The chapel was silent, with the light and shadow of the candles dancing. Xiao Zhimiao sat in the first row and looked at the stone statue in front of him for a long time.
The sun shines through from the church roof and shines on the stone statue of Scythia, making her look like a holy virgin.
Xiao Zhimiao opened her palms, and a small light red ball floated in her palms. This was the memory just extracted from the believers, fragments of her past memories.
Although she remembered a small part, as long as she rejected this memory, she was still Xiao Zhimiao, and her ultimate purpose in entering this game was to resurrect her brother Xiao Yun.
Now there was a voice in her heart telling her that if she accepted this memory, she would have to bear more.
But judging from the followers of the Thorn Guild, and the retrospective magic circle in Doll Town, even if she is dead in the past, she is still planning and using everything available.
Not only others, she even planned to get involved.
Has she ever regretted it?
Obviously in the blood river of Doll Town, Sethia said that the memory of the past is not important.
When death comes, she has a look of relief.
She had been planning for so long, so there must be something she had to do.
Or, it's an unfulfilled wish.
Thinking of Sethia dying in her arms, was she really... free?
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the memory fragments in front of him, clenching his hands tightly and then slowly loosening them.
What is coming is always inevitable.
But now, she doesn't want to accept these memories, she doesn't want to make trouble and make herself unhappy.
Without these memories, she also vaguely understood what she wanted to do when she was still Secia in the past.
If past memories will affect her, then she doesn't need these memories now. She will restore them when she has to.
Mu Yuan stood behind Xiao Zhimiao and kept looking at her silently. For a long time, he watched her put away the glowing memory ball and turn around to look at him.
Even though she has no memory of her time as the evil god Secia, her expression is the same as when he first saw her.
In that copy full of monsters, when he was about to die, she appeared in front of him and guided him through the level safely.
He asked, "Why do you want to help me?"
Her translucent body leaned against the stone wall and she smiled casually: "I'm not helping you, I'm making a deal with you."
He looked at her blindfolded face, her crimson lips slightly raised. In this dirty and terrible place, the wind blew up her long crimson hair and broken black dress, like a demon coming from the abyss, bewitching Luring humans to fall into the abyss together.
"Devil's deal, what's the price?"
After he finished speaking, the person in front of him chuckled: "It's not a devil, it's a god."
Muyuan smiled sarcastically: "God saves the world, but you want to make a deal with me."
"Because the world doesn't believe in gods who can really help them, I can only make a deal with you."
Her fingers slid across Mu Yuan's face: "Of course, it's also because I lack faith and divine power now. I'm not a real god, I'm just a fallen evil god."
"It's very easy to deceive people, especially those of you who have no way out and are eager for others to lend a hand. If the gods tell you a little lie, you will be grasping at straws."
"Don't believe in the so-called gods. Everything has a price, but with me, whatever you want is a fair deal."
Mu Yuan came back to his senses and remembered everything in the past. Sethia was indeed fair. More than fair, what he had done for him had exceeded what he had paid.
Although He always emphasized fairness and said it was paid for by Him.
But so what, only He actually did it, pulled him out of the abyss, and helped him cut off the unbearable past.
The rest should be paid by him for her.
This is a fair deal.
"How many members does the Thorn Guild have now?"
Xiao Zhimiao stood in front of the sea of roses and turned to ask Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan said: "There are currently seventy-eight member players."
Xiao Zhimiao took out Aqil's demi-god weapon [Bone Broken Bone]. Mu Yuan was startled when he saw the black chain knife: "This is Aqil's weapon."
"It belongs to her. She turned her life into faith and dedicated it to me, leaving only this weapon."
Mu Yuan looked at Xiao Zhimiao's indifferent expression and said, "Aqil has completed her mission."
Xiao Zhimiao: "That's not enough. She is so good and there is value in using her."
After saying that, Xiao Zhimiao looked at Mu Yuan: "I want you to find [Liu Guang] to upgrade the demi-god-level weapons and other materials to repair high-level props."
Now, the members of the Thorn Guild are all her believers. She will provide them with faith and blessing in this world, and their doing things for her is still a kind of transaction.
Mu Yuan said without any hesitation: "Yes, Lord God."
Xiao Zhimiao grabbed Mu Yuan's hand, asked him for a dagger, and carved a mark on his wrist with the dagger.
The skin was cut by the dagger, and blood dripped down his wrist onto the rose. Mu Yuan did not even frown, nor did he ask Xiao Zhimiao what he wanted to do.
Xiao Zhimiao's movements did not stop. After a moment, a rose pattern took shape. She used crimson magic to draw a rose pattern in the air. She overlapped the rose pattern with the one on Mu Yuan's hand, and her hand moved from Mu Yuan's hand. As Yuan stroked his hand, the rose pattern gradually disappeared, leaving his wrist intact.
"This is used to summon me. You can summon me directly without praying. I can also know your status in real time. You are a very important sword to me now. Try to live as long as possible."
After that, Xiao Zhimiao looked at Mu Yuan who said nothing, smiled slightly and said, "Don't you ask me what I am doing with your knife?"
Mu Yuan's voice was low and powerful: "Since I am your sword, I can control it as you wish."
Xiao Zhimiao: "Yes, the knife will not ask its owner what he wants to do with it, whether to kill a person or a chicken."
Muyuan lowered his head: "You are right, it is my honor to be your sword."
Xiao Zhimiao twitched the corner of her mouth and walked outside.
As soon as Xiao Zhimiao left Rose Town, he saw Xu Zhilan sitting on a big rock, swinging his whip every now and then, looking a little angry.
Seeing her, Xu Zhilan said gloomily: "Come out? I think you have forgotten me."
Qiansi entangled towards Xiao Zhimiao, Xiao Zhimiao grabbed Qiansi and threw her back.
Qiansi felt that Xiao Zhimiao didn't want to stick to it, so her erect body immediately dropped down.
Seeing Xu Zhilan's calm face, Xiao Zhimiao thought of Xu Zhilan's deal with her in some of his awakened memories, and the price of his deal with her.
Xiao Zhimiao walked up to him, grabbed his hand and held it in his.
His hands were cold without any warmth. The reason why he had such a low body temperature was because he traded half of his life to her, and this was the price he paid for it.
And she kept him alive and gave him a demi-god-level skill that could automatically recover and a demi-god-level weapon [Qiansi].
He didn't believe in her, so she blurred his memory.
Before, he only wanted to trade with her, but now he has given her his life and soul.
Xiao Zhimiao was thinking, if Xu Zhilan regained that memory one day, how would he react?
"Why, now you know how to coax me?"
When Xu Zhilan saw Xiao Zhimiao taking the initiative to hold his hand, the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his mood gradually improved.
He took the opportunity to touch two of Xiao Zhimiao's little hands, and Xiao Zhimiao swatted his hands away: "Let's go, I'm going to buy some props and fill up my backpack."
"You finally know how to buy props."
Xu Zhilan took Xiao Zhimiao and teleported from the public teleportation magic circle in Croya Valley to Dark Star City.
Seeing Xiao Zhimiao taking out the [Faceless] and putting it on his face, Xu Zhilan said, "Can you change the face? Don't use Mu Yuan's. I'll look at Gong Ying."
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at Xu Zhilan: "You have a lot of shit, okay."
Then she used Zhenxing's face, but the tail was missing, and the eye color and hair color were changed to black, making her look like a normal player.
Xu Zhilan looked at Xiao Zhimiao's face that turned into her house elf, gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Zhizhi, did you do it on purpose?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "Yeah, I can change whatever I want, I don't care if you like it or not."
Xu Zhilan took a deep breath, forget it, he was the only one who was going to be mad at her for being serious with her.
After teleporting to Dark Star City, Xu Zhilan took Xiao Zhimiao to several shops selling props and materials.
These props are all purchased with gold coins, because the consumption of players and locals in the Land of Gods is the same. Except for the ridiculously expensive prices of houses, other items will not be treated differently, except for some special props and materials. , others are not expensive.
A bottle of magic potion that restores ten points of health is only one hundred gold coins.
Of course, only players will see the +10 health value displayed on this bottle of potion. The full name of this bottle of potion is [Low-level Life Restoration Potion]
Advanced life restoration potions can restore up to 60 magic points at a time, and the price is one thousand gold coins.
Because most dungeons have restrictions on carrying props, players who enter the dungeon will choose to buy high-level recovery potions. If they go to the wild to farm monsters and there are no restrictions on carrying items, they will buy low-level recovery potions.
If you have enough money, you can store more. Anyway, the backpack has no storage limit.
Xiao Zhimiao visited several stores. The potions and props they sold were all relatively common. There was nothing special, but they were still useful. Xiao Zhimiao bought some of the things he thought were useful, such as some lighting guides. Small props and some attack props are also prepared.
After buying these, Xiao Zhimiao went to the bookstore in Dark Star City for a tour. Some magic books were sold here, but the players had little use in buying them. These magics were not as useful as the skills of their own professions.
Xiao Zhimiao bought a general magic encyclopedia and a dark magic book.
Books about dark magic are illegal in other places in the Land of Gods, but they can be sold normally in Dark Star City because most of them are players here. Some of the skills of necromancers and witches are dark magic.
"With your skills, do you still need to buy this kind of book?" Xu Zhilan looked at the two books Xiao Zhimiao bought in puzzlement.
These magics are of no use to ordinary players. They can be played for fun. Their skills are fixed. Some of the magics here are actually their professional skills. Other magic players cannot understand them either.
In Xu Zhilan's opinion, Xiao Zhimiao, an evil witch, has no skills that are better than those in these two books.
"Nonsense, of course I bought it just to see it."
Xiao Zhimiao put these two books into the system backpack and changed to a different location to scan the goods.
Xiao Zhimiao spent 200,000 gold coins to buy a lot of props, and another 300,000 gold coins to buy all kinds of messy materials. After checking out a few shops, she and Xu Zhilan went to the square again to look at the hands of other players. Is there anything good in it?
There are more good things in the hands of players than in the store. They are all brought out from the dungeon, or they form a group to grind them.
Xiao Zhimiao watched as players selling items would have an interface displayed in front of them with the items they wanted to sell.
After looking around, Xiao Zhimiao didn't see what she wanted, so she only picked out a few materials and bought them.
The things in the player's hands are much more expensive than those in the store, and just these few items cost her hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
"What are you looking for?"
Xu Zhilan could feel that Xiao Zhimiao didn't buy what she wanted, and her eyes kept scanning the square.
Xiao Zhimiao asked: "Are there no players selling materials for upgrading demi-god-level items?"
She also thought that if she could buy it from a player, Mu Yuan and the others wouldn't have to run away.
Xu Zhilan said: "You think this material is like cabbage. You can buy it if you want. You can only get it by going to dungeons and designated locations in the wild to spawn monsters. Moreover, players who have spawned this material will not sell it. Even if it is sold, it will be on the market." The price is tens of millions of gold coins.”
After saying that, Xu Zhilan looked at Xiao Zhimiao and said, "You want to make a demi-god level prop?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "I have this idea."
Since there was nothing left to buy, Xiao Zhimiao was ready to go back. Suddenly, she saw several people wearing white cloaks. On the back of the cloaks, there was a ring-shaped snake pattern.
Xiao Zhimiao looked stern. The white cloak and the ring-shaped snake pattern were exactly the same as the mysterious man she met on the way to join the Shenwu Bureau. The mysterious man shot the monster "Slit Girl" that attacked her to death. Stop this monster from continuing to communicate with her.
Xiao Zhimiao spoke in a deep tone and asked Xu Zhilan: "Who are they?"
She had never had time to check on the mysterious man before, but she also knew some of the guilds at the front of the Land of God's Arrival. Their logo did not belong to any guild she was familiar with.
Xu Zhilan followed Xiao Zhimiao's line of sight and said, "Are you talking about the ones wearing white cloaks? They are from the God Guild."
"Godly Guild? How is its ability?"
Xu Zhilan said: "They are not players, they are natives of the Land of Gods. They are one of the few indigenous guilds, but they are the strongest. Because they are not players, they are not on the rankings. If they are to be ranked, they can at least enter." Top five in the rankings.”
"The Guild of Gods..."
Xiao Zhimiao watched them disappear into the teleportation array before looking away. She was not in a hurry to find out what connection they had with her brother Xiao Yun and why they were following her secretly. Now she knew they were gods. An organization in Lin's Land, wait until she levels up and makes her weapons.
Before returning to his residence, Xiao Zhimiao pushed Xu Zhilan away, teleported to the wild map, and summoned Adisang.
