Chapter 2768 2769, Inheriting the Underground World (19)

Like honey.
Sherlock teleported back to the "Novice Village" through the "blessing" created by Melina, which was roughly regarded as the "Bonfire". During the "teleportation" process, he saw a huge "stone map" suspended in the void. , it very roughly outlines the appearance of an entire piece of land. Between the miniature rolling mountains and forest rivers, there are a total of
There are 16 miniature torches that look like toys. Currently, only two torches representing the "Forest of the Fall of Giants" and "Rumi" are lit.
In other words, I have explored one-eighth of the world so far? Then these countries are really not too big. In addition, this situation is different from when Sherlock took the Hogwarts school bus, Noah's Ark and the Galaxy Train outside the window. The scenery we saw was similar, but there were no stars or gray fog at all outside the "map", only a deep black.
dark.
Could it be that the universe has not been born yet? Is this too early? Before Sherlock could reason about this, the "teleportation" had been completed, and the surrounding deep forests and ruins of the fortress were replaced with lively honey almost instantly, and the center of the village The originally empty square also had a blazing bush
, with the same bonfire with a spiral sword inserted. "Miss Elle, you - Melentilla!" The old woman who asked them to find her son before originally tried to say hello to Melina, but after seeing the timid businessman His expression changed, and he strode out from behind the stall with a handful of
Twist his ears.
"It hurts, it hurts, so many people, please save some face for me, especially Miss Ai Lei is still here."
"How dare you say that? The giant army is approaching, but you go to the front line to cause trouble for Miss Airei!"
"Didn't I just take advantage of the battle in the forest to buy some good goods that no one wants? Hey, please be gentle-"
As expected, their memories also had serious gaps and misalignments, and this greedy merchant failed to pick up any good goods before the world was destroyed.
In addition... Sherlock looked around Rumi and found that after he used "Bonfire Blessing", the village actually jumped for a period of time - if there is a concept of time in this world.
Most of the villagers have returned to normal from the confused state they had just "reconstructed". They no longer wander around foolishly and have returned to their original jobs.
This resulted in some unusual villagers, and people who were not villagers at all, becoming very conspicuous.
Opposite the Melentilla mother and son, there is a blacksmith shop with a locked door, and a sturdy man with a heavy back and a huge body is standing at the door, helpless, as if he has lost the key to the door. On the side of the blacksmith shop, is a hat A small purple tent, a candlestick, an incense burner, a small round table, a crystal ball and other divination equipment are all available, but there is no prophet or fortune teller inside. Instead, there is a book
The little white cat sitting seriously on the round table, pressing its paws on the crystal ball. There is a stone tablet below the Rumi Lighthouse in the distance, with the words "The world has ushered in 2.1 billion deaths" engraved on it, and the stone tablet's Leaning on the side is a man wearing a black pointed hat, brown leather armor, and a long thin sword at his waist.
The man looked completely hopeless.
On the trestle next to the lighthouse, there was a woman wearing a green cloak with a completely different temperament from everyone else looking at the sea.
If this were a scene from Mass Effect, they'd probably have a purple exclamation point on their head.
But this is the "former border". Since they appeared in Melina's field of vision, the information related to them and the tasks they will deliver must have been included. "Thank you again for bringing Melentila back, "The old woman pressed Melentilla's head and bowed her head to Melina again to thank her, then took out an iron key from his backpack: "This one can open the door of the mansion on the other side of the suspension bridge.
I’ll give you the key to open it,”
How could someone use someone else's door key as a thank you gift?
"We know this is not a good gift. After all, the mansion is full of dead souls, but they must be no match for Miss Ai Lei and your servant." The old woman added.
Are they all... dead souls? Sherlock thought of the head maid holding a scythe, and tentatively agreed. Obviously, after Melentilla found this key, he hoarded it and set an outrageous price, "Miss Elle." Don't listen to him at all, break into the mansion through other means that don't require a key, and clean it -
- In various senses - Later, it was used as a private residence. Although the "remodeling" merchant did not remember this incident, he intuitively judged that this thing could no longer be sold at a high price, and it might be smashed if he kept it in his hands, so Give it back as a gift - except giving the key to the owner of the house.
Apart from being a bit outrageous, the overall logic is actually very reasonable.
"Yeah." Melina nodded noncommittally and put the keys away.
"In addition, in addition," Xingshang straightened his head: "As I said before, all products are discounted for you, you can take a look."
"Okay." Melina nodded slightly and turned her gaze to his large backpack.
Really just take a look?
Sherlock was about to say something when Melina suddenly spoke:
"[The key to the blacksmith's shop, the small key lost by 'Renigaz the Blacksmith', can open the door of Rumi's blacksmith shop, 9000 souls.]"
When I first saw "gain a lot of souls after using it", I guessed that it was the currency of this world - the same as the runes in "The Junction", but... do you have a hobby of picking up other people's door keys and selling them for money? ? "[Special Catnip; give something and then get something else. Humans always like this, don't they? The 'lovely Shalager' from the 'White King's Country' will only talk to the person who holds this thing, 18000
soul.】"
The vague introduction, although the price is not expensive, but what is the use of talking to a cat? "[Brave Heart; 'Sordan the Lost Heart' is an immortal from the 'Land of Molten Iron'. He has lost his heart after countless deaths. Frustrated, he in turn advised other people infected with the immortal curse not to work hard, if he could regain his
Courage may be a boost for adventure, 45,000 souls.】"
You are Dorothy's lion! "[Dragon Runes: The words used by the dragons worshiped by the 'Holy Wall Country', which seem to contain powerful power, but mortals cannot use them. If you dare to ask the dragon for help , or find a dragonborn with dragon blood
, maybe we can decipher it. 90,000 souls.]"
This thing...if brought to Jotunheim, it should shock the historians of Asgard - if they have this profession. Speaking of which, the names of those BOSSs that "drop souls" are actually It's a bit weird, their "suffix" is somewhat abnormal, just "resentment of countless deaths", maybe it can be explained as the death of other giants
, but "start class" means...
Step, step, step.
Sherlock was thinking when he saw the woman in green robe who was looking at the sea walking towards him. She had long burgundy hair, and under her cloak was a robe that looked like a nun's uniform and a knight's retinue.
"Are you... the next king?" She looked at Sherlock expressionlessly: "Or are you just a pawn of fate?"
"Am I? No? But it could be?" Sherlock replied uncertainly.
"My name is 'Xana Lot', a pilgrim," the woman in green robe continued: "Please go defeat the 'Four Giants' and collect their souls. Only in this way can this land be protected from being destroyed. Devour.”
"Swallowed by what? The abyss?"
"You who are cursed, please go find a more powerful soul," Shanalot ignored Sherlock's question and continued: "I can transform them into your power and make your soul stronger. "
You are equivalent to the witch in the border area. If you didn't say this earlier, you would have understood. Then...
Pat pat pat——
Melina, who was still looking at the goods, suddenly ran over and stood directly in front of Sherlock, stretching out her hands:
