"In this world, does there really exist a heavenly kingdom?" Eleanor asked gloomily.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Aske asked, surprised, "Also, didn't you climb the stairs with Sidlifa?" Where is she? ”

"Just asking." Eleanor replied.

Not being able to save the woman made her feel a strong sense of guilt. If you tell Asker, maybe he will be dissolved in a few words.

And she didn't want to be exonerated because it was her fault.

"If you're talking about heaven in the Solomonic sense, there shouldn't be." Asker chatted with her as he climbed the stairs, "Our Hearthfire Island is essentially a fragment of what was once Paradise Mountain—it's just a floating island. ”

"But what happened after the death of the man, Medea once told you, right?" Aske continued, "When a person dies, the ego remains in the corpse, the superego sinks into the sea of the subconscious, and the true self disappears completely. ”

"So to die is to die, right?" Eleanor's tone was heavy, thinking that whether the woman committed suicide or died because of her, she would never see her dead husband and children again.

Reunion in Heaven after death is only a beautiful phantom after all.

"Yes." Aske said, "So come on and get stronger, don't die." ”

"Hmm." Eleanor replied sullenly.

Climb to the top of the building, run down quickly, and continue from the first floor. After repeating this dozens of times, the transcendent power that was almost overflowing was finally digested a little, and even the physical strength of the people with him was greatly improved.

The most obvious changes are Medea and Nola, these two originally had no martial arts foundation at all, and they would collapse to the ground after running a thousand meters, but now they can climb to the twentieth floor in one breath before panting slightly.

Aske sighed, the setting of saturation of supernatural power was indeed unexpected to him.

In the game world of the previous life, players naturally didn't have the saying that it exploded, only the setting of "experience points reached the upper limit and no new experience could be obtained", but I didn't expect NPCs to be so troublesome.

My own body is still the body of an NPC after all.

With the body of level 2, absorbing all the physical power equivalent to a level 4 transcendent, to say that you can completely digest it after running a few stairs, it is hanging.

However, without digesting the rest of the forces, it is impossible to continue fighting.

Asker stood on the roof of the building, looking into the distance, thinking that his original plan had to be greatly adjusted.

The residential tower is located at the top of the Third Hill, which in turn is the highest in the vicinity, so that from the top of the building it is easy to overlook the 6th and 10th arrondissements below, the Golden Horn in the distance, and even the Galata Peninsula across the Golden Horn.

From a long distance, you can see that the Frankish knights have blossomed in the main city.

To the east, in the direction of the palace, they fought fiercely with the defenders; To the south are the third and second mountains, and because of the climbing, few riders choose this direction.

To the west is the 10th arrondissement, where many houses are already on fire. In the lakeside park along the Golden Horn, vast tracts of landscape trees were cut down by knightly squires to make rudimentary battering rams or chariots, intended to be used to breach the bunkers of the defenders of Constantinople.

Asker sighed, sure enough, this world is still a little different from the previous life, the difference is that there are no players:

In a previous life, when the Frankish knights rushed across the Galata Bridge, the first thing they encountered was not the defenders of Constantinople, but the players.

When the Frankish knights rushed into the sixth and tenth districts and began to loot and slaughter, the players in the city were also shocked to find that for each Frankish knight killed, the extraordinary power they absorbed almost doubled.

Where is this NPC enemy?,This is the experience gift package that the game officially gives to everyone!

As a result, the Frankish knights who rushed into the main city began to face the frantic resistance of the player's army, especially the targeted sniping of the game guild.

The crowds of Frankish knights did not dare to move, but the lone ones were not welcome, dozens or hundreds of players pounced on them to surround and kill, and all kinds of black guns and legs and sticks came.

In the face of the shameless tactics of the players in their teens and twenties for one, the number of Frank knights suddenly plummeted, and the Earl of Memphirat on the opposite side hurriedly adjusted his strategy and let the Frankish knights work in a team of three.

As a result, the players have relied on the extraordinary strength they plundered in the early stage, cultivated a group of sharp knife teams, plus a large number of low-level players who are not afraid of death and can be reborn after death, and killed all the Frankish knights alive, and then occupied the Galata Bridge, counterattacked the Galata Peninsula, and hit the opposite side of the Golden Horn.

Finally, of course, the Earl of Memphirat and the Governor Enrique, who hurriedly left behind the Frankish knights who had not yet boarded the ship, and hastily set sail to flee back to the West.

The Holy See was also unceremonious towards these two culprits, and directly issued an order to expel the two culprits.

The latter is better to say, after all, there is still some money in Venice, while the former was stripped of all titles and territories by the king, and was stoned to death by a group of bishops while passing through the countryside.

And in this world...... Without a large number of players, Asker is doubtful that Constantinople will be able to withstand this attack.

If the Frankish knights could not be defeated, would Zoe still have the same plot to take away Theodora's power and imprison her in the convent?

At the beginning, a popular theory on the forum was that the reason why the two sisters broke up was because Zoe wanted to abandon the imperial capital and flee to the province of Syrith to survive.

Theodora, on the other hand, was adamantly opposed and advocated holding Constantinople and waiting for Western rescue.

As a result, instead of waiting for the rescue from the West, a wave of Frankish knight invasion caused Theodora's prestige in the Senate and the Church to plummet, and Zoe took the opportunity to stage a coup d'état to defeat her and incorporate the Imperial Guard, which had been loyal to her.

Well, it is better to let Constantinople last a little longer, otherwise the two Majesties will really be frightened and flee to the province of Ciris, then his idea of accepting Theodora into the regiment will be in vain.

When Asker turned around, he saw that Mi'er had run to the top of the building, and was about to turn around and go downstairs to continue running.

"Mi'er, come here." Aske called, "Here's the special training designed for you. ”

Mier: ???

She walked over obediently, a look of doubt on her tender little face.

After getting acquainted with everyone, her originally indifferent and numb expression finally gradually loosened and became a little more humane - after all, she is still a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and it is impossible to always have a bitter and hateful face.

Asker beckoned her to lie down on the roof, then told her to pull out her Killer III rifle, switch to sniper form, and aim at the Galata Bridge opposite.

"Distance measurement?" Asker said.

"From here to the bridge, about 1,000 meters." Mi'er replied, "About 980 meters to be exact." ”

"This distance is a relatively appropriate combat distance for a sniper." Asker raised his palm, put it to his ear, and gestured, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Mi'er listened with bated breath, relying on the keen hearing of the half-elves, and she found that in the dense gunfire around her from time to time, mixed with the occasional loud noise, as if it was some kind of louder firearm.

"Sniper?"

"Not bad." "In a street fighting environment like Constantinople, this is where snipers play to their advantage. ”

"The Imperial military should have brought in all the snipers. Their firing range is generally about 600-800 meters, and it is easy to expose their position after firing, so they can only fire when there is a dense fire around them, and they have to change places after firing. ”

"But you don't have to. The Killer III, with its self-aiming parts, has a much longer range than a normal sniper rifle, so you can snipe directly at the Galata Bridge, or even the Galata Peninsula on the other side, and even if someone on the other side gets shot, it is impossible to find your location from a distance of two kilometers. ”

Asker took Killer III, set it up on the edge of the roof like a demo, and glanced across the Golden Horn.

Outside the factory across the Golden Horn, a blind Governor Enrique sat in a chair and waited quietly for the Venisians to move the piles of production and documents out.

The assistant to the governor commanded by his side, reporting to him from time to time on the plunder.

Regardless of the success of the siege of Constantinople, as long as the means of industrial production of the Eastern Solomon Empire could be plundered, Venisia would have achieved its ultimate strategic goal.

Of course, local skilled workers and production experts are also indispensable, and they can take away as much as possible, and they can't...... Kill them on the spot, lest you stay and do things for your competitors.

As a commercial capital, the city-state of Venis originally made a fortune by helping the Holy See do offshore finance and foreign trade transshipment. The war was waged in order to plunder the means of production of the Eastern Solomonic Empire, thus skipping the stage of basic accumulation in industry and manufacturing.

At present, the low-end OEM production of the Holy See is mainly undertaken by factories in the large and small aristocratic territories of the Holy Solomon's Empire. However, the rivalry between Emperor Otto and Holy See Innocent was well known. By the time Otto officially launched the war against Italy and Canada, the Holy See would inevitably stop supplying technology to the HRE Empire, and there would be an urgent need to find a new foundry.

Venis was well placed to take on this wave of industrial transfer, from a purely financial and trading city-state to a powerful state with both financial and industrial productivity.

A country that does not have a minimum of industrial production capacity is absolutely not enough to protect itself in this world.

Just as Governor Enrique was silently pondering, he suddenly heard a shout from his assistant next to him, and threw him to the ground:

"Sniper!"

A bullet traveled 1,800 meters and went straight to Governor Enrique's head. The assistant quickly pounced on it and opened up his own field at the same time.

Shade!

At a distance of five or six meters around him, he instantly fell into a completely invisible darkness.

The high-speed flying bullet shot into the shadow field, and suddenly disappeared strangely - the entire shadow field was a black hole with infinite curvature, distorting the surrounding space and time, directly dissociating the bullet.

This assistant to Governor Enrique is a demigod with a shadow realm!

The snipers on the opposite side continued to shoot, forcing the shadow demigod to dissolve the realm. He had to rapidly expand the black hole, withstanding the bombardment of bullet after bullet, enveloping Governor Enrique into the Shadow Realm.

Then his spirituality expanded, and a white hole was opened inside the factory next to him, spitting out Governor Enrique from the shadow realm.

When Governor Enrique was sent to a room where sniping was not possible, the demigod assistant looked viciously in the direction of the gunshot, trying to locate the hateful sniper from a distance through the shadow of the high-speed bullets.

However, the gunfire stopped abruptly, and not a single bullet was fired.

The shadow demigod immediately turned pale—he realized that he had maintained the realm for so long that his spirit had been consumed too much, causing irreparable damage to his own spirit.

After quickly disarming the realm, he covered his head vigorously in an attempt to calm the violent fluctuations in his spirit.

However, the spiritual fluctuations were so violent that he had to unleash his supernatural power to force down the impulses that were about to get out of control.

Once the transcendent power is unleashed, in the trough state of the current demon tide, it will inevitably intensify the consumption and fluctuation of spirituality.

So this is stuck in an endless cycle of no solution.

On the roof of the residential building on the third hill, Aske lightly put away his rifle, handed it to Mi'er next to him, and said, "Well, take it to snipe the enemy on the Galata Bridge, without saving bullets - it will be your actual combat training." ”

"How many people did you just shoot?" Mi'er asked with some curiosity.

She watched Asker pull the trigger quickly, firing six or seven bullets in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but guess the outcome.

"I didn't shoot anyone." Aske said, "Still, a demigod should have been killed." ”

"Demigods?" Mi'er's eyes widened in bewilderment, thinking to herself, don't you always say, "Under the demigods, the flesh is mortal"? Could it be that demigods can also be killed with a sniper rifle?

Then she saw in the distance on the Galatian Peninsula, and endless shadows exploded.

At that moment, it was as if the entire Galata Peninsula was plunged into darkness, and no light could penetrate it.

After a few moments, the vision vanished again, and the town below was bathed in sunlight again, as if nothing had happened.

"That's?" Mi'er asked in amazement.

"The mutation of the fall of the demigods." Asker replied.
