Chapter 128 128 The Bright Relic
After sending the four girls away, Jack was about to go back to the small world to have a rest. At the resurrection site in the dark night forest, a white light lit up.
"The warrior who can kill demons. I didn't expect to meet you here."
It was Amy, whom Jack had met before.
"Miss Amy, why are you here?" Jack was stunned.
Wasn't Amy supposed to stay at the border of the Esmira Empire? After all, she was the NPC who invited players to Esmira Empire.
"The empire has sent me a task to investigate the dark night forest."
"Warrior, are you free now? I want to ask you for a favor," Amy said with a smile.
"No problem," Jack nodded and said.
"Ding!"
"You've triggered a hidden task: a fallen soul."
After Jack agreed, the prompt tone of the system came, which made Jack a little unprepared.
"Unexpectedly, I've triggered the hidden task." Jack was still in a daze. Then Amy pulled him into the dark night forest.
"Warrior, you must have noticed it in the dark night forest. The environment here is very gloomy," Amy said on the way.
"Yes, but it fits its name very well." Jack nodded.
Amy: "No, this place was called the bright relic. It was the place where a bright leader of the Esmira Empire died."
Jack gradually understood what Amy meant.
About 1300 years ago, the Esmira Empire had a fierce battle, and the devil king destroyed a lot of things.
The mortals of the Esmira Empire were in great pain.
They begged God to send an angel to help them eliminate the devil king.
Finally, under their pray, the bright leader Tov appeared. He led the army to fight the devil king.
The battle lasted for three days and nights. Finally, Tov killed the devil king.
And he died in this forest.
In order to thank the dead Tov, people changed the name of this place to the bright relic.
Jack: "Then why is this place called dark night forest now?"
Hearing this, Amy showed a sad expression on her face.
She sighed and said, "The story started 500 years ago."
At that time, the king of the Esmira Empire didn't believe in the legend of the bright relic and thought that both Tov and the devil king were made up.
Therefore, the king ordered to abolish the holiday of mourning the bright leader Tov.
He even changed the bright relic into a cell and imprisoned some condemned prisoners.
After a long time, the soul of the devil king, which was defeated by the bright leader, was not destroyed. It absorbed the resentment of the condemned prisoners and gradually became stronger.
Finally, the devil king broke the seal and appeared in the world again.
Jack: "Then who stopped the devil king?"
Amy: "It's the bright leader, Tov."
"Tov's soul appeared and dueled with the devil king, completely defeating him."
Speaking of this, Amy showed a sad expression on her face again.
Jack was confused and didn't know why Amy had such an expression.
Jack: "Then why is this place called dark night forest now?"
Amy: "Although Tov defeated the devil king, his soul was eroded and became violent, and he even hurt people."
"Later, Tov sealed himself and told the world not to mourn him anymore..."
500 years was not a long time. After several generations, the story of the bright relic had long been lost. Because the place was too gloomy, it was changed to a dark night forest.
The story is about a hero who did not end well
Perhaps for Tov, it was good to die quietly like this. His era had long passed.
Jack sighed. Although it was a story in the game, such a hero was worthy of admiration.
When the story was finished, Amy said angrily, "But recently, our scouts reported that there are some suspicious people appearing in the dark night forest. I don't know what these people want to do."
"Warrior, the dark night forest is too big. Let's separate first and look for suspicious people. We can meet later."
After saying that, Amy ran to the other side to look for clues.
Jack continued to walk forward and searched for clues according to the instructions of the task.
"Suspicious people?"
Walking in the dark night forest, Jack felt that someone was following behind him, and there were countless eyes looking at him.
"There were some people ahead."
On the way, Jack heard the conversation and immediately walked forward.
"Who is it?"
"Boss, don't care about him. Let's fight together."
Four men in black suddenly emerged from the bushes, with swords in their hands, and rushed towards Jack.
"God-King Shield, move."
Jack raised his hand and the God-King shield appeared, blocking them.
"Bang!"
-0
-3000
-3000
-3000
Damage numbers appeared. The three men in front of Jack spat out blood and fell to the ground.
There was only one man left. Seeing that Jack was so powerful, he turned around and wanted to run away.
"God-King Flash!"
The next moment, Jack appeared in front of the man. With the God-King shield on the man's throat, he said coldly, "If you dare to move, I'll kill you."
"Don't kill me. I surrender. I'll give you money..."
The man raised his hands, trembling all over. Especially when he saw Jack defeat the three people in an instant, he didn't even dare to resist.
"Warrior, are you okay?"
At this time, Amy's voice came from afar.
With a burst of rapid footsteps, Amy came from another road.
"Amy, why are you here?" The man's face turned pale at the sight of Amy.
If it weren't for Jack, he would run away.
"Clive, the leader of the robbers, why do you come to the dark night forest?" Amy frowned and stared at the man named Clive.
"You know each other?" Jack was confused and put down his shield.
Amy said, "Of course, I know him. He is a robber who often robs vendors outside Norlin City. He has criminal records."
Hearing this, Clive felt a little embarrassed. He raised his head and said, "I did something wrong, but I didn't break the law in the dark night forest, did I?"
"Even if you are the leader of the reconnaissance team, you can't abuse your power. I didn't make any mistakes. You can't arrest me."
Clive said seriously. Then he turned around confidently and was about to leave.
"Stop!"
"Although you didn't break the law, why did you have a dispute with the warrior?" Amy asked.
"If you are innocent, I will give you a fair result if you tell me the truth."
As soon as Amy finished her words, Clive waved his hand and said, "There's a misunderstanding. I'm going to leave."
Jack: "They are hiding here. They must be looking for something."
After Jack said that, Clive's face changed.
And when he saw Amy's sharp eyes, he didn't dare to hide anything and told her the truth.
Amy exclaimed after hearing what Clive said.
"How dare you dig out the treasures in the bright relic?"
