Chapter 13: Ancient Legends
Isn't the reason why many brave people are summoned because the Void is on sale? What's so strange about that? Lin Xiaoyue's nerves were big enough that she was not interested in the plot of the game at all, and asked casually, "What is the general's grave?" ”
The village chief took a sip of tea and continued: "When it comes to the general's tomb, we can't help but mention the legendary anti-demon holy war a thousand years ago. ”
"Anti-demon holy war... Oh ~ uh-huh, you say. Lin Xiaoyue nodded her little head like a chicken pecking rice, and listened carefully.
"Legend has it that in that time of immense time, the goddess Ilnia suddenly descended into the world, and with her incredible power and unparalleled vision, she led our ancestors to establish the vast kingdom of God, Diriath. However, the prosperous and beautiful kingdom of God is coveted by the empress of the demonic abyss. More than 1,000 years ago, the Empress led her demons to launch an unprecedented invasion of the Kingdom of God. That great war, which lasted for nearly 50 years, was full of wars and bloodshed, and even now, the remnants of the tragic battlefields of those years can still be seen everywhere on the mainland. ”
The village chief's gray beard trembled slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes, thinking that it was indeed an unimaginably cruel war.
"Abyss demons are very powerful, some of them are so large that they can trample several human warriors to death with a single kick; Some are so fast that they can melt into the darkness and attack our valiant human generals; There are also the elites of the demon race, who control the evil magical energy, and can resist the ruthless fire and water, causing us to suffer immeasurable losses. Despite the resistance of our ancestors, there were still many casualties. There are even some indigenous races of the kingdom of God who have succumbed to the claws of demons and aided demons in their abuse! ”
In that case, shouldn't this area have been occupied by demons a long time ago? Why do humans fight demons? Xiao Anxin thought to himself.
But this is definitely not the case, otherwise he and the others would not have been "summoned" by Ilnia.
"Ho, you must be wondering, how did the ancestors of our God Kingdom defeat such powerful monsters?"
Xiao An was startled when he heard the village chief say this.
This NPC character designed by Mijia, the AI is so high? Could it be that you can't see what you say!
Or did you already guess what the player would think?
The village chief didn't care about Xiao An's surprise, and continued: "Under the flames of war, our ancestors united other races that rose up to fight to form the original resistance army. The goddess Ilnia is equal in strength to the empress, and there is always a difference between victory and defeat when fighting. However, the monsters under the command of the empress were raging, and the goddess felt extremely sad for the countless dead and injured people in addition to the battle. The Goddess selected ten brave and powerful warriors from the resistance, taught them supreme divine powers, and gave them powerful weapons to become the key force in that war. ”
"Those ten great warriors are called the guardians of the gods, the heroes of the kingdom of God, and to this day, the legends of the ten heroes are still circulating on the mainland. They obeyed the will of the goddess, taught the other ancestors to awaken the hidden power, learned to use the holy and powerful divine power, and finally successfully resisted the invasion of demons, and even recaptured many lost territories at one point... The first of the Ten Heroes, although he is a human being, is by far the most powerful swordsman in the Kingdom of God, known as the strongest under God! ”
Speaking of this, the village chief paused, his eyes revealing an extremely respectful expression.
"The first of the top ten heroes? Wow~ so handsome! Lin Xiaoyue was not interested in the background story at first, but at this moment, she was already fascinated, and asked with a glow in her eyes: "And then!" And then what! ”
"Miss Lin unknowingly asked an eternal puzzle!" The village chief sighed and said, "According to the stone carvings left by an ancient ruin, under the leadership of that great hero, the demon army was defeated one after another, but for some reason, one day the goddess suddenly left the kingdom of God with the body of that hero. ”
Body? He's dead? Lin Xiaoyue and Han Jingyi looked at each other, but such a dramatic turn was never expected.
Isn't the first hero close to the existence of God, and I don't know why he died so suddenly? Didn't the goddess save him either? Xiao An was also puzzled, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"This old decay is unknown, there are different opinions on this matter, the most convincing theory is that the Abyss Empress and the Goddess fought to the death, and when they were both killed, the hero desperately blocked the final blow for the Goddess! Anyway, after that, the Abyss Empress never appeared again. The remaining nine heroes led the resistance and successfully defeated the demon army. However, the nine heroes are lacking in skills, so there are still many monsters that have not been completely destroyed, and the general's tomb under our Luoxia Island is one of them! ”
Later, the goddess returned to the kingdom of God and sealed all the demon lands with great divine power, making those places a place of trial for the brave. Since then, the goddess has never shown her holy face, and only devout believers can listen to her guidance through her idols! The village chief made a gesture of prayer and closed his eyes in prayer with great reverence.
Awesome backstory! Thousands of years of epic poetry is really grand enough.
Xiao An was amazed in his heart, but after thinking about it, it is said that if we warriors are "called" over, there is a chance that the war will start again? Xiao An immediately looked forward to it, but he couldn't mention it to the village chief, otherwise according to the urine nature of this game, it would be strange if the old village chief didn't go out with a broom!
"Village Chief, what do you want us to do?" Han Jingyi also came back to her senses from the grand background story, and saw that Xiao An still didn't mean to speak, so she asked out loud.
"Recently, the entrance to the general's tomb is a little unstable for some reason, and there is a faint evil aura escaping out, a few days ago, two kingdom guards went in to investigate, but for some reason there is no trace of it, and the remaining two guards need to guard the village and can't get out, so the old man hopes that the three warriors can go to the general's tomb to investigate and see what is going on." The old village chief spoke earnestly, and said in a deep voice: "This is dangerous, if the three warriors feel embarrassed, the old man will not force it, I don't know what the three of them want?" ”
"To go or not?"
The Elder Devil's Land... As soon as you hear it, it's not a safe place, and it's not necessarily whether you go in from the entrance or not. Han Jingyi didn't expect the task assigned by the village chief to be so dangerous, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she couldn't help but ask Xiao An.
"Go, why don't you go." Xiao An thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and triggered the hidden task, where is the reason not to answer? Even if it sounds dangerous, it's a beginner's area, so it's impossible not to have a chance to complete it. Besides, the task is just to find two people, and it doesn't have to be a fight, so I nodded at the moment.
Seeing that they agreed, the village chief did not look happy, but instructed with some concern: "The three warriors must be careful, if you can't do anything, please don't force it, return it in time, we will consider it in the long run." ”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded impatiently, waved her hand and said, "Oh, okay, okay, don't grind, you can tell me what the reward is for bringing him out!" ”
As she spoke, she suddenly wrinkled her little nose, raised her eyebrows and said vigilantly: "By the way, what about the reward for killing the knife dog?" Take it out, you're not going to pay the bills, are you? ”
This thin bamboo pole, the intestines are as straight as the bamboo pole, and I don't know how to be euphemistic when I speak, but I like it.
Xiao An and Han Jingyi looked at each other and smiled, of course everyone wants to know about this kind of thing, but even in the game, it is not easy to ask each other directly due to the rather heavy scene at this time, but Lin Xiaoyue has always been straightforward, and she didn't take this aspect into account at all, but it was just right for her to speak, and it seemed very natural...
The village chief was stunned by the thin bamboo pole's question, and then laughed and said: "Ho ho, Miss Lin is too worried, but she just talked about the legend, and she forgot about it for a while." ”
"Three warriors, please come with me." The village chief put up his cane and went out of the door.
Xiao An and the others followed the village chief around to the back of the house, only to find that there was a locked hut behind the house.
Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her little head to look at the window, and found that there was a wooden weapon rack in the room, on which were placed a lot of knives, guns and sticks.
"This is a weapon that our villagers in Luoxia stumbled upon in the past, and they are all stored here." The village chief opened the door of the house and introduced: "Because our Luoxia Island is located overseas, monsters are still very rare, so these weapons are useless, so let's choose one each." In addition, the old man is in charge, how about giving this Han girl another piece? ”
Ha? Lin Xiaoyue's little nose wrinkled slightly, obviously very dissatisfied.
Fortunately, the old village chief's extra gift was Han Jingyi, she thought about it carefully, but she didn't burst into emotions, otherwise she would not have rushed up directly to pull out his goatee.
"Humph!" Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly, stepped into the room with a black face, but soon her expression changed, she didn't look at other weapons, she directly took a silver-white long sword, looked at it over and over, and said lovingly: "Can you also take this sword?" ”
"Ho, of course." The old village chief stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This sword was picked up on the sea by the old grandson when he went out to sea to fish, and I don't know what kind of material it is, it can actually float on the water, it is really a magical thing, and it may be the guidance of Lord Ilnia to give it to the Lin warriors!" ”
Xiao An also glanced at it, secretly admired, just looking at the appearance, the shape of this sword is indeed impeccable, the total length is about four feet, the hilt of the sword is blue like water, the sword grid is quite wide, the hollow carving is like a work of art, and there is a crystal-like water blue ornament embedded in the center of the sword grid. Looking down further, the tip of the sword is designed in the shape of a half-diamond, and there is a faint flash of cold light, thinking that it is not only beautiful in appearance.
Sword of the Moon-Rah (15): This sword is characterized by its thin blade and ornate ornamentation unique to the Moon-La clan. Made of metal unique to the kingdom of Haiyuera, it is so light that it can even float in the water. Although the attack power is not high, the durability is very good. Because of its noble and stunning appearance, it was sought after by many aristocratic women.
"The Haiyuela clan?" The more Lin Xiaoyue looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she carefully looked at the instructions in the soul card and muttered.
"You say the Haiyuela tribe?" The village chief was very surprised, and suddenly said: "This is the weapon of the Haiyuela people, so it is, it is better to be famous than to meet." ”
"What are the Haiyuela tribes?" Han Jingyi took the sword of Haiyuela, even if she didn't like fighting, she still couldn't put down this art-like weapon, so she asked curiously.
"Ho, Haiyuela clan, the origin is big! Legend has it that one of the Nine Great Guardians of the Water is Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Haiyuela royal family. The village chief's eyes showed some reminiscence, "When I was old and young, I had the privilege of seeing the women of the Haiyuela tribe... Legend has it that they are the descendants of even older gods, with divine blood flowing through their bodies, and every member of the Haiyuela tribe is a pearl-like beauty, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has royal blood, has a stunning beauty comparable to that of Lord Ilnia! ”
"Sin, sin, Goddess, your pious people have no intention of offending, and please forgive your ignorant people!" The village chief came back to his senses, but he was shocked, and hurriedly folded his hands and prayed with all his heart.
