Chapter 5 Everything from scratch (3)
After lunch, Link, who had nothing to do, went to the north hill again. He used the wooden sword he trained to beat the rabbit. The moving objects were indeed more difficult to hit than the target that could not move, especially the rabbit after the mutated speed, which was like a fast forward scene. It was still a few meters away at the top, but it rushed to the front in the next second.
After practicing for a while, Link gradually adapted to the rabbit's speed and attack method. Except for the first few strokes, he was not bitten again. Realizing that the siege was ineffective, the rabbits left their injured companions and retreated back to the hills. Finn finally called the timid villagers and distributed the excess rabbits to them. The villagers who were always trembling finally showed a happy expression. Everyone brought Link's trophy back to the village for an afternoon.
People set up stoves and iron racks in the center of the weeded old town. Finn sighed that the village had not been so lively for a long time, and since he came here, he looked lifeless.
That night, Link, who was full of alcohol and food, had insomnia again. Fearing that he turned over and affected his sleeping Finn, he came outside the house, breathing the fresh air in the mountains and continued to think about the unsolved mysteries.
If I was pulled into the illusion because I had some intersection with Shuang Han's fate, in the illusion, I have successfully broken Shuang Han's life box and completed the main task, why do the gods still summon me? Do you want me to kill Shuang Han here? Don't joke, the time here is delayed by decades than the illusion, and it is more than lv50 earlier, not to mention that I am destroying Shuang Han's life box in the illusion, not here...
Link sorted out the process of the harsh winter becoming frost and the conspiracy he deliberately designed.
Could it be that the life box that was destroyed in the illusion is also the life box of Shuanghan here?
Link made a bold assumption based on this.
In order to ensure that he can achieve true "immortality", Yan Dong decided to make his body in the illusion into a life box when he was still alive. In this way, as long as no one could destroy the life box he hid in the illusion, which was protected by Malik barriers and interlocking conspiracy, no one on the real Edgar could completely kill Shuanghan. Due to the constraints of the law, although the strong people gathered here, they eventually lost the northern battle against the undead.
This can really explain why I was selected, but new problems arise.
Since the illusion of the earth is a space specially created by the second generation of gods to absorb faith and return to Edgar, there should not and cannot be natural gods there. The profession of the Son of Nature before also confirms this from the side.
Did any agreement be reached privately? Once the creatures in the material world die and have no faith, the second generation of gods will lose their source of faith.
Since leaving the Guardian Land, Link's experience is like riding a rocket, speeding up all the way. He always feels that there are invisible hands guiding everything in the dark, and discovering letters, Su Wen, Thunder, Lena's love triangle tragedy, and the conspiracy of the careful planning of the Severe Winter. Although he has now figured out that he entered the illusion and was specially chosen to break the Frost Cold Life Box, the speed is too fast. Others have been exposed to the main line of summoning gods a year or even longer. It only took him a month, as if the mysterious power behind him was controlling everything to make him hurry up, hurry up...
Is it true that the situation here is critical? When Isol was contaminated by the undead after Andrea, Link felt deeply powerless.
Thinking about Andrea, who was in charge of magic, was polluted, and the mages all moved into the camp. I don’t know what would happen if the Earth Pillar was polluted, Ronno said that the druids and elves of Mount Olasio were crazy. My son of nature had the most skills, would it be affected? I spent so much energy to upgrade, but all the abilities obtained after going through trials were taken back. Can it not be depressed?
When it comes to trial, Link thinks of a problem that he has always ignored.
All four abilities representing the four elements were gathered together, but he only experienced three trials. The first time Isol, the second time Kaogo, and the third time was Andrea. Only Gasos, who did not represent the wind! He had never seen Gasos incarnation, nor had he ever talked to, nor had he ever had a single time.
Link couldn't help but grab his head. There were too many mysteries, and he solved them one by one. He was about to go back to sleep, but suddenly he felt that the forest was too quiet. There was no sound. When he first came out to breathe, he could still hear the sound of nocturnal animals moving. Now it seemed to be silenced, terriblely quiet.
A smell that he was so familiar to him came from the air, and Link suddenly became nervous. He quietly closed the door and ran to the inner room where Ronno was sleeping.
"Wake up!"
Ronno, who was still pretending to be asleep, held the dagger under the pillow when Link approached. Hearing Link knocking on the door, pretending to have just woken up, "What's wrong?"
"There is a situation outside, get up quickly!" After saying that, Link climbed into the attic again and woke up the sleeping Finn.
"It's not dawn yet..." Before he finished speaking, he was completely awakened by a scream. He stared at Link with wide eyes, "What happened?"
"It's the undead." Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, just relying on the rotten and dead air in the air, Link could judge what the culprit was that screamed.
Ronor lifted the mattress and took out a dagger from underneath. He hesitated for a moment, but instead of handing it to Link, he chose to stay himself.
Another scream, Link opened a crack in the door and saw a group of pale bones striking in the night rushing into the villagers' homes. He asked Ronor to take Finn away quickly, leaving behind the broken rear.
"We can hide in the cellar." Finn, dressed, opened the cellar door for storage, and was about to stuff food and water into it.
Link shook his head repeatedly, "That's not a good idea. The undead can sense life, and even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can find you."
Finn looked at Ronno helplessly.
In the end, Ronno made up his mind that he would not defeat his opponent, leaving was the only way.
Link opened the door again and happened to hit a pair of gloomy ghost fires, the soul flame of the undead. There was a tall skeleton standing outside the door, and a sword was directed towards him.
After avoiding the attack that stabbed towards the heart, Link hit the skeleton hard. He and the skeleton rolled down a one-meter-high wooden staircase. Rono pulled Finn and ran out of the wooden house.
Link got up and was snatching the sword from the skeleton's hand, but he couldn't hold it too close. He could only run to the pile of firewood and pick up the axe that he had placed on the ground in the morning as a weapon. Although it was a little rough, it was better than being bare-handed.
The skeleton hit by brute force stood up, raised his sword and chased after him, swept it a few times, fast and anxious, and was quite in a state of mind. I thought I should have been a mercenary militia or something before my life.
Crying sounds spread throughout the village. While doing so, Link was dodging and watching the situation of other villagers, two families had already caught fire. In the afternoon, there were several people standing in the square where the dinner party had been held. A commander-in-law dressed in a black robe was counting the villagers they caught.
Link was anxious and angry. This was not an illusion, but a living world. Those people were not virtual NPCs, but a living life. It would be fine if they had been transformed into undead, but being a living person who harmed the same kind so much is simply crazy.
Rono returned and saw him turn back. Link thought he wanted to save someone, so he urged him to leave quickly.
"We can't get out, we are besieged." As Ronno said, Link saw more undeads forming circles from all directions, gathering them little by little. The villagers who escaped by luck were driven back.
With a short sword snatched from Ronor's hand, Link rushed towards the closest undead with his dual weapons. Almost like instinct, completely unthinking, and fighting the skeletons purely by the feeling engraved in his memory. Sweeping, vertical slashing, and stinging, these sword techniques that he used as skills cut the skeletons into pieces, and the encirclement was forcibly opened a gap. Just as the villagers rushed over, a white light flashed across the sky, and the ice arrows frozen the villagers who ran out of the encirclement into ice sculptures.
If Ronor and Finn run faster, they will suffer.
"I didn't expect there was a swordsman hidden in this small mountain village." The voice came from behind. Link turned around. The necromancer who had been in the square had already come over with the villagers who had just transformed into the undead.
Seeing those relatives and friends with blue faces and still alive, several of them were so scared that they collapsed on the ground. They also resisted. Even if they beat the skeleton into several pieces, these lifeless dead objects would still be re-stitched under the control of the necromancer.
"Well~ three new faces I've never seen before." The Necromancer saw the faces of Link, Ronor and Finn, and tilted his head to look at the living villagers, "Where are the traditions you have always adhered to?"
Several elderly people chewed their teeth, and the young children hugged each other, but no one said anything.
The Necromancer grinned, "Don't you say it? You can't speak again soon."
"Please don't kill the children, they are innocent." A villager begged with horror.
"My mother said this back then."
The villagers opened their mouths and their eyes fell on the three people led by Link, "Then they can let go. They are not from the village and have no grudge against you."
The Necromancer nodded, "Indeed, they have no grudges with me. But... my mission has not been completed yet. If I have to raise up to 100 people tomorrow, I can't get a job."
In the short conversation, we can hear that the necromancer and the villagers knew each other, and it may even have lived here before. No matter what inside information was there in the village slaughter case that happened twenty years ago, it cannot offset the fact that he destroyed his human nature and killed innocent creatures.
Link stared at the Necromancer with his eyes. If he could get rid of him, there would be hope for breaking through. Can he kill a Necromancer with his current strength?
It's better to sit there than to wait for death.
He threw out the axe as a arch, and took advantage of the mage's attention, Link rushed over as fast as possible, and used all his strength to raise his sword to slash at the necromancer.
"when!"
The invisible barrier immediately hit Link's attack.
Oops, why did I forget this? The mage has barriers to protect it.
The necromancer moved his pale fingers, and Link was hit by the ice arrow. The huge impact force knocked him away and fell heavily to the ground. The sound of fractures was particularly clear in the dead night. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
