Chapter Eighty-Six: The Pope

waited until midnight, and Pan Long finally waited for the person he was looking for.

Or rather, the monster you're looking for.

There were many ghosts in the woods, and transparent figures let out silent screams, flying around among the trees, arousing clusters of green ghost fires.

Illuminated by the ghostly fire, some strange figures emerged from the ground, walking aimlessly in the woods.

These figures were all women, tall and short, fat and thin. More than three meters tall, it looks like a bamboo pole, short at most one meter, almost feet below the waist, fat whole body is swollen, like a floating corpse that has been soaked for a few days, thin skin wrapped in bones, it is like a skeleton.

However, not even one of them looked like a normal person.

Pan Long knew that these women were all monsters who had cultivated evil arts.

In the original game plot, the old earl pitted a lot of people. Among these people, some are decent people with special functions like the old prophets, and some are demons who suck blood and eat people like countesses.

These women, who were walking in the woods, belonged to a special sect. This sect practices sorcery and is able to devour lives and gain great power.

At the beginning, this sect naturally had men and women, but they were fooled by the old earl, the female pope and the old earl cooperated, and the two sides set a trap and killed all the men in the sect for blood sacrifice, so the female pope and the old earl both got strong power, and it can be said that the cooperation was pleasant.

However, as soon as the benefits arrived, the old earl immediately turned his face and poisoned the wine of the Pope and the high-ranking members of the sect, and poisoned all the partners who had been celebrating half an hour earlier.

Combined with his previous behavior of pinning the other party to draw blood while the female vampire was tired and weak after falling in love...... This guy is really the overlord among the scumbags, and he really deserves to be a first-class villain.

The old earl poisoned the top of the sect, and then sent his soldiers to slaughter the remaining women. Eventually, he abandoned the corpses into the wilderness, where they were to be devoured by wild beasts.

But he never dreamed that the power of that blood sacrifice had not dissipated because of the death of the female pope. On the contrary, because the Pope and even all the members of the entire Church were killed in a short period of time, the power of the Blood Sacrifice was further strengthened, and the dead Pope and the female disciples were transformed into monsters.

A group of monsters clad in human skin, but without humanity.

These monsters were originally labeled "Sorceresses" in the game, but players refer to them as "tigresses" for a simple reason......

Pan Long flicked his fingers, and a leaf flew out like a dart, hitting a nearby dwarf woman.

Except for her legs, which were unusually short, the short woman was somewhat normal in other places, and a little more human-like than the other sorceresses. But after being struck by the leaf, she immediately let out a terrifying roar.

The roar spread everywhere, with a trembling bass, like a tiger descending from a mountain, and terrified the birds and beasts.

This is where the term "tigress" comes from.

Regardless of the type of sorceress, she likes to let out this kind of roar like a tiger's roar. Players have to fight against them and the skeletons and ghosts they summon, deal with all sorts of evil spells, and endure this heart-chilling roar, hence their nickname.

Don't underestimate this roar, that is, Pan Long is determined and his soul is strong, if he were an ordinary person, just hearing this roar, he might be scared and lose his mind.

When I first played the game, I often saw that my sanity kept lowering and lowering again and again - fortunately, it didn't add extra pressure, and it was still a little bit human.

Pan Long's gaze only swept twice over the roaring sorceress, and he didn't look again, but continued to search.

He's not looking for this miscellaneous fish, but the top of the sect, preferably their leader, the one the players call the "Female Pope".

The Pope was the only one of all the sorcerers who looked like a normal person, and at first glance she was a pretty woman. When I first met this boss, many people were confused by her appearance, wondering if there was something wrong?

After all, all the monsters in this game are extremely ugly, and they can hold an ugly conference, how can there be a beautiful boss?

But when the battle begins, players find out that she really deserves to be a boss.

In the beginning, the Pope will try to talk to the players, using her tragic experience to convince them to help them avenge themselves.

If someone is bewitched by her and agrees to her, she will invite you to their party and introduce you to her companions.

If you don't want to go, of course you will start fighting immediately. If you go, you'll end up surrounded by a group of sorceresses.

Back then, there were super hardcore players, who really relied on four people to harden more than 30 female warlocks, and it took almost three hours to beat them all to death. Pan Long also watched that video, and he was really shocked, and even doubted that those four players would be masters of martial arts in reality, otherwise how could they have such a quick reaction and such an accurate judgment?

But of course, most players don't have the ability of the four hardcore kings, and they are besieged by more than thirty female warlocks, not to mention four people, even if there are fourteen people, only one second servant will end up.

Pan Long was one of those people who were not fooled, and when they said "I don't believe you" or "I want to protect the civilians of Hamlet" and so on, and rejected her persuasion, this beautiful BOSS would perform a big change on the spot, from a delicate beauty to a monster with three heads and four arms, with fire burning in his eyes, poisonous smoke in his mouth, horns on his head, claws on his hands and feet, and even a monster with a sharp tail covered with barbs.

This monster is quite strong in combat, and its combat methods are complex and changeable, and it can even summon several ghosts to help, which is very difficult to fight.

In other words, as a hardcore game, in this game, there is not even a boss that is not "very difficult" to fight, it is nothing more than very difficult, 12 points difficult, 15 points difficult...... And so on.

Interestingly, if you accept her invitation to attend a gathering of sorceresses, the sorceresses will all appear as beautiful women. Even in the end, there was a brutal scene of more than 30 group beatings of four, and they were beaten by a group of beautiful girls.

Even if you can be brave enough to cut them all down, they will always look like beautiful women.

Players' evaluation of this is: Although the game company is a bastard, it is still a little bit human. Knowing that the players were deceived and beaten by the group was already miserable, I gave everyone a little compensation.

...... Who wants this compensation? Eye-catching games are all over the streets, aren't they rare?

You design a decent plot to warm the hearts of players, which is what people should do!

Thinking of the situation back then, Pan Long couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment in his heart. Immediately, he had a wonderful idea.

Now he is confident that even if he is besieged by dozens or hundreds of sorceresses, he will definitely not be his opponent.

In that case, why not give it a try and see if you can get a good ending to it?

Thinking of this, he searched harder and harder, looking for the figure of the "female pope".

After a long while, he finally found the leader of the sect called the "Female Pope" deep in the woods.

Just like in the game, she wears an old robe, has a good look, a hot body, and looks like a Cinderella who can't hide her beauty even if her face is covered with dust.

She stood quietly in a clearing deep in the woods, Ning looked up at the sky, motionless, as if thinking about something.

Pan Long leaped forward, gliding through the air above her, then plummeting straight down, and finally falling lightly to the ground without splashing a single trace of dust.

"Are you interested in talking?" he said, "I have come to trouble the old earl, who has been hiding for more than a hundred years, and as the one who was murdered by him in those years, will you help me?"

The female pope was stunned for a moment and looked at him.

"You're going to trouble him?" she asked, "do you know who he is?"

"A man who is dying. Pan Long replied, "In order not to die, he turned himself into some kind of monster. But the transformation was not successful, or rather, it did not achieve what he expected. So he kept sending people to lure young people who were related to him to this town, trying to take their bodies so that he could start over. ”

He sneered and continued, "But his plan was not successful, although more than one of those people in the past was taken by him, but those bodies did not meet his requirements. Under the influence of his evil spells, those bodies deteriorated quickly, and one by one they turned into monsters in the labyrinth. So now he's lured another guy over and wants to do it again. ”

The female pope frowned: "These things, even I don't know very well, why do you know?"

"Because I'm here to destroy him. Pan Long smiled, "There are some things that you think no one knows, but in fact, there are many people who know." ”

"Impossible!" said the Pope, categorically, "between us—"

Before she could finish speaking, Pan Long interrupted her: "At the beginning, you discussed that you would gain great power together, and then seek immortality. For this reason you have put to death all the men of the sect and have made blood sacrifices. Right?"

The female pope's face suddenly turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back, looking at Pan Long in disbelief.

"No...... Why do you know?" she exclaimed, "it was just the two of us!"

"I've said a lot of things, you think no one knows, but in fact there are a lot of people who know. Pan Long smiled and quoted a famous saying, "God knows, God knows ghosts, you know and I know...... You see, don't everyone know about this? ”

The Pope seemed to understand something, frowned, and whispered, "The oracle? What that scum did that even the gods of heaven are angry about? Then why didn't he just drop a thunderbolt and kill that scum?"

Pan Long didn't answer.

He is now playing a mysterious master, and it doesn't matter where the other party understands him, the important thing is not to show his stuff.

If found out by the Pope, he is not a ...... at all No, he is indeed a mysterious master!

Strong martial arts, vast magical powers, mysterious origins, and knows many things...... He has all the elements that these mysterious masters need to have.

Thinking about it this way, he is clearly the characters such as "sage" and "master" who appear in fantasy stories, pretend to be forced and leave. There is no need to hide anything, and there is no need to show anything.

Thinking of this, he was relieved, looked at the other party with a smile, and waited for the female pope to make a decision.

The female pope thought for a long time, and finally sighed and asked, "You said you were going to deal with him, right?"

Pan Long nodded.

"And what are you going to do with him?"

"Of course I'm going to get rid of his men first, and then try to get into that weird labyrinth he's dug out and pull him out and kill him. Pan Long replied.

The female pope was noncommittal and continued to ask: "His men ...... What kind of subordinates are he?"

"Obey his commands and serve him, and be his men. ”

"Do the inhabitants of Hamlet count?" asked the Pope.

Pan Long asked rhetorically: "If the current Count of Hamlet's orders contradict his orders, who do you think the residents of Hamlet Town will listen to?"

The female pope thought for a moment and said, "It should be...... Whoever gives them benefits, they will listen to them, these civilians seem to be loyal and honest, but in fact they are very cunning. ”

"And what do you think he can do to the residents?"

The female pope shook her head: "Neither that scumbag nor the current earl can give them any benefits." ”

Pan Long also shook his head: "You are wrong, that scum really can't give the residents any benefits, but now this earl is different, he does have a way to bring benefits to the residents, and he has already brought it." ”

"What's the benefit?"

"A stable life, a stable income, and hope for the future. Pan Long replied, "Safety and hope, isn't that a benefit?"

The Pope fell into deep thought, and after a long time she asked, "Do you mean that you want me to withdraw from this forest and stop harassing Hamlet?"

"I don't need you to leave. Pan Long replied, "Instead, I need you to stay here." ”

The female pope looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

"My plan is to deal with that scumbag, and the more helpers the better. Pan Long replied, "I need you, and the sisters you feel are strong enough to help in a crucial battle, to wait for a while...... Probably a few months. When the time comes, let's go find trouble with that scum together. ”

He looked at the female pope: "You can accept my suggestion, or you can reject it and fight me now...... In short, the choice is yours. ”
