Once you've mastered the art of dodging, it's surprisingly easy to kill the Dark Knight. As long as you dodge the immobilization skill, relying on Qing Chi's speed and critical strike chance is not a big trouble at all. Qing Chi put the title of "One Hundred People One Kill" on the top of his head, and the critical strike rate of the equipment on his body was already very amazing, and soon, the Dark Knight fell to the ground one by one, and the statue passage was also cleaned up.

Qing Chi had already accumulated more than a dozen gold badges and more than twenty silver badges in her backpack, which was enough for her prestige in a certain city to quickly rush to friendliness. This kind of emblem is hard to come by, and Qing Chi is very glad that he killed these statues, otherwise it would be a headache to do the city's prestige task in the future.

In the empty and silent fortress of "Hehe......", the child's voice sounded again, crying for a while, laughing for a while, making people's scalp very numb. I have to say that the horror dungeon in "Destiny" is very realistic, and the atmosphere is also haunting and very immersive. The nameless fortress underwater, the demonic statues, the voices of children, the eerie reliefs covered in nicks, the next moment it seems as if something will rush out and wrap around your feet.

"Hey, we'...... How long are you going to stay here? As soon as Bai Qing faced bitterly, he didn't dare to breathe, and grabbed the corner of Qing Chi's clothes tightly, feeling that his palms were already oozing with beads of sweat.

Qing Chi glanced at the system prompt. The Fortress of the River Bend has reached 30% exploration. Maybe it's because I cleaned up those statue monsters that I made the exploration level very high. Turning through this corridor, several gray rooms come into view. Pushing open the heavy stone door covered with dust, Qing Chi and Yi Ran Bai Qing looked at each room one by one.

The floor was covered with dust and smelled of dampness, and there was a tall bookshelf in the room, and many worn books had fallen to the floor. On the wall hangs a portrait of a man with sea-blue eyes, gentle lips, and a smile on his wife. And the wife was also curly and shawl, and her expression was serene. The strangest thing in this is a little boy, who looks like the son of the couple, but his face is gloomy in the painting, showing a very strange smile, and looking at his mother with a sneer.

Qing Chi looked away, and an inexplicable picture suddenly appeared in his mind. This scene seems to have been seen somewhere...... On the wooden table, which was close to decay, sat a silver eagle's head statue. The carpet on the floor is also painted with vague patterns.

Pushing open another room, the scene is shocking. Ichizo Bai Qing was so frightened that she almost fell. There were two coffins, one large and one small, lifeless in the room, and the carpet seemed to be soaked in bloodstained black and red, and the scene was extremely bloody. The oil pot on the wall was suddenly blown bright and dark by a gust of wind from somewhere.

Qing Chi stepped into the room, and a child's sneer suddenly sounded again.

"Come out of here, don't pretend to be a ghost!" Looking at the small coffin in the room with a cold face, Qing Chi took a hard breath and slammed open the coffin board. In the coffin lay the corpse of the richly dressed but strange-looking child in the painting, his dress was already stained with blood, and a dagger was stuck in his chest. At the moment when Qing Chi opened the coffin, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an oozing smile appeared on his pale face.

"Ahhhhh Yiran Bai Qing held her head and covered her ears and hid behind Qing Chi, she was most afraid of these things. I also saw the corpse open its eyes, in this flickering underwater secret room, it was terrifying to think about.

"You're Della Della?" Qing Chi looked at the child who opened his eyes calmly and asked.

"Hey...... You're not even intimidated. For many years, you were the first adventurer I met here. Hey, you're so daring. Della rolled over and crawled out of the coffin.

His face was pale, covered in blood, and he still had a dagger in his chest, but he looked at Qing Chi with a smile on his face, "Huntress, how do you know that I Daira?" ”

Qing Chi pointed to another room. "That painting has a portrait of your family, a striking silver eagle head, which seems to be unique to Gleneagles. Then I remembered a story described in the Great Library, Lord Char, the lord of Eagle Valley Castle, who was known as the beautiful man of the sea blue eyes and Eagle Valley. He was also quite miserable, and it is said that his wife went mad and killed her own son with her own hands. Later, Lady Vivian was convicted of murder by the archbishop, stripped of her title, and expelled from Eagle Valley City. It is estimated that this story is too bizarre to be written into the miscellaneous notes. ”

"That's right, I'm Charl Deira. Now that you're here, can you help me get back to my hometown? I will give you the pay you deserve. Della blinked at Qing Chi with big eyes, looking flattering, but unfortunately his appearance was really scary.

Qing Chi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then, what am I going to do?" ”

Della shook her head, "It's very simple, you can come here, it means that you have some skills, too." As long as you can kill the woman in the upstairs room and use this key to open the seal on the top floor, you can take me back. You're the first adventurer to come here in all these years, and if you can get me out, you'll be able to pick whatever you want in the palace. Of course, my father will definitely pay you well. ”

A task appears on the system: Do you accept Dela's commission? Qing Chi confirmed it and took over the old key. "That woman, not my mother, is the embodiment of the devil who imprisoned me here and kept me at rest. If you can get rid of her for me, Deira will be grateful. ”

With that, Deira climbed into the coffin, closed her eyes, and became a corpse, motionless.

"Then, Qingchi, let's hurry up and kill that woman, and leave as soon as we finish this task! I'm going to have a split nerve if I stay any longer. Ichizo Bai Qing muttered.

Qing Chi frowned, she couldn't tell what was wrong, but she always felt uncomfortable.

The two men crept up to the upstairs room. The mournful singing of a woman came from the room with the door slightly closed. In the brightly lit room, through the crack in the door, a woman with long curly hair could be seen sitting at a dresser with her back to Qing Chi, combing her hair. Her back is slender, and she can see that she is a beauty.

When he turned his face, he was shocked. The beauty turned around, but her face was sunken, wrinkled with old age spots, and the ribs on her chest were clearly visible, and her face was very ugly. Thinking about this history, decades have passed, and the young Lady Vivian has also changed from a great beauty to a dry bone close to death.

There is also a little difference in this room, which makes Qing Chi very concerned. Although Lady Vivian had become a rickety old man, she had furnished the room very warmly. The rudimentary printed carpet was cleaned, and a dozen candles were lit in the room. And on the walls of this room, large reliefs are carved.

This relief is very familiar to Qing Chi - it is the statue of Goddess Beth! Underneath the statue of Goddess Beth, there is a faint keyhole, presumably the key that Della gave herself to unlock the seal.

The door was suddenly opened—and the face of a boneless beauty suddenly enlarged in front of Qing Chi. Inside the deep sockets of the eyes, a pair of godless and cloudy eyes rolled inside, Lady Vivian bowed, the skeleton on her body creaked, and looked down at Qing Chi and Yi Yan Qing, who were secretly observing the cat at the door, and the corners of her mouth sneered.

As soon as she was dyed white, she raised the staff in her hand, and a fire explosion technique was about to hit the skeleton beauty's body.

"Wait!" Qing Chi hurriedly pressed her hand, but the doubts in her heart gradually became clear.

Qing Chi pulled Yizhan Bai Qing to stand up, while vigilantly staring at the skeleton beauty with only one skin left, he stepped back, and then asked tentatively, "Are you Lady Vivian?" ”

The skull beauty gave a look of surprise, and her skull creaked, "Who are you?" ”

"We're just adventurers who inadvertently broke into here. Sorry to bother you. Qing Chi bent down and saluted her, "I saw your portrait in the library in my early years, and it was really unforgettable. Lord Charles and Lady Vivian of Eagle Valley are an enviable couple. ”

The skull beauty rolled her eyes, and there was a hint of clarity in her old eyes, "It's been a long time. It's unforgettable......"

Qing Chi let Ichizo Bai Qing take a few steps back, and then said tentatively, "Although I am just an adventurer, I have also heard of the beauty of Eagle Valley City. Whenever the morning sun shines on the cliffs, the busy city of Eagle Valley begins to welcome the first eagle roar. The herring and eagles there are unforgettable. Some of the old lords of Char would stand and patrol the city at that time, as if they were thinking about something......"

Sure enough, as Qing Chi spoke, a look of nostalgia and sadness began to appear on Lady Vivian's face.

Qing Chi's heart was pounding. She didn't know the past history of Eagle Valley City, and she didn't know if Lord Char was still alive. This paragraph is all made up by her. Eagle Valley City is a small city located on a cliff, located in the extreme north of the Fertile Continent, somewhat remote, and it is not very convenient to teleport, except for special missions, the average player is rarely active in that city. It's just that in the previous life, I was extremely curious about the appearance of the city lord of Char, and I went to take a look, but unfortunately the city lord's mansion was not allowed to enter, so I had to go to the library to check the information.

Although it is made up, the treachery in the character characteristics and Qing Chi's actions make Lady Vivian seem very sincere, and she even burst into tears. The reason why Qing Chi made up this paragraph to set the words was because he had an idea and had a bold idea in his heart.

The first is the change in the system prompt, from exploring the riverbend fortress to exploring the truth about the fortress. It is believed that this is certainly not a simple typographical error. There is only one such change, and that is to indicate that the mission is up to the player. Choices lead to different results and different levels of completion.

If listening to Deira's side of the story kills Vivian, then it is likely to cover up the truth. When Qing Chi saw the statue of Beth in the house and the somewhat worn pendant amulet around Lady Vivian's neck, she knew that if it was a demonized Vian, it would be impossible for her to touch these things with a bright aura peacefully.

Unless there's a big hidden element in it. And to find out these truths, we can complete the exploration of the riverbend fortress.
