Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"City of Law" Nathaniel, 2nd Ward.

A magnificent spire church stands at the innermost part of the Law Square, covering a vast area.

Its walls are covered with various legal provisions written in golden and mysterious characters. Unlike other places where only one legal provision can be effective in a region, in this area, not only can legislation be passed through the code, but all kinds of legal provisions can be effective. As a result, this place is also called the center of law and is sacred and inviolable.

This is the Church of Courage, the headquarters of the Church of the God of War in the Kingdom of Sifarik. It is also the second largest church of the Church of the God of War after the Temple.

Smith Hall got off the carriage, hurried into the Church of Courage, and pushed open a door at the back of the mass hall.

Then he went down the stairs to the basement of the church, knocked on the door and entered a secret room.

Although it was past three in the morning, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white priest robe, was still sitting inside. Nearby sat the deacons and captains of the War God Church's professional team "Wings of Law". This old man was a member of the Holy Council, Archbishop Nathaniel Edward Plan, and was a powerful figure of almost the same period as the Patriarch of the Church of Poseidon, the God-favored One Edin.

Seeing Smith Hall enter, Edward raised his head and looked at him and asked gently:

"Is there something wrong with the investigation?"

Smith Hall lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, something did happen. After a detailed investigation and with the help of the True Rune, we have confirmed that this incident is indeed related to the legendary Wayne Stewell. However, he is not against us. On the contrary, there is evidence that he has conflicts with the Wolf Worship Cult and the rebels behind it."

"According to his description, the cause of this disaster was the Wolf Cult's High Priest, the demigod Negan Hart, who infiltrated the underground ruins with the intention of performing a summoning ritual to summon the Destroyer Wolf to destroy Nathaniel. It's worth noting that we previously commissioned the Adventurer's Association to issue a bounty related to Negan Hart, numbered A205."

In order to avoid being sensed by Gleipnir, Smith Hall carefully avoided using his name.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but he received three commissions from the Adventurer's Guild at the same time: B187, A205, and B403. These were for the bounties on Cotton Benson, Negan Hart, and the strange incident on Bauhinia Road, respectively. The latter mission was recently reported to the church three times by Sean Hall, but it remained unresolved."

"After receiving these three commissions, he keenly sensed a connection between them. Cotton Benson had been contaminated by some sinister force and transformed into a werewolf. Wayne Stewell tracked him to the ruins near Bauhinia Road. This was fully confirmed through the replay of the True Vision Eye."

"Negan Hart was indeed plotting to destroy Nathaniel. But fortunately, Wayne Stewell foiled Negan Hart's plot in time... According to him, he successively killed Negan Hart, the spirit of the Moon Wolf Silas, and the Plague Wolf Ulysses in his divinely descended state."

Smith Hall hesitated a bit when he spoke of this. To be honest, even if the other party had a history of killing gods, such a record was still too shocking.

"Of course, we can't confirm the final results. The entrance to this ruins has been destroyed by the catastrophe caused by the arrival of the World-Destroying Demonic Wolf. Wayne Stewell's purpose in bringing so many Chosen Ones into the ruins is also questionable. I also suspect that the Wolf Worship Cult still has hidden power in Nathaniel, and they may have other intentions."

Edward Plan had been listening quietly without asking any questions, but the deacons and captains around him looked incredulous and asked for details from time to time.

Smith Hall answered all of his questions and recounted in detail some of Zhou Ning's discoveries in the ruins, especially the knocking sound at the bronze door on the right. Finally, he took out the cracked wolf-shaped statue and handed it to Edward Plan.

"According to my speculation, the World-Destroying Demon Wolf is currently in a completely weakened state, unable to even maintain the medium used to communicate with its core believers."

At this time, there were more cracks on the statue, and only some evil feeling remained on it. It had completely lost its spirituality.

Edward carefully looked at the statue over and over again, and was silent for about half a minute. Then he nodded, confirming Smith Hall's statement:

"No problem. The Destroyer Wolf has indeed awakened prematurely and is in a state of deep weakness. Send personnel to the Motley Islands to search for the Destroyer Wolf's location. Focus on searching for places with elven relics or weather and tides."

"Investigate the Wolf Worship Cult and the rebels within the Kingdom of Sifarik. Cooperate with the royal family if necessary."

"As for that underground ruin... the description sounds very much like the kingdom of the elven goddess, but it definitely cannot exist in the material world."

Edward thought for a while and said at a moderate pace:

"Find someone to excavate the underground ruins. As for the bronze gate, do not open it or approach it. Wait for me to open it myself."

District 129, No. Jinlu Avenue.

Zhou Ning sat down in the armchair behind the desk. He activated the lucky burst of [Lucky Clover] as usual, and clicked to receive the reward impatiently.

Considering the difficulty of the mission, he was very confident about the rewards. Of course, the best reward would be to draw a god-level specialty, which would allow him to directly meet the requirements of becoming a demigod.

[Drawing in progress...Drawing completed]

【Please choose one of the following three as a reward. 】

1. Character Skin Set: Time Spirit. Includes the Gothic Dress "Divine Spirit Outfit - Third Edition," a red hairpin, and a black JK uniform. Can be equipped separately.

[2. Active Skill - Wild Shooting: Use incredible abilities to knock down your opponent, step on the fallen enemy, fire a volley of shots, and then kick them away.]

[3. Passive Skill - Shadow Cloak: When attacked, the actual damage you receive is reduced by 20%, and the duration of any control skills on you is reduced by 15%.]

Seeing these three rewards, Zhou Ning's eyes lit up. Forget about the first option, he would not choose it even if it was awesome. The second and third options were both pretty good choices.

The second skill has a forced knockdown effect. Although most of the enemies you encounter now have invincibility and ignore this effect, it is definitely a magical skill for players. There are many skills among players to break the invincibility. After breaking the invincibility with skills that grab or produce forced stiffness judgment, this trick can be used as a control skill. Step on it, shoot it, and then kick it away. Not only does it create distance, but it also has mental pollution.

As for the third option, it was a defensive passive that Zhou Ning really liked, which could greatly improve his weak defense. He had previously had a specialty that reduced his defense, and now it was just the right time to supplement it.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Ning directly chose the [Magic Shadow Cloak]. This was the only one that suited him best, and it also had the most noble and cool percentage bonus, which greatly improved him.

The second option that was drawn turned out to be a good one.

[Drawing in progress...Drawing completed]

【Please choose one of the following three as a reward. 】

[1. Random Instance Crystal*1 - You can randomly create a Instance Crystal from an experience in the simulated world.]

[2. Randomly draw an ability (skill/feat) from the Plague Wolf Ulysses.]

[3. Character Possession Card - Lord of Hueco Mundo, Zhou Ning.]

All three options are excellent options, and they all hit Zhou Ning's preferences, making it really difficult to choose.
