Chapter 77 Aina Wants to Elope with Her Brother, Not Her Sister.
【Ding! Traveler, you have triggered the epic quest: The Attack of the Locust Plague Lecaster (Aftermath)]
[Mission brief description: One of the pinnacles of natural disasters in this world, the locust plague Lecaste, crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers from the warm Great Flame Empire. It took 45 days to finally arrive in this land of perennial low temperature and wind. Snow covered land.
You need to successfully survive the locust plague. When you, the traveler, die once due to the locust plague, the evaluation of this mission will be reduced by one level. After three times, the mission will completely fail]
[Reward: Number of talent effect upgrades x1 (the highest upgradeable talent quality depends on the task evaluation), random talent extraction chance x1]
[Description: Locusts like to eat objects with non-flawless element fluctuations. Traveler, as an alienation patient, you will inevitably be targeted, so try to hide in a safe place]
Luo Xi became nervous just reading the description.
An epic mission.
Is this level of mission really something that a new player like him should encounter?
It can only be said that this made him deeply realize that the dream world opposite was definitely not a game.
The operation of the game and the upgrading of the character are usually based on a gradual process, but in "Dawn", a zero-level character like him was thrown directly into the hell difficulty copy.
Luo Xi glanced at the time on his phone.
It's ten past seven.
It was almost two hours before he and Ai Xue agreed to go to work.
Don't worry, let's solve the situation in the game first. At least he has to find a relatively safe place before he can feel relieved.
Luo Xi continued to click on the screen.
[Traveller, you stand up from the snow, and you see Aina’s face extremely panicked]
["Brother Luo Xi, what are those black things in the sky!?"]
[Traveler, you said: "Probably this is the locust plague you are talking about, right?"]
["Then...can the brilliance of the sacred tree really be blocked?"]
[Aina takes off the cotton hat on her head, and you find that the child’s wolf ears stand straight up like a frightened dog]
[After she took a few glances at the changes in the sky, she kept looking in the direction where Wei'er had just left, and then shouted directly to the road:
"Sister Wei'er! Come back quickly! Something is going to happen!"]
[Aina’s voice didn’t spread far before dissipating in the wind and snow.]
[Traveler, you don’t know whether you should stop this child from shouting at this moment]
[Maomao has been there for about ten minutes. After she discovered the strange change in the sky, she must have rushed back, right? 】
[As the sky formed by the light of the sacred tree is covered by more and more black objects, the sky and the earth suddenly become darker. At the same time, you find that the surrounding temperature is getting colder and colder, even with the continuous heat As it flows through your body, you can also feel the chill caused by the lowering of the surrounding temperature]
[Aina moves closer to your body again]
[You notice that the body of this little wolf girl is trembling slightly. The girl lowers her head and lets large snowflakes fall on her head]
[Traveler, you couldn’t help but sigh softly]
[Since their mother Liya left, Maomao has been the only pillar of support for the child Aina to live strong in this world, right? 】
["Let's go find your sister..."]
[Traveller, before you finished speaking, you heard Weier's shout from below: "Aina, Luo Xi! Come down quickly! We continue to go deeper into the city, and the situation has changed! We can't stay here. Got it!"]
【"elder sister!"】
[Aina jumped directly from the cliff. Even if you wanted to catch the child, it was too late]
【"ah!"】
[You heard the cat below me purr softly, and then scolded softly: "Who asked you to jump from such a high place? And Luo Xi, didn't I ask you to take good care of Aina? Why did you let me She jumped down alone! Aina, why don’t you wear your nice hat? Isn’t it cold?”]
[Traveler, you should quickly jump off the cliff as well]
[Less than two seconds later, you landed next to the two girls]
[Before Weier continued to scold you, Traveler, you immediately said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think much of Aina. By the way, are those things in the sky a plague of locusts?"]
[Weier paused, then snorted: "It should be right. If the characteristics of the locust plague are as I thought, they can eat any object, then we may not be safe and sound under the protection of the sacred tree. , we must find a way to enter the core protection range of Winter City, and Aina, how long are you going to hold your sister in your arms?!"]
["Aina needs to hug her sister!"]
[Aina put her head in Wei'er's arms and rubbed it, (●˙?˙●) said: "Sister Wei'er, brother Luo Xi and I have discussed it. If you don't come back, brother Luo Xi will Elope with Aina instead of your sister."]
[Maomao was furious (╬◣д◢): "He dares!"]
[Traveller, you nodded subconsciously, and after seeing Maomao’s expression, you quickly shook your head]
[How could you dare to elope with an ignorant little lolita? You will be arrested by the police]
[Wait a minute, are there no police in the dream world? 】
[Note: Have you finally discovered the perverted and suspicious traveler? The police can’t control this place]
Luo Xi silently tapped the screen twice.
Don’t be fooled by dog texts.
[Weier looked up at the dark sky and said: "The blessing of the sacred tree should last for a while, let's leave quickly."]
[Traveler, you ask: "Is it okay if you enter the core protection area of Winter City?"]
[Maomao looked back at you and said in a deep voice: "After all, that is the place where the sacred tree really protects. The wind disaster ten years ago penetrated the brilliance of the sacred tree and destroyed almost the entire gray stone street. Many people also died, but most of the people who died were those living in the wild, and none of the residents under the true glory of the sacred tree died."]
------
In the wilds of Winter City, there is a courtyard of a large house covering an area of several hundred acres, with various winter flowers.
Compared to the shabby gray stone streets, this place is heaven.
However, since this place is not in the inner city, the land here is still very cheap. As long as you have money, you can easily build large tracts of gorgeous residences.
At this moment, outside in the falling snow, a group of servants were lighting the stove, letting the rolling heat dissipate the cold and supply the two people in the pavilion.
Rat King North put down the black chess piece with a smile on his lips.
"Delcos, your chess skills have deteriorated. I won this game."
Opposite, an old man with a gloomy face angrily patted down the white chess piece in his hand and sneered:
"Haha, you just beat me by one piece. It's outrageous to ask me to get up so early to play chess. If I hadn't slept well, I would definitely have beaten you in this game!"
"Don't be impatient yet."
North took a sip of the almost frozen tea and said with a smile: "Delcos, I came to you this time to ask about your position. Are you on my side or Mazar's side? "
The old man fell silent for a moment, looking at the Rat King with his gloomy eyes, and said grimly: "I don't stand anywhere. Three years ago, I stood on your side, but what did you give me? Did you shorten my life? ?”
The Rat King laughed and said: "You old man has gained a lot of momentum after becoming the chief judge of the Judicial Yuan. I heard that you have sentenced many people to death without evidence in recent years, just to maintain your corpse." Lin, right? Is that what you need as a magician to sublimate and break through the fourth-level emblem? So many mutants are allowed to enter the city today. What agreement did you make with Mazare?"
Delcos stood up from his stool in an instant and growled:
"North, I just want to live a few more years. Don't force me to reveal your true identity. If the City of Yaoguang knows that your Church of Truth has penetrated this city so powerfully, it even targets the Winter Sacred Tree. Makoto, what do you think will happen to you?"
"We are mutually exclusive. Your behavior is even worse than that hypocritical guy from Mazar. What do you think the City of Light will do with you after it has dealt with us? And I only have a cooperative relationship with the Church of Truth."
The Rat King looked directly into Delcos' cloudy eyes and smiled: "But I am different from you. You are afraid of death, but I am not afraid. In my heart, there are things that I must do even if I die."
Delkos roared: "What is it? Tell me, North! Let me see what you are thinking!"
North's two eyes instantly changed into different colors, one was gray and the other was green, and his voice became extremely deep:
"I want to completely reshape this world into what I want, and for this, I will pay any price, even my own life!"
Delkos's momentum suddenly dropped.
He said weakly: "Crazy, you are even crazier than that guy Mazare. If that woman hadn't suddenly betrayed you at the festival in three years, I'm afraid you would have completed your plan, right?"
"Yes, but this time there is no Liya, the old city owner is no longer here, and the Noah Church has all evacuated due to the source of disaster."
The Rat King narrowed his eyes and said: "You should know that Mazare and I have different goals. He wants to completely become the ruler of this place, but this way he cannot give you what you really want."
The old man asked: "What can you give me?"
"Didn't you say that? Makoto."
The Rat King smiled and said: "If you can read the sacred book of the sacred tree and supplement your undead emblem, it will be somewhat useful, right? Now in the hands of Mazare, the little city lord of Hill has unsealed the two seals that Liya set back then. With the key in my hand, he and I are temporarily in balance, so I need you to be on my side and become a weight to win."
Delkos said in horror: "I thought you just wanted to control, you wanted to destroy..."
The Rat King smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to interrupt the old man: "The moment I get the sacred book of the sacred tree, I will use the characteristics of the disaster factor in my body to swallow the power of the sacred book and directly step into the peak of the fourth level of alienation. A mortal peeking into the realm of a fifth-level king! Even if you still can't complete the sublimation sign, I can help you find the fragments of sublimation later!"
"You will die! That thing is not human at all..."
"I will never die!"
North looked at the old man in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to take a gamble on the eve of the end of your life? Mazare can't help you at this point. You should know that he is content with the status quo. Man! I can’t possibly help you much.”
Delkos was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Where is the leader of the Winter Army, Signuo? The power armor army he controls is a big trouble. Have you tried to win him over?"
North shook his head and said: "That guy is a stubborn donkey. He is only loyal to the old city lord. I can't win him over. Besides, he has already doubted us."
Delkos asked: "Where are the two keys in your hand?"
"I always carry one with me, and the other...I originally wanted to take her into the city today, but I didn't expect that I snuck in last night."
North smiled and said: "It saves me a lot of effort. Speaking of which, aren't you a pure-blood believer? You have never experimented with alien species. Why did you partner with Mazare this time? Don't say no, I know you Definitely played a part in that too.”
The old man shook his head: "Actually, he also gave me a promise..."
Suddenly, their bodies trembled at the same time.
North squinted his eyes and looked up at the dense black shadows above the sky.
Delkos was surprised and asked: "What is it? The locust plague Lecaste? How come it is so fast?"
The timing of the aftermath of this disaster is a bit off.
According to the news from the last victim city, the aftermath of this incident, which has already subsided a lot, is still at least half a day away from them. Why did they arrive at Winter City so long in advance?
No, Xiao Wei'er is still outside. We have to bring the child back. The thin light of the sacred tree in the outer city in winter cannot withstand the long-term erosion of the locust plague.
"grass!"
North suddenly cursed loudly, making Delkos look confused. UU reading www.uｕkanshu. net
"how?"
"The mouse eyes I sent out are all dead again! Who did it?! Were they discovered by Mazare? Aren't they very alert?"
"that......"
Delkos pointed to a winter tree next to him. The tree was freezing rapidly at the moment. Frost also appeared on the faces of many servants, and they screamed in panic.
"Is it possible that your mouse froze to death?"
"freeze to death?"
North felt the temperature next to him and squinted his eyes to carefully observe the situation nearby. Many things exposed outdoors had frozen over out of thin air.
He remembered a phenomenon that had been recorded.
North stood up abruptly and said in a low voice: "Delcos, I think I know why Le Castel was half a day ahead of schedule. There is only one possibility. On the way it came, something of the same level as it drove it away."
Delcos's expression froze, "You mean, in addition to the aftermath of Le Castel, there is also a source of disaster that we don't know about this time?"
"This cooling and freezing property, if my guess is correct."
Rat King North said with deep eyes: "Thirty years ago, three large cities of the Winter City level were frozen overnight. It was called the source disaster that brought ice and death - the third source disaster. Snow disaster Mushlet, this phenomenon is probably just a precursor now, if it is the true body coming this time, we will probably all have to answer for it."
The old man suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and he jumped up from the stone bench and ran wildly outside. He didn't look like a bad old man in his sixties or seventies at all.
"Fuck! My forest farm!"
