Sui Xiong had never expected that someone would turn the horror experience game that he had jokingly named "Infinite Horror" into an adventure game.
According to his design, this group of rookie adventurers would search the castle for a day without finding anything, and they would have to stay in the castle at night. When they were attacked by an evil spirit, their companions would be sacrificed, and the players themselves would be on the verge of death. The old loyal servant, who had transformed into an earthbound spirit, would come to help, and the two parties would join forces to kill the evil spirit. The old loyal servant would also exhaust his magic power to survive. He entrusted the players to help find the descendants of the castle owner, and then disappeared in the dawn.
Of course, this story was not fictional, but the personal experience of one of his believers in the Holy Kingdom. That believer was a person who kept his promise. He spent almost 20 years searching everywhere, and finally found the heir of the castle. He took the heir, who had become a small merchant, to visit the castle again.
Unfortunately, because of the long time interval, there was a new lord, and they couldn't take back the castle that should have belonged to the small merchant. They couldn't write a perfect end to this story.
It had been almost 50 years, but Sui Xiong felt that this story was very good, and it was worth letting others experience it.
But … looking at Yue Yi's behavior, he was afraid that in this adventure, she could really lead this adventure team of rookie trainees to kill the evil spirit without the help of the loyal servant.
Maybe she would even have to spare the loyal servant.
"What the hell is this! I didn't transform into a big light ball. Even if you win and pass the game, I don't have any reward points or branch rewards for you … "
Sui Xiong complained, but he was not bored enough to deliberately increase the difficulty.
He was even seriously considering whether he should give Yue Yi an extra reward if her performance was really outstanding.
Every player who experienced the Horror Adventure would receive a small amount of Divine Power during the game, allowing them to maintain their health and mood for a period of time in the future. This divine power came from the power of faith collected by the sacred tree, and it could be regarded as the legacy of Diarte, the God of Fear. That guy had done all kinds of bad things in his life, and after his death, Sui Xiong finally took his legacy to do a good deed.
According to the setting in the famous online novel before Sui Xiong's time travel, this was a normal reward for clearing the game. But if the players performed well, it seemed unreasonable not to give them some extra rewards.
Sui Xiong pondered what kind of reward he should give.
He thought for a while and suddenly burst out laughing. Yue Yi and her temporary companions had not even seen either of the two ghosts. There was no need to think about the reward so early!
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong stopped thinking about those boring questions and gave Yue Yi a thumbs-up.
"Do your best, little girl. I have faith in you!"
Sui Xiong's opinion did not help You Yi. Now she was having a headache.
His teammates really lived up to their reputation as rookies! To investigate a haunted place, this group of people didn't even prepare a few special weapons and tools to deal with ghosts!
Ghosts were spiritual bodies, and ordinary weapons were ineffective against them. Even low-level magic weapons had about a 50% chance of directly penetrating their translucent bodies without causing any damage. In order to effectively harm them, they needed to use weapons that had received Divine Blessing, or weapons that were specifically targeted at spiritual bodies. Of course, because they were undead creatures, weapons that had special effects on undead creatures could also be fully effective.
Among these kinds of weapons, the easiest to obtain were weapons that had received Divine Blessing. Generally, adventurers would prepare two or three bottles of Holy Water. When they encountered ghost-type enemies, as long as they smeared the Holy Water on their weapons, they could temporarily receive Divine Blessing and produce a more practical and reliable effect on them. If they could pour the Holy Water directly on the body of the ghost, they could cause serious damage to this kind of monster. If they used refined high-level Holy Water, they could even directly kill and destroy high-level undead creatures.
This group of adventurers naturally had Holy Water, but they only had one bottle.
At first, Yue Yi did not give up, but she repeatedly asked and searched several times. Finally, she had no choice but to face reality.
They only had one bottle of Holy Water and no other weapons or tools that were effective against ghosts.
This was not the worst part. After careful inspection, Yue Yi confirmed that the bottle of Holy Water was of inferior quality. If she drank the whole bottle of Holy Water on the haunting evil spirit, she might be able to severely injure it. Otherwise … Anyway, smearing a layer of this Holy Water on the weapon probably wouldn't be of much help.
"It's okay. Can't priests dispel the undead?" The apprentice warrior said carelessly.
Yue Yi covered her face with her hands and gave up on the idea of explaining to this bull.
What "magic power intensity", what "willpower confrontation", what "divine grace concentration" … Could this guy even understand?
Not to mention, the apprentice priest in their team actually specialized in the field of Luck and Travel!
Luck and Travel?!
Can you believe it? The four most important fields for a priest were: "War", which could strengthen the combat ability of comrades, "Life", which could strengthen the healing ability, "Elements and Planes", which could strengthen the ability to dispel, and "Creatures or Undead", which could strengthen the ability to summon or anti-summon. He actually didn't know any of them!
In the past, Yue Yi never believed that there could be a priest who didn't know any of the four major fields, but now she did.
The world was so big, and there were all kinds of people and all kinds of weirdos. What was worse was that she just had to meet one!
To be honest, the field of Luck and the field of Travel were not bad. The former could give a priest extra good luck, and there were many special spells in the direction of stealth and defense. Most importantly, after reaching a high level, it could greatly reduce the damage caused by God's Arrival. Therefore, almost all the priests of the Goddess of Luck were good at God's Arrival, and the Goddess of Luck was also one of the gods who most often incarnated into the Lower Realm. The latter could give a priest faster movement speed than ordinary people, as well as immunity to most movement restriction spells and traps. It could also provide very effective spells such as teleportation, dimensional door, search, positioning, and so on.
However … Who had ever seen a priest learn these two fields at the same time?
This was clearly a character in the direction of a lone ranger, but the position of a priest was to stand in the crowd, to lead and assist everyone!
Could it be that under this guy's simple and honest appearance, there was a hidden heart that said "the world is so big, I want to see it"?
Yue Yi tried very hard to resist the thought of lamenting, and carefully calculated the success rate of dispelling the undead.
Zero.
As an academic mage, she could accurately estimate the results of various kinds of spell confrontations. She dared not say that she was 100% accurate, but she could at least have an accuracy rate of 70% to 80%.
The greater the gap between the strength of the estimated target and her, the lower the accuracy rate of the estimation. The strength of that apprentice priest was quite inferior to her in reality, so the success rate of the estimation was at least more than 90%.
If that rookie apprentice priest used the ability of "dispelling", even if the target was the most ordinary ghost, the success rate would not be more than 30%.
Of course, ordinary ghosts could not scare the smugglers into fleeing in panic, and they would even rather hire adventurers than come back. Therefore, the thing that was causing trouble in this castle must be an evil spirit.
Dispelling an evil spirit was much more difficult than dispelling ordinary ghosts. Even if an official priest took action, if he did not master the field of "Sun" that could strengthen the effect of dispelling, or the field of "Death" that could strengthen the control of the undead, he would need at least the level of an intermediate priest to have about a 50% chance.
If it was this rookie … an ordinary priest should be able to use the ability of dispelling three to five times a day. Even according to the highest standard, five dispels would not be able to destroy the evil spirit.
Of course, there would probably still be some effect. For example, it might be able to slightly weaken the opponent, or it would definitely provoke the evil spirit to attack him crazily …
Thinking of this, Yue Yi could not help but sigh again.
In other adventurers' teams, knights or warriors were in the front, rangers and thieves were responsible for supporting, and priests and mages were in the back to support. Why was it that when it came to her, it was the priest who was in charge of the monsters? Warriors, knights and rangers could not be counted on, and the main damage output was actually her, the apprentice mage!
Oh my god! Can you believe it!
Low-level mages were the weakest in direct attack among all the professions. How big of a heart did it take to let an apprentice mage be the main damage output?
In any case, Yue Yi really could not stay calm.
She calculated for a while, and in the end, she could only put her hope on the role she was playing.
Alright, a little mage who was only at the apprentice level, but was determined to specialize in energy spells. Whether it was fire, lightning or ice, she was very good at it.
If it was in reality, she would have sneered at such a silly person — what was the use of apprentice level direct attack spells! Apprentice mages should try their best to master support spells! When it was really necessary to attack directly, even a random wooden stick would be more reliable than "Weak Spark", "Mild Electric Shock", "Cold Ray" and so on!
At least in the last magic school competition, she used a pair of short sticks to beat an official mage who was two years older than her to the ground. Facing her "Gale Dual Swords" pair of short sticks, that poor senior student couldn't even cast a single spell. He was beaten until he covered his head and fled like a rat. In the end, she still caught up to him and gave him a good beating …
But now, she could not help but thank this rookie for her choice of spells.
No matter what, at least the effect of these spells on the ghost was real, not the slightest bit discounted.
As long as she used these spells properly, every hit would definitely kill the ghost, even if it didn't die.
If he was lucky enough to hit a vital point, he might have been killed on the spot.
Although … this was very difficult.
(Sigh! Why don't you let me play the role of a ranger? Whether it's dual swords or a short bow, I'm actually quite good at both!)
Yue Yi complained, but in the end, there was nothing she could do.
