Chapter 705: Surrender
"Our three guilds, each with a thousand people, is it too much fanfare?"
The female president, Yuffe, frowned slightly.
According to accurate information, the strength of the Dark Castle is only about 1,000 people, and now that the average level of the player has risen, it may not be weaker than the regular army soldiers of the Dark Castle alone.
And the flying cavalry legion of the Dark Castle, facing the mage regiment of the Rock Collar is mostly a living target.
"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength." Charles smiled and said, "This is the first large-scale military event of the Rock Territory, it was huge in advance and perfect triumph afterwards, so that the reputation of the Rock Territory can deter many player guilds and aboriginal forces." β
"You." Yuffie shook his head, "It's better to be simple, war is war!" β
"Isn't it good to have too many birds in one fell swoop?" "I also plan to let the men and horses of your three guilds sweep around the distant mountains and the Sunset Mountains after dealing with the Santarin Legion in the Dark Fortress, and wipe out all the monsters that may threaten the construction of the territory." β
"That's fine."
The content of the meeting was relatively simple, and everyone continued to discuss the details before adjourning.
Qian Fan and Ren Qingwu were long gone, and Charles left the municipal building to return to his temple.
"Priest!"
"Lord Priest!"
Bloomer had recently openly recruited a group of male and female apprentices within the realm, and all the way into the temple, the young and female apprentices he met along the way, led by the older apprentices, stopped to get out of the way and bowed their heads to the Charles.
In the atrium of the temple, Charles strolls down the corridors. Glancing casually towards the garden, he was slightly stunned.
Through some flowers and plants, he saw that Bloomer was receiving a group of foreign professionals. These people are either down-and-out or glamorous, but the NPC professionals are respectful and cautious when it comes to Bloomer.
"Leave." Bloomer said lightly to the group, and in the end only two people remained, a female cleric, dressed in silver armor. Just looking at the back gives Charles a heroic feeling.
The other person is more down, with a somewhat rickety back, but he is definitely not very old.
Charles walked over. Bloomer and the two NPCs who stayed behind looked at it.
The young female cleric looked at him with beautiful eyes, her blue eyes were clear, and at the same time there was a color of insight, and any disguise seemed to be exposed in front of her.
"Hello. Priest of the Shire. The female clergy bowed their heads and bowed. Just by looking at her meticulous and almost textbook standard gestures in her salute, you can tell the character of this NPC.
Rigorous, serious.
"You are?" Charles cast an inquiring gaze.
Bloomer replied on behalf of the female priest, and said with a smile, "Priest Charr, this is Miss Helen Seltermair, she is from the port trading city of Prokamp on the eastern shore of the Dragon Bay, and she is also a devout Ogmar believer. β
"From Procamp?"
Hearing the name of the city, Charles frowned keenly. At the same time, he stared at Helen Seltaire, and there was a look of interest in his eyes.
Young female clergymen wear chain mail that facilitates movement. Without a helmet, her long blue hair as blue as the sea fell down, and with a pair of blue eyes of the same color, her temperament was as deep and charming as the ocean.
"Sertel?"
Another taciturn NPC next to him raised his head when he heard the words, and under his messy and unrepaired hair, he was actually the face of a middle-aged man, but his facial features were resolute, and the beard on his lips and under his chin gave him a unique charm of a mature man.
"If I remember correctly, Sertel, it's the hereditary lord family of Prokamp, right?" A faint sneer appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, "Another child of a noble family, it seems that even the temple that has just been built by the Holy Presence Divine Favor can only be controlled by a noble-born believer." β
After that, the middle-aged man dragged his slightly rickety body and turned around and left.
"Waitβ" Charles put a hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder, and then he noticed that the middle-aged man was so weak that he didn't look like a professional at all.
"You're not quite right." Charles looked at him deeply, "Is it illness or curse?" β
There were almost no ups and downs in the plain words, but when the middle-aged man heard it, the feeling of being maintained and concerned made him like a deflated balloon, and his body was even more rickety, and he was even trembling slightly, "It's a disease, and it's a curse!" β
Charles nodded, looking at Bloomer.
The half-heroic priest replied unhurriedly, "Priest Charr, he is a polymath who believes in Ogmar and a heroic mage who has fallen into the realm. β
"Ph.D.?" Charles looked at the middle-aged man with a down-and-out face and a vicissitudes of life, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for him.
The Master can get mixed up to this point, I really don't know what trouble he has encountered.
"He's a chaotic neutral mage!" At this time, the female priest Helen interjected, looking at the middle-aged man with insightful eyes, "Moreover, in him, I see an extremely evil power that cannot be dispelled. β
Helen's eyes were incomparably bright, like a pair of sapphires, as if she had activated some kind of professional ability.
"Stay in the Rock Territory, and the Temple of Ogmar will shelter you if you wish." Charles was not afraid of trouble now, and besides, a polydoc from Ogmar deserved his favor.
"Thank you, thank you......" The middle-aged man lowered his head, his voice trembling and choking, the hero could be forced into such a desperate situation, there was no one, Charles was curious about the trouble he had provoked.
Leaving Helen aside for the time being, Charles had already roughly guessed the advanced profession of this female cleric, and his hand was still on the middle-aged man's shoulder, but this would activate the detection magic technique - [Detect Evil]!
A faint golden light appeared in his palm, and he closed his eyes.
First, three amber teardrops faintly appeared in Charles's perceptual world.
Then a purple triangular background framed three teardrops inside, and gradually, the pattern became clearer, and Charles couldn't help but hold his breath and his heart vibrate. "It's Talona's emblem!"
Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.
Bang.
Suddenly. In a crisp sound, the evil emblem pattern shattered and disappeared, and the voice of an old woman, full of disdain and disdain, reached Charles's ears:
ββ¦β¦ Another clergyman who does not know whether he is alive or dead, watching the power of the gods...... Hehehehehe......"
With the sound, a haggard old woman appeared with a black cane in her hand.
Her face was covered in various religious tattoos, and black rays representing negative energy were constantly escaping from her.
Just as the woman's wicked, cloudy eyes shone brightly. When a huge vortex suction force was generated, causing Charles's heart to be shocked and unable to get out, the other three divine lights suddenly split through the chaos. Landing in the world of his consciousness.
"Nightglow!"
"Ogma!"
"Mystra!"
The light of immortality, the light of knowledge, and the light of the arcane god wrapped Charr's consciousness tightly, and the emaciated old woman screamed, and immediately flew backwards, stumbling out of the world of Shire's consciousness.
Charles opened his eyes again. Three halos of different colors lit up at the back of his head. There is the eternity and coldness of the immortal god Night Shine, the wisdom and depth of Ogmar, and the mystery and nobility of Mystra, the temperament of different gods is mixed in him, and the Helen, Bloomer and middle-aged people next to him are all petrified.
"My lord......" Bloomer knelt down first, reverently calling Ogma's name. He thought it was the God of Knowledge who had appeared.
Helen looked at Charles with a calm and perceptive gaze.
However, if you pay close attention, it is not difficult to see the excitement and fanaticism in her eyes.
The middle-aged man was directly stunned.
Ogma is true of his faith. But as a mage, he is the steward of the magic web. Mystra, the goddess of magic, also maintained a certain amount of respect.
Now that the blessings of the two gods appeared on Charles at the same time, the middle-aged man was completely stunned.
After Charles exited the illusion, he always felt that something had changed in his body.
The upgrade progress of 'Devout Prayer' lv4 is 35.77%, an increase of about 2%.
The property remains unchanged.
Skills and expertise remain the same.
However, Charles soon found another area where something had changed.
"Divinity: 5 (thin)."
"Passive Effects: You can be like a stone, immune to most of the effects of confusion and illusion spells released by magic items and traps, but you will still be controlled by skilled spellcasters."
"Active Effect: No [Inactive]."
The divinity value has been quietly increased by 1 point from the original 4 points.
Charles hurriedly opened his system information bar to check.
γβ¦β¦ Interfered with by an unknown evil force...... The player is in an unknown space...... You defeated your opponent ......]
[Experience points increased.] γ
[Divinity +1.] γ
Combat information is also relatively simple.
Unknown space? Charles's heart trembled when he thought of what he had just seen.
Damn, you can't be connected to Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and dragged to some world of consciousness by her, right? Charles thought about it, and always felt that the world seemed real and fake, like a dream, but the system clearly gave a reward, which means that if he failed to resist the power of Talona in the dream world, the end would be no better than the down-and-out Bo Bachelor.
The aboriginal hero mage has accumulated and has a heritage, but in the end he is still facing a desperate situation.
And if it is replaced by a player, it is estimated that deleting the number and retraining is the way to get rid of it.
"Either way, the experience points and divinity points are real!"
After thinking about it and putting aside the fear in his heart, when Charles looked at the middle-aged mage beside him again, his eyes were naked and wanted to eat people.
A proper mobile experience bank!
ββ¦β¦ You offended Talona? Charles spoke, and the tricolor aura vanished behind his head.
"Yes." The middle-aged mage's face was full of bitterness and resentment, "My hometown is in the south, the country of mages, Harua, I have my own simple mage tower, and shelter several small villages, the villagers give me tribute and goods every year, and I will also select well-qualified boys and girls among them, and bring them into the mage tower......"
"However, on a night of lightning and thunder, a wandering priest of Talona arrived by boat from the foreign land of Dambreth, and the next day, terrible diseases and plagues spread in my mage territory, killing everyone, including my twelve apprentices, and spreading the plague to other mage lands...... (To be continued.) )
