Chapter 167 What is that?
"Hello, stranger, I'm Bill. If you don't mind, I can give you a brief introduction to this island."
"Thank you for your kindness, Bill. I'm Hill, and this is my companion, Joem."
Avis also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking his hand gently.
The physical fitness is average, the highest is only level two.
"Okay, Hill, nice name."
After shaking hands with Anvis, Bill nodded.
"I think you can see that this island is unusual. There is a strange curse power that permeates the wilderness of this island.
That's not without reason. According to the word of mouth of the elders on the island, in ancient times, this island was abandoned by the ancient gods."
As he spoke, the young and cheerful sailor raised his strong arms and pressed his chest.
"'The God sealed the shadow of His dark side here, tore this island off the mainland, and threw it into the ocean shrouded in endless fog.'
It is said that when night falls, his shadow will still wake up from his slumber and wander among the ancient mountains of the island. And with his indescribable eyes, he will patrol the dark jungles and wilderness of the island. "
"Once you are watched by the ancient gods, the erosion of terror will fill your mind, causing your body to undergo abominable changes and completely devouring your rationality."
“The earliest ancestors were stranded on this island after a shipwreck, but due to the strong curse power of the island, most people soon went completely crazy.
The remaining survivors, who were more determined, prayed to God in despair.
The merciful ancient god [Rai] heard the prayer and began to feel pity for the people on the island. "
“So, he descended the temple and blessed the land at the edge of the island, making it fertile and invisible to the sight of the ancient gods.
The people who survived built a town around the temple of Rai. This is the place blessed by God, 'Lavanlais', which is the town in front of you.
Only under the glorious protection of the Temple of Rai can we escape the terrible curse of the ancient gods. "
As he spoke, Bill nodded at the homeless man with a look of pity on his face.
"See that poor fellow? He became like this because he failed to return to the shelter of the Rai Temple in town before nightfall."
“Nighttime is when the ancient god’s curse is most active, and a large number of the ancient god’s monsters will go out to hunt for food.
The poor man couldn't return to the town, so he had to find a shelter in the wilderness outside and hid there for a night, but he was still corroded by the curse and became like this the next day. "
"So, outsider, no matter what you are here for, you must remember to return to the city before nightfall!"
As he spoke, Bill smiled, took a step forward, and walked towards the town with Avis.
“Come with me, I will take you around this town.” . ….….The scenery in the town of Lavanlais is just like those ancient towns in the ancient magic empire.
After entering this ancient port town, Avis could clearly feel that the environment here seemed to be shrouded in an extremely peaceful force field.
This force field blocked the influence of the chaotic force field in the wilderness of the island, preventing it from eroding the people in the city.
The flat road is paved with grayish-white gravel. Various small shops are open on the street. The signs at the door of the shops have begun to turn yellow and peel off due to years of disrepair.
"Go straight along this street. The largest building on the roadside is a huge rock building that is nearly twice as tall as the other buildings. It is the largest inn and tavern in this town, the Sleeping Siren."
If you need a room, or need some information, that's the place to go."
Looking in the direction Bill pointed, Avis saw from afar a large blue-gray rock building that stood out among the low buildings on the roadside.
"By the way, do you have the common currency here?"
Speaking of hotels, Bill seemed to suddenly think of something.
"What's common here?"
Anvis asked back.
"Black copper coins, silver gold coins, platinum coins. All the mainstream currencies that have been passed down since ancient times."
Bill explained.
Avis raised his right hand from under his cloak, where there were several silver and gold coins.
"Yes, that's it."
Nodding, Bill glanced at Avis.
"And if you walk along this avenue to the end, you will see a hill in the center of the town. The Rai Temple is located on that hill..."
"Thank you for your introduction and explanation, Bill. That's enough."
As he spoke, Avis suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and his expression paused slightly.
"Take these and consider it as a few drinks from me."
Then, he smiled and handed several silver and gold coins in his hand to Bill very naturally.
"Well, Mr. Hill, thank you for your generosity. Goodbye!"
Bill's eyes lit up and he nodded happily. After taking the silver and gold coins, he returned towards the dock with a smile on his face.
The value of silver and gold coins is still very high, and these few coins are enough for his drinking expenses for more than a month.
Looking at his receding back, Avis frowned slightly.
He always felt that there was something vaguely off about Bill, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Sir Joum, is there something wrong with him?"
"He is basically in good condition, Lord Anvis. However, the city's protective forces may not be as safe as he thinks. Or, he may have traveled deep into the wilderness of the island recently."
Joem, who had remained silent the whole time, began to explain.
"There is a faint, strange, chaotic, corrosive force on his body. That should be what he called the 'curse' of the island wilderness."
"Is that so?"
Anvis nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.
At this time, he was more interested in another thing.
"So, Mr. Joum, what is that black ball that appeared in the alley?"
Just now, when talking to Bill, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a pitch-black oval sphere suddenly appeared out of thin air in a small alley on the side of the road.
What is that? "Black ball?"
Joem looked at the completely empty alley that Avis pointed to with some confusion.
"Sir Anvis, where is the black ball you mentioned?"
"Can't you see, Joum?"
Avis was also stunned.
After thinking for a while, he took Joem and walked over cautiously.
Swoosh——
Before Avis could get close, the black ball suddenly turned into a female nature elf! ?
Anvis stopped immediately and took a step back without leaving a trace.
Is this a player?
That’s right, considering the time, the first public beta for players should have started.
Swoosh——
The nature elves suddenly turned into dark elves.
Swoosh——
The dark elves became female dwarves again.
Avis: “…”
To be honest, as an NPC, watching this scene still feels quite weird.
