Chapter Eighty-Five: People from a Foreign Land

There were also many paintings scattered next to this corpse, Xiao Zhimiao's eyes swept casually, and found that several paintings around the corpse were very similar in content, all of which described the residents of Kane City who were withered, similar to the scene she saw in the city when she came.

The people in the painting all looked struggling and painful, with blue ghosts peeking out of their bodies, and on these skeletal residents, a crimson mist lingered, just like Xiao Zhimiao's crimson magic.

Xiao Zhimiao's gaze swept back and forth over these paintings, which were filled with crimson mist, and those crimson mist emerged from the residents, from the streets, from various buildings, and the entire city of Kane was swallowed by these crimson mist.

Xiao Zhimiao's ears seemed to be able to hear people's painful wails and screams.

In the end, Xiao Zhimiao set her eyes on the painting that the corpse was holding.

When approaching the corpse, Xiao Zhimiao held the holy attribute short knife he took from Xu Zhilan in his hand, and then stretched out his hand towards the corpse.

When Xiao Zhimiao's fingertips touched the painting, the corpse suddenly burst out, screaming and rushing towards Xiao Zhimiao.

Xiao Zhimiao stabbed the heart of the corpse neatly with a knife in his hand.

The corpses hissed and scattered on the ground, turning into piles of bones.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at the panel that popped up, just when the corpse was resurrected, the panel gave the attributes of the corpse at the same time, which was not much different from the attributes of the corpse in Kane City, but this corpse had a suffix: The Last Painter of Kane City

In order to prevent the resurrection of this corpse, Xu Zhilan took out a prop from his backpack that could ignite the fire and burned the pile of bones clean.

Xiao Zhimiao picked up the painting that the corpse was holding from the ground, and after seeing the contents of the painting, his expression instantly turned cold.

Xu Zhilan felt Xiao Zhimiao's emotional changes, walked up to her and looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "You really came here."

It depicts a red-haired girl standing on top of a corpse, her expression staring and indifferent, surrounded by many people who are struggling in pain, and the red-haired girl raises her hand and collects their souls into her palms.

The red-haired girl's face was clearly visible, and she looked exactly like Xiao Zhimiao.

The words "devil", "false god", and "evil god" were written on the painting with a brush, and the scribbled handwriting carried the artist's anger and curse.

"Got it?" Xu Zhilan watched Xiao Zhimiao staring at this painting for a long time, and her expression was so cold that she could drop the ice slag, unlike her easy-going and indifferent appearance on weekdays.

Although Xu Zhilan didn't know why Xiao Zhimiao, as a real-world player, became a god-level o, and was once a god in the land of gods, although she was an evil god, her title was a fallen evil god, so before she fell, she must have been a serious god.

But after getting along with Xiao Zhimiao for so long, it can be seen that she also has doubts about this identity.

Judging from the time marked on the portraits of the city lords who took office from Doll Town to Kane City, this is at least hundreds of years old in the time span of the Land of God's Presence, and Xiao Zhimiao is just an eighteen-year-old girl who has just graduated from high school.

Xiao Zhimiao pinched the joints of the frame and turned white, although there was no memory fragment of Secia, but she had a very sure thought in her heart, that is, the person in the painting was not Secia.

When Xiao Zhimiao was about to put the painting down, the panel jumped out:

[Congratulations to the player for getting the clue of the main quest - people from foreign lands, strangers who follow the faith, are finally swallowed up by faith, everything goes on and on, and a steady stream of people turns into flower fertilizer to cultivate flowers, the flowers of evil bloom brightly in the sun, the bones sleep in the dark underground, and the soul is imprisoned forever.] 】

After getting the clue of this main quest, Xiao Zhimiao shared it with Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan said after reading it: "Our side quest is [Buried Bones Ground], and the phrase "Bones sleeping in the dark underground" is mentioned in this main quest clue, which seems to be related to the side quest."

The two of them searched the four rooms for a while, found nothing out of the ordinary, and returned to the meaty hall.

Xiao Zhimiao's gaze fell on a portrait on the wall, which was the portrait of a city lord with the closest date to take office.

In the portrait is a young dark-haired woman with a gentle expression and clear eyes, holding a sword on her chest.

The portrait bears her name: Oriel

Xiao Zhimiao said, "Now is to find this city lord, it seems that he interrupted the cycle of fate of the people of Kane City who were used as flower fertilizer."

Now Xiao Zhimiao can deduce the general story of this copy from these portraits.

Many years ago, a god-like man spread his faith in various areas of the God's Presence and brought them to Cairn City, and after living in Cairn City for a while, the devil disguised as a god revealed his claws and devoured them to gain power.

This pseudo-god spent so much effort to trick people into Kane City, it must have been to avoid some investigation.

If you want to kill so many people, there will be some special administrators, gods and the like to clean it up, so this pseudo-god tricks everyone here, and then sets up a magic barrier nearby to isolate it from the outside world, so that it can spread faith every once in a while to trick some people into coming.

And judging from the dress of the people in the portraits, these deceived people are some poor people with no status, or they come from different places, and even if they don't see them, no one will pay too much attention.

This false god is simply sinister with evil intentions.

Now, the trap set by this false god has been broken, and judging from the information obtained by Tyron, it is very likely that it is the city lord who has taken office the closest time.

In his mouth, the city lord is still alive, and the magic array in the city was planted by her, she is protecting the city, or rather, she is resisting the false god.

And judging from the knights who rushed to the aid of Kane City, the outside world received a request for help from Kane City.

This plea for help may also have been sent by the lord of the city.

Xu Zhilan: "The castle here is too big, and it's a bit hard to find."

"It's disgusting." Xu Zhilan kicked away a whisker that squirmed on his feet, these things reminded him of those things in the kitchen of Doll Town, the difference is not very big, but some of the things in the kitchen of Doll Town have grown into human shapes, and it is even more uncomfortable to look at.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhilan suddenly remembered that a kind of black magic he saw in the Divine Forbidden Secret Archive was a kind of black magic that could make the dead grow fresh flesh continuously, so that the soul could be preserved, and it was in a state of immortality, which was a very taboo anti-heaven magic.

Xu Zhilan grabbed Xiao Zhimiao, who was looking for an exit, and told her about this forbidden magic.

Xiao Zhimiao listened, thinking that the puppet god whose soul was sealed by Secia with a cursed death nail may also use this kind of magic, wanting to use these bodies to save his soul from being consumed by her cursed death nails.

Xiao Zhimiao used lighting props to illuminate the pieces of meat attached to the wall, and the light stimulated these pieces of meat to shrink into the dark, and in this way, the temptation everywhere revealed four doors.

These four doors were not the same as the rooms in the cloister, they were all iron doors, and they had magic marks on them.

Xu Zhilan: "Which door?"

Looking at the four closed doors, she thought of the door to the corridor of the crypt dungeon, which was full of monsters.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at it and said to Xu Zhilan, "Which direction of the door do you smell the most unpleasant?"

Xu Zhilan didn't hesitate to point to the door on the far right, "This one."

He had just come in when he smelled a foul odor coming from this direction.

"Okay." With that, Xiao Zhimiao walked towards the door.

Xu Zhilan: "?"

He also thought that Xiao Zhimiao was going to hide from the place where the smell of corpses was the heaviest, and there was a high probability that there were some monsters hidden there.

Looking at Xiao Zhimiao's unhesitating steps, Xu Zhilan had no choice but to follow.

This little knower is always so decisive, sometimes he can't keep up with her brain circuits.

However, he trusts her, for better or worse, right or wrong.

Xiao Zhimiao was just about to push open the door, when she heard a slight noise coming from the door next to her, and her hand pushing the door paused.

The subtle thud grew louder and louder, like

Someone was fighting inside, and after a few seconds, the door was pushed open, and a figure opened and fell out of it.

Xiao Zhimiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Achill.

Archer was not lightly injured, and there were many wounds on his body, large and small, and he had become a bloody man.

A male player is right behind and runs out of the door, and just as he steps out of the door, an arm-thick bone spur pierces him through the chest.

A huge half-rotten palm grabbed the edge of the door frame, and Xiao Zhimiao quickly charged up and pulled the bow, shooting the monster that had already revealed half of its face into it again.

It was a huge corpse.

The corpse man roared, got up from the ground and continued to run towards the door, more monsters chasing after him.

Fortunately, behind this door is a not very spacious corridor, which is occupied by this corpse man, and other monsters can't squeeze in front for a while.

After Xiao Zhimiao shot another arrow, she pulled the door shut.

The door had protective magic on it, and after a while, the corpse man thought he had given up, and the sound faded away.

"Xu Zhilan, treat Archier."

Xiao Zhimiao helped Archier up from the ground and checked her attribute panel, all the values were very low, it seemed that she had encountered a very difficult problem.

After Xu Zhilan threw two healing skills at Archier, the injuries on her body were recovering at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Archier nodded at Xu Zhilan: "Thank you."

Xu Zhilan bowed his head coldly and looked away.

He was still haunted by the rejection of the Thorns Guild, and he was always uncomfortable seeing the members of the Thorns Guild.

"What have you encountered?" Xiao Zhimiao asked as she glanced at the dead player on the ground.

Achill: "Miss Xiao, I have been following the players of the Shadow Guild to the castle invisibly, and they are very strange that they do not follow the leader, but go straight up the stairs of the hall where they enter."
