Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are neighbors, childhood friends, and classmates, but most importantly, they are sworn enemies who have been bickering since they could crawl. They both transmigrated into a...
Chapter 37 Two chapters in one "I don't know."...
Before Xia Xifeng set off, he informed Leo and Pereira to ask their gods if they had any impression of Black Stone Town.
Ever since Shuangri was able to talk to Leo and Pereira, they have been particularly active.
Especially on the Day of Hope, almost every time Pereira contacted Him, He would reply within seconds.
The Day of Birth sternly rejected Leo's harassment, but when Pereira and the Day of Hope were talking, he would come out and echo them.
Leo complained about his god, having long since realized he wasn't a god-favored person at all. Shuangri only favored Pereira.
Xia Xifeng secretly slandered Birthday with Qin Lang. Birthday didn't seem to care more about Perilla, but simply kept circling around his younger brother.
Although Pereira discovered that the Day of Hope was not the great god he had imagined, he still generally maintained respect for the gods.
Even though the Day of Hope had told him to contact them more often, he wouldn't casually pray to the Day of Hope unless it was something extremely important. Pereira believed Leo deserved to be spurned by the Day of Birth. Who would show off by poking at a deity after drinking delicious wine?
Xia Xifeng's request was of course a serious matter.
Pereira immediately cleansed her body, closed the door, burned incense, and prayed.
After a while, Pereira conveyed the "oracle" of the gods.
[I don’t know. I’ll ask my brother.]
[My brother said He didn’t know either!]
Xia Xifeng looked at the lively tone and the annotation symbols that Perilla specially added.
Okay, these are the original words from the Day of Hope, absolutely true.
Xia Xifeng asked Qin Lang with a confused tone, "What do they know?"
Qin Lang said: "I don't know."
Xia Xifeng really couldn't help it. Even though Amuruo told him to contact them less, he still asked Amuruo if the gods were a little too casual.
He couldn't ask Mr. Soul about this because Mr. Soul was too serious to speak ill of the gods.
Although Amuruo asked Xia Xifeng to contact him less, he responded quickly when Xia Xifeng pulled him aside to chat.
Amuruo: [Born as a god, I have never been beaten. That's how it is.]
Soon, Amuruo was asked to shut up by Suer.
Sur replied on Amuruo's behalf: "The gods don't interfere too much in human affairs. Furthermore, the gods' lifespans are too long, so anything they do casually will likely be quickly forgotten."
Xia Xifeng: [Why doesn't Heavenly Father hold a training class or something to teach gods how to be gods? Why do gods' personalities seem no different from those of ordinary people?]
Soul chuckled.
From the sky above, a soft laugh was heard that no one could hear.
Suer replied: "In the eyes of the Heavenly Father, the gods are just like us, beings born naturally from the world. The succession of races on earth and the succession of gods in heaven are all choices made by the creatures of this world. The Heavenly Father will not interfere."
Xia Xifeng: [Then why is there a prophet who saves the world? ]
Sur: [The prophet is also a creature born naturally from the world, and is part of the cycle of this world. Therefore, the prophet will be captured by "fate."]
Xia Xifeng frowned: "Qin Lang, we are not creatures of this world."
Qin Lang said: "The creator gods of other worlds have met their end. This world crisis is not a natural crisis of this world."
Xia Xifeng suddenly realized.
Yes, Father Tian himself participated in this war, so it is natural for Nala to get help from outside the world.
Not convinced? Go find help too.
Xia Xifeng asked, "Although the gods of our world have no sense of existence, the Creator God should also exist, right? If we want to take living beings from other worlds, do we need the consent of the Creator God of the original world? So the real external aid of this world is our world's Creator God?"
Qin Lang: "Probably, perhaps."
Xia Xifeng firmly believed that his analysis was correct.
Although the God of Creation is high above and his thinking is different from that of ordinary creatures, he also has a "circle of friends" among himself, right?
Therefore, his system may not just be the work of "Heavenly Father", the creator god.
Xia Xifeng puffed out his chest, his heart alight. "I suddenly feel a surge of pride! We're the reinforcements representing our hometown!"
Qin Lang didn't know why Xia Xifeng suddenly felt proud and excited.
He only knew that Xia Xifeng's erratic behavior was like suddenly picking up a branch from the ground and dancing with it, while talking confidently, which made others feel embarrassed.
The Silver Moon is the side of the Sun. According to players' speculation, the Silver Moon may be a "disguise" jointly managed by the Sun and the Sun.
The "response" and "blessing" of the gods are mostly automatic transponders, and do not require manual operation. You can choose a follower god on a double day, but I am too lazy to choose, so I just put on the vest myself.
This is also the reply of the day of hope.
Hmm, [too lazy to choose].
The Silver Moon Church must not know that the god they worship is in such a horrible state.
When the oracles were delivered, they must have been given a layer of "mysterious and elegant transformation filter" by the Heavenly Father in order to maintain the style of this group of casual gods.
Since Shuangri said they didn't know, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang could only check it themselves.
According to the fragmented information revealed in the copy, the shadow monsters originally emerged from a mine that had been closed and backfilled for several years.
The town was completely destroyed without any warning.
The Outer Gods just want to distort the rules of this world, which will cause a lot of killing, but killing is not their purpose.
Their attitude towards ordinary creatures is one of condescending indifference.
Before the Doomsday bell rings, every killing orchestrated by the Outer Gods could expose their plans. Therefore, every killing orchestrated by the Outer Gods before the Doomsday bell must be closely related to their plans, forcing them to take the risk of exposure.
For example, the purpose of slaughtering the Sunflower Family was not to slaughter the Sunflower Family itself, but to make Perilla, the God-favored One of the Day of Hope, become an evil god who distorted the rules. The "bloody wedding" in Blackrock Town must also be related to the outer gods' distortion of the rules.
Xia Xifeng first carefully "visited" the Silver Moon Church.
There was nothing unusual about the Silver Moon Church, and the power it exuded was no different from that of the Silver Moon Church in the City of Hope.
He could even feel the gaze of the gods.
Apparently, after he had Pereira inform Shuangri, Shuangri's attention had already been turned to this place through the church.
They might be scratching their heads and trying to recall what they had left behind in this ordinary mining town that caused the prophet to suddenly issue an alert.
Although the main faith of Blackrock Town is Silvermoon, the Church of the Sun, one of the most powerful churches in the world, also has a church in Blackrock Town.
Xia Xifeng stopped by the Sun Church to "pray".
Apart from feeling a stronger sense of familiar gaze, he still didn't notice anything wrong.
Even though he knew that the Outer Gods' methods were very covert, he had already exposed one of their conspiracies. It was really frustrating that he didn't notice anything wrong in the place where the second conspiracy would happen.
No wonder the gods of this world fell into the trap without even realizing it.
After searching the church in the small town, Xia Xifeng found nothing and could only hope to find clues in the mine.
Before going down to the mine, Xia Xifeng carefully sorted out various medicines and cooking supplies, and filled Qin Lang with buffs.
Susan said hurriedly: "There is no danger in the mine, don't worry."
Not only did Xia Xifeng not stop worrying, he also offered a buff package to Susan and Lin En.
"It's always better to be cautious," Xia Xifeng said. "Every time you explore an unfamiliar place, treat it as a challenging expedition. Many experienced adventurers have been ambushed in places they thought were safest."
Susan and Lynn stood in awe.
Is this the wisdom of great professionals?
But Lin En still refused: "Sir, these medicines are too expensive."
Xia Xifeng said, "I made this myself. I'll only charge the cost price. Consider it a small gift from our business partnership between City of Hope and your Black Stone Town. You can return the favor next time you come to City of Hope."
Xia Xifeng stuffed the things into the two of them without saying anything.
Susan and Lynn still didn't dare to answer.
After Susan contacted her mother, she blushed and accepted Xia Xifeng's kindness.
The young couple treated Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang with more respect, and vaguely tended to treat Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang as elders.
Although Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang have young faces, powerful people always have ways to maintain their youthful looks. They treat the two as elders, and it doesn't look out of place.
Even though they knew that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were very young, even younger than them, they couldn't help but feel like they were a generation younger than Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang.
It became easier for Xia Xifeng to get information.
Qin Lang and Lin En walked in front, and Lin En asked Qin Lang for combat experience.
Xia Xifeng and Susan were one step behind the two of them, chatting about the past of Black Stone Town, and then became the intimate brother who listened to the troubles of his confused sister.
Lynn glanced back unconsciously several times.
Qin Lang pretended not to see it and had no intention of comforting the jealous Lin En.
Too troublesome.
Lin En glanced behind him and then at Qin Lang.
Seeing Qin Lang's calm expression, Lin En reflected on himself.
How could he be so petty that he would feel jealous when his lover or a stranger with a partner said a few more words to him?
Every aspect of Mr. Qin is worth learning from.
Qin Lang's nose itched and he almost sneezed.
In order to maintain his cool image, he tried very hard to endure it.
Xia Xifeng also noticed that Lin En was jealous.
He said sorry in his heart.
After discovering the secret of Black Stone Town this time, he will continue to travel around the world with Qin Lang and will not meet Lin En and Susan again in the short term.
Lynn, just be patient for a moment (puts hands together and tries not to laugh).
Susan didn't know why, but she felt very close to Xia Xifeng when she saw him.
Xia Xifeng only needed a few words to get her to open up and she couldn't help but pour out her troubles.
Susan was born into a family of warriors. Her late father and her mother, who served as the mayor of Blackrock Town, were both outstanding warriors.
In such a family, Susan should be an excellent fighter, but she has been lazy since she was a child and doesn't like training at all, so she is just a beginner now.
Susan confided to Xia Xifeng everything she didn't dare to say to others.
She doesn't like being tired, doesn't like being smelly and dirty, doesn't like her tender hands covered with ugly calluses, doesn't like her beautiful skin covered with scars, and doesn't like her slender limbs covered with hard muscles.
She dislikes swords and armor, nor does she like the wails and smell of blood when her prey is killed.
Since she was a child, Susan has loved beautiful clothes and skirts, cute dolls and gorgeous accessories.
She likes singing, dancing, painting, and reading beautiful poems. She longs to wear the most beautiful dresses, attend the most elegant balls in the world, and drink the most delicious afternoon tea in the most beautiful places.
After studying abroad in the empire, Susan yearned even more for the beautiful, elegant and comfortable life of a noble lady.
"I know it's wrong. My mother has lectured me many times. But I just don't like it. I just don't like it." Susan touched the hard leather armor on her body with a depressed look.
Xia Xifeng said, "It's normal not to like something. No matter how hard you try to force yourself to accept it, you won't like something you don't like."
Susan smiled bitterly. "Apart from the friends I met at Imperial College, Mr. Xia is the first person who has ever affirmed me so much."
She knew very well that in a desolate place, one must have strength.
However, Blackrock Town had been peaceful for too many years, and she had never witnessed with her own eyes how much powerful military force the lord needed.
Most lords are just ordinary people with status and identity. They hire powerful professionals to protect themselves and their territories, so it doesn't matter if they don't have power.
Perhaps because she had not yet encountered a time when she needed strength, Susan could not like things she did not like, no matter how much she tried to convince herself.
The more she pushed herself, the worse her practice became and her mental state became worse.
Because her mother loved her, she no longer forced her to practice martial arts. However, when Susan appeared in front of outsiders, she still had to present herself as a female warrior to reassure the townspeople.
Xia Xifeng certainly understood Susan.
No matter how many right and wrong statements you make, who can always stay on the right path?
There are also many heroic female warriors in his hometown, but if you ask them whether they admire them or not, they do admire them very much, but if you ask them whether they want to suffer like that, they will basically shake their heads and back off.
During the 800-meter test at school, many people cried and fainted. Being a soldier is much more tiring.
It is strange for someone like Qin Lang to instantly get used to training and fighting after traveling through time.
"I don't like fighting, and I'm not good at it," Xia Xifeng said. "I'm really not good at it, and there's no point in pushing myself. Instead of wasting time, it's better to choose something you're better at. As long as it can help your mother and Blackrock Town, it doesn't matter if I take other paths."
Susan asked confusedly, "Is there another way?"
Xia Xifeng said, "Be a support. Look at Qin Lang, I'm responsible for all his equipment, weapons, and potions. He's so powerful, and I'm the one who supports him!"
Qin Lang turned around and gave Xia Xifeng a faint look.
Xia Xifeng raised his chin. What? You don't agree? Then take off all your gear!
Although your ability is inseparable from your system and your own efforts, but putting all that aside, just tell me whether I supported you or not!
Qin Lang stopped looking at Xia Xifeng.
He was too lazy to argue with Xia Xifeng because Xia Xifeng was shameless.
After waiting for Qin Lang to admit defeat, Xia Xifeng continued to say to Susan, "If your dream is just to do nothing but wear beautiful little dresses and put all the pressure on others, then that is indeed contemptible. But I believe you can endure your dislike of pretending to be a female warrior, so this is definitely not the case."
Susan lowered her head. "Of course not."
Xia Xifeng said, "You have to help your mother shoulder her responsibilities. If being a warrior doesn't work out, you won't be able to shoulder much more, no matter how much you force yourself. Switch to something you're more skilled at, and maybe you'll be able to help your mother even more. If you don't like fighting, practice running away and don't hold her back. If you don't like hunting, learn to make potions and scrolls. If you don't like dealing with dirt, practice business and socializing, and fight for the interests of Blackrock Town in the world of fame and fortune..."
Xia Xifeng patted his chest and said, "That's what I did. Follow my example."
Looking at the confident Xia Xifeng, Susan couldn't help but curl her lips: "Mr. Xia is really amazing."
Xia Xifeng raised his head again: "Of course."
Xia Xifeng was not embarrassed to brag about himself, but Qin Lang was so embarrassed that he wanted to hit Xia Xifeng with a stick to make him shut up.
It’s a pity that friendly fire doesn’t work, otherwise he would have knocked it out long ago.
Lin En lowered his voice and said to Qin Lang, "Thank you."
Qin Lang: “???”
He realized that Lin En was thanking Xia Xifeng for guiding Susan.
He thought of Susan in the copy, the "Bloody Bride".
Whenever the Bloody Bride uses any skill, she repeats "Power".
"I need more power."
"The power is coming."
"Power, power."
"See, my power?"... Players all call her "Strength Sister".
As her skills are activated, parts of her body become swollen and ugly, a fact she delights in, believing it to be a testament to her strength.
As long as she could possess greater power, it didn't matter her appearance or body, or if she turned from a beautiful bride into a monster with muscles bulging like stones, as long as she could possess greater power, it would be fine.
This is the star of the secondary creation area of the game "Fantasy World", "Sister Power".
Compared to "Sister Power", Lin En is much more normal.
He just silently protected his bloody bride and coldly wiped out all invading enemies. He only looked back at his bride when he died. The tears in the corners of his eyes fell and turned into a teardrop-shaped dark red gem, which became the player's trophy.
So in the second creation, Susan and Lynn are the grumpy "Power Sister" and her virtuous "little husband".
The copy does not have the scenes of Susan and Lynn's daily interactions before they became the BOSS. Who would have known that their couple was so "boring" and "common", just an ordinary little princess who liked skirts, jewelry, afternoon tea and balls, and her knight.
The most correct thing to do is for Xia Xifeng to tell Susan how dangerous the future will be, and that strength is the guarantee of everything.
But this person guided Susan to explore non-combat interests, take an auxiliary path, and was even willing to share his notes with Susan.
Xia Xifeng had no intention of accepting any disciples, nor did he know how to teach them. He figured that simply sharing his notes wouldn't mislead the students.
Qin Lang did not agree with Xia Xifeng's approach, but since he was lazy, he just let Xia Xifeng do whatever he wanted.
Susan's years of knot in her heart would not be immediately untied because of Xia Xifeng's words, but she did feel a lot more relaxed and decided to learn more knowledge in more areas.
Since fighting as a die-hard warrior won’t lead to any growth, it’s better to spend the wasted time and energy on other useful things.
Susan smiled again and enthusiastically introduced the history of the mine to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, becoming an excellent tour guide again.
Xia Xifeng said that he was most interested in the culture of worshiping gods. Since Susan already knew that Xia Xifeng had a good relationship with the Church of the Sun and the Church of the Silver Moon, she did not hide it and introduced to Xia Xifeng the secret history of the Silver Moon worship in Black Stone Town.
Legend has it that when Blackrock Town was first established, many accidents occurred because the miners were afraid of the darkness underground and suffered from great mental stress.
Later, Silver Moon appeared and said that the darkness underground was also a darkness that He needed to soothe, and that He would also grant the miners light and spiritual peace.
Silver Moon left behind an artifact, which was placed deep in the mines.
From then on, the miners were no longer afraid of the darkness and felt lonely when going down to the mines. They felt very peaceful and no accidents occurred due to mental stress.
The subsequent mayors of Blackrock Town all fulfilled their promise to Silver Moon - true peace does not lie in the gift of God, but in the kindness of mankind.
They love their town deeply, improve the treatment of miners, use the profits from mining to improve the lives of town residents, and provide relief to poor residents who have no source of income.
Many years have passed, the legend is no longer reliable, and no one knows where the so-called artifact has been lost, but the residents of Blackrock Town still love their hometown.
Even though the mines have been exhausted, they have never thought of leaving their hometown, but instead tried their best to keep their hometown prosperous.
When Susan talked about the history of Blackrock Town, her face turned redder.
She loves her hometown very much.
Lynn showed a look of longing and anticipation.
He was born into a prestigious aristocratic family in the Human Empire, but he decided to give up his inheritance rights and follow Susan to settle in Blackrock Town and devote his strength to it.
He really likes the warm atmosphere of this small town.
Xia Xifeng: [Qin Lang, a divine artifact...it must be this thing, right? Why didn't I hear it mentioned in the dungeon?]
Qin Lang: [Don’t ask me.] He doesn’t watch the plot.
Xia Xifeng frowned.
According to the routine, the purpose of the Outer Gods is the artifact, or to pollute Silver Moon through the artifact.
But if there is an artifact, it is impossible that there is no information about it in the game copy, and the undead NPC in the copy did not mention the appearance of the artifact.
The town of Blackstone was suddenly massacred during Susan and Lynn's wedding.
At that time, the end of the world had not yet arrived completely, and all major churches came to investigate the situation in Black Stone Town, but they could not find the murderer.
Soon, the day of hope fell. A tragedy in a small Black Rock town, and no one sought the truth anymore.
Xia Xifeng poked Pereira again and asked Pereira to ask the Day of Hope what the artifact was and what its function was.
Pereira had no choice but to hastily burn incense again. She didn't need to bathe, as she had already done so.
The day of hope still replied immediately, as if I had been waiting.
[I don’t know.]
Xia Xifeng took a deep breath.
So what do you know, old man?! Blackrock Town has been worshipping Silver Moon for nearly a thousand years, but you really don't have any memory of it?!
[There are so many places like this, it's hard to believe.]
Huh? You're still scratching your head? How can you, the sun, scratch your head?
Xia Xifeng asked Qin Lang: [After you reach level 200, can you go to the Divine Realm and beat up that sun?]
Qin Lang didn't answer.
Until his strength grows to the point where he can beat the Sun, he will never respond to any disrespectful words towards the Sun.
Didn’t you see Pereira and Leo’s shiny bald heads?
"When the mine closes, we'll hold a final secret Silver Moon ceremony inside," Susan said. "Friends of those favored by the Sun God should be eligible to participate. Do you want to go? I'll ask Mother."
Xia Xifeng immediately said, "Okay! Let's make the request in person; it'll be more formal this way."
Susan smiled and nodded: "Yeah." She could see that Xia Xifeng respected Yin Yue very much and was a loyal believer of Yin Yue like them.
Xia Xifeng tried hard to keep himself calm.
Perhaps he could detect something through the secret Silver Moon sacrifices passed down from generation to generation in Blackrock Town.
Damn Shuangri, we really can’t rely on them at all!
