(1) The enchantment of Yueyin Village (13)
At this point, Silent and Dory, who were already exhausted, immediately accepted Zero's proposal.
Void Mo took off his backpack, put the refreshing flower in, and then took out the Huicheng Stone and placed it between his intersecting hands, and a list of incantation notes immediately appeared in his mind.
The incantation was silently recited, and the light appeared, and after a moment, the void returned to the noisy hotel, in front of the counter where the stone was set up. The first time I used the return city teleportation, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I stumbled silently, and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Dori, who arrived back in the city a second earlier than him, reflexively helped him to ensure that he landed smoothly.
"Ahh!!hh - I'm back! It's back!! Dori let go of the hand that was holding on the back of the void, and immediately shouted happily and spun around several times, "Silence! Hand over these damn tasks, and I can finally get out of the Newbie Village, right?! ”
"I guess so...... I've heard Zero say before that you need to get permission from the Guardian Prophet Kreya to get out of the Moon Hidden Village, and the only known chance to meet her is to go and hand over the mission she has entrusted us, and with this logic, we should not be far from going out. A smile appeared on his face, and he touched the only two task scrolls left in the backpack behind him, and he was a little impatient. But as soon as he thought of the explanation he had just given, he decided to wait until the three of them gathered before acting together, "Dori, if you're tired, go upstairs to rest, right?" I'm here waiting for Zero to come back, and when everyone is done, we'll set off together—and he seems to be the only one who knows how to get to the Guardian Prophet Cleraya. ”
"Well, indeed, there is no clue how to find the prophet Kreya. Since you have to wait for him to ......" Dori looked around, but did not see the shadow of the young man in white, "what about the others?" ”
After waiting for a few minutes without seeing the fox, Silent persuaded Dori to go upstairs to rest, and then ran out of the hotel and ran towards the slope due north, and sure enough, he saw the white-clothed spirit fox sitting under the moonlit redbud tree playing the harp.
Waiting quietly until the end of the song, Xu Mo stepped forward and said, "The song is awesome!" - Zero, you've worked hard today. ”
"It's okay, it's just a gesture." Glancing at the void with a side face, Zero put away the guqin, turned around and turned to the moonlight, and asked, "The enchantment of Yueyin Village may be about to open for you, are you looking forward to it?" ”
"Of course I look forward to it, the task that trapped Dori for so long was completed at once with your help, and I am really grateful." Silence touched the back of his neck a little embarrassed, and then couldn't help but ask again, "Zero, who are you?" ――You can accompany us on an adventure, it must not be an ordinary NPC, if you are a high-level player, what level of character do you have to be in this awesome body? How much time will it take to reach your current strength? ……”
Without waiting for the silence to continue to pop up more questions, Zero couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, there are so many questions, haven't you heard an old saying?" - Curiosity kills the cat. ”
Silence was choked by this proverb, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Zero laughed "poof", and when the smile subsided, he said with a smile on his face: "There are too many secrets hidden in this world, every person, every tree, every group, every country, and the air you breathe is a secret. Not seeking mutual understanding, but seeking the destiny of each other, this is the correct way to survive. As the old saying goes, curiosity may really kill a cat, silence. ”
"But it's just a game, isn't it?" Silence frowned slightly, and quickly relaxed, "The education I have received, the society I live in has taught us to be sensible and act step by step, and we have been framed into a set of systems since we were born, and we are restricted everywhere. Now, this has entered the fictional game, can't you live as a free life in an illusion? ”
"Silence, if you're here to escape something, then—you're going to be disappointed."
"I'm not here to run away from anything." Silence quickly took the words of the young man in white, and said with a serious face, "I came to find someone who is more important than life. ”
Zero stared at his determined gaze for a few seconds, and finally turned to face the moonlight to end the conversation under the bauhinia tree: "Four hours later, the hotel will assemble and leave." ”
Four hours later, Dori walked down from the second floor with a satisfied stretch, and at a glance he saw the boredom of sitting in the bar area. Just as they were about to ask where Zero was, the fox appeared at the door, waved at them, and the three of them gathered and immediately walked towards the chieftain's house to the east.
After a short time, the three of them came to the five-story house where the guards stood at the door. The guard at the door asked the reason for the reason, let them go, and led them all the way to the master bedroom on the third floor, where Chief Yuexi was sleeping in the middle of a large round bed, she was a cat-eared woman with silver-blue hair, a little older, but with a resolute silhouette. A female physician with a colorful face painted on her face was sitting beside her to care for her conditioning, and as soon as she learned of their intentions, she took the refreshing flower from Silence and Dori with great gratitude, and put it into a small wooden mold and tossed it upside down.
After a while, the powder for deep sleep was made, and the doctor poured the ground powder into the chief's nostrils, and in just a few seconds, he saw the chief's nose tremble slightly, and then with a sudden sneeze, the chief of Yuexi sat up from the bed at once.
"Damn it!" The chief squinted, touched his nose, and muttered, "What's in your nose?" ……”
"Chief...... Chieftain of the Moonset! You've finally woken up! -- You've been lying down for fifteen days and seven hours now. The doctor's tone was subdued, and his expression was very exaggerated, "You can wake up is a blessing for the Cat-Eared Moon Hidden Clan!" I'm going to tell Commander Grom, and let them go to the square and inform the people—"
"Alright, alright, calm down, you can take your time to ......report the matter," Chief Yuexi patted the physician on the shoulder, then turned his face to the three young men standing on the other side, and asked, "You saved me?" ”
Silent and Dory, who had already prepared the task cowhide roll in their hands, immediately handed over the items and nodded with a smile on their faces. "I see." Yuexi took the cowhide scroll of the two of them, confirmed the amount of reward on it, took out the silver taels from the stump-shaped cabinet next to the bed, and handed them 5 silver coins each, "What a terrifying place the Sleeping Forest is, it is a testament to your courage and strength to be able to bring back medicine for me safely." ”
Silent and Dori looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly, and then the two of them glanced gratefully at Zero, who was standing behind him with a light smile.
At this time, the fox gently approached the two of them and whispered, "Show her the task scroll of killing the host." ”
Obeying the order, Void Silence immediately pulled out the last remaining task scroll in his backpack and handed it to Chief Yuexi: "Chief Chief, in addition, we have also killed the host of the Sleeping Forest, the giant snake lurking in the middle of the lake. ”
"So powerful? It's really terrifying. Yuexi took the vellum paper that recorded the elite mission of [Destroy the Hypnotic Flower Host in the Sleeping Forest] and looked at it again and again, and sighed, "It seems that you are ready to meet the Guardian Prophet Cleja." ”
As he spoke, Yuexi rubbed her nose stained with medicinal powder again, stepped off the bed, and beckoned the three of them to accompany him.
She walked out of the bedroom and headed up the spiral staircase, turning two arcs to the top floor of the big house.
When I first entered, I saw that it was a dark attic with no fingers, and it was tightly sealed everywhere. When the moon set up a lamp in the chief's hand, the whole room was lit up, leaving it empty. It wasn't until the chief pulled a rope in the corner and activated the mechanism to open the round skylight on the roof, and the huge moon appeared in his eyes, and the moonlight fell with the outline of the skylight, instantly forming a circular teleportation totem, and the subtlety of this room was finally revealed.
"This teleportation totem is the only entrance to the vines of heaven where the Prophet Kreya is, and now that you have appeared with the necessary proofs, I believe that it is your heart's desire to go to meet the Guardian Prophet, and I will fulfill it." Yuexi said, making a gesture of please to Silent and Dory.
"Great!" Silent and Dori unconsciously high-fived as a celebration, and immediately ran within range of the teleportation totem, but, just as Zero was about to step forward, Yuexi stopped him with a gesture.
"The passage to the Heavenly Totem to meet the Guardian Prophet is only open for those who have the corresponding task paper scroll, you are a foreigner, and you can't trespass."
"I know the rules." Zero kept a light smile on his face, then turned his eyes to Void Silence, stepped forward, and handed him a long package wrapped in brocade.
"What is this?" Silence asked curiously.
"This is my gift to the Guardian Prophet Kreya, it's my guqin, please send it." The smile of the young man in white looked particularly charming in the moonlight, and he didn't know if he was bewitched by the smile, but he nodded obediently with a blank face.
After Zero retreated to the side, Chief Yuexi walked to the edge of the teleportation totem, facing in the direction of Void Silence and Dored, spread his hands upwards, and muttered the teleportation incantation, and the moonlight poured down from the top of his head, turning into a flowing circle of light that surrounded the two of them, in circles, until they disappeared......
