Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 249: War Gray and Roger
Mengbai is so anxious now!

Time has never felt so long!

She had deeply experienced the power of Miracle City Withdrawal Syndrome, especially in the first few minutes before the secret realm was opened. She felt as if ants were biting her whole body and it was very uncomfortable.

Mengbai has come at a good time. The facilities in Miracle City are becoming more and more complete, and business and services are becoming more and more prosperous. There are many ways to kill time, such as the training tower or the tavern.

Practice?

That is impossible!

She is not a diligent and self-disciplined dragon.

So we spent the whole night in the bar and indulged in wild consumption.

She spent all the hundreds of contribution points she had earned from unlocking the Golden Tree Shield. Not only did she try out the many special drinks in the tavern, she also used the on-demand function of the tavern crystal to appreciate many classic adventure videos of Miracle City at once.

Qi Ji’s “Miracle City Cinema” has not been built yet.

The video crystal plays adventure slices which also have a good entertainment effect.

Mengbai watched several classic clips of Ashina, Sui and Tang, Black Light, and Titan.

The slices cannot fully interpret the plot story, and the performance of the image crystal is not even one-tenth of that of the secret crystal, but it is enough to open one's eyes and make people marvel, and fully feel the richness and fun of the world created by the Lord of Miracles.

The closed city period is a great time to gather intelligence and prepare for the next day's adventure!
Although the Elden Circle, the opening work of the Fourth Secret Realm Disease Realm, has only been open for a day, a lot of information and images of the border area can be found.

Mengbai spent a lot of time collecting intelligence and discussing plot tactics with other adventurers, so his mind is now full of plans and ideas. No wonder he is so anxious and tormented at this moment.

Finally made it to Kaesong!

Miracle City is still full in a second!
More than 10,000 adventurers rushed into the secret hall frantically.

Although the Miracle City Hall is large, it cannot accommodate so many adventurers in a short period of time, and it is inevitable that some slow adventurers will have to queue up.

"Damn it! The crystal is full!"

"Miracle City obviously has so many crystals, but I didn't expect there wouldn't be enough."

"Yeah, how come there are so many adventurers? It's time we ask the lord to create more secret crystals!"

"It doesn't matter."

"It's better to see other big guys take risks first!"

"..."

When adventurers queue up, they will look for their favorite secret realm crystals. Different adventurers are interested in different worlds. As a newly opened secret realm, the Elden Ring is quite popular, so a group of adventurers quickly gathered around the cute white crystal.

“Isn’t this Mr. Mengbai?”

"What? Boss Mengbai? She's the one who killed a tree guard yesterday without any enhancements!"

"So strong? Then I have to take a closer look!"

"Come on, Boss Mengbai! Get through the storm level and enter Stonewell City!"

"..."

Mengbai could feel that a lot of people had gathered near the secret crystal. Watching, cheering, and even joking and making fun of people during the adventure were one of the important pleasures of the dungeon.

Miracle City is full of activities and has a lot of content.

The emotional value generated is several times greater than that of other dungeons.

Meng Bai: "Hey, don't worry, everyone. We must go to Stonewell City, but before that, I have to get some good stuff!"

good stuff?
What good stuff?

The other adventurers were confused as to why they knew each other.

Mengbai first used the blessing to return to the blessing camp in front of the Faded Drifting Cemetery, and then galloped on horseback for more than ten or twenty minutes to reach another blessing point and activated it. This place was called the Banghai Ancient Ruins.

Why is it called this name?

Because this blessing is located on the coast west of Nimgefu.

A large group of ancient ruins was built on the cliffs beside the sea. The huge vertical drop created a strong visual shock. One could see ancient and dilapidated huge stone pillars as high as a hundred meters slanting into the sea, and the broken arches piercing the mist like the ribs of a giant beast.

“How come there are so many relics in this place?”

Adventurers are all attracted by the ancient and mysterious ruins. Although these ruins look dilapidated, they are still majestic and shocking, which makes people think of the glory and grandeur of the past.

The cliff is too high.

If you want to go down, you may have to take a long detour.

Just as the adventurers were thinking this, Mengbai showed off her skills again. She rode the spirit horse Torrett to jump between the stone pillars, and then discovered a huge column of air flow.

"right here!"

Mengbai controlled the spirit horse to leap suddenly, accurately drilling into the wind column from a height of several hundred meters, and then landed directly under the cliff with the help of the airflow.

grace!

So elegant!

The other adventurers were stunned.

Among the many characters in Miracle City, there are high-performance characters like Aigo and Kratos, but the characters played in the story of Elden Ring do not have strong performance.

At least in the early stages, the character's performance is weak.

If he jumped directly from a height of several hundred meters, he would definitely die. However, Mengbai landed smoothly on the ground while riding a horse and was unharmed. This scene surprised the other adventurers.

"Could it be that……"

"Spiritual horses can use air currents."

"Or perhaps it has a certain ability to control the wind?"

"This is a very important discovery. It may be useful frequently in future adventures!"

"..."

After Mengbai landed.

Explore the ancient ruins by the sea now.

There are many crabs of all sizes and ugly sea squirts on the beach here.

They were not very aggressive and posed limited threat, so Mengbai didn't pay much attention to them and continued exploring. Not long after she started walking, she heard a sound of fighting in front of her, which immediately alerted her.

The warhorse was released.

Carefully approach the direction of the sound.

Two Faded Ones are challenging a strange humanoid creature near the remains of an archway.

"found it!"

Meng Bai was delighted.

The information I collected turned out to be correct!

He immediately hid in the nearby ruins and observed carefully.

There was nothing special about the two faded ones. They wore rusty and tattered armor, and the weapons in their hands were also severely worn and aged. They were only at the first level, three or four stars, and were very common passers-by and cannon fodder in the border area.

Perhaps they had obtained some intelligence or were carrying out a mission, so they came to explore deep into the ruins and eventually found the humanoid monster before them.

Mengbai set his sights on the monster.

This is a pale figure about two meters tall, skinny and tall.

Although he has a silhouette similar to that of a slender human, his skin has a pale stone texture. He holds an ancient longsword in his hand and is fighting with two faded ones.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Resurrected White King Swordsman!]

Mengbai said: "I found it. I'm lucky. This White King Swordsman is the one I'm looking for."

The adventurer Daitoue asked, "The White King? Could he also be a king? He doesn't look like a king at all!"

Meng Bai explained, "This is just a first-level five-star unit. Although its rank isn't high, it should be very rare. If its spirit can be released, I believe it will be of great value!"

A first-level rare monster?
That's really rare!
The adventurer's eyes brightened.

Mengbai continued to explain: "Also, according to the introduction provided by the Monster Encyclopedia, the White King is not a title but a name. This race is called the White King, and they are not creatures of the borderland."

"Isn't it a life form from the border area? Could it be an outsider who has entered the border area?"

"No, they are not from the borderland, nor are they from any other place on this earth. Instead, they are a mysterious race that arrived in ancient times based on meteorites."

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this.

I didn't expect to encounter such a monster in the desolate wilderness.

"Coming with the meteorite?"

"That must be from outer space!"

"I feel like the worldview of this secret realm is bigger than I imagined!"

"..."

The White King Swordsman was not very clear-headed and was unable to communicate. He was swinging his sword frantically to attack the two faded ones. His sword skills were powerful and fierce, and the latter were struggling to defend themselves.

After a few rounds.

The White King Swordsman suddenly raised his sword.

The blade emitted a purple light.

The moment the White King Swordsman made the chopping motion, the purple light condensed into a purple-black energy ball. The moment the energy ball was released, the surrounding ruins immediately cracked and collapsed under the influence of the force field.

The two faded ones who were originally quite agile suddenly became sluggish. They felt that the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands had become several times heavier!
"This is... gravity!"

Mengbai could feel the nature of this force. The purple-black energy ball contained gravitational energy, so it could greatly increase the weight of objects that came into contact with it or were within its range of influence.

The two faded ones reacted too slowly. When they realized that something was wrong, it was already difficult for them to break free. Their strength was generally at a disadvantage, and now they were suppressed and affected by gravity. The final result was predictable.

One was hit by the gravity ball and was crushed into a meat patty on the spot.

One was directly torn into two halves by the sword with gravity energy.

After killing two small fry, the White King Swordsman condensed and released a gravity ball again. The target of this attack was none other than the broken wall where Mengbai was hiding.

"This spell is interesting, but it's too slow!"

Mengbai will not repeat the same mistake. Even if the distance is increased, although the gravity ball has considerable power and suppression ability, the energy ball moves too slowly, and this attack is not difficult to dodge.

when!
when!
The iron sword collides with the stone sword!
Just exchanged two moves with the White King Swordsman.

Purple energy suddenly emerged from the latter's blade, once again adding powerful gravity.

Mengbai nimbly dodged the gravity sword and slashed at the White King with two consecutive swords, instantly tearing the tough pale stone skin. Black dirty blood immediately splattered out. It turned out that this kind of monster could also bleed.

The White King Swordsman suffered heavy damage but said nothing. He had long lost his mind and only a body with fighting instincts remained. Therefore, he did not hesitate or retreat in fear and swung his sword again to chop at the adventurer.

when!
Mengbai countered this time.

The sword pierced into the body of the White King Swordsman quickly, accurately and fiercely.

This White King was ultimately not a leader, at most just an elite low-level monster. Its movements were too stiff and slow, and its skills were limited, so it was quickly defeated by the adventurer. The White King swordsman fell to the ground, dead.

The body quickly turned into ashes.

Only a small cluster of shimmering ashes remained.

Mengbai quickly picked up the ashes, and she also quickly received relevant information.

[War Gray: Gravity] (Secret Realm Skill), a rare first-level skill... Introduction: Derived from the combat skills of the White King with stone skin, stabbing the weapon into the ground can generate gravity waves, which can damage the enemy and pull them closer.

Mengbai successfully obtained the first skill acquired at the border.

The Elden Ring does not have a very clear setting or introduction for War Ash, but when the Miracle City forms a secret realm, the setting in this regard is automatically completed and improved.

The explanation of the Miracle City Secret Realm vs. Ash is part of Soul Ashes.

Most creatures in the border area will turn into ashes after death.

After the death of a very small number of lives, their soul ashes will remain intact, and eventually form ashes that adventurers can use to summon spirits.

There are also very few lives where, after death, part of their soul ashes will be preserved, eventually forming the ashes essence of a skill that the being was best at during his lifetime, also known as battle ashes.

War ash can exist alone.

It can also be attached to the weapons used during life.

After the adventurer obtains war ash at the border, he can find a blessing point at will and use the power of blessing to attach the war ash to a suitable weapon, so that he can successfully perform the combat skill.

There are 308 kinds of weapons and 92 kinds of collectible war ashes in the game Old Man Ring. The sum of weapon-specific combat skills and war ashes combat skills is at least one or two hundred.

And that's just the gaming part.

If you install some special game MODs and use the skills of various elite monsters and BOSSes, then the potential combat skills will conservatively be around 300.

This is a combat skill.

But it does not include magic or prayer.

This is still just the tip of the iceberg for Miracle City.

Because Qi Ji's material pack not only contains the main body skill materials, but also includes many materials from various derivatives and hidden characters. The total amount of all skills is probably at least doubled.

And there are even more magic and prayers!
This is the potential value and one of the many treasures of the Elden Ring!

As long as adventurers explore and develop this world well, they will not only have the opportunity to obtain rare and divine equipment such as the "Divine Body Transformed into Sword", but also acquire various rare skills and spirits.

The old man has many combat skills, magic, and prayers as numerous as the stars.

This "War Ash: Gravity" is undoubtedly one of the most inconspicuous war ashes.

But even such a seemingly weak combat skill seems to have extraordinary value to Mengbai.

Although the skills contained in this battle ash are nominally combat skills, they are magical combat skills and are actually closer to magic, and are very similar to the skills used by the White King Swordsman.

we can even say.

"Gravity" contains the most basic core ability of gravity magic.

Mengbai, as a knowledgeable ancient dragon prophet, was born with great wisdom and comprehension. She knew that magic of this nature had never appeared in the Chaos Continent. If she could analyze the principle of gravity in gravity magic...

She might have the opportunity to create a completely new spell system!

Mengbai got the first skill in the secret adventure as she wished. She also explored a cave near the Banghai ancient ruins and found the "Holy Dragon Emblem Amulet" from one of the unweathered corpses.

A second-level common item.

Can reduce the damage of holy attribute attacks.

After Mengbai put it on his body, he activated the blessing teleportation and arrived at the blessing point in the woods before the Storm Level, and then began to move towards the Storm Level.

Didn't go long.

Encountered another team of Grek patrolmen.

This time it is still a combination of a Grek Knight and four soldiers.

Mengbai was defeated by such a combination yesterday. She decided to take revenge and earn some runes at the same time, so she immediately took out the spirit-summoning bell and the wild wolf ashes.

Jingle Jingle!

Knight Greg and his men were patrolling the woods when they suddenly heard the sound of bells in the bushes. Before he could react or order a search, three giant translucent spirit wolves rushed out, roaring.

"what?"

"Kill them!"

The Grek soldiers hurriedly responded to the attack.

The three wild wolves are not too weak and are quite flexible.

Mengbai took advantage of the fact that Knight Greg's attention was attracted and approached carefully from behind. Then he raised the sword in his hand. Purple energy gathered on the blade and then suddenly inserted it into the ground.

boom!
A wave of purple energy erupted, not only causing some damage and impact to the Grek soldiers, but also pulling two of them closer.

good chance!
Mengbai immediately attacked with several swords, breaking down a soldier's defense, and then pierced his heart, killing him on the spot, making the situation four against four.

"The Fader!"

Knight Greg was furious and immediately launched an attack.

There is no reason to be afraid of the opponent in a one-on-one fight, so Mengbai directly confronts him head-on.

Although it was a one-on-one situation, we have to admit that he was capable of being selected as a knight. His strength was indeed quite impressive. Mengbai also barely won after a dangerous and hard battle.

When the knight was killed.

The soldiers are nothing to worry about.

A few dollars each.

Blood is splattered!

"Hahaha, revenge successful. Now you know how powerful this Fader is!"

Mengbai was very happy after successfully avenging the murder she suffered yesterday. However, this was just a small episode for her. She soon found a blessed camp hidden in the woods, where dozens of faded people gathered.

"From here, walk another four or five miles north and you'll reach Storm Pass through the woods!"

Mengbai explained his purpose to everyone, "However, Storm Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defenses of the Grek troops inside and outside are quite strict, so I don't plan to launch an attack on Storm Pass immediately."

An adventurer immediately asked, "What is your goal, sir?"

"According to my intelligence, there's a place called the Ruins of the Front Pass about ten miles outside of Stormwind Pass. It's been set up as a transit station by Greg's soldiers."

Meng Bai said, "The carriages carrying goods in and out of Stonewell City all stop here, so there will be a lot of supplies and goods in the barracks. I plan to gather people here and grab some."

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized.

Mengbai gathered people not only to attack the military camp and plunder supplies, but also to take this opportunity to select some reliable faders, who can play an important role in the subsequent attack on the Storm Level and Stonewell City!

Think of this.

No longer hesitate.

Be the first to stand up and make demands on the other faders in the camp.

When they learned that Mengbai was planning to attack the military camp in front of Greg Pass and plunder the supplies, equipment and treasures stored there, most of the faded people at the scene were tempted, and many chose to join the team.

Three people, five people, ten people... The smoothness of gathering manpower this time was a little beyond expectations, but in a short moment, thirteen faded people were willing to join.

These faders all have two characteristics.

First, their strength is average, generally at the first level, four or five stars.

Secondly, they are all poor and don’t have enough money to maintain their armor and weapons.

Although these faded ones are not very strong, Mengbai just wants to use them. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and with so many faded ones joining, the chances of winning will be much higher.

"It's not enough, or not enough, a little more would be nice..."

Based on the intelligence obtained, Mengbai speculated that there were at least three to four hundred Grek soldiers stationed in the military camp in the ruins in front of the pass, including several Grek knights. The current assembled force was obviously not enough.

That's when.

She noticed a different kind of faded person in this camp.

This Faded One is completely different from the other Faded Ones in terms of clothing and temperament. He wears a travel outfit in the style of a magic swordsman, which is embellished with delicate decorations, and a slender rapier hangs at his waist.

Mengbai has been at the border for so long.

It was the first time I saw a faded person dressed so exquisitely and gorgeously.

Various kinds of faded ones will randomly appear in the Blessing Camp at the border of Miracle City.

More than 90% of them are just cannon fodder that are useless, but occasionally some stronger guys will appear, or even key characters related to important plots.

And this faded one.

It's not simple at first glance.

Maybe he is an important person.

Meng Bai then asked, "What's your name, friend? Are you interested in joining us and making something big?"

"Hello, my name is Roger. As you are thinking right now, I am a fader and a magician!"

Roger said calmly, "I have no interest in robbing Greg's camp. I'm investigating a very important matter right now and need to enter Stonewell City to find something... But if you're willing to help me, I can also lend a hand!"

Entering Stonevale?

Although it seems that Stoneville City is not far away.

But entering the castle is not an easy task.

Not to mention the majestic and steepness of Stonewell itself and its strict security.

Even if you successfully capture the camp before the level, you still have to pass through the Storm Level and Storm Hill before you can reach the gate of Stonewell City.

however.

Mengbai's target.

It's Stonewell's limb grafter, Greg!
This Roger might be of use, so he agreed to Roger's request and let him enter Stoneville to find what he wanted. In return, Roger would help deal with the military camp.

The cooperation has been agreed.

Mengbai still wanted to try to trick the other party into talking.

But this Faded One was very tight-lipped and would never reveal his origins or what he was investigating. It was estimated that he did not have enough trust in the adventurers at the moment.

It does not matter.

With Roger joining.

The strength of the Faded Ones' team has increased significantly.

Mengbai now has enough confidence to take down Greg's Guanqian military camp in one fell swoop!
