Chapter Forty-Four: Artifact, [Deceptive Heaven and Soul Bowl]!
The streets were filled with NPCs and players who were startled by the strange noise, and people stopped and looked at the guards in their place, looking at each other as if they were what was happening.
The exorcist and I raced through the scattered crowd and headed straight for there.
Kicking open the gate, there were a lot of guards in the courtyard, all of them showing the color of the earth, trembling with their weapons and facing forward.
And at the gate of Nafu, the Dementor was standing there with a sneer and looking around at everyone.
The gate behind him suddenly closed, shielding the courtyard from the scene.
The exorcist behind me grabbed me by the shoulders and shoved me behind me, grabbed his peachwood sword and headed straight for the Dementor.
The Dementor raised her claws and came at her, causing the guards to duck on either side.
"Do it!"
Suddenly, the exorcist shouted as if premeditated, and then turned his head towards the bewildered guards, and the peachwood sword flew up and down, causing a splash of blood in the courtyard.
In the chaos, I was the only one standing in front of the gate dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
And the Dementor Woman, who was still coming towards this side just now, suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
Beside me, a soldier suddenly appeared and came straight for me, but he did not hold a weapon.
Just as I took out the Changhong Sword and prepared to defend myself, the soldier rushed to me and spoke in a low voice, the old voice of which I was all too familiar with.
"Stinky boy, don't move."
Chief!
The exorcist has some strong combat power, so that these guards are completely unable to resist, after a sword dance, the fireball is fixed, the idle guards have been eliminated, only the seriously injured guard captain himself, fell to the ground and looked at the exorcist in horror with his wounds covered.
"You thought you were catching them all, but you didn't expect it to be a turtle in an urn."
The exorcist laughed heartily, a look of success in his plan.
"Brake!"
The peachwood sword carried the sound of the wind and stabbed the captain who was still alive in place.
In the courtyard, only the three of us remained.
And the guard beside me shook his body, and suddenly changed back to the appearance of the village chief.
"Player Xingyu completes the hidden quest [Path of Benevolence] and obtains experience points *200,000."
"Congratulations on your upgrade, current level 23."
The village chief touched his beard with a smile, and the tacit smile of the exorcist made me even more dazed.
"Don't dwell on it, it's over, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. In order to obtain the Dementor for war, the premise of the Imperial City is to sacrifice the Hidden Virtuous Village to nourish the Dementor as nourishment for the Dementor; I thought that you foreign knights would have ended the matter by getting rid of the Dementor Woman, but the Imperial City did not give up, and tried every possible way to unseal the Dementor Woman, as the head of a village, how could I sit back and watch the life of the whole village be in danger? After that, there was a plan to conspire with this old stubborn. The village chief succinctly explained the story flow of the mission, which is no different from the steps of ordinary NPCs.
There are antecedents and consequences, and I have personally experienced the entire mission plot, and I generally know a lot.
The Imperial City has a way to unseal the Dementor Woman, and the village chief was deliberately arrested, the main purpose is to go towards this imperial city secret method, and I don't know the more esoteric reasons, the only thing that is clear is that I became the village chief's partner who arranged to cooperate with the exorcists.
And the village chief's change technique just now made me suddenly understand another reason why the village chief did not hesitate to take such a big risk to enter the tiger's den.
Hide from the world.
When the guards got all the materials from their superiors, the captured village chief naturally became the body of the resurrected dementor, and the village chief, who was skilled in the art of change, could become the dementor and pretend to have been successfully sacrificed to deceive the guards.
The purpose of the Imperial City is to resurrect the Dementor Woman, and those guards naturally dare not easily hurt it, so that the safety of the village chief is guaranteed.
Then, there was the eye-catching roar just now.
First, it's to give us a message.
The second is to let the whole village be an audience.
When I came to this airtight courtyard, the gate was closed, and what happened in the courtyard was naturally unknown to the outside.
The guards lure the wolf into the house, and the exorcists can go on a killing spree in this hidden place, killing all the guards sent by the imperial city.
Get rid of the Imperial City's arms in this village.
According to my reasoning, the village chief can then announce such a thing to the village in his capacity as the head of the village.
"The Dementor is treacherous, changing into a guard and lurking in the village, and when the time is ripe, he kills these guards who protect the village, but fortunately, this exorcist saw through the Dementor's tricks, so he came here in time to completely eliminate the Dementor and rescue the village chief who was secretly captured by the Dementor."
Not only has it cleared the eyes and ears of the Imperial City, but it can also blame the Dementor for these things, and if it is convenient, I can even count the ranking of destroying the Dementor to me.
And the whole village, young and old, is the witness.
The guards were scattered throughout the village, and if they were to be killed, they would certainly cause a riot in the village, and it would be too easy to expose themselves.
Therefore, I can only use the resurrection of this dementor to gather those guards here and kill them all.
After understanding what was going on, and looking at the village chief and the exorcist, I only had the image of two scheming old foxes in my eyes.
And the village chief, who had been whispering for a long time, took out the magic ball that sealed the dementor from his sleeve at some point, and the exorcist took the thing, took off many objects on his body, and arranged them in a strange shape on the ground.
Then the two old foxes sat opposite each other on either side of the orb, chanting incantations they did not understand.
The orb slowly rotated, and the dementor woman inside gradually became transparent, slowly turning into an indiscernible gray.
Then, the spell slowly slowed down, and the magic ball gradually stopped spinning, and the dementor woman inside had disappeared, leaving only a half-black and half-hundred-like flower like Tai Chi, which was quietly placed in the ball.
"Sure enough, this witch is really that thing has become a spirit!" The exorcist picked up the orb and said with some excitement.
The village chief took the orb from his hand, turned around and handed it to me.
The crystal ball is held in the palm of my hand, a little warm, but I always feel a little cold, and the strangely shaped flower also makes me look a little fascinated.
[Yin and Yang Flower]: A strange flower, as if it contains some mysterious power.
"Player Xingyu completes the hidden mission [Vicissitudes of the Righteous Path] and gains experience points *200,000."
The various miscellaneous tasks have come to fruition, and combined with the legend told us by the owner of the drugstore, there is an explanation for the origin of the dementor.
Back then, the hermit master should have had the ability to refine yin and yang; Even if it's just the flowers that are grown, you can cultivate into this kind of big demon.
Sighing at the vast mystery between heaven and earth, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and there are too many powerful things that I can't touch waiting for me to explore.
"Take out the soul bowl." The village chief motioned to me, and I nodded, handing the Soul Bowl to the village.
I saw the village chief holding the soul bowl and saying something, and the soul bowl flashed a brilliant light, and then the village chief gave me back.
"I borrowed part of the divine power on this bowl before, and now I have given it to you, and I will return it to Zhao completely."

"God!! Artifact!! ”
After pretending to be serious all night, I finally couldn't hold back my emotions and couldn't help but exclaim.
It turned out that the village chief's change technique was exactly what he used [Heaven Deception Technique], and eighty percent of that skill was learned from the dementor woman, no wonder I felt that this change technique was a little familiar.
"Village chief, I haven't found the person I'm looking for."
"Hehe, that person, isn't that you?"
Of course I know the answer, knowingly asking is just to satisfy my vanity, and it has reached the point where this real master, who else can I be!
"The artifact is being confirmed, please confirm whether or not to conclude a contract."
As soon as the artifact bowl arrived in my hand, a system prompt arrived.
"Yes."
"The artifact is successfully recognized, and the player Xingyu obtains the lifelong right to use the Soul Bowl, and the item cannot be dropped, damaged, traded, gifted, or stolen by any means."
"Player Xingyu obtains the first artifact of recognizing the master, gaining experience points *1,200,000, gold coins *500, and personal reputation *10,000."
"Congratulations on your upgrade, current level 24."
"Congratulations on your upgrade, current level 25."
At the same time, the system announcement was suddenly remembered overhead, scrolling back and forth, alarming the attention of all online players.
"Congratulations to the players of Huangfu City for obtaining the first Lord Recognition Artifact on the whole server! Gain Gold*500, Personal Reputation*10000. ”
"Congratulations to the players of Huangfu City for obtaining the first Lord Recognition Artifact on the whole server! Gain Gold*500, Personal Reputation*10000. ”
"Congratulations to the players of Huangfu City for obtaining the first Lord Recognition Artifact on the whole server! Gain Gold*500, Personal Reputation*10000. ”
……
The momentum was too loud, and the high-profile publicity was somewhat contrary to my original intention of keeping a low profile.
Fortunately, the game didn't release my personal information, just anonymously promoting the first artifact to recognize the owner.
The considerable reward made me a little dumbfounded, not to mention the high experience point reward, the gold coins given alone, at the current exchange rate, are equivalent to giving me tens of thousands of red tickets.
Before this kind of scene, I should have written poems and lyrics to commend my great achievements.
Anyway, I don't have a high level of education, so I can only sigh in my mind with continuous "lying grooves" to sigh about my bitterness.
After calming down, I took out the flowers in my backpack, put them next to the [Yin and Yang Flowers], and asked the village chief with great magical powers, "Village chief, it is said that these three flowers have great magical powers, how do you think they should be placed?" ”
"The legend of these three flowers has been circulating in the village for so long, but today it was picked up by your child, we are shallow, and we don't have a big ability to help you integrate, I hope you can really find a master in the future to help you." The village chief was modest, but shook his head calmly.
For so many days, because this task really delayed my progress a lot, but fortunately, the task reward gave me a lot of compensation, and I still earned it.
Since I have no regrets, then I should set off tomorrow to fight in Shanhai Town, living in a small village, and it is difficult to make great achievements.
"Village chief, the matter has ended, and the younger generation is relieved, tomorrow morning, I want to go to that Shanhai Town."
Hearing what I said, the village chief didn't have any obvious expression, but the reluctance was vaguely visible between his eyebrows, and he just reluctantly advised: "The village is too small, it is difficult to achieve great success, if you make a difference in the future, don't forget to come back and see our two old bones." ”
"Stinky boy, take something and slip away, I have the style of the year!" The exorcist is very cheerful, but his tone is also very low.
The task finally came to an end, and after staying up all night until now, I suddenly felt a sense of relaxation all over my body, and sleepiness swept over my head.
"The village chief, uncle, the juniors will leave first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the village, we will clean up after ourselves."
I said goodbye to the village chief and the exorcist, and I went offline with a lot of money.
I took off my helmet and looked at the time, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and the strength of the red wine gradually hit my head, so that I had no strength to move again, so I just put the helmet on the table and fell asleep.
