Chapter 394

"Ah ~ comfortable."

"Woo woo woo ~"

A man and a dog were soaking in the hot spring and groaned happily at the same time.

Yilin never thought that soaking in the hot spring in the game could bring such enjoyment as soul sublimation.

It's so comfortable.

The hometown of fire source was originally famous for hot springs.

It is adjacent to active volcanoes and rich in hot springs. Logically, there is nothing wrong with it.

The town of fire also has another easy to understand name.

——Hot Spring Township.

An endless stream of spring water flows into the pool along the channel.

Wang Tiandi washed away the dust and dirt and changed back from "earth dog" to Wang Tiandi.

After learning that Yilin is a serious "big engineer", Li Lei and Han Meimei directly gave full VIP treatment and took Yilin and Wang Tiandi to the top hot spring hotel in the village, with indoor hot spring, buffet luxury meal, couple suite and massage bath.

Although Yilin and Gouzi are not lovers or other special relationships.

But when this kind of comfortable enjoyment, Yilin was too lazy to care about these details.

After a good bath with Gouzi, Yilin took off the dirty engineer's robe with little durability and changed into the complete set of equipment attached to the hot spring hotel.

……

[fire source bathrobe]

[fire source belt]

[fire source clogs]

……

Although these three piece sets are only rare "d" equipment, they can not only significantly change the appearance, but also reduce the "heat" slightly.

No, when Yilin and Gouzi put on the "bathrobe three piece set", they instantly felt that the air around them was much fresher.

you 're right.

Dog son also put on his bathrobe

I don't know why. Looking at the dog standing straight on his hind legs, his claws pulling his belt around his waist, he smiled wantonly and looked like a scum dog without any sense of violation.

In the dog's smile, with three points of fatigue, three points of free and easy, three points of wanton, and one point of looming meaning, this is a male dog who has just finished the big sword!

The village has a unique architectural style.

Stepping on the wooden floor, it creaks. The walls of the room are hung with unique calligraphy and paintings in the game world, with ancient customs and rhymes everywhere.

The eaves outside the house are very wide, like an umbrella, isolating the ashes falling from the sky. Yilin wrapped in his bathrobe and looked out through the paper window. The falling volcanic ash was like black rain, adding a bit of desolate and dilapidated flavor to the village.

But this kind of taste seems to Yilin, but it has a different flavor. The hot spring in the house steams up, which is quite opposite to the dilapidated scenery outside. The house is like two worlds, which brings a strong contrast to Yilin.

Yilin calls out the two mother spirits.

Haven't seen for a long time, Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi found that there was a hot spring in the house, so yueque jumped up, pulled up the curtain and rustled in the hot spring.

Yilin can't imagine how the mother spirit took a bath in the hot spring.

But they're happy.

Yilin looked at the rising fetter value of miso and was very satisfied.

"You soak first and I'll go out for a walk."

On the wooden frame beside the door, a row of paper umbrellas folded neatly stood neatly. The paper umbrella is opened and painted with messy "flame" patterns. It sells very well.

Besides, it also provides [ash mask] free of charge.

[dust mask] is also a piece of equipment.

Equipment in the jewelry bar.

Simple effect: provide fresh ashless air.

Yilin left the dog and mother spirit in the luxury suite.

He was alone, stepping on wooden clogs, holding a paper umbrella, wearing an ash mask and walking slowly in the vast ashes.

In the village, every passer-by walked in the village, holding paper umbrellas and wearing masks. He couldn't tell who was who.

Yilin is walking on the road. Others don't know whether Yilin is a passer-by or a local, so Yilin easily sneaks into the village.

The village is quiet.

Occasionally, pedestrians pass by in a hurry, and they will not chat or chat up on the road. The villagers quickly walked past Yilin and didn't even look at Yilin, a strange man walking around the village in bathrobes.

Although the sparrow in the hometown of fire is small, it has all kinds of internal organs.

Props shop, weapons shop, armor shop, blacksmith shop.

Passing by a shop that no one cares about, Yilin regained the feeling of "I'm still in the game".

Yilin walked around the village and memorized the structure of the village in a moment.

In the north of the fire source town, there is a winding stone step, with beams and door posts made of mahogany at an interval of about three meters. From a distance, the stone steps and mahogany door beams look like a giant dragon entrenched in the village. A solemn and solemn shrine painted with red wall paint stands quietly on the high slope at the end of the stone steps, just like the dragon head of the red dragon, looming with awe inspiring and inviolable power.

Yilin squinted and stared at the shrine bathed in ashes, as if thinking.

At the entrance of the stone steps, guards similar to Han Meimei and Li Lei are guarding. At present, Yilin has not triggered any task, and it is not easy to directly sneak into the shrine on the high slope.

If something should not be triggered, wouldn't it be like throwing stones at feet?

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"Hoo! Hoo - Hoo! Hoo!"

Yilin walked around the village and prepared to go back to the hot spring hotel. When he passed the blacksmith's shop, there was a clear sound of beating iron and a hula inspired by the bellows.

"Wait, this iron beating rhythm..."

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The corner of Yi Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

He didn't care much when he passed by just now.

But now I passed by again. The rhythmic sound coincided with the sound of beating iron in my memory.

When his "question mark divine sword" was re forged in Labu Town, Yilin listened to the sound of iron for hours outside the door.

"Can't it be so coincidence?" Irene pushed the door in.

“……”

Really!

In the dimly lit room, a figure with a bare arm was swinging a big hammer and hitting the red embryo one after another, with sparks splashing everywhere. The sweat beads on the blacksmith's body are crystal clear and reflect a glimmer against the Mars.

It's Gran blacksmith.

Why is he here?

Yilin stepped down.

He reacted quickly.

He sneaked into this village under the title of [honorary guest engineer].

The false rumor that "the brave are the bad guys" is spreading rampantly in the village.

And Gran blacksmith knows who he is.

In case you recognize it

incorrect.

Yilin touched the ash mask on his face.

The whole face was so covered that he didn't even show any skin. He could recognize it. It was really a ghost.

Yilin breathed a sigh of relief, and the stopped steps began to step back roundly, ready to come and go quietly when nothing happened, without taking any dust.

Although he still has a task of [recovery road of unknown divine sword], at this time, his [holy blood] has not been collected. There is no need to show his identity so early. It's better to flash first.

"It's you."

Elaine didn't have time to get out of the way.

Grange blacksmith's action of striking iron suddenly stopped.

In the light of the fire, he slowly turned his head, and his face full of stories was as indifferent as ever.

……

……

The blacksmith's door was closed.

The house is hot and dry.

But compared with the outside, it seems nothing.

Yilin sat opposite the blacksmith Ge Lang, but took off the fire mask and sighed: "how can you recognize me when I'm dressed like this?"

"It doesn't matter."

It seems that it is very difficult to get information from the silent blacksmith grange.

Yilin thought for a moment and thought of the architectural style of the fire source town and the strange layout of more than one blacksmith shop. Yilin thought of a possibility.

"Is this your hometown?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing squatting in Labu town?"

"Wait."

"Wait for what?"

The blacksmith was silent for a moment and shook his head.

You're so strong.

Yilin firmly believes that there must be a special task for this eccentric NPC.

This is indeed the hometown of glang blacksmith.

In addition to being famous for hot springs, the town of fire seems to have many blacksmith shops. Everyone is a good blacksmith.

"By the way, where are they?"

Yilin finally remembered his former teammates.

"In Poseidon."

"The giant beast of water, Poseidon?" Yilin bowed his head and meditated.

The two "navigation pointers" given by Homeros were poros and aurora.

Poros's navigation pointer is on Ning's right.

As for Poseidon

"The giant beast of water is under the potential cloud sea?"

After Yilin figured it out, she looked surprised.

"Yes."

"I see."

Elaine understood.

No wonder the little fat man and the blacksmith were safe after jumping into the sea that day. It happened that I met Poseidon passing by.

"By the way, one more thing."

He was chased and killed by a floating boat all the way before and fled in a hurry, so that Yu Yilin always forgot to recast the question mark divine sword. Now that he has been recognized by blacksmith Ge Lang through the mask, Yilin can't come in vain. Brush the task progress again.

"It was agreed before."

The blood drop of the saint is one word different from the [blood of the saint] in the task requirements. Yilin knows it can't be done, but it's always harmless to try.

Seeing that a drop of non condensable blood in the small bottle in Yilin's hand, Ge Lang blacksmith's turbid eyes lit up slightly and looked at the "blood drop" in the small bottle directly. After observing with strange eyes for a moment, blacksmith Ge Lang shook his head again: "not enough."

"Ding!"

[main task: the road to recovery of the unknown sword! Task objectives updated.]

[current goal: collect complete "blood of the Holy One".]

[current progress: 14.]

[task difficulty: SSS]

[task time limit: none.]

[task reward: unknown.]

"OK."

In fact, if the Sao Bao player hadn't been crazy, his main task would have been updated. But if you think about it carefully, updating later and earlier will have no impact on the completion of the task.

"In other words, there are four 'holy blood drops' in the world. It is estimated that they are inseparable from the Holy See."

When Yilin was thinking about it, Gran blacksmith suddenly changed the topic.

"Are you looking for 'six evil generals'?"

Yilin raised his head in surprise and looked at the blacksmith Ge Lang. Unfortunately, blacksmith Ge Lang, the NPC's man, set too much force, and his expression remained unchanged. He couldn't see any strange emotions on his face.

"Yes, but how do you know?"

"It doesn't matter," blacksmith Ge Lang didn't intend to explain Yilin's doubts at all. After ten seconds of silence, he resumed the topic: "go find the 'witch'."

"Shrine?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Yilin nodded and turned to leave.

In the dark, blacksmith Grange whispered again, as if he were talking to himself.

"It's over."

At this time, Yilin didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

……

……

In order to avoid misunderstanding that he was a brave man, Yilin left Wang Tiandi in the hot spring hotel alone. After saying goodbye to the blacksmith Ge Lang, he came to the stone steps leading to the shrine.

"Stop!"

No accident, Yilin was stopped again.

Two long guns crossed in front of Yilin.

"Courtesy before soldiers."

Yilin sighed lightly. If this was not the hometown of glang blacksmith, and if Yilin's task of "recasting the divine sword" fell on glang blacksmith, Yilin would have slipped in in a more straightforward way. How could he be stopped here.

Gran blacksmith's thin noodles still need to be given.

If Gran blacksmith gets angry and doesn't finish the task for him, there will be some trouble.

Yilin has long found that NPCs in the game world are very moody. They turn their faces when they say they turn their faces. They become red in seconds. What happens, they can turn green and become friendly NPCs in the twinkling of an eye.

"During the 'fire god sacrifice', the witch didn't see anyone."

The two guards who stopped Yilin were just children of lv30. They could not pose a threat in terms of force.

"Fire sacrifice?"

Yilin suddenly smelled the smell of the task.

No wonder Gran blacksmith asked him to find the witch.

Yilin pretended to leave, but in an unnoticed corner, he started his skills, turned into a thin shadow, and swaggered past between the two guards again.

Hum, where he was stopped, he had to go in.

Following the rapid movement of the stone steps, Yilin soon arrived at the shrine in the hometown of fire.

There were no guards around the shrine.

"It seems that this witch thinks that the two guards at the door are enough to stop anyone."

Yilin chuckled, and the perception was released. With him as the center, everything within a radius of 30 meters was presented in Yilin's "perception" in another way.

"There are only two people inside."

"An old woman, a young woman."

"Who is the witch?"

In the shadow state, Yilin easily enters the shrine.

In the shrine, burning incense, rich but not pungent.

Indoors, a young woman wearing a red and white ancient witch robe was kneeling in front of a ferocious Fire Dragon Statue and sitting behind the door.

From the point of view of Yilin, the young woman's black hair as soft as silk and satin fell freely, with a length as long as her waist. The slender waist was tied around her waist to outline slim lines.

The old woman in Yilin's perception sat on a low chair in the corner of the shrine, closed her eyes and lowered her head, breathing gently, like sleeping in the past.

At the old woman's feet, there was a small carving knife with dried blood on it.

Whose blood?

Is this old woman... A guard?

Yilin frowned, but there was no answer, so he could only continue to observe.

On the weapon rack in front of the fire dragon sculpture, there is a simple long bow with an arrow bag leaning against the side.

"Bow?"

As an elite player, Yilin has long been used to searching for valuable treasures after entering the house. This simple bow fell into Yilin's sight for the first time.

This seems to be a special weapon not sold in stores.

Can you sell it?

Is it valuable?

It can't be "divine sword"?

After three quick self-questions, Yilin couldn't get the answer for the time being. He could only look at the beautiful back again.

[Fire witch · Platycodon grandiflorum]

【Lv70】

It's a green NPC.

"Huh?"

Right now.

Witch Kikyo still turned her back to Yilin. After kneeling down deeply to the ferocious fire dragon in front of her, she slowly got up and walked to the long bow on the weapon rack.

After Kikyo moved, Yilin suddenly found that the original green name turned yellow in the blink of an eye.

The Yellow name means neutrality.

"Come out."

When Yilin noticed that the name of [Fire witch · Kikyo] turned yellow, Kikyo had quickly carried the long bow on his back, with an arrow between his green fingers.

"Oh? It's such an expansion."

Yilin also calmly emerged from the shadow and walked out of the shadow slowly.

After all, the other party has only LV70.

Yilin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this witch could detect his existence that launched [shadow following] and [shadow killing] at the same time. But when Yilin noticed that when he appeared, Kikyo's eyes changed the focal length slightly, he knew it in his heart.

It turns out that the other party is not really aware of his specific position, but aware of "someone".

"Who are you?"

Kikyo slowly retreated with one foot, held the long bow with his right hand, and assumed the posture of attacking at any time.

Yilin spread out his hands and indicated that he had no weapons on his hands. At the same time, he flashed the title [Honorary Visiting engineer] and smiled kindly: "don't worry, I'm a 'big engineer' from the University of engineers. I'm entrusted to solve your troubles."

"Who?"

The five senses of Platycodon grandiflorum can't be said to be amazing. But when mixed with this white face, it makes people feel very comfortable. After Kikyo put on a fighting posture, his expression could not see anger, consternation, doubt and other emotions. Instead, it was like a pool of clear water, quiet and peaceful, which made it difficult to have the idea of fighting against her.

"Goran."

"Is that him?"

It's really useful to show off the name of Gran blacksmith. Kikyo's head turned green again. She was a little relieved and didn't seem to ask Yilin to come uninvited. The arrow held in her finger was inserted back into the arrow bag.

Kikyo shook his head: "but I have no trouble."

Yilin was slightly stunned.

That's not what Gran blacksmith said?

"You go."

Yilin was silent for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "OK. Then... Bye."

This time, Yilin really swaggered, pushed open the door of the shrine and left here.

Kikyo looked at Yi Lin's back and looked calm. He didn't know what he was thinking.

……

……

Erin went straight back to the hotel.

"It seems that there is another secret."

Yilin suddenly remembered the words that the blacksmith Ge Lang said.

——"It's over."

Now looking back, I feel that there is another meaning in this sentence.

end?

End what?

Then go back and ask Grange blacksmith. It may not work.

"Although the contact time is not long, the NPC Kikyo gives people a strange feeling."

"To take a step back, without saying 'specific lines' or displaying' specific props' in the game setting, Kikyo can't trigger the task. But if she doesn't regard this scene as a game, Kikyo's reaction is very strange. It's like... She doesn't want anyone to take the task and solve the 'thing' said by gram blacksmith."

"Gather information first."

"Fire god sacrifice? Oh."

Yilin has found the entry point.

The shrine can't sneak in at will in a short time.

Platycodon grandiflorum seems to have a similar "perception" ability to detect him in a stealth state.

Yilin always thought that his talent skills [shadow following] and [shadow killing] were very easy to use, but he didn't naively think that these two skills could run freely. In the double Lion Kingdom, does Homeros also develop a skill of [sword Saint realm · selfless realm] to be able to detect him in the shadow state?

In the game world, there are many things that cannot be measured by common sense.

Skills are complementary and exist.

Back to the hotel, the two mother spirits and Wang Tiandi are bored waiting for Yilin to come back.

"Ah ~ master, are you back?"

Bai Xiaoyi finished bathing in the hot spring. Her transparent little face was red and very cute.

Nie Hongxiu still looked cold, red clothes and bare feet, floating in the corner, silent.

It can be seen that when Yilin entered the room, she opened her eyes and nodded slightly to Yilin, which can be regarded as a greeting.

"Brush the fetter value to the top, pointing to the sun, you can wait."

Yilin nodded secretly. It is not difficult to see that the two mother spirits are becoming more and more friendly to themselves. It's not easy!

"Well, I went out for a walk."

Yilin answered with a smile. After putting aside his paper umbrella and fire mask, he sat on the couch in a dry bathrobe and fell into meditation.

Although the meeting time with Kikyo was brief, Yilin noticed a detail.

On the arrow held by Kikyo's fingers, "circuit" is impressively engraved.

Yilin is too far apart. He can't see the structure of the circuit clearly. He doesn't know what the function is. But think about it, it's just a simple small operation like "acceleration circuit".

The structure of bow and arrow is clear at a glance. The position where the "core" can be embedded is limited, so it is absolutely impossible to build some powerful techniques.

"I've always fallen into a misunderstanding. An engineer's staff may not really be a" staff ". In fact, any weapon can be regarded as an" engineer's staff ". Maybe it's a dagger, a long sword or a shield. It's not impossible for a real engineer to rush forward with a sword and shield."

After Yilin realized this, he first took out the question mark divine sword, looked at it, and then shook his head: "this divine sword is too malleable, but it is not conducive to the construction of the technique. Just like the technique I built on the surface of 'night nightmare', we must find stronger and more stable materials."

While talking to himself, Yilin glanced at the dog who shook his head and wagged his tail not far away.

Wang Tiandi suddenly widened his eyes and his tail was so stiff that it was tied straight.

The dog wondered.

I don't know why, just now it suddenly had the illusion that it was in danger.

"Forget it, it's too dangerous."

Yilin's expression was calm, his eyes moved away from Wang Tiandi, and temporarily gave up a bold idea.

A moment later, Yilin took out a silver revolver from the [prop].

……

……

Yilin lived in the fire country.

During this time, after sneaking into the shrine, the witch Kikyo didn't move any more except sending someone to officially welcome her, which made Yilin feel very strange.

Han Meimei and Li Lei, as the guide of Yilin in the fire source town, come to the hotel from time to time to chat with Yilin when they leave the post for patrol.

Han Meimei looks very grounded. The fine freckles above the bridge of her nose give people a sense of vision of her neighbor's little sister.

Li Lei is a typical spirit guy. When Han Meimei pesters Yilin, he bites his lips from time to time and wants to insert a mouth, but he can't. The anxious expression made Yilin shake his head.

This guy, secret love is written on his face.

Han Meimei seems to yearn for the "mysterious University of Engineering" and pesters Yi Lin to ask some questions about the "engineer" from time to time.

It's like——

"I heard that engineers like to eat with their feet. Is it true?"

"I heard that engineers are bald. Why do you have such thick hair?"

"I've heard that engineers usually don't live to be 50. Is that true?"

"I heard that many engineers are single. Shouldn't you be the same? What a coincidence?"

I don't know which dog planned these damn NPC lines.

Although these questions made Yilin tired physically and mentally.

But after mixing, Yilin also pretended to have no intention, and finally got some information about the "fire god sacrifice" from the two people.
