Chapter 8: The Ruins of Aiper

However, experience is secondary, and the monster's drops are what Xie Lang cares about the most. After touching it, three silver coins were in hand, which was quite generous, and there was a pair of shoes, no surprise, elite-level equipment.

Necromantic Leather Shoes (Enhanced): Physical Defense 5, increases agility by 3, increases movement speed by 3%, requires level 5.

It was a pair of shoes made for the Assassins.

Xie Lang immediately put on the undead leather shoes, only to feel that his body was lighter and faster. Unexpectedly, this poisonous carrion corpse gave a good gift.

There are still more than a hundred arrows in the backpack, Xie Lang plans to practice for a while, who said that he can't stay in the wild at night, now not only stay, but also kill monsters and level up.

However, having only killed two carrion corpses, he suddenly felt something unusual, and with the Assassin's excellent senses, he found that he seemed to be targeted by something.

And not far away, in the faint moonlight, the figure of a knight could be vaguely seen, wrapped in armor, holding a spear in his hand, and his cloak swaying in the wind, which was called majestic. The horse's spurt of breath, its front feet trampling the ground incessantly, and its temper was obviously not very good, and its eyes, blue and blue, like phosphorus fire, stared at the front. But that's not the point, judging by the silhouette of the knight's body, his shoulders to his neck, empty, could he shrink his bones?

No!

He doesn't even have a head!

"No head, no head." Xie Lang was silently chanting in his heart, and suddenly a name appeared in his mind, Headless Horseman Cade!

Headless Horseman Cade (Elite): Level ??? Blood volume???

sighed and said in his heart: It seems that a day's hard work is going to be in vain.

What does it mean to meet this monster Xie Lang knew very well in his heart that the level and blood volume were question marks, and only if the level gap between the two sides exceeded fifteen levels, such a situation would occur. With a strong team like the Jianfeng team, nearly half of the combat power was dispatched to encircle and suppress, but he was almost wiped out by the group, which is enough to prove his strength.

Before, Xie Lang was still blindly thinking about seeing his heroic appearance, but now he got his wish, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

can't wait for death, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you can't give up, think about it, but ignite the desire to survive.

The horse neighed in the sky, the spear was raised, and the headless horseman Kaide launched a charge, and the momentum was overwhelming.

When Xie Lang saw his posture, where could he afford to resist the idea, because he knew that it was impossible to resist. Such a strong existence, in front of him, what is the difference between the so-called master and the rookie, turn around and run.

The Headless Horseman is incredibly fast, and once the Knight has completed his charge, he is unstoppable, and anyone who tries to stand in the way is bound to be hit hard. Xie Lang thought to himself, this headless horseman must have been a powerful knight before his death, and he should be a nobleman, and he could see it by looking at his heroic armor. Seeing the spear attacking, it suddenly rolled to one side, and it was very embarrassing, but when I saw this blow of broken stone flying around, I couldn't help but be surprised: this is too exaggerated! was hit by an absolute instant kill, but when I thought of what happened to the Peak team, what was it to myself, I was relieved when I thought of it.

The Headless Horseman Cade misses a blow and attacks again with a slight adjustment. Can't let him charge again, it's just luck to dodge once before, but good luck doesn't come often, Xie Lang had a bold idea in his heart, and rushed forward and slammed in.

The Headless Horseman Kade paused and immediately regained his senses. Xie Lang knew that he wanted to think big, he wanted to stun the boss with a stun blow, and then use the pitiful stun time to escape, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, although this stun hit the stun effect, it caused less than half a second.

The bubble of fantasy bursts, and the Headless Horserider Cade charges again. Xie Lang was bent on escaping, panicked, and his vision at night was too poor, so he didn't know that there was a swamp ahead, and when he stepped in, the number of injuries caused by poisoning floated above his head. But what is it, anyway, he was chased by the headless horseman Cade, and he was also a death, so he ignored these and walked forward, and suddenly saw the phosphorus fire in front of him fluttering.

There must be something strange about this phosphorus fire.

Behind him, the Headless Horseman Cade saw that he was about to attack, and his speed in the swamp had dropped a lot, and there was no way to escape. Since he has given up the desire to escape, Xie Lang has put his mind on the phosphorus fire in front of him, since entering this swamp, this phosphorus fire has been following him, it seems to be a little spiritual, but he has not looked carefully, and now it is within reach, take a closer look, it seems to vaguely see a girl's eyes, unconsciously reach out and touch it, it feels cold, and it seems that there are a thousand words to tell.

Suddenly, the body sank, and quickly sank down, from the legs to the waist, and then from the chest down. It seems that the Headless Horseman Cade doesn't need to do anything.

Soon, Xie Lang completely fell into the swamp, but he didn't hang up, but just felt like it was constantly sinking. After a long time, I suddenly felt that my body was light, and the depressing feeling of being deep in the swamp disappeared, and my body was actually suspended, and then it was the feeling of falling heavily from a height.

Xie Lang opened his eyes, and there was a royal palace in front of him. Rubbing his eyes, he made sure that he was not mistaken, this was real, it was a royal palace, although it was dilapidated.

System: You discovered the ruins of the Epper Palace.

It was actually the ruins of the Aipo Palace, and Xie Lang was like a dream. The history of Epper City has been read in the library, but it is not recorded in detail, only that it has been destroyed for thousands of years, and the imperial palace that was the center of Epper City seems to have been completely wiped out, and no matter how hard people try, they can never find any trace of its existence, as if it never existed.

"I'm here!" Suddenly there was a voice in my ears, but there was no one around.

"I'm here!" I heard the voice again, softly and gently, the voice of a young girl. Xie Lang followed the sound and gradually walked into the palace.

In the palace, although the years have eroded its glorious appearance and made it dilapidated, it cannot erode its imperial temperament.

"I'm here!" The sound was getting closer, and Xie Lang pushed open a door and walked into a room, but it was spotless, as if someone had lived in it all along. This must be a girl's boudoir, with all kinds of women's favorite decorations, and strangely enough, this room does not seem to have been eroded by time, and it seems that someone has always lived here. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing a book on the table to turn the pages of the book.

Xie Lang was a little curious, walked over and took his hand to look at it, it turned out to be a diary, signed by Joselene, and opened it casually.

This is really a strange fellow, he dared to openly disobey my orders, I angrily told him: I am a princess, you must listen to me. It's obviously his fault......

……

Great, I've been waiting for this day for sixteen years. My father said that as soon as I was sixteen years old, he would take me hunting. No, how could the guy leading the team be so familiar, oh my God! It's him, how could my father send this nasty guy to lead the team, and ask him to guarantee my safety. I'm sure my father's decision was terrible!

……

You hateful witch, you dare to imprison me, don't you know that I am a princess? What, you still have to change my face, and then go to be my father's precious princess, don't, I don't want to become an old and ugly witch. But who can hear my desperate cries? Who can come and save me. Like an angel, he came down from heaven and slew the abominable witch and saved me. For the first time, I found out that this nasty guy actually had a very handsome face and a pair of clear and charming blue eyes.

……

"What? You say he's back?" I couldn't hide the joy in my heart when I heard the news of his triumphant return from the battlefield, and everyone shouted your name - Cade, our hero. I can't help but tell you that my father has agreed to our marriage, and as soon as you return triumphantly, he will hold a grand wedding for us at once. In fact, as long as you return safely, nothing matters......

It turns out that this is a diary of a young girl recording the budding youth, and the name Cade in it seems to be a little familiar, by the way, the elite monster headless horseman is also called Cade! Xie Lang continued to read.

On this day, the happiest day of my life, on the shore of the beautiful Pampas, Cayde kissed me affectionately, and he said, I will make you the happiest woman in the world! However, the demons are coming, and they bring nightmares and despair. My Cade, who did not hesitate to take up arms and fight bloodily, saw victory in sight, but was ruthlessly betrayed by his closest comrades.

Cade was killed in battle at the age of twenty-seven.

His head was cut off and hung on the bell tower, the hateful demons wanted to suppress us with this, but they didn't expect this to stimulate our desire to resist, the war lasted for a full week, we suffered countless casualties, but Cade's death inspired the war spirit in people's hearts, and it seemed that the demons could be driven out of our hometown, but something unexpected happened. Cade's corpse was resurrected by the demons, and with the hatred of being betrayed by his comrades, he became a complete killing tool, and we couldn't resist the powerful Cade at all, and the city of Epper fell, and everyone was slaughtered. I can't imagine my Cade becoming like this, I can clearly feel his hand trembling when his spear is about to pierce my chest, and I know that he has never forgotten me in his heart, even though he has no head and no mind of his own.

Seeing this, the corners of Xie Lang's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. It turns out that the Headless Horseman Cade has such an epic and beautiful love story.

Xie Lang put down the diary in his hand, and suddenly a blue fire appeared in front of him, slowly changing, and finally turned into the appearance of a girl, with a shallow smile on her face, beautiful and elegant, like water tenderness.

If she hadn't guessed wrong, she would have been the owner of the diary, Princess Joselyn.
