Can't I develop my own character?

"Pre-quest creation...isn't this a DLC that comes later in the game?"

In Empress Online, you can transfer other characters to hidden professions, but sometimes the new profession you discover is not the same as the character you want to transfer to, so the game company makes a pre-DLC to make money.

In fact, it is of no use. It just saves players some time of going back and forth. They actually dared to release it separately. Can't this be considered game optimization?

Ryan clicked on the creation of the prerequisite task.

[Please note that you cannot create a new character before completing the prerequisite quests. If you give up, you will no longer be able to obtain that profession through the prerequisite quests. Please choose carefully.]

"Tsk, who are you trying to scare? You can't wipe your butt before you poop, right?"

There are so many hidden professions, Ryan never thought that he could get them all. One more is a profit.

Ryan identifies the front option.

[Professional quest locked - Prerequisite quest confirmed: Echo of the Deep Sea Hunter.]

The Deep Sea Hunters are a group of wandering souls that dwell in the Tranquil Ocean. They disguise themselves as bounty hunters and travel the land. Each Deep Sea Hunter is a leader in their profession, and their deity, known from ancient times as the 'King of the Wild Hunt,' is so powerful that countless Old Gods once feared him.

[Please go to Meld Town and find the lost 'Black Sword Fragment'.]

"Deep Sea Hunter? Racial God?"

Ryan was stunned.

The name Deep Sea Hunter sounded familiar yet quite unfamiliar. He was sure that he had seen it before, but he couldn't think of any relevant information at all.

However, the King of the Wild Hunt is not a god of any faith, but a racial god. He has seen this in the official information about gods.

So the quest is to find fragments and then summon a class? What the hell is this Holy Grail War?

"what happened?"

Casradi, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea, asked doubtfully.

Ryan seemed to have been thinking with his head down since just now. Could it be that something unexpected happened in the battle of Yinfeng City?

"Your Highness, have you heard of Melde Town?"

"Melder? I've only heard of Count Melder."

"Uh... that shouldn't be it. Have you heard of the Deep Sea Hunter?"

"what?"

"never mind."

Ryan waved his hand and decided to go back and check the information first. Since he was a bounty hunter, there would always be information left. At least it would be much more reliable than looking for hidden professions all over the world.

......

The chat with Casradi ended that afternoon. After obtaining Hainuo's consent, she made the relevant information public. The printing presses of the Berman City Newspaper Office were smoking from printing. According to the mayor's wishes, they had to print so much that there wouldn't be enough space to post it on the streets!

Ryan didn't even need to give any orders for this explosive news. The news organizations had already worked overnight, and by the next day, it had spread almost throughout the entire southern border.

Although some people have doubts about this, there is a photo of Casradi and Heino in the printed newspaper, which cannot be faked. The Vice Dean of St. Marian is in Berman City at the moment. If she does not agree, how could she allow Casradi to do this?

Of course, most people didn't understand the significance of doing this. Wasn't he just the vice-president of an aristocratic school? How could he affect the competition for the crown prince of the empire?

But the news from the front line proved that this was indeed useful. The Second Prince's Red Tiger Guards were supposed to arrive at Yinfeng City first, but suddenly stayed there for half a day. As a result, they lost the initiative and were occupied by "Weinei" and his men first.

Finally, the two armies faced off with the Silver Front City territory as the boundary, and a battle was about to break out.

Ryan guessed that the Second Prince was also feeling nervous right now. He must be in a bad mood because he suddenly had a Vice Dean as his opponent.

But this war had to be fought. What if he didn't? He was definitely unwilling to give up the southern border.

During the confrontation between the two armies, Ryan had already boarded a train to the West.

Lin Qi has been attacking and testing the area over the past few days, and has confirmed that the secret realm of the chaotic space only serves to prevent people from entering. Among the dozen or so paladins who have tried, only one wandered around in it in a daze for two days before coming out. He was not injured, but was a little confused and was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Although two days is not a long time, I have been in a state of tension and it has been very exhausting.

Those in front paved the way, and those behind ran away. After making sure there was no danger, Ryan ran forward directly. Anyway, he had "Ina" guarding the house, and "Charlie" and "Vine" watching the front line, so he could go and deal with other things.

Alas~ Xiaohao just needs to work hard, unlike him, who has a lot of things to consider.

at this time.

Ryan was sitting on the train reading a book.

Apart from him, there were only fifty soldiers and train staff on the train. Grandpa Ryan lacked a sense of security and did not like riding the train with people he did not know.

In front of him were several books, all about human geography.

He searched Melde Town for a long time but found no clues. He found several people named Melde. This name seemed to be as common as Zhang Wei in Chinese.

"There are so many places called Meld, but none of them look like it. Should I ask the great god of wisdom?"

Ryan rubbed his head.

Common problems made some information difficult to filter, such as Lady Melde, a large number of Melde Mountains, and Melde ruins. As for the town of Melde, two were also found, but after Ryan checked the information, he found that it was almost impossible for them to be related to the deep-sea hunters.

As for the Deep Sea Hunters themselves, the Hunter Guild in Berman City has no relevant information. This is a mysterious race, so mysterious that no one has even heard of where the Quiet Sea is.

But if it is the sea, the Augustus Empire is not on the sea at all. Ryan has been thinking about whether this so-called "sea" is literal since last night.

the other side.

While Ryan was heading to the West.

On the plains north of Yinfeng City.

Neat armies lined up on both sides of the plain. Right in front of the Alliance Army, 'Xia Li', wearing armor, stood in front of everyone with a blood-red sword stuck on the ground. She held the hilt with both hands.

The Red Tiger Guards were stationed north of Yinfeng City and did not seem to have any plans to attack in the short term. They were obviously wary of Hainuo's reputation. Moreover, the Second Prince had already occupied half of the southern border, and he even planned to stop there.

But 'Xia Li' had no intention of giving up, so she gave up the advantage of defending the city and led the army to fight the Red Tiger Guard head-on.

This is a plain, there is no conspiracy, only charge.

"Do you think we can win?"

An officer in the crowd said nervously.

"I'll win...right?"

The other officer hesitated.

"We're guaranteed to win!" an officer who had fought alongside 'Xali' throughout the war said with certainty, "We have a full eight thousand men!"

"But there are nearly 20,000 people on the other side."

"Eight thousand versus twenty thousand, isn't this an advantage for us?"

"???"

No, brother, have you ever learned arithmetic?

Although the Allied Forces advanced rapidly, they hardly fought any battles. The noble territories along the way were either already surrendered or had seen the situation clearly and did not intend to resist.

Most of this army are private armies from other nobles. Their military achievements are not as great as their tempers. They are a little nervous when they are faced with such a large scale at the beginning.

front.

With a ferocious expression, Xia Li shouted, "From Moksad to Alta, the name of the Holy Blood Legion will begin to shine!"

The Moksad Mountains are located in Kosothoa, on the border with the Kingdom of Cairnt, and the Alta Plains lie at their feet.

The Holy Blood Legion, the name of the legion built around 'Xali', is also the most core military force in Berman City now - although less than half of the people in this armed force are veterans who followed 'Xali' to fight against the Caint Army, the rest are the latest recruits.

But the people in the Legion have reason to believe that as long as they follow 'Xia Li', they will be invincible!

At this time, with the swords in their hands raised high, the Holy Blood Legion took the lead in charging.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The rest of the Union army also began to attack.

'Xia Li' led the way, followed by a thousand armored cavalrymen.

boom!

He used a Blood Void Slash to blow up the iron barrel formation set up by the front row of the Red Tiger Guards. As blood lines entangled them, the blood mercenaries stood up one by one and attacked the Red Tiger Guards around them.

"Don't panic, maintain the formation!"

An officer from the Red Tiger Guard shouted.

Their front-row soldiers hold large shields and wear heavy armor. They are the very famous Iron Guards among the Red Tiger Guards.

The large shields were heavy and had high defense, so ordinary cavalry could not break through the shield array. However, the training requirements for these soldiers were also high, so their number was not large in the entire Red Tiger Guard.

The officer did not let them face the cavalry charge head-on. Instead, after giving an order, the shield formation dispersed, and teams of heavily armed spearmen armed to the teeth appeared in the front.

Bang bang bang! !

In the rear, musketeers fired bullets.

Their target was the cavalry formation behind 'Xia Li'.

Using spearmen to stop cavalry charges is more effective than simple defense. Moreover, the Red Tiger Guards' muskets are extremely powerful and pose a considerable threat to heavily armored cavalry.

Before the armored cavalry got close, a large number of soldiers fell off their horses.

After breaking the formation with one strike, 'Xia Li' was immediately blocked by the extraordinary people from the Red Tiger Guard. The other side dispatched more than ten extraordinary people to besiege 'Xia Li'. Fortunately, Gluck and others arrived in time, and the two sides immediately formed a contest between extraordinary people.

An extraordinary person holding a bow and arrow jumped high, drew the bow and shot an arrow. The arrow split in the air and turned into a rain of arrows falling down.

Boom boom boom~~

The arrows were as powerful as a fierce cannon, causing a series of explosions on the ground.

"Fourth level?"

Although it was an area attack, Xia Li's health bar immediately dropped by nearly one-eighth.

Ryan looked solemn. You know, 'Xia Li' is a blood cow. Even without the 30% blood volume added by the blood will, her current attributes are not weaker than the fourth level.

All we can say is that the other party is an extraordinary profession that is good at attacking.

At this moment, in the picture, 'Xia Li' did not go to fight with this group of extraordinary people, but rushed towards the formation of the Red Tiger Guard.

Blood will has not been accumulated yet, and the effect of the war field requires the accumulation of heads. At this time, there is no benefit in fighting against the opponent in a general-to-general game.

However, the opponent's extraordinary person was obviously targeting her. The archer was chasing him from behind, and under the shadows, a shadow suddenly rushed out and attacked the running "Xia Li".

As assassin classes leveled up, their strange abilities became a headache even for warriors. 'Xia Li' didn't choose to defend, but instead used a trample skill right on the spot. Before the opponent's sword could hit her, the stun effect of the trample took effect first.

'Xia Li' took advantage of the situation and gave chase, swinging her blood-red sword down, but was stopped by an arrow.

This assassin-type transcendent was also at level four. The stun effect only lasted for less than a second. After he regained consciousness, he did not attack 'Xia Li', but immediately entered stealth mode.

After seeing this scene, Ryan knew that the other party was an old bastard.

A qualified assassin would never fight someone head-on, even if he has the upper hand in strength.

Kill with one strike and then run away. An assassin in invisible state is the most terrifying, which will bring immense psychological pressure to his enemies.

However, 'Xia Li' had a very strong psychological quality. Even if she failed to succeed, she turned around and left. After using her blood clone to mislead her opponent, she rushed into the Red Tiger Guard and killed them indiscriminately. When the blood mist gradually spread over the battlefield, the battle of the Blood Knights had just begun.

Blessing of the Blood God!

Blood control enhancement!

War field buff blessing!

Finally - sacrifice!

Ryan never thought that it would be so easy to gain the full attribute effect of sacrificing 888. When he first obtained this skill, he even made plans to lose 10% of all attributes every month. After all, killing 888 people is indeed a bit too much... So, the Blood Knight should go to the battlefield!

The 35% super buff bonus raised Xia Li's attribute value to a new level. As the war continued, the effect of the blood mist blessing became stronger and stronger.

After stacking up her health, 'Xia Li' rushed towards the archer, but this guy was as agile as a monkey. Although he couldn't fly, 'Xia Li' avoided several of her attacks.

This is even more true for the assassin. His job change should be to Shadow Hunter, the same profession as Blood Clothes, and he is a transcendent who has followed the path of faith in death.

The advantages of this profession are flexibility, elusiveness and super explosive power. The disadvantage is thin skin, which is a common trait of assassins.

The professional characteristics of the two have a great restraining effect on the Blood Knight. The Blood Knight has high stats, high blood and defense, can also suck blood, and burst out in group attacks. The only disadvantage is that the control and pursuit skills are insufficient.

The trampling range is too small, and it is not good at speed. It does not have stealth skills like 'Lin Qi', so it is generally only suitable for face-to-face numerical battles.

However, even in a situation where her professional characteristics were targeted, 'Xia Li' was still able to deal with two fourth-order transcendents with her professional abilities. What Ryan didn't know was that the other party was also mentally devastated, because 'Xia Li' would not be injured, but would only lose blood!

"Fuck! Is this guy unkillable?"
