You and me under the world tree

Chapter 77: The Rite of Atonement

When Huo De ordered the takeaway, arranged everything, and entered the game, he found that he was in a "weightless" environment, and he could directly see the white sky and the rising sun. The sun also seems to indicate something.

I fly?

He subconsciously had such a question, but since he was in the game and it wasn't the first time he was thrown into the sky, he wasn't nervous.

"It seems to be entering some kind of plot." Thinking of this, Huo De couldn't help but start to twist and adjust his body. After inspecting the surrounding area, he found that the current situation was not good.

He saw that the jungle that could have provided shelter had become a dangerous trap at this moment. The branches of the trees danced like sharp spears, and the puppet creations made of mud and rocks also surrounded a circle. Lakin and Qi Geoff is clearly in crisis.

But the fact is far more than that. Those puppets of rocks and trees are not native elemental creatures. Even though Hodder has been thrown into the sky, he can still see the runes on those creatures.

Human operation...

In other words, if it is not enough to just deal with those puppets, it is necessary to find out the surrounding operators.

'boom'

Finally, with a heavy sound, Huo De's body finally fell to the ground. Perhaps the puppet used too much force before. He did not fall on the ground, but was thrown up a steep hillside.

However, before he could react, there was a gust of howling wind.

"Huh?!" After realizing this, he backed away directly.

'clang'

Then, he saw a torch-like warhammer hit the place where he was standing before, and what followed was an extremely frivolous sound.

"Tsk tsk, the reaction is good. I can understand why Hermod died in your hands. Your consciousness is indeed much stronger than that of the scud."

Although the person who spoke did have a tendency to want to chat or have a good time, Hodder did not respond to him. He had already drawn out his rune sword when he was rolling, and at this moment he was just staring at him. The one who launched the attack.

It was a man, he was dressed in a black robe, he didn't look like a warrior at all, and the blunt weapon he swung, which Hord thought was a warhammer before, didn't look like a weapon at all.

It did have a long handle, but the head that hit the ground was not in the shape of a hammer or a weapon, but a hood that looked like a fence, and a flame was burning inside the hood.

"torch……"

"Ah, you still have some vision," the man smiled when Huo De said that, "This is my best collection, it can be used as a weapon, and it can also blind other people's eyes."

From the beginning to the end, this man wore an inscrutable but harmless smile, but this did not mean that there was no malice.

"It seems that you should be the partner of the so-called messenger?"

"No, no, no, you have to be clear, I'm different from those reckless men who only know how to fight." The man dragged the torch hammer with some difficulty with both hands, and the man took a deep breath, "I came here just to prove the truth in my heart." Just some thoughts."

"Now, you have your answer."

"Yeah, I've got the answer." Regardless of the obvious irony in Hodder's words, the man just took a deep breath.

But before he could continue to say anything, he saw that the border warrior had set up the rune sword in his hand. The rune shining on the sword could not be ignored anyway. His aggressiveness was quite strong. Think again The corner of Helmode's mouth couldn't help but twitched at the tragic situation that was no different from ordinary people.

"You want to attack me?"

"You did it first."

He has actually seen that he is the only attacker here, and his black robe proves that he is not a warrior, he should of course be a wizard or something, combined with what Siegfried and the others have encountered now, the conclusion is very It's easy to come out: He is the mastermind of everything.

And more importantly, the attacker in front of him has already shown his health bar, so of course there is a reason to attack!

"Then you think you can defeat me?"

This time, Huo De didn't speak, no matter how the other party was hilarious or wanted to continue talking, he didn't pay attention to it!

'boom'

Like an arrow leaving the string, Huo De directly moved towards the man in black robe, and he came to the man almost instantly, and when he was about to lift the hammer in his hand with difficulty, his rune warfare The sword was already one step ahead, cutting directly into his neck.

Blood spewed out. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow that directly emptied the man's blood tank. His black robe was instantly soaked in blood, and his head flew to the side.

'Snapped'

The originally handsome head hit the rock wall directly, and for a moment, the scene was horrible.

"Now, I have proved it." After shaking off the blood on the blade, Hodder said.

"Yeah, you proved it." Then, just as Hodder was half-squatting down to touch the corpse subconsciously, he heard the man's voice again.

"??"

He became vigilant all of a sudden, and looked directly at the direction of the person speaking, and there, the bloody head was bouncing, and the handsome head bouncing and turning around looked extremely horrifying .

Then, the two just looked at each other like this, Huo De even forgot that he was touching the corpse for a moment, he held the sword in one hand, and put the other hand on the chest of the corpse, this kind of scene looked very strange , and the man was obviously hesitant, his slender brows stained with blood could not help but raise his eyebrows.

"Although Slude has mentioned many times that you respect the dead very much, no matter who the opponent is, you will definitely remember his face." The head just bounced like this, and there was an inexplicable meaning in the voice, "But I was thinking, you don't have any special hobbies, do you?"

This way of speaking can't help but make Hodder have such a sense of déjà vu, but Hodder himself didn't think about it for a while, so he just stared at this head.

"I said, don't you mean you are interested in me?" He looked at Hodder's other hand, which was pressed on his body, and there was indeed something wrong with it.

Then, Huo De clenched the rune sword in his hand, but just before he wanted to make a move, that head suddenly jumped back.

"Wait a minute, I'm different from that guy Hermod, I still know how to work around!"

He was probably also afraid that Hodder would really explode and split his defenseless head, so he just yelled desperately.

Then, a golden exclamation point appeared on his head...

"I can give you a ransom! Really! I can stop those things outside now!"

Chapter 78: Words of Redemption

In a short while, the fighting in the jungle below the hillside ended. Siegfried and Lai Jin didn't know what happened, just as they kept wielding their weapons and using spells to eliminate the puppets made of plants, rocks and soil. When creating creatures, they suddenly stopped their attacks.

The plants returned to their original normal form, the golems of dirt and rock began to shatter, and then, all the enemies just disappeared.

This sudden scene caused Siegfried, who was already tense and in a state of high tension, to be confused for a moment.

"What is this?"

"Maybe those people gave up the siege?"

Lai Jin's words were nothing more than casual swearing. After all, to be honest, their previous situation can be said to be quite bad. Although the tree puppets can be dealt with with flames, the mud and rocks can only be dealt with with blunt weapons. And their own strength, and this is precisely the shortcoming of human beings, and even a dwarf like Lakin is quite struggling.

But of course, it is not that Lakin has tried to gain control through magic, but his level of runes and spells is not as strong as his father Hreidmar after all, and the control of these puppets is still firmly controlled. Under control, he can't shake it at all.

And in this situation, fools should know to continue to attack. Even if they escape in the end, the loss will be quite large, but the attack has stopped?

"Uncle was thrown up before?" Thinking of this, Siegfried couldn't help but look up.

Because more than half of the tree puppets were burned before, the sky that was originally covered by the shade of the trees opened up, and from this angle, Siegfried could easily see the scenery above. They were resting at the foot of the mountain, so that Gao Po caught his eyes directly.

"Could it be... Uncle?"

"Stop joking, Siegfried, don't you know what happened to him before?"

Compared with Siegfried who subconsciously thought of Hodder, although Lakin subconsciously hoped so, he was actually a pessimist, because he had been wandering for too long and had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. What to expect in his own mind, his reason always tends to be 'pessimistic'.

"Maybe, compared to Hodder, other people are helping us. After all, you are the hero they have chosen."

Yes, the Valkyrie...

To put it bluntly, these women are just the transmitters of the will of the gods. They certainly have their own ideas, but they have no right to refuse. Even if some of them don't like Siegfried, as long as the gods are optimistic about him, then they will Help must be given.

"No matter who it is, you have to go and see." Finally, Siegfried said, "You wait for me here."

Speaking of this, Siegfried turned over and rode on the divine steed Grani, and then, the divine steed took off directly, and her four hooves were directly attached to the cliff as if they had their own magnetism, and he just climbed up.

At the same time, Hodder was still negotiating with the attacker on the high slope, and he fully grasped the initiative.

"You mean...the redemption ceremony?" He asked

In fact, Hodder is also very familiar with this term. It is not only a Nordic legend or even a tradition at the folk level, but it is also ubiquitous throughout the plot of "Nine Realms", and it has even become a mechanism.

To put it simply, it is to use "property" to eliminate conflicts and hatred. Countries can use this method to resolve disputes. The loser spends a lot of property to buy the right to live from the winner, and after receiving the redemption gift, the winner This matter must not be pursued.

However, this kind of thing is not compulsory, because at this time, Hodder has already touched the corpse quickly, and he has seen the drop list of the corpse:

The Icebreaker Torch is a torch-like two-handed hammer, and the Cursed Blade is a green dagger.As for the elven longbow, it is a light-attributed longbow exuding radiance. These three things are all in the drop list. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since Hodder himself has encountered such a "rich" in the scene mission. ''s dropped, the last time I saw more than three characters was still in the dungeon.

"You should know that you are here, if I want to get the redemption gift from your mouth..."

"clang"

"I'll just slash you with my sword." He waved the sword in his hand, and the rune warfare sword, which is enough to be called a magic weapon in Midgard, hit the ground directly, and the metallic sound was unavoidable. palpitating.

"Don't, don't, don't! There is one thing that only I know, how about I take it as a redemption gift? This matter is closely related to you!"

[Mission objective: Find out what that head knows (0/1)]

"Look at your greedy life and fear of death. Although Hermod screamed miserable before he died, he was not as shameless as you."

"Can something like dignity be eaten? I, Loki, are different from those guys."

Loki, the god of trickery...

When the other party said his name casually, Huo De couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Loki? God of tricks?"

He finally remembered why he was familiar with his seemingly bottomless but dancing on the edge, because he did know such a friend, and he was also named 'Loki', and he was a transgender ladyboy Number.

How should I put it, at this time, Huo De felt a subtle feeling in his heart, but no matter what he thought, his tone became a suspicion in Loki's eyes, after all Throughout Midgard, Loki's reputation has simply grown negatively.

"Don't, don't, don't doubt me, I can make an oath, I really can!" So at this moment, that bloody head started bouncing again, and this appearance inevitably made Huo De feel uncomfortable for a while.

Enough of this eerie atmosphere...

"Say!" Finally, Hodder said

After all, it is different from the player in the game who is obviously blindly named by JB. The one in front of him is the liar Loki in the game worldview. Not to mention whether he is really intelligent, the most important thing is that because of this identity, he Whether you can believe it or not is still a question.

"Hermod's not dead..." After the eyes on the bouncing head rolled around, he uttered nonsense, and then, what he ushered in was Horde's sword, and the rune sword just fell on the ground. before his eyes.

'clang'

"I know about this."

After all, before the real Ragnarok, countless stories have proved that these gods can keep running corpses. It is not difficult to find people from the underworld or other places, and "Nine Realms" as a game that never changes the system randomly Of course, the game will not ignore this point, so this point has always been expected by Hodder.

But what Loki said next inevitably made his pupils shrink...

"I can tell you how to deal with gods, which should help you! Plus I know how to deal with your curses! I'll trade the news and my collection for my life!"

Chapter 79: You need to replenish your intelligence

[Mission: Dark Rebel]

[Introduction: The threads of fate start to intertwine, what can you do? 】

[Mission Objective: Resistance (0/1)]

After activating this mission from the same mission scene yesterday, it has been hanging there. The reward is just a substantive title, and the mission goal is also very confusing, because the word fate is quite vague.

Originally, it should be a taboo to put this word in the game as a mission goal that should be clearly given to the player, because ambiguous mission goals with few clues can easily arouse resentment.

The player group itself is not easy to serve, especially after expanding this scope to the whole world, it becomes a problem that World Tree Company, as a developer and operator, must face.

However, in the face of players' criticism of the hint of "mission target", World Tree Company didn't pay any attention to it, so this feature of "figuring out" with heart has been retained until now.

But fortunately, as a game, "Nine Realms" is not completely anti-human. Although it is not clearly written on the panel, it still gives hints in the various plot performances that players participate in. For example, now, Huo De remembered very clearly that the time when he was hit by the curse was when this rogue's rebel and fate-related tasks appeared.

In other words, the so-called fate given to him by the game must be related to the 'curse of the evil dragon' that is still hanging on his status panel until now. Therefore, the things Loki said are still very important, not to mention That's what it says on the task board.

[Inquire about things related to the curse (0/1)]

【Inquire about things related to the gods (0/1)】

So in the end, after hearing that Loki was willing to share what he knew and repeatedly confirming that his head was not bloody, Hodder finally put away his rune sword.

"Say."

"Very well, first let's talk about the curse on you."
