Chapter 1029 The Dragon Maiden and the Prince
Except for a few slightly exaggerated sharp-billed crows circling and chirping in the sky, there were no more accidents on the road to Beaufort Village, just like in the game, Qin Mufeng successfully arrived at the very dilapidated and depressed village.
There were only two roads in the village, and the decaying and low wooden houses were scattered along the sides of the road, and the air leaking on all sides did not look like they could be inhabited at all, as if most of the houses were abandoned and emitted a certain foul smell.
Qin Mufeng knew that the reason why Beaufort Village was so dilapidated and depressed was because it had been ravaged by Father Harrett among the animals, most of the houses were lying dead bodies, and there was only one live mouth for fishing in the huge village.
After going around the village, Qin Mufeng, who walked to the end of the village road, had already written down all the building layouts in the village, took a deep breath, and Qin Mufeng came to the house of the key plot characters,
With his hands folded and he confessed, Qin Mufeng directly pushed open a hidden wooden door, and his steps were light.
The rotten wooden floors creaked when they were trampled, the fireplaces that had long been extinguished were covered with dust, the broken square tables and low stools fell to the ground, the flattened iron pots were clasped upside down on the broken tiles, and the ropes on the beams of the houses hung upside down from rotten dried fish and animal meat, almost like flies, and small insects that were different from flies lay down in the holes of rotten flesh to feed and lay eggs, and they looked very bad.
As in the game, nothing useful was found, Qin Mufeng walked into the inner room, only to see a decaying body that looked like a dehydrated dry corpse squatting on the rotten bed board with his hands and head squatting with his back to him, the dry corpse seemed to hear Qin Mufeng's movement, and trembled to himself, even with the wooden bed board made a 'da-da-da' movement, as if he was extremely scared.
Needless to say, this is also a good thing that Fr. Lao Deng did.
Putting down the jar, Qin Mufeng greeted him in a friendly voice.
"Hello?"
The dry corpse turned his head sharply and put his index finger to his lips to signal silence,
From the frightened facial features, he can vaguely tell that the dry corpse is a man, but that's all, Qin Mufeng himself is face blind, and it is definitely embarrassing for him to recognize the wrinkled face of the dried corpse together, he only knows that in the game, the name of this dry corpse-like man is Marcy, and he is the initial guide character of the plot killing.
"Don't make a move, don't make a move, the priest will find us...... Wait, you're a fire seeker?"
Qin Mufeng secretly smiled bitterly, Marcy didn't agree with his identity at all, sure enough, the game plot could only be used as a reference, in this case, he might as well say it differently.
"I'm a friend of Lestin, sir, can you tell me about the Fire Seeker and the Priest?" How did the village come to be like this?"
The man like a dry corpse glanced at Qin Mufeng, who didn't look like a fire seeker at all, and there was hope in his dim and cloudy eyes, but more suspicion,
Marcy stepped out of bed, gently closed the door of the inner room, peeked out through the crack in the nailed window, and only then calmed down when he saw no one, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's been a long time since that kid went hunting in the mountains and disappeared, how did you meet Lestin?"
Qin Mufeng said in a low voice.
"Lestin's appearance before me was already golden, and he told me that he had been taken captive by robbers, and then he said that he was going to take his prey home and take care of his mother, and then he was gone.
Thinking that I might be able to help Lestin's mother, I came over and took a look at the situation."
Hearing this, the man trembled and wiped his eyes with the back of his withered hand.
"Sure enough, he was killed by robbers...... I knew that kid had what it took to be a fire seeker, but unfortunately...... It's a pity ......."
After calming down, the man who lowered his arm was much friendlier.
"Since Lesteen can meet you in the form of obsession, it means that you are a fire seeker you can trust,
When the child was young, he always longed to have a fire seeker to be his friend and save the village.
It's a pity that the lighthouse in the port of the end is extinguished, and there will be no outside
The fire-seekers from the mainland have come to the village, and the chances of those who have left the village and embarked on the journey are even more slim to return, and without the help of the fire-seekers, the village of Beaufort is already finished......
According to the key information confided by Marcy, Qin Mufeng sat on the decaying chair.
"Sir, my name is Qin Mufeng, I don't know what Mr. is called?"
"Names, names don't mean anything to me anymore...... Seeker of fire, ask whatever you want."
The man lowered his head with a depressed expression, and Qin Mufeng changed his words.
"Sir, can you tell me what a fire seeker is?"
Hearing this, the man raised his head and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him who was as handsome as a noble knight of the kingdom, with a gentle and polite attitude, and an inclusive temperament, and his expression immediately became a little strange.
Speaking of which, most of the fire seekers from the outer continents are wearing all kinds of strange armor, and their bodies are covered with thorns, either a variety of weapons and armor or all kinds of bottles and cans.
All of them are cold-tempered and dangerous creatures, and it's very difficult to see what these fire seekers look like.
Like the one in front of him, the perverted fire seeker who is wearing only underwear and boots on his body cannot be said to be none, but can only be said to be unheard of, not to mention that this person does not know anything about his identity.
He had some doubts that he had not been near the flames for a long time, causing him to be blind and mistaking the wrong person, but the young man's full and healthy body and the gift of fire burning in his eyes could not be faked.
Thinking of this, more questions arose in the man's heart.
The port of the end is no longer connected to the outer continent, where did the fire seeker who doesn't like to wear clothes jump out of now? Could it be that it jumped out of a crack in the stone?
"Before I respond, could you please ask Mr. Chemmerfurn to answer me a question?"
Qin Mufeng bowed slightly.
"Sir, excuse me."
"How did you get to Mermst, Mr. Chillerforn?"
Mermsted is the starting area of the game Deep Blue Blasphemy, and the Black Forest, which was not opened in the first chapter of the game, is also part of Mermst.
In addition to the village of Beaufort, the Temple of the Sun Goddess and the Black Forest, the ruined town of Sida where Father Lao Deng is located and the port of the terminal in Masikou are also part of the Mermsted region.
After thinking for a while, Qin Mufeng said softly.
"I woke up in a temple and lost my memories, only to receive a revelation from the goddess Cotia, who asked me to rekindle the lighthouse fire and save the village of Beaufort."
A simple sentence, but the man looked shocked, and then became a little trance.
"You're talking about the Temple of the Sun Goddess of Godia? But after the temple was desecrated by the priest, the gate was sealed by divine grace, how did you get out?
Wait, I see! It was the goddess who inspired you! Sent you out of the temple, no wonder you have no memories of the past, only the revelation of the goddess,
It turns out that the goddess has not forgotten us poor believers...... The Goddess has sent another Fire Seeker to save us, which is great...... It's wonderful."
Kneeling on the ground as if mad and kowtowing in the direction of the temple several times, Marcy stood up again and hunched over, his attitude more deferential than ever.
"I have no doubts, Lord Fire Seeker, whatever you ask, I will do my best to help."
Qin Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief, if Mr. Dry Corpse broke the casserole and asked to the end, he would also have a little headache.
"Sir, I just arrived in Mermsted and don't know anything about this world, so tell me about the Fire Seeker first, why am I called the Fire Seeker?"
Mr. Dry Corpse sighed softly and sat back on the bed, telling the ins and outs.
"The matter of the fire seeker has to start with that great change......
After a long conversation, Qin Mufeng sorted out some important information with high credibility according to the background of the game.
The world he is in is called the Continent of Cruyes, which consists of a supercontinent located in the center and Zhou
Border small continents with islands,
In Marcy's words, if ordinary travel methods were used, mortals would not be able to cover one-tenth of the distance of the Kruyers continent in their lifetime, and because of this, this continent also gave birth to many races and dangerous creatures that are different from humans.
Marcy himself didn't know too far away, but in the dark woodlands of Mermst lived a kind of flying bats and orcs and a group of hairy and blood-drinking Homo erectus, which was very dangerous.
Although these subspecies of humans do not possess human intelligence, they also have a certain degree of social differentiation and primitive beliefs, and know how to use simple tools and weapons to hunt.
The original Cruyers continent was respected by humans, and the subhuman race could only be enslaved and eaten by humans as slaves or ingredients, but everything has changed since the Great Mutation occurred, first the sky has become the color of the deep sea, and the sun, moon and stars are no longer visible, and then the residents of the Cruyers continent found that there is a kind of idealistic miracle power above the world,
As long as you believe in miracles, sacrifice and belief in miracles, any creature can gain extraordinary power and do many things that do not make sense.
The so-called rejuvenation and transformation from ugliness to beauty are no longer human delusions, and crazy miracle believers no longer engage in farming, but only rely on prayers and sacrifices to obtain a sense of satiety, and become immortal, almost god-like.
The power of 'miracles' seems to be of the same nature as the power of 'I seek', but the harm cannot be compared.
Soon the influence of the miracle spread from the human nations to the subhuman race, and with the miracle, the subhuman gained strength and wisdom enough to compete with the human race, and gained a place on the evolutionary map.
For human beings who want more and have more complex hearts, they have given birth to a group of terrible groups that believe in the source of miracles, and most people can't refuse the power of miracles at their fingertips, even if the Sun Goddess Sect preaches the dangers of miracles day and night, no one listens,
The out-of-control force finally subverted the original situation on the continent, and the cultists who believed in miracles had a huge impact on the faith of the sun goddess Gotia, and under the will of the sun goddess, the followers of the sun goddess had to take the initiative to transfer the sect power to the outer continents, and it was this move that saved the only fire and brought fire seekers to this world.
Most of the believers who waited for the Sun Goddess withdrew from the inner continent, and the belief in miracles lost the only limit.
Just like the spread of the virus, more and more people choose to pursue miracles, unrestrained use of miracles to satisfy their desires, even the environment has changed dramatically, the whole world is full of malice, the ground is full of ***, there is no benevolence and justice at all, there is only the naked law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle.
One day, following the loss of the sun, moon and stars, all the flames in the world were extinguished, and no matter what way it was, the flames could not be lit again.
The people of the Cruyes Continent suddenly found that their immortal body had become shriveled and fragile as if it was slowly dehydrated, and they were looking for a ray of warmth but nothing they could get, and only crazy eating and long sleep could alleviate the corruption and pain in their bodies, and death had become an unattainable dream.
In this case, the Miracle Giver known as the Evil Heir appeared, making up for the lack of belief in the Sun Goddess in the Inner Continent and opening an even more evil path of sacrifice for the Miracle Believer.
The Evil Heir bestows more miracles on the believers in miracles, and through sacrifices, the believers of the Evil Heir are able to maintain their great power and continue to squander their desires, completely ignoring the deeper harm caused to the world and others, and the deterioration of the Continent of Cruyes enters a dead circle.
In order to fight against miracles and evil heirs, the sun goddess Godia rekindled the first flames in the temples of the outer continents, giving the believers the gift of fire and giving birth to the first fire seekers who could resist corruption.
The so-called 'fire seekers' are the goddesses who seek flames, expel darkness, and pursue light.
Every fire seeker is a warrior from the outer continent, and the believers of these goddesses are not afraid of the temptation of miracles, nor are they afraid of the horror of evil heirs, and dare to use the weapons in their hands to fight like a martyr
The fiery iron will confronts the dark side of desire, and destroys all darkness and evil,
The Sun Goddess's gift of fire, though precious but not endless, is as rare as gold in the eyes of the cultists of the evil heir, and the fire seeker with the gift of fire is the most suitable sacrifice for it, and the fire seeker and the miracle believer become natural enemies.
In addition to the false and empty duty of fighting miracles and evil heirs and rekindling the flames, the main responsibility of the Fire Seeker is to pray to the goddess Gothia in the temple of the goddess with the collected souls and soul pyroxene.
Fire seekers who have reached a certain level of faith and strength will be able to become more powerful beings by defeating the evil heir and absorbing the purified soul pyroxene.
Above the Fire Seeker there is a higher level of Flame Burner, who is the mainstay of the Sun Goddess Sect and the main force against evil heirs and miracles.
