Chapter 238: Karinshan's Request
In the darkness, Princess Karinsan's ghost opened a pair of dark eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes, incomprehensible, but full of sorrow.
Looking at our group, Princess Karinshan raised her face and said faintly, "Young infantryman, are you a brave man from Ice Floe City?" ”
I stepped forward, looked at her head-on, and nodded, "Hmm! ”
Karinshan whimpered and asked, "How's Ice Floes?" This...... What is the almanac now? Has the Tianzhong Continent been reborn? ”
I shuddered, and poor Karinshan didn't seem to know anything.
He Yi stepped forward, stood beside me, and said clearly: "It is now the year 8125 of the Heavenly Vertical Calendar, and the continent is currently being fought by the Night Spirit camp and the Silver Moon Alliance, and the war has never ended. ”
"Oh......"
Karinshan let out a long sigh, she raised her hand, looked at her palm, and whispered almost sobbing: "I have been sealed here for a thousand years, my hometown, what the hell is going on......"
I asked, "Princess, what the hell is going on?" The inscription on the tombstone says, "You killed yourself under the ice floes, why did your soul appear here?" ”
"Self-slaughter? Hehe......"
Karinshan smiled, but couldn't help but whimper and cry: "I won't kill myself, I still want to protect my people, I want to protect my hometown, everything is just a conspiracy, the necromancer Cadila used the Death Forbidden Spell to separate my body from my soul, my soul was sealed here, but my body was stored in the cellar of the palace hall in Ice Floe City!" ”
"What?!"
I can't help but be surprised, there is such a shocking conspiracy in this mission? One of the commanders of the Silver Moon Alliance, a princess so wise and resolute, was actually separated by a necromancer with a forbidden spell?
Princess Karinshan wept for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Young warrior, do you know who the current king of Ice Floe is?" ”
I groaned, "It's like...... It seems to be ...... Cardin III."
Last time, I saw on the forum that someone had accepted a mission from this old king, but I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, and as a neutral race of undead, I didn't have the courage to go to the palace hall, and if there were a few Holy Magisters around the king, I would definitely die.
When I said the name, Karinshan shuddered and her eyes were full of shock: "What...... What the?! Father, the king, he...... He has survived for a thousand years? This...... How is this possible? ”
As she spoke, Karinsan's illusory eyes were full of crystal luster, tears welled up in her eyes, she knelt beside the coffin, wiped her tears, and said, "My father is dead, and that Karding III in Ice Floe City must be the necromancer Cadila who has invaded his father's body!" ”
"Khooth!"
I pulled out my Purgatory Sword and said in a deep voice, "Karinsan, give orders, what do you want us to do?" ”
Princess Karinsan held her sword, gritted her teeth, the look in her eyes became firm, she looked at a group of us, and said: "For hundreds of years, no adventurer has dared to come here, you are my hope, but also the hope of Ice Floe, you must kill Cadila, regain the power of Ice Floe, and save Ice Floe City from the haze!" ”
I nodded and expressed my worries: "Princess, you have been separated from your body and soul by the forbidden spell of the necromancer, so, can you still be resurrected?" ”
Karinshan wiped her tears, nodded and said: "Yes, my power is still there, as long as the soul can be reattached to the body, then it will be resurrected, in fact, after being sealed for so many years, my time has been stuck in a thousand years ago, but I didn't expect that after so many years, Ice Floating City is still in the hands of the undead!" ”
As she spoke, Karinsan looked at us with a firm gaze and said, "My hope, the hope of Ice Floe City is in you, and next, you are about to complete a very dangerous mission!" ”
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Do you accept the follow-up quest [Karinsan's Request]? (Current mission level: S Rank Lower)
……
Damn, it's already an S-class mission? In this way, this quest is already an epic quest for the main story!
Coincidentally, several people in the team chose to confirm together, and after a pleasant ringing, a main quest has arrived.
"Ding~!"
System Prompt: You have accepted the quest [Karinsan's Request]! (Current mission level: S Rank Lower)
Quest content: Karinsan thinks that Karin III is dead, you must go to the palace to find Karding III and kill him, and, before that, you need to find Princess Karinsan's sword, the King's Blade, with this sword to kill Karding III can also kill the necromancer Cadila attached to Karding III's body, but you must be careful, Karding III has a strong ability to control undead magic, under his wand, countless warriors turned into unjust spirits, and the king's blade was buried under the red maple tree in the backyard of the palace.
……
He Yi looked at the content of the task, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "This task is actually quite difficult......
"yes!"
I nodded and sighed, "We have to sneak into the palace first, dig out the King's Blade, and then go to kill Karding III, and then find Princess Karinsan's body and bring it back here, and resurrect Karinsan, so that we can truly complete the mission." ”
Murong Mingyue raised his staff: "Without further ado, act immediately!" ”
"Good!"
To save time, everyone used the Returning City Scroll together, and returned to the Ice Floe City in a few rays of light, and then aimed directly at the palace.
Running all the way, far away, the solemn palace hall stands in the center of the city, on the square in front of the palace, the elite cavalry is practicing equestrianism and stabbing, the low roar seems to shake everyone's heart, no one thought that this seemingly calm ice floe city, but it has been inserted like a stinger on the edge of the entire light camp empire, once Cardin III launched a mutiny, maybe the nearby main city Sky City will become the first victim.
Necromancer, a super terrifying existence, these mages with fallen souls can annihilate everything in pursuit of endless power, and once the right time comes, the iron cavalry of Ice Floating City will point directly at Sky City, and a civil war between humans will probably go on endlessly.
……
"Rustling ......"
Stepping on the fallen leaves on the street, I took He Yi and a few other mm all the way, looking at the heavily guarded palace in the distance, He Yi was a little worried, pouted and said: "What to do, we don't have a pass, it seems that we can't get in." ”
I frowned, feeling a little helpless.
At this moment, in front of us, a group of ragged prisoners were being driven into the palace by a dozen soldiers, so I quickly caught up with one of the NPC officers who were holding prisoners, and said, "My lord, why are these prisoners being taken into the palace? ”
The NPC officer, a bearded man with a torn armor on his chest and a burst of red chest hair burning like a flame, looked at me and laughed, "Little warrior, you don't know yet, do you?" Our sovereign, Cardin III, has endless life and power, but according to the family's thousand-year-old rules, these death row prisoners are to be executed by the king himself, so they must enter the palace and receive the divine judgment! ”
I couldn't help but smile, He Yi next to me held my hand and chuckled: "If nothing else, these death row prisoners must have been absorbed by the Necromancer, the kind of evil magician who cultivates the life forbidden technique, I heard that they all have to sacrifice [***] life." ”
I smiled: "Eve knows too much~~"
"Humph!"
He Yi smiled and didn't say anything more.
At this time, several death row prisoners walking in front suddenly struggled, causing a small confusion, and suddenly the bearded officer raised his leather whip and shouted: "Do you want to die? If you dare to be presumptuous in front of your Uncle Drew, if you are presumptuous, Lao Tzu will immediately let you go to the barren land to dig coal! ”
The prisoners were frightened.
I took advantage of the situation and stepped forward and said to the bearded man: "My lord, these prisoners do not seem to be very obedient, I see that you are not manpowered, why don't I and my companions help you escort the prisoners, how about it, how about it, these copper plates are for you to buy wine and drink, and you must be tired of serving those Rausch nobles all day long!" ”
I stuffed a bunch of gold coins, about 100 or so for the bearded man, but this thing really smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Little soldier, you are very promising, bring your friends, come with me!" ”
"Good!"
He Yi and the others were speechless: "Dizzy, can you enter the palace like this?" ”
I was also helpless: "This system is full of flaws, I estimate that there are at least 1,000 ways to sneak into the palace, let's go......"
The four of them quickly followed the bearded man into the palace compound, and then found an opportunity to slip away, broke away from the prisoners, and blended into the palace backyard.
I calmed down, held the Purgatory Sword in my hand, and leaned into the backyard step by step, but I didn't want He Yi on my side to grab my cloak collar and lift it up, and said with a smile: "Don't be like a thief, you will be suspected by those NPCs, pretend, but it may be much safer, just think of yourself as the chief of the palace......"
I almost vomited blood, but the method He Yi said was really effective, the four of us were all combat players, dressed in armor and carrying blades, and it didn't look very different from those guards, so we magically touched into the backyard.
……
"Look, our King's Blade is there!" Bei Mingxue stretched out her hand and pointed ahead.
Sure enough, in the distance, a towering tree towered in the palace, full of red maple leaves, the one we were looking for, dig out the king's blade under the red maple tree, and then go to work!
Running all the way to the bottom of the tree, far away, the two palace maids found us, and immediately became suspicious, when I picked up the Purgatory Sword and began to dig a pit, the beautiful faces of the two maids immediately became hideous, a pair of fangs appeared at the corner of their mouths, and they roared hoarsely: "Damn, you dare to touch the king's blade, suffer death!" ”
"Whoa......
The two palace maids were the incarnations of the undead banshee, and they rushed over with a sharp howl!
"Bang bang!"
With two loud bangs, Bei Mingxue fired two swords in a row, nailing the two banshees to the rockery, plus a round of evil spirits shooting, He Yi flew forward, and the sword of the abyss swung twice, and suddenly the rotten heads of the two banshees rolled far away on the ground.
Hmph, kill the undead, these two mm are not merciful at all!
