Chapter 41: The Mysterious High Priest
From these people, Zhou Yu also learned some information. The place where they are located is the southernmost part of the kingdom of Locke, in the wilderness forest.
The Locke Kingdom is the largest kingdom on this continent, and there are many small countries and forces under it, and there are four major dangers around the kingdom, and the wild forest is in the south.
And the five of them are residents of Blackstone Town near the Savage Forest, and they are undergoing a coming-of-age test at this time.
The so-called coming-of-age ceremony test is that a teenager and girl of the right age can pass the test by entering the forest to pick a wild grass without the escort of an adult.
"Wild grass?"
"This is the lowest herb in the Savage Forest, and it can be found at the edge of the forest if you are lucky, but it is becoming less and less common with the picking."
The girl who had been treated before slowly explained, and Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and took out a spirit grass from the storage space.
"Is that it?"
The five had a look of surprise on their faces.
"Where did you get that?"
Zhou Yu didn't reply, and threw it away
"I've got you delivered."
The five of them were stunned, and then thanked them again and again, with this wild grass, their test this time was completed.
"Please also come back with us, the high priest of our town knows a lot of news, which may be helpful to the lord, and the high priest also welcomes the arrival of a strong person like your lordship!"
A young man said with some excitement, not only to invite a strong person like Zhou Yu to be a guest, but also to get his protection, after all, it is not easy for the five of them to get out of the wild forest.
Zhou Yu originally sent out the wild grass with the idea of temptation, but he didn't expect these five people to be so upright, and they immediately invited each other, so that he might be able to blend in with the NPC openly, and maybe he could even shadow a few players.
Thinking of these in his heart, Zhou Yu smiled without revealing the slightest smile on his face
"Then it's going to be bothered!"
"Don't dare, the high priest, they will be very happy!"
A few people chatted and hurried, basically Zhou Yu asked them to answer, and a few teenagers didn't dare to ask more, after all, there was a strict hierarchy here, and it was a crime to ask rashly, Zhou Yu was a strong man in their opinion, after all, the other party was the first person they knew who met Bingjiao and did not die.
There were also several dangers encountered on the road, but they were all solved by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was also a little curious, this wild forest is so dangerous, let a few low-strength teenagers come to the so-called coming-of-age test, isn't this sending them to death?
Time passed quickly, and a group of six people finally walked out of the wild forest after a few hours.
The five of them all felt a little relieved, and Zhou Yu was also a little lucky, fortunately he met the aborigines, otherwise he would not have been able to get out of this ghost place by himself.
……
"It's almost time for you, Blackstone Town is ahead!"
The young man in front of him heard a little happy voice, and Zhou Yu also looked at it.
About ten kilometers ahead, a small town stands quietly on a half-mountainside slope, the scale is not very large, it is estimated that a small town will kill about a few thousand people.
"Go back quickly, the sun is setting!"
The girl said a word, Zhou Yu obviously felt that several people were a little nervous, as if something very bad would happen at sunset, but Zhou Yu didn't ask, just write down this matter silently in his heart, if he has the opportunity, he must ask clearly, and it is easy to expose himself if he asks too much now.
Several people couldn't help but speed up, and finally got back to the town before dark.
Far away, I saw several middle-aged couples at the entrance of the town looking out of the town, and when they saw the five teenagers appear, they were also excited, and they cried with joy when they returned to the front
"Yun'er! Yun'er is back! ”
"My son, well done!"
Several teenagers and girls also had red eyes, and this time they almost thought they couldn't come back, and they couldn't help but hug each other and cry when they thought of this.
Zhou Yu on the side didn't understand very well, he was obviously worried about dying, but he still had to send his children to the forest for testing, why was this?
But I don't know about it, so it's not good to ask rashly. After a few people finished catharsis, they remembered Zhou Yu on the side.
One of the teenagers immediately said to his father
"Father, it is actually the credit of this adult that the child can return safely this time, otherwise the child may not be able to come back."
Several other teenagers also nodded with red eyes, and several parents immediately thanked Zhou Yu for their kindness.
Zhou Yu couldn't stand this, and said directly
"Since you have nothing to do, take me to the high priest."
The teenagers didn't feel anything, and their parents were shocked, this person actually wanted to meet the high priest?
The High Priest is the strongest person in their Black Rock Town, and they don't know how strong it is, they only know that the High Priest is the patron saint of Black Stone Town, and no matter what demon beast attacks, it will be killed by the High Priest!
Several people looked at each other, but they couldn't make up their minds, and they didn't know whether to take Zhou Yu to meet the high priest.
At this moment, a big man wearing half-body armor and carrying a big axe came in the distance,
"Your guests have come from afar, and if you have offended, please Haihan, the high priest has already known about the matter here, so please tell your lordship!"
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, as soon as he came on his front foot, the high priest knew the news, was he monitoring the whole town or what?
"Lead the way!"
"Your Excellency, please come with me"
……
Following the big man to a mountain wooden house at the back of the town, the big man quit and retreated, as if he was not qualified to enter the wooden house.
Zhou Yu originally thought that the high priest lived in the middle of the town, but he didn't expect that the residence was just a small cabin in the mountains, and this high priest was a wonderful person!
Squeak!
The wooden door opened, the scenery inside was unobstructed, several wooden chairs were neatly placed, and a white-haired old man was stroking a docile kitten with his eyes closed, and the kitten squinted as if he was asleep because it was too comfortable.
"The honored guest is here to solve his doubts!"
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of light was fleeting. Zhou Yu is like a great enemy, this old man gives him the feeling that it is even more dangerous than the ice Jiao!
"Your Excellency is the High Priest?"
"Sort of, it's just a code name, so why bother with honorable guests."
The old man closed his eyes by himself, and the cat in his arms stretched a little lazily, turned over and continued to lie in the old man's arms, and a pair of smart purple cat pupils looked at Zhou Yu curiously.
It doesn't feel like Zhou Yu is a cat, but looking at a person.
"Can the High Priest tell the difference between us?"
Zhou Yu asked tentatively, before he arrived, the high priest said that he was a guest, giving Zhou Yu the feeling of knowing that he was not from this world.
"Heh, the old man from outside the world has also seen a lot, and the aura on your body is no different from them!"
"How can I dispel the breath or change it?"
The old man didn't speak, but opened his eyes again and glanced at Zhou Yu in some surprise
"The Void Flower can change its source, and no matter which world you go to, you can change the original breath and make it the same as the aborigines!"
"Aborigines?"
Zhou Yu was stunned, could this high priest also be a person from outside the world?
"Don't doubt the old man, I'll tell you another news, you people outside the world have all been wanted by the kingdom!"
The words of the high priest exploded in Zhou Yu's ears like thunder, what? We are wanted?
"Then why didn't the townspeople react when they saw me?"
The old man didn't say more, a scroll appeared out of thin air and floated towards Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu took it and opened it, it was full of wanted names and portraits, like a tablet, which could be slid left and right, and soon Zhou Yu saw his wanted warrant, as well as other players'.
This has to make Zhou Yu believe that the information is too detailed, and everyone's portraits are there, especially the high-level toys are basically marked in red, and the key is wanted!
"Can a wanted be revoked?"
"Yes, you can be king!"
"So how do you avoid being wanted?"
"If you die, you won't be wanted!"
Zhou Yu feels a little tired, can this still have a pleasant chat?
"Last question, how can I find these people?"
"The scroll is equivalent to a compass, and a point of light will appear to those wanted within a radius of thousands of miles."
"Why are you helping me?"
"Fate, okay, honorable, it's time for you to go!"
After saying this, Zhou Yu's eyes were full of flowers, there was no mountain cabin in front of him, and when he looked back, there was no town at all, everything was like a mirror, it was just a dream for Zhou Yu.
Taking a fancy to the scroll in his hand and the nine-petal transparent flower floating in front of him, Zhou Yu knew that everything that had just happened was not an illusion!
High Priest, strong and terrible!
Whatever the purpose of the high priest, at least for the time being, there was no hostility, looking at the scroll in his hand, at this time more than a dozen points of light were showing on it, and the speed was very fast, as if it was being hunted down.
Without thinking about it anymore, Zhou Yu rushed towards the direction where the light point moved, and after he left, the wooden house appeared on the spot, and the old man stroked the kitten and slowly spoke as if talking to himself
"Ziyu, do you think a chess piece can jump off the chessboard and become a chess player?"
"Meow!"
The old man smiled and said no more, and the wooden house became quiet and serene again.
……
"Quick, get out, damn it, how did they find us?"
Zhai Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, at first they were quite happy to meet, but it didn't take long for them to meet a group of government troops, and they couldn't help but say that they were going to capture them, how could a few people sit still and resist immediately, but they didn't expect to get rid of a batch of people and a batch.
Later, I met several Asian players, and more than a dozen people fled together, although there were more people and the target was bigger, but at this time, everyone did not dare to separate, for fear of being broken by each one.
"Seems to have something to do with what they have on them? Similar trackers! ”
Kim Jae-xu, a South Korean player, said that he and several domestic players also met a group of people from China in the process of escaping, and the two groups began to flee together.
"Damn, hurry up, they're catching up again!"
At the same time, in the territory of the Rock Kingdom, such a scene of escape and pursuit is staged everywhere, from time to time players are eliminated, and some players counterattack and kill many aborigines.
In a short period of time, 600,000 players are being eliminated at an astonishing rate.
The number on a reciprocal timer in the upper left corner of the outside world is changing rapidly, from 600,000 at the beginning to 550,000 now, and the time has only been an hour!
In an hour, 50,000 players were eliminated! And the time flow ratio is one to twelve, one day in the outside world, and 12 days in the dungeon!
