"Thank you, Sir Hero."
Inside the shrine.
Kikyo bowed deeply to Irin.
Whoosh.
Her reputation in the Land of the Firelands increased to [Worship].
"Actually, it's not that difficult to gain reputation, right?"
Irin looked at the large number of green names in front of her and whispered.
Why was Fatty Li so awesome that he even forgot his own surname just because he got "respect" from the Mermaid Kingdom?
Kikyo raised her head. Her eyes were swollen, and her sclera was still bloodshot.
After crying all night, the swelling in her eyes couldn't go down easily.
But after crying, Kikyo seemed to have completely let go of the knot in her heart. She looked like a new person, no longer cold and gloomy, with a natural smile on her face.
"Sir Hero, you're right."
"I don't need a reason to live."
"Perhaps, this village will be the reason for Kikyo's survival."
Irin waved her hand. After completing the mission, Irin had stayed here long enough. It was time for Irin to leave.
Kikyo also gave a hand-drawn "Bolos Map" to Irin.
On the map, every demon area and the location of human gathering places were clearly marked.
The beautiful handwriting on the map was clear and legible.
It seemed to be the handwriting of Kikyo.
When the map was spread out, Irin could even smell the body fragrance from Kikyo.
Kikyo didn't seem to have any other treasures that she could give.
Her most precious longbow, Irin didn't know how to use it, so she might as well give it up.
Irin killed two [Six Evil Generals] in a row, and the gold reward alone was close to 200,000. After her wallet became rich, Irin's style of doing things became more unyielding.
Lack of potions?
Buy!
Lack of equipment?
Buy!
In short, she didn't lack money!
After the death of the [Male Fire Dragon – Yaksha] in the volcano, the source of ashes disappeared, and there would no longer be ashes floating in this area.
The scene of flying ashes and desolation completely became a thing of the past.
Just as the prophecy that Uranus left behind for Kikyo predicted, the arrival of the Irin had completely ended their sins and redeemed them.
Afterwards, Kikyo decided that even if she no longer needed to find sacrifices to send to the Fire God Mountain, she still wanted to pass down the custom of the "Fire God Sacrifice".
She decided to pass down this story in the form of a ballad.
Of course, the main characters of the ballad were no longer the Vulcan and the bride.
Instead, it was Dog Hero.
Ah, no, it was a brave man and a dog.
Irin didn't care about Kikyo's decision.
It was just a game anyway.
It was hard to say whether he would have the chance to return to this village in the future.
However, the only thing that Irin had left in this village was the clear hot spring and the well-serviced hot spring hotel.
If there was a chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to come back to this hot spring village for a holiday.
Before Irin and Heavenly Emperor Wang left, the entire village sent them off.
Li Nali had not fully recovered yet. With Li Lei's help, they arrived at the entrance of the village.
Li Lei bowed deeply to Irin. "Thank you, Lord Hero!"
Han Meimei quietly wiped her tears.
Irin chuckled. "To put it bluntly, you guys already knew my identity, but you guys pretended not to know. It's been hard on you guys. Your acting skills are not bad! "
Li Lei and Han Meimei were speechless.
"Goodbye."
Blacksmith Ge carried his backpack and hammer and silently followed behind Irin.
After being separated, Blacksmith Ge once again became a good neighbor, good friend, and commentator NPC to the players.
Irin didn't turn back.
After such a short time together, Irin also felt reluctant to part with this village.
…
After walking for some distance, Irin took out the map that Kikyo had drawn herself. The moment the map was spread out, a light and elegant fragrance wafted over.
"The Kingdom of Amala is in this direction."
Kikyo's kind reminder before they parted seemed to be echoing in Irin's ears.
"Lord Hero, the Kingdom of Amala is under the influence of the Church.
Kikyo doesn't know why the Church would want you, Lord Hero, but Kikyo believes that you are definitely not the 'devil' they mentioned.
Whether it's a misunderstanding or some other reason, Kikyo hopes that you, Lord Hero, will be careful when you arrive in the Kingdom of Amala.
"Platycodon wishes you the best of luck."
Irin was speechless.
How much dirty water did the Church pour on her!
…
…
At night.
The moonlight was clear.
Yasim Village.
"What? You said that the Kinai we are looking for is your grandfather??? "
Li Erpang was dumbfounded.
Ning You and Xiao Chuer were also stunned.
They didn't expect this to happen.
Kinai's house.
The door was surrounded by villagers.
If Li Erpang and the others hadn't saved them from the tentacles of [Sea Monster – Kuragon] not long ago, they would have carried their weapons and kicked out these bastards who brought mermaids into the village.
The reputation value of Yasim Village dropped rapidly.
But the three of them couldn't care less.
"What's going on?"
Kinai's eyes were filled with fear.
He glanced at his grandmother from time to time.
That was the first wife of his grandfather, Kinai.
His grandmother had been in the village since he was young, telling strange stories about mermaids.
In the legends, mermaids were evil creatures.
Their appearances were like fairies, and their figures were coveted. But their singing could lure people to fall into the depths of the sea of clouds and sink into eternal oblivion.
"You … are Romiya?"
The old woman's voice trembled slightly. The moment she saw Romiya, she seemed to have aged a lot in just a second.
"You are …"
After Romiya learned that the little Kinai in front of her was the grandson of the old Kinai, she was so sad that she didn't know how to respond. She looked at the old woman blankly, not knowing what to do.
The old woman took out a small box from under the bed.
After opening it, there was a rusty key inside.
She handed the key to little Kinai, closed her eyes, and didn't answer any questions. She just said, "Take them to the back of the mountain."
…
The innocent little Kinai could only take them to the back of the mountain of Yasim Village.
Romiya was in the water bottle, her expression sorrowful.
"Romiya forgot that to the eternal life of mermaids, a mere hundred years of human life is just a moment."
"Romiya has always been waiting for Kinai. She didn't expect that to a human, so much time had passed."
At this point, Ning You already understood the general outline of the plot.
This was a sad story.
Humans and mermaids were destined not to be together.
"But how are we going to complete our mission?"
Ning You wasn't so sentimental. He instantly thought of this point.
But Xiao Chuer was a woman, and a woman could understand another woman best.
Her eyes were also red, and she wiped them from time to time. She comforted Romiya in the water bottle in a low voice, saying that there were plenty of other fish in the sea, and there was no need to fall in love with a dead blade of grass and so on.
Hearing Xiao Chuer's comfort, Romiya cried even more miserably.
Kinai walked in front.
"The back of the mountain of our village is also called Soul Return Bay. Our ancestors have been buried here for generations. "
"When I was young, I once heard my grandmother talk about Grandfather Kinai's story. She said that when he was young, he met a mermaid … "At this point, Kinai cautiously glanced at Romiya, swallowed, and paused for a moment before continuing.
"At that time, Grandfather and Grandmother were already engaged. But after Grandfather met a mermaid, he became absent-minded all day long. From time to time, he would run to the white beach in the middle of the night and listen to the mermaid's song. It was as if he had become another person. From that day on, the story spread in the village that Grandfather Kinai's soul had been taken away by the mermaid. "
"Later, Grandfather Kinai built a small wooden house in Soul Return Bay. According to Grandmother, he shut himself in the wooden house all day long and didn't see anyone. Until one day, Grandfather died in his wooden house, laughing. From that day on, Grandmother began to tell stories about mermaids in the village and locked up the wooden house. "
Romiya: "…"
Ning You recalled what he had seen and heard along the way.
He understood now.
No wonder the water on the white beach had dried up.
No wonder the surrounding scenery was so different from Romiya's impression.
So everything had already changed. Things remained the same, but people had changed.
Li Erpang was puzzled: "What treasure was in the wooden house?"
Most places with locks in games usually had treasure chests. Li Erpang instantly thought of this.
Little Kinai shook his head: "I don't know either. That was many years ago."
While little Kinai was telling them this story, they had already followed the path without monsters and arrived at the Soul Return Bay in the back mountain that Grandmother Kinai had mentioned.
The Soul Return Bay was close to the sea of clouds.
Densely packed tombstones stood on the beach for a long time.
Waves of clouds rose and fell in the sea of clouds in the distance.
Some of these tombstones were new, some were old, and some were even mottled with the passage of time, making it impossible to see who they were.
Surrounded by many tombstones, there was a tall slope not far away. A small wooden house about ten square meters sat quietly on the slope, its door facing the sea of clouds. No one cared about it.
"Grandfather's grave is up there."
They walked up the slope. Only then did Ning You and the other two notice that there was a sharp point on the slope that protruded into the sea of clouds.
A square tombstone covered in mottled moss was at the very end of the sharp point. The tombstone was engraved with the words "The Grave of the Deceased Kinai".
"Kinai …"
Romiya was in the water bottle. Separated by water, separated by species, separated by life and death, she gazed deeply at Kinai's tombstone. But she had thousands of things to say, but after saying a name, she was speechless, unable to say anything else.
To the side.
Ning You and Li Erpang sighed.
"Ask the world what is love …"
"It teaches a fish to live and die together." Li Erpang shook his head.
Ning You sighed again: "The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death."
Li Erpang instantly understood. He quickly said: "It's that I'm clearly standing in front of you, but I can't get on top of you?"
Get on top?
Ning You suddenly clenched his fists.
Little Kinai accidentally heard the conversation between Ning You and Li Erpang, but he didn't understand it.
He forced the rusty key into the keyhole and turned it repeatedly.
"Kacha, kacha …"
"Squeak —"
The door opened.
Li Erpang silently put away his hammer.
Seeing little Kinai struggling in front of the lock for a long time, he almost wanted to use the player's method to break the door.
No one knew how long it had been since the small wooden house was visited. The moment the door was opened, a strong musty smell rushed to their faces.
The three didn't care. They covered their noses and quickly got into the small wooden house.
The furnishings in the wooden house were very simple.
The windows were closed. There was a bed and a table inside.
In the center of the house, there was a tarpaulin covered with dust, covering an object that looked like a shelf tightly.
The three adventurers' gazes quickly swept through the house.
They didn't find any treasure chests.
The most eye-catching thing should be the mysterious object covered by the tarpaulin in the center of the house.
Xiao Chuer elbowed Ning You's waist.
Ning You understood, smiled helplessly, and went forward to lift the tarpaulin.
"Hiss —"
The moment the tarpaulin was lifted.
Everyone in the house couldn't help but suck in a breath of bad luck.
