Chapter 505: The Wizarding World: Lies
“... Sabina was nailed to this wheel. Something was protecting the wheel from fire www.biquge.info the pen, and it didn't seem to be damaged. Well... Recent marks and fragments, someone recently pulled the nail out of the wheel. To be on the safe side, I'd better take one...
I have to bring the king here, and I have to recreate the execution. Only by summoning Sabina's ghost can I force her to lift the curse. War Spirit and Fog will still be there, but at least the king will be safe.
I need to know what's going on here. Witnesses to the execution, they will be key. If I can at least find out how Sabina died, I'll be able to save Hengsett from the curse.
Both paths, Sabina's followers and the nail thief, are apparently unaffected by the aura of this place. It's time to ask some soldiers. ”
Rogette's sloquette finally came to an end, and he turned to look at the players and said, "Hey, I worked hard for you just now, and I'm going to trouble you again... Go and bring the two guys you just sent away here, I have something to ask them. ”
The players, including Tang Tu, were a little speechless. I knew I wouldn't have sent anyone back. But the NPC has already released the quest, and the players can only do it.
So, a group of players returned to the camp in a big way, found the two soldiers, and ran away without saying a word. The two soldiers screamed in fear along the way, and the players didn't even have to explain it.
Once in the canyon, the players throw two soldiers to Rogette.
Rogette looked at the soldier and said, "I have something to ask you, tell me honestly, and I'll let them send you back to camp again." How did you get here? ”
Soldier A looked nervous and said, "The prophet walked with us, and he led us through before leaving." ”
Rogette: "Did you see how they burned the sorceress?" ”
Soldier B: "What happened three years ago?" We were all under the command of Hengset, but only the Fifth Company had ever guarded the stake. ”
Soldier A: "They say the king doesn't want to be known at all. Some soldiers never came to the scene, but others came here to examine the wreckage. ”
Soldier B: "You're just like them." For you, you just make money with superstition ... You want to find old nails inside the ashes, right? ”
Soldier A: "Just like those bastards who do business outside the inn. ”
So nail thieves peddle stolen nails outside the inn?
Rogette: "Don't mistake me and the others. ”
Soldier B: "Really? Then give me the nail. ”
Rogette: "It's better for me to keep it." ”
Soldier B: "Custody? Didn't hear what they had to say? This relic is like the anesthetic powder used by ordinary people! ”
Do these nails have a paralyzing effect?
Rogette stopped continuing the topic and asked, "Did you light those candles?" ”
Soldier A: "We ordered it." ”
Soldier B: "Do you have any comments?" ”
Rogette: "Are you burning this for Sabina in honor of her?" ”
Soldier A: "Is it hard to understand?" That's a waste of time for you, right? ”
Soldier B: "Can you feel their gaze?" They are looking at us. Superstitious people like us can't get out of here alive. ”
Soldier A looked at Soldier B: "Don't you believe in the prophet?" You don't need to believe... But it's worth a try, right? ”
Soldier B said to Soldier A, "Old fool! It's all his fault that we're going to die here. ”
Rogette: "Who is the Prophet?" ”
Soldier B: "It all started with him." He told of the miracle of this canyon. ”
Soldier A: "I believe him." You know why? Although he lives in the depths of the valley, there is some kind of power that protects him from being attacked by human-faced demon birds. ”
Rogette: "I don't like this place. ”
Soldier B: "I thought you were going to stay here all night. ”
Rogert: "At least I know a lot of places to sleep. ”
At this point, Rogette said to the players, "Alright, now let's go back to camp together." ”
So, a mighty group of people walked towards the camp. This time, even Rogette is surrounded in the middle, and the players open the way for the NPCs like little brothers.
Soldier A said to Rogette, "Damn, if it weren't for you, we'd all be eaten by these monsters." "It's an awkward way of thanking you.
Soldier B: "Demon hunter, we all owe you our lives. "It's clear that it's the players who kill the monsters.
The two soldiers were sent back to the camp, and everyone parted. The players are still following Rogette. Rogette found Zavik, the captain of the guard.
Rogert: "The soldiers you're looking for have been in the place where Sabina died for a while. ”
Zavik: "Oh, those idiots! I was deceived by witchcraft and superstition. I'm going to send them to clean the toilets for the rest of their lives! Still, I have to thank you for bringing them back to you... This is your reward, as I promised. ”
Rogette took the money bag and put it in his arms: "I heard that there is a man named the Prophet who lives outside the camp, have you met him?" ”
Zavik: "The soldiers are talking about him. I never saw him, though. If he is met by me, I will make him regret using superstition to confuse my men. ”
Rogette: "Were you there when Sabina was executed?" ”
Zavik: "I wish I could be there. However, only the Fifth Company was sent there, and she deserved it. Everything she did to the boys... Believe me, I've seen many strange things in my life... My brother was killed by a blow in Lindy, and a mage made the blood boil in his veins. I've also seen a soldier and a strong woman a dead elf woman. But three years ago, people melted like lead... Demon hunters, you won't forget it. ”
Rogert: "There's a soldier at the inn selling nails from Sabina's execution stake. ”
Zavik: "I know. That damn prime minister, his business has ruined the soldiers' brains. Suddenly, everyone believes that the pieces in your pocket can protect you in battle. What an idiot! ”
Rogette sighed, "If the relics give them courage, let them be." ”
Zavik: "So far, those candles have only brought us a few tent fires. Demon hunters, I can tell you one thing, I can rely on my shields, my guards, and my comrades in battle, if they are still alive. Many of these boys would die in Forjian, even if they had a shard of magic in their pocket that cost a silver coin. I want them to be afraid, and I want them to be on guard when the two armies clash. What a damn thing. If they were stupid enough to rely on rusty nails and ashes, they would have no chance of surviving at all. ”
Tang Tu felt that Zavik was very reasonable.
After talking to Zavik, Rogette came back to the outside of the camp with a large group of players, and he caught up with a group of soldiers and helped them deal with a few small monsters.
Soldier: "Demon Hunter, thank you for your help!" We are in a difficult situation, and the rotting devours multiply like rabbits. We're on our way to visit the prophet with gifts and the like. But I'll be done if I take a step that way, and you're going to see him too? If so, come with us. Hey, as you please..."
Rogette followed the soldiers. Players follow Rogette. A large group of people went to the place where the prophet was. When there are mobs on the road, the players clean them up, and Rogette basically doesn't make a move.
The prophet lived in a log cabin in the valley. There were a lot of candles on the ground outside the wooden house. The Prophet raised some human-faced demon birds. The players almost got into a fight with the Human-Faced Demon Birds, but the Prophet appeared just in time to stop the Human-Faced Demon Birds.
The prophet led the group into the hut: "It is safe here. ”
The soldiers gave the coins to the prophets, who gave them some candles. The soldiers exchanged things and left.
The Prophet asked Rogett, "Demon Hunter, what are you here for?" ”
Rogette: "I need to know something, the story about Sabina, that's what interests me the most. ”
Prophet: "Listen, you'll have to pay for news from me." Of course, I can also give generous assistance to the devout believers, if you may call one of them..."
Rogette seemed to think for a moment and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Well, I'll be a follower. "Is this a hypocrisy?
Prophet: "Good. Listen then, because I'm not going to say it a second time. If your motives are pure, you will do what I say, and every refuge will require a test. You have to spend the night in the old chapel next to Sabina's Pupil. ”
Rogert: "Where?" ”
Prophet: "I call those two lakes so in honor of her." ”
Rogette: "That's it? ”
Prophet: "Before you bend your knees to meditate, you must drink the mixture I gave you, and then you must remember what happened." This is very important because you have to repeat it to me in its entirety. ”
Rogette: "Okay. I'll be back when I'm done. ”
Rogette led the players out of the way, and then he returned to the cabin pretending to have fulfilled the prophet's account. However, the soothsayer saw through Rogette's lie and refused to provide Rogette with news of Sabina.
Prophet: "You are lying. I don't know what you're going to do, but unless you're really meditating, we're not going to talk about Sabina. ”
There was no way, Rogette had no choice but to take a group of players to the lake that the prophet said. Actually, it's not a lake at all, it's just two puddles.
Rogette drank what the prophet had given him, then half-knelt in front of the stone statue next to the lake and began to meditate.
At this time, many monsters poured in from all directions. The players surrounded Rogette in the middle. At the same time, virtual images appear in the scene, which are supposed to be the product of Rogette's meditation.
It was a huge crow flying in the air. Rogette walked blankly towards the raven. The players move around him and follow him.
After a while, the illusion vanished, and Rogette returned to normal. He said to himself, "What's the point?" ”
The monsters were all killed by the players. Rogette led everyone back to the Prophet. But halfway through the road a nobleman appeared, and he stopped Rogette with several armored soldiers.
Aristocrat: "I've been watching you for a long time. I'm wondering if I can capture you alive so that the bounty is higher, you know. ”
Rogert: "Are you kidding me?" Don't you know that I'm working for King Hengset now? ”
Nobleman: "Oh, that's a shame. ”
A disagreement began. Players rush over and surround the nobleman and his soldiers, and the scuffle begins. It's a bit of a surprise that this nobleman is actually a warlock.
This is a powerful warlock who can teleport at short distances. His soldiers were knights and were also powerful.
The player suffered casualties. Death means mission failure for the player. However, in the end, the player won by a numerical advantage. Tang Tu even snatched the head of a knight's servant.
The group returned to the Prophet's cabin.
Rogert: "I did as you said. Maybe you'll think I'm as crazy as you are... In my influence I walked through a forest full of giant mushrooms, and a huge hen walked through it, pecking at the bushes..."This is not the same as the virtual image the player sees. There is a big difference between a hen and a crow.
Prophet: "You don't know how happy I am. I've been seeing images of giant hens roaming through giant mushrooms for weeks... I thought I had lost my mind and gone crazy. As a result, my herbs must have gone bad. I'll have to collect new herbs, but that's my business, just ask whatever you want. "Spoiled ....
Rogert: "You must know a lot about Sabina's death. ”
Prophet: "Sabina the Martyr left the mortal realm to protect us." ”
Rogette: "Have you ever heard Sabina's curse on the king?" ”
Prophet: "Of course. A sin deserved punishment, a terrible spell from her bright red lips! The king arranged a cruel end for the sorceress, disgraced her, and left her to suffer in the flames. She was tied to the wheels of a stake, and she endured pain unimaginable to ordinary people.
But when the flames reached her waist, she did not let out any wails, but only prophesied the imminent death of King Hengset. Separate a meteor from the sky and announce its mortal journey with its long bright red tail. Let the mortals be deceived by the scales of the fish turned from magic to gold. Let the unicorn desecrate the thousand-year-long reign and evoke a just punishment!
Sabina suffered so deeply that a merciful soldier ended her ordeal and plunged his spear into her grief-stricken heart. ”
Rogert: "Okay, let's talk about something else. Why candles? How is Sabina different from other mages who were burned on a stake? ”
Prophet: "Others are powerful in life." And Sabina's strength only blossomed when the merciless arms of death embraced her. ”
