return to edgar

Because of the necromancer, several months have passed in the illusion, and the tomb still looks like Link did last time.Without the erosion of dead air, not only moss covered the rock walls, but even insects and snakes made their homes here.In the innermost secret room, the rotting corpses exuded a foul smell after being exposed to the air.

"It's a woman." Hull could tell the gender of the corpse with just a glance.

woman?Could it be the golden rose...

Suppressing the irritating rancid smell, Link stretched out his hand to the faint mojo attached to the Book of Dawn.With the activation of divine knowledge, the whole person is pulled into the past time.The location is the underground assassin base, where Link got the lucky rabbit foot. At that time, the base had not been slaughtered by the night elves. In the secret room full of treasures, only the golden rose and Zeng and the former meeting who had died for many years long.Link didn't know his name, but he was Su Wen's successor, and he sent a letter asking Golden Rose to invite Lei Ting out of Longyan Fort on the ninth full moon.

The living person looked younger than the corpse, in his early thirties, with a well-trimmed mustache and shrewd eyes, looking more like a philistine businessman than an assassin.Wearing a black suit that matches his profession, the most eye-catching thing is not the deadly dagger at his waist, but the mithril chain hanging around his neck like a nouveau riche, with a gold coin slightly larger than ordinary coins attached.

Malik's Lucky Coin!

Link looked down at the man's feet. They were just ordinary shoes, not the lucky rabbit's feet that he later found on his feet.

Jin Meigui's reaction was the same as Link's, and her face instantly turned pale when she saw the gold coin that symbolized Malik's favor.

"You are a smart woman, you should know what this means." The former president seemed very satisfied with the other party's performance, "It's time to change your allegiance."

The tone was obviously soft, but Jin Meigui's body trembled involuntarily. She blinked her long eyelashes: "You are just a temporary agent..."

"Hehe~ For the time being...you still don't understand? It wasn't Rhodes who gave up on Malik, but Malik gave up on Rhodes. He spent too much time and energy on chasing women. What the Shadow God wants is someone who can A messenger of fear, not a playboy who only thinks about women."

As if being hit hard, Jin Meigui backed up a few steps, and didn't stop until she reached the wall.

"You mean... all this was a conspiracy from the beginning?"

"It's a bit too much to say that the conspiracy, the gods just discarded useless chess pieces."

"Eric!" Jin Meigui shouted with fear, making Link's hair stand on end.

This man is Eric in Su Wen's diary?

"You are his follower, yet you have a different heart..." Before she finished speaking, Jin Meigui's jaw was pinched by a man who was about the same height as her.

"I follow him because he is the best assassin and has won Malik's favor. But it's different now, he has lost his favor, and you should give up. There is no future with such a man, and... he I don't like you at all. Men are not interested in what is available at their fingertips, and it is best not to get it."

Jin Meigui broke away from Eric and ran out of the secret room. Seeing her running away, Eric snorted coldly, reached out and stroked the gold coin hanging on his chest, his cold eyes were full of undisguised ambition .

The scene shook violently as the golden rose ran, and when it returned to calm again, it turned out to be the night when the accident happened.Due to the angle, Jin Meigui only saw Lei Ting's spear piercing Su Wen's chest.

This time, Link's attention was all on the golden rose, making up for the details that were not discovered last time.She opened her mouth wide, her feet were trembling, and finally leaned up, but the female demon summoned by the magic circle exploded Su Wen's body into a bloody mist.Although he didn't speak, the desperate and painful eyes confirmed Link's previous guess that Jin Meigui liked Su Wen, not just the respect that subordinates have for their superiors.

With a scream, Jin Meigui turned around and ran wildly in extreme shock and fear. She ran back to Longyan Castle, telling everyone that Thunder killed Rhodes and Lena transformed into a lich.

Due to being contaminated with the deadly poisonous gas, Jin Meigui's body quickly collapsed. She suffered from an incurable high fever, babbled all day long, and was so emaciated that she couldn't see that she was once a radiant and peerless singer.The innkeeper who kindly took her in called the pastor of Chenxi to pray for the poor man who was about to die.

"I... Guilty... I killed him..." The flashback made her wake up, temporarily bid farewell to the nightmare that she could never get rid of.I couldn't say a few words, and I was sobbing.

The priest, a kindly elder, bent down and cast a cure on the frail penitent that would make her a little more comfortable.

"Pastor, will God forgive those who make mistakes..." Jin Meigui's spirit improved a lot under the treatment.

"Everyone makes mistakes."

"Because of my own selfishness, I killed an innocent person, and his soul has been imprisoned in the hands of the Lich. I am too weak to rescue him..."

Hearing the word lich, the pastor turned his face to the innkeeper and made eye contact, then leaned down again, and whispered in Jin Rose's ear: "Do you have any unfulfilled last wishes?"

"She will come...I know, she will definitely come. Eric will not let the world know the truth, he will come to destroy the evidence...hehe..." After coughing sharply, Jin Meigui lifted his hands from his arms with trembling hands. He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the pastor.Before the pastor took it, she withdrew her hand again: "No, this proves nothing. Pastor, bury this with me. If one day the truth hunters can find it, they will be able to uncover the truth buried in history. inner……"

The breath of Golden Rose gradually weakened, and the pastor closed her open eyes in a prayer praising the dawn, and placed a thick scroll on Golden Rose's chest, pressing it with her thin arms.As time passed, Link woke up from divine knowledge, looking at the corpse in exactly the same posture, he felt mixed feelings.

After confirming that Link was awake, Hull asked aloud, "What did you see?"

"Is the former president of the Shadow Thorn named Eric? The one who succeeded Rhodes." God knew that he could not be mistaken, and asked Hull for verification, but Link wanted a clear answer.

"That's right, why do you ask this?" Hull was not the one who witnessed the incident back then, and heard a lot of it from Iris.If the night elves hadn't cleaned Shadow Thorn's old base, he wouldn't have known that the killed Shadow Thorn president was not only an Alkin near the Guardian Land, but also Rhode's earliest follower.

Eric is missing, but how did he get in touch with Yan Dong?

Link scratched his head in distress.By the way... Isn't his body still there, maybe we can find some clues from it.

"How did you deal with the abandoned base near the border?" Link prayed that the birdman would not set it on fire or something.

"Buried it with soil, he has something to do with frost?" From Link's few words, Hull already has the answer.

"Aidan was introduced to Rhodes by Eric. If Frost Cold wants to eliminate the traces of the past, it will definitely kill everyone who knows it. The night elves attacking the Assassin's Guild must have been instructed by Malik." About why the night elves attacked The Thorn of Shadow, Link had already thought of it.Malik himself is the second-generation god of night elves. Just like the glow elves also believe in Lorien, the god of the forest, many night elves will choose the god of shadows as their belief.

Rushing to the abandoned underground base that had been completely blocked, Link summoned the earth element to dig out the soil again. In order to preserve the unknown location of Eric's body, he specially divided the several-meter-high earth element into ten parts.When the secret room containing a large amount of gold and silver was cleared out, the spell slots had all been updated, and the mummy of the former president was still lying on the pile of coins piled up like a hill. He was a little older than what Link had seen with his divine sense. Appears to be about 40 years old.

It seems that it took a lot of time to gain a firm foothold after completely abandoning the severe winter of the past, otherwise it should have started to kill it when it became a lich, and it would not have allowed Eric to live for a few more years.

Using God's knowledge again, this time in front of Link is an old tavern, Lei Ting, Lena, and Su Wen are sitting at a table in the corner, discussing something with Eric.The wooden door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and the sunlight came in from the outside. The face of the person who pushed the door could not be seen clearly, but the outline of the body was unusually clear. The very thin figure made Link suddenly realize that this person was Yan Dong!

He closed the door, moved lightly, and came to the table in the corner.His facial features are delicate, his skin is fair, and he looks gentle, giving a good impression.On the white robe was embroidered a round emblem of the sun symbolizing the sun and light, with obvious features, the priest of Dawn.

"Are you the priest recommended by Eric?" The female mage spoke first, Lena raised her eyebrows and looked at the thin boy who was only as tall as her shoulders.

Su Wen, whose alias was Rhodes, winked at Eric who was on the side. The follower who knew how to read words also took away the owner of the part-time bartender when they withdrew, and there were only four people left in the whole tavern.

"How long have you been playing?" Lei Ting was the second to speak, and his expression was much kinder than Lena's.

"Three years." Yan Dong's answer stunned the three of them.

Su Wen circled around him: "I really can't tell, it looks like a novice. Hey~ What's your rank?"

"Just passed Master." The thin boy's answer was surprising again, and the three of them exchanged glances.

"Just him." Lei Ting ignored Lena's suggestion of reconsidering, and chose Yan Dong to join the Alliance of the Circle.

"Why don't you test my strength first?" Yan Dong was also surprised, he didn't expect to pass the interview.

"No need, Chen Xi is a good god of order, and his priest's temperament is not too bad." In Link's view, Lei Ting's words were more about his confidence in his own strength.

Then there was the contract ceremony of the Alliance of the Rings. Four people cut their fingers and filled in their names with their own blood on the simple Edgar Ring, vowing not to betray their companions, and to live and die together.

"What's your name?" Lena always held a hostility towards her new companion.

"My name is Aidan in the game, but my real name is Yan Dong." The boy who was about the same age as Su Wen said with a smile.
