The climate outside the temple was only a little humid. Qin Mufeng, who was only wearing short-sleeved shirts, did not feel cold. The temperature was unexpectedly comfortable.
Walking all the way down the corridor outside the temple, at the end of the steps is a short hillside with flowers and grass. As you look around, there are several kinds of cute little flowers growing, full of out-of-place vitality under the blue sky.
Not all plants in this world are as hideous and terrifying as thorns and black vines. You can also see beautiful flowers with normal shapes. Qin Mufeng is not surprised that he can see such beautiful scenery.
Standing at the highest point of the low hillside, Qin Mufeng looked into the distance and saw a small building complex that seemed to be a village. Opposite the building complex, behind him was a dense and tall black forest.
A feeling of danger,
The small building complex was a dilapidated village called "Beaufort Village". He didn't know about the Black Forest. It was probably the content of the game in Chapter 2, which was definitely not something he could consider now.
Looking down at his modern clothes, Qin Mufeng took off his short-sleeved shirt and jeans completely, considering that the clothes on his body could not function as armor, leaving only a pair of passable brown leather short boots and black boxers.
pants,
If it wasn't really about physical safety, he would have even considered taking off his trousers and leather boots, leaving all four players in the battle. After all, the beggar in the game started with one more stick than him, and it would be easier to integrate into this world without fancy clothes.
Any unnecessary attention can easily lead to danger.
"Now I don't even have a mallet. If I encounter danger, I have no power to defend myself. Speaking of which, the only thing I can use is this thing that almost killed me."
Hiding the clothes outside the Temple of the Sun Goddess, Qin Mufeng picked up the small earthen jar and walked down the stone steps.
"What?"
A curved-horned blue sheep raised its head, chewed the fresh grass in its mouth, and stared sideways at the perverted clay pot man not far away. Its beard was raised. The blue sheep stepped on its hooves and panted heavily, lowering its body.
Issue a warning.
Qin Mufeng stopped and smiled at the blue sheep, indicating that he had no hostility.
"What~"
As if aware of the perverted crock man's kindness, the blue sheep returned to normal and lowered its head again. Just when it was about to continue eating grass, its body suddenly trembled.
"Hey! Handsome friend, where are your clothes?"
The blue sheep turned his head, only to see a ghost-like figure appearing behind him at some point. The face looked very familiar, and he only had a piece of linen crotch cloth all over his body.
"What!!!"
The sight was fixed on the person who came. The frightened blue sheep rolled around twice, and ran away with the bell in its hand in shock. Only the perverted crock man and the golden perverted ghost were left looking at each other from a distance, looking at each other with deep eyes.
Qin Mufeng, who realized that he could understand the ghost young man's words and couldn't figure out the ghost youth's origin, felt relieved.
In his opinion, as long as you can communicate, you can avoid a lot of hostility. After all, most of the enemies in "Dark Blue Blasphemy" are madmen who are unable to communicate and only want to kill your whole family. At that time, you have to use the unique communication methods of the game characters.
Problem solved,
In this dangerous world, it's never a bad thing to gain some kindness.
Qin Mufeng expressed concern as he waved to the ghost young man who was shrouded in a faint golden light with a smile.
"I looked like this after I woke up. Maybe I was robbed. My friend, what about you? Where did your clothes go?"
The ghost young man was stunned, and glanced down at his naked body. As if he had just realized his state, he hurriedly covered his crotch with his right hand and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I seem to have been robbed. They took away all my things except this... I didn't expect you to be the same."
The two looked at each other again, and there was already a hint of sympathy between men in the eyes that met.
With the golden obsession spirit that he could communicate with, Qin Mufeng didn't leave in a hurry, and immediately asked the slightly embarrassed ghost young man to find a protruding rock to sit down.
From beginning to end, Qin Mufeng showed no strange expression, as if he was really facing a friend. This attitude made the ghost young man's face full of gratitude.
"My friend, my name is Qin Mufeng. What's your name? Can you tell me who the bad guy is who robbed you?"
Having said that, Qin Mufeng already had some guesses in his mind.
Facing Qin Mufeng, who looked concerned, the ghost young man also put aside his shyness about being open and honest between people of the same sex, and soon became talkative.
"Hello, Qin Mofen, my name is Lestin, I am a hunter living in Beaufort Village..."
Knowing that it is very impolite to interrupt someone else's speech, Qin Mufeng could only recognize the decent transliteration of Qin Mofu'en. Compared with the meaningless behavior of correcting the name, he wanted to hear "Golden Obsession" more.
Important information given by the spirit.
"I remember that I shot a blue sheep in the balls with an arrow, and while following the blood of the prey, I accidentally came to a very hidden cliff cave in Yishan. At that time, a group of robbers suddenly rushed in.
He came out and not only snatched away my prey, but also captured me into a cliff cave, and then...and then..."
There was a hint of pain and struggle in the ghost young man's expression. Qin Mufeng sighed inwardly and patted the ghost young man's shoulder to comfort him.
"Lestin, that must be a painful memory for you. Don't think about it. I understand. Just relax."
Looking blankly at Qin Mufeng, Lestin smiled gratefully, his ferocious and painful face looking much better.
"That's it, they took everything away from me... Qin Mofen, originally I wanted to invite you to my house as a guest, but my mother is still waiting for me at home. I have to take the blue sheep back, otherwise she will
hungry,
Qin Mo Feng, I'm sorry, I have to go home. Goodbye my friends. I'm glad to meet you. You must come to my house. The room located in the northeast corner of Beaufort Village is my home. Come.
I will entertain you well."
Qin Mufeng stretched out his right hand, but was unable to retain the ghostly young man whose brows were full of sorrow.
Lestin looked back at Qin Mufeng for the last time, turned around and walked down the mountain. After a few steps, the young man suddenly dispersed into a gentle golden light and disappeared with the wind.
The simple young man who looked shy just now seemed as if he had never appeared in this world.
Qin Mufeng was speechless.
This very young and filial young man should have been killed by bandits a long time ago. Out of his obsession with hunting for his mother, this young man appeared in front of him again and became friends with him. He hoped that he would help bring a blue sheep back to the
his mother.
No matter what world we are in, kind people are the most vulnerable to injury.
Standing up, Qin Mufeng picked up the jar and walked towards the village down the mountain, following the footsteps of the ghostly young man.
"Beaufort Village? Old acquaintance."
Except for a few slightly exaggerated sharp-billed crows circling and screaming in the sky, there were no other surprises on the path to Beaufort Village. Just like in the game, Qin Mufeng successfully arrived at a very dilapidated and desolate village.
village,
There are only two roads in the village. Rotten low wooden houses are distributed on both sides along the road. Judging from the air leakage from all sides, they do not look like they can be lived in at all. It seems that most of the houses have been abandoned and exude some kind of smell.
Foul smell.
However, Qin Mufeng knew that the reason why Beaufort Village was so dilapidated and depressed was because it had been ruined by the beastly priest Hallett. Most of the houses were filled with dead bodies, and there was only one person in the huge village.
Come and fish alive.
After walking around the village and reaching the end of the village road, Qin Mufeng had memorized all the building layouts in the village. Taking a deep breath, Qin Mufeng came to the house of the key plot character.
Putting his hands together in apology, Qin Mufeng directly pushed open a wooden door that was ajar and stepped lightly.
The rotten wooden floor made a squeaking sound when stepped on, the long-extinguished fireplace was covered with dust, the broken square table and low stool fell to the ground, and the flattened iron pot was placed upside down on the broken tiles.
There were rotten dried fish and animal meat hanging upside down from the ropes on the beams. A few small insects that looked like flies but were different from flies were lying in the holes of the rotten meat to eat and lay eggs. They looked very good.
As usual in the game, he didn't find anything useful. Qin Mufeng walked into the inner room and saw a rotten body that looked like a dehydrated mummy, squatting on the rotten bed board with his hands on his head and his back to him. The mummy seemed to be
Hearing the noise made by Qin Mufeng, he trembled inwardly, and even the wooden bed board made a clicking sound, as if he was extremely frightened.
Needless to say, this is also a good thing done by Father Laden.
Putting down the jar, Qin Mufeng said hello in a friendly voice.
"Hello?"
The mummy suddenly turned its head and raised its index finger to its lips to signal for silence.
From the frightened facial features, he could vaguely tell that the mummy was a man, but that was all. Qin Mufeng himself was face-blind, so it was definitely difficult for him to identify the face of the wrinkled mummy. He only knew that in the game
, this mummy-like man’s name is Marcy, and he is the initial guide character in the plot killing.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, the priest will find us...wait, are you a fire seeker?"
Qin Mufeng smiled bitterly to himself. Ma Xi didn't agree with his identity at all. Sure enough, the plot of the game could only be used as a reference. In this case, he might as well put it another way.
"I am Lestin's friend, sir. Can you tell me about the fire seeker and the priest? How did the village become like this?"
The man who looked like a mummy took a steady look at Qin Mufeng, who looked nothing like a fire seeker. There was hope in his dim and cloudy eyes, but more of doubt.
Marcy walked down from the bed, gently closed the door to the inner room, and peeked out through the window cracks covered with wooden boards. After seeing no one, he calmed down, sat back on the bed, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
the ugly voice asked.
"That kid Lestin went missing while hunting in the mountains for a long time. How did you meet Lestin?"
Qin Mufeng whispered.
"When Lestin appeared in front of me, he had turned into a shining golden person. He told me that he had been kidnapped by robbers. Later, he said that he was going to take the prey home to take care of his mother, and then he became
The golden light dissipated and disappeared,
Thinking that I might be able to help a bunch of Lestin's mothers, I came over to check on the situation."
Hearing this, the man trembled and wiped his eyes with the back of his withered hand.
"Sure enough, he was killed by robbers... I knew that child had the qualifications to become a fire seeker, but it's a pity... it's a pity..."
After calming down for a while, the man who lowered his arms became much more friendly.
"Since Lestin can meet you in the form of obsession, it means that you are a trustworthy fire seeker.
When the child was young, he always dreamed of having a fire-seeker as his friend to save the village together.
It's a pity that the lighthouse in the Port of Final Stream has been extinguished. No fire seekers from the outer continent will come to the village. The possibility of those fire seekers who left the village and embarked on the journey to come back is even slimmer. Without the help of the fire seekers,
Beaufort Village is finished..."
Based on the key information revealed by Ma Xi, Qin Mufeng sat on the rotten chair.
"Sir, my name is Qin Mufeng. I wonder what I call you sir?"
"Name, name means nothing to me anymore... Fireseeker, just ask whatever you want."
The man lowered his head with a dejected look on his face, Qin Mufeng changed his words.
"Sir, can you tell me what a fire seeker is?"
Hearing this, the man raised his head and took another look at the black-haired young man in front of him, who was as handsome as a noble knight of the kingdom, with a gentle and polite attitude, and a tolerant temperament. His expression immediately became a little strange,
Speaking of which, most of the fire seekers from the outer continent are wearing all kinds of weird armors, as if they are covered with thorns. They are either equipped with all kinds of weapons and armor, or with all kinds of bottles and jars.
They are all cold and dangerous guys. It is very difficult to see clearly what these fire seekers look like.
A perverted fire seeker like the one in front of me, who only wears underwear and short boots, cannot be said to exist, it can only be said to be unheard of, not to mention that this person has no idea of his identity.
He had some doubts about whether he had not been close to the flames for a long time and had blindly recognized the wrong person. However, the young man's plump and healthy body and the gift of fire burning in his eyes could not be faked.
Thinking of this, more questions arose in the man's mind.
The Final Port is no longer connected to the outer continent. Where did the fire seeker who doesn’t like to wear clothes jump out from? Could it be that he jumped out from the cracks in the rocks?
"Before I respond, could I ask Mr. Chermerfoun to answer a question?"
Qin Mufeng nodded slightly.
"Excuse me, sir."
"Mr. Chermerfoun, how did you arrive at Mermest?"
Mermster is the initial area of the game "Dark Blue Blasphemy". Strictly speaking, the Black Forest, which is not opened in the first chapter of the game, is also part of Mermst.
In addition to Beaufort Village, the Temple of the Sun Goddess and the Black Forest, the ruined town of Cedar where Father Laden is located and the Port of Final Flow mentioned by Marcy also belong to the Mermster area.
