Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

On the platform of the altar, there were more than thirty ghost guards and a ghost wizard who was larger than the other ghost guards, with a blurred face and shrouded in darkness.

Zhou Ning also noticed that on the broad platform stood a tall figure wearing a crown and holding an open book in his hands.

The needle of the compass in his hand, which didn't point north, turned around and strangely pointed to the altar. No one knew how this survivor had managed to get there surrounded by so many ghost guards.

From Zhou Ning's perspective, the face of the figure above was not very clear, but from the long ears it could be seen that the sculpture was of an elf, looking quite majestic.

In the field of mysticism, spellcasting spirit monsters are much more likely to have intelligence and be able to communicate with humans than ordinary ghosts. Therefore, Zhou Ning did not intend to attack directly, but walked directly towards the altar.

Even if the other party is unable to communicate, he has full confidence that he can get away with it.

"What does he want to do?"

At this time, not only the players, but even the knowledgeable Rich Burke and others were a little confused about his behavior.

Under the gaze of others, Zhou Ning tried to move forward a few steps again, climbed the stairs of the altar, and tried to ask in ancient Faric language:

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

But as soon as he said it, Zhou Ning felt a little regretful. He felt that he would probably be talking at cross purposes, because even if the spiritual monster really had consciousness, it should be speaking ancient elven language - a ghost would not speak a foreign language, right?

Just as Zhou Ning was considering whether to temporarily evacuate or launch an immediate attack, the ghost wizard standing on the altar actually answered his question in standard ancient Faric:

"I am Gran Vaughn, the court mage and scholar of the Elven Kingdom."

"I am overseeing the security of this area and must ensure that no humans can invade here."

It's a very dull answer. It seems that although this ghost wizard still has intelligence, his intelligence is not very high. Wait... If this ghost wizard named Gran Vaughan was really a court wizard in his lifetime, then are these ghost guards transformed from living people?

Zhou Ning changed his mind and did not continue asking questions. Instead, he slowly climbed the stairs and came to the edge of the platform.

At this time, Rich Burke and the others also approached cautiously. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Glen Vaughn in the distance suddenly turn his head alertly, look over here, and shout loudly: "Intruders! Who are you?"

As soon as his voice fell, all the ghost guards wandering around the altar turned their heads in unison, their densely packed gazes looking over at him in unison.

A moment later, the ghost guards swarmed over here, and Gran Vaughan appeared in front of everyone in an instant. With a wave of the staff in his hand, a thick layer of ice instantly formed on everyone's bodies, feet, and thighs, and the silvery-white frost condensed around them, and the temperature dropped sharply.

"So strong!"

Zhou Ning's eyes narrowed, and at that moment, he felt his body frozen and became extremely slow. At the same time, a ball of red and golden flames suddenly ignited on the opponent's wand, suddenly covering everyone.

Rich Burke's eyes narrowed, and the ring on his finger instantly burst into light, forming a shield that enveloped everyone around him. This was also an unknown protective artifact.

This Richie Burke has a lot of cards up his sleeve... Faced with the sudden change, Zhou Ning didn't hesitate. He reached his right palm into his pocket. Under the influence of his peak observation Haki, when he pulled it out, there was a card between his index and middle fingers. It was a "Whirlwind" card.

Under the effect of the Stand, the card surface instantly became blank. Compared to the wind and rain summoned by the "Sword of Cortes", the wind and rain summoned by the Stand in the Yu-Gi-Oh card has a smaller range, but the power is not reduced, and it requires much less effort.

Amidst the whirring sound of the wind, a powerful whirlwind suddenly materialized and swept towards the flames in front of them, sweeping up the rocks and gravel on the ground and carrying the flames back towards them. The meteorologist nearby seized the opportunity to spread a cloud of powder.

With a bang, the flames rolled up high and rolled back. Glen Vaughan was blown by the whirlwind and his body swayed backwards involuntarily. He had no time to dodge and his body was already stained by a ball of flame. This ball of flame was extremely lethal. After hitting him, it spread out like ripples, burning the nearby ground in black, and his figure became blurred.

But his casting action was almost instinctive. He did not stop but continued to cast the spell. White electric light jumped in his hand again in an instant.

Damn, do you think you are Misaka Mikoto?

Before he had time to complain, Zhou Ning's pupils suddenly dilated. Through his observation Haki, he saw chain lightning shooting out of Gran Vaughn's hands. This was a range attack.

Sure enough, a thick and forked chain lightning shot out from Gran Vaughan's hand and shot towards everyone.

“-899!”, “-479!”, “-788!”

The large shield exploded into shattered fragments in an instant. Countless white lightning bolts blazed across the scene, creating a vast inferno. Strings of lightning, still sparking with electricity, crisscrossed the crowd, creating shocking numbers. In an instant, all five players were reduced to white light. The health of a dozen or so Northern sailors plummeted.

Zhou Ning didn't want to take the lightning damage head-on, so he activated the Traveler's Ring and teleported to the side and front. Instead of retreating, he advanced and closed the distance. Then, ebony and white ivory quietly appeared in his left and right hands, and after jumping in his hands, he pulled the trigger at Gran Vaughan.

boom! boom! boom!

Tongues of fire shot out of the muzzle of the gun, and three bullets emitting golden flames shot into the darkness and into Gran Vaughn's body. As a spellcaster, Gran Vaughn naturally maintained an ice shield on his body at all times.

But the first bullet alone shattered the ice shield on his body. The second bullet penetrated his head with great force. The third bullet opened a crack in his head, forcing him to open his mouth and let out a sharp scream. In an instant, a sound wave spread out.

"Fuck!"

Richie Burke had just woken up, but his head felt numb again and his body felt like it was petrified and he couldn't move. He could only stare in amazement at the battle between Wayne Stewell and Glen Vaughan in front of him.

He had previously overestimated Wayne Stewell's strength, but now he found that he seemed to have underestimated it. Compared with the amazing sense of oppression, the most despairing thing about this man was that he seemed to be able to predict every attack of his opponent and play with his opponent in the palm of his hand.

For example, now, when he saw Wayne Stewell, he seemed to have foreseen Gran Vaughan's reaction, and the not-so-close distance between them disappeared in an instant. Unlike before, this time he teleported directly through Gran Vaughan's body and jumped behind him. Then he raised his right hand and pressed the black muzzle of the gun against the back of the other's head.

In that right hand, the ebony muzzle engraved with piano keys and the signature of Ebony & Ivory shot out flames, and a bullet that looked like it had a lot of light and shadow effects shot out from the muzzle and pierced through the back of the opponent's head. In an instant, a bloody hole appeared on the opponent's head, but unexpectedly, he still did not suffer fatal injuries, but his health dropped to 47%.

Glen Vaughn still turned his head stubbornly and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Ning, wanting to continue casting the spell. A milky white arcane light was emitted from his wand.

Seeing this, Zhou Ning did not stop, but continued to shoot at Gran Vaughan one after another, with bullets flying in one after another.

As a boss-level spellcaster, Gran Vaughn had more than 6000 HP. After being shot seven times in a row, the eighth bullet finally completely blew Gran Vaughn's head apart. The opponent's breath began to dissipate rapidly, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

[You killed the Ghost Mage Gran Vaughn (lv65), and you gained 48000 experience points.]

[Kill or defeat 10 boss-level creatures above level 60: 3/10]

At this time, several players just came back from the zombie run and happened to see the final battle process. They looked at Zhou Ning with admiration.

Zhou Ning sighed, and without delay, he turned over the corpse and picked up Gran Vaughn's staff. He was lucky; it was an unknown artifact that could be auctioned or disassembled for materials. Furthermore, Gran Vaughn had left behind a dark crystal after his death, which could also be used to craft some kind of extraordinary item.

"Thank you, you saved us again." At this time, Richie Burke limped over and said, glancing at the materials in Zhou Ning's hand, he forced a fearful smile and said, "I know a craftsman who can make extraordinary items. He's currently in Dockland. He has good skills. If you need it, you can ask him to do it for you. The price is absolutely fair. He made my ring."

"Yeah." Zhou Ning nodded silently. His original intention was to go back to Dockland and ask the Japanese guards if there were any suitable craftsmen. Since Rich Burke knew one, he could save the effort. As for the price, it shouldn't be a problem.

He then cast his gaze towards the altar. After a closer look, he discovered a gate similar to an Arc de Triomphe, with the statue located in front of it. Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment before stepping over.
