Chapter 267: Mission Puzzle

Caroline's tomb was empty......

After the night used the identification, he didn't say anything, just staring at the broken tombstone in front of him.

Hanguang didn't know what she was thinking, for fear of interrupting her train of thought, he didn't say anything for a while, until the time slipped by for several minutes, and he tried to ask, "Did you think of something?"

"I'm thinking back to the first time I killed Caroline's boss. Ye Su frowned slightly and said: "She said something at the time, it sounds like it means something, but I can't remember all the original words, only the general meaning." ”

"That's pretty much it. Hanguang asked with interest, "What did she say?"

"When she saw me, I had been lamenting the impermanence of life, and I interrupted her impatiently and asked her about the magician Odlan, only to have a sudden outburst, and rebuked human beings for always having obsessions that they shouldn't have, so that she should not have existed in this world, and now she has to be so painfully alive. "By the way, when she was killed by me, she also said 'I wish she never woke up again', this is her original words, I will be surprised to hear it, so I remember it more clearly." ”

After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "I didn't understand much of Caroline's words at the time, but now I can almost understand it by revisiting the clues we have investigated." She rebuked human beings for always having obsessions that they shouldn't have, but she was actually venting her frustration with Ambrose, who must not let go of her death, so we are in that hut by the lake. Seeing so many portraits of Caroline, this is an obsession, he must be exhausted. Even though he knew that Caroline would be in pain, he insisted on letting her be reborn in this world. ”

That would explain why the tomb was empty. After hearing this, Hanguang nodded and said, "Maybe Ambrose just set up an empty grave and didn't bury her here at all, of course, it is also possible that she was buried at first, but then in order to make her reborn, he took her away again." ”

"Follow the guidance and you will have a new life. As he spoke, he read the line on the tombstone again, saying, "This passage must have been left by Ambrose as well." Only he would think about giving Caroline a new lease of life. ”

At this, Hanguang paused for a moment, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples. After a moment's silence, he continued, "I'm now certain that Ambrose's conversion has something to do with Caroline's death. ”

Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What do you say?"

Hanguang explained: "According to the game's setting, there are only three spells that can resurrect and regenerate people, one is light magic and the other is natural magic. There is also necromancy. Light magic is what priests and paladins are good at, and they must have a firm faith, natural magic is a means of druids, and it also requires faith and the ability to get close to nature, and the resurrection of these two kinds of magic has a time limit, and it can only resurrect people who have just died, which is probably not very suitable for Ambrose's needs, and he, a magician, cannot control these two kinds of magic. So if he wants to resurrect Caroline, he can only choose necromancy. In this way, the reason why he suddenly disappeared after the racial melee is also clear, necromancy is a forbidden art and cannot be used openly, he can only hide and study it secretly. ”

Hearing this, the night suddenly broke through, and he deduced from the previous tasks: "Ambrose may have been hiding in the stone hall to study necromantic magic at first, didn't Adrian say it, during the War of the Seals, it used to be a secret mage stronghold, so in the later stage of the racial melee, that place is no longer needed, it must have been abandoned, just used to study necromantic magic, so when we enter the stone hall, we will encounter so many undead monsters, and the formation in the center of the stone hall has also been completely transformed." ”

The more she spoke, the smoother her train of thought became, and then she added: "Later, I don't know what the reason is, maybe it was the need to study necromancy, Ambrose also hid in the secret room under the lighthouse in Tidal Town for a while, causing the mysterious disappearance of the local population. His disciple Audran discovered his secret during the investigation of the disappearance case and wanted to dissuade him, but he had been eroded by necromancy at that time, not only did he not listen to Odran's persuasion, but also beat Odran to a serious injury, and then due to guilt and self-blame, he temporarily regained his senses, for fear that one day he would be completely degraded into inhumanity, only the evil of killing, so he drank a potion and decided to let himself sleep forever. ”

These are all tasks that Nightlight has done, because they are intermittently incoherent when they are done, she has not thought deeply, and now it seems that these tasks are like pieces of a puzzle, scattered there irregularly, no one can see the reason from them, but once they are put together, even if it is only a corner, it is much easier to put together the rest of the pieces.

At this moment, the night was piecing together the fragments of these tasks, and gradually saw the outline of the whole puzzle, or the truth of the whole incident, she continued to speculate along the train of thought: "I don't know how Ambrose woke up later, maybe the sleeping potion was ineffective, maybe—"

Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and directly paused her words, frowning, and after a while, she looked at Han Guang and said, "I suspect that I woke up Ambrose." ”

The jump in her train of thought was too great, and Hanguang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand it for a while, so she had to ask her: "You can tell me more about it." ”

Nightshade tried to clarify her thoughts and said: "I just suddenly realized that Ambrose's awakening should be the inevitable result of a long time ago, because only when he wakes up, the main quest can continue, in this way, his awakening must need a trigger condition, triggered by a task related to him, I suspect that the mission of the wizard Audran I once did is this trigger condition." ”

Hanguang listened with interest, waiting for her to continue.

"I remember Odlan the Wizard's mission very well, because I got a fragment of a manuscript of unknown origin from a mysterious merchant with the words on it that I couldn't read. I went to the library to ask Adrian to help me translate, and after Adrian finished translating, he was very interested in the mysterious disappearance recorded in the manuscript. Please check it out when I go to Tidetown. Nightlight recalled: "I have already said the follow-up results of this mission, so I will not repeat it, the key is that not long after I took this mission, the Frost Dragon refreshed in the Canyon of Sighs." ”

Nightshade said and asked Coldlight, "Do you remember why the Frost Dragon spawned there?"

"Well, it was wounded by Ambrose and fled to the Canyon of Sighs. Hanguang affirmed, "The first mission I took on related to Ambrose was to investigate the cause of his injury. ”

"So injuring the Frost Dragon was the first thing Ambrose did when he woke up. Nightlight folded his hands and said, "You." The water is bloody, the sonorous roses, and the nine-fold drunken geese. You've all received the main quest, but you only received it after the Frost Dragon appeared, that is, after Ambrose awakened, and only I took the quest for Audran. It was before the Frost Dragon appeared. In this way, it is likely that Audran's quest is the cause of the main quest, triggering Ambrose's awakening. ”

Hanguang thought back to the task that everyone received, and found that it was really in line with the analysis of the night, so he nodded and said: "Now we have finally sorted out this task, as expected, the last step of the mission is to kill Ambrose." This boss is quite tricky, and the rewards should be quite considerable after killing it. But knowing why he had fallen into a necromancer, I really didn't want to kill him. ”

"yes. He just wanted to resurrect Caroline, but he put himself in it, became a hero for most of his life, saved the entire Eislynn world, and finally became the public enemy of the Eislynn world, and what is even more tragic is that Caroline still doesn't accept his ......" Speaking of this, the night couldn't help laughing at herself, shook her head and said: "Forget it, what do we worry about NPCs, the main quest has been set a long time ago, and we can't change it, and if you want to kill Ambrose, you have to train the level, otherwise who kills who may not be necessarily!"

As they spoke, they left the cemetery in Yar Town, returned to the main city of Isedan, and replied to Dora about the task, and then saw that it was still early, so they didn't rush offline, took a few simple tasks, and went to level up in a team.

As for the main quest, they have cleared their minds, but they have not yet got the physical evidence, and they can't report it to the NPC, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about this, they believe that Adrian, who has always run through the main quest and provided them with a lot of help for free, will get this thing done.

Sure enough, on the third day, as soon as he went online after class at night, he found an extra letter from Adrian in the mailbox, which said that he had rummaged through the different versions of Ambrose's biography in the library, and the memoirs written by those magicians of the same period, and finally found some clues that could be used to speculate on the cause of Ambrose's fall, and he sorted out these clues and appended them at the back of the letter.

The night flew through the appendix and found the so-called clues, that is, some words and phrases, such as the memories written by a certain magician about how Ambrose grieved after the loss of his beloved daughter, and the account that a certain magician had discussed the resurrection with Ambrose before his disappearance, in short, they were all text fragments that could not be used as evidence alone, but they could be used to deduce the cause of Ambrose's fall after reading them all. In addition to this, Adrian has also collected many ancient legends from the town of Yar, which vaguely seem to be related to Ambrose.

That's enough!

The night felt that these clues were trivial enough, and there was a suspicion of chasing the wind, but the investigation itself was chasing the wind and shadows, and the investigation was still hundreds of years ago, and it was not easy to find these relevant clues, at least it was no problem to take this information to Langton as evidence.

Of course, Langton is not very easy to deal with, he may also feel that the evidence is insufficient, if that is the case, the night has already thought of a countermeasure, then directly pack this old man to the hut by the lake in Yar, let him see the portrait of Caroline in the room, experience Ambrose's obsession on the spot, or give him a shovel, let him also go to the cemetery to dig Caroline's grave!.

(To be continued......)
