The hundred-strong Dark Knights hid in the hilly forest.

In the outside world, although the Susal royal court tried its best to mobilize all forces to crusade against the Drevaen pirates, the aboriginal forces inside and outside the imperial capital, including the Sha'er Church, were mostly on a wait-and-see posture.

The Adventurers' Guild did not issue any quests for the Susar main story, and this organization has always maintained neutrality on the mainland, so they were able to open the guild to the drow elf city-states of the underworld, and even the tentacles were still extending to the lower levels of the Mind Flayer.

The Mercenary Guild has issued a crusade against pirates, but it is limited to crusades, and there are no other tasks to investigate evil believers, spy on evil strongholds, etc., and further get into the core plot.

The two giants of the union world were unmoved, and the others, such as the Alchemists' Union, the Gladiators' Union, and the Sage Union, of course, also chose neutrality.

As for the temples and religious organizations, except for the "Three Holy Spirits" Temple and the Luoshanda Temple, which always uphold justice and are willing to meddle in Bane's conspiracy, the attitude of the other temples is very vague, and there is neither neutrality nor any sign of interference, in short, inaction and infighting.

However, in addition to the "Three Holy Spirits" and the church in Los Angeles, there is another church whose activities are notable.

The Church of Knowledge, which has always maintained neutrality, actually took the initiative to send an extremely elite team of Templar Knights, led by the Knight Chief Haber himself, to the royal court to serve the regent Princess Yalusel.

Naturally, the Church of Ogma's anomalous attitude has caused a lot of discussion.

At this time.

In the valley of the twilight on the outskirts of Susar, a temple of shadows that lies dormant underground, hundreds of players have gathered.

"What the hell does that woman Lucia want to do......"

Lord of the Temple of Shadows. High Priestess of Sha'er, Lady of the Night. Looking up at the tall stone statue of the goddess in front of him. His face was cloudy and uncertain.

Behind her, were two professionals in black robes. One is a shadow warlock, and the other is a Black Moon Warrior Monk.

"Priest Sandora, I have gathered the Holy Presence who follow Sha'er." The Shadow Warlock said coldly, "The Pivot Stone has been destroyed, and the power of the Shadow Magic Network in the Susar region has been weakening dramatically in the past few days, and it is difficult for the believers below to walk in the outside world, so we can only rely on this group of Holy Presences......"

"I know."

Sandora's pale palms. Slightly grasping the transparent black magic crystal scepter in his hand, he turned his back to the Shadow Warlock and the Black Moon Warrior Monk, and started to walk up to the main altar.

This was a signal, and the hundreds of players gathered in the main hall square stopped talking.

"You have thrown yourself into the shadows."

The priestess's majestic and crisp words echoed through the temple. She held the Scepter of the Crystal and stood in the center of the altar, which happened to be in the arms of the stone statue of Sha'er, so that in the eyes of the players below, the priestess seemed to be embraced by a god. More mysterious and powerful.

After saying the first sentence, Sandora was in no hurry to continue. Instead, with deep eyes, he looked around at the Holy Coming beneath the Great Altar.

What she saw were excited, excited faces.

Everyone's gaze at her was burning and full of desire.

Of course, Sandora could see that this desire was not aimed at herself, but was looking forward to something else.

Players who believe in Sha'er and choose the [Neutral Evil] camp have no reason not to get excited.

Because Cormier is a good country, the aborigines and players of the evil camp here are all street rats, and it is impossible to walk openly under the sun.

Therefore, Cormier players who choose the wrong camp will be very hard, and when they are outside leveling up and running missions, a player who is accidentally encountered by other good camps will basically be chased by a large group of people until they die.

Players from opposing factions will not have an offset value if they fight each other, on the contrary, killing players of different factions and beliefs will also receive a large amount of reputation and contribution rewards.

In a high position, Sandora may not have been aware of the struggle of the Holy Arrivals to survive.

She was not like Isaac, who went on a missionary frenzy in Susar and recruited believers. For the Holy Presence, Sandora also adheres to the elite route, and only believers who have risen from the bottom step by step are qualified to become followers of the Night Lady.

Therefore, although the number of players gathered under the altar is small, the levels and equipment are not lagging behind the mainstream progress of Cormier, and the outstanding ones have even crossed several gradients, and they have the strength of Cormier's first-line players.

Alan is the strongest of these people, and aside from the other part-time ranks, he already has 5 levels in the advanced class of 'Shadow Warlock'.

That's right.

Warlock Lv6 / Shadow Warlock Lv5.

If you add a part-time job, his class template becomes: Warrior Monk lv2 / Warlock lv6 / Shadow Warlock lv5.

It is too rare for a player to reach all the requirements of an advanced class before level 10 and successfully find an advanced class. You must know that many aborigines around level 20 still take the basic career template and travel around the continent.

Among the Cormier player group, game veterans such as Zhang Ze, Long Yan Yifeng and Qi Guangming have not fully obtained the advanced career template, which can be said to be the old bird's caution, and on the other hand, they have failed to meet the preconditions for the ideal advanced profession and cannot receive advanced tasks.

'Shadow Warlock' is an advanced class under the temple system, and although it has many restrictions, it is much more powerful than the normal temple advanced class. As they advance, they can automatically obtain the relevant expertise of the "Shadow Magic Network", which greatly increases the power of the Plastic, Illusion, and Necromantic spells.

At the same time, the 'Shadow Warlock' can also gain an additional number of daily spells through the power of the Shadow Magic Net. If it's a 'shadow mage', it's equivalent to getting a few more permanent spell slots.

"Can you feel the power of the shadows waning?"

The second sentence of the priestess on the altar made the 'shadow warlock' Alan's face move and his expression became more focused.

Sandora held up the Scepter to suppress the noise under the altar, and when hundreds of players had all looked at it, she said angrily, "That's right. The Night Lady's Shadow Demon Web has been destroyed! ”

"There is a hole in the Shadow Fiend net in the Susar region. The power of the shadows gradually weakened. Eventually, it may end up dead ...... The abominable murderer not only destroyed the Nexus, but also killed a team of Black Moon Warrior Monks......"

Speaking of this, Sandora shook the scepter violently, and several blood-colored jade rings embedded in the top of the magic crystal scepter made a crisp sound of clanging bells in the tremor.

"We're going to do everything we can to fix the Shadow Fiend."

"At the same time, we must also swear to the death to find the murderer who destroyed the Shadow Demon Net, imprison him, and torture him. Imprison his soul for eternity and eternity, and tell the other Xentics that Sha'er's sanctity does not allow them to be desecrated, and that her servants are willing to give up all their efforts to maintain the Shadow Demon Net! ”

The priestess gave a generous speech on the altar, and the players below were all excited.

Their excitement lies in the fact that the Night Temple is finally about to issue a big mission.

There is no room for players in the evil camp to intervene in the main story of Cormier, and when I go to the forums every day to see other players post their gains in the main story, players who believe in the Lady of the Night have long been full of resentment, and some people even want to delete the number and reconnect.

It can be said that the Night Player who has been able to hold on for two months until now, without defecting to the temple or deleting the number. They can all be called resolute, after all, few people can endure the grievance of being killed several times in a day.

'Shadow Warlock' Alan stared at the line of quest materials in front of him:

"[Temple of the Night—Mending the Shadow Net] (accepted)."

"[Temple of the Night - Hunt for the Murderer] (Accepted)."

These are two group purple quality missions. As long as it is a player who believes in the Night Lady Sha'er, there is no routine inquiry from the system, and the task is automatically hung up in the panel.

The first task is to repair the Shadow Demon Net.

After a cursory glance at the mission description, Alan realized that the mission objective was vague, as if the player was going to find a way to repair the web on their own, and the temple was not providing any help.

The second mission is to track down the murderer.

"[Coordinate Display] ......?" Allen's eyes were full of doubts, the coordinate bar was clearly empty, they didn't know any information about the murderer, how to find someone.

The players around him were talking to each other and making commotions, but Alan just stood still, very withdrawn, thinking to himself.

On the altar, Sandora looked at the crowd below, her face expressionless, and she didn't mean to explain much.

"The Holy Coming is only the Holy Coming after all......

The shadow warlock behind her said with a grim smile, "According to intelligence, Musk's thieves' union in Susar still has a 'shadow stone' hidden, and now that Susar is in chaos, we can sneak into the city and carefully search for the location of the thieves' union." ”

"And the murderer who destroyed the Shadow Demon Network and killed a team of Black Moon Monks—"

At this point, the Shadow Warlock suddenly stopped, and another Black Moon Warrior Monk, who had been silent, finally spoke, "I think the Night Lady will guide us to the murderer." ”

"Oh?"

Both the priestess and the shadow magician were watching.

……

Meanwhile.

In the mountains and forests not far from Eagle Peak Town, a priest in a black robe walked out of the camp calmly, and his female attendant, the Bloodline Sorcerer, stopped at the gate of the fence to watch his back as he gradually disappeared into the forest, and did not follow.

The Dark Knight guarding the camp withdrew his suspicious gaze and continued to patrol the fence with his spear in hand. At the central tent, the female knight Lilisi bit her lip and hesitated for more than ten seconds, and finally walked back to the tent with a light sigh, no longer asking about the private affairs of the dark priest.

Yes, private matters. Not long ago, "Ron" made it easy for her in the tent and left alone. Although the Earl of Silverhorn told her to pay attention to the dark priesthood before she set out, when a real person faced the heroic priesthood, Lilith found herself extremely lacking in courage.

"Almost......"

Pausing on a leafy forest slope, Charles looked back behind him, where the makeshift camp loomed among the trees of the valley, far away.

Rip off the black robes on his body, revealing a well-equipped body. (To be continued......)
