75% of the reward was lost for no reason. Zeng Jun returned to Tongtian City very depressed and explained what happened to Binglan and others. After everyone knew about it, they were all very sorry, but no one cared about what happened.
He didn't mean to blame Zeng Jun, but instead took the initiative to comfort him not to worry too much about gains and losses.
The three mission items were all still on him, and everyone encouraged Zeng Jun to continue investigating since he decided to keep the mission items to see if he could wait until the day when the truth came out.
The first thing Zeng Jun thought of was his current professional mentor, Cassie Swordsman. Cassie Swordsman was a demigod-like figure. He was the only person they knew who had survived that era and witnessed that era. Looking for him might be the real deal.
There is hope that the truth behind the whole incident will be revealed.
When the Battle of Brel broke out, Cassie Sword Master was already trapped in the bloody purgatory and could not get out, so he did not participate in the protracted decisive battle. He also learned about the situation at that time from the history books written by later generations.
In this regard, Cassie Swordsman does not know much more than Zeng Jun. However, Cassie Swordsman has an advantage that others do not have, that is - he knows the famous figures on the mainland at that time better than anyone else.
know it better.
Holding Gru's shield, he turned it over and looked at the scars left by many battles on the shield. From time to time, he told Zeng Jun that these were the scars left when Gru competed or dueled with a famous figure.
Suddenly, Cassie Sword Master's eyes stopped at a trace left by a powerful magical force. His face suddenly changed and he said with a trembling voice: "This, this scar contains the magic of Saint Magister Fabia."
Aura, but as far as I know, there has never been any battle between Gru and Fabia, not even informal discussions."
Continuing to check, in addition to that mark, Cassie Sword Master discovered multiple marks on the shield left by the magic bombardment of Fabia Saint Magister.
"Show me that breastplate." Cassie Sword Master looked a little abnormal.
Zeng Jun handed over Gru's breastplate as instructed.
"Damn it! Gru was killed by Fabia." Cassie Sword Master suddenly screamed, pointing to a dense crack on the breastplate and said, "Look, this is the most deadly thing on the breastplate.
A wound, it was this attack that killed Gru, this was Fabia's hand."
Things have progressed to this point, and the truth is already coming out.
At that time, the Klan mercenary group coveted the territory of the Westriel Empire and secretly colluded with the undead in the Netherworld Abyss. The Undead Empire mobilized a large army to fully attack the eastern region of Merlo Continent, and the famous Brel Decisive Battle broke out in history.
Many countries were involved in this war, and the one that suffered the greatest losses was of course the Westriel Empire, which bore the brunt. After the war, the entire country fell into the rule of the undead.
The Luming Empire must have received some news at that time. While sending troops to resist another invading undead army, it secretly sent Gru to sneak into the Netherworld Abyss from the Gate of Hell in the Breer Prairie to look for the Klan mercenary group and the undead.
Evidence of collusion. As a result, Gru accidentally encountered Fabia in Spadwood and died at the hands of Fabia. Gru's body was resurrected by the Undead Magister and turned into a puppet to participate in the subsequent Battle of Brel. He was again involved in the war.
Killed and destroyed bodies were scattered across the Breer Prairie.
After the demise of the Westrail Empire, according to a prior agreement, the Undead Empire divided a piece of land including Westwild City to the Klan mercenary group for the establishment of the Fabia Empire. Of course, the process of this transaction was not
It was carried out blatantly. What happened at that time was probably that the Klan mercenary group launched a war to recapture Westwild. The undead army pretended to resist for a while and then retreated.
Later, as the Fabia Empire grew stronger, the descendants of Fabia I no longer recognized the agreement of the year. Through war after war, they gradually regained the territory of the then Westriel Empire from the hands of the undead, and took advantage of the opportunity.
It cannibalized many nearby small countries, and finally established the current political power of the Klan Kingdom.
??The reason why the Shengrui Kingdom is unwilling to disclose to Zeng Jun why Gru went to Breer is probably because it wants to secretly collect evidence that the Klan mercenary group colluded with the undead, then make it public, and finally unite other surrounding kingdoms in the name of justice.
Jointly divide the territory of the Klan Kingdom.
"Damn the Fabia royal family, it's a good thing that I still regard them as heroes who avenged their motherland, but I didn't know that the Westriel Empire was ruined in the hands of these greedy villains." After knowing what he really wanted, Cassie
The sword master was so angry that he broke his sword.
"Teacher, what are you going to do next?" Zeng Jun asked cautiously. Emotionally, he hoped that his mentor would make the true intentions of the matter public, and then use the rebel forces jointly formed by the surrounding countries that were equally greedy to overthrow the enemy.
The regime of the Lan Kingdom seeks revenge for the Westwild Empire, the homeland of Cassie Sword Master. However, as a Chinese player, considering the interests of the entire Chinese server, the most sensible approach should be to bury this secret forever in the bottom of my heart.
Because, among the surrounding countries, only the Kingdom of Shengrui belongs to the Chinese region, and the Kingdom of Shengrui obviously does not have such good teeth to swallow the entire Kingdom of Kelan on its own. They will inevitably unite with other surrounding empires to carve up the territory of the Kingdom of Kelan.
, this is equivalent to handing over a large part of China's territory to servers in other surrounding countries. This will undoubtedly greatly damage the interests of China's servers.
Sword Master Cassie looked very painful now. After thinking for a long time, he said to Zeng Jun: "From personal emotional considerations, I should use the evidence in my hands to join forces with other forces to destroy the Kingdom of Kelan. However, once the war breaks out, it will definitely lead to the destruction of living beings."
The people are in dire straits, and the undead may take advantage of the situation and once again fall into the hands of the undead. Moreover, the current king of the Kelan Kingdom is quite diligent and loves the people, and the prince is a humble gentleman who has not been exposed to that secret, so I decided
Bury this secret in my heart forever, I think if their souls are still alive, they should be able to understand my choice."
The people Sword Master Cassie mentioned should refer to the royal family of the Westriel Empire back then.
"However, now that I know this secret, it is no longer possible for me to work for this regime. I will leave the City of Tongtian and live in seclusion. You don't have to worry about not being able to find me. I have already considered this for you. You
Take it." Cassie Swordsman said, taking off a ring from his hand and handing it to Zeng Jun. He changed the subject and said, "But you discovered this secret. I decided to give you the final decision whether you want it or not.
It's up to you to make this secret public."
Zeng Jun glanced at the ring he had just received. He originally thought that the thing Cassie Sword Master picked off must be of the highest quality, but it turned out to be just an ornament without any attribute bonus. The following introduction text explained the ring's
Function: After wearing it, you can teleport to the current location of Cassie Juggernaut from anywhere.
"What choice does the teacher want me to make?" Zeng Jun asked.
Cassie Sword Master smiled slightly and said: "In order not to affect your decision, I can't tell you this answer until you make your choice."
At this moment, a system prompt sounded - "Ding~!"
System prompt: There is new progress in the mission plot. Give the information you have discovered together with the evidence (mission items) to the king of the Shengrui Kingdom. You will receive an unusually generous reward, but the Kelan Kingdom may face a regime change.
Change, this will affect the later stage of the game, please think carefully before choosing. In addition, you can also bury this secret in your heart forever, and the system will automatically give you some additional rewards as compensation.
Bing Lan and others also received this system prompt at the same time, and five people sent messages asking about it almost at the same time.
"It's a long story. You guys wait for me at the snail shop and I'll tell you face to face." Zeng Jun replied to the same message to five people.
Zeng Jun told Binglan and others exactly what happened. After listening to Zeng Jun's statement, several people fell into a brief silence. In the end, everyone almost said in unison: "This secret must not be made public, otherwise we will become
The sinner of the China server."
"Since everyone has the same idea, I will restart the mission immediately. The final decision requires everyone to make a joint choice before it can take effect." After Zeng Jun said, he regrouped the five people into the team and started the mission. The six people
An option box appeared in front of him at the same time. There were two options to choose from: first, find King Luther XI of the Shengrui Kingdom with the task items and hand over the inferred results and evidence to him; second, never
Do not tell this secret (the mission items will be automatically destroyed after selection).
Six people simultaneously cast a sacred vote that determines the future game pattern of the Chinese server.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Your team has completed the follow-up mission of [Gru's Last Wish]. Because you chose the second option, you will receive system compensation rewards: level +2, reputation value of 50,000, gold coins of 20,000, luck value of +3, and additional buried treasure.
Permanent right of way to the Gates of Hell in the Bonelands.
In addition, Zeng Jun also received two other messages - "Ding~!"
System prompt: The item [Gru's Breastplate] in your package was automatically collected by the system.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: The item [Gru's Shield] in your package was automatically collected by the system.
However, Zeng Jun did not receive a notification that another mission item [Susanna's Thoughts] was taken away by the system. Just as he was about to open the package to check, another system prompt sounded - "Ding~!"
System prompt: The character has been kicked offline.
It was dark before his eyes, and he could not choose to log in to the game again. Zeng Jun took off his helmet with a confused look on his face, and the ringtone of his cell phone on the table rang in time.
