The three of them must have read it correctly. After Xia Zhi finished speaking, they saw a crack appear on the maid's usually calm face.
Without waiting for the maid to answer, Xin Zhixia immediately added.
"Of course, we would be happier if you could be our tour guide."
Yuan Wu took a step back, wanting to pretend that he didn't know someone.
He suspected that Xia Zhi's last sentence seemed to express, "I'm afraid you don't have enough money, so I'll just take you with me."
The maid was strangely silent for a moment, and then replied with a normal expression: "Of course, it is my honor."
Qiuqiu walked up to Xiaobai and asked in a low voice: "Is this the NPC's set line? Why do I feel like she is not honored?"
Xiaobai turned his head to meet Qiuqiu's gaze, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I don't know either."
Seeing the maid locking the door and looking like she was going to show the four people around, Yuanwu fell silent.
However, this is not the end of his silence. Next to him is the summer solstice, which is silent and endless.
Xin Zhixia looked at the maid and asked seriously: "Eh? Where is Ms. Frigga now? Can't we let her take us?"
Xiaobai chuckled. He could feel Xia Zhi's obsession, the obsession that needed to be calmed down due to being ignored by the NPC.
The maid paused for a moment, then turned to look back at Xin Zhixia.
"Today is the last day of the God's Festival. Guests from other countries have arrived in the town and they need to be received by the adults."
Xin Zhixia raised her eyebrows and replied calmly: "Okay."
Xiaobai was thoughtful.
-
This time the four of them were walking on the street, and there was an extra maid in front of them who was acting as a tour guide.
I guess the maid's status is not low.
The residents who had ignored the players as they came and went were now greeting the maids and sending kind smiles to the players.
The scene in front of me gradually overlapped with the previous moments.
Xin Zhixia suddenly recalled the first dungeon she participated in in Dead Space. When Tia took her to visit Burt Village, it was like this at that time. She followed behind her in a pretentious manner and received many friendly salutes.
Under the leadership of Xin Zhixia, along the way, Qiuqiu changed from being restrained at the beginning to politely asking the maid what he wanted to eat.
The maid treated the four of them as honored guests as always and acted as a tool very responsibly.
Throughout the afternoon, she explained the culture of the town, introduced the food features, and was responsible for the checkout and aftermath...
Because she was too conscientious, Xin Zhixia had a subtle feeling.
In the previous dungeon, none of Lydia, Jack, and Belinda were easy to talk to, so she was a little uncomfortable meeting such a dedicated NPC now.
This kind of masochistic tendency is unacceptable.
I silently thought to myself that it might be because this maid is not the main NPC.
Towards evening, they happened to arrive near the Light and Dark Pool.
At this time, many residents gathered by the pool, all holding a branch in their hands, as if they were going to participate in some activity.
Xin Zhixia also saw the version of the Light and Dark Pool without the thick fog.
At first, everything became blurry under the thick fog. Although the colors of light and dark water were obvious, looking from a distance, one could not see the complete pond at all.
At this time, the thick fog dissipated, and everything became extremely clear.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the light and dark pool. It was as if a cut had been made in the water, which strongly separated light and darkness. There was a building in the middle of the pool at the boundary.
I thought the pond was small, but I didn't expect that I couldn't see the edge at a glance. I could only vaguely see many people standing densely at the end of the pond, which made them forcefully draw a boundary for the pond.
The maid stood aside and introduced them, her voice soft and steady, like a trickle.
"In the town of Odin, there was no thick fog during the Gods' Festival in the past. Everything started a hundred years ago..."
Xin Zhixia was slightly distracted while listening to the content that was even more detailed than the preface.
I don’t know if the dungeon was specially set up, but their location was just in contact with the boundary between the light and dark pools. The residents held various branches in their hands and stood on both sides of the clear line. The people beside the clear water were so crowded that there was almost no room to stay, while there were only a few people on the other side.
There was no one at the boundary, as if there was something dirty there.
It's so black and white, not even a gray area.
Yuan Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Should the difficulty of this dungeon be increased? If we can't decide the winner before evening, once someone sneaks into the crowd here, I guess we won't be able to find him alive or dead. .”
Hearing this, Xin Zhixia suddenly came back to her senses, hesitated slightly, but still nodded lightly.
The preface of this scene didn't mention it, but she always felt that it came out inexplicably and didn't fit the tone of Dead Space.
Xiaobai's eyes stayed on the pool of light and darkness and did not respond to Yuan Wu's words.
Yuan Wu shook his head, thinking Xiao Bai was boring.
Apart from being perfunctory and not wanting to reveal unnecessary information, there is also the possibility that he is not afraid of what he is saying at all.
Qiuqiu has now let himself go, purely treating himself as a tourist.
When the maid was explaining the past history, she was embarrassed to interrupt the maid, but because she found something more interesting, she simply went aside and asked other passers-by in a low voice why she came to the light and dark pool at this time with a branch.
After she got the answer, she walked back to the four people with a strange look on her face.
Xin Zhixia tilted her head and asked with a questioning look. Qiuqiu glanced at the maid, then pursed her lips.
Seeing that no one was interested in her explanation of history, the maid stopped the explanation very humanely.
"Dear guests, if you are not interested, I can tell you something else."
Yuanwu recalled his arrogant emotion just now, which probably meant he had interrupted the maid's explanation, so he could only smile awkwardly, touch the back of his head and look at Xia Zhi.
Xin Zhixia received the gaze, turned her head to look at the maid, and nodded seriously, "Yes, not interested."
maid:"……"
Yuan Wu was suddenly speechless about Xia Zhi's emotional intelligence. He added a little guiltily: "Why don't you explain why they came here at this time with branches?"
Qiuqiu was the first to answer: "They said that because a messenger from the gods suddenly came today, they had to wait here. The branches are used to dip the pool water to welcome the messenger."
Xin Zhixia touched her chin, lowered her eyes and thought, "In Nordic mythology, can tree branches create humans?"
Qiuqiu said with some uncertainty: "It seems so." Then he added the second half of the sentence with a strange expression, "But we have the custom of dipping branches in water."
The two people talked back and forth, which attracted Yuan Wu's attention, but he didn't understand these cultures.
When he heard the messenger of the gods, his eyes suddenly lit up, "When will that messenger come? Can we see it?"
After saying this, the four players all looked at the ignored maid beside them.
The maid raised her chin slightly, "It depends on her mood. Whether or not she will come, and when she will come, all depends on the envoy."
Xin Zhixia had never been so speechless, but after looking at Yuanwu and Qiuqiu's excited expressions, she still said silently: "It's still early, we should be able to wait." As long as nothing happens.
-
While waiting, Xiaobai kept frowning, which made Xin Zhixia a little curious.
"The results will be announced at ten o'clock. Do you think there are other players now?"
Xiaobai turned his head and looked at Xia Zhi, not hiding his concerns, "This is not the point, don't you think it's a little strange?"
Xin Zhixia nodded and responded: "Yes, a messenger of God appears inexplicably in this copy, which did not appear at all in the preface."
After a pause, she chuckled and said: "At first, the maid said that distinguished guests were coming. I thought it was because the dungeon environment overlapped and other players were here."
Xiaobai pondered for a moment, "To tell you the truth, that's what I thought when I first heard it."
Looking down at the bracelet and watching the time slowly pass by, Xin Zhixia asked quietly: "Then do you think our guess is right?"
