quicksilver blood

Chapter 20 Hope
Roland watched as the Embers ran in the direction they were scrambling, and opened the system interface without saying a word.

[You personally killed three Ashes (Black Iron Steps) and extracted the original power... Because you killed your enemies at the next level, the experience you got was increased by 120%, and you finally got 73 point experience]

Killing earns experience so quickly.

Now Roland can only easily kill full-level monsters.

If Roland goes to kill Lve Ying to upgrade, even if Lve Ying has a slightly demonized creature template, the experience gained will be increased by [-]%. To get this much experience, at least twelve Black Iron Step Lve Ying must be killed—— It has to be the kind that is about to advance to the bronze level.

Whether in the game or in the real world, Lve Shadow Life is not that easy to kill.

If you want to upgrade safely through Killing Lve Ying, you can only have a relatively stable efficiency at the silver level.

Even though Roland has several years of combat experience in druid professions, it is not an easy task to kill a ghost.If he had a choice, he would rather choose to face two professionals of the Black Iron Rank than face a glimpse of the Black Iron Rank.

Leaving aside Lve Ying's fatal feature of being unable to move once he stepped on the shadow man, the shadow damage and poison attached to Lve Ying's sharp claws are also a big killer in the early stage without attribute defense.

Humans are different.

In Roland's eyes, human beings are full of weaknesses.

As long as the environment is right, Roland can even easily assassinate a silver-ranked professional with his own blood, scarlet fangs, a smiling face, and a few gentle words of flattery.

Just like the ashes who were assassinated by Roland with scarlet fangs before, she was stabbed into the vitals by Roland without even realizing it.During that day and night when he was changing numbers, leveling up and writing strategies, Roland had also played stealth-type professions, and the strategies he wrote had received a lot of praise.

Whether it was poisoning and poisoning techniques, or the movement of the card perspective or the subtle movements to reduce his sense of existence, Roland was proficient instinctively.

So, maybe Roland is not like the otherworldly players of the Peace Council in his own field, but he is definitely the most versatile player in the entire land of the gods.

If Roland completely abandons his integrity and lower limit, he can use various methods to kill multiple silver-ranked human professionals who are not vigilant against him in a very short period of time.

Humans—here generally refers to purebred humans and various human hybrids—this kind of fragile life, if there is no gold in a day, there are always ways to be killed by low-level professionals.

Compared with those less dangerous monsters, people are everywhere.Not only is it "a wide refresh area", but also the experience provided by poor strength.This is the obvious advantage of professionals who chose the evil side.

Some players who chose the kind side of the profession were very dissatisfied and jointly complained on the forum, but they were speechless by a certain evil side of the player's words full of emotions and tears:

"Do you have a life where the arrest warrants are all over the parish, and you don't even have a place to live? Have you ever been chased by the regular army into the mountains, and you haven't even had a full meal for seven or eight days? Have you formed a team? Worried about being stabbed in the back by your teammates, and there is no place to cry when you are really stabbed? No hot water, no food, no wine, no bed, no medical insurance, do you have the courage to play the land of the gods as a wilderness to survive? ? If you have, then please immediately kill all your teammates with a knife and then go to the slums of your city to find evil-side professionals to discuss job transfer matters; if you don’t have one, then please remember the famous three-character sutra—— I like to play, but I don’t like to play.”

The player's speech was so touching that the forum administrator was deeply moved and deleted his post to end the scolding war.But in Roland's opinion, his words are half reliable.

Indeed, most of the professionals on the evil side cannot enter the city because of the constant faction detection magic of the city gate. They want to enter through the sewers but cannot find the right way because of insufficient reputation. They walk through the wilderness and small villages every day. With a big cloak on, he looked hurried.

However, there are some players with evil-side occupations who can ignore the detection camp magic at the gate of the city and sneak in directly.

That is the characteristic [sublime hypocrisy] that was given to Roland after he got the profession of Ashes——

Noble Hypocrisy (class feature)
Effect: No matter how high your alignment is in the evil direction, when you are selected as the target by the magic spell of the detection alignment, a detection result of the good alignment will be randomly given to the caster; When the faction has an attack with extra damage determination, if the locking range is an area or multiple people, you will deflect this attack; but when you are locked by a targeted single-target ability, you will still receive full damage , as if this feature were disabled.

——You have to remember that our cause is just!
The scariest thing in the world is not that the wicked do bad things, but that the good people firmly do the heinous and bad things, but think that what he does is completely just.What's even more frightening is that, from a certain point of view, this is the case.

For this kind of people, the magic of alignment detection is powerless.

If the player obtains the exclusive occupation of an extremist organization such as Ashes who "struggle for the rise of mankind", then he will get this occupation feature.There are even some NPCs of the evil camp who get them in the name of their personal characteristics because their ideas are too weird.

For example, some professionals who are clearly on the neutral side or even the kind side—such as royal executioners, freedom guards, or combat priests—are doing a lot of dirty work due to “work needs”, so that the resistance mentality gradually disappears. Gradually begin to enjoy some sort of sinful process.

At this point, they have already turned into the evil camp.Even if they hold a kind-hearted career, this cannot be erased.But they themselves don't realize this, but continue to deceive themselves that "this is all" work needs.

At this point they are given a temporary feature of the same name.

And when their thinking continues to distort until they look directly at their sins and still think that this is the price of justice, this temporary characteristic will turn into a personal characteristic, otherwise it will disappear, and then they will either atone for their crimes or switch camps.

In other words, it is entirely possible for a good-side professional to be an evil-side professional, and vice versa.

After all, the so-called good-side and evil-side occupations are just artificial divisions of players. It means that after obtaining the first level of this occupation, the overall camp will shift towards the direction of goodness or towards evil.That was the system's prompt, the standard gameplay for this profession.

Just like assassins can also assassinate bandit leaders, and thieves can also rob the rich and give to the poor, there are no restrictions in the land of the gods in this regard.And in most cases, such maverick players still have the opportunity to change jobs to some special jobs.

Roland smiled slightly after seeing his feature bar.

The quality of sublime hypocrisy is regarded by ordinary people as a license to enter the city.But in Roland's hands, it can play a lot of tricks.

Let's not mention these for now.After confirming that the sublime hypocrisy and the functions in the game have not changed much, Roland is still relieved.Next, he wants to see if other features have changed because of the real world.

characteristic--

natural perception (class feature)
Effect: You can perceive the vitality within a certain range around you; you can turn it off at any time

- With this, I can check on my potted plants, old hounds, and girl next door anytime, anywhere - so don't pretend to be pregnant in front of me, I can see it.

Divine Sense (class feature)
Effect: You can perceive the traces of divine spells in a certain range around you; your gaze can penetrate the camouflage of divine spells; you can see through the level of the clergyman and the gods they belong to regardless of the level; you can turn it off at any time

——When you can easily reduce your enemy to ashes, your most important job is to find where your enemy is first.

After reading the introduction of the two perception features, Roland frowned slightly.

Expected.

Unlike the previous characteristics, the characteristics of the perception class have indeed undergone some changes.

In the game, this kind of perceptual feature is not a general statement that "you can perceive what is within a certain range around you", but gives a very precise range.Five feet plus the occupation level of the corresponding occupation, and then multiplied by the perception attribute, that is the most vague perception range.

And there is one more important difference, that is, the information perceived in the game does not appear directly in the mind, but is marked on the map.

But after Roland confirmed that the system traveled with him, he tried many times, and concluded that there was no such thing as a map.

At that time, Roland felt in his heart that there must be something different from the game.

In order to confirm that nothing has changed, Roland simply opened the entire system page this time:
Roland White Oak, half-elf (balanced blood), male

"call……"

Roland exhaled slowly.

At this moment, his heart was full of confidence.

Although the future of this world is full of various disasters, as long as he is still alive, with his understanding of the future and some secrets in his mind, as well as this system that allows him to grow rapidly, that hopeless future is not impossible to change .

...Maybe, I will be passed down as a hero by future generations.

The corner of Roland's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

Forget about being a hero, compared to that, being a king is pretty good.

If you can't be king, then be pope.After all, Druid is a profession that cannot be put on the stage. Apart from having some reputation in the northern countries, it is basically the same status as witch doctor in the southern countries.

Roland still wants to live a long time.

He will live until the world of Farnese becomes as civilized and prosperous as the earth, until children can go to school anywhere, until hunger and poverty are completely eradicated, We must live until the golden age when milk and honey flow back into rivers, poetry and music fly like doves to every household, and good people like my sister can live a long and safe life.

He wants to live to see that age, and he wants to die in that world.

On Earth, he had long since given up such naive extravagant hopes, but in the world of Farnes, Roland decided to regain his boyhood dream.Because here is just the beginning, anything is possible.

For the future sky in his eyes, Roland decided to do whatever it takes, whatever it takes.

Looking up at the sky, what Roland saw in his eyes was a sky deeper than an abyss that could not penetrate even a single ray of light.

After the White Tower falls, the profession of the Ashbringer will be useless.

At that time, when the saints return to the world of Farnese, Roland will embrace the lap of the sleeping teacher without hesitation.By the time of the Reformation, even if the pastors of the saints had come to an end, not to mention that the serfs turned themselves into landlords, at least they followed the trend of the times and boarded the high-speed train that went straight to a well-off society.

If he could go one step further and become the Pope of the Dormant Mentor and become his sole representative on earth, then Roland's status would even be higher than that of some kings.

The reason why he took up the position of the Ashes is not only because the Ashes level up quickly, but more importantly, the reason is that the Ashes are the most easy-to-get occupations for Roland, and the perception growth is above 0.3.

For a priest who wants to become a saint, the most important indicator is a resident perception of more than ten points, and the peak value must exceed eighteen points.Only in this way can the saints who are fighting against the twilight species in Outland be able to cross the barrier of Gaia.

The day of future change is not far away.

Roland's eyes were full of confidence.
