Chapter 233: Followers of the Goddess of the Night
The square is surrounded by mutated heather trees, and in the middle is a twenty-foot-tall white fruit tree. Two shadow-like branches twist and extend upward, like a skeleton struggling to lift its arms from the soil.
There are no leaves on the branches, only a strange red fruit.
Two human NPCs and five players were standing under the tree. These seven people seemed to have anticipated the arrival of Sherlock and others. Not only were they not surprised when they saw them, the leader actually let out a burst of pleasant laughter.
"Ember, you came just in time. Even if you are not rescued, I am ready to let you come and witness this miracle of nature." One of the NPCs wearing simple robes said to everyone.
It seems from the tone of voice that he must be the evil Druid Beric.
"Berrick, allowing it to develop freely is the true meaning of nature. You have violated the way of nature." Ember stood up, with an air of inviolable sanctity in his seriousness.
"Haha, everyone thinks I'm deviant just because I dare to enhance the power of nature in ways that a fool can never imagine. Ember, my dear friend, I thought you would understand me, but I didn't expect you still
Obsessed."
"The power of nature is not something you can guess, let alone change. All of this is just your delusion."
"Don't you think you'll know it right away?" Beric picked off the only fruit on the branch and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
"The fruit of life is made from the eternal fruit tree and the dream orchid. It represents both life and death. This kind of beauty is really hard to get rid of." As he said this, a strong feeling emerged from the druid's body.
The aura of death, and then black stripes continued to appear on his pale skin.
"With this kind of power, my idea is indeed correct. I am the one who has mastered the truth of nature, not you, Ember. I want everyone to know that the teacher's choice is wrong."
Listening to Berick's arrogant and somewhat accurate lines, Sherlock also knew that this battle was unavoidable. In addition to Berick, the druid, the opponent also had a priest NPC and 5 players.
Don't know where they come from.
"Nightfaller, according to the agreement, please take action, and you, Glenor, Choate, the time has come to show your value."
Although the two sides were separated by more than thirty yards, Sherlock still heard the priest NPC's instructions to the four players word for word.
In just thirty words, the information revealed is surprising enough.
The name Nightfaller is not something that ordinary people can call. If this is not the player's ID, then there is only one possibility. The other party is the priest of Shar, the goddess of the night, and he also has a title.
The origin of Shar, the goddess who represents darkness and destruction, can be traced back to the beginning of time. This indifferent goddess is also one of the most powerful gods. Her responsibilities are all-encompassing, so it is extremely difficult to become her believer.
In the words of players, if you don't get the S-level talent in the entry trial, you won't be able to see Sister Shar.
If Shar's priests are recognized by the goddess, they can obtain titles representing different levels, and Nightfaller is the lowest among them.
This title has a certain deterrent effect on most evil or neutral forces, so the first half of the NPC's sentence was obviously much more polite, but when he later ordered the two rogue players, his tone was obviously a little arrogant.
"Be careful, the priest on the other side is a follower of Shar, and the identities of the other two monks and two thieves are still unclear." Sherlock carefully reminded the others in the team.
"Boss Mu, the priest NPC is handed over to you. Taragon, you protect Ember, Yuyi, and Brother Frog. The remaining five players can only rely on us." Chicken Wings' on-the-spot adaptability is better than before.
This has already been shown in the command, and the battle plan was decided almost instantly.
In comparison, the priest NPC is a little more troublesome, but it seems to have no melee capabilities. It should not be a problem for the thief Muliuxi to contain the opponent.
On the other side, after Beric took the medicine, it was obvious that Ember could not deal with it alone. With Taragon's assistance, he could at least delay the attack for a little longer.
Finally, and the most critical thing is that the three of them must find a way to deal with these five players as soon as possible.
As the two druids, Ember and Beric, transformed into black panther forms one after another, the horn of battle was finally sounded.
For some unknown reason, these two NPCs unanimously chose to fight in black panther form. The same dark figure gave people completely different feelings. One was like a black hole, crazily plundering nearby life, and the other was radiating like the sun.
Shine your own light.
The confrontation between the two is a fight of flesh and blood, and also a game of nature.
Turning his eyes back to Sherlock, the closer distance between the two parties also allowed him to see the other party's situation more clearly.
The badges of the two thieves were a pair of dragon wings. This shape he had seen in the previous ten-man dungeon. It was the mark of the Dragon Worship Cult. Sure enough, there were so many dragon-shaped buildings in this castle, which definitely had something to do with the Dragon Worship Cult.
Inextricably linked.
The badges on the chests of the two monks are black disks with purple outer rings, which are the same as those of the priest. They seem to be followers of Shar.
As for the IDs of these three people, they were also seen by Hagoromo's mystical eyes. The priest Dayel and the two monks were Hunter and Hami Melon.
Both of these two monks have no equipment shirts, and their naked upper bodies are covered with exquisite tattoos. Hunter's body is covered with majestic ancient trees, and Hami Melon's body is covered with rolling mountains. This is the unique attribute tattoo of the Four Elephant Sect monks.
As mentioned before, after reaching level 20, the schools of each profession gradually become clearer, and this situation is particularly obvious for monks.
Because they were able to learn and master the use of Qi at level 20, the three sects also took completely different paths due to the existence of Qi.
Sanda sect is to condense Qi into one's own body, or to control Qi to heal injuries, or to penetrate the target's body through unarmed attacks, which is similar to the internal strength in martial arts games.
The Shadow Sect pursues the path of stealth and evasion, and they use chi in specific techniques, similar to assassins and ninjas.
The Four Symbols Sect can tattoo the attributes of its own energy on the body, such as a dragon coiled on the back, or such as fire phoenix, swimming fish, ancient trees, mountains, running waves, etc., with different effects.
For example, Hunter's Ancient Wood Seal can increase the upper limit of life, and Cantaloupe's Mountain Seal can increase natural armor.
Another point is that in order to give full play to the effect of tattoos, the monks of the Four Symbols Sect generally do not wear upper body armor, which is also one of their weaknesses.
