Countless memories flooded into Xia Yao's head.

She saw a man in a black cloak approaching Ferdinand, and under the pretext of treatment, he tricked the other party into putting his daughter into his formation.

Don't believe his lies.

Xia Yao subconsciously wanted to shout out, but found that she was just a consciousness in this memory and could do nothing but watch.

What happened next was just as Ferdinand had said. Sarah turned into a monster and Ferdinand almost collapsed.

The cloaked man left with a smile, holding the bottle containing Sarah's purest soul.

The scene changed, and the cloaked man returned to his place. He gathered the souls collected from all over the place, and used a formation to refine them. The souls clamored and merged together, and finally turned into a black wind, whooshing into the cloaked man's body.

At the same time, Xia Yao clearly saw a new nameplate on his chest - Exorcist Poet!

Xia Yao was quite shocked. It turned out that this guy was just a Holy Light Messenger in disguise, but his real profession was actually a poet!

No, to be more precise, he is not a poet in the player's concept. What players are familiar with should be a "bard", not an exorcist poet at all, because this is not one of the eight professions in "Eternal".

So who is this cloaked man in front of us?

Xia Yao held her breath and continued to observe from a third-person perspective.

Unexpectedly, the cloaked figure, as if aware of her presence, suddenly raised his fiery red eyes and grinned towards her. "Traveler, you've seen my secret, but it doesn't matter. These will all belong to you anyway. From now on, you are me and I am you."

Her vision suddenly blurred and Xia Yao felt a headache, while new fragments of memories flooded into her mind.

——Ferdinand went crazy, and all he remembered in his mind was the formation drawn by the cloaked man. He experimented with small animals every day, thinking that this would bring his daughter back. As a result, he accidentally fell into the formation, gradually became alienated, and was taken into the tower.

—Experimental Subject No. 1 reacted violently, and a gas leak occurred at the Paradise Research Institute, spreading poisonous gas all around. Officials claimed it was just ordinary fog, but the public believed it, only to die after inhaling the fog...

On the evening of June 1, 1992, five guards patrolling Baker Street were suddenly attacked. According to eyewitnesses, the attacker appeared to be a wild beast with a tail...

——After being torn apart by the long-tailed beasts, the guards also turned into monsters, and they tore at each other.

One day, there will be no more living people in the city.

Hence the name Plague City.

A buzzing sound in my head!

【Unlock the hidden profession Exorcist Poet】

[Exorcist Poet: Born in darkness, possesses a natural advantage in suppressing spirits]

[Gain the talent [Night Walk]]

[Night Walk: Increases attack and defense capabilities by 15% after entering night (Note: Not available in dungeons)]

[Obtain the skill [Exorcism]]

[Exorcism: Consumes 100 magic points, increases physical and spell damage against ghost monsters by 50%, lasts for 3 seconds, freezes for 9 seconds]

Xia Yao:?

You just gave it to her without even asking her. Have you ever considered that she doesn't want it at all?

Although the deaths of the people in Plague City are closely related to the upper class, if it weren't for what the cloaked man did to Sarah, Ferdinand wouldn't have collapsed, Sarah wouldn't have been sold to the institute, the institute wouldn't have leaked the information, and the residents of the city wouldn't have died...

It's like a butterfly in the southern hemisphere flapping its wings, which ultimately brings a tsunami disaster to the northern hemisphere.

She doesn't want to have such a bad reputation in her career.

But she had no choice.

The four small words "Exorcist Poet" already follow her profession.

Xia Yao sighed and had no choice but to hide it first, leaving only the normal "Bard".

And just after she revealed the hidden profession, several planners from Tianyu Game Factory immediately exclaimed "Oh my God!"

"I never expected that the first of the eight hidden professions we designed would be the Exorcist Poet."

"Everyone, I'm going to admit defeat. If you guessed Red Dragon Mage or Dark Knight, don't forget to buy some milk tea! Hey, Three-Tao Buddha, Two-Sword Style? You two, the gaming black holes, actually guessed it right?"

The Three Dao Buddhas immediately curled their lips. "Hmph, what do you mean by a gaming black hole? We call this a discerning eye!"

Two-sword flow: "Yes, a discerning eye. Also, I want a cup of bubble cake milk tea, less bubble, less cake, less tea."

Everyone:?

You might as well just drink plain water.

The losing planner volunteered to treat the winner to milk tea, and while waiting for the delivery man, the few of them started chatting casually.

"If I had known these poet players were so awesome, I would have revamped my cloaked figure. Now I don't even have a face. It's so shabby."

"What's the point of being shameless? I think the player who draws this will have a hard time in the future."

The three Buddhas' ears pricked up, and they hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Why else? Of the eight hidden classes we designed for this dungeon, the Exorcist Poet is the least decent. He plunders souls, creates monsters, and indirectly causes the demise of an entire city."

"In other words, there are still many confrontational plots waiting for players later, hahaha!"

"If you're not careful, you'll easily get blasted by the NPC~"

Three Buddhas: ...You are happy because the trouble didn’t happen to you, right?

After Xia Yao accidentally unlocked a hidden profession, her attention returned to the tower.

The spoils finally popped out.

However, the rewards do not drop from the boss, but fly out of their inventory.

Sarah's clothes turned into equipment, with a total of more than 10 pieces, including 3 pieces of mage outfits, 2 pieces of assassin outfits, one piece each of poet outfits and knight outfits, and the rest were items they could not wear.

There was only one mage in the whole team, Little Frog, and 3 of the items that dropped were his.

Huang Cheng, who only got one item, had a frown on his face.

The King of Kings and the Veteran were only allocated one item each.

The atmosphere between the three of them was a little awkward, except for the little frog who didn't know how to appreciate it and deliberately waved three pieces of black iron that shone with gold in front of them.

"Oh wow, this armor is amazing! It adds 40 defense, absolutely amazing!"

"The boots are nice too. Look, my agility has improved again~"

"A bracelet is also good~ It increases attack power. Hehe, are you envious?"

Three people: ...If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb.

Xia Yao watched them from the side, smiled, picked up the only poet's outfit, and looked at its attributes.

It was a black iron belt with very good attributes: Constitution +38, Magic +30, Defense +45, which was far better than her previous bronze belt.

And Sarah's clothes and dolls that they had brought with them were all turned into props as rewards.

Xia Yao took a look and found that these props were of no use to her, so she asked Huang Cheng if they needed them.

Everyone shook their heads.

So I decided to sell the items for money after completing the dungeon, and then distribute gold coins according to the contribution value.

After leaving the dungeon, Xia Yao received an upgrade prompt.

[Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded to level 14 and obtained 5 free attribute points]

[You are an exorcist poet, and gain 2 additional free attribute points]

There are actually extra attribute points?

Xia Yao twitched her lips. Okay, although she didn't like this hidden profession very much, considering that there were extra points to be gained, it was not unacceptable.

So all the new 2 points are allocated to intelligence.

The time is now 5:30 in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before logging off in the evening. She plans to repair the Soul-Devouring Fan in her hand. The durability has dropped to 10 points in the dungeon. If she continues to use it, it will be scrapped.

Now she has no other weapon at hand, so she can only continue to use this fan.

There are several NPCs who repair weapons in the Perth Empire. She saw one in the Southern Market, so she went over to talk to him. The answer she got was to pay a deposit of 50 first and come back to pick it up in 2 hours.

2 hours was not a long time for Xia Yao. Anyway, she had no plans to kill monsters today. She had not yet completed the second enchantment task given by Orphea. While waiting, she could go to the underground studio to build the equipment slot.

She had the key given to her by Ophelia, so she could just go to the back garden to open a studio.

I took out the 250 pieces of iron ores that I had stockpiled from my backpack and continued to follow the steps on the enchantment blueprint. After 2 hours, all 5 equipment slots were successfully produced!

The equipment slots needed to be forged into the equipment, so she took out the four pieces of equipment, namely armor, belt, necklace, and bracelet, and placed them on the table.

Simple forging work is not difficult for Xia Yao now. After all, her [Forging] has reached level 2 89%.

Quickly forge four equipment slots onto four pieces of equipment, and then inlay enchantment gems in turn.

[The armor has been inlaid with enchanted gems]

[Enchanted Gem (Level 2): ​​Magic Level: Level 1, Intelligence +14]

[The belt has been inlaid with enchanted gems]

[Enchanted Gem (Level 2): ​​Magic Level: Level 1, Magic Power +10]

[The necklace has been inlaid with enchanted gems]

[Enchanted Gemstone (Level 2): ​​Magic Level: Level 1, Constitution +9]

[The bracelet is inlaid with enchanted gems]

[Enchanted Gem (Level 2): ​​Magic Level: Level 1, Defense +7]

She is well-equipped, and with the bonus of gems, her attributes are now far ahead of others, and her combat power has reached 3900.

It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Although she is still number one in the combat power list, compared with the second place, she is 1,200 points higher than the latter, which can be regarded as an all-round crushing.

Some players who like to look at these ranking data from time to time soon discovered this detail and started to flatter it to the world.

[The sparrow has carved a hole in the cow's butt—the sparrow is truly awesome! Its combat power is almost reaching 4000!]

I thought 2000 was enough, but when I saw the boss again, I burst into tears!

[Wow, wow, let me worship my sister and absorb her energy~]

…

As soon as 2 hours were up, Xia Yao retrieved the Soul-Devouring Fan.

She was thinking about going outside the city to kill some monsters and practice leveling up when someone sent her a message.

[Sorrow of the End of War: Boss Yao, congratulations! You got the first kill in the dungeon again!]

【Yinyao: Thank you】

[Sorrow of the End of War: How did it feel? What was the boss like?]

Yinyao: It's okay. It has no shape.

[Sorrow of the End of War: Huh? No shape? What kind of boss is this? Physical? Or magical?]

[Yin Yao: You'll find out if you go in and play around.]

[Sorrow of the End of War: Oh my, I died a long time ago... I didn't even touch the shadow of the boss (It's so hard for me.jpg)]

[Sorrow of the End of War: Ahem, by the way, could you guys tell me how you guys cleared the game? (Moving a small stool.jpg)]

Finally got to the point, didn't I?

Xia Yao raised the corners of her lips and smiled lightly.

[Yin Yao: I'll tell you quietly, and then quietly tell Yuan Qinglan, right?]
