quicksilver blood

Chapter 2 Roland
Roland was awakened by the pain.

There was a constant tearing pain in the left abdomen.His face turned pale from the uncomfortable feeling of his visceral churning.

... what happened?
He opened his eyes in a daze, and the smell of incense around him woke up his drowsy brain a bit.

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 territory of Dronsfer.This group of players belonged to the Peace Council. They had been fighting on the front line of the Twilight species and the demon invasion. Therefore, the chance of being infected after the death of the character was far greater than that of the players who rushed to the rescue.

Although Roland's profession is not something aboveboard, he also has to admit that those people are undoubtedly worthy of respect, and if their bodies infected by dusk are not incinerated, those player characters cannot live in the world. The Well of Order is revived.Even if it is from the overall situation, even if the entire guild dies three or four times, their bodies must be burned.

Facts have proved that they really underestimated the high-level players of the Peace Council.Even if the system AI imitates their fighting style, it's not something second-tier guilds like Crystal Fire can resist.There were a total of seven infected people, and he and the chief wizard of the guild held one each, and the remaining five directly pierced Crystal Fire's elite group of nearly a hundred people in just 30 seconds.Roland was also distracted by the shining hand on the opposite side who somehow got in front of him, and then directly knocked himself, a plate armor professional, to the ground with an imposing frontal kidney shot in front of his face.

The moment he was hit by the Kidney Shot consecrated by the Hand of Glory, and the screen became pitch black, Roland himself lost consciousness as if he had been knocked unconscious by a sap.

what happened?Has a burglar entered the house?
This was Roland's first reaction.

He barely opened his eyes, but he felt that he was lying somewhere that was dirty and hard.It feels a bit like a carriage carriage, very narrow.Looking out the window, it was pitch black outside.The reflective surface of the glass vaguely reflected his own face, pale and weak from unexplained blood loss and pain.

However, even if he was really knocked out by someone and brought here, why does his head not hurt at all, but his stomach keeps feeling the same sharp pain as if he was stabbed?

Just when Roland barely supported his body, a pleasant and clear cry came from the opposite side of 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 the earth, but he could understand it without hindrance, he was immediately taken aback.

That is the lingua franca of the surface races in [Land of the Gods].As a completely original language, players can only use the translated subtitles brought by the [Common Language] skill to understand the meaning of the aborigines at the beginning.But three years after the game was released, basically players can understand and speak fluent common language without subtitles. After the version reaches 3.3.0 and the game has been played for seven years, even most players can Write artistic word in lingua franca.

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 conversation in daily communication.

"May the Lord give me light."

A low prayer made Roland raise his eyebrows.

This is the astral language, or the language of God.Before 2.2.3, it existed as a language passed down among priests.

But the next scene made Roland's eyes widen in surprise.

The golden light converged and turned into an illusory rune like "Le", suspended on a pair of white and slender hands, continuously spinning and blooming a clear light.It reflected the white-robed girl with beautiful platinum-blonde long hair and lake-like blue and pure eyes opposite.

Luminescence?
I'm not dreaming, am 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, bent down and carefully examined the wound on his left abdomen.

Only then did Roland notice that he was still wearing the special peripheral pajamas sent by the government.

This pajamas is Roland as the first coffin-bearer player. Fortunately, he participated in the main task of Chapter 3 with some real high-level players—such as those players of the Peace Council, and got a high evaluation from the system. An official out-of-print souvenir.Among the more than 20 choices of souvenirs, as a pragmatist, Roland did not hesitate to choose this comfortable and breathable pajamas made of high-grade materials.

It's not just because he basically doesn't go out unless necessary, and stays in the office all the time to play games.And he paid more attention to the style of this pajamas.

This set of pajamas imitates the style of the druid suit of T1 in the land of the gods, the black vine's grievance, while ensuring lightness and close fit.The reason why Roland didn't play the druid's large account and switched to the trumpet account at the beginning, apart from business reasons, was because he couldn't get a T1 set even if he reached the full level, so he thought he was a druid. Rui Yi is quite unlucky.The grievance of the black vine can be said to be one of Roland's biggest grievances, so after seeing the introduction of this pajamas, he directly chose it, and he didn't even look at the souvenirs behind.

However, at the lower abdomen of his extremely beloved pajamas, there was a two-finger long knife cutting off one of the lines entirely.And it was different from usual, the whole set of pajamas exuded a quiet fragrance, and the uncut lines were still faintly emitting a dim light.

...wait a minute, belly?
Thinking of the battle before coma, Roland had an idea that surprised him.

But he couldn't be sure.So Roland just looked calmly at the priest who didn't know which god was lowering his head in front of him, and the right hand close to his abdomen was faintly glowing with golden light.

"May 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 around your wound, which hinders the healing." The blond girl tilted her head in distress. , "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such pure and violent positive energy...it's just..."

Having said that, she suddenly stopped talking.

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

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

It's taken for granted that I have never seen such pure positive energy.It's better to say that's 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 yet returned from the sea of ​​chaos, and the group of gods who hold the supreme authority do not have such pure power themselves, let alone bestow it to believers.

If nothing else happened, the wound on the abdomen was caused by the dagger from that shining hand.To compensate for the loss of stealth and sneak attack, every attack by the Radiant Hand is considered a weakness attack, even if their enemies have no weaknesses themselves.At the same time, the attack of the shining hand can ignore all defenses when facing enemies that do not have legendary armor, and each attack has a superimposed continuous flare damage.This kind of damage itself is a kind of dot, but it is not considered poison or curse, so it cannot be dispelled by conventional methods.

But then again.It should be his character who was hurt by that shining hand, not himself?He is playing the female number, even if it is time travel, either he will come by himself, or he will come here as a character.What does it count for him to travel over with the damage suffered by the character?
The pockets of his pajamas—or robes, one might say now—were not deep.Roland checked briefly, and the only things he carried with him now were a thin notebook and a ballpoint pen, which were for him to write down important new events on the forum and some information related to the triggering of special tasks at any time.After so many years of accumulation, this is already his No.14 notepad.

Without missing a trace, Roland pretended to straighten his collar, and carefully looked at the notepad in his inner pocket when he slowly sat up.As he expected, the first few pages of the book were blank, but Roland pinched it, and the thickness of the book was basically the same as the full pages, indicating that the part with content on it was not torn off by anyone.

Even some traces of Roland's use still remain. For example, Roland likes to slowly rub the corners of the notebook while writing. The content is blank.

What a pity.Roland sighed.

It would be great if the things recorded in it are still preserved, and it is not too much to say that the things recorded in it are priceless treasures.

That is 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. Just call me Claudia."

The blond girl exhaled, stood up and said to Roland with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Kluvern found you in the dark forest, and now we have probably reached the matte trail." She pointed out the window with the light of her fingertips.

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

Matte Trail...?
Roland frowned slightly.

He has an impression of this.

It was the old version of the Bansa Kingdom's level [-] map. It was once noticed by many smugglers and smugglers because it was located on the border between Bansa and Karal.But the reason why it is famous among players is because of the ancient monster Del Ramos who has been sleeping for thousands of years in the center of the map.

Del Ramos is an epic field boss with a challenge level of eighty.In other words, if you want to defeat Del Ramos, you need a team of at least 40 people, and it is basically possible for the average level of the team members to reach level [-] or above.

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 blamed them for not fighting the Twilight Seeds and going out with the demons, and some supported the Peace Council, saying that they should not leave all 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 lay dormant in a seal set by the ancient druid Master Oak Oak.That is to say, there are four maps including the Sunset Plain, Dark Forest, Matte Trail, and Dark Scar, and the challenge levels range from 25 to [-] in dangerous areas.

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

In addition, there are many strange-shaped ghost creatures like suture monsters or synthetic beasts.Lve Shadow is assembled from the appearance of animals, and it is not surprising that it is composed of anything.The only thing these Lve Shadows have in common is that all of them are pitch black in appearance, and have a pair of wolf-like dark green eyes.

Most of the Glimpse that appear in the Matte Trail are erect Glitters with ape bodies.The jumping ability is excellent, and it is easy to cause huge damage to cloth armor occupations.

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

Most importantly, if you have advanced to the Matte Trail, you will be haunted by the Elite Glimpse from the Aphotic Trail.

These glancing shadows have plundered enough shadows, the whole body has been completely shadowed, the usual detection methods are all ineffective, and most of the physical attacks are immune, and at this level, witchcraft and divine arts do not have enough damage.It can be said that once encountered is the crisis of destroying the regiment.

Roland sighed in his heart, and made up his mind to remind this team who didn't know whether it was a caravan or a mercenary group.

I really can't go any further.

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