Volume IV: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 2: Enabling the Thassarians
But the strong psychological quality still made Yu Bin quickly calm down. Although it has become a fact that these secrets were discovered by Andrew, judging from all indications, it is obvious that the other party has not made any harmful moves to him, of course, it is possible that Andrew has done some means, but there is no impact yet.
Naxxramas is a reward for an epic crusade, or is it recognized by the will of death and belongs to Yu Bin's territory, so Yu Bin is not very worried about Naxxramas yet. Even if the Council of the Undead represented by Andrew wants to plot this territory, it is impossible not to do it directly without face, the undead are not demons, although they belong to the chaotic camp, but at least the minimum rules of the game are maintained inside. If the other party really does this, I'm afraid it is not Yu Bin who is most worried, but those undead nobles of all sizes scattered throughout the undead territory!
The matter of secretly sabotaging the Dia Empire's plot against the Ferta Empire should not have been revealed by Andrew, otherwise the Albrecht Emperor would not have reacted at all. And judging from the experience of his previous life, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Council of the Dead represented by Andrew and the royal families of the three undead empires, and it is hard to believe that this speaker would give Yu Bin to Emperor Albrecht for this kind of thing. On the contrary, maybe Andrew will secretly feel that Yu Bin has done a good job and made that invincible dragon lich suffer a loss!
The only thing that Yu Bin needs to worry about is the Book of your, this ancient book can only be used to summon the shadow werewolves of the shadow plane in Arugao's hands, that is because Arugao's strength is too low, compared to Kel'thugad and Andrew Yasen, Arugal as an archmage is as immature as a primary school student. Yu Bin has no doubt that this ancient book will exert great power in the hands of Andrew Yasen!
Faced with this situation, Yu Bin now has only two options, either obediently hand over the Book of your, or bite the bullet and not let go, to see if Andrew Yasin will give up because of Kel'thugad's relationship. The former will lead to the complete failure of the task given to Yu Bin by Kel'thugad, while the latter is completely gambling on character, and it is not Yu Bin's own character that is gambling on it, but Andrew's character!
Others say that they are indecisive and reckless, and some people choose to shrink their heads when they are indecisive, but for Bin, he is more accustomed to preparing for the worst at the first time when he encounters something, and then when he is undecided, he can have more choices, instead of choosing between recklessness and cowardice!
But sometimes, the strong gap in strength will make Yu Bin have nothing to do at all, such as now!
The battle between heaven and man in his heart did not last long, Yu Bin quickly made the most suitable choice, for him, nothing is more important than his own life, compared to being hated by Andrew, the loss of the Book of your is at least a reasonable price in front of him.
However, before Bin could make a statement, Andrew turned the conversation directly to the other side as if he didn't know anything: "You're a funny little guy, and much more sensible than those fools who only know how to shout about the bounty of death all day long, I think you're a very good fit." I have a task for you, and since you can complete that crusade against the Hero's Graveyard, I don't think this small task will be too much for you! ”
The sudden change in atmosphere caught Yu Bin a little off guard, but since the other party didn't mention the Book of Your, Yu Bin was not stupid enough to send it to the door himself, so he immediately followed Andrew's words and said, "It's an honor to serve you!" Although my strength is low, I will do everything I can to bring you good news. ”
Andrew was pleased with Bin's answer: "Very good! That's your mission, you have a month to complete him, and hopefully hear your good news sooner rather than later, little one! Of course, I, like Kel'thugad, am happy to pay any friend who is willing to serve me! ”
A roll of parchment glowing with magic was placed on Andrew's table, apparently containing the specific requirements and information of the mission, Yu Bin was no stranger to this, many aborigines would do this for the sake of secrecy, after all, it is easy to produce distortion in the transmission of information just by relying on dictation, and the magically processed parchment can also record more information for people to read.
Yu Bin quickly skimmed through the above contents, and then left the library under the pretext that he needed to make some preparations and set off as soon as possible.
Seeing Yu Bin disappear from sight, Andrew showed a satisfied smile, obviously standing at the door of the library, but the undead who came in and out ignored his existence as if they didn't see it, and just subconsciously avoided Andrew's location and continued to move forward, as if a small space centered on Andrew was enclosed. This is obviously a very clever means to directly affect the perception of others, which shows the great strength of this Speaker of the Undead Council.
A magical projection suddenly appeared in front of Andrew, and the head of Navik Frost appeared in the center of the picture, and the soul fire in the eye socket burned silently.
"No wonder your Royal Highness the prince thinks so highly of this little fellow, it turns out that you already knew that he got Sandru's relics!" Andrew met Navik's gaze without fear, "Aren't you worried that I'll take that soul bead back?" I'm the only descendant of Sandru Yasan! ”
When Andrew observed Yu Bin, he had already discovered the soul suppression bead hidden by Yu Bin in the space bag, and the huge gap in strength made Yu Bin have no secrets at all in front of Andrew.
"But you didn't, did you? And I don't think it's going to do you any good! ”
"What the hell are you and Kel'thugad up to? A book of your isn't worth all the fuss, is it? You wrote that thing, and if you want to, it's not hard to make another one! ”
"Why, do you want to intervene too?" Navik is still the same for 10,000 years, "We're welcome!" The more participants, the better the game! ”
Andrew pouted: "Excuse me!" I'm not as easy as you are! ”
"It seems that Albrecht's little guy has put a lot of pressure on you, hehe, if you want me to help, it's not impossible!"
"I'm not down to this point yet! He couldn't do it 10,000 years ago, and it's the same today, 10,000 years later! Andrew's face turned cold, and it was clear that Navik's words touched on his sore spot, "The only thing I want to know is, why didn't you come forward in person?" If I'm not mistaken, the elven prince Lacorette buried in the Casaman Forest is the vessel your master chose to come upon in the first place. If it weren't for those long-eared people who found out the inside story, I'm afraid your master's long-awaited wish would have been fulfilled long ago! Instead of being killed by those long-eared expeditions, and even sealing that corpse in the Whispering Forest until now! ”
Andrew's counterattack made Navik speechless for a while, as he said, it was the best chance to fulfill his master's wish, but in the end, it fell short, not only lost one of the best containers, but even lost some of his master's soul fragments, which are still suppressed in the whispering forest. If it weren't for the lack of soul, his Royal Highness the prince would not have been able to hide in the cold ice for tens of thousands of years to come, using the frost power of the entire Northrend to delay the collapse of the soul.
"You're underestimating that little guy, he's smarter than you think!" Navik was silent for a moment and said, "He's probably spotted some clues by now. If it weren't for the fact that the end was approaching, His Highness would not have been able to hint at him in such a hurry to break the seal on that magic sword. Now, if I were to intervene in person, I am afraid that he would immediately perceive the danger, and eventually the whole plan would be ruined! ”
Andrew was obviously surprised by how much attention he paid to Bin, and he knew very well how much power this lich and the master behind him had: "That's why you asked me to take that thing as a reward?" The Death Streak Set is a sub-artifact specially made by your master for Lacorette, and its predecessor is the cursed armor that my ancestor Sandru relied on to subdue the Elven Empire and successfully establish Dia, do you and your master want to use the relics in his hands to recreate this artifact forged from the ribs of the Creator God in the Source of Death? Aren't you afraid to attract the attention of those old gods? ”
"Times are different, Andrew! The arrival of the end day has left the old gods with no energy to pay attention to these minor troubles! "Navik has nothing to fear," What's more, those false gods will not only not stop us for their own interests, but I am afraid they will also add fuel to the fire!" ”
"I see! Have you even been convinced of the false gods? No wonder you dare to do this! ”
"No one wants to be a victim, Andrew! Just like your ancestors did, we're just fighting for a chance to survive! ”
Andrew's face finally had a heavy expression, which meant that he no longer regarded this matter as a joke, but seriously thought about the benefits and losses in it: "Okay, I'll think about it!" ”
"I'm glad you can say that, as I said before, the door is always open to you!"
"I'll get back to you as soon as possible!"
The magic projection gradually dissolved, leaving only a dim curtain of magical light, which was finally broken by Andrew with a wave of his hand.
"The end day? It seems that the remnants of the Kingdom of Lothric are still echoing in this world, and I don't know if there is still the ghost of Javier floating here! Alas, eventful! Judging by this, I'm afraid Arnoll Lund is not completely silent, and I don't know which guy will become the gravedigger of this ancient kingdom! ”
On the other side, the frightened Yu Bin didn't even dare to stay in the Diar King City, and returned to the Angfei Fortress non-stop and walked into the gate of the Undead Warrior Association.
Previously, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the undead knight Sassarian, Yu Bin arranged for him to receive the other party's teachings from Sinoer. Since Yu Bin was not yet strong enough to control Thassarian, he was reluctant to use the Undead Knight to defend Naxxramas, even though Thassarian had already pledged his allegiance to Yu Bin.
But Andrew's appearance made Yu Bin feel a strong sense of crisis, and once his identity as the lord of Naxxramas was exposed, it would bring very serious consequences. In the face of this dangerous situation, the risks posed by the activation of Thassarian are no longer worth mentioning.
Fortunately, with the help of Garol Gold Coins, Yu Bin asked people to find Thassarian's relatives after the auction, and Raphael was also trying to find a way, and it was an attempt to take that group of players to Andorjar City to assist the Duchy of Giraldine in eliminating the undead. Although he has not yet found his target, at least some information has been obtained, which can ensure that Thassarian will protect Naxxramas for him while he leaves.
"My people have found your loved ones, but sadly, most of them died in that catastrophe. The only one who left Andoral alive was your sister Teresa, but we haven't found her yet. ”
After Sinor's training, the soul fire in Sassarian's body was already able to mobilize the power of death very well, which made him look more like an undead: "Really? Are you telling the truth? ”
"Yes, shortly after your death in battle, the city of Galvez, which is closest to the city of Andorjar, sent the city guard to try to eliminate the undead, and encountered the fleeing people on the way, and the commander Baron Rodri had a part of the soldiers escort these refugees to the city of Galvez." These are all pieces of information that were sent to Yu Bin by Garol's hand not long ago, and some of them were inquired by Raphael, "But Baron Rodri later died in the city of Andohal because of the light enemy, which made those refugees have no one to settle down after arriving in Galvez, and they were scattered in the vast sea of people in a few days because of their vitality, and it takes more time to find them!" ”
From the time Yu Bin said the name Teresa, Sasarian already knew that the other party was not lying to himself. Although he was worried about Teresa's situation, Thassarian knew that he could not find her now, and that the Duchy of Giraldin, which had just been attacked by the undead, could not allow an undead knight to enter the country to find his relatives, even if Thassarian had paid with his life to resist the undead. The only thing he can rely on is Yu Bin!
Kneeling on one knee, Thassarian once again pledged his allegiance to Yu Bin in a trembling voice.
"I'll arrange for someone to continue looking for him, and as long as Teresa is alive, I'm sure I'll be able to find him! I've been in a bit of trouble lately, though. As you can see, this is my territory, and I hope you will help me protect it when I leave. Can I trust you, Thassarian? ”
"No one can enter your territory without permission, my lord! Unless he steps on my corpse! ”
