Chapter 773: Ancient Legends in the Town
Rye Town, a remote town with a long history, has no history worth celebrating, except that rye, an important food and cash crop, has been rebuilt from the ruins after several wars. All in all, it's a dull and silent plain village. This situation did not change significantly until the appearance of Inhuman.
As a novice village, Rye Town can be regarded as one of the relatively wealthy villages, and the environment is relatively safe, which is favored by many life and business players. Brown bread, which can speed up the recovery of energy, and rye wine, which can speed up the recovery of mana, are continuously transported from this town to various places around the area, bringing the first barrel of gold coins in the game to many people.
Of course, the number of players is large, and the number of people who have a strong desire to explore will certainly increase. The vicinity of Rye Town has basically been turned upside down by players, and all kinds of hidden resources and props in the hands of NPCs have basically been squeezed clean. The only exception is a small grave in a forest just outside town. This kind of tomb looks unremarkable, untended for a long time, almost flattened, but in front of the tomb, there is a very special black tombstone, and it is engraved with words that obviously do not belong to the human kingdom.
Some players, with the dream of making a fortune, want to dig up this tomb and take the treasure inside, but it turns out that this tomb has a strong magic protection, and all the players who rob the tomb are killed by the guardian magic, and the attributes are permanently reduced. Although it doesn't drop much, it's enough to make people jealous.
After many failed attempts, the player's enthusiasm for tomb robbing finally faded, but as time went on, a new legend spread from somewhere, and it was said that this tomb was related to a hidden mission, and that great benefits could be obtained after completing the mission. As for how the quest is triggered, there are various theories, some say that it is worshiped during the full moon, some say that it is a special tribute, and there are various theories, but so far, no one has successfully triggered the mission.
……
"It's just ahead." The girl's voice sounded like a clear spring, and the two walked around the woods in front of them, and a small quiet clearing appeared in front of them, even if the other party didn't say it, Alvin knew that this was the destination of the two, because the material of the stone tablet in front of him was exactly the same as the stone tablet in Fedoos City that recorded runes!
"That's ......," Alvin's tone was slightly heavy.
"Yes, this is it." Heloise walked over to the tombstone and crouched down, gently stroking the words on it, "This is where my parents are buried." ”
"......" Alvin looked at this stele silently, Alvin had obtained the inheritance of Lancelot, strictly speaking, he could be regarded as his disciple, and it was not too much to let Alvin take care of Heloise at this point, even if there was no such affection between the two of them as comrades-in-arms who lived and died together.
After Heloise, Alvin also came forward to pay respects, which was a tribute to his master, whom he had never met. Just as the two were mourning the deceased at the grave, a sound of footsteps came from far and near. The two turned their heads and saw a female player walking out of the back of the forest with a bouquet of flowers. After seeing the two of them, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile.
"You two are here to do the mission, too! I thought that by this time, no one remembered this legend! The female player walked to the tombstone familiarly, put the flower down, and then turned to look at the two of them, "You two are from other places, there are not many fresh faces in this town, and I have a little impression of most of them." ”
"Not really." Alvin said, "We're kind of coming back this time." ”
"Oh, it's out of here! There were indeed a lot of people here when the server was opened, but there were really few people who remembered this legend. Listening to the tone, the other party obviously regarded the two of them as players in the novice village.
"yes." Alvin chimed in, "What about you?" Why do you insist on coming to this tomb to deliver flowers? ”
"I'm actually idle." The female gamer smiled, "And I always feel that outside such an ordinary town, there is such an extraordinary tomb, there must be a story in it!" ”
When the female player said this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she found that when she was staring at the two, she couldn't see each other's names, and she used a reconnaissance technique, and what she sent back was a bunch of question marks, and then she investigated, or question marks!
Level 80 players, even level 100 epic NPCs, can see names and even camps, but the two people in front of them can't see any information at all, how can she not be surprised.
"You, you ......" the female player covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at the two with the other.
Seeing this, Alvin smiled, "I do have a story here, but do you have the patience to listen?" ”
……
The wind blew over the plains, bringing up the undulating waves of wheat in the highlands, the ripe rye, exuding the smell of harvest, and on the country road, there were people driving by with bales of wheat. In the forest, the leaves that have begun to dry out make a loud noise after the wind blows, all the same as they did more than 100 years ago.
Not far from where the woodland was, a decaying and collapsed wooden house had been cleared out, and some worthless old items had been picked up from the dust, washed and polished, and it seemed that it was still usable, but it had left deep traces of age on it. The remaining waste materials are buried on the spot and become nourishment for new plants, and the dilapidated wooden house has become a flat land, and perhaps someone will build a new wooden house here in the future.
In the middle of the woodland, the tomb that had been deserted for many years was now rested, and the new soil covered still carried the breath of the fertile land of the forest, and a new sentence appeared on the dark tombstone.
- Those who sleep here will always love and be loved.
An ancient legend that has been circulated in the town has finally been revealed, and the long story has finally come to a complete end. And that's not all. On the same day as these events, a player begins a long journey with his bag on his back, wrapping his longbow in cloth. This time, she's going to find an old, forgotten story that she'll tell the world to tell the world, but the joys and sorrows of the legendary bard's long journey are another story.
