Chapter 8 The Quiet Village

"Although in the Age of Disasters, when the demons from the abyss failed to invade Great Six, they have never given up on this thought for tens of thousands of years, and have tried various possibilities again and again, and have failed in their attempts again and again."

"More than a hundred years ago, an incident occurred in Engel's village, that is, Crowley's village. The specific situation of the incident is no longer verified because of the deliberate cover-up of some big names, but from the intermittent and vague news, we can know that it was probably a conspiracy of the demon of the abyss."

"Since then, Engel's village has become a deserted place, and people seem to have completely forgotten that place, intentionally or unintentionally, and no one has ever mentioned it, and no one has lived in it for a hundred years."

Wu Qi sat in the teleportation array to Sada Town, and while walking on the wilderness heading to Engel Village, he recalled the news that the library administrator had said earlier.

What is the specific situation of the incident? Why is it deliberately covered up? Wu Qi was a little confused, but he was unable to know the truth.

I hope this mission has nothing to do with what happened a hundred years ago... Wu Qi sighed in his heart and gave him a silent blessing. In the game, once it is related to historical changes, the difficulty coefficient will increase greatly, not to mention that this matter seems to be very involved. The disappearance of a village is hidden, and the power of those people can be imagined.

It's really fun to have tasks to do in this game where it's hard to find. The greater the difficulty coefficient, the richer the rewards, and it's true that Wu Qi thinks he is a little self-aware. With him, a small level 6 mage, who is involved in things that affect history, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to die.

It took almost an hour to get from Sada Town to Crowryde Village, which made Wu Qi glad that the system opened the teleportation array system. Otherwise, with the vastness of Ethivan, not to mention the others, just running from Vallaze to Crowryde Village, he was exhausted before he arrived.

Perhaps because of the long-term war and unrest of civilization, or the game deliberately made it, the villages and towns that Wu Qi saw were either next to many deserted forests or on the lush wasteland, full of barbaric feeling.

The same is true for the long-abandoned village of Crowryde.

What can happen in more than a hundred years? It can be from nothing to something, from existence to disappear, and can make people forget it and history does not exist. However, in Crowley, in just a blink of an eye, everything remains the same, just like yesterday, or the master just left for a while, as if he came back casually.

Wu Qi entered the village gate that still stood tall and still remained unfallen. The street paved with bluestone, and the street running through the east and west of the village was almost no different, except for layers of dust.

The houses are still standing, dead trees are still there, and the ancient wells and streets are all displayed in front of Wu Qi without reservation.

Wu Qi frowned slightly, not because of all the unchanged scenes. In this magical world, it is normal for a century-old stone house to be immortal, and it is not uncommon for the dead trees to fall.

He frowned because it was too quiet!

Yes, it's too quiet!

The dead trees do not hear the birds singing, and the water is hard to see in the ancient well. In such a large abandoned village, a tree that grows vigorously and has never seen the new green trees. Dead trees everywhere are dead and silent. Even the wild beasts that can be seen everywhere in the outside world are hard to see, only dead trees are dead and silent.

Too quiet!

Wu Qi slowly stepped on the dusty bluestone street, and his cloth boots stomped on the rolling dust, churning in the low place. The tuk-tuk footsteps gradually moved away from step by step, and went deeper into the village.

Where to start? What should I do? Wu Qi was confused. He opened the taskbar and there was no point in it, but just said that he would leave it to himself to solve it.

How to solve it? Wu Qi gritted his teeth secretly and decided to follow his usual habits and go straight to the point!

Look at the abandoned houses listed on both sides of the village street, the courtyard gates are either open or closed, and they come at will.

Wu Qi casually found an open door and walked in. The eaves were still drying clothes, but the clothes had long been decayed and filled with dust, which could be vaguely distinguished from the wreckage.

The wooden and wooden windows in the house are all open, and the afternoon sun shines into the house without any obstruction. The tables and chairs in the house are still the same. The sunlight is shady in the house, but it makes people feel a sense of gloom that accumulates in the heart.

Wu Qi searched for the things in the house, but there was nothing strange about it. It seemed that the owner just left temporarily and would come back at any time. He did not leave in a hurry or was in a hurry. Everything was cleaned up and everything was neat.

The more this happens, the more confusion Wu Qi is in his heart.

What was the incident more than a hundred years ago? What did your mission have to do with that incident?

Although he was full of confusion and confusion, Wu Qi was not impatient or anxious. First, his years of experience in the game gave him a lot of confidence and patience. Second, he was clearly stated in the game that there was an abnormality in Crowleyde's village, and he was entrusted to solve the problem. Since this is the case, there will definitely be an abnormality, and there is no need to worry that he cannot show it.

So what is the abnormality?

Wu Qi firmly believes that as long as you continue to explore, there will be results.

After there was no result in the house, Wu Qi was not discouraged. He returned to the street and moved forward slowly, but his eyes were on the houses on both sides, not missing any details.

Suddenly, Wu Qi's eyes narrowed, and his eyes fell on a courtyard next to the street, and he refused to move away again.

There seems to be no difference in other courtyards. Compared with other courtyards, three bluestone houses are arranged quietly according to the main and secondary, and small fences surround the abandoned vegetable garden. There are already no vegetables in the vegetable garden, covered with dust, and no weeds grow.

This is the classic style of the Hobert dynasty village, but it was gradually abandoned fifty years ago and became a simpler style now.

However, through the fence and through the closed wooden window, Wu Qi keenly caught a figure flashing from the house, and his figure was short and flashed by!

Something is there!

Wu Qi's mind changed rapidly. He didn't care about everything and stepped into the open courtyard first, took the lead, and came to the room where the house was closed.

Wu Qi took a deep breath, sang the spell secretly, holding the staff in front of his chest, pressing the empty palm on the door, slowly pushing it open.

With a creaking sound, the door sounded crisply in the empty space, and the door slowly opened, accompanied by the rich afternoon sunshine.

More than a hundred years later, the empty and dark room was slowly opened by the door, and the afternoon sun was able to shine in for the first time, breaking through the darkness and seeing the light.
