Chapter 110: The Kingdom in the Shadows

"Hey, Charles, wake up!"

In a daze, a fluttering voice suddenly sounded in my ears. Charles's nerves have been tense lately, and when he heard movement, he reflexively sat up and immediately opened his eyes.

This is the bed in the dormitory, there is a figure lying on the mouth of the mosquito net, and a pair of eyes are very bright in the dark. Charles' brain is back in operation, who else can sleep with? He picked up his phone and looked at the time, and couldn't help but say speechlessly: "I said, why don't you come to my bed without sleeping?" ”

"There's a situation, there's a situation."

The figure jumped out of bed and turned on the dormitory light, which turned out to be Zhang Ze. He stood under the bed and shouted excitedly, "Someone has witnessed a devastating battle on the shores of Pterodactyl Lake. ”

"He uploaded a series of screenshots of the ruins on the official website in the early hours of the morning."

"A fishing village was destroyed."

"And it is said that the victorious side got some ancient treasure, and drove the warship to leave quickly."

Hearing these fragmented words, Charles was awake completely. Wing Dragon Lake, fishing villages, and ancient treasures, these keywords are linked, which means that the incident is very likely to be related to the old sword saint.

He hurriedly opened the official website of "Dawn" on his mobile phone and went to the Cormier section of the Forest Kingdom.

A post is pinned to the top, with hundreds of pages of replies. Charles clicked in, and the high-resolution pictures were arranged one by one on the screen of his phone.

The scene in the first image made Charles look stunned.

The familiar Sunset Mountains, but because it was night and the torrential rain had just stopped, it was still covered in a layer of dark clouds. The camera then zooms in the distance, in a small fishing village on the shore of a lake. It was already a scorched ruin with a glow.

The next picture is a bit bloody.

The ruins were littered with corpses and severed limbs, and the villagers were dying horribly. Charles looked down with a calm face, and a fairly familiar corpse came into view.

The deceased was Barton, the militia captain of Sunset Fishing Village.

He sat on his knees. His eyes were wide open, his body was full of holes in the scale armor, and a scimitar pierced his chest, which was a fatal wound. But before he died, Barton hugged an elite pirate tightly, and also sent the long sword in his hand into the other party's heart.

Charles pauses his gaze on a bouquet of white flowers next to Barton's corpse, which is supposed to be dedicated to the Native hero by the player who took the screenshot.

"Pirates?"

He turned his gaze to the burly man who was scuffling with Patton. This is a pirate with a grim face. Bronzed skin, **'s upper body is covered with hideous scars, and pirates surround the lower body. Like a skirt, the brown spacious leather pants printed with strange fish patterns also allowed Charles to identify the corpse.

Judging by the style of clothing, this is a Drevan person. Residents of the Dragon Coast!

Drevering Marauders!

Charles took a light breath. Pull the post directly to the bottom and start carefully checking the players' replies one by one.

More information, in a fragmented way, is being disclosed.

For example, a player was at the dock at the mouth of the Shen River, and saw that the dock officials actually allowed three large warships to cross the checkpoint and go straight up the river without intercepting and inspecting them.

There are also players in small towns near Pterodactyl Lake. Seeing the incident, the local lord and cleric priest hurried out of town. Rush to the fishing village.

Even, there were players who were doing chores in Susal City Hall, and it was revealed that the royal family had recruited consuls overnight, and then several garrisons in Sussal, the Purple Dragon Legion and the War Mage garrison, began martial law.

All kinds of information point to a possibility: Cormier's big plot is coming.

The Millennial Kingdom will soon be in the midst of a catastrophe!

In the post, there is a similarity in the various replies of players, that is, the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming big plot.

"Damn it." Charles, however, had an ugly face.

The rune giant sword that the old swordmaster used when he repelled the Winged Nightshadow was undoubtedly the ancient sword that players discussed. The Marauder of the Draven had a clear goal and took the sword away, while the old Swordmaster was nowhere to be found.

Charles vaguely felt that this plot was inseparable from him. The old sword master lived in seclusion in a fishing village, living a lonely and ordinary life, and it stands to reason that no one could discover his existence.

Perhaps it was that night, when the Winged Nightshade descended, that the evil natives also witnessed the battle.

In fact, while traveling away from Susar, Charles could sense that someone was following the group. Especially on the night of camping, an unknown humanoid monster was disturbed by the dream, and was forced to retreat by a sorcerer using a spell.

When the Winged Nightshade appeared, he had thought it was also an undead, but now it seemed that it was most likely a native and connected to the Draven Marauders!

"What's in me that attracts the Aborigines?" Charles fell into deep thought.

【Magic Painting】Impossible. Only the undead and necromancers can perceive the item.

The 'Stone of Ion' was not possible, he had carefully studied the stone, and there was no mark on it such as the mark of the arcane method, and no one else could locate it and know that the stone was on him.

Well, there is only the Medal of Honor, which is always in the first slot of the inventory.

"Whew......" Charles let out a long breath. When he got the medal from the old mage Haishizi, he thought it was a disaster, but he couldn't help but take the item.

Orcs.

Drevan Marauders.

The nobles who are ready to move and want to empty the royal power, as well as the cultists and demon believers lurking in the dark corners.

These explosions were concentrated together, and Charles felt that Cormier was really lucky. This is just the prelude to the Dark Ages, when the contradictions between the gods are becoming more and more acute, and the disputes will eventually affect the material continent, and then the show will begin.

Continue to lie down and sleep.

Staring at the ceiling from the bed, Charles had a clear mind.

The big events that happened in the Susar region far away, he can only watch helplessly now. It is necessary to speed up the pace of purifying the 'Immortal Land', sacrifice the [Magic Painting] to Yeyao as soon as possible, and then return to the civilized world to participate in the main plot of the Cormier Kingdom.

……

Day 3.

"Bang"

A spiked chain hammer smashed into the skull of a demon. The demon screamed, ignited by the white flames, and fell to the priest.

"Kill the Demon (Elite)."

"Earn 2,000 universal XP."

"Gain 20 XP."

Charles cleared the line of text prompts. Glancing at the character panel, the [Upgrade] option is already shining.

After clicking [Upgrade], the retina is once again filled with dark green text:

"The priesthood has been upgraded to level 8."

"HP +8, gain 3 idle skill points."

"+1 for the Triple Ring spell slot."

"Gain 1 free attribute point."

As usual, throw 3 idle skill points on the 'Focus' skill, so that the 'Focus' skill has 11 points. This way, when he is riding a horse or in a speeding boat, he doesn't have to worry about failing to cast spells.

The biggest reward for reaching level eight. Nature is 1 free stat point.

Every time a character rises by four levels, they get an attribute point. This is the second time Charles has earned stat points. Given the recent hand-to-hand combat, there are very few opportunities to perform divine magic. And. Counting the race +2 bonus, his perception attribute is enough to have 21 points, which is properly enough, and it is no problem to lose legendary spells.

So. Charles put this attribute point. added to the power.

The upgraded panel properties become:

[Charr]

Race: Human

Attributes: Strength 13 (+3), Constitution 15, Agility 10, Intelligence 13, Perception 19 (+2 Race), Charisma 13

Class: Civilian Lv10 (Max) / Priest Lv8 (980/128000)

Health: 65/65

……”

Counting the equipment bonus of the 'Stone of Ion', he now has 16 Strength stat.

Charles nodded, looking at the experience gauge value behind Priest lv8. I couldn't help but gasp lightly. Level 8 is upgraded to level 9, and the experience points required officially break the 100,000-point mark.

The experience required to move from level 9 to level 10 is doubled on top of that. Ascended eleven levels and doubled...... Count it again. Charles found that it was a long time ago to reach the level 20 exemplary level.

Let's base ourselves on the present.

Looking around, the area around the Glory Passage was cleaned up by him again. After almost being intercepted by the Skeleton Warlord the day before yesterday, Charles has been much more careful when he has been active in the underworld in the past two days.

Never go far from the passage, and the farthest is to the beach of the earthly river.

Now Charles is heading in the direction of the Earth.

Today, he deliberately made a series of preparations, and even saved the number of dispels three times, and the state of 'Geush's vision' could last for more than an hour. Charles wants to try it and see if he can take out the 3 ghost Naga.

If you successfully clear out three level 10 elite monsters, the experience points are no less than killing a lord monster. In addition to the experience points, Charles expects the Ghost Naga to drop loot.

These two reasons were enough to push Charles to go on an adventure.

"Rumble"

The river rushed at your feet, the water was turbulent, and the sound of the waves echoed in the underground world, like thunder.

As Charles walked a little further downstream, he untied a burlap bag that hung from his waist, and contained a small boar with his limbs bound by rope.

"Snort."

Pulling out a small dagger and cutting a few bloody wounds on the boar, Charles threw the boar on the pebbles that had just overflowed the river, and then cast a spell on himself with the emblem.

"[Undead Ignorance] (1st Ring): Undead cannot detect the recipient, group spells, and each level affects one ally."

This is equivalent to an invisibility spell, but only works on the undead.

Spectral Naga has a high level of perception and charisma, and has spell-casting abilities similar to those of the Warlock class, and can generally see through his invisibility with prophecy spells.

But after all, he had to try, and if he didn't work, he would start his 'flying technique' and turn around and escape, which was the retreat that Charles had already decided.

The little boar was snorting and struggling on the pebbles.

The waves that swept into the tidal flats carried the blood from the boar's body into the river, and the hot blood spread in the cold river.

Soon, three serpentine black shadows came from the downstream direction.

"It's coming!"

Charles took a deep breath and clenched the wooden emblem in his hand. (To be continued......)
