Chapter 2 The Forbidden Seed


Chapter 2 The Forbidden Seed

When the background NPC turned into himself, Luo Xiu felt bad.

He began to try to restore the entire incident from the memory of his previous life.

"NPC Luo Xiu" is not a key figure in the world of "God's Destiny", and is not even an interactive NPC.

Before the arrival of the 1.0 version for players, "Luo Xiu" had long been dead and would only live in the specialty introduction for players to remember. He didn't even deserve a name in the introduction, which was miserable.

Luo Xiu thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember any scenes related to "Luo Xiu" after the game version 1.0 was launched.

However, he did find a clue from the background of "Morning Town" where he was.

In Luo Xiu's impression, by the time he officially entered version 1.0 of "God's Destiny", "Morning Town" had disappeared from the map.

Instead it was called "Twilight Town".

The scene introduction of Twilight Town is as follows:

[In a town that was once bloodbathed by the evil association "Blood of Thorns", the "morning light" has faded away, leaving only the spirits of the dead wailing...

The haze of resentment lasts forever, and the dusk of chilling never ends...]

Judging from its introduction and the corresponding geographical location in my impression, "Morning Town" is the predecessor of "Twilight Town", a place where necromancy monsters are constantly refreshed in the game.

As a hardcore player, Luo Xiu clearly remembers that in the "The Beginning of the Twilight Town Disaster" collected in his previous life, there is a record of the initial events of the "evil association's bloodbath of Dawn Town"——

The "Blood Invasion" occurred on July 18, 767 in the Apocalypse Calendar. Two blood disciples sneaked in at midnight as the beginning of the nightmare.

The reason why I remember this day so clearly is because July 18th was also Luo Xiu’s birthday in his previous life.

With the word "danger" on his mind, Luo Xiu frowned tightly.

"There's still time, it's not a big problem..."

Luo Xiu comforted himself while looking at the calendar on the window sill. Fortunately, the original person had always had the habit of marking, so Luo Xiu could see today's date at a glance.

Counting the circles to the end, Luo Xiu was stunned.

The marked date shows that this day is July 18, 767 in the Apocalypse Calendar!
"..." Luo Xiu was speechless and choked.

"It means...fuck me!
The evil association...will invade tonight?!"

The crisis was imminent. Luo Xiu frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and began to think deeply.

In his previous life, as a master player who grasped plot intensity, "Twilight Town" left a very deep impression on Luo Xiu.

Therefore, Luo Xiu has a general understanding of the series of invasion processes after "Blood of Thorns".

Morningside Town was not bulldozed by evil associations, but was turned into ruins after rounds of looting and massacre.

At first, the "Blood of Thorns" invaded Dawn Town to hunt down a member of an evil society who had defected here.

But inadvertently, "Blood of Thorns" discovered a certain "ancient existence" that was sleeping and sealed at the bottom of Dawn Town.

As a result, the goal of "Blood of Thorns" changed, and they prepared to sacrifice by harvesting souls to break the ancient seal of Dawn Town——

- Awaken it and enslave it!
The two blood disciples sent by "Blood of Thorns" tonight are the vanguards to collect intelligence.

After recalling the background of the incident, Luo Xiu began to outline the prototype of the plan.

He felt that he could still save something.

At the beginning of formulating the plan, Luo Xiu had to go out first to make necessary purchases.

When leaving the Glory Church, Luo Xiu did not wear the priest's clothes, but only wore a cotton scarf and a white hood.

No one in Chenxi Town seemed to know him, and Luo Xiu felt at ease, just walking around and taking in the sights.

The architectural style of Chenxi Town is similar to the bohemian pastoral style. The buildings of various colors are mixed and matched like a palette. The simplicity, roughness and romantic atmosphere are intertwined, giving people a bright vision of a mixture of classical and free art. feel.

Looking at the vibrant scene in front of him, it was really hard for Luo Xiu to associate himself with the "Twilight Town" where ruins and walking corpses were everywhere...

And in a side alley in Chenxi Town, in an inconspicuous corner, a deserted store seemed to be huddled in the shadows.

The broken wooden signboard of "Bahrain Blacksmith Shop" swayed in the wind, as if it would be blown away in the next second.

"——Tuk, Tuk, Tuk."

Three faint knocks on the door sounded.

After a while, the broken wooden door swung open with a creak, and an old man with oily black stains on his face, sparse hair roots filled with red and gray dust, and wrinkles like ravines poked his head out of the crack in the door.

It seemed that because the work at hand was interrupted, the old man's expression was quite impatient until he saw that the visitor was a guest wearing a scarf and a white hood with only two eyes exposed. The old man's expression was surprised for a moment, and then It returned to normal.

"...What do you want...do you have 'permission'?...Ahem." The old man opened the door and threw out a word of greeting.

This old man is the owner of this blacksmith shop, old blacksmith Balin.

The Nolan Empire has promulgated corresponding laws to restrict the large-scale circulation of certain weapons and firearms on the market. When purchasing certain obviously threatening weapons, you need to show a "possession permit" certificate issued by the official residence.

Luo Xiu naturally did not have such a thing. Although relying on the "Glory Church" could indeed obtain the qualifications to purchase certain dangerous weapons, out of caution, Luo Xiu did not want to leave any clues about his identity.

Luo Xiu nodded, but did not take out his ID. He just said in a low voice:

"I know the rules, I'll pay double."

Although he couldn't see the guest's face clearly, Old Balin could hear the voice of a young man.

He took a deep look at Luo Xiu and didn't say anything. He just nodded imperceptibly, turned his body to one side, and let Luo Xiu enter the blacksmith shop.

Entering the blacksmith shop, Luo Xiu felt countless dust flying towards him. Resisting the urge to sneeze, Luo Xiu quickly scanned the shop with his eyes.

The interior of the blacksmith shop is as dirty as old Balin's hair.

There are various forged weapons placed on the wall shelves. These are the proud works of Old Balin. The various gems, magic crystals and complex lines that flow like liquids are inlaid on them, allowing Luo Xiu to recognize them at a glance. These things are worth a lot of money.

Although they are gorgeously decorated, these weapons still belong to the category of ordinary weapons and cannot reach the level of "extraordinary weapons".

But even so, Luo Xiu was very confident about his wallet at this time. Without showing "permission" and having to pay double the price, he only locked in a few targets to purchase in the plan.

After Luo Xiucai bought some weapons, potions and materials, he placed these things on the wooden table, while Old Balin packed them into a package.

"Is that all?"

Old Balin held up a dry pipe and muttered, "Three Nolan gold coins. The limited-purchase items are twice the price. There are five gold coins and one silver coin in total."

...Luo Xiu’s mouth twitched.

"These are enough." Luo Xiu took out the white cloth-sealed wallet from his waist with some pain, took out six gold coins and handed them to the old blacksmith: "You keep them."

Afterwards, Luo Xiu obediently waited for the change.

Balin took the gold coins, was silent for a while, and pushed one of them back.

"You know the rules, I'll make it cheaper for you."

Is this a charity from Old Bahrain...? Luo Xiu nodded and took back a Nolan gold coin.

Before leaving, Luo Xiu glanced at Old Balin again. He had retreated into the inner room and continued to tinker with the semi-finished product of Drum Head.

Only Luo Xiu knew that this ordinary-looking old blacksmith was actually an extraordinary person with the fourth level of [Ku Tu] destiny.

When buying things here, you don’t have to worry about being traced - Luo Xiu didn’t leave any clues about his identity, and no one in Chenxi Town could force a fourth-level extraordinary person to get any information about the customer from Old Balin. intelligence.

Therefore, in the so-called "grey zone", the "Bahrain Blacksmith Shop" is very famous. Even after Dawn Town was bloodbathed into Dusk Town, old Bahrain would still forge equipment here and sell it to the adventurers who came here.

In the disaster in Dawn Town caused by the "Blood of Thorns", only Bahrain survived.

Dawn Town, Glorious Church.

Luo Xiu returned to his room, lay on the floor and unpacked his bag, letting the contents spread out like a sand tower.

Two short fire guns, a black steel dagger, a copper forged ring...

There are also two bottles of mana potion, a bottle of life potion, some silver forging tablets, two gray wolf skins...

These things were all prepared by Luo Xiu to deal with the blood disciples of the "Blood of Thorns".

The incoming enemies are two extraordinary beings with the second destiny of [Red Lotus], which is quite dangerous for Luo Xiu, who has not yet been promoted to extraordinary.

But along with the danger, there are also huge benefits! Kill them and you can get a lot of experience and valuable trophies. This will be the "first pot of gold" in Luo Xiu's extraordinary career!
Now that he has decided not to sit still and wait for death, Luo Xiu is also ready to face these cultists.

Escape cannot solve the problem from the root cause, and this is not Luo Xiu's style. At this time, "tactical retreat" will do more harm than good.

If Novice Village is destroyed, he will also lose an important base. Regardless of interests or reasons, Luo Xiu will try his best to avoid the worst outcome.

And the situation has not deteriorated to the point where it is completely irreversible. At worst, old Bahrain will still take the blame.

As a former ashes player, Luo Xiu's heart began to boil.

——Isn’t it just an evil association? Let’s dismantle it!

Luo Xiu's eyes were filled with sparkle.
