Chosen Son
Chapter 40 Greed
The first second Gu Fan opened his eyes, he was forced to block it with his elbow by the dazzling sunlight.
He rubbed his sore eyes and struggled to get up, only to find that he was on a soft sandy beach.I was wearing a pair of underpants pitifully on my body, and the blue water was rippling, sending waves to the beach, leaving behind damp sand and some broken shells.This is not the first time Gu Fan has come to the beach, but it is the first time he has seen such a clean sea and beach—there are no mineral water bottles and plastic waste that can be seen everywhere, only everything that was originally grown here.
He walked a few steps toward the tide, feeling the cold breath while reading the file, but unexpectedly found that his mind was blank, which had never happened before.
"Way, is the system here, is it there, is it system, it's time to release the task system, is it there, is it here, give me a reminder, the system, right away?" Gu Fan didn't diverge his thoughts to make terrible guesses, and immediately began to harass A certain rule, trying to take a reassurance.
Although I have passed through three worlds, I was still a little flustered when I arrived in an unfamiliar environment.
After a while, the system really lived up to his expectations and opened its mouth.
"Now introduce the basic world view. The location: Srno Island, surrounded by the sea, has its own ecological system, and there are human beings. It is a feudal monarchy society, and the common language is unknown. Note: Due to communication problems, the language has been opened. Quick function. Identity setting: a foreigner who strayed into this place. Mission objective: prevent the destruction of this island. Mission period: three years."
"Since you are a foreigner, you should have your own memory, why can't I read it." Gu Fan was a little puzzled.
"In view of the fact that the memory of the foreign land is useless for the mission, we have already eliminated it. It is set that when the head hits the reef when floating on the coast, the memory is lost."
Gu Fan: "..."
He touched the back of his head, and it really hurt a little, and it looked like it was hard.
From this point of view, the original owner was really miserable. Not only did he drift on the sea for 8 years to come to such a strange place, he also hit a rock. Not only did he hit a rock, but he also lost his memory. I can't find it, not only can't find it, but now my body is taken by him...
Okay, he unilaterally announced that this is the worst original owner so far, and he can be given an award later - the award for self-sacrifice.
It's not a problem to stay here and bask in the sun all the time. He chose a random direction and walked towards the island. Anyway, he can always see people if he walks this way. As long as he sees people, he will be fine.
After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw a family.
The name of the closed island is a mouthful. At first, Gu Fan thought that he would see houses like primitive villages. Fortunately, when he got closer, he found that the buildings on this island tended to be more Western-style.The red brick walls are clearly marked, lined with milky white windows and lattice edges, and the overall look is bright and lively. Except for a small two-story building, it is surrounded by a small garden. It is the warm spring. There was a large field of colorful blooms. An old woman with silver hair and a red apron was watering the flowers with her head down. Taking a big step back with the watering can, the thin jet of water made a "sizzling" sound, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"Who are you, and why are you dressed like this?" After making sure that she was not someone she knew well, she asked cautiously.
Gu Fan was taken aback, looked down at himself, then fell silent for a while, and decided to skip the embarrassing topic of dressing.Due to the introduction of the language shortcut function, although the pronunciation of the dialect here is very strange to the ear, he quickly answered her in the same language: "I am a foreigner living here, and I want to ask you something .”
Xu heard the familiar language, the old woman temporarily relieved her heart, walked to the edge of the iron door, opened a crack, narrowed her eyes and carefully looked him from head to toe, then turned around and put it in the pocket beside her. Gu Fan waited patiently for something to dig out, and saw her digging out, and took out a beautiful little dagger, as soon as she pulled it out, the edge of the dagger shone coldly, and she knew it was extremely sharp at a glance.
Gu Fan: "..."
Are the people here so tough?
"I've lived on this island for 80 years, and I've never seen a stranger. Young man, you'd better tell the truth." The old woman looked at him gloomily. The cloudy eyeballs are full of sharpness, Gu Fan has no doubt that if she decides that he is a bad person, the dagger will be sent into his body in the next second.
"I... Ma'am, listen to me, I really don't mean any harm." Gu Fan took a big step back and returned to a safe distance, while racking his brains on how to make up stories to win trust, "I actually...I actually..."
Seeing that the sharp point of the knife was about to reach his eyes, he had a flash of inspiration: "I'm actually going to meet the island owner, and I want you to show me the way."
Anyway, the destruction of the small island must be related to this kind of big man, so it’s not wrong to meet him first, Gu Fan thought.
The tip of the knife paused suddenly, and the old woman seemed to have thought of something, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that you are a foreigner who read that notice and wants to offer advice to my king? Have you figured out a way?"
"Yes." Although Gu Fan didn't understand a word, he has an advantage that even if it is a problem that is beyond his ability, he can hold on for a while without changing his face, so he readily followed the old woman. After she finished speaking, she also changed her address along the way, "I'm here to solve my king's problems, but I live far away, so you may not have seen me."
As soon as the words fell, the old woman's expression became strange.
Gu Fan couldn't describe that look, it was mixed with surprise and admiration, as if there was a trace of... pity?
What kind of strange notice did this king make...
But soon he didn't have to guess this question anymore, because after saying goodbye to the old lady and getting the clothes and a little money from her kindly, he saw a notice posted at the corner of a remote path:
"We are now recruiting a warrior from all the islanders. The ones with strong physique and tall stature are preferred. They need to be able to pass through forests and thorns, and retrieve the exotic pet from the ice cave at the northern end of the island, ensuring that it is intact on the way.
Or anyone who finds other ways to decipher the fate of the island will be greatly appreciated. "
For a moment, Gu Fan even thought of the fairy tales he heard when he was a child, about the prince crossing mountains and rivers, slaying the dragon and embracing the princess.
He had just boasted about Haikou with the old lady, so looking at it this way, he was mistaken and said he was right. He really belongs to the category of people who want to crack the fate of the island.
That being said, I have to go to see the king.
He inquired about the location of the palace from the passers-by, and after learning that it was not too far away, he rushed over immediately, at least he arrived at the palace before sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun has not yet dissipated, and the entire castle is coated with a layer of gorgeous gold.There are a lot of tailors, shoe shops, taverns and clothing stores on the street, and people come and go, looking very prosperous.
Because of the suit of clothes given by the old lady, Gu Fan doesn't look too abrupt at the moment.After walking for a long time, he was a little hungry. Based on the principle that starving to death is the greatest principle, he found a tavern and sat down.
The boss is a man who is nearly forty years old, with a funny beard and a big belly that is about to tear the shirt under the vest. After driving for a long time, he presented him with a small glass of fruit wine to quench his thirst.
"Look at you, you must have come from the countryside, right?" The man stood in front of the bar and talked to him with interest, "I haven't seen anyone for a long time, but many strangers have come here these days, all for me That proclamation of the king, young man, are you too?"
Gu Fan nodded subtly and didn't say much.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's because there is too little known information, and he's really afraid of revealing his secrets once he speaks.Turning around, the boss took out a small dagger and pointed it at him, and a bad life would be gone.
"Hey." The boss smacked his lips, "It's also the fate of our island, and such a thing happened. By the way, young man, are you also a warrior who wants to challenge the ice cave? Then I want to persuade you Let me tell you, although there are many challengers, among them are not those who are brave and skilled in combat, including the little general Xia who has made great achievements in battle, but all of them returned without success, with either their arms or their legs injured. Among them, little general Xia The farthest he walked, he only saw the ice cave from a distance, and the next second he was frightened by a bear that appeared out of nowhere. The little general was never afraid of battle, so he immediately took out his weapon to fight with him. Fighting, but in the end, he was injured and was persuaded to come back, you..."
He looked Gu Fan up and down: "I didn't hit you, young man, your arm is too thin, I'm afraid it will break if you meet that bear?"
Gu Fan took a sip of his wine, looked at his expression, and said after deliberation: "Boss, you misunderstood, I didn't want to challenge the ice cave, I came up with a way to break the fate of the island."
With a bang, the cup that the man was wiping fell to the ground and shattered.The people around looked over one after another, and he was not in a hurry to clean up. He just said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Young man, stop joking, this is impossible, the fate of this island can only be solved by the first method." , there is no other way at all, if you are just greedy for that little reward, then I advise you to go back quickly, so as not to be beaten out by the guards of the palace yourself."
Gu Fan didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, so he asked him with some doubts: "Why are you so sure that I have no other way?"
"My elder sister works as the princess' maid in the palace, and she heard what the princess said with her own ears."
The boss lowered his voice a bit, and slowly repeated those words, apparently by heart.
"This is a curse, a curse that has only one solution. The witch said that such a curse is like a thread. Only when it finds the end corresponding to the beginning can it form a perfect circle."
"And the wicked will be punished."
"We are all sinners."
The author has something to say: I went out with my brother during the day and only got home at night QWQ
By the way, I saw a little cutie in the comment area talking about why the copywriting was marked as CP... My pot, my pot, the bottom half is the copywriting of the pre-received text, maybe the typesetting is not very clear, I will add it later separated by a line or something.
Suddenly found out that it’s not over yet, Happy National Day! ! !
In the last world, I guessed the murderer correctly, so I will pay the bill!Let me know if there is anything missing!
