Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"Your growth has really surprised me,"

Although I have decided to help Xianyu Songguo, I still have to find a reason.

Hill looked at the few people and seemed very satisfied. He nodded slightly and said, "Follow me. This is the extra reward given to you by the mercenary group."

"!!"

Several players’ eyes widened immediately. This was indeed the main storyline, and the rewards hadn’t been distributed yet!

Salted Fish Pine Nut was also very surprised: "Huh? Are there any extra rewards?"

"Well," Hill nodded, put the knowledge totem into his bag, looked at the few people, thought for a long time again, and then said quietly: "I hope you have sharp enough thoughts and extraordinary wisdom..."

As she spoke, she put all her remaining attribute points into intelligence. She no longer cared whether Buyu and the others could understand her or not, and led the way out of the inn.

I have hinted so clearly that the next things will be rewarded based on your intelligence attribute. If you still don't understand this, then in a sense it is true.

The few of them looked at each other in silence and had a brief conversation behind Hill. They did notice Hill's reminder, but as professional players, it had become a habit for them to retain attribute points, so they just conservatively added a few points to intelligence.

A few minutes later, the four followed Hill into a church.

Because of the magic academy, the church in Ale City is very unusual in that it worships the god of wisdom - Reason instead of the goddess of love.

In the backyard of the church, in the cemetery where the dead are buried, there is an ordinary-looking grave-sweeper.

He was a man in his early sixties. In other professions, he was indeed a bit old, but for a job like grave sweeper, he was just right.

Hill remembers this special character.

He was once the most talented scholar in the magic academy and a magic swordsman. In order to pursue the absolute truth and get a glimpse of the truth of the world, he studied magic more deeply than anyone else...

He succeeded, and then suddenly went crazy. But after being crazy for a while, he no longer spoke incomprehensible words, no longer cried and laughed, but just became very silent, and no longer full of vigor and vitality, and was willing to become a mortal.

Why did such an "ordinary little character" leave such a deep impression on Hill?

There are two reasons. First, this character has been hotly discussed by players for a long time. Why is it so hotly discussed by players? Because he...can be said to be a character who breaks the fourth wall. Players once thought that he was a little easter egg left by the official for players.

Breaking the fourth wall in games is very common, but in "The Sanctuary" because it is too realistic, such plots are very rare.

For example, if the player has a high enough favorability towards this man, he will tell the player in a mysterious way that the world he lives in is fictional and not real.

Of course, this may not be eye-catching enough. What surprises the players is that they know that they come from another world and guess that the world they are in is just a game for them.

On this basis, he will tell the players: The world I live in is fake, not because this world is your game, because your world is also fake, hehehehe….

But for Hill, it doesn't matter at all.

The second reason is...he can help players "read" knowledge totems!

Knowledge totems exist in the buildings of many large organizations. Scholars speculate that these totems come from ancient times, and on the totems, there are still whispers of sages that ordinary people cannot understand at all...

Except for the very few great sages on the continent, almost no one can understand it. The only exception is this grave sweeper!

And for players, finding a great sage to read the knowledge totem comes at a price! Either faith points or gold coins, but this grave sweeper wants nothing!

The only two drawbacks are that this guy often disappears, unlike the Great Sage who always stays in one place, and sometimes he goes crazy in the middle of reading, causing the knowledge totem to be destroyed....

Players can obtain many things by interpreting the knowledge totem, just like drawing cards. It may be an address that triggers a hidden task, it may be an extremely rare or common skill, it may just be a story, or it may be an attribute point....

As the saying goes, what is not yours is always the best, so players will always think that the "card" destroyed by the tomb sweeper can definitely draw out good things. This leads to the fact that although the tomb sweeper's "card drawing service" is free, not many players come to him.

"Old man, do me a favor," she walked directly to the man, shouted loudly, and took out the knowledge totem from her bag: "What did the person inside say?"

This man looks normal, but he is actually still mentally disturbed, so it is obviously unnecessary to treat him like a normal person.

When dealing with mental illness, it is best to use the simplest and most effective way to make the other person understand what you want to do and what you want him to do.

So Hill chose to jump straight into the conversation, not playing coy with him, and directly handed the knowledge totem to the other party, and repeated: "It says a sentence, you follow it, do you understand?"

The old man had a strange expression, sometimes surprised, sometimes dazed. He stared at Hill for a long time, as if he understood. Suddenly he nodded excitedly, widened his eyes, made a face, and then stuffed the knowledge totem into his ears.

"In the rift between black and white, the roots of the world grew..."

The other party started mumbling very quickly, and words that were more mysterious than riddles reached the ears of Hill and the others.

At least the riddle is understandable, but the old man’s words are completely confusing except for knowing what words he said!

[The original knowledge reverberates in your mind, you gain some insights, Intelligence +2]

"!!!" Suddenly, a line of text floated in front of Xianyu Songguo's eyes. She widened her eyes in surprise and quickly looked at her attributes. Sure enough, her intelligence was two points higher than before!

"I increased my intelligence by two points!" She immediately looked at her companions: "Will you pop up this message?"

"Ah? I directly increased my attack power by three points."

"Huh?? Why don't I have anything?"

"Shut up!" Hill suddenly shouted coldly as they were chatting animatedly, glancing at them seriously: "Listen carefully."

Except for the one who had remained silent, the three of them were stunned and immediately fell silent.

To their surprise, not long after, the reminder of attribute improvement came again.

The excitement grew, and the three of them looked extremely excited because they discovered that the grave-sweeper's muttering had not yet ended!

On the other side, Hill's eyes had been tightly closed without knowing when...

Because at this moment, a will as deep as the deep sea has suddenly arrived.

[People from the future, the clan of slaughter, the chosen one of retrospection, I foresee your coming, and here, I offer my blessing! ]
