The red sun sets in the west, the twilight is all around, and the sky gradually dims.

In an almost pristine jungle.

Thorne's figure leaped between the trees, and his speed was very fast, often passing by like a phantom in an instant.

"Clap!"

Suddenly, Thorne fell from the tree pole, stepped on dead branches and fallen leaves, and stopped beside a towering tree.

"It seems that no other rangers have been here during the time I left." Thorne confirmed by looking at the ranger mark on the tree trunk.

Half a year ago, when he took the sorceress Andrina and the old troll butler to Twilight Town to escape, he once passed by here in search of a lich lair.

It was the ranger mark on the tree trunk that reminded him that there was a lake spirit in a lake about a kilometer ahead, so he killed the lake spirit and got her long hair, which was exchanged for a lot of money from the plane merchant. gold.

And the goal of his coming here today is to go to the lich's lair that he looted.

According to Horat's intelligence, let him know that the plane merchant disappeared in the ruins of Yuanshan Town.

Within the scope of the ruins of Yuanshan Town, there was only one place to hide, such as the Lich's Lair, so he thought of it right away.

Then, during his journey on the hippocampus, another incident suddenly reminded him that the plane merchant was hiding in the lich's lair.

When he stepped into the lich's lair for the first time, in addition to getting a purple and excellent quality silver cross pendant, he also got a book page made of unknown materials in the deepest part of the lair. The content of the failure of the Church of God plan.

He just thought that the plane merchants should be hiding there.

As for why he was hiding in such a place to meet him, Thorne felt that when he found the plane merchant, the other party would definitely reveal some secrets he didn't know for himself.

If this kind of secret is known by some incomprehensible unknown being, it will definitely cause big trouble.

In other words, this lich lair should have some kind of ability to isolate prophecy detection.

Of course, these are all his unilateral brain supplements. As for whether this is the case, we will only know after we meet.

Now, through the strange behavior of the plane merchant, he understands that this guy is very likely to belong to the internal tester or the church of killing gods.

Moreover, the plane merchants living in Twilight Town to provide assistance with various magical items for their otherworldly compatriots are also likely to do it deliberately.

So what is their real purpose?

Thorne believes that it is very likely that it has something to do with the God-building plan.

As for the god-building plan, if you think about it in a positive way, it is to create a new **** that can shelter their fellow aliens, and then protect them to take root in this world and form a new race.

If so, it will be a very good plan for all my fellow citizens.

But is it really as simple as it seems?

It would be naive if he believed it.

After all that is a god.

What does "God" stand for?

Even a weaker **** has the powerful ability to kill or kill the legend of destiny in the main material world.

In the entire Toril universe, there has never been a mortal who successfully killed a **** without the secret support of any **** behind him.

Therefore, it is normal for the God-killing Church's God-killing plan to fail.

Otherwise, they would not think about changing the plan and carrying out the God-building plan.

However, if you think about it carefully, if their plan to create a **** is really successful, they will create a new god, and then relying on the abilities of their otherworldly compatriots, maybe they can really turn over an old **** and replace it.

But if you want to confer a god, it is almost impossible without a long-term plan or strong backstage support.

Although he didn't know much about the so-called conferred gods, at least he knew that when a mortal held the ceremony of conferring gods, it meant that he was likely to become an enemy of the whole world.

If there is a conflict between the priesthood of the new **** and the old god, I am afraid that he will not directly descend the incarnation, and take advantage of your illness to kill you.

The competition for the priesthood is even more tragic than the battle of Taoism. Without a tragic battle, it is simply impossible to stabilize one's own divine position.

This is what is called a difficult beginning.

Thinking of Thorne here, it seems that he has understood the ultimate purpose of these beta testers.

"I just don't know how much blood of my compatriots is needed to complete this road to consecration." Thorne glanced at the afterglow of the sunset that had long disappeared from the horizon, and couldn't help but sigh.

Since the arrival of their player group is also part of the Conferred God plan, it means that they will definitely play a major role in the future.

As for what this so-called "action" actually means, even Thorne didn't dare to think about it any further. He could only secretly pray in his heart that such a thing would never happen.

Before he knew it, Thorne had come to the lake where he fought with the lake spirit.

Looking at the slightly rippling water waves and many water birds playing on the lake, he did not choose to disturb the beautiful picture, but walked along the lake to the direction of the lich's lair.

"Swish..."

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the bushes not far away, which caught Thorne's attention.

As he cast his gaze over, a black wild boar emerged from the bushes, whimpering and screeching as he ran to his footsteps, putting his dirty head on his trouser legs. Rub up and down.

"It turned out to be you. It seems that this plane merchant is well prepared. If I choose to settle in the ruins of Yuanshan Town, I guess he has other ways to guide me here." Thorne crouched down and stroked The head of the wild boar looked at the place where the lich's lair was.

He could still recognize this little wild boar. It was a small animal injured by a skeleton that he rescued when he passed by the Blue Leaf Forest.

If he doesn't choose to help, it will directly become the dinner of the old troll butler.

Because of this, he was aware of the information that there might be a lich's lair somewhere in the little wild boar's injury.

This little wild boar seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and he motioned for him to follow behind it with his eyes humanely.

So, following Thorne all the way, as expected, he took him to the hidden entrance of the lich's lair.

Seeing the little wild boar disappearing into the bushes again, Thorne cautiously checked the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked in directly.

Going all the way through the dark cave, he came unimpeded to the deepest part, where he found the mysterious page.

Just like last time, there are stone bookshelves upside down in this room.

In front of it is a pure black marble table. Many odds and ends on it have already been cleaned up. On the stone bench next to it sits a thin old man with a white beard dragged to his knees. It is he. The plane merchant to look for.

"Hello." Seeing the thin old man looking at himself with interest, Thorne, who felt uncomfortable, was the first to break the silence and greeted him.

"Take it out." The thin old man sitting on the stone bench looked at Thorne, and said with a smile on his wrinkled old face.

Thorne didn't hesitate, and threw the quaint round square hole coin that Malvasa gave him.

"Om!"

Just when the coin was about to fall in front of the thin old man, a magic light suddenly flashed, and then it floated eerily in the air.

The thin old man who saw this situation immediately restrained his smile, got up from the stone bench, and looked at the coins with a serious face,

I saw his arms, which were covered by the wide sleeves, slowly stretched out, made a hugging gesture, and then gently closed and crossed them against his chest, leaned down slightly and saluted, and said to himself with a solemn expression:

"Our time is coming when:

The leaves fall, the buds wither,

The fruit is rotten, the grain is bitter,

The rivers dry up, the earth cracks open,

The gods fall, and all things return to dust. "
