Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 147: Joining forces (1)
Although the scattered "blood evil" did not stop the Paladin of Light for long, his body paused for a few seconds, and the "body protection holy light" reappeared, quickly dispelling the "blood evil" that was entangled around him. However, as a part-time thief who is good at agility, I tried my best to just delay the opponent for a moment. And the final result did not disappoint me. Regardless of whether Suttri was killed by me or Bai Yunjian, or the protection time limit was eliminated after the real owner "changed hands", in short, before he died, I had already put the "Eye of Glory" into the "Storage Belt" to prevent it from falling out again.
In the battle of Howling Plains in the Eastern Continent, the "treasure delivery" team of the Church of Light was almost wiped out. Not only were the two "holy objects" destroyed, but even a ninth-level cardinal died. They also lost an artifact of light, the "Eye of Light". The battle lasted for more than a month, and both sides had their gains and losses. The losses they suffered were not much less than our "Resistance Alliance".
The biggest beneficiary of this victory is naturally Long Xing Tian Xia, who regained his prestige and consolidated his position as Speaker, which was originally in a precarious situation. The plans of ambitious people such as Da Mo Fei Ying and Qiu Shui Chang Tian to take advantage of the opportunity to "force the palace and usurp the throne" were aborted. Although the "Resistance Alliance" sacrificed an extra ninth-level magic knight, it managed to defend the city of Beijing. Currently, it is moving around to win over and persuade various forces to promote a "peaceful seizure of power" and have the "Resistance Alliance" take over the actual control of Beijing from the system, establish the first fixed base, and openly "challenge" the Church of Light.
Although I got the artifact of light, the "Eye of Glory", which seemed to be a big gain, my situation was actually quite embarrassing. The reason why the "Death Control" was still missing was because there were no witnesses to provide clues. Even if it was obtained by a professional player of light, as long as he kept it a secret , even the Church of Light could do nothing about it. But when I got the "Eye of Glory", there were at least a dozen other players around me, and I had no way to hide it. It became an "open secret". Facing such a "hot potato", if I handled it carelessly, it might give others a pretext to attack me. Once the public was excited, they would impeach and report my "troublesome behavior" to the system. Not only would I be in trouble, but Long Xing Tian Xia might also be implicated, and in serious cases, I might even lose my position.
I also contributed a lot. On the surface, Damo Feiying, Qiu Shui Changtian and Qing Wu Feiyang had no objection to the fact that I snatched the artifact. Afterwards, they even congratulated me, showing a considerable "magnanimity". However, they also paid a high price for it, but in the end, they got nothing. They may have some resentment in their hearts. If I follow the orthodox practice and hand over the "Eye of Glory" to the NPC as a meritorious service in exchange for the system's reward, no one would say anything. However, compared with the actual value of the artifact, the "compensation" that the system can give is really pitiful and shabby. No one is selfless. In order to get greater benefits, I can only choose to deal with it privately. But after all, this is a good thing that was accomplished through the efforts of everyone in a group action, not something I did alone. It would be inappropriate for me to arbitrarily dispose of it. Moreover, no matter what means or purpose, once the "Eye of Glory " falls into the hands of a professional player of light, it will be my fault. I will be suspected of "putting personal interests above public interests" and may attract attacks from others, thereby being punished by the system. It may not be as good as I imagined.
I have discussed this with Long Xing Tianxia, and he agrees that I should keep the "Eye of Glory" to myself in order to gain greater benefits, but he doesn't want me to get rid of it right away. Although "the government will not investigate if the people don't report it", as long as no one bothers you and you provide the system with solid and -line" things done by alliance members in private. However, the council with greater authority in the "Resistance Alliance" is not a "one-man show". Desert Eagle, Light Dance, and Autumn Water and Sky all have considerable power, and most of the players who witnessed the scene at the time belong to these three forces. If I can't win their support, I dare not dispose of the "Eye of Glory" at will. The situation with Qingwu Feiyang is a little better. I have a good relationship with Longxing Tianxia. In addition, Tianwang, Xinbitiangao and others should help me and probably won't make things difficult for me. However, Dames Feiying and Qiushui Changtian may not give Longxing Tianxia face. They don't have any friendship with each other, and they also "took away" the "Eye of Glory" that they are also determined to get. I really can't think of a way to convince them to let me go. Once they get hold of the handle, they will probably come to trouble me. Fortunately, there is still no news about "Death Control". I don't know where it belongs. I don't have the idea of selling the "Eye of Glory" to make a fortune. I am not in a hurry to deal with it. I will put it aside for the time being and wait for news and slowly look for opportunities.
Although I didn't hand over the "Eye of Glory" out of selfish motives, this achievement cannot be attributed to me, but my performance in the interception operation was already very impressive. Coupled with the achievement of being the first to be promoted to the seventh-level profession, the accumulated merit has reached the system's reward standard, and I also received a "Soul Sealing Card", which is a very practical prop for a necromancer. If I can seal a powerful undead creature, it will definitely be a sharp weapon for challenging opponents of higher levels or changing the situation of the battle at a critical moment.
As for the seniority value, through the wars in the "Dead Soul Space" and the human world, the growth rate is not slow. Compared with other players, I should have a certain advantage, but this is just the beginning. There is still a long road to promotion. It is not enough to leave other players far behind. I can't assert that I will definitely be the first to advance to the eighth level. After all, the level of corpse witches is too low. Killing them or signing a "soul contract" with them has almost no contribution to the growth of seniority value. After working hard for a long time, it may not be as good as killing a terrifying ground dragon knight. It is more of a waste of time. However, under the pressure of the three witch kings and the responsibility of guarding the "Blood Pool" area, I have to try my best to subdue more corpse witches and build my own sphere of influence as soon as possible. With this increase and decrease, it is impossible to maintain a high-speed growth momentum, which gives other players the opportunity to catch up.
