The Little Golden Tree Square was filled with villagers. They all knelt on the ground and wailed.
Everyone listened as they said that they wanted to kill the little witch, but at the same time they said that they could not kill the little witch, because she must support the Golden Village and continue to support the Golden Tree.
Xiao Zhimiao stood beside the golden tree and watched them quietly.
The sky was gloomy without a trace of light, only the burning fire of the golden tree illuminated the surroundings. She was wearing a dark mask and could not see any emotions.
The system will pop up a panel from time to time to remind the player of the progress of the copy.
On one side is the glow of the golden tree and the wailing of the villagers, on the other side is the system interface flashing with the light of various data, reality and illusion intertwined.
Looking at these villagers who kept praying and kneeling, Aman sneered: "This golden tree is the culprit that harmed them. What bullshit god of light? How could a real god create such a thing that harms people?" These villagers are really stupid."
Nan Xue said: "From our perspective, the golden tree is a scourge, but these villagers may not think so."
Aman: "So they know what the golden tree is, and they still continue to worship it?"
Sun Yuyue patted her shoulder: "Little Aman, you are still too young. These villagers are not good people."
Shen Mi said: "But our mission is to rescue these villagers and restore them to health."
Shen Yue said: "That's true for the main mission, but the NC on the main mission is not necessarily a good person."
Nan Xue turned to look at Xiao Zhimiao, who was standing next to the golden tree, and said, "I went to the hotel again and checked into the rooms of the two brothers and sisters. What do you think I saw?"
Aman asked: "Those brothers and sisters? What's weird about them?"
Nan Xue's eyes swept around the group of kneeling villagers and found the village chief Arad. She pointed to the two people next to him: "Here, those brothers and sisters, Ford and Fauna."
Others looked along Nan Xue's hand and saw a man and a woman next to Arad. Compared with the villagers who were full of chicken skin, gray hair, stooped bodies and covered with abscesses in the square, this man and woman were really healthy and normal.
But compared to the two brothers and sisters who were only twelve or thirteen years old when we first saw them, now they look like they are nearly thirty.
They have grown so big in less than a day.
Shen Mi said: "So this golden holy fruit will not only alleviate their diseases, but also make them younger?"
Nan Xue nodded: "That's right."
Seeing the madness in the eyes of this group of people, Aman muttered: "I think they are just monsters, there is no need to transform."
After she said this, the other players turned to look at her.
Aman saw their shocked eyes and said, "What's wrong? Isn't the rejuvenation a monster or something? Who knows how long they have lived."
Nan Xue's eyes fell on the small figure covered by white cloth that Xie Zhi was holding, and she said softly: "You are right, they are indeed monsters."
Using the flesh and blood of a child to feed the golden tree is not a monster or something? ..
Sun Yuyue said: "These people are so disgusting, why should we save them?"
They have seen all the paintings in the hotel corridor, and with the information Zhou Ning told them, they can piece together some fragments of the story of Golden Village.
They are all veteran players who have experienced life and death in many dungeons, and they still have this acumen.
The story of Golden Village is probably that a witch came to Golden Village to help the village, which may not have been called Golden Village at that time. The villagers here believed in the God of Light. I don’t know whether this belief existed from the beginning or whether the witch came. Yes, anyway, after the witches came, the Golden Village became better and better. The witches would help them treat diseases, and their magic power could also promote plant growth.
In the land of God's presence, witches are not very popular, which is an ominous sign, because witches can learn both holy magic and dark magic. Dark magic is rejected everywhere in the land of God's presence.
But the witch helped the villagers, and the villagers gradually accepted her.
Until one day a girl
The witch became pregnant and gave birth to a child not long after. According to the words pieced together by the villagers, this child may belong to the God of Light. The witch had tarnished the god they believed in, making them angry.
The villagers burned the witch on the stake, but her child escaped death because of her immortal body.
But maybe death is this child's release.
Because of his divine blood, the child's flesh and blood was used to feed the golden tree, which could provide the villagers with everything they needed, including restoring youth.
Year after year, day after day, the normal operation of the Golden Village was maintained, but the child could only be trapped in hell, unable to live or die normally.
At first, players thought this little witch was some kind of monster OSS, but now it seems that these villagers are.
When their group of players activated the light magic array and the golden holy fruit cured their diseases and aging, the golden village returned to its former lively and prosperous state, as if everything was back on track.
What was sacrificed was nothing but the evil and dirty little witch in their mouths.
Nan Xue looked at the hanging hands of the little girl in Xie Zhi's arms. Blood was dripping from her thin hands.
Now the story of the Golden Village dungeon has become clear to everyone, but they can only follow the main line, kill the child, release the trapped gods, and save the villagers.
They survived and cleared the dungeon, all at the expense of an evil little witch.
The corner of Nan Xue's mouth curled up with a hint of self-mockery, it was really ironic.
Maybe they can follow the story given in the copy and pretend that this is an evil witch, spreading evil power in the village, torturing the villagers, trapping the great gods with dark evil power, and they are like the brave men in fairy tales, helping The poor villagers, after finding all the clues and methods, killed the evil witch.
The evil witch died, the simple and poor villagers were rescued, the soul of the great god was released, and everyone was happy and happy.
But is this really right?
"Sister Nan, it's just a game, right?"
Sun Yuyue reached out and grabbed Nan Xue's arm. She had been on the same team with Nan Xue since she was a novice, and she trusted her the most. Before Xiao Zhimiao, Nan Xue was the one who reassured her the most. Once she was afraid, When he gets up, he will stay with Nan Xue.
"This is just a copy of the game. If we kill the little witch, she will come back to life again, right?"
Each copy is full of dangerous and scary monsters. They never feel guilty about anything because they know it is just a game, but now what they want to kill is a child.
Lu Qingyang said: "Maybe this little witch is really a bad witch. We are all bewitched by her. Don't rush to a conclusion."
Nan Xue looked at him with deep meaning: "Then you will kill him later."
Lu Qingyang threw the dagger in his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
A gust of cool wind blew, making the players rub their arms involuntarily. The temperature in Golden Village was very low. The wind blew stronger and stronger. The sky was always gloomy, and there was faint thunder coming from the sky. It looked like It's going to rain.
Seeing such weather, the villagers all began to pray for rain.
The golden tree burned for a long time, but even though the fire was fierce, not much was burned.
The strong wind blew away a corner of the white cloth covering little Sethia, revealing her red hair. This scene happened to be caught by Nan Xue.
Xiao Zhimiao just stretched out her hand to pull off the white cloth, and a green and beautiful hand pulled off the white cloth faster than her.
She followed her hand and turned to look, it was Nan Xue.
"If she doesn't come here, we'll run out of time."
Nan Xue put her hand on Xiao Zhimiao's face, turned her face back, and then stuffed a strand of her red hair that was exposed from the hood back into the hood, just in time to avoid the gazes of Aman and the others.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at Nan Xue with a normal expression, without any surprise or anything to ask her.
Nan Xue had a gentle smile on her face, put her hand on her shoulder and said, "You know what to do, right?"
Looking at her beautiful fox eyes,
Xiao Zhimiao held her wrist. Nan Xue was a smart person. She had discovered some clues probably since Kane City.
The two looked at each other for a while, looking at the figure Xie Zhi was holding with some tacit understanding.
Xiao Zhimiao said: "You don't have to..."
"It's necessary." Nan Xue said, "Are we still not friends?"
Xiao Zhimiao lowered his eyes and let go of her hand: "It doesn't count."
"As long as I am still in Kannagi, we will be teammates."
Nan Xue looked at her profile hidden in the hood. After a while, she shrugged: "Okay, so can my teammates."
After that, Nan Xue whispered again: "Zhi Miao, I won't say anything."
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at her and said nothing more.
It seems that Mu Yuan's and others' vague memory spells are not completely effective.
A burst of thunder resounded in the sky, and the next moment, big raindrops fell on the ground, and it started to rain heavily.
The villagers all cheered and knelt down to thank the God of Light.
Three figures appeared under the little golden tree. Seeing them, Lu Qingyang shouted: "It's Xia Dou! Xia Dou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crimson magic circle appeared under him, and thorns quickly emerged from the magic circle and burrowed into his body.
Lu Qingyang was unable to dodge for a moment and was penetrated by thorns in the chest.
"Ahem!"
The Crescent Moon in his hand quickly cut off the thorns and retreated from the magic circle.
But the thorns chased him and other players. The thorns kept growing from the ground, and all the villagers in the Little Golden Tree Square were entangled.
Those thorns had sharp thorns, and the villagers were bound by these sharp thorns, and they all let out painful wails.
Shen Mi and Shen Yue activated their skills, and countless flying swords easily cut off the thorns. Seeing the villagers in such pain, Shen Mi also cut off all the thorns on their bodies.
The next moment, all these thorns came towards them. Shen Yue sensed something was wrong, pulled Shen Mi's hand and said, "Don't worry about those villagers."
Shen Mi frowned and said, "But..."
She caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhimiao standing aside, and she just stood there indifferently, as if everything here had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she did not attack or care about the villagers, Shen Mi also retracted her hand.
