Soul Echo

Crossing mountains and mountains, walking through the wilderness, Zhong Ye and Amos walked for ten days, and finally returned to the boundary of civilization, all the way hard to describe.

This is the southeastern province of the Kingdom of Etrull, and the King of Etruul hoped to use this as a breakthrough to recover the lost land affected by the occupied area.

When they came to the vicinity of Resta Town, the first thing they saw was the craftsman, Lifu, who was repairing the road.

Workers with broad axes cut down trees that grow alongside roads, and then other workers drag them away for other uses.

Weeds growing on the road should be eradicated as soon as possible, and the excess branches and leaves covering the road above the road should also be cut off.

In addition, there are mercenaries with weapons patrolling and guarding around the construction site to prevent wild beasts in the forest from running out and harming workers.

Zhong Ye saw several mercenaries with firearms in their hands and waists. He was not surprised by this, because the background of "Soul Echo" is the first industrial revolution, even in Easterland , With the country's strong control, firearms will inevitably flow into the people, not to mention Xilu?

Zhong Ye and Amos walked out of the forest, but no one dared to stop them, and even the workers deliberately avoided them.

It has been a few days since they left the occupied area, but the fierceness of their bodies seems to have not dissipated, not only wild beasts, but even humans can feel their ferocious power.

Both of them were keenly aware of this, they ignored it, and walked on the dirt road that had just been repaired to the only town in the territory.

It didn't take long for them to come across a camp under construction, where workers used trailers to transport trees for processing and stockpiling in preparation for the king's development plan.

Further on, there are manors scattered around the town of Resta. The tenants live around the manor, but outside the manor, there are also the farmhouses of free people, and the crops they cultivate are connected together. A piece of land, if not separated by railings, it is impossible to tell which piece of land belongs to whom.

When passing by the stone bridge, I turned to look around, and I could see some peasant women and girls washing their clothes by the river. In the distance, there was a mill leaning on the river, and the water wheel was turning slowly.

Crossing the bridge, you can see the city wall of Restar.

that guards are quiet and solemn, and they should have been stationed here for decades, and the mottled years above can be seen without getting close.

The tough grass drilled from the stone crevices swayed gently, beating the city bricks made of several pieces of gravel.

As the sun went down, the twilight slanted into the city gate. When Zhong Ye entered the city, a businessman was begging the yawning tax officer, just hoping to reduce the tax a little.

——[Has entered the town of Resta]

Lettuce snorted, Amos patted its neck, pulled the reins, and crossed the puddle overflowing with unknown dirty water, bringing the He walked through the streets and alleys with Zhong Ye and came to the door of a church.

At this time, the church was not closed, and an apprentice was cleaning outside the door. When he saw Amos, he immediately stood up and greeted with joy: "Mr. Amos, you are back!"

demonhunter He raised his lips, smiled and nodded, "Please help me bring the lettuce to the backyard, I have something to ask Father Piero, where is he now?"

The apprentice took the reins of the horse and said: "The priest is cleaning the divine throne."

Amos suddenly realized, "It turns out that it is already the middle of the month..."

He took Zhong Ye into the church and said as he walked: " The middle of each month is the provocative day selected by the Supreme Light. On this day, believers must bathe cleanly before praying to His Majesty, otherwise it is disrespectful. Because His Majesty stipulates that believers can only go to church During the prayer, the church will have an inspection of the acolytes. In the age when medicine was not yet developed, this regulation allowed many believers to avoid the danger of contracting the plague.

“The prayer ceremony on the morning of the day is usually at noon, In the afternoon, the ceremony is over, and then the church members will clean the church. The priests and above must clean the divine throne, that is, the statue of the crowned emperor, and experience the hardships of labor. "

"You also believe in this god? "Zhong Ye asked curiously.

hearing this, Amos couldn't help laughing and looking at the head, "I don't believe in the Crown of Supreme Light, I just have reverence for the Crown. ”

The orange twilight passes through the transparent glass window and falls into the church.

The candle has not yet been lit, and a tall and burly back is particularly prominent among the heavy shadows.

The priest wiped the sculpture of the sun silently. Sun God is not a Spiritual God upgraded by human beings, so it does not have a specific image. All the sculptures are a stone ball dyed red with paint, symbolizing the 'sun'.

This is the case with most primordial Spiritual Gods, such as the Moon God, the statue is usually a sphere with a bumpy surface.

They don't need a prominent figure, just a noble Character and kindness can make people spontaneously believe - even churches are spontaneously formed by people thousands of years ago, and they do not need any belief to maintain their position and power.

Just because someone sincerely believes in They, they still have the same love.

After wiping, the priest held the sculpture on the pedestal, the stone ball floated and hung in the air, and the candles in the church were also lit.

Whoo-

The flames rose, lighting up the church brilliantly.

"Welcome back, Amos. "The priest said in a low, muffled voice, and after a greeting, he turned his eyes to Zhong Ye, "And this guest from Easterland, welcome to the West Land. "

"Piero, not sure if he's from Easterland yet!" "

demonhunter turned his head and pointed at Zhong Ye with his chin, "Guess where I brought him back? "

The priest looked as usual, "Occupied area. "

"You know what? "Amos eyebrow raised.

"This is what His Majesty told me. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Ye immediately widened his eyes and stepped forward excitedly, "Your Majesty knows where I came from? "

"Yes. "The priest has clear eyes and a sincere tone." Your name is 'Zhong Ye'. You are the youngest Battlemaster in the Huang Kingdom of Easterland. In order to learn more fighting skills, you came to the Western Land from Easterland, but encountered a tornado on the way and almost died because of it. , Fortunately, he was carrying the amulet bestowed by His Majesty Heavenly God to save his life.

"It's just that the talisman of Heavenly God can't control the direction of your fall, which makes you fall into the edge of the occupied area. If there is no Amos, the residual power of the talisman will also guide you out of the occupied area. ——It now seems that although His Majesty Heavenly God has protected your life, he has accidentally made you lose some memories."

Could it be that there is another 'Zhong Ye' in this world?

Zhong Ye frowned , the things the priest said were not in line with what happened to him at all.

If he's from Easterland, he should be wearing Easterland clothes instead of tracksuits.

But if he crossed over, why would Sun God know about him? And weave such a lie that can only be used to deceive others, but not him?

"...Is that so?"

Zhong Ye pressed his doubts in the bottom of his heart, even if he asked, no one could answer, instead he would have doubts about his identity.

Originally, he didn't care about his identity as a 'transmigrator', but now that he looked at it, he might want to hide this identity deeply.

Amos was finally able to put his mind at ease. Except for at first, he didn't regard Zhong Ye as an abyss monster, but he still had some grudges in his heart.

Now, Zhong Ye's identity has been confirmed by Supreme Light, and he can release the last pressure in his heart.

demonhunter laughed, patted Zhong Ye's shoulders, "Now you don't have to go to the mage to understand your own situation, what are your plans? If you want to travel to the Western Continent, at least you have to be rich, right? We This business is quite profitable, do you want to work with me for a few days?"

frowned, Zhong Ye hesitated.

At this time, the priest interrupted and said, "If you want to make money, there is just one thing in Restar that can make you a lot of money."

" What's the matter?" Zhong Ye's eyes were firm and he looked at the priest.

He knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't have the money to move a single step. Just now he was thinking about whether to move with Amos first, or he might not be able to eat enough.

"The news that King Your Majesty is going to develop the wilderness between the southeastern province and the occupied region has spread all over Etrul, and now King Your Majesty is still gathering outcasts, beggars and nomads. Land farmers are preparing for development, but some dark creatures and cultists have already heard the news.

"Resta has recently appeared in several murders and disappearances, much like the work of vampire and cultists, It's just that we haven't been able to find out yet.

"The nobles and merchants in the territory are very worried about their lives being threatened, so they jointly issued a reward with our church. You can get three to five Silver Coins for solving a few cases, and you can get them if you find the murderer. Three Silver Coins, if we catch or kill the murderer, we are willing to pay five gold coins as a reward—provided that the murderer is not strong.”

【Discovery Mission—】

[Resta's panic: The priest will inform you of the bounty, darkness and killing are now pervading the entire town, panic is spread through rumors, and the people in the town were alarmed. ]

[Solve the case, find the murderer to get three to five Silver Coins; kill or capture the murderer to get five gold coins (rewards increase with the difficulty of the task)]

In the blink of an eye, the panel information disappeared from Zhong Ye's retina.

"Bang!" Amos sneered, hooked Zhong Ye's neck, and led him to turn around and walk out, "Come on, let's go to dinner first, and then go find the murderer, I But I told you, I'm an expert on those things..."
