Chapter 698 Target Locking
Duanmuhuai bumped into the red dragon, who screamed and fell to the ground, hitting the forest heavily. It shook its body desperately, trying to stand up and fight back. However, Duanmu Huai just hit it on the head with a hammer, and the head, which was bigger than Duanmu Huai, burst like a rubber ball and turned into a pool of blood.
“——————!!”
At the same time, melodious music sounded, and the vibrating sound waves turned into thunder that gathered in the air and exploded.
"Boom————!"
Along with the roar like an explosion, the scattered sound waves directly shattered the goblin team following everyone, shattering their bodies into bloody pieces. At the same time, the silver-haired girl fell from the sky, her fingers twitched slightly and stretched forward. I saw that the mountain giants who strode across the sea of fire suddenly changed their appearance - they passed through the sea of fire, roaring and rushing forward, and then their entire bodies separated from the waist, and the running legs of the lower body were completely misaligned with the upper body, and then they It fell into pieces in the fire like sliced ham.
"We...are saved??"
Gray stopped in surprise and looked behind him blankly—the army of nearly a hundred goblins, mountain giants, orcs, and even Githyanki and red dragons. Such an army could materialize in the blink of an eye. Was it destroyed?
Not only Gray, but also everyone else looked at each other, speechless. If it weren't for the burning forest in front of them, the corpses on the ground, and the smell of blood all over the place, they would even think they were dreaming.
Then, they saw a tall, dark figure slowly walking out of the flames.
The figure looked like a demon, the skull mark on the chest shimmered with golden light under the light of the flames, and the double-headed eagle on the shoulders was stained with blood.
But at this moment, seeing its existence made Gray extremely reassured.
However, the face of Ben next to him changed drastically.
"Lord Lord!"
He hurriedly knelt down and saluted the steel warrior in front of him.
"Lord?"
"Kneel down quickly, idiot!"
Looking at Gray who was stunned in place, Ben cursed and yelled in a low voice, then grabbed him and forced him to kneel down. In this era, the lord still had the power of life and death over his people. Of course, the styles of lords in each territory are different. For example, Alustriel, the lord of Silvermoon City, is easier to talk to.
But the Inquisition...it seems obvious that they are not good men and women.
"Okay, no need to bother."
Duanmuhuai glanced at the adventurers wearing Judgment Blade uniforms in front of him and waved his hand.
"I came here after getting the news. Well, your signal was sent in time... Okay, now who can tell me what happened?"
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Gray stood up hesitantly.
Now, it's time for him to show off.
"…………Hmm…………"
After listening to Gray's report, Duanmuhuai began to think in silence. Ogis and Mary had also finished putting out the fire in the forest and returned to his side, looking at Duanmuhuai.
"You're saying that the Githyanki used some kind of weird magic and the goblins and mountain giants stopped moving?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Lord, they seemed to have suddenly turned into puppets... They were still shouting at first, but suddenly they stood there motionless."
"Hmm..."
Duanmu Huai thought about it, and if that was the case, then there were actually many ways to achieve similar effects, such as the mind flayer's spiritual storm, or some magic, such as command shock, etc., which were very convenient for dealing with these low-level creatures.
But Duanmuhuai knew that things were not that simple this time.
There was only one reason - he looked at his system information bar, and there was no experience value displayed on it.
Yes, the system information shows that Duanmuhuai killed the red dragon and the Githyanki, Mary killed the goblins, and Ogis killed the mountain giants and orcs, all of which were recorded.
But the experience gained is 0.
Logically speaking, this is impossible. Even if the level difference between the two parties is too big, they should at least have the most basic 1 point of experience to gain. However, it is zero...
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so it can be seen that this incident is not normal.
And why Githyanki?
In Duanmuhuai’s memory, the Githyanki think very highly of themselves and rarely obey other beings. The so-called supreme god is some kind of thing. It just sounds like a fake name. No god would call themselves such a name. An embarrassing name, just like your nickname is Goudan. When you grow up, if you find that your nickname Goudan is recorded, it will definitely be embarrassing.
It seems that this matter requires investigation.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a decision.
"Ogis, inform Qianwei and ask her to send people to search the entire area here. If you find any clues about the Supreme God or something, report it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Sitting on Duanmuhuai's shoulder, Ojisi nodded.
"As for you..." After Duanmuhuai gave the order, he looked at the team members who were looking at him eagerly.
"You go back and rest first. You have completed your task well...Mary, write them down and give them to Mystrina together with the report. We will comment after the investigation is completed."
"Okay."
Mary took out her notebook, quickly wrote it down, and nodded.
Duanmuhuai reached out and patted Gray on the shoulder.
"Well done."
"Thank you, thank you Lord."
Gray was sweating profusely and felt that his mind was blank. When he saw Duanmuhuai turning to leave, Gray suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Please, please, Lord, is this cult very important?"
"Huh? Why do you ask?"
"Because Lord, you came in person..."
Gray didn't know what to say at this moment. He initially thought that the people who came were just the night guards. It wasn't until Ben reminded Gray that it was actually the lord who came. He thought that he must have met someone very important. Only when things happen, the lord will personally take action.
It wasn't until Ben twisted his back hard that Gray realized that he had made a mistake. This didn't seem to be a problem that he should worry about, but fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't care.
"Maybe, maybe not, in any case, you have triggered an interesting mission. As for whether it is important or not... you will know when the time comes."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers, and then a portal appeared out of thin air. Then he led the two of them into the portal, and it wasn't until the tall figure disappeared from their sight that Gray relaxed. tone——then he was kicked hard by Ben.
"You idiot! Who do you think you are? How dare you ask these boring things! Are you impatient?"
"I'm just asking...well, it's my fault."
Facing the angry Ben, Gray originally wanted to say something, but in the end he lowered his head. Indeed, what the big shots above want to do is not something that he, a small soldier, can care about.
But Gray still doesn't understand, what does the Lord mean by triggering the mission?
Of course Gray didn't understand that Duanmu Huai was actually using these teams as players.
There are often similar plots in games.
For example, the player initially accepted a mission, asking to investigate a manor, and then the player went there and eliminated the undead there - generally speaking, it ends here.
But if players are bored and rummaging around in it, they may find a mysterious secret room, and then find information from the undead props in it. When they report this information when handing in the task, it will be opened. The next new quest line, such as "Oh, adventurers, I didn't expect that there is such a secret behind this, we need to conduct further investigation..."
Then further tasks will begin, and players will continue to investigate in depth about this undead prop. Then they will discover a cult organization, then investigate in depth again, start a war with the cult, and report back after the battle with the mission props.
Then the NPC said "Oh my god, I didn't expect it to be that! It's really unimaginable..." Then Balabala told the players a bunch of so-called "sealed history", and then asked the players to go check the seal...< br>
Then the player went to check the seal and found that the seal was opened and the BOSS was missing. So next, the player's next task is to find the BOSS...
Of course, in the game, because we have to take care of the players' gaming experience, all this is done by the players. During the entire mission, no lord or king appeared like an idiot, until the BOSS finally came to the door, and they Players are asked to save the world.
After all, it’s a game, so that’s understandable.
But the reality is simply not like this.
It's like a few auxiliary police officers discovered important clues about drug distribution channels. Instead of transferring the case to the anti-narcotics brigade, a few auxiliary police officers were asked to solve the case. This is impossible when you think about it.
What Duanmu Huai is doing now is to let the Judgment Blade team play the role of players to attack porcelain and open up tasks everywhere. If it is just an ordinary task, then let them solve it by themselves. If it is an epic task, then he will be embarrassed and just grab it... This is not better than Is it much more convenient to just go around and activate tasks by yourself?
And the reason why he targets cults is also very simple. Cults mostly worship gods from the evil camp. Duanmu Huai now wants to find a few gods to practice with and give them some color. This is basically the same as He took the initiative and waited for an underground triad organization to be discovered. At that time, Duanmu Huai could lead the Inquisition and kick down the door...
Like now, Duanmuhuai has found an excellent target.
Githyanki.
Duanmu Huai's expression was very cold as he stared at the Githyanki corpse in front of him. He had not forgotten that he still needs to destroy three civilized races in his [Incarnate Disaster] to unlock the second stage. The Githyanki were obviously If this condition is met, they are aliens, evil astral creatures, and a threat to humans. This alone is enough for the Inquisition to exterminate them.
After confirming this, Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision.
"Let's go to the star realm."
Duanmuhuai said to Mary.
"The Githyanki kill humans and use them as sacrifices. This is absolutely intolerable. We must completely eliminate these aliens, leaving no one behind."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"They have to give me an explanation, otherwise, they don't have to explain."
