Holy Spring.
Ye Ci came to the destination of the holy snow mountain.
This place is not easy to find.
At least Ye Ci wandered here for a day, but still couldn't find the location of the holy spring. Sitting in the depths of the jungle, Ye Ci was burning a bonfire, leaning on the fresh bear meat on the fire, and he didn't have much seasoning on his body. He couldn't cook all kinds of delicious items, so he could only cook the simplest things. the barbecue
. Fortunately, snow bear's bear meat is relatively high-grade in ingredients, so even if it is cooked in a very simple way, it can improve physical strength more than some low-grade food.
The fourth squatted beside Ye Ci, lowered his head and sniffed the aroma from the bonfire, drooling with greed. However, he didn't steal it, just looked at Ye Ci and begged her to eat something quickly with his silent eyes.
Ye Ci is holding a quill and sketching on the map he bought from Rogue Rabbit No. 1, marking out the path he has traveled this day in detail, and by the way, he also draws prominent objects in the small environment everywhere. be clear. She could feel the fourth child squatting around her, with those eager eyes, she slowly exhaled, looked at the fourth child and said, "I said, you should lose weight, many people say that your butt is too big , it would be ugly."
The fourth elder didn't care about Ye Ci's words at all, and even started to hum back, as if to say that he was very satisfied with his figure.
"But if your butt is too big, you will run slower. If you run too slowly, I will consider not wanting you." Ye Ci squinted at the fourth child, threatening very unhappy, this guy is too good to eat It's too busy to find food for it every day, and I can't win. And to cook it, it's... shameless enough.
The fourth child hummed and chirped very unhappily, but he could see that he was a little pleading. He should be saying something, but Ye Ci couldn't understand it.
The bear meat on the bonfire was already fragrant, she sighed, took out a piece of bear meat from it, and dangled it cruelly in front of the fourth child, just not giving it to it. It made the fourth child's eyeballs fall on the piece of bear meat, and he let out a whirring sound unwillingly. It's like being coquettish, and it's like arguing. Ye Ci was very satisfied with the trouble she caused the fourth child, so she nodded, and threw the meat in her hand to the fourth child, watching him eat happily. Ye Ci smiled and said, resting her chin on her hand, "This is the last time. You must start losing weight tomorrow."
The fourth elder grunted in dissatisfaction. But obviously it doesn't take Ye Ci's threat to heart. After all, for the fourth child, as long as today's life is good, as for tomorrow's affairs. That's left for tomorrow to think about.
Ye Ci took a piece of barbecue and slowly ate it while watching the sunset in the distance. That round of red sun was about to fall behind the mountain. Sanctuary snow-capped mountains without sunlight will be even colder. She couldn't help sighing, when will she find the holy spring? You know, she doesn't like this cold weather at all.
As the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, darkness finally enveloped the entire land.
Suddenly, the fourth child, who was immersed in eating meat, raised his head and looked around vigilantly. His little ears moved, his nostrils grew, and a low roar came from his throat.
. This is the most instinctive reaction of the fourth child when he finds out the danger. Ye Ci was slightly taken aback when he saw his appearance, did he find anything
She immediately kicked the bonfire away with one kick, and fiddled with some snow from the side. Destroy all sparks. The creaking sound came from the charcoal of the campfire, which was especially harsh in the quiet forest. The fourth child followed Ye Ci, looking a little restless. It let out a low roar while tensing its muscles. It seems like it wants to explode.
Ye Ci quickly reached out and patted the bridge of his nose lightly, signaling it to be quiet, and made another gesture to make it crouch down. Although the fourth child was a little reluctant, he still obeyed Ye Ci's arrangement and squatted beside her.
A hunter will never randomly choose a place to rest in the wild. The place he chooses must have a smooth escape route and a shelter that can hide himself. The same is true for Ye Ci. Although she is in the depths of the jungle, the place she chose has an open path behind and many dead branches piled up in front of her. In such a place in the dark night, It's easy to hide your body shape.
What did the fourth find
Ye Ci hid behind the dead tree, staring closely into the distance, wanting to see what the danger was that made the fourth child so nervous.
This forest was the place she chose to live. When she chose it, she noticed that there were few wild animals here, so she dared to light a bonfire and roast bear meat here. The terrain of this forest is very complicated, and even if there are not many wild animals rushing in, Ye Ci is confident that he can leave with ease.
However, it's really strange to say that since she sat in this jungle for so long, she didn't find a single beast. Ye Ci didn't take this matter to heart at first, but now he thinks about it, it feels very wrong, is there something here
Just when Ye Ci was thinking about this question, she suddenly saw something wandering in the dark jungle, and then she knew the answer to what she suspected.
I see.
Why there are no beasts and no monsters in this dense forest, until now she finally fully understood. It turns out that the real master in this jungle is not a beast, but a... ghost.
Ghosts are very strange creatures. Because of the sunlight during the day, only a few ghosts will roam, and most ghosts will only appear after they want to go down the mountain. This is probably The so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
.
Although the sky was getting darker and darker, Ye Ci saw more and more ghosts around. Their level is about 100 to 120. It is very difficult to attack them with Ye Ci's current strength, so unless it is a last resort, Ye Ci will never take the initiative to attack these wandering guys. .
The ghosts are not physical, and their attacks are mainly spiritual attacks. Physical damage is relatively small for them, and they are mainly afraid of fire damage and holy light damage. If there is a high-level priest to level up here, it would be a very good thing. And she, a hunter, is obviously very irrational to face these monsters here.
Ghosts are not without weaknesses. They stay in the dark for a long time and have no entity, so their vision, hearing, touch and smell are useless, but they have a very strong sonic perception ability. If players use skills casually, they will be keenly detected by ghosts. There will be absolutely no mistakes. From this point of view, Ye Ci feels that ghosts and bats are more similar.
The fourth eldest is too big. Although he is very strong, when facing creatures above level 100, no matter how strong he is, he will only be shot to death in a few seconds. So Ye Ci put the fourth child away. Under such circumstances, it would be more convenient for Ye Ci to keep herself alone. Just as Ye Ci put away the fourth child, a faint ball of light floated out of her package. Ye Ci is a little surprised, what is this
Although this ball of light did not have any skill fluctuations, surrounded by so many ghosts, such a ball of light suddenly appeared from his body. It's kind of creating tension. Ye Ci didn't even think about it, and immediately reached out and pinched the ball of light in his hand. Tightly put it into the leather jacket on the body, covering its light tightly.
Ye Ci raised his head and looked around vigilantly, and found that these ghosts did not find the light ball, so after thinking about it, he boldly released the light ball from his hand and watched it slowly float up. At this time, she was carefully observing the ghosts around her. It was really strange. These ghosts seemed to have discovered the light ball, but they didn't have any strange behavior about the light ball. They looked at the light ball. It was as ordinary as seeing the air.
The ball of light circled around Ye Ci, and Ye Ci found that there were some thin lights on his body, and these lights seemed to be the same as the light of the light ball.
The issue is. What is this ball of light
Ye Ci checked the properties of this light ball and found that it was the light ball released by the magic elf that Moore gave her.
. She remembered what Moore had said. Just follow this magic elf to find out the secret about his immortality, and also find a way to die for him. The ball of light in front of her just circled around in front of her, emitting a faint light, and its movements were light, as if telling Ye Ci to follow it. Ye Ci stood up carefully, without making any sound, the light ball also flew a little higher, and then slowly drifted forward.
After a few steps, it found that Ye Ci was not keeping up with him, so it flew back and started to circle around Ye Ci. Only then did Ye Ci confirm that this ball of light really led him. She looked at the ghosts that were still dancing aimlessly around, entered a state of concealment, and followed the ball of light towards the distance.
The ball of light is not as careful as Ye Ci. It doesn't seem to have any sense of danger. It just keeps drifting towards its destination. Even if there are several ghosts in front of it, it will ignore them. He rushed over in the middle, and Ye Ci, who was following behind, was sweating profusely.
However, it is also strange that the ghost seems to be very tolerant of this light ball, and does not care about its rampage, and does not even respond at all. It's just that Ye Ci's courage is not so big, she has to walk around, and while walking, she has to use the dagger in her hand to carve various marks on the tree on one side.
It's dark now, and the map's markings for these places are not comprehensive. If Ye Ci didn't mark it, he might easily get lost in this dense forest and never find his way out. I don't know how long it took to walk around in the woods. Anyway, Ye Ci saw a lot of ghosts. Gradually, she also discovered something. The light that the ball of light put on her body could resist being discovered by ghosts, so she didn't. Need to be so cautious.
After discovering this, Ye Ci finally moved a lot faster.
I don't know how long it took to go around, the light ball finally stopped. Ye Ci also stopped, just looking into the distance, and saw a towering temple in the mist. A bleak white came out. I don't know why, but this white color is very reminiscent of death.
Ye Ci looked at the ball of light sideways, and saw that it was even brighter, and it actually lit up a large area in this dark night. Fortunately, there are ghosts around here. If it's a place where some wild beast lives, you'll definitely find two people.
After a pause, the ball of light continued to drift towards the temple.
Ye Ci can only continue to walk behind the light ball. While avoiding the increasing number of ghosts, she does not forget to look at the temple.
. This temple is embedded on the mountain, and from the outside, only the majestic temple gate can be seen. However, it is somewhat broken, perhaps because it is in the Sanctuary Snow Mountain, it is covered with snow and ice everywhere. Even the entrance to the temple has been covered by snow. There are a lot of sharp icicles hanging on the top of the temple, and some icicles will fall off from time to time, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be stuck on your body.
I don't know what kind of god statue this temple is worshiping, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and it is hidden in the secret place of the holy snow mountain. There is no way for players at this stage to find it here.
Strange.
There are no ghosts at the entrance of the temple, and they seem to be very taboo about the things in the temple. Even if this temple has been abandoned, the contents inside seem to have a certain deterrent ability to these ghosts.
The ball of light floated in easily from the snowdrifts at the entrance of the temple. But Ye Ci didn't have such a good life. She could only put on the fur gloves for warmth, and crawled over the loose snowdrifts and stepped on the collapsed boulders. Effortlessly climbed into the temple.
The temple has long been deserted.
Although there are no monsters in it, there are quite a few mice.
Rats are really amazing animals. Whether in the game or in reality, they seem to be seen everywhere. They are not afraid of severe cold, nor are they afraid of the cruelty of the environment, they are always the most lively group of creatures.
When Ye Ci walked into this dark temple, the light ball in front could illuminate the road. The most passers-by on the road were probably these mice. Walking by, it seems that he is not afraid of this strange human being.
After walking for a while, I walked into the temple from that passage.
The field of vision suddenly widened. Although many places in the temple have collapsed, you can still see the huge dome painted with very exquisite frescoes, and there are arched windows with meticulous and beautiful workmanship around the temple. As for on the altar of the temple. There are no statues enshrined, but only a small fountain.
You can't see outside the hall. Logically speaking, it should be very dark, but I don't know what is installed in this temple. There is a faint light illuminating the whole temple, which also allows Ye Ci to see everything here without any effort.
Under the main altar, there are many prayer chairs scattered on both sides, but they look very old. Ye Ci gently touched one of them with his hand, and the chairs are sharp and gorgeous scattered on the ground.
. It seems that I don't know how long it has been decaying.
When was this temple lost? Nobody knows.
The light of the ball of light gradually faded, and finally disappeared in front of Ye Ci's eyes. It seemed that there was already a secret about the reason for Moore's immortality. Ye Ci climbed over the fallen pillars and gravel in the middle of the temple and walked towards the main altar.
The small fountain on the main altar is not big, but the water is very clear, but the spring of the fountain is blocked by a lot of dust and gravel, and I don't see the beauty that it can spray. The spout slowly flows into the pool.
Ye Ci stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up all the gravel that blocked the fountain, but he didn't want to hear a majestic shout: "Stop! Mortal! Who gave you the right to touch the purest stone in the world? Holy Spring!"
Holy Spring!
Ye Ci was obviously more sensitive to the word Shengquan than who the majestic shout came from. She stared at the fountain tightly and couldn't help laughing. This is where the mountains and rivers have no way to go, and there is another village. Now that the holy spring has been found, Ye Ci will have time to see who was yelling at him just now.
She turned to look at the place where the sound came from. I saw a man in a long gown slowly walking out of the darkness. He looked like he was only in his thirties or forties. However, Ye Ci would not think he was really so young, because from his eyes Ye Ci saw the vicissitudes that seemed to have gone through a thousand years.
Lost a reconnaissance technique to this man, all are question marks.
Ye Ci exhaled and raised his eyebrows. Well, now that any NPC in the game has a higher level than himself, it is better for him to be respectful, after all, there is absolutely no harm in being humble. So Ye Ci immediately bowed respectfully towards the man.
"Hello, dear gentleman, I'm just a passing traveler. I got lost in the holy snow-capped mountains in this dark night, and I accidentally broke into this ancient temple. But I found that the spring water here is so beautiful. Fascinating, I have no ill will, I just want to see its original beauty."
The man had already walked to Ye Ci's side. He was very tall and looked down at Ye Ci, who was saluting, with no expression on his face. After a while, he said, "Mortal, I smell the undead on you.
. My gut tells me that you're not completely telling the truth to me. "
The smell of undead
Ye Ci frowned, what did he mean? It's the Arrow of Light. Or a ring, or something else? She looked at the man with some confusion, and said strangely, "The smell of undead? But I haven't come into contact with any undead?"
The man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling something deeply. After a while, he exhaled. "That's right. That's the smell of undead. After thousands of years of undead, they haven't found a way to destroy themselves."
Ye Ci suddenly realized that he really said Moore. She nodded quickly: "So you were talking about Mr. Moore."
"Moore?" The man opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ci: "Is he calling this name now?"
"Yes sir." Ye Ci nodded: "I was entrusted by Mr. Moore to find a way for him to die on the Maja Continent." When Ye Ci said this, she showed a somewhat sad expression: "Although dead Spirit is a bad word, but this gentleman, what I saw from Mr. Moore was a sad man."
"Mortal, if I understand correctly, you seem to be interceding for Moore?" The man looked at Ye Ci quietly for a while, and then calmly defined Ye Ci's performance.
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment, she still didn't know who the other party was. If you answer him rashly, it will bring some inconvenience to the following tasks. So she thought for a while and then said slowly, "Sir, I'm just a mortal, I can only see what I see. So I'm just truthful about what I see."
The man didn't answer Ye Ci's words immediately, but just stared at her for a long time before sighing and saying, "The elves are indeed the kindest race in the world. They never want to see the ugly side. Don't you guys Do you know that this will make you suffer again and again?"
Listening to this man's words, it's like knowing some kind of spirit. Ye Ci thought about the arrow of holy light in her package, and suddenly had a bold idea in her heart. Could it be that this person also knows the elf king Dole? This idea came up again and again in my mind, and it boiled uncontrollably.
At this moment, Ye Ci's brain is like a fast-moving machine, immediately linking all the calculations about the Elf King Dole together.
The elf king Dole once participated in the battle with the demon king Naga with the king heroes of various races, and finally died in the battle
. Of course, there is also a saying that he did not die, but was sealed by the Naga.
The elf king Dole once experienced that battle with Moore, the lord of the Black Mud City. In that battle, Moore obtained the body of immortality in pursuit of eternal power, which is the body of the undead that this man is now doing.
The elf king Dole once fought with the demon king Naga's minion Saga, and shot Saga with his beloved arrow of light. Although Saga was a dark creature, he did not die because of the arrow of light. He panicked. He fled and took the arrow of holy light with him. Then Nob summoned Saga and betrayed his soul. In the forbidden area of the Doro tribe, he let Saga use the arrow of holy light to create a soul environment for him, and he got the This arrow of holy light. The elven arrow merchant Natasha, who seems to have insight into everything, instructed herself to come here to clean this arrow of holy light that has been polluted.
In the sanctuary snow-capped mountains, the magic elf that Moore gave Ye Ci played a role, turning into a ball of light and leading Ye Ci to the holy spring.
The holy spring was to cleanse the arrow of holy light, but at the edge of the holy spring, Ye Ci met this man who seemed to have a prejudice against Moore.
From the conversation with this man, Ye Ci learned. This man not only knew Moore, but he should also know the elf king Dole.
I remember that Moore, the lord of the Black Mud City, once promised Ye Ci that as long as she found a way to die, he would definitely tell Ye Ci everything he knew about the elf king Dole.
All of this seems to be related to the Elf King Dole, but, when you think about it, it doesn't seem to have much to do with them. Ye Ci felt as if he had only touched the tip of the iceberg of this task. And the larger tasks are all hidden in the darkness where no one finds them.
"Do you know the elf king Dole?" Ye Ci boldly asked the man after contacting all the clues. Her voice was eager, not only because she was an elf family, but more importantly. The Elf King Dole has been in her mission since she was just reborn, but he has been hiding behind all these missions, covered by clouds and fog. Regardless of race or occupation, she couldn't wait to know the past of this legendary elf king, but she didn't know what this man would know. What will you tell yourself
The man was not surprised that Ye Ci would ask such a question. After all, the elf king Dole is the king of all elves, and his existence makes the history of elves extremely shocking and powerful. He suddenly laughed. A pair of beautiful hands protruded from the sleeves, white and slender. Those hands did not look like a man's hands at all, but they were on a man's body.
. He moved his fingers lightly, and the fingers bounced like a dance, and then the fingers crossed together, "It seems that we can make a deal with the elves."
"Trade?" Ye Ci was a little stunned.
This word is not unfamiliar to Ye Ci, but it is unfamiliar. This word is often uttered from Ye Ci's mouth, but now it is uttered from one's mouth, which really makes Ye Ci laugh and laugh: "What transaction?"
"I told you about the elf king Dole. You told me about the necromancer." The man smiled lightly: "Look, how fair. We don't take advantage of anyone. You are full of curiosity now, just as you are full of curiosity about the Elf King, what a beautiful thing we say about what we know and fulfill each other's curiosity."
Ye Ci stared at the man's face tightly. His smile was very beautiful. It could even be said that this man's smile was really beautiful. It is prettier than the smiles of all the handsome men Ye Ci has ever seen. Although he seems to be in his thirties or forties, when he smiles, you actually think he is so heartless, even brilliant. His smile seems to have a huge magic power that makes people have to fall into it.
Ye Ci felt that her head was a little dizzy, which was not right. She tried to move her fingers, but found that her fingers would not move. Her heart sank suddenly, not good! This guy knows hallucinations, so there must be some magic on her. If you keep staring at his eyes, you will be 100% at a loss.
She tried her best to close her eyes, but the bottom of her eyes seemed to be holding an aluminum alloy bracket and couldn't close at all. Ye Ci took a deep breath. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she turned her body abruptly. Facing the man, only then did he realize that the back of his back was full of sweat. And her muscles seemed to lose their strength at this moment, so she couldn't hold her hands tightly.
The man looked at Ye Ci's back, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing. Instead, she quietly looked at her trembling back and laughed.
"It's not fair." Ye Ci said slowly after taking a few breaths. She no longer turned around, just turned her back to the man, and looked at a collapsed pillar in the temple in the distance. It seemed that only the mess there could make her feel the slightest interest.
"What is fair?"
"The angle we stand is inherently unfair. You can use hallucination to get the answer you want to know from my mouth, but I can only stare at you, waiting for your charity.
. The active party in this transaction is always you. I can only passively accept it. This transaction is unfair and I refuse. "Ye Ci took a deep breath and said his answer.
"Rejection?" The man seemed to have long expected that his proposal would be rejected, and he was not angry, not even a trace of superfluous emotion: "Except that you think it's unfair. Are there any other reasons for rejecting me?"
"I can't tell others about Moore." Ye Ci said slowly, in the game, each NPC has its own character, although Ye Ci doesn't know more about Moore, but from the brief contact with Moore, Ye Ci said It can be guessed that Moore does not want more people to know her secrets, so Ye Ci will never rashly tell Moore's secrets before she understands the identity of the NPC opposite. Otherwise, it is easy to be disgusted by Moore, and if the luck is not good. If she is disgusted by the NPC in front of her, then she is truly worth the loss.
"Why? His business doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"It's different." Ye Ci shook his head: "Elves are the race that can best keep secrets. I can't betray my race casually, let alone. I don't think I should tell you Mr. Moore's secret. Although I get along with Mr. Moore, It's not long, but I think I should keep my mouth shut about him."
"You're a stubborn person."
"It's not stubbornness. It's just the most fundamental principle of a person, and keeping your mouth shut can gain respect from others." Ye Ci sighed: "I don't want my gaffe to cause anyone any trouble, I just think so. "
"It doesn't matter if you missed knowing about Dole?"
Ye Ci squinted his eyes: "I think there are many people who participated in that battle, even if you don't tell me about the elf king Dole. I believe that I can still get information about the king of our race from others. news. After all. Hard work pays off."
The man didn't speak for a long time, so Ye Ci couldn't guess what happened, so he could only stand there quietly. I don't know how long it took, the man finally laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"I can't believe that after so many years, you elves are still so interesting." The man turned his body to look at the fountain, then raised his hand and picked up all the gravel blocked by the fountain. The spring water gradually began to flow more and more, and the more it flowed, the more joyful it became. "Do you think this holy spring is beautiful?"
Ye Ci looked at the holy spring out of the corner of the eye and felt that if he didn't look into any man's eyes, he should be very safe.
. So, turned the body. Looking at the holy spring, he said truthfully, "It's beautiful."
Beautiful indeed.
Not to say how beautiful this spring is, but in such a desolate and even collapsed space. There is actually a fountain so clear and so finished, reflecting the soft rays of light. Natural and unnatural will make people feel an indescribable beauty.
"I have looked up at it for many years, so much that I have forgotten how old it is." The man smiled slightly and turned to look at Ye Ci's profile: "You are a kind elf, you can treat Moore's The fact that things are tight-lipped shows that Moore's eyesight has finally improved over the years."
Hearing this, Ye Ci's heart finally fell.
Sure enough, if I made a deal with this NPC just now, I am afraid that I will be punished by some inexplicable now. She didn't know how the player who did this quest in the last life chose when facing this npc, but she thought that she didn't make the wrong choice this time.
"Who are you?" After thinking for a while, Ye Ci felt that it would be better to ask this person's identity.
"Who am I? If you don't ask, I think I've forgotten what my own identity is?" The man exhaled a long breath: "I just remember that Moore used to call me a rabbi. Maybe that It's my name."
Rabbi? Ye Ci was slightly taken aback, if she remembered correctly, Rabbi should mean the teacher.
So this person is Moore's teacher? ?
No, this man looks much younger than Moore! You must know that Moore is over a thousand years old. If Moore is his student, I am afraid that this guy is much older than Moore.
Sure enough, it's an NPC, a program is a program, and a thousand-year-old age doesn't seem like that at all.
"Moore asked you to come to me, did he regret his original choice?"
The rabbi's words surprised Ye Ci for a moment. She carefully thought about everything Moore had said to herself, and then nodded: "I think Moore has indeed regretted it." (To be continued)
