Actually, this is an old-fashioned story.

Ten years ago.

There is a mountain called Huoshen Mountain.

There is a village called the hometown of fire source.

The climate here is hot, but it is not as good as the sky is covered with gray weather. Instead, the vegetation is lush and hot springs are everywhere, making it a tourist destination.

But suddenly one day, a terrible monster came nearby.

--【dragon】.

The dragon is entrenched in the volcano. Its existence turns the extinct volcano into an active volcano, with the temperature rising sharply and everything withering.

Moreover, the dragon flew out of the volcano to feed regularly and ravaged everywhere, and countless villagers in the fire source land were killed and injured.

Gradually, because the climate became harsh, tourists were reluctant to come, and the fire source declined and no one cared about it.

After all, tourists just want to travel here, and no one wants to fight for their lives.

On the [Giant Beast Poros], a very far away from here, on the other end of the volcano, there is a powerful empire called the Kingdom of Amara.

The Kingdom of Amara once sent troops to try to attack the monster, but eventually failed and ended up leaving it alone.

Anyway, Mount Huoshen is far away from their country, so the Kingdom of Amara takes it as if it was not seen and turns a blind eye.

In the end, it was a tourist village built on the mountain in the hometown of Fire Source.

The Land of Fire Source is a village with an ancient tradition. In addition to believing in the god "Uranos", it also believes in "Poros" and respected as the God of Fire.

Every generation of village chiefs calls themselves "the shadow of the hometown of fire", abbreviated as... Naruto.

The previous generation of Naruto, with the previous generation of witches, Kikyo's mother, decided to attack the evil dragon entrenched in the Huoshen Mountain.

Also accompanying Kikyo's childhood sweetheart, a childhood playmate, Han Meimei was so handsome that she was so handsome that she talked about, and Yasha every day - who said "I am the man destined to be a Naruto".

Before Han Meimei finished speaking, Yi Lin had already guessed the ending of the story.

"All dead?"

Han Meimei and Li Lei's eyes widened in an instant.

"Sir Engineer, how do you know?"

Is this a guess?

This kind of old-fashioned story that can guess the ending at the beginning is no surprise except that it can make up for the world view setting.

In Han Meimei's sad context, if you suddenly say it, the previous Naruto suddenly burst out of the small universe, slaughtered the dragon, and cut it into slices and skewed into meat skewers.

This HE ending may bring some surprises to Yi Lin, thinking that this is an excellent script full of reversal plots.

Which dog planned the script?

Yi Lin complained secretly.

Combined with his identity as a brave man, wouldn’t he be a brave dragon quarreling after thinking about it?

After learning the background story of the Fire Source Land, Yi Lin sat in front of Han Meimei and Li Lei for a while, but the pleasant tinging sound did not arrive as promised.

Yi Lin did not receive the task as he imagined.

He was a little surprised now.

"I understand so well that there is no task prompt yet? Why? Could it be that the hidden branch in the fire source country must be released by Kikyo himself?" Yi Lin thought for a while, then squinted his eyes and asked casually: "By the way, I'm a little curious. My lifelong friend Gelang Blacksmith is the one who hides in the small dark room all day long. You know him, right? My best friend, he mentioned something."

Yi Lin sat upright and glanced across Han Meimei and Li Lei's faces: "He said, the 'Vulcan God Festival' is about to begin."

Han Meimei and Li Lei quickly looked at each other.

"The witch said that the 'Vulcan Sacrifice' cannot be mentioned to outsiders."

After the two were silent for a moment, Li Lei stepped forward and said.

Yi Lin smiled: "I am not an outsider, Gelang Blacksmith is my good friend! We fought a war together, and we had faced thousands of troops together, climbed over the wall together, and jumped over the sea together. If you don't believe it, you can ask him, he is next door anyway."

After saying a rare truth, Yi Lin changed his voice and waved to the two of them: "But since you treat me as an outsider, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. I won't be angry or sad. Anyway, I just asked casually and didn't take it too seriously."

"And, I'm leaving in a few days."

Han Meimei pursed her lips and her eyes flashed a few times.

The dog pretended to be harmless, licking his face and shaking his tail, whistling.

The room was completely quiet.

Only the breathing of three people and the sound of the dog shaking its tail.

After a moment of silence.

Han Meimei raised her head, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she spoke: "Since the previous generation of Naruto and the previous generation of witches, Kikyo has become very depressed. She has become a witch of this generation ten years ago. After taking over as a witch, Kikyo entered the 'Huoshen Mountain'..."

"Meimei!"

When Li Lei heard that Han Meimei seemed to tell the truth, he couldn't help but hold Han Meimei's arm and prevented her from saying the subsequent content.

"Do you want to watch your sister die with your own eyes?"

"Meimei! Stop it! I'm for the village!"

"Does Li Nali have to die for the sake of the village?!"

Han Meimei asked back on her own.

Li Lei's expression was as if he was shocked and he instantly withered.

Han Meimei ignored Li Lei's dissuasion and said loudly: "After that day, the witch girl personally entered the Huoshen Mountain and asked the Huoshen God to appear and eliminate the evil dragon!"

"ah?"

Yi Lin's expression was slightly stunned.

Ah this?

No?

Yi Lin was a little confused.

After hearing the beginning of this old-fashioned story, he guessed the ending, but never guessed that [Dragon Quest Season 2] would be like this.

"Dragon, dead?"

Han Meimei nodded vigorously: "The determination of the witch moved Lord Vulcan, and he personally eliminated the 'dragon'. But after that day, the witch signed a contract with the witch. Every year, the witch had to select a 'bride' and sent it to the Fiery Mountain in person to serve Lord Vulcan throughout his life, using this as the price of asking the gods to take action."

"This is the 'Vulcan Sacrifice'."

Yi Lin did not comment on the second plot of the story, looked at Li Lei calmly, and asked, "This year's offering... uh no, bride, is it your sister?"

At first, Li Lei wanted to stop Han Meimei, but later he gave up and said nothing but silent. He looked ugly and squeezed out a word from his teeth.

"yes!"

"Li Nali?"

"Yes." Li Lei lowered his head again.

Han Meimei added: "Li Nali is my...best friend!"

Yi Lin pondered for a moment, smiled and asked again: "Did anyone of you see the corpse of that dragon with your own eyes?"

Han Meimei shook her head: "How is it possible! The god takes action, and Long Ding will be the corpse without a single body."

"When will the Fire God Festival begin?"

"At this time of year, 'gray rain' will fall around the Huoshen Mountain. This is Lord Voice warning us that it is time to present the 'bride'. The gray rain will last for a whole month. The witch will choose one day to hold a grand ceremony in the village, bathe and change clothes for the bride, and then send it to Huoshen Mountain in person."

"I see."

Yi Lin roughly understood.

Han Meimei and Li Lei had different eyes and looked at Yi Lin.

Yi Lin waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your bedtime story. I'm ready to go. You guys will go first, see you tomorrow."

"ah???"

Han Meimei and Li Lei were shocked when they saw Yi Lin squatting the order to expel guests.

Yi Lin smiled and asked, "You don't think I'll do anything, right? Don't think too much, I'm a friendly engineer and will not mess with your "Vulcan Sacrifice".

In the end, Han Meimei and Li Lei left here with complicated emotions on their faces.

From beginning to end, no exclamation mark popped up on the foreheads of the two NPCs.

It seems that it's really just a loneliness chat.

"So that's the setting."

While Yi Lin changed into a clean bathrobe and soaked in the hot spring, he took out the "tools" and the [Death Revolver], and meticulously carved the crisscrossing patterns on the [Death Revolver].

“This game is really interesting.”
