"It's okay. I've already inquired about it. She left for a while for personal reasons. Nothing happened." Li Huailin was reporting to the Jade Emperor about Anran. Of course, he didn't say anything. He had promised Anran that he wouldn't say anything, and the Jade Emperor couldn't help him. It was useless to tell him, so he just laughed it off.
Li Huailin went online at the entrance of the main building of Selakwen City. Of course, the entire building had been destroyed. Li Huailin didn't see a single Undead soldier, which meant that the Undead army had already set off. Of course, Li Huailin had been gone for four days. There were only three days left before the one-week deadline. He estimated that they were almost at the main city of the Demons.
What surprised Li Huailin a little was that he saw some Demons looking for something in the main building. Looking at their clothes, he could tell that they were beggars. These people were really good at hiding. The Undead had been here for so many days, and they basically killed anyone they saw, but they still managed to escape. They were indeed the local tyrants. Now that the Undead army had left, they came out to scavenge.
Li Huailin randomly picked a person and walked toward him. On the way, the person also saw Li Huailin coming over. Li Huailin was wearing a black robe. The person didn't know who Li Huailin was, but he could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person just by looking at his clothes. To avoid trouble, the person turned around and started running.
"Poof!" A golden spear was directly inserted in front of the person. Of course, this was deliberately missed by Li Huailin. His purpose was just to make the person stop. Sure enough, when the spear was thrown, the Demons on the opposite side were scared stiff. Their legs went soft, and they fell to the ground.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking you a question," Li Huailin said as he walked over.
"Please … please don't kill me …" The beggar said while trembling.
"Hmm, then you'll have to answer me carefully," Li Huailin said. "Have the undead troops left?"
"Yes, yes, he has already left," the beggar said immediately.
"How long have they been gone?" Li Huailin asked.
"Two days ago at noon." The beggar answered immediately. He was afraid that Li Huailin wouldn't believe him, so he hurriedly said, "They went west. I saw them leave near the city gate."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded slightly. The west was naturally the direction of the Demons' main city. They left at noon two days ago, which meant that they had set out for about a day and a half. They should not be halfway there yet, because Soudeis had told him that it would take at least three to four days to reach the main city of the Demons. So, there were still about two days before the troops could reach the main city gate of the Demons' main city.
After thinking about it, Li Huailin asked, "How many undead troops are there?"
"I don't know. They're all over the mountains and plains." The beggar was very nervous, but when he saw Li Huailin frown, he felt that his answer was not good enough. However, he really couldn't answer clearly. He couldn't count how many there were. After anxiously scratching his head, he answered, "Anyway, there are a lot of them."
Li Huailin frowned, thought for a moment, and changed the question. "Since the people in Selakoven were slaughtered until now, have any undead troops come to meet us?"
"Oh, yes, there are. A large group of undead soldiers came a few days ago, and they set off together to the west," the beggar answered immediately.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. It seemed that Fiona or Markham's troops had arrived at Selakoven and met up with Luke's troops. Although he didn't know how many troops there were, he guessed that it was a little more than the others.
"Let's go." Li Huailin waved his hand slightly, and the beggars on this side immediately ran away.
There were still two days left, so they weren't in a hurry. Meanwhile, Li Huailin was thinking about something very interesting.
After chatting with Liu Heyun yesterday, Li Huailin suddenly had a new understanding of the game. Now, assuming that what Liu Heyun said was true, it meant that the game wasn't created by the Tianyu Corporation. The Tianyu Corporation was still trying to figure out a way to crack the game. This meant that the game was created by someone else, such as aliens, future people, or a super ancient civilization. Assuming that all of this was true, there was now a very interesting question.
What was the Chosen One?
Yes, the Chosen One. Li Huailin had always been very curious about this title. In fact, the players were called adventurers by NPCs, and the Chosen One seemed to be a very old title. Since this title appeared, it meant that the current players were not the first batch of players to appear.
At first, Li Huailin thought that this was just a background setting. After all, he had always thought that the game was created by the Tianyu Corporation. Of course, it was impossible for players to appear earlier than them. This didn't make sense at all. However, it was different now. This game console was made at an unknown time, so the possibility of players connecting to it before them was very high. But here came the problem. What if someone really connected to the console? Who were these people?
"In the end, we don't even know the purpose of this game," Li Huailin said. "Could it be an alien game console? But this game is too earthbound. Although there's magic and battle energy, it's basically something that can be seen on Earth … What's going on? "
Li Huailin was a little curious. Of course, if he had a question, he would ask someone who understood. Speaking of the Chosen One, of course, he had to find someone who had seen or might have seen the Chosen One before. It just so happened that Li Huailin knew more than one such person.
"Dim Light, Dim Light." Li Huailin took out Dim Light and shouted.
"I'm coming, Master." Dim Light appeared beside Li Huailin in a black light. He held onto Li Huailin's shoulder and floated in the air, acting coquettishly to Li Huailin.
"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm here to ask you a question," Li Huailin said.
"What?" Dim Light tilted his head and asked.
"Have you seen the Chosen One before?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, isn't Master one?" Dim Light probably didn't understand Li Huailin's question and answered directly.
"No, no, no. I'm talking about the Chosen One." Li Huailin said, "You see, I'm an adventurer, right? The Chosen One is an ancient name, which means that the Chosen One existed in ancient times, right? You should have seen one before."
"Oh, I see." Dim Light seemed to understand what Li Huailin meant, but after some thought, he shook his head. "I haven't seen one before."
"Eh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. "Wait, didn't you say that you were one of the six swords that existed since the creation of the world? You haven't seen one before? "
"Uh, although that's the case, I spend most of my time sleeping …" Dim Light thought for a while and said, "You know when I wake up. First, it was Tuthmos, then Hoppes …"
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Let me confirm, there were no Chosen Ones in Tuthmos' era?"
"Yes." The dim light on the other side nodded.
"Is it the same here?" Li Huailin looked at Root, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"The time I'm awake is even less," Root said. Next to him, [Root added, "In fact, it was only that one time, and at that time, there were no longer any Chosen Ones."
"In other words, the Chosen Ones had already disappeared from the mainland before the Titans were exterminated." Li Huailin nodded. "This is going to be a little troublesome. These human history books are definitely deceptive. They can't even clearly record what happened a hundred years ago, let alone something that happened a thousand years ago. It's really not easy to find someone who's still alive now … "
"Maybe those fake gods know what's going on," Dim Light suddenly said.
"Fake gods?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "You mean the God of Light and those gods?"
"Yes." Dim Light nodded. "They must have lived through that era, and the time they slept was much shorter than us, so they should have seen these Chosen Ones."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Speaking of gods … I seem to know one too, but what's his name again?"
Li Huailin had really forgotten what his patron's name was, but fortunately, he had the system's help. He clicked on his status bar, looked at his patron's name, and shouted, "Saint Gaius? Saint Gaius? "
With a "ding", a golden light flashed, and a figure appeared behind Li Huailin. Li Huailin did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Saint Gaius's appearance seemed a lot more gorgeous now. Could it be because he leveled up?
"I'm here, dear. Why didn't you call me for so long?" Saint Gaius shouted as soon as he appeared. "And I told you to call me Jared … Huh? Who are they? "
Saint Gaius, who had just appeared, quickly realized that Li Huailin was not alone. He looked at Dim Light and the Origin Source, who were standing beside Li Huailin and holding Li Huailin's hands. Saint Gaius's expression changed, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt that the two women were a little strange.
"Wait, who are you two?" Saint Gaius's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked Dim Light and the Origin Source in a questioning tone.
"Tsk, just a little fake god. How dare she ask for our names?" Dim Light tossed her head and said, "She's got guts. Master, kill her."
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin hurriedly said, "Let's have a good talk first, okay?"
