"Congratulations to the players of Huangfu City for obtaining the Lord Recognition Artifact! Gain Gold*50000, Personal Reputation*10000. ”

Sudden system announcements resounded in the sky above us, and such news was like a rock falling in the water, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

"Damn!? Less than two hours after the copy was opened, someone actually got the artifact!? The old white beside him scratched his ears and cheeks, his face was sour, and his words were full of lemon flavor.

"This is the creation of others, we have to work harder," although the sea is not as exaggerated as Lao Bai, but the bitter brow is also full of envy.

Although I am extremely envious of other people's opportunities, it also shows that there are indeed extremely high rewards in this dungeon, which can stimulate people's motivation.

While talking, we have also found the [Tomb of the Celestial Master] according to their memories of the sea, and there is no military camp outside the map during the internal beta period, so there is no teleportation point at all, and it is completely based on the sense of direction to find it on foot.

It's a pity that we worked hard to get here, but we didn't get anything, and now this dungeon has not been activated by the player to activate the special plot, so there is no way to enter at all.

Alas...... I was still thinking about going in and meeting with the Saint Venerable now to see if I could get a magic weapon or something as a traverser, but now it seems that the system has probably already taken into account those of us players who hide classes or hidden races......

In addition to this, there are two other things I want to confirm, one is whether the artifact can be obtained repeatedly; The other is the [Holy Lance Record], the background of the closed beta period should be a few years before the open beta, I don't know how far the difference is, but my current [Holy Lance Record] includes the deeds of the three ancestors of Han Li, Shen Ya and Jing Yihong, and each of them has a story synopsis that can be used as a reference.

The matter about Han Li and Shen Ya should be completely out of search, Han Li was completely killed in the death battle with the evil ghosts and demons, and even his soul was followed into the [City of No Return] sealed by the [Transformation Scroll]; Shen Ya was even drowned, and I watched his body dissipate into ashes.

I haven't seen Jing Hongyi alone, but I was fortunate enough to see a statue of him in the [Ethereal Valley], [Holy Lance Record] has countless mysteries that have not yet been solved, Fetic has not made any progress in his life, the background time of the internal test is higher than the public beta, or traces of him can be found, maybe more clues can be found by touching the vine.

The curiosity about the artifact was unified in the hearts of the four of us, first went to the ghost lake, and then went to find the NPC who obtained the [Deceptive Soul Bowl] during the internal test of the sea, but still found nothing; Ghost lakes do exist, but the lake is empty, only muddy water; The NPC was still in place, but how to ask was just a casual chat, and there was no mention of the artifact.

Lao Bai has his own opinion on this situation: "It is estimated that there are two possibilities, either the artifact that has been obtained by the player cannot be obtained repeatedly; Or they are worried that old players will be able to obtain artifacts too easily by using the light car during the closed beta, so the settings in this dungeon will definitely not be completely copied. ”

The opportunistic method of finding the artifact did not work, and the team without a clear goal simply followed me to explore the [Holy Spear Record]; Relying on the records, our group came to the Imperial City of the Protoss, wanting to see if we could find out the history of the Imperial City of the Protoss.

"I don't know."

The NPCs in the inner period are already quite intelligent, but their answers are monotonous, and they are hastily vetoed on things they don't know, without any superfluous clues to verify.

After searching the whole street to no avail, I sat on the side of the road with my head held in frustration, feeling a little tangled in my thoughts.

Lao Bai walked out of the tavern next to him, carrying four wine gourds in his hand, threw one of us, and couldn't bear to open the drink: "Ha......!" I liked this wine the most during the internal test, and it was very much to my liking...... I said Xiaoyu! Don't be sad, I know you've seen others get artifacts, but that kind of thing is not something you can get with your efforts, sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you can't force it in your life. ”

They didn't have my experience, so they naturally didn't understand my sorrows, they just touched the gourd and drank, and then expressed their feelings.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Suddenly, there was a hurried shout from a distance, and the players and NPCs on the street scattered in all directions, followed by a group of guards running by, anxious as fire.

"Those are the guards of the Imperial City of the Protoss during the closed beta." The sea recognized the costumes and pointed to the group and said to me.

"Really?" Surprised, I stood up and looked in the direction they were running, and then chased after them as fast as I could.

"Alas!! Xiaoyu, why are you going! They shouted to me, and although they didn't know why, they all started to run wildly.

The guards were fast, but I was able to catch up with them after the bonuses were activated, and they ran around the Imperial City for nearly half a circle before finally stopping at the gates.

There was a group of players around the city gate, and there were two teams of people who were fighting because of the rush for the task.

But when those people saw the guards coming, they didn't dare to continue to make a mistake, so they quickly turned around and ran out of the city.

"Hey! I thought something was going on.,Dare to love it's the player who fights and provokes the NPCs! Lao Bai, who followed closely behind him, spread his hands and said.

These players are estimated to be new players in the open beta, and old players are well aware of the power of the Imperial City guards, and they generally do not easily move around the city; Only new players who are stunned will treat this place as a large dungeon, so the presence of guards will not be a priority.

Escaping the city was no longer the domain of the guards, so instead of chasing them out, the guards lingered at the gates for a while, waiting until the hatred was gone, and then turned around and prepared to continue patrolling.

Taking this opportunity, I hurriedly walked to the nearest guard and asked, "Brother guard, I would like to ask ......, who is the general of the Imperial City now?" ”

The guard first glanced at me, and then waved his hand: "You, you don't even know about the general?" ”

I hurriedly asked: "I am lonely and unheard of, and I want to see it for a long time when I first arrive, so I take the liberty to ask...... Today's imperial general is Jing Hongyi, General Jing!? ”

My politeness was not exchanged for the slightest kind words, and the guard glared at me and pointed at my nose and scolded: "Rude! How dare you tamper with the general's name and surname!? ”

The old white behind them didn't know what I was talking about, just looking at the attitude of the guards, they thought that I had provoked others, so they hurriedly stepped forward and pulled me behind: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Guard, you are busy with official business, we have added to the chaos, and we are so offended...... How offended! ”

Seeing that Lao Bai had a good attitude, the guard no longer continued to pursue anything, but gradually followed the team away.

After making sure it was safe, Lao Bai gritted his teeth and hammered me: "Are you crazy? Provoke the guards in the Imperial City? Are you afraid that a few of us won't die fast enough?? ”

I rubbed my shoulders and said innocently, "No! I'm just asking a question, and hell knows they're that big. ”

"So have you made any progress?" Xiao Wang asked.

"Not yet," I shook my head, but didn't compromise on that, "but I'd like to see if I can meet the City Lord, who knows the history of the Imperial City." ”

"Smack," Lao Bai coldly put his hand on my shoulder, and kept looking at me with a firm look: "Xiaoyu, in fact, I won't tell you, I have liked Diao Chan for a long time, and I want to find her too." ”

I frowned and pulled his arm away, "You didn't wake up, did you?" Not to mention that the sable cicadas thousands of years ago have turned to ashes, even if they are still alive now, it will not be your turn! ”

Instead of complaining, this guy maintained a complacent demeanor: "Then the distance between you and the Protoss City Lord is in your turn?" I know that I am daydreaming all day long, why do people care about you in such a high position!? Do you have a more upturned ass than others?? ”

Without waiting for me to say anything, the sea on the side explained: "Xiaoyu, what you think is too simple, not to mention the city lord, during the closed beta period, ordinary players don't even have the opportunity to contact the generals of the imperial city, which is like the open beta, and there are individual tasks that I have the honor to meet, anyway, I have been in the game for so long in the closed beta, and I have also come into contact with a medium-status imperial city minister, a general, an archmage, and even a higher city lord, I don't bother to think about this level." ”

After listening to the sea's explanation, I understood why Lao Bai would hit my self-confidence so mercilessly, and he was also afraid that I would be stunned by such a waste of time; After all, the dungeon is only 15 days old, and there are countless vast things waiting for us to explore, all of which are wasted on a clue with a very low probability, and it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end.

Having said that, it would be hard for me to see that there might be clues and not be able to fight for them; After all, this is probably my best chance to solve the mystery of the [Holy Lance Record], and after the dungeon time is over, there will basically be no time to be so close to the truth.

But in order not to worry them, I also verbally promised the sea that they would not continue to dwell on this matter, but when I followed them to other places to fight the boss and brush materials, I would still quietly study the story about Jing Hongyi on the [Holy Spear Record], thinking of finding some breakthroughs from there.

Because Jing Hongyi's trip to the Ethereal Valley has been a long time after his resignation, the [Holy Lance Record] records are all outstanding dragon spears, that is to say, if Jing Hongyi has not been to the Ethereal Valley, he will not have the opportunity to break through, let alone obtain the qualification to be recorded by the [Holy Lance Record].

The key point is not the Imperial City, but the Ethereal Valley.

So the most important thing I should do now is to find out about Ethereal Valley first.

"Have you ever heard of a place called [Ethereal Valley] during the closed beta?"

After defeating the fish and dragon boss in front of me, they happily went up to pick up the loot in the sea, and I asked with my current thoughts.

"Of course I've heard of it, but it's only mentioned in the backstory of many missions, and I haven't really been there in person." Lao Bai trembled and hugged a golden helmet and replied without raising his head.

But Lao Bai's answer surprised me a little, and I hurriedly asked, "The background story?" What's the story? ”

Seeing my anxious question, Lao Bai touched his head and pondered: "Oops...... You really stopped me, I don't remember exactly. ”

Your sister! Drop the chain at a critical time! Usually you are strong at remembering crooked gossip, and this kind of useful place is not useful at all.

Although Lao Bai had no clue, Xiao Wang had some doorways: "At that time, during the closed beta period, Brother Hai and I went to the junction of the human race and the beast race to do tasks, and at that time, some NPC conversations could mention some things about the Ethereal Valley, but they only said that they had heard about it, or that there were rumors, and there was no specific conviction. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it. After listening to Xiao Wang's words, Lao Bai suddenly had a memory: "It's all mentioned by some NPCs piecemeal, and there is no specific task or physical object, if I don't often see this name, I don't think I have this impression." ”

The mention of Xiao Wang and Lao Bai suddenly gave me a new idea, not long after the Ethereal Valley was discovered, the major imperial cities began to crusade, and at that time, Jing Hongyi had already resigned from the position of general.

In other words, the background period of the closed beta is the period where Jing Hongyi is located! And our current years are after his resignation!

I was caught off guard by the sudden smooth clues, so the situation is already the most optimistic!

Jing Hongyi is still alive!!

"Boatman!" I screamed out at the key figure, and suddenly I knew what I was going to do next.
