(I have finished writing, there will be another chapter in the morning, everyone has to wait again... Mukakakakakaka~~~~~~~~Monthly Ticket Summon~~~~~~~~~~~)
The dew stained the black-gray hard rock streets, and the thin mist in the early morning was mixed with the curling smoke. The aroma of food spread in the streets, making people feel like having breakfast. Residents opened their doors or windows, and some idle people leaned against each other.
Beside the door frame, they looked at the knights heading towards the battlefield with curious eyes. Some were leaning on the window sill, trimming flowers and grass. Occasionally, the voice of a mother scolding her child who stayed in bed came from the house. The early morning in the fortress of the gods gradually became lively.
Got up.
The new day started with the mercenaries cursing, some of them were players, some were NPCs, but they were all the same - their weapons hung crookedly on the iron ring straps, and they grabbed the bread with one hand and put it in their mouths.
They were sending it away, and the other hand was fastening the buckle of the leather armor. They dragged their sleepy bodies forward. From time to time they uttered vicious curses and rude complaints about the war. Of course, the tone of the NPC mercenaries was better than
The players were much more rude.
Then merchants began to appear, and their motorcades swaggered through the middle of the street. This alone was something that the players could not enjoy. The bells on the animals rang on the street, and occasionally there was some heavy snorting. In short, the atmosphere on the street
The climax of the day was soon reached.
At this time, Xiao Fenjie removed his invisibility and turned out from a corner of the street. He walked directly across St. Tenret Street and followed Quist's prompts to enter the Silver Weissland Trial Hall in the Holy Sword Square. Silver Weiss
Outside the Lan Judgment Hall are more than thirty marble stairs, which are connected to the giant arched door of the tall Gothic building. Beside the giant door are more than a dozen holy warriors wearing gold-rimmed armor. Xiao Fen knows that
It is one of the three special job transfers of Silver Vislan - Celestial Knight.
"Stop, stranger!" The leading knight stretched out his hand to him, making a sign of stopping.
"Master, what can I do for you?" When Xiao Fen stopped, he asked politely.
The mage took out a blue emblem and fiddled with it twice. "The Master of the Secret Sage asked me to see him!" he replied.
The knight made a careful distinction, and a smile appeared on his serious face. "Welcome, young mage. I want Zoke to take you to-" A shout of surprise interrupted his words. "Brother Palin.
!" The little girl's cry came from behind the arch on the left side of the trial hall, and then the little girl appeared in the mage's field of vision.
"Miss Sophia!" The leading knight gave her a knightly salute gracefully, and then asked: "Isn't Miss Sophia going to participate in the advancement ceremony?"
"Advanced ceremony?" Xiao Fen was slightly stunned.
The little girl pouted and said unhappily: "What, I asked Frank Knight Commander to say it... I originally wanted to give Brother Palin a surprise!" But then her face showed a proud expression. "
Brother Palin, let me tell you! I finally got the chance to advance after completing the mission!"
Frank and the knights around him all had smiles of unknown meaning on their faces. He said, "Miss Sophia has always worked hard!" Two knights looked away at this time.
"What profession have you advanced to?" Xiao Fen didn't notice the expressions of the knights - he didn't bother to pay attention either. "I remember that Silver Vislan has three special advancements: Knight of Ancient Training, King of Battlefield, and Knight of Heaven!"
"No!" The little girl patted the emblem on her left chest, which was the long sword emblem of the heroic god Cassius. "I advanced to the Guardian of Cassius!"
The mage raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Holy Guard? Isn't this the most common general upgrade that is rampant?" He noticed that the faces of the knights next to him became a little ugly, and he quickly changed his words: "I mean
Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to advance to become a celestial knight or ancient training knight when you are in Silver Vislan..."
Sophia looked embarrassed. She lowered her head and whispered: "Those advanced steps require you to answer questions. It's so difficult... I can't pass it!"
The expressions on the faces of several knights became extremely strange, and some shoulders began to shake regularly.
"What's so difficult about answering the question?" Xiao Fen said angrily. Silver Vislan's special advancement has a very perverted ancient knight. Although the requirements are very strict, he is very suitable for a little girl and is a very powerful character.
The little girl showed a disapproving expression. She patted the badge on her left chest again, blinked her blue eyes and said with a bright smile: "It's nothing. Lord Guangyao Sage told the little girl, as long as the direction you pursue is correct, your ambition will be the same."
A determined paladin will be the best at any level!"
Xiao Fen rubbed his forehead and thought that was indeed the tone of the Holy Warrior.
"That's right!" The little girl raised her head, frowning with a puzzled look. "Brother Palin, what's the matter with you?" Before Xiao Fen could answer, she suddenly showed a look of surprise: "I understand, you
I want to see the sage of secret magic!"
"Yes, this mage is going to see the sage of secret magic!" A celestial knight behind Frank said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll take Brother Palin! It just so happens that my advancement ceremony hasn't been completed yet!" Sophia took Xiao Fen's hand and rushed into the trial hall. Of course, she didn't forget to turn back and shout to Frank: "Uncle Frank
, it’s time to pay back the lunch you owed me last time!”
The knights around him laughed, and Frank shook his head, sighing secretly at this little girl.
But at this time, Xiao Fen was secretly complaining. If another knight brought him in, he could take the opportunity to inquire about the location of those pages. Even if the other party didn't know, it would be good to understand the structure here... It's a pity that now for his own
The little girl was leading the way. She would probably know his intentions as soon as he opened his mouth.
In desperation, Xiao Fen could only think about some random things - such as what Yun Na told yesterday about the Golden Heart of Canaan. According to her book, during the post-Arcane War period, the golden hearts scattered across the continent
The Heart of Canaan has indeed almost disappeared, and there are no more fragments of the Golden Heart of Canaan in the wild. But there are still many such fragments that have been collected and made into high-level artifacts and low-level artifacts by gods or mortals, as well as those of that era.
The terrible war fortress - Castle in the Sky.
However, at the end of the Magic Age, the rich golden Heart of Canaan was destroyed on a large scale with the fall of the floating city. The few that were gathered back were later made into very famous artifacts.
"Then where did the golden heart of Canaan in the Fortress of the Gods come from?" Xiao Fen thought about this question.
…………
On the other side, this is a hall with gorgeous decorations. There is a round marble table in the center of the hall. The stained glass windows around the curved vault cast sunlight onto the floor of the hall, making the dragon knight pattern on the floor look colorful.
——Opposite to this exquisite picture are the statues of gods on the vault.
A circle of archmages in purple robes and knights in silver armor were arguing fiercely around a round table...
"This must be the work of the northern lord's envoy!" the first knight said angrily.
"Sir Agathon! Watch your words and deeds - unfounded suspicion will bring shame to your glory!" Another knight shouted his name and title.
Agatho suddenly stood up. He put his hands on the table to support his weight. He stretched his body as far as possible and said: "May Tanret forgive your ignorance! Doubt? This is more than just suspicion. The northern lord spied on
The Fortress of the Gods has been there for many years, and they started engaging in these sabotage activities very early!"
"Agatha, you are so excited!" The knight next to him tried to pull him back, but he soon discovered that it was in vain. Agatha's reputation as a heroic bull in Silver Vislan was not unreasonable.
The knight also stood up, with humiliated anger on his face. "The Northern Lords' envoy has always been under our control. That is the scope of my responsibility. I guarantee with my life that they will not leave my control!"
What you just said is tarnishing my honor!"
Agatho snorted and sat down angrily. He would not distrust his comrade.
Several mages whispered to each other for a while, and one of them answered on behalf of all mages: "In our opinion, the greater suspicion may be an internal enemy! The player who stole the sacred runes is so familiar with the internal structure of the building and your
Armed, this is suspicious!"
"Enemies within! What do you mean?" the third knight asked in a roaring voice.
The mage shrugged and said nothing.
"Maybe it's those guys underground!" another knight said.
"Impossible! Those evil guys underground are only interested in how to get a few more living sacrifices!" the person next to him replied.
"Anyway, those black coal heads need to be cleaned up sometime!" the third knight said in an angry tone.
A middle-aged mage coughed and whispered: "We are not talking about how to deal with those drow now, please pay attention!"
…
The loud arguments echoed in the vaulted hall like boiling water. Not far from the group, an old man in purple robe was sitting on a walnut chair with his head tilted. He was chewing a pipe, and purple smoke was rising from the pipe.
came out, surrounding him like a thick fog.
The Mystic Sage Rex looked at the group of people in front of him tiredly, and some thoughts were running through his mind - these people are really a bunch of idiots! For example, this is one of the thoughts.
At this time, the door of the hall was pushed open, and the arguing stopped for a moment. Everyone turned around and saw a black-robed mage walking in from the door.
"Who are you!" The middle-aged mage stood up and asked.
"My guest!" Rex also stood up. He patted his wrinkled robe, his snow-white eyebrows raised slightly, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed, revealing a happy smile. "Little guy, we are here again.
We met... Let me calculate, how many months has it been since we met?" He said with a smile.
The middle-aged mage showed an expression of surprise and uncertainty. He sat back and the argument soon started again.
"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Fen was choked by the thick smoke around the mage and burst into tears.
Rex was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and used magic to disperse the smoke around him, and said with a smile: "Little guy, I won't mince words with you. You should already know why I'm here to find you, right?"
"How do I know!" Xiao Fen replied angrily.
The arcane sage narrowed his eyes and held his pipe with his hand. "Really don't know? Do I have to waste most of the day explaining to you the ins and outs of the Heart of Golden Canaan? Or maybe you don't want to accept this task?"
The black-robed mage nodded helplessly and replied in a low voice: "Okay, I already know. But I didn't say I wanted to accept the task - this time we have to agree on the reward first!"
Rex shifted his gaze to the staff in Xiao Fen's hand, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. "Is this what you got, little guy? It seems like that guy Tidenglas hasn't blackmailed you too badly. In fact, that guy is greedy for money.
The lizard told me that there is a person in your team who even great people like him find it difficult to deal with."
"It seems to be a dwarf!" The secret magic sage nodded seriously.
Xiao Fen thought of the forging guy, and he smiled knowingly, but he quickly reacted and said angrily: "Remuneration! Talking about compensation, don't try to avoid my topic?"
"Is this still the final settlement?" Rex stroked his snow-white beard.
"Of course not!" Xiao Fen said through gritted teeth. The reward he received from the so-called final settlement last time in Dragon City still makes his teeth itch when he thinks about it.
The secret sage asked: "I'm old, I don't know what you young people want? Then you can tell me your requirements... Well, this matter is very urgent, I think you'd better hurry up!"
"I want experience. I can reduce the money and item rewards. I want experience rewards - and, by the way, what is the title of Quest?" Xiao Fen thought for a moment and asked.
"That little guy is a field commander, of course, on a temporary basis!"
"I want to get the same title as him when doing tasks!" the mage said. In this way, he has the same authority and can at least move around at will in the trial hall. Being able to understand the structure of the trial hall is undoubtedly
It will be of great help to him.
"That's all?" the old mage asked.
"Can you increase my intelligence by five points?" Xiao Fen asked angrily.
The secret sage shook his head.
"That's all!" the mage replied.
"Then let's get back to the topic!" Rex smiled kindly. "Let's start with the Golden Heart of Canaan Gem!"
Next, the arcane sage chewed his pipe and narrated the entire incident in detail - the incident began with the high-level artifact 'Silver Veslan, Delusie's Sacred Wings', and the stolen sacred
The rune is one of the four golden Heart of Canaan gems that provide energy for this high-level artifact. The person who took the shot was a human thief... He was a player. Xiao Fen knew that his name was Teyi. At that time, this
The guy was actually discovered and surrounded by knights, but a group of men in black who didn't know where they came from rescued him.
The clues to the entire theft incident have been cut off at this point. In fact, at this time, everyone in the Fortress of the Gods still doesn’t know whether the other party is still in the fortress.
Xiao Fen soon realized the seriousness of this matter. 'Silver Veslan, Delusie's Sacred Wings' not only provided three resurrection opportunities for players, in fact it also supported the entire main wall of the fortress.
If something goes wrong with the defensive array and magic shield on the top...
The scene of a hundred thousand orc army swarming into the mortal world appeared in the mage's mind.
"In that case, if there is one less gem to provide energy, will this artifact become ineffective?" the mage asked.
Rex shook his head. "Little guy! It's nothing for the time being. Originally, the four sacred runes formed a perfect circuit, which can provide almost infinite energy of 'Silver Veslan, Delusie's Sacred Wings'
, but if there is one less sacred rune... this time will be shortened to 3 months. After 3 months, the artifact will lose its function until the energy is replenished again!"
"Isn't there less than half a month left?" Xiao Fen was surprised.
"This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that it happened to be the time when the orcs started to attack the city for the first time - think about the connection between them!" the old mage said with squinted eyes.
Xiao Fen shuddered, and the hallucination in his mind just now materialized once again.
"In that case, wouldn't it-" He seemed to be about to say something, but a banging sound interrupted his words.
The door of the hall was suddenly knocked open, and a knight's attendant stumbled in. The guy had a panic expression on his face. He shouted: "It's not good!"
Everyone turned around at the same time. At this time, a clear sound of breaking glass came from above their heads, followed by a few vague whispers of curses, and then a darkness enveloped them...
