I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 401 402

According to the arranged script, Joshua was granted 'reasonable mercy' by his son and fell into a coma. Then, a Nightingale from the expedition army was assigned to guard the place.

In fact, this was not just the mercy of Lucius, but part of it was also to appease the others to a certain extent.

Imagine that your teammate, whom you risked your life to protect during a crisis, suddenly puts a knife to your throat. Now their leader is in your hands, wouldn't it be satisfying to stab them in revenge?

However, if your leader releases them to win over people's hearts, even though you may not say anything, the resentment in your heart is still burning as strong as ever.

Such resentment is often a prelude to unrest... Naturally, Lucius would not make such a mistake.

After this necessary play was performed, the Dark Elves who were originally loyal to her became even more devoted to her, their fanaticism in their eyes comparable to that of the zealots of the Inquisition.

At the very least, it was killing three birds with one stone.

Thus,the party left Joshua behind and set off in the opposite direction of the main force, Ravesland.

Specifically, it was the ruins of Ravesland.

Naturally, this was Char's decision, as most of the Dark Elves present did not have independent thinking abilities and were merely just Lucius' lackeys. As for Lucius...

Ever since she made that decision, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She was proud and dignified, but whenever she glanced at Char, there was a hint of coldness and an indescribable meaning in her eyes.

It was like hatred, but it was not as twisted.

It was like jealousy, but Char's authority and attitude towards Evelyn did not warrant such behavior.

It was likely alienation.

She deliberately distanced herself from Char.

That was just how it is.

— Actually, this was good too.

Char felt somewhat fortunate. He did not want things to complicate any further.

The experience this time was much more exciting than before, and it was also filled with all kinds of incomprehensible things.

He needed a brief break to deal with the things at hand - the props and equipment were secondary. The most important thing was the intelligence, followed closely by an almost completely disrupted timeline.

He had obtained a Second Era's Pseudo Divine Space, the same thing used by the high-ranking members of the Truth Church to store wartime materials that were connected to tens of thousands of mechanics near the end of the war.

Strangely enough, the authorization to manipulate this thing was all on him, just like the Pseudo Divine Space...

By right, a player's authority, or the things registered under his name, would be listed one by one under the character panel. For example-under Char's current identity, there were a series of properties - the mobile base modified from the MCV in Philin Town, the properties in various major cities of Elves, and the mansion he obtained under the position of "Governor" in Grimland etc.

However, this strange space was not listed under his character panel.

This behavior persisted even when Char retrieved said space...

Instead, it had established a connection with his "Blue Moon space," becoming the latter's vassal space.

Moreover, Char was also no longer able to hide within the hidden space like he first killed the Supreme Holy Spirit. Worse still, it could not even function like an inventory. It was as if the higher-level permissions had been locked away, leaving him with only the qualification to use "inherent resources".

So... What is this?

Does it belong to me or not?

Although he was still puzzled, now that it had entered his possession, he would not let it go. It was a real windfall, after all.

Char scanned through the resources, and its contents were seemingly endless, just like the ocean...

Even if he were to use "inferior technology" that would not even meet the standards of a kindergarten in the Second Era to use the resources stored within, there would still be plenty to go around to completely rebuild Ravesland and expand it even further based on the blueprints written by Mr. Author.

Of course, this was somewhat difficult to achieve due to other factors...

This was because Mr. Author was obviously a player of Society P, and his supplies were all stored in the fourth dimensional chrysanthemum, which can be accessed at any time. In other words, the b*stard did not design enough warehouses for the new city.

This means that these resources either have to be stored openly or they have to spend a third of their energy building a large integrated warehouse to store these resources from the Second Era.

Otherwise, Char would be forced to become a Transport Captain or Foreman who would need to work all day, transporting materials to various construction sites in Ravesland until construction was finally completed.

Obviously, this was impossible, and thus, a long-term plan is needed.

Apart from that, his biggest gain was the near-complete Silver Oak Sword.

[ Silver Oak Sword (Magic Sword) ]

[ Ancient Legendary Weapon ]

[ Requires Strength 5, Agility 7, Intelligence 5 (choose two out of three) ]

[ Attack power =3.75*AD+3.5*AP, Strength +25, Intelligence +25 ]

[ Wind King's Realm (Completed): Able to hide and change appearance. ]

[ Eternal Authority (Completed): Able to absorb eternal mist within a 25-meter radius around the holder and convert it into non-HP value combat resources for the holder. ]

[ Silver Oak leaf (Completed): In a 1v1 battle, the defensive attributes (dodge, defense, parry, block, damage immunity, etc.) possessed by the target of this sword are reduced to the same level as the holder, and the attack of the user is guaranteed to penetrate the target's defense. ]

[ Sword-Sealing Engravement (Completed): When in contact with a sword-type weapon, all special effects will be ignored. The wielder of the sword will have a 25% chance of Seeing Through all sword techniques. ]

[ See Through: Receive only 50% of the attack's damage, and ignore any special effects of the sword technique. ]

[ Blood of the Final King (Completed): Use the blood of the royal family as a catalyst to launch an attack that can only be countered by the target and is unaffected by anyone else. Cooldown: 3 natural days. ]

The attribute requirements had been reduced from slightly harsh three-digit numbers to single-digit numbers making it such that even a child could wield it. It was as if the threshold had been deliberately lowered so that the wielder could use it in all sorts of situations, such as when their attributes were lowered.

On the other hand, the stat buffs were extremely exaggerated. The weapon itself provided almost three times the damage, and the added attributes was equivalent to a stat gain of several levels.

It could be said that the sword in front of us is already perfect in terms of "equipment attributes" and is a rare and terrifying weapon.

On top of that, the other attributes were even more exaggerated.

The previously simple 'blessings' had been replaced by their real names.

When it was still the "Fire of Origin", it needed three more things to reach its complete form. Among which was a leaf from a Silver Oak, and another was the recognition of the sword-sealing maid of the ancient sealed demon city. Most of the buffs that the sword currently possessed was due to her.

The former was stored in Imra's own mini dimension, and since the large Pseudo Divine Space had now belong to Char, the former object had also become part of his collection.

As for the latter, there was no need to say much. Anu's recognition was something as simple of hearing a single sentence. However, this time, she used another method to replace it. One of the two things that Char did before leaving the Pseudo Divine Space was this.

In addition, the acknowledgment of Anu also came with a temporary effect, the next sword technique that Char launches will receive a triple boost.

...This was also the origin of the Ultimate Moon Shadow Slash.

After these two stages were completed, the Silver Oak Sword's Silver Oak Leaf's special effect was completed, and at the same time, it had also obtained a new effect, the Sword-sealing Engravement.

As for the "Blood of the Final King" that helped him kill Old Maimon, it was a brand new effect that he had never experienced before.

It seemed to be related to his mysterious Pseudo Divine Space, and due to its murky origins, Char refused to spare any more brainpower on figuring it out.

At this point, if Char were to make his way to the oldest human country, Arendelle, and performed a ritual-filled sharpening, the Silver Oak Sword become a bug-grade tool that operated beyond the rules of the game.

In other words, before the ritual, it would still be an ordinary piece of game equipment.

After the ritual, it would become an administrator-level cheating device.

Admittedly, Char had considered that meeting his old companion would not be a simple matter, but this time it went smoothly to the point of being a little too easy...

However, on second thought, he realized that the enemies he had faced and the missions he had gone through during this period were all unprecedented, so he was relieved.

Moreover, he was looking forward to what would happen next.

After all, it was also an unprecedented new plot.

...

Five hours later, the lights of Ravesland gradually came into everyone's view, and the group of wounded and fatigued soldiers could not help but become excited.

However, looking at the entrance from afar, Char could not help but notice that the number of people welcoming his return was a little excessive.

In addition to the troublesome women mentioned before, there was also a familiar face...

"Who's that Elf?"

Lucius asked from a distance.

She already had a faint answer in her heart.

So much so that her breathing became irregular.

Char gave her a deep look.

"You should know."
