Chapter 0009: Dilemma

Who is Bane?

And who is Ciric?

Zhou Qingfeng didn't know at all.

In his eyes, the gods are the broken things of wooden clay sculptures, and they are used by tourist attractions to cheat money. Whoever believes is stupid!

Even if he knew that there were really gods in this world of swords and magic, he still refused to admit the existence of the other party-gods, they were nothing more than powerful monsters. Is there a difference between being ten times more powerful than me and ten thousand times stronger? I can't beat it anyway.

As for this nonsense guy in front of him, he should be a psychopath.

The tortured person was muttering the name 'Ciric', and Zhou Qingfeng had lost interest in this guy. He turned to Todd and entered the village council chamber.

In order to strengthen the defense, the white crow village occupies a small area. Many of the buildings become multi-purpose. The council chamber was more like a jovial-seeking tavern, with a crude and large round table in the center, around which a group of men drank and discussed loudly.

The Black Forest is bitterly cold, and food is not produced, and alcohol needs to be transported from the outside world, and the price is very expensive. But it is precisely because of the bitter cold that the adventurers who beg for a living here are all good at drinking, and they love to drink two sips when they have nothing to do, one to warm their bodies, and the other to anesthetize themselves.

After all, life here is too hard.

Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the door of the conference hall and was choked by the strong smell of wine inside.

Todd sat at the round table and held a large wooden glass, slapping the table while tilting his head to pour wine. The other adventurers in the village were noisy and shouting, not knowing what they were arguing about, only listening to the scolding that shook the sky, as if they might fight at any moment.

Above the round table, the pale-faced Lukans looked impatient with the noise, and shouted: "Enough, no matter how much quarrel there is, there is no point in arguing."

Just follow my plan, and I have to find out what those Bane believers are trying to do. I don't want to regret being killed by the demons they summoned. ”

Lukans was the boss of the village, and after he made his decision, even if some people did not approve of it, he no longer objected. After all, the horror of the Bane believers is well known, and there must be no letting down of one's guard.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Qingfeng came in close to the corner, and no one explained to him from beginning to end. He wanted to ask Todd, but the barbarian was pouring wine around the round table, and it seemed that he would not stop until he had enough of it.

This question was whispered, and a voice in the same corner asked, "Boy, where are you from?" ”

As soon as Zhou Qingfeng turned around, he saw a looming humanoid silhouette in the shadow of the corner.

'Shadow hiding'.

He's a thief too.

The other party's level is obviously higher than Zhou Qingfeng, holding a cup of slightly steaming hot drink, wearing a leather coat, but wearing a hood that covers his head and face, and he can't see his face at all. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, it would have been difficult for outsiders to find him.

"I'm with Todd." Zhou Qingfeng replied.

"Todd?" The one in the shadows glanced at the barbarian at the round table, "When did Todd make a thief friend?" But he looked down on those of us who walked in the dark. ”

Hehe...... Zhou Qingfeng laughed twice, diverted the topic and asked, "I just heard someone talking about 'the resurrection of the evil god', what happened in the village?" And the guy hanging outside who is being pumped keeps shouting 'Bane', who is Bane? ”

The man in the shadows was even more surprised, and he asked again, "Boy, you don't even know who Bane is?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head.

The other party looked at him carefully.

"Forget it, at least the god of tyranny can't have an ignorant believer like you." The man in the shadows sighed and explained, "The Black Forest is very dangerous, and the only way to connect with the outside world is a road called the 'Goblin Plank Road'.

The road has always been controlled by a tribe of goblins called Magru. But just yesterday, the goblins blocked the boardwalk. If the road was impassable, a dozen human villages throughout the Black Forest would not be refried, and more than 2,000 people would starve to death.

Road closures are terrible, but they are even worse.

Old Hughes of Greymud sent a messenger to Lukanth, saying that he wanted to discuss how to deal with the current situation. But last night Lukanth found out that the messenger was a follower of the evil god Bane.

So things are complicated, and God knows if there are other conspiracies hidden in this? ”

The man in the shadows shrugged his shoulders and took a sip from his teacup.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't seem to understand, "That is to say, it is very likely that the believers of the evil god planned all this, in order to kill more than a dozen human villages in the Black Forest?" ”

"Who knows?" The man in the shadows sneered, "Bane is the god of tyranny, and it prefers enslavement, oppression, and destruction. Maybe the masterminds behind this are trying to turn us all into slaves.

Some people want to take advantage of the fact that there are still supplies in the village to raid the 'Goblin Plank Road' in one go and escape from the Black Forest. However, Lukans was reluctant to give up his family business, and he wanted to send someone to contact other human villages to find out the situation. If you want to escape, you should run together.

To add insult to injury, the old Hughes of the Stucco Village is likely to have betrayed. So how many people in other villages can be trusted? Actually, I don't think it's credible. ”

The man in the shadows kept speaking sarcastically, as if it was none of his business.

Zhou Qingfeng has never suffered hardships, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they don't know what to be afraid of. He didn't think much of it, and then asked, "You just said that Bane is the god of tyranny, so is there any one named Cirek among the gods?" ”

"How can you call my lord 'Dark Sun' by his name?" The man in the shadows suddenly spoke in a cold tone, "You are also a thief, don't you believe in the god of murder?" ”

What ......, the god of murder?

Zhou Qingfeng was confused and stunned.

This god of murder doesn't sound like a good thing, but I'm afraid he's just as evil as Bane.

The one in the shadow slowly left the corner of the wall and approached Zhou Qingfeng. Beneath his hood reveals a young face, a man in his mid-twenties, emaciated. He seemed to want to ask a few questions, but someone suddenly broke in from outside the council hall and shouted......

"That Bane's believer is dead."

The conference hall was originally noisy, but everyone immediately fell silent when they heard this.

The forest ranger Lukans is assigning tasks to several other villages to investigate. Hearing this, he staggered to his feet and hurried out of the chamber.

There were originally more than a dozen people crowded around the big round table, and they all rushed out with Lu Kansi. Even the one in the shadows left like a gust of wind, and he didn't embarrass Zhou Qingfeng anymore.

Only Zhou Qingfeng, who was still stunned, and Todd, who was about to get drunk in ......, were left in the conference hall for a while.

The barbarian hadn't drunk for two days, and it was almost his life, and he couldn't wait to soak in a barrel at the moment.

Zhou Qingfeng ran to Todd's side in small steps, pushed the other party a few times, and asked, "I said brother, it seems to be in a lot of trouble now, how can you still drink so much?" Want to be caged by goblins again? ”

At the mention of 'goblins' and 'cages', Todd immediately sobered up. He slammed the table and scolded loudly, "Damn old Xius, he actually dared to take refuge in the evil god Bane and sold me to the goblins. I can't spare him.

Let's go, we'll go for trouble with Old Hughes now. ”

After speaking, the burly Todd didn't care whether Zhou Qingfeng agreed or not. More than two meters tall, he picked up Zhou Qingfeng, grabbed the latter and walked out. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't protest and was taken outside the conference hall again.

Not far from the council chamber was the torture rack.

A group of people, including Lukans, were surrounding the tortured people hanging from the torture rack. I heard someone inside shouting in horror: "It's strange, this guy is not only dead. Even the soul is completely gone.

This is completely counterintuitive. We ...... that we may really be targeted by evil gods. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng was a little creepy, as if something evil was watching him on his back.
