Chapter 0139: Evil Lair
Tambos returned to the tavern in a hurry, but in the end he still didn't buy the information in the hands of the 'Shadow'. He originally thought that with his friendship with Zhou Qingfeng, it was common for him to take some information about the Black Forest in vain, but 'Shadow Shadow' said that he had to ask 'Holy Light'.
The Skeleton War Horse demonstrated on the spot how to contact the 'Holy Light', that is, by silently reciting the word 'Holy Light' in his heart, he could hear the crisp voice of a little girl - Hello, what can the Holy Light do for you?
Tambos tried, was scared and didn't want information, and just ran away - the voice that came to his head out of thin air was too weird for that wizard to like someone to break into their heads.
But Tambos returned to the tavern, and before he could enter the room to digest what he had just learned, Fabro called him over and closed the door.
"You ......, call on the Light." Fabro ordered with a serious expression.
The apprentice wizard was in a state of panic and asked rhetorically, "Teacher, what happened?" β
Fabro grimaced, "I suspect there is an evil god in the Black Forest. β
"The Bann Church's presence in the Black Forest has been destroyed." Tambos was also taken aback.
But Fabro shook his head slightly, "No, it's not Bane. It could also be a powerful demon. This demon is in this village of harmony. As he spoke, he pointed to the rolls of paper spread out on the table, "All of this information is true. β
It cost fifty gold coins, which is a lot of money, can it be true?
Fabro frowned, "I've been studying Silver Leaf City for decades, but my harvest for decades is not as good as the paper scroll I bought with these fifty gold coins. Any map here is clearer than what I wrote in my private notes.
I originally thought that the information I bought for fifty gold coins would be worth a lot as long as one or two of the contents were true. But the information was all true, and instead of making me happy, I was afraid.
I even wanted to find out what was wrong, but many of the contents were impossible to fake, and only the elves who lived here knew about them. If we had had obtained this information earlier, we would not have suffered such a tragic failure in this expedition. β
Tambos knew what his teacher meantβfifty gold coins were expensive, but compared to the information advantages brought by these paper scrolls, it was a lot of money. After all, it can reduce the death of many people, so as not to make it useless.
Fabro continued: "I was blown away when I saw the scrolls. I remembered the 'big secret' that the skeleton war horse had said, so I silently called out to the 'Holy Light' in my heart. And guess what happened? β
For the teacher's surprise, Tambos wanted to complain. But when I think about the situation when I called for the 'Holy Light', I really didn't have the mood to laugh at my teacher for being like a dirt bun.
Believers call out to the gods, and the gods are likely to never reply. But Fabro called out to the 'Holy Light', and the next second, a little girl's voice appeared in his brain, "Hello, what can the Holy Light do for you?" β
It's horrible to have such an easy, fast and undelayed reply!
Fabro was not an ignorant fool, he was so frightened that he lost his voice.
In the Northland, where the Iron Curtain shrouds, there is a powerful obstacle to the connection between the gods and the believers. In the past, no matter who called the name of a deity, the deity would know the cause and effect of the relevant conversation - so the name of the deity could not be shouted indiscriminately.
But in the Northlands, just shout it, the gods don't know anyway - only the most devout believers can have a fragile connection with the gods. Either this god is under the Iron Curtain, like Ciric.
Ignorant and ignorant of what it meant for the Light to respond so effectively, Fabro knew it. But after reading the information on the scroll, he became more curious about the 'Holy Light'.
Tambos was also puzzled and asked, "Teacher, why do you have to call out to the Light?" β
Fabro replied, "We are likely to be shrouded in the mental magic of a powerful demon. It's better for you to call out the Light. β
Tambos was furious when he heard this, and it was clear that he was using his own students as test subjects. But what he didn't know was that after Fabro shouted 'Holy Light', he was asked to register his true information before he could receive the service. He wanted to say his identity nonsense, but he was found out one by one.
After Zhou Qingfeng asked Sophia to manage the information network, he hoped from the beginning to eliminate the root cause of the chaos on the Internet - the real-name system for Lao Tzu. If you don't reveal your true identity, don't want to enter the information age.
At the beginning, the soul of the boy touched the priesthood of 'lies', touched its essential law, and freed itself from its control. Unless the strength reaches the legendary level, no one can deceive the current Zhou Qingfeng, and there is no way to deceive Sophia, who controls the information network.
This ability to 'discern lies' is the root cause of Fabro's horror, and not being able to lie is a great pain for him.
But since the teachers didn't dare to call the 'Holy Light' casually, Tambos didn't dare to do so. He also made up his identity casually, and he also failed to pass the verification. However, he has gained a deeper understanding from the 'Shadow', and now he is acting as a 'repeater'.
"The Light does not hide its presence, and all the villages of the Black Forest are calling on her. She can answer a lot of questions and provide a lot of services. For example, why can the houses in this Harmony Village be built so quickly? It's because of her assistance.
The 'Holy Light' connects the villagers involved in the construction and directs their actions in a unified manner. Even the paychecks and meals are supervised, and anyone who wants to be greedy and lazy will be easily caught out. So the people here are very efficient. β
Fabro did not care about the efficiency of the untouchables, he only instinctively felt that the 'Holy Light' of the Harmony Village was a great threat. But he couldn't tell what the specific threat was, and he always felt that this ability to contact at any time and identify lies was too rebellious.
It's incompatible with the current chaotic social environment.
"This village is so weird, too evil. We are under surveillance, and those who pray to the Light will continue to leak our whereabouts. β
Fabro felt very uneasy at the thought that no matter what he did or said, he might be leaked out at any time by the people around him shouting 'holy light'.
If this ability is mastered by yourself, it is naturally excellent. It would be terrible to be able to be mastered by someone else.
"There's got to be a demon hiding in this village, maybe it's Victor. Hugo. I must leave as soon as possible and report back to Coldwind. β
Fabro said to leave, and called the rest of the team to leave, but when he got out, he had to find the village carriage. It would have been a pain to make it back to Coldwind on his own.
There are three carriages in the village every day to go to Coldwind City, and they will not leave until the time is over. Fabro waited anxiously, and could only wait outside the tavern as if nothing had happened. Finally, when the morning train was about to depart, a group of adventurers from Coldwind City arrived first.
Among the adventurers, a woman in a leather coat with a long whip on her waist jumped from the roof of the carriage, and after landing on the ground, she moved her hands and feet, looking curiously left and right. When she saw the 'Chief Alchemist' hurriedly approaching, she shouted, "Ah, isn't this the most annoying Fabro in Coldwind City. β
The woman is very short, so it would be more appropriate to say that she is a 'little girl'. She came over with a big grin and continued to shout, "Hey, Fabro, I know a man named Victor. Hugo's guys? I heard it was a child, and I was looking for him. β
Seeing this baby-faced 'little girl', Fabro immediately stepped back and covered his wallet first. He whispered, "Kelly? What are you doing here, thief? If you want to steal, you don't have to come to the Black Forest. β
The 'little girl' laughed, she straightened her chest, and said proudly: "Look clearly, you stupid melon." I will be a dark day elect from today onwards. Don't slander me as a thief anymore. Of course, I practice my skills when I have itchy hands. β
"The elect of the dark day?" Fabro was even more surprised, he saw the skull emblem of the 'little girl' with purple sun and white bones on her chest, and shouted in disbelief: "You are a halfling who has converted to the god of murder? And became a voter! β
The 'little girl' shrugged her shoulders and said happily, "I don't know why, but I'm a voter in the dark anyway." In the future, you bastards will show me some respect, I am not someone who can be bullied casually, and I will have a backer in the future.
The great god of murder has favored me, and I want to build a powerful Dark Sun Church, a magical kingdom that has never existed before, and I want to be the only queen in this world. β
The 'little girl' shook her whip and swaggered to find Victor. Hugo. Fabro sighed and wanted to get in the car. But another person got out of the carriage, and when they also met, they greeted him: "Ah......, isn't this His Excellency Fabro? β
The person who came was dressed very strangely, wearing dead branches on his head, poison ivy on his ears, and inexplicable tattoos on his face. Even the bits and pieces of ornaments on his body are terrifying, including a shrunken howling head.
"Jasten? How did you get here? Fabro called out the strange man's name, still with a little fear in his heart. Because of this step and three shakes, it seems that the guy who is a tuberculosis ghost is the priest of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and is quite famous in the Northland.
"The witch doctor here has written to me that there is a new leader in the Black Forest who may be able to accommodate aliens like me. So here I am. The strange man laughed. He looked around, stopped a villager and asked, "Where is Old Borg?" β
Fabro shook his head and sighed, realizing that the village was completely out of place. But there was an even more terrible guy coming down from the car, rickety and hunchbacked, and no one should enter. Except for the hand holding the wooden staff, which was exposed, his whole body was shrouded in a tattered black robe.
But the palm that was exposed, shriveled, gray, and rotten, like a mummy in a coffin. Fabro only looked at this outfit, and immediately jumped a few steps away in shock, and was fully absorbed in preparing for the immediate battle.
The black robe was slightly raised, and inside was a pair of dark red eyes. A hoarse laugh came from under his robes, "Fabro, long time no see." Oh...... you seem to be in big trouble, where is the beautiful robe that cost you a thousand gold coins? β
Fabro's forehead was sweating, and he was so engrossed that he didn't dare to be distracted. But he was actually terrified in his heart, because the guy opposite was a follower of the Lich God Visharon. Although the other party is not a powerful lich, he is a terrible necromancer.
The black-robed wizard sneered for a while, and whispered in a grinding wheel-like voice, "Get out of here, Fabro, I'm not interested in killing you coward right now." I don't want to be in trouble on my first day here, and the rulers here won't be happy. β
Fabro was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt that all the demons and monsters in the world had come to this strange village. He trembled and climbed into the carriage and urged the coachman to leave quickly, thinking to himself......
"Ciric's men are unreasonable lunatics, the priests of Talona love nothing more than poison and hatred, and the followers of Vishalon are necrophiles. Damn the Black Forest, damn Harmony Village, this will be a lair of evil forces. β
