The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 275 Tower Defense Mode
Deep in the Blood Crow Cave.
A long knife flashing scarlet light was deeply inserted into the ground.
The handsome guy on the knife has long disappeared.
But within a radius of 500 meters.
Everyone could hear the slight noise made by the Red Moon Ghost King as he hunted the Blood Crow.
A corner of the cave about 30 meters away from the Red Moon.
There is a wooden high stool.
There was a man sitting on a high stool with his legs crossed.
There were three women with different figures and looks serving him.
"It's a bit too cold."
While commenting on the sour plum cold drink made by the priestess using the "water making" trick, Roger closed "Phil's Secret Diary".
on the data bar.
The kill contribution from the Red Moon Ghost King kept jumping.
Roger's flashing distance also continued to increase as a result.
He just took a quick glance and lost interest in being an overseer - there were really no powerful monsters in the newly-born Blood Crow Cave. The Blood Crows here were all of the lowest level and were no match for the Ghost King!
Roger simply treated this place as a placement game.
now.
In fact, his mind is still on "Eastern Devil Cecilia".
The feedback from the secret diary struck Roger as particularly unreliable.
"You're in love already?"
"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
"If that's the case, we need to build a large gathering place next to the public toilet..."
He thought secretly in his heart.
Ever since he got hold of this sinister diary, he has never had the opportunity to use it.
On the one hand, of course, his conscience would not allow it - the nature of this curse was extremely unscrupulous, and Roger was always very cautious when dealing with such extraordinary items.
On the other hand, he just hadn't met the right person.
Most of his enemies are no match for him.
People like Hongye and Weilan don't fit the definition of a woman...
So this diary has been lying quietly in the "dust-collecting column".
Who would have thought.
There are top-notch people like Cecilia in Purgatory!
This woman failed in her sneak attacks on Roger twice and actually fled far away. This was something Roger could not accept!
Then he had an idea.
Prepare to try out the quality of this diary.
He actually also wanted to know, what kind of crazy is this "madly in love"?
21 days later, will Cecilia die suddenly as expected?
What kind of existence is the final evil spirit in white?
And in this process.
Do I need to pay extra price?
What strange things will happen?
These are what need to be tested.
Cecilia is a good test subject.
After all, in this world.
There are people who have offended Roger and are still alive.
Currently there is and can only be one Vilan.
…
"We'll have to wait and see."
The thought that Cecilia might really fall in love with me.
Roger was a little excited.
"Mood swings are not a good thing."
To divert attention.
Roger pulled a handful of plump beads from the tinder bag.
These were revealed when High Priestess Rose died.
You can see it.
Rose is a very obsessive person.
Not only did he want to join Lachesiya in the water before he died, but his soul also had many outrageous obsessions during his lifetime.
But there was a "puff" sound.
One of the beads was crushed.
Rose's inner voice echoed in this warm and humid cave.
…
"Finally, this dreamlike day has come.
I was chosen by God.
Became the chief priest of this temple!
This is something I have been preparing for since I was 4 years old.
I will definitely do my best.
No one knows how much it cost me!
For this reason, I even rejected John's confession - the Goddess of Sika Deer is supreme and pure, and her officiant should be so too.
Sorry John.
You are a good person
…
“Today during church service.
I met John's wife.
She is very beautiful.
I guess I'm not jealous.
I just marveled at her beauty and figure——
Even though she was wearing the cheapest linen shirt, the woman named Yu Na attracted the attention of almost everyone during the service.
What an ugly moment!
Especially the men.
The word "lustful" is almost written on his face.
This is blasphemy against God!
I think they might need a little discipline.”
…
“The punishment process went smoothly, and many people were shocked by my methods. They became obedient out of fear.
Yu Na is the best target for punishment.
I scolded her for dressing inappropriately and looking like a coquettish sow.
She told me rather embarrassedly that the reason she wasn't wearing any underwear was because she didn't have the money to buy enough fabric.
John also came to her defense.
So the couple were whipped together.
And they have to serve the temple free of charge for one month.
Oh!
I'm beginning to look forward to the next story.
After all, life in the temple is so boring."
…
“John came to me to ask for mercy.
He told us many stories about our childhood sweethearts.
He thought those stories would make me forgive such a nasty thing.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
I drove him away.
Then Yu Na was left behind.
I swear.
I will definitely treat his wife well.
…
“Yuuna is such a bitch!
She is actually seducing me!
I can feel it.
Her existence itself is a sin!
Humans...
How can a human have a body like this?
She must be the devil!
In a rage, I threw her into a dungeon where no one cared."
…
"I secretly released Yuna and hid her in my room.
I told myself I was doing this out of compassion.
She was actually just an ignorant peasant woman.
Is it jealousy that makes me narrow-minded and overly critical?
I began to reflect on myself.
Looking at her trembling, I realized that I was really wrong.
perhaps.
I should give her some warmth.
…
“Yuna tastes really good.
She felt fragrant and soft all over.
I began to envy John.
perhaps.
To make up for what I did to her.
I should keep her by my side forever.
Only I can protect her.
I……
I might be in love with her.
…
“Why is this happening!!?
God called me into the wilderness dream today.
He told me that He was corrupted—
'I will die'
'I am no longer myself'
'The devil will rise from my corpse'
"Please kill me when I am born."
…
what do I do?
Kill the resurrected god?
No!
I can't do it!
ah!
ah!
ah!
perhaps……
I should ask Yuna.
These days.
I found that although she was a peasant woman, she was actually very smart and had her own opinions on many things.
She can definitely help me!
But when I returned to the room.
But he found that Yu Na had disappeared.
what do I do?
…
I heard footsteps.
It must be Yu Na who is back!
Someone pushed open the door.
ha!
It’s indeed her!
But she seemed a little different today.
She was wearing a pair of red and black high heels.
…
"Checia!"
…
…
The story broadcast will end here.
The last wail of "Checia" lasted for a full half minute!
On the one hand, Rose's obsession is very deep.
On the other hand, she called out Cecilia's real name.
Everyone knows.
The devil's real name is quite long.
"Is this the truth behind the fall of the Sika Deer God?"
"The high priest has become the breakthrough point!"
Roger sighed slightly.
Even without the Echo Beads, Roger could imagine what happened next.
Cecilia's character Yuna completely confuses Rose.
She did not kill the evil demon that was born from the corpse of the Deer God.
Instead, with the help of Cecilia, he obtained the "Heart of the Wilderness" and the "Spider Power".
This created the scene where the God of Sika Deer defected and New Yuntaishan was in chaos.
If Roger hadn't shown up.
The wilderness camp is probably in a mess now because of Cecilia!
"As expected of a cunning devil."
"In order to achieve his goal, he even used himself as bait..."
Roger's expression became more serious.
We must not be complacent with Cecilia just because we used the secret diary!
This woman's current rating in Roger's database is catching up with Hongye.
…
After listening to the story.
Roger formally examined the Heart of the Wilderness in his hand.
Perhaps it’s because he is not a practitioner of the Kingdom of God.
This thing can only be used as a decoration in his hands.
The best he could do was to sense the current situation of the Wilderness Temple through the Wilderness Heart.
…
"Extremely weak"
…
This was his first reaction.
But soon.
The sixth sense brings a different stream of information.
…
“But it also breeds new hope.”
…
“Interesting.”
Roger carefully studied the additional information attached to "Heart of the Wild".
Wait until he puts down this prop.
The Ghost King has already returned.
This means that all the blood crows on this level have been liberated.
So he carried the Red Moon to the next level.
In order to ensure the working efficiency of the Ghost King.
Roger deliberately inserted the Red Moon between the third and fourth floors.
In this way.
He can take care of both levels.
certainly.
The Ghost King works diligently.
Roger himself was not idle either.
He then left the Blood Crow Cave alone.
Head toward the northwest of the mountain path.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the 'Zen Gate Ruins'"
…
"Insight: You notice that this place is in ruins and dilapidated. It has lost its original appearance due to the erosion of time."
…
The setting sun shines obliquely between the broken walls.
Roger walked lightly.
Overgrown weeds cover most of the site.
If it weren't for those ancient-shaped stones.
I'm afraid no one realizes that this is also a historical site.
Roger walked around the ruins a dozen times.
Always get nothing.
But his sixth sense told him.
There must be something nearby!
"It should be underground."
There is the Qingquan Sect's Taoist temple and the Jade Phoenix Nest in front.
Roger also has some experience in searching for the remains of martial arts sects.
But now the question is.
Earth escape cannot be used due to the restrictions of the "Purgatory Room" law.
Digging with bare hands can be used.
But we can't just keep digging blindly, right?
The center of the ruins.
After thinking for a long time, Roger suddenly had an idea.
Next second.
He pressed his hands to the ground.
The power from the forging personality immediately emerged.
In Roger's field of vision.
A vague shadow appeared.
…
"Reminder: Your specialty 'Mineral Vein Sense' is in effect..."
…
"You discovered a water diamond mine"
…
"You discovered iron ore."
…
Time passes by every second.
Using his ability to sense mineral veins and explore beneath the earth, Roger took the opportunity to locate three abnormal locations!
These three locations were very similar to the situation where he first discovered the 010 starship.
It’s just due to the special nature of Purgatory.
He just couldn't get the exact information directly.
But there is a goal.
Everything will be easy now.
Roger rolled up his sleeves and started digging wildly!
The boss is gone.
The priestesses naturally could not stand idly by.
Roger gave each of them a set of "Gray Dwarf Premium Three-Piece Set".
So.
Under the priestess's low moans.
Roger dug the hole much faster!
After 2 hours.
After clearing out the Blood Crow Cave, the Red Moon Ghost King and the Dog-Headed Man Cindy also joined the excavation army.
Next to the ruins.
The red clay of Purgatory piled up into a small hill.
Some time passed.
Roger's perception finally started beating violently!
…
"Hint: You have discovered the 'Zen Gate Ruins: Ascension Cave'"
…
"You found the 'Monk's Golden Body'*36"
…
"You discovered the 'Lamplighter'"
…
"You found the 'Ascension Feather Robe'"
…
A large amount of data flooded into Roger's eyes.
Whoosh.
He held his breath and jumped into the cave below.
This was beyond Roger's expectation.
Although this place is deep underground, the air is still flowing.
He looked.
The cave is deep and has an open stone chamber inside.
There is a corridor emitting dim light on each side of the stone chamber.
There is a similar stone chamber at the end of the corridor.
Three stone chambers.
Three corridors.
Connected into a standard equilateral triangle.
"It seems that these stone chambers were built underground from the beginning. "
"Are these people monks from the Zen Sect?"
Roger looked around curiously.
His sixth sense told him that there was no danger here.
So he tried it more boldly.
first.
Roger went to check out those "golden statues of monks".
…
"Monk's Golden Body: Zen monks will receive special treatment after death, turning into an incorruptible golden body. This golden body cannot be transformed into a zombie or any undead creature. The specific effect is unknown."
…
"It's not the kind of relics..."
Roger was a little disappointed.
He did not touch these golden bodies that looked like living people.
Instead, he looked at other places in the stone chamber.
…
The second is the "lampstand".
Roger was pleasantly surprised.
There is actually a little bit of "magic oil" on it!
But after a closer look.
He felt a little lost again.
…
"Primary Divine Oil: Can be used to drive external incarnations at the upgraded level and below"
"Quantity: 30 drops"
…
"Okay..."
In the spirit of plucking feathers from passing geese.
Roger accepted the can of magic oil with reluctance.
Fortunately, the "Ascension Feather Robe" in the stone chamber gave him some comfort.
…
"Flying Feather Robe (Rare Item/Token of the Zen Sect's Master)"
"Description: Put on the feather robe and you will be immune to 'Demon Invasion' when you ascend (click to adjust translation mode)"
"Requirements: Martial artist's extraordinary advancement/Qi Ming synchronization/Tao Zong token"
…
"This Zen sect is quite interesting. Is there a difference between Taoism and Zen?"
If that's the case.
The Zen martial arts in Roger's hands——
Among them, Jinzhongluo is probably from Zen Buddhism.
And there is a 99% chance that the Huitian Palm belongs to Dao Zong!
besides.
This Ascension Feather Robe also reveals a very important piece of information!
When a person is being upgraded, he may be infected by "distorted matter"!
Perhaps it's to fight off the infection.
The talents of the Zen School invented this feather robe for ascension.
When Roger found the dress, it was draped over a clay figure.
He examined the clay figure carefully.
It is simply a clay statue, so there should be no extra mystery behind it.
So he happily put away the feather robe.
Then he moved towards other stone chambers.
…
There was a dim light burning in the corridor.
There was also some "primary magic oil" in it, but Roger didn't take it.
Although this place doesn't look like a tomb.
But at least there are some remains of the deceased here, so we have to leave some for others.
Roger is still very sensible.
When it came to looting the three stone chambers, he only skimmed the surface, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Fortunately, from beginning to end.
The atmosphere in this Ascension Cave is very peaceful.
There are no monsters or demons.
No spirits appeared.
Overall.
The layout of the three stone chambers in the Ascension Cave is almost the same.
In addition, there are 36 golden bodies of monks in each stone chamber.
There is nothing unusual otherwise.
The only channel for Roger to obtain information was the square stone tablets in the corners of these stone chambers.
The text on the stone tablet is written in the common language.
Although it was badly weathered, Roger could still vaguely recognize it.
What’s strange is that.
Although the stone chamber looks quite relevant.
But the contents of the three stone tablets are all over the place.
…
The first stone tablet states:
A certain day of a certain year.
The Zen Sect received an order from the gods to build a 'cage'.
And in the process of building the 'cage'.
The two major sects within the sect had a disagreement.
The two sides were in a fierce quarrel.
The final solution is -
They built two cages and handed them over to the gods for decision.
…
The second stone tablet reads:
A certain day of a certain year.
The Taoist leader of the Zen sect has returned from his journey through the universe.
Tell everyone that the universe is about to undergo a drastic change. The original words are:
…
"The air will cease to exist, and the ether will collapse"
…
So he ordered everyone to build the ascension cave according to his instructions.
It can be used in the subsequent construction process.
The leader of Dao Sect disappeared mysteriously.
Zen Buddhism had to take over this project.
Finally it was completed successfully.
What happened afterwards is unknown.
…
The third stone tablet has the least words on it, and it doesn’t seem to have been left by someone from the Chan Yi Sect—
…
"In the Dharma Ending Age, Taoist monk Huang Ran cultivated here;
When something is accomplished, the soul enters the realm of the gods;
Leaving behind a body of the old days as a token of gratitude;
Those who are destined to meet you can also use it.
…
Roger also found the body of the "Yellow Bearded Taoist" as recorded in the stone tablet.
But that look ...
A little special.
His body is no different from that of an ordinary person.
Only the head.
But it looks very much like a Shiba Inu!
…
"The Yellow-bearded Taoist's Remains (Incarnation/Upgraded Level)"
"Drive: 1 drop of primary magic oil/10,000 minutes"
…
"Is this Shiba Inu Taoist really bragging?"
"You have already entered the "God Realm", but the remains you left behind are not as good as the Jade Phoenix Monk?"
Roger was a little skeptical about the authenticity of the inscription.
However, he still accepted this upgraded relic with gratitude.
Although this incarnation is slightly weaker in strength.
But the advantage is low consumption and long-lasting durability.
In addition to the remains of the "Yellow Bearded Taoist".
The only things of note Roger found in the chamber were a key and a stick.
…
"Mysterious Key ( ???)"
"Cognitive requirements: 400+ knowledge of Zen"
…
"Timeless Oak Stick (Stick/Temporary Upgrade)"
"Special: Spiritual Infusion"
"Description: Swing this stick at the enemy in front of you, and with just a little force, you can deliver a 'superb stun blow';
Anyone hit by the club will 100% be knocked unconscious.
「Number of uses remaining: 2」
"Requirements: Extraordinary Martial Artist"
"Producer: Taoist Huang Ran"
…
The key can only be used as a decoration for now.
But the stick aroused Roger's curiosity.
"Face-to-face sap?"
"Isn't this Taoist with yellow beard too arrogant?"
Roger felt that Shiba Inu was becoming more and more unreliable.
This text description made him feel that there were loopholes everywhere.
Not to mention the enemy's status and level, even if there is a 100% chance of him fainting, what about the duration of the fainting?
Roger couldn't help but perform a few more Qi-gazing techniques.
It's a pity that the results were minimal.
After repeated identification by the Qi-Watching Technique.
He did get some additional information about "Spiritual Infusion":
This thing is similar to divine power infusion, except that the spiritual energy is a higher level of energy, maybe level three or level four energy...
In short, his realm is much higher than Roger's.
"It seems that Taoist Huang Ran is still quite capable."
Roger felt a little relieved.
After collecting the things in his hands, he walked around the Ascension Cave again, and only left after making sure that nothing was missed.
On the ground.
Roger sealed the cave again.
He had a strange premonition in his heart.
The "Ascension Cave" should still be useful.
It's just that he hasn't figured it out yet.
He then left the site.
He led the Ghost King on a rampage across Xinyuntai Mountain.
After a few days.
All the monsters nearby were killed by them!
This leisurely pace of killing monsters is what Roger likes most.
It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long.
Not long.
Two members of the Tongma Town expeditionary team came up the mountain.
They brought Dorothy's urgent letter -
…
Two days ago.
A place called "Prisoner Mountain Camp" in the north of Tongma Town was suddenly attacked by an army led by the northern devil Hades.
Prison Mountain Camp is the most critical line of defense for guarding the Wilderness Temple.
The northern devil suddenly led his army to attack, and the surrounding forces had to go to provide assistance.
Not only Tongma Town, but even Martin Camp, which is short of manpower, will send people there.
It is said that the deer god and the brown bear god also appeared in the northern devil army.
Dorothy was transferred there as a palace guard.
She clearly expressed her request for help in the letter.
Roger knew it.
Given Dorothy's personality, the fact that she asked for help so directly showed that the situation at the Prisoner Mountain Camp was not optimistic.
He was going to cause trouble for the four demons anyway, so naturally he had to wade into this muddy water.
So he went down the mountain from the north slope.
Rushed to the northern camp mentioned in the letter as quickly as possible.
…
…
Half a day later.
The North between purgatory.
Roger stood on the top of the mountains along the coastline and looked north.
What comes into view are icebergs.
And the army of demons on the iceberg!
This is the narrowest place between the north and south of Purgatory.
Therefore, this is also the easiest way for the Purgatory forces to raid the "Wilderness Temple".
The Wilderness Camp established the Prison Mountain Camp here as a response.
And 20 kilometers west of the camp.
It is the bridge leading to the "Cage Island".
As for the Cage Island itself, it was hidden on the ice sea, and even Roger could not find any trace of it.
"The situation is indeed not good."
Roger stroked his chin.
now.
Under his feet was the Prison Mountain Camp.
The total number of combatants in the camp was no more than 2,000.
The gap compared to the tens of thousands of devil armies led by Hades is too huge!
Even with "Wilderness Barrier" and "Wilderness Turret" providing defense and firepower.
But the opponent also has the bonus of Xuewuji.
No matter how you look at it, it's a war that can't be won!
…
"But the Prisoner Mountain Camp is said to have stood for hundreds of years. They must have their own methods."
"Forget it, let's make the best of it..."
"As usual, we need to go to the enemy camp first to check out the details."
Roger is preparing for action.
A new prompt suddenly appeared on the data column.
…
"Asymmetric invasion war detected, do you want to activate 'Tower Defense Mode'?"
…
[Note 1: In tower defense mode, players cannot leave the camp on their own initiative and can only kill enemies when they enter the attack range]
…
「Note 2: In tower defense mode, killing all invading units will reward you with attribute fragments. Different units will provide different attribute fragments, and the attribute fragment effect will cover the sin mark effect」
…
「Note 3: After the tower defense mode is turned on, you will temporarily unlock the 'primary tower defense store'. You can get tower defense points by killing enemy units. You can use tower defense points to purchase items in the store.」
…
"Note 4: After winning the tower defense mode, you will receive additional clearance rewards depending on the enemy's attack waves."
…
“Ah, this…”
"You want to turn me into a defense tower?"
Roger looked at the details of the "Tower Defense Mode" with great interest.
Because this option is time-limited.
Roger didn't think too long and just chose OK!
Next second.
He leaped forward.
Fly directly from the top of the snow-capped mountain to the "Prisoner Mountain Camp" in the valley!
In the process of riding the wind.
He casually summoned the "Magnetic Spectral Sword", slapped the tearing rune on it, and then the sword of life aggressively attacked the circle of demons scattered outside the camp!
On the data column shortly afterwards.
…
"Defense Kill: You killed 1 big devil, you got 2 tower defense points"
…
"You obtained a soul fragment*1"
…
"Note: Every 2,000 soul fragments can be exchanged for 1 soul point."
…
"Not bad, soul quality can increase the force, so any attribute can be accepted!"
"Anyway, I'm going to be a man who fights in the octagon!"
Roger thought so.
He then swung the sword of life to the other side.
…
"You killed 1 Chain Demon, and you gained 1 Tower Defense Point."
…
"You obtained a power fragment*1"
…
“Fuck!”
"What do I need power for?"
Roger curled his lips.
He looked at the iceberg and saw about six kinds of demons.
I will never be that unlucky.
Still can't figure out the physical fragments?
So the next second.
He increased the efficiency of the lottery.
Under Roger's expectant gaze.
The magnetic splitting sword roamed secretly and wantonly among the group of demons outside the camp.
…
at the same time.
Blood Crow Castle.
In an elegant and solemn room.
A strong smell of blood filled the air.
In front of the dressing mirror at the head of the bed.
Cecilia pulled out a silver dagger from her heart with a grim expression.
Swish!
A large amount of blood gushed out.
But in front of the powerful self-healing physique of high-level devils.
The puncture wound in the heart healed quickly.
She didn't feel that much heartache.
I just feel more and more sad and eager!
"The pain can no longer be suppressed..."
There was a hint of panic in her eyes.
She knew exactly what was happening to her.
That is a vicious curse called "love"!
She knew that this curse could not be resisted, it could only be dispelled.
But these days.
She still tried many ways to solve that damn "heart-pounding feeling"——
…
Seal of Purgatory.
…
Pain paralysis.
…
Curse coverage.
…
To the end.
She simply replaced her heart with a human woman's!
But the curse still lingers.
Close your eyes.
All she could see before her eyes was that extremely handsome face!
When I think of that man's name.
Cecilia would become completely limp.
If I recall his face.
She may even have some adverse reactions that are embarrassing to talk about but can also make people addicted!
She knew she was powerless to resist!
But she didn't dare to ask the Blood Crow Lord for help.
Cecilia knew the temper of the Blood Crow Lord very well. Once he knew that she was in this abnormal state, he would kill her without hesitation!
"No."
"I can't die."
"I'm not pregnant with his child yet, I'm not walking with him on the beaches of Purgatory..."
Cecilia tried hard to put those messy fantasies behind her.
Ever since I was cursed.
She realized that her IQ had dropped significantly!
This is another bad sign.
"What on earth am I..."
"what to do?"
Cecilia was in a state of panic.
Suddenly, someone knocked respectfully on the door in the corridor:
"Lady Cecilia."
"Lord Xuewu orders you to report this operation to him."
"Um."
"It's a separate report."
Cecilia gritted her teeth and snorted to show that she understood.
Next second.
She just felt nauseous!
As one of the most proud subordinates of Lord Blood Crow.
Of course she understood what it meant to report alone——
All four demons, both male and female, had been "individually reported" to the Blood Crow Lord.
Change to the past.
She would certainly be happy to go.
Maybe you can get what you want.
But now.
She really wanted to muster up the courage to refuse.
"or……"
"Run away?"
"Will he accept me?"
Innocent thoughts like a young girl popped up in Cecilia's mind.
But soon.
She rejected these thoughts again.
Cecilia walked to the window sill.
Take a deep breath.
Looking at the depressing dark woods outside the window.
That moment.
She made an important decision.
Rustle!
There was a sound of a mirror breaking in the room.
After a while.
Cecilia, dressed in her best clothes, appeared in the corridor.
She was wearing red and black high heels.
Walked towards the office of the Blood Crow Lord step by step.
His eyes were full of determination.
…
