Surprise Hotel
Chapter 317 The Test of the Holy Sword
After starting the wayfinding, the four headed north.
After walking out of the dark forest, a few people saw a beam of light rushing into the sky from a distance.
"The system prophecy book says that it is the afterglow of the glazed fire and the light of the holy sword." Walking on the road, Xia Nuo raised his head and said, "It's so beautiful."
"Speaking of which, I still like the kind of fairy online games. You can fly with swords and watch the mountains and rivers." Lu Xing said, looking at Ning Wuyi, "What on earth do you think, why do you want to create this kind of turtle? Mao Knight online games."
"Xianxia online games are everywhere, aren't you bored? I am unique."
"Just make such a half-hearted thing in a unique style? Other people's games can see the beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. You are not good, it is a dark jungle, and what wasteland light..."
"Don't you think that on the vast expanse of plains, there is a beam of light rising into the sky breaking the rules. Is this kind of picture very artistic?"
"It's really hard to understand." Lu Xing frowned.
"Science men really don't understand romance." Ning Wuyi muttered, "Sister Xia Nuo, do you think it's beautiful."
"Yeah. It's a bit like a sunset over a long river, majestic and desolate." Xia Nuo nodded.
"Uh, this..." Lu Xing scratched his head, "Well, may the Holy Light be with you."
He really didn't know what to say, so he picked up a second line that he had remembered when he was doing anime.
For some reason, this sentence came in surprisingly in this empty and grand scene.
The road to the north is very long, maybe because they are afraid that they are boring and have no game experience, the system pops up many side missions.
The four cleared the little monsters to practice leveling. When they reached lv15, they finally reached the position of the holy light.
Looking closer, the beam of light was shocking and sacred.
Even the dilapidated small village under the beam of light became solemn because of the shroud of glory.
[Under the blessing of the Holy Light, the village is still dilapidated and desolate.In the darkness, there seems to be a strange breath enveloped in the village, please help the village to restore its vitality.]
[Main task: Exploring the truth of the holy sword.]
After reading the system prompts, the four walked into the village with doubts.
The surrounding fields are barren and the houses are dilapidated.
No one can be seen on the streets of the village. It is clearly daytime, but the house is closed. I don't know what happened.
"Could it be possible that everyone here has moved away?" Xianuo looked around.
"It doesn't look like it," Lu Xing said."But where did everyone go?"
"There is a voice over there!" Yuan Ling suddenly pointed to Shengguang and said.
"Go, go and take a look!" Lu Xing said, leading the way toward the light source of the holy light.
When they got closer, the four of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.
A black silhouette of people all bowed before the sword in the stone that emits holy light, their expressions pious.
A mysterious man in a black robe stood beside the sword in the stone, dragging a huge crystal ball in his hand, and muttering words.
"It seems that this is the reason why the alleys are empty." Lu Xing said.
"These people don't manage the farmland, so they don't have a good life. They all come here to worship a sword that shines?" Xia Nuo puzzled.
"It's because of the person holding the crystal ball." Yuan Ling said, "His crystal ball is very special and it seems to be an incredible prop."
"Pretending to be a god..." Lu Xing rushed forward.
In the end, Xia Nuo grabbed him.
"Look at the doorway first, don't act rashly."
"I remember the settings here are reversed." Ning Wuyi reminded.
"I can tell at a glance that the guy with the crystal ball is not a good person. Gathering a group of people here will make it difficult to live a good life without farming, and it will be like a cult." Lu Xing said with a gloomy face, "He is 80% deceptive. wizard."
Ning Wuyi looked at him with an expression that was guessed.
"Well, you are right."
"But I think the difficulty is not the identity of the other party, but how we should persuade the villagers to liberate from their ignorance. Once these people are deceived, it is easy to listen to what they believe in. If we raise objections, we will definitely be attacked by groups. "Xianuo said calmly.
"Then we..." Lu Xing and Xia Nuo looked at each other.
"Take a closer look."
"it is good."
The four managed to find some coarse cloths wrapped around them and mixed into the crowd.
The mysterious man in the black robe was beside the sword in the stone, grabbing into the light, and then throwing it towards the crowd. Suddenly, a burst of fluorescence fell and sprinkled on everyone's heads.
Everyone bowed down religiously.
"Really, some people believe in this kind of mentally handicapped trick?" Lu Xing was really hard to understand, but he still bent down.
"It is estimated that these villagers have been deceived too deeply." Xianuo said, "When a person trusts another person unconditionally, he will believe whatever he says."
"It's really like love." Lu Xing added.
Xia Nuo curled his lips and twisted him.
"You are all the proud children of the heavens under the blessing of the Holy Light, and you are all believers of God!" The black robes danced, "You have bathed in the Holy Light. As long as you understand the paladin spirit, you will all become the greatest knights of this era. , Become a follower of God!"
"Long live the Paladin!" The villagers shouted.
"This is too second." Lu Xingshun said.
After speaking, he regretted it, because the voice was too abrupt, and everyone looked at him.
"I... we want to be loyal to the Paladin!" He changed his words on the spot.
"Be loyal to the Paladin!" the villagers shouted.
Lu Xing had a speechless expression, cursing these silly forks in his heart.
"This time, we still follow the usual practice to choose people who can obtain the qualifications of knights! We have to draw a group of people up, as long as we can draw this sword, we can get a place to be sent to the Paladin Guild!" said the black robe .
The villagers raised their hands one after another, "Choose me, choose me!"
Shanuo pulled an old man next to him and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, you are so old, are you here to run for the Paladin?"
"That's right! The envoy said that everyone believes in chivalry, and you can become a paladin regardless of age! In our village, a group of people have been sent to the paladin guild, and it is said that they have all come out!" The old man's voice was hoarse. .
"Good fellow, who is going to run for the Paladin at such a young age, isn't that crazy Don Quixote?" Ning Wuyi thought.
"Hey? Don Quixote, I know, the old madman who used the sword to chop the windmill?" Lu Xing continued.
"Anyway, it's ridiculous!" Ning Wuyi said, "Whether this old man can lift a sword will be another question."
"Did those who made it come back later?" Xianuo asked.
"I'm already out there, what are you doing back to this remote place? If it's you, will you come back?" the old man asked back.
Xia Nuo was startled and did not answer.
She seemed to understand why the fields were barren and unmaintained. When she first entered here, she felt that the village was deserted.
Everyone holds whimsical, unrealistic ideas, and the original life will naturally be abandoned.
"The long-haired young man in the second row, please come and accept the test of the holy sword!" The black-robed man on the stage suddenly pointed and selected a young man.
The young man came to the sword in the stone with excitement.
I saw him holding the hilt in both hands and then pulling it up.
The light burst instantly, and the sword was suddenly pulled out of the stone.
The young man's hands trembled with excitement and tears filled his eyes.
"Awesome! You are recognized by the holy sword!" The black-robed man pressed the young man's hand and pushed the sword back into the stone.
"I am going to be a Paladin! I am going to be a Paladin!" the young man shouted excitedly.
"Very well, after the next pilgrimage is over, you come back to the Paladin Guild with me."
"Long live the Paladin!" The young man ran off the stage and hugged his family.
"Next, all of us have a chance. Let's do this, the old man in the last row! You, that's you! The paladin spirit doesn't care about age!" The black robe man suddenly kept talking to Xianuo.
"Me?" The old man choked with excitement, "The Holy Envoy finally chose me to draw the sword in the stone!"
The old man walked forward tremblingly, watching him take those two steps, Lu Xing and others were worried that he would accidentally trip and fall unconsciously.
The old man held the sword in the stone with both hands, gritted his teeth and pulled it up.
But even after exhausting all his strength, it still cannot be pulled out.
"Why, why is it like this!" The old man looked at his hands in disbelief.
"It's a pity that you may not be religious enough, but the Holy Light still protects you. Please go back, old man." The black robe man asked the old man to return.
"Am I destined to not be a paladin..." The old man returned unwillingly, tears raging.
"It's a hell to be a knight." Lu Xing said to the ground, "This liar still has a conscience and knows not to cheat the old man."
"Maybe I think the old man is useless," Ning Wuyi said.
"Next! The strong man in the back row, please come forward and accept the test of the holy sword!" The black robe man pointed his finger to Lu Xing's body.
