() "Don't tell me this thing has a curse effect, Rhodes lost his life only after losing it." Link turned to look at Gonzales, who waved his hands again and again.

"How could I know that when I saw it, Rhodes really called it a lucky gold coin."

"Huh... the lucky gold coin is the sacred object of the God of Shadows, engraved with Malik's holy emblem, it is said that it can sense the conspiracy against oneself and avoid every fatal injury. This is what Rhodes used Lena sent his boots a homemade magic item."

As soon as Lena's name was spoken, both Link and Gonzalez changed color.

It was the first time they had seen an npc dare to say this name without any taboo.

"Why, do you also think Lena is Shuanghan?"

"Isn't it?" Link asked back. Even Hull, who is a child of nature, said so, so he shouldn't be wrong.

The old dwarf stared at Link with cloudy eyes, "She is a good woman, she really loves Lei Ting, and she almost died several times trying to save him. I never believe that such a woman would betray him for the vain longevity."

This is obviously an npc who knows the inside story. Decades have passed in the illusion, and few people know what happened back then.Link knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and hoped that Dante could tell what happened back then. He was investigating the mystery of the Lich King Shuanghan's phylactery. If he could find out this mystery, he could also break Frosthan's immortality.

"Back then..." Dante took out the pipe he was carrying with him, rolled it with his fingers, and sparked a spark from the scorching furnace, and exhaled a puff of smoke heavily.

Back then, Lei Ting was the captain of the Dragon Cavalry in Longyan Fortress, and Lena was the youngest magister in Hohenheim. They met in the Adventure Union, they went on missions together, and grew up together. They are a well-known couple.The alliance sworn by the ring has the best reputation and achievements among the adventurers of the same period. They lived up to expectations and entered the pinnacle field. Just when everyone thought they would become a new generation of legends...

The pleasant but short memories came to an abrupt end because of the sudden closing of the eyes. After taking a few deep breaths, Dante continued: "I still remember that day, as if it happened yesterday...she came in the night When they arrived at Longyan Fort, Lei Ting left with her and never came back."

There was a painful pause on the expression for a long time before Link heard the voice of the old dwarf again.

"Three days later, news came from the Alliance of Nature that Thunder had opened a passage to the abyss with the sacrifice of the demon hunters on the southern border. With the assistance of the Druids of the Pillars of the Earth, they were driven back to the Kaogo Wasteland. Commander Susare was furious and ordered that the traitor Thunder must be captured, but he just disappeared and there was no news from him."

"Didn't you say you were dead?"

"Heh... that was just a rhetoric to the world. No one is heard, no one is dead, but he seems to have evaporated. At the beginning, there were rumors that he was seen in the crack, and the previous commanders also sent people deep. Nothing, as if it has never appeared in this world." Dante buried his face in his hands. Since Belfast, Lei Ting is his favorite human being. He is loyal to his friends and rules strictly. Under the current situation, everyone including Susaray believes that he will be the next commander.

Link and Gonzalez exchanged a look. Since Thunder is a player, he might not be dead yet, and he might have escaped from the illusion, so there has been no news about him.

Since Lei Ting is not dead, then Lena kills him and collects three pieces of soul to transform into a god.Why does Hull want to hit her as Frost Cold?

"Conspiracy... is a conspiracy against him... only him...it must be him!" Dante muttered to himself.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Rod!"

"This... is too arbitrary, what evidence do you have?" Link subconsciously defended his friend. Su Wen is not that kind of person, and he was only 16 years old at the time, so it is impossible for him to have such a vicious heart?Dare to kill npcs may not dare to kill living people in reality.

"He likes Lena, everyone knows it. Lena also clearly rejected him, he must be out of revenge, so..." Speaking of hatred, Dante picked up the hammer and smashed it hard on the iron pier.

Even if Su Wen liked that female mage and felt jealous, he might not dare to do this.The Su Wen that Link knew was optimistic, outgoing, and warm-hearted. He instinctively rejected the dwarf's inferences.

Is it possible that someone else did it and put the blame on Su Wen...

He expressed his thoughts, but was immediately denied by Dante.

"No, I must be Rhodes! Only he can command the Golden Rose, the woman who took Thunder from Longyan Castle."

"Who's that?" Link always thought that the 'she' Dante was referring to was Lena, and the only golden rose he knew was the name of Aiden's hotel.

"The most popular singer of the year, Lei Ting was confused by her banshee-like singing, and there was a gap in his relationship with Lena."

It is difficult for Link to draw conclusions from the existing character relationships and information. Whether it is a player or an NPC, they all have a strong subjective consciousness when explaining what they know, and what they say may not be the truth.It seems that we have to find another way to find new ideas...

"I have a question." Link counted on his fingers, "Thunder, Lena, Rhodes, who else is there?"

"Aidan." Gonzalez's knowledge of this person was limited to his name and occupation, "he is the priest of Dawn."

"Since he is a member of the Circle Alliance, why wasn't he involved in that incident back then? Is there such a possibility..." After a slight pause, Link said something that surprised even himself, "The real culprit behind the scenes is Aidan , He set up a bureau to frame the other three allies, and he monopolized the soul to transform into a lich."

"Impossible!" The dwarf Dante once again overturned Link's guess. "Aidan died long ago. He died of illness before that happened. His remains are buried in Dennis Cathedral."

Dead...then this thread will be cut off.

The room fell into silence again. Link scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. He still needed clues. As long as he could prove who Shuanghan was, then its phylactery would come out.

Dante asked Gonzales that bringing Link would never be as simple as customizing weapons and armor.

"I can't hide it from you, I brought him here to learn soul forging."

"He wants to be a craftsman?" Dante glanced at Link who was scratching his head, unable to think of an answer. "I can teach him this skill, but there is an exchange."

"Huh?" Hearing that Gonzalez seemed to say his name, Link turned his head, just in time to see the old dwarf looking at him with extremely strange eyes.

"Enlightenment, Knowledge, Consolidation, Presentation, Which Talent Are You?"

Uh... why haven't I heard of this kind of classification? Link opened his mouth to ask carefully, and suddenly the skill list written on the inheritance flashed in his mind. Now the two top skills of Isol and Gasos are written as special skills. Divine enlightenment, divine knowledge, could it be this?He tried to answer, "Knowledge and enlightenment."

"Very good, it's exactly what I need." Dante's door leading to another room is full of all kinds of weapons and armors that have been made, including many shiny magic items. The moment the door is opened, Link's The feet are stunned.

The magic of fate, he felt, although the number was small, it was unmistakable.

In the innermost corner, Dante pulled out an unremarkable black wooden box from a pile of items. After opening it with the key hanging on his chest, what appeared in front of Link was a letter, slightly yellowed, although it was old. , but there is still a faint fragrance, and the wax seal is a blooming rose.

"This is the letter that woman sent to Thunder." Dante brought the wooden box to Link, "Use your divine knowledge, I need to know what happened that year?"

Link picked up the envelope, took out the letter paper, and wrote only one sentence on it, [Ninth full moon, I'll see you. 】

"This is..." Link hurriedly took out the letter found in the ancient tomb last time from the dimension bag.

After a comparison, sure enough, although the content has been changed, the general idea is the same.

Dante's complexion changed drastically, and he asked where did Lin Kexin get it?When he learned that it was an ancient tomb near Hegu Town, he insisted that Rhodes framed Thunder. The shadow thorn's lair was originally in that area, and it was moved to Aiden after Rhode's death.

"Who wrote it, you can tell at a glance with the prophecy." Gonzalez did not jump to conclusions.

Link looked at the two letters in his hand. The wax seal he got from the ancient tomb was destroyed, and he couldn't guess who the sender was.And the content of the two letters is the same, "Which one should I look at?"

"Of course it is this one!" Dante pointed to the one Link held, his own one was sent by Golden Rose, so there was no need to read it.

Well, try and see what you can see.

Link activated Divine Sense.The picture freezes and distorts again.He suddenly jumped to a strange scene, it was pitch black, and just as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, a candle light lit up, revealing a face that Ke had never seen before.Female, black hair and green eyes, typical Caucasian, not particularly good-looking, but she has a peculiar temperament, which blends with the darkness to add a sense of coquettishness.

This is... a golden rose?From the name, I thought it was a blonde beauty.Link thought.

The candle was suddenly blown by the wind, and a figure slowly approached. The visitor was covered from head to toe by a black cloak. Even if he was very close, the faint candlelight could not illuminate the face under the hood.

The woman trembled slightly, forced to stare at each other calmly.The man took out an envelope, the unopened wax seal was clearly visible under the candlelight, a human face, oh no, maybe it could be understood as a mask?

"You know what to do." It was a man who could be identified from the voice, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Link reached out to his hood in a strange way.As if sensing something, the man suddenly turned his head, startling the woman who was reading the letter, and the envelope fell to the ground.

It was this brief look back that Link saw the face hidden in the hood.

"If you really want him, don't screw it up."

The woman picked up the envelope and the candle went out.The prophecy shown by the oracle also ends.

It was him, I didn't expect...

"What did you see?" Dante grabbed Link's arm and shook it vigorously. Just after waking up from a trance, Link shook his head.

"Hmm..." His eyes turned black. I don't know if it's the sequelae of God's knowledge or he is not used to the brightness. Link waited for the discomfort to subside, and then pointed to the boots already on his feet, "Its previous owner .”

"It really is Rhodes!" Dante was overjoyed.

Link shook his head, "No, it's the guy who succeeded Rhodes as the president. I found the lucky rabbit's foot in the base of the Shadow Thorn that was besieged by the night elves, and I wore it on the foot of the messenger. I didn't realize there was a connection between them."
