Players’ NPC daddy

"Ah."

Blaze wondered if his entry into the cave, as Piliwen's apprentice, would bring about any changes. The silent cavern seemed like a dark cloud to him, its calm concealing a vast power.

Blaze slowly walked into the Piliwen Cave. It was extremely quiet inside, with only the sound of dripping water.

The darkness made time blur, and Blaze didn't know how long they had been walking in the cave.

"Is this cave so deep?" Blaze stopped and saw the deepest part at a glance when he was at the entrance of the cave. It was at most three meters deep.

But when we actually walked, we found that we could not reach the deep end of the cave no matter what.

Nessus and the chicken also felt something strange, and the chicken let out a light "eh".

"[Map] skill shows we've only advanced 2.9 meters."

"start running!"

Blaze immediately shouted and ran forward, followed closely by Nessus and Chicken.

Their speed was such that they could cover a distance of two or three meters in an instant and crash into the wall deep in the cave, but even after they ran at full speed, the distance between them and the end did not shorten at all.

"What's going on? I've never encountered this before!" Nessus ran at full speed and even stretched out his hand to try to touch the wall, but no matter how hard he tried, his fingers couldn't touch it.

"Why don't we go back? The exit doesn't look far away."

"I have a guess. Maybe the Piliwen Cave has started testing me since I entered this cave. Then we can't give up here!" Blaze shouted, transformed into a silver werewolf, and put aside all distractions and sprinted towards the wall.

"Just think of it as your daily exercise!"

Blaze simply ran, and kept running.

Putting aside Nessus as a centaur, Blaze's stamina is definitely not enough to sustain running for a long time, but skills such as [Excellent Appetite] and [Super Strong Physique] allow him to eat while running to restore his stamina.

"This must be a test of one's resolve as a disciple, and one's refusal to give up in the face of suffering whose end is unknown!"

"I see! I won't lose in the horse department!" Nessus' eyes lit up, and he stretched his muscles hard, making himself glisten under the flying sweat.

The chicken didn't want to keep company, so it landed on Blaze's back early and yawned.

Blaze and Nessus kept running without stopping, and a certain existence was watching the two running guys through a window.

"This is...an intelligence test."

"Are these two guys planning to just run away and break through the [Achilles Refutation]?"

Blaze didn't know how long he ran, but compared to the pressure of facing the gods, running aimlessly in the dark was nothing.

Click——

A barely audible cracking sound was heard, indicating that a device controlling the phenomenon of being unable to reach the wall had reached its limit.

Before Blaze could feel depressed and hopeless, victory suddenly arrived. He had no time to stop and crashed hard into the wall.

boom--

The rock wall was smashed to pieces, and Blaze rolled on the ground in a mess.

Blaze looked up and saw everything around him was white. Neatly crossed black lines divided the entire white space into squares.

The space was filled with a smell similar to that of Theresa using the Age of Gods technology to expand the space.

In the center of the snow-white space stood its owner, a centaur standing upright.

That centaur was much smaller than the centaurs in the Hidden Village. Judging from the front, he was about the same height as Blaze.

[Chiron], the blessing revealed the name of this centaur.

That was undoubtedly the name of the being that gave birth to Sagittarius, the one with the great soul, but Blaze sensed something strange.

It's like facing an empty shell.

Chapter 314 Super Centaur

"He who seeks the heir to the Age of Gods' Fire, you have passed the initiation test. I officially bestow upon you the title of [Piliwen's Apprentice]."

As Chiron spoke, Blaze's blessing took effect.

The special status [Piliwen's Apprentice] has been transformed into a passive skill, but there are still no attribute bonuses or content details. Obviously, being an apprentice alone is nothing.

Blaze looked at the chicken, and the chicken nodded seriously. It was obvious that the chicken also noticed the abnormality of Chiron.

More than just a hollow shell, Chiron lacks the aura and powerful presence of a noble soul. Even the fallen, aging lion, threatened to vanish at any moment, retains the aura of a behemoth.

But Chiron seems to have a less noticeable presence than Nessus next to him.

"What's going on?" Blaze did not act rashly.

When the Tree of Life gave him the task, it clearly indicated that the twelve beast kings had been tempted by the blood of the evil god and had fallen, and Chiron was one of them. The Nemean Giant chose to transform into the second evil Titan, but why did Chiron do so?

"Your heartbeat quickened, and you became suspicious and wary of me. I judge that it is this unfamiliar environment that made you lose your sense of security." Chiron waved his hand, and the surrounding environment changed instantly, from pure white blocks to dense woods and valleys.

This landscape is the Thessaly Valley.

Nessus' mouth dropped open, a look of astonishment on his face. Every race that values ​​the use of weapons and swords to determine victory, believing strength is everything, would make such a face in the face of magical magic, let alone something as unknown as the Age of Gods.

In response to this, Blaze spread his hands and shook his head. This is what happens when you have little experience.

Fortunately, under the influence of strangers, his nerves have become much stronger.

"call--"

Blaze took a deep breath. He had thought about seeking Chiron's help to fight against Cyclops and returning Sagittarius at the same time.

Now it seems that the idea of ​​"doing it together by the way" is too frivolous. He must suppress this lazy thought and take it step by step.

Let’s deal with the imminent second-generation one-eyed man first.

"Theresa asked me to come find you. It was an emergency, but I believe she thought you could help me defeat the Second One-Eye."

"The second generation One-Eye, the second One-Eye to usurp the throne. On the day he was born, his mother made all living beings swear not to harm him. Everything in the world was sworn, including metal, temperature, except the mistletoe, which is known as the golden branch of life." Chiron waved his arm again, and large bushes grew out, and those were the mistletoe.

"The Golden Bough of Life refers to mistletoe?" Blazer was stunned. This second-generation one-eyed man was unexpectedly fragile. He was actually afraid of such a common plant.

But this is somewhat ironic. In some places, there is an old saying that there is no happiness without mistletoe. And this parasitic plant can actually be used to kill gods.

"So, all we need to do is collect mistletoe to defeat the second-generation One-Eye?"

"Negative, mistletoe, a shrub, is not included in the protection agreement of the Second-Generation One-Eye, but it does not mean that mistletoe can pierce the skin of a god." Chiron stretched out his hand, and a section of illusory plant appeared in his broad palm.

"[Golden Bough of Life], a dwarf crafted a section of mistletoe out of gold. The dwarf's craftsmanship can give life to metal, and the gold used as its raw material possesses terrifying magical powers. Therefore, the golden mistletoe not only grows parasitically like a real plant, but also contains power, thus possessing the ability to kill the second-generation One-Eye."

"The dwarf was eliminated, and the whereabouts of the Life-giving Bough are unknown. But if you need, I can deduce and determine its location."

"Fourth daughter and the Golden Branch of Life, isn't this a wasted trip..."

Blazer frowned with a headache. Could it be that Theresa asked him to find Chiron just to go around in circles and let this knowledgeable teacher tell him the weakness of the second-generation One-Eye?

No, that's absolutely not the case.

Blaze remembered Theresa's eyes at that time. It was one of entrustment, but also a bit of a show of being cool.

At that time, Teresa was not trying to hold God back with her own life, but was serious about defeating God. As she said, she let Blaze go because Blaze would hold her back if he stayed there.

That person came from an era where giving up was unknown, and people relied on the experience accumulated through generations of failure to reach the gods.

If Theresa lost, her failure would become the foundation for the next generation, her body a stairway. Theresa had touched the face of God, and her successor would be able to plunge the knife into God's throat.

"The fire, Theresa said she kept the fire of the Age of Gods with you, and I want to inherit it."

Blaze raised his head, his tone firm.

He believed in Theresa and Herbie, and he had a group of very reliable companions, so he would take every step carefully and overcome the difficulties before him.

"I understand, Piriwen's apprentice."

Chiron's eyes lit up, and then he transformed.

The horse's lower body part was transformed into human legs, and the back half of the horse's body was transformed into armor similar to Theresa's and combined with the upper body, becoming a heavy armor.

"Ugh!!!"

Blaze had the same dumbfounded expression as Nessus, only even more exaggerated, his eyes almost popping out.

"[Child-rearing Type Super-Spec All-Around God-Slaying Tactical Armament Codename Chiron], now begins its mission."

Chiron didn't give Blaze any chance to react. He walked up to Blaze with heavy steps and raised his fist.

"The successor training begins now."

[Special Mission: Hero's Background Story Details/Accepted]

……

If you ask whether it is humiliating for a player to be an NPC's henchman who is always available, in 99% of cases, Greenland will tie the NPC to the back of a horse and drag it along.

And Herbie Hermes is undoubtedly that 0.01% NPC!

Not only did he provide the evil players who had absolutely no way out with food and a place to live, but he also provided them with a black card that could be used at will with no upper limit, as well as countless first-hand intelligence. Greenland was willing to be Hebi's honest lackey.

What's more, the tasks that Hebi usually assigns are basically the prerequisite tasks for some special tasks.

No, Herbie summoned her to run errands and do some research.

She actually felt a little resistance to this task at first. After all, she was now a front-line evil player, shouldering the mission of exploring the upper limit of evil players.

When she looked closely, she found that she was looking for an item called [Golden Branch of Life].

As a former professional player and current professional anchor, she has played thousands of games and watched the recent PV of the new map, and she understood it in an instant.

This is the prelude to fighting the World Boss.

What a short-lived world boss.

He actually provoked the great Lord Herbi Hermes.

Today is also the first day that Greenland has understood the true meaning of the game "Godlock". As long as he builds a good relationship with the NPC, he will have no worries about any special tasks or exclusive tasks.

Chapter 315: Learning from Hebi

"There are no clues in this city either."

Herbie crossed out a mark on the map with a headache.

She always worried that she was not doing well enough. As an ordinary person, she wanted to stay with those blessed people. Excellent problem-solving was an insurmountable lifeline.

The delay in finding the [Fourth Daughter] and the [Golden Branch of Life] made her feel anxious for the first time in a long time.

"After all, it's the key item to defeat the World Boss. How could it be found so easily?"

Greenland was quite relaxed. Even though she had already visited seven or eight cities without success, she remained undeterred. Rather, she was enjoying it. Those cities had previously expelled her as a pest, but now she could enter with impunity.

She particularly enjoyed the mixed expressions of fear, disgust, admiration and respect on everyone's faces.

"World BOSS... Do you foreigners really have no fear of God at all?" Because Greenland's name for the second-generation one-eyed man was too contemptuous, Hebi couldn't help but complain about it.

Although she has no faith, it does not prevent her from feeling fear of the existence of God.

"Oh my God..." Greenland rolled his eyes, raised his furry paws, and counted casually with his fingers, "10, 20, 30..."

"Are you counting the number of gods you've killed in other worlds?!"

"That's right. If you count the lunatics who claim to be gods, there are even more." Greenland clapped his hands as if he was too lazy to count. "Of course, not every victory is fair and square, not every process is smooth, and not every victory is guaranteed."

"But what I'm saying is that gods aren't that scary. If they were perfect, they wouldn't even appear in the world. The fact that they descended upon the earth and spoke their names means they have some kind of flaw."

"They appear to satisfy their own deficiencies or to fill their own gaps."

Greenland told Hebi the story of another world, a world where the goal was to kill gods. The ultimate enemy was an almighty god, who was theoretically impossible to defeat.

But that god had a fatal weakness: lust. He could turn on anything, regardless of gender or species, even stones. Greenland seized on this weakness and set a trap that nearly cost her her job, ultimately helping the almighty god eliminate his fatal weakness.

The Almighty God, now perfect and perfect, no longer cares about worldly affairs and no longer descends upon the world. The world is thus saved, and this is cause for celebration...

Hebi understood what Greenland meant. Putting aside the noble title of God, their enemy was just a simple and extremely powerful life form.

As long as it is a living thing, there must be some kind of weakness.

The fact that the second-generation One-Eye's weakness is the [Golden Branch of Life] should not be thought of so one-sidedly. A more accurate statement is that the second-generation One-Eye is afraid of death and all the struggles he will make to escape death.

What a ridiculous weakness, just like everyone else.

"Hehe, a person who is afraid of death is much easier to deal with." Herbie touched his chin and smiled confidently.

Greenland smirked beside her. She'd completed her daily quota today, which had made her NPC leader happy. Of course, she wasn't just trying to please him. To play Godlock well, one needed a deep knowledge base and a willingness to try all sorts of creative ideas.
