Ash.

It seems that it was a man named "Ash" who killed George.

Lin Chen carried out a "corpse search" operation on George, and soon after, he found a brown diary from George.

This is George's diary of adventures.

Lin Chen opened the adventure diary, and in the diary, George's adventures over the years were recorded.

As he turned to the next few pages, George suddenly recorded his adventures in more detail during this time.

"Hagdas approached me and said that someone had obtained a treasure map from a mysterious merchant, and might be able to find a treasure from the Scarlet King."

"I joined their adventure team and met everyone in advance, except for one adventurer named 'Gray', I know all the other members, and have more or less had adventures together."

"Ash is a strange man, like a silent ascetic, who speaks little. He always wrapped himself under a gray cloak, and I thought 'Ash' was just his nickname, but later I learned that 'Ash' may have been his nickname, but now it was his name—he had long forgotten his name. ”

"There have been doubts about Ash's strength, but Hagdas assures us that he has seen the other man shoot, and that Ash is stronger than all of us. I never doubted this, because I felt the aura of danger in Ash. ”

"However, Hagdas quickly revealed the truth that the real reason he let Ash join our team is that the treasure map is actually in Ash's hands."

"Perhaps, we will be cannon fodder?"

"I happened to see gray eyes, which were gray without a kind of life, and I suddenly understood the source of the uncomfortable breath I felt along the way."

"I told Hagdas about it, but Hagdath suddenly became angry with me, saying that I shouldn't be suspicious, that I shouldn't doubt my companions."

"I wanted to get out of here, and my instincts told me that something dangerous was going to happen next. But I ended up staying and following them, fearing for the safety of my friends. ”

"Actually, I'm not the only one who doubts Ash's identity and purpose."

"Miss Gina is a straightforward mage, she has never known how to hide her feelings, she can't stand the oppressive atmosphere of the team, and she decides to quit this adventure."

Ash didn't say anything, but Hagdas and Miss Gina had an unpleasant argument. Miss Gina left the group that day, along with the Assassin Edison. ”

"But the next day, we found the bodies of Miss Gina and Edison on the road ahead. They don't blink to death, and I, I, forever, will never forget the terrified expressions they froze forever at that time. ”

"Hagdas said that they died at the hands of monsters, and that we had better not have any more people and leave the team at will. Hell, what kind of monster can kill people without leaving scars? I don't remember any ghosts we encountered along the way. ”

"I suspect it's all gray hands, but I don't have any proof."

"No one talked about quitting anymore, but very quickly, there was another attrition in our team. The hunter seemed to have eaten his stomach and moved away from the group a little, and by the time we found him, he had turned into a dried corpse. ”

"Hagdath says we're being targeted by some terrible monster."

“……”

The adventure diary is abruptly interrupted here, but according to Lin Chen's guess, Ash is the murderer of George.

When Lin Chen got George's adventure diary, the system had already prompted that he had completed the main goal of the mission - to find George's token.

At this time, he can already take this diary and go back to Lena to submit the task.

However, just by completing the task to this extent, the difficulty of the task is far less than the A-level rating, and the task rewards that can theoretically be obtained will not be many.

Lin Chen decided to move forward and go one step further to investigate the cause of George's death.

As he prepared to leave, he stood up and felt his legs tingle a little, and accidentally kicked George's body, causing it to make a crisp "bang" sound.

This startled Lin Chen.

"Huh?"

Lin Chen suddenly noticed that George's long sword fell out of its scabbard, and on the blade of the sword, it was engraved with a secret pattern of magic.

Out of curiosity, Lin Chen picked up the long sword.

Subsequently, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not a mission prop similar to a "token", but a piece of gold equipment-

【George's Sword of Oath】(Quality: Gold)

Physical Attack: 301-445

Additional: Strength +34, Agility +30

Special - Swordsman Mastery I - Increases skill damage efficiency by 5% (only valid for swordsman professions)

Equipment level: 32

Description: "I am the man who wants to be a legendary adventurer." —George, the Dead Adventurer

Lin Chen was happy, not long ago, he was worried about the lack of level 30 attack equipment in his hand, and at this moment, he was so sleepy that he sent a pillow.

This Sword of Oath can greatly improve his attack attributes, and perhaps the only regret is that replacing the Sword of Dawn will make him lose his ability to endur.

However, the swordsman specializes in stunts and is not bad either.

Lin Chen equipped the Sword of Oath, and the next moment, his attack attribute finally surpassed the defensive attribute again, and he had a basic attack power of nearly 1,000 points.

Show on the panel –

Physical Attack: 966-1110

It's not bad, counting the efficiency of the skill, Lin Chen's damage ability can already be compared to Xiao Hei.

But it also reminded Lin Chen that Xiao Hei is not invincible, as the player's level increases and the equipment is formed, Xiao Hei's attribute advantages will become smaller and smaller.

At that time, even if the attributes are still not as good as Xiao Hei, it will be able to cause some effective damage to Xiao Hei, unlike not long ago, when many players couldn't break Xiao Hei's defense.

In this way, Xiao Hei can deal with one or two players with his agile actions, but if he wants to deal with multiple players, he can only run away.

Not to mention that for a while, there should be many players who also have pets, so that Xiao Hei no longer has many advantages.

Lin Chen can't always rely on Xiao Hei's majesty, only the strength of his own strength is really strong.

Thinking of this, it deepened Lin Chen's desire to level up.

Only by being ahead of other players can he get more benefits than other players, and he has been too far behind in the level because he has received the Starlight Inheritance.

Lin Chen looked at George's armor, which seemed to be good, so he tried to rip off George's clothes, but unfortunately he didn't succeed and got a warning from the system.

It seems that only this sword of oath is the most special.

Lin Chen continued to move forward.

Soon, Lin Chen stepped into the third and final layer of the blood-colored cave.

Not long after, he found the corpses of the other NPCs, and although he failed to pick up the equipment, he did find a few bottles of potion.

As he advanced, there were fewer and fewer monsters brushing out of here, and Lin Chen felt that there were likely to be special NPCs in front of him, and there was a plot to trigger.

Lin Chen clinged to the rock wall at the entrance of the cave and heard the sound coming from the cave.

"You're a surprise to me......"
