This can be seen from the original plot, when the adventurers rushed into the Great Tomb of Nazarick and found a box of treasure. They thought that on average each person could get a dozen or twenty gold coins, which would be a windfall and they could get a glimpse of the treasure.
The ratio between platinum coins, gold coins, silver coins and copper plates is basically maintained at one to ten.
Normally, a night's stay in a worse inn would only cost five to seven copper coins (including three meals), and for one or two copper coins you could even get a meal with meat in a tavern. Twenty to thirty gold coins could allow a family of three to live comfortably for several years.
A craftsman's income was about one silver coin a day, while a peasant's was only six copper coins.
Therefore, it can be basically judged that the purchasing power of gold coins in this world is obviously much higher than that of the continent of Faerun, but the difference between silver coins and copper plates is almost the same.
This may be due to the limited reserves and mining difficulty of gold, silver and copper mines, or it may be that the world's overall productivity level is slightly higher, resulting in a relatively sufficient supply of daily necessities.
Like Faerûn, magical items and luxury goods were completely separated from the common people from the very beginning.
Even the cheapest healing potion is sold in gold coins.
Enchanted weapons and equipment cost at least one thousand gold coins, and slightly better ones cost more than five thousand.
In short, five million gold coins are enough to recruit an elite professional mercenary force of about thirty to fifty thousand people and maintain it for ten years.
Although in terms of numbers it may not be comparable to the kingdom that can mobilize 340,000 inferior troops at once, let alone the empire's elite army of up to 80,000, it is definitely enough to fight a civil war for the right of succession.
After all, when a civil war is going on, the kingdom's nobles cannot unite as they would in a foreign war, but will instead be divided into countless factions.
Not only the two princes, but even the two married princesses and their husbands may have ideas about the throne.
Therefore, 30,000 to 50,000 elite professional mercenaries, with the assistance of diplomacy and wisdom, can form an advantage of outnumbering in local areas and crush those stupid and greedy nobles one after another.
First deal with the great nobles who have appeal and influence, and then clear out the small nobles who are as annoying as psoriasis one by one.
In addition, a small portion of the money could be used as bait to lure the nobles into fighting for it, and ultimately prevent them from forming an alliance due to mutual hostility.
In just a few seconds, a series of evil thoughts and plans emerged in the mind of Golden Princess Lana.
Since she no longer considers herself as a human being, there is no possibility that she would be troubled by family ties, friendships, etc. and would not be able to take action.
If Zuo Si had not wanted to preserve the kingdom's current population as much as possible in order to transform it into a machine for external expansion and exporting war, Lana would not have minded setting off a violent turmoil that would sweep across the country, killing hundreds of thousands or even two or three million people.
You have to know that the "Kingdom of Li Yestije" has a population of up to tens of millions, and the inhabited area alone is quite considerable.
Taking into account the vast tracts of uninhabited forests, mountains and rivers, its land area is equivalent to about half of the modern French Republic, or about 275,000 square kilometers.
Because the kingdom has long occupied the most fertile land within the human sphere of influence, it is actually the most populous, most suitable for farming, and relatively rich in various minerals and other resources among many human countries.
More importantly, the two countries bordering it are an empire and a theocracy with humans as the main body, and there are basically no threats such as sub-humans and aliens.
Initially, the Church hoped that the Kingdom could breed more powerful humans in this fertile land without threats, so as to cope with the so-called "hundred-year aftershocks", that is, the huge crisis brought about by the "time travel" of players and their guilds, and at the same time accumulate strength to defeat other non-human races and eventually become the undisputed overlord of the entire world.
Unfortunately, the top leaders of the Church at that time obviously had never heard the saying "Born in adversity, die in comfort".
Although in the beginning, the kingdom did create a prosperous era.
But soon, as there was no threat from outside, the classic power struggle and infighting began.
Especially the forty years of Busha III's reign were an unmitigated disaster.
Under his policy of appeasement and compromise, the nobles became more and more arrogant, corrupt and degenerate.
Moreover, the quality of their descendants is getting worse and worse, and they no longer have the brave and martial spirit that their ancestors had when they started their business.
Not to mention nurturing any strong men, even the quality of grassroots soldiers has been declining again and again.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Theocracy changed its attitude and supported the Empire's annexation of the Kingdom.
At least Lana felt that if she were a high-ranking official in the Theocracy, she would have sent people to kill her father, the useless person, and then massacre the entire aristocracy from top to bottom, and then choose a strong and capable monarch to clean up the mess.
The fact that the other party has been able to endure for so many years and has chosen a more covert approach is already because we are of the same human race.
Just as Lana put away the box full of gold coins, a plump, fat man suddenly opened the door and rushed in from outside despite Climb's attempts to stop him.
When he saw the two people in the room maintaining an ambiguous posture, his fat face was suddenly filled with unconcealed shock. He immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "My dear sister, what are you doing? Who is this guy with unknown origins?"
There is no doubt that this guy is none other than the second prince in line to the throne of the kingdom - Zanak, Lana's second brother, a man with some self-awareness and good political talent.
At the same time, he is one of the few sober people who can see the situation clearly and understand that the crisis is looming over the entire country.
The reason why he appeared here was to find out the truth about how Warrior Captain Gazef was besieged and almost couldn't return, and which nobles were involved.
Zanak has a very clear understanding of his terrible sister, and even semi-publicly calls her a "monster", making no secret of his inner fear and dread of Lana.
But at the same time, he also knew that only with the help of his sister could he defeat his eldest brother who had the support of the nobles and the Eight Fingers and prevent the entire country from falling into an irretrievable situation.
"Brother, it is very impolite to enter someone else's room without permission. Once it gets out, your already bad image in the eyes of the nobles will inevitably get worse."
An imperceptible murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Golden Princess. The sorcerer's terrifying magic flames surged out from his palms. With just a thought, he could completely wipe out this "good brother" without leaving even a corpse or residue.
But just as she was about to make a move, Zuo Si suddenly revealed a playful smile, walked up to her, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "Hello, Your Highness. My name is Sos, and I am an adventurer who was commissioned by the princess to investigate something."
"Adventurer?"
Zanak raised his eyebrows, clearly not believing the statement.
As a prince, he had received a very good education since childhood and had met countless people. It was easy to feel the temperament of a superior that had been cultivated over a long period of time from Zuo Si's eyes, movements and expressions.
Especially that kind of very strong aura, even his father who had been king for forty years did not have it, so how could he be an adventurer.
Although there are many adventurers of noble birth, they are generally the second and third sons who have no chance of inheriting titles, property, and territories.
But Zuo Si didn't seem to care what the other party was thinking. Instead, he nodded and said, "That's right. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to try. I am quite confident in my swordsmanship."
Hearing this, Zanak subconsciously glanced at Zuo Si's arms and palms. He found neither the thick arm muscles like those of Warrior Captain Gazef, nor the calluses from frequent sword practice. He immediately felt that his IQ was insulted. He turned around and asked his sister: "Lana, is it okay for me to do a little test on the adventurer you hired?" "Please do it."
The Golden Princess suppressed her murderous intent and shrugged her shoulders.
Although she didn't quite understand what the master she was loyal to wanted to do.
But one thing is certain, that is, even if all the guards and knights in the entire palace were added together, they could not expect to pose even the slightest threat to the master.
After all, Lana had seen Zuo Si's great devil form with her own eyes, and knew how indestructible the scales on his body were. Even the royal secret treasure [Razor Blade] might not be able to cut a tiny wound on the surface.
“既然如此,那我就不客气了。”
说罢,赛纳克冲身后的一名护卫使了个颜色。
后者心领神会,立刻拔出佩剑摆出一副要进攻的架势。
由于这个房间原本就是用来会客的,因此拥有很大的空间,并不用太担心简单的剑术切磋会对周围摆设造成什么破坏。
从干净利落的动作不难看出,这名护卫应该是接受过严格的战士训练,武器为一柄略显沉重的半手剑,既能单手使用也能双手使用。
可问题是他摆了半天架势也不见对手有拔剑的意思,立刻皱起眉头质问:“你为什么还不拔出武器?”
“你只管进攻就好。如果我认为有必要,自然会选择拔剑。”
左思用一种令人感到十分不快的轻慢语气做出回应。
毫无疑问,这完全可以算得上是赤裸裸毫不掩饰的羞辱。
别说是一位被选中护卫王子的精英骑士,就是稍微有点血气和自尊的战士都不可能容忍这样的挑衅。
所以这名三十岁上下的护卫立刻被激怒了,眼睛里闪烁着愤怒的火光。
“这可是你自己说的!到时候受伤或是死了可怨不得我!”
“受伤? 死亡?
不好意思,我觉得王国境内可能还不存在这样的人。
哪怕是那位战士长葛杰夫也不例外。
好了,别废话,快点攻过来吧。
我的时间可是很紧迫的。
解决掉你之后还有很多重要的事情要忙呢。”
左思故意摆出一副不耐烦的样子催促道。
用屁股想也知道,在他这番言词的刺激下,对方早就被激得因为愤怒而失去理智,怒喝一声便挥剑冲了过来。
由于护卫使用的是半手剑,因此不管是长度还是重量,都明显远比左思腰间挂着的魔月之刃要高出一截。
为了最大限度发挥自身优势,他没有使用那些华而不实的技巧,就是一击朴实无华的大力重劈,也可以被称之为“拜年剑法”。
别看简单且不需要太多的技巧,可是在战斗中却非常有效。
哪怕面对重甲目标,只要能成功命中也会给对方造成不小的伤害。
可仅仅一秒钟之后,在场所有人就目瞪口呆的看到,左思只用两根手指就轻松夹住了这记重劈。
即便护卫用尽全身力气、胳膊在不受控制的轻微抖动,整个脸更是憋得通红,也没办法让剑刃再前进一寸,同样也没办法抽回来。
但凡不是傻子都能看得出,两人之间不管是力量还是反应都有着一条不可逾越的鸿沟。
每天都在刻苦锻炼的克莱姆瞳孔已经放大到极限,拼命眨着眼睛想要搞清楚刚才短短百分之一秒内究竟发生了什么。
就在房间内几个人都陷入了沉默的刹那,一阵细微的响声突然从剑身上传来。
咔嚓——咔嚓——咔嚓——
还没等有谁反应过来,护卫所使用的半手剑表面便出现了密密麻麻宛如蜘蛛网一样的裂纹。
下一秒……
砰! 整个剑突然之间崩裂,化作数不清的金属残片哗啦啦掉落在地面上。
而持剑的护卫也不知道是用力过猛还是脱力了,整个人扑通一声瘫坐在地上,满脸都是震惊和难以置信的表情。
尤其是碎裂剑身上那块被手指捏到凹陷下去的部分,让他感觉自己在面对的不是什么人类,而是一个披着人皮的恐怖怪物。
“如何,王子殿下,您现在应该相信我是一名冒险者了吧?”左思面带微笑的询问道。
“当……当然!我当然相信!”
赛纳克咕咚一声咽了口唾沫。
徒手捏碎一柄由王室锻造的精钢半手剑? 这种恐怕的实力估计已经超越了英雄领域,明显是站在人类种最顶点强者才能做到的事情。
他又不是傻瓜,怎么可能不知道这样的人有多恐怖,估计也只有战士长葛杰夫佩戴上王室秘宝之后才能勉强抵挡两下。
拉娜见状更是忍不住抿起嘴角露出戏谑的笑容,用不温不火的语气低声威胁道:“亲爱的兄长,如果换成我是你就会好好的克制自己多余的好奇心。
要知道在这个世界上,知道太多不该知道的秘密可不是什么好事。
相信你应该也不会希望自己突然像之前那些贵族一样,一觉醒来发现枕头边上摆放着血淋淋的人头吧?
还有就是千万不要认为住在王宫里便安全了。
对于真正的强者而言,杀死你其实跟碾死一只蚂蚁没有什么分别。
记住,把刚才发生的事情烂在肚子里,不要向任何人透露半句。”
说完这句话,公主抬起手轻轻拍了拍二王子那张略显肥硕的脸,眼睛里迸射出骇人的幽光。
不用问也知道,她正在使用一种基础的低级邪术【诡骗术】。
该魔法可以让施法者在对目标进行唬骗、交涉和威吓时获得巨大的优势加成。
可怜的赛纳克哪里承受得了这个,直接被吓到差点尿了裤子,只觉得自己这位“怪物”妹妹此时此刻简直就像是个吃人的妖魔,整个心理防线被瞬间击溃,根本不敢有任何犹豫迅速给出承诺,然后带着手下那个同样受到魔法影响被吓傻的护卫逃之夭夭。
估计留下心理阴影之后,他在很长一段时间内都不会再敢靠近拉娜。
看着这个小胖墩一路跌跌撞撞连滚带爬的狼狈模样,左思忍不住笑着评价道:“你这位兄长很有意思。我想他在接下来的计划中,肯定会给我们带来很多意想不到的乐趣。”
“您为什么不让我直接杀了他?”
娜拉一脸不解的问。
“如果现在杀了他,那些贵族和八指的势力就会全力支持你另外一位兄长上位,甚至是发动政变软禁乃至杀死你的父亲。
如果直接使用武力强行夺取政权,会让王国陷入很长一段时间的动荡、不安与虚弱。
这跟我们的计划背道而驰。
更何况我很期待他在这场权力游戏中的表现,以及灵魂中可能会绽放出来的光芒。
亲爱的拉娜,你要明白对于魔鬼来说,灵魂的品质跟数量同等重要。
如果设下一个局就能激发某个凡人灵魂的潜力,那么一定不要吝啬去做。
因为一个璀璨夺目的灵魂所能带来的利益,要远比几百个乃至几千个平凡灵魂加在一起还要多得多。
所以尽可能去培养你认为灵魂中蕴含着潜力的人吧。
给他们发挥自己才能、提升思想境界跟觉悟的舞台,让他们在希望与绝望之间不断地徘徊,最终绽放出最美丽的罪恶之花。
唯有如此,当收割的时候才能获得前所未有的满足感。”
左思十分耐心的教导着眼前年轻公主如何当好一个魔鬼。
因为他觉得对方真的很有潜力,只要好好培养完全可以成长为大魔鬼中的一员,协助自己管理地狱第九层庞大的领地,处理各种复杂的政治跟外交事务。
“灵魂……”
拉娜下意识撇了一眼回到门口站岗的克莱姆,似乎领悟到了什么,眼神中闪烁着令人不寒而栗的光芒。
不用问也知道,这个无知的少年灵魂中也蕴含一个璀璨夺目的闪光点。
如果好好培养,最终使其在痛苦与绝望中走向堕落,那么她就能获得一条真正意义上的完美“忠犬”。
结束了与黄金公主的谈话之后,左思并没有急着离开这个世界,而是找了个没人的地方召唤出几个深狱炼魔和数以千计的低级魔鬼。
然后命令每个高级魔鬼带领一部分低级魔鬼,前往这个世界的其他国家跟地区开展业务。
相比起人类,异族和亚人才是这个世界占据压倒性数量的群体。
另外,这些魔鬼还肩负着搜集情报的任务。
在大批量放玩家们进来之前,左思希望能先搞清楚这个世界的大致情况和势力分布。
……
与此同时,远在耶·兰提尔的冒险者旅店内。
老骨头终于如愿以偿在支付了两件价值不菲的魔法物品后,成功雇佣到了一支由玩家组成的小队。
他自以为对方根本不清楚自己的身份,想要借助雇佣的这段时间来打听情报。
殊不知,这些粘上毛比猴还精的家伙早就已经确认了他的身份,双方一路之上疯狂的互飙演技。
玩家们故意隐瞒部分自己所掌握的奥术和神术信息,甚至把作为杀手锏的底牌全部藏起来。
他们一有空就哭穷、哭惨,甚至故意联系其他玩家扮演山贼、强盗,在战斗中弄得自己伤亡惨重,想要尝试着从老骨头身上多薅点羊毛。
队伍才出发没两天功夫,后者就在不知不觉之间多支付了不少魔法药水、卷轴和物品。
Even though Lao Gutou was a relatively shrewd and cautious person, he could never beat this kind of group fraud. He was completely led by the nose and didn't notice the trick at all.
When night fell and the team began to camp in the wild, Bones found an opportunity to pull Sebastian aside and asked in a low voice, "Where are Soluluoxiang and Shalltear now? How far are they from us?"
"They are already in position. With your order, they can launch an attack at any time to test the true strength of these adventurers."
Sebastian answered without hesitation.
It was obvious that Old Bones' real intention in hiring the players, in addition to gathering information, was to take this opportunity to test the top combat power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and their performance in battle.
After all, when it comes to fighting, you have to fight first before you know the outcome.
Especially since the players have mastered so many magics that he has never heard of or seen before.
As the one with the highest combat power among all the max-level NPCs in the guild, Shalltear is obviously one of the protagonists of this test.
In addition, another reason is that Lai Gutou is unable to determine the true level of these players through simple communication.
After pondering for a moment, he finally raised his head and said, "Then let them do it tonight. Remember, don't reveal your true identity."
"clear!"
Sebastian frowned slightly, as if he did not approve of such despicable behavior.
As one of the few NPCs in the guild who is extremely good, he actually dislikes the other evil companions in the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick.
If it weren't for his absolute loyalty, a normal person would have betrayed or even run away long ago.
Especially when Sebastian heard Albedo, Demiurge and other guys talking about "human" and "inferior creatures" without trying to hide the evil in their hearts, he had the urge to pin them to the ground and beat them up.
There is no doubt that this is a very obvious internal rift.
Unfortunately, Old Bones, whose head was full of other thoughts, did not notice it, but continued to play the role of a rich young master and returned to the camp to get close to those players.
After a simple dinner, he returned to the carriage and pretended to rest.
When it was around midnight and most people had gone to bed, Soluluoxiang and Shalltear, who had received the order, finally stood on the cliff only a few hundred meters away from the camp.
The latter took a moment to confirm the target, then licked his lips and said with a bloodthirsty look on his face: "Ah! It seems that these are the delicious snacks specially prepared for us by the Supreme Being. I hope their blood will taste good, because I am very, very thirsty now."
“Lord Shalltear, do you want me to go over and test it first?”
Suo Liuxiang, who looked like a blonde lady, asked in a low voice.
Since she is a combat maid, her status is much lower than Shalltear, who is a guardian of the plane.
"No, there is no need for that. This battle was originally a test, so there is no need to use other means. Just fight head-on."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the true vampire disguised as a Gothic Lolita leaped directly from the cliff hundreds of meters high, and then turned into a dark red phantom and rushed straight towards the camp.
Suo Liuxiang followed closely behind at a very fast speed.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, successfully crossed the distance in space in less than two or three minutes. They were about to break into the camp and kill the sleeping players.
But just one second later, a piercing scream, accompanied by explosions, fire and lightning, directly blew the two reckless guys who didn't even do any reconnaissance into a horrible state.
Ever since they knew Old Bones' identity, the players in the team had already set up a large number of traps in the surrounding camps.
Some of them were arranged by high-level thieves, as well as by mages and warlocks.
From early warning to damage, control, and blocking, it has almost everything, blocking all necessary paths.
The moment Shalltear began to charge, the outermost magic alarm barrier had already silently awakened all the sleeping players.
The reason they didn't take action immediately was that they wanted to see how many traps this idiot could fall into.
As expected, Shalltear stepped on more than thirty traps along the road.
The damage caused by the flames, explosions, strong acid, and lightning alone made all her clothes look tattered. She had abandoned her original cute loli appearance like a madman, revealing her ugly and twisted true form like a lamprey.
Whether it's the mouth full of fangs and leech-like tongue, or the murderous intent emanating from his body, one can clearly sense that this guy has entered a state of violence and bloodthirstiness because of anger.
"Kill...Kill you all! I will kill you all! Suck all the blood out of your body!!!"
"Oh - damn. This guy actually went into a blood frenzy right from the start."
When Old Bones, who was hiding in the carriage, saw this scene, he immediately covered his face in silence.
Similarly, he also admired the calm team of players outside.
Because from the beginning to the end, he didn't notice when the other party had quietly set up so many magic traps.
Judging from Shalltear's miserable condition, these traps had taken away at least one third or even more of her health.
"Hahahaha! Kill us all? Come over here if you've got the guts!"
A high-level warrior wearing a full body armor of mithril raised his finger, laughed wildly and made a provocative gesture.
Shalltear didn't have much brains to begin with, and she was even more trapped in a state of "blood frenzy", unable to maintain even the most basic sanity. So she immediately rushed forward without hesitation, waving her sharp claws and trying to tear open the opponent's chest, dig out the heart and enjoy the blood inside.
But just within a second after she rushed out, her whole body slammed into the invisible force field wall with a bang, and her chest, which had no movement to begin with, almost flattened on the spot.
Before this guy could react, a gorgeous storm of missiles drew graceful arcs in the air and hit her like raindrops.
In the blink of an eye, blood splattered everywhere!
As a noble force field damage, the biggest advantage of magic missile is that it can ignore immunity.
This means that no matter how high the physical defense and magical defense are, a certain amount of damage will inevitably be caused.
"Assholes! How dare you lowly humans!"
The series of humiliations drove Shalltear into a frenzy. She began to howl like a madman, then leaped aside to bypass the force wall and continued to rush forward.
As her health points continued to decrease, she was more eager to draw blood than ever.
But the players who came prepared would never give her a chance to get close, and the shooters fired a volley of shots without saying a word.
Among them are both enchanted arrows and bullets for firearms.
Although Shalltear managed to dodge some of them and took some of them with her excellent defense, she was still successfully blocked.
Just when she was about to use the magic she mastered, a wizard finally completed the spell he had prepared. An invisible force field fighter dropped from the sky and pinned her to the ground with a bang. No matter how she struggled, it was of no use.
[Big Bai Grasping Palm]! The players only used a seventh-level spell to control this NPC who ranked at the top of the overall strength ranking in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Just as another mage was about to release [Sunburst] to send Shalltear to her death, she finally regained her sanity from her "Blood Rage" state and entered the "Bloody War Girl" form in just one second.
The huge red armor wrapped him tightly from head to toe.
"careful!"
A warrior player noticed that something was wrong and grabbed his mage companion who was trying to move forward.
As it turned out, his judgment was correct.
Just a second later, Shalltear, who was pinned to the spot by the grappling hands, turned into a puff of smoke and escaped from the restraints.
Then he cast flying magic to quickly increase his altitude and get out of the attack range of the force field.
Then, she stood in mid-air and began to cast various strengthening and defensive magics on herself. She raised her hand and released the tenth-level [Monster Summoning], which was actually equivalent to the [Nine-Ring Monster Summoning] of the continent of Faerun.
In the blink of an eye, some huge and ferocious creatures appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the players' location at the command of the summoner.
Shalltear's goal was very simple, which was to first destroy the coordination between the opponent's spellcasters and warriors, and then find an opportunity to kill those mages, warlocks and priests first.
Because through the brief fight just now, she could clearly feel that the threat posed by the caster was many times greater than that of the warrior.
Especially those spells that you are not familiar with at all, if you are not careful, you may fail miserably.
But unfortunately, [Monster Summoning] didn't have any effect.
After all, she was now dealing with players with ninth-ring spellcasting abilities, not the local natives who had trouble casting sixth-ring spells.
It doesn't take much, just a five-ring [Expulsion Spell] is enough, no matter what the summoned creature is, it will be forcibly sent back instantly.
The [Undead Summoning] magic, which is also at the tenth level, can also be easily disintegrated and killed by the divine arts mastered by the players.
Only the tenth-tier magic [Internal Explosion], which was similar to the nine-ring magic [Implosion] of the continent of Faerun, managed to cause some damage among the players.
But the problem is that the person who was killed was resurrected on the spot by divine magic a few seconds later...
Moreover, Shalltear could not see even a trace of fear on the players' faces. Instead, there was only the same hunger and excitement as she had before, like a hungry wolf.
Needless to say, this was because it was the first time they encountered an enemy that could crazily cast high-level magic and divine arts, and all the elite players present were in ecstasy.
Stronger enemies mean more experience points and better loot.
Not to mention, just the blood-red armor on the opponent's body and the dropper spear in his hand made many people drool.
Because under the effect of magical vision, the above two pieces of equipment are emitting dazzling light.
"Damn it! These guys are much more difficult than I thought!"
Having consumed a large amount of mana, Shalltear finally began to realize the seriousness of the problem, and her expression began to become increasingly ugly.
The reason was simple! In this wave of consumption, she was clearly at an absolute disadvantage.
In addition, the thought of Old Bones sitting in the carriage and looking at him, while he was behaving so poorly, suddenly filled him with impatience.
After much hesitation, the true vampire finally plucked up the courage and swooped down at an extremely fast speed, intending to eliminate all enemies through physical attacks.
[Impure Impact Shield]! When Shalltear was about to approach the ground, she decisively activated her own defensive ability and successfully blocked the slash of a high-level warrior.
Just as she raised her hand to get rid of the wizard who was close to her, the latter suddenly showed a sinister smile on his face, raised the ram-shaped ring in his hand, and launched the force field impact stored in it without hesitation.
Before he could react, a huge sheep's head made of energy appeared out of nowhere in front of him and crashed into him with the force of thunder.
The next second...
boom!!!!!!!!!!
Shalltear flew sideways like a cannonball and crashed directly into the rocks next to her.
"Now! Kill her!"
One player yelled at the top of his lungs.
Immediately afterwards, violent explosions, electric lights, strong acid, sonic waves and force field damage covered the entire area.
The merciless fire coverage made the old man hiding in the carriage observing the situation feel terrified.
Since Shalltear's occupation consists of race, warrior, and priest, she does not have a complete spell list, nor does she have much protective magic ability. She mainly relies on constantly sucking blood to restore herself in battle to fight a war of attrition.
But now, the players didn't give her any chance to get close to her, and they also deliberately consumed a wave of her mana.
So Lao Gutou felt that his subordinate was about to lose his first life.
As it turned out, his prediction was correct.
When a round of magic bombardment ended, Shalltear's resurrection item was finally triggered. She returned to full health again and directly summoned a large number of subordinate creatures, which rushed towards the players like an arrow.
"Gah! He can actually be resurrected?"
The leading player was obviously a little dumbfounded.
Because he had never thought that the opponent had the ability to resurrect, the previous round directly caused the spellcasters in the team to use up most of the high-level spell slots.
Bang! With a loud noise from the violent collision, a shield warrior was knocked several meters away and almost couldn't keep his balance.
A stealth thief nearby noticed that his companion could not hold on any longer, so he immediately jumped out and backstabbed him, inserting the enchanted dagger into the gap between Shalltear's armor and cheek, directly piercing her neck.
If it were an ordinary humanoid creature, this would undoubtedly be a fatal injury.
But for a vampire, it was just an ordinary skin wound.
Shalltear pierced the thief's heart with her dropper spear, then grinned and said, "You should be proud of yourself for being able to kill me once, human."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
The rogue player also grinned and revealed a chilling smile.
Just one second later, his body suddenly exploded without any warning.
Boom!!!! The energy mixed with flames, strong acid, and lightning, as well as the shock wave and fragments formed by the high-explosive gunpowder, instantly injured Shalltear, who was still speaking out loudly a second ago.
Especially the originally cute little girl's face, which was now covered with marks of burns, corrosion, and scratches from explosion fragments, and an enchanted dagger was inserted into one of the eyes.
Oh shit!
Self... self-destruction?!
Not only was Shalltear stunned by the explosion, but Old Man Bones, who was sitting in the carriage, was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't believe it even in his dreams. These adventurers were so crazy that they made their bodies into a magic trap and explosive, and detonated them without hesitation before dying, perishing together with the enemy.
madman!
They are just a bunch of lunatics! How could a normal person think of such behavior?
At this moment, Old Bones has already labeled the players as "extremely dangerous" and "do not provoke unless necessary" in his heart.
He simply couldn't imagine how many resources he would have to spend and how many NPCs he would have to lose in order to stop them if these guys gathered together to attack the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Similarly, after experiencing the pleasure of being hit right in the face with a self-explosion, Shalltear did not dare to launch another attack. Even Soruoxiang, who was hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, stopped all actions.
Both of them revealed shock and fear that could not be concealed in their eyes.
So horrible!
How could these humans explode over a single disagreement? They were even crazier than the alien NPCs and undead in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
With the explosion damage caused by the thief's death just now, Shalltear would be blown to death if she stabbed three or four of them at most, and she wouldn't be able to suck any blood at all.
You don't need to ask to know that all of this is prepared in advance by the players when they accept the employment of Old Bones.
They knew very well that at their current level it was impossible for them to defeat so many high-level NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick in a head-on battle, and they were prepared for annihilation from the very beginning.
As long as we can collect enough information and gain some experience points, this trip will not be a loss.
The magic traps, devices and high explosives placed in the body even received support from other player teams around.
So these guys in front of you are completely barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Even if they die, they will break a few of your teeth.
There is nothing more frightening than an enemy who wants to die together with you.
So the situation entered a strange stalemate.
No one, including Old Bone, knows how this will end.
Just as the air around them began to solidify, a sound of extremely fast running suddenly came from a distance, instantly making the already tense scene even more tense...
(End of this chapter)
