The quietly approaching players failed to attract the attention of the figures in the cave. After performing a ritual of unknown meaning, they stood up and approached the stone platform.
One of them gently picked up a baby and glanced greedily at the baby's fair and tender skin.
"What a young and energetic body..."
When he spoke, his voice was extremely old, and his face was as skinny as a skeleton. Under the bright lights that had stopped flickering at some point in the cave, he looked like a ghost.
His face, covered with age spots, looked flushed with feverish excitement.
…
"Let's do it!"
"The other brothers haven't come over yet, so we may not be able to defeat them."
The three players who came over first murmured quietly.
One of them, a burly man with unshaven beard, stood up suddenly without saying a word.
"The lives of NPCs in the game are not lives? I am going to kill these people today!"
As he spoke, the man jumped out suddenly, "You'll all die!"
Paladin's Oath of Vengeance level 3 feature - Channel Divinity (Oath of Enemy): You can take an Oath of Enemy, swearing to annihilate a creature you can see and within 10 feet of you, while using your channel power. Next
For 1 minute, you have advantage on attack rolls made against the creature until the creature is reduced to 0 hit points or falls unconscious.
The two companions behind the man had no choice but to follow closely, muttering curses.
"Gan! They are all possessed by the paladin, right?"
Sometimes, the characteristics of some professions in the game will in turn affect the behavior of players.
Give them a sense of role-playing.
Facing the sudden outburst of three people, several elderly residents affected by the blood frenzy also showed amazing fighting power.
"Be careful not to kill anyone. Master Poppy wants to be kept alive."
The City Lord's Mansion's bounty did not require players to pay attention to the bottom line when acting. Instead, Li Wen knew the player's style, and in order to prevent the players from wantonly slaughtering those aborigines who could still be saved, he specially added an additional condition.
"What the hell! Why don't you kill these bastards and keep them for the New Year?"
The tough guy of the paladin doesn't care, he just wants people to die when he says he wants them to die.
The battle in the cave was all caught up in the eyes of an indifferent gaze not far away.
The man with light green curly hair glanced across the cave, even when he glanced at the wailing babies on the stone platform, his eyes were indifferent.
It was under his gaze that the shadows surging from the corner began to slowly retreat backwards, and finally disappeared.
At the same time, even the noisy breeze that caused the flames to flicker stopped.
"The demon lords in the inner plane are all attracted to you. It seems that you are really to their liking..."
There was a mocking smile on the man's lips, "Every time something happens on the mainland, you guys are always eager to come out and get involved."
As he said this, the man didn't even mean to hate him at all.
After all, no matter how chaotic the human group is, what does it have to do with him?
Human beings are currently only half the masters of this continent, and he does not deny this.
But it's not because of how powerful they are. When talking about individuals, both elves and dwarves are stronger than humans, let alone their great dragons.
The human race is only relatively strong despite having a large number of people.
No one wants to be attacked by a group and cause embarrassment, and not every race is monolithic.
The current situation is just a short-term balance. In the green dragon's long life, this balance has been broken several times.
This time the balance will eventually be broken.
"But these chosen ones..."
The humanoid man transformed by the green dragon stared at the players in the battle, his eyes full of interest.
He still remembered the period when the Chosen One had just arrived. At that time, he was so weak that he could be stabbed to death with one finger.
At that time, in order to observe these special chosen ones, he went to the surrounding area where they were active to observe closely, but after discovering that they were still using the same things that were common on this continent, he lost interest.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, the strength of these chosen ones has improved rapidly, and now they are all close to reaching the threshold of the third level.
The most important thing is that no one can stop the progress of these chosen ones who will never really die.
It is true that I can face four or five human fourth-level professionals at the same time without falling behind, but what if I wait until these chosen ones collectively reach the fourth level?
This strange species is probably the number one problem that all powerful people in Gaia will need to worry about in the future.
Of course, it seems that these chosen ones are not monolithic. I have easily used some false rewards to trick them into doing things for me.
Therefore, the one who can compete with the Chosen Son is, after all, the Chosen Son himself.
From now on, it seems that these chosen ones should be regarded as the targets of the strategy.
…
In the morning, as Li Wen opened his eyes, the blood in his body began to wake up.
However, as suppression gradually became a habit and became instinctive, Li Wen found that he could mobilize more thinking resources.
It’s a new day, don’t waste time.
Of course, the faster the trip to the Blood Moon World, the better, so if the player's affairs are settled as soon as possible, he can go there without any worries.
However, as soon as he went out, he met an elf who seemed to have been guarding the door.
The tall, fair-skinned elf lady revealed her delicate and beautiful lineup from under the hood of her cloak, with a bright smile on her face.
"Master Li Wen, I'm here to invite you to the embassy for academic discussions. What you said last time was about the Karl simulator..."
After waiting for several days and seeing no movement from Li Wen, the elves could only put down their arrogance and take the initiative to attack.
However, Li Wen waved his hand and interrupted the other party, "No time."
How can he have time to calm down and study academics now?
Didn’t my previous plan to train the “Element Control” expertise come to nothing?
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
The arrival of the Moon of Madness disrupted all of Li Wen's original plans.
"ah?"
The elf lady looked at Li Wen's leaving figure in confusion and made a puzzled sound.
Arriving all the way to the plain outside the south of the city, Li Wen arrived at the meeting point agreed upon with the players during the mission.
But there was no rush to stand guard.
Time is limited, and Li Wen is too lazy to interact with each player individually to redeem mission rewards.
Things like checking the panel cannot be replaced for the time being, but things like redeeming rewards...should have been fully automated long ago.
The previous task interaction mode should also be changed.
The newly emerged method of imparting human talents just reminded Li Wen.
A specific ritual, or something like an altar for prayer?
Just like those believers who believe in gods use altars to offer sacrifices to gods in order to obtain divine will, Li Wen can completely imitate this behavior.
Especially when he is the creator of new things and teaches them to players, it is more of a grant of authority.
He didn't know if other people could redeem mission rewards in this way, but he might be able to.
The first attempt starts with the granting of human talent rewards.
So, let me first build a magic circle that looks mysterious but is actually useless... a magic circle.
After all, what matters is the authority given by the creator, not some natural magical power.
Having had the experience of setting up a teleportation circle with Julian before, Li Wen easily wrote down a circle of seemingly mysterious character structures in the language of a mage, and laid out the "Ultimate Magic Circle" on a circular piece of grass.
.
After being prepared, Li Wen arrived at the location agreed upon in the mission and quietly waited for the player's arrival.
Thinking about it, a day has passed since the mission was released, so some players must have gotten some useful information about the Lunar Son of Madness.
