CHAPTER XIV
In the old and slightly dilapidated castle, the group moved cautiously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They formed a long, narrow formation, with the knight at the front, the warrior about three paces behind him, and the mage about three paces behind. Moving on, there are priests and rangers.
This formation is extremely defense-oriented, not to mention the knights and warriors in front, the rangers and priests in the back react quickly, and the other is also wearing armor, even if they encounter an attack, they can withstand it for a while, and protect the mage in the middle very well.
Yu herself didn't feel the need for such protection, and although the mage herself lacked sufficient training, her combat experience could make up for her lack of physical force, and even if she was attacked by an evil spirit, she would not really be helpless and ready to die.
But she did not refuse the kindness of her companions, on the contrary, she was happy.
A team that cares about each other, if not strong enough, is at least warm enough.
The five men moved against the wall, walking very slowly, stopping from time to time to take a closer look. Under Yui's reminder, the priest was very cautious about using the clergy's innate sense and his own relative energy ability to avoid being attacked by the spirit of the evil spirits. Without this vantage point, they would have to use their eyes and ears more to look for clues from their surroundings.
Soldiers would tear off the curtain that covered each window, which meant that the owner of the castle would have to spend a small amount of money to repair it, but the light that could be obtained by removing the curtain was more important to them than the trouble it might cause to the owner of the castle who did not know where.
Sui Xiong silently watched their actions and nodded slightly.
The expedition team had broken into the castle without preparation, and they searched all the way, but they found no clues, but they were unwittingly marked by evil spirits, and at night they stayed in the guest rooms on the second floor of the castle, and were attacked by evil spirits, and they were almost wiped out.
The current adventure team, in terms of strength, has not changed much from the original team - after all, it is the same five people, but with Yue's preparation and command, the combat effectiveness of the entire team has been greatly improved. If nothing else, at least this afternoon, the evil spirits should not dare to attack them.
Wait until tomorrow, Yui can prepare even more, and then the evil spirits will be at a greater disadvantage.
But then he frowned, because he clearly saw that the evil spirit lurking on the upper floor of the ancient castle actually revealed the intention of attacking, and ...... As it showed its intention to attack, the aura on its body began to slowly increase.
"Strange! How can this be?"
Sui Xiong muttered to himself in wonder, he was sure that he hadn't done anything, so why would this evil spirit attack in broad daylight when it was clearly at a loss?
Daylight is not a good time for evil spirits to fight. If you have to fight during the day, you should be weakened, but how can you become stronger?
Puzzled in his heart, he hurriedly used his divine power to check the detailed setting of this world, and finally found out the reason - the overall layout of this world came from the believer's memories of the original adventure. In the believer's memory, the evil spirit was a fierce and dangerous enemy. Therefore, when faced with an increasingly unfavorable situation, the evil spirit made corresponding changes according to the believer's impression.
The reason why it suddenly became stronger is because of the same reason.
Though...... This change is actually very unreasonable, and it does not conform to the common style of evil spirits in reality.
After figuring out the reason, Sui Xiong nodded slightly, with some emotion in his heart.
What kind of enemy is the most powerful? The enemy that is feared by the people is the most powerful. Because "fear" weakens people's power and creates the impression that the enemy is strong and difficult to defeat.
In a materialistic world like Earth, this is not too significant, but in this idealistic world, consciousness itself is part of the power, and people's fears naturally turn into part of the villain's power, making them stronger.
For example, in the case of this evil spirit, the believer's fear gives it great power, beyond its own strength.
He frowned, and used his divine power to redefine the setting of this world.
The aura of the evil spirit hiding in the shadows and revealing its hideous face, staring at Yui viciously, suddenly weakened,
"Fairness, fairness first. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "I'm not the evil Lord God Great Light Ball, and the adventurers' own fighting is definitely not a reason to increase the difficulty." β
Of course, Yui and the others didn't know what was going on in the shadows. They took some time to circle around the hall on the ground floor of the castle, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, they cautiously made their way up the stairs to the second floor.
He had not gone far when the priest suddenly frowned and said aloud, "Do you hear the woman's cry?"
Everyone stopped and listened.
After a while, the ranger replied, "No, but I'm slightly uneasy, maybe the enemy is launching a mental attack." β
"I don't feel it at all. The warrior grinned, "Are you mistaken?"
The knight did not rush to conclusions, and looked at Yui, waiting for her judgment.
Before he knew it, he had come to regard this mage, who was probably the weakest in the team, as a wise leader, just like some armies would let civilian officials lead the troops - as long as the mind was good enough, his own force value did not matter.
Yui didn't disappoint him, and listened intently for a momentβor rather, for a moment, she nodded, and came to a conclusion.
"I don't know why, but the evil spirit wants to fight us in broad daylight. She laughed and said, "Honestly, I've never seen such a stupid evil spirit in a book." β
"Is daytime bad for it?" asked the warrior.
"Of course, during the day, the sun will shine strong positive energy, and any necromantic monsters will be affected and weakened. Yoe smiled and said, "If we could get the sun on it, maybe it would be destroyed without us having to do anything." β
"That's great!" the warrior rejoiced, "what are we going to do next?"
Yui was stunned for a moment, a little unable to keep up with his out-of-the-box thinking, and thought for a moment before saying, "Ignore the crying and act according to our own plan." β
"Huh, ignore the crying?" the priest was a little surprised, "didn't that give it enough time to set it up?"
Yuy smiled and explained, "Speaking of time, it's been in the castle for so long, and it's already had enough time to set up whatever it wants. Most of the cries now are meant to lure us to dangerous places - most likely, traps. β
"In that case, shouldn't we avoid the cry?" asked the knight.
"Theoretically true, but ...... I don't know what the evil spirit thinks. If it is more intelligent, what if it plays the real and the false, the false and the real? Maybe the direction of the cry is the safest. β
The warrior's eyes were a little glazed, and he asked in distress, "What should I do then?"
"So my advice is, leave it alone. Yui smiled confidently, "As long as we get the rhythm right and follow the plan we've got ready, that's the best way to deal with it!" )
