After hearing these words, Xia exchanged a few words with the little Lori in black, and then asked out loud:

"Chief Miles, your curse is that you must return within a month after leaving the village, but if you give me this thing now, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"

"I naturally have a way to confirm this...... As for the method of keeping it a secret, please don't worry about it. ”

Miles touched his white beard and said with a smile.

"What a cunning old man, master, he won't lie to us in turn, will he?"

The black-clothed little Lori looked at the featureless piece of paper and found that there was only a circle drawn on it, with neither magic runes nor secret codes, and it didn't look like a key to open the ancient path.

"There's one more question."

Xia continued to ask:

"Can you tell me what's in that box?"

She was referring to the intricately carved chest, which was a real artifact, and she still couldn't figure out why Miles would give it away willingly.

"There's nothing to hide now, it's actually a key, and it's also a prop to open an entrance."

Miles seems to be sighing:

"But that key is for harm...... It will teleport the person who uses it to the true Sanctuary of the Dead, where there is something so terrible that whoever goes will never return. ”

"The real Sanctuary of the Dead? What's in there? ”

Xia became curious.

"According to the records left by the ancestors. The master of Hades lived there. ”

Miles looked around and replied in a low voice:

That is, the mythical god of death...... It controls the Sanctuary of the Dead, a place that the living are not allowed to enter. ”

“…… Can you believe what he says? ”

Xia asked the little Lori in black:

"Isn't this Grim Reaper an apocryphal? Is it really zài? ”

"Even though the specific information has been erased, I still have an impression about it, master."

The little Lori in black thought for a while with her finger against her chin, and said:

"Like the primeval dragons, the god of death is the 'greatest-old-ones. They are terrifying, ancient gods of great power, who once ruled the entire world, and then for some unknown reason only a few remain......"

"Why have you never told me about these things?"

Xia wondered in her heart.

"According to the game theory you told me before, master. It should be a missing keyword. ”

The little Lori in black explained:

"Due to the limitations of the system, a lot of information requires you to ask me with keywords to trigger the owner. If you don't activate them and ask me questions directly, I can't tell you. ”

"Who are the Old Rulers?"

Natsu asked her:

"Just say it's related to the main quest."

"The primeval dragon, the god of psionic energy, Opanther, the Lord of the Abyss. Radiance reigns over Zado, and ...... And ......"

The little Lori in black was suddenly speechless.

"And the owner of the eighth shard, right?"

Xia said quietly.

She thought of the question mark in the main quest.

The name that Stephanie couldn't say was probably the last piece of mystery about its origins.

"That's how it should be." The little Lori in black said dejectedly.

"I saw the faceless god behind the gods."

Natsu whispered to herself.

"Master, what are you talking about?"

The little Lori in black didn't understand her words.

"Nothing."

Natsu touched her head:

"It's just a phrase I've seen before."

"In this way, the witch who forgets time is the god-level storage zài who was promoted later."

She organized in her head what she knew:

"There are a total of five old rulers in the main quest, the sixth time fragment is in the witch, the owner of the elemental magic fragment is the World Tree, and I, the owner of the super power fragment, have not yet reached the peak of the continent, this is the information of the eight god fragments that I know so far."

"Magician?"

The old village chief Miles next to her looked at her and groaned from time to time. From time to time, she reached out and touched the air twice, not knowing what she was doing.

"Chief Miles, you said that the key in the box leads to the true Sanctuary of the Dead. But I've heard that before...... The Path of the End is the only path to the Sanctuary of the Dead, so if I set out from another entrance, I will eventually reach the place where the Grim Reaper is, right? ”

"I don't know the whole story, but our ancestors have left some things, I can take you to see them, maybe I can solve your doubts."

Miles called the two young men. They carried themselves to the underground stone chamber and kicked them out.

I saw him take out a knife. Cut into his own finger and drip the blood that flowed out at the foot of the statue.

"We have curses in our blood, but there are other powers."

Miles watched as the blood flowed towards the statue of the man, and a light shot from the statue's back reflected on the wall behind it.

"In order to see the person of his heart, he has been wandering even after his death, only then he was not as strong as he is now, and many times he faced real destruction, a thousand years, two thousand years...... He dug a long tunnel underground on his own that led to the sea, which was blocked by hurricanes and glaciers......"

"As you should have seen, the statue is incomplete."

He put the knife away:

So the handwriting is incomplete, but it can be inferred that a certain person, or a dead person, dug up the ancient road alone, in order to see his ** person. But I don't understand the meaning of hurricanes and glaciers, and although I haven't been to the beach, businessmen from Freeport say it's a beautiful place. When I was younger, I wanted to take my wife to see it for myself. ”

"Master, it's the legend of the ancient magician, a continent surrounded by hurricanes and glaciers."

The black-clothed little Lori said as she leaned on Xia's shoulder.

"This village is indeed connected to the Black Calamity. Shall we continue to investigate? ”

"There's no time to delay here."

Xia shook his head slightly:

"I'll talk about it later, I've got a plan for that."

Then he turned to Miles and asked:

"Where's that entrance?" She shook the piece of paper:

"I can feel that this thing is unusual, but it seems like it's just a medium, not a door."

"The entrance to that passage isn't here."

The old village chief replied:

"Maybe there's more than one entrance...... We're not the only ones with the key, but as far as I know, it's located right in the middle of the northern forest, and while it's dangerous for the average person, you'll be able to reach it safely. ”

"One last question. What if I want to get out of it? ”

Xia carefully thought about every detail. The most critical questions were raised.

"Because I haven't been, I can't answer precisely."

Miles pondered for a moment and said:

"But it seems to be a teleportation array that can be in and out at any time - I think as a mage, you know what I mean."

"Two-way teleportation array."

Xia has a bottom in his heart.

"Now I'm going to get ready for the problem at hand."

Myers said:

"The crisis of the village being attacked by monsters has not been resolved, and it is impossible for us to leave a mage like you as a guard for the village. I'm going to have a meeting with you, and if that doesn't work, I'll move somewhere else......"

"I'm not going to stay behind to help the guards, but I can help you get through this."

Xia still has a great sense of accomplishment for this village that he saved, not to mention that he still needs to continue to investigate the secret of the Black Calamity, how can he let it be destroyed by some small monsters:

"I have a plan ......"

The next day, in the meeting hall, she, the old village chief, and Ron pressed their handprints on a contract.

"My name is to be kept secret from outsiders."

After doing what he had to do, Xia came outside and rode the chirp bird, and said to the two:

"I have 51% of the shares of the new chamber of commerce. And the right to use the money, the old village chief and Ron each have half of it,...... Ron, have you memorized all the swordsmanship you were taught? ”

"Remembered. Master's sister. ”

Ron said with red eyes:

"By the time you return here, I'll be a great swordsman!"

His scimitar had been replaced with a good quality long sword, which was naturally given to him by Xia.

"We will do as you tell us to do, and we will continue to farm, and this money will buy a large piece of fertile land."

Miles said in a respectful tone.

"Keep your head low at first, Ron. And while improving your own strength, you must also train your partners well, only everyone will become stronger together. Only then can this village be guaranteed and develop with peace of mind in the future...... Do you understand? ”

"Understood, sister master!"

Ron straightened up and shouted.

"What the hell is this called?"

Xia was secretly depressed.

"Congratulations, you've completed the Triggered Mission: Save the Villagers. Number of rescuers: 438. ”

"You've got an upgrade item, Soul Light."

"Since you are now in a hermit state, the reputation points gained will be automatically hidden."

As Ron's words fell, a few lines of prompts appeared.

"Soul light? Where's this thing? ”

Xia found it on his body.

"I've seen it, master; Soul Light is a system item that can directly and unconditionally upgrade the class level. ”

The little Lori in black brought up the page, and a shining golden mark appeared in the career bar.

"How many levels can I go up?"

Xia immediately came to the spirit.

"Level 50, master. The experience of the main quest is very rich. ”

The little Lori in black said happily.

Then she looked at the golden mark, and bit her finger in confusion:

"How come I don't remember having this kind of thing in the system...... It's weird. ”

"Unconditional level up 50?"

Natsu looked at his rank icon:

Doesn't that mean that the later you use it, the better?

"It says it must be used before the fifth class change to be valid, master."

The little Lori in black found the introduction behind the soul light.

"Then wait, save it until lv670 and then use it, and then rush directly to the lv720 mark!"

After making a decision, Xia found another problem while being happy:

"Huh? Didn't you say that there were only 437 villagers in the village? Why does the system prompt is 438......"

"Village chief, it's not good!"

A villager ran over sweating profusely:

"Marl's wife had a difficult birth, but there was no doctor nearby! Daddy Thatch, the only one who knows how to heal, wants to help him, but Mal refuses to let a man see his wife's body! ”

"Carry me over."

Miles said with a frown.

“……”

Xia and the little Lori in black, who had just raised a question, looked at each other:

What is this, a hidden mission?

"Let's go over and have a look."

She and the black-clothed little Lori followed Miles and the others to a private house, where a sturdy man who looked to be about fifty years old was blocking the door, not letting others in.

"No, you can't say anything!"

The man blushed and shouted:

"How can my wife let other men see?"

"But she's dying, Mal!"

One villager said:

"Thatch's dad should be able to help, it's two lives, don't you want a child?"

"Fuck off! Even if the real doctor comes! Not to mention Thatch, a quack doctor......"

Marr said angrily.

"Can I?"

Xia separated the group and walked over.

"Are you...... Magician! ”

Marr hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"I'm a woman, so I should be fine, right?"

Xia glanced at the automatic mode, and there was an 'obstetrician and gynecologist' among the random professions on it.

"Hell, such a coincidence?"

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what the problem was.

"No problem! I've heard that magicians are magical people who can do anything, and I'm sure you can save my wife and children! ”

Marr hurriedly got out of the way.

After some time, people who were waiting anxiously outside heard the cry of a baby.

"It's a girl."

Xia pushed the door and walked out.

Then she stepped out of the crowd amid the cheers of the villagers, looked at the system panel, and saw that nothing had changed.

"Isn't it a hidden mission?"

She wondered.

"But it's okay, after all, a little life was born in my hands."

Thinking about it like this, her mood suddenly improved.

"Let's go."

She gave orders to the chirping birds that were waiting.

As soon as he rode up, the man named Mar suddenly ran over and said, "Magician, please wait a moment! ”

I saw him run into the warehouse, rummage in it for a long time, and come out with a dusty box.

"I was good friends with Ron's father."

He handed the box to Xia with both hands:

"I have a copy of this thing with him, but my strength is not high, so I didn't go to that place with him...... You've actually saved me and my family twice, and I'm a stingy person, but I'm also a grateful guy. ”

Natsu opened the box and found that it was a worn-out map inside. (To be continued) R640
