Chapter 20 Contracts
"Do you know the exact location of the undead stronghold next to the ruins of Hesk?" Ao Xingfeng asked, it was always impossible to put such a threat around the city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Northeast of the south gate of the ruins, what's wrong with the chief knight?" Taryn asked.
"Knowing that you are invincible, if you want to pull out this threat, you must first investigate the specific situation of this undead stronghold. Ao Xingfeng said.
"Knight, I advise you to be cautious, no one can tell how many undead are hiding in which stronghold. Taryn shook his head, disapproving of Ao Xingfeng's proposal.
"Do you just let it go? The existence of this group of undead has cast a deep shadow on people's psyche, and they may continue to attack here at any time, right? If you want me to say, this undead stronghold must be uprooted before the birth of high-level undead. Ao Xingfeng said.
"Calm down, let's talk about this later, okay? Everyone is already very tired from running all the way, let's have a good rest first. Taryn felt that the conversation could not continue, so he got up and left.
Ao Xingfeng sat on the chair and was silent, he didn't understand the city lord's way of ignoring the hidden dangers outside the city, and he drank sullen wine alone.
Glock got up lame and sat down next to Ao Xingfeng, holding a large cup like a jar in his hand.
"Lord Tyran has been frightened by the undead, and if he had been before, he would have agreed with you, but when he was building New Hesk, many of his relatives and friends were killed by the undead in front of his eyes, and instead of raising the anger of revenge, he began to fear the undead. Glock said angrily.
"Anyway, I'm going to investigate the situation of this undead stronghold, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Ao Xingfeng drank the fruit wine in the cup in one gulp and said firmly.
"Lao Tzu supports you, I will accompany you to take a look tomorrow, Lao Tzu is also very curious about this undead stronghold. Glock said, shaking the half-jar in his hand.
The Templars didn't rule that alcohol was forbidden, so everyone had a great time, and the fact that they had so many days out in the open, with good food and wine, and warm rooms, was more real than anything else.
The banquet to welcome the Templars was held late, during which Tyron arranged a number of activities to add to the fun, such as the ensemble of bards and the dancing girls of the performing arts, and everyone had a great time, until 4-5 o'clock, when Tyron and the others arranged a lodging.
"Knight, I am here once again to welcome you, hoping that you will protect the innocent civilians of the city from the undead. Taryn solemnly bowed to Ao Xingfeng, and after glancing at Ao Xingfeng meaningfully, he left.
Ao Xingfeng didn't understand the meaning in Tylen's eyes, but groggily entered the room that Tylen arranged for himself, because Ao Xingfeng's alcohol consumption is not very good, although the degree of fruit wine in this other world is not high, but he still has the stamina after drinking too much.
In the environment where he couldn't see his five fingers, Ao Xingfeng casually took off the armor on his body, climbed into bed in the dark, and fell asleep.
This sleep until the afternoon of the same day, Ao Xingfeng woke up according to his head, the whole person was still a little confused, the afternoon sun shone in through the window, through the light can also see the dust floating in the air, the surrounding environment is very quiet, except for Ao Xingfeng's own breathing sound can not be heard at all, the atmosphere seems lazy, Ao Xingfeng even wants to continue to fall asleep, but the daily exercise can not be less, and you have to take the day before dark to see which undead stronghold.
"If there were no undead and no war, the world would be beautiful. Ao Xingfeng muttered to himself, got up and looked at the messy armor and sighed.
Slowly put on his armor, put his hands on the white cloak behind him, and then walked out of the room with the dark tight on his waist.
Suddenly, a strong light in front of him hit Ao Xingfeng's eyes, Ao Xingfeng subconsciously blocked it with his hands, and when his eyes adapted, Ao Xingfeng was terrified of the scene in front of him, a white light reflected in Ao Xingfeng's eyes, this is a vast pure white world, except for Ao Xingfeng and the wooden house behind him, only white remains.
"What's going on?" Ao Xingfeng was a little panicked, and hurriedly looked back at the room he had walked out of earlier.
The wooden house disappeared, and only Ao Xingfeng was left alone in this pure white world.
"Are you awake?" a voice full of wisdom echoed in all directions, and it was impossible to make out where it came from.
"Is it a human or a ghost?" Ao Xingfeng clenched the scabbard in his right hand and looked around nervously, but apart from him, there was only a pure white world.
"Old decay is neither a human nor a ghost. Suddenly, a white-bearded and white-haired old man wearing a white robe and holding an oak staff appeared not far in front of Ao Xingfeng.
"But it seems to me that you are no different from a human being, except for this strange method. Ao Xingfeng entered a state of high alert, even if a signal had been given in the depths of his mind that he was far from being the opponent of this old man, Ao Xingfeng did not intend to sit still.
"Do you mean my appearance?" The old man's body suddenly changed, a pure white horse, a huge ant, and a huge white dragon, this mysterious existence changed different shapes and appeared in front of Ao Xingfeng's eyes.
"Okay, I'll admit that you're a little different from what I imagined, so what exactly is your purpose?" asked Ao Xingfeng with a not very good face.
The dragon transformed into an old man with white hair and white beard, stroked his beard and said to himself, "Well, even if you are curious about my identity and this place, the first question is related to your own safety. ”
"I've watched you for a long time, from the beginning. The old man said unhurriedly.
"What do you mean?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
"You already know that, don't you? Yes, from the beginning, when you first came into this world. The old man said without arrogance.
"So, you're going to kill this wanderer from another world?" asked Ao Xingfeng, clenching his fists.
The old man didn't answer, he waved his oak staff in the void, and the pure white world was like the surface of glass, cracking many cracks, and then more and more and bigger, and finally shattering.
After the pure white world like a mirror is shattered, the picture in front of me turns to the busy street, surrounded by many towering high-rise buildings, pedestrians on the street are busy walking, crowds of people, such a fast-paced and busy world makes Ao Xingfeng's eyes moist, yes, this is the street of a city on the earth.
"It's a wonderful world, and of course, if the air didn't have these pungent pollutants, so much the better. The old man stroked his beard and looked at the world around him, his eyes full of curiosity.
"What is your purpose?" Seeing that the pedestrians on the road were ignoring himself and the old man, Ao Xingfeng knew that he had not really returned to Earth, this should be some kind of illusion.
The old man's cane waved again, and this time he came to a library somewhere on Earth, and in this huge library, there were shelves and books everywhere, a veritable sea of books.
The old man flipped through the books in the library by himself, Ao Xingfeng looked at the old man with unkind eyes, and even condensed a blazing fireball in his hand.
"I have been to many worlds, observed many completely different customs and civil, don't worry, child, I love peace and yearn for peace, and I will not invade your world. The old man put the book back.
"How does it feel to live in my world for more than two years?" the scene changes, this time on a certain island, in a luxurious and huge seaside villa, the old man sits down on a chair.
Ao Xingfeng sat in another chair and replied: "There are many things that my world does not have, things that only exist in fantasy, but in fact they are not so good, such a force makes the conflict between people more intense, as if the war has never stopped." Ao Xingfeng's answer was very sincere.
The old man nodded: "That's a point, but I think the most important thing is this." As he spoke, a book appeared in the old man's hand.
"Books, knowledge?" asked Ao Xingfeng suspiciously.
"It's civilization, as I said, I've been to many worlds and observed the development of many worlds, but many worlds are similar to mine, and war is the only leitmotif. The old man said a little lonely.
"But your world is different, child, your world is the least war-torn place I've ever seen, and I've observed for a long time and come to a conclusion that war will only be replaced when a world civilization is highly developed. The old man said with some excitement.
The old man stood up suddenly: "You are the most precious treasure of our world, I hope you can help my world move towards civilization, I see it in your heart, you also think my world is beautiful, don't you? But behind such a beautiful world is full of war, the darkness of human nature. I want you to help me and change the world with me. ”
"Of course, it is not unconditional, as you help my world to civilization, I will also help you return to your world, and at the same time, the door of my world will always be open for you, you can go back and forth between the two worlds at any time, and your children and grandchildren will also enjoy this treatment. The old man said solemnly.
"But not to mention changing the world, just surviving in such a world has made me do my best. Ao Xingfeng sighed.
"You still have the grace of that person, don't you? your potential is limitless, and I will help you as much as I can, but the world is very disturbed, and there is not much I can do for you. The old man said.
Ao Xingfeng felt that everything about himself was completely seen through by this old man, and it seemed that all the secrets could no longer be hidden, which made him feel very bad.
"Don't worry about that, child, no one in this world can see through your secrets except me and the one, I am Tenatros, one of the two wills that keep this world running, and a fallen god. Tenatros said self-deprecatingly.
"Fallen God?" Ao Xingfeng didn't understand, since it is one of the two major roots of the world, how can it be called degenerate?
"There is not only one being like me, the true God of the four elements is one of them, for us true gods, we are only responsible for maintaining the operation of the world, and we cannot interfere in the direction of the world. Tenatros said.
"So you're called the God of the Fallen, I see. Ao Xingfeng nodded.
Tenateros stood up again and asked solemnly, "Then a traveler from another world, would you like to help me change this war-torn world?"
Ao Xingfeng also straightened his waist and replied solemnly: "This world is indeed very beautiful, watching it fall into such a flying war, my heart is not happy, but I will say it first, I will only do what I can, as for whether it will be big or not, how long it will take I am not sure, my life is the first." ”
"Very good, then I'll assume that you agree, I've been waiting for so many thousands of years, and I don't care about waiting a little longer. All you need to do is open the wisdom of the people, you don't need to stop all the wars, that's impossible, and when it happens, I will open the gates of the two worlds for you, for you and your children and grandchildren to come and go forever, for you to come and go at any time. After Tenatros finished speaking, Ao Xingfeng felt that there was something more in his mind, this is the contract between Tenatros and himself, right?
"Do you know the undead that are flooding the world now?" Ao Xingfeng asked.
"A little guy who steals a very small part of the power of the god of death, but the god of death is extremely powerful, even a very small part of the power makes this little guy very dangerous, you have to be careful. Tenatros instructed.
"And those pagan false gods, do you know their message?" Ao Xingfeng asked.
"What are you referring to? For us, the churches of this world are all pagans, and they believe in false gods, including the little one who is called the Goddess of Cleanliness. Tenatros smiled.
"When I didn't ask, then I'll ask first, what are the main things about you saying you can help me?" Ao Xingfeng asked.
Tenatros smiled mysteriously: "You will soon know, and finally I would like to remind you that not all false gods are despised, just like the little one of the goddess of light, she has also made a lot of contributions to world peace." After saying that, the picture was torn.
Ao Xingfeng woke up on the bed of a wooden house in the city of Novoheysk.
