The head of Runa Village, who has a white beard, is a well-informed person, and as soon as Pan Long reminded him, he understood the crisis facing Runa Village.

The oppression of the heretics in the Frese Empire was all-encompassing, and the means were by no means limited to economics or politics. If necessary, they could definitely wield a butcher's knife and kill the village of Runa.

According to Pan Long's guess, the plot in the game may have happened like this.

Perhaps, the reason why this world has evolved such a story is the embodiment of his inner speculation?

He didn't dwell on it, but told the village chief that he was an adventurer looking for treasures, riches, and interesting things to do, and that he had passed by the village by chance. He doesn't have a good opinion of either the Frese Empire or the Monothe, so if the village chief is willing to hire him, he can live in Runa Village for a while to help the villagers deal with the Monotheism that might come to trouble.

The village chief did not immediately agree, but looked the uninvited adventurer up and down first.

The people of the Northland are fierce, people usually wear swords with them, and people with conditions even like to put a layer of light leather on the outside of their linen coats every day, so that they can do it with people at any time. Now Pan Long is also dressed like this, and he really looks a bit of an adventurer. In addition, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, with a well-proportioned body and vigorous movements, he knows at a glance that he is capable. The village chief gave him a large number of moments and nodded, which was regarded as a recognition of his strength.

"So, what price do we have to pay?" he asked.

Without waiting for Pan Long to speak, he said, "Frankly tell you, there is not much money in Runa Village, and if you want a large sum of money, we really can't take it out." ”

Pan Long smiled, of course he knew that there was no money in this village, and he didn't want money.

"I'm an adventurer. "If you don't have enough money...... You can also make up for something special. ”

A few minutes later, they arrived at the village chief's house. It was a small two-story building that served as a residence, a hotel, a grocery store, and even a temporary hospital when necessary.

The village chief rummaged through the cabinets at home and found about two dozen gold coins, a lot of silver and copper, which were piled on the table, which was quite conspicuous.

"That's all we have for money. The village chief sighed, "As for antiques, gold and silver jewelry, or something...... If you're interested, I can try to find it, but I don't think I can find much. The most precious thing in this village is the thousand-year-old statue of the goddess of the moon, which is also inlaid with a gem called the 'Crystal of the Goddess of the Moon', but we will never give it to you - in that case, you might as well bow to the Empire!"

Pan Long originally just wanted to find an excuse, and he didn't intend to extort their money, but in order to prevent being suspected of harboring evil intentions, he had to go through a process. Hearing this, he asked, "So, do you have any herbs or something?"

In the game, "herbs" are very common items, you can find one or two in each level in the early stage, and you can buy ten copies at a time in the store - you can only buy ten copies in each store, and that's the setting.

This thing can recover 10 HP at once, which doesn't seem like much at first glance, but you know, even if it's a full-level Blood Cow type character, it's only 125 HP at most. Even the boss with the highest HP, the God of the Earth, is only 400 HP.

The fledgling protagonist of the first level, but it's just a mere 20 HP.

In other words, one serving of the herb should allow a strong man to heal from an intermediate level of injury. What's even more amazing is that the effect of the herb is instantaneous.

If it can be brought back to reality and can maintain its effect in this world, then these ordinary herbs can be regarded as a panacea for the flesh and bones of the living and the dead!

The village chief replied, "The local specialty is moon dew grass, which is mashed and applied to the forehead, and is very effective in treating dizziness, fever, heat stroke and other diseases." I'm a herbalist, and I make my own herbs to treat injuries, which is pretty good. ”

Pan Long smiled again and didn't say anything.

Obviously, it is impossible to rely on such a price in exchange for someone else's help to fight against the Unitarian Cult or even the Frese Empire.

The village chief naturally understood this, and he laughed dryly, with seven points of helplessness and three points of embarrassment.

The village of Luna really can't get anything.

By this time, Pan Long could finally say what he wanted to say before: "You know, I'm an adventurer. I'm quite confident when it comes to treasure hunting. If you wish, I'd like to look around in and around Runa and maybe find something of more value. ”

The village chief looked at him and asked, "Not including the Moon Goddess Crystal?"

"Of course not. Pan Long smiled, "And I can guarantee that I won't go to the villagers' houses to rummage through the cabinets - I only look for treasures outside." ”

The village chief bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

He didn't think about it for long, because he really didn't have much to choose from.

The population of Runa Village is quite large, and there are always seventy or eighty people who are young and strong together. But if the imperial army does come, especially ...... If the Holy Legion comes, then only seventy or eighty strong men who don't know martial arts are actually not enough to see at all.

He has actual combat experience and knows very well that people who have not undergone military training are simply vulnerable to the regular army. As long as thirty or fifty soldiers come, come up and shoot a wave of arrows, and then ride on their horses and charge, the villagers will be crushed, and the rest will be nothing more than a simple pursuit.

But if there is a master on the villagers' side, for example, they can lead them to counterattack at the beginning and break through the imperial army's formation. The outcome of this battle is not yet known.

Only by fighting a melee can the numerical advantage of the villagers be brought into play!

In the end, he agreed to Pan Long's suggestion, and Pan Long naturally set off immediately to search for treasures inside and outside the village.

Feather boots are the heirloom of the southernmost family in the village, and according to the plot, the ancestors of that family left this so that their children and grandchildren can easily escape when they encounter danger. It's a pity that his children and grandchildren were unlucky and didn't have time to use it.

Of course, Pan Long is not good at fighting other people's family heirlooms, so this equipment can only be abandoned.

But he could still take the slaughtering sword at the village gate.

Although he was not prepared to bring this sword back to reality, at least in this world, it would be of great use to him.

If you want to fight, you can't do without a good weapon. Even if the special effect of the Sword of Slaughter, "Doubling the damage to people", may not be used, it is at least a sharp sword.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, he greeted the guards guarding the gate and walked over to the statue of the goddess of the moon.

"Is it okay for me to touch this statue?" he asked.

"As long as it's not blasphemous. The guard with a spear replied.

Pan Long nodded, and put his left hand on the blade of the long sword on the statue's hand, using slight force.

The rough-looking stone flakes were unexpectedly sharp, and they immediately cut through his hand, staining the blade with blood.

The guards looked at him in amazement, not understanding what the adventurer was doing.

Pan Long didn't explain, and smeared his own blood on the sword's body. He didn't bleed much, but it was enough. I don't know how many places it smeared, the sword body suddenly glowed red, and then the stone powder fell, and a stone sword that looked ordinary suddenly turned into a blood-red long sword.

It looks unpretentious, but it exudes a murderous aura that is terrifying.

This is one of the two hidden treasures of this level, the Sword of Slaughter.

I remember that in the game, the way to obtain this treasure is to "the injured character stands next to the statue of the goddess", and then the prompt is "blood stained the sword on the statue's hand, and the stone sword turned into a sharp sword, full of desire to kill".

And at this moment, with the sword of slaughter in his hand, Pan Long could also vaguely feel that this sword was eager to fight and kill.

Seeing the stone sword turn into a real sword, the two guards were completely stunned. Pan Long smiled at them and asked, "Do you have any extra scabbards?"

The guards shook their heads.

So he had to go to the village chief, and the village chief said that he could make one for him, anyway, it was just a piece of skin.

Sitting in the hall, watching the village chief find animal skins and begin to cut and sew the scabbard, Pan Long was thinking again, did he have any treasures to find?

(It seems to be...... No, huh...... ）

He thought about it and thought about it several times, but he couldn't think of any treasures.

Looking for Lilina and getting her healing wand?

It's useless to come, it's for the priesthood profession.

Lilina's "Tears of the Moon Goddess Pendant" is also a treasure, which can greatly increase magic defense, but it is a relic of someone's mother, how can it be given to him!

But at this moment, a thought suddenly moved in his heart, and he remembered another thing.

In the game, after clearing the level, you can open the second week, and players can use the abilities, equipment and items of the cleared character, and then re-adventure from the beginning of the story. Experience the story quickly and easily complete a different story path from the last adventure.

In the second week, if the player has a high movement speed, they will be able to get a True Hidden item from the flower bush in front of the statue of the Goddess of the Moon, which is the place where the Moon Fragment was obtained after the burning of Runa Village.

Tiny Luna statue.

The annotation of this "True Hidden Item" is "a workout device made by Luna's fat house programmers to avoid sudden death", and it is a palm-sized statue of the goddess of the moon, but it is very heavy, weighing as much as a full-body armor. After equipping it in the cosmetic slot, in addition to the slight increase in attack and defense, the most important effects are "Double the experience gained and the experience decay caused by the level difference".

In "Sword and Tragedy", the player's various routes add up, and a huge team of 120 people can be controlled, and it will be a huge job to train so many people to the full level.

But as long as you put this equipment on the person who needs to level up, and then take him to a few monster-infested maps to sweep the ground with a few rounds of group attacks, you will see his level brush brush go straight up, and he will soon be able to reach full level.

For second-week players, this "True Hidden Item" is the most valuable thing in Runa Village.

"Although...... It's a bit unreliable to say, after all, there shouldn't be that thing in this world, but ...... What if there is?"

Pan Long muttered to himself, said to the village chief, and went out towards the statue of the goddess of the moon on the other side of the small square.
