Chapter 56
Ghost!
As a game producer, even if this world is not necessarily equal to that world, Ye Bai has always felt that at least in the game, he has a clear idea of what the situation is like.
It was not until she saw this scene that she realized there was something she had never seen before.
Seeing that Ye Bai was obviously frightened, the human-shaped figure waved his hands and quickly spoke to comfort Ye Bai.
"Please don't be afraid. I'm not a ghost, and I really don't mean any harm."
It doesn't matter if you are an undead!
Ye Bai steadied herself. Even if a lich, undead knight or something like that appeared from behind Bai Shi, she wouldn't be so surprised.
What shocked Ye Bai the most about this human-shaped silhouette was that this form of existence was beyond the information she, a producer, knew.
Regarding the map of the Divine Realm, Ye Bai never had the same confidence that he had in all realms, because the expansion pack of "Broken Divine Court" was a work content that would be launched after the public beta.
Even as the chief producer of the game, the information Ye Bai had about the divine world before being frozen was only basic background settings.
Ye Bai knew the appearance, racial characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of various advanced races... but apart from the most basic main line of ethnic hegemony, he had not started designing other plots.
After setting up the worldview and placing these powerful ethnic groups with their own characteristics into the vast map of the divine realm, it is like setting up the stage but the performance has not yet begun.
Not to mention, there are differences between the holographic version of Wanjie and the Wanjie created by Ye Bai. The most intuitive difference is reflected in the intelligence of the NPCs. At present, Ye Bai does not think that they are any different from real people in terms of intelligence except that they are limited by the system's numerical values.
In the version produced by Ye Bai, the NPC behavior code that controls the divine world is different from that of the ordinary world and is more intelligent, not to mention the holographic version.
This kind of 'intelligence' is probably enough to allow the God Realm to evolve on its own without players.
Therefore, Ye Bai was completely clueless about what was happening in the divine realm at this moment. It was as if he was immersing himself in the "new version" of his imagination after it was completed by intelligence.
The strange and weird human figure in front of him was not in the game settings that Ye Bai knew, and was obviously the "completed" content.
After calming down, Ye Bai asked tentatively: "So... what are you?"
Seeing that Ye Bai had calmed down, the figure withdrew his hand and said helplessly, "A cursed person."
"A curse..."
Ye Bai pondered over what he said, his mind racing as he gained an important piece of information from this sentence: the one who could issue a curse must possess 'divinity'.
'Divine Creatures' are an identity that only appears in the divine realm. Their characteristic is that they must be related to powerful gods or demigods. They either possess their bloodline or have obtained divinity that was actively separated from these powerful beings.
Ye Bai directly guessed that the curse that could cause such a strange effect was caused by a god or a demigod.
And being able to curse at least one demigod-level expert, this person must be quite extraordinary...
"Then why were you cursed?" Ye Bai asked.
"I don't know." The figure seemed to know what Ye Bai wanted to ask, and explained politely again: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it intentionally, but my entire existence has been erased, including my name."
Ye Bai was shocked when he heard this... His entire existence was wiped out. How deep must the hatred be to cast such a curse!
"So what's your situation now?"
A person carved on stone is too weird no matter how you look at it, hundreds of times weirder than an undead monster.
The figure replied, "A curse has trapped me here, forcing me to exist only within a carrier of words. Only those who can read these words can see me. Originally, I couldn't communicate with you earlier, but I didn't expect you to learn the dragon language so quickly, so I took the liberty to come and disturb you."
Ye Bai was speechless after hearing this: "So if I can't learn the dragon language, I can't hear you speak?"
"Yes." The figure nodded. "Many creatures have come here over the years, but I have been unable to communicate with them."
There is actually such a situation...
This was Ye Bai's first time encountering such a strange thing, and he was also curious about this strange figure trapped in the text. He asked a series of questions: "So you are still trapped in this stone now? And you just said 'Ottophis', right? What does that mean?"
"Not entirely." After saying this, the strange figure's carving walked towards Bai Shi's side, and Ye Bai saw the human figure make a jumping motion.
The next moment, in Ye Bai's somewhat shocked eyes, the carved figure appeared on another white stone next to him.
"I can move between text carriers within a certain distance." After demonstrating this with his own body, the figure continued, "As for 'Ottophis,' it means swiftness in Dragon Language. I noticed you seemed to be struggling with a name, so I took the liberty of offering you a suggestion."
"I wanted to show that I had no ill intentions. I didn't expect to scare you. I'm really sorry." The strange figure apologized to Ye Bai politely again.
"You're welcome." Courtesy is always welcome. Seeing the other party's good attitude, Ye Bai slowly let go of his nervousness.
At present, it seems that the other party is a "two-dimensional" person in the physical sense, unable to jump out of the stone and affect her, a three-dimensional person.
Of course, just because she was no longer nervous didn't mean she was no longer wary of this strange humanoid.
"Can I sit over here?" the figure continued to ask, pointing to the stone next to the stone where he was resting, which was closest to the campfire.
Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, then nodded: "As you wish."
The strange human figure jumped again and landed on a white stone closest to the campfire.
Ye Bai was sitting on the other side of the campfire, facing him.
When the strange humanoid was moving around, Ye Bai paid special attention to the donkey. From its angle, it should be able to see the movement of the stone wall, but its eyelids were half drooped, so it only took a glance and did not have any special reaction.
This donkey was unusual. Ye Bai felt that it was quite friendly to her. Seeing that it had no special reaction to human figures, she felt more at ease.
The flames of the bonfire flickered. After a short silence, the two men spoke at the same time.
Figure: "Actually, I..."
Ye Bai: "I would like to ask..."
The two of them paused at the same time, and then seeing that Ye Bai didn't say anything, the figure still looked very polite: "You go first."
Ye Bai smiled slightly and successfully interrupted the spell!
From the moment the other party took the initiative to communicate, Ye Bai smelled the scent of a mission.
But she knew better than to admit that missions from the divine realm weren't easy to come by. This strange, humanoid curse likely came from at least a demigod, a character above level 80. If it involved a god, it would be a level 100 boss.
If I accept the task, I don’t know when I can complete it.
Although he has arrived in the realm of gods, Ye Bai is very aware of his own strength.
In the divine world, everything is based on the principle of "survival".
So when this mysterious NPC was about to start talking about the mission, Ye Bai interrupted him and, without any hesitation, took the initiative and asked, "I'm looking for the fabric of the Luozhi tribe. Do you have any clues?"
This NPC is cursed and has a mysterious origin. The higher the level of the NPC, the more game information they know, and you might be able to dig out information about the divine world from them.
Besides, it doesn’t matter even if we can’t dig it up. Anyway, this is the only creature in front of us that can communicate. It would be a waste not to ask.
The figure was slightly stunned, then pondered for a moment before saying, "If you need Luozhi Tribe fabric, I actually know of one nearby that might be available. Luozhi Tribe fabric is the most popular fabric on land. I know there are some dragon tribes in the south who might be wearing clothing made of this material, but they have now become undead, guarding the ancient dragon's treasure trove."
After a pause, he continued, "Regarding this treasure trove, if you are interested..."
"I don't."
Hearing this, Ye Bai interrupted again!
What a joke, is she able to get close to the dragon clan’s treasure house at her current level?
There was something wrong with this NPC! Ye Bai was very sensitive, and she could sense a familiar feeling in the other party's words - the feeling of empty promises.
As a master of empty promises, Ye Bai would never fall for such a trick!
If Ye Bai had refused a step later, a "Dragon Clan's Treasure House" mission would probably have popped up.
"Wait..." Ye Bai suddenly came to her senses. She looked at the strange humanoid figure: "The Dragon Clan's treasure house? Why is the Dragon Clan's treasure house guarded by members of the Dragon Clan? You said they are... Undead?"
There are many types of dragonborn, a vassal race composed of the bloodlines and worshippers of ancient dragons. They live beneath the Sky City and cannot even reach it. How could they be qualified to guard the dragon treasure vault? And they have become undead?
As a result, the strange figure's next words shocked Ye Bai on the spot:
"Don't you know? The ancient dragon race has been destroyed."
The Ancient Dragon... is destroyed?!
When seeing the dragon tomb falling, Ye Bai thought that the ancient dragon clan might have encountered a huge change that caused the tribe to migrate, or at least some branches remained, but he never thought that the outcome would be direct destruction.
This is one of the top races in the setting of the divine world, and in terms of individual strength, no one can match this ancient dragon!
So what has the divine realm evolved into now?
