Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Future of the World

Pan Long slew the necromancer apprentice who raised rats to spread the plague, and the goal of their adventure was accomplished.

All along, this guy has been elusive, relying on rats as eyes and ears, avoiding large groups of adventurers, and launching attacks while the group of adventurers are resting, or even sending rats to the town of Hamlet on the ground to spread the plague.

This kind of behavior poses a great threat to the small town of Hamlet, and if it were not for the efforts of doctors such as Türk, the town of Hamlet might have been empty just because of the plague he spread.

Something similar has happened more than once before, and it will happen again in the future.

The bosses who are lurking near the town of Hamlet will gradually surface as the adventurers explore, attacking the town as the rear base camp of the adventurers, creating all kinds of threats to them.

All this, of course, is under the control of the old earl, who is behind the scenes.

It's a bit ironic to say that most of these bosses have suffered the loss of the old earl back then, and many of them were even killed by him. As a result, after they became monsters, not only did they not seek revenge on the old earl, but they were used by the old earl again and became his accomplices.

This vote, alive or dead, is a flock of stupid birds. It is no wonder that although they have their own abilities, they are all played by the old earl.

It's not terrible to have low strength, but it's terrible to have low intelligence. What's the use of having strength without brains?

While Pan Long was resting, the adventurers cleaned up the battlefield. The necromancer's apprentice left behind few trophies, mostly fragments of mystical powers—similar artifacts that can be used to perform mystical rituals, increase the purification area within the town, and expand the safe area for the townspeople and adventurers.

Other than that, there was a bone wand and a metal ring encrusted with a few tiny gemstones.

The wand knew it was something evil at first sight, and the jealous Crusader Eric set it on fire on the spot. Gerod was so good at talking that he could be regarded as persuading him to come down.

After all, this thing must be worth a lot of money, and even if it can't be used directly, it may be a valuable cultural relic.

"No matter how evil things are, money is innocent!" When Pan Long sat by the campfire and drank fried batter, he heard Jerold shouting hoarsely, and he almost hugged Eric's thighs and shouted, "Keep people under the knife".

Eventually, the wand was handed over to Pan Long for safekeeping, and Eric felt that the powerful "Mr. Dragon" was the only one who could control such an evil thing.

As for the ring, Gerald only identified that it had magical powers that were not evil, but what kind of magic ornament it was had to be slowly identified back in town.

Eric and Kadra similarly examined the ring with divine spells and came to the same conclusions as him.

"Since it's not evil, don't think about it, put it on. Kadra said this, and put the ring on.

This made everyone secretly sigh "woman" in their hearts...... Even some ugly nuns are still women. Women really don't have much resistance to jewelry, especially beautiful jewelry.

To be honest, this ring is quite beautiful, the silver band has many beautiful decorative patterns, and a few small sapphires set to add a touch of charming color to it, but unfortunately the position of the ring is only a seal, which makes its beauty plummet.

If you can replace the face of the ring with a gemstone, I believe that the attractiveness of this ring to women will be able to reach a higher level.

What exactly was this ring? Pan Long didn't remember either—he had played so many games, and there were so many games in the game that he could remember them everywhere!

Packing up their things, they hurried back to the town of Hamlet. Gerald was anxious to get the equipment appraised, Eric and Kadra were to pray at the chapel, and finally Dr. Türk and Pan Long were left with them to report the expedition to the tribune.

When Tribune Jackson learns that the man who manipulated rats to attack adventurers and spread the plague is dead, he smiles and looks very happy.

"Great! This is the best news I've heard in all this time!" he said excitedly, "let's go to the Count and tell him the good news!"

Upon learning that the "rat keeper" was dead, the Count was overjoyed.

He thought that this "Mr. Dragon" was strong enough to ensure the safe return of the team, but that was all—after half a year of hard work, his expectations for adventurers had been reduced to a pitiful level.

As a result, Pan Long's performance far exceeded his expectations, and in just two days, he killed the "rat keeper" who caused a lot of trouble to everyone!

"Great! Now everyone can finally have a safe meal!" he clapped his fist happily and asked again, "Mr. Long is really strong, I wonder if you would like to stay here for a while longer?"

Of course Pan Long is willing, since he is here, he will help the people of Hamlet Town solve the problem.

And...... There was one thing he was actually quite curious about.

At the beginning, although the scumbag old earl had a very poor character, his strength was not bad, and he only relied on a knife to kill the powerful vampire. But in the end, the man went crazy...... What is it that drives him crazy? Can that thing be used properly and used to its advantage?

These are all problems.

In the original game, the answers to these puzzles were not revealed. Players travel through the town of Hamlet, various labyrinths and dream worlds, and the most precious treasure they can finally obtain is the "umbilical cord of the old gods".

Obtain the umbilical cord of the three Old Gods, kill the fourth Old God to get the Blood of the Old Gods, and then go to the final labyrinth "Chaos of Flesh" behind the "Gate of Eternity" below the hilltop castle in Hamlet Town, where you can use these four things to lure the scumbag Old Earl who was knocked down once by the players but did not kill him, so that this demon who has been crazy in pursuit of becoming a god can use these things and evolve into a "god-like".

Of course, this is not to help the old villain succeed, but once he evolves into a "god-like", he will open the door between the real world and the dream world. The moon god who has successfully reincarnated in the dream world will have to be forced to awaken early and start a desperate struggle with the scumbag old earl who has turned into a "god-like".

The end result of the fight is that the two villains die together, and players can easily take the relics they left behind to help the good Count Hamlet complete the descent ritual, let the holy light cleanse the evil, and restore peace to the land.

This is the third ending in the game that is the most difficult to achieve, the Divine Return.

And what Pan Long wants to do is to work hard to achieve such a result in the short period of less than two months that he can stay in this world.

If it's too late, at the very least, the two villains will be sealed for the time being, and then completely solved after a while.

This is the only world he has opened that has a great possibility of tragedy, and if he doesn't work hard, the next time he comes to this world, he may see evil gods descending into the world or demons running rampant.

That kind of ending, absolutely not!
