The city of Nibla is located 300 kilometers east of the Green Leaf Garden.

It is called the Foggy Valley because of its proximity to Lake Nibla and its perennial mist in the valley.

The three major forests are sparsely populated, and the elves do not like to huddle, preferring to be alone.

As a result, there aren't many settlements in the entire Whispering Forest that can be called "cities", except for a few villages that huddle together to defend against wild beasts and bandits.

Among them, the city of Nibra in the Foggy Hollow is barely a large settlement.

For the past two months, Hall, Garrat, Elian, and two deceased paladins have traveled from the plains of Luku together.

They crossed the two forests straight through them, like devout ascetics, and even the Void Calamity could not stop them.

This is also part of the paladin's practice.

Although no longer used by most people, as Gawain's followers, their beliefs are extremely devout and strong.

If there were no surprises, they would have arrived a week ago.

Although the strange beasts along the way are strong and pervasive, if they are not a boss of the level of Alpha or the Lair Leader of the Blighted Scarf, they will not be able to interfere with the steely will of the five paladins at all.

However, they meet an unexpected person during a short break in the city of Nebra.

Collins.

At that time, Collins had just been separated from his good brother "Gray the Necromancer", and went straight to the ashes front in the northeast with a thirst for revenge.

As a coincidence, he bumped into several people who had come to collect the relics for Gawain.

At this time, he lost most of his equipment and props, and he could no longer completely hide his identity as a necromancer, and when he encountered such five holy knights with noses more than dogs, the two sides were thunderous and angry, and they fought directly.

If this is placed in normal times, this must be a crushing game.

But what the five didn't expect was that in order to raise supplies to go to the ashes front, Collins took in some necromancer apprentices in the local area in just a few days.

Despite their belief in nature and wind, the elves are resistant to necromancy, as well as harsh heresies.

But no one is not afraid of strange beasts.

And in this regard, necromancers have a unique advantage.

Strange beasts are certainly distorted, but the spirits of the underworld are not distorted?

This is just like the immunity of the third brother who was trained by the water of the Ganges, which has been tested for a long time, and the general virus may not help them.

Taking advantage of the weaknesses of human nature is a necromancer's forte, not to mention that he has been a mage for many years and knows how to package his spells.

He focused his teaching on a few simple soul protection spells, without involving death qi, so he trained a group of apprentices without attracting the attention of the locals.

When the paladin struck at him, he immediately pushed the men out.

Although these poor people can't even summon a single geist, they can only open the Pupil of the Dead and some simple soul spells.

But in the eyes of the will of the Light, necromancers deserve to die.

As a result, the five of them treated these civilians equally, and did not let them go in the slightest because of the weakness of the other party.

This cruel act immediately angered the city lord.

He saw it as a provocation by the people of gold to the elves, so he took the city defense army out of the battle, and the two sides couldn't help but scuffle together!

The ancient enmity of the elves and the people of gold, as well as the panic of the catastrophe, had been stored in the city-state, and now it was ignited by blood and fire, and it was suddenly uncontrollable.

The battle didn't last long before the paladins fled with heavy casualties and wounds.

Collins was long gone, and only the city of Nebra was left in disarray.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters overlapped, and the originally stable city of Nibra seemed to have collapsed a city wall, and a breakthrough was found by strange beasts.

At the same time, the three wounded paladins were also targeted by the strange beasts.

Then, there was the next encounter.

…

Gawain finished saying this with a blank expression, and the room fell silent.

What will Nebra City look like now?

Although it will not become purgatory, it is also falling step by step.

"Do you want to save them?" Heine asked directly.

"Yes." Gawain nodded honestly, "But I know you won't allow it." ”

Heine raised his eyebrows: "Who did you learn from when you retreated?" ”

Gawain immediately pretended to look around at the scenery.

But his thick-eyed guy is obviously not suitable for this action.

It seems that eighty percent of them are sheep catchers, Heine said in his heart.

At this time, the players were also discussing this plot.

Teacher Xia: "Yes, the corrective power of this plot has been changed back...... As long as you are stained with necromancy, you have to die, which is arranged in the game, and it is really in line with the urine nature of the Holy Light. ”

Wei Diankite: "Isn't this all right?" I remember that the player's choice of necromancer in the game started with this story, right? ”

Mr. Sa: "Yes, the Void Disaster 1 year, after the Foggy Valley plot, the Master signed a treaty with Eternal Dawn, allowing players to choose a necromancer, as long as they don't go to the territory of Eternal Dawn to die, they won't be attacked for no reason, but they have to be thrown eggs."

"But then again, the trigger for this was the collapse of prices in Nibra City, and then the strange beasts took advantage of it. In order to protect themselves, the locals follow a necromancer to learn forbidden spells, and when the paladin reinforcements from the scorching mountains arrive, the two sides fight. ”

Teacher Xia: "I also have the impression that I have forgotten the name of the old mage, but it is definitely not called Collins." I just remember that he was a professional mentor for players, and when he died, many buddies in the forum said that 'killing his father is not a common thing' or something. ”

Guardian Kite: "...... There's nothing wrong with it, the necromancer's graduation staff before the fifth level is 'Daddy's bones', which is drawn from the old man's body, and 'Daddy is with me'. ”

…

What kind of story is this......

But hearing them say this, Heine has a score in his heart.

One year of the Void Catastrophe, four years after the launch of AGE.

Judging from the information I heard in the past, as well as this so-called "graduation weapon", the average level of players at that time was only about five levels, which belonged to the moment when the faction had just been established and the Eternal Dawn had not yet separated.

With McCalla's current strength, he can get involved in this.

But how to intervene and how to maximize benefits need to be discussed.

"Put them here for now, and let Bedwell watch."

Heine instructed: "You pick some people with closed beta qualifications to come over and participate in the 'Battle Royale', Foggy Hollow is a must, but not now." ”

"Yes." Gawain nodded heavily.

……

The next few days were calm in McCalalla.

The news from the city of Nebra did not seem to leave a trace.

Fifty Holy Light warriors from the Court of Light were also sent out for a dungeon trial.

They are all very recognizable, and their skin tones are a shade darker than others, which is all caused by excessive sunlight.

Their arrival overcrowded the flower-plagued area, so the insect plague area was also opened up.

It is better preserved, the ecological environment is more primitive, and the terrain is more complex, which is conducive to Alpha to hone his "monster farming ability".

As a "background program" for generating monsters, Alpha has also made great strides these days.

That's why rhubarb got it here.

As a qualified high-level AI, it's not enough to just pinch monsters behind closed doors.

It has to progress with the "player".

The immutable monster farming routine will inevitably be adapted, and then targeted and cracked.

That's not what Rhubarb wants to see.

What he wants is an advanced AI that is always evolving, the angle of the monster farm must be frenzied, and the way the monster appears must be unexpected.

In addition, he is also collecting data from the aborigines and adjusting the strength of the monsters that are spawned at the same time.

It's a step-by-step process.

This point was felt most deeply by the trainees who participated in the mission.

Farming is not as easy as it was at the beginning, and the blighted beasts that used to die when touched are now entangled for a few seconds.

And this entanglement makes it easy to expose your back to others, and thus die at the hands of other monsters.

They finally know why it's called "Survival War".

As it stands, it will be difficult for them to survive even without the instructor himself.

Less than 10% of people successfully escape the maze every day.

In other words, ninety percent of the trialists will be subjected to "severe punishment" – that is, they will be responsible for everyone's logistics.

Now even the logistics staff are saved.

This life lasted for seven days, and they ushered in their first vacation.

The notification was sent directly to their little pull.

Only then did they discover that the "signal" of the withered scar was much more stable unconsciously.

And along with the holiday notice, there is also an "Information Collection Activity".

"Any information related to Nebra City can be sent through teleportation to: Lou Ultun, assistant to the lord's staff, and after verifying it as useful information, the person who provides the information will be rewarded with 5 contribution points/piece."

At the same time, the same notices appeared on the billboards of the three towns.
