Degraded War Front.

The warriors charge fearlessly, the mages wield subtle spells, and the mighty of all races have strange tricks in their hands.

Even so, the battle was still not ideal, and the power of the Scourge of Death was particularly prominent on large battlefields.

The number of people killed in battle in just one day exceeded a hundred thousand.

There are strong men of the human race, as well as warriors of other races, who die on the battlefield and take elixirs that make themselves spontaneously combust before they die.

Burn the bodies of the deceased in time to prevent the remains from being controlled by the scourge of the dead.

But Behemoth also has a way to deal with it, it can control magic-savvy monsters, drain air to extinguish the flames, or rain down.

The bodies of the dead did not return home, but were abandoned on the battlefield, destroyed by their own magic and swords.

This scene is particularly weird, the friends do not respect the corpses of their own people, but the natural disaster monsters protect all the way.

But those who truly understand this battle will choose to remain silent.

There is a high probability that they will also become corpses, either burned or chopped up by their own people.

It sounded scary, but not a single person backed down.

They just drank the elixir to raise their body temperature, and the effect of the elixir circulated in the blood, so that the blood circulation of the warriors increased.

Their hearts were thundering, and each of them was excited, raising their swords and hunting bows and charging towards death.

"Kill!!"

……

……

Sleep Town, Adventurer's Guild, President's Room.

Ian took the information from Blanton, the Wise Brother, a member of the Order of Dawn.

An old, gray sheet of paper that has been deliberately thickened and magically reinforced to avoid damage.

It was bent into a roll, untied with strings, and when elongated, the length of the paper was more than four meters.

List of the dead.

It contains records of missing people, fallen heroes, and heroes who perform special missions and are recorded as dead before they are triggered.

A large percentage of quests, by the time they are claimed, the person who performed the task is dead.

That meant that the task was unimaginably arduous and extremely cruel to the performer, but everyone who received the task already knew the details of the task.

Ian received the "Letter of Assignment" from the elder and signed it.

He had to sign it, and it was an opportunity, and the Adventurers' Guild in Eternal Sleep Town had to have a president as well.

The chairman's position was indeed recognized by the sequence system, and he was judged to be the highest level of the "hunter position".

More than just a hunter position......

Just like hunters, adventurers, and scouts, this kind of adventure position belongs to the subordinate position of the "adventure leader".

Ian opens the sequence system to see the Adventure Leader's position information.

[New Position - 'Adventure Leader']

[The person who manages the adventurer's guild in a region is usually promoted by the elite adventurer and has extraordinary strength. 】

[Learnable Skills: President's Bill, Incident Survey.] 】

Both are non-combat skills, but they are very effective.

[Name: President's Bill]

[Source: Civilized Position Authority (Low)]

[Effect: Use the identity of the chairman to finalize a temporary bill (explore resources, explore ruins, and crusade against monsters...... ), which will only take effect within the management region. Limited to one time per week, one is valid for one week. 】

[Cooldown: 7 days]

[Description: The Guild Bill's Bill is a temporary scope modifier, and all guild units within the scope after activation will receive a bill bonus.] 】

This skill is pure power, and it can be seen as doing something that makes everyone work harder.

It can be "mining", everyone will increase their mining efficiency by 50%, and the amount of minerals collected will also be increased by 50%.

It can be "hunting", everyone's combat skills are improved, and it is easier to hunt more monsters.

A variety of bills, some of which are even "exterminate foreign enemies" or "recharge their strength", are all types of optional bills.

There are nearly 500 bills, and Ian can activate one bill per week, and the bonus to the effect of the bill lasts for a week, and the cooldown time is also a week.

This is equivalent to allowing the town of Eternal Sleep, including the nearby area, to be strengthened in a state for an infinite time.

The effect of the "President's Bill" is powerful and wide-ranging, and at the same time, the skill is non-costly, and the buff effect of infinite time is charged.

The second skill, similar to the effect of the bill, but more abstract.

[Name: Event Survey]

[Source: Civilized Position Authority (Low)]

[Effect: Use the identity of the leader to reveal most of the events in the area and increase the progress of ongoing exploration.] Use once every 3 days. 】

[Cooldown: 3 days.] 】

[Description: Similar to the legend of Clairvoyance or Downwind Ear, but more subtle, you can offer to ask for an event to reveal your tracks immediately.] 】

The "Event Survey" skill is biased towards support, and can also be used in management guilds.

For example, there are rumors within the guild that a demon wolf has appeared in the forest outside, and it does not harm people.

If the president has any doubts, he can use the "Incident Survey" to reveal whether this piece of information is true or not, and get all the details.

Any area in the town of Eternal Sleep will be affected by the ability of the "President".

Extremely abstract, but extremely effective, skills that Ian couldn't help but look at.

Ian wanted to test the effects of these two skills.

First of all......

【President's Bill: Strength Enhancement】

[Effect: All attributes are increased by 25%, and an additional 20% experience points are gained when killing monsters, and the amount of loot is increased by 1.5 times.] 】

[In effect, duration: 7 days]

Ian immediately felt the change in himself, he opened the player information, and the attribute value increased in an instant, and the overall increase was 25%.

The reinforcement brought by strength is like making a disabled person abandon his crutches, and a myopic person can have bright eyes and live a normal life without taking off his glasses.

Ian was satisfied: "It's really strong. ”

Blanton lowered his head and looked at his palm: "Just now...... I feel like I'm being strengthened? ”

It is the management ability that comes with the position of president, unlike the verbal promise of Blue Star, the position of president can definitely enhance the strength of others.

At the same time, each person has a different ability when they have a "president".

For example, through the farewell letter left by the elder, Ian learns that the elder's ability is biased towards "forging".

Being able to strengthen everyone in the area, and being able to choose from nearly 500 bills, is Ian's own talent.

For the others, for the first time, they felt the changes brought about by the chairman's position, and the combat ability of the entire Changmian Town could be said to have directly improved a lot!

The "President's Bill" entered the 7th cooldown, and Ian released "Event Survey" again.

【Ding! Events within the town of Eternal Sleep have been unlocked, please use "In-Depth Investigation" to get more information. 】

When the skill is released, there are no special effects, as if it is useless.

But soon, there was a knock on the door of the president's room.

Blanton opened the door, revealing a scout with green leaves and dew in his hair.

Scouts are exploration positions that work primarily in the area of exploration intelligence.

"President! We found something fantastic. ”

After he finished speaking, Ian and Blanton looked at each other and went to the place where the incident had taken place.

The war on the front line took away ninety percent of the combat effectiveness of Changmian Town, and the rest were civilian or high-ranking people.

Of course, Ian is the only one in the current high position.

The exploration of Eternal Sleep cannot be left behind, there is already an anchor here, and it is likely that the former civilization also left a facility similar to the "Annihilation Battery" here.

That's what Ian thought, and after using Event Survey, the scout immediately uncovered a ruin.

Buried hundreds of meters underground, it covers an area about the size of nearly 50 football venues.

Ian and Brand arrived at the ruins, where a dozen explorers stood in the doorway, all bowing to Ian.

Ian had already relayed the Elder's decision to the others, and it didn't make too many waves.

"Gatekeeper!"

A group of grass elves were also there, and they ran to Ian's vicinity, and some of the grass elves were eating some strawberry fruit in their mouths.

How they haven't left yet.

Ian didn't know much about it, the grass elves came to Sleep Town this time, and the goal was to cut down the Luna Tree, but it had been a week since the Luna Tree fell.

The Grass Elves know how to teleport magic, and they can leave as soon as they want to, but they are still in Sleep Town.

"We've found something weird!"

A grass elf points to an ancient ruin with an open door.

"It seems to be the smell of the race, and there is another very familiar smell, and humans!"

"Uh...... But the taste is very light, and it seems that no one has been here for a long time. ”

"We were planning to leave, but we were suddenly drawn to this place, and we wanted to go in and investigate."

The grass elves, you and I, are very logical for Ian to understand the current situation.

An ancient ruin buried deep in the ground was inadvertently discovered by the grass elves and relayed to the adventurer leader, who was him.

There is a large number of racial scents within the ruins, and it is not a single race, which includes grass elves, as well as humans and other races.

"Have we found survivors of a pre-civilization?"

Ian asked.

The grass elf shook his head and gave a negative answer: "There is no breath of life, and the taste has become very light." ”

It seems that I can only go in and have a look.

If important information can be found, perhaps the progress of the fight against natural disasters can be greatly improved.

The "Event Survey" skill made this ruin, which was buried hundreds of meters underground, easily exposed to everyone's eyes.

The exploration of it began on the same day.

Ian, Blanton, and the Grass Elves also went inside to take a look, but didn't get any valid clues.

It's empty...... In the real sense of the word, there is only one architectural framework, similar to the store that has just opened the door of Blue Star.

Whether it's guarding the fort, or some miscellaneous facilities, there is not even a wardrobe and a bed!

Blanton walked around the ruins for a long time, but didn't find anything, and his brow furrowed:

"Could it be that this place is empty in the first place? But this emptiness is too unconvincing. ”

"Indeed."

Ian uses the Dream Nail to read the dream language of the ancient ruins.

He opened his hand, white light condensing in his hand, charging for 2.4 seconds before attacking the steel wall.

Bite!

Others have also seen Ian use the Dream Spike, believing it to be Ian's "Ancient Gatekeeper" ability, and have not speculated too much.

The dream language of the ancient ruins is revealed by the Dream Spike.

"Now the world is sinking...... Current depth - 69 layers...... Keep sinking......

"The buoy project is ready...... Did you inform the Ascension Faction to prepare ......?'

"They're gone."

"We're getting started, Eva, and hopefully the plan goes well."

"Hoping that the plan will go well, we swear that life is supreme and that life will continue even if everything is destroyed. Long live us.'"

The dream language of the Ascension.

After experiencing the ritual knowledge of the "Degraded Sect", Ian has already marked the "Ascension System" as a focus.

But I didn't expect to use the event for the first time to reveal that other factions were found near Changmian Town?

Moreover, this faction called the "Ascension Faction" is most likely to belong to the Survivor faction.

Ian thinks so, after all, the word ascension is mostly used to improve oneself, and some people in the former civilization are likely to be elevated.

But...... This is only speculation until there is a definite proof of discovery.

Even if he finds people from the previous civilization, Ian must first determine how they relate to the current civilization.

Civilization has passed so long that history can only be obtained by excavating ruins.

Just like the relationship between the blue star and the Jurassic, some information about dinosaurs comes from dinosaur fossils.

The clerk who explored the ancient ruins came and reported to Ian:

"President, the ruins are empty, there is nothing."

The grass elves also flew over: "Yes, yes! There was nothing, there was even a layer of dust, and the walls were corroded so that the air was poisonous! ”

They are grass spirits, even a little air pollution can be smelled with their nose, and they are naturally more sensitive to toxic substances.

"It's normal, it's an enclosed space after all."

Ian wasn't too surprised, he issued an order: "Fence this place first, and we'll re-investigate when the war is over." ”

There must be information, the ruins are empty, and Ian is reminded of the ruins of the first anchor dungeon.

The ruins near the anchor point, far more important than the others, are empty inside, which is an anomaly in itself.

Not only here, but the anchor dungeon, the remnant in the Black Carbon Rift Valley, also needs to be contained.

Ian organized the clerical staff of Sleep Town and created a new mission team, named "Archaeology Team 1".

There are currently about 700 writers and writers in the team, and their main task is to excavate ancient ruins.

Not only the resources and facilities in the ruins, but also all the murals.

Even if it's an unknown graffiti, it needs to be recorded and organized into effective intelligence.

The clerk is exploring the ruins, and Ian returns to the Guild of Eternal Sleep.

Blanton asks:

"President, does the fact that our degrading ceremony can expel natural disasters, does that mean that as long as we win, we will be safe from now on?"

He knew that the effect of the ritual was temporary, but he asked what he meant by "Can we rely on the demotion ritual and drive it out every time a natural disaster ravages?"

Ian thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is a high probability that it will not work, the natural disaster has fully possessed the 'resistance to the rules', and the magic ritual based on the underlying rules of the elements will be completely invalid sooner or later." ”

Ask for a follow-up and ask for a monthly pass!
