Reluctantly invited?

The players looked at each other, and there was a little doubt in their eyes.

However, in the scenario quests, if you do more extra exploration, you may be able to complete some side quests and get key items - not necessary for clearing the level, but it can greatly reduce the difficulty of clearing the level.

"I can't make decisions for my teammates, but since it's your request, the village chief..."

Hohenheim nodded and said, "You can talk about it first." ”

"That's right,"

The village chief coughed, his eyes flashed, and said, "According to the records left by the ancestors, every brave team, after completing many trials, can be fulfilled a wish.

For example, resurrecting someone who is cherished and has died;

Save an empire whose edifice is about to fall;

Obtain powerful ancient technology blueprints;

This wishing opportunity is precious, but not without limits—when resurrecting the dead, the dead must not die for too long, and the body must be brought along with the body that has not completely decomposed;

In addition, the Wishing mechanic should not be too complicated - for example, saving an empire that is about to collapse does not make its ruler suddenly become a powerful and strategic ruler, but simply rains down on its infinite power to wipe out the enemies around the empire.

The desire to change the world, or to let the sun come out of the west, is unattainable. ”

"Oh?"

Hohenheim frowned slightly and exchanged glances with his teammates.

Players don't have the same strong sense of reverence for the so-called holy mountain as the indigenous inhabitants of this world.

The player base is arrogant and arrogant, any otherworldly element can be parsed, and any script native is just a stepping stone for the player to become stronger.

Although the people present did not despise everything in the script world like some extreme groups, the wishing mechanism for the Holy Mountain was more regarded as some kind of [Holy Grail]-like high-mystery transcendent item.

Vigilance is greater than longing for emotion.

The village chief was immersed in the story, and did not notice the other party's cold mood, and said to himself: "In addition, our village will also summarize some rules according to the brave team that came down from the mountain.

For example, the more difficult the trial you complete, the higher the degree of completion.

The greater the scope of the wish, the more perfect the wish will be.

For example, it is also to make people immortal, some may live for more than two hundred years and then die of aging, and some immortals may directly turn people into elves and other immortal species, and live for four or five hundred years.

In addition, if you stubbornly ask for a difficult wish that does not meet the completion of your trial, or if you show disrespect for the sacred mountain during the wish making process, the wish will also become a curse.

If the person who wishes to live forever becomes an immortal stone, or the person who tries to destroy the world becomes a madman, in his mind and cognition, the world has been destroyed, and to some extent the wish has been fulfilled. ”

The village chief paused, covered his mouth and coughed violently: "Ahem, cough, cough, cough,

In fact, these contents are all I, as the guardian of the holy mountain, should not tell the brave adults,

To a certain extent, my current behavior has seriously violated the ancestral motto of not interfering with the team of brave people and allowing them to develop freely.

When I die, I may not be able to face my ancestors and ancestors..."

Tut...

The muscles at the corners of Hohenheim's mouth moved, and the meaning of the other party's words was naturally that he had revealed so much valuable information, and hoped that his side could also pay the corresponding reward.

However, what the village chief said is indeed of some value.

Hohenheim nodded and said, "If you have any requirements, village chief, we will definitely meet them as much as possible without affecting the completion of the mission." ”

The goal of the current stage of the mission is to [kill the demonic beast, complete the commission of the village chief of the guardian clan, and get the key to the holy mountain],

The mission time limit is 18 hours.

I don't know if the [Completing the Village Chief's Mandate] in this refers to killing the monster and retrieving the masonry, or whether it also includes the conversation that is going on now.

If it's the latter... Hopefully, it won't take more than ten hours to complete, otherwise players will definitely have to use some unconventional means.

The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I want to take the liberty of knowing, all the brave lords, have you decided what kind of wish you want to make after entering the holy mountain and completing the trial. ”

Aspiration?

The players exchanged glances, not very eagerly.

Hohenheim coughed and said slowly, "Is this... My teammates and I haven't made a decision yet, and we may not be able to make a decision until we have completed the trial and faced the opportunity to make a wish.

After all, we came from a small place, and we have never seen a real case of wishing. ”

"Is that so..."

——————

The village chief rubbed his palms, gasped, and suddenly pleaded, "So, can you please make a wish to save our guardian village?" ”

"Huh?"

Hohenheim was stunned when he heard this, "What? ”

"Save our village."

The village chief's face was muscular, revealing an extremely sincere and sad expression, "Our village has been suffering from aging diseases for decades, from nearly 10,000 people in its heyday to less than 1,000 people today.

No one, regardless of origin, gender, or health, will live past the age of 30, or even die in his early twenties as skinny, senile, and premature as I am.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will not take three generations of hard work to destroy the village on its own.

I beg you to save us..."

With that, the village chief dropped his crutches, stepped off the sofa, and knelt down in front of the players with a bang, kowtowing.

"This..."

Hohenheim's brows furrowed, if in other circumstances, he didn't mind reaching out and helping casually,

But it's about a chance to make a wish,

If the wishing mechanism is deceptive, it's okay if the mana is limited.

If the wish limit is extremely high, it can really help the player...

He really doesn't have that much kindness.

And there are teammates next to him, and even if he agrees, his teammates may not be able to agree with each other.

"Village Chief, get up first."

Hohenheim stretched out his hand and pretended to help, but in fact released the hands of several mages, supported the hands, feet and limbs of the old village chief, and gently helped him up, so as not to break the old man's bones and trigger some punishment mechanism (this village is the guardian of the holy mountain, maybe it is also within the protection range of the thunder prohibition).

The village chief must have never watched the bitter TV series, and his face was not thick enough, so he didn't even say, "If you don't promise, I won't be able to kneel for a long time", he stood up honestly, and was gently pressed back into the sofa by the mage's hand.

"That's right,"

David, who was on the side, took over the conversation at the right time and politely refused: "We also want to help you, but our team members are from different places.

Some people want to save their country,

Some people want to make up for their lost lovers,

Some people want to find ancient technology,

Everyone has different aspirations and goals..."

"I can pay very well," said the village chief. ”

“... However, I believe that the pursuit of justice and kindness is engraved in the heart of every member of our team. It is incumbent upon us to petition for the people. ”

David added the second half of the sentence without changing his face, and said with a smile: "Please continue, I'm listening." ”

The change in attitude is so crisp and natural, without any delay, that it is worthy of coming out of the FBI.

His teammates gave him approving looks, but the village chief didn't notice this, and continued, "Uh... For a long time, our village has been the guardian of the sacred mountain, hosting brave groups of pilgrims from all over the world.

Before the war swept the outside world, our village was simply the hub of the world.

Countless brave people with their own legendary experiences in various places will sprinkle their blood and hope on the trial journey of the holy mountain, and at the same time, they will also bring the world's inventions and technologies to our village. ”

The village chief pointed to the furniture decorations in the spacious room with obviously different design styles, and said slowly: "Although our village did not deliberately collect it, in the long years, there were always some brave people who failed to pass the trial and died in the process.

Or after completing the trial and making a vow to leave,

Leave the items on your body and lose them in the Holy Mountain (of course, there are many brave people who directly give us some things that you don't need).

We have always kept these items well.

Unless the technology is lacking and the maintenance is not good, it has to be stored in the warehouse. ”

Hohenheim nodded, and on the way here, the player saw optical camouflage generation equipment with a similar level of technology to the real world, or even slightly exceeded, as well as many mechas, weapons, and armor with unknown functions.

Even if most of these things are rusted and scrapped, and they are brought back to the real world, they must have more or less research and analysis value.

If you can move back, it may be even more valuable than the final playthrough reward.

"If you agree to make a wish to cure the aging disease of our village after passing the trial, I can go against the ancestral teachings and give you a large number of inventory items to be selected by the heroes."

The village chief said in a deep voice: "The war in the outside world should become more and more serious and widespread, and it is not over yet, right?"

Every time there is a war, there will be island nations that are destroyed by extinction and a lot of technology is lost.

Therefore, the warehouse in our village may be the place where knowledge and technology are best preserved, and you will definitely not be fooled. ”

"What's this..."

Hohenheim frowned and glanced at Leon, who nodded, and opened the group heart connection technique to create a spiritual communication network.

Li Ang: [OK, the network is ready. What do you have to say? 】

Ambery: [Wow, a whole world of technological wealth.] Listening to what the village chief said before, this world used to drop something like a "traverser", right? As a result, each island nation will produce a completely different, and the degree of development is acceptable, tsk, if this is the door to the world, the major organizations in the current world must not fight for it, and beat out the dog's brain. 】

Hohenheim: [It's not pretty, but it's true. Whether it is the bell tower or the FBI, they must be willing to pay a sky-high price for this wealth. But...]

Ding Shinji: [But what? 】

Hohenheim: [If you have a life, you have to have a life. Remember what the village chief said? In this world, there will be traversers who accidentally fall from the sky, and in order to return to their original hometown, they will also become brave, go to the holy mountain to complete the trial, and finally make a wish to leave. This "leaving" is very ambiguous, what if leaving means teleporting out of this world and returning to this world? 】

David: [You mean...]

Hohenheim: [That's right, I think the final condition for clearing the game is likely to be that we make a wish to leave this scripted world after completing the trial. In other words, if we agree to the village chief's request now, we may not be able to complete the mission goal when it comes time to make a wish. 】

Ambery: [But we can also talk and not count, right?] Now pretend to promise the other party, and if you don't honor it when the time comes, you will run away with the money, isn't it the same? 】

Hohenheim: [The other side must have thought of it too.] If my guess is correct, the next thing the village chief is going to do is come up with a contract with occult concepts that can be enforced. This wealth is not so easy to take, and the system will not give away the opportunity to get rich in vain. 】

Ambery: [Tsk, that's a problem... Why don't we sign it now, and go to the top of the mountain to see the situation after signing, it's really not okay, use the release coupon, bypass the mission goal, and get out of the script task? Belch... Wait, I didn't say it. If it is all wealth, one exit coupon is worth it, and if it is divided into six parts according to the six of us, then it is not worth using the release coupon. 】

David: [yes.] Although the wealth that is shared is good, it is not worth it compared to the script release coupon that is directly equivalent to a chance for a life. According to the information collected by our FBI, when the door world is fully opened, the follow-up missions are likely to become more and more difficult, and even the first-tier players whose strength far exceeds the original scripted mission increasing difficulty mechanism cannot guarantee their own life safety. What's more, there is no one in our group who is particularly short of money in the real sense. There are also a lot of expensive epic equipment items in the mall...]

[I don't have it. 】

Leon's calm voice sounded in the spiritual network link,

Everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, only to see Li Ang leaning against the wall of the room, rubbing his beard with his own faucet's mask,

Coughing lightly, he cleared his throat and said slowly: "Your Excellency the village chief, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am a well-trained professional physician with very rich clinical experience.

Specializing in the treatment of disobedience and various incurable diseases,

For example, in order to prevent the patient from committing suicide by cutting his wrists, he was preemptively amputated;

performing backflips and flips during surgery to bring dying patients to life;

Playing infarction every day leads to self-healing of myocardial infarction patients;

In order to cure the patient's persecution paranoia, the patient is truly persecuted;

If you don't mind, I can diagnose the inhabitants of the village and see if they can cure the Progeria disease in the village without the help of the wishing mechanism. ”
