Because Ning Buwen's identity has become extremely important now, the number of people guarding him has suddenly increased.
Casso and Solomon even volunteered to protect Ning Buwen personally.
Who would have thought that in order to obtain the inheritance of the devil, an NPC would be needed to open it? If they hadn't been lucky enough to follow the clues and find the castle of the vampire, they probably wouldn't have known about this.
No wonder there are so many people who have passed this copy, but only a few can obtain the inheritance. It turns out that it is because they did not find the key person!
If they had gone too late, Nicholas might have been kidnapped and hidden by the vampires, and naturally no information would have been revealed; if they had not gone with them, Bishop Isaac would definitely not have revealed the importance of Nicholas. After all, the fewer people who knew about such a secret, the better.
As for doubting the authenticity of the information, they really didn't think about it.
No normal person would have thought that there would be a player so bold as to cheat both other players and NPCs, right
Moreover, the clue they found was reasonable, so why would they make random suspicions
If it were at the church headquarters, the key figure who could open the inheritance like Ning Buwen would naturally not be Casso and Solomon, who had just become a knight and a witcher.
But the number of knights brought by Isaac was limited after all. Now, not only did they have to protect Isaac, but they also had to protect Ning Buyen, which made them a little short of manpower. Therefore, after a little trouble, Solomon and Casso successfully became Ning Buyen's personal guards.
At this moment, Bishop Isaac was in the room removing the blood contract for Ning Buwen, while Solomon and Cass were waiting on the side.
The process of dissolving the blood contract was extremely dangerous, and even the bishop had to think twice. Therefore, those guarding the door were almost all the best figures in the Knights, while Solomon and Casso were discussing what to do next in Casso's room.
With the emergence of Nicholas, the focus of their current mission will have to change.
"I'm not worried that Bishop Isaac can't rescue Nicholas. What I care about more is what this person who opened the inheritance means?" Solomon couldn't help but ask.
If it can be opened with just Nicholas' blood, that would be the best, as preserving the blood is still easy; but if it is necessary to ensure that Nicholas arrives at the place of inheritance alive and well, then the difficulty will increase by several levels.
"It should be the latter." Casso pondered for a while. "The vampire has held Nicholas for such a long time. If he just wanted his blood, he would not have kept him until we came to rescue him. He made a blood contract on Nicholas and returned him to us. In addition to ensuring his own safe departure, he probably also wanted to use us to protect Nicholas."
After all, the non-human beings in this era are not just vampires, there are also werewolves, witches, etc.
There was also internal struggle among the vampires. It was too much of a stretch for them to protect a human being, so they might as well hand them over to the church. But the vampires obviously didn't want to let go so easily, so they made a blood pact.
If the blood contract succeeded in turning Nicholas into a blood servant, their church would have to protect him. If it failed, they would have a chance to snatch him away later.
As a result, Solomon and Casso were drawn into the struggle between the church and vampires.
Even if they are both high-level players, they can't hold on.
The knights and vampires of this era were not just for show. Once they started fighting, they would definitely use the prop cards, and then other players would come rushing over after smelling the scent.
Just thinking about it, you know it's going to be a big melee.
"That's even more troublesome." Solomon also thought about the chaos that might be caused in the future and felt a headache. "At this point, should we make some arrangements?"
Now they are in the same boat, and it is not so easy to separate them again.
Casso looked at Solomon quietly twice and nodded reluctantly.
Indeed, if they are still on guard against each other, then when the fight breaks out, instead of cooperating, they may even hold each other back.
Only by knowing the opponent's strength and what effect it can have can you gain an advantage in the next struggle.
"Let me talk first." Since Solomon was the one who took the initiative to seek cooperation, he naturally had no intention of hiding anything. "I have the physique of an emissary, but the one I contracted is not a magical beast, but a magical plant. I just need to plant the seeds somewhere in advance, and I can make them grow into my own in an instant."
Although it doesn't sound special, only those who have actually fought in battle will know how practical Solomon's ability is.
How long does it take to plant a seed? It only takes a blink of an eye.
The growth space for the contracted monsters is unlimited. As long as the player does not die and keeps passing dungeons, the contracted monsters can continue to grow and become the most reliable and loyal partner. However, the contracted magic plants do not require too much effort to raise in the early stage. It depends on how many magic plant seeds you get and how strong they are.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but as the largest group of players, the envoys are the best at developing their abilities among all players with special physiques. While special players like Ning Buyun are still worrying about how to use their abilities, envoy players can already learn from the experience of their predecessors and develop directly towards the path that suits them best.
"I'm done, it's your turn." After Solomon finished speaking, he looked at his partner.
Although he didn't know who the player on the other side was, as the pillar of the young generation supported by the Noah Legion, Solomon had contact with a lot of intelligence departments. As long as he knew the other party's ability, he would be able to narrow down the scope of suspicion, and finally lock on the right person and find out the other party's true face.
During the days of working with Casso, Solomon has clearly realized that the other party's wisdom is not inferior to his own, and he seems to be very adept at handling some matters. He is definitely not an unknown person.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't match the person in front of me with what I knew.
At least there is no such person in Noah's Legion.
"My ability should belong to a special type of mimicry NPC." Cass thought about it and told him about his ability.
After all, his abilities had hardly been exposed before.
"Mimic NPC?" Solomon repeated, "I have never heard of this ability."
"To put it simply, it's imitation." Ka Suo said frankly, "I can select an NPC in the dungeon. After I use my ability on him, I can temporarily possess all the abilities of this NPC in the dungeon. Once I leave the dungeon, they will disappear."
Solomon tried not to look so surprised.
Isn't this ability a bit too abnormal
That's against the rules.
There are almost no weak NPCs in the game.
"If you choose the strongest NPC, wouldn't you be able to crush them all?" Solomon blurted out.
Pandora's treatment of him was a bit too good.
"It's not that good." Casso shook his head slightly, "You just need to know this for now."
Solomon thought about it and became much calmer.
This was the first time he heard about this ability and he was a little too surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no ability in the world without side effects.
The ability to mimic NPCs is very good, but Solomon did not ignore the "all" that Casso said.
The human body and the NPC body are different.
If you rashly choose an NPC as your target without knowing how valuable their abilities are, you may end up hurting yourself if you are unlucky.
What if this NPC is strong on the outside but weak on the inside
What if this NPC is too powerful and his body can't bear it and collapses
Just thinking about it, you can tell that there are too many possible variables involved.
"I understand." Solomon nodded. "Then I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation next."
Isaac's room.
"Bishop, are you all right?"
"You look a little unhappy. Did you fail?"
…
The knight guarding outside the door waited for a long time before Isaac came out of the room. Seeing Isaac's pale face, they couldn't help but step forward to greet him.
"Nothing, Nicholas's blood contract has been lifted. All you need to do next is take a good rest." Isaac shook his hand slightly, "I'm just a little tired."
"Bishop, please take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry." Isaac lowered his eyes, indicating that he understood. "Write a letter in my name and go back to ask the cardinal if he can collect some documents about this place for me?"
"Yes." A knight responded immediately.
"Lord Isaac, do you think there is something strange?" The Knight Commander obviously thought more.
"I'm just a little worried." Isaac nodded slightly, "I always feel that something is wrong. Why is the demon's inheritance land related to a demon hunter? I will never feel at ease until I figure this out."
Ning Buwen in the room slowly opened his eyes.
He could withstand the blood contract of that vampire marquis, let alone the blood contract of a low-level vampire
He was just taking the opportunity to observe Bishop Isaac.
It was obvious that Bishop Isaac was still a little suspicious.
However, this was also within Ning Buwen's expectations. After all, they were figures who had climbed to the position of bishop of the Holy See. If they believed everything the vampires said, they would have been killed by the vampires long ago. How could they drive these non-humans directly into the deep mountains and forests
There is no need to talk about their religious beliefs, but the fact that they can maintain such a large church and manage so many believers is enough to be admired.
It doesn't matter. Ning Buwen is not going to deceive them for the rest of their lives. He is just deceiving them temporarily so that they can take him to find the inheritance site without being distracted by trivial matters.
Alas, he is also helpless.
This copy was directly related to his ranking on the global Pandora list. If this ranking was too low, it would be extremely embarrassing.
The most important thing is that this copy is directly related to whether Shin-chan will be killed by his child with one claw.
It’s a matter of life and death.
Therefore, he must get the hidden reward in this copy, the so-called inheritance of the devil!
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, I really risked my life for you. I didn't fight this hard when I was playing a dungeon by myself." Ning Buwen touched Xiao Xin's head, feeling a little depressed. "I hope that when I take you back, you can still catch up with your wife's delivery."
ss copy.
Cheng Yuxue agreed to face a lot of trouble when the foreign aid from the Second Legion came to this copy to rescue people, and he was ready to face a lot of trouble.
But when I actually entered this copy and saw the tragic situation inside, I couldn't help but be shocked.
This is no ordinary big fuss.
For players like Ning Buwen, a year of quest time is already very long. However, in some dungeons where the flow of time is particularly slow, it is not uncommon to spend a hundred years to complete a quest.
For example, the copy where Cheng Yuxue is now.
The clearance time is three hundred years.
Now it is exactly the 299th year.
Players who have entered this dungeon have become deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves, and are almost about to forget their identities as players.
But it is impossible for people outside to just leave it alone.
This copy is also a composite copy.
When Si Nan was still in the Weird Light Team, he once led his teammates to do a side quest of this dungeon. He had a brief encounter with the players who were doing the main quest of this dungeon and left behind a means of communication.
One month in reality is almost like several years in the dungeon.
At the beginning, Si Nan would receive messages from the other party every one or two days, but now he has not received any news for nearly a year.
If converted into the time in the copy, it is almost a hundred years.
If Si Nan was not sure that the other party was not dead, he would not have spoken to Cheng Yuxue.
"The players who remain in this instance are from a doomsday world that happened several reincarnations ago." Sinan said to Cheng Yuxue, "I once heard him say that the world they are in has gathered the fragments of a derivative instance and entered the ultimate instance. We are still here, which means they failed to conquer the ultimate instance, but we still don't know the specific information."
But being able to rescue this player is another matter.
If they could learn from the failures of their predecessors, they might be able to put an end to this large-scale game of life and death in this generation!
"We have sent many people in before, but they all failed. All those who entered managed to escape by giving up their status as players using the Exit Card. They are all high-level players. Losing one person would be a huge loss for our legion. We are all considering whether to give up."
But now if Cheng Yuxue is willing to come as a foreign aid, it’s another matter.
Although Cheng Yuxue did not say it explicitly, they all knew that Cheng Yuxue was definitely not a player in this round.
However, there was a problem with Cheng Yuxue's memory, and they could not force Cheng Yuxue to say things he didn't want to say.
Therefore, they can only focus on others.
Finally, a senior player who had some knowledge of the ultimate copy appeared, so Sinan and others were naturally unwilling to give up.
It just so happens that Cheng Yuxue has not experienced this SS-level copy in this round, so he is the best candidate.
Cheng Yuxue thought about it and agreed.
He did have some interest.
Even though he has experienced most of the copies in Pandora, there are still some copies that Cheng Yuxue has not experienced.
This is a copy too.
A fresh copy is also an excellent challenge for Cheng Yuxue.
Cheng Yuxue also wore a ring of time on his finger.
If we fight quickly, we might be able to catch up and see Ning Buwen's performance in the dungeon. The feeling of going through the dungeon by yourself and watching Ning Buwen's live broadcast is completely different.
Come to think of it, even if I don’t ask, we will soon reach the place of inheritance.
Cheng Yuxue couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
—————————
"What do you know about this land?"
"That vampire said that you were the one who opened the inheritance land. Do you have anything to say?"
"When you were in the vampire castle before, did you hear what the vampires were saying?"
…
Questions came one after another, and I wished I could get all the answers from Ning Buwen.
Ning Buwen knew very well that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, while the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make, and if you say nothing, you will do nothing wrong. He shook his head throughout, fully demonstrating his innocence.
"Mr. Knight, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
"I'm just a small demon hunter, making a living in the city."
"Why did those vampires capture me? Of course they wanted to take revenge on me and suck my blood."
"They refused to listen to me, saying that I was a treacherous human being and that my words could not be trusted. They would only believe me if I became a blood servant, so they came to bite me. That's why I couldn't answer your questions."
Ning Bu Wen pushed all the blame onto the vampires without any psychological pressure.
Vampires are not human beings and have no right to reputation.
Anyway, Ning Bu Wen has made up his mind to be a pure and innocent white lotus.
The more Ning denied and didn't answer anything, the more people were certain that he was the one who opened the place of inheritance.
If the other party really knew some news, how could he not reveal anything
It is very likely that the other party himself does not know what is special about him, but you can check his background to see if you can find any clues.
"Can your ability be used on this Nicholas?" Seeing that Nicholas could not utter a word, Solomon could not help but place his hope on Casso.
What if some special ability of this NPC was also copied by Casso
By then, even if something really happens to this NPC, they might be able to open the place of inheritance.
"No." Casso directly rejected Solomon's words, "My ability can only be used once in the copy, otherwise it will backfire. I will not use my ability before I find the inheritance place."
What if there are powerful NPCs guarding the inheritance land
No one would use the trump card right at the beginning, it must be saved for the end.
Solomon was just asking casually, knowing that the possibility was actually very small.
The most critical task for the two of them at the moment is to protect Nicholas.
It’s just that Solomon and Cass were so dedicated to their duties that even Ning Buwen felt a little suffocated.
These two guys have to follow me when I go to the toilet!
Although I can understand the mentality of not letting go of key NPCs, we should at least give him some free space.
Ning Buwen actually wanted to have a good contact with the vampires.
The current stalemate is not what he wants.
Isaac's side was on high alert, so Ning Buwen stopped sending any messages to the outside world and chose to wait and see what happened.
late at night.
That annoying voice appeared in Ning Buwen's mind again.
Ning Buwen encountered a double blood contract. Isaac only solved the one with the low-level vampire, but the one left by the vampire marquis was not solved.
Although it is impossible to make Ning Buwen obey the vampire, it is still possible to chat with him in his sleep.
"This ability is really great." Ning Buwen couldn't help but begin to admire it. He would have a good chat with Duoduo about it after they get out. If his ability could be developed to this level, he would feel more at ease when passing dungeons in the future.
"You are enjoying yourself." The Vampire Marquis sneered, "I heard from my tribesmen that you are now guarded by knights whenever you go out. Even the bishop's treatment is now ranked behind yours."
"No, it's all thanks to Mr. Marquis for his good acting." Ning Bu Wen was a mentally strong man and accepted the other party's sarcasm as a compliment.
"What do you want to do next?" The vampire marquis cursed humans for their treachery, while at the same time being curious about Ning Buwen's next move.
It’s a fake after all.
If the stalemate continues like this, I wonder how long it will take for the land of inheritance to be opened.
"What are the conditions to open that place of inheritance?" Ning Bu Wen asked.
"No conditions are required. It will open automatically when the time comes."
"No, this is the inheritance of the devil. What the devil likes most is chaos and struggle. Therefore, we must first satisfy these two things." Ning Buwen denied the words of the vampire marquis, "Free is the most expensive. There are no requirements at all. This doesn't seem like the inheritance of the devil at all."
"That's what you humans think." The vampire sneered, "We don't care about you so much."
"But everyone will believe it anyway." Ning Buwen laughed secretly, as if he had gotten some great advantage. "You can spread the word now."
"What's that rumor?"
"Of course, it's the news that I am the key to the inheritance land." Ning Buwen looked at him with some disappointment, "Lure the non-humans and demon hunters nearby, and let them all come to rob me. Then, spread the news that the devil's inheritance requires chaos, struggle, and blood."
In this way, I can eliminate all those players!
Ning Buwen has never been a soft-hearted person. It is basically impossible to expect everyone to work together in the advanced personal book, and he is not so saintly.
These variables will continue to exist as long as they do not appear.
But if you can come up with a fuse and detonate them in advance, you can control the situation within your control.
This is what Ning Buwen learned from Cheng Yuxue.
Just like what Cheng Yuxue did in the Heinous Crimes dungeon, let these players and NPCs kill each other and he can guide the development of the situation behind the scenes.
When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.
The author has something to say: Ning Buwen started to walk along the path that Cheng Yuxue had walked before 233333 Thank you to the little angels who cast the tyrant votes or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
