Sui Xiong never expected that someone would actually turn the horror experience game he jokingly named "Infinite Horror" into an adventure game.
According to his design, this group of rookie adventurers would search the castle for a day without finding any results. They would have to stay in the castle at night. They would be attacked by an evil spirit, their companions would be sacrificed, and the players themselves would be in danger. At that time, the earthbound spirit transformed by the old loyal servant came to help, and the two sides joined forces to kill the evil spirit. The old loyal servant also exhausted the magic power to survive, and entrusted the players to help find the descendants of the castle owner, and then disappeared. In the early morning light.
This story is of course not fiction, but the personal experience of a believer in his Kingdom of God. The believer was a man who kept his promises. He spent almost twenty years searching everywhere and finally found the heir of the castle. He took the heir who had become a small businessman to visit the castle again.
Unfortunately, because of the long lapse of time, there were new local lords. They were unable to get back the castle that should have belonged to the little businessman, and they were unable to write a perfect ending to this story.
Nearly fifty years have passed since this incident, but Sui Xiong feels that this story is very good and worth letting others experience it.
It's just... Judging from Yui's actions, I'm afraid that in this adventure, she can really lead this adventurous team composed of novice trainees to kill the evil spirit without the help of the loyal servant.
Maybe I have to spare that loyal servant again.
"What the hell is this! I haven't transformed into a big ball of light. Even if you win and pass the level, I don't have any reward points or side plots for you..."
Sui Xiong complained, but he was not bored enough to turn up the difficulty.
He was even seriously considering that if Yui really performed well, should he give her some extra rewards
Every player who experiences the horror adventure will receive a small amount of divine power during the game, which can keep them healthy and happy for a period of time in the future. This divine power comes from the transformation of the power of faith collected by the sacred tree, and is regarded as the legacy of Diarte, the god of fear. That guy had done a lot of bad things in his life, but after his death, Sui Xiong finally did a good deed with his inheritance.
If according to the settings in Sui Xiong's famous online novel before his time travel, this would be a reward for normal clearance. But if the player performs well, it seems unreasonable not to give some extra rewards
Sui Xiong thought about what reward should be better.
He thought for a while, but then suddenly burst into laughter - Yui and her temporary companions hadn't even seen either of the two ghosts yet, so there was no need to think about rewards so early!
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong stopped thinking about those boring questions and gave Yu Yi a thumbs up.
"Come on, little girl, I'm optimistic about you!"
Sui Xiong's optimism did not help Yui, and now she has a headache.
My teammates really lived up to their reputation as rookies! When they wanted to investigate a haunted place, this group of people didn't even prepare a few weapons and props specially designed to deal with ghosts!
Ghosts are spirits, and ordinary weapons are ineffective against them. Even low-level magic weapons will have about half a chance of directly penetrating their translucent bodies without causing any harm. If you want to harm them effectively, you need to use weapons that have received divine blessings, or weapons that are specifically targeted at spirits. Of course, because they are undead, weapons with special effects on undead can also be fully effective.
Among this type of weapons, the easiest to obtain is the weapon with divine blessing. The average adventurer will prepare two or three bottles of holy water. When encountering ghost enemies, just apply holy water on the weapon to temporarily make the weapon sacred. Bless them and have a more practical and reliable effect on them. If holy water can be poured directly onto ghosts, it can cause serious damage to such monsters. If you use refined high-level holy water, you can even directly kill higher-level undead creatures.
Naturally, this group of adventurers also had holy water, but there was only one bottle.
Yui didn't give up at first, but after repeated inquiries and searches several times, she finally faced the reality helplessly.
They only have a bottle of holy water and no other weapons or props that are effective against ghosts.
The worst part was not this, but that after careful inspection, Yui determined that the bottle of holy water was of inferior quality. If you drink a whole bottle of the evil spirit that is causing trouble, you may be able to severely injure the opponent. Otherwise... applying a layer of this holy water on the weapon probably won't help much anyway.
"It doesn't matter, the priest can drive away the undead." The trainee soldier said carelessly.
Yui covered his face with his hands and gave up trying to explain to this bull.
What is "magic strength", what is "will confrontation", what is "concentration of divine grace"... Is it possible for this guy to understand
Not to mention, the trainee priest in their team is specialized in luck and travel!
Luck and travel areas? !
Can you believe it? The four most important areas for a priest - the "war" direction that can enhance the combat capabilities of comrades, the "life" direction that can enhance healing, the "elements and planes" direction that can enhance dispersal capabilities, and the ability to summon or counter-summon In the direction of "living things or undead", he actually doesn't know any of them!
In the past, Yui never believed that there could be priests who didn't master any of the four major fields, but now she believed it.
The world is such a big place, there are all kinds of people and all kinds of weirdos, and what’s even worse is that she happened to meet them!
To be honest, the luck field and the travel field are actually not bad. The former can allow priests to gain extra good luck. There are also many special spells in the mysterious and protective directions. The most important thing is that after reaching a high level, it can greatly reduce the magic power. The magic of descending causes damage to oneself, so almost all the priests of Goddess of Luck are good at divine descent. Goddess of Luck is also one of the gods who most often incarnates in the lower world. The latter allows the priest to move faster than ordinary people, and is immune to most spells and traps that restrict movement, and can provide very effective spells such as teleportation, dimensional gates, search, positioning, etc.
However...who has ever seen a pastor study both fields at the same time
This is obviously a lone ranger role, but the role of a pastor is to stand among the crowd, leading and assisting everyone!
Could it be that underneath this guy's honest appearance, there is a heart that says "The world is so big, I want to see it"
Yui tried hard to hold back the thought of lamenting and carefully considered the possibility of successfully driving away the undead.
zero.
As an academic mage, she can estimate the results of various spell confrontations relatively accurately. She cannot say that she will hit the target with perfect accuracy, but she can at least have an accuracy rate of 70 to 80%.
The greater the difference in strength between the person being estimated and her, the lower the accuracy of the estimate. The trainee priest's strength is quite inferior to her in reality. The success rate of this estimate is at least 90%.
If that rookie trainee priest uses the "dispelling" ability, even if the target is the most common ghost, the success rate will not exceed 30%.
Of course, ordinary ghosts cannot scare the smugglers so much that they would rather hire adventurers than come back, so the evil spirits must be the ones causing trouble in the castle.
Dispelling evil spirits is much more difficult than dispelling ordinary ghosts. Even if a formal priest takes action, if he does not master the "sun" field that can enhance the dispersal effect, or masters the "undead" field that can strengthen the control of undead creatures, otherwise at least he must Only with the level of an intermediate priest can you have about half the chance.
If it were this rookie... an ordinary priest should be able to use the dispelling ability three to five times a day. Even if it was based on the highest standard, it would be impossible to eliminate the evil spirit five times.
Of course, the effect is still estimated to be there. For example, it may be able to weaken the opponent a little bit, and for example, it will definitely make the evil spirit furious and attack him crazily...
Thinking of this, Yui couldn't help but sigh again.
Other people's adventure teams have knights or warriors in the front, rangers and thieves are responsible for supporting, and priests and mages are assisting in the rear. How come she has become a priest to support monsters, and warriors, knights and rangers basically can't be counted on. , the main output is actually her, a trainee mage!
Oh my God! Can you believe it!
Low-level mages have the weakest direct attack ability among all professions. How much heart does it take to let a trainee mage be the main attacker to be calm and calm about this
Anyway, Yui really couldn't calm down.
She made some calculations and finally had to put her hope in the role she played.
Well, a little mage who was only at the apprentice level and determined to specialize in energy spells, and he was very good at playing fire, thunder, lightning, and frost.
In reality, she would sneer at such a fool - direct attack spells at the trainee level are of no use! Trainee mages should try their best to master auxiliary spells! When you really need to attack directly, even a wooden stick is more reliable than "weak sparks", "slight electric shock", "cold ray" and so on!
At least in the last competition at the magic school, she ended up using a pair of short sticks to knock down an official mage who was two years older than herself. Facing her double short sticks that had a bit of a shadow of the "Double Wind Swords" Stick, that poor senior classmate couldn't even cast a single spell. She was beaten so hard that she ran away with her head covered. In the end, she caught up with her and beat her head and face hard...
But now, she had to thank the rookie for his spell selection.
In any case, at least the effect of these spells on ghosts is real, without any discount.
As long as she uses these spells properly and hits every hit, the ghost will definitely lose half of its life even if it is not dead.
If you were lucky and hit the vital point, you might be killed directly.
Although... it's hard.
(Oh! Why don’t you let me play a ranger? Whether it’s a double sword or a short bow, I’m actually quite good at both!)
Yui complained like this, but in the end he was helpless.
