South of Julu City, a vast barren plain is full of rocks, just on the plain, a rugged path leads straight to the heights, when I rode my horse to the path, I checked it, there are traces of horses' hooves on the ground, and it is different from the player's, the hoof prints are very deep, belonging to the kind of heavy knights, and the player currently does not have mount armor, and the equipment is average, even if it is a purple gold weapon, it is not so heavy, and the hoof prints are dense, so it must be the cavalry of the NPC passing by.

And on this plain, the one who can have cavalry is naturally a lord-level NPC, and Andronie's father, the owner of the legendary Furnace Castle, should be a lord.

So, I galloped along the trail to look for clues.

Five minutes later, it turned out that I had guessed correctly, and on the horizon of the plain, there was a castle made of stone, not very large, but the flag was flying, and there were some scattered young knights outside who were training their riding skills and charging and assassination, and the castle was surrounded by farmland, and there were many farmers farming, typical of castles, lords, knights, and farmers.

The ghost horse galloped as fast as he could, and in the blink of an eye, two guards pointed their spears straight at me, and one of them whispered, "Who dares to trespass on the Fort of the Furnace?" ”

"I'm a knight of Julu City, and I want to see my lord." I say.

"The Grand Knight of the Royal City?"

The guard showed a faint look of awe, but he still didn't let go, and said, "Lord Knight, the lord is old and no longer willing to meet guests, and now the Fire Furnace Castle is headed by the great knight Lord Wuchuan. ”

I frowned: "I brought news from the lord's daughter, Andronie. ”

"What?"

Another guard was shocked: "Miss Androni has been missing for eleven years, and she ...... Does she have news? ”

"Yes, I want to see the lord."

"Okay, please come with me."

……

Entering the castle, on the stone tower, a middle-aged knight wearing elite armor looked at me from afar, his eyes were full of gloom, and the name on the top of his head was the great knight Wu Chuan, an elite-level NPC, although he looked at me straightly, but he did not stop me, and let the two guards lead me into the depths of the castle.

The lord's room was extravagant, but it was full of death.

"Squeak", the musty breath came to the nostrils, and in the room, the old lord was lying on the bed, his face was covered with age spots, his hair was gray, and he seemed to be unable to move, but he just looked at me with wide eyes, and said: "Young knight, I heard that you brought news of Androni, show me, what did you bring?" ”

I immediately took out the necklace, and the light flowed on it.

Suddenly, the old lord's withered eyes seemed to have been reborn, and he sat up from the bed at once, and said, "Andronie's necklace...... That's right, it's her necklace...... Knight, where did you get this necklace from? ”

"Crystal Forest."

I said in a deep voice, "I found it on the body of a demonized crystal crab." ”

"What?"

The old lord's eyes were full of surprise: "Back then, my knights escorted Androni to marry a young knight from the south, why...... Her relics can be found in the Crystal Forest in the north. ”

On the side, the old servant's face was full of wrinkles, and he said in a low voice: "Master, back then, you married your daughter to the knights of the south just so that your son-in-law would return to the Fort of Fire Furnace to inherit your inheritance, but almost all the knights who escorted him had died in battle, and only the Grand Knight of Wuchuan returned to the castle alone......"

At this point, he was silent.

"You...... You go on......" said the old lord, "I command you, keep talking!" ”

"Yes!"

The old servant said in a deep voice: "After Wu Chuan returned to the castle, the other two big knights of the Furnace Castle had accidents one after another and all died, and the training and selection of the new knights in the Furnace Castle were all taken care of by Wu Chuan alone, don't you think it's strange to the master?" Why did everyone else have an accident, but Wuchuan alone survived every time? ”

"You mean?"

The old lord was stunned: "Wu Chuan has already betrayed me?" ”

"I'm afraid so."

The old servant said in a deep voice: "Now in the Furnace Castle, only Wu Chuan is qualified to inherit your inheritance, and he is the biggest beneficiary. ”

"No, no......"

The old lord shook his head again and again, his eyes full of disbelief, and said, "Wu Chuan once swore allegiance to me in front of the God of Light, and he swore in front of the statue of the Dragon Whisperer and the Xia Emperor of the Xia Clan that he would never betray me...... No, it won't. ”

At that moment, a ray of light burst out from the necklace and converged into Androni's form.

In an instant, the old lord's eyes became cloudy, and the old tears were all over the place, and he struggled to get up from the bed, and fell to the ground when he turned over, but he still reached out and wanted to touch Androni's body, but it was just a soul, he couldn't hold it, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said: "Androni, my daughter, I finally see you again." ”

Anne Roni's figure slowly fell, she half-knelt in front of the old lord, her eyes glistened with tears, and said, "I...... Lonely drifting in the Crystal Forest for many years, even almost forgetting everything, I ...... What I wanted to do most in my nightmare was to be able to see my father again, and now, I finally got my wish, father, my daughter should not have left you in the first place. ”

"That'...... Wuchuan who killed that day, is it him? There was murder in the old lord's eyes.

"Yes."

Androni's figure was a little weak, and said: "Father, Wu Chuan pierced my heart with a sword, and sacrificed my body as food to the demonized crystal crab, and now ...... His daughter's bones are still in the Crystal Forest, and if the father thinks of his daughter's goodness, send his knights to the north and bring his daughter's bones back to his hometown for burial. ”

"Okay, I'll let someone do it."

"Father, be careful...... Andronie turned into a ray of light and dipped into the necklace.

"Young Knight......

The old lord's eyes were misty with tears in his eyes, and he said, "This necklace is a relic of Andronie, can you give it back to me?" ”

"It should."

I presented the necklace and asked, "My lord, what else can I do to help you?" ”

"Yes."

The old lord had murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "Wuchuan has committed the crime of betrayal, but there are no big knights in the castle who can compete with him now, and even some young knights are Wuchuan's people, so I can only rely on you, young knight, I want you to go to the north, take Wuchuan and others, expose Wuchuan's betrayal in person, cut off his head, and dedicate it to me." ”

The content of the quest jumps a bit, and there is new progress.

I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to get you revenge!" ”

"Good!"

The old lord looked at the old butler and said, "Give my order, in the name of delivering the letter, select some knights who are loyal to me, take Wu Chuan and this young knight to the Crystal Forest together, fulfill Andronie's long-cherished wish, and return to the castle with her bones for burial." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The old lord returned the necklace to me again, but this time it was borrowed, and it still had to be returned.

……

In the castle, the old butler selected more than a dozen knights, plus me and Wu Chuan, and the letter was naturally given to me, but it was just a blank piece of stationery.

The group set off from the castle and crossed the giant deer city, although the cavalry was fast, it still took nearly an hour to reach the crystal forest, if they could complete the task as quickly as possible, it would be beyond my expectations.

"Drop!"

A message came from Su Xiran: "Team Ding, eat~~"

"Save some food for me, I'll eat it when I'm done with my mission."

"Okay."

The autumn wind swept through the jungle, and there was a rustling sound in the crystal forest, just near the refresh point of the demonized crystal crab, it seemed that Wu Chuan had sensed that something was wrong, frowned, and already held the spear in his palm, and said: "Butler, who is there here, is the lord old and dizzy, let us come here to deliver important letterheads?" ”

"Naturally, there are people."

The old butler sneered: "Originally, wasn't Miss Androni, the only legitimate heir of Fort Furnace, pierced her heart with a sword by a knight who betrayed her loyalty?" ”

"What did you say?"

Wu Chuan shouted violently: "Old thing, don't spray people with blood!" ”

"Have you pleaded guilty to the crime?" The old butler said lightly.

"How dare you make something out of nothing, you brazen old horseman!" Wu Chuan stabbed the spear and scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu will pierce you with one shot, and take your head back and hand it over to the lord!" ”

"Keng~~~"

I hurriedly took out my sword, and the purple electric green frost sword blasted away Wu Chuan's riding spear, shaking his arm slightly numb, and Wu Chuan was also shocked, obviously I am not inferior in strength, and even surpass some.

At this time, a ray of light flew up from the necklace and turned into Androni's appearance, and her voice was cold: "Wu Chuan, you traitor, have you forgotten the heinous crimes you committed many years ago?" ”

"You...... Hell! ”

Wu Chuan looked dazed, looked like a ghost, and said, "Impossible...... No way...... Your ghost is long gone......"

As he spoke, the riding spear in his hand trembled, and he began to inject fighting energy, and his face was full of hideousness, and he said, "Then...... Let Lao Tzu kill you again with the holy light! ”

Finally, I turned my face.

In an instant, the names of Wu Chuan and the three knights behind him turned blood red and began!

I stabbed it directly with my sword, and attacked before Wu Chuan made a move, and after a provocation, it was to break the barrier and hit seven consecutive blows, and at the same time summoned the fairy sword Qingling, under the baptism of messy and dense sword qi, Wu Chuan's blood bar fell to half in almost an instant, and it was just an elite-level NPC.

"Nosy!"

The other three knights came together with their swords in order.

I raised my shield, opened my fighting spirit, and cut them as I like, and then kill Wuchuan first!

……

Three downs, five to two, directly beheaded the betrayed knight Wu Chuan, and the rest of the three ordinary knights are not a problem, Qing Ling can be singled out, after cutting off three heads in a row, the beautiful girl flew into the sword body and flew back to me, as if the sword was returned to the sheath, and the old butler was already dumbfounded: "Young knight, you are so brave......
