Chapter 393 Once upon a Time There Was a Mountain and a Village

"I really don't want to be a disaster ()"

In fact, this is a clichéd story.

ten years ago.

There is a mountain called Vulcan Mountain.

There is a village called the Township of Fire Source.

The climate here is hot, but it is not such a gray climate. On the contrary, the vegetation is lush and hot springs are everywhere. It is a tourist attraction.

But suddenly one day, a terrible monster came nearby.

--【dragon】.

Dragon, entrenched in the volcano, its existence turned the extinct volcano into an active volcano, the temperature rose sharply, and everything withered.

Moreover, the dragon regularly flew out of the volcano to look for food, and wreaked havoc everywhere, killing and injuring countless villagers in the village of the source of fire.

Gradually, because the weather became bad, tourists were reluctant to come, and the township of the source of fire declined accordingly, and no one cared about it.

After all, tourists come here just to travel, and no one wants to risk their lives.

On [Giant Beast Poros], far away from here, on the other side of the volcano, there is a powerful empire called the Kingdom of Amalur.

The Kingdom of Amala once sent troops to try to fight against this monster, but they failed in the end, and finally nothing happened.

Anyway, Vulcan Mountain is far away from their country, so the Kingdom of Amala pretended not to see it and turned a blind eye.

In the end, I suffered from the fire source town, a tourist village built on the mountain.

The Township of the Fire Source is a village with ancient traditions. In addition to believing in the god "Uranus", it also believes in "Poros" and is revered as the god of fire.

Every generation of village chiefs calls themselves "the shadow of the land of fire", or... Hokage for short.

The previous generation of Hokage, with the previous generation of shrine maiden, Kikyo's mother, decided to fight against the evil dragon entrenched in the Vulcan Mountain.

Accompanied by Kikyo's childhood sweetheart and childhood playmate, in Han Meimei's mouth, is a handsome boy who is outrageously handsome and says "I am the man destined to become Hokage" every day - Yasha.

Before Han Meimei finished speaking, Yi Lin had already guessed the ending of the story.

"Are they all dead?"

Han Meimei and Li Lei's eyes widened instantly.

"My lord engineer, you, you, how do you know?"

There is no need to guess?

This kind of old-fashioned story that tells the beginning and you can guess the ending, except for completing the world view setting, there is no surprise at all.

In the context of Han Meimei's sadness, if it is said suddenly, the previous generation of Hokage suddenly burst into a small universe, slaughtered the dragon, and cut it into pieces and skewered it into skewers.

This HE ending might bring some surprises to Yi Lin, and I think this is an excellent script full of reversal plots.

Which dog planned and wrote the script.

Yi Lin complained secretly.

Combined with his identity as a brave man, wouldn't it be Dragon Quest if he thought about it this way?

After learning the background story of the Land of Fire, Yi Lin sat and waited in front of Han Meimei and Li Lei for a while, but the pleasant ding ding sound did not come as promised.

Yi Lin did not receive the task as expected.

This time he was a little surprised.

"I understand so well, but there is no task prompt? Why? Could it be that the hidden branch in this fire source village must be released by Kikyo himself?" Yi Lin pondered for a while, then squinted her eyes, and asked casually: "By the way, I'm a little curious, my lifelong best friend, Blacksmith Ge Lang, is the one who hides in a small dark room all day long and works hard, you know him, right? My best friend, he mentioned something."

Yi Lin sat up straight, and glanced at Han Meimei and Li Lei's faces: "He said, the 'Fire God Sacrifice' is about to begin."

Han Meimei and Li Lei quickly looked at each other.

"Master Miko said that the 'Vulcan Festival' cannot be mentioned to outsiders."

After the two were silent for a moment, Li Lei stepped forward and said.

Yi Lin smiled: "I'm not an outsider. Blacksmith Ge Lang is my good friend! We fought wars together, we faced thousands of troops together, we climbed walls together, we jumped over seas together If you don’t believe me, you can ask him, anyway, he is next door.”

After telling the truth, Yi Lin changed her voice and waved to the two of them: "But since you treat me as an outsider, forget it.

It's okay, it's really okay, I won't be angry, I won't be sad. Anyway, I just asked casually and didn't take it too seriously. "

"Besides, I'm leaving in a few days."

Han Meimei pursed her lips, her eyes flickered a few times.

Gouzi pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, licking his face, flicking his tail, whirring.

The room fell completely silent.

Only the breathing of the three people and the sound of the dog flicking its tail remained.

After a moment of silence.

Han Meimei raised her head, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Since the death of the previous Hokage-sama and the previous generation Miko-sama, Kikyo-sama has become very depressed. She became the Miko of this generation ten years ago. Kikyo-sama once entered the 'Vulcan Mountain' after taking over as a shrine maiden..."

"Meme!"

When Li Lei heard that Han Meimei seemed to be telling the whole truth, he couldn't help but grab Han Meimei's arm to prevent her from telling the rest.

"Are you going to watch your sister die with your own eyes?"

"Meimei! Shut up! I'm here for the village!"

"For the sake of the village, does Li Nali have to die?!"

Han Meimei asked back.

Li Lei's expression froze as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

Regardless of Li Lei's dissuasion, Han Meimei said loudly: "After that day, the Mistress personally entered the Vulcan Mountain and asked the Vulcan Lord to appear and wipe out that evil dragon!"

"ah?"

Yi Lin's expression was slightly startled.

Ah this?

no?

Yi Lin was a little confused.

After hearing the beginning of this old-fashioned story, he guessed the ending, but he never guessed that [Dragon Quest Season 2] would actually unfold like this.

"Dragon, dead?"

Han Meimei nodded vigorously: "Master Vulcan was moved by the determination of the witch, and she personally wiped out the 'dragon'. But after that day, the witch signed a contract with Vulcan, and every year the witch must choose a bride." ’, personally sent to Vulcan Mountain, and served Lord Vulcan for the rest of his life, as the price for asking the gods to help.”

"This is the 'Fire God Sacrifice'."

Yi Lin didn't comment on the second part of the story, she looked at Li Lei calmly, and asked, "This year's sacrifice... er no, the bride, is it your sister?"

At first, he wanted to stop Han Meimei, but then he broke the can and fell silent. Li Lei looked ugly and squeezed out a word through his teeth.

"yes!"

"Li Nali?"

"Yes." Li Lei lowered his head again.

Han Meimei added: "Li Nali is my... best friend!"

Yi Lin pondered for a moment, then asked with a half-smile, "Have any of you seen that dragon's corpse with your own eyes?"

Han Meimei shook her head: "How is that possible! If the gods take action, Long Ding will be dead."

"When does the Fire God Festival start?"

"At this time of year, around Vulcan Mountain, there will be a 'grey rain'. This is Lord Vulcan warning us that it is time to present a 'bridal'. The gray rain will last for a whole month, and the mistress will choose a certain day, Hold a grand ceremony in the village, bathe and change the bride, and then personally send her to the Vulcan Mountain.”

"I see."

Yi Lin generally understood.

Han Meimei and Li Lei looked at Yi Lin with different eyes.

Yi Lin waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for sharing the bedtime story, I'm going to bed, you go first, see you tomorrow."

"ah???"

Han Meimei and Li Lei were startled when they saw Yi Lin's backhand and issued a sign to chase away guests.

Yi Lin smiled and asked back: "You don't think I will do anything, do you? Don't think too much, I'm a friendly engineer, and I won't mess around with your 'Vulcan Festival'."

In the end, Han Meimei and Li Lei left here with complicated emotions on their faces.

From the beginning to the end, no exclamation point popped up on the foreheads of the two NPCs.

As if it was really just chatting about loneliness.

"It turned out to be such a setting."

Yi Lin changed into a clean bathrobe, soaked in the hot spring, and took out the "tools" and [Death Revolver], and meticulously carved criss-cross lines on the [Death Revolver].

"This game is really interesting."

...

...

at the same time.

A transparent film light ball slowly floated from the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

Boom...the membrane is broken!

"It's finally here!"

With a mournful face, Li Erpang climbed ashore immediately.

The ghost knows what they experienced in the sea of ​​clouds and in a ball.

Xiao Chuer said with a straight face, "I just want to find a place to take a bath."

Ning You sighed: "Add one."

After a lot of hardships, they finally reached Poros.

"It seems that the air is a little stuffy."

Ning You and Xiao Chu'er habitually checked the surrounding environment immediately to see if it was safe.

"After all, it is a giant beast of fire, Poros, there is nothing strange about it."

Ning You laughed.

At this moment, Xiao Chu'er's expression moved slightly, and she took out a small bottle from her bosom.

Fill it with water.

Miraculously, in the water in the bottle, there is a miniature mermaid with long pink hair swimming slowly in the bottle, looking around with curious eyes.

"Yo! Romiya-chan! Long time no see!"

Li Erpang was about to come forward to show his courtesy, but he didn't expect a tall figure to appear behind Li Erpang out of thin air, and a slap the size of a cattail fan slapped the little fat man's round head.

"Second Fat Master, please respect yourself."

Li Erpang withered instantly.

"Romea, where is the village you mentioned?"

Ning You looked at the miniature mermaid in the bottle and asked.

This is the only unfinished task they have left in Mermaid Country.

[Sub-quest task: Marriage of the Mermaid. 】

[Mission Objective: Find Romia's lover, Kenai, in Yasim Village of the Giant Beast Boros, and witness their wedding. 】

The mission rewards are experience and some gold coins.

There is also an item called [Mermaid Tears].

Time limit: None.

Although it was only a side mission, since they came to Poros, Ning You and the others planned to do it by the way.

Farming monsters and fighting Baoqing missions is a must-have for every elite player.

It is precisely because there is no task time limit for this task, so they put it off until the end.

Anyway, sooner or later you have to come to Poros.

Reasonable arrangement of task routes is also an essential quality for elite players.

After looking around for a while, Romiya in the bottle showed a slightly disappointed expression. A sweet voice came from the bottle filled with clear water.

"Romea doesn't know either."

"Kenai used to be an excellent salvageman in the sea of ​​clouds. When Romea was young, she secretly took the 'bubble' out to play, but she never thought that she would not be able to go back. Once the mermaid leaves the water for too long, it will completely become a mermaid. Bubbles, become 'clouds' and disappear in this world."

"At that time, Kenai rescued Romiya. Not only did he not hurt Romiya, but he also brought Romiya to the 'White Sand Beach'. There is a small lake on the white sand beach. It is so beautiful! Every time Luo Mia When Mia sings, Kenai will run out of the village, sit on a rock, and listen to Romia's singing quietly."

While recalling the sweet love story, Romiya felt a shy girlish blush on her cheeks.

Xiao Chu'er was speechless: "Why does this game give out sweets at the slightest disagreement? The rhythm of torturing single dogs to death."

When Ning You heard it, he smiled and glanced at Xiao Chuer: "Oh, are you single?"

Xiao Chuer laughed and said, "Don't worry, I like handsome ones."

Li Erpang was pinned down on the head by the Excalibur Susu, but he pointed at his chubby face desperately, and echoed: "Beauty, have you considered a type that is not so obvious handsome?"

Click.

Excalibur Susu clenched five fingers expressionlessly, and Li Erpang screamed in pain.

After a brief interruption, Ning You got back to business: "No kidding. According to the information available, that village should not be hard to find. If Romiya's singing can reach the village, that is to say, that village should be in Near the 'White Beach', if you find the White Beach, it should not be difficult to find the village."

Xiao Chuer agrees with Ning You's reasoning.

But she quickly put the small bottle containing Romiya into her arms, took out the communication crystal, and smiled.

"There is one more important thing, we have to contact him quickly."
