When the two met again, half a century had passed, but their situation was no longer the same as before, but they asked the same question.
Ruiya is still young and beautiful. Under the influence of the Kingdom of God, she is even younger than when she disappeared. It is as if she has returned to the way Caverman first saw her in Yellowstone Town. She was smart and cunning, wearing a hat on her head. A woven garland broke into his field of vision like a deer in the forest, but he...
Kafferman couldn't help but look down at his hands, which had wrinkles piled up one after another. His mood was indescribable. This was the first time he was afraid of seeing his old age. He couldn't help but step back half a minute, hiding his body under After gathering everyone, but before he could react, a figure rushed towards his chest like a baby swallow returning to its nest.
The body collided with the body, and he subconsciously hugged her, but the moment he hugged her, his hands seemed to be electrocuted, and they bounced away instantly.
He felt the slender and cold body!
This is not a dream, it actually exists.
His wife...is really still alive, and time has not left any traces on her body at all. On the contrary, he himself has become much older.
This was the first time that he felt disgusted with his body. The loose skin, brown spots, and hunched body all told that he was getting old.
Except for Woody, everyone else looked at the two embracing each other in shock. After all, although they knew that the old man's main purpose was to find his wife who disappeared fifty years ago, most people had no idea what he thought. They didn't have any expectations. After all, in their opinion, most people had died long ago, and at most they only found some relics. But what they didn't expect was that they could meet each other in this mysterious plane.
Of course, while I was shocked, I was even more happy for Kafferman.
"Let's leave some space."
Woody smiled and suggested.
Naturally, the others did not listen to the lovers expressing their heartfelt thoughts, and they all followed Woody and left.
On the way, Cecil couldn't help but ask.
"You knew she was still alive?"
"Are you waiting for her here on purpose?"
It’s not surprising that Cecil had such an imagination. After all, he seemed to be a prophet along the way and had anticipated everything. It was only natural that he had anticipated this.
Woody smiled and shook his head after hearing this.
"Do you think I am a god? I can count everything."
The past life is naturally the biggest secret. Woody does not want to reveal that he can predict the future in non-essential links, so that if a legendary mage who cares to notice notices it, he will be in trouble.
"Oh, yes."
Cecil snorted and felt ridiculous for his own thoughts. At the beginning, he said that there might be traces of his wife in the plane there, and he did not say that she must be alive. After all, there was no trace of his wife in the entire Jingsong Forest. It is extremely reasonable to find the demiplane that appears here.
"But she looks really young and will not age in the Kingdom of God. This seems to be a painful thing for both parties."
Duni looked around curiously, although the dragon inheritance told her that under the blessing of the platinum dragon god Bahamut, all the dragons would gain happiness and joy in Paradise Mountain, and the mountains of gold coins would be inexhaustible. The delicious food and the unrestrained life made her look forward to it. Looking at the distinct ages of the two humans, Duny sighed.
"Donnie, you have to know that as you grow older, it is difficult to achieve pure happiness in some things. Most of them are painful and happy."
Woody also felt something when he saw it. He didn't think this was a painful thing for the two of them. Maybe it would be uncomfortable at first because of their age, but the rest of the time is a happiness that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
.
Sure enough, the two seemed to talk a lot, and soon they hugged each other. Compared with the awkward embrace the first time, this time it was more natural and intimate, and there was no longer any awkwardness.
The two held hands and came to Woody and others. Carverman first deeply paid Woody the highest ranger salute. This kind of etiquette was only used when he faced the World Tree Seed, and his mood at that time
It's almost the same as now, the same passion, the same happiness.
"Thank you! Woody, you allowed me to meet my wife before I was about to enter the grave of death."
He squeezed Ruiya's hand and looked down at the pretty figure standing next to him, with a smile on his face.
"Thank you too. I just said, maybe it was Barukarya who listened to my heart and sent my husband to me. I didn't expect it to be you, this amazing young adventurer.
.”
Her eyes were also full of gratitude, as if she thought of something, she said again.
"I heard that the purpose of your coming here is to enter the temple and worship Barukarya?"
Woody glanced at Carverman. It seemed that he had already told her just now, so he didn't hide it and just shook his head.
"We are not entering the temple, but outside the temple. We are trapped in the golden valley by the mystery created by the temple. Now we cannot leave, so we hope to enter the temple to close it."
Seeing the trace of worry on Riya's face, Woody caught her emotion and asked proactively.
"Did something happen inside the temple?"
he said tentatively.
"Do you need my help?"
Ruiya quickly shook her head and said.
"No, no, if you want to enter the temple, I can take you in. Anyway, the priest didn't say no outsiders are allowed in, but..."
She said that there was obviously some hesitation here, but she finally said...
"The priest seems to be busy with something now. You may be in danger."
She warned seriously.
"His current mental state may be a little bad. Many of his colleagues in the temple have been sacrificed to Balukaya by him. Before that..."
Ruiya took a look at the natural spirit that was independent from the crowd. As a divine attendant of the temple, she naturally recognized that this was an outsider who often came here, and every time she would bring a group of people who looked similar to him.
young people.
Woody seemed to notice her concerns and explained with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, he is not the same person who came here before."
"Isn't it? But they look exactly the same."
Ruiya didn't know that he was the current lord of the Golden River Valley. She only knew that every time he brought people, they were sacrificed to the supreme Baru Kalya. Although she didn't like living sacrifices, after all, Baru Kalya
Rukarya's motto never asked people to give it living humans, but only asked believers to give her an even portion of the food after harvesting.
She obviously had a deep prejudice against this guy who might be his heir. After all, she had also heard with her own ears that in order to gain power, he did not hesitate to use cursed humans to please Barukaya, or sacrifices.
of joy.
"Ruiya, it's different. I've witnessed all this with my own eyes. What you see in front of you is actually the clone of the lord of the Golden Valley."
"Clone? Aren't you still the same person?"
Woody signaled to Caverman, and he pulled Rhea up with understanding and began to tell him about his experiences along the way before meeting her.
Ruiya's eyes when looking at the spirit of nature changed from resistance to pity.
"What an infatuated guy."
"……."
Kafferman never imagined that what touched her most was actually the spirit of nature presenting a bouquet of flowers to his master.
"Anyway, that's the general story, so we need your help now."
In the original plot, without Kafferman, Rhea took the initiative to issue a commission, hoping that the players could investigate the truth in the temple. In this process, the mission of the Lost Temple started after Rhea's death.
But this time, there is no need to do this.
After learning that this dungeon had a nightmare difficulty, Woody did not plan to clear it as originally planned. He just wanted to complete the sublimation of his soul through the ascension ceremony, and then asked the spirit of nature to help lift the fog, and then left this place.
land.
The increase in nightmare difficulty means an increase in variables, which is undoubtedly not a huge risk for an adventure team that can barely reach the difficulty level of the dungeon challenge.
…
"Then you come with me. The priests have sealed all the internal entrances to the temple a few days ago. If you want to avoid alerting them, I have a special method."
Ruiya smiled and said softly.
"I secretly discovered this not long ago, and the priests don't even know about it."
After listening to this, Woody thought to herself that it might have been the Quetzalcoatl God Balukaya who told her. Otherwise, how could a normal servant of the god think of dealing with the sacrifice?
Of course, on the surface, his expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.
"Then I'd like to trouble you, Miss Ruiya."
"It's okay. Since you are Caverman's friends and you brought him to me, this is what you should do."
Ruiya's eyes were full of gratitude, without any hint of displeasure.
Soon, with star-like positive energy singularities dotting the road ahead, Woody and others followed Ruiya and began to rush towards the location of the obelisk. This time, even the weak mage Sisi
Er, she also speeded up her pace slightly, and she had already pinched several strange objects in her hands, ready to release them at any time. She was still quite afraid of the dead magic area.
After a few minutes, the forest gradually disappeared and was replaced by neat pavements paved with marble. In the center of the intersection was a statue of Quetzalcoatl hovering on a column.
Everyone found that when they got here, they were unable to move forward as Woody said. An invisible barrier blocked them, like a transparent wall in the air.
As an attendant of the god, Ruiya easily entered the outskirts of the temple. When she saw everyone looking at her, she didn't say much and stood directly under the statue of Quetzalcoatl, gently stroking its tail, and then looked at everyone.
Under his gaze, the feathered serpent that had turned into stone suddenly came to life, easily broke free from the shackles of the column, and then neighed slightly toward the sky, and several pieces of colorful feathers fell from the sky one after another.
And Ruiya picked up the feathers one by one, handed the feathers to everyone, and said.
"Take it. With it, you can enter the temple."
Sure enough, when the feathers were obtained, the wall of air that originally hindered them seemed to not exist.
Everyone was overjoyed. The spirit of nature held the colorful feathers and turned them over and over. He felt that they were filled with energy that made him feel comfortable. Cecil felt the divine power inside and was quite curious. Only Woody looked at the feathers in his hands. Feather was born in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Cecil saw something wrong with Woody's expression, thought something was wrong with him, and expressed concern.
"It's okay, I thought of something very important."
Woody looked up at the statue of Quetzalcoatl that circled back to the column, touched the soft and comfortable feathers in his hand, and murmured.
"It seems that everything inside the temple is under the watchful eye of this god."
Seeing this, Woody still doesn't understand that the so-called guesses and conjectures in the past life forum are basically wrong.
She was not asleep at all, otherwise, she would never show her divine power at this time. You must know that the current background is that the wall of faith is on the verge of collapse.
The temples of various kingdoms in Asenland have begun to use celebrations to please the gods in order to re-establish contact. The reason why this year in the previous life was called the Golden Year is that in addition to the opening of trade, there is another reason As the gods lose their reaction and no longer care about mortals, their followers will intensify their grand festival celebrations and become more and more prosperous.
At this time, no matter what kind of god it is, it will save its little remaining power. After all, use less and less, let alone give her power to a god attendant casually in this way.
Thinking of this, Woody bowed seriously to Quetzalcoatl in front of him to show respect.
Ruiya also saw Woody's behavior, with a flash of appreciation in her eyes, and said to him.
"Barukalya will bless you, traveler."
"Now take us to the square where the three pointed stones are placed."
Woody relayed the location told to him by the spirit of nature to Ruiya. Ruiya, who had lived here for a long time, naturally understood where that place was and subconsciously replied.
"Is this the Chongsheng District? There happen to be three pointed stone monuments there, not far from here. I'll take you there."
Naturally, everyone had no objections and followed Ruiya. They soon passed by the edge of the square where the sculpture of Quetzalcoatl was placed. Dense buildings and blocks appeared in everyone's field of vision, which also caused everyone's footsteps to echo on the walls. The sound echoed back and forth, crisp and long, but Ruiya said that no one lived outside the temple, and everyone was not surprised by this phenomenon. After all, the only living creature they had seen since entering this plane was The woman in front of me.
Just when everyone was about to go, Cecil frowned slightly.
"My magic guard has detected a creature rushing towards us."
After entering the temple, Cecil deployed a series of protective measures to avoid the possibility of being unable to cast spells due to the dead magic zone.
