The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 38: Stepping ceremony

　　Annan has always been very cruel to herself.

　　 Say you can fall asleep when you sleep, and never sleep in bed when you get up. I don’t smoke or drink, think I’m full and I’ll never take a bite more, and my nutrition is balanced every day; I think it’s not good to play with mobile phones before going to bed, and I will never turn on my mobile phone once after going to bed. I will stop eating when I am young, and I won’t open the game again.

　　 After all, he is not the product manager next door. No matter how serious he is, he will not die suddenly.

　　Because he never fishes during working hours, all tasks can be completed before get off work, and there is no need to stay up late to work overtime. This is a good habit he cultivated during his student days.

　　 And Annan never accepts any extra tasks beyond his own ability—all the workload he undertakes is just to the extent that he can complete it when he is working hard.

　　He is like a perfect rational machine. Accurate, elegant and perfect, his boss praised him as excellent, and doctors said he was healthy.

　　 This kind of perfect control over himself is precisely the reason why he can maintain his normality through common sense even after losing half of his feelings.

　　 After he notified Priest Louis and Salvatore of the important news, he was already at the limit of what he could do.

　　 The rest is not something he can do well or not. It was useless to think about it, so he left Luis and Salvatore to stay up late to work overtime, and soon fell asleep at ease.

　　 The atmosphere of a familiar colleague staying up late and working overtime to finish work and go to bed early makes Annan sleep particularly sweet and refreshed after getting up.

　　 When he woke up again, players had already logged in one after another.

　　 Obviously, there should be quite a number of players who did not sleep at all, but were stuck online for eight hours.

Because Annan didn’t seem to be awake, they didn’t bother Annan very rudely, nor did they rush to find people to talk, look for clues about the task, but went to find some breakfast, while drinking water forums, chatting, or It's a group to stroll around the city and admire the scenery of other worlds.

　　Annan is very pleased.

　　 This shows that these players are still very mature.

　　 can clearly realize the principle of sharpening a knife and not cutting wood by mistake, it means that at least it is not a hairy kid.

　　 So moved by Annan, he set up a new task for them:

　　 [The old Viscount from Roseburg really wanted Don Juan Gerant's life—similarly, he also wanted your life]

　　【Behind him, there are indeed forces from the royal capital. And he also has other forces secretly supporting him, but what about it? In any case, you are not willing to admit defeat here, your adventure has just begun]

　　 [For this, Don Juan Gerante is ready]

　　【As Don Juan said, ‘this is not revenge, but murder’. You have successfully defeated an evil murder conspiracy, and now, it’s time for your revenge]

　　【No need to worry, no pity, do your best, do whatever you can—】

　　【Because evil is present, everyone is righteous】

　　【Have won the main mission: The Calamity of Fort Rose/Defending the Frozen Water Harbor】

　　【Main Quest: The Disaster of Roseburg (0/20)】

[Task requirements: Use your own means to avoid checking the territory of Roseburg, and successfully lurking (0/1), creating chaos at the right time, and preparing for Don Juan Gerante’s plan (0/1) 】

　　 [Special needs (+10~100 evaluation): depending on the specific contribution]

　　 [Special requirements: Cannot be completed at the same time as "Defending the Frozen Water Port"]

　　【Main task: Defend the frozen water port (0/20)】

[Task requirements: Before the plan is successful, assist the militia to take security measures to ensure that the frozen water port is not attacked (0/1), and to ensure that the "Lewis Priest", "Salvatore Black Tower", and "Don Juan Gerant" survived (0/3)]

　　 [Special needs (+10~100 evaluation): depending on the specific contribution]

　　 [Special requirement: cannot be completed at the same time as "Rossberg Disaster"]

　　 After suddenly receiving the main task, the players immediately discussed it in the forum.

　　 They generally understood that this should be Don Juan Gerant waking up. After discussing with the other two important NPCs, they were determined to take revenge on Roseburg.

　　 This is a good thing.

　　 The players feel this from the bottom of their hearts.

　　 After all, the entire frozen water port belongs to a friendly unit.

　　 After the exciting, but not full-hearted war, the players fell into a dilemma where there were no blames to fight, no dungeons to brush, and only some simple tasks like everyday.

　　Although the world itself surprises them enough and satisfies them enough, there is always something missing.

　　 There is nothing missing now.

　　 The main quest has finally advanced to the point where it can fight monsters.

　　According to the players' thoughts, they must all want to visit Roseburg. Not only is it possible to "lawfully kill monsters" there, but you don't have to worry about reducing Don Juan's favor.

　　 is even more because there is a new map... Maybe there will be some good things that can't be bought in the frozen water port, and new tasks that can't be received.

　　 Annan also knows that this is indeed the case.

　　 After all, Roseburg is closer to the inland than the frozen water port. When Frozen Water Port belonged to the Principality of Winter, it used to be the border fortress of the Noah Kingdom, and the traffic with the inland was much closer than Frozen Water Port. The area is indeed not as large as the frozen water port, but the number of residents has more than doubled.

　　 Although in theory, Don Juan is the lord of the entire Northern Sea Territory, and Viscount Roseburg belongs to the vassal guarding him. But after all, he was only the third son of the Gerant family, not his father...not even his grandfather.

　　 Nowadays, Frozen Water Port is still the most important city in the North Sea Territory-after all, it is the only large port in the North Sea Territory. But after the ban on cross-border trade with the Duchy of Winter, the most prosperous one has become Roseburg.

　　 But Annan has already guessed what the players think.

　　 So he directly set the two missions to the upper limit of twenty people. In other words, only half of the players can go to Roseburg... so that they can prevent their homes from being stolen.

　　 A tactical master surnamed Sun once said that all tactics changers.

　　Annan was worried. After he threw in forty nails, the opposite thought was the same as his own...

　　 After setting up in this way, the players quickly found out the ten people with the strongest frontal combat ability in the last battle through discussions and elections...and the ten anchors who are the oldest, the most bad-water, and the best at doing things. Go and pick up this difficult lurking task and act as a purchasing agent by the way.

　　 The three people who completed the task perfectly before are all among them. On the contrary, Jiuer took the initiative to choose housekeeping defense.

　　 After waiting for the players to assign the task, Annan and Salvatore went to the Church of the Silver Lord.

　　 "Just in case."

　　 In this regard, Salvatore explained: “In the advanced ceremony, you cannot be interrupted. And no one dares to attack the church. After all, the power of the Silver Lord Church...In short, you will be safer to stay here.”

　　 "And you go and absorb the firepower for me?"

　　 Annan raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Salvatore looked serious: "Because there may be spies or assassins coming in, and they should be by my side. Otherwise, they can't be sure that I was in the basement at that time... After all, if I happened to have Sora, UUreading www.uukanshu.com, these black fires cannot be detonated at all. Before they detonate, they are just magic materials for me.

　　 "If you are worried about me, you should complete the advancement as soon as possible and come out. One more extraordinary person, the frozen water port will be much safer."

"I understand."

　　 Annan nodded seriously.

　　 Then, he stood on the ritual circle that had been drawn in advance.

　　The magic circle is transformed by red gems and has not yet been formed.

　　 Under the gaze of Priest Louis, Salvatore chanted the spell of conversion to the chemical faction in front of Annan for the first time:

　　"The partridge in the east, the crane in the west, the sparrowhawk in the south, and the owl in the north. Blackened with iron, albino with fire, yellowed with gems, and redd with blood—"

　　 I saw the gem fragments on the magic circle gradually melt and separate. The thin circle became three-dimensional, and the three-fold circle of black, yellow, and white began to rotate slowly and quietly around Annan.

　　 At this time, Salvatore breathed a sigh of relief.

　　 "Well, it can keep you safe, and we can wake you up at any time... Now, get ready to enter the nightmare."

　　 said, he handed a note to Annan: "Just read the name on it."

　　 Annan took the note and read softly:

　　 "Duke Skeleton..."

"I am listening."

　　 A deep voice suddenly echoed in Annan's heart.

　　 The next moment, a line of data stream suddenly appeared before his eyes:

　　 [Incompletely purified nightmare fragments detected]

　　 [Level requirement: below the gold level]

　　【Career requirement: None】

　　【Special requirements: none】
