"The plan is successful, nine groups and ten groups, last hits and pick up equipment, the space is limited, no white equipment below level 5 is needed."
"Group 6, 7, 8, guard the perimeter, don't let anyone come over."
"Prepare groups one to five, and the main tank will launch the BOSS."
The dazed Sherlock suddenly woke up after listening to the strange commands. Realizing that he was falling, he subconsciously exerted force on his arms and grabbed the branch at hand. He twisted his body and sat on it again, holding his breath.
breathed
"Fortunately, I was resurrected in time." Sherlock watched several players walking under the tree, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and called up the adventure log to check.
System prompt: The player is affected by the funeral song and is making skill-related determinations.
System prompt: Intelligence determination failed, damage received increased.
System prompt: Perception judgment failed, damage received increased.
System prompt: After receiving 227 points of damage, the player dies.
System prompts: Corpse bug reincarnated, player resurrected.
"Here I go, it turns out that this group of people got the fifth-level group spell scroll on the forum." Seeing the system prompt in the player log, Sherlock recognized the famous fifth-level group spell scroll at a glance.
Spell Scroll: Funeral Song
Spell Category: Necromancy
Spell Level: Level 5
Spell effect: Harvest all lives within 1000 yards that hear the funeral song. Make two judgments on the lives affected by the spell effect, wisdom, and perception. Each successful judgment will cause 300 and 5% of the upper limit of the unit's health.
Magic damage, two successful judgments will cause an additional magic damage of 10% of the upper limit of the health of the 500 unit.
This spell scroll was said to be an entry reward for a mage who chose to specialize in the undead. Later, an unknown person posted the properties of this scroll on the forum, which caused a great sensation at the time.
This kind of advanced group spell itself requires a group of mages of high level to jointly release it. To cast an arcane seal on this kind of group spell requires the best among mages like Ms. Silver Moon Alustriel to do it. Currently, players
The only way to get something of this level is through the entry trial.
"Now it seems that the profiteer from Pompeii got it. Why did he come all the way back to Novice Village? But who bought this spell scroll?" Sherlock almost understood what happened.
As for why Sherlock can be resurrected, I really have to thank Luna.
Corpse Worm Ring (Excellent): Life recovery 1, Charm 3, additional skills: Corpse Worm Resurrection, usable times 0-1.
Note: Luna found it incredible that the three-tailed cat could be resurrected. She did not believe that the favor of Charis (goddess of cats and dancing) would be extended to these mindless creatures. Through research on the three-tailed cat, she successfully found them.
She was resurrected and made this ring, although it did not meet her requirements.
Thanks to this ring, Sherlock escaped death.
Sherlock happily looked at the corpses on the ground around him, as well as the demonized tree spirit BOSS and the group of mysterious players who were fighting fiercely in front of him, and whispered: "It seems that my plan has gone more smoothly." Then he organized it again.
own plan.
In fact, speaking of it, the behavior of this group of mysterious players is no different from that of Sherlock. They are all robbing the BOSS. However, this group's approach is more brutal. With a funeral song, all the mobs in the lair were cleared, and the entire scene was cleared.
It would take at least 6 hours to wait for the dead players to resurrect and then rush over, and killing the BOSS twice would be enough.
Moreover, although the equipment dropped by the players is not valuable, it is still not a small amount after adding the base of thousands of players. Adding the drops from the BOSS, Sherlock roughly calculated that the group can still make a lot of money by deducting the money to buy the scrolls.
One stroke.
Sherlock had been ready to give this game a try before, but he never had a clear idea. He was afraid that he would invest all his money and end up losing everything, so he never really let go.
The behavior of this group of mysterious people today can be regarded as teaching Sherlock a lesson. The bold ones will be beaten to death and the timid ones will be starved to death. This principle is equally applicable in the game. Taking on commissions every day is to earn hard-earned money. Don’t go out while you are young.
If you don't take risks, you won't be able to turn around in your life.
"Hey, I have to thank you for showing me the way, but I'll help others to the end and send the Buddha to the west. You should also pay for the travel expenses." It's better to snatch the BOSS from dozens of people than from thousands of people.
It's much easier to grab. After all, the more people there are, the greater the variables.
Sherlock rubbed his hands and summoned his natural partner
"Bobo, Bobo"
Following Sherlock's call, a Bobo appeared in front of him.
Bobo is Sherlock's only natural companion. He didn't bother to name him, so he just called him Bobo.
Bobo (Bobo)
Level:3
Attack power: 2
Skill: Sound Wave - Bobo can release unique sound waves, causing slight damage to enemies, and can detect nearby creatures and terrain.
Bobo is a very common wild monster in Novice Village, and it is also the only flying pet Sherlock can catch. A first-level natural companion can only form a contract with a small animal.
Most druids in this area will choose three-tailed cats, green-scaled lizards, etc., which can either deal damage or resist monsters. His original animal companion is a three-tailed cat, but after reaching level 10, in order to find the wild BOSS more conveniently,
He released it and replaced it with the current Bobo.
Although Bobo has no attack ability, in terms of functionality, Bobo is definitely better than other animal companions. Although the skill Sonic has no attack power, it can be perfectly competent in grabbing BOSS, exploring paths, finding monsters, and being vigilant. Sharing the field of view is a god.
The viewing angle is like a bug, although Sherlock himself is not very good at using it. The only pity is that Bobo is too small to carry people.
"Bobo, it's up to you whether to eat meat or drink northwest wind this time."
Sherlock looked at Bobo on his arm and warned again: "Later, you fly over and shoot sound waves at the demonized tree spirit. Be sure not to hit other people. Do you understand?"
If monster players in the Forgotten Realm do not contribute in killing monsters, they will not have the right to distribute the explosive things. Therefore, Bobo’s sonic skill is a good tool for grabbing monsters. In the past five days, Sherlock did not know how many monsters he grabbed using this method.
The BOSS was defeated several times, although the number of times it was finally defeated was not high.
Because except for the highest contribution and the final kill, which are the first and second priorities, other allocation rights will 100% be dropped if the item dies within one hour of being dropped.
Bobo nodded his head twice, spread his wings and flew towards the BOSS.
"This AI is really high." Sherlock had to sigh again at the AI of the Forgotten Realm NPCs. Even a player's animal companion can understand some simple logical commands of the player, let alone other human NPCs.
Shared vision! When Bobo flew over the demonized tree spirit BOSS, Sherlock immediately activated the companion skill of his natural partner to share vision.
Shared Vision (Level 1)
A druid can share vision with his natural partner, and players can choose to switch to their partner's vision or have both their own and their partner's vision.
Vision sharing is a basic skill for druids, and it is also one of the skills that druids must master, especially the latter state. In fact, Sherlock has been practicing this skill since he learned it, but he still cannot use it in combat.
Completely master the second state, but in non-combat state, the two perspectives can still be mastered.
Viewed from above, this group of mysterious players is about fifty people, and the number of people fighting the BOSS is exactly five teams of 25 people. The team configuration is also very reasonable, 4 warriors, 2 druids, and 3 rangers.
And what is unimaginable is that Sherlock discovered that all 25 people have passed the entry trial. It is not that the number of players who have officially joined the job is small, but that most of the players who have joined the job at this stage are sprinting for the 10-player dungeon at level 10.
Especially for various unions and studios, it is obvious that such an organized, disciplined and heavily invested action cannot be organized by individual players.
"Toren, prepare to retreat, Luke, transform into a bear and go up."
"Norman is ready to guard, the priest keeps the others alive."
"The mage and warlock should control their output, and Colin will report his blood volume again."
"Parker, there is less than half health left."
A lot of budget had been made in advance, but after hearing the reply from the thieves in the team, Parker was relieved to know that the team got through half of the BOSS's life without any damage. This was their studio's first operation in the Forgotten Realm, and it was also his first
He independently commanded the team to fight, and he did not allow any mistakes in this operation.
"It seems that this human warrior named Parker should be the commander. He looks a bit handsome, but he has definitely improved his appearance and is a pretty boy." At this time, Sherlock obviously forgot that when he created the character, he saw
The moment I adjusted my appearance, I raised my overall appearance to the upper limit, and continued to hint that my appearance was also an important factor in accepting orders.
"No, Bobo, hurry up and raise the flight altitude." Sherlock immediately remembered something a second after he finished complaining. He was now observing from Bobo's bird's-eye view. Under normal circumstances, he could not see the players on the ground.
It's shameful, unless they raise their heads, and it's not normal to see a bobo hovering in the sky at this time. After all, the funeral song just now was used to kill people and monsters.
In fact, it was Sherlock who was careless. After Bobo released the sound wave, he forgot to let it raise its flight altitude. Unexpectedly, he was almost discovered by the other party.
Sure enough, after a while, Sherlock saw from the player's perspective that the human warrior named Parker raised his head slightly, then looked around and then lowered it again.
"Nine groups and ten groups, search the surroundings carefully to see if there are any hidden players."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" someone asked immediately after seeing Parker's order in the team channel.
"Nothing, just search again just in case."
Without Bobo's surveillance, Sherlock did not hear the conversation above, but looking at the rangers not far away who were constantly releasing reconnaissance and detection techniques, he roughly guessed that Bobo's behavior had aroused the suspicion of the commander.
However, it is obviously impossible for the ranger at this stage to aimlessly search for a motionless druid in the forest.
Traceless Steps: Druid leaves no traces on natural terrain and cannot be traced.
When he first learned about the passive nature of this profession, Sherlock went on the forum to complain about the useless nature of this passive. However, as players gradually understood the settings of the Forgotten Realm game, many skills that players originally complained about as useless were gradually replaced.
Developed into a magical skill.
Because of its high level of fidelity and artificial intelligence, the game Forgotten Realm can no longer be viewed according to previous game experiences. For example, the skill of Traceless Steps, because it cannot be traced, the druid hides in the forest.
You won't be detected by reconnaissance techniques while inside.
Another example is the bard's passive skill of being good at negotiation. Because the NPC's high intelligence allows the negotiation skill to be maximized, you can even discuss the task difficulty and rewards with the NPC. Of course, if the charm is too low, you should not try it.
When he discovered that these rangers had no special skills or props to find him, Sherlock refocused his attention on the lair boss.
It is not particularly difficult for a team of 25 players to defeat a lair BOSS, and these people are obviously well prepared. After killing 2 warriors, 1 druid, 3 tanks and a few crispy DPS,
, entering the final stage of concentrated fire output.
The result was no surprise to everyone. The demonized tree spirit BOSS with remaining health finally fell to the ground after a fireball and exploded with a pile of equipment.
Sherlock has been waiting for this moment. The spell scroll in his hand is all sweat from nervousness. He feels that his hand speed has never been so fast after practicing for 25 years. There is only one chance.
