The warehouse was also stuffed to the brim with cannibal sheep's eyes, fur and bones, all of which were materials that Blazer could not use, but they could be used as a reward for thanking the strangers for their help.

The most useful thing is the lion skin obtained after defeating the Nemean Lion King, which can be decorated on armor. The effect is to withstand 12 piercing slashes.

Blaze slides the warehouse. There are many materials in it that are obtained without prompts when defeating monsters. These materials are all around the monkey hand.

The natural guidance state brought about by [Forest Blessing] allowed him to hear the voice more clearly, asking him to go to a place called the Sea of ​​Golden Trees. There is no doubt that he has met the conditions for meeting the ancient race.

"Huh?" Blaze's fingers paused, and he reached the bottom of the warehouse. That was a fruit, the fruit Marika threw to him.

【Fruit of Svartalfheim】

[After eating it, you can get the wisdom that originally belonged to the dwarves, but you will be cursed by the one-eyed light. 】

Chapter 10 Dwarf Curse

Dwarves are a humanoid race. The number of dwarves in the native continent is rare, even less than that of elves. There are quite a few dwarves among the strangers, but they are becoming less and less.

Because the dwarves, as a race famous for forging weapons, have lost the technology they are proud of, or to be precise, the wisdom of forging.

Dwarves cannot improve their intelligence. Even if they carry items that can improve their intelligence, they will be directly deducted to 0. Just like, the intelligence of a dwarf can always be 0, and any profession linked to intelligence cannot be obtained.

This is an unknown curse.

Malika is of dwarf descent and is also cursed.

Blaze didn't remember much about his childhood, but he knew that Marika felt inferior to her bloodline, but not because she couldn't improve her intelligence. While other girls grew into beautiful long-legged girls, Marika was still the short and dark one.

Sometimes I even worry about growing a big beard, or growing huge muscles and becoming a square figure. Fortunately, she just had a longer growth cycle because of her dwarf bloodline. She was like a piece of forged steel, beaten and stretched, and finally turned into a sparkling, majestic female knight.

However, Malika has never been troubled by the fact that she is a dwarf but does not have forging wisdom. Without intelligence, she can improve her faith and learn magic, so this fruit containing dwarf wisdom is not an important thing.

"Why did she give this to me?" Blaize held the fruit and pondered. He didn't remember that he had said that he wanted to be a blacksmith before, but that he wanted to be a farmer.

It is a pity that farmers have been involved in high-level professions by foreigners. As long as they can farm, almost all places are occupied by foreigners. Even in places where farming is not possible, strangers are trying to cultivate plants.

"Forget it, let's find a chance to return it to her."

Blaze put the apple back into the warehouse and followed the natural guidance that only he could see to a huge ancient tree.

The leaves of this ancient tree are golden.

Legend has it that all the trees on this continent come from the great and noble golden giant tree, but only when they grow to a certain height will they grow golden leaves. This pure and beautiful leaves can heal wounds and curses.

In the era when ancient races existed, this tree was regarded as a totem and belief, and they respectfully called it the tree of life.

But the tree of life in front of me was extremely fragile, and most of the golden leaves were curled and browned. The erosion of the forest by the evil god's blood is killing it.

Natural guidance pointed Blazer to the root of the Tree of Life, where there was a bottomless tree hole.

"Is this the entrance to the sea of ​​golden trees that strangers say?"

Blaze bent down and tried around the tree hole. The size was just right, as if it was specially prepared for him.

In the Stranger's Hunter's Guide, if you want to enter the Sea of ​​Golden Trees, you must first complete the hidden challenge about the Tree of Life. But he didn't know what would happen next. The stranger lowered his voice at that time.

"Okay, just get in."

After accepting the mission, Blaze leaned down and got into the tree hole. Although it was dark inside, it was surprisingly not narrow. It even felt more spacious as he walked.

When he could stand up and walk, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the surrounding area became extremely wide, as if he had arrived in some kind of chaotic space, with stars dotting the entire sky.

"here it is……"

Blaze took a step forward, and the stars in the sky suddenly stopped flowing. The strange smell of blood spread along with the sticky mire flowing out of the stars.

The liquid gathered and deformed as if it had life, and terrifying beasts crawled out of the mire as if they came from a dark shadow world.

[Evil God Curse LV? ]

[The curse of the evil god resides in the blood, and ravage, tear, and destruction are its components. They will scream, laugh and push all life into the sea of ​​fire, howling in the dust to welcome the arrival of the new evil god. 】

Even without the blessing reminder, Blaze could understand that the request of the vague voice brought by nature's guidance must be to kill the monsters that had been materialized by the evil god's curse.

……

In a dark virtual space, the programmers of "Golden Locke" are creating and maintaining the game with their bodies in the life-sustaining cabin and their consciousness online.

One of the penguin-shaped programmers spoke.

"I said, seniors, can I ask you something? Why has El Dorado been pushed until now as a project that will be launched in the first year?"

"Ah, that tragic incident where two NPCs that can trigger special plots were mixed together, resulting in both projects being shelved."

"Don't let me find out who did it! My daughter, Marika the Red Dragon, whom I finally managed to squeeze, has been reduced to a supporting role in hunting PK players!" A virtual character in the shape of a blood-stained kitchen knife sprang out, wandering randomly in the virtual space Flying.

"Red Dragon Marika, that is a special plot that can lift the curse of the dwarf race." Penguin nodded thoughtfully, and then broke into a cold sweat.

"Hey! Isn't this a super important world plot? If this special plot is not completed, no one can get the most advanced blacksmith profession, and the mechanism of the dwarf race is incomplete. We will be cut off!"

"Don't worry, what players are best at is finding loopholes and developing new gameplay. They have come up with popular evil combinations such as dwarf berserkers and dwarf monks."

Compared to the nervousness of the newbie Penguin, the other veterans are much calmer.

bug? That's a gameplay, how can it be called a bug?

Do you need to teach players how to play? It is the players who teach them how to play, and they are just responsible for making the players have fun.

"I remember that I need to complete the plot of the ancient race in the forest, and then get the apple of wisdom to give to Marika...fuck! Why is that apple on Marika!"

The Penguin who was checking the program covered his face and shouted.

"The props that can trigger this special plot are placed on the objects that trigger the special plot. Is there any mistake?"

"Now that he's running, don't worry about him anymore!" This is a programmer whose virtual body has cirrhosis of the liver.

"Anyway, as long as you defeat [One-Eye], you can unlock the intelligence restrictions of all dwarf races. Find an opportunity to reveal some information to those top guilds, or we can open an account ourselves and kill that guy."

"Can those top guilds win [One Eye] without plot props?"

"Fuck, don't underestimate those natural disasters, okay? [Um], if we didn't need plot props to fight the third stage, the Golden Kingdom project would have been dug up long ago."

"Ah, for the strongest guild [Fairy Kingdom], it is indeed possible."

"Fortunately, there are only three special items in the third stage of the challenge."

Chapter 11 Tips for finding helpers

LV? , it seems that the strength gap between the two is so great that even Dalian can't see clearly the level of the other party. But this is actually bluffing. If it is really an enemy that is so powerful that it is difficult to identify, should the LV be displayed? ? ? That's right.

The combat power of the incarnation of the curse of the evil god is not high, but there are a lot of them. No matter how many incarnations of the curse of the evil god that Blaze kills in one go with his twisted giant sword, more will appear immediately.

And you won't get any experience points by defeating them, and your skill proficiency will not increase.

The teeth and claws left dazzling sparks on the armor, but they also did not cause any damage.

Like, this is just a dream that never ends.

Blaze tirelessly waved the giant sword in his hand, sometimes switching to fists. He did not stop until black mud no longer poured out of the stars in the chaotic space and the entire space became brighter.

After the turbidity disappeared, Blazer could clearly see the original appearance of the entire space, which looked like the inside of a plant, showing a vibrant light green color.

Huge plants may be composed of countless blood vessels and connective tissue just like the human body, and golden liquid flows in the plant's blood vessels.

[Thank you, someone from a distant land...]

【You free me from nightmare】

A person steps into this world, which has long golden hair, a pair of gentle green eyes, and is not half-clothed but not dirty at all.

[Tree of Life Spiritual Body LV? ? ? 】

[The incarnation of the soul of the tree of life, a member of the ancient race, the source of life in the forest, voluntarily dedicating his body to worship the living beings and also the guide of the paradise]

Blaze turned around. It was an indistinguishable male and female creature. Although it had a human appearance, it felt inhuman everywhere. Its appearance is extremely beautiful, but people can only think of it as a plant.

I don't know if it was his imagination, but this person's appearance was accompanied by sacred orchestral music.

[You...are not a visitor from a foreign land? This is my first time seeing humans come here. 】

The Tree of Life hesitated, tilting its head in confusion as if it had no words to prepare for this unexpected guest.

The Tree of Life approached Blaze with a cheerful pace with his hands behind his back. After approaching, he sniffed like an animal and wrinkled his light green eyebrows.

[The shape of the soul is wrong, like a stranger in a foreign land with the residual heat of the stars... You are really a strange existence. 】

Blaze knew that he was very strange. After all, there are no two identical people in this world, and there is no transfer of blessings, but both of these things happened to him.

But since the incident has already happened, as long as the negative impact of the incident is resolved, the whole incident can become a great good thing.

【Why don't you speak? 】

Because even if you say it, you will be misunderstood. Blaze hesitated for a moment and said hello, and sure enough, the helmet distorted it into the roar of a beast.

[The language of the Golden Kingdom? I haven't heard that in years. 】

The Golden Kingdom... was originally a world of animals, uh, beasts? Blaze scratched the back of his head and sighed.

【A thousand years? Five thousand? Still further ago, when I was just a seed, he held me in his arms and told me the sadness of the fall of my hometown. 】

The Tree of Life showed an expression of remembrance.

"Then can you tell me about the Golden Country?"

[If you want to miss your hometown from me, then I'm sorry. 】

The Tree of Life waved its hand, and the surrounding environment changed into a perspective like that of some tiny being lying on the ground looking up at the sky. In the sky, which was even more beautiful than now and decorated with countless light spots, a scorching fireball fell to the earth.

[That was when I was still a seed, which caused a huge impact on the extinction of dinosaur species and giant insect species, and the Golden Kingdom fell at that time. 】

[Although our tree of life is connected to each other, our roots cannot touch the place where the gold spreads, and all we know are the stories brought by the ancient bards. 】

[If you want to know about the Golden Kingdom, go look for the ancient race, the elves. In ancient times, they exchanged stories of distant lands for the right to live in us, and they are the oldest bard race. 】

"is it?"

Blaze has seen many elves, but they are all strangers. Local elves are extremely rare, so it may be difficult to find them. But he is not distressed, because the Golden Sea of ​​Trees that you can go to after completing the challenge is also one of the largest elven tribes.

[By the way, I cannot open the passage to the Sea of ​​Golden Trees now. 】

"Ugh!"

For some reason, Blazer sensed the cunningness of "I'm waiting for you right here" in this tree that was full of sanctity and inviolability.

Speaking of which, many strangers have complained that they were caught up in a hunting incident by a certain racial pure-blood party and a half-blood party, even though they were just sending a letter to an old lady who was dying. But at that time, although the stranger looked distressed, he was actually showing off to the jealous and envious strangers around him who were almost bleeding and crying.

[Hundred-birth Ganges, the blood of the evil god has recently been activated. They are obeying the call, eroding the soil and crawling towards a new master. The traitors are watching eagerly, and I cannot open the door to my homeland to allow the blood of the evil god and its followers a chance to invade the last pure land. 】

Blaze crossed his arms and raised his head to admire the golden veins of the sky, not intending to answer the tree of life's words. It must be that kind of development at this time. He was very worried and decided to immediately help the Tree of Life solve the problem of the Hundred Ganges River, and then headed to the Sea of ​​Golden Trees.

But he is very calm. He is now at LV35, how can he possibly solve the problem of Ganghe having fetuses? Just the embryonic form of the Nemean Lion King required him and three strangers to solve it together. What about the subsequent juvenile and adult bodies? Not to mention there are other types of monsters.

It is said that there are a total of 12 beast kings who betrayed the forest, and there is no doubt that all of them are monsters over level . He can't defeat any of them.

The Tree of Life was looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to promise to solve the problem while patting its chest.

"S, SKIP!" Blaze euphemistically expressed that he didn't want to continue listening.

[Thank you for accepting this task. I will mark the locations of the 12 betrayers for you now. 】

"Hey!"

Without waiting for Blaze to refuse, the tree of life waved its hand, and the blessing automatically opened, and a circular pattern representing the map appeared in the upper right corner. The map unfolded, and a square continent appeared, with three terrifying red cracks that were extremely conspicuous even from a bird's eye view, and then densely packed light spots filled the surrounding area with bloodstains.

"No, didn't you say there were only 12?"

[There are only 12 betrayers, but they will give birth to children, and when the children grow up, they will give birth to children, and the cycle continues with more and more children]
