"At that time, in addition to the common professions of paladins, monks or missionaries, the cathedral also had light messengers, and the temple also had special professions such as ascetics..."
On the first floor of the tomb, I took a short rest in a small, dark room. A restless voice with a beautiful melody came out as the necklace on my chest kept flashing. This necklace was exactly the one Alice gave me. The White Monk Necklace. After the battle with Alexander, the power of Alice contained in this necklace had been exhausted. At this time, it turned into an ordinary golden necklace. However, perhaps it is a bit inappropriate to say this. , a gold-level necklace cannot be described with the word "ordinary".
"Hey Fan, are you really listening to me?"
The girl in the necklace is unhappy. I can even imagine her silver eyes showing a troubled look, and her sweet voice still carries a coordinated rhythm or melody. It seems to have become her instinct. Although it is a derogatory way, in words "It sounds better than the singing" is really the most appropriate way to describe what she said.
"Listen, listen!"
I raised my voice and leaned leisurely against Xiaoxue's plush body with my eyes closed and meditative. The name "Xiao Fan" seemed a bit inappropriate for a person who was only as tall as my chest and who looked about 2 years old. But whenever I protested, she would rarely mention her true age. Of course, when I mentioned her true age, she always deliberately avoided it. She is really a cunning girl.
"Time will eliminate everything that is not suitable for development, which is the so-called survival of the fittest. So far, only seven major professions have survived, which explains everything very well."
"Although that is said, we cannot deny everything about them. In terms of data alone, Lightbringer and Ascetic Monk are definitely stronger than the current seven major professions. It's just because the conditions for becoming one are too harsh, so In the end, they can only be lost in the trend of history, and monks and missionaries are also unified into priests by many people. These two professions can only be used for assistance and treatment. Because they lack the necessary means of attack, being eliminated is helpless. Yes, Wu Gu
At the end, Alice let out a painful whimper and woke up from singing for thousands of years. She found that the world has changed dramatically. Many familiar things in the past have disappeared and been replaced by some unfamiliar things. It’s natural to feel depressed.
It was slightly depressed for a while. Her spirit quickly recovered, as if she wanted to make up for the weight she had gained over the past few thousand years. Whenever I have free time, she can't help but chirp in my ears with that beautiful melody, I have to say. Her knowledge is very profound, and she knows even more clearly and detailedly than Kane about anything in her era.
Although for me, I am not interested in many things Alice said at all, but when people are lonely. Even the advertisements on the radio will be listened to with gusto. What's more, Alice's voice is like music? In the past, when I was alone, I would always talk to Xiaoxue and the others. They will also sob in response to me and comfort me with the voice of their souls, but no matter how smart they are, they are still just beasts. Most of the complex human emotions are still incomprehensible to them.
Another extremely important point is that I, a traveler from outside, and Alice, a girl who has been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years, are unfamiliar and unknown to this world, which are attributes we all share. Therefore, I can talk to her without any hesitation using some popular words and tones from the original world, and she won’t find it awkward. She will just curiously ask what I mean, and then I will explain to her with a smile that this feeling I feel particularly satisfied and accomplished, as if I was training an ignorant girl into a type that suits me step by step. Wow, I am so talented.
Of course, I will not say anything that poisons an innocent heart, let alone teach her. In my mind, Alice will always be a noble saint, a saint who only belongs to me. I will not allow it. Contaminated by anything unclean.
I slowly pulled out the necklace from my chest. The gentle touch and golden light were so similar to Alice's. Of course, the melody that kept coming from the necklace made me feel at ease. I stroked it slowly, feeling the warm breath of Alice emanating from inside. My mood, which had been bright just now, suddenly turned gloomy.
Yes, Alice is in the necklace. As a ghost, she can place herself on the necklace. Of course, this is not because I asked her to do so, nor is it because she likes to stay in the necklace. It is just for the sake of it. Just to maintain her physical strength... Yes, to preserve her little remaining physical strength. When her physical strength is exhausted, that is when the two of us part ways...
"Take a good rest, Alice. I have already said a lot. Let's leave it to tonight..."
I caressed the necklace tenderly, gritted my teeth and interrupted Alice's words. In order to conserve her strength as much as possible, she could only show up for about ten minutes a day, and even her words had to be sparing... Blood, slowly It dripped from my biting lips...
"Hmm... ugh
Alice reluctantly finished her words in a low voice, and responded obediently. That troubled and crying look came to my mind again. She is really a child who will never grow up.
In order to make her shut up and take a good rest, I stood up after only resting for a moment and started on the road again. Only when fighting would Alice really stop and let me concentrate on fighting the enemy.
To be honest, when I first came to the first floor of the tomb, I was really surprised. I didn’t expect that the monsters inside were so sparse. The largest group of monsters I encountered was only a few dozen dark demons. , other pollution monsters, bone mages and so on, there are only two or three at most, not challenging at all. If it weren't for the emergence of new monster species, I would have thought I was in the wrong place...
"Done?"
Kasha held the Maldas machete extorted from me in one hand, and while training the 10 little devils under his control, he asked Farah who appeared behind him without even looking back.
"It should be almost done." Farah let out a long breath and even lay down on the chair unsteadily.
"The magic circle has been used to isolate the holy light emitted by the cathedral to ensure that it will not penetrate into the tomb and the inner corridor. However, the cathedral and the monsters within three kilometers within it are no longer able to survive. Also, a small number of The light power has penetrated into the first floor of the tomb and the inner corridor. In a short period of time, there may be fewer monsters in these two places. We must wait for the light power to dissipate before it can return to normal..."
"What a blessing among misfortunes, this matter has finally come to an end..." Kasha took a sip of wine and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.
"Don't make it sound like you have some credit, I did it all by myself." Farah glared at her and said.
"Don't say that. It wasn't me who repaired the prison wall last time. It was all the fault of Wu..." When they mentioned this name, the two of them exuded a surge of resentment.
"By the way, that day is coming soon." Kasha said suddenly.
"Yes. We should be almost ready." Farah responded, tugging on his white beard.
"Is that ready too?"
"Don't mention it. It feels like our Mage Guild has been unable to raise its head in Rogge's camp because of that reason." Farah's old face suddenly dropped, if not for his own image. He might actually cry, maybe.
"Don't say that, how can we do it without the Mage Guild? We are accomplices, and besides, you should also think about the Mage Guild's research funds, right?" Kasha said cheerfully in his signature tone He smiled over the shoulder of Farah who looked helpless.
"We must let that boy Wu bleed for a good time, hahaha..."
The two men let out terrifying laughter, and a sinister wind suddenly filled the area within ten miles...
I turned around suddenly, and the big shield immediately blocked the tip of a sharp spear that suddenly appeared from the right. And pushed hard. The owner of the spear tip, a figure even thinner than the Sinking Demon, was ejected.
rat man. A new type of monster appeared on the first floor of the tomb, a short, fast, agile and terrifying monster. These insidious little things, some were holding butcher knives as big as themselves, and some were holding knives as big as themselves. Some have spears longer than themselves, and some are even proficient in a very special hidden weapon among primitive forest tribes - blowing needles. If all the monsters in the entire Rogge camp were lined up and adventurers were asked to choose which one is the most terrifying, then the Ratman would undoubtedly be ranked first. This kind of monster relies on extremely high speed and extremely powerful attacks that come and go like the wind. Once an inexperienced adventurer is surrounded by an electric monster, he will most likely be hacked to death in a matter of breaths, and then the group of ratmen will disperse again before his companions can rescue him. , leaving only a dead body, which is really horrifying.
Fortunately, I have ghost wolves with a keen sense of smell, and poisonous flowers that are not afraid of the dark. The attacks of these rat men are not of much use to me, and thanks to the unknown reason, they attack me every time. The number of ratmen is only four or five at best.
Even so, these little things were enough to make me vigilant. After touching my arm that was numb from the shock and the big shield that was still buzzing, I thought with a cold sweat——It’s really unimaginable. Even though I'm physically naked, the strength of these rat men, who are less than my knees, has a tendency to overwhelm me.
The last rat-man that was blown away by me rolled a few times in mid-air deftly, and was about to land steadily. Unexpectedly, there was already a ferocious mouth at its feet waiting for it. The poisonous flower vines Opening his big mouth neatly arranged like jagged teeth, he made a "gurgling" sound, and before the rat man could even react to what was happening, he had swallowed it whole. The swollen mouth was as high as a python after eating. A piece of it is being digested at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, the shrill screams of the Rat Man could be faintly heard from its mouth, but in a few seconds, it went from high to low, until it disappeared. , as long as you use your mind to imagine the appearance of the rat man struggling painfully in its belly, it is enough to make people feel horrified.
With a "whoosh" sound, the poisonous flower vine spit out the corroded spear that had just attacked me from its mouth, announcing the end of this rat-man's tragic fate. It rolled several circles on the ground with satisfaction. These ratmen, who are smaller than the fallen demon, are a perfect delicacy for it.
However, the next step is the key. I used my fingers to crush a few fragile stubble on my chin, making a very mature (?) look of deep thought.
There is a straight passage in front, with a door on the left and right. It’s another crossroads. Which way should we go?
Ahhhhh... Prison makes sense, why should even a good tomb be made like a maze? Is it to prevent the dead from pretending to be corpses and escaping? Do churches share this concern? Unable to come up with an answer, I immediately went crazy.
Lord, give me a sense of direction.
"You should go straight ahead."
The necklace on the chest suddenly made a sound.
"Why go straight? And with such a sure tone? Where did a ghost that has been squatting in a house for thousands of years get the inspiration?"
I have serious doubts about the suggestion of a ghost who has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. The most important thing is this unwillingness to "be compared"! !
then. I decisively chose the door on the left. Let me, the seventh sense given to a man by God, tell you how wrong the sense of direction is in a small ghost land that has been trapped for thousands of years.
"Because. You have already passed through these two doors..." Alice whispered into the necklace, but unfortunately I didn't hear it in my delusional state.
Five hours later, I was back where I was.
"If you have anything to say, just say it..." My whole body was burned out and I leaned against the wall palely and said.
"It's... it's really amazing. Xiaofan, look, he actually successfully circled the entire tomb. This is something that other adventurers cannot do! Ten points! Ten points!!! It's a difficult thing. …”
There was silence for a while. Alice said in a very exaggerated and cute tone.
"Forget it, your comfort will only make me more sad..."
After these few days of getting along. I finally figured out the character of this ghost girl. It was very different from the disguised saintly and quiet appearance when I just met her. The way the girl in front of me behaved unexpectedly made me speechless.
If you want me to be more specific, it would be——a curious baby and a purdah lady who is smart and knowledgeable but has no understanding of worldly affairs. She has strong insight and sharp words that point to people's pain points and makes people unable to refute.
To describe it simply, the ghost girl in front of me has a very weird personality. She is a scary person who can say some strange and weird words in a very quiet and holy manner. Her power is just like how she was able to survive in the spiral staircase a few days ago. It was caressed like a kitten in my arms and purred slightly. …
"Forget it, let's choose the door on the right this time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's this way..." I clenched my fists hard.
"Wow!!!"
As I turned to the right, Alice let out a short cry.
"What, is there something wrong?"
I swear, if she says anything again that can make a wounded man hurt a second time, I'll let her experience the thrill of a merry-go-round turned to 100 rpm.
"No, nothing. I just think that Xiaofan will live a wonderful life in the future."
Alice, a perceptive little girl, must have sensed the murderous intent in the words, and carefully said it in a way that could express her meaning while preventing me from grabbing the painful foot.
"Let's go, the second floor of the tomb is calling us."
I deliberately ignored the profound meaning of Alice's words, raised my fist to cheer myself up, and then turned towards the door on the right.
"Humph----"
There was a slight chuckle in my arms. If I could see it, I would definitely find that in a dark space with a necklace, Alice was floating quietly in the void, and the white light on her body was much dimmer than it was at the beginning. , but her mouth still showed a sweet and satisfied smile.
How long are the days of fighting like this left? Even if I go to that place, I will never forget this sweet memory and the way you were in pain for me...
Another day I will make a list of the protagonist's attributes related to the work, so that everyone can see it easily, and it will also be convenient for Xiaoqi to sometimes look for information. ^^
