Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Through association and induction, Zhou Ning easily summarized and connected all the clues together, but then he frowned a little.

This was another unprecedented event, and it also hinted at a main storyline quest. He became increasingly certain that this scenario was definitely not simple, completely beyond his current capabilities.

But the only problem was that the key points surrounding this quest were too coincidental. It was a coincidence that I knew Richie Burke, the man involved in the incident. It was a coincidence that I had the treasure map and the lucky clover. And it was just by chance that I came to Nathaniel, found the ruins, explored the place, and only with the information provided by Richie Burke did I recognize Captain Sidney. It was a perfect cycle. It was like fate.

At the same time, a prompt popped up on the panel again:

[You have triggered an S-rank long-term hidden quest: [Explore the real Hume Town]. Do you want to accept it? Yes/No.]

[Mission Summary: You seem to have discovered some hidden secrets in history. Try to explore the real Hume Town and uncover its secrets. After overcoming the dangers, you will receive rich rewards.]

[Task Tips: This is a long-term mission with no time limit. Please make sure you have enough strength to explore.]

[Expiration: None]

[Failure penalty: None]

[Reward: 3260w experience, 1 random reward, the rest is unknown.]

Zhou Ning couldn't help but be surprised. It was the first time he saw an S-level mission!

Zhou Ning never refused such difficult tasks, so he took this one. Compared with the other two tasks of tracking down Archbishop Edward, this one had no deadline and could be left alone. He planned to wait until he completed the ritual of transcending heaven and reached the angel level before considering it.

After determining the direction, Zhou Ning gathered his thoughts and walked towards the altar in front.

The first thing he noticed was the broken statue above the altar. This statue also had no divinity left. Judging from the few remaining details, it should be a statue of the elven goddess.

The inscription in front of the altar was densely engraved with many strange characters, most of which had been damaged and difficult to read. He could only vaguely make out that the town had been abandoned due to divine punishment for some reason. However, he was unsure of the specific content, and perhaps he would have to wait until the reader had reached a higher level to decipher it smoothly.

Zhou Ning's eyes flashed. He found that at the end of the inscription, there was a familiar word engraved. It was written in ancient Faric, full of darkness and despair: Help!

And at the end there seem to be three names engraved.

This time, his reading talent came in handy, and Zhou Ning easily recognized the three names:

"Mercedes."

"Servais."

"Agnes."

The moment he finished reading these three names, Zhou Ning felt a spiritual fluctuation, as if he had established a connection with a mysterious existence.

Almost at the same time, the sound of a door being pushed open could be heard outside the church. Zhou Ning raised his head hastily. A large, bluish-gray shadow had already stood at the church door. Darkness seemed to flow around it. Although he couldn't see its specific appearance, he could still feel that the shadow was staring at him with a crazy and violent gaze.

"Got you……"

Zhou Ning felt like he had fallen into a nightmare. His body froze and he could hardly move. He could only watch as a large number of black lines spread towards him like tentacles.

It was not until he faced the black shadow head-on and started fighting that Zhou Ning saw his level: Skeleton level.

Can't see the level.

Then, the panel finally displayed his data:

Projection of ???

After seeing his attributes, Zhou Ning gave up resistance without hesitation, directly opened the copy interface, and chose to leave the copy.

Zhou Ning didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the familiar layout of his room. The scene just now was too creepy. He was afraid that the unknown existence would track him here through the network. Apart from using his trump card, he couldn't find any way to deal with it.

Three powers, four-digit endurance and spirit, Zhou Ning had no idea how to deal with it.

Considering the +10 level setting for the raid, this boss shouldn't actually be as perverted as he appears, but a glimpse of the whole situation reveals the whole picture. This is someone he can't afford to offend. He can only hope that after his divine power descended upon Archbishop Edward, he will no longer be able to exert his full power.

In addition, the last three names he read out were very familiar to Servais herself, as they were the names of the sun goddess. Agnes was the name of the elf goddess, that is, the goddess of nature and hunting. So who was Mercedes, whose name came before them?

He made up his mind to look up some books on religion.

Vaguely, he had a bold idea. What was known at present was that the Elf Goddess had gone out of control and gone mad. So was it possible that this unknown existence was the Elf Goddess herself, or that the Elf Goddess had left a backup plan to revive herself?

It wasn't impossible. Fortunately, my mission was simply to track him down, and the difficulty and risk involved could be completely passed on to the players. I just had to keep a low profile.

At this time, there was a ding-dong sound of the doorbell outside. The Observation Haki naturally "saw" the appearance of the visitors. They were Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods.

Zhou Ning opened the door, stepped aside to welcome them in, and watched them sit down on the sofa.

Richie Burke looked at the surrounding decorations in amazement, took out a thick stack of Victa from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Ning: "This money was left by the people from the Church of the God of War this afternoon. They took a batch of goods you stored in the warehouse. This is the payment."

Zhou Ning nodded. The credibility of the War God Church was unquestionable. Even though they had lost a powerful man of the Big Daddy level, they still did not forget to complete the deal they had agreed upon before.

Zhou Ning collected the money and then looked at the two of them. "The reason I asked you to come here is the same as before. Xingkong has a new career system that should be very helpful to your combat power. Are you interested in learning it?"

The two exchanged glances, apparently having already prepared themselves mentally before coming. Richie Burke nodded and said, "We're both very interested. But, can I know what profession it is?"

Zhou Ning said calmly, "I call this profession a Jedi Knight. The early stages of the profession are called Force Apprentices, the middle stages are called Jedi Knights, and the later stages are called Jedi Masters. The core of the profession is cultivating the laws of the Force. I will only teach you the laws of cultivating the Force. You will need to explore the details on your own."

To be honest, he was not sure whether his idea would work. In theory, powerful NPCs all had dual main professions. NPCs without dual main professions usually had no future, except for himself of course.
