"Does the Kingdom of Heaven really exist in this world?" Eleanor asked sadly.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Ask asked in surprise, "Also, didn't you climb the stairs with Hilda Lifa? Where is she?"

"Just asking," Eleanor replied.

She felt a strong sense of guilt for not being able to save the woman. If you tell Aske, he might explain it in a few words.

And she didn't want to be forgiven because it was her fault.

"If you are talking about heaven in the meaning of Solomonism, then there should be no such thing." Asik chatted with her while climbing the stairs, "Our Hearth Island is essentially the fragment of the former Paradise Mountain - that is It’s just a floating island.”

"But Medea has told you about what happens after a person dies, right?" Asker continued, "After a person dies, the id remains in the corpse, the superego sinks into the sea of ​​subconsciousness, and the true self remains. It will disappear completely.”

"So death is death, right?" Eleanor said in a heavy tone, thinking that whether the woman committed suicide or died because of her, she would never see her dead husband and children.

Reunion in heaven after death is just a beautiful phantom after all.

"Yes." Ask said, "So work hard and become stronger. Don't die."

"Yeah." Eleanor responded dully.

Climb to the top of the building, quickly run down, and then continue climbing from the first floor. After repeating this for dozens of times, the almost overflowing extraordinary power was finally digested a little, and the physical strength of everyone was greatly improved.

The most obvious changes are Medea and Nora. These two people originally had no foundation in martial arts and would collapse to the ground after running a thousand meters. Now they can climb up to the 20th floor in one breath before breathing slightly. .

Ask sighed. This setting of saturation with extraordinary power was indeed beyond his expectation.

In the game world of the previous life, players naturally did not support this statement. There was only a setting of "the experience value reaches the upper limit and new experience cannot be obtained." However, they did not expect that the NPC would be so troublesome.

This body of mine is still the body of an NPC after all.

With a level 2 body, it can absorb all the physical power of a level 4 transcendent. To say that it can be completely digested by running up the stairs a few times is a lie.

However, it is impossible to continue fighting without digesting the rest of the power.

Ask stood on the top of the building, looking into the distance, thinking that the original plan had to be adjusted significantly.

This residential building is located at the top of the Third Mountain, and the Third Mountain is the highest in the vicinity. Therefore, from the top of the building, you can easily overlook the Sixth and Tenth Districts below, the Golden Horn Bay in the distance, and even the Golden Horn. Across the bay is the Galatia Peninsula.

From a distance, you can see that the Frankish knights have blossomed more in the main city.

To the east toward the palace, the battle between them and the defenders was the most intense; to the south were the third and second mountains. Because they had to climb mountains, few knights chose this direction.

To the west is the tenth city district, where many houses are already on fire. In the lakeside park along the Golden Horn, large tracts of landscape trees were cut down by knights' attendants and made into crude battering rams or rams, intended to be used to break through the bunkers of the Constantinople defenders.

Ask sighed. Sure enough, this world is still a little different from the previous life. The difference is that there are no players above:

In the previous life, when the Frankish knights rushed across the Galata Bridge, the first thing they encountered was not the defenders of Constantinople, but the players.

When the Frank knights rushed into the sixth and tenth districts and began to loot and massacre, the players in the city were also shocked to find that every time they killed a Frank knight, the extraordinary power they absorbed almost doubled.

This is not an NPC enemy. This is an experience gift package sent by the game official to everyone!

As a result, the Frankish knights who rushed into the main city began to face crazy blockades from an army of players, especially targeted snipers from game guilds.

They didn't dare to move against the group of Frank knights, but they were not polite when they were alone. Dozens or hundreds of players rushed to surround and kill them.

Faced with the shameless tactic of players trading dozens or twenty for one, the number of Frank knights suddenly dropped sharply. Seeing this, Count Memphrat on the opposite side quickly adjusted his strategy and asked the Frank knights to operate in teams of three.

As a result, the players have used the extraordinary power they plundered in advance to cultivate a group of sharp knife teams. Together with a large number of low-level players who are not afraid of death and can be reborn after death, they killed all the Frank knights who came over alive, and then occupied the Ga. Lata Bridge, counterattack on the Galatia Peninsula, and reached the opposite side of the Golden Horn.

In the end, of course, Count Memphrat and Governor Enrique hurriedly left the Frankish knights who had not yet boarded the ship and set sail in a hurry to escape back to the west.

The Holy See was not polite to the two culprits and directly issued an order of breaking and excommunication.

The latter was okay, after all, he still had some money in Venice, but the former was deprived of all his titles and territories by the king, and was stoned to death by a group of bishop believers while passing by the countryside.

And in this world... without a large number of players, Asik is doubtful whether Constantinople can withstand this attack.

If the Frank knights could not be repelled, would Zoe still deliberately plot to take away Theodora's power and imprison her in a monastery as before?

A popular theory on the forum at the time was that the reason why the two sisters broke up was because Zoe wanted to abandon the imperial capital and escape to the province of Siris to survive until they could survive.

Theodora firmly opposed it and advocated holding on to Constantinople and waiting for Western rescue.

As a result, the rescue from the West did not wait. Instead, a wave of Frankish knights invaded. This caused Theodora's reputation in the Senate and the church to plummet. Zoe took the opportunity to launch a coup to overthrow her and recruit the people who were originally loyal to her. Her Imperial Guard Corps.

Well, Constantinople should be allowed to hold on longer, otherwise the two majesties would be really frightened and flee to the province of Cyris, and then his idea of ​​accepting Theodora into the regiment would be in vain.

Ask turned around and saw that Mi'er had already reached the roof of the building and was about to turn around and go downstairs to continue running again.

"Mi'er, come here." Ask called, "The special training designed for you is here."

Mier:? ? ?

She walked over obediently, with a puzzled look on her soft little face.

After getting acquainted with everyone, her originally indifferent and numb expression finally loosened up and became a little more humane - after all, she is still a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and she cannot always look miserable. Qiu Shen's face.

Ask asked her to lie down on the roof of the building, then asked her to take out the Killer III rifle, switch to sniper mode, and aim at the Galata Bridge on the opposite side.

"Measure the distance?" Ask asked.

"From here to the bridge, it's about 1,000 meters." Mi'er replied, "To be more precise, it's about 980 meters."

"This distance is considered a suitable combat distance for snipers." Asik raised his palms, put them to his ears, and gestured, "Did you hear something?"

When Mi'er heard the words, she held her breath and listened. Relying on the sensitive hearing of the half-elf, she found that among the dense gunfire around her from time to time, there was an occasional loud noise, as if it was coming from some kind of louder firearm.

"Sniper?"

"Yes." Asker said, "In a street fighting environment like Constantinople, this is where snipers can exert their combat advantages."

"The imperial military should have mobilized all snipers. Their shooting range is generally around 600-800 meters, and their position is easily exposed after firing. Therefore, they can only fire when there is intensive gunfire around them, and they have to shoot. Just change the gun to another place."

"But you don't have to do this. The Killer III, which has a self-aiming component, has a range far beyond that of a normal sniper rifle, so you can directly snipe the Galata Bridge, or even the Galatia Peninsula on the opposite side, and the people over there will be counted as hits. Even if we bomb, it’s impossible to find your location from two thousand meters away.”

Asker took the Killer III, set it up on the edge of the roof as a demonstration, and looked towards the opposite side of the Golden Horn.

Outside the factory across the Golden Horn, the blind Governor Enrique was sitting on a chair, quietly waiting for the Venetian sailors to move piles of production materials and documents out.

The assistant governor was directing by his side, reporting to him on the plundering situation from time to time.

Regardless of whether the attack on Constantinople is successful or not, as long as the industrial production materials of the Eastern Solomon Empire can be plundered, Venis will have achieved its ultimate strategic goal.

Of course, local skilled workers and production experts are also indispensable. Take away as much as you can, and those who cannot... kill them on the spot, so as not to stay and help your competitors.

As a commercial capital, the city-state of Venice originally made its fortune by helping the Holy See make its fortune through offshore finance and foreign trade transshipment. The reason why this war was launched was to plunder the means of production of the Eastern Solomon Empire, thereby skipping the basic accumulation stage in industry and manufacturing.

At present, the Holy See's low-end OEM production is mainly undertaken by factories in the noble and large noble territories of the Holy Solomon Empire. However, the hostility between Emperor Otto and Holy See Innocent was well known throughout the world. When Otto officially launches a war against Italy and Canada, the Holy See will inevitably stop supplying technology to the Shinra Empire and urgently need to find a new foundry.

Venis is well-positioned to undertake this wave of industrial transfer, transforming from a purely financial and trade city-state into a powerful country with both financial and industrial productivity.

A country without basic industrial production capacity is absolutely not enough to protect itself in this world.

While Governor Enrique was meditating silently, he suddenly heard the assistant next to him yelling and threw him to the ground:

"Sniper!"

A bullet passed through a distance of 1,800 meters and shot directly into Governor Enrique's head. The assistant quickly knocked him down and opened his own field.

shadow!

The distance of five or six meters around him was instantly plunged into completely invisible darkness.

The bullet flying at high speed shot into the shadow realm and suddenly disappeared strangely - the entire shadow realm was a black hole with infinite curvature, distorting the surrounding space and time, and directly dissociating the bullet.

This assistant to Governor Enrique is actually a demigod with the shadow realm!

The snipers on the opposite side were still firing continuously, forcing the shadow demigod to be unable to dissolve the realm. He had no choice but to quickly expand the black hole, withstand the bombardment of bullet after bullet, and wrap Governor Enrique into the shadow world.

Then his spirituality expanded and opened another white hole inside the nearby factory, spitting out Governor Enrique in the Shadow Realm.

After Governor Enrique was sent to a room where sniping was impossible, the demigod assistant looked viciously at the direction of the gunshot, trying to locate the hateful sniper from a distance through the shadow of the high-speed bullet.

However, the gunfire stopped suddenly, and no more bullets were fired.

The shadow demigod immediately turned pale - he realized that he had maintained the realm for too long, so much that his spiritual energy was consumed, causing irreparable damage to his spiritual body.

After quickly releasing the realm, he covered his head vigorously, trying to calm the violent fluctuations in his spirituality.

However, this spiritual fluctuation was so violent that he had to use extraordinary power to forcefully suppress the impulse that was about to get out of control.

Once the extraordinary power is activated, the consumption and fluctuation of spirituality will inevitably increase in the current low state of the demon tide.

So this is trapped in an endless loop with no solution.

On the roof of the third mountain residential building, Asik put away the rifle lightly, handed it to Mi'er next to him, and said: "Here, use it to snipe the enemies on the Galata Bridge. No need to save bullets - just treat it as a This is your actual combat training.”

"How many people did you shoot just now?" Mi'er asked curiously.

She watched Asike pull the trigger quickly, firing six or seven bullets in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but guess the result.

"I didn't shoot anyone directly," Ask said, "but I think I killed a demigod."

"Demigod?" Mi'er widened her eyes in confusion, thinking to herself, didn't you always say "under demigods, one has a mortal body"? Could it be that demigods can also be killed with a sniper rifle?

Then she saw endless shadows exploding on the Galatia Peninsula in the distance.

At that moment, it was as if the entire Galata Peninsula was plunged into darkness, with no light able to penetrate.

After a while, the vision disappeared without a trace, and the town below was once again bathed in sunlight, as if nothing had happened.

"That's it?" Mi'er asked in shock.

"The mutation caused by the fall of the demigod." Asik replied.
