The movement of the sun will be a helpful clue to finding the twelve beasts.

But a question arises at this point. Assuming that the sun really moves above the tracks laid out by the twelve beasts, what would happen if one or two of them were taken away?

What would happen if they were brought together?

This is a question that is better not to think about for the time being. Up to now, the sun is still shining brightly in the sky, which shows that the power of the twelve beasts is very stable.

Not long after Dali Feizhuan left, Greenland also disappeared, saying that he was almost suffocating.

The place where Amaterasu threw them out was Asgard, so before Blaze went to the underground world, he took the opportunity to see the recovery level of this majestic city.

The speed of the strangers was amazing. They piled up luxurious houses one after another as if they were playing. And the whole Asgard was divided into eight parts with the castle in the center, and each part had a different style of architecture.

It is said that this was arranged by Andy according to Feng Shui. Blazer didn't understand, but he was shocked and could only give a thumbs up to silently express his admiration.

Blaze mainly wants to meet Marika, who is now the leader of Valhalla and is also in some trouble.

That is Asgard's political stance. This area, which belongs to the distant age of the gods, has appeared in the world, so naturally the ownership of power must be clarified. If it is not handled properly, it may cause war.

When the Eternal Kingdom appeared in the past, a war that lasted for several months was launched. Although the result was the unification of dozens of warring city-states and the creation of a great empire, there were too many trivial matters in the process.

Today, Asgard is a powerful force no less than the Eternal Kingdom, and an astonishing number of Heroic Warriors are completely immortal when facing enemies other than the Blessed.

Once it is thrown into the known ground world, it will cause considerable turmoil.

Marika was also in a very awkward situation. She was the leader of the Royal Knights directly under the Giant Kingdom and the lord of the Fast territory. She was definitely biased towards the Giant Kingdom, but she could not directly state that Asgard became a part of the Giant Kingdom Alliance. She had to take into account the feelings of these survivors of the ancient era.

So Blazer helped Marika solve the problem, thinking that since he was already here, he might as well help solve the problem.

The operation was extremely simple. He acknowledged his identity in a formal setting and expressed his alliance with the Giant Kingdom. Of course, there would be people who would not accept it. After all, Asgard was once the real royal city. How could it commit itself to an alliance?

And Blaze also accurately mastered the method of dealing with it, using his fists to let the opponent know that he had no choice but to reason, and then use reason to make the opponent understand.

Blazer claimed that he was not a good speaker, so he carefully analyzed the pros and cons with his opponents, emphasizing the existence of strangers.

Times have changed. Foreign talents are the world's greatest resource. A foreigner can even feed the people of an entire city, and a foreigner can also decide the outcome of an entire war.

Maintaining friendly social relations with forces in other kingdoms can earn you the friendliness of strangers.

Foreigners are very concerned about contribution points. These points can be used to exchange for props and materials, so foreigners will prioritize places where they can earn contribution points. By forming an alliance with a kingdom, you can share contribution points.

The opposing Heroic Warriors were not reckless men. After being forced to calm down with fists, they began to think about the pros and cons.

"Will there be any drinks with the Kingdom Alliance?"

"Have."

"Then we have no objection."

The problem was solved so easily, but Blazer felt like he was going to vomit because of nervousness. He was really not good at this kind of thing. Normally, Herbie would have done it. He only needed to be a background board to admit that he was someone's son.

"Hebi..."

Blaze stood on the balcony of Asgard's royal city, looking down at the reviving city and sighed.

"Is something wrong with her?" Marika came to Blaze with two wooden barrel cups and handed one of them to Blaze.

"Here, milk."

"Something's wrong, like being possessed by an evil spirit." Blaze took the cup, transformed into a silver werewolf, and then hooked the milk in the cup with his tongue.

Marika's gaze slowly shifted to look at Amaterasu who was sleeping with her arms around Blaze's neck.

"You look like the one possessed by the evil spirit."

Chapter 499: Loyal to the Character

Blaze was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead with a headache. He really forgot that Amaterasu possessed him if he wasn't careful.

The chickens standing nearby were staring with their eyes popping out of their heads, apparently having not noticed Amaterasu's presence before this.

"It's complicated. Anyway, in order to defeat a troublesome snake, I was forced to eat her incarnation of the sun, and then I was possessed like this."

Marika looked at Amaterasu's sleeping face and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch Amaterasu's nose. Her finger went through it, but Amaterasu seemed to feel it, frowned, moved her head to the other side, and made a snoring sound.

"Like a little kid." Marika raised the corner of her mouth and stopped teasing Amaterasu.

"She looks like Audrey."

"Because this girl is the sun goddess, and the moon is her twin." Blaze couldn't help but sigh at the fate.

If he didn't have Silver Blood, he wouldn't be able to withstand Amaterasu's power. Furthermore, without Silver Blood, he wouldn't be able to gain the attention of Ouroboros. It can be said that his encounter with Audrey and Herbie on the way to Balkan City was a huge turning point for him and many others.

If he had been changed by the power of the Black Beast Knight, and no longer humble, but became violent and arrogant, he would never have come this far.

"It's great that I am still myself at that time."

"...Ahem, she won't stay in your body forever, will she?" Marika pursed her lips and looked at Amaterasu unconsciously again. She didn't care much about Amaterasu, after all, she looked like she was asking for the warmth of her family, but...

When I think about how we may seem to be alone together, but there is actually someone watching us, it's a bit...

"She said she was sleeping to recover her strength. She will probably leave after she's recovered." Blaze was also a little uncertain. He couldn't guess what a goddess who could swallow swords and juggle balls was thinking.

"Alas~ Before that, I can only regard her as a cloak. As for what happens in the future, we can only talk about it later."

Blaze then asked about the problems of the natives of Takamagahara, and Marika told him that the residents' housing problems had been solved. Asgard is very large, and most of the Heroic Warriors live in the special space of Valhalla, so the natives of Takamagahara will not be excluded.

But Marika also told the bad news, that is, monsters were found outside the walls of Asgard. Some were insect monsters from the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, and some were ancient monsters that were revived because Asgard returned to the earth.

Considering the combat capability of Valhalla, it is not difficult to deal with monsters, but it is not a long-term solution as the monsters reproduce at an alarming rate.

It is best to build a channel as soon as possible and attract foreigners to enter Asgard. There is a saying that foreigners are the balancers of nature. As long as foreigners appear, there is no need to worry that the number of monsters will get out of control because there are no natural enemies.

Speaking of recruiting foreigners, the topic returns to Herbie.

Every time a stranger enters a city, he will instinctively look for the Adventurer's Guild. It is a common place on the entire continent for issuing missions, accepting missions, and conducting transactions, and this place is usually managed by the Hermes Travel Hat.

Whether it is Marika or Blaze, they all hope to hand over Asgard's [Adventurer's Guild] to Herbie to manage. After all, they are old acquaintances and Herbie is also very capable.

But the problem is that Herbie is not in a good condition now. It is like being possessed by an evil spirit and he will go into a bad state from time to time. The bad mental state is not the most dangerous thing. The dangerous thing is that Herbie will self-harm in order to stop himself.

"I asked the evil strangers to pay attention to Hebi's condition... I don't have time now, but I should help her personally. I am her friend, but the sun..."

Marika reached out and pressed on Blaze's unconsciously clenched fist to stop Blaze from struggling. She knew that Blaze was now facing a dilemma between the safety of his friends and the safety of the world.

Marika didn't tell Blaze what to do, she just patted the back of Blaze's hand and waited for Blaze to speak.

"Please pay more attention to Herbie's matter."

"Good~"

Marika pulled up her hair and stood side by side with Blaze, looking at the setting sun not far away. As expected, she really liked the feeling of standing side by side and sharing the responsibility.

……

In a messy room, a bearded, fat man wearing glasses was looking at the screen with a bit of madness. The light from the screen made his lenses shine.

"Sun, sun, I am the only one who discovered this secret. Why does no one understand me? Why do they say I am crazy? I will definitely..."

"Do you have to dress like this to see me?" Dali Feizhuan stood behind the fat man speechlessly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the chaos and darkness around him turned into virtual fragments and faded away.

This is just a chat room where you can use avatars.

"What do you know? This is role-playing and I stay true to my character setting." The fat man curled his lips, then slowly stood up, clapped his hands, and adjusted the entire virtual environment into a dim bar.

A bar that looks at first glance like a place where secret deals take place.

"Did you get the copyright owner's consent before using this venue?"

"Don't worry, the copyright has expired." The fat man sat down, changed into a black suit, and invited Dali Feizhuan to sit down.

"You want to ask about the sun trajectory bug in Godlock, right? This is a very valuable secret. How much do you plan to pay for it?"

"Do you really want to play this game to the end?" Dali Feizhuan had no choice but to cooperate with this playful friend and acted like a second-generation rich kid after sitting opposite him.

"One hundred gold coins."

"Only a hundred gold coins?"

"I'm talking about real gold coins."

"Cough, cough, cough--" the fat man started coughing violently.

"Just kidding, it's a joint commemorative coin. I can customize a few for you, such as a commemorative coin with your own portrait printed on it." Dali Feizhuan laughed twice and his expression became serious. "Can you show me the data you collected that year?"

"Whoever wants mine, at least give me a Blaze gold coin." The fat man complained and opened a document.

“I discovered this by accident.”

The file that Fatty opened was a video of the sun rising from the edge of the world. This was nothing special, it was sunrise, but Fatty shrunk the entire map and expanded it to the size of a flat map.

The rising sun is offset.

Chapter 500: Staying True to the Setting

The rising and setting of the sun is a straight line, not only to conform to the real world, but also to save trouble, and sometimes because the sun is just a texture.

To be honest, there is no need to create a physical sun in the game. This is not an interstellar exploration game, and the sky may just be a texture.

Although some people have challenged the maximum height of "Godlock" and have not reached the limit so far, the vast majority of players firmly believe that the sky has boundaries and the sun must also be a texture.

Fatty thought so too, and his discovery of the secret of the sun was just a coincidence and luck. Initially, he just wanted to get the specific size of the "Godlock" game field. Someone said it was a square on the map, and he wanted to confirm it.

Finally he found that the map was indeed a square, although there was a deviation of tens of kilometers. But if you look at the entire map, it is like a one-meter cube with a deviation of a few millimeters.

After Fatty got the specific data, he planned to leave, and just leave the entire game. He was not a person who liked to play games, his hobby was to collect data and make some small toys, and finally watching the sunrise was his sudden whim.

It was during this sudden inspiration that he discovered a bug. The sun's trajectory had shifted, and this was not a small deviation of a few dozen kilometers from the center line, but a deviation of about one-sixth of the map width.

This is a problem that can be discovered almost by standing at the edge of the world and carefully appreciating the sunrise. The fat man immediately became interested, and while recording the video, he stared at the sun, thinking that if it rose at this angle, even a fool would feel that something was wrong with the position of the sun.

He discovered a big bug, but he was soon slapped in the face because he spent three days finding that the sun slowly returned to the center line during its rising process.

"Look at this."

The fat man took out a sheepskin map with a hand-drawn game map on it, and a red line was the trajectory of the sun passing over the map.

In Dali Feizhuan's eyes, this red line was like a puzzle where the creator deliberately cut out a lot of smoke bombs to prevent it from being too difficult.

This red line deflected 12 times, including the beginning and the end. If it wasn't a coincidence, then the twelve beasts that affected the sun's trajectory were all on the top map.

"By the way, has the official ever said the size of the sun?" asked Dali Feizhuan.

"The authorities haven't even revealed the size of the map." The fat man rolled his eyes. "But if you're looking for something where the sun's trajectory is deflected, then the sun shouldn't be too big. Isn't this world view geocentric?"

“Maybe it’s as big as a city.”

"Almost." Dali Feizhuan muttered, and then carefully downloaded the map from memory. The fat man looked a little funny and said that you can just take it away, anyway, it's just a virtual data.

"Although I don't play games, I have a rough idea of ​​what you want to do. It will definitely be a spectacular scene, so I have to remind you that things won't go so smoothly." The fat man poked the table with his thick fingers, "You'd better reconfirm the trajectory of the sun."

"…You mean, maybe someone has already got one or two of them?"

"Of course, you guys in the Fairy Kingdom can be bored and use divergent thinking to find Gaia's pelvis, so why can't others find the twelve beasts based on their understanding of the zodiac and the heavenly stems and earthly branches?"

Dali Feizhuan closed his eyes in discomfort. Fatty was right, and he hit the point he had been worried about. Godlock was so free that there was no such thing as something that could only be obtained by following the process. The real free exploration was that you could [SKIP] at will, and it was possible to obtain the final equipment at the beginning of the game.

For example, Fatty is the one who discovered the anomaly in the sun's trajectory. If Fatty was a particularly powerful player, he would have started to plan to obtain the Twelve Beasts long ago.

So it wouldn't be surprising if one or two players stumbled upon the Twelve Beasts and started a strategy game.

However, since the sun still rose as usual and passed through the sky, there were two possible scenarios: either no one had been conquered yet, or the sun would adapt itself, and with one less beast, it would have to make one less turn.

To confirm which situation it is, you have to verify it yourself.

"This looks like a big project." Dali Feizhuan tossed the parchment in his hand, then looked at the man in front of him who was really bored.

"Are you interested in doing me another favor? I'll give you a commemorative coin with Herbie and Blazer on the front and back."

"Hmm~ Do you think I'm some cheap labor?" The fat man raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and then immediately changed his expression, "If one side is printed with Blaze and the other side is printed with the bird next to Blaze, I'll accept it."

"You, are you such a heavy taste?!"

"What are you thinking about?" The fat man rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that this serious man in front of him also had some dirty thoughts in his mind.

"Don't you think that a human head on one side and an animal symbol on the other side makes it look like a legitimate currency? After all, don't just print character heads on some game items because you think they can sell better."

"Give me some respect. Do you think a businessman like Herbie Hermes would print his head on the currency?"

Obviously, he is a veteran game player, but he was scolded by someone who has only played for more than a month, and he couldn't refute it.

Dali Feizhuan didn't have much temper and just shook the parchment scroll in his hand.

"Then I'm going to commercialize this solar trajectory map. Do you mind?"
