"The hidden profession of 'Dark Clergy' is a bit weird."

Li Nuo felt that he had underestimated the dangers of leaking the game's source code.

It's clear that the Cult of the Dark Protos doesn't just pollute the player's character, it also extends its claws to the player's body, soul, or anything else in reality.

Based on Lino's knowledge of the Plane Core, the player is not a human in the true sense of the word.

The core of each plane has the power to nurture souls.

As the mastermind behind the game "Star Ocean", the core of the "Command" plane does not need to actually find a planet and spread the game helmet on it.

It only needs to pinch the soul into the appearance of the player in its own dimensional space, and build a good life and work scene for them, and then it can create a human soul who likes to play games.

In this sense, the player's body is polluted by the Dark Descent, which means that the core of the "Command" plane is eroded by the Dark Descent.

It's definitely a big deal.

If the erosion continues, the core of the Command Plane will cease to exist, and players will become lackeys of the Cult of the Dark Prostoon.

"On the quest I received earlier, there was a sign that the game was being repaired. This shows that the core of the Command plane is aware of the problem. I can only put my hope in the core of the Command plane now, and only it has the means to clean up the Dark Godspawn Cult. ”

Leno thought about acting.

Before he set off for the Angel Business Consortium, he had to arrange the academy first.

Players who join the academy are now in the wizard apprentice stage.

By completing daily, weekly, and side tasks, they earn credit.

Credits can be redeemed for The Witcher's preschool courses and textbooks.

According to the plan of the Unas Ring to train wizards, Li Nuo made "Magic Herbs", "Monsters" and "General Knowledge of Magic" compulsory courses in the preschool stage.

You only need to learn a little bit to complete the content of these three courses, and it will not cost the player many brain cells.

When the player's credits reach 10,000 points, they can be redeemed for the opportunity to be promoted to the first ring of wizards.

The content of the exam is also very simple.

A paper with a full score of 100 points only needs to reach 30 points to pass, which can be said to be given away for free.

In addition, it is also necessary to help Li Nuo hunt enough artificial angels.

After completing the content of this two exams, players will be able to exchange credits for meditation methods and spells, and officially start a new class.

In order to ensure that the affairs of the academy were in order during his departure from the academy, Li Nuo deliberately spent a lot of energy and time to summon a magic puppet with a relatively high level of intelligence.

It was a group of elves whose height and proportions were similar to those of humans.

With pointed ears, big eyes, fair skin, tall figure, and wearing magic robes, he has both temperament and eye-catching, and can definitely catch the player's gaze.

This group of elves has been assigned the role of instructor, mentor, and professor by Li Nuo, who will be responsible for guiding players through standardized exams and the First Ring Wizarding stage.

Due to Li Nuo's restriction on the daily dosage of the god-nourishing potion, no matter how much the kryptonite bosses were, it would take them two months to be promoted.

Therefore, in a short period of time, such a group of elf teachers will definitely be enough, and there will be no shortage of personnel.

A day later, everything was arranged, and Li Nuo stepped on the shuttle ship of the Unification Bureau in the form of the main body.

Two days later, the Star Gate will be open to players, but at this time, Li Nuo can already go to the Angel Enterprise Consortium first.

This is one of the agreements reached between Li Nuo and the Integrated Bureau.

The shuttle ship carries Lino from the deep space where the black hole is located and arrives at the gate of the Lisom system.

In order to better manage space traffic, the galaxy's gate is only connected to the gate of the star field to which it belongs.

After a moment's wait, the huge ring-shaped stargate flashed brightly.

The light shrouded the shuttle ship in it.

A second later, Li Nuo arrived at the stargate of the Kreda Star Field.

After waiting for another minute, the similar-looking stargate picked up the shuttle with a bright light.

The jump lasted about five minutes.

During this time, Lino traveled from the Cloister where the Lisom system is located to the constellation Candle, which is closest to the Angel Business Complex.

When the shuttle ship broke out of the jump channel, what appeared in front of him was an extremely well-guarded dilapidated stargate.

The stargate resembles the palm of a five-fingered open hand, and its iron-gray metal shell is covered with patches and welding strips.

Around it, there are many space watchtowers hovering around, and there are countless standard battleships of the Security Guard of the United Bureau, as if they are facing a great enemy.

"Whew-"

On the control console of the shuttle ship, a holographic screen was projected and floated in front of Li Nuo.

The holographic screen features the avatar of Doris, the negotiator.

She said:

"Your Excellency, you have arrived at the Hakapuk Star Gate. This stargate was left over from the last large-scale invasion of the Unification Bureau by the Angel Business Consortium. It's now closed. We'll launch it only when you're ready. ”

At this time, Li Nuo was dressed as a wizard wearing purple and black magic robes, a hood and a mask.

He said:

"I'm ready to go. Has it always been so heavily guarded? ”

"Not really. In the past, there was only one permanent security guard. After confirming that the portal would be opened for a long time and that the undead would be allowed to enter and exit the Angel Enterprise Complex, the Unification Bureau mobilized five security guards to deal with a possible artificial angel invasion. ”

As Doris spoke, she pressed a few buttons on the console in front of her:

"The star gate will be warmed up in 15 minutes. After the warm-up is completed, it is necessary to wait 3 minutes for the recharge. We have arranged for a fleet of clones to escort you into the Stargate. If the destination of the stargate jump is off, the fleet will bring you back here to re-jump. The probability of the wrong destination of the jump is about 2%, which is something that cannot be avoided, after all, this is the stargate of the Angel Business Consortium, not ours, I hope you can understand. ”

Li Nuo nodded, expressed understanding, and sighed casually:

"The undead don't have to worry about dying unexpectedly because of the deviation of the jump destination, which is enviable."

"Well, that's right, it's good that the Unification Bureau has clone pilots, which are comparable to the undead to a certain extent." Doris said with a smile.

The stargate of the palm appearance changes.

A long, slender strip of light that lit up on the stargate.

There are also countless star-like sparkles on both sides of the glowing bar.

In less than 10 minutes, the originally gray Star Gate turned into a palm with a shiny gem glove, and the whole body emitted a pearlescent dazzling light.

Lenovo's shuttle moved slowly, merging into a fleet of clones, and stopping at the palm of his hand with the opposing ship.

Bright light started from the palm of the palm and spread to the five fingers.

Each of the five fingers shot out a pillar of light in the direction of the fleet.

Five pillars of light converged to form a bright cluster of light that enveloped the entire fleet.

Li Nuo only felt that the outside of the ship was white, and there were manic and dangerous energy fluctuations everywhere.

After this state lasted for nearly ten seconds, Li Nuo's body was light, his sense of weightlessness doubled, and he followed the fleet into the jump channel.

This time the transition process can be described as long.

Colorful flecks of light streaked through the jump channel, the ship trembled slightly in the energy surge, and the hands on the console dashboard swayed from side to side.

A full 10 minutes passed, and the shuttle left the jump channel.

Looking around, Li Nuo saw a strange starry sky with a dark green background through the ship's optical observation window.

"Rub-"

The holographic screen jumped out, and on the screen was a captain of the United Bureau with three-dimensional facial features, who was none other than Layton.

A clone of Captain Layton, to be exact.

"Your Excellency, the transition was successful. We've arrived at the edge galaxy of the Angel Business Consortium. It was named the Mertori System by the Unification Bureau. Our stealth battleships are shielding us from the radars and detectors of the Angel Enterprise Complex. After 3 minutes, the fleet will return home. Please be prepared to leave the invisible state. ”

Li Nuo chin slightly, stood up, pulled the mechanical switch of the shuttle, and opened the hatch manually.

The moment he left the cabin, his body quickly transformed into a transparent phantom and disappeared completely, leaving Captain Layton with a stunned expression.

"The magic is incredible... That's how he went into outer space. ”

On the holographic screen, Layton looked sideways at the crew beside him:

"Sergeant, can our detection equipment detect that guest?"

"Report, undetectable. We didn't find any human traces around. ”

Layton glanced at the slowly closing shuttle hatch, cutting off communications.

3 minutes later, the fleet, under the cover provided by the stealth battleships, collectively launched the jump engine and entered the jump channel.

Without the help of the Stargate, it would have taken them at least 1 hour to reach the territory of the Unification Bureau.

Stealth battleships can help suppress abnormal fluctuations in space signals caused by jumps, but the effect is limited.

At the moment when the stealth battleship entered the jump channel, the unbound space signal fluctuated abnormally, inevitably spreading in all directions.

Within 10 minutes of the entire fleet jumping away, several spots of light visible to the naked eye moved towards the direction where the fleet had been located.

As the distance drew closer, the outline of the point of light became clear, and it was five giant human creatures as tall as mountain peaks.

They have white wings with thick stems and dense branches, and long tail flames shoot out from the tail of the wings, propelling them forward at high speed.

Milky white metal armor shields their bodies, and holy white firearms make them majestic.

Their faces are expressionless, their pupils are like crystals made of glass spheres, and they don't have the slightest mood swing.

These are five artificial angels that belong to the Guardian Angel Group.

Judging by their appearance, armor, and guns, they are supposed to be Warrior Seat Gun Fighter Angels, capable of maneuvering in space at high speeds to attack enemies with laser rays.

A team of five Warrior Seat Spear Fighter Angels, it is a standardized patrol unit of the Guardian Angel Group.

After sensing the appearance of an unfamiliar anomalous space signal in space, they immediately rushed here to detect the remaining space signal in all directions.

Five artificial angels hover in five directions, forming a circle.

Together, they cast a glow, using a bulging white spherical light curtain to enclose the remaining spatial signals.

After a few minutes of maintaining this action, they appeared to analyze the results from the space signal, and turned and flew towards a celestial body in the dark green cosmic background.

None of the artificial angels noticed that a completely transparent figure had blended into their ranks.

The universe is unimaginable.

Even with the information provided by the Integrated Bureau, it was difficult for Li Nuo to accurately locate the specific location of the target in an unfamiliar area.

He decisively took advantage of the jump fluctuations of the Unification Bureau's fleet, and waited for the artificial angels who came to investigate.

Now, he's taping to the back of one of the artificial angels, following them to the next stop.

The "Veil of Otherworldhood" became a barrier for Li Nuo to avoid being discovered by artificial angels.

There was information about the artificial angel in his mind, and Li Nuo moved towards the artificial angel's head little by little according to the content of the information.

The back of the artificial angel is as wide as a football field, and its head is more like a large round ball of the observatory.

Li Nuo stayed at the back of the artificial angel's head, penetrating the other party's shell with his spiritual power, carefully sensing the situation inside the skull.

"Hmm... It's exactly what it says. The head of an artificial angel is equivalent to the cockpit of a normal warship. I sensed two pilots soaked in tissue fluid..."

Li Nuo pondered for a moment, feeling carefully.

A picture appeared in his mind.

The two pilots were dressed in tights, with their eyes closed, and respirators in their mouths, and their whole bodies were soaked in yellow-green artificial angel tissue fluid.

They have silvery-white tubing at the back of their heads.

The other end of the line extends into the artificial angel's muscles, connecting to the artificial angel's nerve center.

Li Nuo nodded slightly:

"That's right, the two pilots used neural connections to control the artificial angels. This mode of operation requires a very high level of mental synchronization between the two pilots. ”

There is a saying about the quality of the pilots:

Third-rate pilots rely on AI, second-rate pilots fight brain chips, and first-rate pilots control nerve impulses.

Players rely on krypton and can barely squeeze into the second-rate level.

However, a first-class existence like an artificial angel pilot will remain an unattainable existence for players for at least two years.

For no other reason, relying on neural connections to control a ship is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and life-consuming skill in itself.

Third- and second-rate pilots can rely on clones to extend their lives, while first-class pilots cannot, not only have an average lifespan of only 30 years, but they are also unable to use clones to extend their lives.

This is because, once the mind is switched to the clone, the pilot has to re-adapt to the ship in order to achieve a smooth neural connection, which is an arduous process that has lasted for more than ten years.

First-class pilots, coupled with large-caliber pulse-type shipborne laser cannons and cruising speeds in outer space with speeds of up to 3,000 meters per second, the combat effectiveness of the artificial angels is unquestionable.

Li Nuo didn't intend to go head-to-head with these powerful artificial creatures.

He just wants to use the ship flow of the Angel Enterprise Complex as a springboard to get close to the Brain Controller that seals and assassinate the Angels as soon as possible, and when the plan to destroy the Master Brain Controller is determined, he will immediately guide the player to help.
