A different world game? A different world game!

Chapter 114 Praise the Bone Skull Master
Ashforge.

In the medical institution.

This stone building finally has a higher ceiling than normal dwarven buildings.

In this way, even if Kana and others are among them, they will not accidentally hit the ceiling due to their height.

However, for Lelia and the other two who are even taller than her, it is just good enough.

As for other dwarf buildings, the two of them could hardly think of entering them. Even bending down would be a hassle for them.

At this time they were already in the infirmary of Ashforge, and in front of them was a bed made of steel.

There was a dwarf lying unconscious on the hospital bed. It was Totesai who had fought with Kana before.

After the battle, they urgently sent Totse all the way to Ashforge Castle.

Although Kana knew why the situation happened, he did not express his knowledge directly. Instead, he walked along normally without asking too many questions.

At this time, the dwarf's limbs were bound by thick chains. Treating an unconscious patient in this way was obviously not normal behavior for dwarves.

Next to Kana and the others was the long-missed Lurek.

After receiving the news, he was the first to rush over.

Looking at Kana who had arrived, Lurek looked at Totse who was unconscious and tied up on the hospital bed.

He sighed, "Ah, I should have thought of it earlier. Totse would be the most easily influenced group."

After saying that, he turned back to look at Kana and the others: "It's really embarrassing that guests like you have encountered such a thing."

Cana didn't care about these things, waved his hand casually, and looked at Totse on the hospital bed.

Asked: "What's wrong with him? Looking at his appearance, it's obvious that he has been affected by something, right?
The desire for war was aroused, and he was deeply trapped in the desire to fight and could not extricate himself. "

Hearing Kana's words, Lurik sighed again and nodded. "As expected of you, your guess is spot on. Just as you suspected, he was possessed by some desire, lost in the battle, unable to extricate himself."

It's not just him. Many dwarves have experienced this situation in recent days.

They have now awakened, but have been forcibly restrained and imprisoned in an underground prison. It would be too dangerous to leave them there."

Ah, indeed it is.

Although Kana had anticipated this when he was fighting with Totesai, he couldn't help but frown when he actually knew what was going on.

Obviously, this was another unexpected thing for him.

It's one of those things that makes perfect sense if you think about it.

Sure enough, the butterfly's slight flap of its wings had a much greater impact than he had imagined.

Especially on something like this.

Cana had guessed before that, because of his influence, the dwarves might be attacked by the vampires, or even disturbed by the evil gods they had repelled before.

Who knew that he only guessed half right, and the one who came was the [Lord of the Bone Skull], whom Kana had never expected to appear at this time.

More people like to call this evil god "The Beheader". As the name suggests, the most special sign of both this evil god and his believers is that once they commit a tragedy, the victim will definitely have his head chopped off.

And no matter whether it is its believers or various organizations, the tragedy caused must be large-scale deaths, and the skulls will be stacked.

The sacrifices to their gods also involved various heads and bloody and tragic scenes.

This is undoubtedly an evil god, and it can be said clearly and with certainty that it is an evil god that has invaded from the outside world.

The level is probably the same as that of [Rotten Monarch].

They may not be at the top level, but they are definitely among the very powerful ones.

At this time, Lurik continued, "Just a few days ago, in a forested area north of Gray Mountain, there was a goblin camp that had just migrated there.

But when Eric and the others…”

After Lurek briefly described what had happened in the past few days.

Everyone finally understood the situation the dwarves were facing.

Simply put, they were affected again, just as they had been cursed by the plague before.

Moreover, this time it is more difficult to guard against than the plague curse, there is no sign at all, and the harm caused to the affected dwarves is more serious.

Inexplicably, some dwarves will fall into the desire to fight in some situations, and they will get deeper and deeper into it until they can't help themselves and start attacking indiscriminately.

"I'm sorry that you encountered this upon arriving."

Hearing this, Kana smiled and said, "No, no, actually, I should say that I came at the right time. I do have some understanding of this kind of curse."

"Really?!" Lu Ruike was a little surprised.

Although they knew where the influence on the dwarves came from and what caused it, the problem was that they were unable to prevent it or even identify the potential victims.

Not to mention how to eliminate this impact.

Cana nodded, he wasn't kidding.

He was somewhat thankful that he had arrived early. If he had arrived a little later, he would not have been able to see the Gray Mountain Dwarves.

Only the remaining refugees who might be able to protect the dwarves.

"In that case, come with me. It just so happens that the other two want to see you."

As he spoke, Lurik brought Kana and others directly to the hall of the three-person council.

The hall of this parliament is quite spacious, and the ceiling is two or three meters high. Even Lelia and the others can move around freely here.

Feeling this space, Lelia supported her head and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's much better here. I always feel squeezed in other places."

"Haha, don't worry, we have houses here for tall creatures. Although they haven't been used for a long time."

A dwarf came out from another door, laughing.

The dwarf's beard was surprisingly wheat-yellow, and he had thick, wild hair on his head.

The whole person looked like a golden lion, not to mention that he was wearing a slightly scratched but extremely heavy armor.

The momentum of the person walking over gave people the impression that a mountain was in motion.

There was also a dwarf next to him. This dwarf looked much more normal, but was obviously older than Lurek.

It was the kind of old age that even they could see, even when facing a race like the dwarves whose faces were extremely similar.

"Let me introduce you. This is Sergio Grayshan, the lord of Grayforge Castle."

"This is our master brewer—Tovi Golden Flower Wine Huishan."

The lord of Ashforge Castle, named Sergio, strode up to Cana and patted him on the back.

"Strong body, young man—very impressive, hahahaha."

He looks both familiar and humble.

"Evil Breaker, young man, you are a little thinner than I thought." The brewing master couldn't help laughing.

Kana wasn't exactly thin among humans, and could even be described as a bit stocky, but he preferred wearing baggy clothes.

"Okay, you two, don't scare our friend, he's trying to help us!"

Lurek couldn't help but speak out to stop him.

The two laughed, said a few words, and then sat back in their seats.

Lurik gave Cana an apologetic look, but Cana just smiled slightly.

Although he was a little surprised, it was okay. After all, he already had some expectations about the personalities of these two people.

But I have to say that this kind of unique personality display is indeed much more natural in reality than in games.

Kana nodded and looked at the three-person council, some dwarves who followed them, and Aliris and others.

He said to Popot, "Write this down, Popot. The Night's Watch will need it later."

Popot nodded and changed to a larger notebook.

"Given the history of you dwarves, I believe the three of you must know what you are facing, right?" Kana asked a question first.

Dwarves like Getari didn't understand much. They didn't know that period of history, and they didn't even try to understand it.

Although dwarves record history, they will not record it if it is not important, and the younger generations of dwarves do not like to look back on the past.

"Well, we have a rough guess. It's very likely the enemy our ancestors fought so hard against thousands of years ago."

After hearing what Lurek said, Getari and others probably knew what he was talking about. They slapped their heads and recalled it.

Although dwarves do not like to look back on the past, they still know about such important historical events.

Not to mention that this is a glorious history worthy of praise. "[Bone Lord], an invader from the outside world, a true evil god."

Kana said.

He flicked his fingers slightly and the blood flew out of his hand.

The blood formed a symbol in the air.

Inside the inverted triangle is a skull that resembles a human skull, but with many different distortions.

"This is its symbol. Those who believe in it will use this symbol for their faith and worship.

This evil god is undoubtedly a demon, a demon born from the abyss."

"Demon?" Popot frowned.

Others were a little confused. In this world, "demon" was a proper noun, used to describe only one thing.

It doesn't have much to do with evil or chaos.

"Yes, demons, chaotic and evil things. About a thousand years ago, the world must have been plagued by demons."

Khanna added.

Lu Ruike thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps there are such records, but there probably aren't many. I only have a vague impression of them."

This shows that these demons were not recorded as something important by the dwarves who recorded them.

After all, the demon crisis at that time was not serious, and the existence of demons was not a secret.

Only the brewmaster thought for a moment and then replied, “From the time I was born until I was a teenager, rumors of demons were indeed quite frequent.

In those years, I often heard such words, creatures being called demons.”

"Then why? I haven't heard of it. I've only heard this word in some stories." Popot couldn't help but say.

They are like the creatures that exist in stories. By analogy, they are like the elves, dwarves and other races that Aliris and others who once lived in the Kingdom of Saffro heard about in stories.

"We'll discuss this later. Now let's focus on this evil god born from the devil."

Draw everyone's attention back again.

Kana said, "This evil god controls a realm of cruelty, slaughter, and struggle. I believe you can also experience the brutality within his realm.

This means that if necessary, it can easily affect most races. After all, it is normal for races to fight or even go to war with each other."

After Kana said this, Alice and the others understood.

After all, they had just learned from Popot that the Gray Mountain Dwarves were relatively warlike among the dwarf tribes.

From this perspective, it is understandable that dwarves are easily influenced.

"So how can we remove this curse and influence now? Keeping them locked up down there isn't a long-term solution.

As time goes by, the number of cases will only increase. We must find a way to solve this problem," said the castle lord.

Kana held up a finger and said, “To temporarily suppress such a curse and influence, all we need to do is arrange a purification ritual.

I will provide a purification ritual for this evil power. Once purified, I can temporarily revive them and suppress the fighting desire in their hearts once again.

This will effectively curb their danger."

After saying this, Kana emphasized again, "But this only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. In essence, they are still affected and cursed."

"Tell me, friend, how can we solve the problem once and for all?" asked Lurek.

Now that we have come to this, it is basically impossible for Kana to find a solution.

"Same as last time." Kana laughed directly.

"The same? ...You mean, get rid of the source?" Lurek asked.

After all, last time, they simply killed the traitor among them and solved the source of the problem.

Kana smiled and nodded, that's what he meant.

"That's right, an impact of this magnitude cannot be caused by simple cultists.

What they are better at is finding ways to force others to fight, venting their emotions in the battle, and then making them completely turn to the evil god.

And this kind of mere battle can easily affect you. Obviously, the enemy's presence is powerful and eye-catching.

Its mere existence is enough to attract the power of the evil gods outside.

It is this kind of power that can exert influence on you when you have done almost nothing.

If my guess is correct, this evil god may have some connection with you, otherwise he wouldn't be so relaxed."

After listening to Kana's brief story.

The three-person council finally had a rough idea in their minds.

"Thank you, you will always be our friend. Thank you so much." The castle lord said without hesitation, expressing his gratitude and praise.

But at this time, Kana fell into deep thought.

"What kind of existence can attract the attention of the evil god like this?" Kana asked inexplicably.

The reason why Cana could easily associate this matter with the dwarves is naturally because in the plot of the game, the dwarves will eventually have to fight against this evil god.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Under Kana's influence, I don't know why a strong conflict arose before the plot even started.

This is the problem. Kana knows that dwarves are very easily influenced by the power of this evil god.

But in order to achieve this goal, the enemy must be strong enough, or have sufficient connection with the evil god.

And it’s still at this stage.

No matter which enemy you face, it should not be weak, so a little bit of countermeasures is necessary.

It seems that we need the cooperation of the dwarves to complete some preparations.

At this time, the door of the meeting was knocked and a dwarf with blood on his face rushed in.

"Oh no! Monk, Reese...they were attacked, leaving only broken bodies behind."

"Take us there quickly!"

The sudden death of so many dwarves, all of whom were outstanding among the dwarves, was unacceptable to the Council of Three. In other words, any unnatural death was unacceptable to them.

After all, there are only so few dwarves in the entire Grey Mountain Range, and it is really difficult to increase the population.

Lurek led them over quickly.

Wait till they arrive.

Then he saw several corpses facing north of Ashforge Castle.

Only one body appeared relatively intact, though this was a comparison. It had only scars on its torso, while the others all had varying degrees of damage and signs of missing parts.

Without exception, their heads were chopped off.

The cross section of the neck was very smooth, and no head was found at the scene; it was all lost.

As expected, the dwarf's head was not left.

Looking at the corpses of these dwarves, Kana and the others could clearly feel that the emotions of everyone around them had become abnormal.

Kana squatted down and turned a body over.

Before anyone could say anything, they saw the back of the turned-over body.

There is a large inverted triangle symbol carved with a knife or even burned with an iron.

There was also a skull carved on it with relatively skilled craftsmanship, which was the symbol of the evil god that Kana had just told everyone about.

Not long after he finished speaking, he saw it on the bodies of his compatriots.

And it can be seen that the traces of this carving are very, very new.

It was obviously just carved and the blood was not dry yet.

The enemy had just finished them off.

But by the time the dwarves came to inform them, the enemy would have already fled by the time they came back.

Cana turned to look at Aliris.

Alice shook her head, it was obvious that she could no longer find any trace of the enemy.

Cana stood up and looked at the dwarf's body. The enemy seemed a little excited. Was he trying to provoke hatred?

Should we tell these dwarves some information about themselves?
