Scene 86 The Dead and the King (1)

The rider below is like a translucent crystal statue, glowing under the fine dust. It held a silver spear, rode a horse and circled around the outside of the temple, and then disappeared from everyone's eyes on the other side of the wall. The whole process was silent. But with just such a startling glance, Brando basically determined the approximate attributes of this ghost knight - a territorial monster, and he determined his tactics in an instant.

He turned around and faced thirteen pairs of eyes of different colors - containing emotions ranging from hesitation to nervousness. Including Captain Huque, the mercenaries inevitably held their breath and waited for him quietly. The command. The noble daughter covered her mouth with her hands and coughed twice. Then she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

But there was only a pair of brown eyes, as bright as the stars in the sky, without fear or hesitation - her eyes were still focused on the direction of the temple, with great interest. Brando's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously paid more attention to the eldest lady, guarding against her sneaking out alone on a whim. For this egotistical guy who calls himself 'Lord Roman', it seems that this is not impossible.

It was as if for her, there was no danger in this world at all.

Sometimes Brando couldn't help but think that he really didn't know how the aunt he had never met trained little Roman to have such a character. He thought that ordinary families might not have this ability. But now was obviously not the time to think about this matter, so he turned back and said: "The tactics are actually very simple." He parted the bushes, looked around, then raised his sword and pointed to the hillside on one side: "See that Golan tree ―Is Elson Black Pine gone? You go there to ambush, and for the rest, just wait for me to lure it over.”

that's all?

Everyone was stunned.

"But... what are we going to do, Lord Lord?" Huque couldn't help but ask with hesitation.

Brando glanced at him and thought that this needs to be taught by others. Since they have entered the ambush circle, of course the rest are welcome. Please fight me to death. This is the difference between players and these aborigines. Players don't care about him. All in all, call him first and then talk about it. Anyway, the worst thing is that he will die once.

So he was stunned for a moment and replied naturally: "Well... of course I have to try my best..." But he suddenly realized the problem, so he simply changed to a simple explanation: "Okay, in other words, Just think that he has a grudge against you for taking away your wife and killing your children."

The hatred of seizing his wife and killing his children?

Huque was startled for a moment, and couldn't help asking with a puzzled look on his face: "But sir, let's be honest - my woman died in the war with the Cruz people long ago."

Brando held his forehead and sighed.

"Then just think that he owes your mercenary group one million Thor as a reward and has no intention of paying -"

shock

Since Lubis's mercenaries became famous, they have never heard of anyone daring to default on their wages. This is simply unreasonable. There is a saying that cutting off a person's wealth is equivalent to killing his parents. If this revenge is not avenged, how can we live together?

Lubis's mercenary's eyes turned red for twelve pairs of eyes, and Huque held the battle ax squeaking loudly. He said loudly: "Martha, it turns out that he is a swindler with the unreliable Angevin people." Sir, please rest assured that in the name of Lord Martha, we will beat the damned soul to the point of being beaten to the point of death, so that it will know that our Lubis people’s debts are not so easy to owe.”

Antitina stood aside with an embarrassed look on her face and listened to the mercenary captain's nonsense. As the rich daughter of Prague, how could she have the opportunity to come into contact with such vulgar words on weekdays? The filthy meaning contained in the curses almost made her She fainted, but fortunately, she finally gritted her teeth and supported herself. Then he coughed, blushed and whispered:

"Brando, the opponent is the ghost knight in the legend. Can we really defeat him?" After all, the girl is not Brando's summoned creature like these mercenaries.

They could trust him wholeheartedly, but she still had doubts. After all, Brando's plan is too simple. With such a simple method, wouldn't anyone be able to deal with the Ghost Rider?

They are just a small group of ordinary mercenaries, and not all of them are swordsmen, great wizards, magicians or elves.

According to the limited descriptions in the literature, the strength shown by the Ghost Rider is at least as strong as that of a silver-ranked knight, close to that of a gold-ranked knight. And what are they going to use to fight such a quasi-golden swordsman? Just rely on an ambush? But ambush will not improve everyone's fixed combat effectiveness, or is it that their purpose of hiding there is just to scare the other party?

Okay, let’s take a step back and say that this one really makes sense, but we must also consider that undead creatures don’t have the emotion of fear at all, right?

"Of course." Brando blocked her next words with a matter-of-fact answer.

"Why?"

Antitina couldn't help but blurt out and asked.

"Don't worry, it won't attack us - to be precise, it can't hit us."

"Can't hit?" The noble daughter was dumbfounded. What's the reason? Why can't Ghost Rider be beaten? Is his hand weak? Or is the knight actually a pacifist? For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. This was not a good time to joke, but she thought of Brando's glorious record all the time, and it seemed that even the most ridiculous things would become natural to him.

But the most incredible thing is that he was proven right every time.

Thinking of this, Antitina suddenly felt that she should calm down. However, she still couldn't restrain herself and complained in a low voice: "How can I accept such an explanation? I am your staff, sir..."

Brando shrugged, it was really hard for him to explain this thing.

Because few monsters patrol along fixed routes, this shows that this ghost knight has a strong sense of territory. But in the game, this type of monster has another name, and that is - lord monster. These monsters have a common characteristic, that is, they will linger within their fixed area. Once they touch that 'territory limit', they will immediately turn around regardless of what is happening at the time.

This kind of monster is extremely rare in the game, because this mandatory setting is easy for players to take advantage of and take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to kill monsters that are much higher than them.

Therefore, most of the lord monsters are extremely ferocious, and most of them are long-range creatures - for example, the sealed black dragon in Kanolu Canyon, the Seven-pole Dragon King, and Fusia Kesi. The teacher of the dog god Auguste, the evil dragon nicknamed 'Master Craftsman' by the players. Although the ban range is only three miles, the attack range has been as far as a hundred miles away. He is the strongest leader of North Warend. One of the monster-like creatures.

The other kind is even more perverted, simply a monster that cannot be killed outside the domain. For example, Kaa, the earth spirit.

But Brando also knows that there is a third type of lord monster, which is a task that is limited by the plot and tasks, so that a more powerful monster can reasonably appear in a lower-level area so that players of the corresponding level can kill it. Boss. Obviously, this ghost knight is the last one. Of course, when the players who first embarked on this mission wrote that guide, their understanding of the ‘Amber Sword’ was obviously not as deep as it was later, so they adopted a head-on approach in the guide.

But in Brando's view, it doesn't have to be that troublesome.

But he was actually a little pity, because even if he fought hard, he could still bring down the ghost knight. However, because the original setting is "plot killing", the level of equipment dropped by monsters will be reduced by 50%, which is not a small amount. Basically, the skip-level reward is completely deducted, or even exceeded.

Brando doesn't know how this world is set up, but according to his original experience, he must not be far away from ten.

He lowered his head and looked at Antitina with his brown eyes without blinking - in fact, he also knew the reason why the Ghost Rider could not leave the temple too far. These evil spirits were the negative emotions born from the unyielding resistance of the ancient elven emperors, but Martha sealed the altar before they had time to rush out of the nest - in history, Eruin had Many high-ranking priests and monks have lost their lives, so the royal family has been unwilling to mention this secret that has been hidden for many years. On the other hand, the sealed altar no longer provides magic power, and the evil spirits cannot naturally maintain it.

Only the altar seemed to still have a trace of breath left, which prevented it from immediately falling apart, but it could only linger near the shrine.

But it sounds simple, but to explain this involves the knowledge of the soul and the core of magic. Brando is a player who can speak freely, but this knowledge is basically one of the core knowledge of the Temple of Fire. It involves the contract between man and spirit, and is also the source of their power. He is not a highly accomplished master of theology. It is okay to pretend to be a half-hearted wizard under the guise of a highland knight, but once he tells these things, Antitina will probably doubt him even if she is a puppet.

Besides, the girl is still so sharp.

"Maybe it's because I think that ghost knight looks a bit friendly. Maybe it won't attack us?" Finally, he thought for a moment and replied seriously.

"Lord Brando."

Antitina took a deep breath.

"Okay," Brando patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, just follow Roman's example, don't worry, when have I ever lied?"

Learn from Roman?

Antitina couldn't help but look back at the business lady, who was looking absently in the direction of the temple, as if expecting to see the ghost knight for the second time.

"I think it's often..." In the end, she sighed and muttered dissatisfiedly, but the girl also knew that Brando never said that he missed anything - as if he could predict the outcome of everything. .

Brando smiled, knowing that she had been convinced. He waved his hand to let others take action, then asked Hu Que to borrow a heavy crossbow and used his pedals to wind it up - speaking of attracting monsters, the heavy crossbow was a treasure among players. However, Huque frowned when she saw his actions and couldn't help but said: "Lord, how about I go and lure that undead over?"

"No, I'm an expert in this area." Brando patted the heavy crossbow confidently, making the strings crackle, as if he might shoot the noisy arrow ahead of time at any time.

Huque watched with fear, thinking that this young lord looked like a layman, otherwise he would not have made this rude request. After all, in Warend, if he said this, he was suspected of looking down on his own lord. In this era where the reputation of a noble was more important than life, this was a serious crime.

But he couldn't watch his lord die.

Fortunately, Antitina also saw the mercenary captain's worry from the side and couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, is it okay?"

Brando gave her a strange look: "What's the problem?"

The girl was choked to death, but at least she didn't immediately roll her eyes.

But Brando smiled: "Okay, I know what you are worried about. But what, if the 'Ghost Rider' crystal comes out, I will invite you to have sex at the most luxurious hotel in Ampelsel -"

Ghost Rider Crystal?

The two of them were stunned, what is that? **What does "once" mean?
