Chapter 288: Don't You Look at the Minimap?
Although Sivi didn't care about the lives of the other contestants at first, after all, unlike being a porter, every resurrection of a person has to spend some divine power.
This is because the contestants are all in the fragments of the kingdom of God under his jurisdiction, and the souls will not be directly taken to the underworld, and there is no need to hide the souls of the dead from the hands of the Dead Hades Lord, otherwise the divine power spent will be multiplied.
However, when writing the rules for the first round, Sivi realized that the mortality rate of this match could be very high, and the percentage of eliminators who encountered situations such as 'failed to collect five markers for three consecutive days and was disqualified' or 'found the resurrection stone before collecting all the markers and was teleported out by random touching, and thus disqualified'.
I'm afraid that the vast majority of eliminators were either killed by other contestants or died from monsters or traps.
Even if according to the most optimistic estimates, half of the eliminators survived, at least six hundred people would have died!
Even if the public was immersed in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the game at the beginning and did not realize it in time, as long as the first round is over, I am afraid that public opinion will immediately reverse.
After all, many church preachers are essentially no different from salesmen, they are all propagandists, and they must know how to stir up people's emotions and guide the direction of public opinion.
In this way, the righteous image that the Lancaster City Lord had so hard built will soon fall apart!
Taking a step back, 600 people is not a small number even if they are scattered among various churches, and no matter how much people can participate in this Twin Cities Cup, it is impossible to be weak.
If so many people die in one go, the name of the Church of the God of Games may be directly classified as a heretical shoe cult by those churches, and the Twin Cities Cup will be used as a means for the Church of the God of Games to eliminate dissidents.
When the time comes, it's really yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it's not but either.
Realizing that he didn't need to make a feud with those churches, Sivi changed the setting so that the contestants who died on the labyrinth island could be resurrected directly to Lancaster Square.
As for why everyone is missing something, it's because Sivi feels that the intact resurrection of these people may make the gods of other churches realize that their side is unusual, and if it is this kind of resurrection with certain flaws, although it will also be vigilant, but the degree will be much lighter - as early as when it was decided to start the name of the Church of the God of Games with this Twin Cities Cup, Sivi was ready to be vigilant by other gods.
Well, it's definitely not because Xiwei is too picky, and while reshaping their bodies, he wants to save a little bit of divine power......
☆
Unlike players who were able to learn from the outside world about the Church of the God of Games who died on Labyrinth Island and were resurrected in the outside world through the player forums, the Wyvern Knights of the Temple of Glory were caught in a dilemma.
They thought that the Twin Cities Cup would be at most a competition in martial arts, magic, or divine arts.
For this kind of competition, the glorious shrine of the Church of Critos, the god of war, is held almost every month.
This also made the Wyvern Knights full of confidence at first, and they didn't even bring their own mounts and spears, so they rushed directly to the venue with a sword and some simple gadgets.
In their cognition, as long as they were careful of the gloomy ascetics of the Chongbai Church in this competition, there was no problem for them, and the people from the other churches were basically not enough to watch, let alone the players who dressed like ragtags.
Just kidding, what kind of combat power can those sand sculptures with all kinds of fish heads have? Could it be that we can still be seconded?
Then, as soon as the game began, they were suddenly teleported to the labyrinth island, and fell into a brief panic.
I don't know if it's because Xiwei can't get used to the commanding appearance of these guys, or if it's just their unlucky relationship, as soon as they enter the Labyrinth Island, the Wyvern Riders without Wyverns were attacked by wandering lizards.
After defeating the lizards, they ran into a large group of pig-headed men, and by the time the exhausted dragon knights had knocked down a hundred or so pig-headed men, killing them and fleeing, nearly half of their personnel had been lost, and less than fifteen were still groping their way forward.
They were then greeted by the classic Bowling Trap and Guillotine Trap, and before they knew it, the elite of the Temple of Glory had suffered another serious blow, with only eight surviving.
When it comes to combat, the Wyvern Knights are indeed the elite of the elite, each of them is not much weaker than the veteran players, and if they ride a bipedal Wyvern, I'm afraid only first-line players can compete with them.
But when it comes to exploring strange lands and surviving in the wilderness, they're obviously much worse.
The labyrinth seems to lead in all directions, but as they walk, they somehow return to the same place. This is nothing, after all, the maze itself has the function of confusing people, and the road idiot is not a fatal flaw for the warrior who has awakened the fighting spirit.
The problem is that all the mechanics of this maze will be reset.
So they had to run miserably again and again to dodge the huge stone balls rolling from the heights, or to grasp the rhythm and pass through the huge guillotine traps that swayed back and forth as if they were playing a musical game.
It's not that they haven't attacked these mechanisms, but in the past, they could easily split through a rock as big as a stone ball, but here they couldn't cut through the stone ball, leaving only a shallow scratch on its surface......
The same is true for guillotines, although they can attack the root of the guillotine, but the broken guillotine will explode directly, like a fragmentation grenade, inflicting a powerful damage on everyone, and several people have not died under the guillotine, but have been broken into a sieve by fragments due to the destruction of their own people...... What's even more fucking up is that the culprit has also become a sieve, and no one can be found if he wants to spill his anger......
It's so angry, but I still have to continue to clear the level.
After several laps like this, the Wyvern Knights had lost their former confidence and composure, and walked sneakily through the maze like refugees, reaching for their hands to clasp the floor with every step or two to see if any mechanism would be triggered.
Several players who inadvertently passed by this place with their dogs, Jem and Tang Rui, couldn't help but be a little speechless after looking at such a miserable dragon knight and learning about their tragic past.
Jem, who originally regarded the other party as a fierce rival, had a feeling of punching into the cotton: Just like that, you are embarrassed to claim to be a believer in the God of War, the elite of the Temple of Glory?
And Tang Rui's mind is much simpler: don't you all look at the minimap......
Oh, there's no minimap. That's fine.
