Chapter 334: Isn't Fishing in the Side Quest Easier Than the Main Story?
After recovering and adjusting a little, and making sure that there were no obvious runes on his body except for the palm of his hand, Wren pointed to the Calamity Star on the ground not far away and asked, "Is it really dead?" ”
Alexia finished suppressing the snake god's "residual poison" for Rennes, and moved her wrist: "You can open it and check it." ”
"No, no, no, forget it." Wren hurriedly shook his head, got up and walked over, picked up the piece of wood, looked at it carefully, and still couldn't see anything special: "But wouldn't this be too child's play?" Is that a god, hacked to death by this thing? ”
Although he was lucky to be able to survive, Wren still felt a little unreal, a few minutes ago he was still on the verge of life and death, trembling under the power of the gods, and as a result, in the blink of an eye, the snake god he thought he could not defeat was like an ordinary snake, hacked to death by a small piece of wood.
As an almost invincible existence, isn't this kind of death a bit too humiliating?
Alexia didn't answer directly, she beckoned, and the pendant around Wren's neck flew up, along with the Scourge wrapped in a ball on the ground, and the armor and the body of the white snake in it were swept into the amethyst, and then the pendant returned to Alexia's hand and was put back on by her.
After doing all this, she lazily said to Wren: "Normally, your chance of defeating it is zero, so is there a way for it to die at your hands without humiliation?" ”
Wren scratched his head, as if that was the case.
And after this, he also learned something about the snake god from Alexia, and how fortunate he was, including the entire Brica, to survive.
As the most intelligent creature in the world, the snake god is in a sense able to create any spell that can be achieved in an instant, which means that it is almost invincible, and its power is unquestionable. But the high level of intelligence also distinguishes it from ordinary beings, it is similar to human beings, and it will actively find ways to make itself happy, and it will also despise other beings from the bottom of their hearts, including the knowledge they have created.
When Alexia told Wren that she had only used a spell that a great magician had invented to hide his money, and that she had taken advantage of the snake god's aversion to mortal books, she survived and almost didn't break Wren's jaw.
In Alexia's words, "That's the fun thing about mortals, you don't know how useful they can invent for boring things, and the snake god who can easily create any spell certainly doesn't have that kind of trouble in normal times." ”
It will only be "DIY" on the spot.
For example, in order to observe humans and gain pleasure, it even created spells to restrain its own power.
It is a miracle that the Brika people are still alive until now.......
Sure enough, it is extremely smart, in other words, it can also be called "abnormal brain". If a "stupid" god comes, Brika has been destroyed 10,000 times.
Wren still had a lot to ask, but at this moment he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation in his body, and Allenville's teleportation function seemed to be activated.
"Hey." He called out to Alexia, who was retracting her collar from the pendant.
"What?"
Wren pointed to his chest, "I look like I'm going to be taken away." ”
"Oh~" Alexia woke up like a dream: "In order to send you away, I forcibly invoked the teleportation function of the armor, but it was suppressed. Now the snake god is dead, so ~"
"So?"
"Have fun!"
Rennes:???
"Can't you just do something? The main plot is reaching its climax, what corner did you kick me to do as a branch? I'm the main character! ”
Alexia beckoned, "Don't worry, I'll clean up Brica's mess for you." Well, count me against you. ”
Wren wanted to fight for it, but as Alrenville's armor covered his body, he felt like the world was spinning and teleportation had begun.
After the senses are restored.
“........”
Wren was speechless, as if he had just defeated the final boss of the game and obtained a treasure chest, only to be told that it would take a day to open it.
I have a bunch of questions in my stomach, and I can't get answers right away.
After a few words, Wren looked around, and now he seemed to be on top of a shack, with a roof made of thatch and dirt under his feet. There are wooden houses nearby, and the overall environment is like a small village.
"It's okay, at least it's not an odd place this time."
Wren gave the teleportation a passing grade, and he jumped off the shack, ready to look around. As he passed one window, he suddenly heard a cough coming from inside the house, and then a weak man's voice said:
"Howlen, take the medicine away, the medicine that the liar prescribed is useless."
Then a young man spoke in a slightly anxious tone: "But father, he is the only doctor in the village." ”
Hearing this, Wren stopped, and stood under the eaves, listening to the voices inside.
"My body knows very well that there is no cure for this disease."
Then there was another cough in the house, and the young man called Hoden persuaded him, and finally made his father drink the potion.
Then there was no sound for a long time, probably because the patient had not recovered for a while.
After a while, the old man coughed and said, "Hoden, I'm dying, there's something I have to tell you before I go." ”
"Father, you won't die......"
"Don't interrupt, let me finish, I'm running out of time, I have to get things organized."
The son was silent and accepted silently, and the patient said, "Holden, there is one thing I haven't told you, in fact, I am ...... Flying Mage. ”
"What!"
There was an exclamation from the room, and then the voices of the two men became low, as if they were saying something unseemly, and Wren had to stick to the window to hear the follow-up.
"Father, you're not kidding, are you?"
"I'm a dying person, why are I kidding you with this kind of thing."
"Are you really a Flying Mage?"
"Ahem, yes, I already know some simple spells, and to be honest, I can't put it on the table, so I don't want to mention it to anyone. In addition, I found out that you don't have any magical talent, so I didn't even tell you, for fear that you would feel uncomfortable. But since more than ten years ago, some evil people have appeared in the village one after another, such as the sorcerer refining poison in the west of the village, and the robber "machete" in the east. ”
"Those bastards!" Speaking of those wicked people who constantly harassed the villagers, his son Holden's voice was also full of hatred, but soon he understood what his father wanted to say: "Then ....... now"
If the "Flying Mage" dies of illness, what will happen to the village in the future?
Hodden said a little unwillingly: "Father, do I really not have the talent to learn magic?" I can protect the village for you. ”
The father shook his head, and then said, "That's why I didn't dare tell you before. But don't worry too much, I'm also a mage, and I've saved a lot of money for you over the years. There's a box under my bed with 100 gold coins in it, and if you can't do it, you can take the money and go somewhere else. ”
Hodden cried out in grief: "No, father, I will not leave our house, wait, how much do you say?" ”
"1.....100 gold coins, right under my bed, not too much, enough for you to go to the nearby city to live well."
Then there was a rummaging sound, and then the exclamation of his son Holden: "So many gold coins!" ”
After a while, I don't know if there is money in it, Wren is ready to go in directly and ask who those villains are, thinking that after the work, there will be voices in the room again.
"Father, I have a way to kill those bastards, you wait a minute, I'll be back after a trip!"
Footsteps remembered, and not long after the door of the house was pushed open, a young man hurried out.
Wren scratched his head, and then looked at the next development, he also wanted to know what the guy named Horden could do to deal with the bullies in the village.
He didn't have to wait long, and after about a dozen minutes, Hodden returned, accompanied by a drunk, slightly chubby middle-aged man with a mustache.
The two entered the house, and Wren continued to dig at the base of the wall.
"Ahem, why did you call Captain Flo?"
The drunkard laughed and preemptively said, "Haha, your son said that you are leaving soon, and you want to ask us for something." As the captain of the guards in the village, of course I have to come, Hiccup~"
"What's the matter?" The "Flying Mage" looked puzzled.
"Huh?" The drunkard known as Captain Flo drunkenly yelled, "Eh, didn't you ask Holden to call us?" Say there's business to discuss, hehe, hehe. ”
"What......."
The old man still didn't understand, and at this time Hoden took over: "That's the case, my father is most worried about and can't let go of this village, thinking that there are 'machetes' in the village who are doing evil, he feels that it is uneasy to go, so I want Captain Flo to do you a favor and get rid of those bastards." Captain, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know those people are not easy to mess with, you see, this gold coin is my father's life savings......."
"Ahahahaha, money, it doesn't matter, since this is your father's last wish, and in order to protect the village, of course our guards are duty-bound, you wait, I'll go to Ralph's bar and call the brothers, chop off the heads of those bastards as a sacrifice to your father, hiccup~"
With a few heavy footsteps on the wooden floor, Captain Flo ran out, and after ten minutes there were several screams and shouts in the distance.
A few minutes after it subsided, the sound of laughter and scolding gradually approached again, and four or five people walked towards Holden's house with a few round bags that were still dripping blood, led by the captain Flo, whose laughter was especially loud:
"Hahahaha, I'm all drunk and confused, I turned around in vain, who stepped on the horse and thought of the 'machete' to drink with us in a bar, hahahaha."
