Chapter 43: The Dawn Is Approaching
I didn't understand the exorcist, but his chattering look made me think things were turning around.
"Don't worry about it, he won't let you pass in front of that door, naturally he left a bag for you there, it's just that you kid is very stupid and can't understand life or death."
I haven't seen the village chief make any moves in this matter, but until now, the various gods and demons that have appeared are competing for the method, but under the background, he is the one with the greatest ability, as if the whole thing has been under his calculation from beginning to end, although the person is not here, but everything has already been settled.
Give me the Soul Bowl, give me the [Dust Curse], use the old lady to drive me to find the exorcist, and then leave a back road for me to use at a critical time.
Village chief, I'm afraid you're not the reincarnation of Guo Jia, Kong Ming, and Sima Yi!
While it was dark, the exorcist and I reached the door of the village council, and he knocked on the lock, looked up at me, and pointed to the wall beside him.
I nodded heartily, and then walked over to the wall to snap the rope, trying to find some mechanism.
And just as I was bending down to look for clues, a big strong foot suddenly stepped on my back, and the huge weight quickly pressed on my back, almost trampling me to the ground.
After the weight passed, I angrily looked up at the exorcist sitting on the wall, but he reached out to pull me.
"I thought you asked me to come to the agency, but you used me as a stepping stone!"
"You ran over and bent down for me to step on, why are you blaming me? I didn't say anything like that for you to find a mechanism! ”
I didn't continue to argue with him, I gave him a blank look, grabbed his hand and dragged him against the wall.
"Now, try to walk towards the gate."
Jumping out of the courtyard, the empty house was deserted, and the exorcist pointed to the gate not far away, telling me to do what he wanted.
I trotted along, and as I passed the edge of the gate, it was as if I had entered another place, the same gate, the same courtyard.
I turned my head to see that the exorcist was no longer behind me, but a familiar person was caressing his white beard and looking at me.
"Village Chief??
I was in disbelief at what I saw, and I hurriedly took a few steps back towards the village chief, only to find that the figure had turned back into an exorcist.
The abrupt status quo makes me wonder how to make a conclusion about the situation in front of me, obviously it is the same place, the same courtyard, and further is the village chief, but he takes a step back and becomes an exorcist.
"Confining the soul provokes the king of Hades, deceiving the sky and laughing at the immortals."
"The mediocre do not know things, and the sages are suffering and seeking."
The exorcist smiled and chanted a few difficult lines of poetry, then waved my hand and told me to go back to the edge of the door.
I nodded, re-established myself on the edge of the door, replaced the Exorcist's place as the village chief, and walked towards me with a beaming spirit.
"Since the imperial city is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust, we are dedicated to the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is playing with us, and the old man is also helpless, and now the law can only be broken and then established."
"Break and stand?"
Although I can't understand the meaning of Xuanxu thoroughly, I also roughly understood the meaning of the village chief.
"Now that the Dementor has fallen into the Imperial City, they will inevitably forcibly summon the Soul Destroyer to resurrect, and at that time, we will use the Soul Woman to get rid of the Imperial City's eyeliner and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman, so for now, we only need to assist them with all our strength to resurrect the Soul Woman."
The village chief's words were a bit vicious, and although they were justified, they did not take into account the disasters that the villagers might bear.
The Dementor is the Great Devil, and resurrecting again will definitely not be as easy to defeat as the first time, if it really can't be contained, then it will definitely be these villagers and players who will be frustrated.
It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just a game, I don't have so many children.
The reason why I think about it this way is because the village chief in front of me who has vicious methods is completely different from the village chief I knew before who cares about the people, and the strange attitude makes me wonder.
I smiled awkwardly and shook my head slightly.
"Are you refusing?" Seeing my attitude, the village chief's face darkened a little.
"You misunderstood, I just wanted to ask you a question? If your goal is really to completely eliminate the Dementor Woman, then you should have started the seal in the first place, and you have to wait until now that the tiger is about to return to the mountain, and then you think of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, then you are too old and confused? ”
Before my ridiculous words fell, the village chief raised a puff of dust and rushed straight to me, and his dark palm was pinched into powerful claws and went straight towards me, and such an abrupt attack made me only have time to take out the Changhong sword to stab, and I couldn't defend it, so I could only attack and defend.
"Bundle!"
A loud shout exploded in my ears, and the fierce figure of the village chief was suddenly restrained in place and could not move, and then the heavens and the earth peeled off as if they had been torn open a transparent package, and the original courtyard was restored in front of my eyes, and the exorcist was standing there with his own spell casting action.
He flew forward and grabbed a crystal spinning ball of light from behind me, and fixed his eyes on the Dementor who was the dementor who had successfully sealed the village chief's son and daughter-in-law with his life.
"This old stone! Hiding this thing here? What a daredevil! ”
The exorcist held the orb and sighed at the cunning of the village chief.
"Congratulations to the player Xingyu for successfully lifting the seal of the Soul Detention Bowl."
I was overjoyed by the sudden hint, and I hurriedly pulled out my Soul Bowl to see what the so-called seal had been lifted.
【Soul Bowl】:

me??
Can this thing be upgraded?
The extra attribute out of thin air, the corners of my mouth are about to hang on to the root of my ears, and somehow there is such a powerful attribute, how can I not be happy?
At the same time, a small extra note in the backpack caught my attention.
【Village Chief's Souvenir 2】
"It's a long road, only by keeping the original intention unchanged can we see through the fog, the soul dementorship is just a trick, see through the dust, see through the blur, in order to find the truth, I have seen through all this, just wait for the time to come."
After reading it, the souvenir turned into ashes and scattered in the palm of my hand.
"The choice is yours, young man." The exorcist came over and patted me on the shoulder, holding the orb in front of me and asking me.
I didn't know how to answer, I just looked at him.
"Do we trade this for the drugstore owner and the kid, or do we go and find a way to destroy the Dementor?"
"Let's change people."
I didn't hesitate and happily chose the former.
"Why? Aren't you afraid that this dementor will bring disaster to the world again? "The exorcist was inclined to the latter, he really didn't understand why I was so risky.
Actually, I wouldn't have chosen this way at first, but now that the mission has come to this, I have a clear understanding.
If there really is a way to eliminate this dementor, then the village chief's son and daughter-in-law will not spend their lives to change the seal, and the village chief will not hide this thing here all the time.
The reason why we can still find the magic orb that sealed the dementor is definitely used to change people.
The exorcist really has a way, will the village chief not go to him?
It's not brain-dead, the first option is obviously a dead end, and the illusory shadow of the village chief just now has given too obvious a hint.
Break and then stand.
Only when we go to a dead end can we survive in a desperate situation.
"Go back and tell your lord, just say that I have what he wants, to exchange hostages!"
At the door of the guards' station, the exorcist and I stood there scolding the guards at the door, completely devoid of the polite attitude we had before, and were full of disdain.
"Sure enough, haha!"
Behind the door, the captain of the guard walked out with the knife, and there were guards standing on both sides, and at first glance, there were at least twenty people.
"I can't find you, but you will send it to the door yourself! First gave me the Soul Grass, and then gave it to the Dementor Woman personally, if I ask for a credit for you, you can also sit with a captain! Hahahaha......"
The scattered laughter made me a little annoyed, and I didn't hit someone in the face, is it interesting to keep mentioning this stubble.
"We want that kid and that pharmacy owner, otherwise, you won't want to get the Dementor." The exorcist is also an impatient and has a very tough attitude.
"No problem, we adults have always been open-minded, you will give you whoever you want, beggars, just send it away."
The ridicule of one of the guards once again ignited their laughter, and the scene of the villain's triumph was particularly vivid.
"How could they be so happy? Is there a fraud? "The exorcist whispered in my ear, unable to fathom the thoughts of the guards.
But I already know it in my heart.
Naturally, they didn't care about these hostages, all they wanted was the Soul Grass and the Dementor Woman.
As for the flesh, isn't that something you get out of hand?
I've been wondering why the village chief disappeared for no reason, and why he left so many clues in advance.
It wasn't until the guard reminded me to look at the mission list that I understood what had happened.
The village chief realized the hostility of the imperial city towards him, so he gave me everything that could be given to me very early, information, supplies.
In order to find clues, I asked all the NPCs in the village, and except for the village chief, everyone else followed their lives unharmed.
And now, if these guards want to release the Dementor Mother, they must have a physical body.
If the pharmacy owner and the child can be released, then there will only be one person in the flesh in their hands.
Chief.
The village chief knows too many things, and uses the village chief to do this flesh, killing two birds with one stone, getting rid of hidden dangers, and completing the task.
And the guard specially reminded me to look at the mission list, so that I would not link the disappearance of the village chief to them.
Cover people's eyes.
Originally, it was all speculation, but it wasn't until now that they agreed to release the hostages they had worked so hard to get the Dementor that I realized why they had nothing to fear.
Still, I'm not panicking.
In fact, the task has already been arranged for the plot that should be taken, and what I have to do is to find all the clues and complete the task.
The reason has been explained by a message from the village chief, "I have seen all this, and I just have to wait for the time to come." ”
He calculated the whole situation, and until now, all I have to do is follow his plan.
The owner of the pharmacy appeared at the door of the garrison with the child in his arms, and was pushed by the guards, and the orb containing the dementor in our hand was taken by them.
Without time to pay attention to those of us who had lost their worth, the guards all returned to the door and closed it tightly.
The exorcist and I hurried back to the pharmacy with the child and the pharmacy owner, and the first priority was to get the child back from the poisoning.
Without the soul-losing spell under the Imperial City, the child only showed signs of poisoning, and the pharmacy owner couldn't care about the pain all over his body, so he boiled a lot of medicine and fed the child.
complexion, gradually getting better.
The drugstore owner wiped the sweat from his head, his face full of joy at saving his life from Hades.
He rested for a moment, took out a box from where he lived, and inside was a moon-white flower, stroked it gently in his hand, and handed it to me.
"Player Xingyu completes the hidden mission: [Confusing], gain experience points *100000, [Jishi Flower] *1."
[Jishi Flower]: Flowers can emit a bright breath under the light, this breath can concretize the body odor of the beast, and those who have smelled the fragrance of flowers can gain the ability to heal others in a short period of time, lasting ten minutes.
Is there really such a flower??
I always thought that the [Scroll of Calming] was made up.
The [Night Flower] is still lying in my backpack, and I haven't used it again.
I took it out and compared it with this [Jishi Flower] to see if there was any connection between them, but there was nothing in common other than the introduction of almost the same attributes.
The owner of the pharmacy took two flowers from my hand and looked at them as if he had found something that was hard to find.
According to legend, there was once a peerless master in Yinxian Village, who lived incognito here for a long time, until the end of his life, when the sky fell a different color, and people knew his ability to reach the sky.
He spent the rest of his life living in seclusion here, and it was precisely because he took a fancy to this place that was located above the eye of the Zhensoul Mountain Range, and had a unique aura, he refined the light, planted the [Jishi Flower], refined the night, planted the [Night Flower], and refined the dusk and early morning, and planted the [Yin and Yang Flower]. [Jishi Flower] was accidentally obtained by my ancestors and has been passed down to the present; [Night Flower] is planted in the Valley of Poisonous Insects and is occupied by the monsters in the valley; Only the [Yin and Yang Flower] is missing.
Later generations wrote this incident in the story of the village, which has been passed down to this day, and this village is called Yinxian Village; The [Soul Scroll] that the captain of the guard tricked you into fooling you was just a random storybook that added a few names to fool you. ”
The boss handed me back the two flowers and explained the legend of the three flowers.
I was a little uncomfortable to hear...... and I racked my brains to solve the clues, but I was tricked by someone using a storybook.
"Whew!!"
The slightly relaxed atmosphere was disturbed by a long roar in the distance.
The guards were stationed, followed by a terrible sound.
