Actually, this was a cliché story.
Ten years ago.
There was a mountain called the Fire God Mountain.
There was a village called the Land of Firelands.
The climate here was hot, but it wasn't so gray. Instead, the vegetation was lush and hot springs were everywhere. It was a tourist attraction.
But suddenly, one day, a terrifying monster came to the vicinity.
[Dragon].
Dragon, entrenched in the volcano. Its existence turned the extinct volcano into an active one. The temperature rose sharply, and everything withered.
Moreover, the dragon would fly out of the volcano regularly to look for food and wreak havoc everywhere. Countless villagers in the Land of Firelands died.
Gradually, because the climate became bad, tourists were unwilling to come, and the Land of Firelands declined. No one cared about it.
After all, tourists came here to sightsee, and no one wanted to risk their lives.
On the other side of the volcano, there was a powerful empire called the Kingdom of Amala on the [Giant God Beast Bloss], very far away from here.
The Amala Kingdom had sent an army to try to suppress this demon, but in the end, they returned without any results.
Anyway, the Fire God Mountain was far from their country, so the Amala Kingdom pretended not to see it and turned a blind eye.
In the end, the Land of Firelands, a tourist village built on the mountain, suffered.
The Land of Firelands was a village with ancient traditions. In addition to believing in the god "Uranus," they also believed in "Bolos" and respected him as the Fire God.
Every village chief called himself the "Kage of the Land of Firelands," or … Hokage for short.
The previous Hokage, together with the previous Miko, Kikyo's mother, decided to suppress the evil dragon entrenched in the Fire God Mountain.
Kikyo's childhood friend and childhood playmate also came with her. According to Han Meimei, he was handsome beyond words, and he always said, "I am the man who is destined to be the Hokage." Yaksha was the beautiful young man who always said, "I am the man who is destined to become the Hokage."
Before Han Meimei finished, Irin had already guessed the ending of the story.
"They're all dead, right?"
Han Meimei and Li Lei instantly widened their eyes.
"Esu-sama, h-h-how did you know?"
Was there a need to guess?
This kind of cliché story, where the ending could be guessed at the beginning, had no surprises except for completing the world's setting.
In Han Meimei's sad context, if she suddenly said that the previous Hokage suddenly burst into a small universe, slaughtered the dragon, and cut it into pieces and skewered it into meat skewers.
This ending might even surprise Irin. She felt that this was an excellent script full of twists and turns.
Which lousy producer wrote this script?
Irin secretly complained.
Combined with his identity as a hero, wouldn't it be like a hero fighting against an evil dragon?
Irin sat in front of Han Meimei and Li Lei for a while after learning about the background story of the Land of the Firelands. However, the pleasant tinkling did not come as expected.
Irin did not receive the mission as expected.
This time, he was a little surprised.
"It's already so clear, why isn't there a quest prompt? Why? Could it be that the hidden side quests in the Land of the Firelands must be announced by Kikyo himself? " Irin pondered for a while, then narrowed his eyes and casually asked, "Oh right, I'm a little curious. My lifelong friend, Blacksmith Ge, is the one who hides in the little dark room all day to forge iron. You guys know him, right? My best friend, he mentioned something. "
Irin sat up straight and glanced at Han Meimei and Li Lei, "He said that the 'Fire God Ritual' is about to begin."
Han Meimei and Li Lei quickly looked at each other.
"Miko-sama said that the 'Fire God Ritual' cannot be mentioned to outsiders."
After a moment of silence, Li Lei took a step forward and said.
Irin smiled, "I'm not an outsider. Blacksmith Ge is my good friend! We fought together in the past, faced thousands of soldiers and horses together, climbed over walls together, and jumped into the sea together. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. He's right next door. "
After speaking the truth for once, Yi Lin's tone changed as she waved at the two of them. "But since you two treat me as an outsider, then forget it. It's fine, it's really fine. I won't be angry or sad. Anyway, I'm just casually asking. I don't care too much about it. "
"Also, I'm leaving in a few days."
Han Meimei pursed her lips and her eyes flashed.
Gouzi pretended to be harmless, licking his face and wagging his tail.
The room was completely silent.
Only the breathing of the three people and the sound of Gouzi wagging his tail could be heard.
After a moment of silence.
Han Meimei raised her head, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes as she said: "Since the death of the previous Hokage-sama and the previous Miko-sama, Kikoe-sama has been very depressed. She became the current Miko-sama ten years ago. After becoming the Miko-sama, Kikyo sama entered the 'Fire God Mountain' … "
"Meimei!"
When Li Lei heard that Han Meimei seemed to be telling the whole truth, he couldn't help but grab Han Meimei's arm to prevent her from saying the rest.
"Do you want to see your sister die with your own eyes?"
"Meimei! Shut up! I'm doing this for the village! "
"For the village, must Li Nali die?!"
Han Meimei retorted.
Li Lei's expression instantly withered as if he was struck by lightning.
Han Meimei ignored Li Lei's dissuasion and said loudly, "After that day, Miko-sama personally entered the Fire God Mountain and asked the Fire God to appear and destroy the evil dragon!"
"Ah?"
Irin's expression was slightly stunned.
Ah?
It can't be, right?
Irin was a bit confused.
After listening to the beginning of this old story, he guessed the ending, but he never expected that the second season of [The Hero Fights the Evil Dragon – The Second Season] would unfold like this.
"The dragon died?"
Han Meimei nodded vigorously. "Miko-sama's determination moved the Fire God, and he personally destroyed the 'dragon'. But after that day, Miko-sama and the Fire God signed a contract. Every year, Miko-sama must choose a 'bride' and personally send her to the Fire God Mountain to serve the Fire God for the rest of her life. This is the price for asking the gods to act. "
"This is the 'Fire God's Sacrifice'."
Irin didn't comment on the second part of the story. His gaze was calm as he looked at Li Lei and asked, "This year's sacrifice … uh, no, bride, is your sister?"
At first, he wanted to stop Han Meimei, but later, he gave up. Li Lei, who was silent, had an ugly expression as he squeezed out a word.
"Yes!"
"Li Nali?"
"Yes." Li Lei lowered his head again.
Han Meimei added, "Li Nali is my … bestie!"
Irin pondered for a moment and asked with a faint smile, "Did any of you see the dragon's corpse with your own eyes?"
Han Meimei shook her head. "How is that possible! If the gods act, the dragon's corpse will definitely not be left. "
"When does the Fire God's Sacrifice begin?"
"Every year at this time, there will be a 'gray rain' around the Fire God Mountain. This is the Fire God's warning that it is time to offer the 'bride'. The gray rain will last for a whole month. Miko-sama will choose a day to hold a grand ceremony in the village to bathe and change the bride's clothes before personally sending her to the Fire God Mountain. "
"I see."
Irin roughly understood.
Han Meimei and Li Lei looked at Irin with different gazes.
Irin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, thank you for sharing the bedtime story with me. I'm going to sleep. You can leave first. See you tomorrow."
"Ah???"
Han Meimei and Li Lei were shocked when they saw Yi Lin show them the door with a flip of his hand.
Irin asked with a smile, "You don't think that I will do anything, right? Don't think too much. I'm a friendly engineer. I won't mess around with your Fire God's Sacrifice. "
In the end, Han Meimei and Li Lei left with complicated expressions.
From the beginning to the end, there was no exclamation mark above the two NPCs' heads.
It was as if they were really just chatting about loneliness.
"So it's this kind of setting."
Irin changed into a clean bathrobe and soaked in the hot spring. He took out his "tools" and the Revolver of Death and meticulously carved crisscrossing patterns on the Revolver of Death.
"This game is really interesting."
…
…
At the same time.
A transparent membrane ball of light slowly floated over from the depths of the sea of clouds.
Pop … The membrane broke!
"We're finally here!"
Li Erpang immediately climbed ashore with a long face.
Only ghosts knew what they had experienced in the sea of clouds in a ball.
Xiao Chuer said with a straight face, "I just want to find a place to take a bath."
Ning You sighed, "Plus one."
After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at Bloss.
"The air seems a little stuffy."
Ning You and Xiao Chuer habitually checked the surroundings to see if it was safe.
"After all, it's a giant divine beast of fire. There's nothing strange about Bloss."
Ning You laughed.
At this moment, Xiao Chuer's expression changed slightly. She took out a small bottle from her arms.
It was filled with water.
What was amazing was that in the water in the bottle, there was a mini fish beauty with long pink hair. It swam slowly in the bottle and looked around curiously.
"Yo! Romia-chan! Long time no see! "
Li Erpang wanted to go up and curry favor, but he didn't expect a tall figure to appear behind Li Erpang out of thin air. A palm as big as a cattail leaf fan pressed on little Fatso's round head.
"Master Er Pang, please have some self-respect."
Li Erpang instantly withered.
"Romia, where is the village you mentioned?"
Ning You looked at the mini mermaid in the bottle and asked.
This was the only mission they had yet to complete in the Mermaid Kingdom.
[Side Mission: The Mermaid's Wedding.]
[Mission Objective: Find Romia's lover, Kenai, and witness their wedding in the Asim Village of the giant divine beast Bloss.]
The mission reward was experience and gold coins.
There was also an item called [Tears of the Mermaid].
Time Limit: None.
Although it was only a side mission, since they had come to Bloss, Ning You and the others planned to do it while they were at it.
Killing monsters and completing missions was a necessary quality for every elite player.
It was because this mission had no time limit that they delayed it until the end.
They had to come to Bloss sooner or later anyway.
Arranging the mission route reasonably was also a necessary quality for elite players.
Romia looked around for a while in the bottle, and her expression was slightly disappointed. A sweet voice came from the bottle filled with water.
"Romia doesn't know either."
"Kenai used to be an outstanding salvage officer in the sea of clouds. When Romia was still young, she secretly rode 'bubbles' out to play, but she didn't expect that she couldn't go back. Once mermaids leave the water for too long, they will completely turn into bubbles, become 'clouds', and disappear from this world. "
"At that time, Kenai saved Romia. Not only did he not hurt Romia, but he also brought Romia to the 'white beach'. There was a small lake on the white beach, and it was very beautiful there! Every time Romia sang, Kenai would run out of the village, sit on the stone, and quietly listen to Romia sing. "
Romia recalled the sweet love story, and her cheeks blushed shyly.
Xiao Chuer was speechless. "Why does this game give out sweets whenever there's a disagreement? It's the rhythm of torturing single dogs to death."
Ning You smiled and glanced at Xiao Chuer. "Oh, you're single?"
Xiao Chuer laughed and said, "Don't worry, I like handsome men."
Li Erpang's head was pressed by Divine Sword Susu, but he courted disaster by pointing at his chubby face and echoed, "Beauty, have you considered the less obvious handsome type?"
Crack.
Divine Sword Susu expressionlessly clenched her five fingers, and Li Erpang immediately cried out in pain.
After a short interruption, Ning You returned to business. "Let's stop joking. According to the current information, that village shouldn't be difficult to find. If Romia's singing can reach the village, that means that the village should be near the 'white beach'. Once we find the white beach, it shouldn't be difficult to find that village. "
Xiao Chuer agreed with Ning You's reasoning.
But she quickly put away the small bottle containing Romia, then took out the communication crystal and smiled.
"There's another more important thing. We have to hurry up and contact him."
