With Shi Dong's guidance, Fangzheng clearly felt that he was much better off in that world.
The reason why Fangzheng died so miserably was not only because he did not know enough about that world itself, but also because he did not know how to deal with this kind of unexpected situation. Especially when he encountered giants that were four or five meters tall or some other strange-looking monsters. Fangzheng did not know how to deal with these kinds of things at all. Was he supposed to slash them with a sword?
No matter how strong he was, he would not be able to withstand it, let alone those damn treasure chests full of malice!
In this regard, Shi Dong was very experienced. A few words of advice could benefit Fangzheng immensely. In return, Fangzheng did not stop talking to Shi Dong about the things in that world. Shi Dong himself seemed to be quite interested in that world. He would often ask Fangzheng about the situation in that world. This gave Fangzheng the illusion that he had returned to his school days, where he would go to school every day to discuss game strategies with his classmates ….
But his hard work finally paid off. Fangzheng clearly felt that the number of sudden deaths he encountered in that world was getting fewer and fewer. After he successfully defeated the Watcher of the Abyss in the depths of Faran Fortress without any injuries, Fangzheng finally obtained his first reward in a free instance dungeon.
Skill ability [Weapon Specialization]!
[Weapon Specialization: You have comprehended the true meaning of combat in the endless cycle of death. You start with a sword, and your life and death are up to the heavens. You finally understand that in this world, only the weapon in your hand is your most trustworthy comrade. (Initial proficiency in all weapons is 100%)]
After obtaining this ability, Fangzheng also tried it out out of curiosity, and the result made him overjoyed. Because Fangzheng found that with the bonus of [Weapon Specialization], not only did he become more fluent when using the Royal Cross Sword, but when he picked up equipment such as greatswords and daggers, he also felt that the originally unfamiliar weapons in his hands had become an extension of his body. He could easily use them as if they were part of his body.
This was a pretty good ability reward.
Through this talent reward, Fangzheng finally realized that the rewards of this Instance Dungeon seemed to be based on whether he could defeat the Boss without any damage. Previously, when Fangzheng fought other Bosses, he died several times. Even if he won, he would be exhausted. This time, it was all thanks to Shi Dong's guidance, Fangzheng's ample preparation, and a little luck that he was able to defeat the enemy unscathed.
After mastering this specialty, Fangzheng once again rushed to the temple excitedly, wanting to practice with Shi Dong. But to Fangzheng's surprise, before he even stepped through the door of the Holy Temple, he saw the armored Shi Dong stride out. Then, he patted Fangzheng on the shoulder and dragged him into the Holy Temple.
"Let's go, kid. We have something to do!"
"A battle?"
Fangzheng was already used to Shi Dong's unconventional behavior. He was only stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. After all, the temple was not doing charity for him. As a trainee Guardian Knight, since Fangzheng had already enjoyed the benefits the temple gave him, he naturally had to contribute.
"That's right."
Shi Dong quickly explained to Fangzheng as he led Fangzheng along the corridor.
"Just now, we received a request for help from Shadow Ravine. A group of Paladins tracked the cultists and entered the depths of the ravine. But they accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and are now trapped in the Plain of Bones …. What a bunch of idiots. Who allowed them to go to Shadow Ravine? Don't they know that's the Twilight Border? Now they want me to clean up their mess …. "
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth twitched when he heard this. Why did he have a feeling that these Paladins were the unlucky ones who died because of his body ….
"Do I have to go too?"
"Of course. You're not weak, kid. It seems that you're not lacking in actual combat experience either. Star-Moon City is currently short on manpower, so the only ones who can fight are you and me. Besides, your power is holy, which happens to be able to restrain those undying bastards. Show me what you've got! "
As they spoke, the two of them reached the end of the corridor. When they saw Shi Dong and Fangzheng, the Paladin at the end of the corridor hurriedly bowed to them, then pushed open the heavy stone door behind them.
Behind the stone door was a huge circular teleportation formation. This was also the most powerful weapon of the temple. This teleportation formation could achieve unlimited long-distance teleportation. During times of war, this teleportation formation could even borrow the power of an Archbishop to directly teleport troops to the battlefield.
Of course, this teleportation formation might seem invincible, but in fact, it had its own restraints. As long as the enemy sealed off the entire space with a spatial anchor, the teleportation formation would be completely useless.
But even so, the teleportation formation was a pretty good choice for travelling.
"Hmm?"
But to Fangzheng's surprise, after he walked into the teleportation hall, he soon saw two figures next to the teleportation formation. One of them was the old Bishop Fangzheng was already very familiar with, while the other was a little out of Fangzheng's expectations. It was a cute girl in a black robe. After seeing Fangzheng, the girl blushed slightly. She lowered her head and looked at the ground without saying a word.
… … If I remember correctly, isn't this the girl who helped me verify the Astral Runes in the city hall?
What's she doing here?
"How's the situation?"
Shi Dong immediately looked at the old Bishop standing by the teleportation formation after entering the teleportation hall. The old Bishop shook his head helplessly when he heard Shi Dong's question.
"It's not looking good. I managed to get in touch with them just now, but it was quickly cut off …."
"Those idiots."
Shi Dong rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard the old Bishop's answer.
"Where's their teleportation crystal?"
"They've set up a spatial barrier, so the teleportation crystal can't be used …."
"In other words, there's at least a lich level opponent waiting for us there?"
The more information he received, the darker Shi Dong's expression became.
"What's wrong with these fools? Going to the Plains of Bones to fight a lich? If they're so powerful, why don't they just kill their way into the Twilight Border? Do they think they've become arrogant and can act recklessly now? I told you those Bishops are unreliable. They're all arrogant and self-righteous, but they're all trash …. They've crawled out of their mothers' arms and haven't even weaned yet, but they already think they can save the world! "
It had to be said that one was marked by the company one kept. After spending so much time with Fangzheng, Shi Dong had learned to use the words that sounded baffling but also very reasonable.
"So what do we do now?"
"I'll leave the rest to her."
The old Bishop looked at the girl next to him as he spoke. Sensing everyone's gaze, the girl's body trembled. She raised her head with trepidation and nodded at them.
"Miss M can provide you with a coordinate so you can teleport to the nearest place …."
M ….
Fangzheng could not help chuckling when he heard the name. But he was not surprised. During his time in the Holy Cathedral, Fangzheng had more or less gained a good understanding of this world. He knew that for Astrologers, names were a special secret because Astrologers believed that their names had some special connection with the stars. Therefore, Astrologers generally used their codenames instead of their real names. Only the Astrologer's mentor and his family were qualified to know the Astrologer's real name.
But ….
Fangzheng glanced at the girl, who was trembling like a little squirrel, and felt that the codename was really suitable for her …. Judging from her appearance, the girl was just a weakling.
"Her?"
Compared to Fangzheng, Shi Dong was concerned about another problem.
"Isn't there a spatial barrier there? How is she going to lead us in? "
Hearing this, the girl finally spoke in a low voice.
"Well … actually … I can point out a Star Path for you by observing the orbit of the constellations. It's not affected by the spatial barrier … but …."
"You can do that?"
Hearing this, Shi Dong was taken aback.
"Finding a Star Path is a task that even high-level Astrologers can't do!"
"Miss M is the proudest disciple of the Royal Astrologer, Sir Oscar."
The old bishop finally chimed in at this moment.
"So, you must ensure her safety. You can't let her come to any harm. Otherwise, if that old man comes looking for you, I won't be able to take it."
"Wait …. What do you mean?"
Shi Dong's expression changed again when he heard the old Bishop's answer. The old Bishop smiled.
"Just as you heard, this young lady will go to the Plains of Bones with you …."
