Chapter 380 The Truth From a Hundred Years Ago

"telephone booth……"

The blond boy Horn never thought about why Li Nuo would pay attention to this thing.

"I don't know, it was there when we got here."

"Um……"

Li Nuo responded. The panel of Chuangjie Mountain that was about to collapse was still floating in front of him. Looking at the black sky, he felt uneasy.

[The true hidden world line has been modified: the world is about to collapse]

[Brief description: The barrier of Chuangjie Mountain has been shattered, and a change has occurred on the third level]

The world is about to collapse... not Chuangjie Mountain... Li Nuo turned around and walked towards the first floor, thinking about every step.

"Uncle Henry has really become the chief culprit in destroying the world."

"And I became a helper."

"The Warriors of Light and the Craftsmen of Light broke the barrier and unleashed the malice hidden deep in Creation Mountain."

Thinking of this, Li Nuo curled his lips.

"What a good second grader..."

Nanami and Chen Shou were waiting at the stairs.

Chen Shou was asking the children.

"Talk to me."

"Hello?"

Because Slender Brother is wearing a Pikachu suit and looks like a pervert, the children are a little afraid of him.

"I'm not a pervert!"

A little girl with short hair said: "But... wearing a yellow jumpsuit that looks like pajamas and saying 'I'm not a pervert' feels more like a pervert."

The kid from the Beast Ears tribe stood at the front: "Who are you, and why does it turn out to be dark when you show up..."

"Isn't the Beast Ears delicious?"

Li Nuo said at the top of the stairs, looking at the kid from the Beast Ears tribe with a smile.

"Ah? Is it delicious?"

The two beast-eared brats were immediately stunned.

“No, no, no, no, it’s not delicious!”

"Maka, you can't tell lies..." The animal-eared tribe named Pukalista spoke righteously, looking at Li Nuo and said: "Humans say that our ears are the top ingredients! If you want to eat, just eat me. I’ll let them go after eating!”

"Exchange of equal value. You explain everything clearly, and we'll build up your virtues with your words." Li Nuo bared his teeth and smiled: "Okay?"

Equivalent exchange...

The blond boy Horn said: "You are indeed an alchemist too..."

Horn could see the formation of [blood lines] printed on Li Nuo's pupils.

Hearing his words, several other children showed fear in their eyes.

"Alchemist……"

"It seems that you hate alchemists." Li Nuo looked back at the child: "So you were hostile to me from the beginning?"

Horn swallowed: "Because the prince is also an alchemist..."

Li Nuo: "Let me tell you, I'm traveling with you. Do you want to chat?"

"Um..." The kid from the Beast Ears clan looked at the stone statue of Marjie and said, "Should we wait until dawn and his petrification is lifted?"

Li Nuo originally wanted to wait until Marjie woke up before talking.

But now it seems there is no chance.

If the world is going to collapse, then the lack of light in the sky means that the sun will not be able to appear for the time being.

As a result, the petrification curse on Marjie cannot be lifted.

"Say it now."

Horn swallowed.

"That started...a few months ago."

…

Memories go back a long time.

The night sky in Chuangjie Mountain is always beautiful, but extremely lonely.

Horn followed his mother everywhere to practice medicine. Her mother was an alchemist and an adventurer. After hunting monsters, she used their body fluids to make potions.

"Village of Remains."

The mother is holding a book that she found in an abandoned village.

"The Prince and the Village of Remains".

A few days later,

Following the coordinates, they came to the vicinity of the Remains Village, but could not find the entrance to the village.

Until then, my mother found a phone booth.

She received a guild mission from the phone to explore the "Remains Village".

"The book says that there are a lot of weird creatures there, but no one has explored the truth. Where there is danger, there is treasure."

"Mom...is it dangerous?"

"Since it's a mission issued by the guild, I won't let adventurers go deep without preparation. If there is danger, I will come back immediately."

Mother touched Horn's forehead.

"wait for me."

In Horn's memory, that was the last time he felt his mother's tenderness.

He was left in a country inn nearby.

one day.

Two days.

One week.

Two weeks.

There was no sign of my mother coming back.

Regardless of the innkeeper's stop, Horn went to the Relic Village alone. According to the coordinates, he found a huge keel, like a sleeping dragon. There was no danger along the way.

As he walked, the fog troubled him.

After a sudden enlightenment, he entered a dilapidated town.

A rabbit passed by his feet. Horn glanced at the rabbit. Unexpectedly, the cute rabbit's back split open and a yellow mouse jumped out.

Horn was so frightened that he lost his mind and wanted to leave the town, but his mother was still missing and the entrance to the village had disappeared.

So Horn took courage and kept walking in the town.

The residents of the town were delirious. The man seemed to be possessed by a monster, his eyes were red, and the woman was sitting on the ground roaring and crying, and no one paid attention to him.

But Horn gradually discovered something was wrong. There were traces of alchemy on the people here.

He walked towards the highest point of the town.

He climbed up the tower.

He saw a giant black dragon on the top of the dilapidated tower. When he realized that he was going to die here, a handsome man comforted the dragon.

"This is not a place you can enter casually. It's very dangerous."

The man has a gentle voice and a nice smile.

"I, I came to find my mother..."

"Yannis?"

The man said Horn's mother's name.

"Yes! Have you seen her?"

"follow me."

The man took Horn into the mezzanine of the tower.

On the way, he introduced himself as a prince, the prince mentioned in "The Prince and the Village of Remains".

"Why is the prince here?"

"The country is gone and taken in by kind-hearted people."

Horn found it strange that he was still a child, but he followed his mother everywhere to practice medicine every year, and he could tell the general state of people at a glance.

The prince was very strange.

Paled face.

And people who can control dragons are not normal people.

But Horn can only believe in the prince, after all, there is only such a normal person here.

"Mother……"

"Oh, she came here and was hunted by monsters just like you."

"That……"

"Hahaha, luckily I was nearby."

Horn quickly thanked him.

"Thank you! Then she will..."

The prince stopped and looked at a door to the side.

"Now, here you are fine."

Horn stared at the door excitedly. Because there were suddenly no footsteps, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

He heard a strange noise coming from the door.

Creak...

The prince opened the door.

Horn saw his mother sitting on a wooden chair in an empty house. Her mother's throat was swollen as big as her head, her jaw opened as if it was dislocated, and she spit out an egg.

The eggshell cracked, and there was nothing inside, only black gas flowing out.

Horn: "Mom..."

Mother's eyes were empty, and she had forgotten about Horn.

The air is quiet.

"mom!"

A roar tore through the silence.

Prince: "You have the talent to be an alchemist. Be my assistant. Maybe one day you can take your mother away."

…

"stop."

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes.

"I'm not interested in your touching family relationship. Just tell me what good things you did with the prince."

Horn felt that the guy in front of him had no emotions at all. He said calmly: "I worked as an alchemy apprentice with him and helped him make potions. I was actually researching potions that could relieve alienation... although the effect was minimal. "

Li Nuo stopped: "You just need to tell me the key points."

Horn: "Well, the prince is studying an energy called 'Border Prison'. He injects that energy into the human body, uses the human body as an incubation machine, and spits out eggs containing twisted energy to pollute the creatures in the entire town."

As soon as "Border Prison" came out, the remaining three people present except Chen Shou were silent for a few seconds.

Nanami said: "Not long ago, when I called the 'Meow Meow Cargo Team', I actually encountered a group of dragons that had turned extremely black. At that time, I felt an abnormal state."

Chen Shou: "Abnormal?"

Nanami said: "Master (Cassius) said that Li has a strong sense of the malice of hell. Those dragons and this town are even getting closer and closer to the third floor of Chuangjie Mountain. This kind of heart palpitations The hostility is getting stronger and stronger.”

Li Nuo looked out the window.

In the ruined city, everyone is in a state of madness, and the strange sense of death makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"How did the rest of you get here?"

The remaining five children spoke one after another.

Almost all of them, except those who got lost, were brought here because they were related to adventurers.

"Got it, last question."

Li Nuo took out the "mega stone".

[Unconsecrated fine rough stones]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Brief description: The direction of consecration determines the evolution of things]

"This thing needs to be consecrated before it can be used. How does it count as consecrated?"

Horn shook his head.

"have no idea."

According to the records of the Adventurer's Guild, some monsters with "mountain" characteristics will breed "special mega stones", which are [fine rough stones].

Each type of mega stone has its own "properties" corresponding to it.

Wild creatures have a chance to evolve into a mega form after touching a stone with attributes close to their own.

For example, the strangely powerful golden lion.

"Fighting Dragon" does not belong to the category of Pokémon, and it is not like the creatures in "Monster Hunter" that have been similarly affected. To evolve, it needs a stone with similar attributes to its own, or a stone that has been illuminated.

Li Nuo put the stone away. At worst, he could go back to the treasure house (Sauron) and ask.

"Excuse me..." Nanami smiled particularly softly: "What's wrong with him?"

She meant Marger.

"He..." A short-haired girl said with false eyes: "It was a complete accident that he saved us... In fact, there are many women imprisoned in the tower, and they are all young girls. This guy looks like he has a dog's nose, sneaking in from the sewers, Rescue those girls and take us with them."

Horn nodded: "He treated me as the prince's henchman and kidnapped me."

Li Nuoxu stared, you would never imagine how powerful Marjie's practical ability was.

While he was talking, a kid from the Beast-Ear Tribe opened the secret door next to the bookshelf.

Then they saw five girls lying on the floor, unconscious.

What is more shocking is that there is also a Gardevoir inside...

Ah, yes, Sauron's Pokémon, Gardevoir.

Horn explained: "Both of us are the prince's assistants. This guy was imprisoned in a human prison by the prince because of his twisted character."

But this Gardevoir was seriously injured by the explosion, which was obviously the fault of Marger.

Li Nuo walked into the room and observed the Gardevoir carefully.

"You're in such good shape?"

The Gardevoir he knew was as flat as Nanami.

But this... God damn long legs were bulging forward and backward. Nanami's eyes widened when she saw her, and she retreated out of the door feeling very ashamed of herself.

"A symbol of alienation."

The one who spoke was a kid from the Beast-Ear tribe.

"I heard from the elders in the village that since fifty years ago, more and more of these alienated creatures have appeared."

There are three types of monsters in Chuangjie Mountain.

Original version.

Special life forms affected by mega evolution, such as the Golden Lion, the Overlord Fire Dragon, and the enhanced Explosive Scale Dragon; they are characterized by the characteristics of merging with "Pokémon" creatures, with extremely high destructive power, but still remain biological in behavior. nature.

Alienated species, such as the alienated flying thunder dragon and poisonous demon bird, are characterized by having the characteristics of "Pokémon" creatures, but their behaviors and abilities have become weirder.

For example, the body of Flying Thunder Dragon is just a "mecha", and the actual controller is Pikachu in the body. The poisonous bird's toxicity has increased to an incomprehensible intensity, and its ecological behavior is weird and it lacks thinking ability.

"This Gardevoir..."

Li Nuo and Chen Shou squatted next to Gardevoir.

Gardevoir slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah——! Rogue!" She covered her chest and stepped back to the corner: "Don't, don't look at me!"

Humanization, this is the strangest change.

The busty Gardevoir... Li Nuo was shocked: "So the culprit is actually the prince?"

Several children were silent.

The Gardevoir said: "Why do you carry something particularly dangerous on you?"

Li Nuo pointed to himself: "On me?"

"There are traces of a fighter..." Gardevoir frowned, a shadow of the dusty version of Feng Chen: "Show me your beads."

"...Huh?" Li Nuo glanced at Cha Bai: "She acted like a hooligan first."

Cha Bai: "From what I know about you, if I didn't exist, you would have acted like a rogue."

Li Nuo: "How is that possible~"

"Stop making trouble!" Gardevoir said, "Beads!"

Li Nuo took out the [Liberation Bead].

"That's not it!"

"Is that this?"

He took out the Golden Lion's [Golden Bead].

"Wait." Gardevoir took the [Golden Bead] and said: "The hostility on it is too thick, and it will affect you sooner or later. I will chip away at its hostility and turn it into a usable magic resource. "

"Well... that's it..." Horn pointed his finger at Gardevoir and said: "A creature that cannot communicate, a magician who only knows how to sullenly devote himself to the research of super-power magic, and even the prince cannot control it."

"Don't talk nonsense." Gardevoir said: "I can see the essence of people. You have been a savior, right?"

The magic factor in Li Nuo was drawn out from the depths of her eyes.

Blue light.

By no means a symbol of darkness.

That is the magic from the fantasy land.

"My parents have been alienated, and I'm the only one left. It's that damn prince's fault, so please, kill him and avenge my parents."

Pictures of his childhood popped into Gardevoir's mind.

She was still La Ruelas then.

She came to this town with her mother Gardevoir and her father Smelly Ni. Later, her mother and father were affected by the strange energy of the Relic Village and turned into mindless monsters. She killed her painful parents with her own hands and was killed by the prince who was the initiator of everything. Take in.

That was more than ten years ago.

[Side mission has been triggered: Destroy the Remains Village]

[Task difficulty: lv99]

[Task reward: 40,000 experience points, random card*1]

[Mission details: It is not difficult to kill the prince, but the difficulty is how to deal with the devil]

Chen Shou looked at Li Nuo's three idiots and understood that the prince was already dead.

At this time Gardevoir handed the bead back to Li Nuo.

【Golden beads】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect: Enchant props to increase significant damage to weak points. You need to master the special system of "Monster Hunter" to use it. Use two at a time. The effect time is 5 minutes and the cooling time is 1 hour]

[Brief description: Men’s weaknesses]

The two beads were no longer soft, but became extremely hard.

Now I can play it in my hand.

"Eh~" Gardevoir suddenly made a particularly disgusting expression when she saw Li Nuo holding two beads.

"You know nothing." Li Nuo replied nonchalantly, took out the folding stool with a snap, unfolded it into a plastic chair and sat on it.

Then he took a sip of tea while circling the beads. Gardevoir looked even more disgusted: "I won't talk from now on. Don't pay attention to me."

Li Nuo put away the teapot nonchalantly, put the weapon box on the ground, and took out the lunch box from it.

The other three did so.

After all, when the cat rice comes out, it means there is going to be a fight.

[Fire Dragon’s Synthetic Meat Skewers: Increase the destructive power of “fire” attribute]

[Dragon meat risotto: slight increase in all attributes]

[Pikachu's Exploding Eyes: Increases the distance and strength of long-range weapon sniping]

The above is the rice suitable for Chabai, Nanami and Chen Shou. Although it is cold, the rice left by Die can be eaten as long as it does not grow hair, and the effect will not be weakened.

[Poisonous Bird's ○○ Grilled Skewers: Whip-type attack power is moderately increased]

This is Li Nuo's.

He chewed it with a squeak, and the group of little ghosts looked at him stupidly, as if to say, give us some.

"No." Li Nuo stuffed his mouth with ○○ and said, "As a priest, you can't let underage children have a mouth full of ○○."

Chen Shou almost vomited.

"Tell me, what are you going to do now?" Li Nuo asked mumblingly.

Horn pointed at the statue of Maljie and said, "He originally wanted to integrate us into the resistance army, establish an underground force in the Relics Village, and fight against the prince."

Li Nuo: "Ah?"

Chen Shou: "Brother Ma is really bold..."

Nanami nodded: "Yes, isn't this just a gangster taking elementary school students to fight the principal in front of the police station?"

The group of children were stunned by what he said.

Obviously, they should have been fooled by Maljie.

Li Nuo swallowed the food in his mouth and took out three books.

"The Adventurer's Code of the Creation Mountain", "The Prince and the Relics Village" and "The Truth of the Great Mage". There is no need to say much about the former. The middle one is the book that the Relics Village originally had, and the latter is the reward Amanda got from fighting the Demon King Army from the outside world.

Horn: "Brother, are you reading a book now..."

"Hush." ​​Cha Bai said softly: "Bad brother is going to start thinking about bad things."

A group of children didn't understand.

At this time, Li Nuo opened the task panel.

It was the system explanation when entering this world at the beginning.

【Four hundred years ago, the intersection of the celestial spheres came to this continent, bringing a group of strange creatures. Some people in later generations said that they were called "dragons", and some time travelers called them creatures from "Monster Hunter"】

"This is the beginning."

【This group of creatures is too powerful, and because of the magic of the world, they began to mutate...】

"The strength increase caused by magic."

【Later, the "intersection of the celestial spheres" brought new things, causing them to mutate again...】

"Pokemon appeared, and the monsters with enhanced magic began to merge."

【Until three hundred years ago, a legendary great wizard gathered this group of monsters and the intersection of the celestial spheres in a destroyed small country, and that piece of territory eventually turned into a continent isolated from the world and floated in the air】

【Demons, dragons, monsters, all kinds of strange life forms live there, and human society has restored peace and tranquility】

【That place is called "Creation Mountain"】

Li Nuo opened "The Truth of the Great Magician" and compared the content of "Creation Mountain Adventurer Guild Rules"

The book "The Truth of the Great Magister" tells the story of a demon king who broke out of the Creation Mountain. The content inside is all from the records of the Demon King's army.

Three hundred years ago.

The "celestial sphere intersection" of the Creation Mountain brought a door from hell.

A creature far more powerful than this world walked out of the door.

Several great mages who wanted to save the world defeated the creature, but the dark breath leaked from the door would pollute the world.

——Bianyu.

Li Nuo thought of the current hint of [True Hidden World Line].

[The world is about to collapse]

In other words, the door is opening, and the breath of the border prison flows to the outside world along the loopholes in the barrier created by Uncle Henry, and the erosion will spread throughout the world within two days.

Back to the story in the book.

It was still three hundred years ago.

Among several heroes, a priest from the elves paid the price of his life to seal the door.

In order to isolate this dangerous area, only three heroes including the beast-eared wizard Marika Nana were left among the remaining three people.

In order to prevent the power of the Border Prison from disturbing the world outside the Creation Mountain, they injected the power of the seal into the border of the Creation Mountain, forming the most solid magic barrier in the world. One of the travelers from the outside world used "laws" to make rules, not allowing the people of the principality to station troops in large numbers, not allowing the living creatures of the Creation Mountain that are not from this world to leave the mountain, and not allowing any evil things in the door to be taken out of the Creation Mountain.

The entire territory of the Creation Mountain was lifted off, and after completing all this, only one beast-eared wizard was left alive.

That is, the legendary magician, Marika Nana.

But the power of the seal is weakening.

The Border Prison also brings curse confrontation, and accidents will occur every fifty years, threatening the solidity of the barrier.

As for the so-called Demon King in the outside world now, it is actually a humanoid creature that survived the melee and escaped from the Creation Mountain later.

"The code only mentions that the one who created the Creation Mountain was the Great Mage, and that Great Mage was from the Beast-ear tribe."

"But according to the content of "The Truth of the Great Mage", a door actually appeared from the 'Confluence of the Celestial Spheres', which led to the death of several 'heroes' and sealed the door."

Li Nuo looked at the two Beast-eared imps.

"Can you Beast-eared people master destructive magic?"

"No, we can't... We master sealing magic. Black magic belongs to humans and elves. This is a racial issue and cannot be changed."

"That means that if you encounter something like a big monster, no matter how powerful the Beast-eared people are, they can't do anything."

"Well... this is our history."

"I understand."

Li Nuo asked Nanami to wake up the security guard and asked two questions.

"The Adventurer's Code, when was it released? Who compiled it?"

The security officer was still confused.

"It seems like forty years ago, the old president..."

"alright."

Li Nuo slid his finger across the "Credit of the Adventurer's Guild of Chuangjie Mountain" and lit the book on fire, burning it to ashes.

The security officer was surprised: "Burning books is against the rules in the guild!"

Li Nuo: "Since it's fake, why not burn it?"

The code barely mentions what happened fifty years ago. In these fifty years, the Adventurer's Guild in Chuangjie Mountain began to develop. The outside world does not care about the beginning and end of Chuangjie Mountain. The truth of history will always disappear in the long river.

The person who shaped these fifty years of history is the old president.

in addition,

The intersection of the celestial sphere brings all kinds of strange things, such as telephone booths. Their appearance is not plug-and-play. The Adventurer Guild collects telephone booths, lays out lines, connects to the guild's information system, and then releases tasks for each area.

There are several large areas on each floor of Chuangjie Mountain. There are countless small areas in the large area, and each small area has one or two phone booths.

The so-called phone booth is similar to the campfire in "Dark Soul" or the safe house in a survival game. The area where it is placed is a place with high "safety" and is an area recognized by the guild and where adventurers can go.

For example, the cave where the Overlord Fire Dragon is located does not have a phone booth because the area where it is located is too dangerous.

Then, why is there a phone booth in the Relic Village, which is more dangerous than the Overlord Cave?

Who will manage the phone booth?

"guild."

Who are the managers of the guild.

"Su Ge, the old president."

What is the purpose of the Relic Village?

You can also get a glimpse of it in "The Truth about the Great Magister".

In fact, during the Honkai incident a hundred years ago, a demon army emerged from the door. They were indeed terrifying.

However, the monsters at that time killed all the demons and left no one behind.

The prince stayed in the Remains Village to create energy that could make the monsters violent, causing the monsters to kill each other. Therefore, the truth about the Remains Village was also revealed.

"In order to prevent resistance from monsters when opening the door, we first turned the monsters into violent, irrational creatures."

It reminds me of a phone booth here.

There must be a connection between the old president and the prince.

That……

Li Nuo clicked on a task before the update:

[True Hidden World Line: Defeat the Servant of the Demon God]

"The old president is the servant of the devil."

Li Nuo looked at Chabai.

"Let's go kill the old president."

…

Chuangjie Mountain has three floors.

In a hollow area, a huge door rises into the sky, and black particles pour out from the cracks in the door, leading to the sky like a tornado.

It was a gloomy night outside, and from time to time we could see various fluorescent animals and plants. There was a dry and cold wind blowing smoothly, and there was a whistling sound.

"Every fifty years, cursed smoke will leak from this door and surge into the sky, but each time it will be absorbed by the enchantment in the sky."

The old president stood in front of the door, pointing his penetrating gaze at the light yellow swirl on the door.

That thing is the conjunction of the celestial sphere.

There are tall towers all around.

Strange things come into the tower every year.

Only this ancient door is sealed here, and only those who possess the magic power of another world can awaken its form.

Amanda was restrained to the ground.

The dragon-slaying sword penetrated into the ground.

The blade trembled and roared, affecting the old president's mind.

[Dragon-Slaying Sword: The Demon’s Straight Talk]

"I want to know the truth."

Amanda activated the skill of the big sword from a distance and asked the old president.

At this moment, the old president said uncontrollably: "It was probably fifty years ago. Someone summoned a giant white dragon. It rained heavily from the sky and drowned everything. I was beaten when I walked out of the door. It was as embarrassed as a mouse. Fortunately, the substance from the border prison affected it, and it turned into a human form and prayed to the sky. "

She paused and blurted out: "Warrior of Light."

Amanda: "You seem to be afraid of the dragon that takes human form."

The old president: "It doesn't matter what happened. Now that the dragon girl is dead, the barrier in the sky has collapsed. It seems like the devil is telling me that it's time to open the gate of the border prison."

Amanda: "Who the hell are you?"

"Fifty years ago, the servant of the devil walked out of this door."

"But you are not Sugar..."

"After the body is destroyed, the soul can take over a living person and continue to live. Isn't that close to the power of a high-dimensional demon?"

The old president opened his eyes, and his eyes turned depressingly black.

"Okay, little girl, the 'truth serum' you used on me is only worth this information."

She held a small bottle containing Amanda's blood in her hand and looked at the pterosaurs flying in the sky.

Among the airships pulled by the pterosaurs, there were figures of soldiers.

"The army is here. The rules of Chuangjie Mountain limit you. What can you do with a team of less than a hundred people?"

In the flying ship in the sky, Elysee stood by the window, her eyes pointing at the old president below.

"This old guy..."

The old president was smiling at her.

"Old President..." Xue Li whispered from the side: "Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Xueli, are you blind?"

Alisee looked at Amanda trapped on the ground with cold eyes.

"..."

Amanda pursed her lips, her imprisoned body unable to move.

In front of him is a task panel:

[Main quest: Break free from the shackles of the brave and make the final choice]

[Quest difficulty: lv70~lv120]

[Quest details: The complete way to open the door is to use the blood of "killing the abyss" as the key. You are mistaken for a sacrifice. Now you have two choices. One, break free and kill the servant of the demon god. Two, break free and help the servant of the demon god tie up the real warrior of light (player 5900)]

Amanda took a deep breath, full of helplessness.

"Li Nuo, I am your substitute..."
