Yang Qizhou stretched himself hard, drank Coke, and analyzed the current plot.
The journey to the 'Ancient Village' went quite smoothly. Although I was attacked by the twisted 'blasphemous wizard' and went through many fights, I never encountered any real danger.
But that's just an appetizer,
What is really important is to follow the prompts of 'fate' and cross the river with the help of the ancient village.
only,
Judging from the current text, this "ancient village" that has survived the catastrophe of the "Falling Day" and continues to this day seems to have some problems.
"When outsiders step into this land, the 'Lord' will awaken, dawn will break through the darkness, light will once again envelope the earth, and everyone will be saved,"
"Is this what the script is really about?"
"Also, although the patron saint of the 'Ancient Village' has never met the character in the game and has not revealed much relevant information, I always feel that there is something wrong with him."
"unexpected,"
"Yes, the existence of the 'Guardian Saint' is too abrupt."
"In this 'Lost Heaven' where the rules are more twisted, the monsters are more terrifying, and the powers are more bizarre, can there really be gods who can maintain their sanity and protect a village of ordinary people?"
"I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Yang Qizhou took another sip of Coke. Feeling that his agitated heart had calmed down a little, he turned his attention to his mobile phone again.
He believes,
The game characters will also understand the things you think about.
The game continues.
…
"The village chief's residence is not simple, but it is not as luxurious as imagined."
"Under the leadership of the 'village guardian', you come to the front hall and sit on the guest seat. Someone has already poured water and placed it on your right hand."
"Is there a etiquette for pouring water for guests in this world?"
"Your thoughts are divergent, and when you think about the world before the time travel, you feel very emotional for a moment."
"Of course, you have no intention of drinking this glass of water. You have always maintained the most basic vigilance towards the 'ancient village'. The prophecies that have not been cut off for thousands of years and the sudden 'patron saint' all make you feel a sense of violation.
A sense of harmony.”
"Not to mention that there is such a sentence in the prompt of 'destiny'..."
"The village chief may also kill himself."
"While you were thinking, an old man opened the door and walked in."
"The 'village guard' stood up quickly and said:"
"The traveler from a distant world, the savior of the lost kingdom, the man of prophecy, the great destroyer of darkness, who brings the light of redemption to the 'Land of Truth', this is our village chief."
"You were confused by this long prefix. You didn't even have time to look at the village chief, and subconsciously asked... When did I have so many titles?"
"But those are apt titles, aren't they? Travelers from distant worlds."
"A kindly voice came. The person speaking was not the village guard, but the village chief who had just come in. He sat next to you. He looked very calm, but there was still excitement deep in his eyes."
"Broad forehead, big nose, white skin, less wrinkles, but not without, and wearing a white divine robe, this image is really deceptive."
"You look at it secretly. You don't want to waste time in the ancient village, so you immediately explain your purpose..."
"Mr. Village Chief, the savior of the Lost Kingdom, the Man of Language, and the Light of Redemption, these are still too far away for me at the moment. Now I just want to cross the 'River of Death', and I beg you for your help."
"Of course, helping the Savior lead to the throne of God is the duty of the ancient village. It is also the reason why we are protected by the 'Guardian Saint' and continue to this day."
"The process went quite smoothly, and the village chief agreed happily."
"You were not excited about this, but instead frowned, keenly seeing the information revealed in these words?"
"Village chief, I would like to ask, is it because of the 'prophecy' that the patron saint protects the ancient village?"
"After all, you still couldn't hold back the doubts in your heart."
"The village chief's kind face stiffened for a moment, then recovered quickly. He first asked the village guard to leave, and then said with a fanatical expression..."
"Of course, this salvation prophecy is handed down from the 'Guardian Saint'. He said that one day, outsiders will set foot on this land. He is hope, light and savior. He will come to the ancient village.
Seek help, and before the prophesied day arrives, the ancient village cannot be destroyed by any weird terror."
"You analyzed this description and found no problems, so you asked... What kind of god is He, and what is the corresponding complete name?"
"The 'Guardian Saint' is the 'Guardian Saint', no matter what."
"The village chief looked like he was taking it for granted."
"You can see that this is not just perfunctory by the village chief. In his eyes, the 'Guardian Saint' is the 'Guardian Saint'. He has never had a clear understanding of this god who protects the ancient village."
"Did you ignore it?"
"It's still the result of the guidance of the 'Guardian Saint'."
"Because it's just a guess without any basis, and it's impossible to make a conclusion for the time being, you put this matter aside first and asked the most important thing..."
"Village chief, how should I cross the river?"
"The village chief had obviously expected this, and replied with a smile... Of course you have to use a 'boat' to cross the river. It just so happens that there is a wooden boat parked on the mountain behind the village, and the savior can use it directly."
"You can't believe it...Is it that simple?"
"Village Chief Fei explained... Is it still difficult to cross the river?"
"After a pause, the village chief continued...Every month, people in the village take this wooden boat to hunt on the other side of the river. It has been going on for thousands of years, so there must be no problem."
…
Is it really that easy? Yang Qizhou lit a cigarette and frowned.
That is the river of death, the embodiment of the world of death in reality, which is a great terror in itself. In his opinion, the method of crossing the river must be very complicated, requiring designated rituals, the support of the 'Guardian Saint', and the experience
Many dangers.
Can you get there by boat?
If it's really that simple, then does 'destiny' need to give special reminders?
"Whether it is true or not, we will know soon."
At this time, the text was being refreshed automatically, and Yang Qizhou immediately returned his attention to the phone.
…
"Of course you don't believe it in your heart. The method of crossing the river can be so simple and easy. But the village chief acted very determined and would not change his mind again, so you didn't bother with it."
"You originally planned to cross the river as soon as possible, but the village chief is very enthusiastic and insists on keeping you overnight to prepare a grand banquet to celebrate the Savior's arrival in the ancient village. You can leave tomorrow morning."
"Because you couldn't find the 'wooden boat' without the guidance of the village chief, and because of your gratitude, you finally agreed."
"certainly,"
"There is another more important reason for staying. You want to find out the true identity of the 'Guardian Saint' and whether it is feasible to cross the river by boat."
"Night is coming,"
"The horrors in the dark night came as expected, and were more intense than in the old days. But under the light of the bonfire, all these weird and terrifying things receded."
"The village chief did not break his promise,"
"The ancient village has held a grand banquet to welcome you, the savior, and everyone is rejoicing, looking forward to the light shining on the land of truth again."
"Although you are the protagonist of the feast and you also like the excitement, you are hiding in the shadows at the moment, just like an audience watching a play."
"In order not to be disturbed, you also used the power of the 'Soul Dragon' to hypnotize everyone to a certain extent."
"Gradually,"
"The bonfire is getting darker and darker, and you are getting sleepier and sleepier, until a familiar voice comes to your ears... My Lord, you finally appeared. I have waited too long for this day."
"You opened your eyes suddenly."
"The bonfire is still burning, but the firelight has turned into a dark light green at some point. The villagers in the ancient village who were singing and laughing have also changed their appearance. Their flesh and blood are broken, and their bones are rotten. They are actually the dead."
"Look to the sky again,"
"The turbid river water flows in the sky, rolling endlessly. Through the river surface, you can vaguely see an ancient village that has long been reduced to ruins."
"You understand everything immediately."
"The ancient village did not last for thousands of years at all. Perhaps it was destroyed as early as the 'Day of Fall' at the end of the Third Era. The souls of all the villagers fell into the river of death. It was only because of the intervention of the 'Guardian Saint' that they thought
I’m still alive.”
…
Looking at the content in the text, Yang Qizhou suddenly understood a lot.
No wonder the ancient village was peeped by malicious eyes in the dark, but was never violated. No wonder the villagers were able to cross the river of death with only a wooden boat, because they were not living people at all, but the real dead.
"The villagers obviously don't know this. When the Savior appears, the excitement, the joy, and the expectation for the light cannot be faked."
"However, the village chief should know the truth."
Muttering in his mouth, Yang Qizhou flipped through the text and quickly found a line of text that read, 'The village chief's kind face stiffened for a moment, then recovered quickly.'
"So, the last line of text in the 'Destiny' prompt is not meant to add drama. For some reason, the village chief wants to kill the game character."
at this time,
The text automatically refreshed line by line, and Yang Qizhou quickly focused on it.
…
"If you think deeply, you will immediately understand that the 'village chief' knows the truth, and that the villagers were deceived and did not know that they were dead."
"You thought about the 'Savior' prophecy again, and thought about the hope for light and desire for salvation that the villagers in the ancient village had when they saw you, and you judged that it was not a lie."
"besides,"
"The village chief's warm invitation to stay is definitely not true hospitality. He must have sinister intentions, and it is most likely for this moment. Then he will reveal his true colors next."
"Thinking like this in your heart, you raised your head and stared at everything in front of you."
"I saw the village chief walking over. His originally kind face was rotten and dripping with pus and blood. The villagers closed their eyes and followed behind him, connected by a thread, like a giant human centipede."
"You were just about to make a move, and suddenly you found that one pale arm after another appeared out of thin air, grabbing you tightly, and the breath of death was eroding your soul."
"You didn't panic. You looked in front of you and said expressionlessly...Should I call you the village chief, or the guardian of the 'ancient village', or the 'King of Hidden Wizards'?"
"You know me?"
"The village chief's expression was astonished. What's even more weird, absurd and creepy is that... he is obviously an old man, but the voice he makes is a woman's."
"You were about to answer, but suddenly there was a crazy spiritual warning. Under the guidance of the 'Lord of Blasphemy', it became clear that invisible forces were trying to corrode you."
"You immediately used the power of 'Reverse Fate' to keep your destiny at present."
"After sensing that the erosion has ended, you relaxed slightly and said calmly... Of course you know, because there is also a 'Hidden Wizard King' active in the outside world, and he has interacted with me many times. The voice
Very easy to distinguish.”
"The 'Village Chief' opened his eyes wide, saw that you were not lying, and said in shock:"
"Impossible, I have already...wait, I know, it is Him, the ruler of the eternal dark river of death, the destination of all death. He uses the characteristics of the same sequence to exert control over the 'hidden' pillar that I graze.
And then replace my identity."
"It dawns on you,"
"It turns out that 'Secret' is really not 'Secret', but the 'Lord of the Dead River'. He had frightened himself with the heavy bet long before the 'Lord of the Dreamland'."
"But what makes you confused is...why the 'Lord of the Dead River' conceals his existence and borrows the identity and power of the 'King of Hidden Wizards'."
"To gain the trust of the 'King of Nature'?"
"The position between the old gods?"
"While you are thinking, terrible murderous intentions are also emerging like a wave. You can see the illusory tide surging around you. It is the two symbols of 'secret' and 'death' mixed together, trying to drown you."
"The fallen 'King of Secret Wizards' seems to have a deep hatred for you and vows to kill you."
"pity,"
"The characteristics of the Lord of Blasphemy are very powerful. After being blessed with the power of 'Fate Countercurrent', no matter how the tide beats, it cannot shake the fixed destiny."
"You couldn't think of a quick solution for the moment, so you asked casually... aren't you already dead?"
"die?"
"You saw the face of the 'Village Chief' suddenly turned ferocious... Of course I died, on the day of my death, thanks to your grace, but I was lucky enough to tear myself away from the 'Dead Lord' at the last moment.
I placed a symbol of 'death' and lived in the tributary of this dead river in the way of the dead, just to wait for your arrival."
"You think to yourself,"
"You tore off a symbol of 'death' from the 'Lord of the Dead River', but the 'Lord of the Dead River' took away an almost 'pillar' level symbol from you. It's really a complete defeat."
"You start to think about how to deal with the real 'Hidden Wizard King' in front of you."
"At this moment, you saw a strange smile appear on the corner of the 'Village Chief''s mouth... My lord, you haven't reached the level of the 'Old King' and awakened all your memories, right? You must be very curious about the 'fall'
'The truth, do you want me to tell you all this?"
"Would the real 'King of Secret Wizards' be so kind?"
"You can't think of the level of the old king. Just knowing the true identity of the 'Unspeakable Land' will cause terrible things to happen. You will immediately have a premonition that something bad is going to happen, turn off your hearing, and want to stop it all."
"But at this moment,"
"The erratic and familiar murmur sounded in my mind..."
