at the same time.
Li Erpang, Ning You, and Xiao Chu'er formed a team to brush the monsters in the new leveling area.
After getting along for so long, although they are a little uncomfortable with each other, the team configuration is very reasonable.
As Li Erpang became bigger and bigger, his defensive power was terribly high, and he formed a "bond" with the Excalibur Susu behind him. Li Erpang was fat alone, carrying a large shield in front of the other two, Aww taunting, attracting the monster's attention.
At the same level, the attacks of monsters are equivalent to tickling for him.
One tank, two DPS, spawning monsters is very efficient.
Although Romiya didn't know the way very well, but she recognized it here and got a little impression there. It actually led them to find the "white beach" that Romiya said.
But when they arrived at the "beautiful" white sand beach mentioned by Romiya, they were all stunned.
As far as the eye can see, it is barren.
In the vast expanse of white fine sand, there is a pit about the size of Moonlight Village.
The pit was also covered with fine sand.
Not to mention humans, not even a single monster.
In the dry and hot climate, the heat rises, and the scene in the distance is slightly distorted, resulting in the phenomenon of light refraction.
"how come?"
In the water bottle, Romiya looked at the "white beach" that was completely different from what she remembered, and she was also stunned.
"Romea remembers that there are beautiful white shells everywhere on the white sand beach."
"There is a clear lake here."
"The lake is full of red and white corals."
The mini Romiya lowered her head in the water bottle, murmuring in a low voice, "But why did they all disappear? The place where Kenai listened to Romiya singing..."
Ning You listened silently, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"etc,
You said there used to be many corals here? "
Xiao Chu'er noticed that Ning You's tone was strange: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's very wrong," Ning You frowned, and said in a low voice: "Theoretically, coral is formed by a kind of aquatic life called 'coral polyp', which grows, dies, and accumulates over time. Don't forget, the 'corals' of this world World view', the giant beast is surrounded by a sea of clouds."
"Although 'sea of clouds' also contains the word 'sea', it is still a cloud in essence. You always say that the game settings do not need to be studied deeply, but for a successful game, the settings in it always need to be logically self-consistent, otherwise it will It caused a lot of complaints. A successful game will work hard on the world view, even if it is a fantasy game, it will try to make the world view logically plausible."
Xiao Chu'er understood Ning You's words, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she let out a sigh: "You mean..."
Ning You sighed softly: "Either it's the game designer who has given up on trying to reason with the players. Or it's..."
"Here, it used to be a sea! At least it was a lake."
"..."
...
In the end, the three of them were on the white sand beach without any gains.
But they didn't come here for the harvest.
Seeing that the once white sandy beach had turned into a dead place, Romiya felt depressed.
After finding this place, the three of Ning You successfully found the village that Romiya mentioned.
Since Romia said that the village was rich in salvagemen, it was easy to find it along the shore.
——[Yasim Village].
There is a small port in the village of Yasim.
In the port, there are many small airships docked.
These airships can only accommodate a few people, and the speed is not fast. These airships cannot be used to sail between giant beasts.
When Ning You and the others passed by the small port, they happened to see a small airship that had been salvaged from the sea of clouds.
The salvageman wore equipment like a diving suit. On the round hood, there was a pipe connected to the airship.
The salvage crews use the pulling force generated by this pipeline to enter the sea of clouds and salvage various relics sunk in the sea of clouds for a living.
"Excuse me, do you know Kenai?"
Ning You stepped forward and asked.
Originally, the villagers looked at the three with vigilance.
But when Xiao Chu'er came forward, the villagers instantly became enthusiastic again.
And when they heard that they knew Kenai, they cheerfully showed Xiao Chuer the way.
"...Your charm value is quite high."
Xiao Chu'er smiled contentedly: "It's so-so, probably only two or three times the average person's."
"..."
In Yasim Village, there are not many pedestrians on the road.
It seems that most of them have been salvaged from the sea.
The three of them walked on the road, paying attention to whether there was an exclamation mark on the forehead of the NPC from time to time.
But they didn't really want to use some errands that reward petty profits, so they simply went straight to "Kenai's house".
I came to the place pointed by several salvagemen. This is a small one-story house. It is estimated that Kenai's family environment is barely well-off, not too shabby.
An old woman in plain clothes is pushing a flatbed cart, and with the help of vivid illustrations on the flatbed cart, she is telling stories to the children around her with a smile on her face.
The three of Ning You stepped forward.
"Once upon a time, there was a handsome salvageman,"
"One day, he met a mermaid..."
After approaching, Ning You and the three of them couldn't help being taken aback when the old woman's tone was like a storyteller.
It's actually a mermaid story.
Originally, they wanted to get straight to the point and ask where Kenai was. But when they found out that the old woman was telling the story of the mermaid, they all joined the ranks of the children and listened quietly to the continuation of the illustrated story.
But listening...the expressions of the three of them changed.
At the beginning, I listened to it with the mood of listening to a love story.
After all, this opening is a typical mermaid love story.
But no one expected that the painting style would change suddenly and become a thriller.
The old woman quickly switched to the next illustration.
In the graphic illustration, a mermaid with a blue face and fangs scares the little kids to howl.
But although the little kids were screaming, they didn't show much panic on their faces. It seemed that they had heard this story more than once.
The story is very simple from beginning to end.
Once upon a time, a salvageman went out to sea to salvage and met a fish. Ah no, mermaid.
If the mermaid is out of the water for too long, it will turn into foam and disappear, so the salvageman kindly saved the mermaid.
Before the salvageman met the mermaid, he already had a beautiful wife who was about to bridal chamber. She lived a happy life and was about to reach the pinnacle of her life.
But after saving the mermaid, the handsome boy hid the mermaid on the white sandy beach, and ran out of the village every night to listen to the mermaid singing.
Really, just plain singing, the serious kind.
Later, the mermaid returned to his hometown.
The salvageman seemed to be under a spell, he didn't think about eating and drinking, and was getting thinner and thinner day by day.
Finally... died.
"No one can listen to the song of the mermaid. Once you listen to it, you will become like that salvageman, fascinated! Heh, do you want to listen?"
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!"
The children seemed to have known the scary routine of the old woman for a long time, but they were really frightened, covering their ears one by one, and hurried away.
In Xiao Chuer's arms, Romiya listened to the sad story from beginning to end, and patted the inside of the water bottle vigorously.
"No, no, Kenai... Kenai is still alive, and he promised to come to me one day."
There seems to be something wrong with this task.
Ning You smiled wryly, and stepped forward: "Excuse me, is Kenai at home?"
The old woman smiled and looked at the three of them: "Oh? Are you friends of Kenai? He went out to sea to salvage, and he came back at night. How about you come in and sit down, Kenai doesn't have many friends, so stay here for dinner tonight gone."
Li Erpang was already hungry and panicked, so he hurriedly agreed to come down.
When Romiya heard that Kenai was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped making trouble in Xiao Chuer's arms.
until evening.
"It's not good! It's not good! Kenai's mother, Kenai, Kenai, their boat was attacked by the sea monster 'Kuragon'!"
Fuck?
The three of Ning You, who were about to complete the task lying down at Kenai's house, were instantly stunned.
Should it be a coincidence? Or is the plot of the game too bloody?
If it doesn't come sooner or later, but they come to the door, and something will happen to Kenai?
Do you want to be so outrageous, dog planner!
"Let go of that Kenai!"
In the Brave Squad, the three of them slapped the table at the same time and stood up.
...
...
In Vulcan Mountain.
Along the mountain wall, the previous generation of Fire Source Township built a solid plank road, and it is not difficult to go up the mountain.
The plank road is big enough for three people to pass through. Bellflower walks in front of it with a bow on its back, and four robust villagers are steadily supporting a gorgeous sedan chair covered with flowers.
The rest of the villagers held paper umbrellas, and in the ashes all over the sky, they sang and sent off the bride to marry the Vulcan.
If she hadn't known the background of the story in advance, Yi Lin might have thought that this was a festive wedding ceremony.
As the team went deeper into Vulcan Mountain, Li Nali, who was sitting on the sedan chair and biting her lip in silence, became paler and paler. Between the white and neat teeth and the round lips, a trace of blood was bitten out due to too much force, as if adding a touch of blush to the bride's makeup.
As the team deepened, the singing style gradually changed.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—"
The villagers harmonized with experience, weeping and complaining.
Yi Lin felt that this team was less and less like a wedding ceremony, more like a funeral.
It's just that the person who was sent is not dead yet.
Still sat on the bridal sedan chair.
The bride's complexion is getting paler.
Like dead.
Li Lei sent his sister off, holding the spear with his fingernails embedded in his flesh.
Yi Lin followed the team steadily, no one noticed, no one knew, just like a shadow.
He had a calm expression, witnessed all this with his own eyes, his eyes were neither happy nor sad, just like a passerby.
Yi Lin should ignore this matter.
After all, so far, he has not received any missions.
Even if it spoils this "marriage delivery", it's just a white job.
There will be no experience points, no gold coins, no equipment, and no gains.
What's the point?
Yi Lin has been thinking about this question.
It's just a game.
He is just a "player" trapped in the game world.
The savior, the brave, the kind assassin, the great engineer... all identities are just settings in the game, and everything is illusory.
But for some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
Whether it's the depressing sky full of ashes, or the girl who is about to be sacrificed, or the bellflower carrying a longbow in front of the team, or the sad and indifferent villagers of the fire source village, everything makes Yi Lin feel I feel uncomfortable.
finally.
The team walked along the plank road to the mountainside.
There is a deep cave here.
The fiery breath breathed out from the cave, and the closer it was to the cave, it seemed that even the fur was scorched, which was unbearable.
"Here we are."
Kikyo said calmly.
Li Nali on the bridal sedan chair, her already pale face was as white as a piece of paper.
But she still gritted her teeth and staggered down from the sedan chair silently.
The other villagers watched the two of them enter the cave, one behind the other.
