With the help of players, it undoubtedly saved Green a lot of effort. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before returning to the temple, Green was wearing tabula rasa gear, but when he left the temple, his entire body had been upgraded to high-quality magical equipment.

After going to the temple to replenish his equipment and resources, Green returned to the tavern room and began to communicate with the Lord of Shadows.

When communing with the gods, one must open one's heart. Therefore, there is no way to lie or hide during the communication, and everything in the heart will be immediately captured by the gods.

Devout believers don't care about revealing their hearts to the gods, but Green is jealous of that.

In order to avoid being seen through his mind by the Lord of Shadows, Green used hypnotism to temporarily forget the sum of his previous lives, and also wore a [Mechanized Mind] ring to prevent his spirit from being manipulated by the Lord of Shadows, and also had Mona use a rope to bind herself to a chair.

When everything was ready, Green put on the mask left by the Lord of Shadows.

Green began to invoke the name of the Lord of Shadows.

After two calls, Green felt a deep majesty.

Greene: Cunning and ruthless Lord of Shadows, honored to meet you. ”

"You ought to be honored, mortal." The Lord of Shadows' voice was full of mockery and banter, "If it weren't for me, you'd be fooled by that Mother Earth bitch." ”

Hearing this from the mouth of the world's most famous liar, Green felt a little awkward: "Mother Earth lied to me? What did she lie to me? ”

"Can't you see it when you come into this world? Her purpose is the world itself! This world with unlimited resources, as long as you make good use of it, is enough to change the pattern of the whole world! And you're just a pawn to be used by her. ”

"Unlimited Resources...... The world? Green's pupils shrank slightly.

In the main plane, the production and gathering of resources is a very difficult task, whether it is food or minerals, the annual output is still limited, and a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested. But in this world, if you find a pile of Mithril Ore, you can dig up a piece of Mithril from it every day!

The Lord of Shadows is not wrong when he says that the resources in the "Quest World" are unlimited.

Lord of Shadows: That's right! So if you do what she wants, you end up with nothing to think of, at most just making a wedding dress for someone else. ”

Green hesitated for a moment: "Aren't the resources of this world only available to the Lost Ones of Time?" ”

"God is omnipotent." The Lord of Shadows scoffed, as if Green had said something very stupid.

"Can you tell me what's going on in this world?"

"Join me and become my believer! If you are willing to be my chosen one, I will tell you the truth about this world, and I will help you take this world from those false gods, and even make you a god! ”

A mysterious will slammed into Green's mind, but Green's eyes were full of ice, and only the mechanical mind ring on his hand was shining.

"I'm sorry, but I believe in equivalent exchange. The value of my faith is very high, and if you are going to raise a dagger against the creator god Io someday, come and discuss faith with me. ”

Lord of Shadows: "Hmph! You'll regret it. ”

"It's a shame." Green sighed.

The negotiations could not proceed at all, much to Green's disappointment.

Green was about to ask Mona to help him remove the mask from his face, when the Lord of Shadows spoke again.

"Mortal, if one day you can't get along, put on a mask. As long as you are willing to be my believer, I can give you everything you want! ”

Greene: "If I want the Godhead of Io, the creator god!" Can you give it to me? ”

“…… Well, it looks like I can't really give you what you want. So let's make a trade. ”

To Green's surprise, the Lord of Shadows was a little surprised when he heard Green's blasphemous words, not only did he not get angry, but calmed down.

Greene: "What do you need?" ”

"There are many 'time monsters' in this world, you help me develop a believer from those time monsters, and then give him the mask, and send him to my temple for a transfer."

"Time monsters? What is that? ”

"It's the indigenous people of this world. You should have seen it, right? Those guys who can be seen everywhere out there. ”

Is it a player? It seems that there is no uniformity in the way the gods refer to players.

Green: "What do I gain by doing this?" ”

Lord of Shadows: You can gain an ally. ”

Greene: "...... There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. So-called allies can only be established when they have the same interests. ”

"Okay, okay~ So, what do you want?"

Greene: "Tell me about the purpose and plan of the gods. By what means do the gods intend to take control of the world? ”

"By spreading the faith, of course. When all the time monsters in this world become their own believers, don't they control this world? ”

Greene: "Lie. Those time monsters can't become believers! ”

“…… Looks like you've already met the agents of other gods. The Lord of Shadows did not have the slightest embarrassment of having his lies exposed, "I see, I see. Mortal, what did Mother Earth give you? Why are you fighting for her? ”

"I'm not fighting for anyone, everything I do is just to protect myself."

"To protect yourself?" The Lord of Shadows scoffed, "How can that bitch of Mother Earth be able to help you if you don't pay any price?" ”

Green was silent.

"Haha! I see! Do you also doubt the purpose of that bitch of Mother Earth, which is why you came to me? Hehe, what a suspicious little ghost. That's right! Mother Earth's bitch is in a conspiracy, and she's almost there. As the god of conspiracy, of course I know her plans! But why should I tell you? After all, I'm out of this game, and even if I tell you, it won't do me any good. ”

"Tell me, and you can disrupt Mother Earth's plans and sabotage her plans. If Mother Earth's conspiracy succeeds, then it means that you, as the god of conspiracy, have lost to Mother Earth in the conspiracy. You shouldn't be able to accept such an outcome, right? ”

“…… All right. Mortal, you convinced me. I can help you escape from this world! ”

……

After some conversation with the Lord of Shadows, Green took off his mask and ......

In an instant, the forgotten memory recovered, and Green's eyes slowly returned to clarity.

Green rubbed his forehead and recalled the previous exchange: "Mother Earth's conspiracy...... Heh~"

The Lord of Shadows is the "God of Conspiracy", so his words cannot be trusted! As for the conspiracy of Mother Earth. In Green's view, the purpose of Mother Earth is at best to make herself charge in front, and only jump out at the last moment, plot against herself, and then pick peaches - this kind of thing even if the god of conspiracy does not say, Green can guess it.

"But at least for the time being, it is certain that the Church of the Earth and the Church of the Conspiracy God are not allied, and that 'without believers, the gods cannot influence the world'." Green scratched his head, "The god of conspiracy is willing to help me escape this world...... He obviously wouldn't have been well-intentioned, so that is, escaping this world was a wrong option...... As a result, there is only one way to kill the other fans of time? Isn't this all back to square one? ”

Green lay on the bed for a moment and suddenly jumped up.

"No matter! Let's go to leveling up first. Green began to pack up, "The equipment is ready, the potions are all ready, and the magic scrolls are ...... It's a little little, but it's basically enough. Let's go! ”

Green left the room and headed for the Labyrinth of Shadows.

……

Mother Earth Temple, in the prayer room.

Mitchell knelt in front of the statue of the Virgin and prayed.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to hear something and opened her eyes: "Senpai...... Already aware of it? ”

“……”

"Yes, Mother Goddess. I understand, all for the peace of the world! ”

With that, the girl stood up and walked straight through the temple in the direction where Green was.

……

South of Cap Town, "Labyrinth of Shadows".

The "Dungeon World" is a "dungeon" based on the situation of the main plane three hundred years ago, and the "Shadow Labyrinth" was a temporary garrison for the vanguard of the Shadow Demon King at that time. Today, that temporary garrison exists in the form of a copy outside of Karp Town.

Some rare materials with dark attributes will drop in the shadow maze, so players will often come to farm dungeons.

Green has no interest in the Shadow Labyrinth dungeon, as Green has already collected enough materials from the player through Mitchell.

Grimm's purpose is not the "Shadow Labyrinth" dungeon, but a special NPC stationed near the dungeon.

According to the clues provided by some players, there is a special NPC known as the "Red-faced Mage" stationed near the "Shadow Labyrinth", and will go to the dungeon every day to farm materials.

The Shadow Labyrinth quest is located in an abandoned camp, most of the tents are in ruins, but a few of them are still intact. And one of the tents was the lair of the "red-faced mage".

Green summoned a magic eye and inspected the tents next to each other.

"These tents don't look like they're suitable for a mage's position...... The area is too small, and there is no way to prepare too many magic arrays. It seems that the 'red-faced mage' in the player's mouth is most likely not a non-mage, but the 'demon warlock' that Mitchell once said. ”

Green guessed as he stood outside the camp, quietly inspecting the tents.

This is the first area, there are more players setting up stalls, and there are very few players who are going to get off the dungeon, so the whole camp seems quiet.

Just as Green wanted to go in, suddenly!

"Wow! ~" Suddenly, a large group of players suddenly spawned around Green.

Secretly numb players, packed the entire camp.

"Holy! What's the situation? Why did I suddenly change wires!? ”

"Rascals! You actually touched me!? ”

"Huh? What about the anti-collision aura? I didn't open the PK mode......"

……

The entire camp became crowded in an instant.

Feeling that something was wrong with the situation, Green couldn't help but quietly take a few steps back: "What's going on?" ”

Suddenly, a giant firefiend stood up in the crowd and attacked nearby players with his flaming greatsword!

"Boom! ~”

With just a slash, a large number of players were emptied in an instant!

"Holy! How can you farm bosses here!? "All the players were stunned.

Green looked at the huge fire demon like a small mountain, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "That's ...... A demon of the Golden Order? Could it be ...... Special NPCs? ”

Just when Green was at a loss, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind Green.

"Senior, don't be nervous. That fire demon is his own. ”

Green turned his head in astonishment, surprised to find that Mitchell had appeared behind him: "You...... How did you leave the temple? ”

"Because the traitor has been found and cleared by you, senior." Mitchell smiled very softly, "The God of Conspiracy is out of the game. ”

"What's going on? I don't quite understand. Green felt like his brain was running out of steam.

"Senpai, do you know? The Shadow Demon King is a huge hidden danger to the whole world! ”

With Mitchell's words, a mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the direction of the novice village! The entire Novice Village was wiped off the map by a powerful force, and slowly turned into chaos.

Green looked in the direction of the novice village, and then at Mitchell, who was in a bit of a strange situation: "...... Why is Shadow Demon suddenly mentioned? ”

"The Shadow Lord cannot be killed. Even if you kill him, he will still come back to life after a while. Therefore, killing the Shadow Demon King is just a matter of delaying time, and there is only one way to solve this hidden danger once and for all......"

Looking at Mitchell's glittering face, Green couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "What way?" ”

"Transform the Shadow Demon King into the guardian of the world!"

Greene: "...... Does this have anything to do with me? ”

"Of course." Mitchell looked at Grimm and smiled, "Aren't you the Shadow Demon King's half-body?" ”

Hearing Mitchell's words, Green's brain exploded instantly!

Without hesitation, Green took a few steps back and quickly put on a few layers of protection.

"Don't be so nervous, sam. As I said, we want to help you become a Time Keeper. ”

Greene: "Do you think I'll believe it?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Mitchell smiled slightly, "Because the only variable has been cleared out, the plan has been initiated." ”

"Variables?" Green frowned slightly, "You mean...... A believer in the god of conspiracy? ”

"Yes." Mitchell smiled slightly, "The Lord of Shadows has been making trouble, so we don't dare to start the plan lightly. After all, according to the plan, it will be you and the Shadow Demon King who will go head-to-head in the end, and if a third party is involved in the duel at this time, things will get troublesome. ”

"You...... Can you make it clear? ”

"I've made it clear." Mitchell looked at Green with a confused expression, "We want you to become a Time Keeper, so that whoever devours between you and the Shadow Demon King, the newborn Shadow Demon King will become the Time Guardian!" ”
