Blood of Mercury

Roland was awakened by pain.

There was a constant tearing pain in the left abdomen. His face turned pale as he felt the tumbling of his internal organs.

...what happened?

He opened his eyes blankly, and the smell of incense around him made his drowsy brain a little awake.

By the way, he should be leading the comrades of the Crystal Fire Guild to fight against a wave of players infected by the dusk on the Dallonsfer. This group of players are members of the Peace Council. They have been fighting on the front line of the Twilight Species and the demon invasion, so the chance of being infected after the death of the character is much greater than that of the players who came to the rescue.

Although Roland's profession is not something upright, he also has to admit that those people are undoubtedly worthy of respect, and if they don't incinerate their bodies infected by dusk, those players' characters will not be able to play in the game. The Well of Order is resurrected. Even if it is from the overall situation, even if the entire guild died three or four times, their bodies must be burned.

It turns out that they really underestimated the high-level players of the Peace Council. Even if the system AI imitates their fighting style, it is not something that second-tier guilds like Crystal Fire can resist. There were a total of seven infected people, one of them was held by the chief wizard of the guild, and the remaining five directly penetrated the crystal fire's elite group of nearly 100 people in just 30 seconds. Roland was also distracted by the radiant hand on the opposite side and somehow went around in front of him, and then directly knocked his plate armor profession to the ground with an upright frontal kidney attack in front of his face.

At the moment when he was hit by the kidney shot consecrated by the hand of Radiance, the screen became pitch black, as if he was knocked unconscious by a sap, and Roland himself lost consciousness.

what happened? Has a burglar entered the house?

This was Roland's first reaction.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, he felt that he was lying somewhere dirty and hard. It feels a bit like a carriage carriage, very cramped. Looking out the window, it was pitch black outside. His own face was dimly reflected in the reflective surface of the glass, pale and weak from the loss of blood and painful stools for unknown reasons.

However, even if he was knocked out by someone with a sap and brought here, why is his head not hurting at all, and the severe pain like being stabbed is constantly coming from his stomach?

Just when Roland was barely supporting his body, a surprised and clear cry came from across the dark carriage.

"Wait, are you awake?"

When Roland realized that the voice was neither English nor Chinese, or even any commonly used language on earth, but he could understand it without hindrance, he was immediately taken aback.

That is the common language of the surface races in the [Land of the Gods]. As a completely original language, players can only use the subtitles brought by the [Common Language] skill to understand the meaning of the aborigines. But when the game was released three years later, players could basically understand and speak fluent Common Language without subtitles. After version 3.3.0 and seven full years of game time, even most players can Word Art is written in Common Language.

But no matter how familiar you are with this language, unless you are a patient with severe secondary illness, you will definitely not choose this language as a way of talking in daily communication.

"May the Lord give me light."

A low prayer made Roland's eyebrows twitch.

This is the astral language, or the divine language. Before 2.2.3, it existed as a language passed between priests.

But the next scene made Roland widen his eyes in surprise.

The golden light was condensed and turned into an illusory rune like "le", suspended on a pair of white and slender hands, constantly spinning and blooming with a clear light. It reflected the white-robed girl with beautiful long platinum-blond hair and eyes as blue and pure as a lake on the opposite side.

Illumination?

I didn't dream, did I?

"How's it going? Are you feeling okay?"

The girl didn't pay attention to Roland's expression, but walked over from the opposite side and bent down to carefully examine the wound on his left abdomen.

At this time, Roland noticed that he was still wearing the special peripheral pajamas sent by the official.

This pajama is Roland's first inaugural coffin bearer player, and fortunately participated in the main quest of Chapter 3 with some real high-level players - such as those players in the Peace Council, and got a high evaluation from the system. After the official Out-of-print souvenirs presented. In the selection of more than 20 souvenirs, Roland, as a pragmatist, chose this comfortable and breathable pajamas made of high-grade materials without hesitation.

It's not just because he basically doesn't go out unless necessary, and stays in the office playing games all the time. And he valued the style of this pajamas more in a sense.

Under the premise of ensuring lightness and fit, this set of pajamas imitates the style of the T1 Druid suit Black Vine Resentment in the Land of the Gods. In the beginning, the reason why Roland didn't play the Druid's tuba and switched to the trumpet, apart from business reasons, was because he couldn't play the T1 suit even if he reached full level, so he thought he was a virtuous man. Ruyi is unlucky. The Black Vine Resentment can be said to be one of Roland's biggest resentments, so after seeing the introduction of this pajamas, he chose it directly, and he didn't even look at the souvenirs at the back.

However, at the lower abdomen of this set of his incomparably beloved pajamas, there was a two-finger-long knife that completely cut off one of the lines. And unlike usual, the whole set of pajamas exudes a quiet fragrance, and the lines that have not been cut are still faintly emitting a dull light.

...Wait, belly?

Thinking of the battle before the coma, Roland vaguely had an idea that surprised him.

But he wasn't quite sure. So Roland just looked calmly at the priest who didn't know which **** it was, bowed his head and leaned in front of him, and his right hand, which was close to his abdomen, faintly glowed with golden light.

"Can I ask, how is my wound?"

Roland thought for a while and asked.

"It's much better now. In fact, the punctured kidney is not a serious injury. It's just that there is a very violent positive energy vibrating around your wound, which hinders the performance of the treatment." The blonde girl tilted her head in distress. , "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such pure and violent positive energy... It's just..."

Speaking of which, she suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

Although she didn't say it, Roland knew what she wanted to say.

If this world is indeed the world of Faens, the land of the gods, then Roland probably understands the current situation better than her gods.

It is only natural that I have never seen such pure positive energy. Rather, it is normal.

Since the priest's magic has not been deprived, it means that it is still the year of the gods. The three saints have not returned from the sea of ​​​​chaos. The gods who hold supreme authority do not have such pure power themselves, let alone give it to them. for believers.

If nothing else, the wound on the abdomen was caused by a dagger from the radiant hand. As compensation for the loss of stealth and sneak attacks, each attack of the Radiant Hand counts as a weakness attack, even if their foe does not have a weakness of their own. At the same time, the radiant hand's attack can ignore all defenses when facing enemies without legendary armor, and each hit has a stackable continuous flare damage. This kind of damage itself is a Dot, but it is neither poison nor curse, so it cannot be dispelled by conventional means.

But, then again. Should it be his character, not himself, who was injured by that radiant hand? He is playing the female account, even if it is time-travel, either he will come over by himself, or he will come over as a character. What is it that he crosses over with the damage his character suffers?

His pajamas—or robes now—did not have deep pockets. Roland took a cursory look and found that the only things he was carrying were a thin notebook and a ballpoint pen, in order to keep track of important new events on the forum and some information related to the triggering of special tasks. After many years of accumulation, this is already his fourteenth notepad.

Without leaving any traces, Roland pretended to tidy up his collar and carefully looked at the notepad in his inner pocket as he sat up slowly. To his surprise, the first few pages of the book had become blank, but Roland pinched it, and the book was basically the same thickness as it was full of pages, indicating that the content on it was not torn off by anyone.

Even some traces of Roland's use are still preserved. For example, Roland likes to slowly rub the corners of the notebook while writing. At this moment, the corners of the pages of the notebook in Roland's arms are still rolled up, but the inside The content is blank.

What a pity. Roland sighed.

It would be great if the things recorded in it were still preserved. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the things recorded here are priceless.

That's a record from the future.

"By the way, where are we now? This...?"

Pretending to be casual, Roland suddenly turned around and asked the priest girl with a smile.

"My name is Claudia, Claudia Crowley. You can just call me Claudia."

The blonde girl exhaled, stood up and said to Roland with a smile.

"It was Uncle Kluveen who found you in the dark forest, and now we are about to reach the matte trail." She gestured out the window by the light of her fingertips.

"Look, that's Del Ramos' breath."

Matte trails...?

Roland frowned slightly.

He has an impression of this.

It was an old version of the 20th level map of the Banza Kingdom. It was once noticed by many smugglers and smugglers because it was on the border between Banza and Kalar. But the reason why it is famous among players is because in the center of the map, the ancient monster Del Ramos, who has been sleeping for thousands of years.

Del Ramos is an epic field leader with a challenge level of 80. That is to say, to defeat Del Ramos, you need a team of at least forty people, and the average level of the team members is above 80. It is basically possible.

Roland remembered that Del Ramos' first kill was done by the Peace Council last month.

At that time, there was a lot of noise on the forum. Some people blamed them for not fighting the Twilight Seeds and the demons and went out for a walk. They also strongly supported the Peace Council, saying that they couldn't leave all the difficult tasks to others. So it's rare that Roland still has an impression of this.

Of course, Del Ramos didn't wake up until the Lost Christmas version. Until then it had lain dormant in the seal set by the ancient druid Master Hard Oak. That is to say, the four maps including the Sunset Plain, the Dark Forest, the Matte Trail and the Trace of No Light. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Challenges dangerous areas ranging from twenty-five to forty.

Here, the magic contained in Del Ramos' breath enchanted all creatures here. The rare wing tree in the outside world is everywhere because of the nourishment of magic, but the color of the wing branches and leaves has changed from pure white to black, so it has completely lost its value.

In addition, there are many strange-shaped creatures here, like stitched monsters or synthetic beasts. Glimpse is assembled from the shape of animals, and it is not surprising that it is composed of anything. The only thing these glimpses have in common is that all of them are pitch black and have wolf-like green eyes.

Most of the silhouettes that appeared in the matte trail were the silhouettes of erect species with ape bodies. The jumping ability is excellent, and it is easy to cause huge damage to the cloth armor profession.

This thing can be regarded as a new generation of killers in Banza. Although it is not as famous as the corpse of the Principality of Caral, it is also a dangerous species that kills countless people.

The most important thing is that if you have already advanced to the matte trail, there will be a glimpse of the elite from the dull trail.

These shadows have plundered enough shadows, the whole body has been completely shadowed, the usual detection methods are all invalid, and physical attacks are mostly immune, and at this level, sorcery and divine magic do not have enough damage. It can be said that once encountered is the crisis of destroying the group.

Roland sighed in his heart, and decided to remind this team that he didn't know whether it was a caravan or a mercenary group.

It is really impossible to continue to move forward.

But before that, he wanted to see what he could do.
