"I'm really curious, how do you plan to enter the underworld?" Kakulucia asked: "Even the believers of Kelanwo, without very special circumstances, cannot enter the kingdom of the God of Death. Even if we What¡¯s the use of entering the temple?¡±
"Klanvor's kingdom is different." Yang Hai said popularly: "The kingdoms of other gods are in the outer plane, but Klenvor's priesthood is death. He needs to collect the souls of the dead, so Klenvor's god The inner plane of the country is connected to the main material plane by the Styx River. Although we cannot teleport directly to the underworld, we can walk through the Styx River."
"We are mortal mortals." As a powerful mage, Kaculuchia already has a deep understanding of the inner content of this game. "We can't walk on the River Styx, even if we just take a look at that river. , the extraordinary power contained in the river will completely deprive us of our lives. In the entire team, you are the only one who can see the River Styx, because you are the chosen one - and even you cannot touch the water of the River Styx."
"Of course we cannot enter the underworld alive. As long as the breath of living people appears in that place, the entire world's creatures will fall into madness." Yang Hai shook his head and said: "We have to enter as dead people."
They sneaked into the side hall of the temple, and Yang Hai whispered: "Control the guards and don't let them make any noise."
The temple of Death God Kelanvor is not big. It is a bit unworthy of the word "temple". It looks more like a higher-end funeral parlor. The place where they are at this moment is the bathing pool of the temple, where the priests bathe and change clothes to show respect for the funeral ceremony.
There are two guards at the entrance of the bath - but there are no guards stationed in other parts of the entire temple, which makes this room particularly eye-catching.
Yang Hai counted down: "3, 2, 1¡ª¡ª"
He rushed out and killed the guard on the left with the Shadow Blade. Blake blew the arrow and killed the guard on the right instantly.
At this time, the priest in the bathhouse probably didn't know yet. Yang Hai made a surprise gesture, and Blake drank the second bottle of invisibility potion at the same time.
He unlocked the door of the bathhouse quietly, and the four of them went in invisible.
The bathtub was unexpectedly large, and the entire room was shrouded in thick white mist. The white mist exuded a sticky and greasy touch. More than a dozen sacrifices floated motionless on the pool like mummies. Their sacrifices The robe seemed to have not been soaked in water and still retained its shape, giving the whole room a strange atmosphere.
Next to the bath, an old man in white robes was squinting his eyes and singing obscure songs around the bath.
Yang Hai has extraordinary writing skills, and he recognized that this was an ancient common language.
"The misty eternity, like a dream and an illusion
The memories of the living disappear like quicksand
The fire of life only flashes for an instant
"The blessing of death, the feast of the abyss"
The singing is intermittent and tuneless, and these lines are repeated in a loop, giving people a creepy feeling.
Yang Hai made a hand gesture, and several people burst into violence at the same time.
The old man in white robe showed a warm smile, and the singing in his mouth still continued, and he evaded all the skills in a flash. Only Blake's blowgun had the attribute of being sure to hit, and it forcibly dealt damage. The old man's song was interrupted for a moment and then started playing again.
However, unknown to everyone in glory-day, their whereabouts were exposed again.
So online games are really a place with no secrets.
A live broadcast post was pinned to the top by the administrator, and players came in one after another to watch the glory-day people defeat the high priest of Kelanvor.
"I'm a little excited now. Do you think I'm scared? That's true, but it's mainly excitement." The live broadcaster turned on the third-person perspective and saw an old man in white robe and glory-day in a bathtub with extremely low visibility. Everyone was excited: "Today is a good day for me. After completing the hidden mission, I am finally qualified to bathe in the pond of contemplation in the temple. The first bath in the pond of contemplation can increase attribute points, just like the Death Cult." There is a senior brother inside who has increased his attribute points by 3 in one go. However, you cannot move in the bath. Boss Posidon probably thought that there were all NPCs in this bath, so they definitely didn¡¯t expect anyone to be live streaming.¡±
The live broadcaster was still very eloquent and did not have stage fright. Instead, he discussed the situation with great interest and seriousness: "The Great Elder is very perverted. He is not an ordinary priest. He is a heroic warrior who has entered the Kingdom of God. But later he chose self-exile for unknown reasons. This great elder must have a hidden mission. I and several of my main competitors want to dig out the mission from him, but so far this great elder hasExcept for singing, he acted stupidly and never said a word. The group of glory-day people are so perverted, I guess this elder is no match. But fortunately, the ceremony is almost over. I have already obtained two free attribute points, so I won¡¯t lose anything. "
The Great Elder cannot beat the people of glory-day. This is the intuitive judgment of the Death God sect player, but Yang Hai and others in the field do not have this feeling.
Yang Hai frowned. He felt that everything had been going wrong recently. He casually came to a small town, and found an unknown sect in it. The priests who guarded it were so powerful. It was so unexpected. Expected. In terms of glory-day's strength, if they use all their strength, even ordinary voters are no match for them, but this old man who looks stupid and stupid still has time to sing that intermittent song under their siege. .
Blake no longer used his terrifying blowgun. The Troll King's blowgun was okay against the minions, but it was not good enough to deal with this terrifying old man. This old man was a priest, and a recovery spell on himself was enough for Blake to play for two hours. The old man couldn't fight back, so he kept milking himself, going around the pool, singing that ancient and weird song.
Yang Hai shouted to stop, and the four glory-day people gathered around the old pastor.
"This mission is so unsatisfactory." Blake said very unhappily: "Damn it, you have to go through a hidden level when you go to the underworld?"
"This is definitely not a hidden level." Visconti shook his head.
"Do something, poseidon, you are the top PVE player, nothing can stop you, right?" Kakulchia shrugged.
The barrage passed by 666.
"I agree with Mr. Pooh, this is definitely not a hidden level. There is no reason for this kind of level to appear when the player has not fully reached the level. There is no reason for such low-level design errors in the Forgotten Continent."
"Maybe this is the result of the brain running on its own. This old priest - a heroic warrior who was exiled from the underworld - has some super big mission, and poseidon and the others met this NPC at the wrong level?"
"Haha, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved with violence, glory-day won't work either."
"I guess they won't be able to get through this level."
"666, smile at the bronze spray king."
"Look at the bronze spray king with a smile."
"I'm not saying that the old NPC won't fight back. Anyway, if you can't beat him to death, I can do it."
"Glory-day is a top-notch mercenary group, and it's A-list in every aspect, okay, brother, bragging, I won't obey anyone, so I'll obey you."
"Anyway, if you can't be beaten to death, I can do it~"
¡°You can¡¯t be beaten to death anyway, so I can do it~666¡±
"The facts are here, brother, what can be done? There is nothing they can do about this mission. If I have the equipment accumulation like Blake, I dare to say that I am the first warrior in the mainland, okay?"
"Brother, stop bragging. Blake was the one who tied with Xilo without wearing a wrist guard. Can you beat the number one Sword Song in Dawn Forest wearing one less piece of equipment? The arena has compressed attributes, and those magical outfits are useless. Okay!"
"This song is a book code. The translated meaning is that the god of death, Kelanvor, is not in the Kingdom of God, and the false god has usurped his priesthood. Please help me."
"Brother, what's your imagination? You haven't solved the only true god of the forgotten continent, Poseidon. Can you solve it?"
"Holy shit, it's icelord? Look at the ID, is it icelord himself?"
¡°666¡±
"666, the icelord is here to help."
"In the special plot, players can't receive information, okay?"
Yang Hai observed the old NPC carefully and said, "Let me think about it, he is a priest, a heroic warrior."
"Why the Heroic Warrior?" Visconti asked.
"Because Kelanvor is a very serious god, and the underworld is a hierarchical place, and I happen to do research on inscriptions, so the inscription on his belt explains his identity, a heroic warrior. This is strange, because Generally speaking, heroic warriors will not leave the Kingdom of God. I mean, sometimes heroic warriors will be given the status of ambassadors - this is rare - but generally heroic warriors will not leave the Kingdom of God. "
"Okay, this old immortal is a heroic warrior." Blake muttered, "Then how should we go to the underworld?"
"He is currently presiding over the contemplation ceremony, which is a unique ritual of the Death Temple. By allowing believers to sleep and bathe in the pond of contemplation, they can obtain blessings and strength from Kelanwo." Yang Hai continued to provide information.
"So he didn't fight back when he was beaten, because he wanted to preside over such a ceremony, which means that once the ceremony is over, this person will turn around and kill us all, right?" Kakuluchia asked.
Yang Hai shook his head: "In fact, that's not the case, because he can interrupt the ritual, kill us, and then continue the ritual, because the ritual of sleeping in the Pond of Contemplation itself has no rules that cannot be interrupted. Think about it, A group of people are taking a bath, and a priest is watching over the situation. As long as the person watching the situation ensures that nothing happens to the people in the pool, it doesn't matter what happens to the other people, right?"
"you mean?"
"What I mean is, we can go take a bath in the Pond of Contemplation, get some free attributes or something, and be careful not to run into other people in the Pond of Contemplation. I don't think this old NPC will care about us-" Yang Hai saw the excited expressions on his teammates and waved his hands quickly: "I'm just making a metaphor. You don't even have faith in Kelanvor. What's the use of soaking in the pond of contemplation! Besides, we have to save lives. Eye."
"Wait a minute." Kakulucia said: "You said this old NPC is just a spectator, that means -"
"Singing here is a behavior that he would have done. So the question is, is the song he sings for us or for the people taking a bath?" Yang Hai said: "We can only I assume it was sung to us, because if it were sung by someone taking a bath, I don¡¯t know how to get past this boss - this person is obviously unkillable, and you can¡¯t kill a boss that increases health, imagine Suddenly you are fighting against Dead Eye, and this Dead Eye has become an elite template, and its attributes are multiplied by 20, but it can still fill itself with blood. So, his singing must have some meaning. "
"Then what does it mean?" Kakulchia asked.
"The singing must have conveyed some information that we can't understand." Yang Hai pressed his forehead: "It may be a set of passwords, and it may be reorganized to get new sentences. I have to think about it."
"Can't we leave this old NPC and go directly to the underworld?" Blake asked: "According to your analysis, he won't care about us anyway?"
Yang Hai was decoding and did not answer. Visconti said: "No, Blake, we have obviously triggered the hidden plot. We ignore the plot and go directly. This may have been useful in previous missions, but this mission - go Looking for a powerful god in the underworld, a god close to great power, to beg a soul without faith? I have never done anything so difficult! God knows what will happen to us in the underworld?"
"We just happened to be here, right, so this song must not be sung for us." Yang Hai suddenly said: "Maybe I thought wrong, this song is sung for the believers of the God of Death. This old man is crazy. He must be pretending, he is conveying some message to the believers of the God of Death.¡±
"Perhaps he is really crazy?" Visconti asked.
"Even if he is really crazy, there must be a reason why such a powerful being is crazy. For example, if he is cast a forbidden spell by some irresistible being, he can only tell the God of Death in this way. Something that believers must know. Ha, I should have thought of this earlier. So, he probably couldn't say what he was going to say, or even touch the words, so the lyrics he sang, must have been. It¡¯s meaningless. So, what¡¯s the meaning? Of course it¡¯s the song itself.¡± Yang Hai snapped his fingers: ¡°Then how does the song convey the message? Of course, which book is it? The teachings of Death. There is a reason why the songs are not in tune, because those songs are codes, and those notes are translated into numbers. If you pick them out one by one according to the teachings of Death, you will definitely form something interesting."
The old man suddenly turned around and walked out of the room singing.
"It seems that I guessed it right." Yang Hai laughed and took out a piece of parchment: "Someone, or some god, or some kind of existence, is monitoring him. Maybe not monitoring, but once he does He would know immediately if anything went too far, so he avoided us and didn't even bother with the meditation ceremony." Yang Hai picked up the pen and said, "We can start translating."
He wrote on the parchment word by word according to the music, and Visconti read out the text:
My god disappeared, the false god gained power, the underworld changed, and the false god was defeated
Yang Hai smiled as he saw that he had jumped up a lot of historical knowledge: "Our strategy has completely changed. Kelanwo is not in the underworld, which is great news for our plan. "
Where glory-day and others could not see, the barrage had completely exploded.
