The "Sunshine Scripture", one of the "Six Color Scriptures" of the Theocracy, is composed of forty-five third-level faith magic casters.
Their main fighting method is to summon a non-intelligent creature called "Flame Archangel" to attack the enemy.
Since this creature has strong physical defense capabilities, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to cause effective damage to it with their strength and swords.
Only powerful enough magic weapons or the use of "martial arts" that exceed the limits of the body can truly kill the "Fire Archangel".
The leading commander, Negan Gulide Luin, can use his own power to cast fourth-level magic and summon higher-level surveillance angels.
For the elite armies of most human countries, this is already a terrifying enemy that is almost impossible to defeat by relying on numerical advantage.
After all, the so-called "martial arts" is essentially a combat skill that breaks through the limits of the physical body through powerful spirit, will and magical power. It can overload operation in an instant and exert explosive power several times, even dozens of times, or even hundreds of times greater than usual.
In this world, only a very small number of gifted people can master this technique.
It not only requires long-term training and understanding, but most importantly, it requires corresponding talent.
Ordinary soldiers could become disabled if they were forced to exercise, let alone learn.
Therefore, for the indigenous people of this world, the power of the "Sunshine Scripture" is definitely not weak, but rather it is so strong that it is despairing.
The Theocracy used this team to continuously strangle the alien races and subhumans in the areas surrounding the human race's sphere of influence, carrying out genocidal massacres on them to ensure that they could not pose a threat to themselves.
Because they will never forget how humans were conquered, killed, enslaved, and even eaten as livestock such as cattle and sheep by these alien races before the arrival of a group of players called the "Six Gods".
The hatred engraved in the memory and even the soul made the entire religious nation's top leaders have an indescribable crazy hatred for non-human races.
Instead of weakening over time, this kind of hatred has become increasingly intense, forming a kind of human supremacist ideology, culture, beliefs and values.
In addition, according to the level division of the game played by Lao Gutou, the level of the "Fire Archangel" summoned by the third-tier magic is about LV15, which is equivalent to a LV4 creature summoned by a second-ring spell in the continent of Faerun, but its physical defense is slightly stronger.
The angel of surveillance summoned by the fourth level is LV24, which is approximately equivalent to the LV6 to LV7 creatures summoned by the three-ring magic of Faerun.
As for the Archangel of Glory summoned by the seventh-level sealing crystal, his level is LV46, which is approximately equal to the LV13 creature summoned by the sixth-ring magic of Faerun.
In short, although the appearance of the "Sunlight Scripture" made the Warrior Captain - Gazef feel unprecedented pressure, it did not make the players feel nervous.
Just the opposite!
The latter's eyes glowed green, and they were secretly calculating how much experience points they could earn by killing this wave of enemies.
In particular, the leaders of each small team have now gathered together to discuss how to divide the monsters, so as to avoid fighting over monsters and damaging the harmony.
Since PVP between players is strictly prohibited in the floating city, even if there are conflicts, they are usually resolved through negotiation and finding a middleman.
At most, they could have a one-on-one duel, with both sides betting a sum of money or a few valuable magical equipment.
The winner gets to take these things away as compensation.
As a warrior who had experienced many battles, Gazef undoubtedly noticed the strange reaction of these adventurers, and immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Aren't you afraid?
You have to know that those outside the village are the most elite Sunshine Canons of the Church, mastering the third and fourth level magic.
And you just killed an entire team sent by the other side.
They will not let you go no matter what."
"Hey, hey! Afraid? Why should we be afraid of a group of people who are weaker than us?"
Wu Sheng held the gun and showed a contemptuous expression.
In his opinion, these idiots didn't even cast any protective spells and thought they would be fine as long as they stood far away.
But in fact, all the opponents are now within his sniping range.
Just stuff in a few specially made long-range extended-range bullets and you can kill them all within a minute.
Since the two were communicating in the language of this world, Jack, who was standing next to them, couldn't understand anything and had no way to interrupt.
Because the time for the fourth-ring magic [Tricks of the Tongue] he had bestowed upon himself had just expired, and he had not prepared a second one today, so he was beaten back to his original form on the spot.
"So... you are strong?"
Gazef's eyes lit up slightly, and he once again turned his gaze to Jack, who had a height, size, and strength far beyond that of a normal human.
He could clearly feel the terrifying explosive power in the body of this man with whom he had a brief fight.
If we can reach a cooperation agreement with them, we may be able to defeat the Sunshine Scripture and save Kahn Village.
Thinking of this, the Warrior Captain took a deep breath and offered, "Although I have heard that adventurers cannot interfere in wars between countries, I would like you to lend me a hand this time. Please!"
After saying that, he bent down again and bowed deeply.
There is no doubt that this is a very upright man with a strong sense of honor and responsibility.
Although he knew that his commoner status had caused him to be ostracized by the nobles, they even joined forces with foreign forces to set a trap to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The attack on Kahn Village is the most obvious example.
But Gazef did not complain and still led his troops to rescue without hesitation.
Because he understood that these villagers were innocent and the enemy only wanted him.
If they did not attack, countless villages around them would be massacred one after another.
"What is he talking about?"
Jack asked his good brother beside him playfully.
Wu Sheng smiled and responded, "Nothing, he is asking us to help repel those strange invaders outside."
Hearing this, Jack couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Do I even need to beg for this?
Even if no one says anything, we can't miss out on so much high-quality experience points from walking.
You know, I am about to reach level 21 and master the most powerful legendary magic.
The Eight-Ring and Nine-Ring Magical Arts are already so powerful, I can't help but want to see how powerful the Legendary Magical Arts can be."
"Stop messing around! Last time, you cast the Nine-Ring Divine Art [Revenge Storm] in the forest and directly summoned a large storm mixed with acid rain, lightning, and hail.
They created a large restricted zone for life out of thin air and killed all the surrendering prisoners.
You know, according to the original plan, they should have become slaves and cannon fodder under our control."
Wu Sheng complained angrily.
He has always been very satisfied with this companion who is loyal, responsible and always at the forefront of everything.
But there is only one thing, that is the bloodthirstiness and madness that the opponent often shows in battle.
Especially when they are in the mood to kill, they often wantonly use large-scale killing magic.
It wasn't very noticeable when the level was low before, but as the level increases, the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.
The most typical example is that Jack likes to put on a fire shield and blade wall when fighting in close combat.
This means that no matter whether it is an enemy or a companion, anyone who gets close to him will immediately suffer considerable damage.
To some extent, Jack and Wu Sheng are two people with completely different personalities.
The former is as violent as fire, and his first reaction when encountering something is to rush up and beat the fuck out of it.
The latter is as calm and rational as a lurking hunter, always calculating how to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.
It is precisely because of these two guys with completely opposite personalities who can work together that the team they lead will stand out and become one of the most powerful player guilds.
"Hey, sorry, I couldn't help it because I was itching to do it. I'll be more careful next time.
But I thought I should try to squeeze out some profit from it.
After all, the other party is the kingdom's warrior captain.
You can't just ask us for help with empty words, right? You have to give us some benefits."
After saying that, Jack threw the war hammer in his hand to the ground, looking like he was ready to watch the show.
It has to be said that players are definitely a group of people who will not do anything without profit and are extremely shrewd.
After realizing that they could still gain some benefits from it, they all pretended to be embarrassed.
Another female player took the initiative to come forward to negotiate.
"Sir Warrior Captain, we adventurers have always been paid according to our work. If we destroy the Sunlight Scripture outside the village, what kind of benefits can you give us?"
moment!
Gazef looked extremely embarrassed.
因为他虽然是战士长，拥有很高的社会地位与觐见国王的权力，但实际上却并没有什么钱或者权力。
尤其是支付不起雇佣这么多顶尖冒险者所需要花费的财富。
更不可能以战士长的身份向冒险者公会发布委托，为其带来名气和冒险等级上的提升。
因为冒险者公会是不允许冒险小队参与国家之间的争斗。
“好吧，看来您给不了我们报酬。”
这位生前是谈判专家的女性玩家立刻便从对方脸上的表情察觉到了真相。
就在她刚刚准备把报酬转化成为人情债的时候，夏恩七世的声音突然回荡在脑海之中。
“让他教导你们如何锻炼武技。”
“武技？”
女玩家在脑海中下意识追问了一句。
夏恩七世不加思索的回答道：“是的。
这个世界的武技是由强大的精神和意志力来控制魔法能量，从而达到强化、解放和超越肉体极限的目的，获得远超常人所能理解的爆发力。
这也就意味着，如果浮空城掌握了相应的知识，就能让你们也获得类似的技巧。”
“原来如此！”
意识到这可能会惠及所有的战斗系职业，女玩家立刻打起十二万分的精神，拿出自己作为谈判专家的技巧试探道：“战士长阁下，我有个提议不知道您是否愿意听听？”
“当然，请说。”
正发愁不知道该怎么收场的葛杰夫赶忙点了点头。
“作为王国最强的战士，您应该掌握了不少武技，对吧？ 既然您无法支付雇佣我们的报酬，不如来做个交易如何？
我们负责帮忙解决村子外面的阳光圣典部队。
等事成之后您再抽出时间来专门指导我们如何锻炼和使用武技。”
女玩家没有任何兜圈子的意思，非常干脆的表达了自己的诉求。
因为她发现，村子外面那些入侵者明显已经有些等得不耐烦了，正在不断朝着村子逼近，必须马上达成协议。
“跟我学习武技？当然没问题！”
葛杰夫听到交易的内容顿时松了一口气。
他原本还以为对方会提出像是金钱、职位、土地之类的要求，所以内心非常的紧张纠结。
“那就这么说定了！”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，女玩家立马拔出身后背着的魔法长剑，冲所有玩家高呼：“伙计们！交易达成！该起来干活了！来吧，让我们以摧枯拉朽之势把村子外面那些移动经验值尽快收割掉。”
“了解！”
“干活了！干活了！”
“牧师！法师！吟游诗人！上BUFF！”
“注意以小队为单位进行包抄！千万别让一个漏网之鱼逃掉！”
……
伴随着玩家之间才能听懂的呼喊声，刺眼的魔法能量便不断在眼前闪现。
尽管葛杰夫已经意识到这群冒险者能够屠杀伪装成帝国军队的教国士兵，实力自然是没的说。
可是却万万没想到，对方居然有这么高比例的魔法吟唱者。
尤其是那些增益与强化类的法术，一看就知道阶位非常高，明显都已经踏入了英雄的领域。
更让他感到难以置信的是，王国境内什么时候冒出这么多达到英雄领域等级的强者？ 伴随着电吉他发出的刺耳鸣响，一位朋克风格打扮的高级音游人开始与另外几名吟游诗人合作，弹奏起了震耳欲聋，让人热血沸腾的重金属音乐。
当然，这并不是行为艺术，而是音乐中蕴含着强大的魔法力量。
等那些激昂的鼓点和鸣响交汇到一起之后，不少人都开始感受到自己的体内仿佛有使不完的力气，同时精神与意志也变得格外亢奋。
毫无疑问，这是【提振战力】和【提振英勇】的效果。
前者可以让受到影响的人获得包括生命力、攻击力在内的多种力量提升，后者则能大幅度提高士气和神经反射速度，让受到影响的人可以快速躲避、招架人的攻击。
与法师通过吟唱、施法材料和施法动作来调动魔力不同，吟游诗人是通过音乐来调动魔力。
所以当他们开始使用魔法力量进行表演的时候，往往意味着可以给同伴、盟友带来相当可观的战斗提升。
唯一的问题是，接受过现代流行音乐洗礼的玩家，显然不会像费伦传统的吟游诗人那样使用竖琴、鲁特琴、笛子之类的传统乐器进行演奏。
而是自制了魔法电吉他、贝斯、电子琴、架子鼓、萨克斯之类的现代乐器。
知道的这是在用音乐魔法加BUFF，不知道的还以为是一支重金属乐队在开演唱会呢。
那种诡异的画风让这个世界的土著居民们一个个瞪大眼睛，完全搞不清楚状况。
而且由于马匹被重金属音乐和摇滚惊吓到，把葛杰夫和他带来的骑兵们弄得狼狈不堪。
相比之下，玩家们则早就习惯了这一切，一个个迈着六亲不认的步伐，径直走出了村子。
那冰冷的眼神和散发出杀气，明明白白在脸上写着四个大字“全员恶人”。
“队……队长！就是这些家伙杀光了我们之前派出的军队！”
一名阳光圣典的成员下意识吞了口唾沫小心翼翼的汇报道。
“哼！不过是一群自以为是冒险者而已！有甚么好怕的？立刻控制天使杀光他们！”
尼根·古立德·路因高高举起右手厉声下达了攻击命令。
从轻微抽搐的嘴角和另外一只手死死攥着封印水晶的动作不难看出，他现在其实也有点心里没底。
原因很简单！ 身为一名第四阶位的魔法吟唱者，这位阳光圣典的最高指挥官怎么会可能看不出玩家们刚才加持的神术等级有多高。
光是可以获得一定伤害减免的三环神术【圣盾术】，就已经让他感到有些心惊胆战。
更不用提还有四环的【神能】和【高等魔化武器】。
要知道三环在这个世界就已经相当于第四阶位，而四环更是达到了第五阶位。
而掌握第五阶位魔法在这个世界上还有另外一个称呼，那就是踏入英雄领域的人。
在大多数人的认知中，这几乎是凡人所能触及到的极限。
唯一支撑尼根没有选择撤退的，就是在接到这个任务时上级交给自己的那个封印水晶。
他坚信，无论眼前这些不知道从什么地方冒出来的家伙有多厉害，都不可能打得过凌驾于凡人之上的威光主天使。
眼见几十个火焰大天使从半空中俯冲下来，战士长葛杰夫终于再也坐不住了，立马就想要冲出去支援那些人数占据劣势的玩家。
可还没等骑上马跑出去十米远，他就看到了令自己毕生难忘的一幕。
仅仅一秒钟之后，那些连他对付起来都十分困难的火焰大天使，就这样在玩家们的狞笑下纷纷如同雨点般从天空中掉落下来。
甭说是造成什么伤害，甚至还没等靠近就被枪械、附魔箭矢、攻击魔法等远程手段轰杀，纷纷化作能量消失在空气之中。
其中大范围杀伤的火球术和划过天际的闪电术所造成的震撼，让葛杰夫愣在原地整个人都傻眼了，同时抬起手阻止跟自己一起冲锋的骑兵。
支援？
支援个屁！
四十几个火焰大天使愣是在一轮攻击中全部死了个精光，反应稍微慢一点的玩家甚至都只能打空气。
“战……战士长！他们究竟是什么人？这种实力恐怕只有精钢级冒险者能够做到吧？”
一名士兵结结巴巴的问。
如果仔细观察就能发现，他的瞳孔在刚才几秒钟的时间里反复的剧烈扩张、收缩，显然是被深深的震撼到了。
葛杰夫苦笑着摇了摇头：“别问我，我也不知道。但可以肯定的是，阳光圣典和教国这一次是踢到铁板了。”
“那我们还要去帮忙吗？”
另外一名士兵语气中带着强烈的不确定。
“帮忙？开什么玩笑！你好好看看他们杀气冲天的架势，我觉得咱们过去很有可能会被当成敌人一起干掉。”
又一名士兵忍不住打了个哆嗦，明显是被吓到了。
要知道随着玩家等级的不断提高，他们当中的某些人已经获得了类似龙威、恐惧灵气之类的特殊职业能力，会在不经意之间对周围其他人产生影响。
那些职业等级高、意志力强大的倒还好说，基本都能轻松扛过去。
但对于没有任何抵抗力的平民和普通士兵而言，这种肉眼看不到的气势会使其不由自主的产生畏惧感，甚至是吓到失去理智四散奔逃。
就在王国军队这边激烈讨论玩家们究竟是不是最高等级的精钢冒险者时，作为敌人的阳光圣典这会儿已经被干沉默了。
Because they summoned the Archangel of Fire several times, but without exception they were slaughtered in an instant.
The speed made everyone realize the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Although the magic casters in this world are not restricted by spell slots like those in Faerun, they cast spells in the form of mana.
As long as you have enough mana, you can keep casting the same spell.
But the problem is that mana also has a limit.
In terms of the total amount of spells cast, the unoptimized mana system is far inferior to the optimized spell slot system.
The attack spells that were released were basically either resisted or endured by the players with their tenacious vitality.
The only thing they could do was turn their attention to the commander, Negan Gulid Luin.
"This... How is this possible! Angel of Surveillance! Go!"
Negan yelled at the higher level angel he had summoned.
The summoned creature, which was emitting white and golden light all over its body, immediately raised its hand and created a huge nail hammer emitting white cold light out of thin air, and smashed it down hard at the nearest player.
Since it is more than three and a half meters tall, this attack looks full of power and oppression.
But in the end, Jack blocked it with one hand, and yawned while blocking it. He said sarcastically with a dissatisfied look on his face: "That's it? A piece of trash whose strength attribute is probably less than 19 points? How disappointing!"
The next second...
He simply raised the index finger of his other hand, pressed it on the angel's head and released the Five Rings [Killing Technique].
boom!!!!
moment!
A terrifying, cold black flame burst out from the fingertips and instantly engulfed the Angel of Surveillance.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, the summoned creature disappeared completely under the burning of the black flames. The whole process took less than two or three seconds.
Just as the entire Sunshine Canon was speechless, another player nearby protested with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Hey! You're going too far, aren't you? Didn't we agree to leave this one to us?"
"I can't help it! You saw it attacked me first, I was just defending myself."
Jack defended himself smugly.
Just as the player next to him was about to open his mouth to greet the women in his family, Nigan finally broke down completely, holding up the sealing crystal in his hand like a madman and roaring, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How could a high-level angel be killed with just one strike?
In that case, summon the highest level angel!
Foolish and ignorant mortals! Come and see the honor of this highest angel!
Tremble and surrender before its supreme power!"
Along with that slightly childish speech, the sealed crystal suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light, even covering up the sun's brilliance for a moment.
"Fuck! My eyes are going blind!"
"Shit, is the boss going to use his ultimate move?"
"The highest level angel? That name sounds exciting!"
"Get out of the way! My nine-ring magic can finally come in handy!"
…
Unlike the villagers and the kingdom's army who were stunned by the horrifying scene, the players' reactions were more excited and thrilled.
Being a "war maniac", Jack grinned with a bloodthirsty smile, intending to have a good fight with this highest-level angel, even if the price was his own death and resurrection in the floating city.
Because in his eyes, the meaning of entering this "game" is to kill others or be killed by others.
No matter what the result is, he will enjoy the process very much and satisfy his inner desire for blood, killing and death.
When the dazzling light faded, a huge creature six meters tall and with several pairs of wings appeared out of thin air. It radiated a strong holy light all over its body and held a weapon like a scepter in its hand.
"Damn it! Has the Theocracy gone mad?"
When Warrior Captain Gazef saw this, his hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably. He couldn't believe that the other party would actually pull out such a trump card in order to get rid of him.
With the pitiful equipment he has now, even if he rushed forward and used his best martial arts, it would be difficult to break the defense of the Archangel of Glorious Light.
"Hahahaha! What's up? Are you scared? It's natural to be scared!
Because the power of the Supreme Angel is something that mortals can never reach!"
Seeing that the players had fallen into silence, Nigan thought that the other party was intimidated by the Archangel of Light he summoned, and immediately let out a arrogant laugh.
But just one second later, he heard someone among the players questioning.
"That's it? You've been yelling for so long and this is what you summoned? I waited for nothing!"
"Yeah! This boss is so lame! So boring!"
"Let's disperse. Just find someone to deal with it."
"I think it would be better to kill the spellcasters behind it for more experience points than to kill this lousy angel."
There is no doubt that the players' contemptuous attitude and tone dealt a mental blow to the Sunshine Bible.
They simply couldn't believe that the Archangel of Glory, who was invincible in their eyes, was actually not taken seriously by the other party at all.
"Wha…what? This is impossible!
You are just bluffing in front of an existence that humans cannot possibly defeat! Archangel of Glory! Use [Extreme Holy Strike]!"
Negan had obviously lost his calm and reason at this moment, and just wanted to immediately eliminate the group of players in front of him who had made him lose face.
Due to his long-standing fanatical religious beliefs, he firmly believed that the Church was the most powerful country in the world, and that the six gods and the legacy they left behind would always protect mankind, enabling it to eventually defeat other races and become the overlord of the world.
Therefore, this Archangel of Power and Light inherited from the crystal sealed by the six gods should also be invincible.
Following an order, the golden scepter in the angel's hand instantly decomposed into a dazzling ball of light.
Seeing this, Nigan immediately grinned and said, "Arrogant fellow! Feel the realm that humans can never reach, the seventh-level magic, the miracle that can even destroy the devil!"
Before he finished speaking!
A beam of light filled with positive energy dropped from the sky and hit the players hard.
Just when Negan thought that these enemies were dead, he suddenly saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the light column under the energy impact, holding high an emblem engraved with an exquisite phoenix pattern in his hand, and began to chant a spell in a language he could not understand.
The moment the light column of [Extreme Holy Strike] disappeared, the entire world changed color, and a huge red magic array fell directly from the sky, forming a river of high-temperature flames on the ground.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The indescribable flames evaporated all the surrounding matter in an instant, forming an energy shock visible to the naked eye.
The aftermath alone killed most of the members of the nearby Sunshine Canon, and not even a small piece of charred carbon was left.
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop! The natives of this world seemed to sense that some powerful will was about to descend, and their hearts began to beat wildly, even the experienced Gazef and Negan were no exception.
“Great Phoenix God Bennu!
You are the master of all fire in the world!
You protect the souls of all believers and guide them on the road to eternal life! Now, please listen to my call and come to this world to bring faith and salvation to those ignorant mortals! "
Although Jack's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.
What is even more unbelievable to the local natives is that they clearly cannot understand the language, but they can understand its meaning without any obstacles.
The moment the entire chanting process ended, the boiling flames and high temperatures gathered together at an extremely fast speed, and finally condensed into a huge flaming phoenix form.
He simply opened his mouth and a ball of fire burst out, and the Archangel of Light, who was known as the highest-level angel, was burned to ashes on the spot.
There is no doubt that this is a faint projection of the Phoenix God Benu, and only a very small number of high-level Phoenix priests who have reached LV10 can summon it by consuming a nine-ring spell slot.
Although the overall strength of the projection may not be much stronger than the Balrog or the Hellfire summoned through the gate to the other world.
But its advantage is that it carries a weak divine power and is not dangerous. It can also play a missionary role, so it is deeply loved by priest players.
The only drawback is that this projection can only last for a very short time, perhaps less than ten seconds.
Unlike the creatures summoned by the Gate to Another World, which can last for more than two minutes.
当神术维持时间达到极限，巨大的火焰凤凰在天空中划过一道明亮的轨迹，砰的一声摧毁了教国用来监视阳光圣典本次行动的法术后便凭空消失。
只留下一群目瞪口呆、完全失去思考能力的本地土著。
玩家们则在疯狂吐槽，杰克这个死不要脸的又想要玩武装传教那一套。
毕竟在亲眼目睹了凤凰之神投影所展现出来的恐怖力量后，卡恩村的村民肯定会不由自主的成为信徒。
用不了多久，就会有感知属性比较高的人获得启迪成为牧师，并以此为中心向四周传教。
到时候凤凰之神的信仰在这个世界传播的越广，始作俑者就能从中获得越多的奖励。
不过吐槽归吐槽，玩家们也知道凤凰之神如果能降临在这个世界，那么对于自己来说绝对是有百利而无一害。
毕竟一旦建立神殿，玩家们就可以通过花钱来购买各种治疗和复活服务，还可以随时补充各种药水、神术卷轴和附魔装备。
早已练就了一张防弹脸皮的杰克完全没有理会其他玩家们的抱怨，扛着武器径直走到尼根的面前，先是让另外一名玩家给自己加持了一个【巧言术】，随即举起双管猎枪抵在对方脑袋上，用居高临下的语气问：“你还有什么遗言吗？小丑！”
“你……你们究竟是什么怪物？”
尼根扑通一声跪在地上，眼神中充满了恐惧跟绝望。
他完全无法想象，究竟是什么样的人能够硬抗下第七阶位的魔法【极度圣击】，又能召唤出毁天灭地的巨大火焰凤凰。
“怪物？从某种程度上来说，这个称呼倒是没错。与你们相比，可以无限复活的我们的确算得上是怪物。”
说话的功夫，杰克掀开了自己全封闭头盔，露出那张散发着恐怖精神污染的脸。
可怜的尼根仅仅看了一眼，整个人就不受控制的剧烈抽搐、呕吐，同时还不断用头撞击地面，仿佛想要快一点寻求解脱。
不光是他，周围其余看到这一幕的阳光圣典成员也都疯了，还有的拔出武器直接插进心脏或是咽喉。
眼见又有人被自己的“英俊的容貌”吓到精神失常，杰克顿时气不打一出来，直接扣动扳机打爆了对方的脑袋。
没过一会儿功夫，教国派出的所有军队就这样全部死了精光。
那诡异而又恐怖的景象，让卡恩村的村民与王国的士兵感觉浑身发冷。
可怕！ 简直太可怕了！
尤其是向来没有见过什么大世面的农夫跟农妇们，更是哗啦啦的跪下一大片，不断念叨着刚才听到关于凤凰之神的祷言。
一方面是为了表达内心之中的感激，另外一方面则是渴望能够获得这位伟大神祇的庇佑，千万不要让那毁灭的火焰落在自己头上。
……
另外一边，躲在纳萨力克大坟墓里全程看完了这场实力悬殊战斗的老骨头摸着下巴陷入了深深地沉思。
首先，他惊讶于教国的阳光圣典部队竟然如此弱小，最高级也不过召唤出了一个游戏中等级为LV46的威光主天使。
其次，对于这个世界土著竟然可以使用游戏中的技能、召唤出游戏中的怪物十分的不解，迫切想要搞清楚背后的原因。
最后，也是最重要的。
老骨头差点被突然召唤出来的凤凰之神投影吓尿了裤子。
尤其是那惊鸿一瞥所释放出来的微弱神力，让他第一次产生了如果与这玩意相遇自己可能会被杀掉。
事实上不仅是他本人，大坟墓内那些高级守护者的反应也都差不多。
看看像雅儿贝德、迪米乌哥斯、夏提雅这些极度邪恶的NPC，现如今根本不敢再提什么“人类是下等生物”之类的话就知道，凤凰之神的投影给了他们多么巨大的震撼。
下等生物？
不好意思，凭借这一招，杰克这个下等生物就能在几秒钟之内轻而易举杀死他们中的任何一个。
在神力的面前，不管是玩家还是守护者那所谓LV100的等级都形同虚设。
“呼——我想你们现在都应该清楚现在所处的世界有多么危险了，不是吗？”
老骨头抬起头扫了一眼这群总想着要搞事情乃至征服世界的NPC。
尽管在游戏中扮演和制造极度扭曲、病态、邪恶的角色很带感，可一旦带入到现实中简直就是一场灾难。
他甚至有些后悔，为什么当初自己那么中二，与公会的成员制造出这么一群奇葩，结果导致现在骑虎难下。
“无上的至尊，您深邃的智慧令我们感到望尘莫及。
您是对的，在决定采取什么样的行动之前，我们需要好好探索一下这个世界。
尤其是那群强大而又奇怪的冒险者。
他们似乎掌握着很多危险的魔法和能力。
我建议最好派出人手伪装成本地土著去接近他们。
不管是雇佣也好，还是打好关系成为朋友也罢，总之不惜一切代价的搜集情报。”
迪米乌哥斯第一个站出来附和道。
作为一名恶魔，尽管他有可能是所有NPC中最残忍的一个，可是却相当冷静理智且有大局观。
明白在面对强大威胁的时候应该采取迂回战术，而不是像个铁头娃一样撞上去。
老骨头赞许的点了点头：“你说得对。
我们不能光坐在这里观察，而是应该积极的主动出击。
现在就让我们来讨论一下具体要怎么执行吧。
记住，在进行侦查和情报搜集的过程中都给我管好你们自己，禁止一切挑衅或是主动伤害人类的行为。
塞巴斯·蒂安，你跟我一起行动。”
“遵命，无上的至尊，这是我的光荣！”
龙人上前一步单手抚胸鞠了一躬。
不用问也知道，老骨头之所以选他，就是看中了这位外在形象犹如老年管家的手下那高达三百点的正义值。
与这样的NPC一起行动，起码不用太担心对方会突然发神经，把无意之中冒犯自己的人给砍死或者大卸八块。
跟塞巴斯·蒂安的稳重与成熟相比，雅儿贝德跟夏提雅简直就像是两个女疯子，而且时不时就会把“人类”、“下等生物”之类的词挂在嘴边。
……
就在老骨头安排人手的时候，远在王都的豪宅内。
夏恩七世正坐在阳台的椅子上，一边品尝女仆送来的点心和茶水，一边与刚刚从费伦传送过来的左思交谈。
由于有【半巫妖肉身术】这个传奇魔法塑造的身体，因此他不仅可以像活着的时候一样吃东西，而且还拥有生前的体质属性。
不像普通巫妖和半巫妖一样，会在一些需要通过类似豁免的法术面前毫无抵抗之力。
“如何，我们那位主角先生还没有任何动作吗？”
左思抿了一小口热茶饶有兴致的问。
夏恩七世笑着回答道：“除了最开始的时候派出了一些低级亡灵生物侦查周围的环境，再就没有了任何动静。
我觉得他似乎被玩家们所展现出来的力量吓得不轻，以至于谨慎过头了。
但不出意外的话，经过卡恩村之战后他肯定会采取一些行动。
比如说乔装改扮伪装成这个世界的土著居民，然后躲在暗处打探消息。
顺便问一句，我们这位主角先生应该是有类似不死之身的复活能力，对吧？”
“是的。其中玩家的死亡是需要降级作为死亡复活的惩戒，NPC死亡则需要花费大量的金钱。怎么，你打算亲自下场去跟他玩玩么？”
左思漫不经心的随口问了一句。
“为什么不呢？ 按照你提供的情报，这位不死者之王拥有相当于费伦LV29左右的的施法等级，以及一大堆高阶魔法物品和神器。
我很想知道，在不动用旅法师力量的前提下，他能在我的面前撑多久。”
在说这番话的时候，夏恩七世脸上明显露出了跃跃欲试的表情。
通过对王都法师公会各类魔法卷轴的研究，他已经差不多了解到这套与费伦大陆施法体系十分相近的阶位魔法，迫切希望能通过一场战斗来获得更多的信息和思路，进而以此为基础开发一些自己独创的法术。
左思忍不住笑着摇了摇头：“不，你不明白，我们那位主角先生可不会跟你玩一对一的法术决斗。
他是个典型缺乏自信的人。
除非被逼到墙角，否则一般而言只会欺负那些实力远不如自己的弱者。
当他发现对手跟自己一样强大或者更强的时候，往往会选择撤退或是召唤更多的帮手。
总之在没有百分之百把握的情况下，这家伙是不会轻易冒险的。
这也就意味着，当你对他发起进攻的时候，就等同于要挑战整个纳萨里克大坟墓里边所有的NPC。”
“听起来好像跟你的作风有些类似？”
Shane VII frowned immediately.
“It’s a bit similar indeed.
But the difference is that I never lack confidence, nor am I afraid of challenges, nor am I afraid of facing enemies who are stronger than myself.
Also, I prefer to take the initiative rather than fight back after being provoked.
After all, offense is the best defense."
Zuo Si corrected meaningfully.
Shane VII sighed helplessly: "Well - okay, I admit that what you said makes some sense.
But could you help me fend off those annoying NPCs and give me a chance to have a spell duel with him? This is really important to me."
Zuo Si shrugged and responded, "No problem. But not now. It will take some time to prepare. I don't want to scare him and affect the next plan."
"Haha, don't worry, I know what's important.
Come on, while you have time now, I'll take you to meet the interesting Golden Princess Lana.
She is really special, and should suit your taste..."
After saying that, Sean VII put down his teacup, stood up, and made a gesture of invitation.
