Chapter 13 The 2st Fish
Chapter 13 The 2st Fish
After Li An said this, there was no further text. No one wanted to pass the time by chatting during the short breakfast time, and they didn't have more leisure time to discuss whether they could really get out of this game. The problem that should be considered, the top priority is to solve the breakfast——
Fish was added to most of the breakfast, and there were only a few small pieces of pitiful black bread. Everyone cleverly avoided any food with fish on the table, but such a small amount of bread could not fill everyone's stomachs.
The little newcomer has always been loyal to talking to Li An. He tried to ask more about the content and rules of the game, which may be the reason why Li An's attitude has always been good, and Li An also patiently answered them one by one.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything about it, and just chuckled a few times.
He has seen this kind of situation too much in the game, and most of the rookies who are sold have no idea how they were sold.
Li An kindly reminded the newcomer a few words.
Just as their breakfast was about to end, the nun in black returned and explained all the rules to them earnestly, with a smile on her face.
"So we can't go out when it's close, so aren't we restricted to one place and not allowed to move? Sister Yun?" The newcomer claimed to be Xu Chunlai, a student.
The girl in black who returned announced some of the most understandable rules - the curfew time is from 07:30 pm to [-]:[-] am, and it is forbidden to leave her room during this period. One of the three rooms will do.It is forbidden to leave the Baptistery after sunset at [-] p.m.
"Sister Yun, I think that woman just now may not be the one who picked me up at the beginning." Xu Chunlai said, Xiao Xinyi lowered her voice, "I don't know why, but that woman gave me a very strange feeling. You haven't been close, don't know, but I was thrown in the hand by that woman, I know it's not her."
Hao Yun smiled, "Isn't this normal? We don't know how many NPCs there are, maybe they are just copied and pasted from the game."
Li An wanted to find the item for his blessing, and gave it to the nun before the task, that is, before dinner, so that she could catch up with the baptism on the seventh day.
Of course, Hao Yun wanted to see what these so-called baptism gifts were, perhaps because both of them were new players on the first day of joining, and Xu Chunlai took the initiative to say hello to her—even if it was a single-player mission, but Their mission progress so far is the same.
Compared with the middle-aged and young people, the two of them stood at the same starting point, so Xu Chunlai would not suffer a lot when dealing with her.
Li An led the two of them to a huge study room, or not a study room, but there are two rows of bookshelves, the room is very long, the table and the floor are densely piled up with things, and there are some spider webs hanging in some places , obviously no one has cleaned it for a long time.
This place has no windows, and it is located in the hinterland of the baptistery. There are only a few lingering lamps, and the light is weak and limited.There is a rough stone slab in the center of the room, and the writing on it is somewhat blurred.
Hao Yun picked up the dusty silver candlestick on the table and walked over. The few blurred words engraved on the stone slab seemed to be a prophecy of blessing.
The faint light from the candlestick illuminated the writing on it, and Hao Yun wiped off the dust on it to see what was written clearly.
[In the roar of the ocean, we saw the gods]
[The mermaid brings new life, eternity and hope]
[We are grateful, full of greed, drink the gift of God]
【We shed our scales and skin, we are baptized, and we live forever】
【We receive blessing, we receive baptism】
It was a few lines of unclear words, and the only clue might be that it mentioned mermaids.Hao Yun looked at it, feeling inexplicably chilled.
Just when they came over, they passed the corridor again, and besides the thick and unpleasant fishy smell, Hao Yun also found other things.
The place similar to the mouth of the sewer is full of water stains and exudes a strong stench.
The reason why I didn't find it before may be because the light was too dark at that time, but there was always an ominous premonition, and Hao Yun didn't know what it was.
"Are you looking at this? This is useless." Li An saw her approaching, "I have been researching for many days at this time, and there are no useful clues or mechanisms on it. It feels like a pure praise , the so-called gift of baptism."
"Did you see anything?" Hao Yun asked.
Li An shook his head and replied: "To be honest, I don't know. But it is clear that mermaids, humans, and murlocs are three different things. It is probably the narrative that mermaids saved humans... but I have never been able to figure it out. One point, unfortunately I haven't found the answer yet, I'm running out of time."
"If the rescued person represents a human being," Hao Yun said, "Do you think there will be fish scales on human beings? Shouldn't the so-called descaling and peeling be talking about murlocs?"
"Don't you think—" Li An smiled, "The people rescued by the mermaid are not humans but murlocs?"
"Don't think so much, this is just a fable of intimidation, we have no way to prove it." Ang Lee said.
"Then what are the real conditions for the same pass? You should know." Hao Yun asked.
"If you find the mermaid, you can pass the level." Li An said.
"You don't seem to be afraid at all. Tomorrow will be the seventh day." Hao Yun smiled.
"To be honest," Li An said, "Maybe you can't understand, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Then I wish you good luck." Hao Yun replied.
Hao Yun casually looked through a few blessings piled inside, most of them were old things, and there were all kinds of strange things.There is a harpoon with a fish scale pattern, which is a person's height, who doesn't know what to do, and there is also a small, shell-carved necklace.
However, all of these blessings have two characteristics. These blessings are all old things, obviously with traces of being used and left by others, and all of them are decorated with fish patterns, or fish scales engraving.
These blessings are set to be items used by others, similar to amulets, which will be carried on your body until you die after you are baptized and become an adult.Its previous owner was most likely your parents.
Very bad taste.Hao Yun thought.
Although the smell has faded away, the fishy smell is still there.Unlike the fishy smell at the mouth of the sewer, the fishy smell on the Blessed Object is so faint that it can hardly be smelled.
The smell of fish in these two places can be noticed even by ordinary people as long as they pay attention to it, but the smell of fish in the sewer can't be more obvious.
The newcomer named Xu Chunlai has been around Li An, and Li An has repeatedly selected, obviously attaching great importance to it.
Finding the mermaid is the clearance condition of this game.What does the mermaid belt refer to?No one knows.Li An can only be more careful, but she may have guessed something in her heart when she saw others successfully cleared the level.
Staying in this dimly lit room, Hao Yun had always vaguely felt that something was wrong. When she walked out, she found that the baptistery was actually not that big.
Apart from the longest one, where the blessings were stored, the largest was a baptismal room and a prayer room.The middle-aged man was praying for blessings. Hao Yun could see clearly that his leg was injured, but the injury on his leg obviously improved during the prayer.
The statue used for prayer is a huge mermaid statue. The murloc on the statue is dressed in the clothes of a saint, with light shining behind it, like a crowned god of the sea. The mermaid looks down at the middle-aged man below. , revealing incomparable divinity.
If it weren't for ignoring the tear in the corner of the statue's eye.
This mermaid statue is so lifelike, it seems that it will stretch out its hands and move its body in the next moment. Even Hao Yun stopped to take a look, but she didn't try to kneel down like a middle-aged man to pray for blessings.
Unfortunately, she didn't see anything wrong with the mermaid statue.
This is not a ghost in disguise, she didn't even feel a trace of resentment or ghostly aura, perhaps because she was called a god in the setting, she didn't notice any strangeness, it seemed that this was completely a stone statue statue.
The middle-aged man finished the ups and downs, and the injury on his leg was no longer painful, but the swelling that seemed to be injected with water was still there. The middle-aged man got up, muttered curses, turned around and left without looking at Hao Yun .
It seems that the pain-relieving effect is only temporary, as long as the wound on his leg remains, he has to go to this prayer room to pray for blessings to relieve the pain on the wound.
When the middle-aged man is ups and downs, the wound on the leg is exposed. It is obviously scratched and cracked, revealing the thick white bones inside. That part has swollen badly, like a large tumor, and it is ominous. Blue, revealing a touch of weirdness.
Still had a strong fishy smell.
Hao Yun looked up, the mermaid statue lowered its head, and their eyes met.
The mermaid statue stood silently without saying a word. At this moment, the tears in the corners of its eyes were very dazzling.
Hao Yun didn't stay long, nor did he check out the mermaid statue.
The baptismal room was locked all the year round, and no one except the nun had a key inside. The baptismal room had many windows, most of which were painted glass windows. Although they couldn’t be seen clearly, there were only a few silhouettes inside, but there That's enough.
There seems to be a huge pool inside, and a statue of a mermaid?
Hao Yun inspected the thirteen stained-glass windows, which probably described a shipwreck in which the mermaid sacrificed his life to save the human beings, and then placed them on the island.
But the last two glass paintings are very interesting. In the last chapter, the mermaid dressed in holy light becomes a well-dressed Madonna in the next chapter. The two pictures are exactly the same in terms of composition and structure.
Hao Yun spent a whole morning exploring the entire map of the dungeon.
The entire baptistery is a small island, which is not big and is full of rocks.Surrounded by the sea on all sides, the entire baptistery stands on the sea, and the edges of the reef are very steep.
Hao Yun found a place where it seemed that he could get on and off the boat, but there was only a simple wooden boat there, and there was no boat.
There is nothing on the island except this baptistery.Even the nearest small island in the so-called archipelago is only a vague and tangential outline on the sea.
It is obviously something set up to prevent players from leaving the dungeon map, and it all makes sense.
Just a little bit.
Hao Yun did not find any water source, nor did he see any trace of fresh water.
This is very wrong. Although she doesn't need this kind of thing herself, she thinks that her situation can only be regarded as a minority among players.Most of the players should be real people.
The water source is inside the baptistery?
Maybe it doesn't matter, but obviously near the sea, the smell of fish fades, replaced by the fishy smell of sea water.
This doesn't seem to matter. Since the mermaid saved people and put them on the island, the mermaid should consider what people need.
