Chapter Ninety-Six
The player's confrontation with the NPC guards doesn't make any special sense, and many of them are just making fun of it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info and An Yizhi, who was engulfed in it, was even more innocent, and was taken directly to the city wall with the crowd.
"Look, that's Sirius, the vice president of the Light of the Stars."
"It seems to be him, that armor is really handsome"
After climbing the city wall, Ann pointed to the two players nearby and muttered.
Sirius' gear hasn't changed much from the last time they saw him, and Sao Bao's bright silver armor is so prominent that players recognize him at a glance.
"Wait, am I dazzled? How do you feel that something is wrong? β
"The man of the light of the stars...... In retreat? β
As they said, in many previous games, the Light of the Stars failed miserably, with less than half of the staff left, and the players couldn't believe their eyes for a while.
The so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and even the star light of the victorious general has occasionally failed, but there has never been such a large casualty.
An Yizhi came a little late, and the outcome of the battle was almost certain at this point.
Skeletron is crushing the Starlight with a slaughtering stance, and many human stumps are scattered around it. Against the backdrop of broken swords and fragments of various weapons and armor, pale necromantic flames licked the green meadows outside the city.
"Arise, my people, my soldiers!"
Skeletons still stained with flesh and blood rose at the king's beckon, raising their broken weapons and swinging them at their former teammates.
The Starlight side also made sufficient preparations, and a large area of holy light shrouded the spirits of the awakened, but to no avail.
The pale ghostfire unleashed by Skeletron had the power to strengthen the undead and provide them with divine resistance, and only a few red cloud-like fire spells had some effect, but had little effect.
One of the characteristics of the undead is that they fight more and more, and the 200 people brought by Sirius have not only failed to provide bonus power, but have become a burden.
Now they are retreating very hard, the number of undead is too much, many nurses have to add health to front-line melee players while also taking care of the position to protect themselves, the difficult combat makes many players take care of one or the other, almost every moment someone falls to become a member of the undead.
An Yizhi secretly said in his heart that it was a pity that the strength of the current player was still weaker.
Skeletron has at least level 50, and bosses who have reached this stage are usually difficult to be overwhelmed by the number of people, and the average level of players in the closed beta is probably not even 20, even if the light of the stars pulls out the elite. An Yizhi didn't believe that these 200 were all strong people who had completed the level 15 growth dungeon, otherwise the scene would not be so embarrassing.
At this time, An Yizhi saw that there was a mage-type player in a red robe next to Sirius who was talking to Sirius, and the two sides seemed to be a little excited, a little arguing.
The red-robed man shook off Sirius' hand and raised his white oak staff in his hand, chanting a high-pitched incantation, echoing in his chant.
"Soldiers! Offensive! Stop him"
As he chanted, Skeletron discovered how extraordinary the spell was being prepared, and commanded his men to interrupt him, and threw the invincible golden scepter at the red-robed player himself.
"Bless! Divine grace! Powerful Protection! β
Sirius lifted the half-human-tall tower shield and added three buff skills in a row, seemingly intending to resist hard.
The golden scepter made a deafening pop when it came into contact with the tower shield, and the sonic wave was so strong that the players around him who were trying to help screamed and covered their ears.
Sirius himself was also injured in this confrontation, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and his face turned pale. The forearm of the hand holding the shield was unnaturally crooked, and he could no longer hold the heavy tower shield, and he fell to one knee on the ground in pain.
The red-robed player's chanting continued, ignoring the casualties of his teammates and preparing spells with all his might.
The chanting grew louder and louder, as if echoing the red-robed player, and the sky that had been clear just now was gradually covered by thick dark clouds, and a trace of electric light swam in it, and it was not difficult to imagine what kind of thunderous fury was contained in it.
"Lightning...... Storm ......"
With the last spell, the thunder in the sky leapt down, and the thick lightning beam bombarded down with an irresistible force, completely enveloping Skeletron's body.
There is no way to avoid it!
Lightning Storm's skill quality is as high as B! Even if the level of the player who uses it is too low, which drags down its damage range and strength, but in any case, B-class is B-class, and the power is shocking.
The onlookers on the city wall were shocked by this scene of thunder and destruction, and no one whispered, staring intently at Skeletron who had suffered this big move.
"This ...... No way! Burst! β
The red-robed player's eyes burst out, and the backlash brought by the over-level spell cast instantly zeroed his life and mana, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood mist, he fell to the ground with hatred and died, and a ray of white light rose into the air and returned to the city to be resurrected.
As soon as he died, the lightning storm that continued to bombard vanished due to the loss of the caster, leaving behind only a devastated and ionized liquid glassy liquid.
"Whoever offends the king, die!"
Skeletron didn't look hurt at all, he raised his right hand, a ring of crackling lightning on his phalanx glowing......
An Yizhi almost didn't regret dying, Nima knew that I would have taken off the rings on both hands!
Of course, the Red-robed player's actions weren't entirely in vain, at least he cleared out most of the undead that Skeletron evoked, making the survivors' retreat a lot easier.
Melee players retreat behind the temple, magic players retreat first and many ranged players carefully aim their weapons at Skeletron, ready to respond at any time and find ways to delay Skeletron's actions.
"There! Little thief, little thief in Los Angeles! I can feel you! I can smell you! Give me back the salamander's engraved book! Otherwise, no one should want to leave the city! β
Skeletron, who was about to pursue, turned his head sideways to look at the city wall, and the roaring sound couldn't help but make Ann's breath stagnate.
"What is it talking about? What thief? β
"The Book of Salamanders' Engravings? Is it the ninth Perfection gear on the leaderboard? β
"It's awesome, who stole the boss's stuff like that?"
The players whispered.
"Who the hell is so selfish. Consciously stand up and return the things to others, so as not to delay everyone going out of the city to practice"
A lot of people agreed.
An Yizhi also pretended to be in agreement, looking left and right, and the person who said this in his heart was really special to stand and talk without backache, if you changed you, would you return the perfect-level equipment?
Fortunately, An Yizhi did a lot of disguise when he grabbed things, and Skeletron didn't know his true identity, otherwise he would have become the target of public criticism by this time.
The people of the Starlight also took this opportunity to break away from Skeletron's pursuit with their badly wounded companions and a bunch of demoralized remnants, and ran to the other side of the city gate of the Asian Gate, which was blocked by the players watching the excitement......
"I suggest everyone go out of the city and let Skeletron recognize it, what it said to the people on our city wall just now, the player who took the thing must be in it, if you don't find that selfish guy, you can't go out of the city to level up"
The player who had just proposed spoke up again, and this time Ann had nowhere to run if he wanted to.
To be honest, this kind of guy who likes to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others is the type that An Yizhi hates the most - he often does what seems strange to others, and he is criticized by this kind of person a lot......
However, this statement is more reasonable, and it is indeed an irreparable loss for players who cannot level up, which greatly affects the game experience.
As a result, the majority of the people agreed with it, and the few rebuttals were drowned out in the inexplicable reason of 'collective interest'.
"Self-Propelled Demolition Spider ......"
Sitting still and thinking that it was not An Yizhi's style, he quietly activated the skill with good concealment, and was about to quietly pull up his hood, preparing to make a big explosion to completely disrupt the situation, and then take advantage of the chaos to run.
"The guards are coming! Run, everyone! β
A sharp shout came from the player's side, and following the prestige, a group of more than 100 heavily armored soldiers rushed towards the city wall with neat steps, this was not the kind of small soldier in charge of guarding the door, all of them were well-trained soldiers.
They violently pushed away any players who stood in their way, and if anyone resisted and mercilessly chopped their heads, blood quickly stained the entire street.
Seeing this scene, An Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
God help me......
ββββββββββ
The riots in front of the city of Yamen ended with the iron-blooded suppression of the NPC army, and any player who tried to resist was slashed and arrested after resurrection, charged with obstructing public order, and sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 1~12 hours (real time). During the detention, players could not log in to the game, so they had to wait for the time to end, and many innocent people who were involved ran to the forums to complain and demand an explanation from the game company.
And our protagonist was lucky enough to escape, not only was he not imprisoned, but he was not cut down by the guards.
Maybe it was the mark of Nikolai that played a role, or maybe it was his gorgeous robe that people didn't dare to underestimate, and his expression of pretending to be innocent was too realistic, in short, the soldier only interrogated An and let him go.
The fryers on the forum and the indignation between the players did not affect An Yizhi's plan, except for setting himself the rule not to watch the excitement casually in the future, he still prepared according to his plan.
Oh, and it wasn't all without impact, and his plan to go to the trading area to exchange for equipment skills had to be slowed down.
A large number of players were arrested and imprisoned early, which led to the collapse of the trading area, and many shopkeepers temporarily closed their stalls to watch the excitement, and are now squatting in a prison, and it is difficult to find anything good to go shopping now.
Finding a hotel closer to the workshop area, Ann Yizhi plans to rent a room as his long-term residence in the game, after all, you can't go into a secluded alley every time you make a book, right?
He has a lot of shady things on him, and every time he leaves the dungeon and appears directly on the crowded street, it is likely to increase the probability of being discovered. has long passed the age of competitiveness, and for him now, making a fortune in a muffled voice is the roar!
It seems that there are still a lot of players who think like him, there are only three or five empty rooms left in this inn, and aside from NPC adventurers, many long-term rentals are basically players.
The price is not expensive, 4000 game coins is enough for a month's (real-time) rent.
Waving his hand and rejecting the innkeeper's suggestion to ask if he needed three meals, An Yizhi took the key and followed the boss's instructions to find his room.
The furnishings are nice, a soft single bed, a desk under the round wooden window, a bottle of freshly picked gardenia in the corner of the table, and a faint floral fragrance in the air.
He pulled back the chair under his desk and sat down, pulling out the trap bird that Niko had given him from his dimensional pocket.
Do you activate this item? γ
"Yes"
[Activation requires the consumption of a magic gem above the elite level]
After thinking about it, An Yizhi shoved the secondary demon seal crystal into the trap bird's mouth.
The strange things in this growth copy have little effect on An Yizhi at this stage, and his main attack methods are mostly D-level, and the highest can only be infused with E-level secondary demon forbidden crystals, even if they are not here, they will be sold by him and replaced with other more useful equipment.
γActivating, please wait for ......γ
The change of the Trap Bird was almost immediate, and it could only be seen as a beautiful statue, but when activated, it moved its claws and wings like a living bird.
[Activation is successful, the contract is established, congratulations to the player An Yizhi for obtaining the demon]
It turned its neck made of original metal, its scarlet gemstone eyes blinked, and it pointed at Ann in a sweet voice like a young girl:
"Are you the old lady's master?"
