return to edgar

As soon as Hull came back, he arranged for Link to leave for Longyan Castle.As an additional condition for agreeing to the Pillar of the Earth to take back the Su Ling Temple, the Alliance of Nature will assist Chen Xi in investigating the truth about how the orcs bypassed Longyan Fort to raid inland towns. Bishop Chen Xi, who is in charge of the southwest region, believes that there may be traitors in Longyan Fort.

No one wants the old events from decades ago to repeat itself, worrying that this is a sign before the orcs launch a new round of war, and maintaining the balance of species is also the job of the children of nature, so Link was sent to investigate.

This time he was not pretending to be a mercenary, but a ranger instead, and went to Longyan Castle to enlist as a scout. Due to the high loss rate, fewer and fewer recruits have been recruited in recent years.

Hull sent Link on the road so quickly, mainly because the hands of the undead couldn't reach Longyan Fortress, and neither did Malik, which was the territory of the God of War.

Since Jafar the Wolf once accompanied Link in Aiden, Hull replaced Link with a new follower, Ney, a Druid who can't transform, and a peregrine that looks exactly like Link's incarnation.As for Jafar, he stayed in Aiden to preside over the recovery of the Suling Temple. The mage didn't want to quit Aiden so easily.

The mithril badge that could hide his identity was destroyed, and Link had to deduct one of the sixteen spell slots every day to use camouflage to hide his aura as an envoy.And the travel fee he got was still thirty silver. Link couldn't help complaining, how poor is the Natural Alliance?Only give me this when I go out.

A map, a change of clothes, dry food and clean water, plus ten books, the secondary space bag is full.Hull told Link not to use avatars outside the scope of the Guardian Land, and to walk honestly and practically.

"What's the matter, it's far away from Longyan Fort..." The birdman's fierce eyes choked up the words behind him.

"If you don't want your plan to feign death to fail, just pretend to be an ordinary person." After reprimanding Link, Hull explained earnestly that he was selected as Link's new follower, "Ney, I'll leave this guy to you."

"Chi!" The peregrine falcon with gray and white feathers uttered a crisp cry.Like Jafar, it also makes a pact with Link as a natural ally.

Since they couldn't take the direct route from Aiden, one person and one bird detoured from the southern border of the Guardian Land all the way to Longyan Castle.Due to the gap, the lack of vegetation makes this area very rare.

"It's really desolate..." Link couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Hey!" Ney, who was sitting on his shoulder, yelled. The Child of Nature can understand the language of animals, and what Link heard from it was "it wasn't like this before".

"Is it related to the crack?"

"Gee!" (Yes)

In the past, it was covered with a large forest, and there were outposts for monitoring demons.

As soon as Ney mentioned the elf outpost, Link immediately thought of Su Wen, whose alias was Rhodes. Why he was betrayed by his ally Thunder is still a mystery.Link suspects that Gonzalez hasn't told the whole story, and that he must be hiding something.This time I went to Longyan Castle, I had to ask him carefully.If we can solve the mystery, maybe we can follow the clues to find Frost's phylactery.

During the break, Link took off the 'lucky gold coin' he had been wearing on his feet.Since the magic spirit of fate was absorbed, these old leather boots became more and more weird. Not only did they walk silently, but they were also extremely soft and comfortable, and they didn't feel any pain in their feet after walking for a long time.

Link once wanted Hull to bring the boots to Paine, but Birdman said that it was no longer a sacred object, and he could not feel Malik's divine power at all.

Before being infused with Malik's power, it was just an ordinary magical item.The owner is Rhodes who once served as the president of the Shadow Thorn, and later changed his camp to become a demon hunter.

Link's guess was confirmed, and he had mixed feelings.There are so many Destiny Mobs because of this...

I don't know what happened to those two people?

Especially for Paine, Link felt even more guilty.First he took his quest props first, then tricked him into dying, and dumped Yuan Ye's big burden on him.When the fraudulent death is over, you must confess your mistake to him.

As for Yuan Ye, Link can only say sorry in his heart, the main mission is so dangerous, he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and cannot protect himself.Not to mention hugging his thighs by following him, if he fails, he may even lose his life.

After dark, the temperature dropped sharply, and Link shivered from the cold.The skin of the tree can defend but not keep warm, and even if you want to light a bonfire, there are no branches to burn.Ney the Peregrine was also shivering from the strong wind at night, and got into Link's clothes to keep warm.

There were no stars and no moon tonight, and it was pitch black. He groped his way forward entirely by perception, afraid of falling into a ravine, and dared not even use the swift wind.

Link, who was driving at night, suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Goo..." Lian Nai poked his head out from under the skirt, "Something is approaching."

At this time, could it be an orc...

Link took off the elf bow and stood still.

"Huchi...huchi..." The sound became louder and louder, like the panting sound of some kind of animal. Suddenly, a row of yellow-green fluorescent lights lit up in the sky.

It's the eyes of animals, nocturnal animals that can fly!

Linka opened his bow and aimed at the front pair of eyes.Hiding the breath of the Son of Nature, animals will only treat him as an ordinary person.

It's unlucky to fight wild beasts in this cold.

"Chirp!"

Ney flew into the air and circled twice above Link's head, telling him that it was not an enemy, but a synthetic beast from Longyan Castle.

Longyan Castle?Synthetic beast?

After a few seconds of hesitation, a huge object landed in front of Link from the air.

"who are you?"

The familiar voice made Link quickly lift off the cloak, and then the lit torches illuminated the faces of the two.

"Gonzalez?"

"Link? Why are you here?"

"Captain, do you know him?" asked the Flying Dragon Knight who landed afterwards.

Glancing at his subordinates, Gonzalez signaled the mount to lower its body and let Link sit behind him.

"Set sail and return."

The flying dragons lifted off one by one and returned to Longyan Fort.

Looking down from the air, Link found that Longyan Fortress was the rock barrier that the orcs attacked when the game was installed.On one side is Horacio Mountain, on the other side is Blade Mountain. Fortifications are built from both ends of the mountain range. The natural canyon is like a V shape, which can effectively block the orcs. It is named for its shape like a giant dragon with wings spread.

In the dark night where you can't see your fingers, this huge fortress is brightly lit, landing on the wide platform specially designed for flying dragons to take off and land, Gonzalez simply explained to his subordinates that Link is an acquaintance he knew before, and beat him away .

The area of ​​the fortress is larger than that of Aiden. Except for some necessary ground facilities, the rest of the buildings are all below the surface.In order to hollow out the rock wall, the original builder Belfast spent 20 years.

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Gonzalez, and Link put on his hood wisely to hide his face.This way he looks like just an ordinary scout.

Gonzales walked for a long time in the maze-like underground fortifications before he stopped in front of a row of caves that looked like cave dwellings. He pushed open the first wooden door and sat in the spacious room. Alone, Link immediately recognized who it was just by looking at his back.

"Why are you here?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Wu, who looked down at the letter, turned around and saw Gonzalez leading Link in.

Unable to speak clearly in a few words, let alone a magical creature in his chest, Link took off his cloak and used the old method to push Nay away, but the peregrine falcon flew out of the cave to keep watch.

"Main quest." One concise word summed up why Link appeared in Longyan Fort.

Su Wu and Gonzalez looked at each other, and they couldn't believe it. No matter how Link upgraded, he would only be a veteran in a month at most. To get in touch with the main line of Longyan Fort is above the expert level.

"Is that incident with Aiden related to you?" As early as half a month ago, Su Wu had arrived at Longyan Castle as the envoy of Hohenheim to reinforce the southern war.He also has a secret report from Aiden that the Alliance of Nature and the Dawn Sect have joined forces to expel the mages of Hohenheim from Aiden.

"Which one?" Link was a little confused.Su Wu is asking for the Suling Temple, or arresting Sherman, or something else.

"It seems that you have done something else. Let's hear it." Gonzales sat down next to Su Wu. He liked Link very much and felt that he appealed to him. The two had great tempers and hobbies. To a similar extent.

"If I tell you that, will they know about it..." Link pointed to the top of his head. With Malik's lessons learned, he didn't dare to speak casually anymore.

"Don't worry, the conversations between players will not be transmitted to the gods. What's more, the domain of the god of war here, let alone the goddess of magic, even the god of shadow Malik can't penetrate it."

With Gonzalez's guarantee, Link told all about his experiences after leaving River Valley Town.

"Fake death~hahaha~" Gonzalez laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and even Su Wu, who always had a gloomy expression, turned his mouth slightly.

"What's so funny about that?" Although it wasn't a mockery, Link still felt uncomfortable.

"I was the first player to meet a player who needed to fake death to complete the task." Gonzalez managed to stop laughing.

"Congratulations, you finally got rid of that unreliable brother-in-law." Su Wu said lightly.

"He's not bad in nature, but his teammates are too pig." Link subconsciously defended Yuan Ye.

"Okay~ To make a long story short, we can't keep his pet hanging outside, is that a magical creature?" Gonzales suggested to say what he couldn't say in front of the npc first, so as to avoid mistakes.

"I'm here as a ranger to apply for scouting. The Alliance of Nature wants me to avoid Frost and Malik's eyeliner here, and help the Dawn Sect investigate the traitor. Oh, that's right."

Link took off his boots and put them in front of Su Wu.

"This is your brother's relic."

I am in Sanjiang, please recommend, as long as I am not at the bottom, I will be satisfied. ┳＿┳
