Chapter 162: Where Exactly to Put It
Clearly, the Wisdom Church knew something, but for some purpose at the time, they did not tell the people of the Wealth Church.
Therefore, the content the players learned at the time was also much less.
However, everyone knew that the witch came for one thing, and this thing had already reached the hands of the Lord of Calamity.
As for other things, the players were not clear, but what was certain was that the Barbarian might have a way to locate this thing; as long as this thing did not leave Tana City, it would keep attacking Tana City.
Unless there was some reason for them to think this thing was not in Tana City.
Soon, Shurima Great Deer sent this speculation to the forum.
You'eryuan: There was indeed something that dropped at the time, but it disappeared quickly; according to Great Deer's statement, this possibility indeed exists.
Feng Buxi: I remember that the Item also disappeared in the end; I don't know if it is in the hands of Calamity. I remember seeing that Item on Calamity's arm after I died, but I thought it was just a duplicate texture, though thinking about it, this game shouldn't have such a thing as duplicate textures.
Pokong: wow, it's really most interesting to watch the big shots analyze the plot, so what should we do?
It was not just the players; Chen Zhi was also thinking about what he should do.
Originally, the Item had long since been absorbed, and now only a skeleton remained.
As for the initial Gallows, it was now just a piece of wood.
Does one have to hand these two things over for it to work?
Chen Zhi's two hands rummaged inside his body, and finally, he found two things.
It looked like the thing the other party was looking for was the Gallows; this Gallows was no different from the beginning, still pitch black all over, carrying a feeling of evil.
It was just that the energy inside had already been absorbed by Chen Zhi, allowing his field of vision to increase by a circle.
As for that Item, it should just be an accessory; perhaps he could test it. Chen Zhi knocked on the ground and then used his consciousness to summon a nearby player.
This player, who was different from other players and liked to stroll around Tana City at night, was suddenly overjoyed, put down his patrol task, and ran straight into the Sewers.
He didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to do a special plot task; sure enough, only in such tense days would there be special tasks to do.
Seeing this little player, Chen Zhi threw the thing in his hand directly and said to him: "Ahem, this kind of evil skeleton should not appear in a place like Tana City. I believe you should be able to find a suitable way to let it go to the place it should go."
To put it plainly, Chen Zhi also didn't know how this thing should be handled.
However, as long as he said it, there would naturally be players to solve this problem.
Chen Zhi was right; within five minutes of receiving the task, Xin Jian found a place with no one in the Sewers to log off and began to discuss it with other players.
Xin Jian: I received a Hidden Task, the problem is I don't know what the NPC meant.
The Lord of Calamity asked me to put this Item skeleton in the place it should go; what should I do?
【Image】
Chen Zhi was almost the first to review this image, and he even specially adjusted the brightness and clarity.
You'eryuan: No way, shouldn't this kind of task be for me?
Luolita to You'eryuan: Have some shame, you can't have every such task, right?
You'eryuan to Luolita: Those who have already received a Hidden Task have no right to speak here, go to your death!
Feng Buxi: It looks like it's asking you to resolve this dispute, but the Lord of Calamity should have already studied this thing. If there really were anything useful, it should also be in the hands of the Lord of Calamity; if he hands it to you, you wouldn't know what to do either.
Yunxiao: I think maybe you can hand this task over to me.
Zhuguli to Yunxiao: That would be better handed to me; the War Church is definitely better at dealing with this kind of thing than the Wealth Church.
Yezi: How about I hand it to the Wisdom Church? After all, this thing could also appear in the Theater. As long as I say I'm not feeling well and hope they go to the Theater to take a look, I can guide them to discover this.
Huihuade Ai Ai to Yezi: No, no, the people of the Wisdom Church are so smart, they will definitely think that you are the one who is suspicious. It's better to hand it to the Sun Church; the people here have wooden brains and only know what the Bishop says, they are very easy to fool.
Xin Jian: No, why do you all insist on handing it to the church?
You'eryuan: How about we put this thing in a farther place?
Huihuade Ai Ai to You'eryuan: I think if it is handed to the Wealth Church, they will also choose to put it in a farther place; the problem is how we can do it without being so obvious.
To do this kind of thing under the nose of the church, the players were still a bit guilty.
But if it is handed to the church, there is also the possibility of exposure; it would be better to throw this kind of thing to a place where no one can see.
Hide it, or put it in other regions.
In short, the players were discussing it, and there were even suggestions to sell this thing; anyway, the Royal Capital definitely has a market.
With many different opinions, even Chen Zhi was a bit unsure.
In the Barbarian camp, under a spacious tent, the Channeling master Pavel Peters said excitedly: "It has moved. Two holy artifacts; one is still staying in place, the other has already started to move to another place. It looks like it is going to the camp of the War Church."
"This thing was indeed hidden by other churches; no wonder we couldn't find it at the Wealth Church," Laina said with a dark face. "I didn't expect that we would be played by War. Do they think this thing can resist us?"
Abelik on the side said coldly: "It is us, not you. Remember, this is the last time we will help you."
"Hmph, of course I know, besides, I won't forget to give you benefits," Laina said with some guilt. "And Gannaer was something I fought to get for you; don't forget, if it weren't for me, your Barbarian King would never be able to..."
"Enough." Abelik rolled his eyes at the other party. "If we didn't have the strength, would Gannaer send people to help us? Why don't you just beg them to help you? Anyway, it's just a matter of locating it."
A Channeling master can observe where Necromancy appears; the witches' Ritual always likes to sacrifice many people, and it is very normal for such a situation to have a very strong smell of Necromancy.
However, that Channeling master Pavel raised his head and said: "It's not necessarily the War Church that is controlling that thing; don't forget, these two things were originally in the Municipal Building."
As for the Municipal Building, it is now impregnable; even a master like Laina cannot just break in and look through documents.
"Those nobles don't have the ability to control this kind of thing; don't forget the risks of these things. If there is no witch to perform the seal..." Laina said viciously, "It can't be that there is a witch assisting them! The Red Moon Goddess will bring them punishment!"
The people around looked at Laina as if she were a fool; for them, the Red Moon Goddess wanting to descend is no different from a pipe dream.
It would be better to wait for a powerful orc to appear among the Barbarian.
This orc will definitely be able to lead the Barbarian to return to glory.
At least he can first break through this damn Tana City.
"Hmph, you just wait and see." Laina pursed her lips. "I am going to Tana City now, but I need your help."
"Fine, but I won't go; I have already told you where that thing is." Pavel looked at Laina nonchalantly. "I am just an ordinary Channeling master; if I get caught, it won't do you any good."
The people who came from Gannaer were not people Laina could afford to provoke.
Although the whole Gannaer is extremely chaotic, it is after all under the rule of the Queen.
The heretics inside have also been cleared out for the most part; those remaining are all a bunch of terrifying fellows.
Laina, who lacks a baby girl, is merely an ordinary witch; she is not even as good as the deceased Agnes.
In terms of talent, Agnes was born as a Container for the goddess's descent, while Laina can only create a baby girl to serve as a Container for the goddess's descent.
The difference between these is naturally significant.
The sky had just brightened, and the morning in Tana City carried the scent of heavy dew; as the moon and sun intertwined, the Barbarians began a new round of attacks.
Camp Commander Jili Kainsi stood on the city wall, watching those blindly attacking Barbarians, and let out an angry shout.
The surrounding Warriors were all startled awake; Zhuguli, who had just logged in, was taken aback, but he quickly realized that the reason he felt so energetic right now must be due to the effect of Exhilaration.
A Warrior's skill, after a roar, can boost morale; this shout added at least twenty points of strength to himself, Zhuguli thought to himself.
He had originally wanted to have a discussion with the other players for a while; after all, everyone had discussed it until nightfall and still hadn't decided who this thing should be handed over to.
Even if they hid it, the players didn't know where exactly they should hide it.
Some even started a poll on the forum, and as a result, 34% of people believed in returning the bones to the Lord of Calamity.
It is hard to say what exactly they were thinking.
There were not many Barbarians coming to attack; they were almost all concentrated in the direction of the northeast corner, and their siege equipment was quite complete, but their numbers were very small.
According to experience, even if all these people were buried here, it would be impossible to break through the first line of defense.
Yet they still charged forward continuously, just like mechanical puppets.
One wave passed, two waves passed, as if they were endless.
Zhuguli couldn't even get a few kills; these war animals were truly too hardworking, each of them charging first for the sake of the Barbarians' war merit.
This resulted in Zhuguli, who was still somewhat unaccustomed to the scenes of War, being quite out of place.
"What are you thinking about? Are you afraid of these Barbarians?" A Warrior following behind was clearly somewhat displeased, "If you don't want to fight, please make a path for me."
"No, I'm thinking, why do they keep doing useless work?" Zhuguli shook his head, "Don't you think they are being too deliberate?"
"Deliberate? The Barbarians' fighting has always been like this; where would they have any brains? I'm afraid they are already like orcs, as stupid as dogs." Several Warriors burst into laughter, "Although their physical fitness is good, their fighting techniques and brains are no different from having none."
"That's right, I say Little Pig, although you aren't a Barbarian, there's no need for you to think about such profound matters."
"If there is a problem, the Camp Commander standing on high will point out the correct direction for us."
Seeming to have seen the problem here, Jili walked to the front of the crowd in a few steps.
"Do not let your guard down; these Barbarians' behavior today is a bit too deliberate," Jili said, "I think you few can block this gap; the rest of you go to the west balcony and see if those people are up to any tricks."
It was not that there was no one on the west balcony; on the contrary, 5 Warriors were stationed there, each one a top-notch expert.
Seeing their partners perform meritorious deeds while they stood guard here, they were somewhat dissatisfied themselves.
They even secretly cursed these Barbarians for being so stubborn, attacking the same route over and over again.
Their gazes were all eagerly fixed on those Barbarians, so they only stared at the Warriors who had fights to engage in.
"There are footprints here," Zhuguli said to Jili, "Look, there are still wet footprints left by the dew here; this thing definitely wasn't left by us, it's completely different from our boots."
"Even the size is different." Jili angrily knocked on the heads of the two Warriors beside him, "What exactly are you looking at? Did you not notice someone slipping past under your feet!"
"How is that possible? We have been staring at it, and there is also the Formation..." A Warrior turned his head back, then said with a dark face, "Oh no, the crystal fragments of the Formation..."
"Damn it." Jili sliced his hand open, letting blood drip onto the spot where the crystal should have been.
The Formation slowly repaired itself, but the gap here had indeed been left behind.
As if sensing something, those Barbarians instantly abandoned the battlefield in the northeast direction and turned to attack the west instead.
And this time, the offensive was much more intense.
Since they had already been discovered, they naturally could not let them catch Laina; although the Barbarians were stupid, they were not without any brains at all.
To them, those humans were all prey; the instinct to track prey told Abelik that if the witch could return within the exact time, he could even break through the first line of defense of Tana City.
A deafening sound rang out, and the Barbarians also began to stimulate the blood power within their bodies; everyone's height increased by two meters, growing continuously.
Zhuguli shouted "Holy crap" and stood there like a wooden chicken.
During the last battle, there clearly weren't this many Mutated Barbarians.
"No wonder, Little Pig, you go find the person who went in; we will deal with this here. You must find that guy; it might be one of the witch's people." After Jili finished speaking, he let out another angry roar; this time Zhuguli didn't feel much, but the few Barbarians in the front row suddenly began to become manic.
It turns out the effect of Exhilaration is not only effective on oneself, but it might even cause the enemy to become exhilarated as well...
