Regarding the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss, Cloud Shepherd and Iced Black Tea both gave speculations.
Su Yu didn't know whether their guess was correct. He planned to visit Jenny to see if he could get some useful information.
30 minutes later, Jenny's house.
Jenny lives in a house next door to her mistress.
Su Yu entered the house and found that the decoration inside was very elegant. Not only were the various furniture exquisite and beautiful, but there were also many beautiful sculptures on the furniture. At first glance, it looked like a wealthy family.
"Adventurer, what do you want from me?" Taking Su Yu into the living room, Jenny looked at him with a smile.
Originally she didn't want to see Su Yu, not just Su Yu, she didn't want to see any adventurer.
However, when she saw Su Yu holding a box of cakes made by Aunt Susan, she immediately welcomed him in.
This kind of cake is her favorite. If she doesn't eat one piece every day, she will feel uncomfortable all over.
How did the adventurer know she liked this cake?
Su Yu smiled and placed the cake on the table in the living room.
As for why he knew Jenny liked this, of course he spent a lot of money to ask the villagers!
"I came here mainly to express my gratitude to you." Su Yu said solemnly: "If it weren't for your map, we would not have achieved such a high harvest, so I came here specifically to thank you."
"You're welcome, we are just mutually beneficial." Jenny picked up a piece of cake and took a bite eagerly.
Wow, it was so sweet, she felt like her heart was about to melt.
If he is currently in the game "Evolution", Su Yu will definitely see the words "[Jenny]'s favorability for you is 10" displayed on the game log.
Su Yu continued: "But we won't stay in the village for long. Probably the day after tomorrow, we will be taken out of the village by the gods."
"Is this so?" Jenny looked at Su Yu, a little reluctant.
Her reluctance was not because she fell in love with Su Yu, but because she thought the appearance of these adventurers was quite interesting.
After the adventurers left, the village returned to peace, and then there was endless loneliness.
Just when Jenny was thinking wildly, Su Yu said softly: "We will leave the day after tomorrow, but there are many things I don't know about this time when we come to Riyao Village. I wonder if you can answer them for me?"
"If you want to ask, just ask, for the sake of the cake." Jenny finished the first piece of cake and picked up another one.
"First of all." Su Yu got straight to the point: "Why do the gods want us to sacrifice a lot of fish?"
"This..." Jenny was stunned, the cake stopped at her mouth.
"Why, isn't it convenient to say it?"
"It's not that it's inconvenient to say, but I don't know either." Jenny showed an apologetic smile:
"Just yesterday, the gods suddenly issued a decree requiring a large number of fish sacrifices, and also said that they would send 50 of you adventurers to help. The gods did not say exactly why."
"Is that so?" Su Yu nodded.
But he quickly asked the next question: "Did the gods often send such oracles in the past? I mean the oracles about what sacrifices are needed."
"Hmm... no." Jenny thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Today I heard from the mistress that this is the first time since the founding of the village that the gods have clearly stated the need for sacrifices.
In the past, the gods only accepted offerings and granted favors based on the number of offerings. They never asked for sacrifices. This is the only exception."
"Is that so?" Su Yu frowned.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. For the first time in 800 years, there must be something wrong with this.
So he continued to ask: "Jenny, do you know what enemies the gods have? Or what power can threaten the gods?"
"Enemies?" Jenny also frowned, with a puzzled look on her face: "Gods are gods, where are the enemies? Gods never have enemies.
Also, have you finished asking your questions?"
When asked, Jenny was obviously a little impatient. She felt that Su Yu's questions were very unproductive.
"Okay then, let me ask the last question." Su Yu compromised.
"go ahead."
Su Yu asked the last question: "A lot of firefin fish have appeared in the lake recently. We encountered three this afternoon. Do you know why firefin fish appear in large numbers?"
"This...I don't know either."
"Then can you help me investigate tomorrow? As a thank you, I will come over tomorrow night with Aunt Susan's cake."
"Okay, for the sake of the cake." Jenny thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
In fact, it wasn't just for the cake. She was also worried about the large number of firefin fish and wanted to investigate why.
…
After saying this, Su Yu said goodbye to Jenny and left her home.
Although Jenny didn't reveal much information, Su Yu still felt that the trip was worth it.
A lot of the information Jenny said is quite useful.
After returning to the stronghold, Su Yu, Zhong Feng and others exchanged information and quickly fell asleep.
A night of silence.
…
…
Early the next morning, as it was getting slightly brighter, Su Yu and his party arrived at the altar in the north of the village.
They came to exchange for the "fire stone".
But there have also been quite a few changes on the list behind the altar.
Last night, they only saw one adventurer with a red name. After one night, there were as many as 8 adventurers with red names!
Iced Black Tea looked at the list and sighed slightly: "Oh, the seven adventurers who died were all fishing in the lake last night. I have been watching from the dock."
Su Yu asked: "Iced Black Tea, are only the seven of them entering the lake and dying in it? Or is there a lot of people entering the lake, and they are the seven unlucky ones who died in it?"
"Only seven of them entered the lake." Iced Black Tea confirmed: "The mortality rate is 100%, and several of them are at level seven."
Iced Black Tea pointed at several red names on the list.
Four of the eight red names are seventh-level legendary powerhouses, and they are all famous figures on the planet Scrooge.
I didn't expect that they would capsize in this small ditch.
"Tsk, tsk." Su Yu shook his head.
Fortunately, they listened to the fisherman's advice and did not enter the lake, otherwise...
"However, this list has changed." Zhong Feng pointed to a few more names on the list: "These should be new people who have joined the secret realm. It seems that this secret realm is not limited to 50 people, but can hold 50 people."
people."
Currently, the number of names on the list has increased to 58. Among them, except for 8 dead ones, the other 50 names are all beige survivors.
Among the 50 survivors, there are 8 whose names Su Yu and others have not seen yesterday. These 8 people should have just joined the secret realm this morning.
It seems that this secret realm can continue to add people until there are 50 survivors.
Moreover, the compensation for this group of people entering the secret realm has been increased to 300 red shell coins.
"Forget it, no matter how many there are." Su Yu turned around and distributed the fire repelling stones he had just redeemed to everyone: "Let's go, cheer up, I hope we can have a good harvest today!
Also, there are dangers everywhere in the secret realm, so everyone should be careful!"
"Set off!"
"come on!"
Everyone no longer cares about the adventurers who died, hunting when they should be hunting, and fishing when they should be fishing.
