Chapter Eighty-Seven: Undercurrent

"It seems that the church is very unpopular here." Lin Jie looked at the paper in his hand.

The more chaotic the place, the easier it is to build faith, this is a fact recognized by all preachers.

However, when a faith cannot save the living, it naturally loses the value of faith.

Lin Jie put the villagers' prayers in his backpack, and several cursors appeared on the map, and this was the place to explore.

The nearest is the blacksmith's shop.

It's about 300 meters.

Lin Jie sorted out the order of arrangement in his backpack, put the potions and supplies at the front, and groped towards the blacksmith shop.

The undead monsters of Stolle retain the habits of the villagers, and most of them stay in their rooms except for patrolling guards, which also makes there not many monsters on the path.

Lin Jie approached the blacksmith shop, and there were 2 apprentices guarding the door at the door.

- Dead Story Villager (Normal, Undead)

Level 31

Attack 80-100

Defense 50

HP 900

Specialty: Equipment Decay (Reduces target equipment durability)

Lin Jie was taken aback.

This kind of monster is really disgusting, and it can directly deprive the equipment of durability!

Lin Jie walked around from the left and showed his figure, attracting the attention of one of the undead.

Stolly's undead are low-level undead, unable to speak, and do not possess a hatred chain mechanism.

Charge!

The undead brandished the half-rotten hammer in his hand and rushed towards Lin Jie, hitting the Blood Demon Shield with a hammer, making a huge collision sound, which was particularly abrupt in this silent environment.

-1!

The undead's damage was not enough to break through Lin Jie's defenses.

- Battle Log: You have been attacked by a dead Story villager, and your Blood Shield has 100/100 durability remaining.

Lin Jie was shocked, just then attacked, and actually hit the durability?

And that's not all, the moment the Bloodthirsty Sword slashed at him, the durability dropped from invisible to 100/100!

Seeing the hammer smashing towards his head, Lin Jie subconsciously lowered his head and plunged the bloodthirsty sword into the stomach of the villagers.

-43!

The defense is too high!

A bolt of lightning flashed out of Lin Jie's hand, and his reckless swing landed on the villager's head, and he continued to retreat, slashing towards the back of his neck.

-40!

-46!

Boom!

The villager's hammer smashed into Lin Jie's breastplate, and the durability of the bronze dreadcoat also escaped!

Just getting hit by his hammer will reduce durability!

Lin Jie's eyes were cold, and he slashed a sword on the back shoulder of the villager, switched perspectives, went to the front of the villager, attacked again, slid sideways, and changed positions.

After a whole set of actions, the undead villager was dazed by the play.

With a thud, the villagers' heads were cut off, turning into a wriggling mass of mud that merged into the foul-smelling dirt.

- System Prompt: You kill a dead Stolle villager, you gain 2400 XP, you gain 7 Bronze Coins, and you get 'Villager Prayer (Quest Item)'

"It's not easy." Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his equipment.

Just by fighting a monster, the Blood Shield's durability drops to 99/100.

The durability of equipment is a big issue.

As long as the durability is displayed, the rate of decline will increase by about 200%.

Unless...... Don't let these monsters attack you, even once!

Lin Jie walked towards the remaining undead and pinched the sword in his hand......

…………

The small town of Pamela, Tactical Command Hall.

A handsome man covered in golden armor, carrying a huge sword behind him, sharp and bladeless, looking like a huge piece of iron, with a resolute face with an indifferent smile, and the light in his eyes seemed to despise everything.

Heaven and earth change!

And standing in front of him was a thief dressed in black.

If Lin Jie was there, he would definitely be able to recognize him.

Mercenary Alliance Leader, Ken!

"Tell me, how much money do you need to be willing to transfer your information?" Heaven and Earth said coldly, looking at the thief in front of him mockingly, thinking in his heart how much he would have to pay to open his mouth.

"It's not about the money." Ken said lightly, "You also know our rules, we don't sell information to others in this way. ”

"Hehe, what are you doing with these materials?" Heaven and Earth sneered, stood up, and looked down at Ken, "3 million, cash." Give me the information. ”

"No need to talk."

"5 million."

"Hehe......"

"10 million!"

"Bang!" Ken slapped the table, the green in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and a few words popped out between his teeth, "Listen to me, the purpose of our existence is not to make you stinky money!" You'd love to know the information, wouldn't you? Well, I'll tell you! ”

"There are more than 100 people at Mondstadt Outpost, and as long as you can find a way to overthrow the Leader of the Church of Light and kill the Leader, you will be able to break out 100% of the Guild Trial Book! And then, I will show you the usefulness of our mercenary alliance! ”

"Want to take a shortcut? How can it be so easy! ”

Ken spilled the gold coin on the table and turned to leave.

Heaven and earth changed and looked at the back of this thief, and madness flashed in his eyes.

"Gather your men and go to the Mondstadt outpost!"

"Xiao Wu, you go to search, how can you betray the Holy Light Church!"

…………

-65!

-67!

In the blacksmith shop in Story Town, Lin Jie was surrounded by three villagers with giant hammers, but he did not panic in the slightest, using every movement of his body to dodge their attacks with all his might.

-1!

- System Prompt: The durability of your equipment 'Bronze Dread Armor' has been reduced to 30, the durability of your surname has been reduced by 15%, and the durability decrease rate has been increased by 50%. When the durability drops to 0, the equipment will automatically fall off.

Lin Jie frowned, even if their attacks had no effect on him, but after deducting the durability of the caste, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Reckless swing!

A bolt of lightning fell on the heads of the villagers, and the first villager fell.

The other 2 also died without any suspense.

Lin Jie stood in place, restored his HP to full value, and began to patrol the blacksmith shop.

When you walk in front of the iron furnace, a crisp system prompt sounds.

- System prompt: You scouted the blacksmith shop, and as you crouched down, you felt a chill from the blazing stove.

Lin Jie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly squatted down.

This fire is actually dark green!

Who can forge with dark green undead fire? It must be a blacksmith here!

Lin Jie looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see the figure of the blacksmith.

However, a book was found underneath the fire.

The Tale of Lamb the Blacksmith

-- System prompt: You slowly open the broken notebook and discover an astonishing fact. The plague of the undead was deliberately spread by the villagers. 'What is it that makes them so crazy?' You mumble to yourself, vowing to find the truth.

――System prompt: Find 'private house'.

It seems that the next few reconnaissance sites need to be investigated in order.

Lin Jie walked towards the marked house, and outside the house, there was also a ghoul.

- Timmy (Elite, Undead)

Level 32

Attack 110-135

Defense 40

HP 2400

Surname: Ghoul Eats (Ignores Armor)

Elite!

Lin Jie took a step back, but it was too late, the ghouls had already discovered Lin Jie!

But...... He didn't move, but instead covered his face with his claws, and his sickening pale face was blocked by its sharp claws, making it look more and more hateful.

His movements all show one thing - the ghoul is deliberately hiding from himself!

Lin Jie stepped forward, but the ghoul took a step back.

Something is wrong!

Lin Jie asked tentatively, "Can you understand me?" ”

The ghoul looked at Lin Jie with his tiny barely visible pupils, and nodded timidly.

He can communicate with himself!

"How did you end up like this? Are others still conscious? Lin Jie hurriedly asked.

The ghoul bent down in pain, shook his head, and his paws slashed at the ground for a while, and it was actually a broken doll! The ghoul spat out foul-smelling saliva, as if trying to clean the doll, but it got dirtier and dirtier.

The ghoul picked up the doll and seemed to ask Lin Jie to help him clean it.

Looking at the disgusting doll, Lin Jie frowned and took out a bag of spring water from his backpack, which was a spring that could restore mana.

Lin Jie took the doll and washed it with spring water, revealing the doll's original face.

It's a blonde, blue-eyed, finely crafted doll that looks cute.

The ghoul nodded vigorously, as if thanking Lin Jie.

He then made his way to a room.

Lin Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly followed!

Ghoul Timmy stood in front of a door for a long time, turned his head to look at Lin Jie, put the doll at Lin Jie's feet, put his head against the door, and motioned for Lin Jie to walk in.

Lin Jie picked up the doll suspiciously and pushed the door open.

"Brother Timmy, are you back?" A crisp girl's voice sounded, startling Lin Jie.

It was a beautiful girl, with a cute ponytail, fluffy brown hair, wearing an ordinary home dress, floating in the air, and happily floating towards the door.

It's a ghost!

The name is green, and the opinion is friendly.

She won't take the initiative to attack!

Lin Jie took out the doll and said, "Hello, Timmy asked me to hand over the doll to you." ”

"Great!" The girl flew over, hugged the doll tightly, blinked, looked at Lin Jie and said, "Are you a good person?" ”

Lin Jie nodded.

"Great, besides Brother Timmy, there are good people to accompany me." The girl smiled happily, and the name appeared on her head.

Pola.

"The uncles and aunts in the village have become so strange, they don't seem to like to laugh and they don't like to breathe anymore." The girl said innocently, "Dad asked me to wait in the house for him to come back, I was so lonely, but fortunately I had Brother Timmy with me...... But a few days ago, maybe a few months ago, Brother Timmy said he was going to help me get the doll and didn't come back. I'm so scared when I'm home alone...... My dad didn't come to see Para either. ”

- System Prompt: You investigated the house and found a ghost who did not die, and killed her.

Lin Jie was shocked.

And Para's name also began to change, becoming a neutral color, representing Lin Jie's ability to attack.

HP 100!
