Chapter 199 The Ceremony Begins

Wang Zhifan, who had a strong premonition that there might be something wrong with the purification ritual mentioned by Baron Rogge, then walked up to Sandra and talked to her, reminding her in a subtle way that the purification ritual might be a scam or a cover, and asked her and the entire team to be careful. a little.

The reason why he did not speak too directly was because he did not have much prestige or presence in this task team. Everyone obviously trusted Baron Rogge. He, an outsider, directly said that Baron Rogge might have a conspiracy. It can easily lead to less than ideal consequences.

This is also because he is not 100% sure that something particularly bad will happen next. Maybe what Baron Rogge said is true, or half truth and half lies lead to a relatively good ending, and then he will be in the way. A clown.

What made Wang Zhifan a little speechless was that he found that Sandra, a female warrior, didn't know whether it was because she trusted Baron Rogge too much or because she was born with a brain that was not flexible enough in terms of language understanding. She simply thought that Wang Zhifan came to remind her to pay attention to the test accompanying the purification ceremony mentioned by Baron Rogge, and there was no doubt that Baron Rogge might have bad motives.

"Forget it... maybe my feeling is not right... but you still have to be cautious."

In view of this, Wang Zhifan stopped caring about others. He quickly walked outside the church and used a little shelter to complete the alternation between himself and the dream self clone. The dream self clone acted on his behalf here, and he himself activated the trick. The ability of Shadow Shoes reached far away by burrowing into the ground. He chose a rooftop in the distance and put on a wind hidden hat to hide himself, and quietly observed the progress of the purification ceremony here.

In this way, even if there is a problem with the ceremony that Baron Rogge is about to start, it will only affect his dream self clone and not easily affect him. He can take corresponding countermeasures whenever there is any trouble.

"Next, let me testify whether my premonition is correct or not."

After everything was ready, Wang Zhifan hid on the top of a building far away from the church and waited for the purification ceremony to begin. He did not pay attention to anything else except controlling the position of the dream self clone at the scene to act as a camera.

In the church, Sandra had already placed the all-seeing crystal on the dark altar in accordance with Baron Rogge's instructions, and was waiting for Baron Rogge, who was far away in Rogge Town, to use it to start the purification ceremony of the so-called contaminated holy objects.

During this period, she also emphasized the test in the purification ceremony mentioned by Baron Rogge to a total of thirty other professionals and players, so that they could prepare for battle.

NPC professionals are actually a little unhappy about the sudden addition of such a link. After all, they originally thought that they could complete the task by just looking for things, but in the end they have to fight monsters again. The players are more accepting mentally, probably. They felt that the rewards from killing the four elite monsters before were not good enough, and wanted to take advantage of the team to attack another wave of monsters.

When these people in the heart of the ruins of Alfilan were preparing for battle, what they didn't know was that in the town of Rogge thousands of kilometers away, Baron Rogge, who had changed into noble and gorgeous aristocratic clothes, was also making arrangements. People prepare for a big war.

At this time, he had already climbed onto the black-grey tower altar that had been specially built with a lot of money and manpower. He stood on the relatively flat top of the altar, like a noble priest who was about to hold a prayer ceremony for the gods.

"Go and inform those outsiders and tell them that as long as they help you protect the safety of Rogge Town, I will give each of them a piece of treasure equipment."

Baron Rogge, who was standing on the platform at the top of the black-gray tower altar, turned his head slightly and said to an old mage waiting beside him. This old mage was the one he met with professionals and players in the tavern a day ago. One of his personal guards, obviously one of his capable men.

"Okay, Lord Baron, we will do our best to assist you in completing the great ceremony."

The old mage bent down, then turned around and climbed into the spiral staircase of the nearby tower and rushed to the bottom of the tower. Baron Rogge was the only one left on the entire platform.

"Hehehe... I have finally waited for this day... I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly..."

Unexpectedly, Baron Rogge, who was alone, could not help but let out a low laughter that was somewhat inappropriate for his status. If anyone could hear it nearby, they would definitely be surprised by this middle-aged nobleman who usually gives people a wise and humble image. Why do people's painting style change suddenly?

He then raised the apple-sized crystal ball in his hand to his eyes, staring at the somewhat blurry scene revealed in the crystal ball. It seemed to be a very evil altar, exuding a deep and terrifying dark aura. , but in his eyes, she was as fascinating as a goddess descending to earth.

"That's it...that's it! It's the same as what I saw when the top management of Efilan was preparing for the ceremony!"

"But they are too greedy and stupid... A group of mere high-level professionals actually want to become gods in one step... Even if they sacrifice more than half of the world and attract a demonic tide, they are doomed to fail!"

"But I'm different! I'm not as greedy as they are, and I'm not as stupid as them! What I ask for is not much! I only need one thousandth of what they pray for! No! One millionth is enough! Wisdom and kindness If you are like me, you will definitely succeed!"

Baron Rogge stared at the crystal ball that was brought to him, looking at the dark altar presented inside with fascination and complacency. He kept talking to himself excitedly, even though he deliberately lowered most of his voice. One can feel his excitement and desire, as well as the extreme restraint he exerts to suppress his excitement.

After being dazed like this for a while, he regained his original demeanor of a decent noble. He lifted the crystal ball in front of his eyes and gently placed it on the top of a pillar in front of him. That was the key to the placement of the high tower altar. The location of the sacred object, if there really is a sacred object.

Shifting your gaze from the high tower altar to Rogge Town below, you can see that the atmosphere here has become a bit chilly.

Teams of Rogge Town guards were armed and armed, taking turns walking through the empty streets. All residents were required to stay at home and were not allowed to wander around at will.

On a certain street, three players suddenly appeared. One of them was a thin assassin player wearing black clothes and covering his face, and the two were gunners players holding guns. They were looking at each other with vigilant looks. Walking down the street, talking to each other.

"I said, did we make the wrong choice when we gave up the mission to go to the Holy City and chose to do this mission of guarding the town? The atmosphere in this town now makes me feel that this mission will be difficult. Maybe it would be easier to go to some other Holy City. Some, at least there will be a lot of help.”

One gunner complained to his companion next to him with a hint of annoyance.

"Haha, it's great to have this mission! Yesterday, I thought we were going to rush into the street, but I didn't expect that Baron was so particular that he directly forgave us for our behavior and issued a new mission for us, Treasure Super equipment, tsk tsk, I asked specifically about it, it is a good thing that is far better than high-quality equipment. It is probably what we players call excellent equipment. Do you think the task of obtaining excellent equipment will be simple?"

The other gunner was obviously completely stunned by the excellent reward promised by Baron Rogge. It was an excellent piece of equipment, something he rarely saw on the forum. If he could really complete the mission and get one, it would be great. Said it took off directly from the spot.

"Don't be too optimistic, you guys. I went to investigate last night and couldn't find any warehouses for excellence-level equipment in Rogge Town. I suspect that the baron is lying to us."

The thin, black-clothed masked assassin who had been rarely speaking spoke next, expressing his suspicions about the person who issued the mission. It was the kind of suspicion that was derived from investigation.But the Gunner player who spoke before was not happy to hear this, and he immediately retorted:

"How could it be so easy for you to find the place where other people put treasure-level equipment? Besides, if you really don't believe in the mission he issued, why don't you leave early? Just go to Shuanggang and find someone to customize it yourself."

"Stop arguing, the ceremony should start soon, the shield is up!"

Another Gunner player interrupted their conversation at this time and pointed to the edge of the basin where this town is located. In a full circle around that, you can see that the huge magic circle mask that once blocked their escape has formed again, blocking their escape. The connection between Roge Town and the outside world of the basin was cut off.

"Hey...why did you upgrade the shield? Is it necessary to open the shield for this mission?"

The interrupted gunman player suddenly became suspicious when he saw this. He didn't remember anyone saying that this method was available during this mission.

"Maybe to prevent outside monsters from attacking?"

His fellow shooters then offered their guesses.

"But the monsters around this town have been almost wiped out by the guards."

The assassin player next to him immediately shook his head.

"In my opinion, they may have raised the shield to prevent people inside from escaping... I knew there was something wrong with this mission, so please pray for yourselves."

He then said something in a cold tone, and the figure quickly entered the invisible state.

"Look! There seems to be a shield raised around the tower!"

The Gunner player who first noticed the rising shield around the town then pointed in another direction, where he could see a black and gray tower that was said to have been built recently, and a layer of white quickly appeared around it. The light shield completely sealed it off and completely isolated it from the rest of Rogge Town.

"This... something is really wrong... The entire town is surrounded by a light mask, which can be said to be a defense against enemies from the outside. Now, what is the purpose of the baron isolating himself from the town? Is it to defend against threats from within? ? Will the enemies in this city defense mission be so strong? Do they need to activate two layers of defense? "

When the gunner player expressed his confusion, on the high tower altar in the distance that had been wrapped by a light mask, Baron Rogge, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothing, had officially begun his great ceremony. He was seen kneeling on the high altar. On the platform of the tower, he opened his arms enthusiastically and looked up to the sky and chanted:

"O great Lord of Hell! Your humble servant offers you the most brutal battle! To pray for your blessing!"

"O noble God of Darkness! Your loyal believers dedicate their most vivid lives to you! In exchange for your blessings!"

"O supreme endless abyss! Your devout people offer you the strongest pain and hatred! Please grant me the essence of sublimation!"

……

"Sacrifice ceremony! Begin!"

……

As the owner of Rogge Town initiated the entire ceremony through a series of lengthy spells, at the same time, great changes occurred in Rogge Town and Afland, which was thousands of miles away.

First of all, here in Rogge Town, the peace of the town that was originally protected by the light shield was instantly broken. Dark fissures appeared out of thin air inside the town, and countless ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters emerged from them!Shockingly, an extremely large number of monsters were summoned directly into Rogge Town!Started a cage fight with the entire town's residents!

On the Efilan side, about thirty professionals and players waiting in the dilapidated church suddenly saw an evil red light emitting from the all-seeing crystal placed on the dark altar, and then they heard a burst of evil red light from all around outside the church. There was endless shaking and roaring, and all the monsters in the ruins of the Holy City were enraged and attacked them together!

"This...this! What's going on?! Aren't we going to hold a purification ceremony? Why did we suddenly anger the monsters outside! This is a naked murder of us!"

Some NPC professionals immediately screamed in fright and anger. I don’t blame them for being so rude. The main reason is that this situation is extremely bad. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fatal disaster!
There are more than a million monsters in the entire ruins of the Holy City, and there are many very powerful beings. They were able to come all the way here only by moving carefully with the help of the all-seeing crystal, but now all the monsters are After discovering their position and attacking them, it became almost impossible for them to leave Alfilan!
"Fuck! That bastard baron! He actually tricked us like this! I will beat him into a hornet's nest when I get back!"

"CNM! It's us who are being purified by this purification ceremony! We were deceived by that Baron! I'm afraid he didn't want to silence us!"

The players suddenly felt the huge pressure of doomsday. They really didn't expect that this mission would have such an unexpected change. Baron Rogge, who had always impressed them very well, actually started liquidation after they completed the mission!

"Impossible! It's impossible for Lord Baron to do this!"

Suddenly, the female warrior Sandra discovered that there were endless monsters coming around her. At this time, her mind was almost blank. She couldn't believe that the kind and wise nobleman in the hearts of the people of Rogge Town would do such a thing, and couldn't help but scream. .

At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who was hiding on the roof of a building far outside the church, also frowned deeply.

"Why did that guy do this? Just to silence us? Could it be that he has already achieved his goal through us?"

He didn't understand why Baron Rogge, who was leading all of this, suddenly killed him. After all, the other party had paid a lot for their trip to the Holy City, including providing rare equipment and arranging the convoy, and even the all-seeing crystal. Someone was brought here to assist them in their actions, but now they have lost their value without even seeing the shadow of the holy object?
