After the smoke and dust cleared, Zeng Jun gradually saw the scene inside clearly. He saw an old man with gray beard and hair covered in shining silver armor standing in the center of the ruling hall. Black magic runes were constantly flowing around him.
.
Zeng Jun couldn't help but trembled, because above the old man's head was a line of clear small words "Sword Master Cassie". Isn't this the NPC Sword Master Cassie that he was asked to find in The Secret of Swords? Cassie had not been found before.
Where exactly is he? I didn't expect this guy to be hiding here.
It's a pity that the Secret of the Sword is currently lying in Zeng Jun's personal warehouse and he doesn't have it with him, otherwise he should be able to solve the mystery on the spot.
"Ahem! Whose unlucky kid is this? He makes such a big noise when he opens the door. Aren't you afraid that my old man will be blown up here?" Sword Master Cassie saw Zeng Jun and a group of six people leaving the door one after another.
He came in and immediately shouted with his beard and eyes wide open.
??Zeng Jun has a black streak on his head.
Didn't this place fall into the rule of the undead thousands of years ago? When did this guy come here, and was he discovered by the undead here?
"Hello, dear Mr. Sword Master Cassie, we are adventurers from the City of Babel." Zeng Jun introduced himself and walked towards Sword Master Cassie.
"Bang!"
Suddenly Zeng Jun's body came into contact with a faint black light film, and the huge force immediately bounced him away, causing him to fall heavily against the door.
"Hahaha, kid, why are you walking so carelessly without breaking anything?" Sword Master Cassie laughed heartlessly.
Zeng Jun felt a chill in his heart. Damn it, he must have met the reincarnation of Zhou Botong here. He is obviously a very old man, but his personality is like that of a child. This character does not look like that of a sword master.
It looked like that, but he clearly had the title of Sword Master on his head, but he couldn't help but not believe it.
Zeng Jun got up from the ground and rubbed his sore buttocks, then carefully leaned over again and walked to the light curtain that had been bounced off just now. This light curtain was very faint in the relatively dim light of the ruling hall.
You can't see it if you don't pay attention.
Zeng Jun stretched out his hand and touched it lightly to get the light curtain, and his palm was immediately bounced away by a huge magical power.
Zeng Jun was shocked, "You, you, who locked you up here?"
"Well, you discovered it." Sword Master Cassie was a little embarrassed. He seemed to think that it would be too embarrassing for him to reveal that he, a majestic sword master, was trapped and locked here by a magic circle.
"Dear Mr. Cassie, we are adventurers from the City of Babel. How can we get you out of trouble?" Zeng Jun continued to ask respectfully. The ruling hall is marked with a red mark on the map, and as soon as they entered,
Discovering the NPC in front of him means that Sword Master Cassie is likely to be a key point in this mission. Even if this were not the case, Zeng Jun would have enough reasons to rescue him, because the secret of the sword's secret is still waiting for him to unravel.
"City that reaches the sky?" I've never heard of it. I never knew there was such a city on the mainland.
"Well, it was the former White City. Now people are used to calling it the City of Babel, because everyone thinks the name of the City of Babel is more nx."
"What, Westwide has been rebuilt? That's great, I really want to go back right away to see what Westwide looks like after the reconstruction." Cassie heard the news that Westwide was rebuilt.
He seemed very excited after that, but soon his eyes dimmed again, and he cursed: "This damn soul-locking formation, brave adventurer, can you agree to one of my requests?"
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Do you want to accept the task?
After talking so much nonsense, of course it was in order to get follow-up tasks from the NPC, Zeng Jun chose to confirm without thinking.
"Ding~!"
System prompts: You accept the mission [Soul-locking Formation]. Mission content: Find all six Earth Soul Stones and place them at the six key points of the Soul-locking Formation. Extract the magic energy from the Soul-locking Formation to help Sword Master Cassie escape from trouble.
You will receive generous rewards.
After accepting the task, the task list immediately listed the sources of all six Earth Soul Stones. Three of them were already in Zeng Jun's package. The two NPCs holding these three Earth Soul Stones were immediately marked with green marks.
, the green mark indicates the part of the mission that has been completed. The remaining three Earth Soul Stones are all distributed in the Executive Yuan of Nugget according to the mission prompts.
The Naget Executive Yuan is the seat of the highest administrative agency of Naget City. According to historical records, the Naget Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. The highest authority of the country is not the king but a joint governing body composed of the ten elders of the Executive Yuan.
, and the Executive Yuan is where they usually work. The ruling hall where Zeng Jun and the others are now is actually in the Executive Yuan.
According to the mission prompts, the other three Earth Soul Stones are hidden in the offices of three elders, Finn, Karen and Bert, who are the top three among the ten elders of the Executive Yuan.
Zeng Jun immediately opened the big map of the Executive Yuan and circled the offices of the three elders Finn, Karen and Bert on the map. The next thing was done by Zero Degree. The assassin profession has a natural ability to do this kind of thing.
The advantage is that if you suddenly encounter any danger during the mission, you can sneak away and escape.
"Dear Sword Master Mr. Cassie, it seems that you have been trapped here for some time." Sub-Zero sneaked away to get the other three Earth Soul Stones. Zeng Jun was idle in the ruling hall and started chatting with NPCs.
"It must have been ten thousand years, but a generation of sword masters was trapped in this damn place using a magic circle. It's really a joke to tell." Cassie smiled mockingly.
"Ten thousand years?" Zeng Jun was startled. Admittedly, he had some psychological preparation before asking this question. Sword Master Cassie didn't even know about the reconstruction of Tongtian City, and the Klan Kingdom had not rebuilt Tongtian City until
It has a history of thousands of years, but when the npc said the words "ten thousand years", Zeng Jun couldn't help being shocked. Doesn't this mean that the sword master Cassie in front of him has lived for more than 10 years?
Ten thousand years of time.
"So, how did you get trapped here? It seems not easy to catch you with your strength." Zeng Jun continued to ask.
"Oh, don't mention it, it's all my fault for being careless??" Sword Master Cassie gradually fell into long-lasting memories.
Ten thousand years ago, the Castle of Hoget was suddenly invaded by the leader. At that time, after receiving the news, Cassie was worried about the safety of her good friend Anthony, so she sailed across the endless sea alone to the Castle of Hoget with the intention of helping.
Anthony got out of trouble, but after arriving here, he learned that this disaster was actually directed by Anthony, and that the three elders of the Executive Yuan of the Frog Kingdom were also involved.
For his own personal revenge, he had to drag the entire country's civilians to be buried with him. Of course, the upright Cassie couldn't accept all this, so he began to use his own actions to try to stop Anthony's crazy behavior, but in the end he accidentally fell into the trap set by Anthony and others.
The trap is trapped in this magic circle. This trap turned out to be ten thousand years?? "Haha, respected Sword Master Mr. Cassie, you don't have to be sad, then Anthony has been killed by me." Zeng Jun smiled openly.
said.
"What? You unlucky kid, Anthony was my best friend. You, how could you kill him, you damn unlucky kid??" Cassie rolled her eyes and returned to normal after hearing the news that Anthony was killed.
The original state of madness.
After a moment, Cassie's expression dimmed again, and she said to herself: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I kill him or not. Anthony, my old friend, has finally received retribution for doing so many bad things over the years.
I have been living in painful memories, and have been cursed by the souls of those who died unjustly. My strength has long been reduced to what it used to be. In fact, death is not a relief."
Zeng Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just now he thought that the NPC was going to blame him. If that happened, he would be unlucky. But in the end, Cassie had no intention of blaming him, and it was just a false alarm.
"Well, dear Mr. Cassie, do you know the secret of swords?" Zeng Jun asked cautiously, trying to change the subject to free Cassie from the Anthony incident.
"The Mystery of the Sword is a volume of information that condenses the efforts of many famous sword masters on the mainland. It also contains some of my personal experience of the top profession of sword master, but I don't know the final destination of that item.
." Cassie's meaning is very obvious. Don't expect to get any information about the whereabouts of the Secret of the Sword from me. At this time, he probably doesn't know that the Secret of the Sword is actually in Zeng Jun's hands.
"Ahem! Actually, I want to ask how that thing will help me in my future cultivation path. In fact, I have already obtained the secret of the sword."
"What, the secret of the sword is in your hands now. Why didn't this unlucky boy Mi tell me earlier and show it to me?" Sword Master Cassie's eyes widened.
"Well, I didn't take it with me when I went out. It's stored in the warehouse of Tongtian City."
"That's right. It would be a pity to lose such a valuable thing if you keep it by your side all day long. The secret of swords is some understanding of this profession by us sword masters. If you are strong enough, maybe you can choose another profession.
The path to growth." Sword Master Cassie explained the secret function of the sword in one word.
As we all know, according to Canghuangli's career promotion path, a player can only be promoted to the sky realm after six career changes after reaching level 180. That is to say, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to finally advance to the top career. Here
The other career growth path mentioned by NPC should refer to the path to promotion to the top career.
Top profession, what a desirable profession level it is. Although the Canghuang game information only introduces the top profession with a few words: "Compared to the top profession, the sky realm is just a floating cloud." But from this sentence
The power of the top-level professions can be seen in general.
At this time, Zero Degree lived up to his expectations and finally safely retrieved the other three Earth Soul Stones. The entire process was not discovered by the undead responsible for guarding. Following the guidance of Sword Master Cassie, Zeng Jun successfully placed the six Earth Soul Stones.
, then a flash of light flashed, and the magic power of the Soul Locking Formation was temporarily extracted. After thousands of years, Sword Master Cassie finally regained his freedom.
"Boy, do you have the confidence to follow the guidance of the Mystery of the Sword and follow another path of professional growth?" After getting out of trouble, Sword Master Cassie patted Zeng Jun on the shoulder and asked.
"Of course I have confidence." Just kidding, who doesn't aspire to a top career?
"Well, you have saved me anyway. As a thank you to me, this old man, I will help you today. Come on, let me do something first. This matter is very crucial to your future growth."
