Chapter 634 Late Night Raid
The Black Oak is a well-known hotel in Waterdeep City. It mainly entertains some quite wealthy guests. In fact, at first, Kasim and Luo Xia did not plan to stay in such an expensive hotel, but Duanmu Huai suggested that they give it a try.
"Think about it, you won't always be in a crisis to save a city. Maybe you only have one chance to stay in this kind of hotel. Wouldn't it be a big loss if you don't experience it?"
In the end, Kasim and Rosia agreed to live here. Just as Duanmuhuai said, they were just adventurers and might die in the next adventure. There is nothing more unlucky than leaving without having enjoyed life before you die.
The guest rooms at Black Oak are very luxurious and noble, but for Duanmuhuai... they are naturally on the small side as always.
"Although I don't expect the level of a royal suite in a five-star hotel, is it too much to lay carpets on the floor?"
Duanmuhuai rolled on the floor silently, and then complained to Ogis sitting next to him. Of course, the carpet beneath him was completely handwoven and had magic that made it feel comfortable and warm, but that still didn't change the fact that it was just a blanket covering the floor.
"I thought Master you were used to it."
"That's why I don't like to go out. These things are customized for ordinary people and are not suitable for me at all."
Duanmuhuai frowned and complained, then looked at Ojis.
"Speaking of which, Ogis, how do you feel about coming out this time? Is it fun?"
"Average."
"Not fun?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Ojis blinked and moved her eyes from the book to Duanmuhuai.
"As long as I'm with the master, I can do it anywhere."
Then, she said this.
"That's not really a good answer."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders. He actually didn't like this answer. Although it sounded like a confession at first, it generally meant that the other party was not very interested in the environment in front of him. He was just here because he was here. no problem.
This is like praising a woman for being cute - this is a compliment that cannot be praised and can only be covered up with this word.
"Don't you like it here?"
“I don’t know………………”
Ogis tilted her head.
"The master seems to be enjoying himself very much."
"Every time I go to a new world it is an adventure. I am a judge and an adventurer. To be honest, different civilizations and different environments always make people feel interesting."
After all, players are like this, new maps, new tasks, new forces, and new adventures. These will make players feel excited and interesting, even Duanmu Huai. He has been to Waterdeep City before in the game, but he has not visited every place. If possible, Duanmu Huai even wants to enter every door to see It'll be interesting to see what's behind it...
"But...aren't the essences of many things the same?"
"The essence is indeed the case, but for us, the essence is not actually important. What is important is to enjoy the process."
Duanmuhuai stretched and yawned.
"Look, for example right now, no one would have thought that someone would attack this hotel."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards the window. The next moment, a black drow elf was caught in his hand and slowly emerged from the air. He stared in surprise at the person in front of him. Duanmu Huai seemed to have no idea why the other party could discover his existence.
"Drow, when I see you, I think of those damn Dark Eldar... just as ugly, lowly, and troublesome."
Duanmuhuai stared at the drow assassin in front of him, his eyes shining with cold light. At this moment, the drow elf felt extremely fearful. His right hand moved slightly, and then the darkness created by magic quickly covered the entire room. House, but Duanmuhuai just exerted a little force, and the darkness disappeared in the next moment, and then the body of a drow elf with a broken neck was thrown aside by him.
"Forget it, it's not bad to move your body before going to bed."
Duanmuhuai stood up as he spoke.
For the drow, darkness is their protection.
Through the secret passage, the drow came to the surface quietly. They shuttled through the streets like shadows, but the soldiers responsible for guarding were unaware of their existence-until their throats were cut. The dagger scratched, and even the body disappeared into the dark corner.
The martial arts master led this operation, which he was already familiar with. Although Waterdeep City has extremely powerful spellcasters and warriors, the drow are not afraid of them. Even the most powerful wizards have difficulty penetrating the bottomless abyss of the Underdark. They couldn't even reach the drow city. As the martial arts chief of the first family, he had led soldiers to attack other families several times. Compared with the tight protection between the drow elven families, this kind of vigilance of humans was not enough for the drow. In the eyes of elves, it is simply not worth mentioning.
The Black Oak is just an inn. Although it also has guards and mages on guard, they are no match for the battle-hardened drow. Their throats have been cut and the bodies have been hidden. If all goes well, perhaps the people in Waterdeep City will not notice anything strange here until tomorrow morning.
If all goes well.
"Boom!!"
A giant hand suddenly penetrated the wall and hit the martial arts master. As the martial arts master of the first family, the latter hurriedly raised the rapier in his hand to try to block the sudden attack. However, the next moment he saw the giant hand directly hit his body, knocking the martial arts master away. Got out.
The martial arts commander only felt the wind whistling by his ears, and then there was a violent impact on his back. The blow was enough to break all the bones in his body, but he still gritted his teeth in pain and stood up. Then he saw a The extremely tall figure strode across the other side of the wall and walked towards him. And in his hands, he was holding two limp corpses of drow elves.
"You humble reptiles, you really found a good time to cause trouble."
Duanmu Huai sneered and looked at the drow in front of him, who clenched his rapier and stared at him. At the same time, several drow soldiers appeared from all directions and surrounded Duanmuhuai. They raised their crossbows, and the dim dark purple on the top of the crossbow did not shine at all under the light. "Originally, according to my style, you will die very happily, but just in time, I plan to try a new fighting method..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai raised his hand.
"Let's use you as the first batch of test subjects."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand.
Invisible magic waves suddenly erupted and spread out with Duanmu Huai as the center. The next moment, all the ordinary clothes worn by the drow were seen falling off. Only the magic breastplates on the chest and waist were still on the body. This made the drow The elven warriors were very surprised. They looked at their bodies subconsciously, as if they wanted to figure out what happened.
However, this is just the beginning.
The overwhelming feeling that was so strong that it exploded seemed to penetrate the brains of the drow warriors at this moment, causing them to lose all their strength. These drow warriors have received rigorous training. They can endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure, but joy is completely different. Almost no one can resist the joy of this innate life instinct, and their will begins to collapse. , dissipate, and even feel that my soul is about to float into the clouds.
But it only lasted less than a second.
Bone-cold fear instantly controlled their bodies and minds. Their wills, which had been shattered by joy, were completely unable to resist the sudden fear. The drow warriors stared at Duanmuhuai with their eyes wide open in horror. But then, something more terrifying happened - they saw that everything around them seemed to begin to deform and twist, and even their own appearance changed. The skin began to dissolve, the bones began to fall off, and the surrounding walls were covered with growth. Countless tentacles shot out, and they suddenly stretched out and tightly wrapped around the bodies of the drow warriors.
Then, on the suction cup part of the tentacle, a bloody mouth opened, and a cold sight like a dead fish emerged from inside.
While looking at that eye, the spirits of the drow completely collapsed.
"Very good!"
Looking at the drow elves lying beside him, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction.
This is the experiment that Duanmu Huai has always wanted to do after getting the Pink Book - or in other words, after getting the Pink Book, Duanmu Huai finally understood that the power of the God of Joy is more powerful than he imagined.
Although fear and pain are terrible, they can be resisted with training. However, pain and fear can be overcome through training, but no one will actively resist joy, because the instinct of life is enjoyment, which is the highest pursuit of life. Happiness is the source of life, so joy cannot be suppressed. Resistant.
This is also the reason why undead creatures lose their happiness. They give up their lives and become undead monsters, so they also lose the ability to taste joy.
That's why Duanmu Huai wanted to do an experiment, and now, this experiment has been successful.
He opened the system panel and looked at the content displayed on the intelligence information column.
[Players perform group bliss]
[Drow warriors resisted the Mass Bliss Technique—resistance failed, Willpower -3]
[Drow warriors fell into a ‘brief trance’ state]
[Player casts fear aura]
[Drow warriors fell into a 'short trance' state and were unable to resist the aura of fear]
[The Drow warrior fell into a state of 'terrible fear'! 】
[Players exert the will of the old gods]
[Drow elf warriors fell into a state of 'short trance' and 'frightened', unable to resist the will of the old god]
[Drow Warrior SAN Value -30]
[Drow warriors fell into a state of 'insanity']
[Drow warriors acquire the status of ‘short trance’, ‘frightened’ and ‘insanity’, unable to resist the aura of fear]
[The drow warrior dies immediately! 】
[Players gain God of Joy experience +1, God of Destruction experience +1, Old God Will experience +1]
very good! Very smooth!
Looking at the intelligence information in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction.
Use [God of Joy]'s [Pink Magic] to break the opponent's will, then use [Old God's Will]'s [Spiritual Pollution Defense] to completely destroy the opponent's resistance, and then use [God of Destruction]'s [Fear Aura] to completely destroy the opponent's resistance. Kill each other.
In this way, by using the power of three gods at the same time, you will naturally gain three experience points.
This is killing three birds with one stone!
The only pity is that the scope of [Group Bliss Technique] is too narrow, but if it is strengthened with divine power...
Hmm... It seems that this underground journey will be a good experiment.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai looked away from those twisted and mutated drow warriors, then turned and left.
For him, it's time to get a good night's sleep.
