As a "temporary event" without notice, there are not many players who can participate in time.
Compared with the dilapidated Frozen Water Port, players are indeed more inclined to live in Fort Rose. After all, this place is relatively developed, and the basic necessities of life are much more convenient... You can even do odd jobs to earn some money and update your equipment.
After all, even their lords have already lived in Roseburg, so they don't even have the duty of guards.
But players, after all, have to return to Frozen Water Port every three days.
Not for anything else... just for copying.
Fortunately, there are nearly thirty players in Roseburg—and the four strongest players happen to be in Roseburg right now.
Salvatore is the only one who still lives in Frozen Water Port.
His laboratory is just under the city lord's mansion... It will not be easy to move in a while, anyway, he is about to leave.
In fact, after he got the bone and blood trigger of Lord Skeleton, he could already return to the Black Tower of Zedi.
The reason why Salvatore didn't leave immediately was because he didn't want to leave this mess to Annan.
Salvatore felt that he owed Annan—and dragged Annan into a fight that had nothing to do with him. And this guilt became even deeper after learning of Annan's true identity...
... It's just that Annan doesn't think so. He never felt that Salvatore owed him anything, and even felt that he had used him so many times that he felt a little uneasy about his conscience.
But Salvatore was very determined.
He had already made up his mind that when Annan went to the capital, he would drop by and go back to the Black Tower of Zedi together, so he would have a companion on the way.
Of course, Annan felt that he might simply feel lonely on the road.
But even without the help of Salvatore.
When Annan was getting the equipment, he called another helper...
—Caffney Noah.
His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Albert, who had a big heart, stayed alone in Roseburg, and Cafney was now Annan's chief bodyguard.
She lived in the room next to Annan.
After advanced silver, the biggest difference is that the attributes of "perception" and "will" can be realized.
The extraordinary perception ability of the Dragon Monk allowed Kafni to detect every move in Annan's room through a wall. Whether there are thieves or assassins, she can directly "perceive" where they are as if she saw them with her own eyes.
But now, Kafni was brought to the side of the warehouse by Annan—she was sensing the traces of the curse in the warehouse from a distance with her eyes closed.
"I do feel..."
Cafney closed her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "There are remnants of the ritual there, very fresh... and there are many kinds."
"Can you detect the type of ritual?"
Annan asked.
Kafni shook her head: "The result will not be very accurate. The person inside must be an old hand. He used lead plates or lead powder to treat the walls... If I don't have advanced silver, even if I am a monk There is no trace of ritual."
"About the quantity."
Annan urged in a low voice: "If you are not sure whether there is a number, count it as it is; if the number can be more or less, count it as it is."
Hearing Annan's instruction, Kafni closed her eyes again and felt quietly.
“…I smell the smell of 'bones', 'dead', 'fear', 'betrayal', 'shadow', 'blood'. I'm not sure how many summons are in it, and I don't know which of these smells are ingredients , Which ones are influences, which ones are summoned objects... But to be on the safe side, be prepared to have up to seven extraordinary enemies."
Cafney said seriously: "If there are more than two silver-rank enemies among them... I may not be able to protect you well."
When she said this, she glanced back at the assembled players, and whispered in Annan's ear, "If the battle situation is unfavorable, can we let them end the rear? In that case, I am confident that I can help you delay for a while, Your Highness. "
… can be can.
Rather, Annan summoned the players here just in case he could make them stay behind.
From this point of view, Kafni and Annan thought of going together.
But in front of the players, Annan naturally couldn't admit cowardly so easily.
The character of "Annan" on the player's side is a future grand prince who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with a firm will, responsibility and wisdom-how can he give up before the battle
"it does not matter."
Annan patted Kafni's head lightly, feeling the warmth from the top of Kafni's head, and comforted her in a low voice: "I can use 'that' one more time—it won't be dangerous.
"If the battle situation is really unfavorable... I will use it."
-Yes.
Although Annan's current equipment is not as complete as that brought by the rotten man... But he at least brought the half-finished Philosopher's Stone with him.
In addition, Annan also brought elf leather gloves, "right arm of breaking barriers" and "white guillotine". And put the "blood-stained kitchen knife" in the carry-on bag.
The main reason for not taking out the kitchen knife directly is because the curse of the kitchen knife "Painting Breaker" may make Annan fall into a passive position—
[Painting Breaker: If the holder sees a portrait of a middle-aged woman while holding a "blood-stained kitchen knife", he must throw the kitchen knife within three seconds, otherwise the holder himself will be injured by the kitchen knife]
What they want to attack is a warehouse—and the owner of the warehouse is a ritual master.
Ritual needs are often some strange and not very common things. Annan dare not say that there are absolutely no "portraits of middle-aged women" in this warehouse.
And if he saw this painting when he entered the warehouse with a kitchen knife, it would be like being instantly disarmed by the enemy.
It's better to hide it and use it as a one-time throwing knife at a critical moment. Because this kitchen knife has a very powerful and useful spell "Active Throw":
[Active Throwing: When this item is thrown, it will automatically search for enemies within a small range, as if it had been given the same-named order school spell "Active Throwing"]
It didn't come in handy in the fight with the rot before, just because it was just a normal kitchen knife...it wouldn't do anything against the rot.
It flies over, that is to send.
Might be caught by a rotten man and thrown back...
After all, the curse object does not recognize the owner.
And being hit by the kitchen knife thrown by the rotten man may be a fatal injury to Annan...
But the current enemy is an extremely fragile human being.
Not even Transcendent.
Then, this kitchen knife makes sense.
Now Annan is holding a sledgehammer in his right hand and a guillotine in his left. He looked ferocious - if one ignores his size and features.
Even though Annan was sullen and made a look of "I'm super fierce now", the players just whispered to him and pointed secretly:
"—To be honest, it's kind of cute."
"—Girl is fierce, grandma is fierce."
"—Don't do that, Annan can crush your dog's head with a single hammer."
"—Even if he smashed me into dust with a single hammer, it won't stop me from thinking so! I'm doing this for love and truth!"
"—Okay, stop now, it's already very embarrassing..."
Looking at the extremely lively forum, Si Anke and Citalopram felt a sense of "what, I'm actually playing a game" after a long absence.
After the players were all gathered, Annan commanded in a deep voice: "I'm breaking the door, and then you go in first, and two people will make a preliminary contact with the enemy. After the contact is completed, Kafni and I will enter from the side of the battlefield one by one. .
"Remember, on the basis of ensuring your own safety, attack the summoned creatures first. There is no need to kill them completely, the main purpose is to hold them back. There is a trap on the front of the warehouse, and it can also force the enemy to move there——Caffney and I Will go directly to attack the ritual master.
"So, get ready—"
After Annan finished speaking, he raised the sledgehammer in his hand.
If this hammer is not considered a hammer head but only a stick, it happens to be an eyebrow-level stick. But if Hammerhead is counted, it will appear that Annan's height is relatively modest.
The next moment, Annan vigorously waved the "Right Arm of Breaking Barriers" in his hand.
When it attacks the "wall", it can get a ten-point temporary strength bonus.
And that means—
Annan smashed the hammer with all his strength, and the huge vibration made the ground tremble.
With the second hammer, the side walls of the warehouse were covered with cracks.
The moment the third hammer fell, a huge gap more than one person high and four or five meters wide was created instantly, and a large number of bricks, stones, and debris flew inward, and dust flew up—
As the wall of the warehouse collapsed inward, the players filed in and rushed in with red eyes!
Yes, they can hear clearly. There are many "summoned creatures" in it, and other people can kill them at will.
Although it's enough to hold on... But if you beat it directly, it must be fine, right
— Players have watched the live broadcast before.
Summoning creatures will give you a lot of experience!
