The bonfire "snapped" and the bursting sparks danced in the night.

The girl sat by the campfire with her hands and knees in her hands, trying to fight the sleepiness and cold.

But with increasingly heavy eyelids

Lonely darkness gradually enveloped Freya.

That's when it was.

A new faint light of fire lit up from the night in the distance, followed by footsteps from far and near, and the girl fell asleep.

Freya was happy at first, but soon became nervous and vigilant again, and as the figure with the torch approached and Freya saw the other party's appearance clearly, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression was completely relieved.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Liao Yu changed his plan temporarily, so he was at the Count Nikolai's mansion, delaying a little longer, and when he returned to the temporary camp agreed with Freya, it was already late at night.

He looked at the saint who was still not asleep and insisted on waiting for him to come back, and his face was full of sleepiness, and he felt distressed for a while, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Liao Yu immediately stepped forward quickly, put down the torch, and put on his coat for Freya, who was still wearing casual clothes and was thinly dressed.

There was still Liao Yu's temperature on the coat, which warmed Freya's cold body a lot.

However, the saintess then looked at Liao Yu's empty back, and seemed to understand something, and her eyes dimmed a little.

"I've been looking for a long time, but I still haven't seen your two companions, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"No, no, no, Lord Liao Yu has done his best, Freya thank you very much, I believe that they are also like me, in order to fight the catastrophe and save the world, they are all ready to come to their senses."

Freya, who lowered her head, quickly perked up, and her eyes became more persistent and firm, as if she had inherited the will of her deceased companion, and she must train Liao Yu to become a true brave man no matter what.

Compared to the original history, in the real plot, Freya was almost overrun by her most trusted companion, and then she was killed by her own brave man Tagger and saved the Holy Maiden.

Liao Yu believes that this ending is undoubtedly better.

Whether it's for Freya, or for that infatuated and crazy Tagger.

At the same time, the Sage Stone on Liao Yu's right hand emitted a faint light, reminding Liao Yu that history had shifted, but the loss of energy in it was negligible and basically negligible.

This reaffirms the previous conclusion.

As long as you ensure that the plot and the general "ending" in history do not change, the process in the middle can be modified at will as long as you become the "only" witness.

Therefore, at the end of Count Nicholas's mansion, Liao Yu replaced killing the family of three with mind control and letting them continue to remain as they were.

It also means that the wanted "Liao Yu" continues.

And the daughter of the earl who was admitted to the "Daran Academy", Rosa will still be the same as in history, and will be successfully enrolled.

And in the future, I will meet myself in the 'College Competition'.

These "bright faces" of history will not change.

Therefore, the Philosopher's Stone will not consume energy, and the world line will remain stable.

However.

In the "shadows" that only he knows, history has been quietly revised.

To put it simply.

Count Nikolai's family of three has one more owner.

Liao Yu will awaken their spiritual imprint at the nodes where they are needed in the future, and become an important chess piece for himself to continue to "change the future".

The chapter of Count Nicholas has been turned for the time being, and after a night of a new tomorrow, the brave and the saint have embarked on a real journey of "salvation".

Their first stop was Shijian Village, the closest to here.

On the carriage, Freya, like the plot in the game, dutifully prepared the follow-up brave mission for Liao Yu.

As a brave man, you must not be able to fight the Great Demon King directly.

You have to collect all the "Holy Sword" first.

And Freya, based on the prophetic revelation given by Guanghui, told Liao Yu that the location of the first holy sword was their current destination, Shijian Village

Once you've arrived in this idyllic village by horse-drawn carriage, it's time to explore on your own.

All Freya knew was that the Holy Sword was here.

But the specific location and how to get it are also confused.

fortunately

"Follow me."

Liao Yu walked directly in front, taking Freya's place, and he pulled the holy maiden in this small village, turning around, skillfully passing through several paths, and finally came to a small waterfall behind the village.

"Has the Brave been here before?" Freya was very curious when she saw Liao Yu's familiar appearance.

"No, it's just that after arriving here, I vaguely felt the calling, it should be the holy sword guiding me."

Anyway, with the identity of a brave man, Liao Yu can fool the past by finding a reason casually, and seeing Freya, it suddenly dawned on him, and there was no doubt about it.

Liao Yu took the holy maiden and walked through the waterfall, and there was indeed a hidden cave behind the water curtain.

As soon as she came in, Freya's eyes immediately lit up, her face showed excitement, and her small hand dragged Liao Yu's cuffs and said:

"Brave man, look! That's it! The prophesied holy sword! ”

In the center of the cave is a stone slab that exudes a quaint atmosphere.

On the stone slab, there is a seemingly ordinary sword.

Just before Freya was about to run over, she was pulled back by Liao Yu first, and it was this kung fu, the stone slab carrying the holy sword trembled, and after sensing the two outsiders, it seemed to awaken the sleeping spirits.

"Hehehe, hundreds of years have passed, is anyone finally coming?"

An illusory sword spirit rises from the stone slab.

It was tall, armored, and majestic, like some general.

"To be here proves that you should have gained the trust of all the people in the village, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have told you about such an important position. ”

Sword Spirit is very friendly to Liao Yu and Freya.

As it said, according to the normal historical process, after he arrived in the village, he should first go to the blacksmith to inquire, and then the blacksmith asked him to go to the village chief, and the village chief was unwilling to tell himself about this outsider, so in order to persuade the village chief, he could only solve various villagers' commissions and help the villagers deal with trouble.

After this whole set of "good people and good deeds" is done, the favorability of the village chief can be brushed up, and after the whole village has a high prestige, the villagers are willing to tell themselves the legend of the "sword in the stone" handed down from their clan.

As for the current Liao Yu

It's equivalent to a speedrun.

Think that's the end of it?

Far from it.

The "Holy Sword" is an artifact in the first week, how can it be so easy for players to get it, and after passing the villagers' level, they have to pass the sword spirit.

"Adventurers who came to pursue treasures, I regret to tell you that this sword was once my sword as the general of a country, accompanied me to expand my territory and fight on the battlefield, and now I am dead, but the sword has accumulated too much killing anger, and it has long been reduced from the founding sword of the year to a magic sword, not to mention pulling it out, just getting close to you will be affected by this, and the mind will be polluted."

"Therefore, you must first find the three genius earth treasures of [Pure Water], [Boundless Grass] and [Primordial Dew] to bring to me, so that I can help you purify the Demon Sword and eliminate the evil."

"Secondly, if you want to pull out this sword, you must have the same talent as me back then, with your current level, I am afraid it is far from enough, but it doesn't matter, you just need to go to my real burial place and take my [bones], so that I can temporarily return to the dead and take out the holy sword in your place."

"Finally, if you want the sword to recognize its master, you also need to prepare the things to worship the divine sword, there are five items in total, which are [Flower of the Other Shore], [Soul Rejuvenation Pill], [Sword Crest] and."

Liao Yu closed his eyes.

I didn't do it just now, but I was reminiscing about the "hard work" of the past.

Now, Liao Yu, who has returned from the "Three Weeks", opened his eyes and said lightly to the sword spirit who was still there to "issue tasks": "Are you finished?" ”

"When you're done, you're ready to go."
