Chapter 622 Goddess, Hero, What Bullshit

The name of these guys who are in charge of Cha Bai's "Goddess of Nature" is "Mushrooms".

Guardian of the Great Forest.

They look like a group of mushrooms that have become spirits, but are actually a kind of goblins. They are not aggressive, have a small amount of magic power, are good at repairing and healing spells, and have a strong yearning for life.

These guys kept shouting, "The goddess of nature has arrived!"

Cha Bai was naturally stunned. It felt good to be called a goddess, but she was loyal to "Lord Triss" and could not overstep this relationship.

"Um...I want to know, what's going on?"

The leading mushroom, which looked like a green mushroom, raised its cap and its big beard fell on the soil like a tree root.

As the oldest among this group of mushrooms, it is naturally the leader.

“We are mushrooms, the guardians of the forest.”

Chabai walked out of the viscera and looked at the mushrooms that only reached her waist, confused.

"protector?"

The mushroom old man nodded.

"Yes, we regularly clean up plants that affect the natural balance, and later..."

The old mushroom man coughed and nodded again.

"Recently, a powerful monster was controlled by a parasitic plant and wreaked havoc on the forest. When we were powerless to stop it, we thought about summoning the goddess of nature."

Cha Bai looked back and realized that she was the one who ran out of the belly of the monster that Jun Mushroom described.

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean by goddess of nature."

The old mushroom man nodded.

"It seems that you are still modest."

The mushrooms nodded in unison.

"The goddess is modest."

Chabai listened patiently, but she had a request.

"Stop shaking your heads. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

This group of mushroom-headed guys thought that it was the goddess's request, so they naturally followed it.

"I once bought a book from a merchant that came from the temple. It talked about summoning."

"Book?"

"Yes, the book that summons the goddess."

"where?"

“This guy ate it.”

The old mushroom man picked up a walking stick woven with branches and pointed at the monster that had died after its belly was burst by Chabai.

"It was because it ate the book that we thought that if the goddess descended into its stomach, it would be the first sacrifice to the goddess."

"You just want me to burst its stomach, right?"

After Cha Bai finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The group of mushrooms were all smiling.

"She admitted she's a goddess!"

"Whatever you say...but that book..." Cha Bai was interested in summoning: "Where is the merchant you mentioned?"

"Here!" A small mushroom jumped.

"you?"

"I used to be a businessman, and that book is something from the temple, a family heirloom that fell from the sky!"

The little mushroom sat beside the tree roots, blocking out the sunlight and muttering quietly.

"Later, the animals near our home died of plague, leaving hunters without a source of income. My father also became seriously ill, so I wanted to sell the book. However, the money I earned was still not enough to support my family, so I found Mr. Leo, who had bought the book in the first place."

The little mushroom paused.

"I beg the old man to turn me into a mushroom, so that I won't be hungry. More importantly, as long as I'm alive, my family is in my mind and they will never die!"

Cha Bai walked over and stared at this little guy who might have been a human before but has now become the guardian of the forest. He looked back and saw that all the mushrooms that were kneeling, standing or sitting were human creatures that grew up in the elf world in ancient times. They did not act like humans for various reasons, but still kept their original intentions and became the guardians of the forest. They must be a group of good people.

Thinking of this, Cha Bai exhaled: "Every era has its own pain points."

Mushroom Old Man: "The goddess is saying something very meaningful, everyone remember it!"

This group of guys, like a pilgrimage, but very joyfully shouted: "Every era has its own store!"

"It's a wound!"

Cha Bai decided not to complain.

"Tell me about the book that summoned me, and about the temple."

"Goddess, do you want to conquer the world?"

“No, learning never stops.”

Speaking of the temple, it is actually like many mythological stories.

There is a group of high and mighty gods living in the sky. In the current era when information technology is not well developed, no one can detect what exists in the sky. We only know that a group of gods with halos on their heads appeared hundreds of years ago, and then there were legends about them.

It is said to be a race of dragons.

They have a book, in which some wonderful technologies will appear from time to time. The gods will give these technologies to mortals, and the world has therefore developed black technology.

Compared to the world of "Great Sword" more than 10,000 years later, which has almost no magic, the current era does have magic.

But low magic.

Like magic and force, it manifests differently in different worlds. The power of the higher-dimensional world is related to the nature of the planet, but there is a way to judge the high and low of a world itself.

Low: The place one kilometer away is a restricted area and humans cannot reach it.

Chinese: Have you heard that only the rich and powerful have secret tools to get there?

Gao: Sir, please buy a ticket before getting on the bus.

The development of magic in this era is very poor, but... there are many black technologies, such as the "destruction cannon" that only appears in the fantasy world.

Moreover, people's physical qualities vary. Some people can smash the ground with one punch, while others have to use crutches when going out.

All of this comes from the book in the hands of the gods.

Including the magic of turning into mushrooms, it also came from a potion that fell out of that book. However, some time ago, the potion was used as pure water for watering flowers, so the mushrooms are basically extinct.

Books...knowledge?
scholar?
While Cha Bai was thinking, he and the mushrooms had already walked out of the woods and came to an open area where there was a temporary residence built by the mushrooms.

She bent over and entered Old Mushroom's house.

"This will be your home from now on. I'll move out right away!"

"Need not."

Cha Bai could even hold up the roof even after taking off her shoes. For the first time, she felt like a giant.

"Where is the palace of the gods you mentioned?"

"The center of the continent has been very troubled in the past. Recently, a demon king has been attacking there."

Cha Bai picked up a hand-drawn map from the table. Although it was very old, it could be seen that the old mushroom was a careful person when he was still a human.

"it's here?"

She pointed to the area where the old mushroom had painted stars.

"No."

A mushroom said: "I drew that. My hometown used to be near there. There was an endless supply of magic seeds."

That place was not far away, so Cha Bai decided to go there and take a look at the magic stuff.

"The Demon King and the hub leading to the temple are here."

Old Mushroom pointed to a skull and crossbones icon on the map.

"Why is it a skeleton?" Cha Bai was curious.

“Because there is a war.”

The old mushroom paused and said, "The devil is attacking that place. It's really dangerous..."

Fifty years ago.

A man who claims to have obtained the power of the devil from a book leads an army to attack the transporter that carries the temple.

Now it has become the Demon King's Castle.

As a result, the temple no longer appeared in people's sight.

It is said that the Demon King wants to take the temple for himself, a classic adventure story villain.

The importance of the temple is mentioned in the main quest. Going to the temple should allow you to access the most important anchor point left by the [Scholar] in this era.

The mushrooms said that the temple was ten thousand meters above the ground and that only the place guarded by the devil could go there, but only those with a predestined relationship could go there.

Cha Bai walked out, rode on the hammer and flew into the air. When he touched the clouds, he was teleported back to the ground.

There is a magic circle in the clouds.

Cha Bai looked at the sky.

"The magic circle, is it a defensive spell..."

At this moment, the group of mushrooms looked at her as if they were looking at God.

She can fly!

The goddess took out another door and wanted to try the [Door of Time Travel].

She silently thought about going to a place that was directly close to the main line, but she ended up spending an astronomical amount of gold coins.

The habit of diligence and thrift is engraved in his bones. When Cha Bai gave up, he verified his guess that the book hidden in the temple was the medium for [Scholar] to contact time and world history.

Now that I'm alone and have plenty of time, I might as well wander around for a while.

When Cha Bai was pondering, his eyes looked a little lonely, and his gray-blue pupils seemed to be sad.

The mushrooms wondered, what was the goddess showing mercy to?
"Goddess?"

"Oh, there is a problem." Cha Bai asked: "No one has solved the problem? I mean, solve the devil."

Old Mushroom shook his head: "It's not next to the country. The Demon King only attacks the guards sent down from the temple. Who has the time to attack the Demon King?"

"Then why is he called the Demon King?"

"That guy destroyed a lot of cities and did all kinds of evil. Of course, that was a long time ago."

“That still needs to be resolved.”

The mushrooms regarded Cha Bai's words as the outflow of divinity and concern for saving the world. She was worthy of being the goddess of nature.

"I want to go to the place you mentioned that has the magic seeds."

As soon as she finished speaking, all the mushrooms were ready to go.

"We'll go with you!"

"casual."

Cha Bai looked at the old mushroom.

"Sir, is there a place where we can make announcements?"

"No."

"That's it."

Chabai bent down and moved closer to it.

"Everyone, find a city and publish an announcement saying that the Goddess of Nature wants to conquer the Demon King and there will be a reward."

Since this is a superstitious world, we can use superstitious means to mobilize everyone. This is the only way that Cha Bai can think of.

The mushrooms naturally obeyed.

As for Cha Bai, she wanted to find a place to settle down, study magic, collect materials, and hand over the results to Li Nuo and his friends when they arrived. The most important thing for her now was how to get through the loneliness when Li Nuo was not around.

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

It’s also good to treat it as a long-distance relationship.

Just like that, the goddess and a group of mushrooms set out on a journey to find magic seeds.

……

Year 1035 of the Elven Era.

The goddess of nature descended to the earth.

A month later.

The goddess's announcement to conquer the demon king spread among several major cities.

Some say it's a scam.

But more people are willing to challenge the Demon King's army just to catch a glimpse of the legendary face of the goddess.

Including a country's monarch.

……

[Elf Era 1036]

At the border of a certain kingdom, on the edge of the national boundary established by the elves is a large forest. Passing through the forest, there is a wasteland. In the area filled with animal carcasses and weeds, there is a dilapidated small village. It is a quiet village, but only its tavern is bustling. Even during the day, there are a large number of people entering the tavern.

There are wild beasts all around, and the tavern is like an inn, a place for the mercenaries who clean up the mess for the kingdom to replenish their energy.

Inside the tavern.

Greasy men guzzled cheap ale.

The mercenary who had lost all his money in front of the bar was choking his opponent, who was kicking the table frantically with the heels of his boots.

"Asshole, you just cheated!"

"You are the one who can't afford to lose!"

"Kill him, Monterey!"

Cursing, howling, boasting, all kinds of sounds were heard in the small tavern.

In the corner, two mercenaries were sitting at a wine table near the firewood. One of them, named Gar, said, "Damn, why are there so many people?"

"Because of the bounty." The middle-aged man nicknamed Bloodbeard placed his wine glass on the table and said, "The monarch of the kingdom wants to see the goddess's face, and these desperate guys want to cheat the bounty, so they are all on their way to the kingdom. They are all a group of mercenaries in the wilderness, rough people. It's a pity for this tavern on the way."

"Yes." Gal said, "The goddess you are referring to is the one who is said to defeat the devil?"

"It seems so." Bloodbeard laughed, "Maybe it's just a bunch of idiots making up excuses."

"So you're here for the reward, too?"

"Me? How could that be? I'm just passing through. Like you, my hometown is here."

"you know me?"

Bloodbeard smiled without saying anything. Gal's father was his former comrade-in-arms. They had once challenged the Demon King's Castle, and only Bloodbeard came back alive.

At this time, shouting was heard near the bar.

"Let me go, sir!"

The blonde girl was grabbed by a burly man.

"Damn it, it's time to eat meat."

Gar held the hilt of the sword at his waist and was kicked by Bloodbeard from under the table.

"Don't try to show off, young man."

"what!"

"Those guys are bastards from the northern hunting corps, a bunch of evil guys. If you don't want to die here and you don't want to dirty your eyes, just go home, but don't be impulsive."

Bloodbeard was educating him.

Because Gal's father died because of impulse.

The girl was pressed on the table and her skirt was lifted up. The girl was a waitress here, and her father, an old man, ran out.

The old man had a weather-beaten face and came over with a few bottles of wine to show his goodwill, but was kicked to the ground.

The old man knelt on the ground and begged.

The girl howled in pain on the table and was knocked unconscious by a punch.

"This is a no-man's land. No one will care about these desperadoes. They may even be summoned by the monarch."

Bloodbeard held Gar's shoulder.

"Before you have that ability, you'd better be an honest person."

"My grass..."

Gal nearly gritted his teeth.

boom!
The door of the pub was pushed open.

A blond man walked in.

Among the mercenaries who were watching the show, someone smiled and said to the person who came in: "Dwarfs? This is not a place for you to drink."

The masters of this era are the elves. In their eyes, men who are 1.8 meters tall are considered to be an underdeveloped species, commonly known as "dwarves."

The man who walked in looked at the old man kneeling on the ground begging, looked at the girl who was being bullied, and looked at the mercenaries who were committing violence.

A silver sword pierced out from under the cloak.

The radiance of Kaliyah's magic falls upon every sinner.

Blood stained the wooden ceiling black.

The four perpetrators were left headless.

The two survivors were startled, and the moment they reached out for their weapons, a bullet flew in from the window and pierced their temples from the side.

The man holding the sword turned around and saw a short and fat man who seemed to be in everyone's eyes walked into the door.

This scene happened too suddenly. There was silence in the tavern for a moment, and then everyone went about their own business as if they hadn't seen anything. Also, because two powerful guys showed up, the mercenaries left the tavern one after another.

Gar stood up and said, "You are right. You need to be able to protect everything... I will learn from that gentleman."

Bloodbeard watched his old friend's child leave, feeling at ease and uneasy. Strength is hard currency, but that blond gentleman's strength is too hard...

He looked at the blond man and the short fat man, listening attentively to their conversation.

"Mr. Chen is here too..."

Brum took off his mask, revealing his old clothes that came from his own magical transformation.

“It seems like we are the only ones who have reached this era.”

Chen Shou opened the panel.

[Elf Era 1036]

[Side quest completed: Find your teammates]

"The place where you landed is just one street away from where I landed."

"Mr. Chen is right. I may be a little earlier than you."

Brum took the beer brought by the blonde girl. The girl looked at him with gratitude and excitement in her eyes. After all, she was saved by a handsome man. In the open old times, the girl quickly forgot the experience of being almost raped just now, and only developed a budding love for Brum in front of her.

"Thank you."

Brump put the beer on the table.

"I heard there was a mission to defeat the Demon King, so I came to take a look."

Girl: "Mr. said... it seems that we need to go to the kingdom to collect the bounty, but the purpose is related to a goddess."

Legend has it that a "Goddess of Nature" appeared a year ago. With her divine light of compassion for the world, the goddess hoped that a brave man would defeat the devil.

If successful, the goddess will grant a gift.

The monarch of this country also wants to meet the beautiful goddess in the legend, so if the brave man succeeds, he will receive double rewards from both the goddess and the monarch.

This resulted in a group of deadpools coming to meet the king.

Brum and Chen Shou also received a brief summary of this period of history from the system. What they knew was similar to what Cha Bai knew. Anyway, destroying the Demon King and going to the temple was the top priority now.

The only difference is that the two are actually figuring out how to spend this time.

It's leveling.

Or adventure.

Got to find something to do.

"Let's go kill the demon king."

Brup's words drew the attention of the few remaining people in the tavern.

"I want to meet that goddess. She may be hiding the world view."

Chen Shou thought it made sense.

"Li Nuo and his friends often decipher hidden worldviews. It's possible that the goddess is related to the Scholar."

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Reliable."

"Reasonable."

Chen Shou scratched his head in inferiority.

"I'm stupid, I hope Mr. Brump... doesn't mind."

Brump shook his head.

"How could that be, Mr. Chen? It's a pleasure to work with you."

Brupu held a sword and Chen Shou held a gun, and the two walked out of the tavern.

The blonde girl called out to them.

"Can I be your guide!?"

Brump smiled bravely: "Then... I'll leave it to you."

After saying goodbye to her father, the girl packed her luggage and left.

All of this was heard clearly by Bloodbeard who was sitting in the corner.

……

Year 1036 of the Elven Era.

A brave man appeared.

He and his partner defeated the Demon King's army in the first subjugation battle.

In less than half a year, the devil's army suffered defeat after defeat.

And all of this is the wheel of fate controlled by the goddess of nature.

……

Time flies.

More than half a year after the brave man set out, the world came to the end of the Elf Era 1036.

In a tavern in a border town.

Bloodbeard told the guy opposite him the secrets he knew: "I saw those two guys before. The blond man looked very powerful. Maybe the Demon King will be destroyed this time."

Seeing that the man opposite him was silent, Bloodbeard sneered, “Brother, I’ve told you everything I know. I’m just a storyteller.”

The person opposite still didn't speak.

Bloodbeard was a little impatient: "Say something, I don't know why you suddenly appeared in the thatched pile. It was my fault to step on you. I apologized to you and told you everything I know... I beg you to let me go!"

Li Nuo sat opposite him and slowly frowned: "Ah?"
