The morning sunlight was already unsettling for the Blood Corpse, and coupled with the wounds covering his entire body, Luoli Adelaide was now barely breathing.
But as the cross flew over the outskirts of Valhalla, the players and NPCs passing below clearly didn't care much.
The fact that the life and death of the Blood Corpse on them were of no concern to them was the very act itself that truly shocked them—it was an art form.
Exclamations of "Holy crap!" echoed throughout the forum, interspersed with heartfelt expressions of "amazing crab" from overseas players.
Amidst the mingling of various languages, the number of followers behind the cross is growing.
Most players with free time wanted to come and see what was going on, since they'd never seen a flying wreck like that in real life, let alone in a game.
On the other hand, due to word-of-mouth among players, more and more players began to flock to the region.
Seeing the increasing number of people nearby, Soaring Clouds, who had gotten the advertising package for free, was overjoyed and immediately had several of his subordinates start promoting his studio's gold farming and power leveling services.
In this World of Disorder, players can only log in to their own accounts, so the game's boosting services are essentially just a transaction involving a small amount of in-game currency plus a considerable amount of out-of-game currency.
Within just a few minutes, Soaring Sky Studio received seven or eight new orders.
The reason is simple: a studio capable of capturing a living vampire count must be quite capable, at least in terms of raw power.
Led by the Soldier Bee, Cross led a large group of people to a location near Valhalla.
Because of a prior agreement, Luoli, who was not yet fully bound, could not directly enter the core city.
This city has a lot of innocent NPCs. If this count, who is about to die, were to lose his mind and shout "Long live Lord Adelaide!" and then go berserk with everyone, the consequences would be dire.
While it's unknown whether the Adelaide Lineage possesses similar Flesh Domain abilities, players have always been wary of them, given their ruthless actions in retaliating against Fir City.
Therefore, [ Soaring Clouds ] had already made preparations, and this house in the suburbs was the place he had chosen to stay long ago.
As for the true owner of this little cabin, it's none other than [ Do Some Farm Work ], who frequently goes out to make his presence known, yet occasionally pretends to be some kind of reclusive master.
The Soldier Bee slowly descended, and the players planted the cross into the ground. Luoli Raleigh was exposed to the sunlight. Some players suggested putting a crown of thorns made from Blood-Drinking Thornbush on him, but they gave up because it might kill him.
Near the cabin, [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] looked up at [ Soaring Clouds ] in mid-air:
"Do you still need Bennett? If not, I'll send her back to Gray."
[ Soaring Clouds ] glanced sideways at the game's built-in time display function, then quickly waved his hand:
"Don't rush to return it. The loan agreement I signed states a 72-hour period; returning it now would be a waste of time."
Upon hearing this, [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] began to slowly lower the Soldier Bee, while asking with some confusion:
"Everything's done, and you have an earl to use, so what use is Bennett?"
Upon hearing this, Soaring Clouds Xiao revealed a somewhat terrifying, wicked smile:
"Dude, did you play by yourself when you first started playing?"
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] shook his head repeatedly:
"How could that be? Wasn't there a mentorship program where experienced players guide newbies? I remember the veteran who took me hunting was..."
At this point, he suddenly gasped and looked at [ Soaring Clouds ], who made no attempt to hide his smile:
"You're going to... mentor a newbie?"
"That's right."
[ Soaring Clouds ] clapped his hands in front of him:
" Luoli is new and doesn't know the rules. The remaining time is perfect for Bennett to teach him a thing or two, and show him what he can and can't say, and what he can and can't do."
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] seemed to be pondering this:
"You're right, buddy. I didn't think things through. I thought that as long as we caught the Blood Corpse, we would have accomplished our mission. I didn't expect there to be a trial period and training."
"Then remember to return Bennett to Gray. If there's nothing else I need to do here, I'll go return the shared Soldier Bee."
Okay, I'll transfer the remaining balance to you later.
After the two finished their discussion, [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] also completed its landing.
He took a signal flare out of his pocket, broke it in half, placed it in front of the Soldier Bee, and then affectionately patted the Soldier Bee on the head.
The pheromones unique to their species quickly made the Soldier Bee understand something. This creature, about the size of a minivan, realized that its mission was over, so it spread its wings on the spot and then flew south with a "buzzing" sound.
"Shared Soldier Bee " is a newly added feature in the World of Disorder, allowing players to rent these large insects that are fast-flying, have a high carrying capacity, and possess a certain level of combat capability as their mounts.
However, since Soldier Bee also need to replenish their nutrition, renting shared Soldier Bee can currently only be done in towns near the Verdant Corridor, and there are also certain requirements regarding the player's Animal Compatibility.
With the final payment received, a satisfied [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] planned to have a drink at the Mortgage Tavern, while [ Do Some Farm Work ], who had been feeling the noise outside, finally opened the door.
The wooden door opened, revealing a Do Some Farm Work crowd and a huge cross bearing the image of a victim.
He opened his mouth as if to speak, but only moved his lips before quickly closing the door.
I must have opened it wrong—did I see Brother Jesus?!
After a moment of inner peace, [ Do Some Farm Work ] opened the door again and found the cross still there. Looking at [ Soaring Clouds ] walking towards him, he inexplicably made the sign of the cross on his chest.
After some explanation, [ Do Some Farm Work ] realized that the thing hanging on the cross was the vampire count that the players had captured alive.
He looked at Bennett in the wheelchair, then at Luoli on the cross, and suddenly gained an incredibly clear understanding of the Second Holy See's growing power.
As one of the earliest players, [ Do Some Farm Work ] sometimes recalls the scene of everyone being chased by a Rat King.
If it weren't for the " Little Boy " and "fat man" who were airdropped into Fir City as a contrast, he wouldn't even have known that it was just a small Rat King.
Judging from the Second Holy See's performance at that time, a dozen or so Blood Corpse should have been enough to wipe them out.
But now that the two vampire counts have surrendered and are at the mercy of the players, he can't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Pulling himself out of his reverie, [ Do Some Farm Work ] looked confidently at his companion and said:
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
