Finally, it was Ye Xiao who broke the silence. He took out two pieces of bread and water from his ring and threw them to the two idiots. "Eat and drink. Once you're done, let's get going. You don't want to rest in this damn place, do you?"
Irene and Dong Muge looked at each other, picked up the water on the ground and started drinking it.
After a long period of tension, there will always be dry mouth and tongue. After drinking the cool water, the two girls gradually calmed down.
Chapter 61: The Deceased
"What were those just now...?"
The three of them walked slowly in the dark bushes. On the way, Dong Muge couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either." Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly, "I just want to get out of this shitty place safely now."
Having said that, Ye Xiao actually had some impression of these things. In his previous life, all the small fry under the command of the Blasphemous Saint were things like this with tentacles all over them.
Before, he thought that it all originated from Ella, but now it seems that it is not entirely true.
But Dong Muge definitely couldn't explain this clearly, so it would be pointless to say anything, so it would be better to just answer directly that I don't know.
Ye Xiao was also helpless. He originally wanted to find the inheritance of the miracle magician, but instead of seeing the inheritance, he encountered these strange things.
Not to mention the "Ancient Tomb" mission, there is a high probability that it has failed.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao opened the task panel.
[Mission: Ancient Tomb (Progress 5%)]
The progress actually increased?
And the mission has not been terminated. Is this a long-term mission?
"I feel... I can't walk anymore..." Dong Muge suddenly said.
"What about you..." Ye Xiao turned around and suddenly stopped.
For some reason, the two arms that Dong Muge exposed appeared slightly blue under the moonlight.
He quickly picked up the staff and lit up the fluorescent light. He walked forward, took Dong Muge's hand, and saw some tiny cracks on the girl's hand.
"No way." Ye Xiao murmured. He looked up at Dong Muge's face, only to see a similar expression on the girl's face.
Like ceramic that is about to break, it gradually begins to crack over time.
"Wait, stop first." Ye Xiao seemed to realize something, pressed Dong Muge's shoulder lightly and took two steps back.
The chapped skin on the girl's body healed a little, as if time had gone back.
Dong Muge's face suddenly became a little frightened, "What is this..."
"The deceased..." Irene, who was standing by, saw this scene and her throat moved.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xiao asked hurriedly.
"She...she can't leave this place." Irene said in a trembling voice.
"Huh? Why?" Ye Xiao was stunned. "A magic seal? Or is there a barrier restriction?"
"No, she is the product of breeding." Irene shook her head slightly, "She can't leave here."
"Can you speak human language..." Ye Xiao was overwhelmed. He had never heard of such a thing.
"I don't know much." Irene looked at the mist-shrouded Lyra Peak in the distance. "This is a rumor recorded by my family."
"The ancient god's body fell into nine pieces, one of which has been guarded here by my ancestors for generations."
"After a long time, my family gave up their duty of guarding the valley for unknown reasons and moved away. However, there are still records that there is a power that can bring people back to life here."
"Those in the family who were supposed to die used this power to extend their lives, and the generations continued. But when they moved away, they found that they could not leave this valley no matter what."
"These people are referred to as 'deceased persons' in my family records."
"Do you mean that Dong Muge is... dead?" Ye Xiao looked at Dong Muge.
“Hmm…” Irene bit her lip. “If my guess is correct, people who die and are resurrected by the valley cannot leave the valley again.”
"I'm a little confused..." Ye Xiao stroked his forehead, "She was clearly with me from the beginning... Wait, Dong Muge, when did you see me?"
"Ah? Seeing you... Didn't I see you in the canal inside?" Dong Muge's eyes revealed confusion.
"I mean...the first time you saw me, was it yesterday? Or just now?"
"The first time, weren't we classmates... If you mean after coming to this strange place..." The girl frowned and tried to think hard, "Then I saw you for the first time in the canal. I was playing games at home, and I don't know why I ended up in that place when I woke up..."
"What the hell." Ye Xiao realized something was wrong. "That means you woke up in that canal the moment you came here."
"Time travel? I think so." Dong Muge didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.
But the problem is that it has been almost a week since the players collectively traveled through time.
Based on this speculation, Dong Muge should indeed be dead. He died in the canal a week ago when he just traveled through time.
The one Ye Xiao rescued now, as Irene said, was just a product of that valley, and his memory was still stuck in the time when he just crossed over.
Damn it… Ye Xiao originally wanted to try whether he could use the healing holy light to cure this strange disease.
But how can he treat a dead person?
Wait a minute, who is this Dong Muge that I met before?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
If Dong Muge had died long ago, then who was the person I met in the tavern and who had been following me up the mountain? Although I had realized based on habit that they might not be the same person, I didn't expect this conclusion.
By the way, there is also Zhu Jun, he is with Dong Muge.
If there is something wrong with Dong Muge, there must be something wrong with Zhu Jun as well.
The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and Ye Xiao's brain felt like it was starting to smoke.
"I... I originally wanted to come here to look for the relics recorded by my ancestors." Seeing Ye Xiao didn't say anything, Irene continued to confess, "I didn't expect this to happen..."
"I can only say that you are really not afraid of death." Ye Xiao said unhappily, "Nobles are nobles. They use other people's brains to do things."
"You..." Irene wanted to be angry, but found that tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, "...I didn't want to... wuwu..."
"Oh my god, I can't stand it anymore." Ye Xiao's scalp tingled. One is Blue and White Porcelain and the other is a crybaby. How can this game be played?
It might be better if it was Arnold who was saved, at least he wouldn't cry if you scold him.
"Don't cry, please... Well, let's rest here today. Anyway, there seems to be no movement on the mountain." Ye Xiao is really not good at comforting this kind of crying guy.
Having seen so many separations and deaths, Ye Xiao is actually a little numb.
Whether in this life or the previous one, he tried his best to save those who could be saved, some of whom were saved and some were not.
Some of those who were rescued were grateful, while others stabbed him in the back; some of those who were not rescued died, while others survived and blamed him for not trying hard enough.
What else can I do? It's just like that.
He had long passed the time of crying and waving goodbye.
His life motto is to be lazy, but he has no choice most of the time. Of course, this is also his old habit.
The three of them used leaves to build a simple tent against the mountain wall. While crying, Irene deployed defense and warning formations.
Not to mention, this young lady is actually a master-level magician, which is two levels higher than Ye Xiao's apprentice-level magic.
In this way, one person was confused, one was helpless, and one was crying non-stop until dawn.
Chapter 62: God of Life
“There’s actually nothing more to it.”
"When it was daybreak, since Dong Muge had no way to leave, I could only leave some food and water for her and let her stay at the edge of the valley to see if I could find a way to go back and save her later."
"Irene sent her back to Greygold Town. There are servants waiting for her there. I don't need to take care of her anymore. I didn't expect this girl to be the daughter of Count Maltz. No wonder she has such a poor mental state but such a high level of magic."
Finally, Ye Xiao put an end to this long adventure story.
Everyone in the Liangqiuling spiritual link fell into deep thought.
"Hmm...what you said is somewhat similar to a story I read in a book." Lilia stroked her chin and thought for a long time before speaking slowly.
"Book?" Ye Xiao was a little curious.
"It's an old book, a biography of an unknown doctor." Lilia's purple eyes moved, and she seemed to be reminiscing. "He said that he once came to a place called 'Immortal Land' while practicing medicine. The people there seemed to be forever young. Grandpa, father, and son all looked the same young. However, the people there could not leave their hometown no matter what."
"As long as you try to leave, cracks will appear on your body. The farther you are from your hometown, the more your body will disintegrate."
"It does look a bit like... Could it be the place where another god's body fell?" Ye Xiao asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, why is this god so special? The impact after his fall seems to be much more exaggerated than other gods I have seen and heard of."
"The product of reproduction, plus the tomb where the body is buried... To be honest, the only possibility that comes to my mind is the rumored God of Life." Lilia looked at Ella, "The Lord God may know these things better than me."
Huh? I know why am I asking you?
Ella coughed twice in a pretentious manner and said, "No problem. Tell me your guess, Miss Lilia."
Lilia bowed respectfully. "Then I will do it for you, Lord God. If there is any offense or error, your faithful believer prays for your correction and forgiveness."
This girl, worthy of being a princess, is quite serious when she speaks seriously, it would be nice if she could be that serious at other times, Ella complained in her heart.
"In fact, in the first copy of the lecture notes on the God of Light stored in the royal family, the author called the God of Light the God of Light and Life." Lilia said slowly, "But in subsequent lecture notes, this name became the God of Light."
"In fact, when observing the temples of the gods, you may also find that all elements in the world correspond to the authority of the gods served by each temple. There is the Sun Temple corresponding to the sun god who controls the sun and fire, the Ocean Temple corresponding to the water god who controls rivers and oceans, the Earth Temple that controls the earth and plants, the Night Temple that controls mystery, darkness and death, and so on."
"But there is no temple related to life."
"Shouldn't life be the authority of the God of Light?" Ye Xiao took the opportunity to ask, "Just like the Holy Light spell can heal wounds, this feeling should be the power of the God of Light."
"Yes... and no." Lilia smiled and said, "The current holy light spell actually contains incomplete remnants of the authority of life. The earliest God of Light should have a more complete authority of life... Of course, this part is my guess based on the differences between different versions of the temple handouts of several generations, as well as some historical records. It may not be correct."
[Mission: Ancient Tomb (Progress 7%)]
Ye Xiao suddenly discovered that the progress of the "Ancient Tomb" on the task panel had increased.
Wait, the things I speculate can also increase progress! ? Shit, doesn't that mean this guy is right?
Ye Xiao's eyes widened slightly.
"Combined with what Miss Irene said in Mr. Ye's story, there are two possibilities. One is that the God of Life fell, and the God of Light gained some of his authority. The other is that the God of Life is a part of the God of Light, but he fell alone for unknown reasons."
"Huh? This god can be divided into two halves, one dead and the other alive?" Ye Xiao was puzzled, and then looked at Ella unconsciously.
"I'm not sure about that," Lilia shrugged. "But I'm more inclined to the latter. After all, in the earliest version of the lecture notes, the God of Light was called the God of Light and Life. I think the change in the name contains a lot of information."
"Um... I would also like to add something," Old Man Hyde, who had been listening for a while, suddenly said, "In my family history, there seems to be a small part that talks about the belief in the God of Life."
"... Your family once believed in the God of Life?" Lilia was surprised. "Hiss, what you said reminds me. The decline of the Miracle Master family has always been a mystery. The reason spread by the outside world is the suppression of the Aslan royal family, but in fact, a family that can master the laws of time and space is definitely not something that can be suppressed by a simple royal struggle. But if it is a family that believes in the God of Life..."
"I don't know about that either. To be honest, if it weren't for what happened in Liangqiu Village, I would have always thought that my family was just a small, unknown family." Hyde sighed, "Most of the family books are not well preserved. There is only one book in a broken box that my father left me that mentioned the words God of Life. I just remembered it now that you mentioned it."
"What is recorded in the book?" Ye Xiao had a subtle premonition.
In fact, he already had that premonition after seeing the tentacles in the Howling Mountains that were exactly the same as the ones in Ella's stomach.
"Some, uh, sacrificial rituals and so on. I don't understand a lot of them." Hyde scratched his head and tried to recall. "But on some contract spells with unclear conditions, the name of the contracted party is sometimes written."
"The true name of the god!?" Lilia's crystal eyes widened. "Your family records record the true name of the God of Life?"
No wonder she was so surprised. Just as the God of Light was simply called "the God of Light" in the church lectures instead of having a name like other gods, this was even more so for the mysterious God of Life, who was only circulated in a very small number of classics.
"Let me think..." Hyde scratched his head, "'Haye', I think that's what it's called."
Ella on the side silently opened the character panel and looked at the words "Lydia Haye" on her player name, and her heart was moved.
Haye's daughter... She remembered that in her previous life, the blasphemous saint called herself this when she used her ultimate move before her sudden death.
Chapter 63: God and Saint (End of Volume 1)
"This is the first time I've heard this name..." Lilia paced back and forth, "Mr. Hyde, I feel that your family definitely does more than just 'believe' in the God of Life."
"To use the true name of God in contract spells, at least the family that serves God is qualified."
That makes sense! Ye Xiao was also enlightened by Lilia's words.
The Tomb of the Miracle Magician... that's not the Tomb of the Miracle Magician at all.
That is the tomb where part of the body of the God of Life is buried. Therefore, the miracle magician should be guarding that tomb. This may be the reason why there is a legacy of miracle magicians there.
But Irene seemed to have said that her family also guarded that tomb?
Two families guarding together?
