Chapter 387: Just Robbers, In the End (1/2)

Since living conditions in the encampment of the Crookes survivors were rather horrid and it was likely that some double-agent or whatnot had blended in, the Church of Games did not build their hill-folk dungeon over there.

In fact, the Players who specialized in Life Skills receive a quest to excavate and construct a dungeon just two days ago.

Doing that, however, was not as easy as it sounds.

One must not forget that the patron deity of their opponent was the Lord of the Peakseven if he was not the ruler of the ground, he possessed some extent of Earth Authority. Naturally, his believers would be adept in sacred arts connected to the earth element.

If you would simply dig a hole and throw them in, you would be blanking out when you find an empty jail just ten minutes later, and be prepared to fight those moles adept at digging holes in a tunnel battle.

That was why the dungeon which the Life Skill Players built was a ‘game facility’ that Xi Wei strengthened with his own Earth Authority.

The restraints were set to three different standards depending on the criminal: ‘minor sacred-arts immunity’ was tailored against your average hill-folk, ‘earth-element insulation’ that prevented priests or clerics to use their powers, as well as ‘Game Rule: No touching of ground’ that sealed the powers of any high-ranked hill-folk hierarchs.

As a part of the event experience, after beating up any hill-folk they found, combat-class Players could use the lifestone to dump their captives into the corresponding dungeon to earn the corresponding amount of points. Since the top rewards of this reward were a hidden-class for the four classes of mage, warrior, ranger and cleric, almost every Player was feeling motivated to beat up some hill-folk.

It was fortunate that they could identify targets with the words hanging over anyone’s head, or they would probably have mistaken some mountain-dwelling hunters as hill-folk and capture them instead…

Either way, this event has no level limit and Players of any level were allowed to take part. Even if you could not defeat high-level Lord of the Peaks’ believers, you could defeat quality with quantity by capturing many low-level Lord of the Peaks’ believers.

Moreover, the event rewards were really alluring. That was why everyone from Edward’s first-rate gang down to third-rate Players who were shaping up as a fighting force was really keen and active on this event.

That, in turn, left the Lord of the Peaks’ believers to suffer.

Although the hill-folks shared a common faith and were united enough against outside threats, they were not actually a single group, but consisted out of three greater tribes and over a dozen lesser tribes.
