Chapter 360: Can other camps do it? ! !
What's this!
Thomas's eyes suddenly brightened.
——This is a newly triggered "commissioned task"!
It was at the moment when "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos finished speaking.
At the same time, the "commissioned task" in the panel - [Bishop's Blessing] is triggered, and its only requirement is "returning to the priesthood". For Thomas, it can be called a welfare!
"This is my... comeback gift package?"
Thomas thought to himself, joy and excitement filled his heart, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
And around Thomas.
There are more than forty "Saint Guardian" players who have just returned. Like Thomas, they have also triggered new [Commissioned Tasks], and they all have expressions of excitement on their faces to varying degrees.
It was also the moment when "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos finished his words.
Almost all the "Saint Protector" players raised their heads, looking at their bishop and Luo Xiu with eyes filled with some extraordinary determination!
……
After that, "Bishop" Luo Xiu on the altar retreated surrounded by a group of "priests".
The priests on the side surrounded them at the same time and took the players away from the venue.
Thomas followed the clergyman who guided him. In his mind, the direction he was going was the "missionary office" of the church.
The person who led Thomas to the mission was a middle-aged clergyman with a meticulous expression.
On the way there, Thomas asked him roughly what happened within a month after their "Saint Protectors" disappeared.
The middle-aged cleric answered Thomas equally meticulously.
——It turns out that Bishop Rossiu Carlos left Red Maple City and went to Songyuan City to meet the Archbishop. In addition, in Songyuan City, he also collaborated with the saints there to destroy a dark factory of the "Hidden Omniscient One" ……
——The bishop is awesome!
Thomas thought to himself.
Thomas had some ideas about the pagans known as the Hidden Omniscients.
After all, in the first battle he encountered when he "came" to Red Maple City, "Hidden Elder" Babron was one of the biggest enemies the church faced at that time. Thomas had seen him summon the demon puppets "Burning Sky Dragon" and " "Dragon Hunter" means.
In addition to knowing the deeds of "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos this month.
Thomas also learned that the Red Maple City where he was located, one of the most important fortresses on the border of Songyuan Territory, had also been attacked by the Dark Army many times in the past month.
But a remarkable figure also came to the "side court" of Red Maple City. The "Thunder General" Albert crushed the enemy's invasion several times, and even beheaded an "Executioner" on the battlefield. Officer", and the head of the executioner is still hanging on the city gate!
I wonder who is stronger, "Thunder General" Albert, or our Bishop Rossiu Carlos... Thomas thought to himself.
These are the new things Thomas learned about Red Maple City from the mouth of the middle-aged cleric.
And on top of the overall pattern of the "trial war".
Thomas also knew that the ‘Bloody Declaration’ rebellion in the Kuma Territory was finally ended by the empire, and Emperor Augustwell was preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Dark Principality.
The 'Holy Tower Theocracy' also rebelled at this point. The 'Pope' there has declared a 'holy war' against the empire, and their 'Legion of Psykers' have invaded the borders of the empire...
"..."
A lot of things have indeed happened in the past month.
Compared with the time of the closed beta, the situation in the "Judgment War" has reached a fever pitch. Not only that, but the direct intervention of the heavyweight force "The Holy Tower Theocracy" has also made the war situation much more complicated.
This is a critical moment that determines the direction of history.
At this time, Thomas's eyes were shining with excitement.
There is only one thing on his mind right now...
——Dipping beans is great!
The more complex the war situation is, it means more plots, more tasks, more battles, more challenges, and more rewards for their "adventurers" and their players!
The strong sense of excitement you can get from it is what serious RPG players like Thomas are after!
This is the true "immersive experience"!
"..."
Listen to the priest who leads the way.
Thomas only felt excited, unprecedented excitement.
Beside him, the middle-aged cleric who was leading the way vaguely noticed that the expression of the newly "returned" saint protector was a little strange.
But the cleric couldn't tell what kind of expression it was.
I felt that the smile on Thomas's face was really scary, but he didn't say much.
And after the cleric carefully explained to Thomas what had happened in the past month.
He then asked Thomas:
"You just heard what the bishop said. The church has been looking for your whereabouts in the past few days since you were missing."
"Now that you have finally returned, you have also lost your sacred power. This is not a common thing."
"So, what have you experienced in this month?"
"..."
Uh... when the clergy asked him these questions, Thomas didn't know how to answer them.
Whose game is good? The public beta NPC will ask questions like "Why did you disappear for a month?" to the private beta players!
But after thinking about it, Thomas solemnly replied to the priest:
"Uh... Actually, I have lost my memory. I can't even remember what happened a month ago..."
"..."
"Amnesia?" The cleric was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he looked astonished, nodded, as if he was thinking about something seriously, and said:
"So that's it...well. It's indeed possible."
"Priests who came into contact with the pagans of [The Void] or [The Lost] have indeed experienced similar symptoms."
"It's just that your symptoms are more serious, and are even accompanied by the fading of strength and your direct disappearance... It doesn't matter. It's not too late to tell us when you remember something."
...? Is this really possible?
Thomas felt that he had done something, and then he heard the cleric in front of him say to him:
"After a while, my colleagues in the missionary office will do a comprehensive inspection for you."
The cleric patted Thomas on the shoulder, with a pleased expression on his face and said:
"If there are no problems with the inspection, you can really return to work."
"..."
Don't be like this... Thomas always felt his conscience aching, but he still nodded solemnly:
"Okay."
Immediately, he opened the [Player Forum] in his mind and posted a post visible only to players of the Red Maple City Church camp——
[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Family, the clergy from the church just asked me what I experienced during the month when I disappeared. I said that I lost my memory... remember to keep the same tone, family!
[Thomas the Tank Engine]: But it shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t mention amnesia. If any priests ask you, the reason shouldn’t be too outrageous.
【Thomas the Tank Engine】：Happy every day.gif
[Sweating mung beans (soybeans were robbed!]: Bao
[Human High-Quality Rereading Ji]: Bao’s
[Stewed crocodile in iron pot]: +1
【……】：……
……
In the [Player Forum], after asking other players to remember the same tone, they continued to chat word by word.
Thomas discovered that it seemed that other players were also visiting the forum while rushing on their way...
Most of the "Saint Guardian" players around him immediately commented in agreement with Thomas's post.
Because Thomas was the first player to be asked about his experience in the previous month, the post he just posted was like a "guide" and quickly spread among the group of forty people.
And on the way to the mission.
Thomas also saw that dozens of other clergymen had entered the church with the "refugees" brought back from outside the city and walked towards the altar of Xiumu. Those are all really pink and tender “new” players.
Thomas could probably guess that after that, they would stay in the church under the arrangements of the church clergy, or go to the 'Bianting' and 'Fangbeiyuan' to hold some junior positions, and truly experience the "newness" of this game. "The beginning.
Just like myself during the "internal beta"...
Suddenly, Thomas felt a sense of pride in his heart.
His eyes stopped looking around and he quickened his pace in the direction of the mission.
……
Red Maple City Church, inside the mission.
When the returning "Saint Protector" players were brought here by the priests, there were already ten "triple destiny" deacons waiting here in the mission.
Thomas looked inside and saw several familiar faces such as Maiyev and Connor.
Especially Connor, the former captain of the "Holy Guard", has successfully been promoted to the third destiny of [Glory]!
This made Thomas suddenly feel friendly.
"You are back."
Right in front of Thomas and the other players, "The Sin-Purifying Priest" Connor Luen raised his head and glanced at the players.
A calm, somewhat aged smile appeared on his face, and he greeted the players.
"I just heard the news about your return."
Connor said, "Although only forty people came back...but it's good to come back."
"Captain." Thomas greeted Connor back, and at the same time, he gave him a somewhat lame sacrament.
But Connor didn't care whether his salute was standard or not, he just waved his hand and said:
"Come here and sit down here."
"You have just come back. According to the bishop's order, we will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your status."
"First, we will confirm whether you were contaminated by any curse or ominousness during the period of your disappearance."
"..."
Connor said it very seriously, and the other priests beside him also looked serious.
Thomas and the other players looked at each other, then came to the seats in front of Connor and other "deacons" and sat down. They raised their heads and looked at the high-ranking people in front of them with curious eyes.
Thomas sat in front of Connor.
He saw his "captain" nodded slightly, raised his arm slightly, and placed his palm lightly on the top of Thomas' head.
In an instant, Thomas vaguely felt it.
Something was "sucked" from his body, and at the same time, a warm, almost hot touch came from Connor's palm.
At the same time, it was in Thomas' sight.
He saw in front of him that the outline of the body of the "Purifying Sin Priest" Connor Luen was glowing with a faint golden light, and the golden flames began to dance in his eyes like flames.
This made Thomas feel a sense of tranquility and serenity in his heart, as if he were nestling next to a warm stove in winter.
……
This feeling didn't last long.
About ten seconds later, Connor's palm left Thomas's head, and at the same time he looked at Thomas and said:
"You're in luck, 'Thomas the Tank Engine.'"
"Although it is not clear what the real cause of your disappearance is, at least there is no ominous or cursed body on your body, and there is no perceptible foreign residue. You are safe now."
"It's just that your [Glory] blessing has indeed dissipated, but it doesn't matter. You are qualified to bathe in the Holy Light, and the sacred position of 'Saint Protector' will always be reserved for you."
"Thank you, Captain." Thomas thanked Connor.
After thinking about it, Thomas asked Connor:
"So...what should we do now, what can we do, captain?"
"..."
"I don't know." Connor shook his head.
But his words did not stop abruptly, but continued:
"Because what happened to you has no precedent even in the entire 'Holy Court', we can only treat it conservatively and observe it for a while."
"But don't worry, Thomas. Through the inspection just now, I can confirm that you are safe and will not be in any danger."
"..."
Connor repeated this sentence again, as if "safety" was the most important point in his opinion.
After Thomas nodded in response, Connor continued:
"As for the question you just asked, what you should do or can do now..."
"According to the decree given to us by the bishop, he hopes that you will start from the original priesthood, that is, to follow the path of 'church patrol' again."
"Your salary will still be the same as it was when you were the 'Saint Protector'. When you complete the promotion of [Glory] again and become a transcendent of the 'Second Life Path' again, you can officially return to the 'Saint Protector' ''s post."
"Okay, Captain." Thomas nodded, "I understand."
The moment Thomas finished speaking.
Brand-new content once again appeared on his panel——
[Completed the mission: Bishop’s Blessing (Normal)]
[You have returned to the church. After passing the inspection of your status by the church clergy, you can return to your sacred position. 】
[Task settlement in progress...]
[Completion rewards obtained: Basic experience +3000, free attribute points +3, [Glory] destiny skill: "Brilliant Engraving" skill knowledge*1]
【……】
——The commissioned task [Bishop’s Blessing] is completed!
After agreeing to Connor's return to the position of "Church Patrol", the panel popped up a prompt that the [Bishop's Blessing] mission had been completed, which made Thomas's eyes suddenly brighten!
The technical knowledge of [Brilliant Engraving] has turned into an invisible substance and poured into his mind. There are already more [Brilliant Engraving] skills in his panel - he can already choose between "trainee priest", "trainee priest", Choose one of the three professions of "Apprentice Paladin"!
Coupled with the newly added 3000 basic experience points and the 1000 experience points given by the Krypton experience gift pack at the beginning——
He has been able to directly upgrade his level from lv.1 to lv.10. If he can obtain the "Bronze Key" at this time, he can directly be promoted to the second level of [Glory] and advance to the extraordinary level!
After this series, return to the task, retain the position, retain the salary, retain the residence...
This is the starting benefit for their "Red Maple City Church" closed beta players!
Thomas thought excitedly——
Can other camps do it? ! !
