As a player, can you be normal?

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 the imminent collapse of Chuangjie Mountain was still floating in front of his eyes. 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 the Creation Mountain has been shattered, and a strange change has occurred on the third layer]

The world is about to collapse...not the Creation Mountain...Li Nuo thought and turned to walk to the first floor, calculating every step in his mind.

"Uncle Henry has really become the culprit for the destruction of the world."

"And I became an accomplice to the evil."

"The Warriors of Light and the Artisans of Light broke the barrier and released the evil hidden deep within the Creation Mountain."

Thinking of this, Li Nuo curled the corners of his mouth.

“So chuunib…”

Nanami and Chen Shou were waiting at the stairs.

Chen Shou was asking questions to the group of children.

"Talk to me."

"Hey?"

Since Skinny Brother was wearing a Pikachu suit and looked like a pervert, the children were a little afraid of him.

"I'm not a pervert!"

A little girl with short hair said, "But... wearing a yellow onesie that looks like pajamas and saying 'I'm not a pervert' makes me feel more like a pervert."

The little devil from the Beast-ear tribe stood in the front: "Who are you? Why is it that the sky has darkened since you appeared..."

"The Beast Ears are delicious, right?"

Li Nuo said at the stairs, smiling at the little devil from the beast-ear tribe.

"Ah? Is it delicious?"

The two beast-eared ghosts were immediately stunned.

“No no no no no it’s not delicious!”

"Maca, don't lie..." The beast-eared tribe member named Pukalista said righteously, looking at Li Nuo and said, "Humans say that our ears are the best food! If you want to eat them, eat me, and I will let them go after you're done!"

"Equivalent exchange. You explain everything clearly, and we will do good deeds." Li Nuo grinned: "Okay?"

Equivalent exchange...

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

Horn could see the [Blood Line] Refining Array printed on Li Nuo's pupils.

Hearing his words, fear appeared in the eyes of the other children.

"Alchemist……"

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

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

Li Nuo: "I think so. Let's go together. Do you want to chat?"

"Um..." The beast-eared kid looked at the stone statue of Maljie and said, "Should we wait until daybreak, when his petrification is lifted?"

Li Nuo originally wanted to wait until Maljie woke up.

But it seems that there is no such opportunity now.

If the world is about to collapse, then the dark sky means that the sun will not appear for the time being.

In this way, the petrification curse on Malger cannot be lifted.

"Say it now."

Horn swallowed.

"That story begins... a few months ago."

……

Memories go back to a long time ago.

The night sky over Mount Chuangjie is always beautiful, but unusually lonely.

Horn followed his mother to practice medicine everywhere. His mother was an alchemist and an adventurer. She hunted monsters and used their body fluids to make potions.

"The Village of Remains."

The mother was holding a book that she had found in a deserted village.

"The Prince and the Village of Remains".

After a few days,
They followed the coordinates and came to the vicinity of the Relics Village, but could not find the entrance to the village.

It was only then that the mother found a telephone booth.

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

"The book says there are lots of strange creatures there, but no one has explored the truth. Where there is danger there is treasure."

"Mom...is it dangerous?"

"Since this is a quest issued by the guild, we won't let adventurers go deep without any preparation. If there is any 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 warmth.

He was left in a country inn nearby.

one day.

Two days.

A week.

Two weeks.

There was no sign of my mother returning.

Horn ignored the innkeeper's objection and went to the village of remains alone. According to the coordinates, he found a huge dragon bone, like a sleeping skeleton 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 took a look at the rabbit. Unexpectedly, the cute rabbit's back cracked open and a yellow mouse jumped out.

Horn was frightened out of his wits and wanted to leave the town, but his mother was nowhere to be found and the entrance to the village had disappeared.

So Horn plucked up his courage and walked through the town.

The residents of the town were in a state of confusion. The men looked like they were possessed by monsters, with red eyes, and the women sat on the ground yelling and crying, and no one paid any attention to them.

But Horn gradually discovered something was wrong. The people here showed traces of alchemy.

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 ruined tower. When he realized that he was going to die here, a handsome man calmed the dragon.

"This is not a place you can just enter. 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 Horne'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 same prince mentioned in "The Prince and the Village of Remains".

"Why is the prince here?"

"The country is gone, and I was taken in by kind people."

Horn found it strange. He was still a child, but he followed his mother around to practice medicine every year and could roughly tell a person's condition at a glance.

The prince was very strange.

Paled face.

And anyone who can control a dragon is definitely not a normal person.

But Horn could only trust the prince, after all, he was the only normal person here.

"Mother……"

"Oh, she came here at that time, and was chased by monsters just like you."

"That……"

"Hahaha, luckily I was nearby."

Horn hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you! Now she..."

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

"Hey, stay here."

Horn stared at the door excitedly. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped and the surroundings became eerily quiet.

He heard strange noises coming from the door.

creak...

The prince opened the door.

Horn saw his mother sitting on a wooden chair in the empty house. Her throat was swollen as big as her head, and her jaw was open as if dislocated, spitting out an egg.

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

Horn: "Mom..."

The mother's eyes were empty and she had forgotten Horn.

The air is quiet.

"mom!"

A roar shattered 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 am not interested in your touching family affection. Just tell me what good things you did for the prince."

Horn felt that this guy was completely emotionless. He said slowly, "I am his alchemy apprentice, helping him make potions. In fact, I am researching potions that can remove alienation... although the effect is minimal."

Li Nuo stopped him: "Just tell me the key points."

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

When the word "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 extremely blackened dragons. 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 level of the Creation Mountain. This palpitation and hostility are getting stronger and stronger."

Li Nuo looked out the window.

In the ruined city, everyone is in a state of madness. The eerie sense of deathly silence makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"How did the rest of you get here?"

The remaining five children spoke one by one.

All of them, except for 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 things that evolve]

"This thing needs to be consecrated before it can be used. How do you consecrate it?"

Horn shook his head.

"do not know."

According to the records of the Adventurer's Guild, some monsters with the "mountain" characteristic will give birth to "special mega stones", which are [fine raw stones].

Each type of mega stone has its own corresponding "attribute".

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

For example, the golden lion with supernatural power.

"Dragons" does not belong to the category of Pokémon, nor has it been similarly influenced by the creatures in "Monster Hunter". In order to evolve, it needs a stone with similar attributes to itself, or a stone that has been blessed.

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

"Excuse me..." Nanami smiled very gently: "What's wrong with him?"

She was referring to Malj.

"He..." A short-haired girl said with empty eyes: "It was purely an accident that he saved us... In fact, there were many women imprisoned in the tower, all of them were young girls. This guy sneaked in through the sewer like a dog, rescued those girls, and took us away as well."

Horn nodded: "At that time, he thought I was the prince's lackey and kidnapped me back."

Li Nuo looked vaguely, you would never be able to imagine how strong Maljie's practical ability was.

As he was speaking, a kid from the Beast-ear Tribe opened the secret door next to the bookshelf.

Then they saw five girls lying on the floor in a coma.

What’s more shocking is that there is also a Gardevoir in it…

Ah, yes, Zoran's Pokémon, Gardevoir.

Horn explained: "We are both assistants to the prince. Because of his twisted personality, this guy was locked up in a human prison by the prince."

But this Gardevoir was seriously injured in the explosion, obviously it was Malge's doing.

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

"Such a good figure?"

The Gardevoir he knew was a flat plate just like Nanami.

But this... God damn, those long legs that curve out so much that Nanami's eyes widened and she retreated out of the door feeling very inferior.

“A symbol of alienation.”

The one who spoke was a little devil from the beast-ear tribe.

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

There are three types of monsters in Chuangjie Mountain.

The original version.

Special life forms affected by mega evolution, such as the Golden Lion, the Overlord Charmander, and the enhanced Blastoise; they are characterized by having the characteristics of a fusion with "Pokémon" creatures, with extremely high destructive power, but their behavior still maintains the nature of the creatures.

The mutant species, such as the mutant Thunder Dragon and Venomous Bird, have the characteristics of "Pokémon" creatures, but their behavior and abilities have become more bizarre.

For example, the body of Raidothron is just a "mecha", and the actual controller is Pikachu inside its body. The toxicity of Venomous Bird has increased to an incomprehensible intensity, its ecological behavior is weird and it lacks thinking ability.

"This Gardevoir..."

Li Nuo and Chen Shou squatted next to Gardevoir.

Gardevoir slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah! Hooligan!" She covered her chest and retreated to the corner: "Don't, don't look at me!"

Humanization, this is the most bizarre change.

Gardevoir's breasts were heaving... Li Nuo was shocked: "So the culprit is actually the prince?"

The children were silent.

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

Li Nuo pointed at himself: "On me?" "There are traces of fighters..." Gardevoir frowned, quite like the shadow of the Fengchen version of Cha Bai: "Show me your beads."

"...Ah?" Li Nuo glanced at Cha Bai: "She was the first to act like a hooligan."

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

Li Nuo: "How is it possible~"

"Stop it!" Gardevoir said, "Beads!"

Li Nuo took out the [Liberation Pearl].

"That's not it!"

"Is that this?"

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

"Wait." Gardevoir took the [Golden Orb] and said, "The evil energy on it is too strong. It will affect you sooner or later. I want to reduce its evil energy and turn it into a usable magic resource."

"Well... that's it..." Horn pointed at Gardevoir and said, "A creature that can't communicate, who only knows how to immerse himself in the research of supernatural magic, a magician that even the prince can't control."

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

The depths of her eyes brought out the magical factor in Li Nuo.

The blue light.

It is by no means a symbol of darkness.

That is magic from the fantasy continent.

"My parents have been alienated, and I am the only one left. It was that damn prince who did it, so please, kill him and avenge my parents."

Scenes from Gardevoir's childhood popped up in his mind.

She was still La Rulas then.

She came to this town with her mother Gardevoir and father Mukden. Later, her mother and father were affected by the strange energy of the Village of Remains and turned into mindless monsters. She killed her miserable parents with her own hands and was taken in by the prince, the instigator of everything.

That was more than ten years ago.

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

[Task Difficulty: lv99]

[Task reward: 40000 experience points, random card*1]

[Mission details: Killing the prince is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in how to deal with the demon]

Chen Shou looked at the eyes of Li Nuo and the other three and realized that the prince was already dead.

At this time, Gardevoir returned the bead to Li Nuo.

【Golden beads】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect: Enchanted item, greatly increases damage to weak points, requires mastering the special system of "Monster Hunter" to use, two can be used at a time, effective time is 5 minutes, cooldown 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 looked at Li Nuo coiling the two beads and suddenly made a very disgusting expression.

"You know shit." Li Nuo replied indifferently. With a click, he took out a folding stool, opened it into a plastic chair and sat on it.

Then he sipped his tea while playing with the beads, which made Gardevoir even more disgusted: "From now on, I won't talk anymore. Don't pay attention to me."

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

The other three did the same.

After all, once the cat fans come out, it means a fight is about to start.

[Fire Dragon's Synthetic Meat Skewers: Increases the destructive power of the "fire" attribute]

[Dragon Meat Rice: Slightly increase all attributes]

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

The above are the rice suitable for Chabai, Nanami and Chenshou. Although they are all cold, the rice left by the butterfly can be eaten as long as it does not grow hair, and the effect will not be weakened.

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

This is Li Nuo's.

He was chewing with a crunching sound, and the group of little devils looked at him stupidly, as if to say, give us some.

"No." Li Nuo's mouth was full of ○○, and he said, "As a priest, I cannot let an underage child have a mouth full of ○○."

Chen Shou almost spit it out.

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

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

Li Nuo: "Huh?"

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

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

The group of children were stunned by what was said.

Obviously, they were fooled by Maljie.

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

"Adventurer's Guidelines for the Mountain of Genesis", "The Prince and the Village of Remains" and "The Truth of the Great Mage". There is no need to say much about the former, the middle one is a book that already existed in the Village of Remains, and the latter is the reward Amanda got from fighting against the demon king's army from the outside world.

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

"Hush." ​​Cha Bai said softly, "Bad brother is starting to think about doing bad things."

A bunch of kids didn't understand.

At this time, Li Nuo opened the task panel.

This is a systematic explanation of entering this world at the beginning.

[Four hundred years ago, the celestial spheres converged and came to this continent, bringing with them a number of strange creatures. Some people in later generations said 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. Because of the magic of the world, they begin to mutate...]

"The increase in strength caused by magic power."

[Later, the "celestial sphere intersection" brought new things, causing them to mutate again...]

"Pokémon appear, and the monsters with enhanced magic power begin to merge."

[Until three hundred years ago, a legendary archmage gathered these monsters and the celestial sphere together in a small, destroyed country, and that territory eventually turned into a continent isolated from the world and floated in the sky]

[Demons, dragons, monsters, all strange life forms live there, and peace and tranquility are restored to human society]

[That place is called "Chuangjie Mountain"]

Li Nuo opened "The Truth of the Great Mage" and compared the contents with "Rules of the Adventurer's Guild of Chuangjie Mountain".

The book "The Truth of the Great Mage" tells the story of a certain demon king who broke out of the Creation Mountain. All the content in the book comes from the records of the demon king's army.

Three hundred years ago.

The "intersection of the celestial spheres" at Mount Chuangjie brought a door from hell.

From the door walked a creature far more powerful than this world.

Several great magicians who wanted to save the world defeated the creature, but the dark aura leaked from the door would pollute the world again.

——Border prison.

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 is pouring into the outside world through the loopholes in the barrier created by Uncle Henry. The erosion will spread to the entire world within two days.

Back to the story in the book.

It was still three hundred years ago.

Among the brave men, a priest from the elves sealed the gate at the cost of his life.

In order to isolate this dangerous area, only three brave warriors, including the Beast-eared Mage Marika Nana, remained.

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 a large number of troops, not allowing living creatures from outside the Creation Mountain to leave the mountain, and not allowing any evil things in the gate to be taken out of the Creation Mountain.

The entire territory of the Creation Mountain was lifted into the air, and after all this was accomplished, only one wizard from the Beast Ear Tribe 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 what the outside world now calls the Demon King, he is actually a humanoid creature who survived the melee and later escaped from the Creation Mountain.

"The code only mentions that the one who created Mount Creation was a great wizard, and that great wizard was a member of 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, the Beast-eared Tribe, master destructive magic?"

"No, we can't... We are in control of the Sealing Technique. Dark magic belongs to humans and elves. This is a racial issue and cannot be changed."

"That means that if we encounter a big monster or something like that, no matter how powerful the Beast-Eared Tribe is, they won't be able to do anything."

"Well... this is our history."

"understood."

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

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

The security officer was still confused.

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

"All right."

Li Nuo slid his fingers across the "Code of Conduct for the Adventurer's Guild of Chuangjie Mountain", set the book on fire, and burned it to ashes.

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

Li Nuo: "Since it's fake, why don't you burn it?"

The code hardly mentions what happened fifty years ago. The Adventurer's Guild of Chuangjie Mountain only started to develop in the past fifty years. 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 of time.

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

in addition,

The intersection of the celestial spheres brings all kinds of strange things, such as telephone booths. Their appearance is not plug-and-play. The Adventurer's Guild collects telephone booths, lays lines, connects to the guild's information system, and then issues tasks in various locations.

There are several large areas on each level of Chuangjie Mountain, and there are countless small areas in the large areas. There are one or two telephone booths in each small area.

The so-called telephone booths are similar to the campfires in Dark Souls or the safe houses in survival games. All areas where they are placed are places with a relatively high level of "safety" and are areas recognized by the guild and accessible to adventurers.

For example, there is no telephone booth in the cave where the dominant male fire dragon is located, because the area where it is located is too dangerous.

Then, why is there a telephone booth in the Relic Village, which is more dangerous than the Overlord Cave?
Who manages the phone booths?
"guild."

Who are the managers of the guild?

"Su Ge, old president."

What is the purpose of the remains village?
You can also get a glimpse of this in "The Truth of the Grand Mage".

In fact, during the Honkai incident a hundred years ago, an army of demons emerged from a gate, and they were indeed terrifying.

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

The prince stayed in the Village of Relics to create energy that could make the monsters violent, causing the monsters to kill each other, so the truth about the Village of Relics became clear.

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

It reminds me of a telephone 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 Devil's Servant]

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

Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai.

"Let's go kill the old chairman."

……

The third level of Chuangjie Mountain.

In a hollow area, a huge door rose into the sky, and black particles poured out from the gap in the door, heading towards the sky like a tornado.

It was a dark night outside, and from time to time one could see various animals and plants emitting fluorescent light. A dry and cold wind blew in the direction, making a whistling sound.

"Every fifty years, cursed smoke leaks out of this door and surges into the sky, but it is absorbed by the barrier in the sky every time."

The old president stood in front of the gate, pointing his deep gaze at the pale yellow vortex on the door.

That thing is the celestial intersection.

There are tall towers all around.

Every year strange things enter the tower.

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

Amanda was pinned to the ground.

The dragon-slaying sword pierced into the ground.

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

[Dragon Slayer: The Devil's Words]

"I want to know the truth."

Amanda activated the greatsword skill from a distance and asked the old president.

At this moment, the old president couldn't help but say, "It was about fifty years ago. Someone summoned a giant white dragon, and it rained heavily from the sky, submerging everything. I was beaten like a mouse when I walked out of the door. Fortunately, the substance from the Border Prison affected it, and it turned into a human form and prayed to the sky."

She paused, then blurted out, "Warrior of Light."

Amanda: "You seem to be very scared of the dragon in human form."

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

Amanda: "Who the hell are you?"

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

"But you're not Suge..."

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

The old president opened his eyes, and they turned a depressing black.

"Well, little girl, that's about all the information you've been using on me."

She held the vial of Amanda's blood in her hand and looked up at the pterosaur flying across the sky.

There were soldiers in the airship pulled by the pterosaur.

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

In the airship in the sky, Elise stood by the window, her eyes pointed at the old president below.

"This old guy..."

The old president was smiling at her.

"Old President..." Xue Li whispered beside him, "Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Sydney, are you blind?"

Elise looked at Amanda who was trapped on the ground with cold eyes.

"..."

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

A task panel is lit in front of me:
[Main Quest: Break free from the shackles of the brave and make the final choice]

[Task difficulty: lv70~lv120]

[Mission details: The complete way to open the gate is to use the blood of "the one who killed the abyss" as the key. You have been 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, her eyes full of helplessness.

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

(End of this chapter)
