It has been seven days since he came to this world from the Salvation Space... Because Lin Xiao entered the realm of a saint and was forcibly sent to the Salvation Space to undergo the so-called saint's trial...
But if that's all... Lin Xiao sighed and looked at the mission information on the mission panel.
"Current mission world: Eternal Continent... Mission goal: Find the lost holy relic - the Lamp of the Underworld... Mission period: 3 years... If you fail, you will not be able to pass the trial!
Mission Tip 1: News of the lost holy relic, the Lamp of the Underworld, once appeared in Liuyue City..."
In addition, there is a lot of information about this world... This world is called the Eternal Continent, with a length of 966 square meters... It was discovered by a genius who came out of the sky a long time ago.
He swept away the wars on the continent, unified the continent, and established an eternal empire.
The word emperor naturally appeared on the stage, but the eternal empire, which lasted for three hundred years, was slowly decaying... **, ambition, power, money...
It is enough to make people crazy. The empire has lost its ability to suppress, and naturally there are opponents. In the later period of the empire, because the control and strength were not enough to deter and suppress the vast territory, it was submissive on the surface, but secretly adopted the strategy of supporting the army, self-respect and independent cities.
It's starting to appear...
Although it is difficult for this heavy machine of the empire to continue to be maintained perfectly, fortunately, the empire still has powerful force... At least on the surface, these cities do not dare to openly resist... But the empire's
The ruling power of the center has been slowly weakening... and what troubles the empire the most is that people who want to create a new world have begun to appear in various places. They call themselves independents and revolutionaries...
..These organizations are mainly composed of two major organizations: the Freedom Alliance and the Light of Revolution. They are particularly powerful and have even established many cities as their bases... In addition, there are many scattered organizations.
, such as the Assassin's League, a chivalrous and righteous neutral force, Killer No. 7, as long as they give money, even the emperor dares to try... There are also magicians' unions, mercenary unions...
.These neutral organizations... Of course there are also some scattered ones waiting for opportunities...
This is an era of magic and technology, where hundreds of races coexist... Martial arts are also promoted!
But it’s still the same sentence, as long as you have strength, anything will be fine...
But it’s useless even if you have strength? Lin Xiao sighed... In this trial, the holy relic that we are looking for is the Lamp of the Underworld... It is said to be a lamp in the deep sea of the underworld. It has speed.
The ability to attract the dead, and of course the most powerful thing is that whoever obtains the power of this lamp can open the door to the underworld and become the lord of the underworld.
The terrifying and powerful bone dragon, the overwhelming undead soldiers, as long as you have this power, you can naturally get what the world wants.
But the important thing is that after arriving in Liuyue City, both Lin Xiao and Atoliya joined the mercenary union, and they established a mercenary team.
And after asking around many times during this period, the only information I found was that there was absolutely no trace of this lamp in the underworld...and not a single bit of information.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiao felt that the reminder of the salvation space was absolutely correct. It must have been that someone had monopolized the news.
Lin Xiao's brain cells died for who knows how many times because of this incident, but later Artorya said: "Could it be that the city lord intercepted the message and secretly hid it."
Lin Xiao then thought about it, maybe that was really the case... After all, information about something as important as the Lamp of the Underworld would definitely be blocked.
So, Atoriya and Lin Xiao originally went to visit the city lord yesterday, but they could not see the city lord. Lin Xiao sneaked in to find the city lord, but just thought about it and gave up the idea...
After all, it would be better to have less trouble finding things, and the city lord knew the news. After all, Lin Xiao was just guessing... It would be bad if the city lord was on guard at that time.
Because the Lantern of the Underworld is the favorite of all the turbulent forces, even if you meet the city lord, I am afraid that the other party will not tell the truth.
That is something that can rule this world, the Lord of the Underworld. Just thinking about it makes me feel...
But that's all, the mission is still very important, and Lin Xiao is at his residence, preparing to study how to get information from the city lord.
"Atolia, I found out that the city lord has three wives, why don't we start with his wives?"
"No, it's very shameless to attack women." Artorya shook her head and denied.
"Then he has a son who has just turned 10 years old. How about we start with his son?" Lin Xiao thought about it and decided to attack from the side.
"This won't work either. We bully the weak for no reason. I can't do this kind of thing." Artorya said decisively.
"Okay, there's nothing we can do about it. We just need to break in and give him a try and teach him how to behave." Lin Xiao felt that Artoria's advice was also reasonable. Just make trouble for whoever you're looking for, and don't involve others.
Family members and so on, this is the rule of the world.
Although Lin Xiao didn't have this idea in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it. Who could make Artoriya disagree?
"It still doesn't work. Isn't it the same as how you sneaked in directly yesterday? Maybe then you can alert the snake..." Artoria.
"Indeed, for people in this world, the Lamp of the Underworld may be something that fulfills their ambitions. All forces want to get it. We do have a chance..." Lin Xiao paused and pondered for a while before saying:
"It's better than this. In fact, I recently discovered that there are patrols in Liuyue City every day, and which city lord's mansion is also particularly well-guarded... Maybe not only we know this news, but also other forces... Come on
They will definitely take action when the time comes. If Liuyue City is disrupted by then, we will take the opportunity to save the city lord. Maybe he will be grateful and understand the matter of the Lamp of the Underworld..."
Atria: "This is feasible...What should we do next?"
Lin Xiao: "Simple, on the way to Liuyue City, there is a place called the Mist Forest. In a few days, heavy fog will come in that place. It is not easy to get rid of this fog. It must be within Liuyue City.
Only those who are proficient in some kind of ingenious guiding magic can freely enter and leave the forest, while others will definitely get lost... And these guys who lead people are very average in strength, and they will hire some mercenaries to protect themselves.
When the time comes, we will also sneak in to see if there are really people from other forces coming to Liuyue City. After we find out clearly and the people who come to trouble the city lord know about it, we will prepare calmly, and then we will find them for the city lord.
If there is a troublesome thing, we will help the city lord... In this case, the city lord may tell us something because of our help..."
Atria replied: "Okay, in this case, it won't cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
That's it. If the city lord still refuses to come out by then, then we will have to use force... The mission is still relatively important.
Lin Xiao: "That's true, but there seem to be a lot of leaders, and if it is a powerful force, they will find the best one...so we will first find the best and most famous leader.
Bar."
The next day, the nearest family in Liuyue City was on a street, and the sun was scorching high in the sky at noon. Because of this, it was too hot, so there were not many people there.
After the earth had been scorched for a long time, people finally appeared...a group of silent but wary people. They were all dressed in black and looked around with vigilant and wary expressions.
Then one of the masked people in black walked at the front. She was obviously the leader...and she was a woman.
Although she was wearing a mask and black clothes, her long hair, which was the color of the night sky, did not reach her waist, and the black tights also highlighted her exquisiteness.
Obviously they came well prepared. They stood in the most inconspicuous house on this street... The woman as the leader said: "Is this here?"
Her voice came out through the black mask on her face... The voice was cold, with the feeling of a cold wave that only occurs in winter, and there were a total of 4 people behind her.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a rather formidable appearance and thick eyebrows and big eyes, said, "Well. Here are the most experienced people going to Liuyue City through the mist-filled forest."
The reason why they come to find the guide is not because they are afraid of the monsters in the forest, but because once the fog appears, the situation in the forest becomes weird. The legendary old horse will get lost in it, and the most terrifying thing is that even if
Even experienced people will go around in circles...so in order to meet the deadline as quickly as possible and be safe, you must find the most famous person to lead the way.
"Ah Yi, talk to him, the price is good." The mysterious woman said.
The person named Ah Yi is the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He said: "Yes, sister."
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of the room... An old man's voice came from inside: "Come in..."
Then, a group of people walked into the house, which was simple and clean... There was a pale old man with a stooped body. He raised his eyes and looked at the guests who entered the house.
A pair of eyes full of energy and wisdom...
"Guests, are you also planning to enter the misty forest?" the old man asked.
"It's like this, we want to go to Liuyue City as quickly as possible." The woman wearing a mask.
Her tone revealed a hint of irresistibility...
The old man: "This year's fog is stronger than in old years... I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
Ah Yiyi showed no expression, and then took out a bag of gold coins from his body... "We are going out soon, let's go when we are ready."
"It's been a long time since there have been so many people, and you guys are very generous. Do you understand the rules?" the old man said in a low voice.
"Your rule is that you have to find mercenaries, right? It's not necessary for us to be mercenaries." Ha Yi frowned, which sounded quite confident.
"Crossing the forest is very dangerous. When those monsters come, who of you will care about me? Rules are rules. Although I am old, I don't want to end up in the belly of those monsters." The old man shook his head.
"Okay, I agree with you." The mysterious woman said.
"Okay, please wait a moment..." Seeing that they agreed, the old man finished and walked out, obviously to find the mercenaries.
"Sister...are these guys trustworthy?" There was another one among the four people. Although he was only about 1.6 in height, he was very short and had a popular face, but his eyes were quite spiritual.
"Two, even if there is really a danger, can't you solve it with your help?" the woman said coldly.
"Of course, no problem..." Er immediately replied.
"In this case, don't say any more, our time is very tight." The woman.
After waiting for a while, the old man was followed by two mercenaries. After seeing these two mercenaries, Ah Yi was very unhappy.
Because the two mercenaries looked too young, one looked a little careless and lazy...the other was slightly better, but she was a woman.
Humph, but that's right. In a place like this, how many powerful mercenaries can such an old man hire...
Of course, these two mercenaries were Lin Xiao and Artoria. They came early to talk to this most powerful old man in order to implement the plan.
And gave him a lot of money, asking him to invite them when he received a request from someone who looked dangerous...
After the group of people met, Lin Xiao was very happy, because this group of people looked like they were not simple people... They were wearing black clothes and masks...
This is really true. You can tell at a glance that he must be there to cause trouble!
After entering this forest that has swallowed countless lives, the fog inside became a bit thick, but the old man leading the way was indeed a professional.
A torch was lit, but the light it emitted was blue, and the surrounding fog was very clean for the group of people. There was no fog at all.
The group of people moved forward slowly, while the four of them, Hajime and Er, looked around carefully, keeping their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao and Atoliya walked side by side with the old man leading the way...Lin Xiao looked relaxed. Although the fog here looked very powerful, Lin Xiao's current strength, as long as
When the power is deployed, it can cover the entire forest in an instant, and there is no possibility of getting lost. If you really can't find the way, just go out on your own.
But in the end it was this group of people who didn’t know their origins? Perhaps which force they were from? Judging from the fluctuations in power on their bodies, they were stronger than anyone I had seen in the past seven days since they had been in this world.
I hope they can cause trouble to the city lord by then, and Lin Xiao will feel like he can stay behind...
