Hearing this, Karen's eyes lit up, as if she saw that her prey was finally hooked, and she looked at it squarely and said: "My master and I don't like stupid people, originally you don't have the right to talk to me with your intelligence, but fortunately, intelligence does not fully represent wisdom, as long as you can prove your wisdom to us, you can get the opportunity to continue communicating with me." ”

Following the other party out of the room, Sherlock also learned from the other party how to prove his wisdom.

It's easy to say, just play a game with them.

It's also difficult to say that it's difficult, because this game is extremely complex.

The title of the game is Dungeons & Dragons: Lich Scourge 2: King of the Shadows, and it is a self-made expansion based on the Mage chess system, which is said to have been instigated by the Dusk Lord Evend himself, and participants need to play a set role throughout the story to complete their ultimate goal in order to achieve victory.

To put it simply, it's a virtual online game in the Forgotten Realm, where these mages who stay at home all day have nothing else to do, and the mages are all good at playing chess, and the self-made expansion pack was invented after they got tired of playing the battle mode to satisfy their various quirky ideas.

When Sherlock returned to the room on the top floor, a smiling Evend and a preoccupied Nick had been waiting on a delicate board for a long time, and both casters were eager to try the game.

The former is because after so many years, someone can finally appreciate his masterpiece;

The latter, like Sherlock, promised him that he would tell him the way to immortality if he won the game.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll explain the rules again, first of all, the character setting...... And then...... Part XVII, Battle Judgment ...... The twenty-ninth and final part is about the judgment of victory......"

Evander talked for more than an hour, detailing the origin and rules of the entire expansion, outlining a completely different worldview from the Forgotten Realm.

As a professional gamer with ten years of gaming experience, Sherlock should be familiar with role-playing games, but after listening to the whole rules, he still feels full of confusion.

Is this game system idle and nothing to do, as for setting up such a huge set of rules and backgrounds for such a small game that may never be played by players?

As Karen said, this is a puzzle game, which requires your superb combat skills, and whether you can go on and achieve the final victory depends on your exploration and layout.

"To be fair, as the designer of the game, I'll let my puppet play the game instead of me."

With a wave of his hand, a puppet that looked eight or nine points similar to his appearance before his death appeared in front of everyone, and the game officially began.

"I choose King Takla's illegitimate daughter and put the rest of my remaining points into charm......" Karen was the first to speak, and in a standard lingua franca.

Sherlock had been misled by the other party's behavior before, how could such a highly intelligent creature not know the language of other races.

"I chose to be a young man from a poor farming town, and the special condition is that he was recruited as a paladin by the God of Light." Nick had been researching evil necromancy since his lifetime, and now he chose a paladin to play the game.

Next up is Evend's puppet, who chooses the novice adventurer of fame with a treasure map of the extra item Sword in the Stone.

Finally, there was Sherlock, and the other three obviously had their own plans, and after listening to their choices, he already had a clue about it.

"I choose a prince who bears the hatred of the country and the family, and the knowledge and materials needed to transform the lich."

The entire expansion is called Lich Scourge, and how can there be no Lich appearance, although it will be rejected by the good camp because of this, but this should be the fastest way to gain power.

"Interesting start, it seems that everyone already understands how to play the game, so here we go!" With that, Evend waved his staff.

In the next moment, Sherlock was already in the middle of a huge city that was in the midst of war.

He had tried to dream within a dream, but it was the first time he had played an RPG in a virtual online game.

Just like multiple dreams, the story of this game cannot be as gradual as in the game or in reality.

After twenty-five hours of play, Sherlock had gathered tens of thousands of undead and began to attack the Holy See of Light.

If you talk about combat strength alone, he can say that he has a chance to win, but at a critical moment in this battle, a strategic mistake caused his battle line to be opened by the enemy army.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the leader of the Knights of Light led by Nick drove straight in, rushing all the way in front of him to complete the decapitation tactic.

When the Light comes upon him, it means that he is out.

At the beginning of the game, his development went very smoothly, and he successfully transformed into the most powerful template in this expansion - the Lich, and quickly gathered a large number of younger brothers with his rich game experience, which is very obvious.

But he is a lone player, and he has no ability to manage large teams and command large battles at all, so he can only make hasty moves before his subordinates' combat power exceeds their ability to control, so there is the current result.

The game continues, and Nick, who has been sharp in resisting the Lich invasion, manages to stand out from all the captains and is promoted to the chief knight.

Then he urged the Pope to launch a holy war against Takla in the name of different faiths, and finally defeated the combined forces of Karen and Evander in the holy war, and won the final victory.

At the same time, the end of the game is announced!

"Papa-" Evander looked at the four people whose consciousness was detached from the chess game, and applauded: "The wonderful plot finally didn't insult my hard work." ”

Nick has no entity, and every second he enters the mage chess is equivalent to consuming the power of his already weak soul, and now that he has won the final victory, he is really not in the mood to engage in such inconsequential conversations, and roars hoarsely: "Tell me quickly, tell me how to live immortally." ”

"Of course, my old friend, we agreed." Evander didn't seem to hear the eagerness in the other party's tone, and still said slowly: "I don't know what this method is, but it is rumored that in a certain area of the Falling Star Sea, there is an island that disappears from time to time, and there is a necromancer on the island who holds the power of soul reincarnation......"
