The one-year personal copy, after just one month, only one third of the players were left. They didn't even know which way the door to the inheritance land opened.
The remaining one-third of the players thought that they were on the verge of clearing the level. After all, the elimination rate of players was abnormally high, and it could only be that they were on the verge of clearing the level, which was why it was so difficult.
But what they don't know is that it's all just a huge scam.
The real copy hasn't even started yet.
Why does it take another half a year to open the land of inheritance
Solomon and Casso apparently knew nothing about this.
They are still worried about how to deal with Ning Buwen's question.
Should we bring in new players to work together, or kill the gods when we meet them and the Buddhas when we meet them
Ning Buwen didn't mind that the two of them treated him like a commodity and waited for a price. They were all deceived by him anyway, so it didn't matter what the other party was thinking.
In the end, Casso's stubborn attitude prevailed.
He only had one opinion, that was, as long as Solomon dared to bring other players over, he would take action.
What else can you do when you meet such a bad teammate
Solomon has begun to doubt his own judgment. Why did he choose such a fool-brained person when there were so many people he could cooperate with
At the other end, at the vampire castle.
"Mr. Marquis, 38 of our people have died and 61 have been seriously injured..."
A vampire felt his heart bleed as he reported below.
There aren't actually that many vampires.
On the one hand, it is because the vampires are arrogant and unwilling to give the First Embrace to anyone casually. On the other hand, it is also because the First Embrace requires a very high physical condition of the human being. Moreover, newly born vampires often cannot distinguish the boundary between humans and vampires, and the probability of premature death is also very high. In addition, there are more than a dozen factions within the vampires. When facing the same kind of people from different factions, they are ruthless and merciless. Therefore, the number of vampires is difficult to increase, and the number of high-level vampires is even smaller.
These marquis and earl vampires either disappeared without a trace or turned into old monsters over a long period of time. How could they develop their own tribes? Even if there were more low-level vampires, it would be useless.
After much difficulty, a Marquis returned from their vampire group, and naturally they were welcomed by all the vampires. Even if the Marquis asked them to compete with the church for a demon hunter, they all went, but in the end there were so many casualties, and the demon hunter they were fighting for ran away. How could they tolerate this
The Marquis also looked unhappy.
Although he didn't care about the life and death of these low-level vampires, he still felt very bad when he thought that all his current actions were checked by a small human.
"If we continue like this, we will only suffer more casualties. Lord Marquis, is that demon hunter really worth so much of our sacrifice?"
"Shut up." The Marquis shouted, "Get out."
"Your Excellency the Marquis."
"roll!"
The vampires suppressed their unwilling expressions and retreated angrily.
"Damn human!" The Marquis slammed the wall beside him hard, and the entire vampire castle seemed to be shaking.
The vampires outside felt the anger and dared not say anything.
well.
Otherwise, they should go and seek refuge with other vampire marquis.
Soon, an uninvited guest arrived in the vampire castle.
"So vampires can get angry too?"
"Who?"
The Marquis sensed a strange aura emerging in the room, and immediately looked towards that aura with a fiery gaze.
The man was wearing a pitch-black cloak that covered his face completely.
But the Marquis did not dare to underestimate him.
The defense of his vampire castle is much stronger than the previous one that was breached. The fact that the intruder was able to come in quietly proves that the other party's strength is definitely not inferior to his.
A witch or a werewolf? Or something else
"It seems that the Marquis is not worried about the land of inheritance." The cloaked man's voice was very low, and it sounded strange and awkward, as if he himself was not used to speaking like this.
"What does this have to do with you?" the Marquis replied coldly, "I don't welcome guests who hide their heads and show their tails here."
"Don't worry, Marquis. I'm here to help you." The cloaked man replied.
"No need." The Marquis refused without hesitation. He was being tricked by someone who came up to him out of nowhere and offered to help him.
The vampire, having been deeply deceived once, learned his lesson this time.
"Don't worry, Marquis." The cloaked man probably realized that the other party would not believe him. Even though he was annoyed that this NPC who had not opened his own wisdom was difficult to deal with, he had to speak in a nice tone, "I just want to get everything back on track."
"Haha." The Vampire Marquis was blunt.
"Well, it seems we have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures." The cloaked man sighed and stretched out a hand. On the back of his hand was engraved Pandora's pattern, glowing faintly.
The vampire marquis seemed to be dazzled by the light, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
A while passed.
The vampire marquis's eyes gradually became clear.
Similarly, his strength and momentum had also undergone drastic changes.
If it weren't for the same face, one would almost think it was a different person.
"Ahem." The cloaked man withdrew his hand, and Pandora's pattern returned to dimness.
There are only three ways to enable NPCs to open up their own wisdom.
The first is that NPCs gradually develop their own wisdom and self-thinking in countless reincarnations. They will understand what a player is and what a dungeon is. Although they still have to accept Pandora's plot settings and follow the established storyline, they have the ability to change the direction of the dungeon to a certain extent.
Pandora doesn't care about such minor incidents. Even NPCs can propose to exchange copies. As long as the copies still exist and are at the same difficulty, slight changes are within the acceptable range.
It is also common for some NPCs to take the opportunity to leave Pandora and visit the real world, or for players to take the initiative to become NPCs.
The second type comes from players taking the initiative to become NPCs.
This type of players either have a fortuitous encounter, or have a special physique, or have performed so well that they are invited by Pandora, allowing them to leave their real human bodies and live in Pandora's world.
The world of a dungeon is very large. As long as you complete the plot line, you can live in this dungeon for a long time. The NPCs that players actively become often have extremely high personal qualities. They are also the smallest but most powerful group among many NPCs. Legend has it that the top NPCs can live in the last seven dungeons of Pandora.
The third way is for the NPC who has opened up his own wisdom to use his own power to awaken the NPC who is still immersed in the story setting. As long as a certain amount of power is consumed, the NPC can recall the reincarnation of the story again and again, and then break the confusion and have self-awareness.
Now, this is the case with the cloaked man and the vampire marquis.
"Mr. Marquis, how do you feel about your new life?" The man in the cloak knew that there would be no problem now.
The Vampire Marquis opened his eyes again, and looked at the other person with a little more trust, but his face also became a little more obscure.
Anyone who suddenly remembers that he has been through countless dungeons, met countless players, and foolishly repeated the same life again and again, and then suddenly remembers everything, his face will not be good.
"Very good," replied the Marquis, "I now know how foolish I was."
I was actually fooled by a player like this
What a joke!
"The player you met is not an ordinary person." The cloaked man smiled, "His brain is what many NPCs want to get their hands on."
"You want to take it too?" The Marquis looked at the cloaked man with some curiosity.
"I once had a chance to get it, but I failed." The cloaked man said lightly, "Originally there were companions in your world who had awakened their own wisdom, but they were killed by another player a long time ago and were scared, so they applied to leave here. Because there are no other companions with awakened wisdom, you will immerse yourself in it again and again."
If Ning Buwen was here and saw this cloaked man, it would probably take him a while to remember who he was.
Question and Answer Playground
The last time, the cloaked man who bet with him was the one in front of him.
In the dungeon world, being noticed by an NPC with his own intelligence is not a good thing.
But Ning Buwen obviously didn't know this yet.
"Why are you here?" After gaining self-awareness, the Vampire Marquis also understood a lot without any instruction. In his memory, many players had said similar things in front of him, but Pandora's power made him accustomed to everything. Now that he remembered everything, he realized that there were countless truths in front of him, but he was like a blind man who could not see it.
"There's something wrong with your world," the cloaked man replied. "We've always paid attention to high-level individual dungeons. Your dungeon is supposed to have an elimination mechanism in half a year, but now the survival rate of players is far below normal. I was curious, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect to meet an old friend here."
Even an NPC cannot easily find the location of a fixed player.
Therefore, even if the NPCs bear a grudge against them, players are often not worried. After all, with so many copies, the possibility of them meeting again is almost zero.
In order to move towards the top seven worlds of Pandora, the cloaked man constantly wanders through various copies.
He wants to gain higher wisdom and go to a more powerful copy world.
Therefore, he needs to improve his stuff.
In Pandora, there are many things to upgrade NPCs.
It could be a powerful item, it could be a wild flower on the roadside, it could be an ability you gain after repeatedly practicing in a dungeon a thousand times, or it could be something from a certain player.
The most common one is the player’s brain.
The brain that NPC wants is not the real brain, but the infinite possibilities contained in the brain.
Once you get it, your strength will be greatly improved.
The man in the cloak subconsciously knew this when he saw Ning Buwen.
It was just that when he first met him, he was still weak and limited to a small B-level copy. After leaving the quiz playground, he did not waste any time, using the speed of time in Pandora to constantly hone himself, and specifically lingered in those copy worlds with abnormal conditions, constantly collecting the brains of players.
Finally, he improved his strength to the point where he could move freely in high-level dungeons.
But that’s not enough.
Even if he can come and go freely, he still has to accept the settings of the copy world and follow the original route of the plot.
For example, in this dungeon world, the NPC Vampire Marquis in the original novel can re-plan his actions after gaining his own wisdom, but he cannot.
In this dungeon world, there are two most important NPCs.
One is the Vampire Marquis and the other is Bishop Isaac.
If Ning Buwen hadn't made such a bold move, the normal process of clearing the dungeon would have been for players to approach Bishop Isaac in an effort to become a demon hunter, then dig out the vampire marquis under Isaac's guidance, capture the marquis before the land of inheritance opens, force clues about the land of inheritance out of him, and then enter the land of inheritance to obtain items related to demons to pass the level.
The cloaked man went to see Bishop Isaac and found that he was on the verge of awakening his own wisdom. He knew that he could not interfere rashly, otherwise, even if he forcibly helped to awaken the other party's wisdom, it would only make the other party distrust him.
The possibilities of self-intellectual breakthrough and external forced breakthrough are completely different.
Of course, it is simply pie in the sky for a vampire marquis who has no signs of awakening his own intelligence to be forced to awaken his intelligence.
"You want that Nicholas?"
"Nicholas is just his name in this world." The cloaked man laughed, "His name is Ning Buyen."
“Never heard of it.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't know now." Since the cloaked man had spent so much energy to open the other party's wisdom, he didn't think of returning empty-handed. "I want his brain, and I need your help."
Even though he had been through so many dungeons and met so many different kinds of players, among the players the Cloaked Man met after he unlocked his own wisdom, the one he was most optimistic about and wanted the most was Ning Buwen's brain.
Only the memories of the disastrous defeat that Ning Buwen had brought him back in the past made it difficult for him to let go.
"How can I help you?"
"I can't interfere with the progress of your copy." Seeing that the vampire marquis knew how to help, the cloaked man's tone became cheerful, "As long as you can make him fail miserably in this copy, I will have a chance to get his brain!"
"What should I do?" The Vampire Marquis still trusted the cloaked man very much. At least he had to repay the favor first, and he also hated the player named Ning Buwen.
"First of all, you have to break the blood contract with him. You can't beat him. He's very sensitive. If he finds something wrong with you, he will turn against you." The cloaked man suggested, "When facing a player like Ning Buyen, we can only play fast and steady and try to make him fail completely with one blow!"
"hiss-"
Ning Bu Wen suddenly covered his head.
Originally, he still had a subtle connection with the vampire marquis. He could use this immature blood contract to communicate with him in his sleep and make him do things according to his own ideas.
But now, the blood contract has been completely broken.
Could it be that the Marquis is dead
No, it's not possible.
He knew how strong the opponent was. It was impossible for the players in the copy to kill him, and it was impossible for him not to have received any news.
I haven't got the clue to the inheritance land yet, so the other party can't be dead.
Then the only possibility is that something happened to the other party and he took the initiative to cut off contact with me.
What happened
Ning Buwen was a little unsure for a moment.
The contact was cut off without any warning, which seemed to be a bad omen no matter how you looked at it.
"Xiao Xin, get up, we are getting ready to leave here." Ning Bu Wen made a prompt decision and prepared to go back directly to find Bishop Isaac.
If the Vampire Marquis cannot be trusted, he can only go to Isaac. At least Isaac knows a little about the news of the inheritance land, and the other party is also very powerful, which can make him feel more at ease.
That doesn't work here.
The vampire marquis knew his whereabouts very well. If he had any bad intentions and sent a bunch of vampires over, he would be doomed.
"Nicholas, where are you going?" Solomon and Cass were arguing, but when they saw Ning Buwen and Xiao Xin seemed to be preparing to leave, they had no time to care about the argument.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going back to find Bishop Isaac now." Ning Buwen replied righteously, "You two can't protect me at all. I've decided to rely on myself."
"What are you crazy about?" Solomon was really overwhelmed. Casso, the uncooperative partner, had already given him a headache, and now Nicholas, who had been very cooperative, started to make trouble again.
This would make Solomon deeply doubt whether he was stupid to seek cooperation in the first place.
"I have a bad feeling." Ning Buwen said solemnly, "If I stay here any longer, I will die."
"you… "
"Okay." Casso pulled Solomon back, "Let's go back then."
"Huh?" Solomon was confused.
"He's acting so abnormally, maybe that's the clue to passing the level." Casso whispered.
Oh, yes, that's the truth.
Solomon was also confused by anger just now. "Okay, let's go back immediately. I think the bishop has already solved the problem."
Since all three of them agreed, we can return without any worries.
Ning Buwen's premonition soon came true.
The vampire marquis severed his blood contract with him, which meant that he severed his cooperation with them.
Although the reason is unknown, this vampire marquis is obviously unwilling to cooperate with Ning Buwen anymore, and instead intends to break up with him and kill him.
strangeness.
I didn't do anything to him.
Ning Buwen was completely confused. He didn't understand what was wrong with this vampire and what had happened to him that made him behave so abnormally.
Now, all his plans were disrupted.
Before the three of them walked out of the forest, they were besieged by a group of werewolves.
Yes, the Vampire Marquis passed Ning Buwen's message directly to the werewolves nearby.
In a place like the forest, there is no race more advantageous than werewolves.
And because the forest was dense, Solomon's ability was also limited. He had to make enough space for his magic plants to grow. Otherwise, his ability would be limited by more than half, and he would not be able to show off his power like before on the plains.
Solomon can only drive the seeds of the magic plants that have been contracted. These ordinary trees are beyond his current capabilities.
"You are the one who opened the inheritance land." The leading werewolf stared at Ning Buwen with a pair of heterochromatic pupils, "Okay, very good. If I kill you, no one will get the inheritance, and those vampires will not be able to improve their bloodline!"
Unlike vampires, werewolves do not have high requirements for bloodline level. Their reproductive ability is much stronger than that of vampires, and they do not have such great expectations for the inheritance of demons.
Rather than letting this inheritance fall into the hands of someone unknown, it is better to directly kill the person who opened the place of inheritance. This way, no one can get it, and they, the werewolves, still have the advantage in numbers!
"Go." The leading werewolf waved his hand, and the other werewolves surrounded the three of them.
"These are all high-level purebred werewolves, and that one is the wolf king." Solomon's face looked very ugly when he saw their claws and teeth.
Just as Ning Buwen can learn everything about vampires through Wen Duoduo, Solomon can also learn everything about werewolves from Rita.
There are also Wolf Kings among werewolves. Although they are not the only ones in number, their strength is equal to that of a vampire marquis.
Even if he and Casso joined forces, they couldn't beat the werewolves, not to mention that they were surrounded now? Of course, even if they were surrounded, it would be no problem for them to protect themselves temporarily. But if the other party's purpose was to kill Nicholas, then it would be troublesome.
If they have weaknesses, they will be restricted.
If they really kill Nicholas, their mission will be deemed a failure.
Can't!
"Caso, are you still hiding it?" Solomon gritted his teeth and looked at Caso beside him, "You can copy the ability of the high-level werewolf leader. We have limited prop cards and cannot waste them casually. If you have the fighting power of the wolf king leader, we can still fight."
The opponent is no simple creature.
The werewolves didn't give them much time to react. They howled and pounced directly at them.
Solomon activated the seeds that he had planted before and did not attack, but chose to defend.
One after another, the magic plants wrapped them tightly, and the werewolves used their huge claws to tear the roots and stems of these plants to pieces. For a while, the ground was covered with the corpses of various plants.
Casso looked at the situation outside, at the plants in front of them that were constantly growing and then withering due to the attacks, and he felt a little puzzled.
His ability can only be used once.
All selections are required.
There is a wolf king outside. Even if he copied his ability, he could only tie with him at best, and he might even lose. Because his ability was copied, he was not familiar with how to use it, while the wolf king was experienced and much more experienced than him. Not to mention that there were so many werewolves here. Copying the wolf king would only delay time a little, and would not have much effect at all. Nicholas would still die.
"What are you waiting for?!" Solomon shouted angrily.
"No." Another idea popped up in Casso's mind. "Instead of copying the Wolf King, why not copy Nicholas? After I copy his abilities, we'll leave here!"
When Solomon heard this, he thought it was a good idea.
In this case, this is the best approach.
"Then go quickly!"
Cass immediately put his hand on Ning Buwen's shoulder.
"Woof."
Xiao Xin rushed forward and bit his leg.
Casso didn't move.
Then, his face was suddenly replaced by confusion.
What…what happened
He can't copy it?!
impossible!
Cass looked at Ning Buwen in surprise, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He realized the absurd possibility that they had all been deceived.
Otherwise there is no way to explain why he couldn't use his ability, his ability has never failed.
If it's not a problem with his ability, then there must be a problem with the object of his ability.
The other party is not an NPC!
"Xiao Xin, let go." Ning Bu Wen lowered his head and said to Xiao Xin, and Xiao Xin obediently let go.
"Although it is not my intention to expose my identity at this time, I have no choice as things have taken a turn for the worse." Ning Bu Wen removed Cass's hand from his shoulder, and another wonderful idea emerged in his mind.
Ning Bu Wen stretched out his hand, with his usual innocent look on his face, and sold out his teammate without any hesitation.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Wen Duoduo, an emissary player of the Pangu Corps' Second Corps, the Glimmer Squad."
