Chapter 619: Monastery of the Holy Spirit (I)
Within the Duchy of Moon, there is a player's leveling mecca, which is located in the depths of the Glenbel Mountains, where there are few strange people and rich rewards, and players can not only earn a lot of experience after a dungeon, but also the equipment and money in their pockets can be filled. It can even be said that before the first expansion was released, this was almost the first choice for the majority of players in the Principality of Moon to level up and brush money, so in the Golden City, from time to time, you can see all kinds of low-level players holding wooden boards in their hands, wandering around the square, with a line of big lettersβββ "Rookie kneeling and begging to brush the monastery on behalf of the Great Generation".
That is the Monastery of the Holy Spirit.
Strictly speaking, it was a gathering place for cultists.
The predecessor of the Holy Spirit Monastery was the territory of the Archangel Wisdom, one of the three archangels under the Dragon of Light, during the Creation War, but in the subsequent Creation War, because of the stalemate and transfer of the war, the Archangel of the Wise gave up this territory, and then the Holy Spirit Monastery was buried in the dust of history. But the people in the monastery did not die because of this. Just as elves descend into black elves when they go underground, these groups of half-angels and humans have gradually changed over the years of abandonment, and it is not known whether they first abandoned the faith of the dragon of light, or the dragon of light abandoned them, and in short, these people eventually formed a new, independent militant group, the Knights of the Holy Spirit, while others called them the blood heretics.
The Order is entrenched in the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, they have abandoned their glory to fight only for greater power, they hate the Dark Dragon, but at the same time they have no affection for the Light Dragon who has abandoned them. The Knights of the Holy Spirit believe in destruction and death, believing that all existence will eventually be reduced to nothingness, and they are the spokesmen of destruction. They will use their actions to spread the truth of destruction to every corner of the continent.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is an extremist organization specializing in terrorist activities, but their energy is obviously much stronger than that of car bombs.
The current Holy Spirit Knights are not really that famous, they are still in a dormant period, and even in the Duchy of Moon, few people have actually heard of their existence. These people became famous after the Night Dragon Nation went to war against the Light Dragon Country. The Holy Spirit Knights thought that this was a precursor to the destruction of the continent and a revelation from fate, and then these guys rushed out in a swarm βββ wreaked havoc everywhere.
For the Holy Spirit Knights, players can't say that they are good or bad, at most they find them annoying, because this group of people is completely crazy, they can fight anyone they see, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Often, on the battlefield, the Night Nation and the Light Nation are in the thick of a fierce battle. Then a group of knights in blood-red armor inexplicably rushed out from the side, shouting slogans that no one understood, and charging at both sides at the same time.........
Don't say it, ordinary people really don't have the courage to "be the enemy of the whole world".
Moreover, the Holy Spirit Knights are notoriously not afraid of death, they regard their own death as part of destruction, and for them, it is simply the highest honor to be able to cause greater destruction and then dedicate themselves to destruction and death. So in the beginning when the Holy Spirit Knights appeared. Whether it's the Land of Night, the Land of Light, or the Duchy of Moon, it's a headache. No one wants to fight a good fight, and they were suddenly disrupted by such a group of uninvited guests. Of course. In the eyes of the player, they are still quite useful, because the Holy Spirit Knights have a high natural hatred value for the Night Dragon Country, and most of the Night Dragon Kingdom are undead, which is more in line with their definition of "destruction", so many times when the player's team is defeated by the Night Dragon Country, these guys dare to bravely rush over from the side to fight the undead army to the death. Although their actions eventually proved to be nothing more than mantis arm blocking the car, it also bought the player a little time, enough for them to rub back to the city or something.........
However, after everyone became familiar with the playing style of the Holy Spirit Knights, they found that they are simply the most competent experience points.
Most of the Holy Spirit Knights are half-angels half-bloods - and later they are half-angels, but either one. All ensure that their level is very high, and the average level of the Holy Spirit Knights is around fifty-five to sixty-five, which is really scary at first glance. But on the other hand, the Holy Spirit Knights generally do not have any rich skills, their skills are very simple, and easy to guess, not to mention the long lead time, and the speed is slow. Although it is said to be a "knight order", in fact most of them are infantry, and knights make up only a small part. Coupled with the fact that the Holy Spirit Knights always like to rush to the top, this is indeed a tricky thing for players of the same level. But for those high-level players, it is simply better, he doesn't have to spend any effort to sweep the enemies in an area, as long as he kills one or two, then the members of the Holy Spirit Knights in the entire area will rush up like a hornet's nest, and then a few magic will boom over, and then you can directly wait to touch the corpse and get the equipment.
So in the game, veterans and new players usually rush directly into the gate of the Holy Spirit Monastery, and then kill one at random, and then you can see the black pressure shouting slogans they don't understand and don't care about, and then they are cleaned up together.
So for players, this kind of monster with high attack and low defense, slow movement speed, high level, few skills and more experience points will not get tired of it no matter how many times it is brushed. Moreover, although the Holy Spirit Monastery has become a gathering place for heretics, there are still some equipment and weapons from the Creation War period. Not to mention that the Holy Spirit Knights are still quite rich.........
Because of this, not to mention mages, single-brush classes such as summoning swordsmen and rangers can go to the Holy Spirit Monastery when they are at the same level, and even classes like thieves dare to rely on kites and traps to farm mobs. Of course, for professions like Shield Combat and Spirit Master, it is still impossible to brush alone at the same level. For close-quarters classes that don't have many large-scale attack skills and are bound to be surrounded by the opponent into a sea of people, it's still a little more difficult to brush alone.
When Rhodes was in the game, until the Duchy of Moon was destroyed, most of his rank and wealth were farmed in the Holy Spirit Monastery, after which he formed a guild. In order to help newcomers level up, he has not brought many people here. So when Lydia handed Glen Bell to him, Rod's first instinct was to think of this leveling mecca. But for Rod, it's not just experience, money, and equipment that he values most, but two things hidden in the monastery of the Holy Spirit. And that's the best item to deal with the undead legion.
However, Rhodes didn't have that idea before, although he had always known the location of the Holy Spirit Monastery, but Rod also knew that he didn't have the capital to go to the Holy Spirit Monastery now. Don't look at the players in the game who use it as an experience bank, they can brush as much as they want, that is at least at the same level as the other party, and as far as Rhodes' current level is concerned, it is still more than ten or twenty levels lower than those heretics, although the other party is only a little higher. Strictly speaking, it's not the kind of pervert who really stepped into the legendary realm (otherwise how to brush it), but Rhodes's level is even lower, in this case, he wants to go to the Holy Spirit Monastery, which is undoubtedly equivalent to looking for death, not to mention, the pair of dog men and women in the monastery are not easy to deal with.........
However, now it is different, Glen Bell has become his own territory, and Rhodes has also confirmed the expansion of his territory in the system. This also marks another increase in the range of canaries and little bubblegums. That's certainly a good thing for the two, all the time. The Canary and Little Bubblegum were trapped in the small part of the Land of Atonement, unable to wander around as they pleased, and although they were not resentful of this, Rhodes still felt that they had been treated badly. Even if the two of them are not really human, they are just a microcosm of Rod's memory, but for Rod. In such a world, which is almost uprooted from home, familiar and unfamiliar, it is good to have two people who are familiar with you by your side, even if it is just a phantom.
So this time. Rhodes made a decision, that is, this time there were only three people who went to the Holy Spirit Monastery: him, the canary, and the little bubblegum. As for the others, they were not allowed to follow, not even Anne, who had always liked to be a follower for herself.
As for the safety of the fortress, Rhodes is not worried, Corinna came to the fortress of the Land of Atonement after finishing the report with Lydia, but of course it is impossible to live in the stronghold of Starlight with her identity, but to stay with the people of the church as a representative of the elves, there is such a legendary field of people watching the scene, Rod does not feel that there is anything to worry about, not to mention that there are seven loves on the side, even if there is any trouble, the little fox can also use his ghost ideas to teach those visitors with bad intentions a good lesson.
During this time, Seven Love has not appeared, and no one knows what she is doing, because after Rhodes sent away the group of alchemists, he went to talk to Seven Love, and then Seven Love quietly disappeared. Although she is still in the fortress, she basically does not show up now, which is very rare for Seven Love. Even Lijie and Anne didn't know what she was doing. Only Rod knew it, but he didn't intend to say it because he had his own ideas.
It's late autumn.
The dead leaves on the trees have almost gone, and the bare branches and cold winds whistling through the mountain trails show that autumn is about to leave and that it is only a matter of time before the cold winter arrives. There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky, and it looked a little desolate. However, the lively sound broke the silence of the mountain road, making the world that had lost its color seem to be alive again.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect to see the day when you play a rookie, the head of the regiment."
Walking in the front, little bubblegum turned around, with an excited smile, pointed and danced at Rode, and said like a lively lark. "Especially your expression at the time, hahaha, I can't help but want to laugh when I think about it now, ah......... It's a pity, if it's in the original world, I must put the video of this scene of you, the head of the group, and put it on the forum, of course, there is still a fee! The title is called 'The Unknown Cute Side of Rhodes, the First Person in the Dragon Soul Continent'! I think this will definitely be a big hit on the forum, and it must be put on top and refined! β
"That's right, Bubbles."
Even the canary nodded in agreement.
"Rhodes and I are familiar in reality, but I haven't seen him do this in front of anyone......... It's a shame that I should have taken a screenshot at the time. But since Rhodes has done it for us, Bubbles, let alone brush the Abbey, we're going to kill him even if it's the Dark Dragon......... Of course. If he dares to come to our territory. β
"With your current equipment, even if I want you to clean up the Dark Dragon, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Rod shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but a smile of relief appeared in his eyes. That's why he only chooses to travel with canaries and little bubblegum, which will give him that relaxed and enjoyable feeling in the middle of the game again, in front of them. He can easily talk about level, equipment, how to farm dungeons, and how to storm bosses. But not in front of the others, neither Marlene, Lizzie, nor Anne, and Rhodes couldn't discuss them with them. After all, he and them are not from the same world, and Rhodes used to be just a passerby in this world, and he has no way to talk to the other party. The explanation is also not clear.
In a way. Rhodes is lonely in this world, although he has made a lot of achievements here, but this is more due to inertia, this world is exactly the same as the game he has played, he can achieve success in the game, as long as he follows his own experience, then it is not too much worse. And that's exactly what happened, but beyond that. Rhodes is also just a human being, and he is just as stressed. In the middle of the game. No matter how many people are hostile to him and hate him, he can at least have a group of like-minded companions to fight with, work with dungeons, chat and fart together, and despise and ridicule those who try to challenge him. In his spare time, he also talks about the trivial things around him. Then share some of the latest hunting news in the world or something, and when you play a dungeon, you can also shout loudly, "That idiot, you bastard, when you hit the boss for me again, you will get out of the water." β
Even if you accidentally get wiped out, you can get together to review your mistakes and start over.
But not here.
If in the game, the likes of Rhodes and Canary are just fighting for their face and dignity as top players. So here, everything he did was just to not be consumed by the coming terrifying war, he couldn't paddle in the face of the boss, and he couldn't tolerate the annihilation, because it was not only about his face, but also about his net worth.
In the game, you can start over when you die. But here, dead............ It's completely dead.
And now, in front of Canary and Little Bubblegum, he can finally let go of the pressure, return to the mentality of an ordinary player, and relax. That's why he didn't let Anne and the others come with him, because if they did, he wouldn't be able to chat with the canary and the bubbles so easily, and even if he did, he was playing the piano to the cow, and they couldn't hear many topics at all, which was not a tacit understanding, but from the same culture, background and world view. It's like in the fortress before, little bubblegum once took a bite of an apple and said solemnly, "This apple will definitely not last for three hours", which made both Rod and Canary laugh. But Marlene and the others were inexplicable, and they didn't understand what they were laughing at at all.
"It's also your fault that the equipment doesn't work, Rod, why don't you work hard and get the Dharma Protector Land within your power range, so that Bubbles and I can at least get two Dharma suits to fill up." But I'm going to put it first, if the Saint's Prayer Set comes out of the monastery this time, don't rob us. β
As she spoke, the canary straightened her robe. The two of them were wearing the most ordinary mage robes, and they didn't have any special mana power at all, which in the game's terminology was a complete tabula rasa equipment, and even in the item description, it was an item that could be completely discarded with just a phrase "ordinary robe". Although in the subsequent missions, Rhodes also played some magic equipment bits and pieces, but the two of them didn't look at each other at all, no wonder, even Rhodes didn't want those things.........
Moreover, with the current strength of Canary and Little Bubble Gum, as long as they don't encounter opponents of similar ranks, they won't cause any trouble because of equipment problems. So now their requirements for equipment, the attributes are secondary, and the beauty has become the first.
"Don't worry, Canary, if you really come out of the Holy Maiden suit, I will let you and Bubbles split equally, I will definitely not rob it."
Speaking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a little smile. Hearing his answer, the canary also nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and discussed with Little Bubblegum the question of how to divide it equally if it really swiped the Holy Maiden's suit............... And at this moment, suddenly, everyone heard a commotion not far in front of them.
What's wrong?
Hearing the sound, Rhodes, the canary, and the little bubble gum all stopped, looked at each other curiously, and then they looked ahead.
The three of them walked along the path, and after turning the detour of the mountain road, they finally saw the source of the noiseβββ only to see the source of the noise not far in front of them, two groups of mercenaries dressed as swords were unsheathed, facing each other. (To be continued.) )
