Chapter 36, Part 1: "It's strange to conceal the Silver Moon faith."...
After finding a hotel, Xia Xifeng wanted to check in at the pub.
The tavern in the Western Fantasy World is a must-see attraction.
Although there is a tavern in Green Sand City, Xia Xifeng was too embarrassed to go to the dirtiest and messiest Adventurer's Tavern under Sur's disapproving gaze.
Moreover, the management of Green Sand City is very strict. Even the taverns on the bottom floor only sell inferior drinks, and accidents are not as frequent as in the game. Although he said he was embarrassed to go, Xia Xifeng still secretly took a few glances inside the tavern at the door.
In Blackrock Town, you should be able to find a dirty and messy adventurer's tavern with Western fantasy characteristics, right?
It would be fine if he just went there to take a photo, but to go in for a drink and a meal? Qin Lang felt sick at the thought.
A group of adventurers who haven't taken a bath for months are drinking in there. Just imagine how terrible it smells.
Xia Xifeng threatened Qin Lang: "If you don't go, I'll go alone and scare you to death if I encounter danger!"
Qin Lang: “???” Are you sick?!
Qin Lang quickly checked Xia Xifeng's chat history. As expected, this was a bad idea that Leo had given Xia Xifeng.
The source of this bad idea is Leo's favorite romance novel.
Although Qin Lang is usually too lazy to talk, it doesn't mean he won't curse.
He immediately started to scold Leo with his fingers flying.
Xia Xifeng is already crazy enough, can you make him even crazier?
Seeing Qin Lang's unpleasant expression, Xia Xifeng burst into laughter. He knew that Qin Lang would be furious when he found out where his words came from.
Qin Lang's endurance has gradually increased recently. He hasn't seen Qin Lang's defense broken for a long time, and he feels a little bored.
Qin Lang, who is on the verge of exploding, is the most interesting.
"Ouch." Xia Xifeng covered his head.
Qin Lang gave Xia Xifeng a pat on the head: "You can go, but finish your work first."
Xia Xifeng immediately lay face down on the wooden sofa in the guest room.
Don't want to work.
He is here for tourism, how can he work?
Xia Xifeng said sullenly, "Can you go alone?"
Qin Lang threatened: "I can go find a monster spawning spot by myself, and let you stay in the safest place and gain experience."
Xia Xifeng tilted his head and revealed his face: "Aren't you afraid that I'll get into danger in the city?"
Qin Lang said: "A good death. At worst, we will perish together."
Xia Xifeng: "..." Forget it, that's enough, I won't tease Qin Lang anymore. If Qin Lang gets really angry, it won't be fun anymore.
Xia Xifeng climbed up from the sofa and sat cross-legged, listlessly organizing the meeting draft.
He was just an ordinary college student who had not yet graduated. He was really nervous about suddenly discussing business with a big shot like the mayor.
Rub your hands together.
Qin Lang glanced at Xia Xifeng who was extremely excited.
If Xia Xifeng hadn't traveled through time, he would probably have taken the civil service exam or even gone to the western border areas to support the cause. He just liked these trivial matters.
Upon learning that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had arrived, the mayor of Black Stone Town immediately wanted to host a banquet for them.
Xia Xifeng refused.
"Black Rock Town is busy preparing for the celebration, so there's no need for a big banquet." Xia Xifeng said with a smile, "Just treat us to some Black Rock Town specialties. Just consider it a way to make friends."
The mayor of Blackrock Town is a human woman with gray hair and deep furrows between her eyebrows and eyes.
She smiled and acknowledged Xia Xifeng as her young friend, and invited Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang to dinner at her home.
She had wanted to introduce her only daughter to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang—not as a matchmaker, as her daughter already had a boyfriend. She simply wanted her daughter to meet more outstanding friends her own age.
When he learned that Qin Lang was already a "big professional", the mayor of Black Stone Town sighed inwardly and gave up the idea.
The player's character level is 50, which corresponds to the NPC's "elite professional"; the character level is 70, which corresponds to the NPC's "big professional"; the character level is 90, which corresponds to the NPC's "half-step legend", but players are accustomed to calling it "Grandmaster".
Once a player reaches level 100 for a single class, they become a single class legend. The remaining levels from 101 to 200 are all on the road to godhood.
Even if players only need to grind experience to reach level 200, the difference in experience points can reveal the huge difference between demigods and legends.
For ordinary people, "elite professionals" are the pinnacle, and they can become knight captains in major cities.
Leila, the captain of Green Sand City's defense, is just an elite knight.
The "big professionals" would be treated as guests of honor by noble lords from all over the country and invited to serve as their own offerings.
Xia Xifeng's aura is similar to Qin Lang's. The mayor of Black Stone Town guessed that both of them are already "big professionals."
Such a young master professional has a high chance of becoming a great master professional who reaches the level of a half-step legend in the future. The mayor of Blackrock Town suppressed the mild contempt he had felt for the two men due to their age.
When she looked Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang in the face, she reflected on herself and felt regretful.
Although Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were only pioneer knights, their knighthoods had been upgraded to "cities." In other words, they were now lords of a town, equal in status to her own. How could she treat them like juniors simply because of their age?
The mayor of Black Stone Town immediately adjusted his attitude and became less friendly and more respectful and cautious towards Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang.
Neither Xia Xifeng nor Qin Lang noticed the change in her attitude.
They themselves have no awareness that they are already noble lords. If the mayor of Blackrock Town wants to introduce his daughter and future son-in-law to them, and if they have similar personalities, there is no problem in becoming friends.
No matter where people are from, they always like to talk about serious matters at the dinner table.
Although the mayor of Black Stone Town and Xia Xifeng were bargaining, they both really wanted to make this deal, and the price Xia Xifeng asked for was also very reasonable.
In fact, before Xia Xifeng came, the envoys from the City of Hope had already reached a preliminary contract with the mayor of Blackrock Town, and only Xia Xifeng needed to sign it.
The two of them discussed it casually and reached a contract that satisfied both of them.
Xia Xifeng was extremely happy. From now on, he could travel without any burden.
Qin Lang was in a bad mood.
He had thought he could use his work to delay for a few days. Was he going to be forced to drink and dine in a tavern with an extremely foul smell tomorrow?
He had to look for spell scrolls that could block out odors and dirt.
After signing the contract, Xia Xifeng asked the mayor of Black Stone Town about the town’s famous attractions in a familiar manner.
"Can I visit the mine? The mine is about to be closed, and I'm curious about what it looks like inside." Xia Xifeng's eyes were shining, like a puppy begging for food. Even though the mayor of Black Stone Town kept telling herself that this was a lord of equal status with her, her heart softened.
The mayor of Blackrock Town said, "I'll find some free time to be your guide."
Xia Xifeng said, "The mayor is so busy, there's no need to trouble him. Just send us a guide. Qin Lang and I can protect ourselves."
The mayor of Blackrock Town thought that letting his daughter and future son-in-law serve as guides for the two men should not be considered as looking down on them.
She nodded: "Okay. I'll let my daughter be your guide."
The mayor of Blackstone Town introduced his daughter and future son-in-law.
The mayor of Blackrock Town's daughter and her future son-in-law are both warriors. The daughter is just a beginner, while the future son-in-law is already an elite professional. They met while attending the Human Empire's academy.
Xia Xifeng thought about the two people in the "Bloody Wedding Copy".
Although the daughter and son-in-law of the Blackrock Town mayor are the BOSSes of the "Bloody Wedding Dungeon", they will both go berserk when each other dies first, which shows that their feelings were very sincere when they were alive.
Those who are targeted by the outer gods should not be bad people.
Qin Lang originally thought that Xia Xifeng was obsessed with traveling and checking in, but when he heard him talk about the mine, he realized that Xia Xifeng was looking for clues about the "Bloody Wedding Copy".
Qin Lang had forgotten about this matter.
There are also mud shadow monsters in the Bloody Wedding dungeon. Since the mastermind behind the "Sun Valley dungeon" is Blood Moon, the mastermind behind the "Bloody Wedding dungeon" must also be Blood Moon.
The Blood Moon has been exposed before the gods, and it should not reappear before the apocalypse truly arrives. Therefore, the "bloody wedding" may not necessarily happen.
Qin Lang: [Do you think the "Bloody Wedding" will happen again?]
Xia Xifeng: [Regardless of whether it happened or not, the Outer Gods must have been preparing for the tragedy that occurred before the apocalypse for a long time. Even if they didn't launch the conspiracy in the end, it definitely existed.]
Qin Lang: [It will be dangerous.]
Xia Xifeng: [Don't worry, we're just visiting. If you encounter any problems, just call the boss for help. Before the mine closed, people were coming and going, and I haven't heard of any accidents.]
Qin Lang: [There is still a possibility of danger.]
Xia Xifeng hesitated.
Qin Lang: [Saving the world is impossible without any danger. Go.]
Xia Xifeng looked at Qin Lang, and Qin Lang's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Sure enough, although Qin Lang kept talking about danger, he really wanted to go.
Without monster spawning, Qin Lang must be very bored.
Alas, what’s the fun in killing monsters?
Although killing monsters is not fun, it is fun for Qin Lang to pick up materials by himself after killing the monsters.
Xia Xifeng was also a little looking forward to whether monsters would appear in the mine.
The two men agreed with the mayor of Blackrock Town to go to the mine on the morning of the third day.
On the intervening day, the two of them strolled around the streets and had a good night's rest.
Qin Lang used the excuse of having to get up early the next day to postpone going to the tavern for a few days.
Xia Xifeng said, "The more you don't want to go, the more I want to go. We will go sooner or later."
Qin Lang knew. But he could delay it any longer. He was asking Pereira for a potion to block out the odor.
On the morning of the third day, Black Stone Town's daughter and future son-in-law were already waiting at the hotel where they were staying.
The daughter of the mayor of Blackrock Town is called Susan, and the future son-in-law is called Lin En. These are very common names in the Western fantasy world, but they make Xia Xifeng feel very familiar.
The most troublesome thing about playing in a Western fantasy world is that I can never remember the names. Western names similar to Chinese ones are the best, and you can remember them as soon as you hear them.
As for their surnames, Xia Xifeng was too lazy to remember them.
Because he was too lazy to remember their last names, he immediately made two new friends by being very familiar with them.
We are all friends now, so there is no need to call each other by our last names!
Susan and Lynn were a little nervous due to the constant reminders from the mayor of Blackrock Town.
Although they were of the same age, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were not only great professionals but also noble lords. While they were both heirs to the Blackrock Town lordship, the status of an heir differed from that of an already established lord. Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had become lords as pioneer knights, which made them all the more respectable.
As soon as Xia Xifeng showed his bright smile that seemed to have no ulterior motives, the two people's restraint was dispelled.
Xia Xifeng casually chatted about a few interesting things that happened during his travels (in the game), and the two young people, who were not very sophisticated, immediately started laughing with Xia Xifeng.
As for Qin Lang, he still kept a straight face and pretended to be a stranger, too lazy to socialize.
After Xia Xifeng became closer to the young couple, he smiled and inquired about the situation. "I heard that mining is very dangerous, and miners always pray to the gods for protection before going down. Although we're not going to mine, do you want to go and pray as well?"
Susan nodded: "Okay. Let's go to Silver Moon Church!"
It was Yin Yue again. Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang exchanged a look that said, "As expected."
Xia Xifeng asked curiously, "I heard there are many churches in Blackrock Town, and Silver Moon Church isn't the main one. When you go mining, you only need to worship Silver Moon, not other gods?"
Susan was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed her tone: "We want both! Let's go to Yinyue first, it's the closest!"
Lin En had an indescribable look on his face. "Don't try to make amends. The more you try, the weirder it gets."
Lin En sighed and stopped Susan from making excuses. "Mr. Feng and Mr. Lang are distinguished guests from Green Sand City. They are good friends with the God-favored Ones of the Sun and Silver Moon. You've already let it slip. No need to make excuses. Just tell the truth... Ouch."
Susan stepped hard on Lynn.
She also realized that she was being stupid, but she could be stupid, but Lin En couldn't say she was stupid!
Susan blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, but this is a secret in Blackrock Town... Alas, I don't know why it has to be a secret. Our town has always quietly taken the Silver Moon God as its main faith. The Silver Moon God is a great deity, and many people believe in him. It's strange to hide it like this."
Although concealing the primary faith was Blackrock's founding motto, that was long ago, and even the mineral veins that once sustained Blackrock have dried up. Not only Susan, but the rest of the Blackrock residents didn't take the motto seriously, simply passing it on as a tradition.
Susan accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Xia Xifeng hurriedly said it was okay. They respected the traditions of Blackrock Town and visited every church along the way.
On the way, Xia Xifeng said to Qin Lang, "Yin Yue is a righteous deity with many followers. Black Stone Town is hiding their beliefs, and they must be protecting a secret. This secret may have even been forgotten by the mayor of Black Stone Town."
Qin Lang: [Go and see for yourself.] It seems there really are new monsters to fight in the mines this time.
