the two goals implied in the task have been achieved, allowing us to have a further understanding of the strength of the Church of Light. We specially gathered you together not only to explain some issues, but also to explain the situation to other players who participated in the task. At the same time, we also want to reward them according to their performance. Everyone present has performed very well in this battle and has reached the stipulated standard for obtaining rewards."
We could get compensation for our losses, and the mission that we thought was a failure actually had rewards. Our expressions finally began to relax. An impatient magic knight couldn't help but ask, "What's the reward? Are they the small accessories that increase the upper limit of mental power and recovery speed?" I was also very interested. Accessories with this kind of attributes can be worn by all players regardless of their profession. They are in great demand in the market and may not be available even if you have money. They are extremely important for us, the necromancers and magic knights, to improve the combat effectiveness.
Black Crystal shook his head apologetically. "Unfortunately, those ornaments are not included in this reward. If you want to get them, you'd better wait for another opportunity. This time, different levels of skills will be upgraded according to each person's battle record, and the power will be increased to a certain extent on the original basis. In other words, everyone present can master a new skill."
Although I was a little disappointed, it was good to learn a new skill. As soon as I finished speaking, they fulfilled their promise. Black Crystal was in charge of the Undead Wizard, and Dark Light was in charge of the Magic Knight. They began to teach us new skills. They said they were teaching us, but in fact they just walked in front of us, took out a scroll with a flashing black light, and asked us to hold it in front of our chests with both hands, close our eyes and think quietly. After waiting for a moment, the scroll disappeared out of thin air, and the skill was mastered. What I learned was the upgraded version of the third-level skill "Undead Shield", "Three Shields Protection", which can release three Undead Shields at the same time for protection. Although the defense strength has not been improved, it can resist the enemy's simultaneous or continuous attacks, and will have a better effect in dealing with combo skills, group magic and multiplayer melee.
I have understood everything I need to understand, and I have received the rewards. However, when I think of Ye Ban Wu Ren, the shameless villain who launched a sneak attack and killed me, I just can't swallow this anger. "I wonder what kind of punishment you will take for Ye Ban Wu Ren, a traitor who turned against us at the last minute. You can't just let it go like this, right?" Before I could open my mouth, Long Xing Tian Xia had already asked this question. I heard that he was exhausted and unable to dodge, so Ye Ban Wu Ren urged the mammoth to rush forward and trampled him wildly, and then stabbed him with random guns. His death was much more "heroic" than mine.
Hei Jing looked at An Guang who had been silent. It seemed that he had to deal with the problem of the magic knight. When Ye Ban Wu Ren was mentioned, An Guang suddenly showed strong anger, with a dark face and a murderous look. "Ye Ban Wu Ren's original performance was not bad. I thought he was a talent, but I didn't expect this person to be so scheming. In this mission, he just deliberately exposed his whereabouts, but he kept it to himself and didn't act early. I guess he still wants to continue hiding and wait for an opportunity to infiltrate our upper level, so as to cause greater damage in the future. I think it's because the situation is not good. In order to avoid the damage of the holy objects, we have to I didn't accept the order and exposed my identity, but it was still irreversible. I must be very upset that you broke the 'holy disk'. You should know that if you suddenly rebel during the mission, you will be severely punished. You will be wanted by the dark profession for life. All dark profession players can get twice the qualification value reward as killing the same level of light profession players. If you keep hunting and killing them a certain number of times, you can get additional material rewards. And if the traitor dies at the hands of the dark profession players, he can only stay in the 'resurrection corridor', and the death time is extended to eight hours. "
"Aren't you going to take any punishment measures for such a shameless act as Ye Ban Wu Ren? Although he is very likely to switch to the Church of Light and change his job to become a Knight of Light, he should still be a Magic Knight now, and his whereabouts must be under your control. You should send out experts to teach this person a lesson. You can also use this to establish your authority and make an example of him." Long Xing Tian Xia's words received our unanimous support. After all, the dark profession should also have a group of expert NPCs. If we don't punish the traitor, the news will spread and all the players in the dark profession will lose face.
An Guang sighed depressedly, "We will not be lenient to traitors. After receiving the report, we immediately sent out the 'Eradication Team' to punish Ye Ban Wu Ren, the traitor. As long as he dares to leave the church, he will be hunted down immediately for a month, which will definitely prevent him from playing the game normally. But it seems that he has been prepared to defect at any time. After the church battle, he immediately applied to the Cardinal in White for a job transfer to the Knight of Light, and was officially approved in a very short time. He also started an emergency job transfer procedure for him. Before our 'Eradication Team' arrived, he entered the Oriental Cathedral again and began to confess and pray before the job transfer. According to the rules, unless it is an open declaration of war, our dark profession NPCs cannot enter the church privately, and can only wait outside. Moreover, as long as he completes the twelve days of prayer, our NPCs can no longer directly deal with him, and can only let the players start the hunt. It's not that we don't want to deal with him, but we really have the will but not the strength!"
It's really too cunning. There is actually a way to circumvent the NPC's punishment. What kind of rule is this? Dark NPCs cannot enter the church without permission. Isn't it obvious that they want to let shameless traitors like Yebanwuren escape punishment?
"We have killed quite a few of those light-related NPCs in the Oriental Cathedral. Their strength should have been greatly reduced. I wonder if they have been replenished now?" Qiu Shui Changtian's words shocked me. From what he said, did he want us to attack the Oriental Cathedral again?
"We don't have the authority to set tasks on our own, and we can't gather you together to organize an action privately. Moreover, the staffing of the Oriental Cathedral has been supplemented by reinforcements from other churches. If you just rush in with a few people, you will have no chance of winning." Hei Jing directly rejected Qiu Shui Changtian's attempt.
"I heard that once a job changer starts praying, they cannot stop praying unless they encounter force majeure such as being killed. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Michael and their job change qualification would be cancelled?"
Seeing Hei Jing nodded, Long Xing Tianxia continued to ask: "Then if the job-changer was killed while praying, the place where he was resurrected should not be in the church, right?" Hearing this, I have roughly guessed his intention.
"Of course. Only a few players who have officially taken up jobs in the light profession and have been authorized by the Church of Light are eligible to be resurrected in the church. Ordinary players, if they do not have their own rooms in the mercenary group or city, can only be resurrected randomly in the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the city where they are registered." Hei Jing explained in great detail.
"That is to say..." Long Kong couldn't help but show his joy on his face. He was about to say something impatiently when he was interrupted by An Guang. "I'm sorry, everyone. I called you here mainly to explain several issues related to the 'Limb Severance Operation' and to reward those of you who have performed well. As for other issues, they are not within our jurisdiction and it is not appropriate for us to interfere too much. Well, it's almost time. See you next time!"
This time we walked out of the cave through the same passage. There were seven of us in the group, three magic knights and four undead wizards. "I think you all must have understood what I mean. Although we are all wanted criminals, the power of the Church of Light has not expanded much yet, and there are not many light players in the local area. Apart from the church, it is rare to see a few light NPCs in other places in the city. It is unlikely that we will be attacked unexpectedly. Moreover, the 'Holy Disk' in the Eastern Cathedral has been destroyed, and there is no threat of 'God's Redemption'. If we die, we will just not be able to go to the 'Devil Prison' (after the normal death of the magic knight, there is no need to go to the 'Resurrection Corridor', but to concentrate on 'meditation' in the 'Devil Prison' to increase the upper limit of mental strength) and the 'Dead Space'. We will just have to face the wall in the 'Resurrection Corridor' for six hours. What do you think? Do you dare to break into the Eastern Cathedral again and kill the traitor Yeban Wu Ren?" Long Xing Tianxia said excitedly, looking at us one by one.
"I think we can give it a try. We are not going to challenge all the NPCs in the Oriental Cathedral. As long as we take advantage of the opportunity to kill those who are praying in the middle of the night, it will be worth it even if we all die in battle. Once we leave the church and resurrect outside, we can wait for the 'Anti-Traitor Squad' to hunt us down. As the saying goes, evil will be punished, and we want to show everyone that traitors will never have a good end." Qiu Shui Changtian looked gritting his teeth and acting viciously, as if he was thinking of his three sacrificed men and the people being chased fleeing in the city.
"Yes, although our number is smaller, Long Xingtianxia and A'dai, who possess magical weapons, are here, and we have been through a hard time together, so we have developed some friendship and trust each other more. Killing and destroying their entire family may not be possible, but I think it should be no problem to kill an unattended person in the middle of the night who can only concentrate on 'repentance'." The speaker was another undead wizard, Ghost Husband, who seemed to be familiar with Qiu Shui Changtian and stood with him at both gatherings.
Long Kong and I naturally had no objection. Since the remaining Undead Wizard Xi Kunlun and the Magic Knight Luo Ri were summoned here like us, they would not be afraid of trouble and would hate betrayal very much. So the plan of making a surprise attack and breaking into the Oriental Cathedral again to kill the man who was left alone in the middle of the night was decided.
Long Xingtianxia contacted first and confirmed that no one was praying in the Oriental Cathedral in the middle of the night. I estimated the time and found that it had only been about ten hours at most, and there were still two hours before the end. This time was enough to rush there and kill him. Without further ado, the seven of us, who were "wanted criminals of the Church of Light" with red light on our bodies, immediately headed for Beijing City. Long Xingtianxia and I were more seriously guilty and were sentenced to half a month each. The other five did not participate in the destruction of holy objects, so their crimes were slightly lighter and they were sentenced to seven to ten days respectively.
In order to avoid being caught in the act, we did not take the official road. We did not meet many players along the way. Occasionally, a few of them just looked at us curiously and then went their separate ways. No one came forward to meddle in our affairs. When we arrived at the city gate, the NPC guarding the city looked at us for a few more times, but did not interfere with our actions. The NPCs and players can distinguish which department we are wanted by. These NPCs belong to the mercenary guild system and will not interfere in other people's affairs. Although there are many players in the city, it is not good for ordinary people to kill us. There are very few players of the Light Department. After all, this is the Eastern Continent. The gate has not been open for a long time. We should see if we can meet a few "traitors" or "traitors" who "do what is right" and come to trouble us. In fact, even if some people have bad intentions, looking at our group of seven level 5 professional necromancers and magic knights (you can no longer choose to hide your professional badge during the wanted period), we can only give up the idea of shooting after weighing our strength. However, we also quickened our pace and rushed to the Eastern Cathedral quickly, so as not to let someone tip them off and let them take precautions in advance.
We broke into the cathedral, and there were still eight elite knights of light standing on the inside of the door. However, this time we ignored them and rushed into the hall at a faster pace. At a glance, we saw Yebanwuren, a man in black armor, sitting in front of the angel statue, with his head slightly lowered, his elbows supporting the table, and his hands clasped across his chest. He seemed to be praying, as if he didn't notice our intrusion and didn't react at all.
However, he was surrounded by people, all of them were NPCs of light-related combat professions. Not only were the White Cardinal and the Sky Knight personally guarding by his side, but there were also three archbishops and the Earth Knight. In addition, there were forty or fifty level five bishops and elite knights. Their strength was definitely above ours. We would have no chance of winning in a head-on battle. However, our goal was only to kill the traitor who was guarded in the middle and had no ability to protect himself. There was no one around in the middle of the night, so we might have a chance if we risked our lives.
