I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

The warm and swaying firelight coated her frosty white cheeks with a golden halo. After listening to the content of their chat, Noretti couldn't help but narrow her eyes with a smile.

"Isn't this good?" she said.

Liang Yilan stared at Noretti in a daze, and then responded: "Well, it's pretty good..."

"I feel very happy now."

"Eh?"

"I'm very happy to be able to meet you and join this team, at least for now."

You no longer have to fight it all alone, but you have partners who can walk side by side to support each other. These partners follow behind the strongest person.

It seemed that all the difficulties ahead would be solved. This long-lost sense of security made Noretti feel particularly intoxicated.

"I like this atmosphere and you like this."

Liang Yilan opened her eyes slightly.

It was the first time she saw Noretti showing such a happy smile, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly at such pure beauty.

At the same time, Liang Yilan also smiled and agreed with her statement.

"Hey, I'm just like you!"

Liang Yilan took advantage of the situation and moved closer to Noretti, leaning against her shoulder to shoulder. She quietly watched Cheng Rang and others not far away who were already singing to each other in high spirits.

"Noretti, if our team clears the system game...and gets the final reward, what is your wish?"

"my wish……?"

"Didn't I say that the final reward is worth one million points and the opportunity to realize your wish?"

"Ah, that... I actually haven't thought about it."

"Really?!" Liang Yilan opened her eyes wide and moved closer to her face, as if trying to find some clues from Noretti's expression.

"Really, but if I have to say it... I hope that we can meet again in the real world in the future."

"Isn't this a very simple thing!" Liang Yilan grabbed Noretti's hand, "I live in Japan. If you can go home, just come to Osaka to find me. Chisaki Mori is in Tokyo - just stay here Give me a call!”

"But I don't speak Japanese."

"Where is Noretti from?"

"Ah, me, I'm from the Soviet Union."

Noretti confessed her real-world origins to Liang Yilan for the first time, but it made Liang Yilan

He fell into a daze and opened his mouth slightly.

"……Eh?"

"What's wrong?"

After a moment, Liang Yilan, who came to her senses after Noretti's call, shook her head vigorously: "No, it's nothing, but if I remember correctly, the Soviet Union had already declared its disintegration at the end of 1991, and I had at least reached Heisei 29—that was already more than ten years ago!”

Noretti didn't seem surprised by this, she just pursed her lips and smiled, "I know."

Even though they were summoned here from the same world, the times were different.

This means that even if they return to reality, they may never see each other again.

Noretti knew this from the process of chatting with each other when she joined the previous teams.

She looked up at the glowing red moon and murmured: "So, wanting to meet you again... is my 'wish'. "

"Whether it's you or my former friends... Only something like this that is difficult to realize can be called a wish, or a 'miracle', right?" "

But no one knows whether this miracle will happen to them.

Chapter 181 The Remains of Gokeyak Village

Chapter 1371 Chapter 181 The Remains of Gokeyak Village

Gokeyak Village is located in the Asaras Mountains. It is a small and medium-sized village. It is close to a frozen lake. It is mainly composed of wooden structure houses. The rocks are built with half-person-high stone walls. Demarcation of the boundaries of the village of Gokjak.

When Cheng Rang and others came here, they found that the well dug on the ice had been completely frozen. There was no smoke in the dark village, and it was as quiet as death.

"No one..."

The only thing that can be seen as the original appearance of the villagers here is the mummies lying on the roadside. Their limbs are scattered around the village in postures that violate the normal joint angles. Some even have lost their heads. Many corpses have... There are deep visible bone injuries.

A thin layer of snow covers the entire village and corpses that have been dead for a long time. There is no breath of life here, and all that comes on the surface is the despair and desolation brought by death.

Cheng Rang leaned over to check the body on the ground, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the thin snow on the ground nearby.

"Although the corpse has been mummified, we cannot rule out that it was the result of the mutation caused by the influence of the red moon. There were traces of battles here, and the wounds are all new."

"There was a battle...Does that mean Lux has already been here?"

"Although it is highly likely that this is the case, we cannot yet conclude that it may have been caused by other players passing by here."

Everyone decided to look around again, and if they didn't find any more clues, they would continue on their way.

Chisaki Mori, who always wanted to find treasure chests in all kinds of strange places along the way, was the one who worked the hardest. He even opened the door of every house, but except for some rotten furniture and a cold extinguished bonfire, there was nothing else. Only some shriveled and hard rotten food greeted his arrival with a unique smell.

"Sure enough, you can't find any treasures in a small village..." Chisaki Mori came back dejectedly after walking around the village and informed others that she had found nothing.

"Of course, what kind of treasures do you think there can be in a poor small village on the border of such cold mountains? Not to mention gold and silver, even glassware is rare." Erachim rarely took the initiative to join the exchange. After the outdoor barbecue party not long ago, she gradually integrated into the team and started talking more.

The most important thing is that the disgusting expression of looking at everyone like excrement on the roadside has disappeared.

"Ella, so you can actually smell whether there is anything valuable here!?"

"Well, of course, because it is the Golden Treasure Dragon."

Chisaki Mori couldn't help holding her head and howling, regretting her misstep: "I would have asked you if I had known!"

"So is there anything valuable here?" Cheng Rang asked.

"Is it something valuable?" Elachim raised his hand and pointed in one direction, "Although I don't know what valuable things are in your eyes, there is a curse smell coming from over there that obviously disgusts me... It's very strong. "

Following the direction given by Elachim, everyone discovered an extremely hidden cave in the corner of the mountain wall not far from the outskirts of Gokeyak Village.

"I didn't expect there was such a thing outside the village... Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"I'll forget it." Elachim waved his hand and refused, saying that he would wait at the entrance of the cave.

Although the interior of the cave seemed extremely dark due to the lack of lighting, there was no scent of any creature coming from it, so there should be no danger.

"Then let's go in and take a look."

Taking out the long-night fire and raising it for lighting, Cheng Rang took the lead in ducking into the cave with his head lowered.

The rock wall must have been dug out for some time, and there are no new fracture marks. The narrow tunnel can only accommodate one person bending down to pass through. After walking forward for tens of meters, the space inside the cave suddenly opened up. Cheng Rang finally Able to straighten up.

However, Cheng Rang was slightly startled by the sight illuminated by the flickering firelight.

"This is……"

"Cemetery?!"

Chisaki Mori, who was the second to get out of the narrow tunnel, saw the tombstones scattered inside the pioneer cave.

.

The tombstones are small, some are even clean, without any inscriptions, and they are neatly arranged inside the cave. According to a rough calculation, there are at least dozens.

"What's written on the tombstone?"

"Let me see."

Cheng Rang approached the tombstone with inscriptions and lowered his head to look at it. The light of God's Righteous Eye flashed away.

"Gokeyak Village, 9 years old... What is the age? There are also several surnames."

Cheng Rang regretted that his curiosity was too much. God's righteous eyes saw the bones buried in the tombstone through the earth and stones covered under it.

There are more than one corpse buried under a tombstone here, and all of them are children in age.

"Are all the children buried under so many tombstones!?"

"Yes, and it seems that they are buried according to their age groups. There are even many people who don't know their names and whose ages are unknown and are buried under blank tombstones."

If each tombstone contains the bones of more than one child, then there are hundreds of them here...

"Are these all children from Gokeyak Village?" Liang Yilan asked reluctantly.

"Some of them may be from other villages and towns, and they were all brought here." Cheng Rang raised his hand and pointed to the tombstones on the edge. "Some of the tombstones there are new, as if they were just recently..."

Cheng Rang, who seemed to have thought of something, stopped speaking abruptly, and hurriedly came to squat in front of the brand-new tombstones amidst the doubts of other team members.

When you reach out and touch them, you will see that the earth and stones covering these tombstones look like they were left not long ago, and some of them are still mixed with unmelted ice ballast.

God's Prosthetic Eye was activated again, and through the buried earth and rocks, Cheng Rang found scattered finger bones on the upper layer of fresh earth and rocks, and the origin of these scattered finger bones was self-evident.

Many of them can correspond to the bones that were buried in previous graves and were missing parts of them.

"This is the god-sacrificial finger bone necklace that was dismantled and buried here. Lux must have been here..."

The so-called returning home with bones in mind, returning fallen leaves to their roots...bringing the souls of the cursed children who are wandering away to the place where they were born.

Undoubtedly, Lux, as a knight, fulfilled all these promises.

But the question is, now that this is done, where has Lux gone?

After investigating the situation in the cave, everyone returned to the original route and met Elachim who was waiting at the entrance of the cave.

"You already knew what was in there, right?" Cheng Rang pointed it out directly to Elachim as soon as he came out.

"You mean the human cub bones inside? Yes."

Their flesh and blood and life were sacrificed, and their souls were imprisoned in the finger bone necklace. All of this mixed together to form an extremely strong curse. I am afraid that before the birth of the red moon, Gokeyak Village had already been lingering here. The lingering curse has become like this.

Not only the children, but also other people in Gokeyak Village withered and died... making this place a "dead village" with corpses everywhere.

And the knight Lux, who left here early and went to serve in Evogel, may not know anything about these changes.

When he came back again, he gave final relief to the villagers who had died long ago but were turned into wandering corpses by the red moon.

Chapter 182 The Cursed Hero

Chapter 1372 Chapter 182 The Cursed Hero

The biting cold wind roared violently, blowing and blowing fine snow through the canyon.

Jingle Bell……

After the gust of wind passed, everyone heard the sound of silver bells ringing in the distance. The sound was no longer familiar.

In the fog that filled the swamp and made them unable to see their fingers, the ringtone that guided them in the direction was so sweet that it could be heard clearly from a long distance through the obstacles of wind and snow.

"Is that Lux's horse bell?"

"You must have heard that right... go and have a look!" Cheng Rang tightened his clothes and hurried towards the direction where the ringing sound came from.

After splitting through the wind and snow that came from time to time, we followed the path beside the rock wall upwards, and finally came to a prominent cliff overlooking the entire Gokeyak village ahead.

In the dead wood there, Cheng Rang saw a figure in black kneeling on the ground with his back to this side.

There was no doubt that that was Lux, and his horse was here too, with his head lowered and his nose gently nudging Lux's shoulders. The silver bell tied to the reins fluttered in the wind, and a clear sound came from it.

"Hello! Lux?"

Following Cheng Rang's call, Lux, who discovered them, slowly raised his head, but a sudden change occurred——

The familiar huge fog barrier suddenly enveloped the entire area, scarlet text appeared, along with the inhuman roar from Lux's mouth, and the health bar representing the hostile BOSS suddenly appeared.

[Cursed Hero: Homecoming Knight "Lux", Level: 2500, HP: Unlimited]

"What……?"

Everyone was a little unprepared for this sudden battle.

At this time, Lux, who had his back to everyone in front, slowly stood up, as if he raised his hand to hold something on his chest, and suddenly pulled it out.

A large amount of icy blood splashed out, and Cheng Rang finally saw clearly that what he pulled out from his chest was a portable dagger.

After getting up, Lux threw away the dagger, got on his horse, and pulled the reins in his hand hard. The ferocious black sword condensed out of thin air like mist, and was carried on his shoulder.

Witnessing the red moon's scarlet eyes staring directly at everyone, the broken black trench coat on his chest was stained dark red by his blood. Obviously... the knight who fought alongside them before had committed suicide here, and his corpse was affected by the red moon. Later, he turned into a monster wandering here.
