The Endless Abyss of Online Games

Shen Ce stood up straight, looked at the old priest with a serious expression, and said in a drawn-out and solemn tone, "Fortunately, I lived up to what I entrusted."

The old priest showed a relieved smile, and then he walked towards Selos who was standing next to Shen Ce, with a slightly puzzled look on his face: "Young man, I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

Selos raised his head slightly, his tone was calm without any waves: "I think you are also very kind."

The old priest rubbed his sunken cheeks wearily, and he sighed: "I am old, and my memory is not clear." Suddenly, the old priest's eyes flashed, and his eyes inspected Shen Ce and Cyrus. ,Finally, he said solemnly to Cyrus: "But young man, I don't think you seem like a believer in the God of Light. Since Zero has decided to go with you, can you promise me one thing?"

Shen Ce was shocked by the hale and hearty gaze of the old priest. The old priest looked decadent before, but just now, Shen Ce felt the aura of a strong man.

And Silos remained indifferent, neither acknowledging nor refuting the old priest's judgment, his voice was as low as spring rain in the dark night: "Please speak."

The old priest's expression became fierce: "I want you to swear that you will not harm Zero during the task, and you must not betray halfway."

Did the old priest mean that if Selos disagreed, he would not release the next link of the mission?

Hearing this, Shen Ce suddenly shifted his gaze to Sai Luos, only to see that Sai Luos pursed his lips tightly, showing no signs of happiness or anger.Shen Ce himself was baffled by the old priest's words. After all, it was said in the mission that once he took over the S-level branch, he could not give up halfway, otherwise he would lose level [-] experience, and his reputation and faith would drop sharply. Which player would be willing to suffer such a big loss?

However, the old priest's actions were not entirely unreasonable. Most of the old-fashioned NPC believers of the God of Light have some prejudice against foreign teachers. Professions like assassins, even if they are in the righteous camp, will inevitably be rejected by them.

After Silos was silent for a while, a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, he looked at Shen Ce, his eyes were as bright as stars: "I, Cyrus, swear in my own name that I will not harm Zero during this mission, I will not defect temporarily."

Shen Ce felt uncomfortable being looked at by Cyrus, and this kind of indescribable subtlety has appeared for the first time. Ever since Shen Ce discovered that his mood was easily affected by Cyrus, he tried not to interact with this mysterious assassin. Look directly at each other.

The old priest nodded in satisfaction, and his aura weakened instantly, no different from an ordinary weak old man: "Very well, I believe in Zero, and I also believe in Zero's companions, the next thing I want to say is the mission. The second link can also be called the most critical link."

The old priest paused, his eyes were filled with blazing light, and his voice was a little trembling: "That is - let you sneak into the palace of the Demon Realm, I have never been there, so the path leading to the Demon Realm Palace requires you to Find it yourself. The only thing I can offer you is a spell that allows you to temporarily disguise yourself as a demon."

Shen Ce was a little surprised when he heard this: "You mean, you want us to retrieve the holy relics as demons?" How long will it last.

As if seeing through Shen Ce's question, the old priest stroked his white hair and beard: "That's right, that's it, that spell can keep the demonic breath on your body for six hours at a time, before the spell is about to expire. , you must find a secluded place to recast the spell, this spell is extremely exhausting, once interrupted halfway, the magic elements in your whole body will be disordered, and the whole person will fall into a weak state."

Six hours, Shen Ce pondered, this time is long enough, as long as we act carefully, there should be no major problems: "High Priest, what should we do with the spells we learn after we pretend to be demons? Cyrus is an assassin. Use martial arts, but I am a priest, once I use light spells, won't my identity be revealed?"

The old priest smiled and stared at Shen Ce and Sailuosi for a while: "You don't need to worry about this, there is a profession in the dark camp called shadow priest, although this kind of person is despised by us priests of the light department, but you can just use it when you disguise yourself as a demon." Shadow Priest to hide your identity. While the spell is in effect, all your light spells will be converted to Shadow Priest."

Shen Ce was taken aback when he heard this. According to what the old priest said, wouldn't it be equivalent to having two professions at the same time?

As a hidden profession, dark priests are unanimously recognized that their attack power and agility are stronger than those of light priests.If the effect of the dark animal husbandry is as good as it is said in the legend, Shen Ce can't even guarantee that he will temporarily defect to the Demon Race. After all, his identity is a player, and he will not be as stubborn as an NPC in his belief.

Moreover, if a war breaks out between the light camp and the dark camp, and I use this spell to kill both sides at the same time, how will the merit points be calculated?This can almost be called a BUG.

Just when Shen Ce's daydreaming was at its peak, the old priest handed Shen Ce a parchment: "You two should keep this spell in your heart now, and return it to me after you finish reading it."

"Ding——Congratulations to player Zero for accepting the second ring of 'recapturing the sacred objects stolen by the demons': find a way to go to the palace of the demon realm. Task background hint: In order to suppress the yin energy of Lingshui City, the wounded old priest did not hesitate to You have worked hard to strengthen the seal, and in order to relieve the old priest’s worries, you and your companions went to the ancient battlefield to successfully inherit the inheritance of the Protoss. But a new problem has arisen, no one knows the way to the Demon Palace, where are you going to find it?”

Shen Ce's memory is excellent, he memorized the spell firmly after just a quick glance, and Selos only glanced at the parchment before handing it back to the old priest.

In order to demonstrate the effect, the old priest cast the spell on the spot. Just after the spell was finished, the old priest was not much different from before, nor was he full of the evil aura of the demon race as Shen Ce imagined. The only change was that The old priest's green eyes turned a pale purple.

The old priest said slowly: "The eyes of the demons will be a little purple no matter what, the deeper the purple the eyes, the stronger the power, so the level of the monster is very easy to judge, and the eyes of ordinary low-level monsters will be like mine. It is light purple, and high-level monsters will be dark purple as black."

Shen Ce knew that there was such a setting in "Across the Sky". After being reminded by the old priest, Shen Ce also wanted to try how purple his eyes would turn after chanting the mantra, but considering that he had to go to the city, In order not to be chased by the guard NPC, Shen Ce gave up.

After learning the incantation, Shen Ce and Cyrus left the sanctuary. The two stood in the hallway of the temple, only to see that the sky outside had darkened, and the sun was covered by dark clouds, which seemed to indicate that there would be a battle soon. The rainstorm is coming.

The warm wind was blowing, the air was dull and hot, and Cyrus's wide cloak was blowing in the wind. He looked at the gloomy sky that was about to rain, with a cold smile on his mouth: "It's about to rain."

The voice, which was almost talking to himself, made Shen Ce involuntarily glance at the sky covered with dark clouds. Everything in "Across the Sky" is very realistic. Although sunny days are the most common, wind, frost, rain, snow, thunder and lightning Weather such as hail will also appear from time to time, and there is nothing unusual.

Shen Ce was a little puzzled by Silos' weird tone, but he didn't have the intention of agreeing. Instead, he asked Silos: "Silos, where do you think you can go to find the way to the Demon Palace?"

It can only be blamed that "Across the Sky" has not yet opened the two-way teleportation between the light camp and the dark camp. According to the game official, the two-way teleportation will not be available until the two camps in "Across the Sky" reach level 30. There are hundreds of players Officially open.So if someone wants to reach the opposite boundary, he must first spend a lot of time and energy to find a way to smuggle.

Silos turned his head to respond to Shen Ce's gaze. Although his face was covered by a mask, judging from the almost perfect cheek contour, Silos' appearance should not be much worse. He said, "I think there is a place It must be found."

"Where?" Shen Ce showed a puzzled expression, he had been thinking about this question in the church, but unfortunately he got nothing.

As soon as Shen Ce's words fell, there was a sudden heavy rain outside the palace. The rain was so vast that it shrouded Lingshui City into a misty gray, and there were purple thunder flashes in the sky. After a while, thunder roared.

"Royal Family Library." Silos put down these words, and walked into the rain without looking back.

Seeing Siros's unrestrained style without holding an umbrella, Shen Ce was taken aback, but when he took a closer look, he was surprised to find that Siros's hairstyle and clothes were still ironed clean - those raindrops couldn't really get close to Siros The bodies, as if encountering some invisible obstacles, splashed to the side one after another.

What kind of weird move is this?However, Shen Ce could only think of using a magic barrier to resist the rain, Shen Ce could only say that Cyrus was too carefree.

Shen Ce stood under the eaves, thinking about the royal family library that Sailuosi said, this name is not unfamiliar to him, but it is definitely not familiar, it can only be regarded as having heard the name.

As the name suggests, only royal family NPCs are allowed to enter the library of the royal family. If a player wants to enter, the player must either hold an official position in the imperial capital or have a letter from the pass.

It is absolutely too late to go to the imperial capital, and it is not so easy to get the official seal, so how will he and Cyrus enter the royal family library?

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the bean-sized raindrops shook and flew down along with the strong wind, and soon accumulated on the ground into fine streams.

Shen Ce finally held up his umbrella silently, and walked into the boundless wind and rain.

The dense rain fell down on Shen Ce's black umbrella in an instant, drenching his boots half wet. At this moment, Shen Ce suddenly felt a little envious of Cyrus.
