Elden Clergyman

Although it is now mostly destroyed and looks empty and dilapidated, one can still vaguely make out some of its former glory just by looking at the ruins.

'The Eternal City' Noklongen.

This giant city, which embodies the wisdom of the Knox people and is one of their greatest masterpieces, appeared before Lord.

Then, after jumping out of the window, Lord began to move forward along the ruins of the buildings.

After a short period of exploration and jumping, Lord obtained an equipment called Spirit Fire Torch and collected some materials called Silver Teardrop Shells.

but......

Are there no monsters in this place?

After entering the Eternal City, Lord strolled around for a long time, but he didn't see any enemies, whether in the jumping area or in the open area where monsters should obviously be placed.

Could it be that they are like the people at the bottom of the Immortal Town of Soul One, who will suddenly appear from the front and back to attack him when he has advanced to a certain level?

Lord thought so and became more alert. He even walked to the edge of the terrain to see if there were any monsters clinging to the side that might climb up.

But nothing.

But in fact, he was right, because there should have been some monsters in this place, but now...

In short, after advancing anxiously for a period of time, Lord reached the first blessing.

Until he carefully lit it up, even suspecting that this blessing might be mimicry, nothing unexpected happened.

It's strange. There is not a single monster in such a big place. Could it be that Xiao Gao has changed his nature?

Or, what big thing are you planning...

Doubtful, Lord activated the blessing and continued forward.

After going out, a courtyard appeared in front of him.

Then he saw it.

The circular courtyard was covered with all kinds of dark brown fleshy things.

It was something completely different from the quiet environment of the Eternal City. It looked extremely disgusting and was still wriggling.

After noticing his arrival, the meat paste slowly condensed and formed a human-shaped, zombie-like monster, which attacked him.

He took a hit on purpose first, and after confirming the damage done by the thing, Lord jumped back and dodged the claws that were grabbing towards him.

Some zombies in the back seemed to have retained their sanity. They picked up bows and arrows from the ground and shot at Lord.

Lord took out a shield to block, then took out a double-edged knife, first killed the zombie in front of him, then rolled to avoid the incoming arrow, rushed over and killed the little zombie.

A very weak monster with low stats, slow movements, and even takes time to form.

But after solving the problem, Lord found something wrong.

That is, after killing these two zombies, his rune did not increase.

The two puddles of flesh lying on the ground were still squirming, and after a while, they returned to their original appearance.

Kill again.

The rune still did not increase, but the speed at which the meat was wriggling slowed down a little.

Resurrect and kill again.

This time, the two zombies finally fell to the ground and their figures slowly disappeared.

After seeing the kill reward, Lord's face turned green.

What a shit soldier.

Two resurrections, pitiful rewards, and no fun in the fight.

But this is just the appetizer.

After walking just a few steps, Lord encountered more of these zombie soldiers. It wasn't just one or two, but one or two groups at a time, with three or four in a group.

And after the battle begins, these things will roar to attract the attention of the surrounding zombies.

Although their movements were slow and their stats were low, they had two resurrections and a numerical advantage, which put considerable pressure on Lord, forcing him to fight while retreating.

It was during this battle that Lord discovered another shortcoming of the double-headed sword - it was not good at dealing with groups of monsters.

So, after a moment's thought, Lord replaced the double-edged sword with a katana.

The famous sword Yueyin.

This katana has an attack method, which is the horizontal slash, which can emit a very wide magical sword energy.

Although the damage of this thing is not that high in his hands now because of the added points, it has a fast attack speed and a good range, making it very suitable for clearing groups of monsters.

Then......

"I am an Iai--"

He first gathered the zombies together by moving around, and after getting into a good position, Lord turned into a combat repeater and began to repeat the horizontal slash, killing the pile of zombies in front of him like cutting wheat.

A moment later, with the disappearance of his two blue bars, the last zombie in front of him finally fell down.

What a shit...

After confirming that everything was resolved, Lord shook his head, then continued forward with the famous sword Yueyin.

Not long after walking, Lord saw a new monster.

It was a silver, slime-like thing that kept wriggling on the ground.

But this silver slime didn't seem to be in the same group as the zombies. When Lord saw it, these silver slimes were fighting with the zombies.

Although they are soft and look like a ball of jelly, these silver slimes can mimic various weapons, such as spikes or swords, to attack the zombies.

Just as Lord was about to go over to see what was going on, several purple things that looked like eyeballs or stars suddenly floated out from the side.

Then, after a short period of accumulating power, he used something like gravity magic to lift up the surrounding rubble and then smashed it towards the two warring parties.

Da da da da da——

The damage was not high, but it was extremely insulting, which immediately attracted the attention of both parties and started a three-way melee.

Seeing how lively the fight was on the other side, Lord simply didn't want to go over. He just sat down on the spot, took out some shrimp, and ate while watching.

"Hey, scratch it! Look, the slime's health bar is almost empty, just a hair's breadth away!"

"Do you know how to play slime? Raise your shield, raise your shield! Can't you mimic a shield? Raise the shield in front and release the needle in the back!"

"And that big eyeball, how come your skills are so big that they always miss? Do those two look like they can dodge? You're not good at prediction, are you?"

Then, amid Lord's sharp comments, the battle on the field gradually came to an end.

Because their movements were too slow and their stats were low, even with two resurrections, the zombies were the first to be defeated.

Then, facing those big eyes that could use gravity magic to smash stones, the silver slimes, which had already been consumed by a wave of zombies, began to be unable to resist and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

But just when Lord thought the battle was about to end, and put away the crab in his hand and was about to go over and take the tail, a blue light lit up.

It was a figure riding a spirit deer that was emitting a faint blue light. It looked like it was using an NPC module and was holding a bow in its hand.

The moment he came out, he saw the spirit deer leaping high, the figure pulling the bowstring, the light on it gathered, and then -

Bang bang bang.

The huge arrows carrying the power of the ancestral spirits pierced through those floating big eyes in an instant.

After falling, the silver slimes did not attack the figure, and it looked like they were in the same group.

Then, just as the figure was about to leave, she seemed to notice something and looked in the direction of Lord.

Lord did not hide anything and walked out openly.

"...a conscious and living person?"

After looking Lord up and down, she looked a little surprised, and then realized something.

"You...are from outside?"

"If you mean from the Junction, then I should be."

Lord nodded and looked at the figure riding on the road in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Is this person... a man or a woman?

Judging from his attire, he looks like a man, with a delicate face, but with some feminine features between his eyebrows and eyes. However, his chest armor makes him look like a man...

The figure noticed his gaze and raised an eyebrow, but did not hesitate.

Because right now, she has more important things to do.

"How did you get here? Can you return?"

"If you can return, or have a way to communicate with the outside world, please help me convey a message."

"Let's just say that the Deep Sleep Arrow is trapped in the Eternal City and a new type of pollution has been discovered. They are investigating and dealing with it, and they need support."

Arrow of Deep Sleep?

Lord felt like he had heard this name somewhere. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered something.

"Are you Dolores?"

Dolores was stunned.

"You know me?"

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."

I heard the name Lord when I was chatting with Nepheli. I heard that he was someone I knew before, and later he was tricked into drinking a potion that would make people lose their minds and turn them into puppets.

After the liar succeeded, she immediately escaped with her puppet and broke off completely with Baizhi.

But Lord had heard another version of what Seren said before.

According to Serlian's account, that was indeed what the liar had intended at first, but when he was pouring the potion, some fragments seemed to appear in the bottle.

Then no one knew what happened. After the potion was drunk, the Dolores people disappeared directly, and a monster appeared in their place, beating the liar half to death.

After finally escaping, the liar no longer dared to make any potions, and even developed a phobia of puppets. It seems that he is currently working for Lani.

Lord didn't know which statement was correct, and didn't care much at the time.

but now......

Lord thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Dolores in front of him.

"How about I take you to meet Bai Zhi?"

Dolores: “…?”

"Are you Baizhi's subordinate?"

"No, we're just colleagues."

After a brief exchange, although I suffered some mental torture, I still didn't understand what Lord said specifically.

But she at least understood what he meant, which was that he wanted to take her to the Round Table Hall to meet Baizhi and convey the message directly.

This sounded a bit outrageous. At least in Dolores's memory, there was no such method of teleporting directly to the Round Table Hall. Moreover, this person didn't seem very reliable...

But the problem is, from what he described, it seemed like he was indeed very familiar with Bai Zhi, and there were some details that I could never tell without having had in-depth contact with that guy...

After thinking for a moment, Dolores decided to trust him.

——The main thing is that this guy doesn’t look like he can deceive people.

"How do we get there? The Round Table Hall is quite far from here..."

"It's not far. We'll be there soon."

After saying that, Lord took Dolores directly to the Round Table Hall.

Baizhi's door was closed, but this time there was no seal on it. There was just a note on the door asking him to knock before entering.

In this way, Baizhi would know of his arrival and give himself some mechanized mind buffs in advance, thus avoiding being critically hit by a fool and having his brain crash.

This time, seeing that a certain fool did not push the door open directly, but followed the instructions outside the door and not only knocked on the door, but even asked if it was convenient for him to enter, Sir Baizhi inside the door also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the room was filled with flashes of various spells and prayers.

Baizhi's rejection, dulling of senses, mental protection...
