Chapter 548: Great or Liar? (3/4)
Cyclops Valley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Cyclops who brought Link back didn't know what was happening, and when he saw the One-Eyed King shouting like this, and kneeling in front of him, he immediately waved his hand again and again, and shouted, "King, King, I'm not an oracle, I'm Oka, don't you recognize me?" ”
The One-Eyed King immediately became furious, picked up a stone with a diameter of more than one meter, and smashed it at the giant who called himself Oka, scolding: "You fool, the oracle is on top of your head!" ”
Oka was hit by a stone and his head was bleeding, and he ran away with his head in his arms.
Link also flew off his head, hovering 30 meters in front of the one-eyed king, and asked strangely, "Why do you call me an oracle?" ”
When the One-Eyed King saw that Link could fly, and that he had no wings, he immediately became more and more in awe, and he lay on the ground, tilted his big head, and said respectfully: "God once issued an oracle, and he said that if one day, a man who looks like him appears, this is the messenger he sent to save us sinners. ”
"God? Oracle? Link was even more puzzled, could this be the Radiant Lord's doing? It's not like ah, if it's the Lord of Radiance, then the game system must have information displayed, and it will definitely not be as motionless as it is now.
Of course, it is also possible that the game system feels that there is no need to remind him, but is it necessary to play with mystery in this kind of thing?
The One-Eyed King nodded repeatedly: "Yes, oracle, we have passed it down from generation to generation, and you will never go wrong, not only do you look exactly like the oracle, but the time of your appearance is also the same as the oracle said." ”
This explanation made Link's heart slightly startled, and there was one detail that made him a little vigilant, and that was the time of the appearance of the oracle.
Since the oracle said that the oracle would appear during this time, and he was sure that he was unlikely to be an oracle, it was possible that a real oracle would appear on this huge island in the near future.
It is impossible for a god to come to the mortal world out of thin air, but if the divine envoy wants to convince these mortals, he should also have legendary level power, if this guy is an enemy, then it will be a big problem.
As soon as he thought of this, Link said, "Since it's a god, there should always be a statue of a god, take me to see it." ”
"Yes, Lord God." The One-Eyed King stood up and turned and walked deeper into the valley, while Link followed him more than 30 meters away.
Along the way, the cyclops in the valley all looked at him curiously, but perhaps afraid of the majesty of the lord, they all stood far away and did not dare to approach.
The valley was huge, at least 10 kilometers long and five or six hundred meters wide, and as he walked along the way, Link found that there were really many giants in the valley, men, women and children, and all of them were naked, at least 600 in number, and more than 200 in the prime of life.
Seeing Link looking at his people, the One-Eyed King said disdainfully, "Divine Messenger, those guys are all brainless fools, and they are not worth mentioning at all. ”
Link doesn't see it that way, in his eyes, these giants are all very powerful warriors, and their strength is above level 8, while this one-eyed king is at the peak of level 9.
Except for the one-eyed king, who is very clever and not very easy to deceive, the other giants seem to be very easily satisfied, and it is estimated that as long as they are given good food and drink, and a piece of clothing that only a leader has, these guys should be able to use them.
With such a powerful force and a huge body, once it appears on the battlefield, it is a terrifying war machine.
Of course, the details of the island have not yet been figured out, and Link doesn't know if this can be done.
About ten minutes later, Link followed the Cyclops to the end of the valley, which was empty, there was not a single cyclops around, the ground was very flat, and in the middle of the valley, there stood a white stone sculpture more than 80 meters high.
The appearance of this stone sculpture is exactly the same as that of the Terrans, and if you look closely, it really bears a slight resemblance to the outline of Link's face, of course, only a little.
Actually, Bairink's popular face, he looks a little like everyone else, hehe.
However, in the eyes of the human race, the difference between the faces of the two sides is very large, but in the eyes of the foreigners, the two are completely indistinguishable (there is natural face blindness for foreign races, for example, it is difficult for you to distinguish the appearance of two dogs), and it is normal to admit mistakes.
"Poof~" The One-Eyed King had already fallen to his knees, and he said to Link: "This is Thoreau the Great, who has always protected our island from evil, but evil has never left, he has been patrolling the island, looking for opportunities, always trying to devour our souls. So the great Thoreau left an oracle saying that in a thousand years, his messenger would return to the mortal world and lead us to a complete defeat of the evil beyond the island. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Link, and there was a fanatical look in his yellow one-man eyes: "Now, you are here, and we finally don't have to be threatened by evil anymore." ”
Link listened to the clouds, the great Thoreau, he had no impression of the name, he had never seen it in the book in his life, and he had not ...... in the game in his previous life Wait, Link suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, it was a memory about the game.
This memory was very slim, and Link estimated that he must have caught a glimpse of similar information in a previous life, but he did not read it carefully.
He was silent for a moment, trying to eliminate distracting thoughts, trying to re-recall this memory like light smoke, but it was useless, he only had a vague impression, this memory remained in a nameless corner in the deepest part of his memory, at this time he deliberately thought about it, but he couldn't find it.
Unable to think of it for the time being, Link could only give up first, and he asked, "You just said evil, what evil?" ”
"The evil outside the island, they are in the sea, everywhere, they overturn all the ships that go to sea, they cover the sky, they block all the roads that connect us with the Radiant Continent, but it doesn't matter. Here you are, you see, the sky is brightening! ”
Link was startled when he heard this, and he noticed a detail: "You just said, covering the sky?" ”
Link had personally verified this, he and Grace Shael were at an altitude of 10,000 meters when they entered the Ferroman plane, and he was sure that there was no shelter in the sky.
However, Link then remembered that Grace Shar had told him that she and her mother had traveled around the plane more than 400 years ago, and they had never seen such a huge island, and in their eyes, Dawn Island was the largest island in the sea.
In other words, the sky here was once obscured, but now this obscuration has disappeared, and the time of disappearance is 400 years to the present.
But why did it disappear?
Link thought quickly in his heart, and soon remembered two possibilities, first, that the oracle had appeared, but the one-eyed king had not yet heard of him. Second, there is something wrong with the evil of the sea that the One-Eyed King said.
The former is much more likely to happen than the latter.
Is this oracle friend or foe, then? ’
Link didn't know, the only thing he knew was that the island was not as safe as he thought, and that both the evil of the sea and the messenger of the great Thoreau had the power to threaten them.
Thinking of this, Link no longer paid attention to the one-eyed king, and the space around his body appeared slightly blurred, which was a vision that only appeared when the Void Walk was running to its limit.
In the next moment, there was a 'boom' around Link's body, and the qi waves spread out in all directions, and the one-eyed kings who hit him all retreated, and at the same time, Link's body disappeared in place.
Link hurried back to the castle, and when he flew into the air, his mind suddenly lit up, and he remembered the origin of the familiarity of the word Thoreau.
It was on the world channel of a game, and a player swiped a treasure hunt message, but the world channel news was swiped very quickly, and treasure hunt messages abounded, and Link just glanced at it casually.
With this clue, Link continued to think about it, and more and more news suddenly came to his mind.
'Thoreau, the eternal cage, the perfect deception, doing dark and horrible things in the name of justice and greatness....... there isn't a lot of news, but the words keep popping up, none of them are good words, but that's exactly what the message contains.
However, that's all Link knew, and he didn't know anything about the details.
But it was enough to make him vigilant, he was only a hundred kilometers away from the castle, and at his current speed, it would only take him five minutes to return to the castle.
Four minutes later, Link had already seen the castle in his sight, the castle looked unusual, and in the distance, Link saw Grace Shael cleaning the herbs she had picked by the creek near the castle, and the five half-blood demon children were also helping out nearby, and everything seemed to be normal.
This made Link breathe a sigh of relief, and he slowed down and slightly redirected towards Grace Sha'er.
When they got closer, Link slowly fell, and several children immediately stood up and said, "Butler." ”
Link nodded, and then said to Grace Sha'er in the continental lingua franca, "Sha'er, I probably know why we were mistaken for an oracle. ”
"Oh?" Grisshar raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll listen." ”
Link explained everything he had heard along the way, even the details of the evil gods and deceptions, and when he had finished, Grissal frowned and said, "I have also heard some legends from these little ones, and among them there is this great one, but in the legends, he is a savior. ”
Just in case, Grace deliberately did not say Thoreau's name, she knew that if the other party was really a god, saying his name at this time would attract his attention.
Link thought for a moment and said, "These legends are not contradictory to what I heard, they are just an appearance, a deep layer. As far as I know, God is something that is difficult to fathom, and if this great being is really God, no one knows what he wants to do...... I think we should have taken precautions, maybe we should have left this island as soon as possible. ”
"You're right. Have you picked the herbs? ”
"Of course. I picked a lot. Link took out all the herbs he picked along the way, and there were hundreds of catties.
Grissa checked them one by one, and then laughed: "These are enough, I don't have enough strength now, so I can only help me refine the potion, I said, you do it." ”
"Understood." (To be continued.) )
