Chapter 364 [Limited Time Mission: Dark Haze]!
The "Bishop of Flame" Drummond, who had lost his fifth destiny... just died like that?
They players... and "Bishop" Luo Xiu must have been apart for less than an hour...
Another "bishop" just died?
Thomas was still a little confused. He couldn't help but look at the other players around him who were choosing weapons, and saw the same confused expressions on their faces.
This shows that other players have also received [Encounter with the Flame Bishop! 】Reminder that the task is completed, this is not because of my panel convulsions, but such a thing really happened——
"Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond...I was still wondering whether this would be the main boss...
Thomas thought to himself, and at the same time he opened the chat group of the "guards" of the Red Maple City Church.
The new messages were popping up like Gatling +1 and +1. In this short period of time, there were already more than ninety messages.
[Dangerous Building Listening to the Rain]: Damn it, have you received the mission completion notification? Is the Huanyan Bishop dead?
【Caigou】: Die...die...
[Crocodile Stewed in Iron Pot]: Very cool, experience +5000 - but who killed him? Is it our bishop?
[Thomas the Tank Engine]: It’s the bishop, right...after all, he also gave the mission?
[Thomas the Tank Engine]: I was still thinking before, 'The "Bishop of Flames" and our bishop are both "bishops", wondering who is stronger...
[Thomas the Tank Engine]: It seems that our bishop must be stronger than the monster (appreciation)
[Female living together]: You are not loyal!
【Alicia】: Indeed
[Human High-Quality Rereading Ji]: Indeed
【……】：……
Still chatting without a word, they confirmed that other players had received [Encounter with the Ring Flame Bishop! 】After receiving the reminder that the mission was completed, Thomas sighed in the group chat for a while and found that the other "Church Patrol" players had completely turned into bishops at this time.
"I recommend the bishop", "I think the bishop is still charming~", "Bishop, I want to give you a baby!!!" and so on, etc., also sprung up after a while of chatting. , Thomas also followed the conversation for a few words, and then he temporarily closed the chat.
The "Bishop" of the Red Maple City Church, Luo Xiu Carlos, is indeed very strong, which is a good thing for their players... Thomas thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up in pleasure.
This is the "leader" NPC - Thomas, a heavy MMORPG player, knows very well how important a strong camp leader is for a novice.
As for this "open beta" - Thomas was originally worried that there were better options besides descending on the "Red Maple City Fortress". After all, there were several initial choices from several players who were willing to disclose the information about their respective destinations. The place of arrival should be quite fragrant, but looking at it now - coming to "Red Maple City" again is the most correct choice I made in this "open beta".
Thomas felt quite satisfied.
But at this moment, because [Encounter with the Huanyan Bishop! 】With the completion of the mission, Thomas has accumulated nearly 6,000 experience points in his experience tank.
He has never fought such a rich battle... Thomas felt secretly happy.
He temporarily decided to store these experience points first.
I don’t know when the apostles of the “Holy Abyss” will appear during the open beta. If I can go to the Forsaken Royal Court again, I can learn a lot of skills and knowledge with these experience points.
Thomas thought about this.
He is now extremely eager to quickly complete some new church tasks, so that he can use his "merits" to redeem the "Bronze Key" that is the key to promotion to the second level of destiny, and officially be promoted to a transcendent.
But just thinking about it, Thomas then let go of these thoughts and focused on the selection of extraordinary weapons at present.
There were many extraordinary weapons suitable for the "Priest" profession in front of him. After several choices, Thomas finally chose a long-handled warhammer engraved with gold inscriptions.
It was a green quality weapon named [Saint's Hammer]. When held, it can greatly increase the "strength" and "divine" attributes, and it has inherent skill effects of armor breaking and penetration.
Its various attribute additions and the multipliers given by its inherent skills are higher than the original "Mithril Straight Sword", and it is more suitable for the "Priest" profession. Among the weapons on the display shelf, it is the most suitable for Thomas. .
Thomas then gently took off the war hammer engraved with gold patterns in front of him, weighed it until the weight was just right, and then took the war hammer to report to the cleric Videlian who was waiting at the door.
Seeing Thomas coming, Videlian nodded slightly and asked him:
"Have you made your choice? Thomas the Tank Engine?"
"Yes, I chose this."
Thomas said, holding the warhammer in both hands and presenting it to Videlian.
Seeing Thomas choose this extraordinary weapon, Videlian's face did not change much, he just nodded lightly and said:
"This is indeed a weapon suitable for you."
"Its name is [Hammer of the Saints]. It has been gloriously engraved by your priest, the 'Purification Patriarch' Howard, and has..."
"..."
Videlian introduced Thomas in detail about the characteristics of the extraordinary weapon in his hand. Most of these contents were already explained in the panel, but Thomas still listened carefully to Videlian's introduction.
After introducing these to Thomas, Videlian turned around, picked up a small money bag from the table beside him, and handed it to Thomas's hand.
"According to the bishop's decree, this is the stipend you deserve."
Thomas reached out to take it and weighed it with his upper hand. There were bulging coins inside, which were the ten gold coins that Bishop Rossiu Carlos had asked Videlian to give to their players after counting them.
"Thank you, Videlion."
Thomas thanked Videlian. He had already made up his mind to go to the "Forging Manor" to see if these ten gold coins could forge anything good. If it happened, he could also go and see another man. Is the closed beta player "Frost Moon" still there?
And Videlian just shook his head.
"There is no need to thank me. What you should thank is our Bishop Rossio Carlos."
"Thank you Bishop!"
Thomas then showed sincerity, and followed Videlian's words to express his heartfelt thanks to his bishop.
To be honest, whether as a "priest" of the church or as a "player" quasi-fourth natural disaster, he really likes this "bishop".
——Because he really gave too much!
……
After Thomas, the other "Church Patrol" players also selected their own extraordinary weapons and walked out of the room.
Just like when Thomas met Videlian, other clergy also reported to Videlian, and the cleric handed over the gold coins that the bishop promised to them at the same time to the players.
With the newly obtained equipment and gold coins in hand, the players were in a happy mood, and they then left the "Mission" under the guidance of Videlian.
The captain of the team, "The Big Crocodile Stewed in Iron Pots" told Videlian that they had just finished today's mission and had encountered a lot of things. They wanted to go back to their residence to have a good rest, so Videlian sent them out of the church.
On the way to the suburbs of Red Maple City and the church's villa manor.
"Old crocodile, what are we doing now? Are we really going back to our place?" Thomas asked the "iron pot stewed crocodile" who was wearing heavy Paladin steel armor next to him, watching him repeatedly playing with a huge two-handed weapon in his hand. Bladed battle ax.
[Paladin's Slash], the extraordinary weapon newly chosen by the predator from the Holy Treasure Hall, has a very concise and straightforward name.
That and the [Saint's Hammer] chosen by Thomas are both green quality weapons, but the [Paladin's Slash] chosen by the Iron Pot Stew Crocodile has higher attribute bonuses, and if you want to equip it, there are basic attribute requirements. It is also relatively higher.
The Iron Pot Stewed Crocodile has been promoted to the second life path of [Glory] and has almost all of his attribute points pointed at "Strength". His "Strength" attribute has just met the minimum requirements for the equipment [Paladin's Slash].
"Where to go? Hey, let's just take a walk."
The predator put back the double-edged battle ax in his hand, spread his hands and said: "We have no mission now. Today's duty has been completed, so why not explore."
"In that case," Thomas suggested, "why not go to the forging manor? We have just been issued ten gold coins. We can go to the [Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop] to forge some new equipment, as well as off-hand weapons."
"Off-hand weapon..."
The big crocodile looked thoughtful, nodded after a while, and said:
"Indeed. This game has the setting of dropping equipment upon death... It is indeed necessary to prepare some spare equipment in advance."
The predator recognized Thomas's proposal, and other players also agreed. The group of players immediately changed their route and walked in the direction of the [Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop].
But just when they walked out of the street where they were, they were still a long way from the dwarf blacksmith shop.
--boom! ! ! ! !
A huge roar suddenly came from the direction of the Red Maple City Fortress Wall!
Following the violent shaking of the ground, Thomas, Crocodile and other players were all a little unsteady on their feet.
The sky also dimmed at the same time, becoming much gloomier.
"What happened?!"
The player whose ID is "Caigou" was the first to shout.
Thomas, who vaguely felt what had happened, had opened the chat channel of nearby players——
【Zi Gan Doro! 】: Family members, guard the city wall, the dark army is coming!
[Steel Jaw Martial God]: WOC, this formation is exaggerated! There are red flying dragons in the sky, and... giants on the ground! Damn it, it’s a giant!
[Steel-jawed Martial God]: There are so many giants, they should be a legion!
[Little Horse Cart]: That's the 'executor'... I think I've seen that flag during the closed beta, three executioners!
【2.5夂五】: Will you win?
[Loser eats the dust]: We will win!
【……】：……
"...Huh?"
Looking at the dozens of messages that instantly refreshed in the chat channel, Thomas couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
And his panel also jumped shortly after the first roar, and showed the new mission content——

【……】
WOC, such a high reward!
After the panel was refreshed with the newly triggered limited-time mission [Dark Sky Haze], Thomas's eyes lit up!
He had noticed it keenly.
Compared with the limited-time mission [Red Maple City Decisive Battle] at the same time during the internal beta test, the difficulty of this time's limited-time mission has risen directly from "Nightmare Difficulty" to "Hell Difficulty"!
And the basic reward for completing it is nearly twice as high as during the closed beta!
——This is the time to live!
……
Red Maple City, Main Street, deep in Lane 36.
In the stronghold that originally belonged to "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond, the priests were carrying out the final cleaning work.
And Luo Xiu was waiting quietly at the core of the stronghold - Drummond's original ritual place. While guarding the riddled body of the "Bishop of Ring Flame" in front of him, he had opened the panel and paid attention to What are his players doing.
Until he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and instantly there were many more posts in the [Player Forum] about players witnessing the attack of the Dark Army...
In addition, his panel also popped up at the same time, triggering a twelve-hour limited time mission [Dark Haze (Hell Difficulty)].
"..."
"It's finally here..."
The moment you see a new task triggered.
Luo Xiu's eyes became deep, and a harvest-like smile appeared on his face.
Golden holy flames leapt out of his palms, and one corner of them burned towards the body of Bishop Huanyan, burying his last remains into ashes.
Then, he turned around and left.
