Chapter 0009 Dilemma
Who is Ben?
Who is Cyric?
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know at all.
In his eyes, the gods are just broken things made of wood and clay, and they are a cover used by tourist attractions to defraud money. Whoever believes it will shǎ bī!
Even though he knows that there really are gods in this world of swords and magic, he still refuses to admit their existence - gods, they are just more powerful monsters. Is there any difference between being ten times more powerful than me and ten thousand times more powerful? Anyway,
I can't even beat him.
As for the guy talking nonsense in front of me, he is probably a lunatic.
The victim was muttering the name 'Cyric', and Zhou Qingfeng had lost interest in this guy. He turned around to find Todd and entered the village meeting hall.
In order to strengthen its defense, White Crow Village occupies a small area. Many buildings have become multi-purpose. The meeting hall is actually more like a pleasure tavern. There is a crude and huge round table in the middle, and a group of men sit around the round table.
Drink heavily and discuss loudly.
The Black Forest is bitterly cold and does not produce food. Alcohol needs to be transported from the outside and is very expensive. But precisely because of the bitter cold, the adventurers who make a living here are all good at drinking. They like to take a few sips when they have nothing to do.
má zuìhimself.
After all, life here is too miserable.
Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the door of the meeting hall and was stung by the strong smell of alcohol inside.
Todd was sitting at a round table, holding a big wooden cup, slamming the table and pouring wine. The other adventurers in the village were noisy, and they didn't know what they were arguing about. They could only hear the loud curses, as if they might start a fight at any time.
Above the round table, the pale-faced Lukans looked impatient at the quarrel and shouted: "That's enough, no matter how much we argue, it's pointless.
Just follow my plan, I have to figure out what those Ben followers want to do? I don’t want to regret it after being killed by the demons they summoned."
Lucans is the boss of the village. After he made a decision, he no longer objected even if some people didn't agree with it. After all, the terror of Ben's followers is well known, and we must not let down our guard.
"What happened?" Zhou Qingfeng came in close to the corner. No one explained to him from the beginning to the end. He wanted to go to Todd to ask, but the barbarian was drinking wine at the round table, and he didn't seem to drink.
If you have enough, you won't give up.
This question was uttered in a low voice, and a voice from the same corner asked: "Boy, where did you come from?"
When Zhou Qingfeng turned around, he saw a looming human silhouette in the shadow of the corner.
‘Shadows hiding’.
He is also a thief.
The opponent was obviously of a higher level than Zhou Qingfeng. He was holding a cup of slightly steamy hot drink. He was wearing a leather jacket and a hood that covered his head and face. His face was completely unclear. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, it would have been difficult for outsiders to spot him.
"I'm here with Todd." Zhou Qingfeng replied.
"Todd?" The man in the shadow glanced at the barbarians at the round table, "When did Todd make a friend as a thief? But he looks down on us who walk in the dark the most."
Haha..., Zhou Qingfeng laughed twice, changed the subject and asked: "I just heard someone talking about the 'resurrection of the evil god'. What happened in the village? There are also guys hanging and being whipped outside.
He keeps calling 'Bane', who is Bane?"
The man in the shadow was even more surprised. He asked again, "Boy, you don't even know who Ben is?"
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head.
The other party looked at him carefully.
"Forget it, at least the god of war cannot have an ignorant believer like you." The man in the shadow sighed and explained a few words, "The black forest is very dangerous, and there is only one road that can contact the outside world called 'Goblin'
Plank Road' road.
This road has always been controlled by a goblin tribe called Magru. But just yesterday, the goblins blocked the plank road. If this road is impassable, more than a dozen human villages in the entire Black Forest will not receive supplies. Two thousand
Many people will starve to death.
Road closures are bad, but there are worse ones.
Old Xius from Stupid Village sent a messenger to Lucans, saying that he wanted to discuss how to deal with the current situation. But last night, Lucans discovered that the messenger was a believer of the evil god Bane.
So things got complicated, and God knows if there are other conspiracies hidden in it?"
The man in the shadow shrugged, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, finishing the explanation.
Zhou Qingfeng seemed to understand what he heard, "You mean it's probably the followers of the evil god who planned all of this, with the purpose of killing more than a dozen human villages in the black forest?"
"Who knows?" The person in the shadow sneered, "Bane is the god of violence. He prefers slavery, oppression, and destruction. Maybe the mastermind behind this wants to turn us all into slaves.
Some people want to take advantage of the fact that there are still supplies in the village, raid the "Goblin Plank Road" in one go, and escape from the Black Forest. But Lukans is reluctant to part with his family business. He hopes to send people to contact other human villages to find out the situation. If he wants to escape, everyone should join together.
escape.
What’s even more troublesome is that the old Xius from the Gray Mud Village may have betrayed him. So how many people in other villages are trustworthy? In fact, I don’t think they are trustworthy.”
The person in the shadow kept speaking sarcastically, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Zhou Qingfeng has never suffered before. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so he doesn't know what to be afraid of. Without thinking too much, he asked again: "You just said that Ben is the god of war, so is there any god named Xi?"
Rick’s?”
"How can you call my Lord 'Dark Sun' by his name?" The man in the shadow suddenly spoke coldly, "You are also a thief, don't you believe in the God of Murder?"
What..., the god of murder?
Zhou Qingfeng was confused and was stunned for a moment.
This God of Murder doesn't sound like a good thing, I'm afraid he's an evil god like Bane.
The man in the shadow slowly left the corner and approached Zhou Qingfeng. Under his hood was a young face, a man in his twenties, with a thin build. He seemed to want to ask a few questions, but suddenly there was someone outside the meeting hall.
Barging in and shouting...
"The follower of Bane is dead."
The meeting hall was originally noisy, but when everyone heard this sentence, they immediately fell silent.
The forest guard Lukans was assigning tasks and arranging people to investigate several other villages. When he heard this, he stood up suddenly and rushed out of the meeting hall.
There were about a dozen people crowded around the big round table, and they all followed Lukans out. Even the person in the shadow left like a gust of wind, no longer embarrassing Zhou Qingfeng.
For a moment, only Zhou Qingfeng, who was still in a daze, and... Todd, who was almost drunk.
The savage had not drunk for two days, and it was killing him. He wished he could soak in a barrel of wine.
Zhou Qingfeng ran to Todd in small steps, pushed him a few times, and asked: "Brother, it seems like you are in big trouble now. How can you still drink so much? Do you want to be put in a cage by the goblin again?"
At the mention of 'goblin' and 'cage', Todd immediately sobered up. He pounded the table hard and cursed loudly: "Damn old Hughes, he actually dared to seek refuge with the evil god Bane and sold me to the goblin. I
Can't spare him.
Let's go, let's go find trouble with old Xius now."
After saying that, the burly Todd didn't care whether Zhou Qingfeng agreed or not. He picked up Zhou Qingfeng, who was more than two meters tall, grabbed the latter and walked out. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't protest and was taken to the meeting hall again.
outside.
Not far outside the meeting hall is the torture rack.
A group of people, including Lucans, were surrounding the victim hanging on the torture rack. Someone inside was heard shouting in horror: "Strange, this guy is not only dead, but his soul has completely disappeared."
This is completely unreasonable. We..., we may really be targeted by evil gods."
