"Dollifen is very special." Jita sat on the bed wrapped in a blanket, her feet standing side by side, her little hand holding a cup of steaming water, placed between her knees and chest. Surrounded by everyone, some didn't dare to raise their heads and only whispered: "People call that place the Shadow of the Past, because there are many places there where the shadow of the past lingers."
She had been awake for a while, and she could only vaguely remember a short period of memories before she woke up, where Sylvide and Fang took turns taking care of her.
And when I thought that I was still nestled in someone else's bed, I couldn't help but shrink my neck and blush even more.
Fortunately, others don't seem to notice this
The small room was almost packed with everyone at the moment, including Fang, Attila, Red, Luo Yu, Tian Lan and Siesta except Sylvide. So much so that Parker could only sit on the table and put his two short legs outside.
Chris stood outside the door, watching this scene with some curiosity.
In fact, when this young man saw Sylvester before, he was almost stunned. I probably didn't expect that there was such a good-looking person in this world. Until now, after the other party left for a long time, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
"How's it going?" The lion man stood beside him, turned around and showed a 'kind' smile to the young man: "Have you never seen such a beautiful human girl?"
"Ah, I am definitely not, sir." Chris was startled and quickly waved his hands to explain, how could he dare to have inappropriate thoughts about a noble girl.
Red patted his shoulder with a huge paw and shook his head: "No need to explain, young man, she is not interested in you. At least so far, this human chick only has ulterior motives for a certain little fool."
"Little fool?" Chris looked towards Fang subconsciously.
He looked back again and saw the approving look in the lion man's pale silver eyes. He couldn't help but click his tongue and thought to himself that Sir Ed is really amazing. Not only his performance in the Continental League was amazing.
In reality, it’s just as enviable.
Of course, Fang knew nothing about the dirty thoughts of these two people. He was asking Jita: "Shadows of the past?"
Jita nodded slightly on the bed.
Everyone came here because of her sudden awakening.
As for Chris, he was brought along because he was answering Fang's questions before. I just didn't expect that this little girl would actually say such a thing after hearing what he said.
He heard that the other party was a naturalist. But Chris was skeptical about this. Not to mention the naturalists, the scholars he had seen in El Paxin were all old academics with big beards, no matter how big or small.
At this time, Jita looked over and said, "Mr. Chris...should know something, right?"
The young man was startled and nodded quickly. "Miss Gita is right. Dolifen is indeed a very strange place. Workers often say that place is haunted. My father has always warned me that no one from the lumber camp is allowed to go near that place, even though our lumber camp is far away from there. It’s pretty close.”
"Haunted?"
"It may not be appropriate to say it is haunted," Chris replied with some distress: "You should know that it is a town that has been abandoned for many years, but the place always reappears its past appearance, and occasionally it suddenly appears in the ruins. The appearance of a well-maintained neighborhood is like what it was decades ago, with people still wearing the clothes of that era and living their old lives on the street, as if nothing has changed.”
"Of course." The young man replied: "I have only heard about it. I have never been to that place myself, but there are often some adventurers coming to our lumber camp, and I also heard these rumors from them. , ladies and gentlemen."
"Is it like a fantasy?" Tian Lan asked.
"I'm afraid it's not accurate to say it's an illusion, Sister Fuli." Jita coughed twice and replied in a low voice: "Because among these shadows of the past, everything is real. It is said that there are adventurers I did business with the people there, and the things I bought and the money I got didn’t disappear after I left Dolifen.”
"What?" Tianlan's eyes widened: "Do those neighborhoods and people really exist? They have been living in those ruins for decades. How is this possible?"
"Fuli," Attila reminded helplessly as she was so confused by this little girl's imagination that she couldn't bear to listen anymore. "Don't keep interrupting Kita."
"Oh" Tianlan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
But this time it was not Jita who answered, but Chris.
The young man shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Miss Tianlan. There are absolutely no residents in that ruins. I can testify to this. In fact, it only has such a scene on a few days in a few months, and other times it is like this." It’s just a lifeless, dead city.”
"How many days?"
"Yes, a few days because it should be related to the third object in Dolifen."
"The third object?" Fang couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Ed," Jita gently tugged on his sleeve, which seemed a little difficult. "All the visions in Doliphon City are actually caused by three special items in this ruins. They are also what people call Dolifen's Three Things."
The girl had just recovered from her injuries, so she seemed to be struggling. As soon as he finished saying this, he gasped slightly and his face was as white as a piece of paper.
Fang quickly supported her. Aitila hurriedly said: "Jita, don't force yourself so much. We can go to Dolifen anytime. Your top priority now is to recover from your injuries."
But Jita shook her head, a blush appearing on her white face. "I'm fine, Miss Attila. Brother Ed, can you please support me like this? I still have something to say."
Attila looked at her and then at Fang. Seeing the latter nodding, she reminded: "Do what you can."
The little girl smiled very warmly.
“The third thing of Doliphon, or the three things of Doriphon, are the vine leaf and the mark of martyrdom of the faithful in the Lady’s Inn, the false blade of victory in the gray oak square…and, the arrogance of the ignorant in the town hall. Scepter.”
"The Blade of False Victory?" Fang was stunned and asked, "I seem to have heard of this name."
"This is a very famous weapon. It is the best two-handed sword magic weapon below level 17, with a quality as high as C++ level. Brother Ed should have seen this name in the community's trading market. The fact of its origin is This is the ruined town of Dollifon."
She smiled a little mysteriously. This smile with small dimples fell into Fang's eyes, and it really looked like Sylvide's smile. She is just like a smaller aristocratic girl, but with a little more pride.
And you will never see such a proud look on Sylvester's face.
"Everyone must be surprised, why is a C++ level magic weapon produced in an abandoned town?"
"This is normal," Parker replied carelessly: "It was lost by fighting monsters. There must be some kind of boss in this town!"
Before he could finish his words, Tian Lan gave Tian Lan a violent chestnut. The little French girl said angrily: "Miss Attila said not to interrupt Jita casually. Also, did you get dizzy while playing games? Where did the equipment drop from Etalia?"
The poor Papalar screamed, holding a big bag on his forehead and dared not speak in anger.
Fang glared at the two of them before continuing to ask: "This magic weapon can also be bought in the 'market' here?"
"No, my lord," Chris interjected. "Dollifen's three things are different from other things here. Their positions are always fixed. The mark of steadfastness is on the bedside table of a room on the third floor of Ms. Vineleaf Hotel, and the sword of false victory is inserted in As for the arrogant scepter of the ignorant under the broken statue base in the gray oak square, it is a weapon in the hands of a ghost in the city hall. Only by killing that ghost will it fall..."
As he spoke, he looked at Tianlan cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would be hit on the forehead after saying the last sentence.
Fortunately, Tianlan was not such an unreasonable person, she just rolled her eyes angrily. "If it falls from the hands of a humanoid creature, it's not called falling, it's called explosive equipment."
She commented professionally and in game terms.
Jita glanced at Tianlan with some humor before continuing: "In fact, every time these three items are taken away by adventurers, all the illusions of Dolifen will disappear and turn into a dead city again. And all the time It will not be until the full moon night three months later, when the moonlight breaks through the clouds and shines on this land again, that the illusion will emerge again."
"What about Dolifen's three things?" Fang realized something and asked.
Kitta nodded.
"Yes, Dolifen's three objects will also appear again. In fact, over the years, almost all the false swords of victory have been produced from this abandoned town in this way."
Sky Blue is like listening to a book from heaven. "Once every three months, these equipments will appear again and again? But how is this possible? Aren't the magic devices all artificial artifacts? Did someone deliberately put them in that place as a prank?"
"It can't be a prank." Fang shook his head: "Who can play pranks for decades? Besides, pranks can't explain other strange phenomena surrounding these three items."
"That's true." Tian Lan suddenly realized.
"This place sounds like a 'copy'." After hearing this conversation, the Papal people couldn't help but mention it.
"Copy?"
"That is an early game term. It is used to describe multiple mirror images of an area, such as parallel time and space. Things and objects in time and space will reappear repeatedly within a period of time." Fang explained.
"Hey, how could Brother Ed know such uncommon knowledge?" Tianlan asked curiously.
Fang touched his nose embarrassedly. In fact, he only knew more about this aspect when he was hanging out in the virtual community. In some retro games, there is actually still such a setting.
Jita nodded and replied: "Parker is right. In fact, there is also such a saying. Some people even speculate that Aitaria is actually a game left by a high-latitude civilization. It is said that such a place is in this world There is not just one place, Doliphon is just one of the more famous places.”
"When you said that, I seemed to remember it. I seemed to have heard of this place before, but I didn't expect it to be in El Paxin." Fang couldn't help but replied: "I didn't expect that about Aita. The saying that Liya is a game left behind by high-dimensional civilization actually spread from here. If I remember correctly, there is such a place in the second world, Covenant Mountain."
Others were still immersed in the conversation between the two, but at this time only Luo Yu asked: "Are we off topic? Miss Aitila is still here. Aren't we here for the Dragon Worshipers? Everyone What do these things mentioned have to do with Dragon Worshipers?"
But before Jita could answer, Fang spoke for her.
"Maybe there is a connection"
Fang Hui thought of the things Chris told him before. He looked back at the latter. In fact, the young man was also looking at him. Fang nodded to him: "You tell me, Chris."
Chris immediately replied: "Yes, sir." He looked at the others again. "My lords, what Miss Gita mentioned earlier is indeed the situation before Dolifen, but the actual situation may be a little different from what you imagined."
"For example?"
"In the past, the frequency of illusions in Dolifen City was indeed about once every three months, but it is far from the case now. I remember that it was about two months ago, not long after the Midsummer Celebration, a group of adventurers arrived at my father's In the logging camp, I heard one thing from them, that a team took away three things from Dolifen. Of course, this is not surprising, because such things happen three or four times here every year. Every time the Three Objects reappeared, a lucky person would be born. But the strange thing is that not long after that, there were rumors that another adventurer had taken away the new Three Objects from Dolifen."
"How long will it take after that?" Luo Yu frowned and couldn't help asking.
"If I remember correctly, it was half a month later," Chris replied. "But considering the lag in the news, I personally estimate that it should be a little more than a week. In fact, since then, the frequency of Dolifen's visions has been basically once a week, and then two or three days later. Adventurers People from all over the country came here after hearing the news, just to get a piece of this carnival.”
"How come I haven't heard of this?" Parker couldn't help but ask: "We were also in El Paxin at the time. How did we miss such a good thing?"
"Shut up, Parker," Tian Lan said angrily, and at the same time glanced at Aitila carefully: "At that time...at that time, sister Aitila...no, we were busy with other things, how could we be in the mood? Do you care about anything else?"
She was careful not to mention those key words, for fear of triggering sad memories of Attila.
But the elf girl was so perceptive that she had already understood the little girl's thoughts and only looked at her tenderly.
"Can you please stop interrupting," Luo Yu said in a rare initiative, and then asked: "What happens after that?"
"After that, a group of mysterious guys came. They blocked the main entrance to Dolifen and drove out all the adventurers. After that, it is said that there were several large-scale conflicts. The final result was that I I’m not sure, but I haven’t seen many adventurers in this area since then.”
"A mysterious group of guys?"
"What kind of person is he?" Attila also immediately turned her attention to this young man.
"I'm not sure, but it seems like I'm not one of your people..." Chris replied hesitantly.
"Not one of our people?" Tianlan was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was not one of theirs, which meant that he was not the chosen one.
That would be interesting
Everyone looked at Aitila and Fang.
"Are they still in Dollifon, those people?"
Etila asked.
