I thought quickly for a tenth of a second and answered truthfully: "I don't know why. I kept saying that I was here to do business with you, but those people just wanted to kill me. They also said they wanted to rob me. Female companion. But actually, it was my companion who killed those people instantly, not me. She is a powerful character."
The expression of the priestess changed very subtly several times, and she asked again: "Can you really kill the Balrog?" I nodded strangely, and then asked: "What do you mean, you are afraid of the Balrog? Are you afraid of us?" The priestess said stiffly, "I'm not afraid of you." I smiled without exposing her. Instead, he said: "Then, are you interested in telling me about your grievances and grievances with the Balrog?"
The priestess's eyes lit up and she showed an expression of joy, but then she returned to normal and said: "Hero, if you defeat me, I will tell you and do business with you." Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart. Why do these people, beasts, and elves I meet always want to fight with me? At this moment, the charming and sexy priestess suddenly took out two golden daggers and threw one to me. I looked carefully at this small dagger. It was about sixty centimeters long. It was golden in color, but it was not particularly soft. It was probably not pure gold. But if this thing is chopped, it will probably deform by half. At this time, the priestess posed and said: "If you defeat me, I will give you everything you want."
I looked at the indescribable priestess in front of me, feeling very tormented inside. The impulse of Yue Ling makes me long to seal her throat with a sword; the impulse of man makes me long to conquer her; but reason tells me that even if I have the power to be unrestricted, I cannot give up my sense of justice and my bottom line as a human being.
So I put my hands in my pockets and adjusted my posture. Said: "Come on." Immediately, I let go of the hand holding the golden dagger, stepped forward, crouched and swayed, avoiding the swift sword of the priestess. It seems that this girl has very deep basic skills. It's not the kind of fight I imagined. Then I reached out and took off the gold tiara on her head.
With a clang, my little golden dagger hit the ground and made a crisp sound. The priestess, with her hair scattered, looked at the sword in confusion, and looked at me in disbelief. I looked at the gold headdress again. The craftsmanship was very complex, with delicate patterns and clear textures. And it is inlaid with many gems that I can't name. It can be seen that this headdress was not made by this group of foreign adults with degraded civilization.
I stretched out my hand and handed the tiara to the priestess who looked disappointed, but slightly happy. Said: "Can you please share your story with Balrog?" The priestess put away the golden dagger and the headdress that should be priceless, invited me to sit down, and poured me a cup made of gold. Asked for a glass of water, it means there is not much food, but there is spring water. After a polite courtesy, she began to tell their story.
Their ancestors suddenly and inexplicably came here. No one knew what happened, and no one could make any contact with other people. Later, their ancestors gradually gave up looking for their original world. However, due to insufficient productivity and a mediocre environment, they would encounter various extremely difficult monsters to deal with when expanding outwards, so they were trapped in this area and could not get out. Gradually, food became scarce and their population dwindled. In the end, a civil war broke out, and many people died and many people fled, but they didn't know that they might have been killed by monsters, or there were some who were lucky enough to survive.
Their ancestors were among the small number of people who survived the civil war. And continue to eke out an ignoble existence in the home of mankind. But one day, their home is gradually shrouded and invaded by darkness, and their people disappear inexplicably. Later, when they gathered together to live together, they discovered that it was the Balrog. The Balrog would come every once in a while and burn them to death, or crush several people to death with lava, and then go underground. No one knows why. The bishops at the time recognized it as the Balrog, the devil among demons. They tried to make a giant cross out of wood and soaked the remaining crosses in water, hoping to stop the Balrog with holy water and crosses. But Balrog doesn't seem to believe in religion at all, just like someone who has never practiced Qigong cannot be beaten away by someone who knows Qigong. In the end, their ancestors had no choice but to give up the homes they had bought with the blood of their compatriots during the civil war, pack up their valuables, and start fleeing. Along the way, the Balrog still pursued them leisurely. Until one day, their ancestors discovered a colorful mountain and hid in it. After a while, Balrog stood outside the mountain with a large amount of gold piled beside him, and said to them in a very awkward voice, if they were willing to guard a spiritual stone here and nourish it with gold. When the thing inside the spiritual stone grows out, they give it to the Balrog, and the Balrog will stop chasing them.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "The Balrog hasn't come looking for you since then?" The priestess took off her headdress, nodded, shook her head, and replied: "It doesn't mean that we haven't come looking for our people. If we stay in this colorful Wuxia Mountain, the Balrog will not harass us, but because there is still a shortage of food here, once we have suicide squads venturing out to find food or a new habitat, the Balrog will kill them. Anyway, Once they go out, they never come back.”
I asked again: "So you have been guarding the spirit stone here, waiting for what kind of spiritual object it will give birth to, and hand it over to the Balrog?" The priestess seemed not to want to go around in circles, took a sip of water, and said: "Actually, I also I don’t know, we can only live like this for now. At least here, we won’t be killed by the Balrog. Moreover, we noticed a very strange phenomenon.” “What phenomenon?” The priestess actually shook her hair and said : "Since we started gradually piling up gold around the spiritual stone, that is, after filling in the many stripes in the Bagua platform you mentioned, Wuxia Mountain has gradually grown. Up to now, this mountain is stronger than our ancestors. When I arrived, it was already at least half as big." Hearing this, I became even more curious and asked, "So, the Balrog has never entered this mountain?" The priestess shook her head firmly and replied, "No, The Balrog has never set foot inside. But as long as our people go out, the Balrog will kill them without mercy."
After listening to the story of the priestess, I smiled and said: "Then why did your people directly kill me when I came here?" The priestess glanced at me and said: "For us, this spiritual creature is the only way to save our lives. , we have set it as a forbidden area, and only the sacrifices can enter and exit. They can only guard, and any intruders will be killed." I laughed even louder and complained: "Don't fool me like this, my female companion and I went in together, and your men didn't even shoot an arrow at her." The priestess smiled bitterly and said, "This is also the condition I plan to negotiate with you soon." When I heard this, I felt a thump in my heart, she didn't In exchange, Xiao Qian will be asked to keep her as Mrs. Yazhai for someone.
The priestess shook her hair again and said: "We have a very low birth rate and an extremely aging population. There are very few young men and women, and women's reproductive cycles are also very long, so for us , young women are very precious. Now, you have become very precious too." When I heard this, my words were wrong and I hurriedly said: "We are here to discuss business and have no intention of getting involved in the grudges here. It's not too early. Well, why don't you reward us with some gold, and I will definitely keep my promise and exchange it with you for delicious fish."
The priestess said again: "Don't worry, listen to me and agree to my conditions, you will get more."
