Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 463: Offering Faith
I'm going to...
The unrivaled archer was suddenly speechless.
It feels like the person in front of me and I are running towards this destination in both directions.
Great Strength Works Miracles (Paladin): "What's wrong, brother? There's no need to be so angry. It's just an NPC. You can spawn it again later. Just take it easy. I have to go back to hand in the quest."
The Archer Wushuang (Hunter): "I'm not angry, I'm just a little speechless. You should be more open-minded. I just killed that Holy Light Preacher."
Great strength brings about miracles: "I'll go..."
After the two groups exchanged secret codes, they immediately understood the current situation.
It feels like a religious war. The Holy Light Preacher sent people to kill the Demon Dragon Preacher, and the Demon Dragon Preacher hired people to kill the Holy Light Preacher. In the end, both preachers were killed together. It was an extreme one-for-one exchange.
Dalichu Miracle was a little confused and said, "Brother, you are stupid. The belief in Holy Light is so powerful. The Storm Dragon is just a world boss. It is probably not even a demigod. What's the point of believing in it?"
"Free ferry tickets to Northrend."
"...Okay, this benefit is okay, but unfortunately I'm a paladin, so I still need to improve my reputation with the Church of Holy Light."
As he said this, he reached out and touched the corpse, and immediately took out a book.
Fortunately, the mission item exploded.
[Secret Book of the Dragon Cult (Quest Item)
Item Introduction: The religious book carried by the Dragon Preacher seems to hint at his origins. The priests seem to be very interested in this item after handing it over to the Holy Light Preacher. 】
The archer Wushuang standing by was a little surprised, "Why did the Dragon Preacher reveal the Dragon Worship Secret Book? Shouldn't it be the Dragon Secret Book?"
Dali Chu Miracle explained, "My mission description says that Prince Aidan is secretly colluding with the Dragon Cult, so I need to collect evidence. I won't say more. I have to hand in the mission."
Although both sides’ quest NPCs have died, fortunately this is a game and the NPCs will still appear.
And there was not only one Holy Light Preacher in the city, but there were many adventurers who had achieved the accomplishment of Dragon Guardians. After searching for a long time, they finally found a living Holy Light Preacher.
Dali performed a miracle and delivered the mission item to the Holy Light Preacher. However, the other party took a look at the Dragon Cult Secret Book and immediately showed an angry expression.
Holy Light Preacher: "Let me see, damn it, I know it, the true identity of Storm Dragon King Aidan Delon is actually an ally of the Dragon Worship Cult. Cooperating with such an evil organization, Prince Aidan must have already fallen into darkness!"
Dali Qichu Miracle asked curiously, "What kind of organization is the Dragon Worship Cult?"
Holy Light Preacher: "The Dragon Cult is a very ancient evil organization that was once prosperous thousands of years ago. They tried to enslave humans and make them slaves of dragons forever. Later, they were destroyed by Emperor Thoradin himself. I didn't expect that there are still remnants.
What is even more unexpected is that Prince Aidan of Alterac has actually been connected to this evil organization. No wonder he can transform into a dragon. There must be a more terrifying conspiracy behind this.”
Great Strength Works Miracles: "Ah! What should we do? Should we report this matter to the Holy Light Church?"
Holy Light Preacher: "No, this secret book alone cannot prove Prince Aidan's betrayal. We must find more definite evidence. Adventurer, are you willing to accept this arduous task and find a way to sneak into Dragonslayer Castle, which is Prince Aidan's evil stronghold, and find definite evidence in Prince Aidan's room."
System prompt: Trigger the church mission - The Prince's Conspiracy.
Mission content: Sneak into Dragon's Death Castle, find evidence of Prince Aidan's corruption, and bring the evidence back to the Church of Holy Light.
Mission rewards: Advanced divine spell × 1, gold coins × 100, Holy Light Church reputation × 1000.
This must be taken! Dali Chu Miracle thought, everything else is fine, this advanced divine art is very powerful, currently only by completing the church's hidden mission can you have a chance to obtain it, a powerful skill can often double the value of the player.
But how to sneak into Dragonslayer Castle? This is a problem...
…
Dragon Preacher: "Well done, mortal. You have proven your loyalty and are qualified to become a member of the Dragon Guard. In the coming doomsday storm, you will surely be the survivor of the new world. Now, go to Dragonslayer Castle and meet the incarnation of the Storm Dragon..."
The Unparalleled Archer took a look at the corpse on the ground, then looked at the Dragon Preacher who was speaking eloquently and without any abnormality, and thought that the refresh speed of this NPC was quite fast.
[System prompt: After completing the test, you can go to Dragonsong Castle to meet the Storm Dragon King .
Mission reward: obtain the title [Dragon Guardian].
Very good!
Archer Wushuang thought that now he could go to Northrend and continue working there.
I can't wait to set off, but before leaving, I have to go to Dragon Castle to collect the other half of the mission reward.
Fortunately, Dragon's Death Keep was not far from the city of Alterac, and we arrived there soon. As soon as we arrived at the outskirts of the castle, we saw a group of paladins and priest players wandering around the castle.
There is actually an acquaintance here.
"Hey, Dali brother, what are you doing here?"
As the Unparalleled Archer was about to enter the castle, the guards at the door naturally made way for him.
This immediately attracted the attention of the Paladin and Priest players.
"Ah, Mr. Archer, we are on a quest. We need to steal a quest item from the castle. Are you going to hand in the quest? Can you do me a favor and take me into the castle?"
Wushuang the Archer glanced at the Dragon Knight guards at the city gate and asked uncertainly, "Can it work?"
"You'll know after you give it a try. Please help me. How about 50 gold coins as long as you can take me in?"
Jianke Wushuang is not a stingy person. The key is that he has become accustomed to carrying bricks, and he will certainly not miss the opportunity to make money.
"Okay, but let me make it clear first, if the guards don't let you in, I won't refund your money."
"And me and me!"
"Brother, I'll be one of them."
They formed a group of four people at once
After entering the castle, Archer Wushuang disbanded the team. He didn't want to be implicated if these people were discovered stealing things.
Following the long line of people doing the quest, he soon arrived at the castle hall of the Knights.
Prince Aidan sat on the lord's throne.
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Very good, young warriors. You have proved your loyalty and faith. Welcome to become a member of the Dragon Guard. Now, offer me your faith and you will be rewarded."
Murphy recited his lines to the adventurers enthusiastically. It was not because he was excited about these adventurers joining him, but mainly because he had gained a lot of faith points in that day.
Murphy looked at the faith points with satisfaction. In just two days, he had earned more than 50,000 faith points. If there weren't so few Holy Light Preachers in the city and the refresh was too slow, and he had to wait for the refresh to complete the third ring of the Dragon Guard quest, he would probably have earned more.
After all, who doesn't want a free boat ticket?
This is the benefit of having scarce resources.
Adventurers are creatures that don’t care whether you are a god or a devil. Don’t try to fool them unless you give them benefits.
As long as there are benefits, not to mention the Storm Dragon, even the Burning Legion will do the work.
Fortunately, he still had some resources in his hands. Although the benefits he could provide were not too amazing, they were irreplaceable. Relying on free tickets and the Storm Dragon's prayer skills, he still attracted a lot of believers.
However, compared with the believers absorbed by the Church of Holy Light, there is still a huge gap.
Because the Holy Light Preacher is the main god of faith, its effect on NPCs is quite good. In comparison, the Storm Dragon's faith is pitifully small.
After one wave of adventurers left, new adventurers immediately came up.
Murphy had no choice but to continue repeating his lines.
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Very good, young warriors, you have proved your loyalty and faith, welcome to become a member of the Dragon Guard. Now, offer me your faith, and you will be rewarded.
Mortal, from now on, you are my servant. Serve me and I will grant you great power."
Several players nearby immediately knelt on one knee, "Great Storm Dragon, I am willing to offer my faith to you, and I am willing to pray to you devoutly..."
The Archer Wushuang was completely confused. He was a hunter and had never been to a temple. How could he offer his faith?
"Hey bro, how do you do this?"
"It's very simple. Open the action interface. There is a 'Pray' action. Add the keyword 'Storm Dragon' to the prayer action, or you can just recite it directly. The system will judge it."
The unrivaled archer repeated it.
System prompt: You are praying to a 'divine creature'. Do you want to abandon your original belief and convert to a new one? Yes/No.
Hmm? I still have someone to believe in?
After checking, the Archer Wushuang found out that it was true. He used to believe in Anser, the sun god. It seemed that he chose it randomly when he created the account. However, it didn't seem to have any effect. It was mainly useless for the hunter profession.
[System prompt: You have obtained a new belief [Storm Dragon Faith]. Due to your identity as a dragon guard, you have obtained the gift of the Storm Dragon. You can learn one of the following two prayer skills for free.]
The Unparalleled Archer checked the bonus skills: Wind Step and Protective Whirlwind.
Hey, the rewarded skills are actually pretty good.
Jianke Wushuang looked at the two prayer skills in front of him and was quite surprised.
I originally just wanted to get a free boat ticket, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
There is no doubt that it must be Windwalker. For ranged hunters, mobility is very useful. However, he also noticed the description of the skill Protective Whirlwind. This skill is specifically aimed at ranged physical attacks. It seems that he has to pay attention to it in future PVP.
【Dragon Guardian (Rare Title)
Title rewards: Free ride on the Storm Dragon King fleet, 1 Storm Dragon Prayer, 1 Dragon Mark.
Title Introduction: The title of a fanatical believer of Storm Dragon Aidan Deron. You are willing to give everything to protect Storm Dragon. When Storm Dragon is in danger, you will accept the call and fight for it. 】
Just as Murphy sent these adventurers away, he heard a system prompt in his ears.
[System prompt: Someone has stolen the evidence of your collusion with the Dragon Cult, triggering a pursuit. Do you want to join the battle? You can also assign a subordinate to accept the challenge, or the system will generate a copy.
Mission objective: Hunt down the adventurers who sneak into Dragon's Castle and eliminate them before they escape from Dragon's Castle.
Mission Success: Your crime will not be discovered.
Mission failed: Your black index will increase by 1%, and your reputation in the alliance will decrease by 1,000 points. 】
Here we go again...
Murphy felt a headache. The more fun it was to gain faith points, the more annoying it was to catch adventurers.
Two days ago, when he returned to the castle, he found a box in the bedroom. It could not be moved or destroyed. As long as the adventurer opened the box, he would find a secret letter from the Dragon Cult to Prince Aidan.
These past two days, adventurers have been sneaking in from morning to night to steal letters.
There was no peace most of the night.
Originally, he thought that this quest line would trigger a BOSS battle. As the quest BOSS, it would be a piece of cake to eliminate these trustworthy adventurers. However, he did not expect that this final challenge would be hide-and-seek. As long as the adventurers escaped from the range of Dragon Castle, the mission would be completed.
So in order to not lose his reputation, he has been trying his best to catch the thief in the past two days.
Moreover, this task can only be completed by one BOSS at a time, which is really troublesome.
Fortunately, he had an item in his gear that was just right for the situation.
Eranikus's Fel Eye (Offhand Item/Epic)
This piece of equipment has a very useful special effect——
Equipment Effect 2: Evil Dragon Eye. Summons a floating Evil Dragon Eye with 300 HP and gains the vision of the Evil Dragon Eye. The Evil Dragon Eye can move freely within 1000 yards around you and can see invisible units.
This thing is simply prepared for the current situation.
Murphy had already flown the Evil Dragon's Eye to the top of the castle. He immediately turned on the Eye's vision, and a bird's-eye view of the entire castle immediately came into view.
Four adventurers were sneaking out of the castle from different directions.
A man on horseback prepared to force his way through the gate.
A thief turned on stealth and tried to sneak out.
One of them sneaked into the basement, probably wanting to stay there for a while and then run out after the storm had passed.
One of them climbed onto the roof and tried to jump out of the wall behind the castle.
"Oh, you're pretty smart. You split up and acted separately. It's a pity that you met me."
Murphy walked out of the castle directly, transformed into a storm dragon, flew to the city gate first, and killed the mounted paladin on the spot with a breath of air.
Then he flew to the roof and slapped the assassin who was about to climb over the wall to death.
Then there were the thieves, and finally the guy hiding in the cellar.
In less than five minutes, all four adventurers were wiped out.
Back in the lord's hall, Murphy began to worry.
It's not a good idea to keep doing this. A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Got it! Murphy suddenly had an idea and simply summoned back the companion storm, letting it directly cover the Dragon Sorrow Castle.
With the heroic specialty of Storm Master, his followers and subordinates will not be harmed by the storm at all and can enter and exit freely. However, those who want to steal quest items will be affected by environmental damage, storm slowdown, and lightning output once they enter the storm. In addition, the Storm Dragon Riders are constantly patrolling in the sky, so they cannot escape even on flying mounts.
Now I can finally rest easy .
But from that day on, Dragonslayer Castle was shrouded in a strange storm, which became a special landscape in Alterac.
