"Of course I understand." Zhou Ning responded with a smile.

This limitation is obvious. Essentially, laws are derived from the power of justice and order. Most of the laws used by the Church of the God of War originated from the God of War himself, or were formulated by the saints of the Church of the God of War throughout the ages. These laws have been approved by the gods and recognized by the people, and can receive additional blessings. Therefore, they can be used against stronger ones.

It is obvious that such preferential treatment is not possible for a custom-made law like mine.

Meredith nodded imperceptibly, flipped his palm, and pulled out a bronze book from somewhere. He tore out a page from it, pressed the tip of his index finger against the page, and silently read:

"By my will, magic is forbidden here."

In full view of everyone, golden runes rose into the air, lighting up the dark sky. Then the golden light poured into the paper like a viscous liquid, as if a miniature golden sun sank into it, constantly moving on the paper, forming symbolic symbols and mysterious patterns.

"Alright." Meredith brushed off the golden dust on his hands, shook the bronze paper with his hands to straighten it, and at the same time dispersed the burning golden runes on it, handed it to Zhou Ning, and said in a deep voice:

"You need to hold it in your hand when using it. The carrier of the law is the sentence I just recited - by my will, the casting of magic is prohibited here."

"Remember, this decree cannot be used against an object whose rank is significantly higher than yours, otherwise you will likely suffer backlash."

"I understand. Thank you for your generosity." Zhou Ning nodded, carefully folded the paper and put it into the inventory.

At this time, the clock hand had pointed to 7:30. According to the previous plan, all the professionals of the Church of the God of War whose strength had not reached the top level of the super class would stay in the camp to guard the pirate captives, while the others would enter the Bast Forest together to explore.

"There is no problem for now. The Bast phenomenon will continue in the next few days, but the weather index near the forest entrance is still mild. Extreme weather should rarely occur." Professor Scott said, holding a metal bar and a piece of paper filled with weather index.

"Then let's get ready to set off. Pack up the supplies as soon as possible and carry all the combat items to make sure nothing is left behind. The clothes and luggage will be left in the camp for the time being." said Patriarch Roger.

"Yes! Patriarch Roger!" All the professionals of the Church of War present answered in unison.

Since he didn't bring any luggage and the combat supplies were placed in the inventory, Zhou Ning didn't go back to sort them out. Instead, he pressed down the hat on his head, leaned against a pillar beside him, and waited silently.

According to Meredith, the blocking of the little book will only last for 6 hours, or even less than 6 hours, so every minute and every second cannot be wasted.

Meanwhile, Meredith stood silently by. The other person was a complete sociopath. Zhou Ning also found it difficult to find a topic to talk about with such a powerful angel walking among the human world. He couldn't just follow XB and ask if he'd eaten or if he needed paper. For a moment, they stared at each other, and the situation became awkward.

Before they knew it, more and more players were gathering, many of them fresh from the beach. At some point, the third and fourth groups of players, who had left later, also arrived to join the "team building," making the place more like a player city than a camp. Many players were curiously eyeing Meredith, the lone angel in the player group. This made her expression increasingly unnatural, and her big toe dug a small dent in the ground.

After a while, when the hands were approaching 8 o'clock, Zhou Ning finally spoke:

"It's almost time, please take action."

"Okay." Meredith was silent for a few seconds, then raised her voice:

"Roger, Smith, Elsa, come to me."

Without waiting for others to respond, the angel took the initiative to explain:

"Blocking you alone won't do anything. That miraculous item can change its target and detect your movements by sensing the people around you. Unless you act alone."

Zhou Ning restrained his smile and nodded seriously:

"Indeed. I've had similar thoughts before and considered whether to act alone."

After expressing his opinion, he asked curiously:

"Your Majesty Meredith, do you have a way to block the perception of several people at the same time?"

"Everyone within a range." Meredith glanced at him and said lightly, "But in fact, we don't need that much. These chosen ones don't have any destiny themselves, and even miracle items can't sense it. As for the others, we only need to block a few people who know about it."

When Roger and the others gathered around him, Meredith did not wait for others to ask questions. Instead, he radiated his spirituality and a huge scale appeared in front of him. It was a silver-white scale with a large number of complex and mysterious patterns. There were different, mysterious, and symmetrical symbols on both ends of the scale.

Immediately afterwards, a huge illusory platform emerged. Every inch of the platform's floor was covered with marks of wisteria flowers and thorns. The marks became denser as one went higher, similar to the scene of Zhou Ning and Valentine's previous duel. The only difference was that this time, the figures that appeared on the platform were so illusory that they were almost invisible.

Then, the platform vaguely enclosed Zhou Ning and everyone around him, and then quietly disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared.

At this moment, Zhou Ning's inspiration struck him, and he realized his current state was quite unique. He was both on that illusory platform, in a dark, yet also here. A new "Order Judgment" status appeared in his status bar. Meredith seemed to be shielding them all with her own Order Domain.

"Alright," Meredith said calmly, "This hidden state will last four to six hours. I can't guarantee it will last any longer than that."

The others present now understood Meredith's intention and nodded.

When the clock finally hit 8 a.m., Patriarch Roger didn't emphasize anything further. Instead, he punched his shoulders with his fists, put his feet together, and said, "Fight hard, my lords! The God of War is watching us."

"Hail to the God of War!" Including Smith Hall and Elsa, the professionals of the Church of the God of War also hit their shoulders on both sides with their fists and shouted in unison.

……

After passing the camp gate and crossing a turbulent river, the deep Bast Forest is ahead.

At this moment, the Bast phenomenon's tidal surge showed signs of increasing in intensity. Just at the starting point, nature displayed its wondrous handiwork. Where everyone was standing was gloomy and rainless, but three steps ahead, a thunderstorm erupted. Further ahead, the area was swamped by a thick, almost tangible darkness. Beyond seven meters, nothing could be seen. It was unknown how the players had managed to complete their exploration last night.

In the sky, there are different weather conditions in different areas. From far to near, there are thunderclouds, lenticular clouds, cirrus clouds, rain clouds, noctilucent clouds, and funnel clouds representing tornadoes, etc. It is a bit difficult to see farther away. You can only see cloud shadows like giant dragons dancing in the sky. It seems that the weather is definitely very severe.

Everyone present was inexplicably frightened and their pace slowed down a little involuntarily, and they all opened the umbrellas they had prepared in advance.

Zhou Ning reached his hand into the void, grabbed something, and pulled out an umbrella. He opened it with a snap and walked in front.

When exploring the Bast phenomenon, one must not be impatient. Professor Scott and others followed Zhou Ning closely.

It was now even darker inside the Bast Forest than outside. Smith Hall took a breath and a lantern appeared in his hand from nowhere, illuminating the darkness around him.
