Chapter 25 The solution is simple
Seeing this ghost-like NPC suddenly appear, let alone Jiangnan MM, even people who I am not afraid of watching ghost movies feel startled, this person is scary and will scare people to death! Especially when I saw all the attributes of the gravesweeper at this old site, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, this guy is actually a quasi-gold-level NPC! Jiangnan MM breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party's name clearly, and whispered to me: "I'd rather be the one who came to open the door is a remnant of the Demon Kingdom!" ”
I nodded in agreement.
The grave sweeper who came out of the old site looked at us with cloudy eyes, and then asked us, "Young man, where do you come from?" Why come here? ”
Jiangnan MM will never come out standing behind me, and I can't stand a girl standing in front of me to shield me from the wind and rain. So he stepped forward and said, "Old man, excuse me, we are from Dongfang City, just passing through here." I saw the ruins here, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to be attacked by the monsters here, and I was trying to find a place to hide. ”
There's no shame in lying to NPCs, sometimes you can get a lot of benefit by fooling him, so why not fool him? The grave sweeper at the old site glanced at us, and then looked back twice, I don't know if it was because of his appearance, those remnants of the Demon Kingdom who were originally dancing with teeth and claws left one after another, as far away from this room as possible. Could it be that there is something here that scares them? And this person in front of him is guarding this thing?
Seeing that the remnants of the demon kingdom have retreated, Jiangnan MM stood beside me with a little peace of mind and faced the grave sweeper at the old site side by side with me, even if it looks scary, at least it is an NPC, so I don't have to worry about suddenly attacking us.
The grave sweeper looked at us and said, "They won't attack you anymore, so you better get out of here quickly!" ”
Oh, what are you kidding, I just found one alive, and I haven't finished the task yet, how can I just leave like this? This old guy has a rather eccentric temper. It seems necessary to try a different trick. So I immediately answered, "Old man, although I know this is very abrupt, but you see, we are quite scared to come to this unfamiliar place, you see that my daughter-in-law's face has not eased, you can do it, let's go in and rest, okay?" When we're done resting, we won't bother you again! ”
It's just to go out and deal with the remnants of the Demon Kingdom!
After silently adding a sentence, I waited for the answer of the grave sweeper at the old site, and then I felt a pain in my arm, and when I looked down, Jiangnan MM's little hand was pinching my arm hard. And he whispered angrily: "Who is your daughter-in-law?" ”
I immediately whispered to him, "I said Grandma, this person in front of me may be the only NPC here, and the task must be with him." As long as he can give us a task, it doesn't matter what it's called, right? ”
Who knew that Jiangnan MM immediately said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter if you're not married, okay?" Why must it be a daughter-in-law and not a sister? ”
I immediately said, "Then if that old man asks me to keep my sister for him as a daughter-in-law, or he won't give me the task, do you say I will give it or give it or give it?" ”
Jiangnan MM immediately said angrily: "You, you are such a scoundrel." Let's talk about it! ”
I was speechless and turned my head to look at the grave sweeper at the old site. Let Gangnam MM ravage my poor little arm. As long as she can get the task down, what does it matter if she pinchs it twice. The key is that this old site grave sweeper, a quasi-gold-level NPC, has a high IQ and is not so easy to fool. It's necessary to deepen it!
Although the IQ of quasi-gold-level NPCs is not low, it is not much higher. In the end, it's just a procedure, something that does things according to rules, how can it be as flexible as a human brain. Looking at the remnants of the Demon Kingdom who were still wandering around, the tomb sweeper at the old site said, "Then come in and rest." But don't mess around. ”
When we enter the house, we are guests, how can we touch things casually without the permission of the host. So I took Jiangnan MM's little hand and followed the grave sweeper at the old site into the dark room. After coming in, I found that it was not as dark as I imagined, and there was a small skylight on the top of the house. The furnishings in the room are very simple, only on the right hand side there is a bed, a cabinet, no stove and no kitchen utensils, the most strange thing is that in the center of the room, there is actually a black sculpture, it seems to be a person, there is still a weapon in the hand, but the face is a little blurry and can't see who it is, but the clothes on the body are carved very carefully, and even the pattern of the boots under the feet are carved clearly. Because of this, this blurred face is very abrupt and confusing. Jiangnan MM hasn't seen this either.,After glancing at me, I looked at the tomb sweeper at the old site.,It seems that only the tomb sweeper at the old site can give me an answer.。 So I pretended to be curious and asked, "Old man, is this a god you believe in?" ”
Old man, did you know that you are not allowed to move around, but you are not allowed to ask? The grave sweeper at the old site looked at us curiously at the statue, so he said, "That's the strongest and greatest demon lord in our demon kingdom!" ”
Well? This is actually a demon lord? That's the king of the demon kingdom? Why is it that other kings are wearing crowns and well-dressed, and this is what this one looks like? Even if the customs and beliefs of the demon country and other countries are different, this statue is really strange. You can't help but want to care. Then Jiangnan MM asked curiously: "Then why didn't the demon lord's face be carved?" ”
The grave sweeper at the old site sat on that bed, his wide robe wrapped around his thin body like a sack, and the wrinkles on his face were one after another, denser than the folds of the bun, fortunately I didn't have a phobia of density, otherwise I was afraid that I would have endocrine disorders after watching him for a long time. I saw him take out a worn-out book and look through it slowly, but he still answered our question: "I carved it myself." But it's been so long that I can't remember the face of the demon lord anymore. But this is the diary left by the Demon Lord, so if you're interested, check it out! ”
Since we want to get a mission from him, let's get on good terms with him first. There's nothing to lose anyway, and maybe something we want to know. So I took the things over, and I stood with Jiangnan and looked at it for a while. It's really just a diary.,It records a person's life.,Born in a certain year and month.,At the age of 22, he became the leader of the demon clan.,What happened to the demon clan in which year and month?,How to solve it.,How to deal with the aftermath are written very clearly.。 In the end, it was written that the demon kingdom had to migrate due to a natural disaster, and finally came to this place, and multiplied and survived. Then came the conquest of the surrounding villages, recording their booty, how many people they killed, how many women and food they robbed, who in the demon kingdom relied on the demon kingdom medal to get a partner, and so on. The last one is written in a messy way, saying only that they are under great pressure to encircle the surrounding countries, and that food is beginning to run short, and the soldiers are starting to get tired. It's just that there is no more, and it is estimated that the demon kingdom will be destroyed before it has time to write down. It's a legendary diary.
I asked the grave sweeper at the old site, "Old man, what's the back?" How about the Demon Lord? ”
I'm asking knowingly, but I just want to talk to him and try to get his task out as much as possible. Perhaps it was because of the demon lord he worshipped, so the grave sweeper at the old site did not ignore us, raised his eyelids and said, "The demon lord was cut off in the final war, and his body was in a different place. However, because the power of the demon lord is too strong, they are afraid that the demon lord's soul will be reborn again and take revenge on them, so they seal the demon lord's soul in this piece of wood. And made a pact with me, as long as I can protect the soul of the demon lord here for 500 years, then I will be allowed to leave here with the soul of the demon lord. Otherwise, the wood will be broken, so that the soul of the demon lord will not be reborn. We have a soul pact that liars will be punished from the depths of their souls and will suffer every day and every night. Now, I've been here for 459 years, and in another 41 years, I can leave here with the Demon Lord's soul and return to our hometown, and even if we all die, I will send the Demon Lord's soul back. How I want to see the Demon Lord again! ”
The tomb sweeper at the old site said a little miserable, and Jiangnan MM and I couldn't help but sigh when I heard it, but I didn't expect that the tomb sweeper at the old site was still a man who valued love and righteousness, and actually guarded a piece of wood here for more than 450 years, if I did, I couldn't bear it for 450 days. Pain and suffering are not terrible, what really torments people is loneliness and loneliness!
But the same content also made me surprised, I didn't expect that the tomb sweeper at the old site has been here for 451 years, plus his original age, it should be about 500. Oh my God, can anyone in this demon kingdom live that long? How do you sing that song? Oh, I really want to live another 500 years! Could it be that the programmer is also a big fan of this song?
Jiangnan MM didn't care about this, and asked directly: "Isn't there a way to see the soul of the demon lord?" Isn't his soul in this statue? ”
The grave sweeper at the old site didn't think about it and said directly: "Of course there is, but there is no difference between this method and not, I want to use this method to see the soul of the demon lord for more than 400 years, and I have not succeeded until now." ”
I seized the opportunity and continued to ask, "What kind of way?" Anyway, you say it's unlikely, just tell me about it, maybe we can help some! At least if you need anything, I can run errands! ”
The grave sweeper at the old site sighed deeply, feeling that the wrinkles on his face had instantly increased a lot, and he only heard him say: "Actually, the solution is very simple, the remnants wandering outside were once warriors of the Demon Kingdom. After being awakened by the Plague of Darkness, they have been hiding in the dirt, sometimes wandering around. I had thought about leaving here for a few days to find someone who might help me, but as soon as I did, the remnants would want to come and steal the statue of the Demon Lord in an attempt to bewitch the Demon Lord's soul and make him a slave to be driven. So I can't get out of here. But I found that these remnants still have the medals they received during their lifetimes, and as long as there are enough medals, I can cast a spell and invite the soul of the demon lord to appear! It's just a pity that my ability is insufficient, and it is impossible to deal with the warriors who were very strong in life, so now I can only hope that this day will pass soon, so that I can meet the Demon Lord! ”
