Chapter 237: Morris

The black spirit ball that glows when you get close to the undead,Except when doing tasks,The rest of the time should be of little use to me.,As a player,Basically the undead are killed when you go out to level up.,As for the guild, I don't mind having players of the undead race become one of us.,As long as it's not a spy sent by another guild.怂

However, since the NPC treats this thing as a treasure, I will naturally return it to Zhao after the task is completed, so there should be no problem with this.

After accepting the mission, I began to wander around the Black Cavalry camp with the Black Spirit Orb in my arms, glancing at the Black Spirit Orb in the package from time to time to see when it would glow.

The Black Cavalry were already very familiar with me, and knew that I had a good relationship with their boss, so when they saw me wandering around the camp, no one would come up to me as long as I didn't enter their restricted area.

As a result, after two or three laps, the black spirit ball has been dull and unresponsive.

I found a secluded corner and took out the black spirit ball and looked at it repeatedly, thinking to myself that this thing must not be broken, otherwise why did I walk around two or three times and still have no response.

It's impossible to think about it, the people who can serve as the court mages of the Lingyun Kingdom are those old guys who have reached the level of a magister as early as a hundred years ago, I believe that they are still very reliable in doing things, and they will definitely not fool people with a malfunctioning thing. What's more, this thing is also related to the major matter of whether Lingyun City can successfully defeat the Black Blood Castle.

Since things don't fail, unless the target I'm looking for isn't in the camp at this time.

Thinking of this, I slipped to the gate of the Black Cavalry camp again, leaned over to a soldier who was guarding the door, and asked, "Cauldron, have any of our Black Cavalry brothers been ordered to go out on a mission recently?" ā€

Instead of answering my question, the NPC soldier asked, "I see you've been walking around here for several times, who are you looking for?" ā€

"No, I'll just ask." I hastily denied it.

"Today, Lord Gunde ordered all staff to be on standby, and no one is allowed to go out, if you are looking for someone, you can ask me directly, I am also a veteran of the Black Cavalry, and there are few people I don't know." The soldier guarding the door said enthusiastically.

"Okay, then you're busy, I'll ask you next time if you want to find someone." I said play and turned away.

Listening to the meaning of the soldiers guarding the door, in order to find out the spy hiding in the shadows, Gunder had made corresponding preparations before I came, and ordered all personnel to stand by and strictly prohibit going out, which ensured that the target must still be in the camp at this time.

Since he didn't go out but couldn't find it, where the hell was that guy hiding? The answer is obvious, they must be hiding in those places where I can't go - the forbidden places in the camps.

This is more troublesome, not to mention that I am an ordinary adventurer, that is, an ordinary officer of the Black Cavalry, cannot enter and exit at will unless he is specially permitted, that is to say, those who can enter and exit those places at will are at least senior officials of the Black Cavalry.

If I run to Gunder now and tell him that the spy is in his ranks of senior officers, and that the man should be hiding in the forbidden place in the camp right now, will Gunder believe me?

If it were Gunde, I would definitely not believe it, but I might suspect that the adventurer who was close to me had bad intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the secrets of the forbidden land, and even wondered if this adventurer would be a spy sent by those undead.

Of course, I can't expect NPCs to believe things that I don't want to believe myself, and it seems that there is only one way to do it, and that is to sneak into the forbidden area to see what is going on.

It's actually riskier to do this, if you can find the spy, it's fine, if the spy can't find it and someone else finds out, the result is very likely that I will be killed as a spy. But I don't have any other way to complete the mission, and for a player, having the opportunity to take risks is definitely happier than just farming monsters in the outside leveling area.

The plan was settled, and I immediately swaggered out of the Black Cavalry camp, first creating a false impression that I had already left the Black Cavalry NPC, and then looking for an opportunity to sneak into the camp restricted area from somewhere else in the darkness of the night to investigate.

However, it was not as simple as I had imagined, and when I tried to re-enter the camp by moonlight, I found that the Black Cavalry camp was far more fortified than I had imagined, not to prevent me, of course, but to prevent the undead from suddenly coming to raid the camp in the middle of the night.

I couldn't get in, so I had to dismiss this idea, but I was willing to give up the task, so I immediately thought of Pi Tangzhang.

After listening to my request, Pi Tangzhang patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, it's definitely no problem to hand it over to me, you just have to wait outside for my good news." ā€

"After finding it, don't act rashly first, while startling the snake." I admonished.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Pidge Zhang did not live up to my expectations, and an hour later brought me the news I wanted, to my surprise, the undead lurking in the camp of the Black Cavalry was actually one of the two deputy commanders of the Black Cavalry, who was responsible for guarding the forbidden land, and this Maurice was actually Gunde's own brother.

Because Morris is Gunde's own brother, this matter is not simple.

I frowned and couldn't think of a better way for a while, it might not be so easy to convince Gund that Morris was a spy, and at the same time I was worried about another thing, Maurice was a spy of the undead, so Gund's identity didn't seem to be so reliable.

What to do?

"I think it's important to take a look at Morris's past and see if we can find any flaws in it, and then decide what to do next." Pi Candy Zhang Ti yƬ said.

"Okay, I'll go find Gunder." As I spoke, I immediately grabbed the Black Spirit Ball from Pidberg's hand and was about to leave to talk to Gunde.

"You'd better not go to him directly, you should find other veterans to find out the situation first." Pidge Zhang grabbed me in time.

When I think about it, I still think what Pi Tangzhang said makes sense.

I remember the soldier guarding the gate told me that he was a veteran of the Black Cavalry, and there were few people here that he didn't know, and the guy seemed to be very gossipy.

So I staggered to the door again, and deliberately chatted with the soldier with a pained expression, first talking for a while, and finally bringing the topic to Morris, intentionally or unintentionally.

The NPC soldier laughed, "You mean to say that Lord Gunder is nepotistic, right?" ā€

"No, I definitely didn't mean that, I know that the reason why Morris was able to be the deputy commander must be because his ability is enough to convince the public, so Lord Gunde dared to promote him to deputy commander without avoiding his relatives."

"Haha, you're right, speaking of Lord Morris, there are indeed few disagreements within our Black Cavalry, I think Lord Morris was just a small scout captain back then, and there was an accident on another mission, we all thought that he would definitely not come back this time, but I didn't expect that Lord Morris not only came back intact, but also captured a frost bone dragon."

The NPC soldier looked around, and then whispered to me, "Now that frost bone dragon is locked up in the forbidden place of our Black Cavalry, it is said that Lord Morris is studying how to deal with those evil creatures, and I heard that the research has reached the most critical stage, as long as Lord Morris's research can be successful, there is nothing in the Black Blood Castle to stop the advance of the Imperial army." ā€

I immediately realized that there is a big loophole in this statement, what kind of storage is the frost bone dragon, maybe the current Gunder may not be able to defeat, is Morris's strength still above Gunde? Even so, how could he capture the Frost Bone Dragon in the sky?

"Are there any scouts who were on a mission with Lord Morris at the time?" I asked in a whisper.

The NPC shook his head, "No, they all died heroically in the fight against the Frost Bone Dragon. ā€

Hearing him say this, I suspect more and more that the current Morris is no longer the original Morris, and it is likely that he is a puppet who was resurrected by a necromancer after death like Nymeria's father, and it may even be directly disguised by an undead boss. The reason why Gund did not see the flaw in this should be because Maurice was his own brother, and the joy of his brother's safe return made him suddenly lose the ability to think calmly.

I talked to the NPC soldier for a while, and then I excused myself and left.

Although he already knows the details of Morris, how to expose his true face is not a simple matter, Morris has been with the frost bone dragon for a long time, and the frost bone dragon itself is also an undead, if he directly pulls Gunde to the forbidden place to identify, this is obviously inappropriate, and when the time comes, he will definitely blame the reason for the black spirit ball's glow on the imprisoned frost bone dragon.

Morris must be lured out.

I, as a knight, must not be able to successfully enter the tightly sealed forbidden place to lure Morris out, and this matter must be entrusted to Pi Tangzhang.

But a new problem arises, and when the time comes, Morris will definitely point the finger at Candy Zhang, so before we can get Gunder to confirm that Candy Chang is not an undead.

How can I prove the innocence of Pi Tangzhang in advance?

I thought hard for a while, and then immediately found Pi Tangzhang again and put the black spirit ball back into his hands.

"What does that mean?" Pi Candy was puzzled.

I told Pi Candy about the plan, and he immediately slapped his thigh: "This is a good way, I'll go now." ā€

Saying that, Pi Candy Zhang immediately took the Black Spirit Ball to find Gunde, lying that he had picked it up in the camp by accident, and knew that it was an item of the Black Cavalry, so he deliberately returned it to him.

About ten minutes later, I received a message from Pidge that Maurice had been lured out by him, but he had accidentally alerted the guards in the forbidden area, except for a small situation.
