Chapter 44: The Hunt for the Goddess of Abuse
It was an accident.
An accident that even Sauron didn't expect, because according to his assessment of the Battle Banner Trial, a mid-to-high-level and above professional would not die in reality because he died in the trial.
But the accident eventually happened.
The dead elite pirate had stopped breathing and heartbeat, and Sauron had his soul in his hands.
There is a downside to the Battle Banner Trial.
Because it is a real illusion, all people who die in the trial must go through a mandatory death exemption judgment when they exit, and if their own will is insufficient, the trialist may die in the illusion and cause his or her own death in reality.
Obviously.
This elite pirate is because he did not pass the death immunity judgment.
Accidents have already happened.
Sauron had no choice but to send these trialists out first. As for the aftermath, he had already planned for the aftermath, because from the very beginning he had imagined what to do if something happened.
Iron golems appeared.
"The trial is complete."
"Please come out of here with me."
The Iron Golem spoke in a cold, mechanical voice to the pirates, who had just experienced a real death, and they were all very tired. Although he noticed that there seemed to be one person missing, only one of them spoke, "Where is the swordfish?" Why is he gone? ”
The Iron Golem spoke, "He's finished his trial and he's been sent somewhere else. ”
"Now I'll escort you out of here."
Hearing the Iron Golem's words, the other pirates hesitated for a moment and left.
The pirates were chosen at random, they didn't have a good relationship with each other, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't care too much if there was one person missing.
Because the death they just experienced gave them a lot of realization.
On the other side, the arrangement was much easier, and all the officer class in Modo City returned to the barracks.
At this time, Sauron also came to the dead pirate's corpse, which had no wounds on it. The expression on the deceased's face was quite frightened, and there were still remnants of the expression on the face of death in the phantom realm.
In simple terms.
He was actually scared to death!
With the ability of a high-level professional, he can fully withstand the side effects of failing the trial, but if he believes that he is really dead at that moment, then the final result is that the body dies in reality.
"There has to be a way to deal with it."
Sauron thought for a moment, raised his hand and gently waved his hand to carve a complex rune mark on the device connected to the Battle Banner Trial, and he muttered, "A blessing circle that strengthens the will? Strengthen the Trialist's immunity resistance the moment they exit! This should reduce the chance of accidents, right? ”
The circle was completed quickly.
After completing this immunity strengthened magic circle, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, because this magic circle actually looked a little familiar to him.
"Where have you seen it?"
Suddenly, Sauron seemed to think of something. The whole person stayed where he was, and it took a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and left.
………………
The accident of the Battle Flag Trial did not spread.
On the contrary, its benefits spread among the upper echelons of Modo City, because one of the trialists, Jack, after experiencing a death battle, actually quickly broke through the original bottleneck and became a professional in Modo City that was very close to the legendary realm.
The Battle Banner Trial is obvious for the advancement of professionals, especially those who charge on the front line.
Facing death is something that every fighter has to go through.
In reality, such an experience may not be able to survive in the end, the desperate death provided by the Battle Banner Trial gives the warrior a chance to accumulate anger, and the breakthrough between life and death directly allows Jack to master the ability to be close to the legendary level.
"The trial must go on."
"A small casualty is still bearable, compared to the results of the Battle Banner Trial."
Sauron sat in his study and thought about everything. All those who have passed the Battle Banner Trial are within the scope of his secret investigation, and almost every trialist will have a period of weakness after just completing it, but after passing the weakness period, their strength has improved very significantly.
Almost all trialists have a small boost.
In this comparison, a trialist who died unexpectedly is not so important.
Sauron was not overly merciful and merciful.
The second wave of the Sage Catastrophe could erupt at any moment. And the subsequent third and fourth waves of shocks do not know how many people will die, and only a few will survive in the end, and it is worth exchanging a little risk for future survival with a little risk now.
Mordo City. Port area.
With a dull roar, a huge float slowly docked near the lighthouse in the harbor area.
Although now the number of floatboats has reached double digits. But every time I return home, I still attract onlookers. The floatship had just returned from Arendelle, and thanks to advanced alchemy technology, it only took a day and a half to travel between Arendelle and Modor City.
It flew in a straight line in the sky.
Such high efficiency instantly made many people realize the business opportunities. Even other chambers of commerce are trying to figure out how to replicate the structure of the floatboat.
Sauron had no surprises at this.
As long as he controls the core technology of the floating ring, then he can firmly control the interests in it.
The Great Temple.
A wanderer shrouded in a cloak hurried into the apse, kneeling down on one knee at a man who was contemplating and saying, "Your Excellency the High Priest! ”
"We've found traces of the Girl in Pain."
"She and her followers appeared in the city of Talen, where the nobility had been infiltrated and corrupted, and many of those in power had been secretly controlled by them."
Hearing this, the high priest raised his head and said slowly, "Have you finally found it?" ”
"I'm telling my lord now."
"You've sent people to spy on their church's actions, but you've missed any important information."
The loiterer responded, "Yes! ”
The next moment.
The High Priest appeared in Sauron's study, and in response to the sudden arrival of the High Priest, Sauron raised his head in confusion and said, "Is there anything important?" ”
"My lord." The High Priest bowed and said, "I have found the trace of the Pain Maiden Lauveta." ”
"She and her church are hidden in the city of Tarun."
Finally found it?!
Sauron's expression was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on them." ”
"I'm sending someone to the mainland now, it's time for a hunt!"
He had been searching for the Misery Maiden for some time, and the evil goddess was so cautious that even Sauron, who controlled a large number of wanderers, had only now gotten important clues.
Sauron thought for a moment and said, "Don't startle the snake yet. ”
"I'll go to Tarun City tomorrow and send someone to deliver the news to the eldest princess of Arendelle."
"The Girl of Pain and the Maiden of Winter are allies."
"Presumably she'll have the slightest interest in destroying the enemy's allies."
