Chapter 45: The goddess in the lake (the old group exploded inexplicably, and a new group was opened)
Following the forest path, Duanmuhuai and Aojisi came to a lake. There were greenery everywhere, and broken stone pillars and ruins could be seen around. From the outside, this place seemed to be a building like a temple in the past. And in the center of the lake there is a small island carved on it, with a statue of a woman holding a golden holy grail in her hands.
That''s the goddess in the lake.
Looking at the sculpture in front of him, Duanmuhuai frowned, but at this moment, the system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him again.
[The sacred relic signal was detected and the coordinates of the sacred relic have been locked]
“Puff———!”
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai almost spurted out an old mouthful of blood - where did the holy relics come from? Wait, is it that holy grail?
Want to take this thing away?
Looking at the Holy Grail in the hands of the goddess in the lake in front of her, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.
Oh, you said if I took away the Holy Grail of the Batonians, they wouldn''t come to beat me.
Anyway, they can''t beat it.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt stable. The Green Knight was beaten down by himself, and he was still afraid of a hammer!
So Duanmu Huai also calmed down. Then he aimed at the goddess sculpture in the lake, intending to directly activate the jet pack and fly over to get the thing back - with this holy relic, he can build the [Judgement Library] to analyze the [Antima Energy Core] and then create a reactor!
However, just as Duanmu Huai was about to take action, the statue of the goddess suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. Immediately afterwards, the statue suddenly changed its form, transforming from the original stone sculpture into a living woman!
? ? ?
What if I''m going to be a living person after I''m playing this?
Looking at the woman in front of her, Duanmuhuai was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the woman bent down and scooped a glass of water in the lake with a cup. Then she floated across the lake, came to Duanmuhuai, and handed the cup over.
"Well………"
Looking at the cup handed over by the woman, Duanmu Huai looked disgusted, don’t think I didn’t see you flying over from above with barefoot. Moreover, the lake is full of raw water and is not hygienic. If you bring some athlete''s foot or something, what''s wrong with drinking it?
However, it was not polite if someone handed over it, so Duanmuhuai also took the cup with his teeth, glanced at the liquid inside, and soon the system information appeared.
[Holy Water in the Lake: You can obtain special expertise after drinking (goddess love) (goddess blessing) (psychological immunity)]
[Available for title: Holy Grail Knight (charm +2)]
Damn it? Add charm?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai''s eyes suddenly lit up.
If you want to add charm, then I will not be sleepy!
I just want something charming!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai felt that he didn''t dislike this cup of holy water too much. Although it was indeed a bit of a problem, it looked at least quite clear, at least it was much better than the aloe juice on A San Street.
Clean and hygienic.
But Duanmu Huai still didn''t drink it immediately.
He knew that after drinking the holy water, he would become the Holy Grail Knight of the goddess in the lake, but... Duanmu Huai did not intend to sell himself to the goddess in the lake.
Just kidding, I am a judge, but I am not from the heretical court, otherwise the goddess in the lake would be my loyal object. How could he do things for the goddess in the lake in turn?
But this holy grail is really reluctant to let go... After all, it is a holy object that is so close to you...
“………?”
Looking at Duanmuhuai holding the Holy Grail for a long time without any movement, the blonde woman in front of her also showed a puzzled expression.
"This is a blessing from the goddess in the lake. As long as you drink it, you will have enough power to protect this world..."
I know this, but if you sell yourself, I would like to thank Bumin.
It’s hard to say whether the Green Knight was just baiting back then.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai hesitated for a moment and finally looked at the woman.
"Can you give it to me?"
"certainly."
The blonde woman nodded with a smile.
"This cup of holy water is given to you."
"No, I mean the cup... can I give it to me?"
“………………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the blonde woman fell into silence for a moment. She looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise, as if she couldn''t figure out what was going on in front of her... The Holy Grail Knight wanted the Holy Grail in person, and this was probably the first one. “Thank you then.”
Since the woman did not refuse, Duanmu Huai pretended that she agreed, so he nodded and then quickly turned on the teleportation coordinates. The next moment, the teleportation beam appeared under Duanmu Huai and Aojisi''s feet. In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared completely.
“………………”
Only the blonde woman was still floating on the lake, staring at the uninhabited wilderness in front of her.
Don’t know how to react.
Duanmu Huai didn''t care what the goddess in the lake thought. After teleporting back to the core cabin, he immediately placed the Holy Grail on the terminal, then obtained points, unlocked the [Judgement Court Library] - At this point, Duanmu Huai was relieved. He was really worried about whether the other party would take the Holy Grail back. But now all the holy relics have been transformed, and even if you want to take them... you can''t get them back.
Then, Duanmuhuai took out the [Antima Energy Core] he had obtained before, walked out of the core cabin, walked through the corridor, and came to the Inquisition Library on the other side.
The style here is exactly the same as the [Strategic Command Room]. The whole room is arranged similarly to the church, and the bookshelf on the walls are empty and there is nothing. An arc-shaped platform is located at the center of the room, with a platform similar to a church altar. Duanmuhuai walked forward and cut it, put the [Antima Energy Core] in the center of the platform. Soon, the metal servo skull in the four corners of the platform slowly rose, radiating beams of light from the eye sockets, scanning the core in front of him.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
[Antima Energy Core (Analysis)]
【Progress: 1%】
[Required time: 186 days]
“This time is so long…”
Looking at the progress bar in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly, but it was not surprising. After all, it was Ancient Saint Technology, and it was indeed difficult to analyze it, and it was natural to waste time.
As for the holy water in the Holy Grail, Duanmu Huai did not waste it. She found a bottle and put it in it, planning to wait until the analysis of [Energy Core] is analyzed by the way, and then let''s see the situation - after all, it is something that can be added with charm. If it can be analyzed and made for manufacturing, then you can make this holy water yourself in the future. Not to mention drinking it, it will be useful for taking a bath and washing your face...
After doing all this, Duanmu Huai then teleported back to the lake with Ojisi. At this moment, the poor blonde woman was still floating in the air, looking at him pitifully, as if she was a little girl with a lollipop snatched.
"Sorry, but that cup is very useful to me and I have to take it."
Looking at the blonde woman in front of you, Duanmu Huai could only tell the truth - anyway, your cup has been broken down, and now you can''t get it back even if you want it!
"But I won''t take it in vain. If you have anything that I need to do, as long as I can do it, then you will definitely not refuse."
Although it is a bit unruly to buy and sell for forced purchases, for Duanmuhuai, the most important thing is the holy relics...
“…………”
Hearing this, the blonde sighed, and then she looked at Duanmu Huai again.
"Then, this knight, soon, this continent will encounter an unprecedented catastrophe. I hope you can protect this world and eliminate the upcoming threat."
As the blonde woman spoke, Duanmu Huai also had a task prompt popping up in front of her.
[Activate the mission "Doomsday Catastrophe"]
[Task Target: Stop the Destruction of the World]
[This world is about to face a ruthless catastrophe, looking for clues to stop all this]
I''ll go, this proposition is big enough.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was shocked. He originally thought it was a task like protecting Batonia, but he didn''t expect to go to the world level at once... Wait, can the end of the world refer to the end?
The so-called final moment can be regarded as the first major event of Xinghai OL.
In one sentence, it is... the player''s novice village was exploded.
The situation was like this at that time. More and more players were pouring into the Star Sea OL. Then on this planet, various forces began to fight for various reasons, and even the Chaos Force was no exception. The novice players at that time were very happy because there were many more tasks, but later they found that the difficulty of these tasks was a bit extraordinary, and as the plot developed, the more the players felt that the situation was wrong as they came later.
So they began to ask for help from other judges who had successfully left the novice planet and headed to the universe starry sky.
At that time, those players were immersed in the joy of exploring the infinite starry sky. Except for a few players who went back to see the situation, most players did not take these things seriously, just thought it was the development of the game plot. According to their ideas, there would be no problems in the end. If the players can''t beat it, wouldn''t they still have CG kills?
Well, unexpectedly... the player lost in the end. A mysterious existence opened the third chaos portal hidden inside the planet, tore the entire planet and swallowed it into the chaos realm of subspace. The entire planet was completely finished.
This ending surprised all players. You should know that many players joined forces on that planet at that time, both gaining reputation, buying houses, and recruiting people. As a result, you exploded in place and smoothed it all?
Can you bear this?
So at that time, players were inclined to the production company and asked the production company to give an explanation and compensate.
However, the production company''s answer is very spiritual - this is the fault of players'' failure to work hard. If you try to stop the conspiracy and protect that planet, then what is now will not happen.
So in the final analysis, it is your players who don’t work hard, so why should I do it?
Faced with the production company''s blaming, players were also stunned. They had seen shameless people, but had never seen such shameless people...
It was after that that, many people quit the game, but the remaining players also began to take every mission and every event on every planet seriously - it was obvious that although the explosion in the novice village was indeed heartbreaking, it did teach all players a lesson. Let them know that if they just slut, it will really lead to the destruction of the world.
If this is the case... this task will be much more difficult!
