"Hello, stranger, I'm Bill. If you don't mind, I can give you a brief introduction to the island."
"Thank you for your kindness, Bill. I am Hill and this is my companion Jom."
Anvis also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it gently but not too hard.
Physical fitness is average, the highest is only two levels.
"Okay, Hill, what a name."
After shaking hands with Anvis, Bill nodded.
"I think you should have noticed that this island is unusual. There is a strange curse that permeates the wilderness of this island.
That is not without reason. According to the oral tradition of the old people on the island, in ancient times, this island was a place abandoned by the ancient gods. "
"'The god sealed the shadow of his inner darkness here and tore the island from the mainland and threw it into an ocean shrouded in endless mist.'
It is said that whenever night falls, His shadow still wakes up from its slumber and wanders among the ancient mountains of the island. And with His indescribable gaze, he patrolled the dark jungles and wilderness of the island. "
"Once you are stared at by the eyes of the ancient gods, the horrible erosion will fill your heart, cause your body to undergo hateful changes, and completely swallow up your reason."
“The earliest ancestors fell to this island from shipwrecks, but due to the strong curse on the island, most people soon went completely crazy.
The remaining survivors, who were more determined, prayed to the gods in despair.
The benevolent old gods heard the prayer and began to pity the plight of the people on the island. "
“So He descended the temple and blessed the land at the edge of the island, making it fertile and invisible to the sight of the Old Gods.
The people who survived built a town around the temple of Rai. This is the place blessed by the gods, 'Lavanles', which is the town in front of you.
Only under the radiant shelter of the Temple of Rai can we escape the terrifying cursed gaze of the ancient gods. "
As he spoke, Bill licked his lips at the homeless man with a look of pity on his face.
"See that poor guy? He became like this because he failed to rush back to the sanctuary of the Rai Temple in the town before night fell."
“Night is the time when the ancient god’s curse is most active, and a large number of monsters under the ancient god will go out to look for food.
Unable to return to town, the poor man sought shelter in the wilderness outside and hid for the night, but was still eroded by the power of the curse and became like this the next day. "
"So, outsiders, no matter what you are here for, you must remember to return to the city before nightfall!"
As he spoke, Bill stepped forward and led Anvis towards the town.
"Come with me and I'll take you around this town."
.….….
The scenery in the town of Lavanles is just like those ancient towns during the ancient magic empire.
After entering this ancient port town, Anvis could clearly feel that the environment here seemed to be enveloped by an extremely peaceful force field.
This force field blocked the influence of the chaotic force field in the island's wilderness, preventing it from invading the people in the city.
The flat road is paved with a kind of gray-white gravel, and various small shops are open on the street. The signboards at the entrances of the shops have begun to yellow and peel off due to age and disrepair.
"Go straight along this street. The largest rock building on the roadside, which is nearly twice as tall as other buildings, is the largest hotel and tavern in this town."
If you need a room, or are looking for some news, that's the place to go. "
Look in the direction directed by Bill. Anvis saw from a distance a large building made of blue-gray rock, standing out among the low buildings on the roadside.
"By the way, do you have any coins that are common here?"
Speaking of hotels, Bill seemed to suddenly think of something.
"What's common here?"
Avis asked rhetorically.
"Black copper coins, silver gold coins, platinum coins. All the mainstream currencies of the Magic Empire Veselam."
Bill explained.
Anvis raised his right hand from under the cloak, which contained several silver and gold coins.
"Yes, that's it."
Nodding, Bill glanced at Anvis.
"And walk along this avenue to the end, and you will see a hill in the center of the town. The location of the Rai Temple is on that hill."
"...Thank you for introducing and explaining to me. This is enough, Bill. Just treat it like I'm buying you a few drinks."
While speaking, Anvis suddenly paused slightly, then smiled and directly handed several silver and gold coins in his hand to Bill.
"Okay, Mr. Hill, thank you for your generosity, then goodbye!"
Bill's eyes lit up and he nodded happily. After accepting the silver and gold coins, he returned towards the dock with a smile on his face.
The value of silver and gold coins is still very high. These few coins are enough for him to drink for more than a month.
Looking at his retreating back, Anvis frowned slightly.
He always felt that there was a vague sense of disharmony in Bill, but he couldn't pinpoint the details.
"Sir Qiaomu, is there anything wrong with him?"
"His condition is basically normal, Sir Anvis. However, the force field here may not be as safe as he thinks."
Qiaomu, who had always remained silent, opened his mouth to explain.
"He has a faint and strange chaotic corrosive power on his body. It should be what he calls the 'curse' in the island wilderness."
"Is that so?"
Anvis nodded and did not continue to delve into the matter.
At this time, he had a new discovery to study.
"So, Sir Qiaomu, what is that black ball that appeared in the alley?"
Just now, while talking to Bill, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that a pitch-black elliptical sphere suddenly appeared out of thin air in a small alley on the side of the road.
What is that?
"Black ball?"
Qiaomu looked at the completely empty alley where Anvis pointed with some doubts.
"Sir Anvis, where is the black ball you mentioned?"
"Can't you see, Jom?"
Anvis was also stunned.
After thinking about it, he took Qiao Mu and walked over cautiously.
Swish——
Before Anvis could get closer, the black ball suddenly turned into a female nature elf!
?
Anvis stopped immediately and took a step back without leaving a trace.
Is this a player?
That's right, counting the time, the first open beta for players should also start.
Swish——
The nature elves suddenly turned into dark elves.
Swish——
The dark elf turned into a female dwarf again.
Anvis: "..."
To be honest, as an NPC, watching this scene feels quite weird.
