Chapter 254: The Chaotic Battle in the Suburbs (Part I)
Without the cover of the outer robes, the set of equipment on Charles's body was naturally exposed.
With the exception of the Adamantite Chain Mail on the upper body, the bracers, boots, belt, and gloves, as well as a ring on the left hand, all have a very similar casting style.
Pure black, which is inlaid with purple lines or patterns, exudes elegance and nobility in the deep darkness. If there are other players with religious knowledge here, I'm afraid that it will soon be recognizable from the casting style and pattern, that this is a set of equipment from the Night Temple.
"Black Moon (5/5) equipped."
[Follower Frenzy]: Call on the gaze of the gods with a devout heart and let the divine brilliance of the Night Lady bless you, gaining temporary class levels, temporary combat skills, and temporary attributes. But beware, if you're not a follower of Sha'er, be careful with this set ability, as the Night Lady may notice the blasphemer. ”
Charles stared straight at the third set ability.
At the heart of his plan is Follower Mania.
As described in the system's textual sources, once this ability is activated, he may be noticed by the Night Lady Sha'er, or even provoke the wrath of a god.
However, Charles is not worried.
The [Strong] level of Ogma's blessing state on his body is equivalent to a Danshu iron coupon, unless he really does something that is unforgivable, directly threatening the calamity of the gods, those gods will carefully weigh it in the face of Ogma. Of course, gods like Ciric and Bane on opposite sides should be excluded.
Charles has made this judgment, and it has been carefully considered.
First of all, Lady Sha'er of the Night, and Lady Silvermoon Suren. It's a pair of twin gods that are fairly old. But in turbulent times. The Night Lady has not only murdered Abbrando, the god who controls the caves, dungeons, and dark regions. Later, many weak nameless gods died at her hands.
Then Sha'er put on a mask, still in the name of the dead gods, deceived their followers, gave magic and absorbed the power of faith.
Therefore, after the end of the turbulent era, the power of the Night Lady Sha'er quickly recovered from [Medium Divine Power] to [Strong Divine Power].
On the bright side. Shar and Ogma are gods of equal power, but Charles is not worried. In the realm of [Powerful Divine Power], there are also levels of subdivision, such as the Night Lady, who has just stepped into the door. Although Sha'er, Suren, and Ogma are the oldest of the gods, the Lady of the Night and the Lady of Silvermoon have not been in a stable state of divine power.
Just like the Lady of the Silver Moon in the downfall period, when her strength shrank at its worst, she only had poor [weak divine power], and she needed to seek refuge from other gods before she was lucky enough to be in her sister. The Night Lady Sha'er's men escaped.
According to the character of the Night Lady, this is a person who likes to hide behind the scenes. Even when dealing with her sister, Sha'er never directly participates in the fight, but secretly drives her followers to hunt down her chosen targets.
After much consideration, Charles decided to use the Black Moon Set's Follower Frenzy effect to allow the Night Temple group to locate him.
In this way, what will happen later, I'm afraid rookie players can think of it with their toes. The encounter between the hunting team of the Night Temple and the knights of the Bane Temple will inevitably collide with amazing sparks, and a fight is inevitable.
And that's exactly what Charles imagined.
On the surface, he is the high priest who leads a hundred elite dark knights, but in fact he is a small player who is far away from even a model. The holy relic [Musk's shadow brooch] gives him extraordinary camouflage ability, and with this ability, he is a fisherman hidden in the dark, manipulating the "sandpiper" of the Dark Knights to collide with the "mussel" of the Sha'er Church.
Charles doesn't need to bother much, following behind the Dark Knights, mending the leaks, and his personal experience points are definitely rising. And the hunting team sent by the Church of Sha'er must not be a good one, and the Dark Knight will fight with them, and there will be casualties until the team withers.
Earning his own experience points while weakening the power of the Bane and Sha'er churches at the same time, Charles dares to say that there is no better performance than this. When the main quest is settled, an "excellent" review will not run.
Of course, these assumptions were based on the fact that when he activated [Follower Mania], far away on the other side of the outskirts of Susar, hundreds of miles away in the Valley of Dusk, someone in the Temple of the Night could sense it.
"Do you activate [Follower Mania]?"
"Confirm."
Charles locked in his choice, and then a huge force of willpower converged from the distant sea of stars, pierced through the void, and poured directly into him.
"You gain 5 temporary class levels."
"+3 for all stats."
"Health, Attack, and Defense, as well as Reflections, Tenacity, and Will Immunity, are all increased by 50%."
"The bridge of power is being built...... You'll get a powerful temporary skill at random from Sha'er, the lady of the Night. “
"Random Skill ......"
"Encounter an unknown obstacle, and fail to obtain!"
Rows and rows of system information refreshed on the retina, and Charles watched fixedly, not feeling emotional fluctuations because of the exaggerated effect of the suit. He himself knows very well that these are things that can only be seen and cannot be touched, just like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, just an illusion.
What he really cares about is at the end.
"Skill acquisition failed."
"Failed to activate the set skill."
As two rows of red text popped out in succession, Charles felt the will of the gods that had just been infused disappear in an instant.
The feeling of power that had swelled in his body before was like a punctured balloon, which was suddenly beaten back to its original form, but Charles did not feel a sense of loss when he fell into the clouds, he was concentrating on other reactions after the strength subsided.
"Wow"
A large number of awakened forest birds chirped and chirped chaotically, and scattered into the distance.
Looking up at the sky, it was clearly a sunny day, and Charles actually had a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city, and his heart was depressed and palpitating.
In a trance, as if it were true or false, a pair of purple enchanting pupils appeared in the dark cloud curtain, and with anger, coldness, curiosity, etc., containing many emotions, staring at the mortals in the valley forest.
"The ...... of the Holy Advent"
It was as if a flickering female voice came from a deep cave, lingering in my ears. Charles had just held his breath to listen, when the voice suddenly thundered, "Damn! Ogma, it's you! ”
Drip.
Borrowing the effect of the suit, the initial communication line with the goddess in the 'Sea of Stars' god domain at the other end was suddenly interrupted.
Before Charles could feel the wrath of the Night Lady, all movement fell silent.
"I don't know if the Night Temple has received ......an edict from the gods," Charles looked down at the black bracer that covered his arm, staring at the dark purple pattern on it that was twisting and flickering, and secretly looked forward to it. (To be continued......)
