Chapter 234: Got the Wrong Person?
"It's weird, why hasn't Vina come out yet?" Looking at the silent cemetery around us, we looked around in confusion for a long time, and there was no sign of Vina breaking the ground. In the end, it was Yinxue who reacted relatively quickly. "Isn't there a summoned creature in Purple **? Put it out and help find it. Vina's tombstone should have her name on it. â
"That's right." I snapped my fingers, and there was instantly a large group of Death Guards around me. "Go check the writing on the grave and see if there's one named Vina."
The Grim Reaper guards didn't even answer, and immediately turned around and looked for each other. The crowd was naturally fast, and in less than twenty seconds, a Grim Reaper guard reported finding Vina's grave. In fact, the tomb where Vina is located is not far from us, and it is about ten meters apart. When we ran over, we saw Vina's name on the tombstone, but strangely enough, the grave bag behind the tombstone was not covered there at all.
"Strange, why didn't Vina come out?" Looking at the intact tomb bag, the Peacock Hades asked suspiciously.
Yin Xue said: "No matter what the reason, dig her out first." â
I nodded, told them all to step back, and then reached out and summoned Lucky. Although dragons generally do not burrow, the huge dragon claws are not white. A slap fanned the dirt bag high above the ground, and then two paws went down to the ground and there was a big hole in the ground. Afraid of hurting Vena below, Lucky began to dig up carefully, but even then it only took a few minutes to dig up the coffin.
After clearing the soil outside the coffin, Lucky carefully buckled the coffin with two paws. However, his claws had just lifted the coffin when it didn't feel right. "Huh? Why is it so light? â
"Light?" When I heard Lucky's words, I suddenly thought of a not-so-good situation, and before Lucky put the coffin on the ground, I stepped on Lucky's paws and lifted the lid of the coffin. "I'm X, what's going on?"
"What's wrong?" Yinxue and the Peacock Hades flew to me as they asked, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the situation inside the coffin.
We were sealed in a coffin, but there was an empty coffin except us. But it's also the other way around, since our names are written on the tombstone, it is normal for us to have only ourselves in the coffin. But now Vena's coffin is different. Although it is true that the tombstone says Vina, when we lift the lid of the coffin, what we see is not an empty coffin, and there is no Vina inside, at least not a living Vina.
There was a skeleton lying in the coffin that was supposed to contain Vina, and from what I know about the anatomy of the human body, it should be the skeleton of a woman, and it is unclear whether it is Vina's bones or not. But, in any case, it is true that the living Vina is not in the coffin.
"Hell, where are the people?" Looking at the empty coffin with only one skeleton left, Yinxue and I both looked at each other and couldn't figure out the situation at all.
"The ......"
Just as we were in a daze, the guy who was almost trampled to death by me suddenly raised a hand and whispered two words.
Suddenly seeing that the guy seemed to be about to speak, the eyes of the three of us were focused at once, and that guy finally realized his actual status after the previous "stampede" and listening to Yinxue's explanation, coupled with the threat of so many summoned creatures nearby, so this guy's attitude Lima made a 180-degree U-turn.
"What are you going to say?" Seeing that guy didn't dare to speak, I couldn't help but ask out loud.
Hearing my inquiry, he hurriedly pointed to a grave without a tombstone not far away and said, "That...... The companions of the three great gods may be in there. â
The three of us followed his fingers to the empty grave over there, then turned back to look at him with a little surprise and asked, "How do you know?" â
"As you know, we are bound by a contract." Speaking of this, the guy hurriedly explained: "Of course, this kind of small contract must be invalid for you." I just want to tell you that because the contract is stored in zĂ i, I can confirm the location of several people anytime and anywhere. Like now, I can clearly feel a contractual connection extending into the tomb. â
Before the guy could continue, we were running to the edge of the empty grave. This time, I didn't need to give an order, but Lucky directly pulled the dirt from the grave and lifted the coffin out with three or two clicks.
The first person to find out that something was wrong was lucky, because he could feel that the weight of the empty coffin was wrong. As soon as he grabbed the coffin this time, he immediately said, "There are people here." â
As if in response to his words, as soon as he heard the sound of luck, there was a knocking sound from inside the coffin. "Help, is anyone outside? Get me out, I'm suffocating."
"Lucky."
Before I could finish speaking, Lucky dismantled the coffin like an eggshell, and the people in the coffin fell to the ground. But when we saw that man, we were all dumbfounded.
"Children of the Night? How are you? What about Vina? â
That's right, the person who fell out of the coffin was not Vina, but the Child of the Night. Now I can understand why no one came out after the mission started. The Children of the Night are different from us, this kid is a necromancer, and he doesn't have the destructive power of ours, so he can't blast through the planks and thick dirt on the roof. Of course, the Children of the Night are capable of teleportation, but there is a problem with his teleportation, that is, he can't teleport too far at once, and it is difficult to complete the teleportation in unseen places. He was sealed in the deep dirt just now, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so naturally he couldn't teleport indiscriminately.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" After the Children of the Night came out, he first coughed violently, and it took a long time for him to catch his breath. Whew, almost suffocated"
"Hey, I said, why did you kid run in? What about Vina? The Peacock Hades stepped forward and grabbed the children of the night by the shoulders and lifted him up from the ground as if he were hugging the altar.
The Children of the Night also seemed to realize that they were not in the right position, and after looking left and right for a while, they exclaimed, "Oops, so I fell into the mission space."
"What do you mean by falling in?"
"It's literally, you fell in."
After some explanations from the Children of the Night, we finally figured out what was going on after we entered, well, it should have been after Silver Snow entered.
Actually, things are pretty simple. First of all, the Peacock Hades and I entered the mission space inside the Gate of Truth, and then Yinxue followed. Originally, Vena should have entered the mission space after this, but at this time, the Night Child happened to come to Vena because he had something to do, so he happened to bump into him the moment the Night Child appeared and pushed him into the space door.
That's right, it's pushed forward. The Son of the Night, who heard that Vena had come to the Tower of Truth with me after he didn't find Vena in the Temple of Chaos and Order, chased after him, but because he was in a hurry, he didn't leave the door, but teleported directly to the tower. Because he had been to the Tower of Truth before, he probably knew the structure near the Gate of Truth, so he was not afraid of getting stuck in the wall even through the walls of the Tower of Truth, and the result was that he teleported himself to the front of the Gate of Truth very accurately. However, just as he appeared, Vina was about to enter the door, but unprepared, Vina bumped into the child of the night who suddenly appeared. Although the Child of the Night is a man, Vina is a goddess, and no matter how strong a man is, he can't withstand the impact of the goddess. So...... So this poor traffic accident pushed the Children of the Night into the Gate of Truth, and the Gate of Truth closed as soon as it was full, and Vina couldn't get in even if she wanted to.
"So you came here in such a daze?" I asked, helplessly looking at the Children of the Night.
"Well, it's coming in anyway, what else can I do?"
"Then there's no way" Yinxue looked at me and said, "Anyway, he's coming in, even if he wants to change people." I think it's better for us to hurry up and get the job done. â
I thought about it and had no choice but to accept the status quo, but a good strong fighter suddenly became a child of the night, which made me a little depressed. It's not that the Children of the Night are useless, in terms of the player's combat power level, the strength of the Children of the Night is actually above the level. But the problem is that this is a god-level mission, what's the matter with a player above the average combat power? It's like somebody who is playing basketball really well in school, but you bring him to the NBA, and he can't be played to death? The Children of the Night may have no problem with ordinary players, but if he encounters a god-level storage zĂ i, his strength will be enough
"Or I'm hiding here?" The Children of the Night didn't seem very happy to see me, and said with some embarrassment. After all, nine percent of the accident was caused by him, and Vena's responsibility was at most that she failed to react in time to brake the car.
I'm a little depressed, but I'm not to the point of blaming the Children of the Night. After waving my hand, I said, "Forget it, come in, just come in." Anyway, this task does not count the completion degree, and even if you die in battle, it will not affect the task reward. From now on, you will follow us, but you don't have to meddle in the battle, just protect yourself. â
"Okay, I promise not to cause you any trouble." The Children of the Night knew they had made a mistake, so they kindly promised that they would not cause us any trouble.
Since all the mission personnel have arrived, and the mission scroll has also appeared, the next step is to start doing the mission. Of course, you have to figure out the content of the task before you do that.
The unfolded scroll is not written with a simple mission goal or anything, but with a mission requirement. The goal of this quest is not fixed, as long as the quest requirements are met, and the requirements of this quest are directly related to the guy who has a contractual relationship with us, as Yinxue said before.
"I didn't expect it to be such a mission, but fortunately I didn't kill him just now." I said as I turned to the guy we had thrown aside. With the lessons he had learned before, he was much cuter now than before. Those who know the times are Junjie, which is not bad at all.
"Look, great gods, now that your companion has been found, can I go?" This guy now knows that he can't manipulate us at all, so the only thing he has left is to stay as far away from us as possible. It's like putting a nuclear bomb next to you, and if it's controlled by you, that's fine, but if the detonator is in someone's hands, that's a different story.
This guy has something to do with our mission, how can I let him go? "Hehe, do you want to leave so soon?" Seeing that guy's scared look, I deliberately pretended to be evil and continued to scare him. Anyway, this kind of person belongs to the typical type of toasting and not eating and drinking, and it is far more useful to scare him half to death than to politely say good things to him.
"Well, do you have any other commands?"
"Of course." I smiled and stretched out four fingers and said, "Since you have resurrected all four of us, then, in return, each of us can grant you one wish, and four people plus one piece is four wishes." As long as the task you say is not beyond our capabilities, we will definitely help you do it. But......" I said in a deliberately long tone here, "every wish you make cannot be changed. If we can fulfill this wish, then we will help you fulfill it, and if your wish is beyond our ability, then the wish will automatically be nullified. So...... You'd better not think about things out of reach. Well, now let's start saying your first wish. Oh yes, by the way, the preparation time for each of your wishes is ten minutes, and if you don't think of a wish within ten minutes, the wish will be automatically invalidated. So I asked you to think about the next wish in an instant while we help you fulfill your first wish. Alright, the timing begins. â
As soon as he heard what I said, the guy was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unconvinced, but looking at us, it didn't seem to be amusing him, so he asked uncertainly, "What you said is true?" â
"You don't care if it's true or not, make a wish, come out and see if I can help you fulfill it, don't you know?"
I didn't expect to answer like this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that we really had no reason to lie to him, so he began to circle in front of us, desperately thinking about this wish, which was very important to him.
In fact, the content of the task we saw earlier is to help this guy fulfill four wishes, and as long as all four wishes are used up, and one of us is still alive, then the task is completed, and if he makes a wish that is beyond our ability to lead to the wish to be invalidated, then we have successfully completed a wish.
It sounds like this task is not very difficult, anyway, you don't need to do tasks that are beyond your ability, and all you need to do are tasks that are within your ability, isn't it easy? However, this is not the case. In fact, the scrolls given by the Gate of Truth have detailed descriptions of the mission rules, including definitions that are beyond the scope of ability. This definition is actually quite narrow, and the items that include it are only the abilities that we don't have, such as conjuring a creature that doesn't exist out of thin air, or something, and things that are too much beyond our combat power, such as asking us to destroy all the creatures in this world, except for the above two, all the tasks that can be completed by relying on our strength, that is not called ability.
Because of the above reasons, although we are putting on a very scary face now, we are actually praying in our hearts that this guy will not report his wishes, in case he says that he wants to become the god of this world, then we might as well just announce the failure of the mission.
I don't know if it's because our prayer took effect, or if the guy is going to waste a wish first to test whether the wish is true or false, but his first wish is more brain-dead. This kid actually asked us for money.
"I want money. It costs a lot of money. That's what the kid said.
Originally, I really wanted to count him down, but I actually overdid it and asked us to help him make money, but because I was worried that he would increase the difficulty of the task in the future, I still resisted this impulse, and instead pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "This is not beyond our ability, but it is a little different from our ability." But rest assured, our credibility is guaranteed. If you want money, then we will give you money. How much do you want? There have to be specific numbers or something, right? Also, do you have any restrictions on which currency or equivalent you want? By the way, what do you use as currency? â
"Currency?" The guy quickly pulled out a bunch of things from his body and piled them up in front of us and said, "This is our money here." â
The Peacock Hades picked up a few of the coins and looked at them, then said, "It's ordinary copper, silver, and gold, and the three currencies should represent three currencies of different values." â
I asked the guy right away. "Is it possible to use gold instead of gold coins?"
"Absolutely."
"And how much do you want? It's too many, but it's beyond our reach. You've got to think about it. â
"Hmm...... Lakh...... Oh no, 80,000, 80,000 gold coins or gold equivalent. This isn't out of scope, is it? "Actually, the guy kept staring into my eyes while he was shouting, but unfortunately his little slippery head didn't work for me. He was going to look at my expression to judge the price increase, but as soon as he shouted 100,000, I made a surprised expression, and he was so frightened that he quickly reduced the number, for fear that the guide task would be invalidated.
"Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, although it is a bit much, but it is not an impossible task. Alright, you wait here with the Nightchild, and we'll help you get the money. â
After handing that guy over to the Children of the Night, we flew straight away. Of course, this trip is not specifically to get money for that guy, and we plan to get a general understanding of the environment here by the way, otherwise the task will definitely be troublesome in the future. As for where the money came from...... Does this need to be asked? We can't mine and mint coins ourselves, can we? V
