628 Time Travel (1/2)
These Holy Knights' AI was quite high. They knew that it was to their disadvantage to attack from the lower ground and hence, chased the Atlanta civilians to the front to act as their shield such that the players on the mountain could only roughly see where they were.
”Why don't we kill these civilians first?” Berserk Thundergod said as his eyes lit up.
”What a great idea, Boss!”
The Atlanta civilians did not have impressive abilities but were clad in shiny rare items. Everyone was already greedy for those. Hearing Berserk Thundergod's suggestion, all the players were excited.
Fearless gave them a cold smile, ”Why don't you try attacking them?”
Berserk Thundergod said nothing and took out his crossbow and shot at the Atlanta civilians in front.
Quickly, they received a system notification: Intentionally attacking NPC on your side. Quest completion rate -1%.
”F*ck!” Berserk Thundergod saw the notification and fearfully kept his crossbow.
Damn it, their completion rate was only 10% and by just attacking the NPC once, it dropped by 1%. If the NPC died, would they immediately fail the quest?
”All of you, don't move! We can't attack the NPCs,” Berserk Thundergod hurriedly yelled, then turned around to ask Fearless, ”Boss Fearless, what should we do now?”
When in a battle, under usual circumstances, the one on higher ground had the advantage but now that the Holy Knights used this method, it was obviously arranged by the system. If they stubbornly attacked, they would accidentally injure the NPCs and would lose more than they gain. However, if they do not attack, the Holy Knights would be even tougher to deal with when they reached the top of the mountain.
Fearless smiled and said, ”Very simple! Let's surround them!”
…
At that point in time, under Wang Yu's lead, Quan Zhen Sect reached Atlanta City's Magicians' Academy.
Once they entered the academy, Wang Yu asked, ”What should we say when we find Regis?”
Ming Du took out the letter and said, ”Use the letter in exchange for the coordinates!”
”What, so simple?” Wang Yu paused for a while as he felt that Ming Du's words were not reliable. However, Wang Yu could not explain as to why he found it unreliable. Regardless, Wang Yu did not think that this quest would be so easy.
Ming Du confidently said, ”Of course, simple is beauty.”
”If it was so easy, why did I even come with you guys?” Ling Longmeng asked.
”I did not ask you guys to come along. It was that idiot, Fearless, who wanted you guys to come. Maybe it is for you guys to witness the completion process of an S-grade quest,” Ming Du said shamelessly.
”Huh, why did you become as shameless as him?” Everyone snickered.
The Magicians' Academy was not considered large when compared to the huge Atlanta City. The dozen of them separated to look around and quickly, they found a very weak and pale-looking NPC in the library.
The [Probing] skill they threw over showed question marks all over the NPC. However, now that all the NPCs in Atlanta City had gone to defend against the God's Punishment Army, there was definitely no other NPC other than Regis who was hiding there.
Seeing Wang Yu and the rest enter the library, Regis weakly shouted, ”Who are you guys? How dare you barge in without my permission!”
Regis' voice was very weak. It seemed like he did not have much time left to live but the animosity in his voice was very obvious.
”Oh? He looks very familiar.”
