Chapter 12: The First Game

"I think we're ready. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info" After coming to the end, Sinong has vaguely replaced Trehak's position as the leader of this "God Puncher Squad". He said to Edward, "How do we start this game of the God Schemer?"

Edward scratched his hair in annoyance and said, "I hate this part the most, and every time I lose a few people to talk to...... Alas, but God has to look forward. Please wrap your ring-wearing finger with your other hand. ”

After seeing that everyone did what they said, Edward blew on the thick book on his desk, only to see the pages turning rapidly, and for a while he didn't know how many times he turned it, but it seemed that there was no end. After a few seconds, the page stopped, but there was nothing on it.

Edward gave everyone a deep look, his gaze resting on everyone, and then said, "Good luck." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his hand to the page. The white light in the end of the day suddenly became violent, and the cold was filled with murderous intent, and everyone was uncontrollably deprived of their minds and fell into a coma.

Before passing out, Aluca saw Edward pick up the book on the table. And on the cover of the book, there is a familiar name of Aluca......

The story of the continent of St. Ainos!

β€”β€”

Bang Dang...... Bang Dang......

Aluca, with a bang, woke up from a coma, feeling like the whole world was shaking.

"Has there been an earthquake?" he straightened up, only to find that the cause of the shaking was only because he was lying on the floor of a carriage with soft hay underneath.

Everyone who had already woken up next to him looked at him with teasing eyes, and Cui Hak sneered: "Little wolf cub, you seem to wake up later than others every time, do you have a spring dream and are reluctant to wake up?"

Aluka breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no danger, and said sharply: "At least I still have spring dreams to do, and a certain ten-year-old bachelor may not even touch a woman's hand." ”

Trehak, who was struck by the heart, was so dead in face that he forgot about the routine patting of his head......

Xinong, who intentionally or unintentionally substituted himself as the leader of the team, said on the side: "Brother, it seems that the plane of the existence of the ancient gods is not as terrible as imagined. For now, this place is no different from the continent of St. Ainos, with the same earth and sky, trees and birds. ”

Aruka pondered for a moment and said, "I guess there are many planes, and since we are playing for the first time, we have chosen a familiar world for us in the end. ”

Yofa, who didn't talk much, said weakly: "I think it's better to call it a mission, only the mighty gods would call this kind of damn thing a game." ”

Xinon immediately continued: "Jofa is right, this is not a circus, but a battlefield. Even if a clown jumps out and throws a throwing knife, it comes to our brains. Each of us must be 120,000 energetic in order to live, and do not let our guard down because of temporary security...... Well, even though it does seem pretty safe now. ”

Compared to the accustomed cynicism of Trehack, Sinong is indeed more suitable for the position of team leader. Not only is he handsome, but he is also reliable in speaking, but Cui Hak can only rack his brains to make a bowl of chicken soup for the soul that only naΓ―ve children drink. Arouka is very supportive of Sinon's performance, and who wouldn't want someone to rely on in this kind of place?

Aruka moved his muscles and asked, "What's going on now, did I miss anything when I woke up late?"

In fact, Aluka was still wondering why the book in Edward's hand was called "The Continent of St. Ainos", and what this book had to do with his own crossing. But at the moment, he can't go back to the end, so he has to put the task first.

Xinon replied, "It seems that we have been assigned the identity of a mercenary team, and I don't know how we did it in the end. We were hired by a small village called Greywood, and we were now on our way to Greywood, and the coachman was the man sent by the village chief to pick us up. ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone felt that the Divine Punishment Ring on their fingers was hot. Then lines of translucent text appeared in front of my eyes:

Main quest 1, kill the ancient gods of this plane.

Main quest 2: Help Greywood Village resist three attacks by the Green Lake Knights (0/3)

Completing any main quest will reward 50 Bronze Ainos Coins, and all the main quests will be completed and returned to the end. Failure of any main quest will deduct the equivalent coin, and those who do not have enough coins will be thrown into Hell at the end of the game. Since the God Slayer participates in the game for the first time, an additional stone medal will be awarded when all main quests are completed.

Hint: The God Slayer is not allowed to mention his origin in front of the intelligent beings in the plane, otherwise he will be punished differently depending on the severity of the situation, and the maximum punishment is direct erasure.

Alucca didn't know what the Stone Medal was for, but she could guess that the Bronze Ainos was similar to a casino token that could be exchanged for prizes between the ends. The main quest 1 should be a fixed quest in every game, and the main quest 2 is the reason why the chief of Greywood Village hired them.

At the same time, since the two missions released have the word "main line" in them, it means that there are still side quests in the game of the God Pterminator, otherwise it is not a superfluous move, and the side quests obviously need to be discovered by the game participants themselves.

Thinking back to the various games he had played in his previous life, Aruka had already secretly decided to talk to every villager in Greywood Village once in the future to see if he could trigger any quests...... This inference was that he did not hide it, and explained it directly to his companions, but only Xinon expressed interest.

After driving through the winding and bumpy mountain paths, the carriage came to a small village halfway up the mountain. As soon as she entered the confines of the village, Aluka felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if the air here was mixed with the smell of blood and dust, which made people's chests feel stuffy and flustered.

Backed by a lake, this ashwood village is dotted with dozens of homes with a population of no more than two hundred. The houses are all brick and timber, and puffs of green smoke waft from the chimneys, which seem to be just the right place for food. There is no fence outside the village, but the dense trees form a natural barrier, and the only way into the village is the one where they are located in Aluca. In this way, it undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of the main quest two. There are only five people in Aluca's group, and two of them are still relatively weak in combat, so it is naturally best to get together to defend.

When they came to the entrance of the village, the coachman turned back to the crowd and said, "Do you want to go directly to the village chief?"

This turn scared Aruka by surprise. The coachman's voice was hoarse and dry, low and eerie, as permeating as the wind in a cemetery. The appearance is even more different from ordinary people, the skin is close to the bones, and the face is pale, as if he has been malnourished and anemia since birth, and he is much thinner than the thinnest person Aluca has ever seen. If it weren't for the sick skin that could still be seen, it would really be like a skeleton.

Sinong and the others had seen the coachman when they were unconscious in Aluca, but they were still a little unwell. Xinong asked for everyone's opinions, and then said, "Let's go directly to the village chief and ask him to introduce us to the situation in Ash Wood Village." ”

The coachman stared at Xinong's face for a long time, and the goosebumps rose from Xinong's eyes before a word popped out of his mouth: "Good." ”

Then the carriage creaked again, and finally stopped in front of a two-story wooden house next to the central square of Greywood Village. Along the way, they saw several more villagers of Greywood Village, all of whom resembled coachmen, men, women, and children, in the same skeletal form, but there was no doubt that they were alive, and they did not show any hostility.

"Go on yourselves. The coachman drove the people out of the carriage and left on his own.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally recommended Xinong to knock on the door of the village chief's house.

"Who?" Soon, a baritone voice came from behind the door.

"Hello village chief, we are mercenaries hired by you, and we want to ask you about the specific situation of this mission. ”

After hearing Xinong's answer, the door opened, and standing behind it was a middle-aged gentleman in a black dress and a wig. His appearance is the same as that of a normal person, his figure is a little fat, he has a round face, a huge garlic nose is a little red, and his small belly makes a bulge on the top of his shirt. This appearance is a standard corrupt official in the world of Aluca, and a noble lord with a fat brain on the continent of St. Ainos, but in such a small village with a strange atmosphere and a little scary villagers, he is a lovely, dear and beloved good village chief.

Seeing a normal person, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and boosted their morale.

The village chief glanced at everyone, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Henry National Master, looking a little dissatisfied, and then beckoned: "Come in, I didn't expect you to bring an old man, I hope your strength can be worthy of the employment fee...... My name is Fed Hunter, and my father was driven to this stupid pagan village by my grandfather decades ago, only to return to the water land of the god of the lake within a few years, leaving me with a mess. I've written several letters to them telling them that I have nothing to do with the heretics in this village, but they don't believe me at all, and they will throw me into the lake to feed the fish, and I will not sit idly by! I am a nobleman, how can they treat me like this!"

"It seems that the god of this world is called the god of the lake. Xinon whispered to the others, "Do you think this lake god is the ancient god we are looking for?"

Henry shook his head and said, "I don't think so, there are two reasons. First, the lake god sounds like a nature god, and there are many sects on the continent of St. Ainos that believe in nature gods. If they were the Old Gods, they would have disappeared long ago. Second, as a common belief in this world, the Lake God Cult must be very powerful. If our goal is Him, and it is impossible to accomplish it, then what will we be sent for in the end?"

"I think you have a point. Xinong echoed. Then he raised his voice and said to the village chief, "So you hired us to fight against the Cult of the Lake God to purge the knights of the infidels? ”

Hearing this, the village chief grabbed his hair with both hands excitedly, and said loudly: "Greedy mercenaries! Give you another ten gold coins, it's okay! I've tried to hire a large mercenary group, but they don't take on this kind of task at all, what else can I do? Wait for the Green Lake Knights to come and decapitate me and throw me into the lake? There are only more than one hundred and forty people in this small village, and the Green Lake Knights will send a dozen knights at most, and the villagers will also help you fight, so you don't want to?"

Xinon smiled and opened his palms and said, "Add five more gold coins, so that we have the money to flee to other countries." And you have to tell us all the details of this village, and you can't leave anything out. ”

"Someday you will die of your own greed......" muttered the village chief, finding a chair in the hall and sitting down. He buried his face in his hands and said wearily, "This nightmare began when my father lost the battle for inheritance. The tradition of the Hunter family is to exile the descendants of those who have failed to seize power to the villages in the territory, and this is how my father came to the village of Ashwood. I think you've seen it too, the villagers here are not normal at all, and my father has nightmares every day. Exhausted, he soon died of exhaustion, and I was left here for thirty years. ”

"The villagers here worship a god called the God of Blood. The reason why they became that ghost form was because they wanted to sacrifice their blood to the blood god. And the reward of the blood god is also very rich, and the villagers here will not starve to death, die of disease, or even be killed except for being beheaded. Hmph, if it weren't for that terrible appearance, I would have liked to believe in the blood god too. ”

"Not long ago, a merchant came to the village. You should know a little bit about mountain villages, right? Salt, iron, seeds...... Many necessities require the help of merchants. Although the villagers of Ash Wood Village themselves regularly go to the bottom of the mountain to make purchases, it is even better to come to the merchants. Who knows that this bastard merchant didn't know which idiot villager had taken out the matter of the blood god, and after going down the mountain, he informed the priest of the Lake God Sect. You should be able to think of what happened after that, the Lake God Cult ordered the villagers to burn down the temple of the Blood God and hand over the only Blood God Priest. ”

"If they had made friends, they wouldn't have chosen to become heretics in the first place. Aluca said.

"That's right, and they put me under house arrest. If I hadn't been here with all my heart and found a group of mercenaries like you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have had a chance to communicate with the outside world. ”

Arukachi said, "Then why don't you let us help you escape?"

The village chief of Feide snorted coldly: "I advise you to dispel this idea too, the way down the mountain is only known to the coachman in the village." ”

Hearing this, Aluka looked at Xinong, who replied in a low voice: "We were in the carriage when we woke up, and we really didn't know the whole way down the mountain, but we still remember most of the way." ”

"At this moment, the Green Lake Knights should have sent out men. By noon tomorrow at the latest, the knights will storm the village. You've got a day and a night to prepare, if not for me, but for the lovely gold and the stuff you wear around your neck. "I'm going to rest, and if you have any questions, you can go to the hospital in the northeast corner of the village, where there is an unfortunate doctor who lives in this village like me." ”
