For the vast majority of players who have not yet grasped the true meaning of this dungeon, the news about inheritance released by the vampire is undoubtedly a lifesaver.
Of course, these high-level players were not unaware that the vampire had no good intentions in releasing the news, but they had to jump even though they knew it was a trap.
After all, their understanding of this dungeon is still at the beginning, and most players are just trying to become demon hunters. And the demon hunters are still thinking about how to smoothly approach Bishop Isaac, and their progress is not a little slower than Ning Buwen. Now, the vampires have released the news, which is actually more beneficial to them.
Think about it, if this news gets out, all non-human races will try to snatch the person who opens the inheritance from the church, so will Bishop Isaac start recruiting people? Will he choose from these demon hunters or demon hunter reserves? In this way, won't they be able to get closer to the key NPC of this dungeon? Therefore, the players are eager to make a move.
Although Solomon and Casso had already prepared themselves mentally, they were still very annoyed when all the players learned the news overnight and were standing on the same starting line with them.
Damn vampires!
The situation was taking a turn for the worse, so they had to speed up.
Just as Ning Buwen had expected, after the vampire released the news about him, the Baron's castle was surrounded by various non-humans, demon hunters and players.
If Bishop Isaac had some doubts about Ning Buwen's identity before, now there are so many things going on that he doesn't even have time to doubt.
With so many people gathered here, it's impossible for there to be no trouble.
Not to mention, there are quite a few local residents here.
Those non-humans do not have as many senses of right and wrong as humans. If they make trouble, they will not care about the consequences at all.
Isaac was a compassionate bishop, and naturally did not want to see the local residents become food for the demons. So he drew some more men from his limited staff and asked them and Casso's men to evacuate the residents near the castle.
These residents are not allowed to come here for a short period of time.
After all, Casso is a baron, and Isaac is a bishop of the Vatican. With these two measures in place, and with the non-humans constantly causing incidents of "mysterious disappearances", the residents dared not say much and just moved away obediently. After all, they were all afraid of death.
The knights in the castle, including Solomon and Casso, had to take turns to go out to maintain law and order. For safety reasons, Ning Buwen temporarily shared a room with Bishop Isaac. As long as Isaac was fine, Ning Buwen's safety did not need to be worried.
Even if Solomon and Casso wanted to follow Ning Buwen closely, they had no way to disobey Isaac's orders, so they had to vent their anger on the guys who came after hearing the news.
War is about to break out.
The players who come to this dungeon are not the kind of people who are foolish enough to go forward and die.
They also think and plot.
Instead of going to rob people without knowing anything, it is better to hide behind these non-human races, provoke them to test the strength of the church, and then go to help when they are almost done fighting. In this way, the identity of the demon hunter is obtained, and the information is almost complete.
Therefore, the first batch of enemies faced by Solomon, Casso and others were actually basically NPCs, and they were quite powerful ones.
Originally, they wanted to use the power of the knights to repel these non-humans, but they were outnumbered, so how could they expect others to save them
Outside the castle, it has become a battlefield.
"defense".
When a werewolf pounced on him, Solomon couldn't help but played a prop card.
He had also come into contact with players with werewolf physiques and knew how powerful werewolves were.
The NPC werewolf in front of him could be a boss in other dungeons, but in this dungeon it is just an elite monster.
Even if Solomon wanted to continue pretending, there was no way.
Things aren't much better on Casso's side.
He also used the prop card when he was besieged by several vampires.
The performance of these two players took on a different meaning in the eyes of the players hiding behind the scenes.
"I didn't expect that two of my colleagues would directly squeeze into the knights' team? I'm afraid they have also seen Nicholas, who opened the inheritance land!"
"How long has this dungeon been open? These two people have already touched the core of the dungeon?"
"Luckily, fortunately the vampires released the news. Otherwise, wouldn't these two players be almost through the game while we are still foolishly following the plot?"
…
When the players saw that Solomon and Casso had already squeezed next to the key NPC, they felt jealous and relieved.
I am jealous of how fast they move, but fortunately, even though they are fast, aren’t I exposed to them now
Pandora is indeed fair!
When Solomon and Casso used the prop cards, they knew that they would be regarded as thorns in the eyes of other players.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, there is nothing they can do.
Solomon felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was caught in some vortex.
The mission time for this copy is clearly one year, but now only one month has passed and his identity has been exposed, and he has to face the siege of so many people
This difficulty is abnormal.
Advanced personal copies are not that difficult.
For some reason, when Solomon was fighting against these NPCs, he couldn't help but think of the day when he was tricked by Ning Buwen and his face was covered in blood.
Back then in the Heinous Crimes copy, he seemed to be fighting one against a hundred people, and his current situation inexplicably overlapped with the previous one.
"What are you daydreaming about?" The Knight Commander cut off a vampire's hand with his sword and shouted to Solomon, "Look at where we are?!"
This is a life-and-death fight, and this newly promoted rookie knight dares to be dazed
Casso's feeling was not strong.
He had been forced to train by the Freedom Legion before, and did not have a clear understanding of the difficulty of the dungeon.
This is the gap in experience.
No, you have to use the prop cards sparingly.
Solomon gritted his teeth and secretly activated a magic plant to surround the castle inside and out.
In this way, although the people inside could not go out temporarily, the people outside could not come in for a while.
With Solomon's help, the knights repelled the first wave of attacks and had time to rest and be ready for the second wave. Solomon and Casso also began to plan how to retreat with Ning Buwen.
If this continues, they will definitely not be able to hold on.
The disparity in the number of personnel is too great!
Ning Buwen, the instigator, felt much more relaxed.
He held Xiaoxin in his arms and watched the whole show.
When Solomon and Casso used their prop cards, he looked calm and was not curious about their identities.
This was something that had been guessed a long time ago, there was nothing surprising about it.
However, when Solomon activated the magic plant, Ning Buwen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Should we say that enemies often meet on a narrow road
He had felt before that this knight named Jesse gave him a familiar feeling. Now that he saw this ability, he was 100% sure that it was undoubtedly his old acquaintance Solomon.
I don't know what his rating was in the Heinous Crimes copy. But Ning Buwen estimated that it would not be high. After all, he was caught as a criminal by himself, so how could he have a good rating
Ning Buwen had no intention of not cheating Solomon just because he was an acquaintance. Instead, he began to think about how to use Solomon.
He is in darkness, and Solomon is in the light.
This is really easy to do dirty work.
hey-hey.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but smile.
It feels so good to see that everything is developing as you expected.
"All those people down there are here because of you." Isaac suddenly walked up to Ning Buwen and said, "There are quite a few people like you in there."
Hey, this bishop seems to have something else to say.
Ning Buwen touched Xiao Xin's head and calmed down. His face immediately turned into a regretful and painful expression, "I don't want to either, but I don't know anything."
"You are very smart." Bishop Isaac gave Ning Buyen a meaningful look. "Although I don't know what your relationship with the inheritance is, based on the current situation, there is no way I will hand you over to those people outside."
"Thank you for your hard work, Bishop." Ning Buwen answered sincerely, "I wonder what the Bishop thinks about the next situation?"
"We are short of people." Isaac withdrew his gaze from Ning Buwen and looked outside again. "I have used the name of the church to gather demon hunters and people who want to become demon hunters nearby. As long as they can help us resist these evil demons, I can perform the ritual to become demon hunters for them. I think they will all come."
good.
Those players who failed to become demon hunters will come in batches in the future.
"The current chaos is only temporary. Although a group of people will be eliminated, the remaining ones will be elites." Isaac's eyes were shining. "Our church didn't get this inheritance a hundred years ago, and we won't give it to the vampires a hundred years later!"
Don't worry, none of you can get it because it's mine.
Ning Bu Wen hugged Xiao Xin tightly and said secretly in his heart.
The players started a small meeting among themselves.
Everyone came here to become a demon hunter, and some came here to improve their demon hunter level.
Who is a player and who is not a player is actually very obvious at this time.
Although it wasn't said explicitly, we can guess about 70% of it.
"I know what you're thinking." A player said indifferently, "If things hadn't developed to this point, we could have continued to disguise ourselves as NPCs. I can understand the players who don't want to reveal their identities. But you all saw that two players have already entered the castle and it looks like they've been there for a while. Now is not the time for us to just sit there and pretend to be NPCs!"
It's obviously abnormal that the progress bar of a one-year dungeon is moving so fast.
It can be seen that someone has obtained the core key to breaking through the level and greatly promoted the progress of the copy, so they are facing this situation.
The high-level personal dungeon should have been a dungeon where everyone could have a share of the spoils. However, there were some talented players who could clear the dungeon at an unusually fast speed. They could score 95 points out of a 100-point test, and only gave the remaining 5 points to other players, stealing all the limelight.
Once the copy is over, those who have not completed it will be forced to leave the copy.
At that time, how high could their evaluation be? I'm afraid it wouldn't even be a D!
"Only players with a small difference in strength will be assigned to the same copy. It's only been a month, how come someone is so fast?" another player couldn't help but say.
For the sake of game balance, Pandora will not put players with huge differences together.
An advanced personal copy is not a complex copy, so how could such a mistake occur
"Their strength is only slightly different from ours during this period of time. But they only need one instance of time to widen the gap between them and us."
"You'll get used to it. Geniuses like this will appear every once in a while. They are the core members of each legion. The rest of us are just trying to make a living."
"So, you mean we should hurry to that bishop?"
"good."
"You've seen those werewolves, vampires, witches and so on outside. They're not easy to fight. We have to face a bunch of bosses."
"If you can't win, just quit this dungeon." A player said coldly, "You only have one chance, so do whatever you want. Those who are already demon hunters are a little better, but those who haven't become demon hunters don't even expect the evaluation to be settled? Moreover, even for demon hunters, it is difficult to get close to this bishop. I checked and found that the baron player had captured a werewolf and offered it up."
"It seems that they have already fought against the vampires before. The vampires lost, so they were angry and released the news."
…
There are also people among them who are good at gathering intelligence.
It's a pity that these players who were gathering intelligence did not continue to investigate further after they got this information. Otherwise, Ning Buwen's lie would not have lasted so long.
“I have no choice but to go.”
"That's right. How can we let those two players have all the food?"
"It's just a matter of defeating the boss in advance, what's the big deal!"
…
Solomon and Casso, who were being eaten alone, were once again called into the room by Bishop Isaac.
"I called you two here because I hope you two can escort Nicholas away from here quietly." Isaac said, looking at them.
Solomon and Casso already had this premonition, and they were only slightly surprised when Isaac took the initiative to say it.
"What about you, Bishop?" Solomon is still a knight after all, so it is impossible for him to leave so easily.
"If I wasn't here, no one would believe that Nicholas would be here. I'm here to help you buy time," Isaac replied.
"Why us?" Casso couldn't help but ask. Compared to them, aren't the Knight Commander and others of the Knights more trustworthy
The difficulty of this copy was abnormally high, and it was impossible for Casso and Solomon to be so naive that they would happily agree to do something just because someone handed Nicholas to them.
"You two are new members, and there is no news about you outside. However, the information of the other members of the Knights has been thoroughly studied." Isaac looked at Cass with appreciation, "Besides, I also believe in your strength. It is not an easy task to run away with Nicholas. Once the news leaks out, you two may be in danger. I give this mission to you, and you can refuse it."
"Since it is your order, Bishop, I will guarantee Mr. Nicholas' safety even at the cost of my own life." Solomon performed a knight's salute.
Casso thought about it and agreed.
"Very good." Isaac nodded with satisfaction. "For safety reasons, you should take Nicholas and leave quietly tonight. I will contact you in time when you are safe."
Isaac wasn't worried about them running away.
Very few people know where the land of inheritance is, so they still have to come back.
"yes."
Solomon and Casso retreated calmly. They only needed to pack up briefly and then take Nicholas away.
"It seems that the bishop does not trust the demon hunters recruited later. The two of us still have the advantage." Solomon breathed a sigh of relief. This made him feel that his previous efforts were still rewarded.
"This is not an easy task." Ka Suo replied, "It's not that simple. Even if we can fool the NPCs, we can't fool the players by saying that we're leaving."
"It depends on the situation. If we can beat them, we can fight. If we can't, we can cooperate." Solomon was not as nervous as him. "With our abilities, we can still give it a try."
Solomon is very confident in himself, and also has a little confidence in Casso.
night.
"Mr. Nicholas, please leave with us." Solomon looked at Ning Buwen and said in a rather cold and hard tone.
"I'll go with you with my witchhound." Ning Buwen nodded and agreed.
"It will be easy to be discovered if we carry it with us." Casso was a little unhappy. Although this witcher has some skills, it is still a dog after all. If it makes a sound while escaping, all their efforts will be wasted.
"I won't leave unless it leaves." Ning Buwen looked at them in horror, "If it weren't for it, I would have been killed by the vampire a long time ago."
"Forget it, just take it with you." Solomon didn't want to dwell on such a small matter for too long. "We have to leave tonight, so don't waste any more time."
Casso had no choice but to agree.
As long as Nicholas cooperates, everything will be fine.
Pandora will automatically rationalize the player's props, so Solomon has nothing to worry about. Anyway, his identity as a player has been exposed, so what's wrong with using a flying prop
Solomon took out Aladdin's magic carpet and pulled Cass and Ning Buyen up.
Ning Buwen touched the magic carpet and became more and more certain that this person was Solomon.
It seems that the psychological trauma I left on him that time was quite severe, and he even made a flying prop that was exactly the same as mine.
"Sitting on this flying carpet, I felt as if I was back in that high-level personal copy." Solomon couldn't help but think of the past, and his face darkened, "It's a pity that I was too naive back then."
No, you're not much better now.
Ning Buwen touched Xiaoxin's head and looked at Solomon with a smile.
The second wave of inhuman attacks has arrived.
The Baron's castle was somewhat ramshackle.
"wrong."
"The two players are gone."
The players were much more sensitive than the NPCs, but when they discovered that Solomon and Casso were missing, they immediately realized that they had been lured away.
"I'm afraid they ran away with that key NPC."
"So what if they run away? They will always come back. The bishop is still here!"
The inheritance land is right here, they can escape even if the monks do. Besides, even if they defeat the two players and capture the key NPC, they may not be able to protect it.
They have already been waiting for a while, so it doesn't matter if they wait a little longer.
There are aggressive players, but there are also many players who seek stability.
At this point, the players were completely divided into two factions.
Those who have not yet become witchers only want to get the method of becoming a witcher from the bishop, while those who are already witchers want to chase Solomon and Casso.
There are quite a lot of players, and if they are divided into two factions, it will easily attract attention.
In addition, there is Ning Buwen, a guy who is in cahoots with the vampires. It can be said that wherever Ning Buwen escapes, there will be vampires following him.
All the players who followed Solomon and Casso were attacked by vampires without exception.
“Damn it!”
"Why is there another vampire ambush?"
"Come and help me!"
Solomon and Casso had used up almost all of their prop cards. In just a few days, Ning Buwen witnessed their transformation from relaxed and at ease to nervous and uneasy.
There is still no sign of the inheritance land, but they have been fighting for more than a week.
Even a strong man can't bear it.
In comparison, the attacks on Bishop Isaac's side, who had sent Ning Buwen away, were much less severe. In addition, reinforcements from the Holy See also arrived in time, and the crisis of the "siege" was quickly resolved.
really.
Isaac's guess became more and more certain.
The demon hunter named Nicholas is definitely not as harmless and innocent as he appears!
Since he showed up, everything has been messed up.
Solomon and his two companions found an abandoned cabin to live in.
Ning Buwen and his dog were naturally waiting for their meal, sitting there in a daze, and occasionally showing some "guilty" behavior.
Solomon and Casso were arguing on the side.
"We have used up a lot of our item cards now. If we can't get an A-level or above in this evaluation, we will be at a loss. So now we should let down our guard and get through this difficult time together!" Solomon advised earnestly.
"No." Casso refused firmly, "I think we should find other players to cooperate with. The two of us can't hold out for long."
"Heh, how many of the players who have stayed until now are good men and women? Open your eyes and look, how many players outside were ambushed by vampires and forced to leave? How many players gave up this mission and ran away?"
There are less than one third of the players left in this copy!
