412. Welcome to the Fire Transmission Shrine
Javier's speech touched many people. Many people in the square knelt down and burst into tears, thanking him for his kindness.
Nan Xiao watched coldly, thinking that Javier would not think that he would be confused by a misconception.
Continuing to listen to it was nothing more than some confusion, he returned to the inside of the temple and found a room to sit down and rest.
Not long after, Javier finished his speech and returned to his room.
Stepping into the room, the old man glanced at Nan Xiao, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency the Brave, you are a smart person, I can talk to you in a smart way." Not the people in the square just now. ”
"Oh?"
"As you can probably tell, there's really nothing we can do to deal with the undead plague. At best, home quarantine can only delay the outbreak of the plague, and it is impossible to cure it radically. Eventually, this plague will infect everyone. It should be dyed and dyed, and no one can avoid it. But I can't tell them the truth directly. Cutting off hope will be too much for them to bear. So I can only give them some false hope and make them feel that things are not too bad. ”
"I see."
"The world is supported by knights and clergy, and by ordinary soldiers, peasants, and market vendors...... They are nothing more than appendages of the kingdom. They didn't contribute much to the world, but they were troublesome when they rioted. So I can only appease them, and then solve the problem of the undead plague by other means. ”
Sure enough, he came back again, and Nan Xiao asked, "Is the so-called other way me?" ”
"To be precise, it's to make the first fire vigorous again. The root of the plague of the undead lies in the decline of the first fire. The land of Rhodeland carries too many people. They are all draining the power of the first fire. While the share of each person may not seem like much, there are just too many. Since the end of the war against the ancient dragons, Rodland has prospered for a long time. The long peace overwhelmed the first fire. Without injecting new energy into the first fire, there is no way to remove the plague. ”
Speaking of this, Javier looked at Nan Xiao eagerly: "There are some powerful beings who have been robbing the energy of the First Fire for many years. Therefore, we have to defeat them and release the energy they occupy again, so as to solve the problem of the fading of the initial fire. ”
Nan Xiao nodded: "So you want me to kill those boss-level characters and snatch back the first fire energy, right?" ”
"Boss? This statement is interesting. That's right, that's actually what we expect from you. ”
"Understood. But what's in it for me? I'm not infected with the undead plague, and I'm not from the world of Rodland, so why risk my life to kill those powerful bosses? ”
Javier seemed to have expected Nan Xiao to ask this, and immediately said: "Killing those powerful existences, oh, those bosses, is also of great benefit to you." Each of them had gained tremendous soul energy from the Primordial Fire Origin. Just kill them, and you'll get endless power from them, even comparable to the gods of Arnorrond! ”
"And then give that power back to the First Fire?"
"No, no, no, you're mistaken. How much energy you can loot is your own. As you know, you can't take everything you don't have, and some of it will escape into the world. With that part, it is enough to strengthen the first fire. ”
This is a completely different setting from the game, Nan Xiao heard it for the first time. Dare to love this fire is an act of sharing spoils. Some of the pigs were fattened and killed by Nan Xiao. Then everyone will share the flesh and bones, and everyone will have to earn.
Well, it doesn't seem to look bad either.
"You can try," Nan Xiao said, "Can you recommend a weaker boss to me?" I want to practice my hands first. ”
Javier was overjoyed. "Of course," he promised, "your firefighter will arrange everything for you." All you have to do is make a sortie and return triumphantly. ”
Under the leadership of Anastasia, Nan Xiao came to the fire sacrifice ground.
"This is where the heroes of the past generations of fire have set out," the Firefighter said, with a look of sacredness and reverence, "and they left here to crusade against the mighty demons and unleash their stolen primordial fire energy. When the mission was over, they came back here, resting by the campfire, wiping their weapons, playing the piano and singing," her expression darkened suddenly, "There are also many heroes, and they will never return." ”
The so-called fire festival is actually a small-scale church. The walls are painted everywhere with the deeds of God, all of which are brainwashing propaganda of the White Religion. To be honest, it's a bit old and not very well maintained. Nan Xiao quickly noticed the cracks in the pillars, as well as the stains in the corners. In a damp corner, some moss quietly grows. Through the hole in the wall, you can see the hillside outside. A huge crow's nest sits across the hillside, and it's too desolate.
"It's strange to see everything, you're new? It's been a long time since I've seen a new arrival. ”
The sound of decadence rang out in the dimly lit corners of the sacrificial ground. Nan Xiao pulled his gaze back, only to find that there was a person sitting there.
This bearded knight, the sense of presence is too low. He sat on the corner step with his legs spread and tossed his sword aside. The gray and black plate armor on his body was so dirty that he couldn't see the insignia clearly, and if he hadn't moved it, it was really no different from a large garbage bag.
The Decadent Knight continued, "I suppose you were fooled by that old Javier fellow. The mission of spreading fire and immortals, saving Rodland or something...... It's the same for everyone. In fact, by the time the dark brand appears on you, everything is already over. For this world, there is not much difference between you coming here to work hard and lying in the Northern Immortal Courtyard. Maybe it's wise for you to stay in the Immortal House all the time. ”
I'll go, isn't this a discouraged brother! Sure enough, there has been such a person in the past generations.
Anastasia was very unhappy and pulled Nan Xiao away quickly. "There's something wrong with the knight's head," she said, "and we'll ignore him." ”
"Who is he?" Nan Xiao inquired with great interest.
"Who knows. It is said that it was a knight from Kalim, and it seems that he also spread fire, and then a companion died...... And then it became like this. He stayed at the fire sacrifice ground all day long, and he didn't go out. When you see a newcomer, you say a bunch of frustrating things. Don't bother with him. If you talk to him too much, the whole person will become gray and gray. ”
The fire-fighting woman earnestly taught and wanted to guide the fire-spreading warriors on the right path. However, when he turned around, Nan Xiao was gone? When I looked at it again, I actually ran to chat with Brother Frustrated! The fireproof woman was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"You're supposed to be a person with a story, right?" Nan Xiao looked at the discouraged brother with great interest, and said, "Where have you been, who have you defeated, are you willing to talk?" ”
The discouraged brother looked at Nan Xiao: "...... You're really eager to spread the fire. It doesn't matter, I'll teach you. There are Chaos Demons in this world. The fire in their bodies contains very strong power. To pass the fire is to defeat these demons, kill them, and dig out their hearts and bring them back to the Fire Girl. The woman next to you, she will perform a ritual to transmit the power of the demon's heart to the first fire through a bonfire. It is said that as long as enough demon hearts are recovered, the first fire will grow stronger, banishing the undead plague and restoring Rodlan's former glory. Who knows, though? At least as far as I'm concerned, I never felt like things were getting any better. No matter how hard you try, it's still like that...... Let's go, there's no need to listen to my nagging, go kill the demons. Didn't you come to this cursed land of the undead for this purpose? Hehehehehe......"
The discouraged brother let out a burst of empty laughter, and then hung his head and ignored Nan Xiao.
