Chapter 48: The Truth (1)
Tang Yan had been waiting at the gate of the village early, a few minutes ago Eric was teleported to the village by a light, with a relieved expression on his face, and shouted a word of joy after seeing him, but before he could jump out of the second sentence, he was killed by a fire palm from Nomi who was passing by.
Nomi is the cook in the village, and he never relies on firewood to make a fire.
The words Eric left for him before he left were "go to the entrance of the village", and he did.
It didn't take long for him to feel Surya getting closer.
A group of people still had a look of horror on their faces that had not yet disappeared, and they were followed by a tall figure, just dressed strangely, wearing a red turban and a torn jacket.
Tang Yan stared carefully for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Old, old Xu?"
"Old Don?"
Xu Fu also walked forward quickly, and the two hugged each other.
"I don't know why, I'm so happy to see you, as if you've ever been lost." Xu Fu's excited snot bubbles were about to pop up.
Tang Yan's heart sank, didn't he remember that he was taken away by someone with Cantusha?
But he still didn't change his face and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the lost person is obviously you, okay?" ”
Hearing the voice, the rest of the village also gathered around, expressing the joy of the reunion, only to catch a glimpse of the back of the group of people in Surya and suddenly became nervous.
"Who are these people?" Nomi's palms were already starting to spark.
"They brought me back," Xu Fu explained, "I was trapped in the snow, and they saved me." ”
"Don't worry, they're not bad people, they're not hostile." Tang Yan also echoed. "I vouch for my life."
With the help of the two of them, the villagers of Snow Town reluctantly accepted the crowd, and the cook named Nomi kept his eyes glued and did not relax for a moment, as if he was worried about their sudden attack.
"What you're making is burning." Uno said to Nomi suddenly, his tone determined.
"What?" Nomi was incredulous at first, then shrugged his nose, his face changed drastically, and immediately ran away.
A few minutes later, he walked out with a plate of charred black and cursed, and collapsed into the bucket next to him. The barrels were almost full, and they were all black as charcoal.
Tang Yan whispered to Surya that since the attack on the village, Nomi had been unable to control the flames in his palm, and that the food he had made was very tasty before, but now there was nothing to eat except soot roasted corn.
Surya instinctively saw that this was another clue.
---------------
In the viewing space, Eric, who saw this scene, said like a commentator:
"Next, they'll go to Qiulan's house and summon her using Cantusha. Her house should be empty, just like Tang Yan's house in the birch forest outside the village. ”
It's just that he didn't notice that Shans's expression was a little strange when he mentioned "Cantusha".
He seemed to know about it, and wasn't too surprised by its appearance.
Eric guessed right, and Sullya and his party did the same. At Qiu Lan's former residence, before she could take the initiative to summon her, the latter jumped out of Cantusha and slowly regained her memory.
But equally, she can only recall her years as a scroll keeper and her life in Snow Town, ending with that powerful interloper. But because she was taken away after Tang Yan, she still remembers that the sky changed color, someone exchanged fire with the intruder, and the aftermath nearly destroyed the world.
Hearing this, Eric glanced at Shans, who suspected that it was this guy who was fighting the intruder. So according to that, he lost?
However, Shansi still looked the same, with a smile on his face, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
……
The new joiner of the team shows Suria and the others another route - Xu Fu, who is good at tinkering with some gadgets, can make new kitchen utensils for Nomi to help him suppress the angry flames. But some materials are needed to make new kitchen utensils, and this clue leads to Tang Yan, because only after exploring the thousands of miles around the village did he know where the metal was.
So everyone went out under the leadership of Tang Yan to look for this special metal.
……
"If I get closer to Nomi, I can hear him say that he wants to 'push the limits of taste.'" Eric explained that they had learned about this from Tang Yan before. "It's a devil's pepper, and only Qiu Lan knows where it is—unfortunately, she's one of us."
"Qiu Lan is a pharmacist in the village, and she also uses swordsmanship, and she is also beautiful, and she is kind to everyone, even Tang Yan doesn't know her true wishes, I can imagine that she exists as the most difficult link - that is, the last task, but now she is our person.
The writer seemed to be getting more and more into the state, and he patted Shans on the shoulder, "See, this is the disadvantage I mentioned before, after mastering one of the links, the whole task chain is much less difficult for us, if it is two links, it will be unimpeded." If you enrich the elements, you can dilute the benefits of cheating.
"You can get 200 exp for completing everyone's wishes, Tang Yan, Qiu Lan, Kelly, Nomi, this is already 800, and finally helped Xu Fu build a boat and send him to the eastern coastline, which is when we complete this link."
"Smack", Eric snapped his fingers and bowed deeply like an actor in a stage play.
"That's my answer, it's show time, Mr. Shans, I'm curious what the Third Ring Trial will be, and can the two of us still watch it like this?"
Shans didn't answer, he was still laughing, but it was worse than crying.
This caused a faint unease in the hearts of Eric and Ricky.
"You're right, you have Cantusha, you brought back 41 testers who used to live here, but were taken captive, even the next link will not bother you, because most of them are in Cantusha, and the previous setting will recall them, let them regain their memories and remember everything they have been through."
Shans muttered, a warm liquid sliding down his eyes.
Do skeletons have tears...... Eric was scolding in his heart, but Shans's words shocked him even more.
How did he know how many scroll keepers there were in Cantushari?
Excluding Youelo and Arthur, who were among Leoric, and Silio, who was rescued by Suria, there were exactly forty-one of the forty-four keepers......
Although after Tang Yan and Qiu Lan showed their familiarity with this place, they had already guessed that the scroll keeper had a relationship here, but since the scroll keeper's soul was acquired, no one dared to think that Kantusha had anything to do with the dark abyss, but they just thought that there were many powerful individuals living here before.
Since everyone intervened in this trial, they have gathered all their curiosity and pinned their hopes on the answers they get after clearing the level, but they didn't expect that there seems to be a tendency to get answers in advance......
"I have a question, Mr. Eric." Shans spoke. "If you have a very good group of friends—"
"There is no 'if', I have it now." Eric interrupted.
Shansi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I apologize for my verbal offense." So if now they are in eternal pain, you are the only one who can save them, but as a way to save you need to hurt them, you ...... Will it do so? ”
"Of course not, if I were your friend, I would beat you up when I knew the truth." Ricky replied, "Since we are friends, why don't you tell them, why don't you bear it with them, and you must bear all the pressure and blame alone like a sad savior, and then let them feel guilty if they know the truth?" ”
"I don't like your answer."
Shance's smile vanished, and with a wave of his finger, Ricky was ejected from the space.
……
The people of Tallinn only felt a flower in front of them, and when they woke up again, they were already sitting on the grass. Overhead, there was a pale golden sky, and around him was a milky mist, but not as thick as on the snowy fields, but as mellow as milk.
But that's not the point, the point is that there are two more women in front of him who are fighting each other.
"Hi guys......"
He raised his hand in embarrassment.
