Susar.

The imperial capital at night.

In a palatial manor in the aristocratic quarter, a priest with an evil aura sits on an altar. He was dressed in a purple-rimmed black robe, holding a silver-white skull emblem in his hand, and his face was covered with an iron mask with a terrified expression.

In front of the priests, there was a large mass of kneeling believers, among whom were nobles, adventurers, and commoners. The priest recited the Midnight Prayer in his mouth, and said in a fanatical tone:

"The Lord of Darkness has returned."

"Believers, return to the arms of Bane. We praise the Son of God who gave his life and his ministry for the resurrection of our Lord. ”

"Now that the Lord of Darkness has returned, all those who dare to stand up to Bane will eventually be struck down by the Dark Hand. Only by serving Bane can we gain true strength. You should spread Bane's dark fears to every corner of the world......"

"Let the world chant the name of the Lord of Darkness with us, Bane-"

"Bane!"

"Bane!!"

The believers opened their voices and hysterically chanted the name of the gods. Bursts of frenzied shouts echoed through the hidden, twisted temples. And when chanting the name of Bane, the believers bow their heads to show their absolute obedience to the Lord of Darkness.

Bane.

The Dark King.

An evil deity with great divine powers, he inherited a priesthood from the ancient god Jerkus, and was called the Three Gods of Death along with the other two gods, Baal and Mirkor.

The inflated desire to control the world led Bane to unite with Mirko to steal the 'Tablet of Destiny' at the end of the Thirteenth Era, directly contributing to the unprecedented catastrophe of the 'Year of Turmoil'.

However, in the 'Year of Turmoil', Bane, who was also relegated to the material continent and incarnated as a sage, broke out a divine war with a good god Tom on the outskirts of the port of Thanres in the Han Land, and finally died together.

After the 'Year of Turmoil' ended, Thom was resurrected.

Two years before the game is set, the Dark King Bane, who has split from his heir, announces his return with his right fist that glows with green fire.

"Bane!!"

On the huge altar made of obsidian, the purple-robed priest let out a final roar, quieting all the believers.

"My lord tells me that Cormier is about to be in turmoil."

"Cecil, the Storm Lord, and Bradley, the Water Elemental Lord, have a big battle in Dragon Lake. The Susar and Mashanbai navies suffered heavy losses, and at least half of the warships could not go to sea. ”

"Then, the marauder pirates on Dragon Lake, it's time to strike." The purple-robed priest's voice was cold, and as he spoke, the believers in the temple all looked at a one-eyed island captain in the front row.

"The believers of Bane don't care about the king of Cormier and what the law is. Cormier is my enemy, I am a harbor pirate, my fleet will bring fire to the coastal area of Cormier, and I hope that this feast of plunder will please my lord. ”

Captain One-Eyed Island lowered his head, a sinister smile on Scar's face, "Now, it's time for my fleet to sail from the Dragon's Shores. ”

"Very well, Bach, Hand of Terror, my lord knows of your piety, please keep your fleet on standby. All we lack now is a key to open the doors of fear and confusion. ”

The cold eyes under the purple-robed priest's mask flickered like ghostly fire.

"Keys?"

There was a commotion among the believers.

"Silence!" The purple-robed priest snorted, turned to stare at a tuxedo-clad noble man closest to the obsidian altar, and said in a deep voice, "Count Silverhorn, you know what I'm talking about. The key to the Temple of the Crown must be found, and then let our most elite thieves steal the Ancient Sword that is contained in the Hall of the Crown. ”

"After the death of Azeon IV and the Demon Dragon, if we can take out this holy sword and sacrifice it as a ritual material, we will definitely allow several legends from the other world to gather under our banner and spread fear in Cormier."

The purple-robed priest's tone was paranoid and fanatical.

There was an uproar among the dark believers standing in front of the obsidian altar. Use Cormier's holy sword to summon otherworldly legendary creatures to descend?

Thinking of that terrible scene, these dark believers did not panic and timid, but instead showed a color of yearning and enjoyment. By that time, Cormier was in the control of their Resurrection Order.

"Your Excellency High Priest, in fact, I have sent a shadow assassin to pursue the priest of the Holy Presence."

The aristocratic middle-aged man who was stared at by all the believers, including the purple-robed priest, smiled unhurriedly and said, "That's an exemplary level shadow killer, with the bloodline of the Shadow Descendant, even the Holy Presence priest whom Karadnay admires very much, will die without the gods knowing. ”

"The Shadow Killer will bring the key back. It only takes a few days. Count Silverhorn affirmed.

"Good."

The purple-robed priest smiled coldly, "It doesn't matter why Karadenai gave the key to the Crown Hall to a Holy Presence. In short, we have to get the keys. ”

"I heard that the orcs in the Northern Storm Horn Mountain Range are ready to move again, the Purple Dragon Legion will definitely be transferred to Arabe, the imperial capital is empty, we must seize this opportunity!"

The Dark Temple of Bane is hidden in the aristocratic quarter of Susar.

No one knew that a midnight prayer was held here. Perhaps the Royal Mage Guild had received information about the flood of dark believers, but I'm afraid that even the legendary Karadnay himself would not believe that there was a temple of evil gods hidden under his nose.

Now that the situation in Cormier is erosive, too many nobles have betrayed the thousand-year-old kingdom, and it can only be said that the dispute between the two legends on Dragon Lake has become the fuse of the chaos.

……

Early morning.

In the field camp between King's Forest and Pterodactyl Lake, three Advent have been launched one after another.

Charles was the first to emerge from the tent and walked over to the still smoking campfire to check on his character's status.

Full health.

There are no negative statuses.

This shows that the quality of the camp is still very good, and it does not make the characters sick. Charles hurriedly looked at his spell slot, trying to memorize the magic spell on the three-ring spell slot.

Sure enough, with a clang, a list of optional three-ring magic tricks appeared on the retina.

"[Blight], [Prayer], [Curse Removal], [Disease Removal], [Severe Wound Heal], [Scorching Radiance], [Wind Wall], [Level 3 Monster Summoning], ......"

Charles browsed through them one by one, and there were about 30 priests' three-ring magic spells, and if some expansion spells were also included, it would be even more, and the dense text descriptions were all big heads.

But that's all there is to a priest who usually has a few magic skills. Now that Xia Er has just reached level six, counting the additional spell slots of the domain position and the perception attribute, he can only record 3 three-ring divine arts.

Choose the Realm Divine Art first.

In the list of divine arts in the field of knowledge, the three-ring divine technique is [Sharp Ear Technique]/[Eagle Eye Technique], and the effect is simply to listen and see farther and more nuanced. The duration of the status is related to the level.

The Three-Ring Divine Technique in the field of war is [Demonized Armor], which allows armor or shields to gain +1 enhancement bonus every 4 levels.

Charles thought about it, and still chose the [Sharp Ear Technique], a three-ring realm divine technique. The peeper last night made him vaguely feel that the crisis was coming, and against the humanoid creatures who were good at stealth, the [Eagle Eye Technique] and the [Demonized Armor] had no effect.

[Eagle Eye] can't see through invisibility. [Demon Armor] plays a role in frontal combat, but in the face of sneak attacks, the effect is not so obvious.

[Sharp Ear Technique] is different, after using it, it is equivalent to having the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish the position, the surging sound of the air flow cannot escape the ears of the Charles, as long as it is not those terrible monsters that can shuttle back and forth between the shadow world and the material world, their movement and attack will inevitably drive the air flow.

Using air currents to sense opponents is sometimes more accurate than seeing with your eyes.

[Sharp Ear Technique] occupies a three-ring divine skill position, and in the other two positions, Charles recorded [Epidemic Technique] and [Scorching Radiance].

"[Blight] (Three Rings): Causes the target to be infected with a random magical disease."

"[Scorching Radiance] (Three Rings): Gather divine energy like rays of sunlight and bombard enemies with holy light. If the target is undead, deal double damage. ”

Two offensive magic spells.

When it comes to the level of the Three Rings, the power is very impressive. In the second ring spell slot, most of the charr memorized the auxiliary and control magic skills, so the third ring spell was about to attack.

There is also the [Guardian of the Faith] power as a protective supplement. Being able to attack, defend, milk, and lose form is Charles' vision of his profession as a priest.

As for the problem of not memorizing healing magic, the priest profession comes with the ability of 'Spell Conversion', which can temporarily convert every magic that has been memorized on the spell slot into a healing magic corresponding to the number of rings. I'm afraid that only a novice priest will be crazy about membracing healing magic in the spell slot.

Actually, there is another attack magic [Dealing Heavy Damage] that is not bad. However, this magic spell must be cast first to fill the weapon with negative energy, and then it will only have an effect when it hits the enemy. Now Charles is very skeptical that he can touch some Gao Min monsters with this magic technique.

A pure priest and not a part-time warrior, and his hit check value is pitifully low. Hits are related to attack bonuses, and if you want to move to melee combat, you must train for a combat specialty.

Charles is also thinking about his future career development. Upgrade to level 6 unused dedicated points, still on the properties panel, waiting for his selection.

There was a noise in the tent.

The second one walked out of the tent, looked around, and asked, "Did that thing leave any traces when we went offline last night?" ”

"Nope." Charles shook his head, his eyes flashed, and said, "After being frightened back by you, that thing should not dare to approach." We're going to find a village or town to stay in tonight, and we can't stay in the wilderness for camping. ”

"What do you feel?" Curious, he stared at the priest. High perception profession, the sixth sense has always been very accurate.

"Something is following us......"

Charles glanced at the forest in the distance, then quickly withdrew his gaze and whispered, "It's in that direction." ”

"Demons?"

Her face tensed, and it seemed that the priest's words had frightened her.

"I don't know, leave it alone." Charles shook his head and looked at the tent, his fingertips quicksand also on the line, and when he walked out of the tent, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling and greeting the priest.
