This was an accident.
Even Søren didn't expect this accident, because according to his evaluation of the Battle Flag Trial, the professions above Intermediate and Advanced would not die in reality because of death in the trial.
But the accident eventually happened.
The dead elite pirate had stopped breathing and heartbeat, and Søren also took his soul in his hand.
There was a drawback to the Battle Flag Trial.
Because it was a real illusion, all those who died in the trial must go through a mandatory test of death when exiting. If their will was not enough, the trial taker may die in reality while dying in the illusion.
Obviously.
This elite pirate did not pass the test of death.
The accident had already happened.
Søren had no choice but to send these trial takers out first. As for the aftermath, he already had a plan because he had already thought about what to do if an accident happened.
Steel golems appeared one by one.
"Trial completed."
"Please leave here with me."
The leader of the steel golems spoke to these pirates with a cold mechanical voice. These pirates had just experienced a real death, and they were very tired. Although they found that there seemed to be one person missing, only one of them said, "Where is Swordfish? Why is he missing? "
The steel golem said, "He has completed the trial and was sent elsewhere."
"Now I will escort you out of here."
Hearing the words of the steel golem, the other pirates hesitated for a moment, and then left.
These pirates were randomly selected, and their relationship with each other was not very good. They didn't know what happened, and even if one person was missing, they didn't care too much.
Because the death they had just experienced made them realize a lot.
On the other side, the arrangement was much easier. All the officers of Mordor city returned to the barracks.
At this time, Søren also came to the body of the dead pirate. There were no wounds on the body, and the expression on the deceased's face was quite frightened.
In short.
In fact, he was scared to death!
With the ability of Advanced professions, they could completely bear the side effects of the trial failure, but if they believed that they were really dead at that moment, then the final result would be that their body died in reality.
"I need to think of a way to deal with this."
Søren thought for a moment. He waved his hand and carved a complicated rune on the device connected to the battle flag trial. He murmured, "An enchantment circle that strengthens the will? The instant the trial taker exits, it will strengthen their immunity! This should reduce the probability of accidents, right? "
The formation was quickly completed.
After completing the enchantment, he couldn't help but stare blankly because this enchantment looked a little familiar.
"Where have I seen it?"
Suddenly, Søren seemed to have thought of something. His whole body froze on the spot. After a long time, he let out a sigh and left.
…
News of the battle flag trial did not spread.
On the contrary, its benefits were spread among the higher-ups of Mordor City. Because one of the trial takers, Jack, had quickly broken through the original bottleneck after a battle of death, and became a professional very close to the legendary realm in Mordor City.
The Battle Flag Trial had a clear effect on the Professionals, especially the Warriors at the front lines.
Facing death was something that every Warrior had to experience.
In reality, such an experience may not be able to survive in the end. The desperate death provided by the Battle Flag Trial gave the Warriors a chance to accumulate anger. The breakthrough between life and death directly allowed Jack to master the ability close to the legendary level.
"The trial must continue."
"A little bit of casualties is still bearable, compared with the results brought by the Battle Flag Trial."
Søren sat in the study and thought about everything. All the people who had been through the Battle Flag Trial were under his observation. Almost every trial taker would have a period of weakness after completing it, but after the period of weakness, their strength had improved significantly.
Almost all the trial takers had a small improvement.
In this way, an accidental death of a trial taker was not so important.
Søren was not overly kind and compassionate.
The second wave of the Avatar Crisis could break out at any time, and no one knew how many people would die in the third and fourth waves. In the end, only a few people would survive. It was worth it to take a little risk now in exchange for future survival.
Mordor City. The port area.
Accompanied by a series of muffled rumbles, a giant airship slowly docked near the harbor's lighthouse.
Although the number of airships had reached double digits now, every return would still attract people's attention. This airship had just returned from Arendelle. Relying on advanced alchemy technology, it only took a day and a half for the airship to go back and forth between Arendelle and Mordor City.
It flew in a straight line in the sky.
Such high efficiency instantly made many people realize the business opportunities in it. Even other Chambers of Commerce were trying to imitate the structure of the airship.
Søren was not surprised by this.
As long as he controlled the core technology of the Floating Ring, he could firmly hold on to the interests in it.
The Great Temple.
A Rogue covered in a cloak hurriedly entered the back of the temple and knelt down on one knee in front of a man who was meditating, "Your Excellency High Priest!"
"We have found the traces of the Maiden of Pain."
"She and her believers appeared in Talon City. The nobles of this city have been infiltrated and corrupted by them. Many people in power have been secretly controlled by them."
The high priest raised his head and said slowly, "Have you finally found her?"
"I'm telling my Lord now."
"Send people to secretly monitor the movements of their church, but don't miss any important information."
The Rogue replied, "Yes!"
The next moment.
The high priest appeared in Søren's study. For the sudden arrival of the high priest, Søren raised his head in confusion and said, "Is there anything important?"
"My Lord." The high priest bowed and said, "We have found the traces of the Maiden of Pain, Laurita."
"She and her church are hidden in Talon City."
Finally found?!
Søren was delighted when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on them."
"I'm sending people to the continent now. It's time for a hunt!"
Søren had been looking for the Maiden of Pain for some time. This evil goddess was very cautious. Even though Søren controlled a large number of Rogues, he only found important clues now.
Søren thought for a moment and said, "Let's not alert the enemy first."
"I'll personally head to Talon City tomorrow and send someone to deliver the news to the Princess Royal of Arendelle."
"The Maiden of Pain and the Maiden of Winter are allies."
"I'm sure she'll be interested in eliminating the enemy's ally."
