Shadow Covenant

"But entering this time, the risk will be very high! Are you sure you want to go in?"

Nightmare difficulty does not refer to upgrading the blood volume of monsters and strengthening the ability of dependents in a general sense, but refers to the fact that the current area has raised several challenge levels for some reason.

Just like the Fairy Wilderness and Shadowfall Underworld will gradually merge with Asenland after the gods are completely disconnected, the difficulty of traveling on the mainland will increase by five challenge levels out of thin air.

This is why it was said that at that time, in most areas of Asenland, even the wilderness within five kilometers outside the city was extremely dangerous, and if you were not careful, you would have to start all over again. Spent in missions in the city's sewers and alleyways.

In "Saint", the difficulty of the dungeon changes with dynamic changes. For example, if you plan to rob the dragon's lair, then normally, except for the blue dragons that live in groups, the normal configuration of most dragon lairs is a dragon plus It's a mess, the average level of the dragon is about 5 lower than the dragon's challenge level, and luckily there may be a few baby dragons attached to it. This is a normal dungeon challenge configuration. If it is a hard mode, then you may be in the center of the lair I saw two giant dragons mating, or visiting. As for the difficulty of nightmare, it is probably because Tom gave a concert or the eyes of the gods came to this lair. Your rash intrusion angered the gods. level.

"Could it be that Feathered Serpent God has awakened? Is this the reason for raising the level?"

Woody secretly speculated in his heart that Woody actually didn't know much about this demigod.

After all, he doesn't believe in it, and he doesn't intend to target this demigod. Most players' understanding of him is limited to the praise of him in the copy of the Lost Temple. Not long after, He appeared in the Golden River Valley and listed Jingsong Forest as a forbidden area. The hidden missions there had not been discovered by many players, and the corrupt mother tree dragged a long comet trail to descend on this barren plane.

However, judging from living sacrifices and curses, this deity is definitely not easy to get along with. Although some of it is made by his priests and believers, whether it is to revive the gods or steal his authority, this way On the plane of Terra, there is no doubt that they will be classified as lawful evil.

"High risk?"

Cecil looked at Woody's serious face, knowing that he wasn't kidding herself, she chewed the word in her mouth and asked.

"How tall is it?"

"Probably there will be a spellcaster of the same level as you."

Woody added thoughtfully.

"A spellcaster who can cast eight-ring spells?"

Cecil was taken aback, subconsciously making a comparison with himself.

"To be precise, it is a priest who uses divine power."

Woody corrected.

"Maybe it will be higher, but it should not exceed Legendary."

I don't know when, the setting sun has been hidden under the mountains, leaving only a ray of light from the sky to reflect the edge of the sky, and the darkness and shadows return to the forest, which also makes the red runes flashing on the granite arch match the Woody's words were extremely dazzling and terrifying.

Everyone was silent, and the old ranger Kaverman, who was once the king of advanced hunting and had 11 professional levels, made a suggestion.

"Since Brother Woody said there is a problem, shall we enter later?"

Cecil didn't respond, he seemed to be thinking about something, but Doni asked Woody why he knew so clearly.

Woody's answer is also perfect, and I heard it from other people.

Even if this sentence is judged by detecting lies, it is still true. After all, he did learn from the tragic experience told by an unknown player in the forum, how terrible the Lost Temple on Nightmare difficulty is.

And the spirit of nature asked Woody at this time.

"Do you know of other ways to get in?"

Obviously, compared with the danger, he cared more about how Woody knew the hidden plane of Jingsong Forest and how to enter it.

Woody explained again with the same reason, and the spirit of nature also believed this statement. After all, River Valley City has not existed for a long time, and the ruins in Jingsong Forest are said to have a history of nearly a thousand years. Asenland has other People who know the place are also possible.

"Then how do you get in? If you just close the fog, the risk shouldn't be too great. Cohen has also met other people in it, and their attitude towards Cohen is not as bad as you said."

As for the danger Woody said, as a person who has personally been to that place from Cohen's first-person perspective, the Spirit of Nature felt that he was a bit alarmist.

"I still maintain my opinion."

Woody was fully vigilant against any dangerous behavior, and did not believe that there was really no danger because of the words of the spirit of nature, otherwise, wouldn't the blood of the predecessors be shed in vain.

"Then what do you think?"

Cecil suddenly looked at Woody.

"Are you planning to enter now, or wait until the so-called risks subside and return to normal before entering?"

The eyes of the young mage are as still as still water at this moment, making it impossible to see what is going on in her heart.

"If I go in alone, I'm sure I'll get out."

Woody's assertion is not because of ego, but because the "Saint" strategy has only one life, most players sometimes pursue not infinite power, but how to survive in dangerous adventures, although Woody's current professional level is not high, but his original purpose of coming to the Lost Temple was just to use the Ascension Ceremony to increase the upper limit of his soul, lay a solid foundation for the next step of forging the soul, and let the advanced disaster The speed of the blade can be increased a little bit.

The Lost Temple can be done or not. After all, the benefits are high, but the risks are also high.

He hasn't lived enough in Asenland for the time being, and he still wants to take a look at other planes. At least in this life, he wants to go further.

After Woody finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Even Cecil looked at Woody very complicatedly. If it hadn't been for such a long time, she would have laughed at her if she hadn't been together for so long. After all, Woody's current His strength seems to be at the bottom of the team. The main reason why Cecil respects him is his knowledge. His teacher, the leader of the Thousand Towers Society, and the Queen of Winter in the North The secondary thing is that strength really doesn't rank high.

And at this time, it was this person who was not strong enough, who actually said words that would slow them down in front of everyone, who would be angry.

Woody also noticed the weird atmosphere in the air, knowing that they might have misunderstood, so he explained helplessly.

"There are too many people and I can't guarantee your safety. If I'm alone, I'll sneak in and they won't be able to find me."

Woody's current stealth skill point is 87 points. Combined with the 10-point bonus of Nature Walker, 1 points of Shadow Asylum, and the +150 skill level of Enze "Outstanding", his stealth points can be piled up to [-] points directly. (Expert) level, no matter which level the dungeon is at, as long as you don't actively touch the real guards, gain insight into invisible creatures, and next to the building, you don't have to worry about safety issues at all.

Listening to Woody's explanation, Cecil didn't know whether to be angry or laugh now, she said helplessly.

"But I also know the invisibility technique. In this regard, even the most skilled thieves cannot achieve invisibility out of thin air."

Apparently, she was quite annoyed by Woody's talk about sneaking in, emphasizing the importance of not forgetting the caster.

But how could Woody forget Cecil's power as a high-level mage, only to hear him reply speechlessly again.

"Didn't I tell you that there is a dead magic area inside, if you use spells rashly, are you sure you can bear the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, Cecil's expression froze.

Oops!

Forgot about this matter, if he said so, what he said did have some truth.

But Cecil still didn't give up, she replied.

"Then it's impossible for the entire half-plane to be a dead magic area, otherwise the plane would have withered long ago. Without the nourishment of magic power, how would the plane grow and spread?"

"Indeed."

Woody didn't refute Cecil's words, but explained.

"But when you release the spell, people will perceive it. How strong is the detection of magic power in the place where the dead magic area exists? Didn't you try it when you were training as a mage?"

Woody remembers that there will be a dead magic area in the Thousand Towers dedicated to training mages. The purpose is to simulate the performance of spellcasters after the spell slots are used up. This item will be recorded in the graduation assessment results.

After all, real mages never stick to magic, they show their wisdom to solve problems.

"I have a way to avoid it, you can rest assured!"

Cecil said it with confidence.

"Then you mean to enter?"

"You're all in, why should I be afraid, don't underestimate the determination of a spell caster, and I don't have time to wait any longer, I have to go to Rosent as soon as possible, besides, can you close the fog alone?"

Hearing Cecil's series of words, Woody was also silenced, because it was true, he really didn't know how the fog surrounding the Golden River Valley dissipated, and he didn't know how to solve it. Judging from the tone of his voice, it is obvious that he must go before the fog will disappear. Cohen obviously has a deal with some creatures in the Lost Temple, as evidenced by the curse that permeated the bodies of the knight guards.

"So let's enter together, life or death, everything depends on fate, and fate is now in our own hands, fear and timidity will be the stubborn stones on the road to success."

Cecil said that he didn't know which famous quote from a book to encourage morale, but everyone present knew that everyone had a reason to go, and retreating now would only frustrate one's own heart in the end.

Woody will not give up the ascension ceremony at his fingertips due to the increase in the difficulty of the dungeon, and Cecil will not choose to wait for time and retreat because of difficulties. As for Kaverman, half of his body will be buried in the ground. His only wish was to find some traces of his wife. He had long since ignored death, especially the spirit of nature. He never felt that plane was dangerous, at least for him, it was not dangerous at all. .

"Then let's go, you leave after the fog is lifted, and I won't go back with you."

"This time I must find Rhea. I was thinking 50 years ago, if she hadn't disappeared at that time, what would I be like now."

Kaverman's voice carried memories of the past, but his hands kept moving, and he applauded.

"Let's go, children, if there is really danger, I will stay and buy you time."

Kaverman was so calm, even the extremely proud bronze dragon girl couldn't help but feel a little admiration at this moment, she sighed in their hearts.

"This is why the metal dragons have been observing humans for thousands of years and can't get tired of looking at them! Human beings have such a short lifespan, but they can breed diamond-like qualities that giant dragons cannot evolve for thousands of years."

"It is precisely because it is short that I want to be wonderful."

Cecil looked at Kaverman, his expression was not too moved, and he replied calmly in his heart.

And Donnie is obviously a little dissatisfied, this means that if you live a long life, you don't want to be wonderful.

"You guys are just bored."

She obviously didn't agree with this point of view, but what she didn't expect was that Woody's reply was even more shocking.

She could only nod perfunctorily in agreement with Cecil.

Woody just thinks that metal dragons are pure fun dragons, looking for fun everywhere, and he's not talking nonsense, dragons are boring.

Just like the Bronze Dragon, for a human war decades ago, the time to gather and discuss far exceeded the duration of the war. Long life is a model of doing whatever it wants.

But for Kaverman's answer, Woody didn't know whether to be moved or laugh, he could only comfort him.

"Don't worry, if you all act according to my order, I believe that the problem should not be serious, and don't be so pessimistic, maybe something that will make you rejuvenate your joy of life will happen soon."

Woody naturally knew that if his wife Rhea did not expect it at this moment, she should have finished her evening prayers in the temple and was preparing to rest.

Now in the past, it is no surprise that Kaverman was the first to achieve his goal.

Naturally, Kafferman didn't know what was waiting for him, so he thought it was Woody's comfort, and immediately said with a relaxed expression.

"You are a good boy. What I said just now still counts. After all, death is nothing to be afraid of."

"..."

Seeing Kaverman like this, Woody could only sigh secretly in his heart.

"It seems that an embarrassing situation is inevitable, and he has really tried his best!"

"Let's go, where is the place where you can enter that place? As long as I can enter there, I will have a way to contact the person inside and ask him to take us to the place where we can get in contact with the release."

The Spirit of Nature interrupted at this moment.

Woody sighed after hearing this.

"Promise me, don't contact them, you describe the appearance of that place now, and I can take you there."
