Chapter 97 [There Is Excrement Ahead, Please Witness! ]

Not bad, but not enough.

Rock closed his panel.

Although he gained power by sharing the gray fog space, he now only had five more top-level amulets that did not occupy the equipment slot than others.

If he wanted to pass the Elden Ring World, he still had to find excellent weapons and learn magic prayers.

As for which school to go... With the blessing of his unique talent, Rock felt that he had the possibility of becoming a bucket number with comprehensive development.

…

The golden giant tree that soared into the sky at night was slightly dim, and the players in the dilapidated Ailei Church still had difficulty falling asleep.

Or since they completely stayed in this desperate world, they have never had a good sleep.

As "fading people", they were in the border area, and even the passing dogs would bite them twice, not to mention the malicious designs of the world itself.

"A few days ago, many people died in the drifting cemetery..." Kirito, who also had difficulty falling asleep, talked to Rock in a low voice.

The Drifting Cemetery is the cemetery in front of the cave where the novice tutorial is taught. In fact, it is not a place that the faded who have just finished the novice tutorial can go to...

Just like the big tree guard who is now wandering around the Church of Airey.

Kirito carefully glanced at the big tree guard outside. This huge golden knight always comes to wander around the Church of Airey from time to time.

The blood on the huge golden halberd seems to drip not on the ground, but on people's eyebrows.

Suddenly, Kirito remembered something and hurriedly said: "Forget that you are not a beta player. The Drifting Cemetery needs a stone sword key to open it."

"And the stone sword key is one of the initial items selected when creating a character." Kirito felt that his words were in vain.

Most of the newbies who chose the stone sword key as the initial item will be curious to try it.

Roque can still survive, so he must not have chosen the stone sword key.

"I know, this is what I chose."

"Huh?"

Kirito was a little surprised. In fact, he also chose the Stone Sword Key. He personally thought that this was a good choice among the initial items.

But Kirito didn't expect that Rock could suppress his curiosity and not force his way into the Drifting Cemetery while choosing the Stone Sword Key.

He wanted to ask Rock what he was thinking.

Suddenly——

In the dilapidated church, a faded person finally shouted loudly as if he couldn't hold it anymore!

"Why! Why do I have to be here!"

"I'm just playing a game! Why do I have to die here!"

"Idiot, stop shouting... You will attract the monster outside." The people around him hurriedly stopped him.

There is a hatred distance in the magic circle, and the sound will also attract the hatred of the monster.

In the full stealth game, this seems to be used to the extreme. If you accidentally pull the hatred of the tree guard in, then the huge golden halberd will smash it, and everyone in the dilapidated church will die.

Rock and Kirito also looked over, and the other party was not far from them.

In fact, the other party had been arguing quietly just now, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the position where he slept.

Maybe it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In Rock's eyes, although the Aire Church was dilapidated, it was much larger than the game in the previous life, and it was no problem to accommodate some players.

But because it was big, it made people feel insecure.

Most of this dilapidated church was exposed, not to mention the roof, there was not even a complete wall.

The best position was next to the blessing point, which was like a bonfire, giving people peace of mind. The second best position was the corner of the wall. Curling up against the corner would also give a sense of security. Rock and Kirito were in this position.

"Why should I sit here! Isn't it good for everyone to take turns sitting by the bonfire or in the corner? Why do you guys have to occupy the seats alone?"

"Keep your voice down and stop shouting... You chose the seat yourself. If you come early, you can sit in the blessed spot. It's you who came late..."

"You came early? Okay, okay... I wanted to say it a long time ago!" He stood up suddenly and looked around: "Among you, there must be an internal test player!"

When this was said, many people in the church changed their faces.

Rock finally remembered who this guy was - Fang Wang.

The hair on his head is like a nail hammer, very distinctive, and he likes to stand on the moral high ground and point fingers to make profits for himself.

"You guys are too selfish! It's because you don't share information that so many people died!"

This actually wronged many internal test players.

The internal test time itself is very short, and the gap between the public test and the internal test is very huge, so there is not much useful information.

In the first few days, everyone tried to persuade him, but he was still stubborn.

"NPC White Mask disappeared because of intelligence!" Ya Wang looked at the players present and spat out the name of this NPC through his teeth.

The White Mask incident happened on the first day. A large number of players were impatient and directly chopped the NPC White Mask standing at the beginning of the guidance, which attracted the hatred of White Mask and made White Mask start to be invincible among the faded people.

In fact, White Mask is not particularly strong, but it can't stand the weaker players on the first day.

Most players don't even understand the action modules and combat skills that come with the weapons, so they just rely on the large number of people and flee.

As for what happened afterwards, Rock didn't even have a bite of hot food, and White Mask had already taken the initiative to leave the blessing of the beginning of guidance.

Maybe he thought it was a wrong decision to come here to recruit people.

This was also the first big problem that appeared in the player group.

After this lesson, no one killed the second NPC wandering merchant Kale.

Humans really have to grow through failure.

"That white mask doesn't seem to be a good person either..." Kirito finally couldn't help it and mentioned it a little.

He still had some guesses about the main line. Although he didn't have much strategy, he still had some intuition for the game as an old player. The white mask's lines were designed to guide players to PVP.

Kirito thought it was a good thing that this kind of NPC disappeared, so as to avoid raising a group of murderous players.

"Oh?" Kiba suddenly looked at Kirito and Rock, "You little brat and that guy, you two were discussing intelligence just now!"

"I just heard it, you must be discussing the internal test!"

"You two are the internal test players..." Kiba gritted his teeth and walked towards Kirito and Rock step by step.

"Enough!"

Someone in the crowd stopped Kiba.

"In this rotten world, do you really think that little bit of information is useful?" Another person sighed and said.

"There are enemies everywhere here. This is not an old-fashioned role-playing game. It is more important to learn how to use the sword in your hand than to learn information or tasks."

The crowd was silent instantly, but Kiba was still shouting.

The truth is always hard to accept. Kiba was still fantasizing that as long as the internal test players contributed information, he could take off.

"Impossible!" Kiba grabbed Kirito's collar and shouted, "You guys are just cheating! You don't care about the lives of ordinary people like us!"

"You guys, do you understand what it means that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

The fake cheater Kirito immediately lowered his head in shame.

The real cheater Rock held his head high.

"I..." Kirito lowered his head and didn't know what to say, and Rock's voice rang from his ears.

"You just happen to have power, you have no obligation to save others." Rock said a line from a Kamen Rider he liked very much.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This kind of words are used by kind people to restrain themselves. Only when the ability person believes in it can he have the power to guide others to be good. It is meaningless for outsiders to impose it.

Kiba Wang looked at Rock fiercely: "You——"

He picked people deliberately. Kirito was young, and Rock chose "useless people" without equipment. Both of them were soft persimmons.

But Rock stood up slowly, and he stood still until his eyes were parallel to or even beyond Kiba Wang: "Someone has locked you with magic. If you continue to quarrel here."

"Someone may kill you first."

Kiba Wang was stunned, and then looked behind him.

The dark crowd was silent.

He pretended to be calm and suddenly raised his voice a few more times: "Then die together! Anyway, we will all die together! I will explode with you, the group of internal test players!"

"Really..." Rock thought for a while, picked up a relic stone from the ground, and then threw it in the direction of the big tree guarding the outside of the church.

"Pah!"

The stone fell to the ground!

The sound instantly attracted the tree guards!

"Swish--"

The huge horse head slowly turned around, and the heavy golden halberd was raised again! The tree guards, the huge killer wandering nearby, began to slowly approach the Aire Church!

"You are crazy!" King Ya couldn't help shouting.

The sound was louder, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly accelerated!

Everyone in the Aire Church suddenly stagnated and held their breath.

As long as they don't make any more noise, the hatred will soon disappear.

Even King Ya covered his mouth nervously.

The night seemed to be quiet again.

The moonlight shone on Rock, and behind him was the tree guard with the golden halberd, who was almost about to step into the Aire Church.

King Ya looked up at the tree guard in horror, not daring to move.

Even Kirito began to calculate the time when the hatred disappeared.

One second, two seconds... The tree guard stood there for a while, then slowly turned the direction of the horse and returned to the original patrol place.

"Huh..."

Watching the tree guard leave, the church seemed to make the sound of countless stones falling.

"You-are crazy!" Ya Wang cursed in a low voice, his eyes constantly glancing in the direction of the tree guard just now.

"It seems that you value your life very much, so don't be violent anymore." Rock smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Even the other people in the church lowered their heads.

This world full of lunatics will sooner or later drive the remaining players crazy.

Ya Wang stared at Rock in a daze, but he had lost the courage just now.

It was not until Rock put his hand on his shoulder and pressed him to the corner where Rock had just sat that Ya Wang came back to his senses.

"This place belongs to you, I don't need this sense of security anymore." Rock said.

Ya Wang did not dare to look at Rock, but silently tightened his body, hugged his knees with his hands, and pressed his back against the wall in the corner.

"I'm going to use the information from the internal test you mentioned to upgrade. Want to join me?"

The King of Kiba lowered his head and didn't speak, nor did he shout like before.

He was still huddled in the corner without moving.

Rock ignored him, but walked alone across the blessed protection area of ​​the Aire Church and walked towards the darkness in the distance.

Seeing this, Kirito hurriedly followed.

In the Airey Church, two people also noticed this situation, cleaned up a little, and followed quietly.

It's already twelve o'clock.
