Chapter 201 Necessary Sacrifice in Response to Destruction
When countless monsters were massacred in Rogge Town, which was completely blocked by the magic circle mask, the town was protected by another magic circle mask. On the high tower altar, Baron Rogge, who was wearing gorgeous noble clothes, had a crazy smile on his face.
"Kill! Pain! Despair! Struggle with all your strength! Please be sure to offer the most sumptuous feast to hell and the abyss!"
He turned his head and glanced at what was under the tower. The citizens of Rogge Town, who were howling in agony after being slaughtered by a large number of monsters, did not have a trace of sadness or guilt in their eyes, only strong excitement, as if they wished that this kind of massacre could be carried out more violently.
"All great achievements require necessary sacrifices! My townspeople! I will always remember your achievements!"
He then opened his arms and raised his head to the sky and shouted a few words loudly. The expression on his face looked very enjoyable, as if his life had reached its climax.
After a few seconds, he shifted his gaze to the crystal ball on the top of the pillar in front of him.
The crystal ball at this moment is quite different from the beginning. It is no longer as crystal clear as it was at the beginning. The whole thing exudes a very dark and evil atmosphere. It looks very strange. Only by carefully looking inside If you look, you will see a darker and more evil altar inside.
"Huh? Why is there not much movement in the Holy City..."
After staring at the crystal ball for two seconds, Baron Rogge discovered something wrong, that is, he was used as a sacrifice The initiator of the ceremony did not feel how much sacrificial power the Holy City of Efilan had contributed to his ceremony, and was almost completely stagnant. This rather abnormal situation made him frown.
While frowning and thinking, he then shifted his gaze from the center of the crystal ball to the bottom of the crystal ball. Then, under the cover of the dark and evil aura, he found that there was a very superficial but obviously not false trace. Scarlet color, this discovery immediately relaxed his frown.
"Haha... My sacrifice has begun to receive a response... It's just a small accident, and it can't hinder my great plan at all."
He immediately stopped paying attention to the Holy Spirit. Don’t pay too much attention to the abnormal situation over there, and concentrate on returning to Among his current priorities, such as continuing to chant the incantation of the sacrificial ritual, allowing more monsters to pour into Rogge Town from the dark rift, allowing the pain, despair and death of nearly 100,000 people to fill the gap in the ritual's needs, so that He can obtain more mysterious gifts from the great existence.
At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who was thousands of miles away, had already arrived in Red Deer at the teleportation array that their mission team had used before. He followed the operations of the professionals he had seen a day ago. He tried to use this teleportation array to return to the area of Rogge Town, but soon discovered that there was something wrong with his operation at some point, or there was insufficient supply of magic power. The teleportation array did not respond at all, and he failed. Turn it on.
“Miscalculation... This thing is much more complicated than it seems... We should bring those people in the convoy over to help... However, it will definitely take a lot of time to convince them and bring them over. , I’d better hurry over there.”
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan gave up on spending a lot of trouble to rely on others to use this teleportation array to return to Rogge Town. He once again got on the back of the red deer horse and let it rush to its destination at the highest speed.
Don’t think that the method he chose is very stupid or inefficient. In fact, considering that Red Deer Horse exceeds the speed of ordinary airplanes, it only takes more than an hour to reach Rogge Town across more than 2,000 kilometers. It would be slower than if he went to communicate with the professionals in the motorcade and then brought them to this teleportation array, it might even be much faster.
So Wang Zhifan then rode a red deer horse into the sky, and based on the map information he learned from the red-haired mage Andre in the carriage a day ago, he rushed to the location of Rogge Town at high speed, and No matter what obstacles he encountered along the way, such as when he encountered a monster flying in the air, he would directly use the power of ice to control it and then get rid of it, never delaying a second in the process.
In more than an hour, night fell quickly. The professionals and players who wanted to escape from the ruins of Alfilan were fighting hard for their lives, and the large number of monsters in Rogge Town were The ravages continued, and Baron Rogge's sacrificial ceremony was also carried out simultaneously.
At this moment, almost an hour and a half has passed. Inside Rogge Town, which is blocked by the tough magic circle, the screams of the residents can rarely be heard. A living human figure is surrounded by all kinds of ferocious monsters, large and small, walking through the streets. Some are eating human corpses everywhere, some are fighting and attacking each other, and some are still doing their best. Try your best to search for survivors in the town.
It's hard to say how many people have died in Rogge Town. It may be 99,000 or 100,000. Although there should be a few hiding humans still alive, it is obvious that this place has been completely destroyed. , it is no longer a shelter suitable for human habitation, but a terrifying place where countless monsters gather.
However, no matter how dangerous the place is, there will be some brave people who do not choose to hide all the time. Driven by some strong motives, they dare to challenge the place where monsters gather.
The current challenger is a masked, thin man in black. As a professional assassin, his superb stealth ability and extraordinary speed have allowed him to survive the siege of monsters until now. Although Along the way, he encountered some special types of monsters that could detect him and launch a mad pursuit, but he found a way to deal with or get rid of them all.
The place where he challenged was the place he had visited yesterday in Rogge Town. It was a sturdy noble warehouse, which contained many standard and rare equipment.
Yesterday, this player wanted to get more harvest in this warehouse, but he was ultimately defeated under the influence of a large number of guards and all-seeing crystals. Now those guards and all-seeing crystals have disappeared. , the existence that interfered with his gains turned into a large number of monsters gathered here.
"Damn it...why are there so many monsters in this place..."
After observing in the invisible state for a while, the assassin player discovered that the situation was more complicated than he imagined. There should not be too many monsters around the building with many people, but it turned out that the number of monsters gathered here was no less than elsewhere, and even seemed to be more than elsewhere in the surrounding area.
“Fight for rare equipment!”
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chose to continue approaching. After all, a warehouse of rare equipment was too tempting for him. Even though the attributes of these rare-level equipment were similar and they were a series of equipment with specialized effects, he didn't want to let them go.
As a player, he understands why there is no shop after passing this village. No one knows what will happen if he continues to delay. The only way is to put enough equipment into his own space first. Best policy.
He then quietly approached the large number of monsters gathered around the warehouse in front of him in the invisible state, always paying attention to whether they noticed him as an uninvited guest. In a place like this, if there was the slightest accident, he would be besieged by all the monsters, and then he would be No matter how fast you are, you may not be able to escape.
"Very good...none of these monsters noticed me...my opportunity to rise is right in front of me!" After a simple test, the assassin player determined that there should be no monsters gathered here. The type that restrained him, so he became bolder and directly concealed He walked into the group of these monsters and passed by them cautiously without making any noise or causing any pebbles on the ground to move. He even used the skills of the assassin profession to minimize the damage to his body. The breath allowed him to travel through it like air.
This process sounds a bit scary, but the result is relatively smooth. He finally passed the group of monsters outside the warehouse without any danger, arrived at the door of the warehouse, and then entered in.
Like most other buildings in Rogge Town, this warehouse has been forcibly destroyed by monsters. These brutal guys dug through the thick metal door of the warehouse with their claws, and broke through the solid metal door of the warehouse with their sharp corners. marble walls, and then swarmed up and completely tore apart the few guards and administrators inside, making this place not much different from other locations in Rogge Town. It was also filled with the stench of many bloody liquids and corpses.
However, these things did not pose any trouble to the Assassin player who had sneaked in. He only noticed one thing at the moment, that is, the interior of the warehouse had become a mess. All the display shelves that were once neatly arranged collapsed to the ground. All kinds of equipment have been scattered everywhere. Some of them were covered by the rubble in the damaged areas of the wall, and some were directly damaged violently. Many of the armor-type equipment were even completely turned into pieces and torn apart by violence. Scattered all over the floor like fine rags.
[Demon-killing Spear (Rare) (Damaged)]
[This spear has suffered high-intensity physical damage. It has lost the special power it should have. It is more powerful than a spear. The fire stick is not very useful. It can only be restored to its original function by finding a professional enough blacksmith to repair it. ]
[Dagger of Justice (Rare) (Damaged)]
[This dagger was forcibly broken, and the perpetrator even left his own blood on it...]
[Guardian Shield (Rare) (Damaged)]
...
"What's going on...Why are all the equipment here damaged?"
When this The Assassin player looked around and found that there was no real person in sight. When Chang's equipment displayed information, his originally happy heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He didn't understand why the equipment here had been damaged to such an extent, and all the equipment he imagined were scattered on the ground for him to pick up. The situation with Rise is completely different.
Not long after, a corpse in a corner of the warehouse destroyed by monsters caught his attention and gave him a hint.
That was not the corpse of a human, but the corpse of an ordinary fanged monster, and this monster did not seem to be killed by a human. You could see that it was chewing a piece of meat with its fangs and big mouth before it died. The long sword caused the blade of the long sword to bend and deform, but a display stand next to it seemed to have collapsed when it was tossed like this, causing many weapons on it to fall on it, which just ended its sin.
Across the warehouse, many pieces of equipment can be found with teeth marks that are definitely not caused by humans. All this also shows who is the culprit of destroying these pieces of equipment.
"Damn monster! What a fucking disease! Why are you destroying things here!"
The assassin player felt surprisingly angry and frustrated at this moment. He thought about it a thousand times, and even The equipment here had already been looted by others and I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that these bloodthirsty and cruel monsters not only killed humans, but also had a hobby of destroying equipment.
"Is it because these equipments are a series of products specially designed to suppress darkness and evil, so they are naturally disgusted by these monsters? So as soon as the monsters found them, they went crazy and forcibly destroyed them? But even so One thing, the equipment in this world also feels fragile enough..."
The assassin player quickly made a relatively reasonable guess based on the current findings, but his thoughts did not dwell on this issue for long and quickly moved on to the next matter.
This matter is his last hope at present, which is to search for valuable equipment here, because there may be some lucky equipment that has not been destroyed by monsters, such as a piece of equipment that has not been destroyed by monsters. Before I really noticed it, it was covered by something.
The next thing he has to do is to find them as much as possible. Otherwise, he has spent a lot of energy and taken such a big risk to come here and can only pick up some useless garbage. He himself cannot forgive himself. .
This process was more risky than his previous plan. In order to find equipment that might still be intact, he had to move around carefully in this place surrounded by monsters, and found that there was a relatively large one. If there are door panels or stones, you must find a way to remove them without causing obvious movement, so as to determine whether there is relatively good equipment hidden under them.
In this way, after a careful and cautious search, he really found a good harvest, which was a rare ring, which was pressed under the wooden board of a display shelf.
[Bright Ring (Rare) (Slightly Damaged)]
[This ring has been damaged to a small extent. Although it does not affect its special effects, it may be completely damaged if it receives further impact. If it is damaged, find a suitable craftsman to completely repair it as soon as possible. 】
“Not bad, it’s not in vain after all.”
The assassin player learned that this piece of equipment was still usable through the item display information, so he quickly picked it up and prepared to put it into his personal space. .
But just as he was doing this, several wandering monsters happened to pass by outside the warehouse. One of them, a type with keen senses, seemed to have noticed his traces, and he saw it opening its big mouth at this time. With a low roar, the monsters that were originally relatively peaceful outside the warehouse began to riot.
