I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Drizzt felt his sanity burning. In fact, he had already been challenged by his sanity from the moment he saw the tower turn into mud. Fortunately, he was somewhat mentally prepared, so it didn't cause him to go completely insane.

Even so, Drizzt still felt an instinctive tremor when he saw that magnificent, inhuman, terrifying creature.

He raised his revolver.

He then pulled the trigger.

This was the first time Twisted Fate fired a shot during this mission.

The scene looks somewhat ridiculous.

A tiny, insignificant mortal fires a shot at the embodiment of a god, a colossal creature from mythology.

Anyone who sees it will find it ridiculous.

But Twisted Fate did it anyway.

He believed that he did not have Lu Ban's strong willpower, his fighting skills were only slightly better than others, and he had no amazing ability to fight against ghosts or control extraordinary beings.

The reason he was able to survive in the Silent Land for so long, and even dare to challenge the [Erosion] difficulty, was because of this revolver.

[Imitation of Yangyan]

This is the reward item that Trist received after completing his "Detective" career quest.

As its name suggests, this revolver's effect is to create a false sun.

hum-

A shockwave emanated from the muzzle of Twisted Fate's gun, and the boiling heat created a golden sun, even more dazzling than the pale sun.

Before the colossal object even touched the golden sun, it began to evaporate and dissolve, accompanied by countless wails, as if one could see souls being separated from the mud.

The warm and bright sunshine shone on the earth, bringing the town of Kushui the daylight it had never seen in centuries.

Those fishermen living outside the town of Kushui, who were affected by the Black Queen Mother but were spared because they lived a little further away, and who could only hide in their homes when the walking corpses of the Hai family passed by, couldn't help but come out when they saw the bright sunshine outside their windows. They saw the radiant sun rising above the town of Kushui, a sight that transcended mythology.

They prostrated themselves, knelt, and prayed, as if a new god were rising.

As for the silt, it was completely evaporated by the blazing sun, and even the souls were exorcised.

The revolver in Drizzt's hand was burning hot, scalding a layer of skin off his palm. The blisters from the burns were hideous and painful, but Drizzt did not let go.

Only after the sunlight disappeared did Drizzt feel the trembling in his right hand and the excruciating pain.

Although he possesses the powerful firepower of the [Simulated Sunfire], unfortunately, this ability of the revolver can only be used once per mission, and after use, the [Simulated Sunfire] will be just an ordinary revolver for at least a week.

The cost was considerable.

However, precisely because of this, Twisted Fate's strategy for doing missions in the Silent Lands is very simple: first, lie low and investigate steadily, find the mastermind or target, and finally gather all the guys who need to be dealt with together and find a way to give them a good beating.

Previously in the Night Kingdom, this was how Drizzt dealt with the monsters attacking from the Black Forest.

Before embarking on this mission, Trist's original plan was to attend the wedding as planned, and if anything went wrong at the wedding, he would simply make a clean getaway. After all, he would be reduced to ashes, so there shouldn't be any monsters left behind.

Unfortunately, this mission involved Lu Ban, which triggered a lot of strange things.

"He should... still be alive, right?"

Trist walked toward the epicenter of the [Simulated Sunfire] explosion.

This thing is very effective against evil and unclean things, but not so much against humans. Moreover, Trist thinks that Lu Ban's tenacious vitality is probably enough to withstand two hits head-on without any problem.

The sunlight evaporated even the metallic stench, and Trist saw a grayish-green cocoon at the very center of the explosion.

He squatted down and poked the callus with his good left hand.

The gray vegetation withered instantly and turned to ashes.

Lu Ban was curled up inside, holding the white jade-like statue in his arms.

"Was it still too late?"

Drizzt looked at Lu Ban, whose eyes were closed, and assumed he had died, so he squatted down.

"It's a pity. You are a good person. I will remember you."

He intended to take the statue from Lu Ban's hand, but suddenly discovered that Lu Ban had opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ban asked a question, sat up, and hugged the statue tightly.

"...I'm glad you're alright."

Trist was somewhat speechless.

Meanwhile, in Lu Ban's vision, the ashes of the grass and trees twisted into indifferent and cold system text.

[Survive until the wedding ends 1/1]

[Task completed]

Chapter 079 Message

[Task completed]

[Follower detected, return?]

【whether】

"Ok?"

Lu Ban found it strange because he returned immediately after completing the last mission in another realm, without any choice. Now it seemed that he could delay his return, which was rather odd.

However, he also noticed a line of small print indicating the time.

Even if I don't make any choice, I'll return in an hour. The time left now is probably just for cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils.

However, that's how it is on site.

After being cleansed by the [Simulated Yang Flame], the only things left of the Hai family mansion are probably the stones in the foundation that can be picked up and thrown into the water.

Can I add friends in Quiet Place?

Lu Ban suddenly asked.

"Add me as a friend?"

Trist was puzzled.

"Can we continue our contact after we return through the Silent Land?"

Lu Ban asked another question.

"Direct contact is not possible, but you can leave a message."

Trist understood Lu Ban's meaning and then spoke.

"You can leave a mark on the ground like this."

He bent down, and suddenly, knife marks, like those carved in stone, appeared on the smooth ground before him.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Ban realized that it was an illusion created by the system, just like those words.

It says "Caution" on it.

"Leave a message here and specify the recipient, and they will see the message the next time they enter the Silent Lands for a mission."

Trist patiently taught Lu Ban how to use the message.

He then continued.

"In addition, if you can obtain some special items with historical or mythological heritage, you can use them to send messages to your former companions and invite them to join you on missions."

"I see."

Lu Ban nodded slightly.

"Although this mission cost me a lot of sanity, I think the completion rate of the exploration will definitely be very high. We have basically figured out the ins and outs of Drywater Town, so it deserves at least an amazing rating. To be honest, I have never achieved such a high rating in all my time in Silent Land."

Drizzt remarked with a sigh.

"?"

Lu Ban was puzzled.

He originally wanted to say that he had actually made several amazing evaluations, but after thinking about it carefully, wouldn't that be the same as telling a student who works hard but still can't get good grades that he can get full marks by eating, drinking and having fun every day and not studying at all?

Although it was the truth, it was still hurtful.

As a gentle, considerate, and emotionally intelligent human being, Lu Ban had no intention of doing something so hurtful.

"To be honest, when you rushed in, I thought of the senior who helped me before. In the Quiet Place, some people will do anything to survive, even plotting to use their fellow travelers as scapegoats. Others, however, still maintain their humanity and fight against madness. If I hadn't met him at the beginning, I might have become a sophisticated egoist myself."

Drizzt was quite moved.

"That's settled then. If there's any chance in the future, let's meet again in the Silent Land. You may not follow the rules, but you're quite interesting."

"By the way, is that senior you've been talking about still in the Silent Land?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.

"No... I don't know either. I haven't been in touch with him for a long time. I tried to contact him, but he didn't reply."

Drizzt's expression turned serious.

"What's his name? Maybe I can pass on a message for you if I run into him in the future."

Lu Ban asked casually.

“His name is Du Danping. The last time I saw him was before two missions.”

Drizzt's answer stunned Lu Ban.

……

The Land of Night, Dry Water Town.

One hour later.

Outside the now-ruined town of Kushui, the Hai family's zombies had already been shattered as the silt evaporated under the sun, turning into a pool of white bones and decaying flesh.

The villagers who revered the sun all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to stand up, not daring to look directly at it, and not daring to desecrate it.

Until, footsteps sounded.
