The weird game of the ancient gods

The village chief didn't care that much, and said to Xia Yu: "Gravedigger, I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, he looked at the inquisitor, "This Baker must have accomplices who can kill all the miners. There must be more than one dark creature. Lord Inquisitor, Father, we must think of countermeasures."

The leader nodded: "Come to the church and let's discuss strategies to deal with it."

The inquisitor and the village chief followed the leader into the church.

This is a professional advantage. Xia Yu suspected that the leader might have a hidden profession, otherwise there would be no reason to be so talkative.

Xia Yu frowned, always feeling that the leader was planning something. Was he a necromancer?

He couldn't think of an answer to this question for the time being. Xia Yu glanced at the gradually dispersing villagers and the corpses that had been burnt to charcoal, and thought to himself, let's finish this work first.

He rolled out the wheelbarrow from the cemetery and prepared to work, but the black cat found him.

"Hey traveler, let me show you something nice."

The black cat said mysteriously and took out something from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is for you."

Xia Yu took a look and saw that it was a black gemstone. It was a little worse in quality than his, but still not small. It was as big as a pigeon egg. Xia Yu was a little surprised, "Where did you get it?" of?"

"I picked it up from that cave. Thanks to you, I actually saw the statue. Unfortunately, there is no sacrifice. I can't sacrifice it yet. And I haven't thought about whether to sacrifice it or God. I picked up some black gems by the way, which can be considered an unexpected gain. I have to thank you, so I’ll give this to you.”

What did Xia Yuxin mean when he said he gave me a gem for no reason? No, there must be a ghost here.

Watching the black cat leave, Xia Yu's heart moved. He pushed the car aside and followed him quietly. His footsteps were silent. The black cat didn't notice it at all. He walked towards a man who was about to go hunting. of villagers.

"Hey Ethan, do you want to go hunting? I have a good thing for you. Look at this. Hey, I picked it up from the cave. This is a good thing. Don't you know? Black gems can ward off evil spirits. , I don’t tell anyone else about this. I think you are a good person and I will give you one. If you wear it, dark creatures will not come to you."

The hunter named Ethan was dubious, "Really? But why did those miners die? They should have black gems, right?"

Black Cat shook his head and said: "Those miners did not have black gems, so they were killed. All the black gems in their hands were taken away by the village chief. Why do you think the village chief took away the black gems? The more of these things, the more effective they will be." Okay, so he can be safe. I usually give you one because I have a good relationship with you. If you don’t want it, forget it.”

"No, no, no, thank you, Black Cat." The hunter named Ethan took it over happily and put it away with great care.

Xia Yuxin said that the black cat was really evil. It was just a gift to the players, but what was the point of giving it to the villagers? He continued to follow, and after a while, the black cat gave away four or five black gems. Xia Yu looked at it with suspicion. , this girl must be planning something. Thinking of what the devil said last night, could it be that she has taken refuge in the shadow in the stone? Could this black gem be some kind of medium?

He did not continue to follow. He returned to the village and pushed the body to the cemetery. He took out the black gem from his pocket. The more he looked at the black gem in his hand, the more uneasy he felt. After thinking about it, he put it back in the small cell. Inside the house, I felt it was not safe, so I simply dug a hole and buried it.

After taking care of Baker's body, Xia Yu prepared to dispose of the bodies of the miners. What surprised him was that the village chief told him that he was not responsible for the bodies for the time being.

This was a bit weird. Xia Yu glanced at the corpses of the miners on the ground and was suddenly startled. The werewolf corpse was not among them.

How is this going? They didn't take away the werewolf's body after trying to kill the miners before. Now that the body is gone, could it be that someone took it away in advance?

Could it be that Necromancer?

Xia Yu left with a lot of thoughts. During the day, he continued to look for sacrifices. While searching, he also observed other people. Throughout the day, everyone seemed to be planning something. Xia Yu noticed that Feihu and several other hunters were discussing What are you talking about? Bai Ye whispered to the gentleman. The prodigal son disappeared again. The overlord was hiding in his butcher shop and didn't know what he was doing.

It seems that the players all feel that the game has reached a critical moment and are preparing for the next step.

Xia Yuxin said that he also had to make some preparations. Since the sacrifice could not be found, he should discuss the next tactics with the Dragon Rider.

When he came to the blacksmith's shop, the dragon rider was forging iron, and there were already several pieces of armor and weapons being carburized in the pile of ashes.

The dragon knight struggled to strike a two-handed sword. Xia Yu's eyelids twitched when he looked at the shape of the sword. Isn't this Frostmourne? Although it is not as exquisite as the original Frostmourne, the sheep-head skull-shaped sword, the sword body covered with runes, and the sharp teeth on both sides of the sword are still recognizable at a glance.

This dragonrider really burned the bag and made such a weapon.

"Traveller, you are here, take a look at this sword I forged, how do you like it, it's cool."

"It's cool enough, but can you use this thing?"

The shape of a fantasy weapon like Frostmourne is made in full size, and its weight is definitely not light. It may weigh dozens of kilograms.

"No problem, I'll use it after I transform. I still use the same one I usually used before. I also made a set of armor and put it on when I start a group again. It's absolutely like a humanoid tank. What do we do next? Still strong Kill?

Xia Yu shook his head, "There's no need. Now that everyone is so frightened by the corpses of the miners, everyone will probably run to the church to take refuge at night. I'm afraid they won't be killed by force. But don't worry, the water has been mixed now. For the time being, No one will pay attention to us anymore, so I think it’s better to improve our strength as much as possible. As long as we wait until the blood moon comes, we will win for sure.”

Xia Yu felt that he was very powerful now. If he could find another sacrifice to strengthen his strength, and then wait until the blood moon came to obtain the blood moon's amplification and strengthening, he would still be invincible.

Dragon Rider quite agreed with this, "Okay, I just happened to take advantage of these few days to build Frostmourne. My set of armor also needs some time to complete."

Xia Yu reminded: "Be careful with others and don't expose any flaws."

"Don't worry, they all expect me to help make weapons. It's too late to please me. You see, Black Cat just gave me a black gem."

Xia Yu was speechless for a while, "I think there's something wrong with the black cat. You'd better not wear this stone on your body."

At night, the two came to the church again, and they were accompanied by the villagers. Now it was obvious that if they did not enter the church at night, not only the players would be suspected, but even the NPCs would not be immune.

The Baker who was burned to death during the day is the best example. Therefore, there were surprisingly many people coming to the church tonight. Men, women, old people and children filled the church hall. Not only were the chairs full of people, but also the church hall was packed with people. There were even people standing in the aisle.

People were talking and whispering in low voices. Various rumors about dark creatures made people's faces full of fear and worry. The fear and confusion about life and the future made everyone look so heavy.

Xia Yu felt something was wrong as soon as he entered. There was a strange smell in the air of the church. It was a mixture of sweat, leather, blood, and an unexplained weird smell.

Xia Yuxin wondered how to stay in this damn place. I was afraid there would be no place to sleep at night. He passed through the crowd and was about to talk to the leader. Suddenly, he found seven corpses lying in the open space of the church. They were the miners. of.

No wonder there was such a strong smell of blood. Xia Yu was a little confused. Why did the leader bring these corpses into the church?

He looked around. Bai Ye, Gentleman, and Overlord Black Cat were all there, but he didn't see Fei Hu. Maybe it was because he was late, and Xia Yu didn't pay much attention.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, the leader finally walked up to the podium, holding a holy candlestick in his hand. The candlelight made his face look extremely serious and sacred.

"Silence, silence!"

When the villagers became quiet, the leader cleared his throat and began to preach.

"Dear villagers, many unfortunate events have occurred in Blackstone Village recently. A dark shadow is shrouding this land. This land is cursed. The Lord Inquisitor and I discussed it for a long time and agreed that it must be solved once and for all. This is an issue that people should not live in fear of.

And after discussion, we finally came up with a way to get rid of the dark creatures hiding among us tonight. "

Hearing the leader's words, the villagers cheered suddenly, but Xia Yu found it funny. This leader is really good at deceiving people. He can't even figure out the identity of the dark creature. How can you solve it?

He just thought so in his heart, but he didn't expect someone to say it directly.

"Master, you know how to deceive people. You haven't even been able to find a shadow of a dark creature for so many days. You should tell me how to do it.

This act of disrupting the situation made the leader a little unhappy. He glared at Overlord but did not answer.

"Before I tell you my solution, let us pray to God first. Only devout prayer can we get God's protection. Only God's power can save us from the threat of fear and darkness. As long as you If we are pious enough, God will surely save us.”

People began to pray silently one after another. Not to mention, every one of them looked very sincere. They were probably frightened by the dark creatures and the corpses of the miners in front of them. Xia Yu also pretended to lower his head and pretended to pray, but secretly observed Around him, he suddenly noticed that along with the sound of prayers, the leader's body began to emit a faint golden halo.
