Chapter 29 The legend from five hundred years ago
"Then what should we do? We have accepted all the tasks."
“It’s not necessary to do the mission after you accept it, and there is no penalty for failure anyway. Just give up. The degree of freedom in this game is so high that you don’t need to follow the mission process at all.
There are actually two ways to go about the current situation.
One is to believe the Ginkgo Fairy and take a gamble to rescue her. If it succeeds, there may be a very powerful reward. It may not be possible to directly unlock the legal profession, but if the Ginkgo Fairy is a bad guy, maybe There is no reward at all, and she will even kill him directly.
Even if she doesn't kill us, the villagers in the village may kill us, provided that the Ginkgo Fairy doesn't massacre the village.
And the difficulty of this task is definitely not low. If you fail to complete it, you will probably die.
The second step is to report this matter to the village chief Huang Shidao. Huang Shidao will definitely give us some rewards, but they will definitely not be as exaggerated as the Ginkgo Fairy promised.
It's probably just general equipment, skills, and monetary rewards. "
I wanted to become an immortal and asked: "Then which one should we choose?"
“Nonsense, of course I’ll choose the second option.
If it is an ordinary game, you can consider the first one. If you win the bet, you can take off.
But what we are playing is a death game. The biggest trap in playing this hard-core game is luck. Don’t gamble with your life. It’s useless even if you win ten times or a hundred times, because as long as you fail once, you will be dead. No more singing.
So our first priority is to demand stability. Let's go, let's go report to the village chief. "
I wanted to become a fairy but I was a little reluctant after hearing this, "But, but... what if what the Ginkgo Fairy said is true? What if she can really resurrect my eldest brother."
Xiao Jie was speechless. He had explained it so clearly. Why didn't this kid understand?
That's right, this guy is new to the world, and he probably hasn't experienced severe beatings from society yet. He's still relatively naive, maybe he's still a student.
"In this way, if you transfer 100,000 yuan to me, I have a way to directly turn 100,000 yuan into 10 million."
I wanted to become an immortal and didn't believe it, "Are you lying, Brother Suifeng? How can such an outrageous thing be true?"
Xiao Jie chuckled, "It's a bit outrageous, but what if it's true? Why not take a gamble? If you win, you can get 10 million, and if you lose, you only lose 100,000, so why not transfer Give me 100,000 yuan to try?”
I was silent for a moment and sighed, "I understand, let's go, let's go find the village chief."
Xiao Jie thought it was okay, not hopeless.
A few minutes later, the village chief’s house——
The two told the old village chief what happened.
Huang Shidao was shocked when he heard this: "What! This happened! I didn't expect that the legend five hundred years ago turned out to be true..."
The old village chief had a look of shock and reminiscence on his face. Xiao Jie thought to himself that he had indeed unearthed a big secret.
"Excuse me, husband, what is going on?"
"Well, it all started five hundred years ago. There is a legend passed down from generation to generation in Ginkgo Village. It is said that an immortal came to this valley five hundred years ago. He told the village chief at the time that the world was about to be transformed. When a disaster strikes, if you want to protect your neighbors from disaster, you can only do things according to his methods.
He planted a ginkgo tree in the village and said that the ginkgo tree was a fairy seed brought down from the sky. When it grows up, it can protect the small area of Ginkgo Village. When a disaster strikes, it can protect the neighboring areas. Yu.
However, this ginkgo tree was separated from the environment of the fairy world and was contaminated by the turbid air of the mortal world. It will definitely turn into a scourge of fairies in a hundred years. Therefore, it was sealed with a charm to prevent it from escaping, and the villagers guarded it day and night.
A few years after the immortal left, a great disaster indeed occurred in the world. The gods fell, all things withered, people lost their souls and turned into soulless zombies, and beasts lost their wisdom and turned into monsters and demons. Villages and towns everywhere were destroyed in all likelihood.
Thanks to the protection of this fairy tree, our Ginkgo Village has retained a trace of vitality.
It has been hundreds of years now.
The fairy they met in their dreams must be the monster transformed by Ginkgo, trying to escape the trap set by the seal.
You two must not believe that monster's lies and make a big mistake. "
After hearing this, Xiao Jie said in his heart that it was like that. What the Ginkgo Fairy said was not completely a lie. It really came from heaven.
However, the rewards she promised were obviously nonsense. She was just a tree demon, and she was not an immortal herself. How could she help herself become an immortal?
If she were to be released, the village would most likely be massacred.
The old village chief added: "The ginkgo tree on the mountain must be a clone of the ginkgo tree in the village, used as a way to survive. If this tree demon breaks the seal, our Ginkgo Village will be in disaster. It is commendable that a strong man can report this matter to me."
Xiao Jie said: "That's it! What should we do next?"
I want to become a fairy but I hesitate to speak.
The old village chief smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Now that we know its plan, it will be easier to handle. All we need to do is cut down the ginkgo tree on the back mountain. Are the two warriors willing to go? If it can be done This matter must be repaid with heavy rewards.
Since the ginkgo tree is a derivative catalyzed by the spiritual power of the tree demon, it will definitely be able to collect some top-quality materials. If you two can bring the materials back, the old man also has some skills in making weapons, and can help you two. Make a magic weapon each.
System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [Old Village Chief’s Asking for Help].
Task description: The old village chief tells you the origin of the Ginkgo Fairy, and asks you two to cut down the tree demon spawn of the Ginkgo tree to avoid future troubles.
Mission goal: Kill the tree demon spawn.
Mission reward: 1,000 copper coins, wood attribute weapon × 1.
Magic weapon! This reward is really good, but...
Xiao Jie looked at himself and I, and thought that it would be a bit difficult for the two of us, one at the first level and the other at the second level, to do a monster mission.
"Old man, I wonder if this tree demon spawn is dangerous?"
"Don't worry, it's just a puppet derived from the roots of the tree demon. It's not even a clone. It has some demon power at most. It's not much different from an ordinary tree. The two of you can fight.
If you are not confident enough in your own strength, I can also send a handwritten letter to you and send a few militiamen to accompany you. However, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the militiamen must be rewarded for participating in the war. I am afraid that the remuneration of the two will be discounted. .
Of course, if the two of you are really unwilling to take this risk, I can also let Captain Iron take charge of the matter. It is very valuable for the two of you to provide this information, and you will be rewarded heavily afterwards, but this magic weapon may be..."
A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
Option 1, the old village chief doesn’t need to bother, we are enough for this matter.
Option 2: The old village chief had better send a few militiamen to go with me, just in case.
Option 3: The two of us have tried our best on this matter. Since the matter is serious, the old village chief should send Captain Iron to lead his people to handle it.
